WiseDecor Wall Art
Gifted by: WiseDecor
Reviewed by Melissa Conner, Editor of FaveCrafts.com
If your walls could talk, what would they say? Would they laugh at your "organized mess", share words of inspiration and encouragement, or maybe motivate, inspire, or push you to be creative? Now you can give your walls the power to speak with WiseDecor Wall Art. With hundreds of customizable sticker ideas and suggestions, WiseDecor is a wonderful way to decorate nearly every room in your home.
From your living room to your kitchen, your craft room to the garage, there's not a room that can't be impoved with the help of WiseDecor. You can add favorite quotes to your living room walls, lovely food-themed images to your kitchen, and even add some colorful characters to the walls of your kids's bedrooms or nurseries. These wall stickers are easy to apply and can be applied to your walls in a few simple steps.
I was so excited to hang my wall sticker on my wall. After browsing around wisedecor.com for a while, I came upon a quote I loved, "Sometimes your heart speaks best through your hands." As a creative mind, I know this phrase to be very true, and I felt like it would be the perfect decoration in my creative space.
Putting this sticker on the wall was way easier than I thought it would be. All I had to do was use a ruler to mark a guideline for hanging my sticker.
I lined up the lettering and taped it to the wall to hold the lettering steady as I began to apply it.
This is the cool part. Now I flipped the sticker up against the wall (the tape acts as like a hinge) and removed the backing from the sticker...then I let it fall back against the wall.
Using the squeegee that comes with the sticker, I rubbed the letting to secure it to the wall. It's important to work from the center out on both sides to remove any bubbles from the middle of the sticker.
Finally, I removed the transfer paper from the front of the sticker and, tah dah! I had my brand new wall decoration!
These WiseDecor wall stickers are perfect for those of us renting an apartment or a home or living in a dorm room. Although these stickers are not meant to be removed from the wall, removal is easy and it won't damage the wall at all, so even though you may not be able to paint the wall or hang photos, you can still decorate and accessorize your home with these lovely wall stickers from WiseDecor.

Titanic Thompson: The Man Who Bet on Everythingby Kevin Cook
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Born in a log cabin in the Ozarks, Alvin "Titanic" Thompson (1892-1974) traveled with his golf clubs, a .45 revolver, and a suitcase full of cash. He won and lost millions playing cards, dice, golf, pool, and dangerous games of his own invention. He killed five men and married five women, each one a teenager on her wedding day. He ruled New York's underground craps games in the 1920s and was Damon Runyon's model for slick-talking Sky Masterson. Dominating the links in the pre-PGA Tour years, Thompson may have been the greatest golfer of his time, teeing up with Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, and Ray Floyd. He also traded card tricks with Houdini, conned Al Capone, lost a million to Minnesota Fats and then teamed up with Fats and won it all back. A terrific read for anyone who has ever laid a bet, recaptures the colorful times of a singular figure: America's original road gambler.
"Cook (Tommy's Honor), a former Sports Illustrated editor, introduces his portrait of the larger-than-life 'Titanic' Thompson (1892 — 1974) as a self-made man from the Ozarks who loved games of chance and had a knack for winning incredible sums of money. In a lyrical account of the gambling legend who inspired Damon Runyon's character Sky Masterson (Guys and Dolls), Cook describes Thompson as a 'rogue wind that lifted girls' skirts and turned gamblers' pockets inside out.' Thompson possessed the steel nerves of a card shark, the bravado of an outlaw, and the staying power of a satyr, preferring his girls young and pretty. Rumor has it that he drove a swank Pierce-Arrow (driving from town to town to ply his hustling trade), carried a gun (he reportedly killed five men) and a suitcase full of cash, and rubbed elbows with Houdini, Capone, and gamblers Arnold 'the Brain' Rothstein and Nick the Greek. Thompson excelled at golf before PGA Tours began, competing with professional golfers Ben Hogan and Sam Snead. Cook's raucous narrative introduces readers to an eccentric, fascinating personality. 20 illus. (Nov.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
"Whether a colorful trickster or amoral predator, Thompson becomes an irresistible folk legend in Cook's capable hands." Kirkus Reviews
"Readers will revel in every rambunctious page about an outlaw spirit who lurked on the frontiers of society, sports, and fair play." Booklist
Book News Annotation:
The model for Sky Masterson in Damon Runyon's Guys and Dolls, Titanic Thompson was a consummate gambler, a man who'd bet on anything and everything and who never knowingly gave a sucker an even break. This book follows Thompson from his birth in a log cabin in the Ozarks through a long career that saw him marry five times, kill at least five people, and win (and lose) millions of dollars. Readers who are fond of games of chance will find this book especially interesting, but even those who dislike gambling will be fascinated by a life story that includes characters such as Houdini, Al Capone, golf legends Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, and legendary gambler Nick the Greek. Includes 16 pages of black-and-white photos. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Capturing the spirit of a freewheeling era, this rollicking biography brings to life the gambler-hero who inspired the musical Guys and Dolls.
About the Author
Kevin Cook's Tommy's Honor — a Sports Illustrated book of the year — won the USGA's Herbert Warren Wind Award in 2007. A former editor at Sports Illustrated, Cook has appeared on ESPN and CNN. He lives in New York City.

