You're one step closer to paradise...
Tree-lined and grassy, this is a perfect spot for a picnic—and there are lots of picnic tables scattered throughout the parklike setting. A shallow, cascading stream makes for a fun spot for kids to splash, although the water's a bit chilly. A 1-mi walking trail meanders through mango, monkeypod, and eucalyptus trees. This is an exceptionally peaceful place—good for yoga and meditation—that is, unless the resident roosters decide to crow. If it looks like rain, don't follow the road across the stream; it often floods, and could leave you stranded on one side. OPEN: Daily dawn--dusk.

Jury selection for the trial of Toby Griego, the man charged with committing a string of home-invasion rapes last year, is scheduled to begin Wednesday morning.
Griego, 41, faces 40 charges in connection to a string of home-invasion robberies, sexual assaults, attempted sexual assaults and kidnappings in 2013 that gripped Billings for months. He denied all charges at arraignment in November.
County Attorney Scott Twito said the trial will start Monday or Tuesday, depending on how long the jury selection process takes. The trial is expected to take about two weeks.
Clerk of District Court Kristie Lee Boelter said that a pool of 300 potential jurors was requested for the jury selection process.
Boelter said that 96 people have been confirmed for jury selection at 9 a.m. Wednesday, with another group of 93 to go through the process at 1 p.m. Some people have been excused from jury duty for various reasons.
Twito said a jury pool of this size has been called in cases before, but that it is generally not the norm.
Twelve people will be chosen to hear the trial. Twito said that it has been suggested that at least three alternate jurors also be selected.
Potential jurors will be given two questionnaires on information related to the case.
Possible members of the jury will also go through voir dire, which is questioning by legal counsel and a judge to determine if they can address the issues of the case fairly and without bias.
Investigators have linked Griego to the rapes or attempted rapes of at least six victims, beginning in early 2013 and continuing into the summer. He will be on trial for alleged offenses against four of those victims.
In each attack, Griego is alleged to have entered a woman's home and assaulted her or tried to do so.
The prosecutors in the case are Chief Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Juli M. Pierce and Chief Deputy Yellowstone County Attorney Rod Souza.
Griego is represented by Regional Deputy Public Defender David Duke, head of the Billings public defender's office, and J. Thomas Bartleson of the major-crimes unit of the state public defender's office.
Griego has been in custody at the county jail since Aug. 23. His bond is $1 million. If found guilty of rape, Griego could face life in prison.

Sb5551 | I know its crazy isnt it. This is why I dont trust other techs. |
jpdocdave | so what you guys are saying is the rear brakes have to be together properly and adjusted correctly to function???? weird. |
Sb5551 | Thats kinda weird I just came inside from doing the same exact thing on my jeep. My rear brakes were out of adjustment causing them to lock up in the snow and rain. |
TJ Gordon |
Well I think i found the problem as I was getting ready to adjust the rear shoes again just to double check things, I saw the right rear brake adjuster cable was off the half moon clip behind the spring so I put that in the grove & then that brake was lose, so I adjusted it & then checked the other side to it seemed to help. I took it up & did several reverse stops to see if it adjusted more & then stopped on a couple snowy spots & it seemed to help alot & I even notice on dry pavement I now have rear brakes helping which makes it stop even better! It just goes to show you double & tripple check your work DOH !!! I feel better about letting the wife lose in the snow now as she can wreck on dry pavement let alone snow covered streets ha ha ha !!! |
TJ Gordon |
Rear brakes not engaging proper! I have a 1999 TJ sport NO ABS for my wife & this summer I noticed the front brakes were engaging harder causing us to slide while backing the boat down a wet ramp. Plus I had a pull to the left so I replaced all the rotors Drums & pads & all seems fine till I take it out on our first snow today. The fronts lock up before I get any rear brakes. I've done several brake jobs on maybe 200 to 250 cars & trucks in my life so I use a vacume power bleeder & I replaced all the rear brake springs & they all matched up fine. My E brake has about 1.5 to 2 inchs of pull & it's engaged. So I feel there adjusted right. I used the brake pedal plus the ebrake & it stops great no front lockup or sliding but if I just use the brake pedal alone the fronts lock up & cause the front to start sliding no mater how soft I try to engage them?? I'm going to go out & jack up the rear & see if I'm getting any rear brake from the pedal. Is there a preportion valve I can adjust or is the master cylinder bad ?? I need to fix this or I know my wife will have a wreck at some point this winter |

