Antlers are OUT. Macrame is IN. Chevrons are OUT. Shibori is IN. I always need lists like this to confirm that I am, as usual, OUT. |

Follow-Up Postings:
I must be out, too. I've been referring to the Shibori look as "tie-dye." |
Macrame? Seriously?! I can remember that stuff in the 70's, slowly doubling and tripling in bulk as it attracted every free bit of dust in the house. I'm glad to see white appliances are coming back. Always had 'em, always loved 'em, all of my 60 years. Our house has always been an eclectic mix of the things, textures, and colors WE like. I could care less about 'trends', other than to remark on how silly and passing they are. |
Oh please, please, please let white appliances come back so we can end this horrid SS era! Macrame?? Egads. '70s making a comeback? Yikes. Looks like it around here; I've been noticing all roads and highways are filthy with trash/litter. Haven't seen it like this since the '70s, when it was so bad they ran those anti-litter campaign ads with the Indian with the tear running down his cheek? what's next? Avocado bathroom fixtures? |

I don't give a flying leap....my antlers are staying! |
And I will never abandon barn wood! |

No doubt someone had a warehouse of twine and dye left over from the dreamcatcher days, and a brainstorming to unload it came up with macramé and tie-dye. At least it will keep the herd busy. :) I don't dislike shibori, but it will too-soon be in the saturation zone. And enough! with the white already. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 14 at 14:48
I never even heard of shibori before, but I liked it enough to look it up, and just ordered a duvet cover online! (but no macramé OR antlers for me!) |
I'm both a Hit and Miss! I have white appliances, AND I just bought two wooden picture frames with painted chevron stripes on them. One of them is turoquoise! Ba-da-bing! |

LOL! What makes me always wonder is that there really are people out there who actually slavishly follow these yearly/seasonal silly design "In & Out" decrees. Did you all read the first reader comment under it? Now that gal makes sense IMO! This is what she wrote: MushCreek: ROFL and totally agreeing with your comment: "Macrame? Seriously?! I can remember that stuff in the 70's, slowly doubling and tripling in bulk as it attracted every free bit of dust in the house" ! |

I must be out, out, out. Except we do have a bunch of tree trunks my DH cut to use as extra seating our patio (see the macramé photo). Are those, by any chance, 'in'? I do like the shibori, but like Peony, I would be calling it 'tie dye'. I was also tired of white appliances so was really happy when I could finally have SS. And I still love barn wood. |

If macrame is back....then harvest gold and avocado appliances can't be far behind! The only "overdone" thing I have is SS appliances (had white before that and just wanted a change, but still like white). Guess I'm a trend nerd! |
SO I just finished clearing out and having a garage sale last week. I had a like new macramé purse from my high school days, quite vintage. Thought about keeping it for my daughter. So in walks this chick; you know the type, Miss On Trend. She zero's in on that purse like radar. Snags it and didn't let it go. She must have read this blog. So Guess I cant keep everything. It clearly made her day. |
It would be funny to see a house staged with all the new 'trends' and watch one of those house hunter couples from hgtv walk in and say 'oh, ick, this is a complete gut job and the decorating is awful'. |

And here we go again, a new season, and new 'no nos' that we are supposedly to buy into, so much like the fashion industry. We're back to the hemline craziness again, short in front, long in back, another way to get rid of warehouses full of the maxi, so much like the stockpiled macrame from the 70's. The only one I totally disagree about is the SS appliances. When my parents remodeled their home back in 1959, they had the first ever(I had seen)drop in gas range, wall oven, as well as sink, all in SS. The pink refrigerator definitely kept it in the 50's, but the rest of the kitchen would still be 21st century worthy. SS appliances are not just a trend as many see them, but play an important role in appliances, and NOT as a 'design element' per'se. As for white appliances , they've never completely disappeared from the market place either as they can be special ordered. Just because you don't see a certain color 'on the floor' doesn't mean it's not available. Trending is for those who haven't 'learned' what it is they like. Most of us who have had several homes have determined a certain style, or even decided to change styles, and are comfortable in 'doing their own thing', no ID needed. Maybe along the way they've acquired quite a collection of books/magazines that helped them get there, but really know what it is they love and works in their home, and that includes antlers! ;) |
Always fun to read! Thanks for posting. |
I have to wait for colors and things I like to become "trendy" My previous house had original stainless steel appliances from 1957, although the refrigerator was dark brown (circa 1960). We renovated the kitchen in 2001 and replaced with...stainless steel. In 2004 we bought our current house, replacing the black and chrome 1982 appliances with stainless steel (it was supposedly going out of fashion). We kept the stainless steel when we remodeled in 2008 (supposedly going out of fashion). I happen to like stainless steel, so not worried about trendiness. I have always liked macrame, as long as it is a single piece or in moderation. I really like the Shibori as well (also fond of batik), but once again, it must be in moderation. Duvet covers are wonderful for that sort of thing :). |
peony4: I must be out, too. I've been referring to the Shibori look as "tie-dye." It's only in if you give it a Japanese name. You know what's "out"? Click bait.* *Websites that require you to click through multiple pages to be able to read their 10 point list. The idea is that they drive up the number of pages you click on so they drive up ad revenue. |

The name "pure wow" makes me question their decision-making processes right off the bat. |
Since when have zebra rugs been 'overdone'? I've certainly never seen one in real life; and barely any online. |
Oakley, lol!!! |
amberm nailed it -- click bait. I'm with patty_cakes, it reminds me of "trends" that fashionistas try to foist on the masses, only to have the items end up in landfills and scrap. (e.g., "meat dress" inspired fashion and the attempt to sell culottes for men). |
I didn't read the list. Are owls in or out, still? I "inherited" an owl macrame art/wall hanging my hubby made YEARS ago...it is in the garage...does this mean I have to hang in INSIDE?!! White appliances have ALWAYS been on the show floors. They have always been the #1 seller. Just a little FACT totally void of fashion opinion. I myself special ordered "off white" or what ever label they give it this year for my revamped kitchen. My kitchen, my choice. I just hope hope hope that whoever makes a change for what ever reason they LIKE the "new". It is double STUPID to spend good money on stuff, and not even like it!! |
I liked the short lived "bisque" and "biscuit" off white....both made brief appearances in the appliance world in the early 2000s. |

