(By David D Moenning)In September 2006, Nouriel Roubini – aka Dr. Doom – a warned a wary IMF that the U.S. was likely to face a big-time housing bubble bust, an oil shock, and decreased consumer confidence. Essentially, Roubini warned of a deep recession in the U.S., which came to pass. As such, whenever Roubini has spoken since then, people listen.
Although Roubini recently turned positive on U.S. stocks (for a short-term trade, which, by the way, wasn't a bad call), the notoriously negative economist is back with a new list of macro concerns. First, Dr. Doom is cautioning against the continued process of "painful deleveraging" in the advanced economies of Europe. Second, Roubini says the ECB is limited in its capabilities. And third, the price of oil is going to be a problem.
[Related -The Soda Industry Is Dying - But PepsiCo Will Thrive]
The chairman of Roubini Global Economics, a consultancy firm, honed in on these three primary points while at the Ambrosetti Workshop on the shores of Lake Como, Italy last month.
He began by accusing the fiscal compact and austerity measures of spoiling short-term geopolitical and economic stability.
"We need growth in the euro zone. We cannot just talk about austerity, because without growth that would be unsustainable."
Roubini explained that austerity measures ultimately exacerbate recessions and said he is anticipating additional strikes and uprisings along with governments weakening to the point of complete deterioration potentially.
The euro zone is expected by some to enter the second part of its double-dip recession this year. The "PIIGS," including: Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain continue to be causes for concern. (We will note that two of the Greece and Spain are already in recession at this time.)
[Related -Three Backward-Looking, Not-So-Predictive Valuations Are High]
Moreover, the European Central Bank's mass liquidity injection, aimed to boost markets, only serves as a short-term solution.
"The painful problem of deleveraging is going to continue… You cannot resolve the fundamental problems with liquidity," said the "permabear," another moniker the media has given the economist.
He added that the European Central Bank is about capped, "close to the limit" of available funds to help boost Euro-economies.
In sum, Roubini blames the euro zone for causing global volatility in the markets and suggests that growth measures should be focused on at this point in time as austerity alone will not solve the continent's woes
The next item on his list: the price of oil.
Recent concern over supply, despite Saudi Arabia's promises, the situation in the Middle East is becoming increasingly explosive.
"This tension is going to rise throughout the year," he warned. "…There are going to be more sanctions, negotiations are going to fail and it's not just the Israel-Iran Issue."
If oil prices continue to rise – currently only $20 from their peak in 2008 at $145 per barrel – Roubini believes recession followed by stag-deflation and then a combination of recession and deflation is likely.

Rekindling enthusiasm for bushfire preparation
Last year's savage fire season has rekindled local landholders' enthusiasm for fire.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Tony Johnstone is Queensland Fire and Rescue's area director of rural operations. He says now the weather is getting cooler and drier, it's the ideal time to prepare for the increased bushfire risk over winter.
"A lot of property owners are looking at what the fire season is going to bring, talking about doing early hazard reduction burns, putting in firebreaks now, and hoping we don't get a frost - if we do, it'll hay off really quickly.
"Because of last season, a lot of people are looking around their property to see what they can do early. People are planning controlled burns when it's nice and cool, Main Roads are looking at their corridors, a lot of landholders are looking at what they can do in the next couple of months.
"A lot of landholders can learn from last season, and being prepared is one of the big lessons. Making sure you have a plan of attack, doing your hazard reduction burns, knowing your neighbours and the landholders adjoining you."
As well as water tanks, hoses and maybe a backhoe for building firebreaks, one of the most important rural firefighting tools is a fire permit.
"Every fire greater than two metres in Queensland requires a permit," Inspector Johnstone explains. "They're administered by a volunteer network and really easy to get a hold of - go and see your local fire warden, talk about what you need to burn, fill out the application form and they issue you the permit on the spot.
"The permit is a legal responsibility. It sets out what you can and can't do, the requirements for observing the wind direction, and making sure you consult with your neighbours as well."
Since last year's fire season, we've had a wet summer and many paddocks are still lush and green. This can bring fire risks, especially as the long grass dies off with the cooler weather.
"Some graziers have a large body of feed now that we've had a decent rain period, so some are concerned about that and looking at strategies to reduce fuel.
"Maybe they need to burn outside their fenceline. That's where it comes into Main Roads' responsibility and council responsibility."
All fires are not created equal. Tony says a hot burn creates intense flames which can destroy trees and undergrowth, while a cool burn works its way slowly through the undergrowth consuming all the dry fuel in its path. Both have their place in land management.
"It depends how you're managing your property. Some need a hot burn, to control lantana or get rid of regrowth. Sometimes you need a cool burn to get rid of all the extra fuel, so when the rains come you get a good green pick coming through again.

The 1601E's effects section is built around a core of five effects (filter, delay, pan, cutter and flanger), but also has a set of 25 combo presets in five banks that allow DJs very easy access to a range of chained effects sounds. For example, one preset could include a combination of filter, flanger and delay effects. The effects can be individually assigned to each channel, and a bpm fx cross-fader allows the DJ to select the desired blend of effect and original sound with a wet/dry mix.
Two effect parameter controls provide a unique way of modulating key parameters of each effect currently selected, plus there are five selectable effects speeds from 1/4 to 2/1.
A separate three-band isolator allows DJs to choose which frequencies of the music will pass through the effects section (LF, MID or HF).
Urei's bpm analysis engine automatically synchronizes the effects to the track bpm making the effects easy to use and allowing the DJ to concentrate on the effects parameters in the mix. Tap mode allows the DJ to manually set the effects bpm by tapping it in, which is very useful on tracks with no detectable bpm, such as scratch records and acappella mixes.
All the standard features of the 1601 are retained, of course, including connectivity for six inputs, the Urei Exciter section, three-band isolator EQ, headphone EQ, adjustable channel fader curves, and both pro and standard output connectors.
For further details on the 1601 Series, including the new 1601E, visit Urei online at www.ureidj.com.

