Annoying newbie problem here. This variable
isPlayerTouchingAnotherPlayer is being set to true as soon as I touch the piece. I'm almost positive I know why but I can't find a way to display this in log to confirm. I could probably do it by setting different flag numbers for each of the objects but I was hoping there is another way.
The problem is that
piece is an object that is also located in
p1Array so as soon as I touch it it hits itself and
isPlayerTouchingAnotherPlayer is evaluated to true.
Is there a way I could print out the view or image name of the objects touching somehow to confirm this? And furthermore, is there a way to somehow avoid this annoying conflict.
for (int i = 0; i <[p1Array count]; i++) {
UIImageView *tempP1;
tempP1 =[p1Array objectAtIndex:i];
if (CGRectIntersectsRect(piece.frame, tempP1.frame)) {
NSLog(@"selected piece: %@, touched piece: %@ ", piece, tempP1);
isPlayerTouchingAnotherPlayer = TRUE;

The Out Door
Evolve From There
Recent innovations in drone-based music, plus interviews with The Fun Years, Ensemble Economique, and Julia Kent.
By Grayson Currin and Marc Masters , February 4, 2011
III. Ensemble Economique: Accidental Miracles
Psychical, the latest LP from Brian Pyle's solo project Ensemble Economique, sounds like a ritualistic séance, a tropical party, and a soundtrack to a 1960s head-trip movie. Each track centers on a bold, repetitive beat, swirled with bright synths and dramatic string waves. Like all of Pyle's work, it's well-crafted and wide-open. He continually finds a sweet spot between controlling his sound down to the detail and letting it run free.
It's a skill he's honed for over a decade with Starving Weirdos, his duo with Merrick McKinlay. The pair began in the small Northern California county of Humboldt, churning out late-night jams in the studios of the radio station where McKinlay is a DJ. This led to streams of releases on Root Strata, Weird Forest, Olde English Spelling Bee, and more. In between Weirdos activity, Pyle has made three Ensemble Economique LPs-- both Psychical (Not Not Fun) and the classically tinged Standing Still, Facing Forward (Amish) came out last year-- as well as maintaining the ambient-noise trio RV Paintings with his brother Jon.
We recently spoke to Pyle about making drumbeats with Linux software, sampling Jamaican tour guide videos, and searching for accidental miracles.
Exclusive premiere of the new Ensemble Economique single, "To Feel the Night as It Really Is":
Ensemble Economique: To Feel the Night as It Really Is
Pitchfork: What led you to start making solo music?
BP: Around 2007, Starving Weirdos weren't recording quite as much, so I just started four-tracking and built up a pretty decent collection of recordings. On a whim I sent some to Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis, and he said he'd love to release it. So that basically started this side path of solo recordings. That pattern has remained the same, where in between Weirdos sessions I work on solo stuff. I'm constantly working and tinkering-- right now I have 20 or 30 tracks that are half finished, and once I get 60-70 minutes worth of material, I'll start sequencing.
"Most art is that way... you're just working and working, and something catches your eye, and then the process starts for real."
Pitchfork: You worked on Standing Still, Facing Forward and Psychical at the same time-- did you think of them as separate releases from the start?
BP: Yeah, definitely. I sent Amish both of those in early forms, and Brian Gempp at Amish was a little more smitten with the more orchestral compositions on Standing Still. So I sent Psychical out to other people, and the most positive response came from Britt Brown at Not Not Fun. It seemed like a really good fit-- the stuff they put out has a weird kind of percussive bent, and Psychical kind of loosely fits in that category.
Pitchfork: You've said that most of the Psychical pieces started with a specific drumbeat. Had you done that before?
BP: No. It was completely accidental. I started making these visual patterns on this fantastic Linux-based drum machine called Hydrogen, just scattershot style. And I developed this technique for making drumbeats without using a sequencer, inputting the beat one by one. When I had maybe a dozen of those, it reminded me of Tom Zé, the way he incorporates interesting sounds into his drumbeats. But that wasn't the plan going into the album. Most art is that way I think-- you're just working and working, and something catches your eye, and then the process starts for real.
