Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2+ weeks – interviewed at H&M.
Interview DetailsI applied online and got a call 2 days later to schedule a one-on-one interview with one of the managers, which was the next day. I went in for the interview, which lasted about 20-25. She talked to me about what working there is gonna be like and asked me a few questions about my experiences in my previous job. After the interview was over she had me fill out a sheet for a background check. She said they will call me when it cleared.
After a couple weeks they called me back to meet for a second time. This actually turned out to be a job offer and we discussed how much my wage is going to be (way better than my last job). The next day I just had to come in to fill out paperwork and i am now officially an H&M employee!Interview Questions- what is your availability Answer Question

Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at H&M in November 2014.
Interview DetailsI filled out an application online and received a phone interview about an hour later, i was asked to explain my role at previous jobs and my availability. I was then invited to come in for a in person interview the next day (Friday). When I got there I was interviewed by two managers they both asked questions such as: Why H&M?, What do you expect from H&M? Name a time you presented good customer service? What didn't you like about your previous job? and my availability,(kinda similar to the phone interview) they also took notes. After the interview I signed a background check form and was told that I would receive a call within one week once my background check came back. To my surprise they called me on Monday and asked me to come in for a second interview that Wednesday where I was offered the job. They started me with $11.50. The process took less than a week!

Interview DetailsI applied online and received a call about a month later. The hiring manager asked a few basic questions over the phone such as previous work experience, why I want to work at h&m, and how did I know they were hiring. She then asked if I was available for an interview for Friday (today). So I had my face to face interview today and was asked to fill out a background check form and asked a few simple questions. It was a pretty laid back interview, not too intense. She told me I should hear back in about a week and a half after the background check goes through. So hopefully it went well and I get the job!

Part-time Sales Advisor Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 6 weeks – interviewed at H&M in October 2014.
Interview DetailsAfter applying online on their career website, I got an email to confirm a phone interview by a team coach, I replied to confirm. The next day I got the call & the woman on the phone was very sweet, she asked me simple questions:
Why do you want to work at H&M?
What is your daily availability?
Why do you thin you would be a good candidate for H&M?
The interview didn't take long & I even managed to make her laugh a little w. my response.She assured me someone would contact me to further the process.
[To get my foot in the door a little bit I asked her what kind of attire I should wear to the interview,she said it was my choice to dress casually or do it up a bit, they wanted to know me for me]
A few days later, I got a call from an employee at H&M. She asked to schedule an interview & after confirming the date and time, she informed me of who I would be meeting w. as well as directions to the office.
[Between my interview & this call, I studied about the company like mad.Do it, it WILL help you. Read other interview reviews on here]
1:2 Interview
I arrived at the office super early, so I sat. The woman behind the desk was very polite & nice. Nearing the time of my actual interview the woman who was supposed to interview me came out & told me she had to do a personal thing issue & that I would be interviewed by someone else. That person then met w. me along with another person. They introduced themselves, the second person told me that she was there to take notes.
He was very polite & basically asked the same questions as on the phone.He did throw a curve-ball:
How do you think it would be for you to adjust from your previous work place's register program to our register program?
The other questions were regular:
What do you think working at H&M will be like? [I said busy & smiled]
Whats one thing you didn't like about your previous job? [Easy on the answer]
The interview wasn't long & at the end I was allowed to ask questions:
[after reading a review] I've heard that in some stores they focus more on customer service rather than the quality of the store's appearance. Does that apply to all stores?
[They seemed surprised by this question but complimented me on asking]
What are the dress code policies? For instance I have a septum & I want to dye my hair an unnatural color, am I allowed to have these things shown whilst working here?
After my questions they thanked me for coming & said " be sure to watch some of the videos on our site to learn about the company for your next interview"
[Because I am a college student I was told that they could accommodate my schedule, but next semester I was NOT allowed to take on weekend classes]
It took a long time for them to call me back, almost a month, only because [as I was told] the hiring office was backed up w. applications/interviews. I contacted the Team Coach from the phone interview to help constantly send my information out so that I wasn't forgotten. Finally I received a call asking for another interview. I wasn't told this, but for this one you should dress professionally.
Group? Interview(Pt I)
I arrived just on time. There were other candidates there & unfortunately for me, they were dressed professionally.[Be yourself,smile. Interact with the other candidates]The same woman behind the desk before gave me a paper to fill out [the background check & a job description]. We [I didn't know it was a group] were called into the interview room before I finished the paper & was assured I could finish it afterward. Just as the first interview there were two people interviewing everyone one was mostly taking notes, the other asking questions. They introduced themselves & gave us a brief run-through of their career at H&M. We were asked to do the same,5 of us including myself. After intros, he asked:
Why do you want to work at H&M?
Where do you see yourself with H&M in a year?
[I said I didn't think I'd be in a higher position as yet, don't say that. I also said that I believed customers would ask for me by name]
What was one challenge you faced at your previous employer?
What would be your ideal working environment? Fast, slow? [H&M is fast]
Would you prefer to work in a team? [Being a team player is good,mention you can also work alone]
What would your ideal boss be?
These aren't all the questions,the rest I cant remember, I know they had specific questions depending on your responses. Another candidate asked:
Approximately how long does it take one to move up in status?
[At H&M promotions are called "opportunities"]
After they both thanked us for coming, we shook hands & were escorted out.They also informed us they would get back to us in about a week after the checks went through. I, however received a call an hr or so after the interview to schedule another group interview, this time with activities, for the following week. I was told to dress professionally.Interview Questions- When was a time you implemented a change that benefited the company? View Answer

