text: Steve Aoki kicked off his Mementos exhibit on Wednesday, March 12th at L.A. event space Scion A/V Installation, showcasing ten years of art he collected from his appreciative fans as he toured the world. The GRAMMY-nominated DJ and owner of Dim Mak Records created the exhibit to show off the bevy of gifts he has received over the past decade from his loyal following including paintings, drawings, sculptures and more. Also contributing to the gallery are L.A.-based art duo devNgosha who created signed limited edition prints from the evening's signature piece, pictured below. Also up for grabs is exclusive Dim Mak merchandise, which will be available in store until Mementos wraps up at the end of the month. All proceeds go to the Steve Aoki Charitable Fund. "Everything I do is about the fans. When Scion approached me with the opportunity of a gallery pop-up I thought it would be an amazing chance to showcase the fan-made art that I've collected over the years. DevNGosha is another artist that I admire and when they were open to bringing attention to both the fans and raising money for the Steve Aoki Charitable fund, it seemed like a perfect fit." After living in Los Angeles for 12 years Steve Aoki is packing his bags and setting up camp in Las Vegas. He claims that the Scion A/V exhibit "was also a way to clean out my garage, which was full of fan art." Mementos: Ten Years of Fan-Made Artwork will run at Scion AV Installation until March 30th. Take a look at more pictures from the opening via the Dim Mak website and see the flyer for the exhibit with more details below. Guest article by: Kyle Fall

How To Talk Commitment...Even When "It's Complicated"
- Get clear about your priorities and your boundaries.
- Know your own self. While many of us fall in love or fall into fuzzy kinds of relationships without necessarily meaning to, know what your priorities and boundaries are. This isn't about boxing yourself in, of course. Allow room for flexibility AND stay in touch with what your values are. We aren't going to tell you what's right and what's wrong. We do urge you to know what YOU believe is right and wrong for you. If you haven't ever really thought about what your priorities in life are at this time, we suggest that you do it soon. This will help you stay true to you while having this exciting and complicated relationship.
- Remember what's most important to you and act accordingly. Now that you're clear about what your priorities are, remember them. Too often, people meet a partner and maybe even fall in love. They temporarily set aside or "forget" what their core values and boundaries are and then end up feeling resentful and regretful.
This doesn't have to happen to you!
Again, you can be flexible and stay open as you also remember what is most important to you and then make decisions that keep your priorities intact. This requires you to continue to value YOU while moving forward with this person you're with.
- Be open and upfront about what you want now. Here's the potentially tricky part... Be honest with your partner. You can communicate your priorities and intentions in ways that are non-judgmental and that are non-pressuring.
For example, if you and your date are having sex but aren't necessarily an exclusive couple, you two can talk about what this means to each of you. Does it mean that dating others is okay, but having sex with others is not? Does it mean that everything-- including sex, dating, flirting and more with others-- is okay?
A talk like this doesn't have to be a big deal and it certainly doesn't have to dampen the passion either. In fact, being open and upfront about what you want at this time can prevent misunderstandings and conflict and free you both up for MORE passion and enjoyment.
- Don't pretend. The temptation to pretend is there. Perhaps you feel like you're falling for this person and you don't want to mess things up or turn him or her off. So, maybe you agree to something you're not actually comfortable with.
Maybe you want to seem cool and not too serious and so, for instance, you say that you're fine not being monogamous when you are actually going to be angry and hurt if your partner does have sex with someone else.
The risk of being honest is that the person you're with might not want the same things that you want, but the risk of hiding what you truly want is almost always disappointment and heartbreak.
Communicate what is most important for you at this time and also what your boundaries are with confidence and a desire to hear what your partner wants. This will allow you two to really talk and possibly to connect in ways that you haven't before.

Karen Hunn - 10/08/2002
Have been teaching this one to my daytime improver class for several weeks now, and they absolutely love it. The dance fits extremely well to the music, which is an old favourite with the people in my class, and they have great fun with the tag putting in lost of attitude.
Jean Barlow - 28/07/2002
Brilliant!! Super music and great dance at easy intermediate level. Great fun to do especially if you do the half-turn at double time as suggested. We use the Billy Jo Spears version which is great and everyone sings along. (Make sure you use the script with the 8 count (very easy) tag. Can we have more of these great country tracks please.

Many thanks to dcarch and FOAS--I got my sous vide up and running last weekend, and it's great. Everything I cooked in it so far has come out tender and juicy. I'm using dcarch's info and FOAS's advice, and my only contribution is to point out current sources for the parts you need. If you're interested in making one, you can probably cobble together one for under $100 including an Igloo cooler. You may have some of this stuff around the house anyway, so your cost may be even less. You can buy a ready made sous vide setup for $400-$500, but if you want to make a contraption like this, it's really easy. The heart of the rig is a STC-1000 temperature controller. You can get them online for $15 to $20. For this application it functions basically as an 'open on rise' thermostat: when a temperature is reached, it cuts the power to the heater element. The heat is provided by a 500w aquarium heater element. These are available online for $30-40. (you want the kind without a thermostat; you'll be using the STC-1000 as a thermostat). Another item you might want is a small submersible dc high temp water pump; I got one online for $18. You'll need a cooler, but you probably have one around the house anyway; I got a Igloo Marine 25 qt cooler for about $19 at Walmart. You can get whatever size you think you might want, and the guts of the system are easily moved from one cooler to another if you need a bigger setup. You'll also need a few inexpensive items to wire it up: an electrical handy box ($2), an electrical outlet ($2), a faceplate, and some sort of enclosure. For a power cord, I used a polarized two-prong extension cord and cut off the socket end; I used a foot of that cord for hookup wire in the box. I also rigged up a little rack made of CPVC pipe to attach the pump. That way I'm not making any attachments to the inside of the cooler. The STC-1000 is often used by homebrewers to control the temperature of a refrigerator for precise fermentation. It can turn on either a heating element or a cooling element. You can download wiring diagrams for the STC-1000, and if you do just ignore the cooling circuitry--you're only going to be using this to control the heater. Here are the specific items I obtained: Aquarium Heater element without thermostat: Circulation pump--not absolutely necessary, but it'll ensure a stable temp throughout the cooler: This is one of several small submersible DC pumps available online. Make sure you get one that says 'high temperature--you can't just use an aquarium pump as they aren't made to operate at sous vide temperatures. Google 'submersible DC pump suitable for sous vide' and you'll get lots of hits. You might need a power supply for your pump. This one works well, and you can select your voltage to match your pump ( although you might have a suitable wall-wart transformer around the house). If you cut into the black cord, you'll find a black and a red wire so it's easy to match the polarity of your pump: This really is a fun project. If any of you have any questions, let me know. I guarantee if you like rare or medium rare steaks, you'll love how the stuff comes out of this cooker. Here's the inside of the cooler. The long silver thing at the bottom with the suction cups is the aquarium heater element, the black cylinder at the upper right is the pump, and the cord to the left is the temperature probe that goes back to the STC 1000. The rack is made of CPVC, and the weight of the pump is enough to keep it from floating. But if you make a bigger one, you might need to put sand or gravel in the pipes to keep it from floating. Finally, so that the food pouches don't touch the heater element directly, I bent an aluminum soffit vent (about $2) to shape to make a guard over the element. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Arley, very exciting! You have done a great job putting the system together. A few ideas: You can buy 120Vac fountain pumps cheap, around $10.00. This way you don't need a low voltage DC power supply. You may not need to pay for a high temperature fountain pump. I have my aquarium pump running as high as 182F without failing for over two years. typically you would be cooking below 160F. I use a hot water tank heating element for my heater, $12.00. The heating element is for 240V 2,000 watts. Runing it at 120V, it becomes 500 Watts. There is a lot of excitement in the cooking world. Recently there were several sous vide circulators came on the market for under $200.00. In addition to enjoying perfectly cooked food, you will be saving money because you can work with lower priced cuts of meat, as well as meat cooked sous vide has much less shrinkage. it's like having a 5% discount always on all meat purchases. dcarch |
Arley - be sure to post pictures of the results! The method has always intrigued me. I no longer cook enough meat or larger portions of anything so I have not attempted to build one myself. I always enjoy seeing Dcarch's accomplishments however. Teresa |