Pitchfork: Psychical has a cinematic feel-- was that something you were conscious of when making it?
BP: I wasn't thinking in terms of cinema specifically but in a way I am doing that perpetually. It's like a constant trip. I always strive to achieve a certain level of drama or spectacle. I found these Jamaican tour guide videos on YouTube-- that's where I got a lot of the samples. There's just something about the phrasing they would use. They're really trying to glamorize Jamaica and talk sort of exaggeratedly. So when I cut those samples up it did give me a certain feeling and image of a place. That influenced how I added synths and various concrete effects. It was trying to bring that place to life audio-wise, really.
Ensemble Economique: "Shacks Built From Plyboard" [Physical]:
Ensemble Economique: Shacks Built from Plyboard
Pitchfork: How does your process with Ensemble Economique compare to Starving Weirdos?
BP: It's similar, but it's different simply because I don't have Merrick as a soundboard. A lot of times the kernel of a Weirdo piece will come from recording, and then taking those recordings and shaping them, building off those ideas. With EE, it's way more stripped down. Maybe I'm taking one idea, like one drumbeat or one viola line, and working with that. But I do see the two processes starting to get closer to each other. Some of the techniques I'm learning with EE I can incorporate into Weirdos stuff, like using more sequenced drumbeats for example, or some more orchestral type sounds.
"It's weird that people might think of us in terms of that band name, though-- it seems so far from how we actually are. We're hardcore New Yorker readers and NPR listeners."
Pitchfork: How did you meet Merrick?
BP: He moved to Humboldt from L.A. a year before I got here. A mutual friend of ours asked if I wanted to drive with them to his radio show about an hour outside of town on a Monday at 1 a.m., and I was like, yeah! Merrick had one of those cars that he couldn't turn off to gas up, and he's such a herky-jerky driver. But I remember he put on a Papas Fritas track, and I liked that, and that started off a close friendship. Shortly after that we did loads of Weirdo jams there, and that helped develop our improvisation and interaction. We came up with the name Starving Weirdos because in Humboldt there's a lot of sort of dread-y hippie characters [laughs]. It's weird that people might think of us in terms of that band name, though-- it seems so far from how we actually are. We're hardcore New Yorker readers and NPR listeners.
Pitchfork: How is working with him different from your other collaborations?
BP: He lives really close, so we have a constant dialogue. We're always going back and forth and pushing our ideas on each other. It's way more hands-on and involved than any other collaboration. Only with Merrick would I have that really intensive collaboration. Otherwise I need a lot of breathing room and creative space in order to make things work. I can imagine lots of my collaborations would end friendships if they were as intensive as the one I have with Merrick.
Pitchfork: How do you balance improvisation and editing when you're making a song?
BP: I'll do a lot of improvised overdubs and isolate sections that are really working. And when I'm really hitting it, I'll duplicate that layer and bring it down and try to incorporate it into other parts of the jam and see how that sounds. I'm always looking to find what accidental miracles can happen. I love playing two completely separate jam sessions side by side and seeing if anything coincidentally interacts. The blind overdub is something the Weirdos have been doing for ten years now. We'll record on two tracks of a four track tape, and then not listen to them while we record similar themes and vibes on the next two tracks. And then mix the tracks down and see what happens.
"I can see how it fucks up musicians in cities, being around so many other musicians and so many other ideas. I think it makes artists a little bit more self-conscious which maybe isn't the best thing when you're trying just to be free."
Pitchfork: Is it a challenge in editing not to take the spontaneity away?
BP: Well... weed, man [laughs]. I mean it does help. You do need a fresh perspective, for sure. And I do go down rabbit holes that turn into dead ends where it's lost all of its juice. I think that happens a lot with musicians. When an artist is painting, I'm sure there are times when they're like, ok, I'm using way too much paint. The Weirdos have always loved pushing that as far as we could go. Obviously we love reverb. That actually came out of doing a series of sessions on racquetball courts on the Humboldt State campus. When I discovered plug-ins that could give me that kind of reverb, I was like, holy shit, it's on! [laughs]. But after years of doing that you realize you can't use reverb on every fucking thing!
