The inspiration: a black and white glam office designed by Mary McDonald on Million Dollar Decorators.
A gallery wall was created behind the desk. Most of the prints used were black and white photos with black frames. An iconic glam photo was used as the centerpiece.
On the show, McDonald seemed to be having some issues getting her photo framed. This image from All Posters.com is the same classic image by John French she used. All Posters will ship it framed in 2-3 days.
A pair of these modern lamps in black would look perfect on the desk.
McDonald used a vintage white lacquer desk that cost thousands of dollars. I found this stylish stand-in at Room To Go Kids! It has adult-size proportions, and the sophisticated campaign desk style and white lacquer-like high-gloss finish makes it a perfect and affordable choice.
You can purchase it without the hutch on top, which I prefer, and it is $100 less, coming in at a glam $399.
Fabric.com is a site you should know about. It has thousands of designer-style fabrics. Choose from one of many of their faux black leathers to cover the desk top, as McDonald did. Use a yard-and-a-half of fabric with a thin layer of batting underneath. Use square upholstery tacks to finish the look.
Faux black leather fabric from Fabric.com starts at $6.98 a yard.
Nickel-plated square upholstery tacks will play back to the hardware on the desk — the perfect finishing touch for the DIY black leather desktop.
McDonald used two velvet armchairs facing the desk. To get a similar look, shop your local flea markets, Craigslist, eBay, and antique stores for a French-frame chair you like.
You can paint the frame any color you like, including white, like Mary's chair's. You will have to invest in reupholstery services, unless you are handy in that department.
All rooms on a budget have high- and low-priced items. Choosing one or two vintage pieces contribute to the collected look of a room.
McDonald used red as an accent color. Choose any color you love, since the black and white color scheme acts as a neutral.
She used red bolsters like this one on the armchairs facing the desk.
McDonald designed this $8,000 hand-painted chevron pattern floor. LOVE it, but not the price.
McDonald is famous for her hand-painted floors. She often chooses oversize graphic designs. The floor she created for the office on Million Dollar Decorators was a gorgeous chevron pattern in black and tan.
This well-priced 8' x 10' rug has a chevron pattern that would work for the look we are going for. Remember we are not trying to do an exact replica of the room — just the same feeling.
This black French-style armchair is done in patent leather. I found one for our Mary McDonald–inspired project that is similarly upholstered.
This French Louis-style chair from Zentique is perfect for the desk chair.
An accent pillow made from black and white ticking was placed on the desk chair.
McDonald used black and white striped drapes for this office project. These good-looking and high-quality off-the-rack faux silk panels start at $79 per panel.
Tip: If you don't want the pole-pocket look, use rings with clips or sew on pleat tape (see next photo).
Do you have a flat panel that you want to hang with style? This product is like magic! Sew on Tempo Pleat Tape and create a soft shape to your drapery heading. The tempo tape will force your drape into soft S-shaped folds. Wonderful!
Get these drapery hooks to use with the pleat tape. The price is for a bag of 25.
This cool black and white shower curtain looks just like the drapes McDonald used. If you are really on a budget, use a pair of them as curtains!
Every office — even a glam one — needs some practical storage. This good-looking file cabinet from West Elm is perfect.
Let's add some more glam accessories to the desktop. I love these pen, pencil and paperclip cups!
Designer Mary McDonald also has a great book out, and you can get more great ideas from it.

good news, artists of all stripes -- here's something to consider when you feel blocked and how to handle it instead of posting journals, forum threads and meta-art about your blockage. You're not alone, you're not doomed, but you have to realize that in order to get over the blockage, you have to DO SOMETHING instead of complaining and whining.
we all go through this. this graphic was designed to help you understand so you can fix your problem and get on with your work. don't look for sympathy, look for answers. look at what's going on in your life to cause your block. if you simply can't "think of something", then the problem is you're too impatient. slow your roll and allow time to exist when creating your art. this isn't a race and if you're not being paid to make something, to be in a hurry for any reason is absurd. nothing good comes easy.
if you want to do something well, you need to give it time to develop.
if you want to do something super-dupe fast for what, the sake of saying "FIRST!" -- grow up.
no one is impressed that you finished first (amirite, fellas).
the worst thing an artist can do is stare at the blank canvas/paper/whatever and think that sheer will help them make something that others want to look at. that just makes it worse. how many times have we seen "i dunno, i made this in like five minutes" in the artist comments. yeah, we can tell you made it in five minutes, it looks like no thought was put into it at all. and search the galleries here for "the blank canvas/page mocks me" art. it's as pervasive as crimson river art, and i use the word "art" by default.
go be stimulated by something else for a while to fill the well.
don't make it worse by forcing yourself to work on your hobby.