I thought the heading of this thread meant you could sous vide rocks, which I thought dcarch had probably already tried. Anyhoo, very useful information, but I, too, would like to know what you prepared. |
"---I thought the heading of this thread meant you could sous vide rocks, which I thought dcarch had probably already tried.---" LOL! Almost. I shared a 2" think prime rib with a friend tonight. The rib was frozen like rock. The rock hard beef was put into the sous vide cooker direct. No need for thawing. I asked my friend with a chart showing beef cooked to various degrees of done-ness, "What color would you like?" "This one" I set the control to 136F, and the meat came out identical to the one shown on the chart. Perfectly uniform. dcarch |

Oh my! How wonderful. I love that chart idea. I shared an office with a poet once. He had worked as a gopher for an interior designer. On his first day there, the ID produced a fandeck of paint colors, pointed to a taupe-camel color, and said, "Bring me a Starbucks this color!" He thought she was a jerk, but I thought it was a brilliant way to communicate how she wanted her coffee. How long did that steak take? |

You can also get an egg chart (see link) to have eggs cooked exactly the same way every time to specification, it does not matter how cold/hot/big/small the eggs are. The sous vide system can be set up to do anything which will require exact temperature control, such as making yogart, hatching eggs, pasteurize eggs (for ice cream raw eggs), pasteurize milk, proofing bread, starting seeds, ---------. The steak took me about 8 hours. I like to serve steaks as hot as possible without overcooking. The sous vide method does not require resting. This is how it works: Since you cannot overcook the meat, you can take the time to prepare every other sides, then when it's time to eat, you tell everyone to sit down and fire up the cast iron skillet. I normally get the skillet to about 520F with an IR thermometer. Sear the steak about one or two minutes each side, get the house to smell real good. Perfect timing. Served hot !!! dcarch |

Notice that cross section: it's medium rare from edge to edge. No way you can get that with conventional cooking. Also, since you're not heating the meat to the point where you get contraction of the muscle fibers, it's appreciably more tender than you would expect. And another advantage, as dcarch alluded to, is the timing of the cooking is not critical. Once it's done it won't get overdone because the temperature is fixed. You can get everything else done, and then sear the meat and serve. |
Here's a pic of some beef filet. It was frozen and fell behind something else in the freezer two years ago; fortunately it was wrapped fairly tightly so there wasn't any appreciable freezer burn. Unwrapped it, seasoned it, put it in a vacuum pouch, then put it, still frozen, in the sous vide cooker and left it alone for about 26 hours; took it out of the pouch, seared it in a skillet, and sliced it and served with some mushrooms. Easy peasy. |
Very nice! Actually, because you used the camera's flash so that color kind of pale. But looking at the other plate, I can see how perfect the beef came out. Yes, I love being able to go from freezer to cooker, no thawing and end up with perfect steak. And for comparison, typically beef filet done the regular way. dcarch |

How delightful to come across this thread by chance! I have just this week started experimenting with sous vide. I'm using Anova's $200 water heater/circulator, which you can stick in any stockpot or other handy container. My tri-tip could have been better, but the salmon and the chicken came out fantastically. |
Achauer, welcome to the Cooking Forum! There is so much excitement in the cooking world, with many affordable sous vide circulators on the market recently. In addition to Anova, there are Nomiku, Sansaire and PolyScience Creative, etc. They are around $200 buying direct from the manufacturer. Hope to see more of your sous vide creations here. dcarch |
- Posted by kitchendetective (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 8:27
I liked the looks of the Anova, but am I correct that it is 199.00 from manufacturer and 450 from Amazon? |
"------but am I correct that it is 199.00 from manufacturer and 450 from Amazon?" That's why I said buy direct from the maker. dcarch |

Wow! Talk about mark-up. |
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 18:17
The one on Amazon is a "used offer". By the comments, it sounds like Anova has had a significant price drop, possible the seller doesn't realize this. Funny story - a few weeks ago I was watching the Rachel Ray show (accidentally, to be sure) and she did a segment where they had given new gadgets and devices to regular folks for them to use for a bit and review. One was a sous vide system (nomiku) and the woman hesitantly said she wasn't very impressed. Well, it turns out she was putting hamburger patties in a bag, sous viding and then serving, just like that LOL. (They gave her a brief lesson and let her keep it a bit longer.) Anyway it's not surprising that these things are coming down in price a lot. Cheap technology, just a matter of putting it together into an appealing package and marketing it. Arley, I'm glad you finally got yours going and are excited about it! |

