Photography Archive
The dazzling lights of David LaChapelle's hyper-realistic photographs, glinting from neon and metallic and shimmering objects, send a hazy glow into the dark background; a magical aura that conjures up memories of fairground rides and bonfire nights and hot breath misting up the air in front of you. The photographer's images are no less magical really; they draw you in, bedazzled and bewildered, like a ditzy moth drawn to a lamp, and then surprise you by being even more brilliant than you realised at first.
Imagine for a moment that the shoebox under your bed was filled not with photos of your Great Aunt June snoozing on the sofa last Christmas, but with photographs taken in space by astronauts on Apollo 14. For a lucky few at NASA this is (almost) true, and fortunately they're more than happy to share their treasures with us proles in the form of a new exhibition at London's BREESE Little Gallery.
I think we can all agree that in the past few years food photography has pretty much reigned the internet as far as image-porn blogging is concerned. And yes, photographing tangerines on bright blue backgrounds does always look nice, we get it. But among the thousands of people documenting food in order to gain online notoriety there are some photographers who are known in the industry as the ones who can really, really shoot food.
The debate over so-called "ruin porn" has raged for several years now, exploring the cultural and ethical ramifications of turning the decrepit and dilapidated into art. But if anyone could breathe new life into this kind of project, it's Nadav Kander. The photographer's new show Dust opens in London today, and takes as its epigraph the T.S Eliot line: "I will show you fear in a handful of dust."
The best portrait photography is truly mesmerising; a compliment which can surely be paid to Alex Ten Napel's series of Alzheimer's patients. In a somewhat ironic manner, the Dutch photographer has created enrapturing, memorable images of elderly and enigmatic faces. They're both heartbreaking and joyful, delightful and despairing, as Alex has caught "that specific moment portrait photographers wait for: the moment in which posture and facial expression come together in a meaningful manner."
There's not an amateur photographer alive who hasn't got a roll of film back from the developing booth of their local supermarket to find that almost every picture is clouded over by a giant fleshy finger. Usually it obstructs most if not all of the image and sends the photograph itself catapulting straight into the nearest bin in a fit of frustration.
A year on since we first covered George Osodi's work on the site he continues to astound us. The Lagos-based photographer produces some of the most incredible photojournalism I've ever seen; this series Nigeria Monarchs: The Custodians of Peace and Cultural Heritage documents the figures across Nigeria who, in spite of having no constitutional rule since the monarchy was officially abolished in 1963, remain key personalities in the country's political landscape. The travelling exhibition had a stint in London last year and is about to open in Budapest, Hungary, serving as further proof (if any was needed) of the curiosity which exists worldwide about these majestic and exotic figures. What's more George hopes to photograph 100 of the monarchs, so the collection is not due to stop growing any time soon.
September is always a time for nostalgia; it's that back-to-school, turning-of-the-seasons vibe that goes hand-in-hand with a certain sense of self-reflection. Few moments stick in our minds and come to define our personal stories more than our first kiss; that giddy mixture of nerves, anticipation and a feeling of the moment's huge significance that rarely tallies with the physical reality! For its latest brief, MOPHOTO are working with Cornetto and asking young photographers to create an image of a first kiss that captures that dizzying array of emotions in a single visual.
I'm loth to comment on summer's swift disappearance or the vague possibility that it might get warm again in the coming weeks, but how can I miss the opportunity which this series by Anaïs Boileau has so generously handed me? This brilliant photo-series examines the women who live for a tan, happily sunning themselves with foil trays pressed to their chins and eye-protectors plastered to their sockets. There's something gently teasing and kind of funny but also really well-constructed about her images – the props make for a natural frame so you're confronted with a very immediate manifestation of our society's obsession with bronzed skin, which seems more ridiculous the longer you think about it.
Family life can be strange, unsettling and oppressive as well as happy, funny and ridiculous, and it's this sometimes-sinister underside of the domestic sphere photographer Joanna Piotrowska seeks to elevate with her series FROWST. Her black and white images capture ambivalence and double meaning in the family home; brothers and sisters lie awkwardly across one another and pull at each other's bodies in strangely stagnant compositions, while oddly familiar environments are imbued with a quiet strangeness that's not entirely new.
Riley wanted to be like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn when he grew up; he wanted to hunt for treasure and go on adventures. Riley's never forgotten the magical lure of finding hidden pennies and bottle tops, silver and scraps, and when scavenging he finds himself transformed into a mythical adventurer like a character in a tale by Mark Twain.
Where do dreams come true? "Disneyland!" squeal the indoctrinated masses. Sadly, the dream's over for the exhibits of Yesterland, which is a photo archive of rides, restaurants and rodeos which are no more. Or, as Yesterland likes to style itself, "a theme park on the web."
There's something wonderfully honest about Kieran Kesner's portraits of Ukraine. His camera acknowledges there's a civil war tearing the country apart – there are protests and soldiers and guns and casualties – but this isn't the sum total of what is happening there. There are still priests saying prayers and farmers plucking potatoes from the fields and cyclists on their bikes; what we see on the news is only part of the story Kieran suggests.
South African photographer Dillon Marsh has long been drawn to themes that touch on environmentalism and our relationship with the world around us, and in recent years these interests have become more pronounced.
Let's get this straight, Anna Victoria Best's work is maybe some of the most exciting photography I've ever seen. That may sound like a total exaggeration but it's true – it is not often that someone's work is so consistently brilliant throughout an entire portfolio, or that a few simple portraits can hold such a huge amount of power. If I wasn't taken with the photos of Ashley Williams (which I was, a lot) then the fashion editorial shoot for Varon was like the photographic equivalent of pudding. You can almost hear those shoes squeaking on the lino as they do the Twist.
Love it or loathe it, mobile phone photography is entrenched in our modern media culture. But it's facile to lump this ever-growing phenomenon under a single umbrella, encompassing as it does everything from hipsters' obsession with Instagramming their burgers to the vital role of smartphone-wielding citizen journalists in conflicts around the world. In recognition of the increasing importance of mobile phone photography and the numerous narratives intertwined with it, the British Journal of Photography has launched fltr, which bills itself as "the only magazine dedicated to mobile photographers."
In the last couple of weeks the professional football season has returned in all its overhyped glory, but for thousands of amateurs around the UK it's the start of the Sunday League season that really matters.
Photographer Viviane Sassen has crafted an aesthetic which operates way beyond the traditional confines of her medium. She's previously made work which would be considered fashion photography, for example, but in which the clothes featured never seem to be the driving force behind the image. Similarly, her latest series Axiom toys with notions of light, colour and illusion in a way which seems to lean towards graphic art, but each image meshes the three elements together so effortlessly that you scarcely have time to ponder the idea behind it.
In an untidy apartment in Milan, a lion roars. Nearby, an armadillo sniffs a pile of papers. An ibex is fed up; he can't see very well for all the bubble wrap around his head. But these aren't escapees from the zoo; they're a failed diorama.
Hey there's a big floppy pepperoni on that Palomino! Most days I'd find the idea of wasted pizza an atrocity not worthy of further promotion, but I guess this photo series is kind of different. In a somewhat strange diversion from his otherwise rather professional work, this photographer has chosen to take countless pizzas into the great outdoors and capture them against the backdrop of the natural world. Jonpaul Douglass, whose name is a little like someone drunkenly writing John Paul Douglas, has snapped the humble pizza on sun loungers, in bushes, draped over basketball hoops, and even clinging for dear life over the barrel of a military tank. Why is this good? It just is; the quality of the photos is terrific, and ten extra points to Jonpaul who braved looking mega-weird in public to get these shots.
Canadian-born photographer Stephanie Noritz lives and works in New York where she freelances for the likes of Monocle, Bloomberg Businessweek, Dazed and Confused and New York Magazine amongst others. Her imagery is defined by sharp lighting, relaxed atmosphere and – most importantly – a youthful subject matter – whether that's kids skating vert ramps or fast-paced little league games.
