Hello all! We are in the process of deciding on the final design of the fireplace in our great room and I'm in need of advice!
The current plan is to put ledgestone on all three sides of the fireplace up to the mantel and then drywall above that with the ceiling being 18' high in that room. The TV will go above the mantel on the drywalled part. We originally envisioned stone all the way up but that's not going to happen at this point. Anyway, the question has to do with the built-in cabinets/shelves that we would like to install on both sides of the fireplace. They won't actually be "built-in" but rather bookcase style pieces that will be ordered from a cabinet company with doors on the bottom and open shelving on top. The options we are looking at are 84" high units that are either 12" or 21" deep.The fireplace box is 24" deep. The concern is how to go about placing stone on the side of the fireplace with the cabinets being there. Since the cabinets will be higher than the mantel, would it look bad to have stone meet up with the cabinets to the point where the mantel is and then drywall from there? We have been told that we should just do stone on the front face of the fireplace and it would be drywall on the sides. I think only having stone on the front would cheapen the overall look of the fireplace and really want to figure out a way to have it on the sides as well. I'm just not sure how to do it! Also, any thoughts on whether we should go with the 12" or 21" deep cabinets? Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
How wide are the units on either side of the fireplace? I think you are fine with stopping the stone at the mantel and drywalling above, but think it is more a question of putting the stone on just the face. If you can somehow make the stone join up with your cabinetry and hide the gap at the top, then absolutely just stone the front. If its a large space, you may need to do the sides and just make you hearth wider (if you are having one). I think I would go with the deeper cabinet from a storage standpoint and because you wouldn't have to fill in with as much stone. We are doing a very similar look and I will post a pic as soon as our cabinetry is installed. |
Thanks for your thoughts cvtxmama! The cabinets we are looking at will be 36" wide. |

Chatterbox, Ep. 6: Hat's Off to Running With Knives
by Debra Puchalla in Community, July 18, 2010Maybe it was Frank Sinatra's swank piano-shaped pool or the breezy Palm Springs air. After teetering along in past weeks, as Bob Tuschman said, Brad the Tin Man got his joints oiled, showing off a newfound swagger. As he wrapped up his reinvention of chicken cordon bleu, he sprinted across Sinatra's lawn with a knife (don't try this at home!) to finish on time, but then was cool as a Rat Packer before the Selection Committee, Ted Allen of Chopped and Food Network Magazine's Maile Carpenter. Fans chatting with us liked what they saw--though the jury's still out on the Justin Timberlake lookalike's "Pro" moniker. Former finalist and funny guy Adam Gertler, host of the sweet new show Kid in a Candy Store, stopped by to chat again, this time not only, ahem, complimenting Serena's pout but also sharing his awe at Susie's perfect hair. Don't doubt it, Mr. G, it's coiffed daily in a way that dazzles. Less perfect were performances by Aarti, Herb and Brianna. Unfortunately, Brianna's distaste for tuna noodle casserole showed even after she amped up her own version with crab and Brie. Poor diva downer--if she had gotten a different dish or minded her toasty 'shrooms, would she still be around? Smart cooking tips and techniques, creativity, salesmanship and a positive point of view aren't too much to ask more than halfway through the competition. (Who's doing all of the above best? Vote for your favorite finalist daily.) Check out the chat archive below, then watch our vlogs to see what Bobby would have done differently this week and what Bob, Susie and Giada had to say about what and who got burned--and whose cooking simply sings.

Even though Brianna was my least favorite contestant, I was shocked that she was the one to be eliminated tonight. Both Herb and Serena made bad food and weren't impressive in their presentations. At least Brianna's food tasted good! I was so glad to see Brad win - I like him more and more every week. My former favorite (Aria) seems to be slipping into mediocrity and Aarti was pretty much a disaster with her "devilish" egg dish and the curry thing she made. My new "least favorite" is the ANNOYING Serena! I hope she doesn't win, because I'll never watch her show.
I agree completly. Also I do not trust Serena's cooking skills. She has shown me nothing!
I'm still mad about Paul's comment about Home Cooks, does he not realize that most of the people watching the Food Network are "just" Home Cooks? I really hope he is eliminated, what a nasty attitude.
Other than that I am enjoying the show-
he has was eliminated last week
Paul was just not a well thought persona...I am hoping in "real life" there is someone else.
he kind of looked like "sloth" from Goonies -
Paul was just not a well thought persona...I am hoping in "real life" there is someone else.