Greeks draw, laugh and paint on the brink of bankruptcy.
ATHENS, Greece — A Greek, a Portuguese and a Spaniard ask God when their countries' debts will be paid off. God says, "In 100 years for Portugal and in 150 years for Spain." Disappointed, they say: "But, we'll be dead by then." When the Greek asks, God replies, "I don't know — I'll be dead by then."
Gallows humor abounds in Greece these days, and Greeks openly say they have little to be optimistic about, now or in the future. With the recession in its third year, humor and art have become mechanisms to cope with high unemployment, poverty and the chaos that is Greek politics. Through cartoons, street art and jokes, Greeks laugh at the grim.
Street Art
Nikos Pilos/Courtesy
There's a line in a well-known Greek song: "The streets have their own history, someone wrote it on the wall with paint," and that's what seems to be happening in Athens these days. On the side of a building two blocks from the main square, a meticulously-painted pair of hands clasped in prayer descend from the sky. Underneath, drug addicts pass out after getting their daily fix.
"Street art is society's diary on public display," said Bleeps, a Greek activist who has been adding color to walls across the country (www.Bleeps.gr). On one of Athens' busy streets, Bleeps has painted "Greece's Next Economic Model" — which he proposes as a new symbol for Greece. It shows an alluring young woman wearing a bikini, striding confidently forward despite a wooden leg reminiscent of an old pirate. "It's a disability that looks chic in history's rotten catwalk," Bleeps said. "I borrowed the name from the reality show and transformed it into a political manifesto."
Through his work, Bleeps says he's trying to remind Greeks that they are not alone, since collectively they can get rid of the existing system. "I believe the average Greek, like the average person anywhere else in the world, is just trying to preserve their values," Bleeps said. "As one by one the values decline (politics, religion, family), it is a major blow to the broader existential question of human beings."
Far from the busy streets of Athens, on Santorini, one of the world's most visited islands, Bleeps has painted another woman. "In Farewell EU, we see the concept of the modern woman viewed from the classic cinematic image of farewell," Bleeps said.
"Do you remember how a piece of land was cut off in Emir Kusturica's movie, 'Underground?' Similarly, we're saying goodbye to the European Union, not because we're going to be kicked out, but because in order to stay we'll need to lose a part of ourselves."
PASOK + New Fear
The walls in central Athens are covered with drawings and cheeky slogans. In a popular one, a little boy pees over the sun, the symbol of PASOK, a major political party in Greece. Another wishes Greeks happy holidays, Greek-style: "Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear."

Digital humor
As with most social movements these days, the response to the crisis has included extensive use of social media. In particular, digitally altered photos have garnered buzz on Facebook and Twitter. "New technologies might allow expression to get disseminated more widely but the mechanisms used to generate laughter are the same — political satire and mockery," said Yannis Skarpelos, associate professor of

and again, "I will be {his father}Hebrews 1:5-14 LEB/NIV - Online Parallel Bible
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
New International Version (NIV)
5 For to which of the angels did he ever say, "You are my son, today I have begotten you,"
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father " ? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son" ?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "And let all [the] angels of God worship him."
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
7 And concerning the angels he says, "The one who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire,"
7 In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire."
8 but concerning the Son, "Your throne, O God, [is] {forever and ever}
8 But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this God, your God, has anointed you with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."
10 And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the works of your hands;
10 He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 they will perish, but you continue, and they will all become old like a garment,
11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 and like a robe you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but you are the same, and your years will not run out."
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end."
13 But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit down at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."
13 To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet" ?
14 Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Last week, I had a colleague in town who was staying on the strip near City Center. The Husband and I wanted to meet up with him for dinner and since he was interested in catching that night's NBA Finals game we decided to check out a Sports Book (my first time!) to place some mini bets and head over to a sports bar for dinner so we could catch some of the game while dined and chatted (with plans to head back to the Sports Book after dinner to catch the end of the game). The last time the Husband and I walked through City Center, I declared that I wanted to go to Todd English's P.U.B. some time. It wasn't that I knew who Todd English was because I didn't (shame on me, I know… I'm working on getting a better idea of who famous chefs are) or that I had any idea about the food, but something about the sign called me in (good job to whoever designed it!). After checking out some reviews, it looked like it would be a good fit for us that night.
We arrived right around 6:30 and there wasn't a wait at all. We were lucky, because as we left around 8:00 or so, there looked to be quite a wait
There was a nice patio outside (and the weather was pretty nice that night) but we wanted to be able to see the game so we chose to sit inside.
Inside was bright but LOUD. Another review suggested that the construction of the walls (tile I think) affects the accoustics and that sounds about right. We couldn't hear our waitress at first and the place wasn't even full yet!
We, of course, started with some drinks. They had both a huge beer list and wine list.
Continuing my Porter & Stout cravings, I decided to go with a twist of one and order their Chocolate Covered Strawberry. It was a mix of Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Fruli Strawberry Belgium Beer. I enjoyed the smell, and while it did taste like a chocolate covered strawberry, I apparently don't like that in a beer. Towards the end it was more chocolaty which I enjoyed. The Husband had a Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA. He enjoyed this selection.
After our drinks arrived, we placed our orders and began chatting. We were brought a bowl of popcorn to snack on while we waited.
It was then that we noticed our placemats, covered in quotes.
Our two favorites:
(No offense to vegetarians I actually have a mostly vegetarian diet and only eat meat from time to time.)
On to our appetizer! The Husband decided to order the Dirty Chips to share. They were kettle chips with bacon bits, scallions, blue cheese dressing, and fried chicken livers. You read that correctly – fried chicken livers. Yum! As I think I've mentioned a bunch, I can't stand blue cheese so the Husband mostly only gets to enjoy it while we're out (though we do have some at home that I brought him one night). I'm always trying to grow my palate though and slowly blue cheese is starting to find its place. I like a handful of the chips that I tried.
This was quite a large appetizer for the three of us and would work well with a larger crowd. About halfway through the dish, our entrees were ready. While the boys went with the Carvery (which I'll explain in a moment), my eye was caught by the Grilled Cheese. It was a grilled brie with tomatoes and bacon grilled like a panini along with a side of skinny fries. The brie was strong and if you like brie, you'll really like this.
a close-up…
On the sides menu, I saw mac n cheese It was a smaller dish, which is good for a side. Cavatappi again. Thumbs up!
The Husband decided to go with an option from The Carvery, their signature section of the menu. Under the Carvery, you get to order a half pound or a pound of meat. With each meat, you get one selection of bread and two selections of sauce. You then get to create your sandwich at the table. The Husband went with the Roasted Duck with Challah and Horseradish Sour Cream & Blue Cheese Fondue as his sauces. He really enjoyed this choice, although if ordered again, he'd probably have a different bread.
After all this food (though I did pack up some to take home), I should have been done. However, when the dessert menus were brought out, I insisted on dessert (rare for me!). When I asked if the strawberry ice cream had chunks of strawberries in it, the waitress told me it did. She lied It did, however, sit on top of Capt'n Crunch Cereal which was a fun surprise. I was surprised to see two scoops, which was a good value for the price, but if I'd known there were two scoops I would have asked for one scoop of chocolate. Oh well, perhaps next time!
Aside from the noise level of the restaurant, we enjoyed our meal and beers. Our waitress was attentive and the guys with the water pitchers never made us wait for water. While it was an expensive meal, we enjoyed our chance to check a restaurant off of my "to eat" list!

