Call of Duty: Black Ops is in fact a first-person shooter with stealth and tactical play aspect that puts players in the role of a shadow soldier fighting in a number of historically representative fictional Black Ops missions of the Cold War era. Made up of the input of actual Black Ops soldiers from the full time, the overall game mixes conventional Call of Duty tactical shooter gameplay with new gameplay options made to expand the players�� experience. Additional features include extensive multiplayer options, alongside new vehicles and explosive new weapons.The online multiplayer mode of Black Ops usually revolves around two teams on a specific mission. For example in Team Deathmatch the team with the most kills wins, while in Capture the Flag, players take the other team's flags and return it to their own base. Additionally, there is Free For All in which players aren't separated into teams. Not including Downloadable maps, there are 14 different maps.Black Ops retains the experience points and unlockable reward system that has been kept since Call of Duty 4. The game's multiplayer focuses on socialization and customization. "Create-a-Class 2.0" allows enhanced personalization with appearance items as well as upgradable perks; weapons are extensively customizable with writing, emblems, attachments and camouflage painting. Even reticles can be modified. There are more than one style for an attachment, which allows for a lot more personalized weaponry; for example, the player can choose between a red dot sight or a reflex sight, both of which share many of the same traits, although the red dot fills up less of the screen (something desired by many players). Character models depend on the first tier perk instead of the weapon's type. Furthermore, face paints can be unlocked. New custom killstreak rewards include explosive R/C cars, guided missiles and controllable attack helicopters.
Key Game FeaturesSeventh installment of the phone call of Duty series, in line with the live fire conflicts of the Cold War era.Diverse number of play setting which range from urban air and ground combat in SE Asia, to snow combat in Soviet region and jungle combat.Blending of conventional COD, and new first-person character scenarios made to both wthhold the essence of the COD gaming experience and ensure constantly flowing and varied action.New arsenal of weapons and vehicles associated with the Cold War era, such as the SR-71 Blackbird and sited explosive-tipped crossbows.Variety of play modes including single player, local multiplayer versus and on line co-op and multiplayer.
3-D Game FeaturesFully playable in stereoscopic 3D: the overall game will undoubtedly be suitable for 3D-ready HDTVs and 3D PCs utilizing state-of-the-art active shutter 3D glasses, delivering true depth of field and an unprecedented degree of immersion that��s perfectly suited to the phone call of Duty action experience.Awesome 3D experiences: aim down the sights of one��s weapons, fly in helicopters, rappel down mountains, undertake highly step by step surroundings and much more.The knowledge is seamless to make use of with an easy menu choice to enable stereoscopic 3D or disable it anytime whether playing in the single player campaign, multiplayer or Zombie mode.Playable in both 3D and non-3D on the Xbox 360 console, Ps3 and PC.

Definitely not the best of FPS games frankly.
Before I start this review, I wish to make a few points clear: I have been playing & collecting every FPS (PC) game worth its salt in the market since 1998!. Stared then with Wolf 3D & Quake. I have put 107 FPS game titles into my library till date. Read, reviewed, debated and discussed many games too. Point: I know a bit of what I'm talking about.Abhijit Routh

Nevaeh Medical Spa's medical director, Sandy Peters, is a board-certified nurse practitioner with a masters degree in acute care, a credential she's put to use as a nurse in the United States Army. Sandy spent 14 months overseas, tending to soldiers during the current war effort. Upon her return, she took something she realized in the military?that there's a connection between healthcare and self-esteem?and turned it into a practice. Namely, her thriving med spa.
At the spa, Sandy and her team ply patients with a variety of confidence-boosting treatments. Velashape sessions, for instance, slim circumferences with non-invasive radio-frequency waves and beams of infrared light. Botox and other beauty injections, on the other hand, smooth wrinkles and fine lines. The team also offers laser hair removal, skin tightening, and host of skincare products from brands such as Obagi.
When the aestheticians at Rejuvenate Medical Spa recommend a product or service, they're speaking from experience. As part of the spa's commitment to delivering the industry's best anti-aging treatments, the aestheticians put the products through a thorough vetting process, trying them on themselves.
Based on the encouraging results of their own trials, the beauty experts integrate anti-aging SkinMedica products into facials and finish treatments with a dash of jane iredale mineral makeup. To plump up wrinkles, they inject dermal fillers or infuse skin with laser light. The team also tends to the intrinsic sources of beauty, providing soothing body treatments that revitalize the mind and spirit.
Several years after graduating from Emory University's School of Medicine, Dr. Justin Johnson returned home and opened Utah Eye & Facial Plastic Surgery. There, he and his staff specialize in surgical and nonsurgical procedures for the face, such as eyebrow lifts and chemical peels. Moreover, they can help throw Father Time's hound dog off your scent with Juvederm, Restylane, and other anti-aging injectables.
The beauty experts at Ageless Medical Spa pamper bodies with a full roster of rejuvenating treatments. Classic massages and facials banish stress and refresh the skin, whereas modern laser treatments zap away unwanted hair, wrinkles, and arcade aliens. The spa also boasts a full retail bar of medical-grade skincare products.
After studying at the University of Utah, Emory University, and Vanderbilt, Dr. Justin Johnsen returned to his native Utah to raise his family and begin to realize his dream of helping those suffering from ocular and facial trauma. At Utah Eye & Facial Plastic Surgery, he and his trained aesthetician administer multiple types of surgical and nonsurgical treatments for the face, ranging from four types of cosmetic injectables—including Botox, Juvéderm, Radiesse, and Restylane—to the removal of painful eyelid tumors.
The doctor is happy to consult with any prospective client beforehand—and for free—in order to review all options and develop a rapport that can later be applied to a comedy bit.
Dr. Justin Johnsen, the head of Visage MD, specializes in cosmetic surgery, but his practice encompasses nonsurgical beauty treatments too. He and his team shut down pesky follicles with laser hair-removal treatments, for example, and smooth away wrinkles with beauty injections. Their signature facial rejuvenates skin without any high-tech equipment, just a cleanse, a luxurious mask, and hot towels.

Great for printing color images. The ink dries very fast on the finished product.
I use this paper to make two sided calendars. The photos look great and I like having two sided glossy paper, the only one on the market that I could find. I would have given it 5 stars except one small negative. Although the paper is strong it is very thin. Other than that minor issue I think this paper is great.
I was really pleased with the product. It produced the result I needed.