Commodity Market Increased In February Due To Positive Fundamentals
NEW YORK, March 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Commodities increased in February as supply and demand fundamentals supported returns.
Nelson Louie, Global Head of Commodities in Credit Suisse's Asset Management business, said, "As of the end of the month, the path for Ukraine was unclear. Russia's show of force across the Crimean Peninsula stoked supply-risk worries across oil markets as Russia is the world's third largest oil producer and its second largest exporter. It is possible that any further heightening of tension could affect relations with Russia and, in turn, the oil supply and demand in Europe, as well as the outcome of negotiations surrounding the war in Syria, and sanctions on Iran. Ukraine is also a large wheat exporter and could tighten the wheat supply/demand balance should the conflict escalate."
Christopher Burton, Senior Portfolio Manager for the Credit Suisse Total Commodity Return Strategy, added, "February continued the 2014 theme of commodities being driven by fundamental factors, largely uncorrelated with other asset classes. This included severe weather affecting Agriculture, a virus affecting Lean Hog supplies, and multiple sectors affected by tensions in Ukraine. We believe correlations between commodities and traditional asset classes will continue to remain low. We anticipate individual commodities will continue to be increasingly driven by commodity-specific factors, and we continue to expect commodities to provide valuable portfolio diversification benefits going forward." The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return increased 6.24% in February. Overall, 20 out of 22 index constituents posted positive returns. Agriculture was the best performing sector, up 11.51%, with all sector components producing positive returns. In addition to a drought in Brazil potentially limiting Coffee, Soybean and Sugar supplies, Wheat and Corn also ended the month higher. The US Department of Agriculture reported increased wheat export demand out of the US compared to the same period in 2013 while it simultaneously reduced its estimate for 2014 inventory levels by approximately 8%. Cold weather in the US has damaged some crops in the Southeast and Midwest and recent extreme weather patterns may elevate supply risk during the summer as well. Precious Metals gained 7.70% as uncertainty in emerging markets, including heightened tensions in Ukraine, enhanced the appeal of Silver and Gold as stores of value. Livestock increased, up 6.86%, led by Lean Hogs. Live Cattle was also higher due to thinning supplies. Energy also increased, up 2.60%. Crude oil and petroleum products were higher after disappointing US economic data early in the month led to speculation that the Fed may be forced to slow down its tapering. Heightened tensions in Ukraine also added some risk premium to the sector. Industrial Metals ended the month higher, up 1.97%, led by Zinc as a global production deficit is expected to widen in 2014, limiting supplies. About the Credit Suisse Total Commodity Return Strategy Credit Suisse's Total Commodity Return Strategy has been managed for over 19 years and seeks to outperform the return of a commodities index, such as the Dow Jones–UBS Commodity Index Total Return or the S&P GSCI Total Return Index, using both a quantitative and qualitative commodity research process. Commodity index total returns are achieved through:- Spot Return: price return on specified commodity futures contracts;
- Roll Yield: impact due to migration of futures positions from near to far contracts; and
- Collateral Yield: return earned on collateral for the futures.

In gritty Karachi, husband-wife team saves unwanted babies
Abdul Sattar Edhi and Bilquis Edhi are revered for their work over the last half-century, pulling abandoned babies from the dumps and drains of this Pakistani city.
Jodi Hilton
Tiny, pink, and asleep in the arms of an orphanage worker, Amna didn't know she had survived being abandoned two days earlier in one of the world's grittiest cities.
Nurses had found her crying alone outside a local hospital – one of hundreds of babies abandoned in Pakistan each year. But helped by the Edhi Foundation, a nonprofit humanitarian organization based in Karachi, Amna soon would be adopted by a local couple who had been unable to have children.
The heads of the foundation, the husband and wife team of Abdul Sattar Edhi and Bilquis Edhi, have achieved a revered status for their work pulling abandoned babies from the dumps and drains of Karachi and receiving them from mothers with no questions asked.
In more than a half-century of work, they have rescued tens of thousands of babies and – despite prejudice against such children – placed an estimated 16,700 in adoptive homes.
"It's an amazing thing, because here in a society where there is no place for an illegitimate child they are providing a place for them," says Meera Jamal, a reporter for the newspaper Dawn. "People do hold [Mr. Edhi] in high respect.... He is viewed as the Mother Teresa of Karachi." [Editor's note: The original version misspelled Meera Jamal's name.]
The foundation has encountered resistance from religious leaders and other members of the local community, the Edhis say, because it takes in abandoned babies regardless of ethnicity or religion. The foundation makes an effort to match babies with people who are of the religion of their parents, if it is known – a highly sensitive issue among the country's religious leaders.