Application DetailsI applied in-person. The process took 2 days – interviewed at H&M in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI went in asked if they were hiring although I applied online it's better if you go in after. They asked if I had a printed copy of my resume, I did, in the front of the store they asked me two simple questions, why H&M? And what is good customer service? Simple enough. Then I shook their hand and went on my merry way but they called me within 5 minutes and asked me to come back for an interview. They took me to the back had me fill out a paper and then asked me more questions. Nothing hard. A time where you used team work? What kind of vibe did u get from h and m when u first went in? How much do you expect to be paid? What do you expect working as a sales advisor as far as the work goes? And a few other I forgot,

Part-time Sales Advisor Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at H&M in September 2014.
Interview DetailsI applied online for a position at an H&M which will soon open at my local mall. I found the online application very easy and straightforward. I was then emailed about 5 days later an invitation to an Open House, where I was to be interviewed.
The invitation said to dress casual and to show case your personal style. I wore a nice blazer, a casual tee from H&M, a nice necklace from H&M, black Harem pants and flats. I can say everyone at that open house had very different style.
I was nervous for the interview given I had only been to a handful of interviews before, but I read as much as I could about the company on their website so as to be as best prepared as possible. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is going to interview at H&M because many of the questions they asked me in the interview related back to what I found on the company website.
At the open house, I came in, registered, and waited in line behind about 7 other people waiting to be interviewed. I was called about 20 min. later. I first interviewed with a hiring manager. She was very nice and laid back. She began the interview telling me about herself and then she asked me questions like, "Tell me about yourself", "What experience do you have in retail", "Why do you want to want to work with H&M", "What's your availability?", "What do you expect from H&M?", "Are you willing to work weekends?", "What is your expected wage?" and finally she asked if I had any questions for her. I asked her what she enjoyed most about her job. (I think it's a good idea to have a question or two in mind to ask your interviewer in case they give you the opportunity to ask questions).
She then asked me if I had time to interview with another manager and I said yes. I waited about 10 min. and then interviewed with a Store Manager. She asked me pretty much the same questions the Hiring Manager did, along with a couple others. I felt kinda redundant repeating myself but they're looking for consistency so keep your answers consistent. She also asked me questions like: "Tell me about a time you gave great customer service?", questions regarding my last position in retail, "In your, previous retail work, how did you raise sales?", "What does it mean to you to be straightforward?", and "What does "We believe in people mean to you?" These last two questions relate to H&M's values, so like I said study their website!
After the interviews the Store Manager told me that they would notify me within 2 weeks if I got the job.
About a week after that, I received a call inviting me to another interview.
At that "interview", I was offered the position. She only asked me a couple questions to refresh her memory about which of the applicants I was. She asked me to explain my retail experience. Then she told me she'd like to offer me the position. She then took out a folder and began to explain to me everything inside it (code of conduct, training process, benefits, etc). She gave me my orientation date, place and time and that was about it. Overall took about 15 minutes.
My interview tips would be for you to be yourself! Be positive and upbeat! Try to incorporate stuff from their website into your answers. For example, when they asked me "Why to you what to work for H&M", I answered something like, "I want to work for H&M because I share many of their values such as respect for all people and the environment. I really love their approach to sustainable fashion, because often as consumers we aren't aware of the environmental impacts our clothes have plus H&M is quality clothing at affordable prices and that's something that really sets it apart from other sustainable clothing lines."
I'm someone that really likes to be around people, likes helping people and has an entrepreneurial spirit and I really tried showcasing that in my interview. I was worried about not getting the job because I only had about 8 months of previous work and that had been about 2 years ago! But I mentioned to them that for about 10 years now (since age 14) I had run my own stall at a local market during the summers, so I'm assuming that helped my case.Interview Questions- What does "We believe in people mean to you?"

Part-time Sales Advisor Interview
Application DetailsI applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at H&M in July 2014.
Interview DetailsThis is a detailed review on my interview experience with H&M. I hope this helps someone out there looking to apply with H&M as I strongly encourage you do so after my interview process and a brief introduction into the company. There seems to be a lot of growth and opportunities provided if you work hard enough and show your interest.
I applied recently on June 21, 2014.
Phone Interview and The Interview Process -
There was a phone interview before receiving an invitation to come in for a first interview. I applied online before this whole process (of course). And you must be at least 18 so I applied practically after my 18th birthday. The first interview was between the store director who I spoke with on the phone and a supervisor who was there to take notes and observe. I wore something semi-formal to feel comfortable, but to look put together. They emphasize on individualism and creativity; so don't be afraid to really show them your true personality and of course style. Also, there isn't a strict dress code so that's a major plus and you are allowed to have piercings and tattoos, but as an employee its always best to look presentable and not like you rolled out of bed straight to work. Back to the interview. The first interview lasted 15 minutes which was pretty short considering I arrived early (15 minutes) and was called in at the time the interview was supposed to be held and then was asked nearly the same questions on the phone. So I again felt repetitive but now they could put my face to my answers and probably noticed the consistency in my responses because honesty is key.
After my interview I went to hang out around the area and received a call 2-3 hours after the interview to schedule the second interview. Since it was fourth of July weekend I already had prior engagements to be out of town and they decided to do the second interview the next day which I was more than happy to get it out of the way and it made me more excited to speak to the store manager and it was one step closer to a job.
The second interview was practically similar to the first. I felt like I was just as comfortable and was asked yet again the same questions and surprisingly was not thrown any hard balls. I felt like I made a good impression on the store manager and I was complemented on a couple of my responses as I made sure I mentioned how excited I was to be working here and I liked to stay organize and eventually dabble in Visual Merchandising if I stayed with the company. She liked my responses and told me after another 15 minute interview that she'd call me after Monday or Tuesday once she spoke with the two other managers who interviewed me.
Job Offer -
I wasn't called back on Monday which started to make me doubt on getting the job and I made sure I called Tuesday to make sure I didn't let the job slip away and I wanted to be as fresh in their mind as possible. And as promised the store manager knew she was supposed to respond back to me but she put me on hold again and I received a call from the store director asking me to come in on July 10th for a job offer! So the whole process took about two weeks to actually get a job with them, which I was really fortunate on not be put on hold as I read some people dont hear back for weeks or months. Its smart to be consistent and a bit aggressive to show your interest and your passion for which ever position you may be going for. I filled out all the paper work on the 10th and signed on how much I would be paid and was told when training and my official employment would begin. I start the 22nd of July and training was said to last for two weeks.
Pay & Other Benefits -
The pay was definitely above minimum for my area. Minimum being $9. And I was unaware of the exact pay until the day I came in to sign my contract. I was actually planning on negotiating pay because of my previous work experience and my 'skill level' which I dont know if that matters or not when negotiating but after further research the glassdoor estimation for pay is pretty accurate. It was above what I was going to ask for which pleased me and I did not need to argue, Also they do pay for overtime which my last job did not, but apparently its very rare there. I was not explained discounts or any of the benefits that came with the job probably because I'm part time for now and it might be explained while training, but I looked up discounts out of curiosity and saw it was 25% which is pretty good I guess, and with benefits and higher than average pay there can't be much to complain about.
* I'm sorry for how long this was and how I went off topic a lot, but I was as detailed as possible on my personal experience and I hope this eases some minds for people who want to be a part of the H&M team.. I know I have some friends who don't actually enjoy H&M but I think they're a pretty great company and place to be working.Interview Questions- There was no difficult or unexpected questions.