Prevent Pollution at First Flush What you can do: Fall is here, and that means the first major rainfalls of the season. Rain runoff brings with it pollution from cars, streets and curbs, and chemicals from lawns, pesticides and insecticides, which flow into the Bay untreated. This first, large accumulation of pollutants carried through storm drains is called "First Flush." There are simple things each of us can do to limit urban runoff to the Bay. Your Home Buy nontoxic cleaners and use sparingly. Properly store all toxic products. Take hazardous materials to a household hazardous waste facility. Clean up toxic spills. Recycle. Your Car Properly dispose of used motor oil and antifreeze. Have your car maintained regularly to check for leaks. Use public transportation. Take your car to a car wash rather than washing it at home. Your Lawn Do not use harmful herbicides or pesticides on your lawn or in your garden. Sweep up lawn clippings rather than hosing them down the gutter. Divert hoses and spouts to grass. Pick up animal waste and dispose of properly. supporting the bay blue Benefit a Great Success Thank you for making blue, Save live and silent auctions, fine wine and The Bay's annual fundraiser, a tre- food and beautiful views of the Bay at mendous success!

Ah I see. Looks like they did their graphic wrong.
I was searching to double-check the height and it was originally planned to be 1 mile tall but they had to scale back, so I guess the graphic was based on the original height.
Look at the graphic again. It clearly lists the Burj Khalifa as 512m.
GameboyRMH's statement is purely accurate. According to the "graphic", it is nearly twice as tall.
Of course, the next next to the graphic lists the Burj Khalifa as 828m, which is the correct value.
The whole article is badly written, IMO.
The causes of famine are politics first, logistics second, and lack of actual food last. It's been this way for a long time. If you have warlords refusing NGOs like UNICEF, then the problem isn't spending money on a building a thousand miles away. There is plenty of food to go around. The problem is getting it there.
Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?

- Yield: Makes about 3 dozen
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2004

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ

It's great, Susan, I put some sunflower seeds in also.

These cookies do not take 18 minutes to bake -- I think a maximum of 13 works just fine. Mine puffed up in the oven until around the 12 minute mark and then they collapsed. These are big, flat cookies that could benefit from some cinnamon and/or nutmeg. This is the only cookie recipe I've ever made that doesn't call for salt.
erikazeiglerhammond 29 Nov, 2008
Made these without wheat germ and with gluten free flour for my husband. I added a LOT more than the 1 1/2 cups of fun - white chocolate and butterscotch chips, coconut, craisins, and walnuts. I also added extra flour and extra oatmeal to counter the lack of wheat germ and the spread of the cookies. I refrigerated the dough for a couple of hours and formed little towers rather than balls, then cooked them for 11 minutes at 325. This seemed to do the trick. Good luck!
ashtang 14 Oct, 2008
I like oatmeal cookies that are fluffier (higher), but these did taste good. I think that you have to use a recipe with shortening in order to get the fluff, so these are probably healthier. Oatmeal cookies are a nutritious snack for kids when compared to other types of cookies. A dietician recommended them to me.