text: Gadgets to help you survive a power outageBy Doug Gross, CNNUpdated 3:53 PM ET, Mon July 2, 2012Workers remove parts of a fallen tree from a telephone line in Maryland on Sunday.Story highlightsPower outage puts spotlight on our gadget dependencyItems to consider include a hand-crank radio, which works without electricityMultiple battery-powered products can power your phone, tabletSolar charging is also available with some productsOur electronic gadgets make life easier in a lot of ways.But when power sources falter, as they did for nearly 2 million people in the Eastern United States this weekend after massive storms hit, digital communication tools can become useless at a crucial time.Whether the problem is losing the ability to talk and text on a cellphone or suddenly being without news sources when the juice in a tablet or laptop fizzles out, our increasingly digital lives mean dealing with darkness and rough weather aren't our only concerns when the power's out.Nothing is going to make an extended power outage easy. But here are a few items to consider should you find yourself powered down by Mother Nature.1. Hand-crank radioListening to the radio for the news might seem decidedly old-school for the Twitter-and-tablet obsessed news junkie of the digital age. But when all else fails, the tried-and-true radio waves can be a valuable way to keep up with local weather and other news in the event of an outage, especially when you can power it up when all your other electronics fail.There are several radios out there that let you juice up the battery with a hand crank. For example, the Grundig FR200 advertises access to AM, FM and two shortwave channels, a design makers say makes it weatherproof, and an LED emergency light. 2. Battery chargerWhen communication is vital, one more phone call or text message could be critical. So, whether it's just recharging long enough to do that, or hoping to literally weather the storm for longer, a backup charger can keep you plugged in (figuratively, if not literally)."Juice packs" can be bought for $100 or less (Mophie, for one, makes them for Apple and Android devices) and many of the chargers double as protective cases for your smartphone or tablet. Alternately, battery-powered backup chargers like the Zagg Sparq can provide several full charges for your mobile devices after the usual electrical options are gone.You can even find chargers that use solar power; so as long as you've got a dry spot and at least a brief break from the rain, Mother Nature can help bail you out.3. Light sourceOf course, you should have flashlights and fresh batteries around.But finding them in the dark can be it's own challenge. And, sometimes, you just need a steady source of light, not one you have to tote around. There are battery powered lights on sale for less than $30 that you can keep plugged into an outlet. When the power goes out, they automatically come on, saving you those moments of fumbling.There also are slightly more exotic products, like the Striker Magnetic LED Light, which is about the size of a golf ball and designed to stick to surfaces.4. Power inverterIf you need to power up something a little bigger than a phone, a power inverter might be a useful tool. If you want to be able to use a laptop or desktop computer during an outage, this may be the way to go.The inverter can be used to convert DC power from your car battery into AC juice that can be used for things usually plugged in to a wall outlet.Places like Batteries Plus, as well as most computer stores, usually have these around in a wide range of power. Ask an employee how much of a charge you need for what you want to do.More from techTecnología sin límites No! Don't share this stuff online!NASA to send submarine into spacePowered by Livefyre

This dance is very easy to learn but it is one of my old favourites. It's also good because it fits to most pop songs too. There are lots of oportunities to add your own style too!