(BaseballStL)-- The suspensions handed down by Major League Baseball to 13 players for their involvement with the Biogenesis clinic comes at a time when the pennant race is just heating up.
Most teams have about 50 games left to play, and having a key player suspended could be the difference in missing out on a playoff spot or winning the World Series.
But despite the long list of players suspended, the pennant races aren't likely to be significantly affected.
Alex Rodriguez is expected to continue playing while his appeal is heard, but A-Rod's Yankees appears to be going nowhere this year.
They're 9 1/2 games out of first in the difficult A.L. East. Ryan Braun's Milwaukee Brewers were already out of the race in the N.L. Central when he accepted his suspension.
The team hurt the worst is the Texas Rangers. They're losing All-Star Nelson Cruz for the rest of the season. The Rangers, already struggling to generate offense, are currently 2 1/2 games behind Oakland in the A.L. West and now must find a middle of the order replacement for Cruz.
Beyond Cruz, though, there should be a minimal impact around the league.
Detroit is losing Jhonny Peralta, a solid shortstop, but the Tigers have already traded for his replacement in Jose Iglesias. The Padres are losing shortstop Everth Cabrera, but San Diego is ten games out of first in the N.L. West and not likely to be a threat to the Dodgers.
None of the other players involved should affect the pennant races much at all. Francisco Cervelli of the Yankees is currently on the disabled list. The Phillies are out of the race, so the lost of reliever Anthony Bastardo is somewhat insignificant. Jordany Valespin, Jesus Montero, Cesar Puello, Sergio Escalona and Fernando Martinez are in the minor leagues now. Fautino De Los Santos and Jordan Norbe are free agents.
The Cardinals shouldn't be impacted at all by the suspensions. They still have nine games to play against the Braun-less Brewers, but the other contending teams in the N.L. Central have similar schedules.
If Andrew McCutcheon and Joey Votto had been suspended that would have been a game changer. But those two, and the rest of the players on the Pirates and the Reds, are clean. Well, at least they didn't test positive to anything or get caught up in the Biogenesis mess.
So the Cardinals path to winning the Central division title remains largely unaffected by the suspensions.

Many public libraries have summer reading programs. Does yours? Please comment below to let us know how it's going/gone...
From My Eastern Shore Maryland:
STEVENSVILLE — Whoever said summer reading is a drag hasn't been to the Queen Anne's Public Library this summer. On July 31, parents and children gathered at the library in Stevensville for the Summer Reading Wrap-Up, an event to celebrate the end of the library's annual summer reading program. Children built structures with Legos, made art pieces on paper plates, watched science demonstrations, and talked about the books they've read this summer.
George Burchill, a 9-year-old from Stevensville, said that his favorite books this summer have been the "Ranger's Apprentice" series by John Flanagan. The soon-to-be fourth-grader has read 21 books so far over summer vacation, all several hundred pages long. Asked how he could read so much in that amount of time, he laughed, "Most of the day I read."
From Melville House:
Every so often, a book is returned to the library so late, it makes headlines. The due date of the sad book in this particular headline was August 17, 1959.
The New York Public Library recently received a copy of Ideal Marriage by Th.H. Van de Velde, M.D. The librarian reports it's a "very wordy" and scientific guide to sex from 1926. (It's "certainly more juicy than The Tropic of Cancer," writes Billy Parrott of the Mid-Manhattan Library.)
It was such a source of shame, it wasn't returned by the patron, but by his in-laws after the patron's death:
We found this book amongst my late brother-in-law's things. Funny thing is the book didn't support his efforts with his first (and only) marriage… it failed! No wonder he hid the book! So sorry!!
A shocked in-law
You can now download a free copy of the book Expect More for free from David Lankes' website
Book is $9.99 on Amazon - Expect More: Demanding Better Libraries For Today's Complex World
Excerpt: Perhaps, you may think, I am an ivory tower academic blind to the coming disruptive change…like when the Internet was going to put libraries out of business… then Google…then Netflix…then Yahoo! Answers. Here's the plain truth: there is a HUGE disruptive change happening in libraries, and it is facilitated by things like Google and Kindle Unlimited. Libraries are shifting from collection-focused buildings to centers of innovation focused on communities. If you think of libraries as places filled with books, you are in for a bit of a shock. Any library that can be replaced by a $10 a month subscription to stuff SHOULD be replaced.