More On Legal & Compliance
from The Advisor's Professional Library- The Custody Rule and its Ramifications When an RIA takes custody of a clients funds or securities, risk to that individual increases dramatically. Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act (better known as the Custody Rule), was passed to protect clients from unscrupulous investors.
- Books and Records Rule Thorough and complete books and records enable RIAs to demonstrate that they have fulfilled their fiduciary obligations to clients and complied with applicable rules and regulations.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Securities and Exchange Commission will allow public companies to make significant announcements on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites provided they alert investors which sites they intend to use.
The decision announced Tuesday allows companies to use social media in place of more formal websites.
The question arose after Netflix Inc. CEO Reed Hastings said on his Facebook page in July that subscribers together watched more than 1 billion hours of video for the first time during June, the agency said.
An SEC rule requires that all investors receive significant company information at the same time. By allowing businesses to use more informal channels to share news with investors, the SEC is acknowledging the shift in technology that has made social media indispensable for the largest and most powerful corporations.
One key requirement is that companies alert investors in press releases or regulatory filings as to where they plan to disseminate information that could potentially affect the price of the company's stock.
Although Hastings didn't provide any further details, the statistic implied that the usage of Netflix's Internet video library had increased significantly since the company had last provided viewership numbers six months earlier. Analysts interpreted the new viewership numbers as a sign that Netflix either hit the top end of its second-quarter goal for streaming subscribers or exceeded it.
Netflix stock jumped from $70.45 at the time of Hastings' Facebook post to $81.72 at the close of the next trading day.
Neither Hastings nor Netflix had previously used Facebook to announce company information and they hadn't notified investors that Facebook might be used for that purpose, the SEC said Tuesday. The agency's enforcement division opened an inquiry but took no action against Hastings or Netflix nor alleged any wrongdoing.
Rather, the SEC decided to issue the guidance for all companies, saying they should take care to disseminate information through social media in a way that all people will have access to it.
Netflix said in a statement Tuesday, "We appreciate the SEC's careful consideration and resolution of this matter."

My grandmother and I visited The Dog Inn, Pentrich for the first time today - and I can safely say it won't be the last! We went on a quiet Saturday lunchtime. Once we ordered drinks we were seated at our table. My first impression of the restaurant was 'wow!' The decor is a beautiful, intimate purple and the tables and chairs are laid out nicely.
There is plenty to choose from on the menu and I was spoilt for choice. The food was absolutely delicious and presented as a work of art. There was approximetly a 15-20 minute wait between the starter and the main which was perfect, as it was nice not to feel rushed. As much as we would have liked to sample the desserts, we were already full - maybe next time. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the bill only came to £24. The Dog Inn is a little gem which I highly recommend.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! God chose the poor in the world to be rich with faith and to receive the kingdom God promised to those who love him. | 5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? |
6 But you show no respect to the poor. The rich are always trying to control your lives. They are the ones who take you to court. | 6 But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? |
7 And they are the ones who speak against Jesus, who owns you. | 7 Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? |
8 This royal law is found in the Scriptures: "Love your neighbor as you love yourself." If you obey this law, you are doing right. | 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. |
9 But if you treat one person as being more important than another, you are sinning. You are guilty of breaking God's law. | 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. |
10 A person who follows all of God's law but fails to obey even one command is guilty of breaking all the commands in that law. | 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. |
11 The same God who said, "You must not be guilty of adultery," also said, "You must not murder anyone." So if you do not take part in adultery but you murder someone, you are guilty of breaking all of God's law. | 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. |
12 In everything you say and do, remember that you will be judged by the law that makes people free. | 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, |
13 So you must show mercy to others, or God will not show mercy to you when he judges you. But the person who shows mercy can stand without fear at the judgment. | 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! |
14 My brothers and sisters, if people say they have faith, but do nothing, their faith is worth nothing. Can faith like that save them? | 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? |
15 A brother or sister in Christ might need clothes or food. | 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. |

Two Cave Creek residents have been cited after a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office helicopter plucked eight people to safety from vehicles stuck in washes last week.
Jacqueline Goodspeed, 65, was cited for failure to obey a police officer after she drove a Toyota Land Cruiser into water about 4 feet deep Friday near Desert Hills Drive and 58th Street, the sheriff's office said.
A couple hours later, Paul Zalewski, 47, drove a Hummer with six passengers into a flooded wash at Creek Canyon Road in Cave Creek, the sheriff's office said. The vehicle stalled and washed downstream. Zalewski's wife, three children, a 59-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman were with him. He was cited for reckless driving.
"The water rescues are just really outrageous," said sheriff's Capt. Ron Stoner. "People do what they want to do; they can pay for it."
Goodspeed and Zalewski will have to pay for their rescues if they are convicted under the state's stupid motorist law.
In Goodspeed's case, she asked a deputy if it would be safe to cross, and he said it was "too dangerous."
Authorities afterward asked her about the warning.
"Yes, he did, that was a dumb thing to do, I should have listened to you
guys," she said. "I'm really sorry I caused so much trouble. Thank you so much for helping me."

Trust Fall Goes Spectacularly Wrong (VIDEO)
When thinking about the way in which a trust fall could go wrong, you'd probably imagine a scenario in which the person falling backwards fails to be caught by the person standing behind them.
You wouldn't, in all likelihood, imagine the scene above - which demonstrates not only the need to trust those around you when partaking in a trust fall, but also the need to listen to instructions very clearly.
Still, it's not the only bizarre way a trust fall can pan out. Just look at this recent, festive, example below...

Like a new Vince Young, he's been a threat on the ground, with 329 yards rushing and three touchdowns -- after a 2007 season in which he had more than 1,000 yards rushing.

The Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross
We adore you, O Christ and we bless you.
Because by your holy cross, you have saved the world.
The body of Jesus is taken down from the cross. His heart-broken mother, Mary, holds him in her arms and cries. It is so sad to watch her holding the limp body of her son.
After all the waiting, the end comes quickly. There is finality about it all. Your lifeless body taken down from the cross. There is nothing glorious about your death. A heavy, heavy weight pulls me down and oppresses my spirit.
Dear Jesus, help me to be a comfort to others who are sad. Help me to console my family and my friends when they are upset.