I am generally drawn to trends but rarely invest in any that are permanent. Pillows, yes, upholstered furniture, no. I really like that macrame piece shown there, like everything else, there are good and bad versions of everything. |
I am so excited!! I'd thought my decision to keep the avocado tub in the ugly duckling was just me being thrifty and goofy -- but now I suspect I am actually ahead of the trends! Woo Hoo! |
I am hopelessly, endlessly untrendy. I still love brass, polished or not, sterling silver, beautiful china. I suspect my living room that has mostly new furniture would never, ever be deemed as a pretty room but it certainly works for DH and myself. Even my new furniture looks old because I like burnished leather. I avoid trends like the plague but also think there are many trendy pieces that I love and would continue to love until they were out of favor and back in again. I just don't care enough to go out and buy something just because it's "in style" and from what I have seen on this forum I suspect the overwhelming majority here also love what they love no matter what anyone else thinks. One of the things that I love about this forum is the diversity of design and that we all have our own tastes and preferences and yet can totally appreciate a beautiful room even if it isn't to our taste. |

I think "overdone" is applicable to all of their examples. This happens with every popular item. First we see it at the artist studio or at a high-end store, then it is just a matter of time before we see it at Wal Mart. It becomes institutionalized. It irritates me when I go to buy something, like all new kitchen appliances, and my only real option is stainless steel. Or I want to buy some sandals with a two-inch heel and all I can find are flats or four-inch heels. Fashion dictates what we can and cannot buy. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Diane |

That's why I don't follow trendy decor. I like what I like and I think it's crazy to put in a trendy permanent feature in your home such as the kitchen cabinets that will be out of date in a few years. I've never gone of the stainless appliances....it's so yesterday...LMAO! |
Oh gracious! For the first time in my 58 years I am trendy!!! I have a Christmas cactus that has been growing like Kudzu and blooming non-stop since before Thanksgiving. I don't know what's up with it, except it must love my one south-facing window. I've been searching for a simple macramé pattern so I can reawaken my 70s' knotting skills. I want to make a knotted and stone beaded hanger so I can hang the Christmas cactus from the ceiling and let it drape about halfway down the 55" square window. It will display better when hung in mid-air, and it will free up needed real estate on my one plant table. |
I'm not planning to read the list. I don't run with that crowd anyway. Sounds like my white stove is off the chopping block. Out in my garage hangs a small macrame piece made by my husband's former girlfriend. I always liked it and it was a token sign that I didn't hate her. |
These trendy posts always remind me of the short Portlandia skit about hipsters and birds. I think someone may have posted it here before. Customers Only is really funny too. |

Bummer, I still having finished making the chevron curtains for the "playroom/office"...must press on so I can get them done and enjoy :-) |
I actually thought it was a pretty good article with respect to trend forecasting. I love trends!! I just think it's smart to restrict them to easily changed elements (paint, curtains, knick-knacks, etc.). I would have purchased white appliances if enameled ones were in the budget. I loathe the weird plasticky finishes on low-end appliances these days. I had the black "alligator"-finish fridge - UGH. So now we have all-stainless. |

We must support fair trade by buying this stuff that we abandoned decades ago, then send them some of our better things which can be copied and sold back to us in another generation at an exorbitant price. That is considered fair trade. |

I have to say that the stainless appliance trend has always been a sore spot for me. I see them as being the next avocado green or harvest gold. I mean WHITE will never go out of style in my book. I'm surprised that appliance companies haven't offered custom order painted to match your kitchen appliances at a hugely jacked up price because apparently everyone has some big pot of gold stashed in their back yard, that is everyone besides me! I sure can't afford to throw out perfectly good white appliances because stainless is the trend! My pot of gold has been mysteriously missing! BOO! |
My take on stainless is that it will never become harvest gold or avocado...simply because it is "neutral." It is like a plumbing fixture...just like a sink. White sinks look good, SS sinks look good, black sinks look good...whichever works best with your kitchen scheme. SS has been popular so long, I really think it has become just like white. Many of the other things listed have been popular such a short time (chevrons!) that I don't think they compare. My mantra...if they sell it at Home Goods...it's done. |
I always liked the off white appliances too. I like white but my color schemes are always warm, beiges so white doesn't go. I despise stainless but succumbed because I had no choice though at home I have wood paneled fridge and dishwasher so it's just the ovens and cooktop so not so bad. |
Nini, I have always said the exact same thing about Home Depot.....by the time it gets there it is OVER. |

I don't necessarily agree about Home Goods since they basically sell overstocks, but I do agree about trends in general. Short story - we were in Europe with our kids at the height of the Spice Girls craze, and my then 11-year old was a fan-atic. We saw what we then and now refer to as "Spice Girl Shoes" (basically high platform sneakers) in Rome - they were $75 and we bought them for her (the kind of thing you buy on vacation that you would never buy if you were at home). Anyway, by the time we got back to the US (less than a month later) the exact same shoes were at Payless for $19.99! |
I think the whole "trend" idea is a false one: Log on to any major, high end fabric manufacturer and you will be faced with literally thousands of colors, designs, materials. I always say, "if it is good enough for a zillionaire, it is good enough for me." Nothing is new under the sun, and everything that is done with quality and taste will last a long time. We all update through the years--upholstery is shot, get it re-upholstered. Lamp shades tear--buy a new one. We can keep things looking relatively fresh for decades. Unless you absolutely have no taste. Nothing to be done about that. It will look awful from the first day to the last. (on that thought--it is easy to pull together an outfit to wear. Go to the store and buy all the pieces that the designer put together for you. On the other hand, decorating a house requires many "moving parts." Much, much harder to do.) |