Special to USA Today: Librarian of the year, man of RWA, aspiring cover model … these were just some of the names Sean Gilmartin was called while attending this year's Romance Writers of America conference in San Antonio.
"I (Gilmartin) was very close to adding car thief" to the list but luckily I can leave that out. Apparently, when a driver is holding a sign that clearly states Barbara Samuel, who just happens to be a seven-time RITA winner and RWA Hall of Famer, that vehicle is not for you. Needless to say, I didn't steal her ride from the airport but ironically was only a few hotel rooms down from her. Barbara, if you're reading this, I promise I wasn't stalking you at the conference; we really just kept running into each other. By coincidence. A lot.
That was the start of my RWA and the launch into my hashtag on Twitter: #SeanDoesRWA. I intended for it to be a way for family and friends to easily follow my escapades, but it actually turned into my best communication tool. People all over the conference were saying hello and despite not having met in person, we were chatting daily. I would then run into someone, standing in line for a book signing or whatnot, and we would actually meet. It was a surreal and incredible experience that lessened the fear deep inside of me that fueled my preconceived notion that as a librarian I would not fit in. It didn't matter that RWA has a special award for librarians — no, I was certain that I would feel isolated in the midst of 2,000 romance authors. I could not have been more wrong, and people could not have been more friendly, kind, and gracious to me every single day of RWA.
Excerpt: "I'm enough of a realist to assume that consumers will gravitate to the cheapest, most convenient source of content, whether that's Amazon or the public library," said Jimmy Thomas, executive director of Colorado's Marmot Library Network. "Amazon continues to set a high standard of convenience libraries should attend to. And every time this huge corporation does something on a massive scale, libraries should be reminded to approach services differently. Competing with Amazon on its own terms is not a good direction for libraries. But thinking about how to complement Amazon is worthwhile."Full piece
In an old industrial building in San Francisco, the lines of American poet Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" are being printed exactly as they were when the first edition was published in 1855. Jeffrey Brown visits Arion Press, one of the country's last fine book printers that handcrafts works from start to finish.
Subscriptions for ebooks are certainly in the news this week. Amazon just announced their Kindle Unlimited offering, taking its place beside Oyster and Scribd as a "one price for all you can eat" Netflix- or Spotify-for-ebooks program. And the Book Industry Study Group has released a lengthy and fact-filled report from Ted Hill and Kate Lara covering subscriptions across publishing segments.
It is hard to quarrel with the report's contention that "subscriptions are here to stay". The report makes clear, and documents extensively, that there are a great variety of ways subscriptions can be offered and that tools making it easier to manage them are becoming cheaper, better, and more ubiquitous. The report suggests that subscriptions could occur for as narrow an offering as one author's works. As technology enables subscription offers to be economically viable with less and less revenue, the tendency for more and more publishers to want to "own" their customers, combined with the tendency for publishers to build up their intellectual property inventory in an audience-centric (vertical) way, either organically or by acquisition, it is easy to see how they could proliferate.
Five years ago, printing your own book was stigmatized and was seen as a mark of failure.
"But now," says Dana Beth Weinberg, a sociologist at Queens College who is studying the industry, "the self-published authors walk into the room, and they say, oh, well, 'I made a quarter million dollars last year, or $100,000, or made $10,000.' And it is still more than what some of these authors are making with their very prestigious contracts."
Weinberg says there is still a strong financial case to be made for publishing books the old-fashioned way, but there are now many well-known independent authors who have made a fortune self-publishing online.
A piece called DIARY from the London Review of Books from Rebecca Solnit. It begins:
"In or around June 1995 human character changed again. Or rather, it began to undergo a metamorphosis that is still not complete, but is profound – and troubling, not least because it is hardly noted. When I think about, say, 1995, or whenever the last moment was before most of us were on the internet and had mobile phones, it seems like a hundred years ago. Letters came once a day, predictably, in the hands of the postal carrier. News came in three flavours – radio, television, print – and at appointed hours. Some of us even had a newspaper delivered every morning."

Elvis Presley's earliest known signature – on a library card he signed as a 13-year-old student in Tupelo, Miss. – is one of the main draws in an auction of Elvis memorabilia to be held at Graceland, the singer's palatial headquarters, in Memphis on Aug. 14.
In 2012, the card was sold for $7500 – a bargain, you would think .

A Sacramento man has donated 13,000 books to the Friends of the Arden-Dimick Library, the largest donation the organization has ever received and one that includes works spanning topics from the Civil War to women's studies.
Frank Rose, 85, spent decades amassing the collection, which he stored in two apartments in the building he manages. Library volunteers this week began packing the books – 500 boxes worth – to move to a storage space provided by Hines, a real estate firm, in preparation for sale. Rose also threw in steel bookcases.
"We take daily donations, but nothing on the scale of Mr. Rose's," said Margaret Clausen, a board member who oversees book sales for the Friends of the Arden-Dimick Library.
ProPublica has a new story about the rise of "canvas fingerprinting," a new method of tracking users without using cookies. It's a method that is apparently quite difficult to block if you're using anything other than Tor Browser. In short, canvas fingerprinting works by sending some instructions to your browser to draw a hidden image -- but does so in a manner making use of some of the unique features of your computer, such that each resulting image is likely to be unique (or nearly unique). The key issue here is that the popular "social sharing" company AddThis, which many sites (note: not ours) use to add "social" buttons to their website, had been experimenting with canvas fingerprinting to identify users even if they don't use cookies. As ProPublica's Julia Angwin notes, it's very difficult to block this kind of thing -- and tons of sites make use of AddThis -- including WhiteHouse.gov (whose privacy policy does not seem to reveal this, saying it only uses Google Analytics as a third party provider).