I guess when I think of a "hippie festival", I think more of this:
But that's neither here nor there. Lightning in a Bottle looks like a good time.
I guess when I think of a "hippie festival", I think more of this:
But that's neither here nor there. Lightning in a Bottle looks like a good time.
^^^we are talking modern day hippie festivals mah man.
that was a good laugh though, thx.
Just got my 2 day ticket, see you all in 12 days!
From David Starfire's newsletter:
sounds interesting enough to check out....called the Dub Kirtan All Stars. It's a 15 person live band that mixes underground dance music with Kirtan, sacred chants from India that evoke spiritual enlightenment.
Ya that deff sounds cool, but it also seems like it can get really annoying really fast. Im imagining 15 Hari-Krishnas on stage.
i think david starfire's little project will be very interesting.. isnt freq nasty a part of it aswell??
im hoping for it to be really hippie
So have you all heard the Lee Burridge set from Burning Man 2010? Completely F-ING Ridiculous! It's available here:
If this doesn't get you pumped for NEXT WEEK then your probably better off staying at home.
Last edited by Casino Logic; 05-17-2011 at 03:42 PM.
wow that mix is great. the tune @ 45 min is so killer! soo excited, its raining here and just making me look forward to enjoying myself under the sun in about 9 days!
Glad you like it. The whole thing is solid, but I wanted to mentioned that I think parts 2 and 3 are on a higher level than part 1. Some of the best stuff I've heard.
Guy wasn't even on my list, but based on what I've heard here he is now at the top. I imagine he could be, or should be headlining this thing in the next few years.
more about it then....
huh? all he's pointing out is that a good chunk of the hippy scene is dominated by broken beat music.
Ya I understand that. I just think hippy music tends to suck ass. I fucking despise most jam bands, and (hippy) dub-step isnt much better in my book.
Luckily LiB is so fuckin dope that I could really give a shit about the music.
oh, you were trying to make a point....
im ready for some big time hippie beats provided by the likes of random rab and bonobo
el papachango too.
so ready to get my hippie on! i wouldn't even call this scene "hippie" but i guess you could say that.
its new age not hippie...
Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (the year of the troll)
a lot of nor-cal hippies will be at this event
Any of you not camping with us are welcome to come over to the camping spot for blunts, coffee, beer and omelets next Saturday morning.
So your making it to the festival then? Glad to hear it. I will need to eat meat at one point at this festival, that vegan granola shit the vendors sell doesnt do the trick for me. If your crew sets up some way to cook food Im way down to bring some shit.
Edit: Im so fucking excited for this. If anyone is volunteering tomorrow or sunday we may juss cross paths
My girl just scored free Sunday passes from KCRW. Sad to miss so much talent on Friday and Saturday... but hey, free tickets.
We'll be with camp Kampydome. 20ft dome (I think the cover will be white) and a few chill people. Drop in for a smoke or beer.
Everyone see the set times? Looks pretty solid to me. Sunday is a bit of a cluster... we all knew that. I wish they had spread that talent over the other days a little more, but they did a good job on the schedule, so I can see everyone I wanted to for at least an hour.
I couldn't find the times on the website... just in the email last night, so I'll post them here in case you didn't get the email.
Also... THEY NOW HAVE SHOWERS!!! $6 a shower, but come Sunday afternoon they should probably be charging closer to $60. You New Age hippie freaks!

"You need to know what characteristics of your patients might interfere with your ability to treat them well," Sloan said. Patients who are fasting during Ramadan, for example, might not be able to take four doses of a pill per day.
"The concern that I have is a number of physicians who go way beyond what's necessary and run the risk of manipulating their patients, even coercing them, invading their privacy, taking on spiritual matters as objects of intervention," he said. According to Sloan, appropriate inquiries are fine, but proselytizing has no place in the doctor's office

Martian Race is near-future SF, set in the twenty-teens (just before Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars saga kicks off), which may contribute to its being a bit of a slow starter; this is realistic, nuts-and-bolts speculation on a mission using pretty basic technology. But the pace picks up considerably as our heroes--the likable Julia and her Russky hubby Viktor and crew, backed by the Mars Consortium and its biotech billionaire CEO John Axelrod--begin to duke it out with a Euro-Sino concern to claim the $30 billion Mars Prize and, of course, get back from the Red Planet in one piece. Benford's work throughout is engaging and thorough, exploring every aspect of why we should make this trip at all (and even a few arguments against it, like Mars Bar marketing tie-ins). --Paul Hughes

So I only got my CCW a month or two ago. I go shooting every weekend and feel very comfortable with my firearm a PT 111 Pro. It has a manual safety.
What I cant seem to get comfortable with is having "one in the hole" while I carry. It's a huge responsibility and I not only dont want to be discovered Carrying, I really dont want an ND.
For those of you with more experience how did you get over this?
I just for the first time put the gun in the digital safe next to my bed locked, loaded, and safety on.
Did you carry to the range first?
Or just in your house?
Or plunge into carrying all the time immediately?
I am a newbie so be kind.

Josef Newgarden narrowly missed advancing to the second round of IZOD IndyCar Series qualifying for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg today and will embark on the first race of his sophomore season with Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing (SFHR) from the 16th starting position.
The 22-year-old's fastest lap of 1:02.1592 through the 1.8-mile, 14-turn scenic street course on the St. Petersburg harbor ranked him eighth in his qualifying group.
Newgarden will start next to Graham Rahal in the eighth row for Sunday's race.
"We had an okay qualifying session. It would have been great to advance," Newgarden said. "I think we lost a little bit of time from the practice session to qualifying. This is the first race of the season and we have a lot to learn. Hopefully we can learn a few more things in the warm-up session tomorrow morning that will help us in both the race and the other street courses we're going to later in the season."
Newgarden earned his season-best finish in 2012 at St. Petersburg as a rookie one year ago where he finished in the 11th position after qualifying 19th overall. Now in his second season with SFHR and the IZOD IndyCar Series, Newgarden is ready to capitalize on everything he learned as a rookie.
"It feels great to be back in the car with SFHR and kicking off the season at St. Pete," Newgarden said. "I love the atmosphere here because there are so many fans. I'm so excited to be here racing. I know my engineers are pumped up, and all the guys on the team are pumped up. It's just good to get the year started off."
Will Power was fastest of the day and earned the pole position and Verizon P1 Award for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg with a time of 1.01.2070, followed by Takuma Sato (1:01.5776) and Simona de Silvestro (1:01.7670).
SFHR returns to the track to kick off the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series season on March 24 for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The race will be broadcast live on NBC Sports Network beginning at 12pm ET.