Pitchfork: How do you name songs and albums?
BP: It's so scattershot. I'll do random Google searches of, like, ancient Sufi texts, and see if anything pops up here. Psychical came out of thin air-- I wasn't even sure if it was a word. So I did a quick Google and it came up, so I was like, all right! Merrick will always hit me with some super weird shit that way. We're doing an album with Bo'Weavil in March, and the album title is ridiculously long (Rolled in the Midst of Never-Ceasing Currents Flowing Without Rest Forever Onward). It's from some 5000-year-old text.
Starving Weirdos: "Flowing Without Rest, Forever Onward" from forthcoming LP [Bo'Weavil]:
Ensemble Economique: Flowing Without Rest, Forever Onward
Pitchfork: Do the titles make you think differently about the music?
BP: Yeah, definitely. I'm always listening for the flow of words and how things sound, how they make you feel when you read them. With Standing Still, Facing Forward, I just liked the feelings that phrase conjured for me. It's funny, I came up with that title, and I sent in the cover art, and only later did I realize that it's actually an image of a girl standing still and facing forward! [laughs] I guess that was meant to be. With the track "Angkor Wat, in the Mist", there was a fascinating National Geographic article on the Khmer kingdom, with these amazing pictures of Angkor Wat. So I had this idea of what it would be like for an ancient pilgrim first seeing Angkor Wat and getting blown away by it.
Pitchfork: How conscious are you of influences when you're making music?
BP: Honestly, hardly ever. When I first learned to play guitar, I didn't learn to play other people's songs, I just made up riffs. And that bled into my whole process and philosophy. I'm not one of those serious archivists who can retain a ton of songs. I've actually discovered lots of great bands via reviews of my albums. Like Taj Mahal Travellers, when people have referred to them in Weirdos reviews, or all those great John Carpenter records that people refer to about Psychical-- those are all things I hadn't heard before. So it's neat hearing them and thinking, yeah, I can see that.
Ensemble Economique: "With You, At Brandy Creek" from Standing Still, Facing Forward:
Ensemble Economique: With You, At Brandy Creek
Pitchfork: Reviews have also cited classical as an influence on Ensemble Economique-- is it?
BP: Oh yeah, big time. I'm in this habit now where I listen to "Democracy Now!" on college radio here from 9 to 10 a.m., and then from 10 am to noon classical is on. So it's my daily background noise. There's nothing better at creating a headspace than chamber music. "Angkor Wat, in the Mist" is a track where I was going for a classical vibe with brass instruments, to have that classical drama and blast that you get from the pit.
Pitchfork: Humboldt is a small town?
BP: Yeah, it's really isolated. It's encased with mountain ranges and right on the beach-- my backyard is sand dunes. It's probably one of the only places left in California where you can live on the beach and pay $500 per month rent. The epic coastline, the redwoods, seven different rivers-- it's a really beautiful place. Even on really rainy days, the sun will come out.
Pitchfork: What effect does living there have on your music?
BP: Well, the ability to not deal with the grind, the traffic, the sheer amount of humans. Being able to walk through nature, having that super-accessible and easy. It's so great. I'll spend two hours of hardcore intensive focus, and then I can just stop and go for a walk on the beach, and then get right back into it with like zero interruptions. I can see how it fucks up musicians in cities, being around so many other musicians and so many other ideas. I think it makes artists a little bit more self-conscious which maybe isn't the best thing when you're trying just to be free. But Standing Still, Facing Forward, I don't know if I would be able to do this in a city, feel so free to work on music like this. You can definitely get into hermit mode here and just bunker down. --Marc Masters

I love the look of this book cover. Reminiscent of a 1950's lunch counter in color, design, even the lettering! The cover designer for Istoria Books got this one right. Yay for simplicity! Yay for cool color schemes! Double thumbs up, guys (or gals as the case may be).
Wow! These ladies are really overachievers! Both stories earned solid A's. I gave The Very Old Man, By Jenny Milchman an A+. The story has an intense suspense level that's tough to build in a short. Ms. Milchman created the edge of your seat thriller, and it is perfect. I loved it. In fact, I wish I'd written it. Drat!