"Driving the prices lower isn't likely to expand the market of readers, since book prices don't seem to be the deciding factor on whether someone reads a book (time is). But those lower prices directly shrink the incomes of authors, who lack any other means of translating their sales into additional revenue. "

Is this accent wall too bold of a color or is,it outdated? Just recently painted my breakfast kitchen area BM gray owl. Now this living room accent wall screams bold to me. Should I paint it back the color of the living room walls or perhaps the gray owl color. Thanks in advance for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
A vote to re-paint the wall to the color of the living room walls -- plus -- consider painting out the grill of the air vent too -- right now -- it is the focal point of the whole wall! :) |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 14:26
Thank u tea cats. Agree that vent needs to be painted. Here is a picture of breakfast room, kitchen area. This is a vey open space. |
Can you keep the accent wall and paint the others in Gray Owl? |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 14:54
I do love the gray owl. I am not sure that I can convince hubby to repaint this entire room again. It has two story ceilings. The accent wall may have to go,back to the wall color,that is presently on,the other walls. Just know,that I don't think I like my accent wall anymore. |
I vote to make it the same as the other walls. To my eye, it isn't accentuating anything it should be currently. |
- Posted by DreamingoftheUP (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 15:27
Paint the vent blue and live with it for a while. It looks nice and not worth the effort of repainting. If, after a month, you still don't like it, paint the wall the same as the other living room walls. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 15:45
I have to say that I really like it, so I'd keep it and just paint the vent. It picks up the pillow colors and gives the place some more oomph, and accentuates the mirror and the blue and white vases/lamps. What paint color is it? |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 16:01
Nosoccermom, the color,is benjamin moore, buckland blue. I do like color and oftentimes I second guess my decorating decisions. Always helps me to get others opinions and to see it through someone else's eyes. I had painted this back in the winter and liked it then. Now that it is spring it just seems to scream at me. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 17:00
Thank you for the color name! Being screamed at isn't good at all, but try to imagine if everything were the same beige color. Kinda boring, IMO. Maybe bring even more blue and (creamy) white in there. However, I'm no use because I really like it :) |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 17:16
Thanks for,ur support Nosoccermom. ... I don't like blah, either...I have always liked color.... Thanks |
I vote to paint the accent wall the same color as the rest of the room. As it is now it feels a little monolithic and demanding of attention. Truthfully, I'm not a big fan of blue so that could also be influencing my reaction. I freely admit that I'm a fan of boring walls and doing something else for excitement. |
- Posted by boopadaboo (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 18:02
I like the it, but agree that the vents should be painted the same as the walls they are on. I would like to see it from farther away though. I could see how it is such a big contrast from the other walls that it might be overpowering in person. |
I like it, but I like blue. |
- Posted by joaniepoanie (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 19:00
I like it and it carries over the blue in your kitchen counters balancing out the space. I think it is appropriate as an accent wall because of the fireplace. |
- Posted by jennyzone5 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 19:45
I like it as an accent wall but that shade of blue looks dated to me. A more muted shade of blue would look better IMHO. |
I usually don't like accent walls, like Linelle I am a boring wall fan myself but I really like your blue wall. I would paint out the vent cover though. |
- Posted by city2burbs (My Page) on Sat, Apr 19, 14 at 23:27
I agree with possibly a different shade of blue? |
Well, I don't like accent walls or strong blues, so you already know where I'm headed. Paint the same as the other walls. Then get a big colorful piece of art for over the fireplace. The only art I see in the room, which is a way to bring more color into the room, is way up high (and not terribly colorful) -- the one over the door makes me nervous, BTW. If you're on a budget, stores like Home Goods, Pier One, and sometime even Target have large colorful canvases that might work. |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 7:39
Thanks everyone for all your help. I think I will probably do away with the strong blue accent wall. I will either paint the color of the wall the same as all the other walls in living room or possibly the BM gray owl that i have in kitchen breakfast room area. The main reason that I painted the wall the strong blue was that it seemed blah or needed something to,perk the fireplace area up. I wonder what it would look like if I went to the original color, and painted the mantel with Anne sloan chalk paint. Any opinions on this. Thanks for all,your help. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 8:25
I vote to keep the wall an accent color, but tone it down to a more gray denim blue. |
LOL gotta love that color - my maiden name! |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 9:44
I would paint it the same as the other walls. There's so much calling for attention around the room that the accent wall is just one. more. thing. It's a small room with something hung on every wall, and every surface holds multiple objects. It needs a restful surface, so let it be the walls. I like sueb's idea to put colorful art over the FP, and not something very busy. |
I don't mind the blue but the room maybe needs more to tie in to it besides the pillows/lamps - perhaps a brighter or lighter area rug? If you repaint it the room probably will want more accent color for interest. |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 8:42
Here is a picture of the rug close up with its rich colors. Rug will probably have to stay. I am kind of leaning toward the idea of painting wall the same as others in living room, and change out mirror for a large piece of art. Decisions...decisions... |
- Posted by katrina_ellen (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 9:22
I have an accent wall in my living room and I like it, but for your room I think I would paint it the same as the other walls because it is already a focal point because of the fireplace and I don't think it needs any additional embellishment. |
- Posted by sheesharee (My Page) on Tue, Apr 22, 14 at 12:39
I like it, but I also think it would look nice painted the existing wall color or the gray owl. I think it looks really nice with all the other blue in the room. What is the light paint color in the LR? You mention painting the mantel with chalk paint. Is it currently the same color as the rest of the trim? I like it as is and wouldn't paint it. What color chalk paint were you considering? Have you been looking at a lot of blog inspiration lately? I found that when I was spending a lot of time planning a certain project I started thinking about making all kinds of other changes - changes that aren't me. I took a few week break from looking at anything decorating related and realized I still love the same look I have even though it's not trendy. If this applies to you, try taking a break so you can see if you're being true to you. Very pretty rooms! - Also wanted to mention I really like the mirror. I think art would look nice too if you found something you liked, but I honestly like it right where it's at. It appears expensive, is very nice looking, and I think it works in that spot. I wouldn't change it unless you're tired of it. |

