23 Evocative Images of Abandonment and Urban Decay
Today I found myself surfing through flickr admiring a growing number of images on the theme of abandonment and urban decay. While perhaps not an every day kind of subject for most of us – there's a growing number of photographers exploring a theme that can produce striking images. Here's a few that caught my eye today. Click these images to be taken to their home where they can be viewed larger and where you can learn more about the stories and the wonderful photographers behind them.

I LOVE these type of shooting style. I am always looking for this exact thing. I made it my final in school and made a A++. I like try to think if these could tell their stories. At one time these were al brand new and clean, cars that at one time shined. I love trying to find old farms too. Lots of fun

Urban exploration is awesome.
This reminds me I should post some of my rubes photos on to flickr
February 27, 2012 01:06 am
these are almost all HDR! seems the new norm.
February 24, 2012 03:10 pm
MY GOD! I absolutely LOVE these photos. VERY inspiring to me, and the locations....WOW!
February 19, 2012 01:14 pm
I have always loved this subject.
I just wish I had HDR back when I did most of mine.
February 19, 2012 03:12 am
I was out the other day and found this image
February 19, 2012 03:01 am
Excellent photos, the HDR photos are a little overcooked for my tastebuds, would like to see the originals to get feel for the reality.
February 18, 2012 10:43 pm
these shots are great
February 17, 2012 07:11 pm
These photos are wonderful! I am curious about where these photos were taken- do the buildings have names? Why were some of them abandoned with furniture and equipment still in them? Thank you for sharing.
February 17, 2012 06:36 pm
These are really great photos...and very sad as well....I'm learning how to play the piano and it really saddens me to see a photo of an abandoned grand piano in some scary building...
February 17, 2012 06:29 pm
Great shots but I am sorry I am not at all a fan of HDR - for me it loses the atmosphere
February 17, 2012 01:35 pm
I LOVE Urban Decay photography !! This is a great share. I have a question. I live in Columbus Ohio and was wondering if there are/is a site that compiles urban decay places in different cities and publishes them?? It's hard to find abandon buildings in a big city. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
February 17, 2012 01:00 pm
Very nice pictures from everyone. Thank you all for sharing! Here is some of my work.
February 17, 2012 12:28 pm

Awesome collection of striking photographs
February 13, 2012 09:29 pm
Some of the examples are really stunning! Personally I am a bit tired of seeing all that HDR in abandonment photography, but that is just a matter of taste. ;)
Here in Italy we have a lot of abandoned places and I often go exploring them with my friends. Many times this also proves to be a great occasion for visiting places that we otherwise wouldn't even know existed!

Well i use to get high and be out there on the street many years ago, but have been clean for some time but the picture of "furnished room for rent" reminds me of the rooms i use to stay in during my time of addiction. that is so crazy how things are so true you just don't see it until your mind is clear.

Beautiful images of urban decay. One of my favourite photography subjects.

February 11, 2012 08:39 am
Very nice collection of what I call "haikyo" images. That is the term for urban explorying shots in Japan where I did a majority of this type of photography. It is not easy to find such large scale abandoned sites in Florida, but I did discover this cement plant:

An old one from me; a picture of neglect at the edge of an English beach
February 11, 2012 07:46 am
Wow! There are some gorgeous shots in there. The Black and white photo of what appears to be a hospital gurney with light streaming trough the open window. Great tones and composition and not over processed so that I feel like I am looking at an actual photograph.
February 11, 2012 05:15 am
dok, it depends on whos shooting. hdr is the easiest way to get all available light into the shot. I shoot a lot of hdr but I also strobe while exploring.
Strobe + hdr
A lot of the above images in the original post are from Detroit, where I shoot.
February 11, 2012 04:14 am
Great fan of urbex and this selection is beautiful. But why on earth does it have to be always in HDR ? I love it too when there a natural feeling and when the photographer made a real decision regarding the exposure.
Ex-USSR must be a heaven for urbex...
February 11, 2012 03:53 am
There's a fine line between urban decay and urban blight. Sometimes, like with a Starbux on every corner, the line isn't so fine.
February 11, 2012 03:31 am
Urban exploration is one of my top favorite things to do. I love the feeling of stepping back into history. Not many people get to say that they have. It may sound weird, but I do become attached to certain buildings. And that "abandoned" (more so moldy) smell that hits you when you first walk into an access point? I love it.
February 11, 2012 03:16 am
These are all fantastic images. I love that HDR is being used.
I love mixing urban decay with light painting:

Some fabulous shots there Darren, I guess I'm going to have to up my game a little.
I have a love hate relationship with urban decay. Sometime it can be beautiful, as above. Other times it can be a blight on our communities: http://wp.me/p268wp-9s

Lawmakers say Obama surveillance idea won't work
WASHINGTON (AP) — A chief element of President Barack Obama's attempt to overhaul U.S. surveillance will not work, leaders of Congress' intelligence committees said Sunday, pushing back against the idea that the government should cede control of how Americans' phone records are stored.
Obama, under pressure to calm the controversy over government spying, said Friday he wants bulk phone data stored outside the government to reduce the risk that the records will be abused. The president said he will require a special judge's advance approval before intelligence agencies can examine someone's data and will force analysts to keep their searches closer to suspected terrorists or organizations.
"And I think that's a very difficult thing," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Sunday. "Because the whole purpose of this program is to provide instantaneous information to be able to disrupt any plot that may be taking place."
Under the surveillance program, the NSA gathers phone numbers called and the length of conversations, but not the content of the calls. Obama said the NSA sometimes needs to tap those records to find people linked to suspected terrorists. But he said eventually the bulk data should be stored somewhere out of the government's hands. That could mean finding a way for phone companies to store the records, though some companies have balked at the idea, or it could mean creating a third-party entity to hold the records.
Feinstein, D-Calif., said many Americans don't understand that threats persist a dozen years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "New bombs are being devised. New terrorists are emerging, new groups. Actually, a new level of viciousness. And I think we need to be prepared," Feinstein said.
Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Obama had intensified a sense of uncertainty about the country's ability to root out terrorist threats. Obama didn't say who should have control of Americans' data; he directed the attorney general and director of national intelligence to find a solution within 60 days.
"We really did need a decision on Friday, and what we got was lots of uncertainty," Rogers, R-Mich., said. "And just in my conversations over the weekend with intelligence officials, this new level of uncertainty is already having a bit of an impact on our ability to protect Americans by finding terrorists who are trying to reach into the United States."
The lawmakers did praise the president for his defense of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs. "First, I thought it was very important that the president laid out no abuses, this was not an illegal program, it wasn't a rogue agency," Rogers said.
The surveillance programs have been under fire since former National Security Agency analyst Edward Snowden absconded with an estimated 1.7 million documents related to surveillance and other NSA operations, giving the documents to journalists around the world. Revelations in the documents sparked a furor over whether Americans have been giving up privacy protections in exchange for intelligence-gathering on terrorism.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gabriel Climber's finger cuff Great device, use it setting routes in the gym on over hangs and it works great! If you put your friends finger in the top and release the trigger the harder they pull, it pulls tight. March 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stephen Great ascender Used these for over 80 aid pitches including twice up El Cap. I thought they were great. Smooth up, on, and off. Easy to trigger. I have tried a few other and these have been the best. Highly recommend. January 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eric Essential Bought this for canyoneering in southern Utah. Another piece of essential gear added to the quiver, hope I never have to use it. June 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eric best ascender I have a right-hand one. This works great on big rappels without a climb out. Also can be used in 3-1 haul system and self-rescue. Have used this on wet ropes in rain (but not ice or snow) still grabs! Easy on and off with one hand, also like how a push up the line takes teeth off automatically. Have not had a problem with it popping off, although I always have a biner through top hole. Best ascender in my opinion on market. Heavier than some but has huge hand area if you are using gloves. You can also operate trigger without sticking your finger through hole if using thicker gloves. February 20, 2014