I a not a trendy person. I buy things because, I like them and so does DH! So I will continue to shop at (Home Goods even if things are there are done!) and even some other places like Walmart. Now anyone that does't like my taste, or the fact some things are "DONE", please feel free not to come to my home! By the way, I probably would not like your decorating, so never the twain shall meet. Sorry, If this sounds crabby, I didn't mean it like that! But, what is expensive and trendy today, is "DONE" by next year! Meant in the kindest way, written by a woman with a 48 year old toaster. Red |
I have none of the "in", "out", "overdone", OR "up and coming" items listed in that article. Haven't had macrame for over 35 years. I'm certain I have way more out-of-date items than trendy and am quite happy with that. I do enjoy reading about trends tho and am always thrilled when I have some 'on-trend' items that I've had for years. Keep things long enough and they may just return in popularity. Or not... who cares! LOL :D |
That's just frightening. They made me actually want to source a macramé wall hanging. Wow. Just wow. |
- Posted by SunnyCottage (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 10:38
but it's important to know when hip and edgy has become overdone and played out Why? What is that "important?" I can think of any number of things that do matter, and this isn't one of them. What a silly game. A silly money-making game. |
Wish I could find it now, but yesterday I saw either online or in a magazine a photo for a "three dimensional wall hanging." It was macrame! |
- Posted by antiqueannie (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 11:30
Not a trendy person, unique but not trendy just things that I love. In all actuality I am very unhappy when something I really like and use in my decor becomes a trend - I prefer to be unique. Also, once the trend is over, what was initially my unique style is just out of style. Thankfully none of the new trends are found in my home, so I am good to go for this year. That said I would never consider white appliances a trend. |
I had 25 people over for Easter brunch. Subtract out the men and that leaves 13/14 women. 4 of them had on chevron tops. I guess it's still a fad. My 1950's kitchen had a stainless cooktop and sink/drainboard. I think stainless is a timeless fad. I rarely see zebra rugs in real life. My neighbor has a huge ottoman covered with a very old zebra hide (nearly hairless) and it is something I'm envious of. A friend installed a vintage avocado toilet in their guest bath. I loved it. Her house is on houzz and I was going to link it but she changed out the toilet to white. So sad. I didn't do macrame or tie dye the first time and won't be doing it this time. I don't follow trends because by the time I decide to do "it" (whatever "it" is) the trend is over. I need a smiley face at the end of each of my sentences. :) |
The more I think about it, any person, site, store, group or organisation calling itself "Pure Wow" has no business decreeing anything. Except possibly their own prowess in choosing the Most Ridiculous name Ever. |
Wish there were a "LIKE" button. I'd be hitting it on many of these posts - and twice on kswl's. |

I enjoy reading these. We plan to replace our white appliances in the fall with stainless. The white is very jarring and my biggest complaint is they (mine really do) look cheap. Plasticy cheap. And they were inexpensive, but that's what's out there to the masses if you want that color. The high end white aren't in big box or mom and pop stores so I imagine they're out of budget for many. The back of my GE stove looks like a huge, rounded lump of plastic. I want to bust the back off and add 'substantial' knobs to the front. I actually like the look of the older white appliances better. They look better made and apparently are. Mom and dad's are still going strong! I do like the bisque ones over white. I love black, but it will be too heavy/harsh in my kitchen. I've always liked antlers, but real ones not painted. No macramé for me. Ha, the stainless appliances they show are the ones (at least the stove) we'll be buying. Butcher paper? Oh yeah? Tie dye? I feel like they're really stretching this one. I painted my bathroom navy color not long ago, but not because I was hopeful to be trendy. I'll be happy to see more color again and (rich) wood. |
I can't wait until the May issue of Traditional Home is online so I can post the "Decorating Bucket List" article. |
I like to look at new trends. I like to read about trends. I like to read about what other people think about trends. How boring it would be to never see fresh ideas. I think trends are (usually) started by interesting people who do interesting things. The homogenization of shopping seems to be manipulating some trends for profit. But that's what happens when billions are spent at big box retailers. |

The FIA announced on Friday that it is to set up a dedicated body to better co-ordinate its research into safety in motor sport. The FIA Motor Sport Safety Institute will, like its parent body, be based in Paris and run on the same non-profit basis.
The new body will be concerned with driver equipment, vehicle design, circuit design and spectator protection, rescue and medical facilities and race control. In all of these areas its aim will be to be research the best safety procedures, practices and technologies that can be applied to motor sport safety.
The Institute will also support the training of officials, circuit and race personnel in safety procedures, practices and the use of equipment, as well as monitor motor sport safety trends in order to identify research and regulation priorities.

The AAP divided
Observe the tensions between its elite leadership and subaltern membership
Arvind Kejriwal is all geared up to play David to Narendra Modi's Goliath in Varanasi. Even as Kejriwal has claimed that the Aam Aadmi Party will win a hundred seats in the Lok Sabha elections, the poll projections are near-unanimous in giving it less than five. Despite the Delhi verdict, this is not the sort of Tom and Jerry contest in which the underdog emerges a sure winner.
However impressive or dismal the performance of the AAP might eventually be, it is becoming evident that the broad coalition of social classes that the party had managed to forge has unravelled. Its support base among segments of its middle-class constituency has dwindled, and a very brief honeymoon has ended in disenchantment. This may not matter to the numbers, but it says something potentially significant about the possible longer-term impact of the AAP on Indian politics.
Early signs of this disillusionment became evident with the spectacle of the chief minister sitting on dharna by day and sleeping beside his Wagon R on the street by night. The vigilantism of the midnight raid in Khirki Extension raised questions about the Delhi government's commitment to upholding the law. Founder-member Madhu Bhaduri quit the AAP, accusing it of being a party with the mentality of a khap panchayat. Despite periodically voicing dissatisfaction with the "self-righteous arrogance" of the leadership, Captain G.R. Gopinath has stayed the course, declaring however that the AAP-effect on the two major parties has already worn off.
Indeed, many supporters of the AAP gave it a long rope, despite being perturbed by the stone pelting, the vandalising of opposition party offices and the frequent tendency to get into street fights. It is another matter that the major political parties have a reserve army of foot soldiers to do such dirty work, from which their top leadership keeps aloof. Compared to them, the AAP still retains some of its freshness and distinctiveness: it remains a solo act without any dynastic baggage, fighting an election with modest resources and without being bankrolled by big industrial houses.
However, whether in spite of or because of the erosion of some of its middle-class support, the AAP may unwittingly be, in the medium to long run, the harbinger of a politics that speaks to the widening class divide in Indian society. The party has emphatically and unabashedly adopted a patois of the street. It has chosen to express itself through a democratic idiom that self-consciously distances itself from the language of parliamentary and TV studio discourse (with all the necessary caveats about these).
There was an earlier moment, in the 1980s, when the political mobilisation of the backward castes made our legislatures much more representative of social diversity. The continued…