(I can't believe I'm...first? wow!)
Tonight's episode: BRAD was Totally Rad!
LOTS to say:
AARTI: While Aarti has made alot of tasty food. I could already tell before it was over tonight that Aarti doesn't seem to do that well under "speed pressure". She even said this was the most chaotic its ever been. Other cooks seem to handle it better.ARIA: I woulda thought, that after PAUL making the wrong dish, or, making something OTHER than what was asked for, that no one else woulda made the same mistake after Paul. But tonight seemed to me like Aria "pulled another Paul" by not quite making what was asked for.
HERB: I've been wanting to forgive Herb for his nerves and inconsistency....but was disappointed that tonight he seemed to lack focus/direction. The judges seemed confused over his food. From the LOOKS of Herb's food, I had thought it was gonna be really great. Herb also needs to better explain his food and why the way he makes this or that dish is good. He is not selling the viewers on his cooking.
BRIANNA: Well, what can I say? There was certainly plenty of posts/messages on these forums saying people are not wild about her. In fairness to Brianna, she DID makes excellent stuff, several times. But she lost it on communication/attitude.
SERENA: She HAS slowed down. Good. Tonight, I am beginning to wonder if she has enough technical know-how with the food. Maybe she does. It may have just been a not-so-good night. Even so, I am still holding out hope for Serena as I still think she is doing better that Aria or Herb.
TOM: Tom and Brad were the two big stars tonight. TOM was quite relaxed and conversational. Maybe more-so than Brad, (slightly)...BUT---Tom's admited he forgot to oil the grill or the wrack and the Lobster was "massacred". Wasnt that the word he used? And I remember thinking when I saw that: "Brad, would not have made that mistake"...which leads me to: . . .
BRAD: THIS was the Brad I was hoping for! LAST week I was thinking: "This is it. He either pulls it out next time or he's gone." And tonight, BRAD did even better than I hoped for. I dunno how he did it, or where it came from, but tonight is someone I could watch week after week. Some details:
1. Brad's food: like Sinatra, Brad did it his way---and it turned out Fabulous! The food has to come 1st, and Brad really delivered.
2. His conversation and "connect-ability" with the judges. Niiiiice! Authoritative, yet still humble and sincere. Confident, without snobbishness.
3. Brad's "On Camera" was: "relaxed/informal" with a tinge of humor, which made it easier for HIM to connect/relate well to "the committee". The smile helps too, and Brad doesnt talk to fast. I hope Brad plays back tonight and watches himself. Dont try to magnify it more--and while the little touches of humor WERE good, I wouldnt try to add any more of them or do them more often. 1.Focus/repeat on the food-quality (again). 2. Focus on Confident yet relaxed, (like tonight, again) and SMILE as explain how you made the food and let us know why its delicious. Let all that-- be 80%, and a touch of (not overdone) humor, be the other 20%. (less is more).
Tonight Brad rocked! I wouldn't try to "magnify" it 3 times over.
Rather, I'd go for a good, solid, duplication/repeat of tonights excellent job.It was good to see Brad thankful, yet not become too cocky, over his win. A sincere, "real" guy. He was on VERY thin ice last week. If he can just do more of what he did tonight, he may just go all the way. Tonight it seemed like ALL the judges and reviewers were happy. Brad gave us the "total package". Food-quality, relaxed authority, and the ability to teach/explain, with a smile. I hope he can keep this going...
I love the new brad and tom. I don't know what's going on with Herb but I hope he pulls through. The one person that I am not happy and impressed is Brianna. She makes so many comments that makes her sound so stuffy and makes it so hard to relate to.
I think that Brad has huge potential and will hopefully improve from this point! The Food Network needs a younger point of view on the network and a new guy cook to help fill out the other chefs. I think he has what it takes to win. Though the remaing women contenders are also strong!
Way to go Brad. He's finally figured out what he was doing wrong, I hope. He was the man last night. I hope this was just one bad week for Aarti, we'll see. As I see the next few weeks Herb should be going home if he doesn't bounse back again, same for Serena. As for Aria, I've seen that he niceness and all American girl act we saw at the begining was a phony, and she's a bosy witch who wants things her own way even with the judges. She did what Paul did two shows ago, in not doing the dish assigned her yet she didn't get raked over the coals like Paul did. I'd like to see her get sent home, but we'll see. Bob and Bobby do seem to like her.
It seems that nobody is a fan of the idea, but I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Aria is changing her personality drastically. I just watched the preview for next week and her comment goes with how you are describing her. She said that it is in her best interest for Aarti to crack this week and in the preview she interupts Aarti. I'm sorry, but Aria is falling very quickly in my opinion.
Paul didn't get raked over the coals when he cooked pork - go back and re-watch the episode. The judges just said, "oh, so you made pork instead of steak" and that was it. He didn't win but he didn't end up in the bottom, same as Aria. And Aria explained her rationale well, and answered Bobby's questions without being a smarty pants, unlike Paul. And not for nothing, but Aarti made chopped meat on skewers instead of a roasted leg of lamb and she won that week.
Bob did say to him that he took a risk and in his case it didn't work. Here Bob liked her shrimp. Also Bob said that during the judgement time while here no mentiuon of it was done to Aria during the judgement. Aarti's dish was supoosed to be lamb and leg of lamb and she made lamb kabobs, at least she made the right meat.
Tom is also getting better each week. I was supprised that it was Brianna who was sent home as they did like hr dish, and they didn't like anything about Herb's dish, the dish and the presentation. I think there they were playing favorites again. Plus I also felt the Aarti wasn't was bad a Serena and yet it was Aarti in the bottom 3. Do you think they did that just to put us off on how much they like her, and make us guess that she will make it to the last show at least, even though she probably will. We'll see.
Maybe they put her in the bottom to shake her so that she will bring out her fighting spirit. Who really knows. I hope she can pull it out, because I love Aarti.
Perhaps the selection committee got a little worried that she was at the bottom of the audience poll.
Perhaps you are right. Looking at the posts on this chat room Brianna was the least favorite of the fans, but remember this show was taped months ago.
Brianna had to go because of her personality, which the judges have been discussing regularly. There is a natural limit to how long the judges can give the same kind of feedback. Which of course goes for EACH contestant. Breanna was my least favorite female this season but singling her out would be wrong.
I COMPLETELY agree about the playing favorites. Herb seems to continually get passes that other people wouldn't/haven't gotten. I have a bad feeling that Herb will make it fairly far. As for Tom, he kind of said it was his strategy to "play it safe" in the beginning and then pull out all the stops toward the end. But the longer he's there, the more I like him.
Aarti has a very nice personality and seems to be a good cook. The problem is not everyone likes or wants to learn about Indian food. I think her appeal is very limited. Aria is obviously having some issues but I believe she is a more well rounded cook and with instruction from the food network she would have a much broader appeal.
Not everyone likes or wants to learn about Southern food. Not everyone likes or wants to learn about Italian food. Etc. Specialty is OK, IMO. And Artie doesn't simply do Indian food. She also does Middle Eastern, having grown up in Dubai.
Aria would do a decent job, but is she much different than last year's winner? It just seems like she'd give us the same kind of show and make the same kind of food. The problem with going for "broader appeal" is that you invariably homogenize your talent.
I think if Aria won they'd have her play up the 'farm girl' thing, focus on country cooking. Melissa's POV is busy- suburban- mommy- on- a- budget, trying to get something fast on the table that even the kids will eat.
looks like arrtie could be next in the line to go home! what happended to her is the pressure if she's gone I do not know whom to watch.
Sarena I am not sure
Tom has great presentation I don't know about his food,
Herb could be next if he has same attituted.
Aria she is really getting somewhat annoying to me with her over action.
Brad I can watch.But for sure if Aarti's sent I will miss her dearly.
I didnt think so before, but Aarti's accent is becoming (annoying comes to mind, but I suppose I should just say): "harder to listen to."
I am also wondering if she would be "fast enough" in the kitchen.
I think the right chef won and lost. Brad is amiable and talented. Brianna? A camera shy diva