 Light fixtures: Halogen spot lights with SS rims.
 Stools: Ikea Ingolf
 Flooring and paint: builderÂs choice, we just left what was already here.
Cost of cabinets (sink and faucet included) was around 2800 Â.
Cost of appliances was around 2600Â (thanks to amazing discounts DH gets at his old job).
Labor cost: 500Â.
Total cost: Around 7000Â (including accessories, lighting, cost of new caisson for hood vents, stools, plus plumber fees for moving radiator).
We live in a 200-year-old (maybe older) building in a small French city. This building burned down around three years ago. Insurance paid to have it rebuilt, but following French protocol, the builders did not install a kitchen. So, when we bought it a few months ago we started from scratch. Our friend is a professional kitchen installer, so he helped us with the cabinets and then my husband basically did the rest (backsplash, lighting, new caisson for hood vents).
I didnÂt want the hood at all, but considering the way our kitchen is open to our living room, IÂm starting to think it was a good idea. The induction stove is awesome; I had never used one before, nor even knew what it was and I love it. I also started out wanting a custom countertop, but when we considered our budget and our plans for this apartment, we just decided to go with standard laminate, and in the end, IÂm glad we didnÂt spend thousands of euros on the countertop, I like the one we have just fine.
Below are before and after pictures. I have a picture of the Ikea-online-program generated plan, but I have to figure out how to convert it to jpg and then I'll post it to show how close the plans are to the results.
Small space, loaded with style! you did a great job. Everything looks so good.
Love it! You made such good use of a small space. The laminate counter top was a great choice too - clean & not at all distracting. Hopefully the price of induction appliances will come down in the US - I would love to have that!
Beautiful job! I love seeing European kitchens. Although it makes me feel we're so materialistic over here. I would have to throw away 3/4 of what I own to live there (and probably find out I didn't miss it!) :)
On another blog an American couple renovated a kitchen in Berlin open to the LR in a similar way, and their neighbors said they had "Americanized" it. Can I ask what your French neighbors think of your new kitchen?
Also, (I"m really nosy but we get so few Euro kitchens on here!) I tried to figure it out but I'm probably wrong...which door is the fridge???
Is this too weird or could you post a pic with the fridge door open? Even when I watch "Brit coms" on PBS I can't figure out how one copes with those dorm sized fridges.
Or if you don't want to that's okay. (I know I'm nuts.) :)
What a fresh, functional, beautiful Ikea kitchen-- I love it! I love your floor tile, backsplash, shelf and cubbies, and how you placed the small cabinet by the door (great landing spot). The hood looks great. I too am curious about the fridge location and how you managed to panel it (if you did that). Enjoy!
Thanks for all the nice compliments!
Responses to questions follow:
scrappy25- Yes, the little shelf where the cereal, flour, rice and sugar canisters is was custom built. It had to be done like that because of the "fake cabinet" which hides the water heater behind those two doors. Our friend who installed the kitchen is amazing, he figured this all out and made that little ledge by the sink possible. Since the building is so old NOTHING is right angles, but I think he did a pretty good job concealing that fact.
gitananoel- The small handles are 24 cm (9.4 inches) , the bigger ones are 44cm (17.3 inches). The Lansa handles come in 5 sizes, we could have mixed them all up, but just chose the two most useful sizes for uniformity's sake. As you can see we use the dishwasher handle as a place to hang our dishtowels, so convenient. (I just looked online and I don't see these lengths available on the American website, there are still many different sizes, but not these, strange, unless I'm doing the conversion wrong or something.)