Escape From Southern Point, by Libby Sternberg also earned an A. A very solid, not even close to a B, A. This story is a sweet mystery. Humorous from the first word. Very entertaining. I loved it as well.
This book is one of the very best reads I've had the dubious honor to review in awhile. The package, from stem to stern, is perfect. Worth every penny (only 99 of them? I would consider paying more for this dynamic duo). An overall AWESOME read.
Congrats Istoria Books. Congrats Ms. Milchman & Ms. Sternberg. You have hit on a winning combination.

We did not eat dinner I the hotel but did have room service at around 11pm. The food was lovely.
We had breakfast, there was a large choice, all fresh and tasty.

Emergency preparedness class offered for churches
At the end of July, New England Pentecostal Ministries in Pelham will be expanding upon just what churches can provide their communities by hosting a free emergency preparedness training course for its clergy, parishioners and citizens.
The office of emergency management tries to involve the whole community when it comes to CERT, according to Martuscello.
"Nashua Office of Emergency Management has done other disaster preparedness courses for our faith-based organizations which have been a huge success," she said. "Many of the organizations have had their members come through our CERT course."
"The biggest benefit to taking the course is learning how you and your family can be prepared for the everyday emergency," said Martuscello. "We cover topics such has how to shut off your utilities, and everyone gets the opportunity to use a fire extinguisher. We teach people how to make and emergency kit and what you can do to help your neighbors."

-- MicroStrategy, a Global Leader in Mobile Software, Surveys 500 U.S. Organizations on Tablet Use
TYSONS CORNER, Virginia, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software, today announced the results of a recent survey of over 500 U.S. organizations* on the use of tablet computers to support sales activities across many industries.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121220/NE32662-INFO )
Results of the survey reveal that:
- Nearly one in two salespeople cite limited mobile access to key sales systems— i.e. Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Content Management, Order Management—as a challenge.
- C-level executives point to their respective salesforces' lack of understanding of customer needs as a major barrier to selling (75%), along with failure to keep product knowledge current (50%).
- The top five desired activities to perform on a mobile device include: create or update opportunities, view sales collateral, view CRM records, view sales analytics, and collaborate and share ideas with other sales team members.
- Most sales organizations (72%) grade themselves at a B-level or below on sales meeting quality. To see additional survey result detail, visit: http://www.microstrategy.com/download/files/mobile/MSESurveyResults.pdf.
MicroStrategy's Mobile Platform meets the needs identified by this survey and drives sales effectiveness.
"Mobile apps, built on MicroStrategy, put comprehensive, dynamic product information on tablets and into the hands of salespeople at the point of interaction with customers--improving the quality and effectiveness of the meeting," said Dan Kerzner, Senior Vice President, Mobile, MicroStrategy Incorporated. "Organizations can positively impact sales productivity by deploying apps on mobile devices that integrate key sales systems, allowing salespeople to perform selling tasks while out working in the field. Our recent survey points to the pressing need for mobile, especially tablet-based solutions for corporate sales forces worldwide."
The MicroStrategy Mobile App Platform In Use Around the World
- CEVA Sante Animale: Global veterinary pharmaceutical company CEVA Sante Animale built a sales enablement app that aggregates CRM, ERP and sales data, and makes that information available to one hundred sales reps both online and offline. According to Francois Tricot, CEVA Chief Information Officer, "The MicroStrategy sales app is very easy to use and provides our sales reps with immediate access to all the data they need to customize a conversation with a client -- even if they don't have network connectivity -- optimize their time, and make the sale. Sales reps don't like having to go back at the end of the day and update the CRM tool; they want a tool that helps them get their jobs done in real-time."
- MicroStrategy: MicroStrategy utilizes its Mobile App Platform to support its own field sales team as well as partner organizations around the world. According to Jack Madigan, MicroStrategy Vice President of Worldwide Sales Programs, "MicroStrategy has blurred the line between all the back-end systems that sales reps would typically have to access on a siloed basis. Instead, MicroStrategy presents the back-end information to them seamlessly, in one app on a mobile device. Mobile app adoption across our global salesforce has been phenomenal."