Every now and then, you have an encounter so enchanting that your memory may think you only imagined it. A stay at The Lennox House Bed and Breakfast, located in the heart of Downtown Colorado Springs, is such an adventure.

The Lennox House is a beautiful historic home in Colorado Springs. The rooms are nicely decorated & comfortable. The innkeepers, Debbie and Mike, are friendly & very helpful with suggestions for sightseeing and for dining. Our room, The Spring Haven, faces west & overlooks Nevada Avenue with a view of Pikes Peak. This was a perfect place to stay for a couple of days to sightsee in Colorado Springs before heading up in the mountains to our dude ranch. The service was exceptional as was the breakfast both mornings. The history of this fine old home is quite interesting. You can read about John Lennox and his family here, http://tinyurl.com/ngkb8yr We would highly recommend a stay at the Lennox House.

We stayed in the Summer Escape room. It was an outstanding room. Deb & Mike's service was also great. Breakfast was good, but would have liked better coffee and crisper french toast.
4.4 on May 29, 2014
Our stay was very relaxing. This is truly a charming historical home. Our Innkeepers were very personable. Mike is quite the historian and kept us entertained with stories of the area. They also know the best places to eat and the area attractions.
3.2 on February 21, 2014
My wife and I stayed one night and that was plenty. It is a beautiful house and maintained with care. I enjoyed the old fashioned feel and stained glass windows. A short walk to the downtown area if it's warm. The only issue I had was with the owner. I couldn't tell if it was her. Normal personality or if we had done something wrong. But it felt as though we were unwanted house guests. There was an underlined tone of annoyance from the min. We showed up. Not very inviting.
4.8 on August 01, 2013
We just got done doing a 2-night stay at Lennox House, and Deb was a great host (and chef). Colorado Springs is beautiful, and Deb knows all the best parts of it to experience. Also, we were a group of 4 adults and a baby, so it was great to stay in the Falcon's Next room . . . 2 bedrooms (total of 4 beds), plus a common living room area, kitchen area, and bathroom. Awesome. Enjoy!
4.4 on July 24, 2013
This is a fabulous B&B Bonnie was very helpful to us throughout our stay and even made reservations for us at a restaurant she recommended. My only suggestion would be to make coffee for early risers. Tea was available in pre-package envelopes, but no coffee. We will be staying there again!
4.8 on July 17, 2013
This was our second stay as a family of four at the Lennox House. The upper Falcon's Nest apartment was unavailable, but we were able to thoroughly enjoy the Summer Escape room, which had ample space for our two young kids (ages 2 and 6.) The room is cheerful and relaxing, in shades of robin's egg blue and lemon yellow....the bathroom has a fantastic-ly large tub, and the king bed was extremely comfortable. The boys shared the daybed, which had a trundle as well. There is a mini fridge on the same level, with bottled water, and a cute little sitting area that overlooks the front yard. Downstairs in the dining area, there are always snacks left out for guests: nut snack mix, M&Ms, chocolates, mints, and a specially made baked treat, such as brownies or chocolate chip cookies. The house itself is still as impressive as we remember-and they just had the front steps totally rebuilt and the entire exterior of the house is being repainted this week (still the color yellow!) The grounds are maintained well...loved that the yard is fenced and the kids were able to run about and borrow balls, wagons, bikes and other toys from the innkeeper. Melissa was fantastic (and allowed us to check in several hours early), and Debbie and Mike (innkeepers) were sweet and helpful, and very informative. Like visiting family! The location is walkable to CO College, and we also made the trek on foot to downtown (or a few minutes drive away.) Tons of shops and restaurants minutes away. Close to major highway too. I will continue to suggest this B&B to my friends and relatives...it's one of the only B&B in the area that accepts kids under 12 and they give a VERY generous military discount (which we are!) Thank you for another lovely stay!! We'll be back!

I found this on Groupon and bought it for my sweetheart as a much-needed getaway. Micki Coriell is the innkeeper there and is full of fascinating stories about the building such as the Tiffany stained glass window. And man, does she cook a heavenly, wholesome homemade from the bottom up breakfast! We loved our room with the king-sized bed and bath with shower and garden tub. It's perfect for a couple who need some quality time alone and we had some wonderful, memorable conversations while relaxing there. We loved the neighborhood of big old homes with graceful verandas, perfect for rocking peacefully of an evening. The old churches are also worth a visit or just a drive-by in appreciation.

Some might have scoffed at last year's Xbox Live Arcade game Dishwasher: Dead Samurai and its undead menial laborer in bloody combat with ninjas, robots, and the like. It turns out that a premise that far-fetched can support not just one, but two whole games, as developer Ska Studios has announced an Xbox Live Arcade sequel to the game in Dishwasher: Vampire Smile.
Vampire Smile apparently retains the original game's formula, with the Dishwasher character disposing of giant bosses and their evil henchmen left and right. The game features a mostly muted palette accentuated by splashes of color to go with special attacks and all-too-frequent dismemberments. According to the developer, Vampire Smile is built on a new engine allowing for "an even more visually gruesome experience."
The original Dishwasher gained notoriety after co-winning Microsoft's 2007 Dream-Build-Play contest, in which two independent game developers were awarded contracts to release their submissions on Xbox Live Arcade. However, it didn't actually see the light of day on Microsoft's console until last April, when it launched to a positive critical reception.
No release date was announced for Vampire Smile, with the developer saying only that it would be coming "when it's done."

