Tidied in alfalfa pellets?
Just cleaned up a new area to plant. Wanting to grow wheat and peas as a green manure. The OM in this soil should be fine (will get a soil test before spring planting) but was wanting to disc in some alfalfa pellets to benefit from the growth stimulant. I've been told this will not help but was not given an explenation. Any thoughts?
Not sure exactly what your question is......are you questioning the info provided re: the alfalfa pellets? If so, I am not sure I agree with what you've been told. Alfalfa is a good source of organic nitrogen - applied now, it will continue to help nourish and establish any fall planted cover crops for several months still. It also contains a natural plant growth stimulator, triacontanol, which would also be beneficial.
If you wanted to do something similar in spring, also no good reason not to. And I doubt I would be very concerned about OM content next spring if you are intending on growing cover crops or green manure this winter :-) You should be well "covered" in that respect.

A great night with electricity, makes a difference, a DVD and super food. Floods in the MH this morning from somewhere, sorted now and no problem. Heading to Marbouie in the rain. A lovely drive along minor roads with evidence of coypu, boar and deer in the forests and by the road ...
Château de Chambord
... as a hunting lodge for Francis I and changed hands several times it seems because apparently it was somewhat challenging to live in – very cold in winter and heaps of mossies in summer! It was a very cold castle to walk around on a cold day.
House shopping
... Chambord and it is the most beautiful house I have ever seen we spend about two hours exploring all the rooms and reading about the castle I take hundreds of photos. Next we head to Ambroise it's such a pretty little town, we visit the house where De Vincci spent his last few years, it's very interesting I had no idea he was an inventor I assumed all he ...

See Chateau ... Stay Chateau
Left Nevers never to return ... Bought baguette & croissants on the way out then tried to get to a chateau. Mis-judged the distance to #1 by 100 km so went to #2 - Chateau de Cheveny. It is still owned by the family, but was opened to the public in 1922. Had lunch by the pond watching two white swans play. Then to Chambord, the King's hunting lodge commenced well prior to the French Revolution by Francis I, and finished 100 years later. ...

This deserves a full video, maybe the guys from team four star could do the vocals since they are pretty spot on, Mr pop could sing the hook since hes fat and pretty much black like the dude from the gangstas paradise video. Really good job on the lyrics, they match the original in pacing, sound and style while being completely relevant to vegeta at the same time.

Check these out, too...
Last season ended with revealing "A" (we still can't believe
it's Mona!), and left us with unanswered questions: If Mona isn't working
alone, then who is helping her? Is the body found Maya's?
The usual occurred in Rosewood during last night's season
premiere. The girls were still hiding secrets from each other, being questioned
by the police and receiving threatening texts from "A." There were some shockers, though. And we're
listing them right here. Could it be that season 3 might be the best season of PLL so far?
Who set up Emily?
Who is trying to frame Emily and the girls for stealing Alison's
body?! Phone calls from Unknown, breaking into Spencer's house to use her phone
and no evidence to who stole the body—sounds like a devilish "A"-like plan to
Who gave Aria the panic attack?
We don't blame Aria for freaking out. If we were trapped in a bathroom stall with
someone dressed in all black quietly roaming the bathroom, we'd have a panic
attack too! If Mona's locked up, who was it? Perhaps Mona's partner in crime?
What happened in that car?
Emily's memory is foggy, and "A" is taking advantage of it.
Seeing a blue car on her run jogs Emily's memory of the night of the
disappearance of Alison's body, right as she receives the text, "I bet you
remember me" from Unknown. What happened
in that car—we're dying to know!
Garrett knows who stole the body?!
While Garrett is escorted away by prison guards after pleading
to Spencer he's innocent, he screams to Spencer that he knows who stole the
body. Do you think he really knows? Is
he innocent? If he didn't kill Alison, then who did?
5. The
creepy motel & the pictures
After Spencer brings the girls to the motel room to find all of
"A's" things are missing, her car alarm goes off outside. The girls run outside
to find Spencer's car doors are wide open. And as they approach the car, they
see the seats and trunk are filled with photo evidence of the girls at the
scene of Alison's empty grave. It wouldn't be a PLL episode without all four
girls' cell phones ringing at the same time with a text from "A": "Mona played with dolls, I play with
body parts. Game on." ~A
Welcome back, PLL!
We're looking forward to a season filled with more secrets, more mysterious
texts, great fashion and, of course, gorgeous guys.