Progressive Rock (284 comments)
I guess there must be many other geeks out there
who are also into progressive rock...?
Among other rockers I noticed that the proggers
are usually seen as the "geeks of rock" because
we're so "detailistic" (does this word exist
in English?), always going for complex,
technical music.
Ends up hapenning that being a computer geek I
feel the same when "normal" people refer to

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Most of the time when you research content management systems you'll hear a tremendous amount about the management side of things and almost nothing about the content itself. Now unfortunately, this is a result of CMSs being designed to view content as a simple commodity, just another asset to be ingested and moved along a predefined path. I mean with some CMSs you could be managing cupcakes, or paperclips, or red staplers. At any rate, for your CMS implementation to be successful, you need to go beyond just planning on how content should be managed to having a strategy for your content itself.
This growing field is known, for obvious reasons, as content strategy. And if you're going to commit to the effort of assessing your content workflows and processes, you should also take the time to review how your organization creates the actual content itself. Taking time to define a content strategy means that you're going to put plans in place to not only govern the creation, usage, and publishing of content, but to determine what type of content you'll create and what makes that content useful to your organization.
Every individual, organizational, or corporate web site has a goal. This might be to inform, educate, sell a product, or generate interest in a cause. In some cases there will be multiple goals, related or not, that help to form the site's focus. In order to properly plan content, you should clearly list these goals and then prioritize them. Once this is complete, it's a lot easier to review your content by asking how well the content matches or serves these goals. From there, you can concentrate on refining your focus by defining your content's key message, the themes you need it to convey, and then create guidelines for the purpose content should serve.
This can be used to create what's called a content strategy framework. Authors and content creators can use this framework to help them create meaningful content that serves the goals of your site and stays on message. This framework can include style guides, publishing policies, metadata structure, article relationships, SEO terms and policies, and even guidelines on the types of authors necessary to create the right type of content. Although we're going to talk about this in more detail later, your content strategy will be a guiding factor in your content lifecycle.
These are policies that guide how content is collected, where content fits on your web site, and how long it's going to stay there. A good content strategy will also direct what type of content needs archiving and how long it lives on the site before it's replaced or archived. Content strategy shouldn't be simply subject based either. It should also include policies on distribution channels, marketing campaigns, and when and how content should be repurposed. Now we'll talk more about that a little later on when we discuss controlling content lifecycle. Finally, your content strategy should contain rules for analyzing content to determine whether it's effective, whether it's placement on the site is optimal, and whether related content should be created to broaden its effect.
Now I know that's a lot to digest. I also realize that not every organization or site needs a content strategy quite to the level of the one I've just described. I'm also betting that more of that than a few of you said, "Yeah right, like we have time to quantify all of that." Now granted, taking a step back and reviewing and defining your content strategy takes time, but make no mistake, you already have one. Your content creators, editors, and publishers already make decisions based on the quality of the content, its relevance, and other factors.
The question you really need to ask yourself is this: is it a good one? And does it produce the kind of content that will create compelling user experiences? Or perhaps, you can think about it this way: what's the point of go into the trouble of reviewing workflows, researching content management systems, and implementing a CMS, if all you're going to put through that is useless red staplers?

I have a sunroom off the living room. Our home is a split level and the sunroom is on the ground floor with all glass sliding doors on all three walls. Can I add a fireplace to a wall of glass sliding doors? Would a zero clearance fireplace work? Would this involve alot of $$$ work? Are there any other cheaper options that might work? And about how much can I expect it to cost. I live in Delaware. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This may not work for you but here you go...In our recently sold house I lost my fireplace to DH's massive tv when we were building. A couple years ago I added a biofuel fireplace to a built in that used to house a built-in saltwater fish tank. I modified the built-in with tile on the cabinet top and added glass shelves. Anyways, I purchased a biofuel fireplace from lagunawaterworks.com. It was going to be very expensive to add a regular fireplace and gas lines. These units are self contained and run off biofuel that you pour into them. I had a wonderful fireplace for less than $1000. Plus the government was running a 30% tax rebate for buying a biofuel fireplace. Bio fuel fireplaces are used alot in Europe and are realatively new here in the states. With them, you can add a fireplace just about anywhere. Mine gave off great heat, nice flame and had about a 4 hour burn time with one fill. I included the link below to the biofuel fireplaces. There are many shapes and sizes. |
Here is a link that might be useful: biofuel fireplaces
Thanks! They look really neat and contemporary! |

Specifically looking at the models KGSS907PSS for the range and KDTE404DPSS for the dishwasher. They are the stainless models with the "pro-style" handle. Looking to replace my old, white appliances with these and really having a tough time making some decisions. The range looks like it "might" be underpowered in the burner area with only one semi-powerful burner. Any thoughts on either of these appliances? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I recently bought the dishwasher, and love it so far! Super quiet, and it has a heated dry setting so dishes come out dry as well as clean! :) I can't help you on the range, as I have a Bluestar, which I could not live without.... |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 17:40
I have the dishwasher as well. Agree with ctycdm, it is VERY quiet. I pretty much wash my dishes before loading the DW, so I can't comment on how well it cleans. It does dry them nicely, though! The little covers on the flatware containers that allow you to keep the pieces separated are a bit of a pain and have a tendency to fall off. And don't be fooled into thinking the DW has a stainless steel interior, as it is just stainless-colored plastic (retracted: the tub is stainless, the door is plastic). |
This post was edited by jellytoast on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 19:40
Stainless colored plastic? That's a new one. You sure about that? Prewashing or even just prerinsing is not only a waste of water, it can lead to permanent etching. |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Wed, Jun 11, 14 at 19:38
Stainless colored plastic? That's a new one. You sure about that? I thought I was, but I went in and looked again. The interior of the door appears to be stainless colored plastic, at least that's what it looks and feels like. The tub itself feels different and is stainless steel according to their website. |
I just purchased the KA freestanding range and can say its a disappointment. The burners just dont work well and over all it seems cheaply made. The service tech is coming out due to a scratch on the range and the fact that the knobs get burning hot anytime you use the over for over 30 mins. I think you have many more options at a nice range given the amount you want to spend. |