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
32 The statue's head was made of pure gold; its chest and arms were made from silver; its abdomen and hips were made of bronze. | 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, |
33 Its legs were of iron, and its feet were a mixture of iron and clay. | 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. |
34 You observed this until a stone was cut, but not by hands; and it smashed the statue's feet of iron and clay and shattered them. | 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. |
35 Then all the parts shattered simultaneously—iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. They became like chaff, left on summer threshing floors. The wind lifted them away until no trace of them remained. But the stone that smashed the statue became a mighty mountain, and it filled the entire earth. | 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. |
36 "This was the dream. Now we will tell the king its meaning: | 36 "This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. |
37 You, Your Majesty, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given kingship, power, might, and glory to you! | 37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; |
38 God has delivered into your care human beings, wild creatures, and birds in the sky—wherever they live—and has made you ruler of all of them. You are the gold head. | 38 in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold. |
39 But in your place, another kingdom will arise, one inferior to yours, and then a third, bronze kingdom will rule over all the earth. | 39 "After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. |
40 Then will come a fourth kingdom, mighty like iron. Just as iron shatters and crushes everything; so like an iron that smashes, it will shatter and crush all these others. | 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron--for iron breaks and smashes everything--and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. |
41 As for the feet and toes that you saw, which were a mixture of potter's clay and iron, that signifies a divided kingdom; but it will possess some of the unyielding strength of iron. Even so, you saw the iron mixed with earthy clay | 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. |
42 so that the toes were made from a mixture of iron and clay. Part of the kingdom will be mighty, but part of it will be fragile. | 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. |
43 Just as you saw the iron mixed with earthy clay, they will join together by intermarrying, but they will not bond to each other, just as iron does not fuse with clay. | 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay. |

Hello I am writing this on behalf of Hans and Lori Lee the owners of Cafe Romantica. In December Hans and Lori Lee experienced some bad luck and had to close Cafe Romantica for a while. They are working very hard to reopen it as soon as possible. You can find their Yummy struddel at one of the little open... More
I tried to go to Cafe Romantica two weeks ago, with no idea that they'd had a fire and are on a temporary hiatus. Regardless, she gave me the most incredible tasting lentil dal I've ever tasted. So - might be six months before they reopen, but definitely give it a try!
I still think about the delicious food that we had at this Cafe last year. I hear that they are not longer in business and am so sad to hear.
One of the most amazing places we've eaten anywhere in the world! We still dream about the samosas! We're not vegan/vegetarian but that doesn't matter, this food is awesome and for everyone.
These guys really did turn out some excellent vegetarian fare. Too bad they are no longer in business.
Our trip to Hana, Maui was almost 1 year ago and I still dream of their dessert... We visited this gem soon after arriving in Hana, and Lori Lee was just closing up shop, but once she saw my pregnant wife waddling towards her, she immediately offered us some food (much appreciated)! We loved the chili rellenos, soup of the... More
This is absouletly the best place to go for Vegans and delightful. Anything you order is delicious and fun to take back to your room and watch the sunset.
All I can say is that Hans and Lori Lee are great Culinary Poets. Their food and warm presence is just what you would expect on Maui.
People who complain about the price obviously don't understand the meaning of VALUE. All the food is fresh, mostly organic and most importantly its amazingly tasty. The 2 owners are a married couple who could not be any nicer than they are. We stayed in Kihei before heading up to Hana. I'm from Montreal (home to many great restaurants) and... More

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It happened after this, that David inquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? Yahweh said to him, Go up. David said, Where shall I go up? He said, To Hebron. | 1 In the course of time, David inquired of the LORD. "Shall I go up to one of the towns of Judah?" he asked. The LORD said, "Go up." David asked, "Where shall I go?" "To Hebron," the LORD answered. |
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. | 2 So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the widow of Nabal of Carmel. |
3 His men who were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they lived in the cities of Hebron. | 3 David also took the men who were with him, each with his family, and they settled in Hebron and its towns. |
4 The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were those who buried Saul. | 4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that it was the men of Jabesh Gilead who had buried Saul, |
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, Blessed be you of Yahweh, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him. | 5 he sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead to say to them, "The LORD bless you for showing this kindness to Saul your master by burying him. |
6 Now Yahweh show lovingkindness and truth to you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because you have done this thing. | 6 May the LORD now show you kindness and faithfulness, and I too will show you the same favor because you have done this. |
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be you valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them. | 7 Now then, be strong and brave, for Saul your master is dead, and the house of Judah has anointed me king over them." |
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim; | 8 Meanwhile, Abner son of Ner, the commander of Saul's army, had taken Ish-Bosheth son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim. |
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel. | 9 He made him king over Gilead, Ashuri and Jezreel, and also over Ephraim, Benjamin and all Israel. |
10 Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. | 10 Ish-Bosheth son of Saul was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he reigned two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David. |
11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. | 11 The length of time David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. |
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. | 12 Abner son of Ner, together with the men of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, left Mahanaim and went to Gibeon. |
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. | 13 Joab son of Zeruiah and David's men went out and met them at the pool of Gibeon. One group sat down on one side of the pool and one group on the other side. |
14 Abner said to Joab, Please let the young men arise and play before us. Joab said, Let them arise. | 14 Then Abner said to Joab, "Let's have some of the young men get up and fight hand to hand in front of us." "All right, let them do it," Joab said. |
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. | 15 So they stood up and were counted off--twelve men for Benjamin and Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David. |
16 They caught everyone his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. | 16 Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim. |
17 The battle was very severe that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. | 17 The battle that day was very fierce, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by David's men. |
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe. | 18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai and Asahel. Now Asahel was as fleet-footed as a wild gazelle. |
19 Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he didn't turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner. | 19 He chased Abner, turning neither to the right nor to the left as he pursued him. |
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it you, Asahel? He answered, It is I. | 20 Abner looked behind him and asked, "Is that you, Asahel?" "It is," he answered. |
21 Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. | 21 Then Abner said to him, "Turn aside to the right or to the left; take on one of the young men and strip him of his weapons." But Asahel would not stop chasing him. |
22 Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I strike you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother? | 22 Again Abner warned Asahel, "Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down? How could I look your brother Joab in the face?" |
23 However he refused to turn aside: therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. | 23 But Asahel refused to give up the pursuit; so Abner thrust the butt of his spear into Asahel's stomach, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And every man stopped when he came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died. |
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. | 24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, and as the sun was setting, they came to the hill of Ammah, near Giah on the way to the wasteland of Gibeon. |
25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill. | 25 Then the men of Benjamin rallied behind Abner. They formed themselves into a group and took their stand on top of a hill. |
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Don't you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brothers?" | 26 Abner called out to Joab, "Must the sword devour forever? Don't you realize that this will end in bitterness? How long before you order your men to stop pursuing their brothers?" |
27 Joab said, As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed everyone his brother. | 27 Joab answered, "As surely as God lives, if you had not spoken, the men would have continued the pursuit of their brothers until morning. " |
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. | 28 So Joab blew the trumpet, and all the men came to a halt; they no longer pursued Israel, nor did they fight anymore. |