I'm really bad at FINISHING rooms. I feel like most of my house is this pretty green (which I've grown tired of) and beige. My kitchen is no exception to this horrible pattern I've developed. I'd like to replace my bar stools and get a rug for in front of the sink area. My thoughts go like this: Red bar stools? Is that too much? Mustard yelllow? Just keep the stools black? Should I paint and get rid of the green? Maybe just add color in the rug and accessories? I'd love to hear ideas from those who aren't allergic to color. My wish list: 1) Four bar stools - Most important to us are comfort and overall style/look. 2) Accessories/rugs - Bold color? Patterns too busy? What do I need to do to FINISH this room? Thanks in advance! I love these forums. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It occurred to me I might need to clarify the colors in the pics. Also, I apologize for all the junk on that particular space of counter - it's my "landing spot" for everything. Maple cabinets with a dark glaze. Olive green paint (very little necessary in my actual kitchen area). Multi-toned grey laminate counters. Cream subway backsplash, except the buffet section, which has black beadboard backsplash. Black trim and decorative pieces on cabinets. White trim, ceilings, and doors. |
- Posted by louislinus (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 1:05
It's a lovely kitchen! It just needs some personality. :) Hang an old metal sign or plaque over the doorway, put a few decorative items on the island (large colorful bowl with fruit), and yes get new barstools. |
I would get a light colored runner and some silver metal barstools, or something lighter. It just needs a little brightening up. Are you saying you want to repaint the green wall? Lovely kitchen!! |
I would get a rug with some color and texture and some fabric stools that repeated some of the color in the rug. And the rug and/or the stools with pattern. You have so much wood in the kitchen that you need some texture to soften things a bit. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 7:19
I would spray paint the stools and change the seat covers if you like the stools overall. As a starting point, I'd look for art work or dishes that you like. Also, do you like the green walls? I personally am a fan of cream or greenish blue. |
I don't see any walls for artwork, but you could replace the things on your open shelves (above your landing spot) with some colorful pottery. And maybe a colorful bowl for fruit (or napkins or whatever) in the center of the island? I'm not sure if red is the answer for your barstools, but gold would work. Like a mustard color? I'd find the rug first and then pull colors from there. I don't know how much you want to spend, but Company C has some great colorful rugs. Here's one. |

No need to fear color...I love color! I'm not feeling the red. Eggplant. I'm in my eggplant phase and think it would look great with the pretty maple cabinets. A true eggplant can go dark in your room, but maybe something a shade lighter....this is SW mature grape... I changed the color of the rug too, and if you can lighten the ceiling...SW Spanish white.... I think it will go a long way to brighten the room overall. Then I'd change out the rug, get stools that swivel with backs on them to make them more prominent and comfortable and then (can't see from the pics) add a fabric valance that includes the off white and purple. |
- Posted by christine40 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 8:47
That's a very nice green and it goes really nicely with your cabinets. I'd get a long Oriental runner for the stretch along the sink. Get new stools, and unless you need four, I'd get only three for the long end of the island. That fourth one looks cluttered to me. Maybe take that doodad down from the flat surface over the sink and hang a gold-framed painting; and a narrow painting over the doorway; What if you were to paint just the island, either in the same green as the wall (or same color as the wall if you repaint) or another color? |
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 9:11
I don't see a drastic wall color change as making a difference toward good. To me you just need more interest and texture. You played it safe (or someone did) with the island lighting (although the lighting is nice :) You don't have walls for art so make the lighting your art. Some very cool lighting there would really make a HUGE difference. I see the walls in a light soft grey/green. As suggested you could paint the barstools and recover, or, look for a very low backed stool. As for the runner, that's one of those things you will now it when you see it. Keep in mind I don't know what the rest of your house looks like so not sure if these would work overall. I would do three. |
This post was edited by jterrilynn on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 9:41
Very pretty kitchen - my last house I had purple and green in my kitchen and some adjoining rooms. I LOVED IT... Since you do have very little wall space - would you consider wall paper - just to add some pattern to the room cover your stools in a coordinating fabric and maybe a small runner for your island. |
Let's start with a simple change -- add a large black bowl to your island -- and fill it with a colorful fruit -- red apples? oranges? pears? grapes? -- that small but vibrant change can really help determine if-and how-much color you can stand to see out all day ..... Yes -- start with an accessory like a long runner -- again -- put it down for a few days -- and see if you can live with the colors ..... |
I like the first stools Tibbrix posted. |
Like Tiberius says.....an oriental runner or 2. Sounds totally impractical but in reality works very well. |
Orientals are great for kitchens as they hide every stain but they also add a richness to an otherwise angular room. I would dissent, though, from getting two. what you don't want in a kitchen is any possible means of tripping, like when you're carrying boiling hot water or pans. |
- Posted by mtnrdredux (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 10:50
A dissenter here: I would not do stools with backs, at least not on aesthetic grounds. I think it will look and feel crowded. We need a start ... What colors or patterns do you like? |
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 11:18
Mtn, no backs? You must be a very young chicky! I do agree though that the backs shouldn't be too high. A low back would be good. |
This post was edited by jterrilynn on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 11:36
Where stools and backs or no backs are concerned, I'd go with function over form. Backless stools are so uncomfortable. If they're for kids, fine. But if adults sit there and chat with you while you're working, I'd get stools with backs. I don't think a low back would be obtrusive, esp. when the stool is push in. Might even add some needed texture to the room. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 11:44
I love light blueish green/gray walls Wythe Blue Or Palladian Blue, Yarmouth Blue, Wedgewood Gray.... Bu think we need to know what color you like. |
I put together your kitchen a new barstool and runner. Let me know what you think… like or dislike? |
- Posted by tomatofreak (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 14:32
Too. Much. Dark. I like the lightness of the island and think you need some functional stools with a lot of pizzazz. Look through this list and I'll bet something jumps out at you. I love the Navy stools and the Bertoia's. Especially the latter. They're light and airy, yet have a back that's serious enough to encourage a long sit for coffee and a chat. |