If you've got fast action in a scene, but you need to reveal more detail for dramatic effect, using time remapping to perform a speed ramp is a great technique. Transitioning from real-time or even faster than real-time to slow motion can produce truly dynamic results. In this segment, we take footage shot at 60 and 120 frames per second, and show you how to create simple speed ramps in Adobe Premiere Pro using the time remapping tool

Hi there, Romando! I'm interested in your plant markers, the labels I have are an odd shape, I think, and I can't use them with my Print Shop 20 program, so I don't know if you'll want them or not. They're white, size is 2 X 1 inches, let me know if you're interested in them and how many would be a good trade. There are 40 labels per sheet. Thanks! Your friend, Soycandle :)

I know it's been unusually cool in Central Ohio...
... but my WS California poppies are just starting to bloom this week! I mean, it's nice to see them and all, but they really were part of my blue-gold-orange spring color scheme, not the hot-pink/electric blue summer scheme!
Dang things are throwing off my exterior decorating....
Could you tell us what plants are in your electric blue range. I am always looking for true blue.
I'm slowly accumulating the blue plants, simply because they look so good with every other color.
The earliest and one of the best is "Georgia Blue" veronica
It makes a solid mat of blue in the spring, and will bloom again later in the summer if I prune it back hard. The foliage is low growing, smothers any weeds, and turns red in winter -- adding a little extra interest!
I like to tuck some blue pimpernel, Anagalis monelli in around everything. I think it's a lot like jello; there's always room for another plant.
I WS two packs of them this winter!
I've got a couple of my mothers deep blue spiderworts waiting to come up; along with Rhonda's electric pink they should light up any dark corner! I have some deep blue, no-name Siberian irises I'm nurturing along in the alleyway.
I'm not sure the monkshood I have qualifies as "electric", but it is an awfully pretty blue.
It's planted against a fence, surrounded by lilies of the valley and gives me a thrill every spring. Or... maybe that's just my heart racing...
I love the look of the classic English delphiniums, but they don't seem to do very well for me. But I recently discovered chinese delphiniums, and I'm totally in love. It's another plant that needs to be in a lot more places!
And last, but certainly not least --
Hardy plumbago, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides I really love this guy. It starts blooming mid July and keeps going till frost. And, once it gets cold, the foliage turns red. Tres cool, and sets the mood for my veronica the following spring!

Glitch It Up: Bent Festival 2011Posted on June 20, 2011
Electronics these days, I tell you — they're too complex or tiny to understand in any human way. So there's satisfaction in ripping a gadget open and hearing what the electrical componenets truly sound like. And when experiments turn to art, and the bleeps and static are music to the ear, this is what we call "circuit bending."
The annual Bent Festival, organized by The Tank in New York, brings together circuit bending artists from all over the world to present their creations. The festival has performances, screenings, workshops, and installations, and includes video, glitch art, and other related forms.
If you haven't seen inside an Asteroids arcade machine, it's a pretty involved series of circuits for a game that's 6 kb of programming, and another 2 kb for video and sound. It doesn't sound like there will be one of these at the festival, but Galen Richmond has an installation using microphones and wobblevision, which hacks black and white televisions to make them play oscilloscope — Prepared Televisions for Voice: Variations on the Wobblevision.
If that's your thing, and it's certainly ours, Bent can't be missed.
This year's festival will take place from June 23-25, at 319 Scholes in Brooklyn. Get full Bent Festival details and schedule here.