"in defence of the narrator"
It's been years since I listened to this, but recent criticisms of narrator Davidson in the $5.95 promotion of this version of Les Miserables prompt me to weigh in. Since this is an older recording, Davidson is reading in a more "classically" delivered style. I think it fits the text beautifully. Because the novel is a favourite, I also downloaded the equally wonderful - but later and different - George Guidall version. It's also excellent. So - if you're considering this because of the special price, listen to the sample and know that Davidson's style can "grow" on you, especially for 19th century text. One caveat: My download was in an earlier format - I do notice from the sample at least that the "enhanced" conversion of the files might accentuate the "breathing" sounds narrators make --all narrators breathe, so I think it's the production, not Davidson, that brings these sounds out. I like a classic British narrator for prose like this, so I like the late Mr Davidson - you may not.
Finally, if you are looking for a faster paced "Les Mis", there are other revisions of Hugo's novel that might appeal more. Audible is awesome for making the original of this novel available at so accessible a price. It's a different journey than the film (especially the Davidson narrated version) , but one worth making.
"Not cutesy-cozy, but not hard-boiled; a delight"
This second in a series is an excellent mystery, with storylines that hold up for all 13 hours, quirky and well drawn characters, great period setting, some humour. Main character – Breen – gets slightly darker through his experiences in novels 1 and 2: If the series continues for many instalments, he could became a Rebus!
To the squeamish (me): One corpse description near the beginning and one near the end are a little grisly (and as in the first novel, a small passage in the middle could bother sensitive animal lovers). Apart from that, no graphic violence but some good suspense. I work with technology all day, so I welcome older mysteries or period pieces that don't hang on digital devices. And my inner social history geek loves Shaw's '68-69 London. Of course the plot is good but secondary to the other elements and is as much about petty office politics and corruption as the BIG corruption described in the blurb -- more about how mundane compromises come in shades of grey.
Stewart's narration continues to be excellent EXCEPT that some of his women's voices are too shrill, almost Pythonoesque. As in the first novel, I found this jarring for the first few chapters but then either my ear adjusted or he found a rhythm.
I so wish there were a dozen in this series rather than two. I stumbled across the first as a Whispersync bargain – and thought I'd found more in Kindle, but it appears that the novel is published under different titles in the UK perhaps –so shop carefully.
I don't usually rate a detective novel 5 stars - but this deserves it as solid, smart entertainment that provokes a little though but no angst.
"Rebus really gels here"
If you are interested in Rebus but not attracted to the whole series, this might be your entry point.
I am rereading/listening to Rebus, in order this time since the unabridged audio of all is now available in my region. This seems to be the novel where Rebus becomes that character some of us love so much, fascist though he can be. Though I usually prefer lighter crime novels with justice for all, Rankin created my favourite detective of all time here.
Michael Page is NOT a favourite narrator of mine so I delayed listening to a couple of his Rankin novel narrations, but he's OK for Rebus - more restrained than in other novels, but he still goes too gruff to distinguish some male characters (less shrill for women than he can be). However, James MacPherson became the voice of Rebus to me, so I feel something missing with Page and others - if MacPherson versions are available to you, get them if you can understand a delightful Scots accent. But skip the abridgements, even with that narrator --they make little sense because too much plot and character is skipped (not to mention setting, a real star of the series' later novels).
"refreshing period Brit police procedural"
Not saccharine-cozy, certainly not hard-boiled, this includes a decent mystery with humour and nice late 60s period touch. What the author gets refreshingly right is that overused "younger eager investigator --- older senior officer" relationship. The Beatles background is just a small part of the period setting; more prominent are the changing gender roles, sexual mores (nothing explicit though), and race/ethnic group relations. And it was better written than most of its kind. The Whispersync price was a great bargain when I purchased. I hope there are more "Tozer and Breen" books on the way - I could have tried a series binge, based on this one.
""maybe war takes a holiday today""
This isn't too sentimental (nor too gruesome) and convincingly recreates the possible development of one possible truce situation in the 1914 trenches. It doesn't directly address any BIG questions, other than the very powerful one posed by the truces themselves. I liked that it highlighted the conditions in the trenches, again without being too gruesome for family listening. I'm so happy to see commemoration of the centenary of the Truce since so many battles are so well remembered.
"So glad I found this free story!"
I"ve had Hill's Serailler series in my wish list for years, but hesitated to hit "buy." This short is just OK; however, the listen tells me enough to know that I will enjoy a full length Hill listen-- a well-written modern take on a village cozy with police procedural added, somewhere between the depth of PD James and the lightness of Deborah Crombie. The excellent narration lives up to the positive reviews of Pacey as the voice of this series.