"AMERICA: Who Stole The Dream?" reads a poster in the newsroom of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Amid towering piles of papers and notepads, styrofoam coffee cups and creaking, half-broken office chairs, this is the question asked by photographer and writer Will Steacy.
Here at It's Nice That we spend an awful lot of time talking about, thinking about and writing about creatives but ultimately we don't get too many chances to really see what goes on in their day-to-day working lives…until now. Our new collaboration with super-cool eyewear brand Ace & Tate – who believe in great design and ultimate customer choice – is taking us inside the studios, and inside the minds, of a host of some of our favourite creatives.
Palm Springs-based photographer Brian Pescador is leading a double life. By day he makes his living chopping locks and trimming beards as a travelling barber, and by night (also quite often during the day, but presumably when he's not cutting hair) he's an incredibly talented photographer. Naturally as a resident of the Coachella Valley, he's got a wealth of stunning scenery to go out and shoot whenever he sees fit, but the best of his photography marries the people and places of his homeland into an idyllic portrait of youthful hedonism.
The curious work of Corinne Day seems to rear its ever-appealing head every now and again, just to remind us of a time gone by that we weren't part of, and will never fully understand. Gaining worldwide notoriety with her famous, career-making shots of a teen Kate Moss on Camber Sands for The Face, Corinne's groundbreaking photographs of quintessentially British, black-soled urchins were to become stuff of legend. Contrived shoots of hired models were never her thing, instead Corinne lifted her lens to those closest to her – the ones doing the washing up, smoking fags out of windows, watching telly. The fact that all her friends were rebellious models was just a bonus.
There are several times in your life when you look quite ridiculous and have no choice but to embrace it; at the dentist, with a mouthful of rubber glove and some green gunge, for example, or when you're playing Twister and you have to stretch from one end of the mat to the other with a single left foot. When you come out the end of a water slide is a pretty solid one too, as Krista Long points out; you're too busy trying to retrieve your bikini bottoms from where they've disappeared to without swallowing vast amounts of pool water to even think twice about what you're doing with your face. (Hint, you look hilarious.)
There's a reason behind the popular notion that black and white photography makes people appear better looking – it's true. Not saying for a minute mind you that the girls that Jeff Boudreau has photographed of late aren't some of the most beautiful, dewy creatures walking the earth, but there is a certain charm about their monochromatic portraits that you perhaps wouldn't get with colour film. Jeff is from Florida but now lives and works in London, filling his days with editorial fashion shoots and advertising briefs. This latest personal series compares his subjects to wild flowers in the dark – beautiful.
I always find it quite beguiling to look at contemporary artwork which looks like it belongs to another time, and Emma Hartvig's oddly captivating images are a prime example of this kind of displacement. Born in Sweden but based in London, Emma photographs nudes, somehow succeeding in imbuing the human form with all of the surreal static energy of a Vermeer painting. Her photographs are shot through with shimmering satin and velvet which serves to frame her subjects as though they were pieces of half-decayed fruit carefully laid out ready to paint. What's more, she does all of this through photography, pushing her camera to function as though it were a set of oils. The result is impressive and quietly beautiful.
We're all pretty used to Tumblrs chock-full of palpable images of half-naked, creamy fleshed men and women surrounded by bowls of figs, cherry blossom and thrift store rugs. Maybe one of them is casually smoking a cigarette out of a car window on a lakeside road trip, perhaps one is clutching a can of beer, wrapped in a towel after skinny-dipping, laughing into the night.
There's been a disproportionate amount of really fantastic portraiture flying round the It's Nice That studios of late. I don't know what's prompted the sudden burst, but the number of photographers fine-tuning their ability to capture subtle nuances of a person's character in accordance with their posture, their setting, the kind and colour of the clothes they wear and the distinct way they gaze into the lens, is astounding.
Welcome to George's world. George Fowler is a compulsive hoarder and over the year that she spent photographing him Corinna Kern came to "understand the human nature that lies behind his unusual condition." Looking at these pictures, you can tell that there's a closeness between the young woman behind the camera and the old man in front of it.
We love that in half the photos in Michelle Groskopf's series That Time I Spent 15 Years In NY you can't tell that they're taken in New York. Sure, the odd yellow taxi sneaks by, but other pictures reveal a funny, little-known side of the city. Take the shot of a man holding a metal detector casually strolling across a beach in his wetsuit and what looks like a bee-keeper's cap, while some kids play with buckets and spades, completely oblivious to the oddball wandering past. The detail she picks out is just amazing – grazed knees, eccentric sunglasses, the stars and stripes on a pair of ill-advised pants.
I came across Michael Alberry's work in the most recent issue of The British Journal of Photography and was immediately drawn in to his excellent project A Time To Dance. It explores Penetcostal worship in the UK, and Michael is particularly interested in how media and technology shape the services, which are live streamed on the internet while attendees snap away on their smartphones.
For someone whose go-to backdrop is a pastel-coloured sheet or a field of newly blossomed wild flowers, you'd be surprised at the weight at which Jody Rogac's photographs can pack a punch. Her countless snaps of intelligent, powerful men and women are infused with a discreet elegance which is the end product of her wild combination of styling, choice of subject and ever-perfect composition.
It's the first day of August, and we're celebrating with the hazy, sun-drenched work of Italian-born, New York-based photographer Samantha Casolari. Incredibly skilled, she's crafted an aesthetic that injects ethereality into the least likely of scenes – tequila distilleries in Mexico, high-end fashion editorials, huge BMX festivals included – without losing the element of photo-reportage that's so integral to her work. She's shot for clients so diverse that you'd have a job summing them up, and exhibited all over the world too. Prolific? Yeah, just a tad.
Take some sexy shaped candles and photographs of naked women lounging around their houses and sprawling over the Crystal Palace dinosaur statues, and you've got yourself photographer Camille Vivier's portfolio. Odd? Yes. Intriguing? Certainly. But I think that's the point.
Freelance photographer and photo-editor Geordie Wood is a man with tricks up his sleeve. His role as "a one-person photography department" at The Fader, not to mention innumerable commissions for publications from The New York Times and TIME to Vogue and Nowness, prove that he knows his stuff, and his skill is there fore the seeing in his photographs.
It's about time we featured photographer Peter Hapak on our site; his portraits have sure graced the pages of many a prestigious publication. His portfolio is the photographic equivalent of a box of Quality Street; not only packed with famous faces, but also cracking clients like TIME, The New York Times Magazine and The Times. In case you were wondering, he doesn't exclusively work for publications with "time" in the title – he shot an Emmy portfolio for Variety earlier this year. Born in Hungary and no less than a fourth generation photographer, Peter has a timeless (sorry, couldn't resist) style, finding something in these familiar faces which hasn't quite been captured before. Thankfully, unlike a tin of everyone's favourite Christmas chocolates, the treats in Peter's portfolio seem to last forever. Feast your eyes, my friends.
We've posted before about how David Brandon Geeting creates striking images of seemingly ordinary objects and revitalises the age old still life. With these shiny new photographs, he bumps the beauty up to another level of aesthetic glee. Hyper-colourful, vibrant and sharp, these images are meticulously crafted compilations of – well – stuff. But looked at through David's lens this stuff is seen in all its glory; never has a pepper looked so brilliantly, crunchily, juicily red, or a rubber glove so squeakily, summery yellow. This is a man who clearly delights in design – if I was a banana, I'd want David to take my picture.
I'm not sure how well Only Fools And Horses translates as a cultural reference point to our international readers; there's something quintessentially British about the sitcom featuring a get-rich-quick ducker and diver in his (pre-trendy) Peckham flat. But young London-based photographer Nadia Lee Cohen took Del Boy's now-iconic home – with its charming hodge-podge of faux sophisticated stylings – and used it as the backdrop for this slightly unsettling shoot. Nadia's work has a very pronounced slick, shiny and colour-saturated aesthetic that fits this slightly odd narrative perfectly – this mysterious femme fatale seems at one moment confidently at home in Del Boy's surroundings, at others slightly bewildered. It's weird, and I love it.