I usually don't like accent walls but I like it. I think you just need some more blue elsewhere in the room so it doesn't look like it appeared out of nowhere. What about some blue in some window treatments? I could see some panels with a large scale pattern with a lot of blue in it. I also love your mirror. I would hang it up higher and use some greenery on your mantle. Honestly, the vent doesn't even bother me. Pretty room! |
- Posted by eagertopaint (My Page) on Wed, Apr 23, 14 at 20:45
Sheesharee, the color of the paint on the other walls is BM Frappee. I am very happy with that color. The blue accent wall once was that color. I painted the accent wall blue last November. I love color. Just this wall seems to,be staring at me lately. Yes, I have been looking at a lot of blogs lately for inspiration. I kind of like my cluttered homey look. Then at times I second guess my decisions. Your telling me to,take a break and be true to myself is just what I needed to,hear. thanks. Jam, thanks for your kind comments. I will certainly consider the panels with some blue. I once had panels ,but didn't care for the fabric that I had used. I think large scale blue might be just what it needs, |
I could never understand why one needs an accent wall. I would get rid of it, or maybe paint it a little darker shade of gray if you want a little more contrast. |
If you really still want an accent wall, I'd pick a a bit darker than the other walls, but in the same color scheme. I, myself, would just paint it the color of the other walls..with no accent wall. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 8:40
Actually, seeing the whole room, rather than an accent wall, I'd paint the fireplace wall, the ceiling and the wall opposite the fireplace one color and then paint the end walls something different. A dark color on the ceiling will help bring the high ceiling down and make the room feel more unified and accessible. |

I'll try to make this short, but basically I brewed up BM's Centennial Blonde using Deathbrewer's PM method. I've done about 5 beers this way and they all turned out ok. Nothing great, nothing bad. I really am looking for something more if I continue though. So I decided to do back to back brews of the same beers with some slight variation in process and see what happpened. First beer used bottled drinking water that had been in the basement for about a year. Grains and DME were from the big box store-packaged for who knows how long-and wyeast. Everything went ok. Mash temp jumped around a bit as I have a new stove and tried to get everything dialed in. Dumped everything in the carboy, trub and all. Topped off to 5.5 gallons and pitched. Fermentation was slow to start and not very vigorous. The wyeast packet never swelled, which has happened before. OG was a little high. 1.051 and the recipe says around 1.040. Second beer used fresh bought bottled drinking water. Different company. Grains were from LHBS out of bulk bins. DME from them as well. Only 1 lb DME instead of 2 to keep the gravity down. Safale this time. Mash was more consistent with temperature. Racked to carboy. Topped off to about 4.8 gallons in smaller carboy. Fermentation was quick to take off and very vigorous. OG was 1.043. The first beer is aweful. I mean, I've never made something so bad. They're both about a week into carbing in the keg. I will be interested to see if this is ever drinkable. I'll edit with a better description in a few weeks once it carbs up and a true comparison can be done. The second beer is good. I wouldn't say great, but it's early. More of what I think of for a blonde. Kind of like a sessionable Leffe. I can see this being quite good in the near future. I know I had too many changes in process to nail down what made the difference. Wasn't really the goal. Just wanted to see if these would be different at all. Could I be consistent?....do small things really make a difference?....well obviously they do. I'm chalking it up to either water, ingredients, or yeast. The way it tastes, I'm thinking ingredients. What say you and thanks for listening.
Where did they finish? Old grain can be a real problem and since they were pre-packaged, who knows?
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Both went down to 1.012. Have you had a problem with old grain? What sort of flavor profile can it produce? Thanks for reading my long boring story.
Give them some time. There is no doubt they will be different beers, but time makes a huge difference in almost all beers I have made. I make BM's CB and while its not bad fresh, it is much better with 4-6 weeks on it. It is one that many of my friends have requested often.
I don't pretend to know what's going on but I just read in Palmer's How to Brew that improperly stored grains can cause flavors similar to freshly cut grass, or even moldy.... any similarity to what you're tasting?