About This Project
My neighbor was throwing away two table leaves...and well, I can never let pieces of wood get thrown away. I was in need of art work for my dining room and thought the two leaves would be the perfect canvas!
I attached the two leaves and came up with a design. I love coffee, so used items I had in my kitchen for the inspiration. I always have tons of spray paint in the basement, so decided to try my hand at spray paint art!
I am always on the hunt for old table leaves, since they make such a great surface to create art on!

The 'Just Mustard' after party pop can ashtray is a cigarette holder that's easy to clean. By simply filling the can with some water, it can easily be emptied out by simply popping the bottom part off.
This product is ideal for parties where drinking is involved, as the tray is designed to look like a beer can. The design concept is what makes it so distinctive, and the fact that it's easy to clean up is an added bonus.
Product designers that can think outside the box when it comes to revamping standard products have the upper hand, as people often seek fresh and new ideas. The after party pop can is intriguing, and would also make for a great gift.

It may be volunteer - but they still called and asked you to participate!
LOL The all star teacher band is a volunteer effort. We are meeting for the first time today.
It just sucks that my hormones are so messed up at the same time as all this stuff is happening. Something has got to give and I think it may be me. I need a nap.
It may be volunteer - but they still called and asked you to participate!
Thanks, but everyone who volunteered was hired.
Chin up my dear Pebbles. I haven't heard you sing, but I have no doubt that you are one clever lady, and you should be proud of where you have come. To be able to have the confidence to sing at an audition of that nature is impressive. I have my fingers crossed for this second audition, and I do hope you join the band. I am sure a wee bit of light hearted music with your collegues would be a fun way to spend an hour - or two.............
"never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....
Two things...
My period finally arrived and the cramps are baaaaad. Eating badly is not helping so back on the wagon tomorrow.
The "All Star Band" meeting was fun. I will be singing lead on Pat Benetar's "Hit Me With your Best Shot" and harmony on the other songs.
The rest of the set list:
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
You May Be Right - Billy Joel
Pink Houses - John Mellencamp
Drive My Car - Beatles
* I felt like I fit in even without an instrument and I could tell these long time colleagues of mine were impressed. My harmonies are tight.
woohoo Pebbles - you rock !!!!!!!
"never let the truth get in the way of a good story "
...small steps....
So fun, God I wish I could sing. It would be so sweet to belt one out and be on key!
Hot water bottle while laying in a fetal position and hot tea. I have had cramps in my life that are unreal and that has always helped.
Fat Fasting today to get back on track. 90% fat 1000cals.
funny. I was considering one to break the carb cycle ... but don't have the right foods. Good luck!
good luck! I am finding my "fast" days easier now that I have a pattern. And that is that I hold off actually putting food in my mouth for as long as I can. Once I start eating it takes more mental effort to stop than it took to not start in the first place. So I don't eat until I get home from work at about 4:30.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm designing (actually revising) a series of brochures for the state department of health that must be produced in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. As of now both the English and Spanish are set in Novarese and the Vietnamese is in Bodoni -- they are all currently produced in Quark.
My question is, if I build the new versions in InDesign and use OpenType Pro fonts (Adobe Garamond Pro, Myriad Pro, etc...) will the translation process be easier and more visually consistent. I'm somewhat new to the multiple languages bit, so please let me know if more information is needed.
Well you don't have to deal with German. German words are like a sentence in English. Very hard to deal with if you can't hypenate words. I wouldn't be concerned with English, Spanish but I haven't a clue about how Vietnamese sets. Unless you are using the most recent version of Quark I would believe InDesign will make the typesetting better looking.
Nope, no German, but to me, Vietnamese isn't much better. Lots of accents. And it may be that this is something called English-Vietnamese -- I really don't know.
I suppose one of my bigger questions is this: what opentype pro fonts are capable of Vietnamese?
The translation will actually be handled by someone else.
Try this:
Vietnamese Professionals Society
Thanks, David. Vietnamese postscript fonts are what I'm trying to avoid, but I'll contact them to see if they can help.
Many opentype fonts can do multiple languages, but Vietnamese appears to be rare. Adobe's Garamond Premier Pro (it's in one of the PDFs) looks like it can handle Vietnamese -- any others?
Do set the Vietnamese at a smaller size,
since the Carmen Miranda accents give
it a notably larger apparent size.
I agree -- and the Bodoni they use now just hurts. I certainly can't read it, but all of the accents make it looked as though someone spilled ground black pepper on the brochure...
Any font suggestions, Hrant?
This site is for Welsh, but has an excellent .PDF guide to designing bilingual publications that I think applies to any language. The board also has a Bilingual Design Contest that may be of interest.

Essendon is a village and civil parish in Hertfordshire 6 miles (10 km), south-west of Hertford.
The village is on the B158 road 330 feet (100 m) above sea level and has a view of the Lea Valley to the north. Although on an ancient site, St Mary's parish church dates mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries and was restored in 1883. The west tower dates from the 15th century and has eight bells, the oldest cast in 1681.[1] The church contains an unusual Wedgwood ceramic font dated 1780 and several brasses and monuments.[2] In 1916 the east end of the church was damaged by a bomb dropped by the German Navy Zeppelin L-16; two sisters were killed.[3] There is a village pub named The Rose and Crown.
Historic houses in the parish include Camfield Place which was the home of the novelist Barbara Cartland and visited by Beatrix Potter. Nearby is Holwell Court, a Grade II listed building, built in about 1900 for Sir Ernest George; it is now converted to private apartments.
Essendon Place was the seat of the Barons Dimsdale of Russia; Thomas Dimsdale was an expert on the treatment of smallpox by inoculation and in 1768 he was invited to Russia to inoculate Catherine the Great. For his services there he was made a baron of the Russian Empire.[4]
Bedwell Park is another manor house near to the village. Bedwell End [1] was the home of Deneys Reitz, High Commissioner for the Union of South Africa, until his death on 19 October 1944.[5] At the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Boer War he joined the Boer forces at the age of seventeen and accompanied General JC Smuts on his famous raid in the Cape Colony, of which Reitz wrote in his autobiography, Commando.[6] In World War I, as a lieutenant-colonel, he commanded the 1st Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front in France.[7]