Each academic degree program will undergo an Academic Program Review on a seven-year cycle. This review will serve to evaluate the academic and administrative quality and productivity of academic programs. The outcome of the process is to provide information such as program strengths, strategic value, areas to be strengthened and future opportunities. This information will provide input for knowledge-based strategic planning, analysis, and decision-making. As a result, the university will be positioned to ascertain whether programs should be enhanced, maintained, eliminated, or subject to further scrutiny.
The program review policy differentiates self study content requirements, review processes, and timelines for programs with and without discipline specific accreditation.

Love this bag! I put...
Verified Purchase
Love this bag! I put it through its paces for two months of travel and research
in Europe, using it as a computer bag/carry-all, and it was perfect for the job.
Plenty of room for a computer (13-inch), cables, and papers, and the external
pockets were great for all the stuff that goes into a purse/carry-all (plus I
always knew where stuff was). Some might prefer the large internal pocket to be
a bit wider, though this slimmer design encouraged me to be judicious about what
I was schlepping around. All around, a truly great bag, and I'm expecting it to
make many more international trips.

This is a bag you will love:
I am normally too lazy to write such reviews, beside who has time these days. But I felt that I have write something and tell people about this product. This bag is the most amazing bag I ever purchased as a matter of fact I bought 2 of this product. Let me tell why I love this product so much, it strong so strong I pack it with all sorts of crap and man this thing stands any beating. The design and all these pockets inside and outside it will make you busy looking for stuff, and this is not a bad thing. I have 2 Cell phones iPad and iPod all fit nicely in the front and inside pockets. The thing it is a little issue I hope they fix that in the next generation, the fabric is so thin so it doesn't provide padding and protection to electronic devices (laptop, iPad, etc.) so if they add a padding compartment it will make this product the best bag in the world. Last is the price trust me when I tell $81 is not that expensive specially when you review other products in the market they more expensive and less functional, it is worth the price. I highly recommend this product. 6 people found this helpful