==Message Received Notification Dialog Enhancement == | ==Message Received Notification Dialog Enhancement == |
Revision as of 04:55, 13 February 2012
Message Received Notification Dialog Enhancement
The main idea behind creating article is to present a more enhanced design & functionality model of SMS. Now a days smart phone is getting lots of improvement by adding widget, touch screen, express music & with large memory storage. But I think Manufacturer should also think for improvement in one of most useful feature SMS. I have not observed much changes in messaging application.
Currently there are many ways available by which user communicate on a mobile device one of them is SMS. Use of SMS for personal communication is rapidly increase now a days and it becomes more popular. Lots of people sends sms to each other. Rather than useful messages most of peoples are forwarding jokes, tips in sms each other. SMS are managed in Inbox, Sent, Outbox and Draft.
Following design will impress the users who frequently use messaging services. This will also make improvement in phone functionality.
The Normal message dialog when we receive a message look like
It's showing only "1 new message" text. I think it will be more usable if dialog shows more details about message. Today most of people forward jokes, some quotes as a SMS rather than actual important message. If user are in meeting or in some busy work and user receive a message, most of the time he opens message and finds a forwarded text message. So it will be good feature if the message received dialog shows some more information like Sender name & some character of message text by
which user know whether message is important to read at this time or not. Following can be the design of message received
We can see the above message received dialog shows summary of message.
Some user may not like the above details message dialog, as it allow other near by person to read their personal message. So the best use of above feature is allow user to select the Option whether to show "Detailed message receive dialog" or "normal 1 message receive dialog". Device Manufacturer should put an option in message setting screen. From where user can set which message received dialog to display on receive of sms. Following can be the design of message setting.
The above designs show Setting -> other -> Message notification. There are 2 options in message notification 1. Advanced 2. Normal. User can set "Advanced" to view notification with message summary dialog or "Normal" to view the default notification dialog("1 new message").
The facility to delete a message directly by pressing the delete ("C") key should be given when focus is on message received dialog. Most of the time by detailed message notification dialog User will be able to decide whether message should be kept in Inbox or should be deleted without reading it. This feature will be very user friendly as it will decrease the step like open Inbox -> select message -> delete command as all this can be done by only pressing "C" button of phone.
Enhancement in Message's Inbox view
Usually to read a message user open inbox, select a message and then click on message to view message & then he press back button and come back in inbox. Why to follow this 4 steps when user can read this all in one step or by one click. Most of the times user opens a message and find it is useless and delete it.
The current design to view message is as follow
The enhanced or improved design can be
Explaination of above design
The above design allows user to view message by only selecting a message. Whenever user select any message, after a some time interval the message text should be displayed in a pop up dialog. The above improved design looks more user friendly. As user press down arrow next message will be selected. By above improved design it will possible for user to read some lines of message by just selecting it, through which user will come to know whether message is useful or not. User will be delete the message without opening it.
When User Select any message following steps will be followed
- Message will get focus.
- It will wait for sometime (say 1 second or less).
- Phone will automatically open a dialog in center of screen which show message text.
- As user press down arrow it will set focus on next message.
- Again step 1 will be followed.
Again definitely there will be some user who won't like this feature, or they will like to stick on the older Inbox version. Manufacturer should provide the option to set whether to use advance message view or normal message view. The setting design will be as follow:
Setting menu |
Setting->Text message |
Inbox view setting |
Inbox view options |
The above design shows Messaging ->Settings -> Text message -> Inbox view. There user will be able to see 2 options 1. Advance view 2. Normal view. By selecting advanced view user will be able to see advance version of Inbox.
In Advance inbox view also there will be an option to open a message in new window, as it is in normal view. As some user like to use advance view but also like to read full message in new window.
I think above both feature will be very good improvement in Messaging area. As new smart phones are providing lots of functionality, but manufacturer should have to focus on basic functionality (SMS) of phone.

Hi Guys;
My name is Tom from Massachusetts. (dont hold that against me)... Anyways, pretty mechanical hear, sort of a shade tree mechanic. I keep my vehicles a while, and next purchase is going to be a Double cab long bed, 4x4 v6. This is a second vehicle replacing a 01 Dodge dakota DC 4x4, 220k miles.
Wanted to come over to Toyota as 2gen was not available when I bought the dak.
What should I look for, any special package options? I see there are about 5 packages. I would be interested in all except the highest, I dont need all the tech. I will occasionally tow, like a sport stiff ride, and might go for the roof racks, (not sure)
Dont know what people are paying, I am assuming in the 30-35k range?
Anyways, I'll be checking out a lot of threads here, appreciate any advice, as I learned a ton from Dakota forums in the past.
Sorry for the wordiness, Happy miles to all.