Hedge Funds
Hedge Fund Manager Settles For 7% Return On House He Owned For Seven Months
By Jon ShazarScott Bommer doesn't like to stay in one place for too long, even if he did just buy that place for a then-Hamptons record $75 million in December—not when there's a $93.9 million opportunity just down the road from it. Unfortunately, the SAB Capital Management founder is going to have to pay for some of that himself, as the market for Wooldon Manor was not quite as strong as he hoped.
The Wooldon Manor estate in New York's Southampton, which hedge-funder Scott A. Bommer bought for $75 million last year from fashion designer Vince Camuto, has sold again in two separate transactions totaling more than $80 million.
The 14.5-acre parcel overlooking Lake Agawam had been listed for $98 million by the Corcoran Group's Tim Davis and Harald Grant and Ed Petrie of Sotheby's International Realty….
Last year Mr. Bommer, the founder of hedge fund SAB Capital, and his wife, Donya, paid a then-record $75 million to buy Wooldon Manor from Mr. Camuto. But only a few months later, Mr. Bommer decided to purchase three East Hampton parcels for a total of $93.9 million; he put Wooldon Manor back on the market in March. Mr. Bommer couldn't be reached for comment.

That's a lotta Lime Ricky's
The thing I find most astonishing about this article is that there is someone who designs clothes for a living who can afford a house of any sort anywhere.
He built Nine West into the global brand that it is. What have you done?

Yes, and James Perse can't possible be putting food on the table selling $90 t-shirts.

Creating a Shopping Basket
I'm trying to create a shopping basket for an application I've been developing. A user will click onto a product and within that product there will be a list of sub products they can buy. The application needs to allow the user to be abel to purchase multiple sub products with one go and this is where I'm having difficulty.
I've used an asp:Literal to render the sub products details and input boxes so they can specify the quantity of each they would prefer.
The problem I'm having is I'm not sure how to write the code to check what the user has added to the basket once they've clicked the update button. How do I run through the boxes and determine which ones have a quantity in them instead of the default 0?

Well built course on open and wooded terrain. The to go maps of the course need some work as hose have changed. First time play was confusing and we could not find hole 4. Good course but signs need some work.

Wait til the fall when the temperatures are in the mid 80s during the day. About 2.5 months before your first frost. They'll hold over the winter and bloom next spring. |

Would you suggest this for all perennials? Or, should i start some right now? I wouls love to get a head start,and over winter them in pots,would this work? cAROL |
- Posted by token28001 zone7 NC (My Page) on Fri, May 29, 09 at 1:12
Carol, I started rudbeckia, shastas, and a couple other perennials last fall. They're 4' tall and about to bloom today. Don't see why it wouldn't work. I used containers in full shade and potted them into small cups for the winter. You might need more winter protection in your area, so I would put them in the ground instead. Here, we toss out poppy, larkspur, and other early spring bloomers in the fall. Some germinate and hold over the winter, others germinate in early spring. |
I spring and summer sow several perennials and plant them out in late fall. It's a lot of fun. I don't like overwintering things in pots, but I have done it. |
I was just looking up the germination temp on tom clothier (it's 65 degrees), because I didn't get any sprouts this year. I'm going to try spring sowing. Token, you're in the south, where winter is actually a growing season. I've had a lot of small seedlings die over the winter, unless I "zone-6 them" with the hoop house or coldframe. If I can sprout it now, those babies can really use the warmth and sunshine of the summer months. I'm now pretty leery of fall-sowing. |

Quoted from JJR A gal I know is taking something called A-L complex and I guess that's supposed to help your immune system. And then my Doctors assistant has been dealing with this for a long time and she's taking something called a "Transfer Factor" now and I guess it's been cleaning out her liver. I am also super sensitive to sugar. I can't eat anything that has too much sugar. I do eat fruits, and they're fine.
Quoted from Ribbit ...but it reminded me that I'm better than I was. I don't like being like this.I can't think.I can't remember anything.
Quoted from JJR Somebody had started a thread that I thought was interesting and I'm curious as if any of you have this symptom. Do you ever get muscle twitches and stuff? I've been getting one on my left arm for quite a while on a somewhat regular basis. Not like all the time but it happens at least once a day. And sometimes my stomach will twitch. Almost like the vegas nerve is unsettled. I have gotten that after doing something more strenuous than I should have maybe. Which doesn't take much lately. last time it happened was about 3 months ago and I was taking the oil filter off of the riding lawn mower. It took all my strength to loosen it and it threw me for a loop for that afternoon and my stomach gets all twitchy. And I get cold. Does that happen with anyone else?Seems to me like that's a neurological symptom. I don't know. I used to lay down at night and just feel my stomach twitching all over the place. But back then it wasn't necessarily because I over did it. It just happened a lot.
Quoted from JJR Nowishow, that was a great post and I got a lot out of it. I was wanting to study up on the A-L complex and you gave me the link!!! Ask and ye shall receive. I'm going to run those past my doctor also.One thing I'm having a challenge doing lately is keeping my spleen cleansed. It seems like when I kill the stuff, my spleen hurts and lymph gets sluggish. Lemons are bothering my stomach. I did juice some carrots and am trying to keep hydrated. And I made some broth the other day, but it seemed like it wasn't sitting right with me. So I haven't had too much. Any other ideas?
Quoted from JJR I have this thing where I can't figure out the words I want to say right away sometimes. And I'm like Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I don't know if that's this deal, or just life in general. I'll be saying a prayer for you. But yeah, yesterday the pain in my knees was worse than I've ever had it before and my feet too have even felt kind of hot at times. Which is kind of weird for me. I swear it's something in the air this year.
Quoted from JJR I haven't supplemented magnesium for a while. My body is not wanting it. I don't think. I think it's something else. Possibly.
Quoted from JJR NowIshow, thank you so much for linking these formulas and the information. I'm really thankful you took the time to do that. I'm asking my Doctor about them and we may order them. They didn't know about them. They look like they could be potent. Does your doctor use antibiotics with these? A gal I know is doing both.