- Additional customers using the MicroStrategy Mobile Sales Effectiveness Apps to support their field sales teams, enhance customer engagement, and increase sales effectiveness include AutoTrader.com, Banco Espirito Santo, Lowe's Companies, MetLife, and Novartis Pharmaceuticals. These companies have chosen the MicroStrategy Mobile App platform because it is simple to use, intuitive, and requires little to no training.
On-Demand Webcast on Mobile Sales Effectiveness
In a recent webcast, MicroStrategy discussed detailed survey results as well as the types of MicroStrategy Mobile-built apps that customers across a variety of industries have deployed to support their field sales teams, enhance customer engagement, and increase sales effectiveness. The on-demand webcast and additional details on MicroStrategy Mobile Sales Effectiveness Apps are available at: www.microstrategy.com/mobile/sales-apps.

*This online survey is based on the responses of 500 U.S. organizations, predominately in sales (83%). Nearly 40 percent indicated their organization employed more than 25,000 people. The survey respondents represented a diverse group of industries, including pharmaceutical, healthcare, travel, manufacturing, technology, telecommunications, energy and utilities, consumer packaged goods, financial services, retail, and more.

|Boy, 6, plans for Martin Luther King Jr. Day march
|Written by Mark Lineberger
|Tuesday, 13 December 2011 00:00
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. holds a special place in the American historical consciousness. In the years since the civil rights leader was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968, people have found ways to honor his memory and his message, even if the dream he spoke of is still some ways off from being realized.
Towns have named streets and highways for him. King even recently had a new monument unveiled in his likeness in Washington, D.C.
Every January since 1986, a day is set aside as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Even though Arizona had its own issues with recognizing the day until into the 1990s, a local Camp Verde boy is doing his part to make Camp Verde the first municipality in the Verde Valley to hold a Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade down Main Street.
Chandler Plante, 6, is a bright young boy, not to mention a particularly sharp dresser for a first-grader.
For a year, Chandler has wanted to find some way to celebrate the holiday. This January, his plans will be realized with a march down Main Street.
"In other [cities] they do it," Chandler said. "But here they don't, and I'd like to get one going."
Chandler started out on his quest collecting signatures from town residents in support of a parade.
After collecting more than 60, Chandler went before the Camp Verde Town Council last month and presented the signatures, along with a poster he made about King to the town's elected leaders, asking for their permission to let the event take place.
"This is a young man who has some ambition," Mayor Bob Burnside said.
The council directed the town staff to help make the march a reality, making sure everything was done right and coordinated with the Camp Verde Marshal's Office.
"He came up with this on his own," said Robert Plante, Chandler's father. "He just feels that Camp Verde has a need to recognize the day."
Chandler, with the help of his family, is also trying to organize a service project to coincide with the day.
"We're going to try to pick up trash somewhere," said Jan Plante, Chandler's mother. "But the town is actually pretty clean."
Raking leaves up may be a viable alternative, but nothing has been yet set in stone.
The march isn't actually going to close the street; it will be conducted down the sidewalks from roughly the fork in Main Street down to the Calvary Chapel area.
The event will be held on Martin Luther King Jr. Day itself, Monday, Jan. 16, at noon.
Now Chandler just wants to get as many people in the community involved as possible.
Robert Plante said he and his son met with Camp Verde Unified School District Superintendent Dan Brown to try and get some support from the schools.
Plante said the teachers will be working an in-service day Jan. 16, but Brown said they would be free to go at the lunch hour to support Chandler's efforts to honor King.
Plante also said he's still looking for other organizations in the community to participate.
This isn't the first time Chandler has been actively involved in organizing a civic project. Early in the year, he made a large "Get Well Soon" card filled with as many signatures and notes as he could find and had it sent to U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords [D-District 8], who had been shot in the head near Tucson in January.
Instead of signatures, this time Chandler wants as many people who are able to come out to join him next month in honor of one of his heroes.