Best Wise-Walker Bag!...
Verified Purchase
Best Wise-Walker Bag!
This is my favorite everyday bag! My 8.5 x 11 inch spiral bound sketchbook fits comfortably in the large back slip-pocket (can access quickly, no bending of the spiral-loops, and decent protection from the elements). There are several useful pockets for quick access to keys, favorite pens, and a great Velcro pouch for my phone. Carried this bag on a recent trip to Los Angeles and was thankful! It fits perfectly under the seat on the airplane, it is comfortable to use all day on the ground, and I never had to "stop" and fish-around for anything. I used to carry the Shoulder Bag but had to retire it when the non-slip shoulder pad became as slick as ice! The Toto Bag is better because it has handles and various pockets at varying heights. I love this bag! 5 people found this helpful

This is my work bag!...
Verified Purchase
This is my work bag! It is a wonderful bag that keeps my work life organized. My
work involves a bit of travelling from place to place and this bag makes it so
much easier for me to stuff away what I need in very accessible spots. This is
what I usually stuff in the main compartment: 3x ~1" duotangs, 1x clipboard, 1 x
200 page notebook, 1x 13.3" laptop in a sleeve, and 1x flat pencil case. I use
the side water bottle pocket for my laptops power adapter! It fits perfectly.
And I love the front pockets as they allow me to quickly access items
(cellphone, keys, small tools, sunglasses etc), so that I don't have to dig for
them in the larger compartments. If there was one thing about this bag that
could be improved upon, it would be more padding on the bottom. It hasn't broken
through, but I would like the extra protection as I often leave my bag on the
floor. Overall though, this is a super nice bag!

...and Becomes Your Holiday!
Samsung Mythic ($200, samsung.com)
A month ago, this blurb would have read as follows: Want to watch Tiger Woods dominate the course on your phone? Sadly, there's no app for that. But the Samsung Mythic, one of a steady stream of touch-screen also-rans, has something the iPhone doesn't: AT&T Mobile TV, a service that uses UHF signals to broadcast actual television (NBC, CNN, Fox, ESPN, and more) straight to phones, so there's none of the YouTube buffering when you're watching all these blond ladyfriends chat with Meredith Vieira. Or just indulging in the now uninterrupted supply of schadenfreude, preferably via Comedy Central.
Fusion Chrome Collection Power Shave Kit ($150, theartofshaving.com)
Somehow, Gillette managed to turn another easily lampooned shaving experience Six blades! And they buzz! into a smart, even classy grooming solution. The upgraded Fusion has the same old vibrating five-blade head (plus a single blade for touch-ups), but it also features a tiny spotlight and a chrome-and-thermo-resin handle. The rest of this Art of Shaving-powered kit isn't newfangled at all, which is the point. What does this have to do with Tiger? Aside from some yanked ads, not much. Which is the point.
EA Sports
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for Nintendo Wii ($50, easports.com)
The best golf game ever made, and it's even better with the included Wii Motion Plus dongle, which increases the motion-sensitivity of the Wii's controller. In the tradition of past Woods-branded games, this is a serious, non-goofy golf game unless you start using "pass the dongle" as a euphemism. Can't live without that signature Wii boyishness? There's Disc Golf on all twenty-seven courses. And if you happen to be a boyish, philandering billionaire with a distinctive first name, this might be the only golfing you'll be doing for the "indefinite" future.
Nike Golf
SQ DYMO2 STR8-FIT Shaft Adapter ($450, nike.com)
This club is not I repeat, not a worthwhile gift because you can joke about the intersection of fame, wealth, and an apparent sex addiction. But here goes: For the golfer who can't seem to make up his mind, and isn't terribly finicky about good looks, the SQ DYMO2 STR8-FIT driver incorporates a special shaft, which can be adjusted on the fly to accommodate up to eight different head positions. The goal, as always, is to improve your swinging style, or offset any kinks in your technique. Also, it comes with its own torque wrench.
TAG Heuer
Aquaracer 500M Calibre 5 ($2,450, tagheuer.com)
Before Tiger's face collided with a static tree and possibly a golf club, it appeared on TAG Heuer posters reading "What Are You Made of?" But he helped create a couple golf watches. These are swell timepieces for dedicated Tiger fans despite silly things on the face ("Link," get it?). But the rest of us look to TAG for timelessness, and classic styles like this stainless steel Aquaracer. It isn't designed to stay snug on the wrist during swings, but it also wasn't featured on posters that are being torn down in jewelry stores the world over.
Upper Deck
Arnold Palmer Autographed 1960 U.S. Open Championship Photo ($595, store.upperdeck.com)
Forget the hand-painted portraits of someone who might be Woods, the action figures of a nondescript black guy that Upper Deck swears is Woods, or the almost poignant, mostly tragic framed photo of Woods slashing his way out of a sand trap. For a reminder of why some golfers become gods, there's this autographed shot of Palmer's final-round shot. The King had been down by seven strokes, making it the biggest comeback in U.S. Open history. There has to some kind of message in there, right?
Case of Gatorade Tiger Quiet Storm ($29.88, buythecase.net)
PepsiCo claims that the recent decision to stop production of its Tiger-themed Gatorade drinks was due to slow sales. Believe the hype. Any sports drink with flavors like Pure Force and Quiet Storm is more than capable of failing on its own merits. This flavor had a grape bug juice sort of note to it, and a bold lack of irony or self-awareness. Like the other Tiger varieties, QS has 25 percent more electrolytes than standard Gatorade, and a dose of theanine, which is normally found in tea, and increases your ability to focus. On what, exactly, is up to you.