I received the red/red last week love it,I am amazed that Huck n roll went out of business with gear like this.I have used the jersey a couple of rides.looking to get the charcoal next,good quality smart looks,buy before they are gone great prices.
Uncle Mr Bill

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought one of each color from HuckNRoll before they were bought out. I got them abt. four months ago and they are hands down my favorite jersey !!! I do a lot of trail riding and don't all ways wear elbow pads but when I do there is plenty of room under these jersey's. I paid forty something back when I bought them and thought that was a great price, at this sale price it is almost criminal not to buy one. I will get a couple more just so I have them. BUY THIS JERSEY !!!! you will not be disappointed.
Chad Cordell
Great Jersey
This is a great breathable downhill jersey. The red one looks great too. Also accommodates pads great.
Awesome Jersey
I grabbed this jersey in each of the available colors mostly because they were cheap, but also because I loved the design of the cream/charcoal colored one. I didn't think I would be a fan of the red jersey but I added it since you get free shipping over $50 thinking I would just use it when it was muddy out. But in person the red jersey looks much better than the pics, not nearly as loud as the pics make it look and the cream/charcoal one looks just as great as I expected. Both fit pretty loose and hang down far enough to cover you on the bike. The cuffs fit a little tighter than I like, but they will stretch and its not something that ruins the jersey. Hope these being on sale isn't a sign that H&R isn't making their own gear anymore because these are great and I want more stuff with the Howler Monkey on it! At this price I think Ill be buying a couple more.
Shirt's fine. Logo? Not so much.
I have no problem with the jersey... it's just the type I like to wear. However, the photo only shows it from the front. The back has a big-ass (literally) Huck-n-Roll logo including the ape! It's not a deal breaker, but I wish it were otherwise.
Lee Hoffman
thats what Ilike about it
review flagged as an awful photo. . Click here to view.
Good brand, good material. Breaths well and sweat doesn't stick around too long. Good baggy fit without armor.
Christopher Smith
Style and Quality
I really like this jersey. The description is spot-on when it says that the jersey is sized for body armor underneath. If you don't wear shoulder pads and don't like baggy clothes, you may want to size down. For me, the arms are long when not on the bike but perfect when in a riding position. The fabric is thick and feels durable. The color I got was cream/charcoal and I like it enough that I'm considering getting a second jersey in red.
Shawn Craig
Solid Jersey
This a good Jersey that breaths well. I prefer long sleeve jerseys and this one fits the bill. Also, as noted in the other review, the cream/charcoal looks great.
J Baker
Awesome colors!
Got the cream/charcoal jersey and it is loose and comfortable but the stand out feature is the aquamarine highlights on the collar and wrists. There is also very subtle threading with the same color on the pleats. Big thumbs up!

I was in my first FLCT show at age 8 as Nate in Nate the Great. I was a small child who knew nothing about the world of theater and where my place was in it. For the past 7 years I have learned, grown, and not only found my place, but found my family at FLCT. I attribute finding my passion and future to my family at FLCT. All I can hope is that others can find a love for theater like I have found, and have a great time doing it.

A stalled vehicle has a lane blocked on eastbound 94 at the Lowry Hill Tunnel. The stackup begins at Broadway.
The worst traffic is on southbound 35W. A crash at Hennepin Avenue has cleared, but the residual backup extends all the way back to Hwy. 10. It's close to 30 minutes from Lino Lakes to downtown Minneapolis.
That's also creating bumper to bumper conditions on westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to 35W. Plan on 15 minutes there.
Eastbound Hwy. 212 remains a parking lot as crews work to clear a rollover accident at Shady Oak Road. Plan on 15 minutes coming in from Mitchell Road.
Westbound 494 is plugged up from Cedar Avenue to 35W. ANd you'll find building levels on northbound 35W from the Crosstown to 94.

Playing dirty at the dog show?
Police have filed animal cruelty charges against a Pennsylvania man who allegedly drugged a competitor's Siberian husky at a dog show in Wheaton.
Ralph Ullum, 68 of Claysville, was attending a kennel club show in December at the DuPage County Fairgrounds with his girlfriend, whose Siberian husky, Diana, was entered in the competition.
He's accused of feeding Protonix and possibly Benadryl to a competing husky, named Pixie, NBC in Chicago reported.
Pixie's handler, Jessica Plourde of Newark Valley, N.Y., noticed a crushed pink pill near Pixie's cage on the second day of competition, according to police. Later, witnesses came forward saying they had seen Ullum feeding and petting Pixie while Plourde was away from the cage
A veterinarian induced vomiting in Pixie and found a rubber band, dog food, chicken pieces and an undigested Protonix pill. Protonix is used to treat acid reflux and heartburn. Wheaton police say the pink crushed pill found near Pixie's cage is believed to be Benadryl, an over the counter allergy medicine that can cause drowsiness.
Ullum denied feeding anything to Pixie, but said he did pet her.
His hearing on misdemeanor cruelty to animals charges is scheduled for June.

Best in Show? A Scottish deerhound
A Scottish deerhound named Hickory was awarded best in show last night at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in Madison Square Garden.
It was the breed's first best in show win at Westminster.
Hickory — full name Foxcliffe Hickory Wind – beat out the other finalists: a Pekingese, a Shar-pei, a bearded collie, a black cocker spaniel, a Portuguese water dog and a smooth fox terrier.
"Over the moon," is how owner Cecilia Dove described the win. "This is the first deerhound to ever win at the Garden. She's in an elite group of one. "
Hickory's best in show comes after finishing third in her group last year, which her handler, Angela Lloyd blamed on big-city jitters. "This dog isn't used to cities or venues this size. It is used to chasing squirrels and deer all day on a big farm," she said.
Hickory lives on Dove's farm, outside Warrenton, Va.
"She's got everything," Paolo Dondina, a judge from Monterchi, Italy, said after picking Hickory. "The movement, the presence. It's a dog for the big show."
Hickory, according to Bloomberg.com, is named after a bluegrass song by John Duffey. Hickory succeeds Sadie, a black Scottish terrier who won Westminster last year.
About 2,600 canines from 179 breeds competed in the two-day event.
The Scottish deerhound breed dates to the 16th century, when it was used for pursuing and killing deer, and could be owned by "no one of rank lower than an earl," according to the American Kennel Club website.
Lloyd, Hickory's handler, said the 5-year-old, 85-pound dog loves the spotlight.
"She's constantly making sure she's getting attention," Lloyd said.
Like all Westminster winners, she'll be getting plenty of that in the days ahead, before retiring to Dove's farm in Virginia.
Here's a video of her first round win — she's the third one to strut — over two other Scottish deerhounds.