Title: | Legal Malpractice Law: Problems and Prevention |
Author: | Fortney, Susan Saab |
Abstract: | This problem-oriented text is designed for use in elective courses on legal malpractice, professional liability, advanced legal ethics, or advanced torts, or in required professional responsibility classes that want to focus more on malpractice than on discipline. Each chapter includes explanatory text that relies on recent cases, code provisions, statutes, and commentary. A few principal cases offer insight into the current state of legal malpractice law. The problems, including many that are based on actual controversies, deal with liability concerns that practitioners encounter. The book integrates malpractice prevention lessons. Relevant ethics rules are discussed. A comprehensive teacher's manual is available. |

Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens Coming Soon
It looks like Sigma is about to announce a new 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens in its Sports line.
Tamron recently introduced a new 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC lens, which bests the range of Sigma's current 150-500mm lens. With the wave that Sigma is riding now that it has produced hit after hit, look for the new Sigma 150-600mm model to be a solid performer. [Read more…]
Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens Coming in January
Tamron's new new 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DI VC USD lens that is set to replace the current 200-500mm version will be available in the US on January 17, 2014. Tamron still hasn't released pricing on the new lens; however, I would expect it to come in higher than the $949 street price of the existing 200-500mm lens.
Tamron offers a little more detail into the build of the lens with its latest press release.
Employing 20 elements in 13 groups and boasting an advanced optical design, the lens delivers a superior balance of resolution and contrast for sharp, clear images. The front group contains three LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements (two in the first group, one in the third) for enhanced optical correction effectiveness, enabling the lens to thoroughly compensate for on-axis aberrations at the telephoto end. The lens also adopts eBAND Coating, developed from state-of-the-art coating technologies, and conventional BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating to greatly suppress ghosting and flare even when shooting under adverse lighting conditions.
The new 150-600mm lens is already listed at B&H Photo for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts; however, as noted above, there is no pricing info as of yet.
Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DI VC USD in Development
Tamron has announced the development of a new 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DI VC USD lens to replace the current 200-500mm version. The lens will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts and is compatible with both full frame and APS-C formats. [Read more…]

Ok soon I plan to brew a wheat beer that is hoped with arg cascade and maybe some lemon zest (not sure about that yet). But I don't know if the banana and clove flavor the hefeweizin yeast has would be good with the lemon grass flavor of the hops or should I you an american ale yeast like california ale that has a cleaner taste so the hops comes through better.
I like wheat beers, but not hefeweisens, so this is an easy question for me. I use WLP028 (Edinburgh) for wheat beers with good results. I've also used Safale's US-05.
If you ferment with hefe yeast at lower temps it is not going to give off big banana flavors. This might be the way to go.
try WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast. less Phenolics and Esters.
I would go with the top 2. American Hefe fermented on the lower end.

The US Air Force expects to start fielding life support systems modifications for its fleet of Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor air superiority fighters this January.
"UPG [upper pressure garment] valves are being shipped now, and the vests will be modified locally," says the USAF's Air Combat Command (ACC). "We expect units will start flying with the modified vests later this month, which alleviates the current restriction that has them flying without the vests at altitudes below 44,000 feet unless otherwise directed."
The Raptor, which is regarded as the USAF's premier air-to-air fighter, had been operating under a number of operational limitations because of a suspected problem with the aircraft's onboard oxygen generation system (OBOGS). The problem was severe enough that the USAF was forced to ground the Raptor for four months in 2011 after more than a dozen "physiological incidents" with symptoms resembling hypoxia. After the USAF concluded that the pilot's Combat Edge upper pressure garment was the source of the problem, the service has slowly been lifting restrictions on the Raptor's operations. Other than the altitude limitation, the only other remaining restriction on F-22 is that the aircraft is currently precluded from executing the Alaska air sovereignty mission.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Commerce Secretary John Bryson Visits Patent and Trademark Office Headquarters
Secretary John Bryson stopped by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia on Friday to meet with employees and tour the facility. It was the first time he had visited the USPTO office since being confirmed as Commerce Secretary in October of last year.
While he was there, the Secretary congratulated the USPTO for its work on the implementation of the historic America Invents Act, which encourages innovation by making the first set of major reforms in the U.S. patent system since the 1800s. The America Invents Act allows businesses to get new ideas to market faster by reducing the time it takes to review applications for new patents to 12 months. By working to implement this law and rebuilding America's intellectual property system from the ground up, the USPTO is making it easier for businesses to invest in new technologies, launch new industries, and create new jobs—in a 21st century global market.
Bryson also had the opportunity to discuss the USPTO's efforts to improve patent quality. The USPTO has issued new guidelines that will clarify and tighten the standards for the issuance of patents. The new guidelines offer a more comprehensive measurement of the quality of patent examinations to ensure high standards in our patent process.