Btw, what is the treatment on your ceiling. I'm intrigued by the play of light on it. |
- Posted by patricia43 (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 14:37
I like AKTillery's vision but I like tomatofreak Tolix bar stools (perhaps in tomato red) with the colors shown by AKTillery in order to give the kitchen a little pizazz. Either aqua or sage would be beautiful for the painted areas in the kitchen with the door frame and baseboards in a lighter color, i.e., white/ivory/oyster and the wood cabinets staying the same, a great Oriental runner of same ground color as walls, but use tomato bar/counter stools to give the room some unexpected "pop." |
- Posted by jterrilynn (My Page) on Fri, Jul 25, 14 at 16:37
I think I like this elephant brown gray best because it adds drama. Also, it just dawned on me that although I would get a short back stool, the stool couldn't have arms at all because it wouldn't slide all the way in. Sorry I didn't have time to look for a runner. The pendants are from RH. |
A simple improvement I would make is to tone down the white trim. To my eye it looks very harsh and clashes with the ceiling colour. If the ceiling colour is the same as the trim, its texture and horizontal view are affecting the perception of the colour, in the photo at least. |
Wow! Thank you for taking the time to give suggestions, everybody. I'm so happy to hear ideas I never would have thought of, such as: purple or blue-toned paint, silver metal bar stools, and new lighting Also, I realize the lighting and/or photo effect cause the colors to be a bit off. My ceiling is just drywall finished with "mud" and paint (very common in our region - the Midwest/Southeast). The ceiling is very white and is exactly the same as the trim throughout my house. My kitchen is open to my traditional living room, with a darker shade of the green paint "Mark Twain House Olive" Valspar. That living room (shown in holiday mode below) is slated for a color and furniture change in the next year. Style-wise, we completely remodeled this 40-year-old ranch, but kept things very traditional. Every surface was pastel, off-white, or wallpapered when we bought it, so I reacted with color - safe, earth toned color. The end result is darker-than-I'd like areas for sure. Slowly, I've been changing that. Also, it's probably important to note that I have four young kids (hence, the four stools) and have thus far been keeping things as practical as possible as they grow in independence. I love the idea of a runner in the kitchen and I think I'll do that now that my kids aren't sloshing around their cups and driving ride-on toys through. I am intrigued by the eggplant paint idea and the examples you've shown look beautiful. I'm afraid it'd be an uphill battle to talk my husband into that! It's definitely something to explore further, though. I can see bringing that into my living room too, with accents. Tibbrix, I love that first pic of West Elm stools. I also love those Bertoia stools (yikes, $1,000 each, though!). Would silver stools look strange with all my copper cabinet hardware? I get pigeon-holed when it comes to mixing metals, even though it seems to look great in many room pics Our current stools used to have backs, but I removed them to try out what backless would be like. I think it's true that the backed stools are much more comfortable. I'd love for a stool to have a low back. Overall, I feel like modern-looking stools won't go with all the traditional decor I have. I hate that, in a way, because I really lean toward that industrial style that I see everywhere and I'm drawn to both rustic and transitional styles too. I'm about to paint Woodlawn Colonial Gray (Valspar) down my long hallway. I'll post a few pics of things I love and would like to incorporate in this kitchen area. Maybe that will narrow it down. I've been looking at overstock's stools (pricing is great). I'd say stools need to be less than $200 each to have a prayer of making the cut :) Thanks again. I love the mock-up AnnieDeighnaugh and the product suggestions. |
Here is a stool very similar to the first West Elm stool I posted, but much less expensive (see link) http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Recycled_Leather_Bar_Stool/740/ |

I love the natural fiber rugs, like sisal, etc., but they are not good in kitchens. They will show every stain and look pretty bad in no time. They are better for where there isn't a lot of traffic or risk of spills. |
I like this one: http://www.homedecorators.com/images/items/medium/13596420.jpg It looks like I can find lots of runners. Perhaps I should go with stools first, then find runners. |