biochem101- When a kitchen is open to the living room it is literally called "une cuisine am�ricaine," and, since I'm American everyone thinks it is very appropriate for us to have a kitchen like this! Our friends and family seem to really like the fact that it's open, but, really, with our limited space and the way the room was already set up to be a kitchen/living room combo, we really had no choice, so, yes, therefore, I am a living stereotype!
We obviously don't have room for a real dining table, so we're going to get a table that serves as a coffee table and has a mechanism which allows us to unfold it to twice the coffee table size and to raise it so it can serve as a "real" table when we have guests.
Here is a picture with the fridge door open:
It's really not that small! Everything fits: lots of bottles, leftovers, condiments. We live in town, so I can just get whatever I need on a daily or every-other-day basis.
morton5- As for paneling the fridge, I wasn't here when the guys did it, but you just buy the whole cabinet from Ikea, plop the fridge inside and the hardware that comes with the fridge and the Ikea cabinet means that it all lines up and is really like a built-in fridge. I asked my husband, he said it was really easy and can't remember if the special installation kit was sold with the cabinet or the fridge. The fridge is a special fridge made to be built into cabinets of this size, it was heinously ugly before getting paneled, and weirdly sits above ground inside the cabinet box. Here are a few pictures of the way the fridge is installed:
I am very happy to answer any other questions regarding my kitchen or our "Ikea experience."
onedogedie nailed it with "Crisp and white like a perfectly ironed shirt."
Very nicely done!
For those curious to know what 7000 Euros is in American dollars, it's about $9800 at present exchange rates. That's an incredible bargain for the kitchen you created, ponette.
Beau! Cuisine ! Magnifique! merveilleux !
If I remember correctly you and your DH were worried
about the Hospital look. You also had to search for Tile
in Europe as it is harder to find than in the US. I had
been so curious to know how you had been coming along.
I am thrilled to see it is amazing. You have a beautiful
french kitchen. I love the shelves beside the oven, the
elegant backsplash, the hood and especially how you
handled the window. Lovely sofit your DH must have built.
No pristine hospital. Instead you have a classy, fresh
crisp, functional kitchen in a wonderful French city.
Now a toast!
I love what you did with the backsplash.
The fridge IS bigger than I thought. That's cool how it's constructed to go inside the cabinet right from the start. And I love the freezer drawers!
They could do that over here (as far as I'm concerned anyway) and 'skip' a finished outside. It SHOULD make a fridge less expensive. Then ALL cabinet makers could simply sell 'Fridge Cabinets' so everyone's was part of the woodwork. It's been mentioned countless times on here how ugly that appliance is, unless you get FD. AND the issue with black sides on SS doesn't make people happy. A Fridge Cabinet, and a fridge that sits up in it, is the perfect solution.
Thanks so much for sharing!
Bon Appetite! :)
I love how you packed so much into a small space. It's just brilliant! How nice to be able to shop in town everyday, if necessary. It's great how the outside is old and the inside is perfectly modern.
I lived in France a long time ago, majored in French literature and I'm still in love with Louis XIV chairs with escargot feet. I'll be doing a American version of "French country" that I call "California French."
It just goes to show you how small spaces can be an asset.
Gina W, Don't worry, that is just a temporary wire, once we get cable we won't have to have an antenna out the window! I should have unplugged it and made it all tidy for the picture! Anyway, I am finally posting the Ikea-generated plan for the kitchen, which I think looks pretty close to what we actually got. I'm no computer wiz, and I figured out how to do this, so it's pretty easy.