So I purchased this piece of art on the weekend and now it is my color inspiration for my kitchen and dining area new paint. I love the picture and the warmth it will bring to the room.
My dining room and kitchen flow with each but at the same time are 2 semi-defined spaces. I would like the dining area (see pics) to be an orange, rusty, coppery feel but a couple years ago I painted my bedroom orange and I picked the WRONG ORANGE and it totally looked like a bad Halloween day , really bad, so I am sooooo paranoid to pick a color - pay the money, do the work and have it go bad again. I have been looking at these paint swatches for days so I thought I would reach out to all of you for your suggestions. Do you know of a really nice orange I could use? I was thinking along the swatch of BM - Pilgramage Foliage, DM Rust, or BM Aztec Brick...something like those. I looked at BM Buttered Yam thought maybe it was too light? Audobon Russet to me just looked browny red - even though online ppl talk of it as an orange? I just looking for something copper/rusty - rather then tangerine orangey. For the kitchen area I am thinking of Decature Buff - BM or Dark Beige BM - but I am open to hearing any other suggestions from you. Thanks for your thoughts!!! I will post after pictures.
I have access to BM, BEHR and CIL paints. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry I'm not familiar with your specific colors (& I only have a SW fandeck) but I want to encourage you to go with your desire for a copper color for your kitchen. I think it would look wonderful. Also, selfishly, I want to see the after photos...I'm on the fence about using orange in our house. ;-) I want to try it, but haven't yet found the right one. |
Looks to me like several of those paint chip colors could work. Do you not like any of them? |

colorblind, that's very nice! Just wanted to remind haley_comet to look at the oranges thread over in the gallery. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Gallery link to orange photos
- Posted by readerlearner (My Page) on Thu, Aug 27, 09 at 12:20
Really nice painting, can you please tell me about it? I wondered what color you decided to paint. So you have decided to paint the two room different colors? Why? That BM - Pilgramage Foliage is pretty. But I think if it were me I would take the painting to a good paint store and have them help you match a color in the painting. I did find a post in the kitchen forum by reedrune that painted his/her kitchen in BM Buttered Yam. It doesn't look to light on her walls. Sorry I don't know how to do a link. |
- Posted by readerlearner (My Page) on Thu, Aug 27, 09 at 12:27
colorblind1961, you don't look color blind VERY NICE. I like all the colors I can see, will you show more on another thread please? |
Buttered Yam looked beautiful in a pic I saw in the Gallery. I just looked up the LRV and it's 24. That makes it plenty deep. |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Thu, Aug 27, 09 at 12:40
AWM - I do actually like a few of them - but I liked the last orange swatch I painted with LOL and that turned out soooo bad! lol I don't trust my 'orange picking abilities' anymore! Colorblind - very nice colors! Thanks for the pictures really beautiful. Readerlearner - Oddly I can't tell you much about the painting. I was driving my daughter to a party on the weekend and someone had it for sale at thier garage sale and I just had to stop! I bought it for $3.00! What a surprize find. Yes I did decide on the two colors for the two spaces this time just to add some variation. Plus beside my kitchen is my mudroom which I will pull the kitchen paint into so doing 2 colors won't make the area seem too over drawn with one color. |
You certainly picked out a beauty of a painting, haley. I'll bet your eye for orange is better than you think :) |
We did BM Pilgrim Foliage in our dining room and then did a BM match of Glidden's Boujour Beige for our foyer and kitchen. Our home is very open so it blends well. Still working on the my renovation so no pictures as of yet. |
- Posted by readerlearner (My Page) on Thu, Aug 27, 09 at 14:10
Boy am I jeolous, $3.00, hey if it doesn't work in the scheme of things, I will take it off of your hands! Well that makes sence with two colors then, I didn't know there was a mud room and could see very little wall for the kitchen, and thought why have to buy and decide on two paint colors. I wish someone with photoshop experience would come and help you. |
I could see a rusty color pulled from the picture in the kitchen/mud room then go with more of a warm beige or gold in the dining room, pulling a color from the painting again. Then you can bring the rust accents into the dining room with the painting, place mats, centerpiece, etc. I think the darker color in the kitchen would be a great contrast with your cabinets. It's hard to see what your floor is though. I love that painting, those are my favorite family of colors. Beautiful :-) |

Parma - can you tell me how you found the LRV of Buttered Yam. I would like to look up some other colors too. Thanks AWM - thanks so much!! San37 - Oh boy wish you had pictures! Over all you are happy with Pilgram Foliage and it is a nice orangy color? Readerlearner - hehe thanks. Mimi - I also thought that at first - to flip the colors but the orange I am thinking about is pretty 'in your face' kinda color and the mud room entrance is used alot by our guests and just wanted a more subtle entry color. So would you all see Decatur Buff as a 'warm color'? The chip is a little hard to gage? Looking for a mid toned warm golden tan/coffee type color..not too light...not too dark. Decatur in photos on web is really nice...but trying to gage color IRL. |
"Parma - can you tell me how you found the LRV of Buttered Yam. I would like to look up some other colors too. Thanks " Just Google the name of a paint color, in quotes (it's easier), and LRV. "Buttered Yam" LRV |
oooh, what a beautiful painting! I love the idea of the orange, but I would be concerned that your painting would lose its impact on an orange wall, especially since your furniture is also in the orange range. Would you consider doing the Decatur Buff/Dark Beige in the dining room and then using the orange paint in the kitchen? This would really bring the two spaces together but also let your painting shine and set the mood for the dining room. Just a thought! |
Do you know of a really nice orange I could use? Ralph Lauren Tapestry NA25 |
It looks like your kitchen curtains match the painting perfectly and the rooms will flow nicely! |
I will take pictures this weekend and post -- that is, if you will excuse the mess -- to show you the contrast. It is not real orangy -- it is deeper and definitely not a Halloween orange more of a "mature" orange. (LOL) I'm pleased with it. |
I agree with mom2reese about the painting losing its impact on an orange wall. I'd use something more subdued. I have BM Sea Urchin in a room that has orange accents in the fabric. I don't know how the name relates to the color; it went on the wall too orange (and I nearly had a heart attack) but dried to a bit browner/sandy color. |
I was going to reply exactly as mom2reese did. I would put one of the beige/gold colors from the painting on the walls in the dining room to make your gorgeous painting really pop and stand out. And then a rust or orange in the kitchen tying it all together. I think you will lose a lot of the drama of the painting if you put the more vivid paint in the dining room. It will fade right into the wall rather than stand out. |