This looks great. It's just want I need :D
Free plans to build a hall tree. Simple step by step plans include 10 diagrams, detailed cut list and shopping list, and photos.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
1 - 1x10 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x10 @ 6 feet long
1 - 1x12 @ 4 feet long
1 - 1x6 @ 4 feet long
1 - 1x2 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x3 @ 8 feet long
1 - sheet 1/4" plywood or beadboard
1 - stick 6 feet small crown moulding
Use either 2" screws or 1 1/4" pocket hole screws to build
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
2 - 1x10 @ 53" (Sides)
1 - 1x10 @ 32 1/2" (Shelf)
1 - 1x10 @ 13" (Divider)
2 - 1x2 @ 32 1/2" (Front Trim)
2 - 1x3 @ 32 1/2" (Back Trim)
1 - 1x6 @ 32 1/2" (Base)
1 - 1x12 @ 38" (Top)
1 - beadboard or 1/4" plywood @ 34" x 53" (Back)
Notch out hutch sides as desired.
Next, add the shelf.
Notch out the tops of divider to fit a 1x2 on front and 1x3 on back. Use a jigsaw to make square cuts. Attach divider to shelf.
Next, add the front and back trim, making sure the divider is centered on the 1x2 and 1x3.
Add the bottom trim.
And the back trim.
Also, not pictured, add the base trim flush to bottom back of hutch
with 3/4" pocket holes and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws on back side, or 2" countersunk screws and wood glue.
Next, add the top. Notice the 2" overhang on sides and front.
Attach beadboard or plywood to back.
Apply moulding as desired, mitering corners to fit.
Finally, secure to bench and wall to prevent forward tipping.
This looks great. It's just want I need :D

Hi Ana! I love your site and all of your projects! I recently completed the Farm House King Head/Foot board and absolutely LOVE IT! Working on one for my son's room now as well.
I am trying to find plans for something very similar to this hall tree, although I would like it to slide into a corner. Have you done anything similar or do you have any recommendations for altering the above plans to make a corner hall tree? I am thinking about using the Corner Unit for the twin storage bed and add the top piece to it - what are your thoughts on that? Thanks in advance!
Pictures can be deceiving. :) It looks so tall! But actually I'm taller (6'1")
BTP (By the Plan) the piece will only come out to be just a 1/4" over 6 foot high from bottom of base to top of hutch.
So I'm adding a foot to its height (6" to the bench, 6" to the hutch) to push it up a bit and make it feel less like a dwarf on a standard 8' ceiling.
Such a gorgeous design and beadboard all the way!
Melodie replied on Permalink
I made this and the accompanying bench this weekend. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Assembly is a snap!
I agree that the piece is deceptively short. I added 13 1/4" to the height of the sides and created 2 shelves instead of one. Now it looks much more substantial on my entry wall.
My hubby loves it...no more mess in our entryway.

By using the SuitSuit Washing Machine Suitcase, you can make travel even more fun by adding humor and fun into your worldly excursions.
Imagine the astounded looks you will get as you wait in line at the airport with this funky styled luggage. It looks exactly like a washing machine with all the buttons and settings printed onto a shiny white surface. There is a circular "window" that shows colorful clothing swirling around as though a load of laundry is in the middle of a spin cycle. You put all your clothes inside your suitcase anyways, wouldn't it be amazing if they could be cleaned at the same time?
While the SuitSuit Washing Machine Suitcase doesn't actually wash your clothes, it's fun to imagine that it could.

This receiver is very good for the price. i am impressed with the sound quality and the the convenient options like bluetooth and the usb. i have this hooked up in a toyota corolla, it fit as though it was stock. i owned an older pioneer reciver that had more options but at the same time for the price it is worth it. its pretty especially at night and it will make your system blast as i said before it lacks only in tweeking capabilty.

Review by
Widgit from Dallas, Texas
This is a great 2-Din CD receiver with the looks that are not overstated and not as cluttered as many 2-Din receivers with buttons. The screen is bright and quick to respond. The only downside to this product is that Pioneer put in a pico fuse for the RCAs in the back. Once that fuse is blown the radio whines through the speakers and the receiver must be repaired by a specialist.

Review by
A Guy from Gray, TN
I'm very happy with the radio. It has lots of options and its relatively easy to use. There are so many settings, that you can make most any source sound good. Bluetooth worked fine with my phones.
If you like options and don't mind learning a little, I think you will like the radio. If you are a "keep it simple" kind a person, I would stay away. Installation was very tough on my car. The radio fit the hole, but the connections are all at the bottom of the unit which interfered with some supports. Here is my setup: 2001 Impala Metra GMOS-04 - converter necessary for GM Car PAC SWI-PSv1 - Steering wheel controls iPod Classic XM SkiFi3 radio used through Aux port Alpine MRP-F300 amp Kenwood KFC-X1710 front speakers Kenwood KFC-X692 rear speakers Bluetooth with Sprint Mogul phone & Motorolla RAZR phone

Review by
Joseph from Omaha, NE
I purchased this head unit 6 months ago and have enjoyed it since. I personally installed it in my "07 WRX and it fit very nicely in the Double-DIN slot without adapters.
I produces clear strong sound and I like the blue color of the display. I hooked up the included microphone and use the Blue tooth feature often, although it was a little tricky to get it to recognize my phone (LG ENV). The people I talk to all say they can hear me just fine, and it plays their voice through the car speakers. The USB connectivity is the best feature in my opinion because it was so easy to set up and it works great, although it takes a little while to search for the song you want if you have a big library on your MP3 player. The only bad thing I find with it is that the display isn't OEL. That would make the head unit perfect.

Review by
Trouble from Baton Rouge, LA.
This is a great Head Unit. It takes a little getting use to, but over-all I very satified. I put this in my 2008 Chevy Silverado. The dash kit & the antanna adapter that came with it all a perfect fit for my truck. I was trying to keep my truck as close to the stock look as possible and I don't think you can get closer than this with any other after market "high end" Head Unit.
Pros: Great Sound, fits perfect, Just about any feature you can think of, Remote Control, Total control of your ipod thru the Head Unit. Cons: Interface takes a little getting use to. no aux input. Face plate scratches very easily and picks up finger prints very very easily. Once you learn the interface, you'll love this Head Unit.