I like the silver stools. I've also seen those at C&B (not sure they still carry them) and then online at Overstock but not the swivel version. |
I was really worried about the mix of metals and styles when we bought these barstools for the island in our coastal-ish, cottage-y home -- but they were so comfortable and so well-priced that I decided it was worth the risk. All of our visitors rave about them! |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Jul 26, 14 at 10:20
You are right that there's a lot of green. Do you know what color you'll choose for the anticipated LR changes? I really like the Woodlawn Colonial Gray you have picked for the hallway It may be boring, but I'd also like a light creamy yellow, like in that rug Tibbrix posted (maybe Windham Cream), for your kitchen. |
Gawd, I love that rug I put up. I think I'm going to get it for myself for inside my front door! Lol. Agree w/NSM (as usual), a soft yellow would be nice in there too. |
With 4 young children and an active kitchen environment, I would never use any sort of runner that couldn't be thrown in the washer or otherwise easily cleaned. Any item in your home that "hides dirt," does just that: hides dirt. A prelude to nasty and smelly (esp. near a dishwasher). A seagrass runner can be hosed off. So can an indoor/outdoor propylene rug. Or, a basic cotton rug can easily be washed. These from Dash & Albert are easily cleaned and maintained. They have green in them to coordinate with your wall color, but there are many colors/patterns available. |
I have so many good ideas from this post. Thanks so much! You have encouraged me to jump outside my (green and traditional) box :) I feel like I have the courage to try several different things and styles instead of boxing myself in. You've given me lots of places to shop that I've never seen before, too. I plan to buy several types of things to "try them out" as soon as I get the chance. Then, I'll just take back what doesn't work. It'll be an annoyance to drive back and forth to stores an hour away, but I really have to SEE it. I would love to paint my kitchen and living room that gray color above (first, doing it in my hallway). I'm so impatient - I want it all done today! Then, perhaps, I can get this kitchen finished and move on to the living room. Gotta convince my husband to stop working so much and work on the house instead! |
FYI: I LOVE Dash & Albert rugs, but be aware that the cotton ones, like the ones Peony showed, are VERY hard to vacuum, because they are lightweight and do not sit heavy on the floor. I think if I were to go that route, i.e.: a flatter rug with that kind of pattern, I'd look at indoor/Outdoor rugs. I love the selection at Plow & Heart. |
Try painting the wall white, less color than you have now. |

Late to the party! I suggest changing out your cabinet hardware to stand out/go better with the new lighting and bar stools you'll be picking out--you know, the metal ones in the silver family! LOL I don't think you need more wood in that room! I agree on the wool runner idea--hardly anything shows and you can easily spot clean. Keep us posted! |

Can you tell me what the name of your Green paint color is? As everyone repaints to gray and blue and taupe, I still think Green will be the color that replaces Gold in my sunroom. Thanks |

Leicestershire County Cricket Club is pleased to welcome Edmonds & Slatter Opticians as our official Optical Partners for the 2015 season.

Cricket fans in Leicestershire will have the chance to enjoy first-hand accounts of how the game has evolved over the years, delivered in a unique style.
Former Leicestershire batsman Will Jefferson is to participate in a unique family Q&A event, alongside his father, former Surrey bowler Richard Jefferson.
The event will take place on Thursday, March 14th, and will offer the rare opportunity to discover a family's experience of the world of professional cricket over the past fifty years.
The Leicestershire Cricket Society is hosting the event which will start at 7:30pm at Leicestershire CCC's Grace Road ground in the Charles Palmer Suite. Admission will be free of charge for all members of the Leicestershire Cricket Society. Non-members will be able to gain admission for £5. Advance tickets are not available; tickets are only available on the evening.
Will Jefferson is a former right-handed batsman, whose career has seen him play for Leicestershire, Essex and Nottinghamshire. Forced to retire from the sport last year, due to a rare hip condition, Will was part of the Foxes team that lifted the Friends Life Twenty20 Championship at Edgbaston in 2011 and also featured in the England A team in 2007.
Throughout a career that spanned across 12 years, Will scored 7,096 first-class runs at 35.83, 3,144 runs in one-day matches at 34.17 and 1,254 Twenty20 runs at an average of 20.96 and a strike rate of 128.48.
Richard Jefferson, a right-handed medium-fast bowler and hard hitting batsman, played cricket for Surrey in the early 1960s as an amateur, then as a non-contracted player when amateurs were abolished at the end of 1962. Later, he captained Norfolk where he settled after his marriage in 1966, whilst still keeping close links with Surrey. He was later listed by the famous cricket writer John Arlott as being one of the best English cricketers that had never played for England.
Throughout his career, Richard took 263 wickets and scored 2,094 first-class runs at an average of 19.75. The Q&A evening will give an insight into the father and son's personal experiences of cricket, both then and now. Will and Richard Jefferson will candidly discuss issues that have changed the game of cricket over the years, whilst also delivering first-hand opinions and accounts of their own experiences.
Ahead of the evening, Will said: "Having gone down a storm in Sussex last year, we again look forward to offer our unique 'Jeffersonian' take on cricket; ancient and modern. Our aim is to put on an evening of laughs, insights and stories from both our careers. A father and son in conversation about the game close to their hearts."
His father, Richard, added: "I am delighted to be coming to Grace Road to share a stage with Will, having followed his cricket career extremely closely since he was two years old! My own first-class cricket was played 50 years ago, when it was a very, very different game. The evening will be reflecting on then and now."

Jamey Fader, Rachel Kesley, Brandon Biederman and more dish on their daily rituals
Lori Midson Brandon Biederman, exec chef of ACE and Steuben's.
The signature signs of a city that's on the culinary fast track reside in its willingness to take aggressive risks, push infinite boundaries and continually adapt to a fickle dining public whose expectations are always on the upswing. Denver is that city -- a major metropolis that refuses to slow down, unleashing triumphant restaurants, watering holes and breweries commanded by innovative masterminds, the likes of which have resulted in a James Beard Award-winning chef, nationally crowned cocktail champions and Einsteins of beer.
See also: Welcome to Westword's 19th annual DISH
As a prelude to the September 22 DISH, Westword's annual celebration of the Denver dining scene, we picked the brains of nearly fifty Denver chefs, all of whom weighed in on Denver's current culinary landscape and the trends that have made their mark this past year. But that's not all we wanted to know: We also wondered which ingredient best personified their personalities and what ritual was an integral part of their daily routine.
Herewith the dish from Jamey Fader, Rachel Kesley, Brandon Biederman, Mark Fischer and Tom Coohill; watch for more installments through the week, and read part one of our DISH chef series here.