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewRacing Destruction Set from Electronic Arts is a car and motocross racing game developed for the Commodore 64, and later released on the Atari 8-bit. The game was known for its at the time innovative track editor. It received much critical praise, and saw numerous remakes and copycats in the years following its release. Gameplay The gameplay is that of the typical racing game: just beat your opponent in a lapped race. The game is played from an isometric perspective and splits the screen in two, with each part showing a different player, allowing one to easily track their opponents progress. This is also how the game handles multiplayer. Up to two players can compete against each other in Racing Destruction Set. Player 1 is put in control of the red car on the upper half of the screen, and player 2 controls the yellow car on lower part of the screen. Track Editor For its time, Racing Destruction Set was a highly innovative racing game for many reasons. The most notable one being its track editor. With it, players could create their very own tracks using one of several templates to choose from, and from there, add things like ramps and elevation changes, as well as different terrain like sand, ice, and, of course, standard tarmac. Each terrain type produces different effects. Ice, for example, causes cars to slip all over the place, and sand slows the car when driving on it. These obstacles can hinder your opponents progress or your own, which can make for some very challenging tracks if done correctly. Car Customization In addition to the robust track editor, Racing Destruction Set also allowed players to customize certain aspects of their cars, such as tires and engines. They could also load it with traps like land mines, and oil that players can spill behind their vehicles. The types of tires you use effect how well the car will handle on various surfaces. Some are better for ice, while others are better for dirt. This makes being conscious of what your car is specked out with important to know, as failure to properly spec your vehicle could result in losing the race Other Customizable Elements Gravity levelsDifficulty level, and skill level of your opponentNumber of lapsGraphic style List of Available Vehicles Can-Am sports carJeepLunar RoverDirt bikeBaja bugPickupSting rayStock carIndy/Gran prix Modes The game features two modes that up to two players can compete in: a standard lapped race, or destruction mode. The former is standard race to the finish line, and the latter tasks players with taking down their opponent using oil slicks and land mines that can be ejected from the vehicles. Remakes A remake of Racing Destruction Set was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, under the name Radical Pyscho Machine Racing. Rock N' Roll Racing, which followed the release of RPM Racing, was also released on the SNES in 1993.

Odyssey Marine Exploration Comments On WikiLeaks Information
TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 21, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMEX) a pioneer in the field of deep ocean exploration, was named in several U.S. State Department cables obtained by WikiLeaks and furnished to the media worldwide. Some of the released cables suggest that the State Department offered special assistance in the " Black Swan" case to Spanish officials in exchange for assistance in acquiring a French painting confiscated by the Nazis during World War II and now controlled by Spain. The cables indicate that the U.S. Government also provided confidential documentation on Odyssey to Spain. Other State Department cables contradict Spain's claims and support Odyssey's previously stated version of events relating to the company's activities in Spain, including the HMS Sussex project and the boarding of Odyssey's vessels.
"While we are obviously concerned about these implications regarding the " Black Swan" case, we are attempting to obtain additional information before taking any specific actions. I have personally sent a letter to the Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, requesting additional information and a review of the position taken by the U.S. in the 'Black Swan' legal case," stated Greg Stemm, Odyssey CEO. "The possibility that someone in the U.S. Government came up with this perfidious offer to sacrifice Odyssey, its thousands of shareholders, and the many jobs created by the company in exchange for the return of one painting to one individual is hard to believe. The WikiLeaks cables clearly show that we have worked cooperatively and transparently with both Spain and the State Department for many years, in spite of claims to the contrary. That fact makes the revelations all the more disappointing. The cables also make us wonder what other agreements may have taken place between U.S. Government officials and Spain regarding the amicus brief filed in support of Spain's position in the 'Black Swan' case."
"We've wondered why the United States changed its long standing position on sovereign immunity, which prior to this case was consistent with U.S. law, international law and U.S. naval regulations that in order for a foreign country's ships and cargo to be immune from the jurisdiction of the U.S. courts they must be engaged in military, non-commercial activities," stated Melinda MacConnel, Odyssey Vice President and General Counsel. "These released cables do call into question the motivation behind the amicus brief filed by the Executive Branch supporting Spain in the 'Black Swan' case."
Additional cables released support Odyssey's statements that, contrary to allegations of certain Spanish officials, the company always cooperated with the Spanish Government and that permits from the Spanish government were granted for work on the HMS Sussex project. The cables also demonstrate the obstructionist activities carried out by certain Spanish officials who had personal reasons for trying to prevent Odyssey from working on the Sussex. These obstructions took place even though Odyssey has an exclusive contract for the archaeological excavation of this UK sovereign immune warship (which was on a strictly military mission when it sank in 1694 off the coast of Gibraltar). Odyssey filed an affidavit in 2007 with a chronology of Odyssey's interactions with the Spanish Government since 1998. It can be accessed at http://shipwreck.net/pdf/ExhibitE.pdf. The document contains entries that are corroborated by information in the State Department cables, which directly contradict claims by some Spanish officials and the Spanish media. About the " Black Swan" In May 2007, Odyssey announced the discovery of the " Black Swan ," a Colonial-period site located in the Atlantic Ocean which yielded over 500,000 silver coins weighing more than 17 tons, hundreds of gold coins, worked gold, and other artifacts. Odyssey completed an extensive pre-disturbance survey of the " Black Swan " site, which included recording over 14,000 digital still images used to create a photomosaic of the site. The coins and artifacts were brought into the United States with a valid export license and imported legally pursuant to U.S. law. Odyssey brought the artifacts under the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court by filing an Admiralty arrest action. This procedure allows any legitimate claimant with an interest in the property to make a claim. The Kingdom of Spain filed a claim to the treasure alleging that the coins originated from the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a Spanish naval vessel which sunk in 1804. Spain claimed that it owned all of the coins and that the treasure was immune from the jurisdiction of the U.S. Court under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA). Although it has not been conclusively proven the recovered cargo came from the Mercedes, Odyssey presented clear evidence to the trial court (including the ship's manifest) that shows the primary purpose of the Mercedes' last voyage was commercial in nature and the vast majority of coins on board were owned by private merchants, not by Spain. The United States filed an amicus brief in the case changing its previous position and supporting Spain in the " Black Swan" case by setting forth a re-interpretation of the language in the Sunken Military Craft Act (SMCA) to allow government owned vessels on commercial missions to enjoy sovereign immunity. A number of individual private descendants (whose ancestors were transporting goods on the Mercedes) as well as the country of Peru have filed claims in the case. Without conducting a hearing, the district court sided with Spain and ruled that the treasure should all be turned over to Spain. The case is currently on appeal at the Eleventh Circuit.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Contractors assist PJs in carrying out their various programs and activities. Contracting is used for a range of purposes-from professional services and logistical support to construction activities and property management. When a PJ is involved with procuring property or services under a Federal grant, the PJ must make sure it is compliant with standards involving procurement practices, contracting services, conflict of interest provisions, and other related issues. For more information on conflict of interest provisions, see the Administrative Requirements topic in this training module.
All contracts for federally funded programs must specify the Federal requirements to which contractors are bound. PJs and their partners must follow procurement procedures that reflect Federal requirements, as well as state and local laws and regulations. Furthermore, PJs and their partners should check the published lists of debarred contractors to make sure potential contractors are eligible.
The key contracting and procurement laws that apply to the HOME Program include the following:
Note: PJs and their partners may be subject to additional state or local contracting and procurement laws. If that is the case, the more stringent standards apply.
Local Contracting Agencies (LCAs), which are usually the PJs, are expected to subscribe to the GSA Debarred Lists and verify eligibility for all prime contractors prior to contract award. HUD Labor Relations is not responsible for verifying contractor eligibility. A record of the verification is made to the labor standards enforcement file (a handwritten note that is dated and initialed is sufficient). HUD Labor Relations staff ensure that contractor verification is performed and documented by the LCA during monitoring reviews.
Only the eligibility of the prime contractor must be verified and documented in the labor standards enforcement file. Subcontractor clearance is the responsibility of the prime contractor. That does not mean that PJs can ignore subcontractor eligibility altogether. If PJs have reason to believe that a subcontractor is ineligible, they should inquire further to learn the subcontractor's actual status. If PJs find that the subcontractor is ineligible, they should notify the prime contractor immediately and ensure that the ineligible subcontractor is terminated.