I have BM buttered yam in my dining room and LOVE it. It is certainly not too light. Very yummy color. I'll try to hunt down a photo for you -- |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Fri, Aug 28, 09 at 11:20
San37 - thanks I would love to see a picture! Does this color sometimes seem on the reddish side to you? Or when it is on there is no doubt it is orange. Circus Peant - to you also thank you I would like to see a photo, perhaps I am miss judging the color. Orginally I thought of doing the orange in the kitchen but then decided to pull the mudroom into the mix and paint it too. Below is a picture of the mudroom you can see it is pretty narrow and does not get alot of light. For some reason my guests like to enter by this door and I thought maybe the orange would be too much of a smack in your face kinda color for them to walk into? It is true what you all are saying...I will lose the painting on the orange wall...omg so confused! Thanks everyone for your posts thus far! |
How about: BM "Earthly Russet" -- rich brown/orange that is the color of baked pumpkin pie (BM 2173-10) And: SW "Spicy Hue" #6342 Jan at Rosemary Cottage |
What Teacats say's. I am going to paint one 12' wall with SW Copper Mountain. And rest of sunny walls SW Lemon Grass. If you go to Sherwin Williams site..they have Rooms and samples that you can click and drag. What a fantastic resource that is. I can spend hours painting and repainting my walls there. Good Luck |
Haley_c, what's the lighting like in your DR? Do you have a large window in there? I was thinking a warm brown would look lovely as a foil for your painting and your furniture. Could look nice with morning or afternoon sunlight and romantic at night. Here's a crude mock-up using a rusty color. Hope this helps. |
Here's a brown. It lets the painting and the furniture do the orange glow thing. I like it! Maybe needs a tad warmer brown. |
JUST a stray thought that flitted through my brain .... How about painting your kitchen island in the dark rich brown ..... and the dining room in the orange? Or perhaps .... the other way around?? The island painted in the dark orange? And the dining room in the rich brown?? Jan at rosemary Cottage |
This is Valspar Medallion Burnt Umber, the tan is City BLock. I love the Burnt Umber!! It looks more muted IRL a rusty clay orange. |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Fri, Aug 28, 09 at 14:55
Thanks Everyone! Jan/Teacats - thank you I am going to check my swatches for the Earthly Russet color you mentioned. AWM - THANKS! That is so cool to see it visually. Thanks for taking the time to do that for me. Wow you threw me for a loop with that brown....it is BEAUTIFUL! The art and the lighting really pop. Nodakgal - thanks for the pic - beautiful color. |
Hi haley_c, glad you like the brown too. Link below to a larger picture so you can get a better idea of how the colors work together. |
Here is a link that might be useful: bigger brown picture
Ooo, I just painted my fireplace wall in my den the most wonderful shade of brown. It's called SW Toasty. It's a little lighter than the brown above and would look stunning with your artwork. If I can find my camera I'll take a pic for you. |
I looked around for examples of SW Toasty, and boy, is it ever a beautiful brown: So is SW Coconut Husk: Hmmm...now what can I paint brown in my home? (Hope haley doesn't mind the brown discussion!) |
I'm in FL and brown is so out of it! I'm into golds, aquas, and other colors that lift the sole. Out of step, but happy about it! Why paint brown and gray when the outdoor colors tend to decrease light and provide gloom? Don't understand it! |
Maybe because colors that look great in FL look so out of it in other parts of the country? I moved from NOLA to Connecticut years ago. What worked in strong, bright subtropical light there didn't cut it here with our forested shady summers and cool lighting. I then understood the "colonial" palette you see in historical paints: the strong, muted colors work really well here (but look lousy in NOLA & probably in FL too). They look good in autumn, provide cheer in winter, and are cool & colorful in summer. Browns can be shady & cool in summer, yet look cozy & warm in cold weather months. Not gloomy at all. |

- Posted by repaintingagain (My Page) on Sat, Aug 29, 09 at 22:57
And here are some pictures of Gingersnap, which is a color that is slightly less dramatic than C2 Cognac. However, the Gingersnap looks much more "maroon" in these pictures than it actually did when we lived with it. Also, (back to the C2 Cognac), the thing that I really liked about the Cognac is that it looked like a spice on the wall - a little brown, a little orange. I think it does hit the nail with the rusty, coppery color you are looking for. I received many comments about the depth and beauty of this color. It just didn't work in my space. I did have SW make a match of the C2 Cognac because we moved into an area where there are no C2 paint dealers. If you would like, I can dig out the code and you could have Sherwin Williams make this up in the $5 try it on the walls container. That way you can see it in real life and not have spent too much money or time painting and then decide. Also, another way to go, would be to order a large paper swatch of C2 cognac (they are very nice and large) and have it mailed to your home. Then you can go to your local SW and have them make a match (or use my code). I highly suggest this orange, only because a decorator told me about the color and it truly is a fantastic color and I think it is what you are looking for. Okay, I think I might be sounding pushy about this color (sorry if I am), so here are the gingersnap pictures and I'll stop about the Cognac! :-) |
I definitely see Decatur Buff as a warm color and I think it would look great in your kitchen. Laurie |

Oh ya SW Toasty is such a nice warm brown! I love browns...I am not a fan of greys in my home but have seen it in others that has been nice. I am just drawn to the warmer colors which I see browns falling into. Repaintingagain - (great name!) thanks for the pictures that is a nice orange Cognac. I don't believe I have access to C2 paints as I dont' think I have heard of it before. Not sure if it is sold in my area (I am in Canada)but I am going to double check. I really do like the color very much - like you said it has a little bit of everything. AWM - thanks for posting the pictures...they are so nice. I think I maybe getting vetoed on the brown from the family for the kitchen but I think I may have another room in mind for it.. ;) |
" I think I maybe getting vetoed on the brown from the family ..." I hear ya. Our foyer is the perfect place for brown: loads of light, lots of white trim, light colored floor. But DH makes a gagging sound whenever he sees the brown paint samples on the wall there. |

Gosh...maybe it's me but I'm not loving the orange.... I think the color you have (or maybe a more gold green) looks great in both rooms. I would leave the green and hang the painting as a nice contrast. To tie it in, I'd get a taller and more striking valance in the kitchen keeping those orange/gold colors...then I'd get orange/brown/green placements and a gold centerpiece... Just my 2 cents.... Painting the rest of the room orange will take away from the painting instead of making it pop... |
Count me among those who think that orange will overpower your picture. Also, keep in mind that orange is used in fast food restaurants to stimulate appetite and get people outta there fast. I prefer more subtle colors in a dining room because I like to linger and chat. Entryways and mudrooms are great places for strong colors because one doesn't spend a lot of time there. I don't have any suggestions in the paint brands you listed, but I really liked the mudroom someone did awhile back in Ellen Kennon's Pumpkin Spice. I can't find the thread for some reason, but one of the pictures is on Ellen Kennon's web site. It might be something you could use for inspiration. |