The debate team at Forest Hills High School recently emerged from a competition last month as the best squad in New York State.
Now the 35 seniors are turning to the community in an effort to raise $22,000 they will need in order to go to Washington, DC, in April for the national championships.
"Our dilemma is that to send 35 to 40 people to Washington, including transportation and a hotel for five days would cost about $40,000," said Principal Saul Gootnick. "We have about $18,000, and we can't sell $22,000 worth of candy. We're reaching out to the community, alumni, businesses, elected officials, everyone we can."
The team, under the direction of teacher Tara Kelly, consists of students from the Advanced Placement government class.
It captured the state championship debating constitutional issues, including federalism, or how the federal and state governments share power, how the laws were interpreted through the nation's history, and how the issues apply in contemporary times.
"Finishing first in all of New York state is really cool in a state of about 19 million people," Gootnick said. "Especially when you consider we are a large, community school. We don't screen students. You don't have to take a test to apply like some other high schools in the city. We don't turn anyone away.
"And this is a state championship at the highest academic level," he said.
Gootnick said in the past that elected officials such as Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi (D-Forest Hills) have been generous in their support of such programs, though Gov. Cuomo has kept a tight clamp on such discretionary legislative allocations in recent years.
The city's Department of Education did not respond to requests for comment on the possible availability of funding.
Their deadline is March 15. Those wishing to donate may send contributions to the school at 67-01 110th St., Forest Hills, NY 11375, or call (718) 268-3137.

We were home. Wishing we were back there. We'd just been the first week of May (least we got to see Julie Andrews!)...Sure looks like it was a great day.
I wasn't with micechat yet.
I wasn't with miceChat at that time, but if it wasn't for you wonderful guys, i wouldn't have been prepared for that day. We stayed at the GCH, the view was of DTD/La Brea/Soarin (really great fireworks view BTW) and at around two in the morning, i could hear DCA being filled up, i sprang up and woke the Mrs (she still hasn't forgiven me) and we got our black and white checkered whristband. But all the spoilers you guys posted in the days before were 99.9% true. to that I thank you guys.
I was sitting in Seattle wishing I was at DL like I was on May 05, 2005!!!!!!!!

Siemens AG Management Discusses Q3 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Our order intake decreased substantially by 27% from an extraordinary high level of last year, where we booked a much higher volume of large orders in Energy and Transportation & Logistics, including the, if you remember, the EUR 3.7 billion ICx order in Germany. Therefore, our book-to-bill decreased to 0.91, but we expect to see a rebound to above 1 in the fourth quarter. Our backlog remains at EUR 100 billion, supported by translation effects of the weakening euro.
We achieved moderate revenue growth of 3%, driven by continued backlog conversion in Energy and impressive competitive strength in our Healthcare sector. Profitability clearly exceeded the prior year level, which was substantially burdened by the Areva arbitration decision and the particle therapy reevaluation. Fossil and DX delivered strong earnings, however, profitability was impacted by higher OpEx in all sectors and significantly lower contribution from the industrial sector.
As for OSRAM, we stick to our original plans to deconsolidate the asset but changed our primary plans. Since market conditions continue to be highly volatile for an IPO, we decided to pursue a spin-off to our shareholders as the most probable part of divestiture. This option requires shareholder approval at the next AGM in January 2013, and Siemens still intends to remain an anchor shareholder in OSRAM. Though our strategic intent remains the same from an accounting perspective, this results in a significantly negative noncash P&L effect in discontinued operations through a so-called cumulative catch-up of depreciation and amortization related to OSRAM.
For the record, here is the overview of these key figures for the third quarter. These challenges are reflected in our regional split of orders and sales in the third quarter, the lack of large orders, particularly in Energy and the Rail business, compared to a strong prior year weighted on growth rates in Europe and also the U.S. The major driver behind the 28% order decline in the U.S. was the expected expiration of the U.S. tax benefit scheme on renewables, which led already to a sharp decline in new wind orders.

Tops lowered to worship the summer sun, we stomp on gas pedals and shoot down the rural roads outside of Ann Arbor. The SLK and Z4, despite weighing some 3400- and 3500-pounds respectively, reward our indulgence with effortless acceleration and exhaust notes raspy enough to dispel any remaining notions that these are mere poseurs. We're impressed by the smoothness and flexibility of the SLK's big V-6, which responds enthusiastically regardless of the tachometer needle's position. That said, this is still BMW's dominion. Its inline-six reacts instantly to commands of the throttle and at full howl drowns out the Mercedes.
Both cars might be described as having seven-speed automatics, but the BMW unit has the key modifier, "dual-clutch." As a result, the SLK simply can't match the ferociousness of the Z4's upshifts nor the immediacy of its downshifts, especially when we apply multiple taps to the steering-wheel-mounted paddle. We suspect this quick shifting, as much as the 33-hp advantage, explains why the Z4 is about a half second faster to 60 mph, according to factory estimates. Still, we're more annoyed with the Mercedes' software than the hardware. Regardless of whether it's in economy or sport mode, the gearbox proves too eager to upshift and isn't nearly proactive enough in downshifting under hard braking. There is a manual mode, but even that won't keep it from upshifting if you happen to hit the rev limiter - not what we want during cornering.
The Z4's gearbox does not entirely escape criticism. We still think BMW's insistence that each paddle should be able to call up either upshifts or downshifts (tap forward for upshift, pull back for upshift) is confusing. And for all its sporting credentials, the Z4, like the SLK, often refuses to hold a gear at redline, even with the transmission in manual mode and all the adjustable electronic settings dialed up to eleven.
Heavy steering is not always good steering
The SLK and Z4 are both fantastic handlers in the modern idiom, which is to say they rely on high levels of grip, excellent body control, and some high-tech wizardry. The sDrive35is has adaptive dampers with the usual sport and comfort settings (the SLK350 can be equipped similarly, but only as a special order option that was not on our test vehicle). In the real world, at least, it's tough to discern a substantial difference in body control, especially since the Z4 is so stiffly sprung to begin with.