Roland Emmerich May Direct Asteroids MoviePosted on June 09, 2011
New York Magazine's Vulture site just got the scoop that Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 10,000 BC, 2012, Anonymous) has been offered director's spot on the upcoming Asteroids movie. This is the first major development news since it was first announced two years ago.
While Emmerich's films are hit-or-miss, we here at AtariAsteroids.net think he's a genius. No one does ridiculous scenarios and go-for-it blockbusters better. We'd hate for this film to be half-assed, and so far, things are looking good. IMDb has the release date down as 2014.
Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh + AsteroidsPosted on June 08, 2011
Mark Mothersbaugh, co-founder of Devo and frequent composer for Wes Anderson, cartoons, TV shows, and lots of video games, is pictured here with the Atari Asteroids machine at E3 Expo 2011.
He's also a Raymond Scott Archive Board Member, and owns a rare version of Scott's Electronium (1950s) — one of the most beautiful and awesome music sequencers you'll ever see. If you don't know who Raymond Scott is, look him up! It makes sense that Mothersbaugh was found hanging out by the Asteroids machine.
Holding up his new Atari shirt, Mothersbaugh said, "Atari is the best logo ever, better than the Playboy Bunny!"
Photo is from Atari's Facebook page.
[Update] – we just came across this picture of Mothersbaugh sitting at the Electronium in 1993 (read the full writeup at Synthtopia).
Atari in the WSJ, Plus: New Atari Controller?Posted on June 08, 2011
The Wall Street Journal today posted an article about Atari: "Atari Takes A Trip Back To The Future." It talks about the company's current strategy of developing some new PC-based games, while modernizing select older titles for social and mobile platforms. In fact, packaged-games have been cut in half over the past three years, while "the digital-games business now accounts for about 30% of Atari's overall revenue."
Atari probably isn't developing a new game console any time soon, but the article did mention that they're working with Discovery Bay Games to make an iPad joystick-arcade accessory. At time of writing, we can't find mention of this anywhere else online. It follows right on the heels of the iCade Arcade Cabinet, but with a smaller footprint and price tag ($30 to $70), and less retro design.
Read the first few paragraphs of the WSJ article here (or the whole thing if you subscribe). Watch a video interview with the author, Yukari Kane, here.
Techflash.com has given more details on the Atari iPad controller. It's due out in the fall, 2011. Full story here.
Atari to Give Away an Asteroids Machine at E3Posted on June 07, 2011
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) runs this week, from June 7-9, 2011, at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Atari just made the following announcement on their Facebook page:
Guess what! This week at E3 Expo 2011 we will be holding a contest to give away an Atari Classic Arcade Cabinet each day to the person with the highest score on the respective machine. (The games are: Asteroids, Centipede, and Missile Command). These babies are collector's items for sure so make sure you get your butts to the Atari booth at E3!
Sounds good!
At 4:00 pm PST on June 6, winner of the Asteroids Arcade Cabinet was announced: Josh Hollenbeck, with a score of 24,310.
Atari will be holding the contest for Missile Command on Wednesday, and Centipede on Thursday.

SXSW Panel: The Videogame CanonPosted on June 07, 2011
At South by Southwest this past March, six videogame journalists met to come up with a definitive list of games that represent gaming now — the "Criterion Collection" of gaming. They ask: "What videogames are canon? Are games old enough to have an essential group of titles worthy of the Library of Congress?" Despite Asteroids's historic popularity, we weren't sure if it would make that list; so we stopped by to find out what would.
The panelists were Chuck Osborn (Group Editor in Chief, Future US), Eric Bratcher (Editor in Chief, Future US), Evan Lahti (Senior Editor, Future US), Ryan McCaffrey (Senior Editor, Official XBox Magazine), Brett Elston (Executive Editor, GamesRadar.com), and Scott Butterworth (Assistant Editor, PlayStation the Official Magazine).
Each panelist made a 30-second pitch for their "best game," followed by some discussion, audience input, and then a vote. One big guideline for selection was: Rule out nostalgia. "If you're introducing someone to gaming, you might love Street Fighter 2, but would you suggest playing that one over Street Fighter 4?" On the other hand, to what degree should a game's influence and historical significance be considered, even if elements seem dated? This became a key point immediately.
Scott Butterworth started out by nominating the original God of War, for its influence of the interaction wtih 2-button combos, plus the blockbuster value. Others asked, why pick that over God of War 3, which is the culmination of the ideas in the series, with better production value etc. Which would you tell someone to play right now? It was voted down.
Next, Brett Elston picked Super Mario Brothers 3, as the baseline for video games. Mechanics are tighter than 1, and the idea of different worlds comes from this. Plus, this list would be incomplete without a Mario game. Accpted.
The discussion went on, with yeas and nays (Splinter Cell, Chaos 3: no; StarCraft II: yes; World of Warcraft: yes), and things were looking grim for Asteroids. Then, Eric Bratcher, who had really been pressing for relevance today in the selections, nominated Tetris (1984). You can understand it in 30 seconds, but can't master it in 30 years. It has been on more platforms and played by more people than any other game. Tetris recevied a unanimous yea. Asteroids it is not, but it's in the same family of simple geometry, simple gameplay, and a race to survive. We'll take it.
Here's the final list, in the order they were nominated:
– Super Mario Bros 3
– StarCraft II
– World of Warcraft
– Orange Box (Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, Team Fortress 2)
– Red Dead Redemption
– Street Fighter IV ("what a sequel ought to be")
– Minecraft
– Tetris
– BioShock
– Link to the Past