text: you asked... What Books Should I Be Reading to Baby? Obviously, baby can't tell me what kind of books he likes. What should I be looking for? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: Obviously, baby can't tell me what kind of books he likes. What should I be looking for? You're going to be doing a lot of reading right from the start. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends reading books to baby every day beginning at birth. Yes, even before baby knows what the heck a bunny is, you should be pulling out Pat the Bunny and reciting its fluffy, flappy pages. Reading to baby now aids in brain development, helps him gain language skills and will get him on track for learning to read and being ready for school. (School? I know, I know. Slow down. But really it will happen eventually -- might as well get a jump on it.) Bright colors and strong contrastsIllustrations with bold colors and high contrast (think: black-and-white or other pairings of light and dark) are most interesting for a young baby with developing vision. We love: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle; Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd Familiar picturesChoose books with photos of things baby can recognize, like a baby's face, a ball or a car. Point to the items and tell baby what they are. He's listening and will soon start making connections between the pictures and the real-life things. We love: Where Is Baby's Belly Button? by Karen Katz; First 100 Words by Roger Priddy DurabilityUm, you've probably figured this out by now, but baby's books need to stand up to chewing, throwing and tugging. Laminated board and heavy-duty cloth books are your best bets. We love: Just about anything by Sandra Boynton Simple, clear picturesBaby's not ready for Where's Waldo? just yet. Smaller pages with simple designs -- nothing too busy -- are the right speed for an infant. Luckily, baby board books are usually designed just for this age group, so you won't need to search too hard for something that fits the bill. We love: Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman; The Foot Book (board book version) by Dr. SeussOh, and one more thing: Don't worry if you don't have a bookworm just yet. It's totally normal for an infant to just want to put the book in his mouth and an older baby to squirm off the chair in the middle of a story. Read to baby as much as he'll let you and don't get frustrated. He'll develop a longer attention span eventually.