"Excellent Apartment, Perfect Location, Very Hospitable Owners"
We booked Apartment Chamois for over the New Year period for 2 adults and 2 children. We were not disappointed. The clean, warm, cosy apartment had everything you would need, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area with WIFI, TV, DVD player and comfortable beds! The location was central to everything, ski in, ski out which is great when you have children. Nikki, Phillip and their team were excellent. We couldn't ask any more of them, dealing with our very late arrival, having boots, skis and lift passes organised, restaurants recommended, New Year's Eve dinner booked at our request and even a large library of DVDs for the children to use free of charge. Would totally recommend Avoriaz Chalets :-)
We are truly delighted that you enjoyed your holiday so much and thank you for your kind comments. We do hope that helping our guests with the extras aids your enjoyment of the trip. Your comments show our efforts are appreciated - thank you for booking with Avoriaz Chalets.

"Great Accommodation in Perfect Ski Resort"
We have visited many ski resorts in our time and stayed in a variety of accommodation styles, but I'm writing this to say that Apartment Chamois at Avoriaz is top of the pile! Met our expectations entirely and managed extremely effectively by Avoriaz Chalets. If you want stress free ski holiday accommodation in the heart of the resort you don't have to look any further!
Thank you for your very kind review. The full renovation of Apartment Chamois was completed in time for this season and it does seem to have met our highest hopes. We hope to welcome you back to Avoriaz Chalets in due course. Kindest regards

Check these out, too...
only does she have a recurring role on Nickelodeon's Fred: The Show, but she's also going on tour with Big Time Rush in
July, debuting songs from her self-titled EP, set to release this Tuesday, June 26. We got a sneak peek at the
five tracks on her new EP and we're officially obsessed with this talented
first track, "Mean Girls," may have a soft and quiet beat, but Rachel's voice
remains strong and powerful throughout. It tells the story of all those who
feel like an outcast, whether you're eating lunch all alone or being called
names. The emboldening chorus ("Mean girls, you no longer rule my world")
encourages every girl being bullied out there to stand up for themselves and
not let the meanies get to you anymore.
With You" (ft. Mann) is more of an upbeat song with a funky beat. Rachel's
flawless voice carries a fun melody ("Don't turn your back on the sound, 'cause
I really wanna rock with you, boy!), while Mann comes in with some rap—and,
surprisingly, it fits!
is a chill, breezy song, perfect to blast sitting poolside, sippin', well,
lemonade! It's a lighthearted track with positive lyrics like "glass is half
full" and "life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
Kind of Wonderful" is an adorable love song that's still got some kick to it. A
snappy beat goes along well with Rachel's cute lyrics about her friends not
understanding the appeal to a guy who's "barely as tall as me." But she doesn't
care what they think—he makes her "heart go boom, boom, boom!"
A Song Can Do" is a simple jam with a steady beat, perfect for hearing the
incredible accuracy with which Rachel smoothly hits her notes. This track is
all about the power of music and how songs can help us escape from our
problems. Perfection!
listening to Rachel Crow's self-titled EP, it's clear this 14-year-old girl has
mad talent. And her simple, relatable tunes are ones you don't want to miss!
Rachel may not have won The X Factor,
but she's won our hearts for sure!

Federal Agencies Partner to Protect Veterans, Service Members and Their Families Using Gi Bill Education Benefits
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
New Online Complaint System Empowers Students, Strengthens Enforcement
The Departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, Education and Justice, along with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission announced today the launch of a new online complaint system designed to collect feedback from veterans, service members and their families who are experiencing problems with educational institutions receiving funding from Federal military and veterans educational benefits programs, including benefits programs provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill and the DoD Military Tuition Assistance Program.
The centralized online reporting system is designed for veterans, service members and eligible dependents to report negative experiences with educational institutions; and gives the federal government the information needed to identify and address unfair, deceptive, and misleading practices and ensure high quality academic and student support services are available for veterans, service members, and their families.
"The online complaint system empowers veterans and their dependents and provides them a direct line to VA and our partner agencies," said Allison A. Hickey, Under Secretary for Benefits, Department of Veterans Affairs. "The feedback we receive from veterans, service members and their families will help us strengthen enforcement of the 'Principles of Excellence' for institutions of higher learning serving veterans and their families to ensure students are receiving the education benefits they have earned and deserve."
"Our service members and their families now have an easier and efficient way to provide feedback on their civilian educational experiences, which will ensure we have the right information to identify and address any negative practices," said Jessica Wright, Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.
"This launch marks a critical step in an ongoing interagency effort to stop those who engage in fraud and misrepresentation targeting our service members and veterans," said Stuart F. Delery, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division of the Department of Justice. "Individuals who report concerns will not only be able to resolve their personal issue, but also help protect fellow service members and veterans from the same misconduct."
Students can submit a complaint if they believe their school is failing to follow the Principles of Excellence, (i.e. unfair recruiting practices, credit transfer or change in degree requirements) through the centralized online reporting system accessed via the Department of Defense and GI Bill websites. When feedback is received, agencies will contact the school on behalf of the student and work toward a resolution. Complaints and their resolution will be forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Sentinel Network, accessible by over 650 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies
for use in enhancing and coordinating law enforcement investigations.
Executive Order 13607, signed April 27, 2012, addresses reports of unfair, deceptive or misleading behavior toward veterans, service members and their families pursuing higher education and directs agencies to establish, implement and promote compliance with "Principles of Excellence" for educational institutions receiving funding from Federal military and veterans educational benefits programs for America's veterans, service members and eligible dependents, including preventing abusive and deceptive recruiting practices. The new online complaint system is one of a range of tools being implemented by the federal government to ensure that service members, veterans and eligible dependents have access to meaningful information about the cost and quality of educational institutions.