"Comfortable, well-crafted cozy"
American detective fiction tries to be too action packed or grisly for me, cozies tend to be too cute, and I usually skip anything containing the PI acronym-- but I'm very glad I took a chance on this. The Sam McCain series seems to be the same "weight" of a Charlotte MacLeod, with similar gentle humour, humanism and craftsmanship. McCain is a young small town PI/lawyer who sleeps with his cats since his romantic ideal eludes him; He confers with his Mom and Dad and gets sick if he drinks alcohol (but still it doesn't get too cute).
Gorman is I think an older author, and there is thread of respect for elders and veterans running throughout the three in the series that I've enjoyed so far. This is more "nostalgic" rather than historical fiction written with modern sensibility, but that made it a better comfort read, the kind of mystery that soothes a head cold and relieves tension from listening to too much about current affairs. I get the feeling that Gorman is capable of much heavier fiction, but he gifted the world with some needed diversion instead.
Pinchot's narration was perfect. I bought the book as a Kindle edition first, thinking it would be better as a speed read, but it was written and narrated so well that I recommend the audio (check whisper sync price).
"coming of rage Dickens burger flippers unite"
The "coming of age" descriptor put me off, but once I started this novel, my ears ate it up – It's like a young Scottish Colin Bateman all fired up. Not today's youth but those becoming political aware circa millennium are chronicled in this comedy of manners. It reminded me of why elder writers like William Boyd ought not try to re-create Bertie Wooster but instead let young writers write about fresher experience for Wodesonian humour. If you've ever marched against the Man (be it Vietnam, Cruise, Iraq or a 1% Logo) OR if you've ever wanted to understand those that have— try this.
warning: lovely working class Scots English narration (*listen to sample!) and MUCH chronological anarchy in the history this weaves
"well-executed, but why?"
This is very faithful to the original, and well recast in 21st century teen talk--- however, take the period out of Austen, and you have a light chic lit tale, too often told. I thought McDermid might bring out the darker satire of Northanger – my biggest concern before downloading was how would I react to McDermid's usual graphic violence in an Austen classic – no worry! This re-telling will not alarm the most squeamish. I kept waiting for some kind of twist, so I kept listening (well, there's one tiny cute twist, coming from McDermid). My time would have been better spent re-listening to Juliet Stephenson reading the original. Like an Oxford School paraphrasing of a Shakespeare play – why bother if you want more than the bare story, and if you just want the bare story, why go on (and on) about tweeting Twilight and other modern teen concerns? If the intent was to make the novel more accessible to younger audiences, I think that's a miss, too: the beauty of Austen is that she draws readers into more complex prose and period. Perhaps if the market weren't flooded with Austen spin-offs, this might have been a novelty at least.
P.S. The blurbs in the publisher's summary MUST be about other McDermid novels!
"good setting idea but novel didn't gel"
I thought Hardcastle might be a binge series for me, but I couldn't become engaged with this instalment. I like the early WWI English setting, I like the attempt at slice-of-working-class-life, and even the central mystery was OK - - but the recipe didn't cook for me. The author repeatedly tries to interpret FOR the reader very simple dialogue and actions--- without these interruptions and some extraneous and drawn out details of weeks spent travelling from Hardcastle's home station to the scene of crime area(s) and back, I might have found this a quietly satisfying whodunnit, albeit with thin characterization. I chose this instalment because it is the first in chronological order (rather than order written), and I'd expect the author to know his craft better. It's a series I want to like, but unless there are some good reader reviews for other novels, I won't be downloading more. The WWI setting earned it a third star from me.
"wince and learn"
The first half of #8 in this series felt very deja vu and second rate for a McDermid, but second half contained her usual engrossing storyline. However, for me, enduring the usual Mcdermid graphic, domestic-inspired violence wasn't worth the second-half story. If you're not planning on listening to all of the Tony Hill-Carol Jordan series, skip this one -- On the other hand, if you're going to read only one in the series and don't mind the graphic descriptions of brutally abused women, this might be THE one, as it could stand alone (despite its ties to The Retribution, #7). Also this one involves Paula MacIntyre more than most others, so it might be of interest to those who like her character. I winced at the violence, but I learned from McDermid's observations on human nature.
The usual ending that sees Tony and Carol's relationship heading around a new bend is marred by the omission of the "You have been listening to..." statement before the inclusion of a clever short story by McDermid - to me this is a three star novel with an extra star for the short story (once I figured out it wasn't the next chapter of the novel!). Narrator Doyle is excellent as usual.