Ah, Valentine's Day: A time to shower your beloved with gifts and affection... or devour a heart-shaped box of chocolate alone in front of the TV... or curse Hallmark for commercializing romance...
Here at Open Salon, we won't tell you how to spend your February 14. But we do know how we want to celebrate it. If nothing else, V-Day is an excuse to share our juiciest stories of love and heartbreak -- and that's where you come in. In the immortal words of the poet we like to call "Lady Gaga," "I want your love and all your lover's revenge/You and me could write a bad romance."
That's right: We're asking for your best real-life stories of lover's revenge. How did you get back at an ex who betrayed you? How did your scorned spouse make you pay?
Write your bad romance by Friday (2/12) at 4pm ET, and tag your post lover's revenge.
I think a special day like Valentines day to be the front cover with love poems or stories. We do it for Father's day and Mother's Day. We not do it for Valentine's day. It is a Holiday where we show the ones we care and love what they mean to us.
I think there is enough negative everyday that we read on OS. Plus I think Revenge on ex lovers is a little impersonal and not to mention crude. The day is about love, caring and sharing that love with others.
Maybe do the revenge of lovers a week or two after Valentines day is over.
Where is the love??? I think it should be on a positive subject. Plus poets never get any recognitions here on OS and we don't even get an EP for poetry. So why not give us on day of the front cover to highlight some of the great love poems that are written here on OS everyday.
ah, love ... that backfires.
Plus like I said there is ready too much negative we read everyday here on OS. Why not do a positive front cover for the love letters and or love stories..
Have you noticed that "The Good News Sunday" That Jane Smithie started 5 or 6 weeks ago, has taken off so fast and everyone is loving them..
So why not give us a special front cover for Valentines day to put smiles and happiness in the heart of all the Oser's
My, oh my. I hope April Fool Day and St. Pat gets here soon.
I always fill the woman's pockets, who dare sleep with me, up.
You stay up all Valentines night and open apple sauce cans up.
You use your government issued, 3/4 inch, P- 38, from`Nam.

Oye. Open apple sauce, peanut butter, spaghetti, WW2's eggs.

I love summer. There's just so much going on. Summer concerts in the park. Hikes and bike rides. Barbecues with friends. Trips to the ice cream stand.
Don't Miss: Secrets to the Best Homemade Ice Cream (Without the Heavy Cream)
What I don't love, though, is the hit my bank account seems to take right about now. Rather than cutting back on summer fun, I put my grocery budget on a financial diet. All these recipes clock in at $3 or less per serving, so I can spend more money on those fun summer activities. Added bonus? Not a one takes more than 30 minutes to get on the table, so we can play outside to our hearts' content.
Here's what's on my menu this week:

While I always have a decent selection of craft beers and a few bottles of wine in my fridge for the times when friends drop by for an impromptu summertime shindig, I've decided to make this The Summer of Sangria.
Don't Miss: 5 Summer Party Wines for $10 or Less
I've never been much of a sangria fan. I've found most restaurant variations to be sickeningly sweet, so it wasn't my first choice for summer drinking. What changed my mind? The killer sangria recipes the EatingWell Test Kitchen created for the July/August issue of the magazine. They skipped the sugar altogether and used zesty wines, flavorful liquors and tons of fresh fruit to make these sangria recipes a delight to all the senses. Worthy of a summer-long celebration of the original...

This morning my 2-year-old daughter, Lila, walked over to the kitchen island and yelled, "Nana!" while pointing to the last banana in the fruit bowl. My husband tried to tell her that the black-spotted banana was destined for the compost bucket, but it's hard to reason with a toddler—so I peeled it and gave her a chunk. She thought it was a perfectly acceptable breakfast, mushy spots and all.
Many people (like my husband) don't have time for overripe bananas. But here's the real secret: those past-their-prime 'nanas are actually a true culinary treat.
Overripe bananas have an over-the-top essence that's perfect for flavoring baked goods, pancakes, smoothies and more. When I don't have time to turn them into something special right away, I peel them, pop them in a bag whole and freeze them for future cooking endeavors. Or I freeze slices on a...

I don't know a soul who will pass up a slice of yummy ice cream pie. I have a friend who requests it for her birthday in August every year, but it was also the first dessert that disappeared at a dinner potluck I attended last year—in the dead of winter. They are just that good! The only thing about ice cream pie that isn't so stellar is the fat and calorie counts in the pies you pick up at the grocery store or your local ice cream shop. But lucky for us, it's super-easy to make a homemade ice cream pie—and when you make the EatingWell version, you'll save about 150 calories and half the saturated fat per serving.
Follow these four easy steps for a perfect Strawberry-Lime Ice Cream Pie:

I've discovered how to make casual summer entertaining super-easy and infinitely more fun: I simply plug in my slow cooker. I used to spend all day making side dishes and sweating for hours at the grill, not realizing until the end of the party that the only time I interacted with anyone was when they came to get a burger from me.
Now I let my slow cooker do most of the work. If I'm having what feels like the whole neighborhood over, I can free up space on my packed grill by using this handy tool to make one of the main courses. Who doesn't love fork-tender brisket piled on a sandwich and topped with pickles and garlicky mayo or chicken drumsticks coated in sticky honey-orange sauce? I can also use the slow cooker to prepare great sides like a tangy, warm German potato salad starring fresh fingerling potatoes or Quinoa-Summer Squash Casserole....