Are Roosters Allowed in S.L.?
September 30, 2008
Regarding "Pets with a purpose: Utahns turning to poultry," (Sept. 28), I was a bit confused. In the story, Daysha Moore is pictured "visiting" with Cookie, one of her chickens, that is clearly a rooster. The article goes on to say she lives in Salt Lake (as do I) and that roosters are not permitted. I have chickens and have resisted having a rooster because of the laws regarding having them.
I do feel bad for people who have roosters in their area and who have little choice but to listen to the crowing every morning and evening. I would not put my neighbors through that. We all need to obey our local ordinances.

First post here... somewhat new to brewing... I have a few batches under my belt... learning as I go.
My 4th batch of beer is a belgian saison (brewer's best kit) http://www.brewersbestkits.com/pdf/1...n%20Recipe.pdf
and I have a question. I followed the instructions with the kit. It sat for one week in the primary at room temp (I kept it around 70), and it bubbled good. Sounded like it was finished... I transferred to 5 gal carboy and put in the freezer around 68 degrees and it bubbled a bit. I thought it was finished as it has been in there two weeks now. I went to pull it out to bottle, but it looked like it has been bubbling a little. I sat it on the counter and let it sit for an hour or so, but it is still bubbling a little. Is this anything I need to worry about or am I fairly safe to proceed with bottling? I know I could take gravity readings and compare, but I was hoping to bottle and cook a new batch tonight
Do you have a hydrometer? Measuring the gravity of the wort is the only way to know if fermentation is complete.
The only thing worse than dumping beer is serving beer you should have dumped.
Yes, I have a hydrometer. If i take a gravity reading right now, I'd have to wait a few days to compare, right? Or could I just compare to anticipated FG?
No, you'll have to wait. Bottling before terminal gravity is a bad idea. You'll get overcarbonated beer at best and exploding bottles at worst.
I think to be on the safe side, I'll just keep it at room temperature (crank it down a little to around 70) to finish out whatever is left in the wort and bottle next weekend. That will free up my spot in the freezer for my batch that I am going to brew tonight.
There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?
take the gravity reading.
do you know what kind of yeast it was? The Wyeast belgian saison has unusually high temperature range that it needs to finish. raising the temperature should help the yeast be more active, but you might not want that depending on the strain.
I am guessing the kit was belgian saison flavor... not using saison yeast. I have read the same thing. I would think that if it was saison yeast, the instructions would have called for higher fermentation temps. I have been following the directions per the recipe. I posted a link to the recipe above.

this sounds suspicious "Google has agreed to allow competitors access to standards-essential patents the company acquired along with its purchase of Motorola Mobility in 2012, the FTC said."
So, basically google has agreed to change nothing? They never refused access to standards essential patents, Apple and MS wanted access without paying for them.
So basically, the FTC found nothing and got google to reword a promise to continue to function as they have before. I don't see how scraping a website somehow mea