This week in June is unique as there are two major events that are going on that will appeal to different parts of the Corvette Enthusiast spectrum.
The Bloomington Gold Corvette Show kicks of on June 14th and runs through the 17th at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, Illinois. Judging for the Survivor class begins at 1:00pm. On Friday, the show will be in full swing with Gold and Benchmark judging underway and of course our favorite event, the Gold Auction begins at 3:00pm. We will have our usual preview of significant or unique Corvettes that we feel are that will be the ones to watch as the week progresses.
To follow the events online, visit the Bloomington Gold website.
The second major event we are following this week is Corvette Racings defense of their 24 hours of LeMans crown. As you know, the first half of the ALMS season hasn't been all that exciting due to the lack of a competitor in the GT1 class. But all that changes in France as 15 cars are entered in the GT1 class. The team has one five LeMans championships in the last six years and this week the team may be facing their greatest challenge.
Qualifying for the 24 Hours of LeMans is Wednesday and Thursday. The Race kicks off for us in the United States on Saturday morning. As always, we will have updates following the progress of Team Corvette throughout the week.
I'd like to also thank Richard Prince of Richard Prince Photography for supplying us with several new photographs that will serve as our header this week. You can see more of Richard's work at www.rprincephoto.com.

Our brothers at the Corvette Blog informed us last week about the McMullen Collection and a 1953 Corvette that was being auctioned on Saturday. We got the news today that the Corvette, chassis number 157, sold for an astounding $440,000 which includes the 10% buyers commission.
The car was owned by John McMullen, a car dealer who owns a Pontiac GMC dealership in Troy, Michigan. McMullen, who is 79, had amassed a collection of 140 rare and valuable cars and decided that 73 of them must go. RM Auctions handled the gavel duty. Also included in the auction was a 1931 Duesenberg which sold for $1.35 million, a 1953 Buick Skylark and a 1953 Cadillac El Dorado which both sold for $450,000.
The 1953 Corvette Roadster was acquired 12 years ago following a fresh restoration and a Gold certificate from Bloomington. The selling price shatters the $125,000 – $175,000 estimate listed on the RM Auction's website and was much higher than the 1953 Corvette Roadster which sold at Barrett-Jackson in January for $298,350. It will be interesting to see if these prices will have any effect on the sales of two 1953 Corvette Roadsters at this weekend's Bloomington Gold Auction.

Probably the best part of this little remembered (or easily forgotten) B-list movie from 1999 that starred Ben Stiller was the custom stretch 1979 Corvette Limo that was the preferred ride for the movie's arch-villain Cassanova Frankenstein, played by Geoffrey Rush. The Corvette was purpose-built for the movie by Cinema Vehicle Services in North Hollywood, California. According to the eBay listing, the Corvette's frame was extended to over 23 feet in total length, and the limo interior was added to include 2 more opposing seats, bar, lights and rear t-tops. Capping off the build was a black and silver custom paint job which makes the car appear to be that of a 1978 Corvette Pace Car. Fans of the movie (there's got to be one or two of you guys out there that remember the Shoveler or that fork-throwing guy) remember that the Mystery Men beat the hell out of the car with their tools. But that was actually a second car that would split open for the interior shots as well as take the abuse of the Mystery Men.

There is a famous saying in Vettedom that goes "All Corvettes are Red". After seeing this 1967 Corvette Convertible, I understand why. As my '66 is black, I've never really took the statement to heart. But the statement isn't about the actual color of the car, its about personality, like saying Blondes have more fun. A red corvette says "Here I am!" and screams "watch me go!". A red Corvette tells the world that your ride is both fun, yet there is serious performance under the hood and all you need to do is stomp on the gas pedal to unleash it.VetteFinders.com

Company culture is solid and good work/life balance
Not technologically advanced (although trying). My computer ran extremely slow and it was running old Microsoft product versions. Also very minimal training was provided.
At the end of the summer, while they spoke to me many times about possible employment in the future, they never once contacted me about it after I left. A simple email explaining the 'No' would have been 1000% better than no communication at all. Very disappointed in the tactfulness of this lack of action.

The people are good to work withe and the benefits are great.Cons
The pay is low compared to other companies in the industry. You are promised the world as long as your numbers are good when you first start, but none of it ever happens. You can have the best numbers in the state (which I did at one time), but they will still not work with you on anything. Also seems that when you try to post out to another position in the company, it is harder if you are stellar at your current job. Turnover is extremely high because of the way that employees are taken advantage of.Advice to ManagementAdvice
In the call center, there are no breaks from the phone other than unit meetings, if these even happen at all. Half of the time it is too busy and they take them away. Also, call center employees do not feel like they are actually a part of the company. We are not allowed to go to any of the Town Hall Meetings because we have to stay on the phone. This makes you feel segregated from the rest of the company. I know that it is possible to ensure that other sites can pick up the slack during the short period of time so that employees can participate once in a while.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEO

Data & Reporting Changes for eProcurement Transactions
MyFD users who rely on the Transaction Summary Report reference fields, or Queries, to identify and report on eProcurement transactions will want to read more about upcoming eInvoicing changes.
Significant changes will be made to how eInvoices (for eProcurement transactions) are processed by the Purchasing (PAS) and Financial (FAS) systems. This change will result in the ability to better report data related to purchasing transactions. We want to make sure you are aware of these changes, in particular if you use data downloads, MyFD queries or extracts to produce your own financial reports or analysis.
Currently, eInvoices are processed using the FAStrans upload process and result in transactions being coded with a TC65. On November 1st, the eProcurement Team will implement a change which will allow all eInvoices to be processed as TC44s and passed through PAS for processing. Vendors who are not set up for eInvoicing will continue to have invoices processed as TC65s.
Users who rely on the Transaction Summary Report reference fields, or Queries, to identify and report on eProcurement transactions may need to modify their saved queries in MyFD in order for reporting of eProcurement transactions to be accurate beginning November 1, 2010.
Please review the information below to assist in how to modify saved queries to pull all data relating to eProcurement transactions and how to use the Transaction Summary Report to identify eInvoicing transactions.
To identify eInvoices, from eProcurement, by way of a MyFD Query:
NOTE: these are abbreviated steps designed for those who are very familiar with running queries. If you need help building a query, please sign up for on of our trainings or contact our customer support team at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Open a saved query, or build a new query using the Transaction Summary template
- Make sure you have a filter set to the following:
- Field: Transaction Code
- Operator: In val 1, val 2, val3
- Value: 44, 65
- After the query has been run, and results have been received, the data can be sorted in Excel. In Excel, you can arrange the eInvoicing transactions and group them together for easy reporting. These transactions will all begin with an EI prefix and be found in the Transaction Reference 1 field in your query results.
- To further refine your results adding an additional line of filtering criteria may be helpful if you only want to identify eInvoicing transactions.
- Field: Transaction Reference 1
- Operator: Like:*wildcarded
- Value: EI*
To identify eInvoices (TC44s) , from eProcurement, on the MyFD Transaction Summary Report:
- Left Reference Field: This field will contain the Ariba PO number. The reference number will be preceded with an EI.
- Right Reference Field: This filed will contain the Vendor Invoice number.
NOTE: Previously, the right reference field (2nd reference column) contained the "S" number (the Ariba requisition number). After November 1st the "S" number will no longer be processed with eInvoicing transactions and will only be available in the Ariba system.
- Transaction Detail Report (accessible from any single transaction): All four reference fields contained in FAS are available.
- Reference field 1: Ariba Order #
- Reference field 2: Short document sequence invoice number (eg: 99427080)
- Reference field 3: Vendor Invoice #
- Reference field 4: Long document sequence invoice number (eg: 99427080146)
To identify non e-Invoicing Transactions (TC65s), from eProcurement, on the MyFD Transaction Summary Report : (No change to current reporting)
- Left Reference Field: This field will contain the Ariba PO number. The reference number will be preceeded with an EP.
- Right Reference Field: This filed will contain the "S" number (the Ariba requisition number).
- Transaction Detail Report (accessible from any single transaction): All four reference fields contained in FAS are available.
- Reference field 1: Ariba Order #
- Reference field 2: Ariba Requisition # ("S" number)
- Reference field 3: Phone number
- Reference field 4: Currently blank