He had tried charming about 200 women already but even with no luck he continues to try to get a girl. On a bright sunny afternoon where the ocean smells great from town, He spots a pretty cute Geneticist wearing glasses and has short brown hair walking right past him. The girl would obviously be stronger then him sense she is at a higher class then he is but he decides to try to charm her thinking that she might be the one to end his failed attempts. Pierrot runs up to the Geneticist and says "Hi there! Are you going somewhere? If not I know this great pla-" he gets interrupted by the girl " uhmmm.... I'm kinda busy so can you go away? I have to go meet some friends..." with a worried look on her face."Ohh but come on, I'm sure they can

After my last post about Small Group Communication class working with Mission Marshall, I got some questions about what communication has to do with a service project, and why we would count that as a class requirement.
So that got me thinking… an easy answer would be that the point of Small Group Communication class is to learn how to effectively work in groups, be a leader, and make your group stronger. Therefore you need a group project, and what's better than applying your skills in a real life situation?
But that doesn't speak to why I felt I could write about this project and class in a blog focused on integrating faith an learning in the classroom.
I'll admit, I'm very new to the idea of talking about faith at school. You might know that I got my PhD, and a lot of my teaching experience, at the University of Kansas. Great school, but public. There was absolutely no room for religious views of any kind at school.
But, we did have Small Group Communication class, and my adviser developed this idea of connecting the class with an outside organization so that we could also make it a service project.
You did not have to teach the class that way. A board game creation project would also fit the bill.
But thinking back now, those of us who adopted the service project model all had something in common… I think we were all Christians!
We just did not talk about it. Ever.
For me, the connection between doing a service project and integrating faith and learning is clear. Didn't God teach us that every helping hand we extend is the same as helping Him?
"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. 36 I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.'" Matthew 25:34-36
At ETBU, we talk a lot about faith in the classroom. Professors are encouraged to share their own faith stories, pray with students, and involve Bible verses as they are relevant.
We do a great job of talking the talk in the classroom.
I think all of us are also walking the walk with God, but maybe in a more private manner. How often are classes involved in feeding the hungry, or clothing the naked?
How often do we help students walk the walk in public?
When I was at KU, I was involved with a great church and felt that I was doing my best to serve others… on Sunday. Then I would return to work, where I was forbidden to share my religion in class, and leave it all behind. A good idea? Of course not, but I caved to the pressure.
The one place where I could broadcast my Christian values clearly and reach out to help others with my students was through the service project in Small Group Communication. And I think we were all doing that, we just didn't talk about it in those terms.
Moral of the story? I think it's threefold:
- I am so happy to have the freedom at ETBU to talk about our Christian walks openly with students!
- Serving others IS serving God.
- Doing more than talking about faith may be a better measure of the integration of faith and learning.

I'm trying not to be stupid, but, uh, are there actually flying cars? And do they only have them in Hollywood, or what?
If those were real that would be fricken aswome!!! Lol I'd be like O.O I want one!!!

Neither Freud nor Jung had anything to say about cellular phones. However, as they become more prevalent they are obviously making their way into people's dreams. Cell phones have changed from being a symbol of status to a symbol of security. We feel a sense of connection to our resources when the cell phone is nearby. If your dream includes a cell phone, you are probably seeing yourself as connected-or desiring connection with additional opportunities.
There also may be a sense of wanting to change one's social status to necessitate use of a cell phone. Try to discern who you are calling and under what circumstances, as the phone may have a lot of symbolic lifeline or security image to it as well.
Does it feel like a social crutch in your dream, or a helpful tool?

I love Hamlet! Emotionally speaking it hit me like a sledgehammer. Oh, Hamlet....who knows what nutty adventures you'll get into next. But this one is my favorite Shakespeare writing because it was my first and the effect it had on me afterwards.
I live within a 40 minute drive of one of the top three Shakespearian festivals in the US. As such from the time I was 13 and my aunt paid for me to see a matinee of Midsummer I have been hooked. The festival lasts for nearly 5 months now and will probably go year round within the next 5 years.
As the season is nearly upon us I was just wondering who here has experience with The Bard and was it positive or negitive? If you do like Shakespeare please share what plays are your favorite and why. If you hate him, I ask the same.