Last week I received a widely distributed announcement on a conference celebrating "The 'Stanford School' of Philosophy of Science." The 'core' members of this school are taken to be: Nancy Cartwright (Durham), John Dupré (Exeter), Peter Galison (Harvard), Peter Godfrey-Smith (CUNY), Patrick Suppes (Stanford). The parenthesis are the current affiliation of the 'core' members; this immediately suggests that if there is a 'school' at all we are either dealing with a historical phenomenon or very distributed one. Scanning the list of the 'next generation' confirms that Stanford is not the current base of the purported school.
First, I adore much of the work done by many in the 'core,' but the idea that this group is a 'school' is deeply flawed. For, Suppes is far better understood (as he does himself) as belonging to the first generation (including Kyburg, Pap, Isaac Levi) intellectual off-spring of Ernest Nagel, who successfully created American analytical philosophy by combining the Scientific wing of Pragmatism with the new approaches emanating from Vienna, especially, and Cambridge (recall and here). In his autobiography, Suppes describes how assimilated from Nagel the significance of history of science.

Will the Melee Dps get their own version of Abyssal Scepter would like to see the Armor reduction arua come back.
Health on supports early is kind of hurting now. I'm skeptacle putting this in this thread and on a saturday, but a HoG rush was the way to survive bursty lanes. With that option gone, unless there are other ways to gain gold on supports without cs early, you are pretty much pigeonholed into getting a philo, even against a leona lane which you would normally want the health. :/ Have you considered a sort of reverse scaling gold income. <-crappy phrasing. Basically make the passive gold income on gp/10s (or at least on the health one) become less effective with increased cs? That would mean maybe a jungler could get it if he wanted to rush an item that came from it, or a top laner could get it to stay relevent and help him into mid/late game, but it wouldn't help the winner win as they would, supposedly, be getting higher cs? If you make it so at every ~20 cs it takes an extra second to generate the gold or something, then you won't effect supports (for the most part) and it won't be terribly snowbally in other lanes. Or you could say it only generates gold up to 50cs. I have no idea what numbers might be good off hand, but is the idea viable at all?

So i was wondering if for somthing like ionic spark if it just had a much weaker effect that proced on ever strike (which would look like a lightning storm and cool.) or if you could latch the 4 hit proc on an existing item like malady or wit's. it is just such a cool effect to get rid of imo. But i understand the balance for this. As for mbr, i always used it on kog to extend his w dmg.... but that is so nitchy, i'd rather see BotRK instead, as i love this item on TT