The effect is an on-demand calculation of a constant, or once-only run of some code. The same sort of thing can be done with the main C module (see L), but ToConstant doesn't have to keep track of different sets of arguments (there's no arguments) and in particular it can discard the original code after it runs, freeing some memory. =head1 MULTIPLE VALUES For consistency the original function is always run in array context, no matter how the memoized wrapper is called. The kind of constant sub the function becomes then depends on the number of values returned. =over 4 =item * For no values the new sub is an empty C. =item * For one value the new sub is a scalar return C. This is the usual case and can be inlined by subsequently loaded code (ie. code loaded after the first run). =item * For two or more values the new sub is an array return C. This is similar to what C gives and in array context (which is presumably the purpose of multiple values) it returns those multiple results. The only subtle thing to note is that when used in scalar context it means the size of the array, ie. how many values. This happens even if your original function was a list style C which in scalar context would normally mean last value in that list. =back =head1 FUNCTIONS There are no functions as such, everything is accomplished through the C import. =over 4 =item C<< use Memoize::ToConstant 'func' >> =item C<< use Memoize::ToConstant 'Some::Package::func' >> Modify the given C to become a constant after the first call to it. An unqualified name is taken to be in the caller package doing the C. That's the normal case, but a fully qualified name (anything with a C<::>) can be given. In either case the function must be defined before ToConstant is applied, sub foo { ... }; use Memoize::ToConstant 'foo'; # right use Memoize::ToConstant 'bar'; # WRONG! sub bar { ... }; =back =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L, L, L, L, L =cut

Aston Villa 3-1 Blackburn
Robert Pires scored his first goal for Aston Villa as they saw off Blackburn to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.Ciaran Clark nodded Villa ahead but Rovers were quickly level as Nikola Kalinic bundled home from close range. Veteran winger Pires restored Villa's lead with a sweet half-volley before Nathan Delfouenso's header made it 3-1. With half-an-hour left, Villa defender Nathan Baker saw red for a wild tackle on David Hoilett but Gerard Houllier's side easily held out to progress. M.... read more

City v United called off
MANCHESTER United's clash at Manchester City in the Carling Cup has been postponed because of the weather. The sides were to have met in the first leg of their semi-final on Wednesday night but safety concerns for fans getting to Eastlands mean the game has been called off. It is a huge disappointment for everyone that we have had to postpone the tie but we have had the kind of harsh weather unseen in this part of the world for years and years, City CEO Garry Cook told www.mcfc.co.uk. We pursued every avenue possible in search of a solution and whilst the pitch is still playable, what was paramount in our thinking was the safety of fans travelling to and from the game especially in light of the sub-zero temperature forecast for Wednesday night. In the end everyone who was part of the discussions was unanimous that it would have been too dangerous to play the game as scheduled. The rearranged first leg will be played on January 19 (7.45pm) with the return at Old Trafford on January 27 (8pm).

The hath package
Hath is a Haskell program for working with network blocks in CIDR notation. When dealing with blocks of network addresses, there are a few things that one usually wants to do with them:
Create a regular expression matching the CIDR block(s). This is because grep will throw up if you feed it CIDR.
Combine small blocks into larger ones. For example, if you have two consecutive /24s, they might combine into a larger /23.
View the result of block combination in a useful way.
Hath has four modes to perform these functions:
- Regexed
- This computes a (Perl-compatible) regular expression matching the input CIDR blocks. It's the default mode of operation.
- Reduced
- This combines small blocks into larger ones where possible, and eliminates redundant blocks. The output should be equivalent to the input, though.
- Duped
- Shows only the blocks that would be removed by reduce; that is, it shows the ones that would get combined into larger blocks or are simply redundant.
- Diffed
- Shows what would change if you used reduce. Uses diff-like notation.
Combine two /24s into a /23:
$ hath reduced <<< "10.0.0.0/24 10.0.1.0/24" 10.0.0.0/23
Create a perl-compatible regex to be fed to grep:
$ grep -P `hath regexed -i cidrs.txt` mail.log

Pardew Wants Another Look At Vuckic
Haris Vuckic has told Alan Pardew he will score goals if he is given a first-team chance in the Premiership ... and two goals in two games is not bad going. Alan Pardew: "Haris is a tidy player. He's been out so long, we're just trying to introduce him gradually. He's pushing and pushing. "I'll probably give him a game against Gateshead – we'll take a strong team there. "If our fans want to travel there, they'll see mainly first-team squad members who need another game. Willo will possibly need to play again, because he looks a little bit match shy. "It'll be a decent side, and Haris will play in that. "It's going to be a stronger team, and the first-team staff will take it. It'll be nice for Gateshead, and nice for our fans too."

text: The Starbucks logo has become such an icon, it's easy to forget that's it's a busty mermaiden. The two-tailed mermaid represents a siren—you know, the hotties who lure handsome fishermen in with their pretty songs and then eat their brains, minus the last part? Apparently, the owners wanted to name Starbucks "Moby's Coffee" and use a whale logo since Starbucks is the name of the first mate in "Moby Dick" who liked himself a cup o' brew. But there was also Mary Coffin Starbuck from a novel called "In the Heart of the Sea: the Epic True Story" that inspired "Moby Dick." Crazy, huh? Now you have a conversation starter for that hot nerd in your coffee line. [CoffeeMania]