Fishing: State bass fishing tournament may occur in June
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
The following information was provided to me earlier this week as a result of a story I wrote concerning the Rockford Boylan Catholic High School and Rockford Lutheran High School bass fishing teams. Both are on standby awaiting their opportunity to win a state championship.
According to IHSA Associate Executive Director and Bass Fishing Administrator Kurt Gibson: "The IHSA is continuing to monitor water levels at Carlyle Lake and discussing the situation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Carlyle as well as City of Carlyle officials in attempts to find a date for rescheduling the event. At this point, it is still too early to know with certainty at what point the lake will recede enough to allow for a safe competition. However, the weekends of June 17-18 and June 24-25 are currently being targeted as potential state final dates.
"Recognizing that these weekends are in the summer and may not allow for some competing boats to participate, we are reaching out to the qualifying schools in an attempt to find out if either weekend would be more optimal in maximizing the number of competitors able to attend.
"We anticipate that we will announce the new state final date on or before June 3."
Both area teams qualified in April for a right to compete at the state tournament earlier this month. As a result of flooding conditions and high water levels at Carlyle Lake in southern Illinois, the tournament had to be postponed.
I will make every effort to update this story as information becomes available.

Rug too big??
I have fallen in love with this rug and think it would look perfect in my dining room:
Dining room seen here:
HOWEVER, the rug is 9'3" by 12'6" and the room is only 13 ft. by 15'8"
Is the rug too big? I suspect that it is because it will barely leave any floor space, but I think it would be so perfect in the room if it were just a little bit smaller :(
What do you think? Too big, keep looking?
About 1 to 1 1/2 foot around the edges is supposedly enough. http://www.overstock.com/guides/how-to-size-your-room-for-an-area-rug
Sit in one of the chairs and then push the chair back to get up. Measure the distance from the table to the back chair legs. You need a rug that is wide enough and long enough that the chair legs will stay on the rug even when pushed back. The most common mistake I see with dining room rugs is that they are too small and the chair legs catch on the edge of the rug.
I think the rug is a good size for a dining room rug.
The problem you may run into is the rug forming ridges because the rug won't be anchored like carpet. Normally it wouldn't make a difference but your's will have furniture on the edges and scooting chairs could cause the rug to give in certain places. Straightening it might be a hassle.
I love the blue in the rug, I can see why you like it!
Love your room and the rug! I think the size will be fine. Is your china cabinet built in? Have you accounted for it in your measurements?
porkandham the china cabinet is built in. I will have to remeasure to make sure it won't interfere or have the rug right up against it.
oakleyok if I choose this rug, there'd be quite a bit of space for the chairs to push back before they're right on the edge so it might be OK. We'll use a rug pad. We also likely won't use this room THAT much probably since we seem to congregate outside or in the breakfast nook more often than the DR...
Thanks for the things to consider. I have an 8x12 rug that is in the great room, I may move it in the DR and leave it for a day or two just to get a feel for how the size actually looks since I think that size is close enough to be a good representation...
Totally agree that the size is fine and most people choose rugs that are too small. I think it will look beautiful! I have never had a problem with an area rug bunching up unless it is a very thin rug. If that is the case, a pad should solve the problem. Can't wait to see it in your room!
It is not a thin rug, it is quite heavy.
I have now ordered it :) It should be delivered w/in the next few days and I will post updated pictures. Got to get some art on the wall in the DR too- maybe will hang up some pics before I post pictures again.
Thanks for the opinions and help!!
I love the rug! It'll look great in your room and it isn't too large at all. I agree, most dining room rugs are too small (including my own!). I love the built in cabinet, too. Did you paint it yourself? If so, do you happen to know the color blue it is? I'm looking for a blue to use on the inside of a china cabinet, and your color looks like one I ought to test. :) Thanks!
kimberlyrkb, the cabinet is not painted, it is a custom stain color and I did not do it myself... my cabinet makers came up with it after I gave them a tile to match. Sorry I can't be more help.