Steven E. Woodworth was born in Ohio and grew up in the Midwest. He earned his Ph.D. in history at Rice University in 1987, and is the author, coauthor, or editor of twenty-eight books on American history, including Nothing but Victory: The Army of the Tennessee, 1861–1865. He is currently a professor of history at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
A Conversation with Steven Woodworth
Q: Remnants of the Civl War still seem to be alive today, especially in the southern states. Did moving to the South have any influence on your decision to begin writing about such an important time in our history?
A: Actually my interest in the Civil War began long before I moved to the South. When I was a small boy back in Illinois, I used to bug my father to read to me. I guess I must have asked him a lot, because besides reading me all of the usual children's books, he started reading to me the books he himself was reading for enjoyment, and those were history books. I quickly lost interest in the children's books. They couldn't compare to the likes of Bruce Catton and Walter Lord. My favorite books were about the Civil War. When I got older and learned how to read for myself, my interests remained the same.
Q: Throughout your career, you have written several books on the Civil War. Please explain how NOTHING BUT VICTORY, The Army of the Tennessee, 1861-1865 stands out from the rest.
A: As I compare Nothing but Victory to my previous books, it is the largest book I've written so far and covers what is in many ways the largest topic. It combines the high-command and strategy approach of my first two books, with the soldiers-eye view that I took in While God Is Marching On and A Scythe of Fire. In contrast to the former of those, it is a narrative history (my favorite kind of history) and follows one group of human beings all the way through the war. In contrast to Scythe, it deals not with a single regiment (never more than 1,000 men) but with an entire field army that numbered as much as 60,000, and it is focused not on the storied but indecisive eastern theater (the 8th Georgia fought in Virginia) but on the dynamic, exciting, and very decisive West (which in the Civil War meant west of the Appalachians).
Q: NOTHING BUT VICTORY examines the usually neglected West that, in reality, greatly impacted the outcome of the Civil War. Please explain why you chose to focus on this area and why you think most historians do not.
A: Answering this question fully could entail a book all in itself—which I may write someday. In the meantime I'll say that like many Americans, I grew up thinking the Civil War was something that happened almost entirely east of the Appalachians. A great many professional Civil War historians today will tell you that it was reading the works of Bruce Catton that first got them interested in the Civil War, and Catton is best known for writing about the war in the East. Yet the fixation on the eastern theater—and neglect of the West—goes back far beyond Catton, who wrote during the 1950s and '60s. The eastern battles featured the biggest armies and the most flamboyant commanders. They were closest to the rival capitals and also to the mass media markets. They therefore attracted the most ink during and immediately after the war, and since then their fame has compounded itself, with people taking an interest in them simply because so much has been written about them. Also, I might add that the Americans who have maintained the strongest interest in the Civil War are Southerners, and Southerners much prefer to remember the eastern battles, were Confederate forces won victories under Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
As I studied the Civil War from primary sources as a graduate student, I came to realize that my previous stereotypical ideas had not been correct. In fact, it was in the area between the Appalachians and the Mississippi that the outcome of the war was decided. The eastern theater, with all its hoopla and press attention, was also almost completely indecisive. In effect it was the sideshow that eclipsed the center ring.
Q: Please explain why the army you focus on in NOTHING BUT VICTORY was named the Army of the Tennessee?
A: While Confederate field armies were almost always named after states or parts of states (e.g., the Army of Tennessee, the Army of Northern Virginia), Union armies were nearly always named after rivers (e.g., the Army of the Potomac, the Army of the Cumberland). The Army of the Tennessee was named after the Tennessee River, along whose banks it won its first major victory, at Fort Donelson, and fought the first major battle of the war, at Shiloh. The Tennessee River was the main axis of the army's advance during its first two major campaigns.
Q: NOTHING BUT VICTORY follows the highs and lows of the Army of the Tennessee. Please discuss what, in your opinion, was their highest and lowest point during this time period.
A: The low point for the men of the Army of the Tennessee was the winter they spent encamped opposite Vicksburg, January-April 1863. Half the army had suffered a defeat at Chickasaw Bayou in December, and the other half had been forced to retreat from the interior of Mississippi at about the same time. Vicksburg seemed impregnable and the end of the war nowhere in sight. Union forces were stymied on other fronts as well. Home-front morale was low, and a peace movement had sprung up. Newspapers said the war could never be won, and some soldiers received letters from loved ones with the same discouraging message. Some civilians actually visited the army's camps with the purpose of persuading soldiers to desert. The camps themselves were depressing places, pitched as they were on low muddy ground a few inches above—or sometimes a few inches below—the water table. Sickness was rampant and deaths an everyday occurrence in each regiment. Only on the levee itself could the bodies be buried—elsewhere there was too much water, and it seemed to rain almost every day.
By contrast the army had many good times—times of excitement, success, and high morale: the initial advances along the rivers in grand flotillas of steamboats; the campaign through the interior of Mississippi in the spring of 1863, completely dispelling the previous winter's futility; the capture of Vicksburg on Independence Day 1863; the capture of Atlanta in September 1864; the March to Sea that November and December, with the dawning awareness that they were eating out the innards of the rebellion and victory was at hand; and the even more exciting march through the Carolinas the following winter.
The army's best day of fighting came in the July 22, 1864, Battle of Atlanta. There, outnumbered, hit in front, flank, and rear, and deprived of the leadership of their beloved commander, James B. McPherson, who fell early in the fight, the army rallied and drove off its attackers with heavy losses. Sherman later told the men wryly that the only unmilitary thing they had done that day was that they did not surrender.
I think, however, that if we could ask the soldiers what was for them the high point of their experience in the Army of the Tennessee, they would state emphatically that it was the Grand Review in Washington, D.C., May 24, 1865. The war was over, the Union saved, and the men would soon be going home. The Army of the Tennessee, leading the western Union armies, marched through the capital city between cheering, sometimes singing, crowds of spectators, who threw flowers, waved flags, and held up signs expressing their gratitude.
Q: NOTHING BUT VICTORY is interspersed with vignettes drawn from letters and diaries which detail the impact casualties, funerals, and efforts to send material aid to the troops had on the army. Where did you do your research and how did you obtain these documents?
A: The Civil War armies, including the Army of the Tennessee, were the world's first highly literate mass armies. The men were often homesick, and the way they dealt with it was to write letters. Families saved many of those letters, and happily many of them are available to researchers today. The U.S. Army Military History Institute at Carlisle, PA, possesses the papers of more than 5,000 Civil War soldiers, though most of them were from the eastern armies. State historical societies have additional treasure troves of letters as well as soldiers' diaries. The Illinois State Historical Library, Wisconsin Historical Society, and Indiana Historical Society were especially rich sources of documents. Individual collections of letters from soldiers in the Army of the Tennessee can be found at various repositories from the Southern Historical Collection of the University of North Carolina, to the Atlanta History Center, to the Pearce Collection of Navarro College in Corsicana, TX, to the special collections department of the library of Augustana College in Rock Island, IL, or the Rutherford B. Hayes Center in Fremont, OH. I could have written this book two or three times over using completely different soldier anecdotes every time.
Q: The army was not only fighting to unite a country, but tens of thousands of slaves were also awaiting their arrival to bring them freedom. Please explain how the soldiers dealt with these difficult race relations.
A: This was a difficult issue for the Army of the Tennessee, which was recruited from a section of the country (the Midwest) that was deeply conflicted on issues of race. Some soldiers, especially from the upper Midwest, believed it was their duty to end slavery and opined that the war would never be won until the Union embraced the cause of emancipation. By contrast, soldiers from the Ohio Valley could often be strongly racist. If they objected to slavery at all, it was merely because slavery brought African-Americans into territories that they wanted to save for white men. Such soldiers would sometimes write of the slaves in the most brutal terms.
Still, as the war progressed, the men began to realize that it was slavery that was threatening their country, and they began to see the institution of slavery itself as their enemy. When in the late winter of 1863, adjutant general Lorenzo Thomas visited the army's camps to announce the new policy of enlisting black regiments, the white soldiers received the idea enthusiastically, and many volunteered to serve as officers in the new outfits. They still had a long way to go on the issue of racial equality—in fact, scarcely any of them got there during the course of the war, or, in all likelihood, thereafter—but they had come a long way from their prewar tacit acceptance of slavery as long as it stayed in the Southern states and didn't try to break up the Union.
Q: As a historian, are there times when you get tired of your topic of choice? Are there other periods in American history that are also of interest to you?
A: Yes, I do get tired of the Civil War sometimes. That's inevitable when one is immersed in the topic as much as I've been for all these years. Yet I still enjoy studying and writing about it. That may seem contradictory, but it's true. The Army of the Tennessee project was the most exciting and enjoyable I've undertaken in all of my work on the Civil War.
I do indeed have other interests in history, so numerous and diverse that I'm almost embarrassed to mention them all (won't mention them all, as a matter of fact). I'm reminded of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," and I think that unless I live an extraordinarily long life, there will be many roads not taken in my historical research and writing. Among my other
interests are the period of roughly 30 years leading up to the Civil War, and the 50 or so years following the end of Reconstruction (1877), as well as the 1960s. We'll see which roads get taken in the future!
Q: As a professor of history at Texas Christian University, do you find your students to be fascinated by this particular time in history? How do they view this war in comparison to the other wars America has fought?
A Our students have a very strong interest in the Civil War. The course fills up every time it's offered, and other students are on the waiting list, hoping for a chance to get in. There's a fair amount of interest in other wars too, especially World War II these days. I think the Civil War excites people particularly because it happened right here in America. Its relics and sites are among us, and the key objectives and terrain features that we read about in the stories of its campaigns are often rivers and towns that we know well. It was so big that its effects engulfed almost every facet of society, and it called forth the utmost determination from both sides. I think there's something stirring about witnessing people who are totally committed to a cause—even when we have to view them across the 140 years that separate us. We ask ourselves what causes could evoke such commitment in us, whether we're capable of such dedication, and whether we could face the challenges those people did with as much courage as they did.
Q: Given that you have devoted your career to studying the era of the Civil War, are there any specific moments that you wish you could have witnessed?
A: There are of course many events in the Civil War that I wish I could witness, including all of those great moments of the Army of the Tennessee that I mentioned above. Most of all, I think I'd like to see John A. "Black Jack" Logan leading the Army of the Tennessee's counterattack at the Battle of Atlanta, with the troops surging forward to close up the broken line and shouting, "Black Jack! Black Jack!" That must have been quite a scene. My wish is all the stronger for the fact that we can't go to that place now and see the terrain on which it occurred, since that land has been overspread by the city of Atlanta.