Flat cookies are usually the result of too much baking soda, overmixing, or using overly-soft butter. I made these cookies by adding 1/2 cup more flour, reducing the baking powder to 1/2 teaspoon, and omitting the wheat germ and baking soda. I baked the cookies as directed (18 minutes at 350), and they turned out well -- chewy in the center, crisp on the outside, and nice and puffy. Good luck!
rvg2000 17 Jun, 2008
I think the bake time is bit too much.. usually cookies are done around 12 min and more baking time makes it overly runchy and hard.Usage of lots of butter has made the cookie batter go flattened when baked..
Kelli_Robinson 25 Jan, 2008
Followed the recipe exactly but they were overly crunchy and super flat and enormous... any thoughts?

Mark Kozelek: "Adam Granofsky Blues"
It was inevitable: Mark Kozelek has responded to the War on Drugs frontman Adam Granofsky calling him a "douche," which was the most recent episode in a war of words that started when Kozelek called the War on Drugs' music "beer commercial lead-guitair shit" and sputtered into this whole big thing. In the latest chapter, Kozelek has recorded a song called "Adam Granofsky Blues", a spoken word piece over a laid-back, acoustic blues progression where Kozelek reads what Granofsky had to say about him and laughs at each line. Hear it above.

By Jenn Pelly on October 28, 2014 at 4:34 p.m. EDT
The War on Drugs are having the biggest year of their career so far with the release of this spring's Lost in the Dream. The band has also been subject to the curious venom of Mark Kozelek—also having a huge year with his Sun Kil Moon LP, Benji—but they've been quiet about it so far. Now, the War on Drugs' Adam Granofsky has finally shared some thoughts on the whole debacle in an interview with Songs for Whoever.

Sun Kil Moon: "War on Drugs: Suck My Cock"
Last week, Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek made a promise: That on October 6, at 9pm PST, he would release a song entitled "War on Drugs: Suck My Cock". Friends, that time has come. The seven-minute song has arrived, presumably at the precise moment when the War on Drugs hit the stage at the Fillmore in San Francisco. In addition to targeting the Philadelphia band, he talks about the Hopscotch performance where he called the crowd "fuckin' hillbillies".
Mark Kozelek Actually Wrote a Song Called "War on Drugs: Suck My Cock"

After seemingly joking that he'd written a song called "War On Drugs: Suck My Cock/Sun Kil Moon: Go Fuck Yourself", Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek has revealed he's most certainly serious. A note on the singer's website reads that "War On Drugs: Suck My Cock" will be streamed on Monday, October 6, at 9 p.m. PST. (We'll also have it as a free MP3 download on Pitchfork.)

Earlier this month, Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek told a "fucking hillbilly" audience in North Carolina to "shut the fuck up."

During Sun Kil Moon's set at the Ottawa Folk Festival earlier this month, Mark Kozelek didn't take too kindly to the sound bleed between his stage and the stage where the War on Drugs were simultaneously playing. "I hate that beer commercial lead-guitar shit," he said after being told where the noise was coming from. Then, he introduced his next song by saying, "This next song is called 'The War on Drugs Can Suck My Fucking Dick'."

Pendant Light for Sloped Ceiling
traciemarieFebruary 8, 2011
I'm trying to find a pendant light for the sloped ceiling in my foyer. I had two picked out, but the shop said they don't work for a sloped ceiling. Any idea how I can tell if one will be appropriate or not?
You need to know the angle of the slope. A lot of lights are adjustable for up to a certain angle (all of our fans and semi-flush lights in our new space are on angled ceilings). I went to a lighting store and asked what angle they could be adjusted to. It's not the easiest information to find so I'm not sure you'd find it at an online lighting store. It does limit your options but they're out there.