Category: Chemistry—Chemical Changes
Project Idea by: Saba Javadi and Kate Foley
A chemical is any substance with a definite composition made up of one or more elements (substances that contain only one kind of atom). Compounds are chemicals made up of two or more different elements. Examples of elements include the metal copper (Cu) and the gas oxygen (O), which is found in air. An example of a compound is a chemical made up of copper and oxygen: called copper oxide (CuO).
The formation of copper oxide involves a chemical change, which is the change of one or more substances to something new.
Another name for a chemical change is a chemical reaction. Chemicals that are changed during chemical reactions are called reactants, and chemicals produced in chemical reactions are called products. If a chemical reaction involves the combination of oxygen with another element, the reaction is called oxidation and the product is called an oxide. In the formation of copper oxide, copper and oxygen are the reactants and copper oxide is the product.
The atoms on the surface of metals often combine with oxygen atoms from the air to form metal oxides. Copper surfaces, such as those on some cooking pots and coins, are often coated with different kinds of copper oxides. Any coating on a metal that discolors and/or dulls on the surface is called a tarnish. The copper oxides on coins or other copper surfaces are considered a tarnish.
Tarnish is the result of a chemical change, and it can be removed by a chemical change such as occurs with an acid. An acid is a sour-tasting chemical that forms salt and water when mixed with a base (a bitter-tasting chemical, including metal oxides). Copper oxide can be chemically removed from a copper surface by soaking it in an acid such as vinegar or lemon juice. The special scale for measuring the strength of an acid or base is called the pH scale. The values on the pH scale range from 0 to 14. Water is neutral (neither an acid nor a base) and has a pH value of 7. Acids have a pH of less than 7, and bases have a pH greater than 7. The less the pH, the more concentrated the acid. The greater the pH, the more concentrated the base. A project question might be, "What effect does the pH of food have on preventing tarnish on copper pots?"
Clues for Your Investigation
Design a way to test the effect of acidic foods on the removal of tarnish from copper. One way is to use tarnished pennies and foods with different pH values. You do not have to know the exact value of the testing solution, just that the pH is different. For example, some vinegar has a pH of about 2.8 and distilled water is always 7. So vinegar and water can be mixed in different concentrations to produce solutions of different pH values. Tarnished pennies can be placed in the different acid solutions for a predetermined amount of time. Determine which solution cleans the coins faster. CAUTION: Even though vinegar is a food, it is an acid, so try not to get it on your skin. If you do get some on your skin, rinse it off thoroughly with water. While you perform the experiment, wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Independent Variable: pH of acid solution
Dependent Variable: Removal of tarnish from copper
Controlled Variables: Degree of tarnish on coins, number of coins for each test, temperature of solutions, time in testing solutions
Control: Water

I bought a large potted Deja Blu today at Lowe's. I thought Deja Blu was a mini flora, but the bush looks like a floribunda - great big stems - and the blooms also look like the size of a floribunda. This doesnt look like any miniflora I have ever seen - or was it a miniflora on steroids?? The color looks the same as on Helpmefind - the roses were blooming. I am a bit confused - has anyone else seen this rose at Lowes? Is it possible for a miniflora to get as big as a floribunda? Its a beautiful, healthy rose - lovely color - am excited to find it. The tag said "My Bouquet" - Deja Blu.

Follow-Up Postings:
At Lowes? Wow! Yes. many minifloras are as large as floribundas. The hybridizer, Frank Benardella, liked his minifloras to be on the large side. You should see Leading Lady, it makes some of my hybrid teas look puny! Enjoy, Deja Blu is a beautiful rose. |
- Posted by mike_in_new_orleans 9a/ coastal LA (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 2:10
I've had Deja Blu just one year. My plant is still quite small, but the stems, leaves, and blooms are about comparable to floribudnas. Not too many clusters, though; more hybrid-tea-style. That's why it still makes sense to call it miniflora. And as mentioned, Leading Lady looks even bigger. There really are no concrete rules about rose classes. The hybridizers get to call them what they like. So voila! Deja Blu and Leading Lady are both minifloras. : ) |
- Posted by kstrong 10 So Cal (email@example.com) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 18:09
Yep, our Lowe's had Benardella mini-floras also, in peat pots, and they looked VERY healthy. Our Lowe's carried Powerhouse and Double Take. I've grown Deja Blu for several years and I really like it. Won some trophies at rose shows with it also. |
Dang, I'm moving! ;-)) No way we're seeing any of those out here. |
So glad to hear the good news on this rose! It has lots of fat buds, ready to open. I have never seen a miniflora this big - love the color. I will keep checking with Lowes - maybe they will get in more in different colors! Judith |
I've been seeing Deja Blu at the rose shows for a couple of years now and really liked it. This year I finally gave in and have one coming from Heirloom. I seriously doubt our Lowes will have anything other then their usual Knock Outs, but now that I'm alerted to the possiblilty of nice minis I'll be on the look out......Maryl |
I think I need to hustle out to Lowe's. |
- Posted by particentral 8 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 1, 11 at 9:47
My Lowes had Heirloom, New Day and Chrysler Imperial. that was it. Not even any knockouts. |
No minifloras in peat pots in the two Lowes' stores nearest to us (both in Ocala) either. I took the item number and they looked it up for me in the garden center -- nothing came up. So I'm just going to have to be patient and wait for my Rosemania order (nine minifloras, two of them on fortuniana) and my two orders from K&M (1 floribunda, 2 minifloras, 5 HTs, all on fortuniana). It will be interesting to see how big minifloras get on fortuniana rootstock -- I've always grown them in pots. I miss my two bushes of Leading Lady (sold out from K&M and CoolRoses). |
I have a Deja Blu which I bought at Rona (Canadian version of Loew's). It looks to me like a floribunda. Tons of huge blooms. So gorgeous. The blooms are so fragrant and the most interesting shade of corally pink. Got it on sale. So happy with it!!! |
My Lowes had a grouping of these last fall. I was hesitant as I had never seen them before, but the few blooms on Flawless really captured me and I picked her up. This is Flawless with her first blooms this spring. I LOVE her, and may grab some more if I find them again. Flawless doesn't have fragrance, but otherwise - she is flawless. |
I picked my Flawless up at Lowes 3 years ago. It does produce very nice blooms. I discovered that the fullness of the bush when I first purchased it was due to the fact that they had put 4 bushes in the same pot. Separated out the "bushiness" was greatly reduced, and to this day it is not a particularly leafy bush. However the flowers keep coming, and are such a pretty shade of pink that it's growth pattern has so far been ignored. It has also proven to have better then average disease resistance. Short, large flowered roses are perfect for some landscaping situations (containers too) and usually hard to find. FLawless is a good example of one....Maryl |