It's summer and I'm going through the house, room by room, cleaning and organizing now that we've taken a deep breath and a couple months off school.
It feels good to get everything tidied back up again, and also to make some adjustments to our current homeschool set up.
{In case you missed my first post on homeschool organization, here it is (warning: super long post!)}.
Around here, we do most of our formal homeschooling at either our breakfast table, or our dining room table, which is adjacent to the breakfast nook. I do not have a separate "homeschool room" here in our home (for now, that is something that just does not work for us). Where we do school is also where our family of 6 eats 3 meals a day. And as you homeschoolin'-around-the--table mamas know, things can get hairy really quickly when a space is doing double-duty like that.
At a glance, here is what our primary homeschool space looked like for the past school year...
This power-packed organizational system served us well last year. The baskets were great for storing curriculum and craft supplies, and the hanging shoe organizer kept all the small items up and away from little hands, and gave every loose item a home. I will never not have one of these hanging on my wall or on a door for as long as I homeschool, it was THAT important to us. I didn't even mind looking at it, mostly because it's sort of tucked away in that little spot just off the kitchen in our breakfast nook. It was just so amazingly practical and functional.
But I have to be honest, I needed more surface space! I had no place to set things when I wanted to clean up real quick for a meal or another activity--everything would have to stay on the table, or go into a pile on the floor, and this problem often made the whole area feel cluttered.
Another change I made was to add a couple of IKEA shelves for displaying pretty things like fresh-cut flowers and bowls of pencils, but mostly, for artwork and books.
With the DIY Chalkboard hanging over to the left of the shelves, I decided to re-hang my DIY fabric-covered magnet board in the space on the right (pictured above)...not totally sure I love it there, but I'm going to give it a try for a few months.
Here's where the magnet board has been for the past 6 months in the kitchen...this was a quickie project that began as a solution for covering up an old phone jack on our kitchen wall, as well as providing a useful space for hanging recipes, photos and notes (our stainless finish fridge is not magnetized).
A fabric-covered magnet board is cool because a) it's covered in fabric, which automatically softens any space, b) for a couple bucks and a few more dabs of hot glue, you can remove & change out the fabric on it any ol' time you want and c) It's practical AND pretty...It can hold notecards and pencils for quick lists, but also display a couple pretty embellishments, like my favorite flower pin {tutorial here}.
Isn't it cute? Holler at me if you reeeeally want to see a full tutorial for this project, because I probably have some pics in the archives from when I made it.
Anyway, for now, I moved it to the homeschool area...
Oh, I almost forgot. As I was sitting and staring at my shelf today (as I sometimes do, mid-project, to brainstorm) I couldn't help but feel annoyed at some of the random stuff I had on top of the shelf...file trays and electric pencil sharpeners and staplers. All I could see was CLUTTER. I started thinking, do I really NEED to have an electric stapler (left over from my teaching days) on the bookshelf? I mean, it's nice, but how much do I really use that thing? It's not like I have a whole classroom of kids to staple for anymore! So--I unplugged it and put it away for now--the regular ol' stapler will do, and it's stashed in my pocket organizer already. Still, there was my electric pencil sharpener, taking up a corner of my clean white space. It was then that I had the genius idea to put that thing into its own pocket in the organizer. It couldn't fit more perfectly, and it slips in and out easily enough when the shavings need emptied. Major victories, people.
I also moved the stacking file trays back downstairs.
And now I have about half the shelf-top space clear and clean, which makes this mama VERY happy.
The contents of the baskets themselves have not changed all that much from my first Homeschool Organization Post, but I did bring up the 6 white magazine files shown. Two of them have construction papers/cardstock/file folders in them, one is empty (for now), one has all our Dover history coloring books and history printables, one holds primer and K-level practice booklets for my boys, and the last one houses all our drawing and watercolor tablets.
I'll have to come back around and update this post once everything is totally in its place on & in my bookshelf, and my hanging organizer, but for now, I just wanted to share the direction we're headed.
Everything is starting to look so gosh-darn neat and tidy, and I'm tickled pink that it can stay like this for a whole 6 weeks!! =] Once we start up school again, this pretty little organizational system will really be put to the test. We'll see very soon how it holds up to our abuse!
What about you? Are you taking back your house and getting organized for another school year or just soaking up the summer sunshine and not thinking about it yet?

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii has confirmed that the next Dragon Quest game is in development. Now, Dragon Quest fans may be disappointed that we here in America did not get the last Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest X. This MMO for the Wii and Wii U has been evolving quite rapidly including new quests and cameos from Final Fantasy. An international release for the MMO has been discussed but was never confirmed, leaving all of us Dragon Questless.
That being said, not a whole lot of info was divulged in this interview with Horii and Game Jouhou. He revealed that Square-Enix is in the process of making the next DQ game but could not reveal it's story, it's release date, it's title, or even the platforms that it is being developed for. Hopefully we will have more info come to us at E3.

I would concede that point. I don't think the original poster was intending for asymmetric play. I am just the type to work on one deck at a time and pour all my energy into making that deck the best I can. Bringing two decks to me would just detract from the attention and playtesting I can give each deck, and honestly hope they don't go that route.
That said I would agree that it would be an interesting alternate format to try out to spice it up from time to time.
Posted 17 September 2013 - 02:52 PM
I suppose it would cut out mirror matches.
I tend to play a deck I enjoy playing rather than a few designs so I would dislike playing another deck. Focusing on tweaking here and there and identifying weaknesses.