Does anyone have experience with Mexican Petunias? I planted 3 large plants early summer and they did beautifully--didn't mind the humidity one bit.
When I purchased them from Home Depot, they were labelled Mandevilla Vine. Of course, it took me a while to find out what they really were--I happened to be watching an episode of P Allen Smith and and he identified it. So, now that I know what the plants are, I've looked online to see how to care for them. Well, the reportedly are not hardy in zone 6. However, I have seen a pix online that show Mexican Petunias planted in Central Park. Does anyone know if they will overwinter here in NJ? I'd hate to lose them--but I don't want to dig them up and bring indoors, either. BTW, I paid $20/piece for them at HD. Was this a fair price--or did I pay for a costlier Mandevilla? Finally, I read on another forum that several folks had grown them in their gardens in the South and truly regretted it. They reported the plant to be very invasive. Does anyone know this to be true? How can I manage the plant? |

I've not had them survive winter outdoors, even with mulch. However they'll survive in a 35-40 degree garage if kept slightly moist. Ruellia caroliniensis is hardy here and reseeds as well. I'll have the latter at the Swap on October 1st. I'll also have R. coccinea, a tender red flowered species which is 'hardy' on a winter windowsill. |

Deontae Cooper is back. He is smiling, gliding and charging on as if his three knee reconstructions in three years never happened. When and if he finally debuts for UW Aug. 31 against Boise State, an entire university and its fan base will do more than smile back.
"I am just really lucky to be out here. I feel really privileged to be back with my team," the 2012 Mackey Award finalist says on his second day back on the field.
Steve Sarkisian looked around his newly renovated home and had two words.
The Rose Bowl Most Valuable Player for the 1990 season, the trigger for three consecutive Pac-10 titles and an inspiration during the run to the 1991 national championship, gets honored tonight as the first Husky Legend in the new stadium.
When UW graduate and long-time Husky supporter Kim Jackson called from Atlanta hoping to surprise her dying father, Coach Sark and his staff delivered. Big time. "It will always make me smile."
Washington's Keith Price and Bishop Sankey both earned a spot on the 50-man watch list for the Walter Camp Award, presented annually to the nation's top college football player.

Husky senior Keith Price has been named to the preseason watch list for the 2013 Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.
The Huskies' QB has accomplished much since he last played a game. He's become a graduate and a teacher. His legs are stronger. And he's hardened to "the haters."
Husky tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was named to the watch list for the 2013 John Mackey Award, given annually to the nation's top tight end. In 2012, he was one of three finalists for the award.

Pawpaws: the Indiana Banana! |
No reviews yet. Be the first. |
And now for something completely different -- the luscious fruit of the Pawpaw or "Indiana Banana" is now ripening in our forests!
From "way down yonder in the pawpaw patch": Indiana pawpaws!
The pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba) is the only temperate member of the Annonaceae (Custard Apple) Family. A shrubby tree, it grows prolifically in our forests, and produces its luscious fruit at the end of Summer.
The 2-4" fruit has multiple large seeds. As the fruit ripens, it changes from green, to yellowish-green, and eventually to brownish-black. Some consider blackened fruit the most flavorful, and but the greenish fruits we send you will ripen to perfection, and in my opinion, are best eaten as soon as they become nice and soft.
The pawpaw's flavor is very difficult to describe, although everyone agrees it has has a custard-like consistency and something of a banana-ish flavor, with hints of papaya, pear, mango, and pineapple.
Just slice open the skin and spoon out the contents -- you've never tasted anything quite like it!
Please note: a perfectly ripe pawpaw is not a "pretty" fruit. The blackening is normal, and some bruising may appear, as the ripe fruit is extraordinarily soft. The flavor and edibility will not be affected.
We will send you these delectable fruits straight from our Indiana pawpaw grove. Your tastebuds will thank you!
Our garden seeds, yarns, and nuts make perfect gifts in synergy with our shared goals of environmental protection, sustainability, and food security.
Consider our wide range of heirloom vegetable, herb, and flower seeds as holiday gifts this year ~ grow your own and promote genetic diversity!

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Taiwan's central bank left interest rates unchanged yesterday, ending five straight quarters of increases as price pressures ease and a faltering global recovery threatens its export-dependent economy.
The central bank kept the discount rate on 10-day loans to banks at 1.875 percent. Fourteen of the 17 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News predicted the decision. Three expected an increase to 2 percent.