Westminster Dog Show: An opposing view
If the following take on Westminster reads like its coming from some PETA hothead that's because it is.
Then agains, hotheads are sometimes worth listening to.
Lindsay Pollard-Post is a staff writer for The PETA Foundation, and her remarks appeared in the form of a guest column in the Sacramento Bee.
Pollard-Post recounts watching Westminster in her youth, usually with a bad case of strep throat, and with her dog Katie at her side…
"But had I known then that Westminster – and the dog-breeding industry that it props up – share the blame for the mutilation and deaths of millions of dogs each year, I would have changed the channel faster than you can say 'Sesame Street.'
"Back then, I had no idea that the snub-nosed bulldogs and pugs prancing around the ring may have been gasping for breath the whole time because these breeds' unnaturally shortened airways make exercise and sometimes even normal breathing difficult. I didn't know that the "wiener dogs" that made me laugh as their little legs tried to keep up may have eventually suffered from disc disease or other back problems because dachshunds are bred for extremely long spinal columns. I didn't learn until much later that because of inbreeding and breeding for distorted physical features, approximately one in four purebred dogs suffers from serious congenital disorders such as crippling hip dysplasia, blindness, deafness, heart defects, skin problems and epilepsy.
"I remember feeling shocked when I learned that Doberman pinschers' ears naturally flop over, and that their ears only stand up because they are cut and bound with tape when the dogs are puppies. And I felt sick to my stomach when I discovered that cocker spaniels have beautiful, long, flowing tails, but American Kennel Club breed standards call for their tails to be amputated down to nubs. The American Veterinary Medical Association says that these procedures 'are not medically indicated nor of benefit to the patient' and they 'cause pain and distress.'
"… Like many people, I hadn't made the connection that every time someone buys a purebred dog from a breeder or a pet store, a dog in a shelter – a loving animal whose life depends on being adopted – loses his or her chance at a home …
"Dog shows also encourage viewers to go out and buy purebred dogs like the ones they see on TV from breeders or pet stores. This impulse buying robs shelter dogs of homes, and even more dogs end up homeless when overwhelmed people discover that the adorable puppy they bought ruins carpets, needs expensive vaccinations and food and requires their constant attention.
"My own parents succumbed to the lure of purebreds: They purchased Katie from a breeder. Katie was an exceptional dog and my best friend, but it saddens me to think that other loving dogs waiting behind bars in shelters missed out on a good home because we thought we needed a certain breed of puppy.
"Thankfully, some things have changed. After Katie passed away, my parents adopted a lovable mutt from the local shelter. I haven't had strep throat since I was a teenager. And if the dreaded illness strikes again, you'll find me cuddling on the couch with my rescued dog, Pete, watching movies – not Westminster."

New dog park planned in Salisbury
Construction will begin this summer in Salisbury, Maryland on a new dog park, expected to be named after a local dog lover whose family has donated most of the money to build it.
The park will be built on an undeveloped portion of the City Park off North Park Drive, behind the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center's parking lot.
The project is expected to cost about $30,000, DelmarvaNow.com reported.
The park will have 14,000 square feet of open space for large dogs and a separate section of 8,000 square feet for small dogs.
Plans call for the fenced-in park to be named in honor of Martha Frances "Francie" Jarman Tilghman, one of the founders of the Salisbury Maryland Kennel Club,
a past president of the Humane Society of Wicomico County and an advocate for Pets on Wheels.
Her husband, M.W. "Bill" Tilghman, and son, M.W. "Mat" Tilghman Jr., donated $25,000 for the dog park, city offiicials said.
Tilghman bred and showed poodles, dachshunds and Shelties, and also counseled hundreds of people through the Kennel Club's breeding referral program, family members said.

Wales bans electric shock collars
Electric shock collars have been banned in Wales.
Under the ban — the first in the UK – owners who zap their dogs for misbehaving face a fine of up to £20,000 or six months in prison.
Around 500,000 electric collars are in use in the UK, including some 20,000 in Wales, the Daily Mail reported.
Pet welfare groups, including the RSPCA and the Kennel Club, say the electronic devices cause unnecessary pain and suffering, and that they'd like to see the ban extended across Britain.
Proponents of the collars say they can improve the behavior of dogs that would otherwise be put down, train excitable pets to stop running into traffic and stop them from worrying sheep or inflicting other damage. Banning the collars, they say, could lead to shelters being inundated with unmanageable pets.
The RSPCA counters that, rather than using pain and punishment to train dogs, pet owners should use rewards such as treats and balls. It called The Welsh Assembly's decision "a historic day for animal welfare."
"'Wales has proven it is truly leading the way," Kennel Club Secretary Caroline Kisko said, "and we hope the rest of the UK will follow by example to outlaw these cruel and unnecessary devices."

Mario Lopez out as Westminster co-host
With only two weeks remaining before the big event, the USA Network has announced that Mario Lopez is out as co-host of the 134th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
Tamron Hall is in.
On Friday the network announced that MSNBC's Hall would be replacing Lopez as the co-host of Westminster, America's second longest continuously held sporting event (behind only the Kentucky Derby).
"It saddens me to say I will not be able to co-host this year's Westminster Kennel Club dog show, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts," Lopez said. "I wish Tamron, David and all the dogs the best of luck. I will be cheering you all on from LA."
"I've been a dog lover my entire life," said Hall. "I currently have two furry 'best friends' in my family, and I can't wait for the show. I'm honored to be given the opportunity to join this team."
Hall will be co-hosting the event with David Frei in his 21st consecutive year with the show. NBC Sports' Tiffany Simons will also appear as a sideline reporter.
The first hour of the show will air on USA at 8 p.m. Monday, February 15.
The next two hours will air on CNBC, from 9 to 11 p.m. On Tuesday, all three hours, including the crowning of the 2010 Best in Show, is back on USA, from 8-11 p.m.