Well my painting is complete. Thanks to those who gave me some insight on colors I really appreciate it. As promised here are my final pictures - I am not 100% complete with the picture placements, curtains ect but thought I would share anyways. Colors Colors photo a little more vibrant then IRL. Again thanks for answering my plea for color help! |
Oh haley! That is a BEAUTIFUL color! I love it! My goodness that is pretty... |
The kitchen too :) |
Coming back for a second look -- it's sooo pretty. Did you carry the Ginger Root into the mudroom? And did you do your own painting? If so, you did a great job. |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 21:08
Thanks AWM!!!! I am so glad you like it. Yes I did carry the Ginger Root into the mudroom. It is a little darker in the room than I thought but at the same time it is a really warm feeling when you walk in. Ginger Root has a real 'Tuscan' feel which I do love. Before After Thanks yes I did do the painting myself- I actually really enjoy painting but I was sure achey when I finished this job. |
I just can't get over how beautiful your rooms came out. I like the Ginger Root better than the color I chose for my foyer to go with my pumpkin living room. The can of paint is still sitting in the basement as I was planning on painting the foyer this week. Wonder if I should return it... |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 21:35
AWM - what's the name of the paint color you chose for your foyer? |
It's Farrow & Ball Olive. I lost sleep last night for pondering over "Ginger Root or Olive? Olive or Ginger Root?" I've been trying to decide on a color scheme since January, thought I'd settled on one, and now you come along with your darn Ginger Root - LOL! |
Your rooms turned out beautiful! You did a great job:)A little late now but I painted our foyer and laundry room SW 6347 Chrysanthemum satin finish. |
Wow you paint fast! I didn't even recognize it as the same house at first! I thought someone was posting more color suggestions. Looks great and I love the picture! |
Love, love, love the colors you settled on. Absolutely beautiful, rich colors! For anyone else considering orangey colors, HB this month features 2 pages of designers favorite oranges. Thought of this post when I saw it. |
- Posted by haley_comet (My Page) on Thu, Sep 17, 09 at 19:59
Thanks everyone for your kind posts. So far I like it too...I am still trying to get use to the orange since it is a little different then I 'visioned' in my mind which is my own fault for not buying paint testers and just using the swatch. It does make me feel good to hear you all like it. Kmcg - Thanks! I would have loved to see that HB feature....it would have helped but I will still check it out as I am curious now what they say. Thanks Cam14 and ttodd for your posts! AWM - I have had many of those crazy nights of thinking about paint...my husband thinks I am nuts! LOL I am sure you will love your paint! |

Hi Haley Comet, I absolutely love the green paint in you kitchen (before painting), By the way, I love the fall colors you painted as well...just beautiful. Can you tell me the name of the green paint that was in your kitchen? It is the exact shade I have been looking for to paint my kitchen. Thanks for any help with this. |
Maybe this link can help to House Beautiful magazine's website: 12 Best Shades of Orange http://www.housebeautiful.com/decorating/colors/orange-paint I'm scared of dark colors too because repainting is such a pain. I think I read somewhere recently that when chosing dark colors pick one you like on the color card and then move to the next lighter color on the card and test that one. I think that might be good advice. Don't know for sure. Has anyone else ever read that? |
Yeah, I can splain' it if you want me to. Won't be short tho. |
funcolors, please give us a paint lesson. |

Hi All Cosgrovepj the green color in my kitchen (post paint) is called Cactus Park by CIL - very nice green. I received a ton of compliments on it from guests. Hope you have CIL in your area. Kimmie I totally area about picking your color then going one shade lighter - I have read this also. I find in my experience I almost always prefer the wet paint color to the darker dried color which to me proves I should be going one shade lighter then my swatch color choice. I REALLY REALLY hate to type this and my husband REALLY REALLY hated hearing this the other day but I think the orange it too orange for me and I may repaint! LOL. I love the color so much it really is a beautiful orange but after awhile it is a little 'much'. Mind you my husband loves it so much (or maybe he is saying that to stop more painting! LOL). This is my third attempt to find a nice orange I love and my third failure...I think I will just become a neutral color girl... I see oranges I adore in other ppls homes but I never get it right in my home. C'est La Vie...I guess. |
On my monitor the orange looks beautiful! I hope you think it over a while longer and decide to keep it. |
Darn -- and you've worked so hard to find the right color, haley_c, sorry this one didn't work out either. Hope you find true love in the near future! |
roseabbey, The 'one up' thing doesn't always apply to the way paint works present day -- because paint color strips are not all created equal. Back in the day, there was a lot more consistency and 'one up' kinda sorta could really mean something. Now-a-days if you go one shade lighter, it's a real possibility that it's not the same color that you initially chose. A lighter color, yes, but very characteristically different than the darker color on the strip. Not all paint color strips are the same - these days they're arranged in all sorts of ways. Sometimes, 'one up' is a viable option because the strip really is a progression of color arranged lighter to darker. Oftentimes, that's not the case. The strip is comprised of anywhere from five to seven colors that can be very similar, but are essentially different colors. The way to manage and determine what is too dark, too light or just right is primarily by using LRV. Light Reflectance Value. The number is a consistent piece of data that tells you a lot about how light or how dark a color can look/feel. LRV is especially useful if you have paid attention to it over time and have benchmarks for you, your house that you can refer to when choosing what colors to sample. |

Hi Haley Comet, Thnks for the quick response in regards to the green paint....I just love it!!!! I have never heard of CIL. Is this just sold in Canada? Is Glidden paint the same as CIL? Does anyone know how I can get CIL paint? Thanks, Paula |

Hi Paula - perhaps it is just in Canada, one of the main stores that sells it is Home Depot. Perhaps they can help you find the formula? Wouldn't hurt to try? Good luck, that has happened to me loving a BM color to find it is from there US line and not Canada (like why would there be any difference? LOL) |
funcolors, thanks for the lesson. Now that I think about it, the color strip I had had colors that went well together but werent the same color. |

Hi Haley Comet, Okay, I just made many phonecalls (even to a store in Moncton,New Brunswick). They have no record of cactus park. Do you by chance still have the old paintcan? I just love that green and was wondering if you can send me the formula or if there is a number on the can that the store can then look up in the old paint catalogs. I'd be so appreciative with any help as I can't tell you how long I have been looking for the perfect green. Thanks, Paula |

Mikasa Ackerman: One Woman Army
Mikasa can take on all those titans without all y'all.
Obviously another parody of this wartime propaganda poster.
I've always wanted to do one.
Available as a poster on my storenvy HERE
A tribute to Episode 7 of the "attack on titan" anime when everyone was losing their shit and Mikasa's just like STOP IT. You don't even need to do anything, I'll take care of it you babies.
Will probably be available as a poster for Fanime 2014 and Anime Expo!

Creating patterns for me is like playing a mental puzzle – like building Lego or playing Tetris. The rhythm of every pattern depends of how it is going to be used and the purpose of it.
When I design something for wallpaper I need to make sure that the repeat will look even and smooth on a 8ft wall.
When it's for a fabric, the scale isn't much of a deal, but the colours might be – so I stay away from combining similar tones. If you put pink next to orange, or sky blue and baby blue next to each other, they will probably appear as the same shade once printed on a fabric.