I see a very nice rug under the table. Will that be staying? If so, could we see a photo of it? You might take some inspiration from its colors. Also, what about the cushion over the radiator, the draperies and the fabric on the chairs? Do I see a green and white pattern? Or...? |

Black and white are total neutrals, so any color will go.... gold green blue yellow all of them.... |
deep gold is pretty in dining rooms and would look nice with your wood... |
I didn't look up your other paint colors, so this idea might not work with them. I was thinking that you have a warm color now, so you might want to switch to a cool color for a change. I've linked a blue dining room that Sarah Richardson did. I think the color would look great with all of your white trim and black and white accents. |

Beautfiul room! My first thought was how pretty Wythe Blue would be in there, but I always look for an excuse to paint something Wythe Blue. A bolder color, also in the historical palette that I think could be marvelous, is Covington Blue. As far as keeping the red (which is a VERY pretty color!)and adding mouldings, I don't think that would give you the impact and fresh change you're craving. How about keeping those gorgeous red walls & doing some different window treatments? Country Curtains has many options that would look amazing with your red. That would give you a whole new look without going to the trouble of painting, and you could play up that awesome window seat with coordinating pillows, which would be fun. You can order up to 10 free swatches from CC per phone call, so you could check some fabrics out up close before ordering. Their quality is good and prices are reasonable. A change in fabric can breathe new life into a room! That's what I'd do; and spice up your tablescaping with some fresh, colorful flowers and fruit and a pair of beautiful candlesticks. Your dining room is quite terrific just the way it is, but I understand wanting a fresh take on a good thing. |
What color is the pattern on the seat cushions - hard to see, are they green? What colors are int he rug? |
The rug has reds,navy, olives and goldish tans in it. And the window seat and chairs are a black toile. I am not in love with the rug but it works well with the red and my living room rug but I am open to removing or switching it. I love the blue in sarah's room and I never thought of golds I will look for some gold dining rooms on line and see if that moves me:) SG I too love wythe blue and it is consideration but I maybe changing the entry hall to that in the near future:) but it is up there with my favs:) Here is a better pic of the rug |
Interestingly, Sarah chose that blue I posted because the homeowner had a rug with colors very similar to yours in the adjacent living room and she wanted to tie the rooms together. Usually, though, when a rug is in the room to be painted, a decorator trick is to pick one of the least dominant colors in the rug for the wall color which, in your case, could be gold, cream or I think I even might be seeing a sage green. |

I used Bungalow Gold in my last house in the DR with red accents. I used Bungalow Blue in the entry/hallway with Red accents and black and white pictures on the walls. I loved both colors. Bungalow GOld Ignore the mess. that is the best shot in daylight! There are more pics of the finished room in the album linked below. This is Bungalow Blue (there are more pics in the album called foyer) |

I vote for a soft gold, not as dark as the Bungalow Gold (no offense) but more like the soft gold in your painting/tapestry...in the first picture. That would look nice with your art, your rug, your black and white wallpaper, your table and chairs and your floor, IMHO :) |

Take a look at BM's Abingdon Putty. At first glance it looks beige, but it has some gold and green tones and is lovely with white trim. I can't tell from my monitor whether it's similar to the pale greenish tone in your rug. We have a similar color (a custom mix of a discontinued color) in our living room and it's my favorite paint in the house. It changes depending on the light, but always looks soft without looking Blah! Here's a link to a photo -- Abingdon Putty is the room through the doorway; this is not my house (though we also have Edgecomb gray, the color in the foreground room here)! By the way, I searched for images to show you, and many rooms that pop up under Google Images are not Abingdon Putty. Those words must be elsewhere on the websites linked. One photo that someone copied and posted on a GW thread asking about Abingdon Putty is clearly not the right color. Very confusing (not just this paint color, but image search results in general). |

Loving the blue! Of course, that is my favorite color. I always lean towards the cool colors. Had a gold kitchen for awhile and hated it. But that's just me. |

Here's a copied FengShu tips for painting the dining room: EARTH/STOMACH/DINING ROOM - In Chinese medicine, the element earth is the stomach. The dining room is where we eat and digest food. The dining room is best in earthen tones of gold, terra cotta, or other soft yin colors. Red paint in a dining area is too stimulating and people eat too fast. I was watching the Designer Challenge on HGTV (i know, but it was really hot out) and the designers were doing kitchens. One painted theirs blue but were told it was a bad color choice because blue kills appetites. We have BM Blonde in our dining room (north facing). It looks good all at all times, and looks especially nice with our black/cream art work. Your dining room is very pretty. |
Boo, I think you are my deep color sister! I love saturated colors too! I love the blue with your black and white stairs! I also like your orange but it does not play well with my other rooms but I love it in your DR! Yummy! Lazydaisynot, I like your putty but feel it is too pale for my home. I am looking into a few other putty greys tho:) Anyone have a blue DR or kitchen? I think blue is meant to stiffle an appetite, which on an every day basis is fine but not when entertaining:) LL I will look for light golds with the deep ones. I know lighter and airy is so popular but I seem to gravitate to deep, dark and moody colors for some reason:). thankyou everyone! |
A vote to paint the walls in satin black -- and switch to a sisal rug (perhaps with a black border?) Could you post a photo after you go through the room (as you mention above) and edit the contents? Maybe try looking at the room without the area rug? Just some thoughts -- hope you don't mind! |
Thanks massagerocks. I think maybe that is where I too heard the blue taboo. I will look at BM blonde too. I think it is very well like on the forum! |
Teacats I have been tempted to paint it black but am afraid it might be too dark for the kids eating every meal in. We do not really have an eatin kitchen so this is our everyday room . Also the LR is a charcaol color and the kitchen has very dark cabs too. Do you think growing up always eating in a black and white room will damage the girls:). I will edit and shop for some more refreshing candles and accessories and try the room with out the rug tomorrow and will post pics than:) I took this pic to try and show the adjoining living room and sunroom colors but the LR looks lighter on my monitor than in real live. |
OOPs sorry about the double large pics have no idea how I did that... |

I love the blue dining room too. It is serene. I love the white trim with it. Of course I have a blue dining room and love it. I have a lot of wood in there and it works well with wood. There is nothing cold about it, nor does it stiffle anyone's appetite. It is all I can do to get company to move to the family room after dinner. Like any other room, how it is furnished dictates how your family and guests feel in the room. If you go to the paint store and look at paint chips, what colors are you drawn to? Go to Houzz and search through the dining rooms. What rooms to you connect to? That is where I would start. |
- Posted by boopadaboo (My Page) on Mon, Jul 9, 12 at 21:14
I love the idea of black, but I don't think I would like if for the room the kids eat in every day either. How about a yellow or pink? They would both look great with black and white and might work better with your other colors. I do have a blue kitchen. not as dark as above in my old house though. My new house is much darker in general and has dark trim so harder to do dark colors with (unless of course it was some old victorian, which sadly it is not ;) ) Most of my downstairs is painted blue exhale I think from BM. I love the deep colors you have in your house! Can't wait to see what you come up with for this room. :) Pink might work better with the rug. |
SInce you can change out the rug and you like blue (so do I) I would go with a deep blue color it will look great with the trim and the chair pads, you may need to switch out the rug for something lighter. |

You could keep the rug and go with a lighter shade of blue as there is blue in the rug. The third from the left is BM jamestown blue which is really pretty and very different from the red, but will blend nicely with charcoal. |