Overall a very good little Hotel, with a competent and helpfull staff. I did however encountered something weird. I stayed for one night while travelling to Italy. The weird part was, that before 7:00 i was unable to check out of the Hotel. Which was unfortunate, cause i planned my travel, with a 6:00 start. Further more there was no indication of this little "thing" on the website of the Hotel. So if you are planning for an early start i would recommend another Hotel.

Salakhain | |
Directed by | Shehzad Rafiq |
Produced by | Khalil Rana & Khwaja Rashid |
Written by | Amjad Islam Amjad |
Starring | Zara Sheikh Meera Saud Ahmed Butt Farooq Zamir |
Music by | M. Arshad |
Cinematography | Ali Jan |
Release dates
August 13, 2004 |
Country | Pakistan |
Language | Urdu |
Salakhain (Urdu: سلاخیں) is a Lollywood film which was released in 2004. Stars included Ahmed Butt, Zara Sheikh and Meera. Music was composed by M Arshad. Sajid Hassan and Saud were cast as villains with Shafi Muhammad as their boss.
Salakhain is an Urdu feature film set in the backdrop of Gawalmandi, Lahore. It is the story of a young man who is passionate about life and dreams of a bright and prosperous future. Little does he know what life has in store for him? He is destined for a future engulfed with hatred, anger and revenge.
Introducing 'Ahmad', Pakistan's most sought after model and winner of LUX Style Awards 2003 for Best Model, in the Lead role, Salakhain is devoid of Compassion and sympathy. Full of nonstop action, Salakhain is a thriller sure to make you sit upright in your chair.
Salakhain tells the story of an innocent, hardworking student called Faizan (Ahmed Butt) who comes from a lower-middle-class family and who is in love with an equally innocent and earnest looking young girl. Faizan is the good son and wants to live with to his fathers dream which is to make a business and improve the lifestyle of their family. Unfortunately the dreams are shattered while he was taking his exams as he is implicated in a crime a dispute with the booti mafia (people facilitating cheating during exams), this results to his father's death and mother's mental health due to shock, one following the other in quick succession.
In jail he meets a man called Zaigham (Saud) and becomes friends with him who knows his enemies well and has his own issues to pick up with them. Zaigham gets Faizan out of lock-up. Faizan now wants revenge for his parents. The rest is as predictable as any action movie made anywhere in the world - a journey towards retribution, passing through the maze called politics and crime.
Zara sheik the girl faizan love gets married to (sami khan) a police officer who is looking for faizan since he is a criminal and zara hides his picture when she sees it in sami's wanted list so he wont know how he looks like. meera and faizan team up to kill sajid hassan who is the leader. meera wants to kill him because he killed her sister by throwing acid on her face. faizan finds his mother and at the end in a shootout faizan finda out that zara is married and meera and faizan are killed in a shootout.
Lahore: Golden Jubilee, 73 weeks (Gulistan 35, Capital 9, Plaza 9, Empire 8 weeks). Completed continuously one year in Lahore. It was a Super Hit.
The reason why this movie clicked and why others made similarly did not (and will not) do well lies in how and how much filmmakers are able to stretch the limits of the possible. How much experimentation is done within a given form is what gives a film a fresh image that can attract audiences.
What goes to the credit of makers of Salakhain is that they seem to know their limits. But this ability to remain within a given framework also turns out to be the film's most significant flaw. The director and the writer are unable to put the possibilities to test. They have succeeded in as much as that they have produced something that scores seven out of ten on technical grounds. But they have failed as much as that they have come up with a film that scores dismally as far as the storyline is concerned.
The film is shot on the most breathtaking and exquisite locations in Pakistan and the pleasure of watching the movie on the silver screen will be greatly enhanced by the digital (DTS) sound.
The decision as to which subjects can be banked upon for the creation of a successful flick is highly personal and may depend upon various reasons for various persons. But as a general rule it is money that makes the mare go. The basic consideration for most of the moviemakers remains - or should remain - commercial, though there have been plenty of notable exemptions to this rule. Anyone attempting to have a go at a productive commercial venture needs to keep some basic facts in mind though, the most significant being lessons from the past. One needs to tread carefully where others have faltered quite frequently. The nexus between student leaders, crime and politics is one theme that has been used successfully only very sparingly so one wonders why the producers decided to repeat it.