colors to paint low ceiling room walls, ceiling, and trim
I am putting a finished room in my basement and the ceiling height is about 6' 7", so its very low down there and I'm trying to figure out what colors to use on the walls and ceiling to make it look as big as possible. It feels very small because the ceiling is so low, even though the room is about 11' x 22' total size.
My main questions are:
1. I've heard you should paint the ceiling the same color as the walls to make it look taller (assuming you pick a very light wall color). Any truth to that? I thought white ceiling paint made a room look bigger.
2. Should I paint the doors and baseboard trim the same color as the walls too, just in semi-gloss finish?
The carpet is going to be a neutral, light brownish color.
Any advice from folks that have painted rooms with low ceilings and had success would be appreciated. Pictures too if you have some.
Well, I certainly qualify for the "Low Ceiling Club". Our kitchen ceiling is slightly under 7' high (or low, in this case). I painted our kitchen walls a deeper green and the ceiling is white. I don't necessarily ascribe to the theory that lighter colors make a small room appear larger, or that paining the ceiling the same color as the walls make a room look taller. Even though our kitchen ceiling is very low, noone has mentioned that to us in the entire time we've lived here ;o) The times we've pointed that fact out, the reactions have been one of surprise and the comments along the line of "Oh! I didn't notice". Which is good.
I absolutely believe that painting the trim the same color as the walls will help. I just did this with my living room and the effect is just great (sorry, no pics that show that very well). I bought a good quality scrubbable paint and didn't bother with semigloss except for the baseboards.
I find that painting trim in small rooms can make things look fussy, overly detailed and divided (kitchens notwithstanding - considering all the stuff found in kitchens, most of them look overly detailed, anyway).
You can also add to the size-illusion by using very simple window treatments, reducing clutter, using NO paperborders at the top of the walls, using verticals such as uplight floor lamps, and long-tall furniture that seem to stretch the room upward.
I painted a smaller room all in the same color including the ceiling. I had read somewhere that the more contrast you have in a room the smaller it will look. And indeed by painting the walls, trim, and ceiling the same color it almost feels like they disappear and do make the room feel bigger. I also used very simple window treatments and try to keep the room decluttered.
How you respond to color is TOTALLY PERSONAL. Some people find that the room seems bigger if they paint walls and ceiling the same color, while others (like me) feel boxed-in and claustrophobic. I prefer white ceilings, because they "lift the lid" on the box that is the room. (I have 7'6" ceilings in my current house, but I was just as adamant that the 9' ceilings in my previous house be white.) "Ceiling white" tends to be too stark and cold though, I prefer to use off-whites for warmth. I also don't personally find that rooms seem bigger if they're painted light colors or dark colors, maybe my brain doesn't "fool" very easily. Don't believe everything you read, try things out for yourself and see how your own brain works.
For MY taste, I strongly disagree with painting the trim the same color as the walls. To me it immediately "blands out" the room; unlike Chris I consider careful attention to detail a very important thing in a small space. I think trim makes a room look more finished (although that doesn't mean I like high contrast either, and the cold white-white many people use for trim is as bad as "ceiling white" IMO... ease off some, go for an off-white). I'm very conscious of trim after tearing out and replacing all the moldings in my master suite-lette, one of the best things we've done in this whole house. We hope to slowly extend it throughout the house. So I really notice trim these days.
My trim is painted white throughout the house....with the exception of my son's room. He decided to do it himself on a whim about a month after moving in. The room was baby blue with a hand painted sky on the ceiling which looked more like an angry galaxy. He couldn't stand it and used the buff color I had used for my living room walls. I was almost crazy watching him paint, he did it in 3 hours and covered everything including the baseboard,coving and ceiling in one color. Results really surprised me, it looks great and made the room feel larger, much more pulled together. Am not sure if I'd do this in any room, but for this one it worked out well.
All in the beholder, this sounds like a job you will have to play with. Buy some cheap oops paint or use something you have around and try an area. May be added work, but paint is easily changed and painting, as with interior design, is a personal decision.
While at Lowes for plumbing, I mentioned the return of blue/pink/yellow sinks/toilets which were on display. The two guys said "yeah, back to the 60s/70s". My kids (in their late 30s) were commenting on some green dishes bought to use for matching my kitchen paint picked out. They think these greens look exactly like the avacado they grew up with. My explanation that the greens are "herb" tones just brought a bunch of giggling. I love green and will still paint the kitchen an "herb" green. But admission that they have now tainted my seeing the different shades and in the back of my mind is avacado.
Thanks for all the responses. Great pictures, too. Very helpful.
One last follow-up question: What is the thinking on painting one wall a different color than the rest in a room?
If say I have a rectangular room (11' x 22') and I enter from one of the short ends, and I were to paint the wall at the opposite end a different color than the other 3 walls -- should I paint it a lighter or darker color than the other 3?
I agree that how one reacts to colors on ceilings and walls is a personal thing. I had all the ceilings and woodward throughout my entire house painted a rich ivory color semigloss - it adds a bit of sheen and light to my small space. This house does have simple crown moulding, which makes the ceilings look better in the contrasting ivory rather than same as the wall colors. I have had small rooms in houses with no moulding and they looked good with the ceilings same as the walls.
I personally cannot stand a room with one wall painted different, but there again it's a personal choice. The good thing is, it's only paint, so not a big commitment if you don't like it and want to change.
I started to read this post because I am upgrading a small/long guest room and think a brighter trim might look good despite the general consensus that it should be kept lighter.
I have a large living room too. It was all a neutral off white when I moved in- though it has a lot of windows also which would make a difference. I just finished repainting it three colours- colour matched by glidden paints. One wall is called 'Bold Sangria'- a dark fushcia, (and a wall on the shorter end), the far corner is slate green. and all the rest is called Barely Jade, which is really almost off white/grey. The effect is great. I was worried about three colours so sporadic- but it does tie together well. The room is very big with cathedral ceilings and a lava rock fireplace in the middle which breaks it up as well as the windows- but I think that the accent walls can work very well in the right setting- though it seems a bit out of fashion. The walls make the room feel a little more intimate (though the room is so expansive) and complements furniture/carpet.
You can always paint over it!.... but after so many coats of primer/colour/peeling latex paint... it is nice to get it right the first time- I don't want to do this again soon!
I agree that for low ceiling, the paint should be lighter than the paint on the wall. You can use white for rooms that are big but for rooms that are small, use light color as candy tuft or antique white.
For lights, use vertical lights such as floor lamp or kobe lighting. Do not use chandeliers, because they only emphasize low ceiling or you are able to bump on them.
Moreover, use curtains that hang from ceiling to floor.
I prefer that ceilings be anything other than white. Sometimes it's great if they are 2 values lighter or darker than the walls.
Light colors advance & dark colors recede. Therefore, a darker color ceiling will make the ceiling recede.
I prefer trim to be lighter than the walls...usually white or cream. It gives definition to the space, keeping it from feeling flat.
I am also not a fan of accent walls, but in a long narrow room, sometimes having those end walls 2 values darker than the main long walls will help to visually shorten the room.