I just ran across this thread. I just returned home, from Lowe's, with Deja blu. I am really curious as to how yours did. I also saw flawless but left it behind since I wasn't planning on grabbing the 2 I did. :) I hope your Deja Blu has been thriving since! |

You can find seed potatos at your local farmers CO-OP. You can buy them by the bag or by the LB. PAT L |
Have any of you tried growing "no-dig" potatoes? I found the idea and instructions at the Garden Supply website - filled a wired bin w/ good soil and see potatoes. Got great plants and was so excited! But when the plants died down and I removed the wire - no potatoes. Any idea what I did wrong to get plants but no produce? |

tly59 you cannot use grocery store bought potatos.If you did thats whats wrong,because they are sprayed to keep from sprouting. Try seed potatos. B BELL. |
If they sprouted and grew then it could have been too much nitrogen, that makes for lots of foliage and few roots. I suspect if there were NO potatoes, either you harvested too soon, the tops were attacked by fungus and died pre-maturely, or mice or chipmunks made off with your spuds. |

Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone
Re:ads (183 comments)
While I'd agree that dealing with ads is annoying, I think there may be another way to look at it. Companies will always seek a way to reach their customers. This can take many different forms, but they all fall under the guise of "advertisement". And make no mistake, they will make every effort to reach you. If it's not on your TV, it will be via email. If not via email, it will be on your phone. If it's not on your phone, it will be... You get the point.
So, it would seem that short of living in the woods we'll have to deal with ads in one form or another. Granted, some are less intrusive than others, but they will always be around and will always be looking for new ways to "intrude" into our consciousness. We might as well get something free for dealing with them. Right?...

BROOKVILLE ŌĆö During a Jefferson County Jail Inspection-Intermediate Punishment Board meeting Monday, county Commission Chairman Paul Corbin congratulated the jail staff and Warden Tom Elbel on the results of the jailŌĆÖs bi-annual inspection.
For the third consecutive time, the Jefferson County jail scored 100 percent on its inspection, which took place June 6.
The State Depart-ment of Corr-ections performs the inspection.
To achieve the perfect rating, the jail had to spend some money on routine maintenance items, such as painting.
Although the department inspects for cleanliness and graffiti, its main concern involves a review of the prisonŌĆÖs policies, which covers about 80 percent of the inspection.
The department interviews three or four officers and three or four inmates to see how things are going, Elbel said.
ŌĆ£They want to make sure that weŌĆÖre really doing what we say weŌĆÖre doing and not just having policies that we never follow, and that all of the policies meet Title 37,ŌĆØ he said.
Elbel said that if a jail receives a 100 percent on its inspection, it does not need to be inspected for another two years; the jailŌĆÖs last inspection was in May 2009.
But the jail didnŌĆÖt always fare so well with the departmentŌĆÖs inspection.
According to District Attorney Jeff Burkett, the jail could never reach 100 percent before the jailŌĆÖs facilities were expanded.
ŌĆ£We were running in the 50s and 60s back then,ŌĆØ Elbel said. ŌĆ£Overcrowding was our biggest issue back then.ŌĆØ
Renovations began on the jail in 2005 and were finished in 2006. Originally, the jail could house only 58 inmates; after the renovation, housing almost tripled to 155.
ŌĆ£The jail had to be expanded because our inmate population had grown too large for the previous facility,ŌĆØ Burkett said. ŌĆ£We were spending many thousands of dollars every month to have other counties house our excess inmates.ŌĆØ
In other business:
ŌĆó Elbel also reported that the county is not holding out-of-county inmates at the present time. Jefferson County had rented the unused cell space to McKean County when that county sustained an inmate overpopulation; however, McKean County now does not have any surplus prisoners.
ŌĆó The jailŌĆÖs expense totals amount to $2,581,148 for 2011; last yearŌĆÖs totals amounted to $2,483,927.28.
ŌĆó The jailŌĆÖs revenue totals amount to $151,500 for 2011; last yearŌĆÖs totals amounted to $205,637.62.
The jail population report for May:
ŌĆó Total Jefferson County ŌĆö 112 inmates (87 male, 25 female).
ŌĆó Total housed out-of-county ŌĆö 10 inmates (eight male, two female).
ŌĆó Total population ŌĆö 122 inmates.
The cost for housing out-of-county inmates is $55 per day.
ŌĆó The next Jail Board meeting will be held at noon Monday, July 25.

One of my long-standing interests is the location of ocean sediment series that enable apples-to-apples comparison of the 20th century to the mid-Holocene. These are not nearly as common as one would think. Ocean sediment series covering the Holocene typically stop prior to the 20th century due to core recovery problems and, on the other hand, high-resolution series (especially from box cores) that provide detailed 20th century information are not necessarily accompanied by corresponding Holocene information (even on "intermediate" resolution.)
Last week, Sicre and coauthors archived two very high resolution alkenone series from Placentia Bay and Bonavista Bay, offshore Newfoundland (5 and 9 years respectively), covering the last two millennium, with their most recent portion dated through the 20th century. While the proximity is not ideal, the cores do appear to be close enough to three Holocene alkenone SST series from Sachs et al 2007 to compare 20th century and mid-Holocene SSTs on the North American East Coast, an exercise that I will carry out in today's post. The exercise has some added interest because the three Sachs 2007 series were used in Marcott et al 2013 (though their recent portions were foolishly re-dated by Marcott.) As high resolution ocean SST data over the past two millennia, the new Sicre data is also relevant to the popular two-millennium reconstruction period, but the new data is about as opposite to a Hockey Stick as one can imagine. Unsurprisingly, the new data was not press released and has thus far attracted no attention. Continue reading