We do have a lot of blue in our house though and we went through a lot of colors to find our blues. Our favorites and the ones we used were SW Windy Blue, Sherwin Williams 7603 Poolhouse and Sherwin Williams 7601 Dockside Blue so if you're looking for suggestions, may want to check those out :)
Thanks :) I am glad that everyone convinced me it would work b/c I probably would have passed otherwise.
stinky-gardener the rug is actually from eBay. We got/get most of our oriental rugs on ebay mainly because I won't buy really expensive oriental rugs when I have dogs that seem to aim for the rug whenever they get upset tummies! The ones on ebay are reasonably priced and there's a few sellers that I really like who do hand-knotted rugs w/ high KPSI.
jamies I am a big fan of the layered look. I like mixing patterns and colors and styles and it also kind of happens accidentally because I just buy what I like.
Beagles- it looks amazing in your pretty room!
Tx2- can we see another pic? It's hard to tell...thanks!
Beagles- gorgeous and the perfect size.
Tx2nc- yes, way too small as I'm sure you know by now. You do have to be able to pull out the chairs and not have them off the rug or they will catch the rug as you pull them back up to the table when you sit down. I think I've read that you need 2 feet of rug behind each chair when the chair is pulled up to a sitting position at the table to be able to pull the chair out..
Thanks for your reply, Beagles! I think it's fantastic that you got it on E-bay! I'm so intimidated and confused by shopping there. I never caught on to that whole "bidding" business, and I don't use a credit card online, or have a paypal account, blah, blah, blah. It's all just beyond me. Anyway, if you got a great deal in addition to this beautiful rug, good for you, girl!
I bet your soon-to-be DH is very pleased too!
I'd be interested in that info too, Beagles. Who knows, maybe I'll become an eBay convert at some point! I'm sure a lot of people would like this info...(you should ask for a commision...you may be responsible for some rug sales in the near future!)
Beagles, I know you mentioned that you designed your house, or some of it, (which is newly built, yes?). Are you a designer by profession or an architect or an artist of some kind? (Those are my questions of the day for Beagles!)
Beagles - The rug looks great!
Tx2nc - Your rug is too small. As others have said, all four chair legs need to be on the rug when they're pulled out for sitting. You have pretty floors, so even if it's not in the budget to replace the rug, at least your dining room would look nice with no rug. Bare floors look better than a too small rug, IMHO.
tx2nc I love your blue walls! The rug is gorgeous but I agree w/ the others- too small.
cottonpenny the two most recent ones were dcrugs and greatfallsdecoratorc but there are actually others I like better that I got rugs from last year- I will have to go back to my old records and find them. If you look at DCrugs, don't be put off by the prices. The most recent one, I put in an OBO for 1/2 of what it was listed for and they accepted. Every oriental in my house came from eBay.
Regarding the chandelier dimensions- I don't know. I am away for the weekend but when I return tomorrow, I will get you the dimensions and details :)
stinky-gardener, I am not a designer or architect. I am a writer and work in search engine optimization. I just really love decorating and design stuff!
The house is new (well, we closed in April '12). There are pics of the rest of it here (http://stonepondhouse.blogspot.com) if anyone is interested and hasn't seen them :)
We started w/ a basic floor plan from the builder and I added the conservatory, dog room and sun room, moved a bunch of other rooms around, took out an inside study and completely changed the structure of the kitchen. I designed all the cabinets and picked all the finishes, etc. (I actually made Photoshop mock-ups of the kitchen and all bathrooms and we worked from there and had some truly amazing people that were able to do exactly what I asked! The kitchen especially I think turned out JUST like the photoshop:

Poll: Hillary's Attack Dog?
Poll: Hillary's Attack Dog?
With the primaries on both sides so cut-throat close, the slightest misstep threatens to knock candidates from one side of the razor's edge to the other. Though voters famously claim distaste for negative campaigning (and those who sling the mud) they can't help but remember the message.
Candidates naturally want the best of both worlds — they want to poke holes in their opponents' reputations, while seeming above the muck. Hillary has solved this problem lately by unleashing her husband, the only candidates' spouse who has the gravitas of having been there, and been gone long enough for nostalgia to set in. If he's shredding Obama, Hillary doesn't have to.