iCade Arcade Cabinet is HerePosted on June 01, 2011
The iCade Arcade Cabinet has shipped, and Engadget.com has the review. It pairs with your iPad 2 via bluetooth, and is designed to work with the Atari Classics app. Price: $100.
Atari Classics released for iPadPosted on April 07, 2011
Atari has just released Atari's Greatest Hits for Apple mobile devices, with 100 classic Atari games: 18 arcade and 92 Atari 2600. The basic app is free and includes Pong. Games can be purchased in packs of 3-4 for $0.99, (there are 25 total), or you can get all of them for $14.99. A few truly great hits are missing (Pac-Man, Space Invaders, although these aren't actually Atari games), but there are more than enough good ones that aren't as readily available elsewhere.
The "Asteroids Pack" includes Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Asteroids 2600, and Canyon Bomber (Bluetooth Multiplayer). In the iPad app, the arcade version offers three control options: Disc, Roller and Arcade, with the controls in the border around the video window.
In Disc mode, the device is held horizontally, with a left-thumb 360-degree disc area for direction and thrust, and right-thumb buttons for fire and hyperspace. Rotation is very responsive, but perhaps too responsive, and difficult to fine-tune without more practice.
Roller mode has a left-thumb vertical roller for rotation (up-down equals rotate left-right), and the right-thumb controls thrust, fire and hyperspace.
Arcade mode turns the iPad upright, with five buttons along the bottom in the standard arcade layout. It's good, although when playing with thumbs, we prefer the roller.
Supposedly this app has been developed along with ION, who will be releasing their bluetooth-connected iCADE iPad arcade cabinet in June. Currently, the Atari app can connect with other devices via bluetooth to play certain games head-to-head. With the iCADE, you place your iPad in the cabinet-looking holder and use the physical controls from there.
It goes without saying that the graphics can't be compared to a vector screen, but they're true to the original code with slight modifications. Specifically, when Asteroids is played on an LCD or CRT screen, the photon dot is almost too small to be seen. It glows brilliantly on a vector display, and the trace takes several seconds to disappear completely. But without creating some artificial effect, they've just increased the size of the dot so that it's visible, along with the thickness of several lines. This is also the case with the online classic version at the Atari website, but missing with other authentic versions of the game, including the computer-based MAME. Game play feels about right, although just a hair faster than at the arcade.
Speaking of other modern versions, Asteroids HD ($0.99) is an authentic replication of the game for iPad, with full-screen graphics and invisible control: slide your left thumb back and forth on the left side of the screen for rotation, tap on the right side of the screen to fire, and tap with two fingers to hyperspace. Works well. And while we haven't tried the iPhone version of the new Atari app — and it may be great — the screen is almost certainly too small for the detail of the original. A favored variation that retains the feeling of line-art simplicity but adapts it to the small screen, is Spheroids [we couldn't find a browser link for this game — this will link to iTunes].
Back in the new Atari app, Asteroids Deluxe, is similarly authentic, with the faint background image found in the arcade. The Atari 2600 version of Asteroids has the standard game console options on load, and decent play with a virtual joystick and fire button. The graphics flicker like it would on a TV.
The games also include a gallery of original package artwork and images, and all-in-all, it's a dollar well spent.
Arcade Cabinet for iPadPosted on April 04, 2011
It's been a year since ThinkGeek announced the iPad Arcade Cabinet – the iCADE — on April Fool's Day. Since then, they've partnered with ION, and the product has become real. It's a bluetooth controller and iPad stand in one, with arcade-style buttons and joystick. It's expected to be available in early June, 2011.
Pocket-lint.com has a list of other April Fool's pranks that came true.