Hi all,
I have a new banana plant and I'm curious about what to do with it. I have it in a pot and I'm switching from dragging it outside but I really want it inside so I drag it back indoors on occasion. Should I stick it in the back yard with the most sun, or put it out front where it gets morning sun but blocked off from the afternoon heat? Or is it OK to let it grow inside the house with the window up for it to get sun during the day? I also wanted to learn about what to feed it, outside of watering it when it's dry. Any tips or other banana plant trees? It's a Musa cavendishii 'Nana' that I got from Spring Hill Nursery. Geek Chic |

I would keep it in the front with less sun so it wont burn up on you. They prefer to be outside and do grow much better. I use miracle grow food on everything and it's never done me wrong. Your plants looks very happy & healthy. |
hello, I have 3 cavendish banana trees, all are in the containers. Any suggestions for a good fertilizer for them. I keep them in my green house in the winter and outside for the rest of the year. Would like to post the picture but don't know how. Can anyone help? Any advices will be appreciated. Dee |

If you want them to fruit you should use a high ratio fertilizer. We have a place here that makes its own: 20-0-30 which I use once a month. I'm not sure what potted bananas will do. They have pretty extensive root systems. |

1. Place a piece of wax paper under the area to be painted. If you are working with stencils, position the stencil in the desired area. Using the fawn paint and a foam paintbrush, apply the paint to the brush and then tap off the excess paint so the brush is near dry. Paint the stencil in a uneven fashion for an aged or worn look. For foam stamps, apply the paint directly to the stamp and stamp in the desired position. Allow the paint to dry.
Next, layer more designs and colors of paint by repeating the steps above with the licorice and berry wine paints.
- Heat set the paint with an iron. Sew decorative stitches over the painted design with various colors of thread.

We probably all think of kickstarter as an outlet for wacky new inventions. Luckily some design nerds (no offense to Jesse Reed & Hamish Smyth) saw an opportunity to share a piece of design legend with the world. They've rebuilt Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda's signage and way finding system, the NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual. 364 pages of perfectly crafted letterforms and information design. So if you're an admirer of Vignelli and you've got some money lying around—hurry up and back it. |
Recently on a trip to Finland I happened upon the amazing design work for Helsinki's Flow Festival by local studio Tsto. The banners and event posters enticed my girlfriend and I so much that we decided to go and check it out. |
San Francisco studio Moniker, which is run by one of my favorite designers and illustrators, Brent Couchman, recently designed Herman Miller's report on environmental advocacy, inclusiveness and diversity. |
San Francisco-based Erik Marinovich is kind of hard to ignore on the contemporary lettering scene. Not only does he have a respectable roster of previous clients as well as some incredible accolades, but the guy carved type into a tree stump with his bare freakin' hands (okay, maybe he used tools, whatever). I use a Wacom every day and still struggle with chopsticks, so to go from brushes to chisels is just showing off. |

Atlas Gives Scientists New View of the Brain
The Wall Street Journal
Date Published:
April 13, 2011
Scientists funded by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen unveiled a $55 million computerized atlas of the human brain Tuesday, offering the first interactive research guide to the anatomy and genes that animate the mind.
A project of the Seattle-based Allen Institute for Brain Science, the online atlas offers researchers a powerful new tool to understand where and how genes are at work in the brain. That could help them find new clues to conditions rooted in the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease, autism and mental-health disorders like depression.

A Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court will have a preliminary hearing on November 20 on the maintainability of P.A. Sangma's petition challenging the election of Pranab Mukherjee as President.
The Bench, comprising Chief Justice Altamas Kabir and Justices P. Sathasivam, S.S. Nijjar, J. Chelameswar and Ranjan Gogoi, passed an order to this effect on Thursday, following submissions made by senior counsel Harish Salve and P.H. Parekh, on behalf of Mr. Mukherjee, and Attorney General G.E. Vahanvati that the petition could be dismissed after a preliminary hearing if the court was satisfied that there was no merit in proceeding further.
Earlier senior counsel Ram Jethmalani and Satyapal Jain, appearing for Mr. Sangma, drew the court's attention to an interim affidavit filed by Mr. Mukherjee and said under the Civil Procedure Code there must be a full affidavit. Quoting Supreme Court Rules coupled with CPC provisions, Mr. Jethmalani said issues had to be framed on facts as well as on law and then there should be an inspection and disclosure of documents.
Mr. Salve also quoted the relevant Supreme Court Rules and said there had to be a preliminary hearing and the matter must end if there were facts ex facie wrong. If trial was not worthwhile, the petition could be dismissed.
On the allegations in the petition, he said since they were based on wrong facts and no case was made out.
The Attorney General, a necessary party under the rules, said a preliminary hearing was a prerequisite for a regular hearing. "If after a preliminary hearing the court feels that the allegations do not deserve full hearing, it can dismiss the petition."
Mr. Sangma, the unsuccessful NDA-supported candidate, contended that Mr. Mukherjee was not eligible to contest for President as he had been holding offices of profit. "Mr. Mukherjee was holding the office of Chairman of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, on the date of his filing nomination, the date of scrutiny as well as the date of declaration of his election and he continues to hold the post till date." His letter of resignation from the post had been fabricated and the signature appended by someone else, Mr. Sangma alleged. Moreover, "Mr. Mukherjee was leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, which was an office of profit, as the person holding this office was entitled to various facilities, in addition to the facilities available to him as Member of Parliament."
In his reply, Mr. Mukherjee clarified that he quit the ISI chief post on June 20. He said he sent the resignation letter through Swapan Ghosh, who carried it to Kolkata the same day. Moreover, it "is an honorary office without any emoluments, and resignation from such an office is a unilateral act, and the resignation did not require to be accepted. The delivery of the letter itself was sufficient and the resignation came into effect immediately."
As for the other ground cited by Mr. Sangma, Mr. Mukherjee said the assumption that he as leader of the Lok Sabha was entitled to any perquisite beyond those available to him as Minister was incorrect.