My favorite Shakespeare play is probably Henry IV Part I. I really like Prince Hal, the consumate actor and schemer. I find him very interesting as I have this thing for manipulative people who are doing what they think is for the best.
I hope to someday see it actually performed.

Well talk about [Romeo and Juliet] sure i like Shakespeare without him there will be no poem today and they made a movie for it, not the one with "leo" on it, the old one classic and its a project for school
On the contrary, I find the new Romeo and Juliet movie to be awesome. Sure, it's intended for teenagers, but it has style and a good cast. It's one of my favorite movies that I like to watch over and over.
Dont make your sig that big again or I'll de-brain you---administration
Aye I love the new Romeo and Juliet movie... I found it interesting from a story point as well as an a artistic point how the director modernised it.
It was something different, and I think I really worked. Baz Lumaren is my favourite director after all.
I haven't read much Shakespeare... in fact, the only play I've actually read in any great detail was Macbeth, because it was one of my units of study in my final year of highschool.
I quite enjoyed Macbeth, despite the insane amounts of times I had to read it, and the two different threatical versions I had to watch of it, but I always enjoyed English class when we would would sit around and dicuss the play.
I also like a Midsummer nights dream, and Much Ado about Nothing (that's Shakespeare isn't it?) The friends I had in highschool were quite into those two plays, randomly quoting from them too much humerous day to day effect. All the Shakespeare plays I've read or seen, all leave me with good memories in one form or other.

Midsummer was the first one I saw and it held a special place in my heart for quite awile. I just love watching Puck. And yes, those are Shakespeare.Originally Posted by Hikari Sakurai
Was Shakespeare a good writer? I'd definitly say so. Is he blown way out of proportion? Definitly. His writing, although good, is not the greatest thing since sliced bread. I mean, in some schools, it is now mandatory to read a piece of Shakespearian literature each year. I've read Romeo & Juliet 3 times within my lifetime. Its overrated. I could go to the library, and find a book with more plot & keeps you intrested on just one shelf alone.

Gov. Rick Perry, Dr. David Jeremiah Dedicate First Baptist Dallas' New $130 Million Campus
DALLAS, April 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- First Baptist Church of Dallas, led by nationally known pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress, today dedicated its new $130 million campus with the help of government, business and ministry leaders from around the nation, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Dr. David Jeremiah, senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church and host of Turning Point radio and television ministries.
Following the Grand Opening on Easter Sunday, March 31, this morning's services further celebrated God's provision in helping First Baptist complete the largest Protestant church building campaign in modern history during one of the worst economic recessions since the Great Depression. Honoring the Church's past heritage and commitment to Dallas, the service began with an archival video of former First Baptist Pastor Dr. W.A. Criswell in 1974 saying, "It is our desire, under God and the presence of the Lord, to build in the heart of Dallas the most beautiful lighthouse for Christ on this earth."
Mark Lovvorn, chair of the new campus Planning & Development Committee, publicly thanked Dr. Jeffress, for his original God-given vision to create a spiritual oasis in the heart of Dallas, announcing for the first time that the Committee unanimously voted, unbeknownst to the First Baptist leadership, that the Fountain Plaza, a focal feature in the middle of the campus, will now officially be known as the "Jeffress Fountain Plaza."
"Thank you so much for this undeserved but greatly appreciated recognition," Dr. Jeffress said upon hearing the news. "I can't think of a greater honor than to have my name associated with a church I've loved my whole life."

LaHood to announce $44M for Illinois road, rail
More than $44 million in federal transportation money is headed to Illinois for two projects in the Chicago area and one in Alton in southern Illinois.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is to announce the funding Thursday at a Chicago "L" station with Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. It's part of more than a half-billion dollars in federal transportation funding for 46 projects in 33 states.
In Illinois, $20 million will go to the Chicago Transit Authority to repair rail lines between downtown and O'Hare
International Airport. Another $13.8 million will go to a transportation center in Alton next to the city's Amtrak station. Nearly $10.5 million will go to the Illinois Department of Transportation to reconstruct two miles of Route 83 in Chicago's southern suburbs.

Re: Bilge pump non return valve.