Ignacio Uría Mendizábal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Ignacio Uria Mendizabal)
Ignacio Uría Mendizábal (4 January 1938 – 3 December 2008) was a Spanish Basque businessman and head of construction company, Altuna y Uría.[1]
Uría was shot dead on 3 December 2008 outside a restaurant.[2] The attack was blamed on ETA. He had received threats from ETA. Uría had been working on a high-speed train route between the Basque Country and Madrid. Eta has threatened several companies and their workers involved in the train project as it views such construction as an imposition on the Basque Country by the Spanish and French governments.

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexian Brothers Medical Center dedicated its long-awaited East Tower hospital addition on Thursday, May 21. The 200,000 square-foot, five-story, patient complex will convert the Elk Grove Village hospital to all private rooms, and will centralize all outpatient diagnostic services, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, ultrasound testing, non-invasive cardiology testing, and pre-surgical testing. The $120 million project took more than three years to complete and is the largest in the history of the Alexian Brothers Hospital Network, which operates four hospitals in Chicago's northwest suburbs.

This event is 21 and over
Shawn Brown + 9th Street
"This guy gives Rob Thomas a run for his money!"
Beloved by fans for his blue-eyed soul vocals, freewheeling melodies, and earthy charm, singer, songwriter, and musician Shawn Brown is ecstatic to be releasing his new EP Chasing Streetlights in the Summer of 2012. Following in the footsteps of his debut album, Just in Case, and several EPs, Shawn's new offering is a potent mix of upbeat, radio friendly fun and Shawn's soul-drenched voice. His sound has fueled comparisons to artists such as Marc Broussard, Gavin Degraw, and Jason Mraz. ("This guy gives Rob Thomas a run for his money!" Away Team. com.) Brown first received attention for his 2005 single 'Lucky Boy', which was featured in several television shows, as did his 2007 single 'The Risk'. He has toured both nationally and internationally in the past and after several years away from music writing for other artists – is back, armed with the best songs of his career.
Waves Of Sound is a San Francisco based band that plays funky instrumental groove music. Formed in 2012, Waves Of Sound is composed of highly talented musicians with a magnetic chemistry, and a sound that makes any show an instant dance party. With an infinite amount of fresh musical ideas, the group plays a unique blend of original music, combining influences of Funk, Blues, Rock, World, and Ambient sounds. Our goal is to play music that engages our listeners and makes them dance. Come party with us!
THE NEW ELECTRIC SOUND is a five-piece surf-pop-rock band that fuses simple, time-tested, '50s-era rock 'n' roll with current indie-pop styles, delivering something palpably and adamantly original, with a sweet sugar coating of nostalgic goodness. Young, handsome, and heavily cardiganed, The New Electric Sound reminds us that songs of love, innocence, and heartbreak are just as cool today as they've always been. Like Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees, with whom they have shared the stage, The New Electric Sound hails the stage, The New Electric Sound hails from the rapidly rising indie music scene of Provo, Utah. The band formed and began touring in late 2011, rapidly gaining notoriety as one of the most prominent bands in the Rocky Mountain region.
They released their self-titled debut album in August of 2012. In the same month, the band took first place in Provo's Rock the River contest. The critically acclaimed music video Heartbeat was awarded Best Cinematography at Filmed in Utah and was nominated for best music video at the International Film Festival Manhattan.