Digging our graves with our teeth: The diabetes epidemic
So are we digging our graves with our teeth? A leading Australian diabetes researchers would say in many cases we are and he is warning of a global diabetes epidemic with the capacity of bringing down health systems.
In Australia close to a million people have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but two million more are at high risk of developing the condition. Type 2 diabetes costs the economy 15 billion dollars a year.
However, for more than half of these people diabetes could be avoided through intensive, sustained changes in diet and exercise levels.
This week we travel from Melbourne to the Kimberley via the Northern Territory to hear from diabetics on how the condition affects their lives, and from diabetes educators and researchers about what could and should be done about it.

The obesity and diabetes epidemics started when the experts told us to avoid fat. We are told to eat more carbs. Have we been given the wrong diet advice? The best book about diabetes is Dr Richard K Bernstein's book Diabetes Solution. Dr Bernstein is a diabetologist. He has Type 1 diabetes. It is a very interesting book even for those who don't have diabetes.

Traditional diet for people in the outback is now becoming impossible because of population increase. The diet was possible when there were only a few nomadic tribes.
Now the people would eat the outback food too much, too quickly. And so they are reliant on junk foods brought in. -

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes two years ago. I was 37 years old, athletic and had a reasonably healthy diet. I believe that this condition was triggered by a stressful episode in my life and there is evidence that insulin and stress hormones are linked. I have just been given the 'all clear' and have returned to healthy glucose levels after two years of disciplined low sugar/low GI diet. Once you get used to a low sugar diet, you no longer crave sugar and I will continue to limit the amount of sugar in my diet as I believe it will benefit my health in many ways into the future.

pre diabetic? mmm no such thing but a term used by a doctor to enable them to obtain government funding (around 5k per patient) to increase their wealth , you either have issues with insulin production and or absorbstion or you dont glucose metabolism is effected by many things and is varied from on minute to the next

It seems to be taking an an endless time for the simple truth about the catastrophic world pandemic of type 2 diabetes to emerge. Thank goodness a few people have started giving up rapidly absorbable sugar, such as in soft drinks and countless other fast foods. When the sugar-induced disease reaches an advanced stage with gross obesity the doctor has no time to say you should have stopped soft drinks long ago and the only choice then is an anti-insulin drug. And let's be clear about the cause; it is not just sugar but the fructose half of the sugar. Glucose is a very healthy sugar but it is hard to find without the poisonous fructose. And just a final vital point: "low GI" is nonsense here because fructose has an extremely low DI .

Re: pre-diabetes this link to Diabetes Australia may clarify things for you Keith. Type 2 diabetes can be avoided or delayed if blood glucose levels (because of impaired glucose metabolism) can be controlled in the stage before diabetes develops - call this stage what you may. http://www.diabetesaustralia.com.au/en/NDSS-Content/Diabetes-Information-Sheets/Pre-Diabetes1/

Keith, pre diabetes is also called IGT Impaired Glucose Tolerance and is in fact a pre warning, not actually Diabetes itself.

And Keith, any illness has a precursor, asthma too, and as the pathways (inflammation or schlerosis) get laid down the work increases to get back to health.

A major factor for Diabetes may be soft drink, but another is certainly convenience foods. In my job I see many small children's lunchboxes - some have 6 or more little packets of foods labelled as "real fruit" or "packed with nutritional value". These are bad for children's health (so much salt, sugar and chemicals), bad for the environment (so much unnecessary packaging) and bad for parents' hip pockets (so expensive). The only profit is for the food companies, who are literally making a killing. We MUST educate our young parents about food choices for their precious children.

My wife and I spent some time in the Kimberleys a few years ago. We were absolutely staggered at the cost of fresh fruit and vegetables even in a fairly large community such as at Kalumburu . Other smaller communities were in a worse state. At the same time soft drink , chips etc were readily available and "reasonably priced ".
For aboriginal people living on very limited social service benefits that enormous price difference removes any chance of developing a healthy diet. . These people can't afford a healthy diet assuming they know how and that they want to. All the education in the world will not change the situation if people literally cannot afford healthy food .
This is only part of the problem but unless this is addressed the larger problem will never be fixed.

While it is easy to blame ourselves for eating too much of the wrong thing, it ought be said that too much of our food is processed to the point that we don't really know what we are eating.

Loved the program, especially the bloke who said the type 2 diabetes problem in his community could be fixed if they got rid of softdrink in their diet. Just do it! However, was distressed to hear the old lady saying she had been told not to eat their favourite part of the meat, the fat. How much of a type 2 diabetes and obesity problem was there in the community before they started on a 'European' diet? Very little, I suspect. Eat animal fat, it's good for you.