On Sundays especially, we're trying to give you depth across the geographical spectrum.
My oldest daughter, now 18, is a freshman engineering student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. She is also Exhibit A among the challenges facing today's newspaper editors. She scoffs at the idea of reading a newspaper when she can get all the news and information she needs online. (Or so she thinks.) She literally sleeps with her cell phone, which I believe will soon evolve into her primary means of receiving information.
I, on the other hand, cannot start my day without coffee and at least one newspaper. The habit is so ingrained that I feel lost without something to read at the breakfast table. Later in the day, I'll browse a variety of news websites for updates. Then there's my mother-in-law, whom I'm pretty sure has never been online to check a news report in her life.
Therein lies one of the quandaries facing every major newspaper. How do we serve all of these people who consume news in so many different ways? How do we do this without undermining the core newspaper and the hundreds of thousands of dedicated readers who still want their news in print? This is a particularly difficult challenge when dealing with national and international news, which is available in many, many places other than the Star Tribune. How many of our readers still look to us as their primary source for this information? Even if they get this news from television, I'm not sure they'll find a report substantive enough to help them understand, for example, the implications of the growing relationship between Iran and Russia.
We wrestle with these issues every day, but even more so on Sundays, when nearly twice as many people read the paper. The Sunday issue has the 11th-largest circulation of any Sunday paper in the country.
Rene Sanchez, our deputy managing editor for content, has been overseeing the Sunday edition for a few years now. In deciding what to showcase on Sundays, he looks for stories that will resonate in the hearts and minds of readers. "It's a day when people still tend to have a bit more time to read and reflect, so we owe them stories that are compelling -- that take them in deep or surprising ways into the issues and the characters that are a big part of life in the Twin Cities." They certainly aren't the type of stories you'd want to read on your cell phone.
Still, it's tough to decide how to strike the balance on Sundays between local, national and international. "As we put more front-page emphasis on strong local stories, I think we're still obliged to give readers an ambitious report on the country and the world. That's why a few Sundays ago, for example, we published an analysis of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and why last week we devoted an entire page inside the Sunday A section to the big political crisis in Pakistan."
Sanchez also has been working with the paper's wire editors to make the Sunday Nation+World page a showcase for deeply reported international or Washington stories. He's also setting aside space just for weekly stories on the 2008 presidential race. And he created a feature called "American Tales," stories that tell you something unexpected or charming about how life in the country is changing.
Despite these efforts, readers often tell me that they find the paper short on the national and international stories. The world may be wired, but large numbers of people don't want to wake up on Sunday mornings and go to their computers to find out what's going on. Starting next Sunday, we'll be making more changes and adding space to the A section to provide a fuller national and international report. I'll be watching the daily A section as well to see if other adjustments are needed.
Is this the right balance in today's wired world? We'll look to our readers -- the ones who still like to hold a paper in their hands -- to let us know.

You can assess the appropriateness of your home's proportions by asking yourself the following questions. If you answer yes to five or more, your house is suffering from a case of "Too Bigness."
■ Are any living areas in the house taller than they are wide?
■ Do any spaces feel comfortable only when the house is full of people?
■ When you are in the kitchen, do you have to shout to be heard in the adjacent family room?
■ Is your house so large that you can coexist with other household members without running into them?
■ Are any spaces particularly echoey?
■ Are any spaces rarely used? Is there no need to repurpose these spaces because there's already plenty of room in the house?
■ Does the house look huge from any exterior angle?
■ Do you sometimes feel as though you are rattling around in the house—that there's too much space and not enough of a sense of place in any of it?
■ Do you sometimes wander around the house looking for a comfortable place to sit and read or have a cup of coffee?
■ Do you have any rooms that are more than 16 feet tall?
■ Do guests stepping into your foyer or living room for the first time look upward and say, "Wow"? (This is not always an indication of approval, just awe.)

Help! Getting wood floors - can't find a 15 inch oak return
myrtle_59January 16, 2011
We are replacing carpet with red oak floors. We have old metal returns in the baseboard which are 15 by 8 inches. I can't find wooden returns of any kind at Lowes etc and can't find this size online. I took one off to see if 14 inch would work but it will not cover the hole in the wall board.
Do you have a source or an idea? I have wooden diffusers and they look nice with the floors. The man is putting down the floors and new baseboards in a week and I need to come up with these asap. Thanks!
Ridgefield Industries will make you one. Call 815-356-9049 with the species and size you need. They will prefinish them if you wish.