Looking for 'Selma Zebra'
I've been searching for this heirloom pole bean without much success, is anyone growing or have 'Selma Zebra' THIS side of the pond? Any help finding this bean would be very much appreciated.
Just curiosity, but are you looking for the original Selma Zebra that Park Seed sold 30 to 40 years ago? I remember it being described as one of a pair of beans with similar heritage. The beans were about 5 to 6 inches long, somewhat heat and nematode tolerant, and fairly productive.
Dar, the one I'm looking for Thompson & Morgan U.K. has listed after a 30 year absence, they don't send to Canada.
I read somewhere :) this one is originally from Switzerland. Seeds of Diversity have it on their endangered list and very hard to find.
You did read about Switzerland, but it is actually a Parks intro that made its way over to Switzerland. If you read through the link from the Bean forum, you'll see the info.
Hopefully someone from the UK sees this and will buy a pack to send you. Did you post this over on the Bean forum too?
Here is a link that might be useful: Discussion with Selma Zebra History in it.
Remy, thanks that is probably where I got the idea it was from Switzerland, I also read somewhere it grows to 8" in length. I'll keep putting feelers out, see if I can snag some.
The Comtesse de Chambord I had such a hard time finding is now available from a couple of places in Canada, this one just about slipped away. I plan on growing it again next year, I spread most of what I had around so need to replenish my stash :).
ocalagirls, yes I found it and I'm growing a few this year. Whether it's the same as Zelma Zesta/ Selma Zesta? sold by Parks Seed in the 60s I don't know. I also have Zelma Zesta, I hope to grow both of these next year and compare.
Selma Zebra is being sold by Thompson & Morgan in the UK this year after a 30 year absence, it's sister seedling Selma Star is said to be extinct although I did see it listed on a website in Europe. Here's a picture of Selma Zebra taken this year.

Thanks to Rialto Entertainment, Moviehole has 10 double in-season passes to see Werner Herzog's "Cave of Forgottem Dreams" (at cinemas from October 13).
Following his previous documentary ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD, iconic director Werner Herzog once again takes us deep behind the frontier of an extraordinary place. Having gained unprecedented access through the tightest of restrictions and overcome considerable technical challenges, he has captured on film, with specially designed 3D cameras, the interior of the Chauvet Cave in southern France.
This is where the world's oldest cave paintings – hundreds in number – were discovered in 1994. In the mesmerising CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS, he reveals to us a breathtaking subterranean world and leads us to the 32,000-year-old artworks. In that deeply moving moment of encounter, we come face to face with pristine and astonishingly realistic drawings of horses, cattle and lions, which for the briefest second come alive in the torchlight.
In true Herzogian fashion, his hypnotically engaging narration weaves in wider metaphysical contemplations as we learn more about the Paleolithic art and its creators. Through his understated and gently humorous voiceover, we are invited to reflect on our primal desire to communicate and represent the world around us, evolution and our place within it, and ultimately what it means to be human.
How to Win : Tell us who is distributing "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" in Australia?

To Paint, or not paint?
The Divine Living SpaceSeptember 6, 2012
We just bought this house and EVERYTHING (floors, cabinets, doors, windows, trim, AND this big fireplace) is ALL this same color wood!!! Blah! I want to paint this fireplace, but it has to be classy... Thoughts anyone? Paint, not paint?... Color? We have a beautiful view of Lake Superior and the feel is very light and airy with tons of natural light! Thanks in advance
I think painting the fireplace would be ok. It looks like a piece of oak plywood covered with some oak 1 x 2's. For paint colors, if you want to keep it light and in line with the lake I would choose a very pale blue, or even a blue/green, something like an aquamarine. I would say floors and window trim, leave as is; cabinets and doors I'd like to see a picture before commenting.
Is it standing against a window with a view or is that a mural behind it? More pics please. When you ask for advice on Houzz, you'll get a ton of it, to use now or later, but more pics = better advice and an overall plan to work with.
The Divine Living Space
Here is one more picture of the adjacent wall. Planning on painting, and changing the light fixture (2 centered over the table). We just moved, so everything is just plopped down. Nothing permanent except dining table. I just wanted you to get a "feel" of the space. Too much wood the same color, lots of natural light =)
Carolyn Albert-Kincl, ASID
If you like the wood on the cabinets (I can't determine much about it from the small photo), then I would keep it as is and plan on painting all the trim in the house white. Wall color would depend somewhat on your furnishings. I would remove the raised paneling from your fireplace and clad it in a stone tile such as is shown below. You could use the same stone tile on the back of the kitchen cabinet that faces out.
Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC.
I like your idea of painting the fireplace. Pick a fun color that works with your palette. Look to rugs, pillows, and curtains to create a palette. Try Semi-gloss for a fun punch of color. Hope that helps.

How about this solution? Leave the woodwork natural and paint the walls and the fireplace the same color, any color of your choice. A paint color that look good with natural wood is BM November Rain and obviously this soft green in the picture.