My research examines the intersection of political communication, political behavior, and public opinion.
One focus of my work is on the intersection between digital media use and political consumption. For instance, a current project examines social media use as a conduit for boycotting and buycotting among the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Another project uses data analytics and machine learning tools to analyze Tweets associated with political consumption campaigns. I also study long-standing problems of how use of digital media influences political behavior more generally.

Webb can't size up with ECS in semifinals, 64-46
ECS takes advantage of turnovers
NASHVILLE — A lack of size and speed proved to be the undoing of the Webb School of Knoxville.
Evangelical Christian School had too much of both and rolled to a 64-46 victory over Webb on Friday in the boys' Division II-A state basketball semifinals at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena.
"Everybody looks at their size, but as difficult as that is, their guards can play, too," Webb coach Ricky Norris said.
"With their size and ability, it's very different if you're playing with a lead than if you're behind. When they got the lead, they did a great job of extending the lead. We never could take the lead."
Webb (29-8) fell in an early hole, trailing 9-2 midway through the first quarter, but rallied to within a 14-11 deficit by the end of the period. The Spartans kept pace and trailed 27-24 at halftime.
They kept the rally going and managed the game's only tie at 31-31 on a layup by Justin Jenkins with five minutes left in the third quarter.
"I was proud of the way we battled back," Norris said. "We were out of character early and never got in the flow of the game."
Then the bottom fell out.
ECS outscored Webb 7-0 over those next five minutes to lead 38-31, then outscored the Spartans 26-15 down the stretch.
"Our turnovers were our undoing. When we went on our run and tied the game, on our next possession we had a turnover and they scored off it. Then we took a couple of bad shots," said Webb's Justin Jenkins, who led all scorers with 19 points. He was a perfect 6-of-6 at the free-throw line and also had seven rebounds.
Senior Burton Sampson added 11 points.
"We came together and worked hard as a team all year," Sampson said. "We had a great season and it just didn't go our way today. We needed to win this one for our team, our school and it's not the way you want to go out, but it's just how it is."
ECS was led by Brent Rooker's 17 points and 8 rebounds, while Isaac James chipped in 13 points and 6-foot-10 Skal Labissiere added 12 points and five rebounds.
Labissiere also had five blocked shots, but Norris pointed to the 10 ECS steals and being outscored 17-2 off fast-break points as the most telling difference.