Totally agree! Love fat and u can't eat too much of the stuff- if u do u poo it out! If this is the education people are receiving to eat lean it's wrong! Eat fat it's what people have been eating for years! The Kimberly s have cattle slaughter a few and practice old school preserving! Access to fruit & vegetables isn't the answer!
Max strano :
05 Dec 2013 2:44:22pm
The show was extremely timid in presenting the shift in our diet in the past 30 years. The fact that junk and highly processed food is cheaper than real food wasn't even mentioned. Fast food was barely mentioned, and all the experts kept talking about lifestyle changes, youth education, etc, without ever calling the real culprit by its really name. This radio doesn't rely on advertising money to run, so what makes you holding back on these issues?
Linda Fullerton :
05 Dec 2013 6:30:22pm
Avoidance of fast foods and soft drinks is vital but so too is getting enough exercise. Our urban environments make it unsafe for children to play and cycle in the street and impractical for people to walk. Cars rule. Until governments grasp this particular nettle and stop building ever wider, faster roads and revert streets back to their former state as 'places' where people meet, play, walk and chat we will continue to have ever increasing health problems, mental and physical.

A close friend ended up on Maternity Hospital yesterday and delivered a boy. If sick, that child have access to Children's Hospital. Dental hospitals exist and others, but NO OBESITY HOSPITAL. My hunch is that we must go with the times and give obese people access to separate hospitals that can cater for their needs - Bigger beds, different food catering etc. The list is very long and staff must also be BIG to be effective. It is so easy to direct people to relevant hospitals. You just need to look at them from afar! This system would also help in diverting resources where best needed and most effective. Personally I'm a candidate for the OBESE HOSPITAL SYSTEM, but I will see it as a personal challange to remain in the general health care system. And I think you agree - this is good.

My partner was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes a couple of years ago. He was also on anti-hypertensive and cholesterol lowering medication. He was also morbidly obese, as was I. I too was on anti-hypertensive medication.
We started on Weight Watchers in Sept 2012. Over 12 months later and we've lost over 25kg each, we've both come of all our medications and his diabetes has gone away.
Diet played a major part in our recovery to good health, in conjuction with a solid exercise regime.
We're so much more alive now. It's incredible.-
Michael Barnett :

I should add that we both have sleep apnoea and use CPAP therapy. Not very romantic when both bed-partners wear breathing masks!
My partner's sleep apnoea has actually mostly gone away with his weight loss and a recent sleep study revealed he had gone from stopping breathing around 70 times an hour to around only 13 times an hour, which is considered to be a huge improvement from a medical perspective and apparently not seen very often.
My sleep apnoea hasn't been tested for a while but it's been observed on the occasions when I have not been wearing a mask and have snored that the nature of my snoring has reduced markedly since my weight loss.
Again, diet and exercise have significantly improved our overall health.

Albert Einstein Copypasta
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
Albert Einstein Copypasta, also known as "Malice of Absence," is a fictional account of a philosophical debate on the benevolence of God between a religious-skeptic professor and a student of faith, the latter of whom is revealed to be the world-renowned scientist Albert Einstein. Online, the last line in the story is often referenced in discussion threads and comments to mock hyperbolic statements or tall tales.
According to Snopes,[1] an early version of the copypasta began circulating via e-mail as early as 1999. In the story, a college professor asserts that God must be evil if evil exists in the world, to which a student responds that "evil is simply the absence of God." The final line reveals the student's identity as Albert Einstein.
Does evil exist?
The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists? A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything? The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil". The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."
The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down.
The young man's name -- Albert Einstein.
Snopes determined that the copypasta was fictitious based on biographical information about Einstein and his expressed views on the subject of religion which have been described as "agnostic."
According to About.com,[2] a similar version of the story began spreading via email in 2004. On April 14th, 2008, the story was posted on the yoga blog Sahaja Power.[7] On November 10th, 2009, Hyperacusis Network Forums[8] member DanMalcore submitted the copypasta in a thread titled "Misphonia, 4S and Albert Einstein." On April 14th, 2012, Facebook user Cory Jones posted a variation of the story, which gained over 402,600 shares in the next three years.
On October 21st, 2013, Redditor i_forget_my_userids submitted a joke in which science professor Carl Sagan is revealed to be Albert Einstein to the /r/circlejerk[6] subreddit, where it accumulated more than 1,400 upvotes and 75 comments prior to being archived.
"'Neil Degrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins agonized for years over how to wear a fedora. it was Carl Sagan who came up with the answer: God isn't real. That Sagan's name? Albert Einstein.' --Michael Scott"
Notable Examples
Liberal Muslim Homosexual ACLU Professor
According to Rational Wiki,[3] a parody of the Einstein copypasta about a "liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU" professor who asks his class to pray to Karl Marx originated on 4chan sometime in 2011. On November 15th, 2011, the story was posted by Tumbler user Tossiblog,[5] gathering more than 3,600 notes in the next three years.
A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, known atheist
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.
"How old is this rock?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied "4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian"
"Wrong. It's been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears.
The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Small Government" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.
Semper Fi
On April 16th, 2012, Redditor Waja_Wabit submitted a screenshot of the copypasta to the /r/atheism[4] subreddit, where it received upwards of 6,000 upvotes and 690 comments prior to being archived. In the comments section, Redditor wolfchimneyrock referenced the original Albert Einstein story.
Marine Todd
Marine Todd is a similar copypasta story about a United States marine who violently assaults a college professor for challenging the existence of God. While numerous variations of this story have been circulating for over a decade, the meme resurged in April 2014 after Twitter users began parodying the original story in satire of various American conservative and right-wing ideologies.