Holly's comment: I like to use rhodiola - both the rosea and kirilowii - to help me be more alert if i have to get up early or handle demanding mental tasks or a large workload. It doesn't make you agitated like tea of coffee but does the same job. In fact, as it describes here, rhodiola relieves stress. The rosea is the Russian version and the kirilowii Tibetan. The kirilowii is stronger both in taste and effect. Wednesday, January 30, 2008 by: Leslee Dru Browning The herbal extract of a yellow-flowered mountain plant indigenous to the Arctic regions of Europe and Asia increased the lifespan of fruit fly populations, according to a University of California, Irvine study. Flies that ate a diet rich with Rhodiola rosea, an herbal supplement long used for its purported stress-relief effects, lived an average of 10 percent longer than fly groups that didn't eat the herb. Study results appear in the online education news release from the University of California, Irvine "Although this study does not present clinical evidence that Rhodiola can extend human life, the finding that it does extend the lifespan of a model organism, combined with its known health benefits in humans, make this herb a promising candidate for further anti-aging research," said Mahtab Jafari, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences and study leader. "Our results reveal that Rhodiola is worthy of continued study, and we are now investigating why this herb works to increase lifespan." In their study, the UC Irvine researchers fed adult fruit fly populations diets supplemented at different dose levels with four herbs known for their anti-aging properties. The herbs were mixed into a yeast paste, which adult flies ate for the duration of their lives. Three of the herbs – known by their Chinese names as Lu Duo Wei, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang and San Zhi Pian – had no effect on fruit fly longevity, while Rhodiola was found to significantly reduce mortality. On average, Rhodiola increased survival for 3.5 days in males and 3.2 days in females. Rhodiola rosea, also known as the golden root, grows in cold climates at high altitudes and has been used by Scandinavians and Russians for centuries for its anti-stress qualities. The herb is thought to have anti-oxidative properties and has been widely studied. Soviet researchers have been studying Rhodiola since the 1940s on athletes and cosmonauts, finding that the herb boosts the body's response to stress. And earlier this year, a Nordic Journal of Psychiatry study on people with mild-to-moderate depression showed that patients taking a Rhodiola extract called SHR-5 reported fewer symptoms of depression than did those who took a placebo. Jafari said she is evaluating the molecular mechanism of Rhodiola by measuring its impact on energy metabolism, oxidative stress and anti-oxidant defenses in fruit flies. She is also beginning studies in mice and in mouse and human cell cultures. These latter studies should help understand the benefits of Rhodiola seen in human trials. Past Herbal Uses of Rhodiola Rosea as a Treatment for Depression by Herbalist Rhodiola rosea is classified as an adaptogen herb, which means it increase the body's ability to cope with internal and external stress factors, and normalize the functions of the organism. Adaptogen herbs help maintain the stable internal environment inside the organism known as homeostasis. Russia has used Rhodiola rosea for years to enhance mental and physical performance. It has been widely used by Russian athletes and cosmonauts to increase energy. In addition, Russian medicine has also traditionally given Rhodiola rosea to its soldiers, sportsmen and aging political leaders as an effective anti-aging medicine. Rhodiola rosea helped them to improve cognitive functions and physical performance. Rhodiola rosea also has extraordinary pharmacological properties as an anti-depressive agent. The anti-depressive and anti-stress activity of Rhodiola rosea is higher than that of St. John's Wort, Ginkgo biloba and Panax Ginseng. In another clinical trial, 150 individuals suffering from depression took Rhodiola rosea extracts for a period of one month. At the end of that period, two-thirds of them had full remission of clinical manifestations of depression, and had become more active and more sociable. Daytime weakness and general weakness disappeared. |

Is a membership on Dave's worth it?
I am on BGI and I like that but it is hard to tell where folks are from and they seem super interested in creating a super-species of plant. That goes way beyond my interest level at this point. Or am I better off just staying here with the cool kids :) |
Follow-Up Postings:

www I've been a member on Dave's since April, 2004! I've met alot of nice people over there! I can think of a couple specifically! They each have a special place in my heart! Never met them - but love them to death! :) I eventually joined BGI - but honestly, I think I've been there maybe once, or twice! I can't really give an opinion of the place. I'm sure it's like most of the forums - nice people! :) Gardenweb is my #1 home! Love it here! Mike |
Dave's is worth it if you want to participate in the co-ops :) |
Hi Nicole, Im a memeber of Daves too, like Mike said lots of nice folks there too and they also have a Marketplace where you can buy plants/seeds. Karen |
I also belong to Dave's and BGI. I have been a member of Dave's since 2001.To me, it is definately worth it!The co-ops are a BIG plus, and the site is so easy to navagate thru. If you want to post pics, the size is automatically reduced. I have lots of great on-line friends there. Dee |

okay, more money out the door on my "little plant hobby" as stated by my grandmother. |

WWW, I hope you don't feel that your membership in BGi is a waste. I think in any group, society or organization you will find members with varying levels of experience and knowledge. You shouldn't let that intimidate you. I have not run into any group that does not make you feel welcome or provide support thru the sharing of knowledge and plant material. I have found that there is usually an introductory period where members are getting a feel on you as much as you are on the surroundings. What you are seeing in the forums is that there are many more aspects to growing brugs (or any other plants) than just sticking them in your garden and watching them do their stuff. I think my season is too short to get into hybridizing but, I love to see what others are doing and the crosses they are producing. Then there's the whole "cold group" thing that blows me away and is all new to me. I find it really exciting to see what people in other parts of the world are doing. I absolutely can't wait until we can get a few of these varieties here in Canada. I would say to join as many groups as you can - I don't see it as a waste of time or money. |
- Posted by wickedwickedwitch (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 8:19
I like BGI because they talk about so many varieties I have never heard of. But, as I said, they go way beyond what I do with my plants. I am constantly on there looking at pictures of brug varieties. I have to prioritize where my time goes like everyone else. I think I will join Daves. |
- Posted by borrachero (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 12:09
Please don't feel threatened by what goes on on BGI. We're all just crazy about Brugs and we all get along fairly well and we love to share our opinions and knowledge. Post some pictures, get some opinions, browse the forums, tell some jokes, share some recipes. Shawn was saying that after you make your free draws from the seed bank the BGI membership almost pays for itself. We've even been using the chat room a lot lately. Come on in and introduce yourself. It' a riot! |
WWW BGI is a Wonderful place.. This is a busy time of yr for everyone.. I know I questioned the "clickish" atmosphere becoz I wasn't use to that.. They are warm and welcoming wonderful people.. My sub. just ran out and it will be a while before I can join back in ...BUT I look forward to it and will be missing many friends.. JUST jump in with both feet and POST!!! I think you will find it a fun place to hang out.. Kylie |

Reviewed Homemade Red Hot Sauce
Jul 14, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Wow. So bad. Way, way too vinegary. It's hot enough, but the vinegar flavor is totally overwhelming. Maybe I should have expected that since it's a Louisiana-style sauce, but this is inedible. Thanks for the lesson, though. I guess I don't care much for vinegar-based hot sauces.""