I love Jamestown Blue too. Two more possible blues from the historic palette would be Buckland Blue, and the darker, moodier, Philipsburg Blue. |

I really like boopadaboo's dining room in orange. I guess it will go pretty well with the colour of the wooden furniture. |
Saw this room and thought of you. You could do the board and batten (easy) and leave just a section of red paint above if you don't want to get rid of your red completely. (Scroll down till the review . . .) tina |
Here is a link that might be useful: red/board and batten dining room
Well I have about 100 color cards to look at now. I am leaning towards a blue at this point but have not yet narrowed them down to favorites yet. I worked today at filtering, moving and removing furniture. And am looking at CC's cutains too. I hope to narrow my choices down to a few by week's end and then do some large color boards to post for votes. thanks for all the great advice! |
I have b;ue in my kitchen (my wall of tall cabinets surrounding my fridge) and in my dining room. Neither have kept folks from eating and eating well here. Blue is restful and calming - a good state to be in to enjoy company and a meal. I recently had to repair some wall damage and thought about changing the color. We thought about a cocoa or a plum, but I went back to blue. We went to match the paint, but it came out different and had to be tweaked, so my new color is a little deeper and richer than the last. It isn't quite as dark as this photo makes it appear when the focus was on the chandelier. BTW, blue is a perfect compliment to silver, gold and crystal (even red) -- makes for a lovely table. The blue seems a bit darker than it is because the focus was on our new fixture, but I think you can get the idea. A little darker than boop's. I like the gold too, but you will have to be careful with the yellow and gold tones in your wood floor. |

My DR was navy blue for many years. Just moved it across the hall but here is one pic..there are more in the album...it is now in the chocolate room. I too love the saturated colors !! |
OOh I love both of those blues. Lascatx, I am guessing yours is custom but do you know the orginal mix? And Trailrunner, I always love getting glimpses into your lovely home. Do you remember the color you used by any chance. I am more and more thinking a rich blue is for me! |
- Posted by lazydaisynot (My Page) on Tue, Jul 10, 12 at 20:24
A friend has a dining room painted a blue somewhere between navy and royal. It's beautiful, and serves as a fine backdrop for all sorts of celebrations. |
- Posted by trailrunner (My Page) on Tue, Jul 10, 12 at 20:39
roarah...thank you for the sweet comment !! It is a Martin Senour paint called Real Navy. It changes throughout the day and is a very rich color. I love it . It has been 10 yrs since we painted and it has never lost its charm. I sure hope you can find the color. It is on their old fan deck not on the individual cards. If you have trouble finding it let me know and I can go to the place where I bought it. I don't have any in a can anymore. But I sure will be glad to help you. c |
My first thought was deep gold, second...navy!! |
I would love to see a deep plum or eggplant color in that room. I think it would be more unexpected than red or navy. I don't have any pictures, but google and houzz do :-). |

We have a blue dining room, and I love it! This is an old photo, but it's a good representation of the color. It's Hatteras Gray by Porter Paints (but appears much more blue than gray to me). I think blue would work well with your rug, if you decide to keep it. |
I wish I could post a picture for you, but after putting up eight samples, we found the perfect saturated blue/green/gray color for our dining room. It is SO beautiful. It changes depending on the light, and looks stunning with our mid-tone wood furniture. The color is Sherwin Williams Underseas. I found a picture to show you that is close to how the color appears in our house. See below. I never loved saturated tones until we bought this house. It's a 1920's bungalow with English and Colonial influences, and for some reason, it just seems to cry out for saturated tones. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sherwin Williams Underseas
Oops. I forgot to say that the color in our dining room is bluer than the picture. And if you check out a paint chip, don't be alarmed. The paint chip looks like a dab of nothing. But get enough of a paint sample on the wall and you may fall in love. |
roarah, since it's your family's primary eating area, I vote gold (SW Saffron?). Gold seems warm and welcoming, whereas blue strikes me as a little more formal. It can be striking, though. boopadoo, I want an orange room! Actually, I think one of my family members has a rather orange living room. Maybe in my next house. |
Here is a link that might be useful: But since you're considering blue...Girlville's dining room - BM North Sea
Ooh more beautiful colors suggestions and another stunning dining room, Hoosiergirl! I have eliminated lots of colors but am not in love with a sample yet. I so far like in the blues mysteria and blue fox, both by behr, the best with my other colors. Mysteria is a dark greyish blue and blue fox might be a little to pale. I picked a few yellows that I was dawn to also. So far I like mojito by behr which shock me cause it is bit mild. I am off to the SW store and BM carrier now to grab more brand colors. I am liking my new arrangement much better. Seems more open and peaceful already. I like plum, my neice has a beautiful plum DR that I love so I will grab some plums too. |
After we painted, we found the original paint can, but I gave it away since it no longer matched. It was a Berh paint, but it may or may not have been a Berh color -- it was painted nearly 10 years ago. Sorry. Now, I do have the BM can with the "custom" paint. I am not sure the label is accurate. There was one point where it went too purple, but for Regal Select Matte, it says one gallon is W1 4x 3.5000 Looking at the BM colors online, it looks like it would be most similar to Admiral Blue or Midnight Navy, but not quite either. The earlier color was similar to Oxford Grey, but maybe a bit deeper and a bit more blue (it looks different online than on the card I have). |

Is it already Christmas where you live? It seems December 25 comes earlier and earlier each year. As a Jew, I kind of love it, because hello, cookies, pine tree smell and holiday carols. But as a critic of capitalism, it's kind of the worst. Apparently this cake was made by a disgruntled bakery employee who was annoyed by the early onset of Christmas music in her store. Fair enough.

Jil Sander Fall 2012
Jil Sander Fall 2012
>> It's not every day that the finale of a fashion show is met with a tearful ovation or an audience that rushes the runway in unrestrained appreciation. As Raf Simons gave his final bow at Jil Sander today, he was met with both.
It was "moving and spontaneous, and certainly not like anything I've experienced in 25 years of covering the industry," Cathy Horyn reported of the show's final moments. Federico Marchetti echoed the sentiment saying, "Raf was in tears at Jil Sander, the purest moment in fashion since I started in this industry."
Of course, it's not every day that a designer presents a collection so lovely, elegant, or quite so poignant. It is also not every day that a designer who's done such a remarkable job leaves a successful post to go off into the great unknown.
Regardless, it's true that wherever Simons goes he'll be just fine. Today's ice cream-hued swan song — which some say evoked a modern take on '50s Dior couture — was a triumph, not only in its breathtaking beauty, but in its optimism and promise as well.