These valves quite often stick shut especially if the bilge pump does not cycle often. The biggest draw back is the added head pressure that the pump can not overcome. This additional head is caused by the standing water in the discharge hose, and thus, a centrifugal pump will simply cavitate and do nothing but make some neat little bubbles in the bilge.
For boats stored in-water during cold weather the water in the bilge hose above bilge level can freeze when the bilge water is not frozen. This present an impossible situation to pump into.
Fill a grain silo with corn and then try to push a door open into it...... Pretty tough. The check valve creates the same type of resistance to the bilge pump, Centrifugal pumps deal horribly with any added head pressure..
Check valves on rotary vane pumps or diaphragm pumps do not suffer the issues they do on centrifugal Rule style pumps. I have seen everything from ruined interior cabinetry, cabin soles and engines due to stuck check valves. I have also seen boats that sank because of a stuck check valve..
The largest maker of centrifugal bilge pumps, Rule, specifically recommends not to use them.
They can be a danger if used on a system with centrifugal bilge pump. Bilge pumps are safety items anything that can prevent the pump from pumping becomes a potential danger.
Maine, there
instances where you might need to install a check valve (I needed to) and ways to do so that doesn't give rise to the "standing water in the discharge hose" you mention (install it high up near the discharge point - not in the bilge with the pump itself).. I guess exactly what you do depends on the specific circumstances and the type of boat.
I've known check valves to fail
(bits of rubbish preventing the flap closing), but I've never heard of one sticking closed.. but then we don't get the freezing weather you get. I've known of boats that sank because there was no check valve fitted when they needed one..
IMHO, the bottom line is: Don't install a check valve unless your particular installation means you have no other alternative.
BTW, the other thing that can prevent the pump pumping is lack of a strum box.. make sure you use one.

MIAMI (March 6, 2012) - MO Productions president Carlos Oliveira announced today that the long rumored fight between retired Brazilian living legend, four-time world champion Acelino "Popo" Freitas, and undefeated World Boxing Council South American middleweight champion Michael "The Brazilian Rocky" Oliveira, will take place June 2 at Conrad Punta Del Este and Resort Casino in Uruguay. The 10-round Freitas-Oliveira main event will be contested at 154-pounds. The remainder of the card will be announced at a later date. "Everything was finalized yesterday and 'Popo' signed the contract," Carlos said from Sao Paulo. "We're all very excited that the deal has been made for what will be a huge event for Brazilians. We have a beautiful venue in nearby Uruguay. The fight will air live on Global TV in Brazil and Uruguay television." Oliveira supporters in Brazil are already jokingly saying, "Michael has an opportunity to knockout a politician without going to jail." The 36-year-old Freitas (38-2, 32 KOs) is a state legislature in Brazil, where he is a national sports hero and revered in a country preparing to host the next World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. 'Popo' has been retired for nearly five years, since his last fight April 28, 2007, but he will come out retirement to take on the popular Oliveira. Standing only 5' 6", Freitas captured the World Boxing Organization ("WBO") lightweight title, in addition to two-time WBO and World Boxing Association ("WBA") super featherweight championships. The heaviest he has ever fought at is 135 pounds, nearly 20 pounds lighter than the junior middleweight maximum he is expected to weigh for his June 2 fight against a much younger, stronger Oliveira. Between 1995 and 2007, Freitas defeated Joel Casamayor, Daniel Attah, Juan Carlos Ramirez, Jorge Rodrigo Barrios and Artur Grigorian. Acelino's only two losses were to the late Diego Corrales and Juan Diaz in his last fight. The 21-year-old Oliveira (17-0, 12 KOs), rated No. 14 by the World Boxing Council ("WBC"), has fought three times in his native Brazil in an effort to establish himself as Freitas' successor in Brazilian boxing circles. Born in Sao Paulo, he moved to Miami when he was only two weeks old, and now finds himself training to fight his country's second-greatest boxer, Freitas, to only Hall of Famer Eder Jofre. Michael Oliveira Oliveira's last three fights have been in three different countries: Sergei Melis (WDEC8) on February 11 in Canada, Xavier Tolliver (WDQ8) on ShoBox in El Paso, Texas, and Abel Nicolas Adriel (DEC10) in Sao Paulo. The 5' 9" Oliveira has gradually dropped weight, originally fighting as a super middleweight, until his last two fights at middleweight. The goal, under the direction of head trainer Orlando Cueller and strength-and-conditioning coach Steve Arintok, has been for Michael to fight at his natural weight of 154, which he'll be doing for the first time against Freitas. Oliveira is unique among professional boxers. He comes from an affluent family, attends Florida International University, and had only two amateur matches before turning pro in 2008. An exciting personality in and out of the ring, Michael is a two-time defending Brazilian International Press Award's Athlete of the Year (2009 and 2010), and a strong candidate for 2011 honors against the likes of UFC star Anderson Silva.