Report calls for changes in breeding practices
An independent investigation launched after a BBC documentary raised concerns about purebred breeding practices concludes the health of many animals is being put at risk by some breeders.
Britain's Kennel Club and Dogs Trust funded the inquiry, which looked at puppy farms, inbreeding, and breeding for extreme features.
Cambridge University professor Sir Patrick Bateson, who is president of the Zoological Society of London, said the report concludes that conditions of some puppy farms was "not good" and "probably in breach of the Animal Welfare Act".
Also, the report says, some breeders were responsible for "too much" inbreeding, creating "all sorts of health problems," such as the "very big head of the bulldog" that necessitated about 90% of them giving birth through Caesarian section, according to the BBC.
The Kennel Club and Dogs Trust funded the independent inquiry after concerns highlighted in the 2008 BBC documentary, "Pedigree Dogs Exposed," which reported that breeders, in an attempt to meet Kennel Club standards and win dog shows, exaggerated the features of breeds at the expense of dogs' health.
The BBC report, which led the Royal SPCA to pull out of Crufts, said many physical traits called for by the Kennel Club's breed standards, such as short faces and dwarfism, led to inherent health problems.
The Kennel Club, which runs Crufts, changed many of its breed standards in January 2009 to exclude "anything that could in any way be interpreted as encouraging features that might prevent a dog breathing, walking and seeing freely."
Specific changes included calling for leaner, less wrinkly bulldogs; shortening the forelegs of German shepherds which, through breeding, had gotten overly long and weak; and less fluffy coats on chow chows so they wouldn't become distressed in hot weather.
Judges at licensed dog shows were instructed to choose only the healthiest dogs as champions, and expel any dogs that showed signs of ill-health from the Crufts show.

I'm 14 years old, a very responsible one, at that. I've gotten in trouble with having sex in the past and now I'm thinking about having a baby. I understand that I'm too young but I know how to take care of one. I've been taking care of kids just about my whole life. But I'm just wondering, is it weird or slutty to know that I want a baby? I need help really bad. Btw, I don't want to hear all of the negative things.
I have been in a long distance relationship for about 7 months. We were never official, but all the feelings were there between the two of us. Neither of us wanted it to end but we did so anyways, because of money and distance.
Now I regret it, and he's just doing what he thinks is right, not what he wants. We have so much in common and we both agreed when we are with each other it makes it all worth it. HELP! What do I do? How do I move on? He wants me to be the one he runs to, and he wants to be the one I run to. He also still wants to fly me out there and still see me. And we both say the two of us never kissing is hard to deal with. I'm at a loss.
Today is my birthday.
If you've been a reader here for more than a year or two, you might have noticed that some years, I ask for something for my birthday here, and not usually something that's a thing, like a pony, a fire hoop, a scooter with a sidecar for my little dog, or a life-sized Fozzie Bear I could tell bad jokes to while going wokka-wokka (though I'd oh-so-gladly accept all of those things, for the record).
If and when I have a birthday where I blow out candles, the wish I make when I do is usually something around positive social change, and often positive social change in regard to sexuality. In a word, what I usually really, really want for my birthday is for people to have happier, healthier sexual lives, to feel better about sex and whatever their sexualities are, and to be more accepting and supportive of the diverse sexualities of all people.
One of the very biggest problems we have in most of our cultures and communities around sex and sexuality is silence, secrecy
Read more...I'm 19 and I've never even been kissed. No guy has ever shown any interest in me in that way. I am so tired of waiting. I feel like I'm missing out on this huge part of life, like there's this line separating me. I think part of the reason might be that I don't go to parties and things like that. But I don't know what to do about that, I don't have many friends that are into that scene and the one friend who is, I don't want to go with because I would just end up standing awkwardly in the corner.
I'm an introvert and I just don't know what to do. People see me as the cute innocent girl, but I don't think I could be any more interested in sex. I'm constantly reading smutty romance novels and I love learning about sex. I feel like I'm going to end up knowing too much considering I'm a virgin or I'm going to be freaked out because I've waited too long.
I don't celebrate most holidays, but I've always been a fan of New Year's. New Year's Day, actually, more than New Year's Eve. I relish fresh starts and new beginnings.
I even like New Year's resolutions. I know, they're cliche, and that much of the time, when we make them, we don't stick with them or know where that list is come February. But even just the practice of taking stock of where we've been and where we're at, thinking about what we want for ourselves and our lives in a new year; thinking out or writing down ideas or mantras to help support us in living the life we want? I'm a big fan of that kind of self-evaluation, meditation and positive affirmation.
However, so much of the time, the leading words in resolution lists look a whole lot like these:
Obviously, none of that's exactly the language of shiny beginnings. They're negatives, rather than positives. But even more so, those are

As I've stated in a number of post previously, I have attained a nice brown tone with Ilford FB warm tone developed in Zonal Pro Warm tone developer, then afterwards toned in Kodak Selenium toner 1:9 for about 4 minutes.
You don't see much color shift until you go into the selenium. It has a chocolate colored tone. The color of the tone seems to relate to the dilution of the Zonal Pro. I use it at 1:6.

Title I is a federally funded program which provides services to schools based on student economic needs. Title I is the largest Federal Assistance Program for our nation's schools. The goal is to provide a high-quality education for every child, so the program provides extra help to students who need it most. These students are the furthest from meeting the standards the state has set for all children.
On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed into law the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. This new law represents the education reform plan and contains the most sweeping changes to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act since it was enacted in 1965.
Further information on NCLB (No Child Left Behind) and AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) and can be found on the Georgia Department of Education's web site, www.doe.k12.ga.us.

Being Intentional
posted 12/15/2014
I used to work a full-time corporate job as a web developer. It was never my plan to have that job, it just kind of happened. While I don't regret that entry on my resume, it never really felt right. For years I fought the uneasy feeling that it wasn't the career for me. The money was good and I liked my co-workers, so I decided I would just make do. more