With the New Year coming, time for some serious soothsaying
Posted by
Staff Writer
Friday, December 27. 2013
Comments (0)
Good grief. I just took a peek at next week's calendar. It says 2014. That can't be correct. I'm still waiting for Y2K and for all our computers to crash. I must have overslept.
Time flies when you are having fun and never do I have more fun than on New Year's Eve at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill on St. Simons Island, featuring a group of friends better than I deserve and a heaping platter of corn-fried shrimp. I pray I never run short of either.
As always, I have great expectations for the New Year and I hope I am around to see what transpires over the months ahead. To paraphrase Mark Twain, many reports of my death in 2014 be greatly exaggerated.
I know you are eagerly awaiting my predictions for the New Year. I don't blame you. I'm pretty good at this soothsayer stuff. As you will recall, I'm the guy who said publicly that an obscure Republican state senator from Bonaire by the name of George E. Perdue, could not possibly defeat the powerful Democratic incumbent Roy Barnes in the 2002 gubernatorial elections. Not only am I good at seeing the future, I am also a great kidder. I was just pulling your leg. Of course, I knew all along that George E. was going to win.
But enough of my past successes; let's take a look at what I see happening in 2014. Note: Any reproduction or rebroadcast of these predictions without the expressed written consent of The National Soothsayer League is strictly prohibited — unless I happen to get one right.
First, I predict that President Obama will admit during his State of the Union speech that Obamacare stinks worse than an Alabama hog farm. He will say that like everybody else in Washington, he had no idea what was in the law but it doesn't matter, because in three years he will be out of office, richer than Croesus and won't need insurance anyway, so go eat cake.
I predict that the liberal weenie media will gush and say this is more proof the president is doing a bang-up job. They will then proceed to blame the whole healthcare fiasco on global warming and George Bush. Jimmy Carter will blame Israel.
Speaking of President Peanut, I think he is a slam dunk to be considered by historians as only the second-worst president in history. I predict this remark will get me a lot of angry mail from the usual revisionist apologists who will blame me for global warming and George Bush. I predict I will pace the floor at night worrying about what they think.
I predict our intrepid public servants in the General Assembly will pass a resolution in the upcoming session praising public school teachers and reminding them that their mother / sister / child / aunt / uncle / cousin was a school teacher. They will do this because it is an election year. Legislators love school teachers in an election year. It is the other years that are the problem.
I predict that when I write about how blessed we are to live in the Great State of Georgia with its beautiful mountains, silver-sanded beaches, rolling hills, pecan trees, barbecue, Augusta National and the greatest state song in the history of the world, "Georgia on my Mind," as sung by Ray Charles, of Albany, Georgia, the greatest singer in the history of the world, I will get a snarky response telling me that we are a bunch of backward rubes and the place isn't all that great. I predict the writer will be a transplant from a state where it snows 10 months a year and all their buildings are rusted and who wouldn't move back on a bet.
I predict that the sportswriters at the Atlanta newspaper who have their shorts in a wad over the Atlanta Braves leaving Malfunction Junction for Cobb County in 2017 will let everyone know that they are writing their screeds from the newspaper's offices in suburban Dunwoody, which is further away from downtown Atlanta than the Braves' proposed Cobb County location. If they don't tell you that, I predict I will.
OK, that's enough. Too much soothsaying gives me a headache and the heartbreak of psoriasis. I would suggest you clip and save this column and keep it handy for reference during the coming year. If not, please use it as a training aid for your new puppy — face up — with my compliments. Either way, Happy New Year.

It is in an area that recieves light all day from the north as well as wind and sun from the west. The south and east get dappled sun. It is necessary that it not draw bees or wasps. The winters here are often 20F at night and 60F during the day whereas the summers are 105F. I have some wisteria in pots that "could" go there, but they havent bloomed yet and I dont know if they draw bees/wasps. Currently there is no fence, trellis, etc. there... but it is a possibility to put them in. Thanks!
The wisteria is more likely to attract bees than the butterfly bush. I have 4 BB in my yard and have never seen bees or wasps around them. The flowers on BB are to small for bees to get at the nectar. The "flower" you see is made up of hundreds of small flowers. I would keep the BB unless there is another compelling reason to take them out. BB can be and should be trimmed back every year.