|Postal Map
Fengxian District (simplified Chinese: 奉贤区; traditional Chinese: 奉賢區; pinyin: Fèngxián Qū; Shanghainese: von ji chiu), formerly romanized as Fengsien, is a suburban district of Shanghai with a land area of 704.68 km2 (272.08 sq mi), a registered population (as of 2010) of 1,083,400, and 1.5 to 2 times more migrants. It is known for its relative rusticity, as well as its beaches and ocean resorts. Bihai Jinsha (碧海金沙, lit. "Blue Sea, Gold Beach") is a common place for Shanghainese to spend their weekend.
Nanqiao is a major town in Fengxian district, which recent development has more than doubled in size. Of particular interest is Guhua Park which contains the "Three Women Temple" or "Ancestral Hall" (三女祠, Sān Nǚ Cí). During the Zhou dynasty, the King of Wu's three daughters hanged themselves rather than be caught by the King of Yue's soldiers. The town is also a short taxi ride from Xinghai Beach and its resorts, also slated for development. Nanqiao has a 1000-bed medical center, the Fengxian District Central Hospital, which is an all-discipline tertiary hospital.[clarification needed]

A 28-year-old Milwaukee man who was arrested on charges of drunken driving had two small children in the backseat last week.
According to the Wauwatosa police report:
Dispatchers received a call about a man drinking and driving at Wauwatosa and Milwaukee avenues at 8:48 p.m. Wednesday.
Cold, half-finished cans of beer were found on the floor when the vehicle was pulled over.
The driver had a suspended driver's license and his blood-alcohol content was 0.16.
He said he was on his way to Froedtert Hospital to pick up the wife of his 22-year-old passenger. The passenger's children, a 4-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl, were in the backseat and had no child safety seats.

About Me
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
There was nothing wrong with it, rather just a little boring/plain. By the picture, it seemed as though there would at least be some figure to the blank. Almost all the Bubinga I've seen has some. I don't really recall, but I'm not sure how it was advertised...whether as figured or not, so I took it as a lesson to check next time. Also, I am assuming that the blank is NOT dried already. The ends are sealed, so this is most definately a turning block. Again, nothing wrong, just not special.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

RE: Rueben Headley gravesite
I'm not sure what you are asking for? Reuben already has a memorial created by Jennifer. She also had created memorials for Jacob and Margaret Headley but had them at the wrong cemetery. I did email her and she corrected and I added the photos. You could ask Jennifer to transfer the memorials to you if they are closely related. It is up to her whether she agrees to transfer them or not. Most people will if you are related. There is a lot to learn but just hang in there and you will get better. I'm still learning everyday too. Good luck! Barb

RE: Rueben Headley gravesite
You'll learn real fast. I have been a member for almost a year and I've learned a lot not just from my own trials and errors but from other members. Anyways you are welcome for the photo. I really enjoy going out to the cemeteries and trying to find the tombstones. It's like a jigsaw puzzle and you find a piece of that puzzle. Did you get my message that I have photos of Jacob and Margaret Headley. I did find them at Metz Cemetery in Steuben County, Richland Township. They are not at Circle Hill, Steuben County, Pleasant Township. Are you going to create memorials for them at Metz or do you want me to do that? Barb

RE: Thank you so much.
Alice, I'm not sure. Wellington is where I hit a wall in my research. I know that Cornelia and John Smith had a little money, or at least I think they did. I have numerous photos of my grandfather at their house, which was a large brick beautiful home. I also have several old, old, old photos of street scenes in what I think is Wellington. Some day I guess I'll have to drive down there and see who can help me. (Obviously, today isn't the day, is it?) Lisa

Thank you so much.
Dear Ms. Headley:
Thank you so very much for taking a photo of my great grandmother' and great-great grandparents' place of rest. Such a shame that there is no marker on their graves.
I have a lot of research on this side of the family to complete; it's hard with the name Smith. Maybe I need to travel to Wellington and start asking questions.
Again, thank you for taking the time out of the goodness of your heart.

Freedom in the World 2009: The Annual Survey of Political Rights & Civil Liberties
Arch Puddington, Aili Piano, Katrina Neubauer, Tyler Roylance
Rowman & Littlefield, Sep 30, 2009 - Political Science - 918 pages
Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 193 countries and a group of select territories are used by policy makers, the media, international corporations, and civic activists and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. Press accounts of the survey findings appear in hundreds of influential newspapers in the United States and abroad and form the basis of numerous radio and television reports. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