Maybe I'm using this wrong, but this stuff did nothing for me. The foundation on my nose rubs off quickly (before the rest of my makeup) and I was hoping this would extend the life of my foundation longer. I tried this several days on my nose alone and it did nothing, in fact I think my foundation wore off sooner. Would never buy this!
I really like this primer. It goes on smoothly, has no weird smell and a little goes a long way. It is a bit on the expensive side but it does come with a lot of product. I would definitely buy this again.
This is the best mattifying primer that I've tried to so far, even better than the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer that others have raved about. I like that it tones down redness a bit and keeps my foundation matte for several hours. I do need to blot by late afternoon, but that's longer lasting than anything I've used before. I'm still using a generous sample from Sephora, but before I bite the bullet and get the full-size version, I want to also sample the newest version of the primer with the word Pure in it. This one is supposed to be oil-free. Sounds even better for oily skin!
This product is a good primer. I wouldn't say it made my skin "poreless," (If someone finds a product that actually does that please let me know!!) but it does a good job of preparing my skin for foundation. It did not make my oily skin any oilier. It goes on super smoothly and a little bit of product goes a long way. Price wise? Definitely could be cheaper!
This is the primer with the best results in appearance of all the primers I've used and the only flaw is that its not natural or preservative-free. It goes on smoothly, is a light fluid, has a tan coloring, and is packaged in an easy squeeze tube. Pores really do disappear with use of this primer under foundation.

I used this for close to two months, and I really liked it to help cover my pores. Unfortunately, it made my already oily skin super super oily, to the point where I bot billions of blotting powder and spent money on oil control things. When I ran out, I used it as an excuse to look for another primer, and actually started using Clinique Instant Pore Minimzer. I had tried it before, but didn't like it much. My skin texture has gotten a lot better, and this time it actually worked for me. I didn't realize until I used the Clinique how oily the Too Faced made me. It's kind of sad, because it is very smoothing (more so than the Clinique), but pore control is pretty similar (my sister actually said the Clinique blurs my pores more), and the Clinque controls oil much much better. I'm actually a little upset because I bought so many products for oily skin that made my face dry and powdery, when I could have found my HG foundation long ago and saved some money. Will not be repurchasing.

I tried this for about six weeks before I gave up. The reviews here on MUA were mixed, but a Sephora SA recommended this to me, after I told her I had redness from my rosacea. She told me that Primed and Poreless promises to soothe and even out skin tone, and they she herself loves the way it reduces her redness. I was very excited to try this product. Ultimately, I took it back and now I'm still on the hunt for a good primer.
The good:
-- It is smoothing when you put it on.
-- It didn't break me out or clog my pores, as so many products do. (Fussy skin!)
-- A little does seem to go a long way.
The bad:
-- It did NOTHING, and I do mean nothing, to combat or control my redness. Every time I put it on, I would wait to see some difference. Once in a while, I would actually feel like it increased redness, at least temporarily.
-- The tube doesn't feel very full. For $30, you should get way more product than 3/4 a tube!
-- After the second or third time I used it, I noticed that teeny little... pills of STUFF were gathering around my chin and jawline after I put on my liquid foundation. A different Sephora SA told me that that is common when you put on a lot of product, which I do not. I think this weird effect occurred because my skin is dry. I have a great hydrating moisturizer and a good serum, and I've never had this issue with any other primer, so I feel it's the TF product itself.
-- At the end of the day, this did nothing to improve the look of my makeup, or increase the longevity. I had many days in between uses where I'd skip this primer, and I felt my foundation (DiorSkin Forever) lasted just as long.
Obviously, I would not repurchase. My primer search continues, much to my frustration. I'm planning on taking Lisa Eldridge's suggestion and using La Roche-Posay's Cicaplast next..
almost done with a tube of this...does the job but I bet there are a lot out there that do not...this feels less slick than the smash box primer to me, and that could be a plus for some people...I simply use this to keep my skin more even and to prevent direct contact with makeup...I find my skin to be less irritated when I use primer...I am leaning toward buying this again over others, tho the price is steep

A super helpful SA at Sephora gave me a sample of this. The pores on my cheeks seem very visible even after putting my BE primer. So it was time to switch. The application of my blush lately has been patchy too. Needless to say not a good combo! I needed a good primer that minimizes pores. I love the results after applying this! Not only does my makeup stay on all day but no more pores!! You have to look very closely to see the tiniest amount. My blush is looking pretty nice too! The ingredient list justifies the $30 IMO (Retinol, Vitamin A,C,E). Me happy.

This did nothing out of the ordinary for me. I was in Sephora yesterday and the girl gave me a sample. I am so glad I didn't buy this because it did nothing. Even she couldnt tell me any definitive difference between this and the Sephora brand primer, which I ended up purchasing. I have tried the Sephora brand primer and loved it. Didn't break me out, was smooth and kept my makeup on all day.
I am so weary of products that claim to shrink pores or whatever, because it is all temporary if it even works at all. Would not recommend or purchase.