The Fine Fifteen: A Recap Of 15 Of The Biggest Games From Saturday
Catching You Up On All The Action
Well that was quite a fun day of action across the college basketball landscape and we really didn't have that many great match ups on paper. It was the first full weekend of conference play for almost everyone and already some projected bubble teams were fighting for their first signature wins. Duke, Michigan State and Notre Dame were among a few of the ranked teams that took care of business in the early games. Virginia Tech continues their steep decline as they were dominated by Maryland. There were also some extremely random matchups like Butler hosting New Orleans. UNO just turned D-1 a few short seasons ago. Do you really get anything from your program by playing that level of competition? I don't think so.
Overall, this season to me seems to be filled with a lot of mediocrity. Yes I said mediocrity not parity and there is a difference. A number of supposedly good teams are getting scares consistently against lesser competition. That shouldn't happen if you want to be cutting down the nets at the start of April. Also, the inability to put away teams is another red flag. When you are up 17 points early in the 2nd half, you should not even be threatened the rest of the way but that seems to be more and more routine. I suppose this will create some big drama come March Madness but it also will cheapen supposed "upsets". Hopefully conference season will bring out the best in everyone and truly show the complete teams this season.
Rutgers 67 - #24 Pittsburgh 62
I don't know what to think about Pittsburgh this year. Obviously, last year was an anomaly and Jaime Dixon is still one hell of a coach but where is this team going to get their points night in and night out? Trey Zeigler needs to show up. He dominated in the MAC but when you are a highly touted recruit this level of competition shouldn't matter. Tray Woodall can't be expected to shoulder the load and run the team. The Pittsburgh bigs are projects. Give Rutgers credit. They didn't start Eli Carter for breaking a team rule and still got off to a fast start.
#25 Kansas State 73 - #22 Oklahoma State 67
This was more of what I expected from Kansas State. They toughed it out in the 1st half and then Rodney McGruder took them the rest of the way. He was ridiculous in the 2nd half. If McGruder was "Batman", Nino Williams was "robin". He was cleaning up on the boards. Oklahoma State has got to get more consistency from LeBryan Nash. Attack the basket please! Stop settling for jumpers.
Marquette 49 - #15 Georgetown 48
This game was so ugly, it almost was fun to watch. It was 20-19 at half and that was thanks to a late run of buckets! I just can't take Georgetown seriously because they can't score. Markel Starks was great again and Otto Porter showed but will anyone else? This team has no depth. You can't play 7 guys and survive the season. Marquette needs to get Davonte Gardner more shots. He's a great screener but he's becoming dominate underneath.
Baylor 86 - Texas 79
Texas thought they wouldn't need Javan Felix this year because Myck Kabongo was coming back. Well we know how that's worked out and good for Felix. He was showing all the skills, chipping in 26 points and dishing out 9 assists. I'm concerned at how many easy buckets Texas gave up today. Baylor's most consistent player is Cory Jefferson and that showed again today. Get him the ball.
#11 Illinois 74 - #8 Ohio State 55
I don't trust either of these teams but goodness Illinois is going to be tough at home. From the start Nnanna Egwu was hitting jumpers and that was a sign of things to come. At least four Illini 3's went down at the end of the shot clock. When that happens, it's just your day. Deshaun Thomas needs to start becoming a complete player. He is a complete loaf on defense and settles for jumpers nonstop. Talk about frustrating.
Miami (FL) 62 - Georgia Tech 49
A really nice win for Miami. They are learning to win without Reggie Jackson who is out for 6 weeks and they still won the battle on the glass. Rion Brown came out of nowhere for 22 off the bench. Georgia Tech just can't score.
UCLA 68 - Stanford 60
I liked Stanford's gameplan. Despite the fact they have a roster filled with top 150 recruits they tried to "muck it up". The goal was to slow down UCLA and it worked for a while. The Bruins though have too much talent and Shabazz Muhammed finished down the stretch.
#12 Missouri 66 - Bucknell 64
Flip Pressey is starting to score. Watch out SEC. Laurence Bowers helped out, especially on the glass, but the torch is being passed. Bucknell hung around the entire game and if you haven't watched Mike Muscala play, do so. He's an absolute beast and the Bison are going to grab the Patriot title.
St. John's 53 - #14 Cincinnati 52
What an ugly, ugly basketball game. I can't take Cincy seriously when you lose a game like this at home, especially coming off a big win at Pitt. Cashmere Wright nearly rescued the Bearcats but then didn't get the final shot in regulation. Why? He's been money all year long.
#23 NC State 78 - Boston College 73
Someone tell C.J. Leslie the game started. He did not show up and it nearly cost NC State. They are going to be a fascinating watch all ACC season. It looks like they are just an uncomfortable group away from home. Scott Wood hit two threes late that rescue the Wolfpack. Boston College is pretty bad but boy Ryan Anderson is a treat to watch.
#3 Arizona 60 - Utah 57
I'm not taking Arizona seriously and this reinforces my point. Utah is one of the worst teams in all of FBS and they nearly took down the Wildcats. Mark Lyons was just awful and he can't be trusted to carry this team. They also get virtually nothing from their bigs. The three big wins Arizona has they've been outplayed. Buyer beware.
VCU 59 - Lehigh 55
VCU continues to prove they will make the tournament as an at-large team regardless of what happens this conference season. Sadly, the big news from this one is C.J. McCollum apparently broke his foot and will be out for 8 weeks. That basically kills Lehigh's chances to win the Patriot League.
#10 Gonzaga 81 - Santa Clara 74
I'm believing in you Gonzaga! They still can't stop anyone and don't get back in transition but Kelly Olynyk is the best big Mark Few has had. With Olynyk, Elias Harris on his wing and Sam Dower off the bench, this is the best big trio out west. Kevin Pangos needs to stay connected in the game though when he's not hitting threes.
DePaul 83 - Providence 73
It's been a difficult couple of years for DePaul but they deserve some real credit tonight. They went on the road in the Big East and got a win. Cleveland Melvin is one of the best players no one knows about. Providence is awful though. They lost to Brown on the road. Ed Cooley tries to bend the rules and is paying for it.
Washington 68 - Washington State 63
I don't think either of these squads will be in the NCAA's but this was fun. A rivalry game that was nearly over in the 1st half but give Washington State credit. The Huskies were paying so much attention to Brock Motum they gave up a lot of easy buckets. It doesn't look like Abdul Gaddy will ever reach his full potential.

After years of rock bands, composing music and writing screenplays, Arntson followed a girlfriend to Nashville to try their luck in that industry. It worked.