Fall Pinterest Challenge: 38 Homemade Christmas Ornaments
It's Wednesday the 2nd… so it's time to share this season's (completely unofficial) Pinterest Challenge (not sponsored by Pinterest or anyone else, just dreamed up by Katie to make us stop pinning and start doing).
I actually tackled ornaments (since the winter edition of our little Pinterest Challenge won't be until January), which I mentioned last Wednesday when Katie, Ana, Erin and I issued our little get-off-our-bums-and-make-something challenge.
I know, I know – it's not even Thanksgiving yet. I'm one of those one-holiday-at-a-time peeps too. But it was actually oddly satisfying to feel so "prepared" for the upcoming holiday season. And I'm kind of in love with all the happy little ornaments I squeezed out. I actually ended up making 38 DIY ornaments! Here are just a few of the things that inspired them (all found thanks to Pinterest, but originally from here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here):
As are the rules, I took inspiration (or Pintspiration, har-har) from the above projects and then I did my own spin. Which added up to those 38 aforementioned ornaments that I whipped up. My method? Good ol' trial and error. I just played around and made stuff up as I went along. Here's what I ended up with:
- 12 faux ceramic animal ornaments (inspired by the A stuff above)
- 18 colorful swirl glass bulb ornaments (inspired by the B stuff above)
- 3 patterned ceramic ornaments (inspired by the C stuff above)
- 4 faux antler ornaments (inspired by the D stuff above)
- 1 skeleton key ornament (inspired by the E stuff above)
Here they are now:
And here's how I made each type:
- Purchased a pack of small plastic zoo animals from Michael's for $4 (with coupon)
- Primed them all with white spray primer
- Use small drill bit to start a hole to screw small ring hooks into the top of each one so they could be hung
- Painted 4 of them white, 4 of them lime green, and 4 of them navy (w/ acrylic craft paint from Michael's)
- Added colorful string (the kind used for friendship bracelets from Michael's) for hanging
- Purchased three six packs of glass ornaments (in small and large sizes) from Michael's for $9 total (with coupons)
- Removed the ornament cap and poured a decent amount of 99 cent craft paint in one of three colors into the ornament (exact colors I used: "Limeade" by Apple Barrel, "Metallic Emerald Green" by Folk Art, and "Magenta" by Folk Art Shiny)
- Slowly swirled the ornament around to spread the paint and create a nice "spun" effect (I aimed to cover 50% of the glass with paint for a not-too-much-and-not-too-little effect). Here's a video to show you just how easy these babies really are:
- Allowed each ornament to dry overnight
- Reattached the ornament caps in the morning after the craft paint dried
- Added colorful string (the same kind used for friendship bracelets from Michael's) for hanging
- Purchased three ceramic ornaments from Michael's (for $5 total with coupons) along with three Sharpie markers in navy, magenta, and plum (also from Michael's for another $5 with coupons)
- Drew magenta and plum chevrons on one ornament, hot pink continents on another (for a modern globe effect), and nested starbursts on the third ornament (in navy, plum, and magenta)
- Switched out the stock red ribbon for colorful string (yup, the friendship bracelet stuff from Michael's)
- Oh and I'm planning to paint the gold cap of the globe ornament someday (white or orange or navy or pink… not sure yet)
- Purchased one square of Premo Sculpey clay in lime green from Michael's for $2
- Sculpted two small shield shapes and two larger ones
- Used a needle to create two holes for hanging and a stick to create two indents where each stick antler would be glued
- Baked according to the Sculpey directions to permanently harden them
- Used crazy glue and sticks from the front yard to create faux antler trophy
- Added colorful string for hanging (more of that friendship bracelet stuff from Michael's)
- Grabbed rusty old skeleton key (a sweet gift from a friend)
- Used spray primer and white craft paint leftover from faux ceramic animals to paint it white
- Added the friendship bracelet string for hanging
As for where I'll display the not-so-Clara-friendly ornaments (well, they're all super friendly for looking, especially all the zoo animals – just not so friendly for touching when it comes to the glass and ceramic ones), I've always loved the idea of a half-height tree on a round pedestal table like this – so we might get a real tree for that (and plant it in the backyard when the holidays are over). But on to the money stuff – here's the budget breakdown:
- $4 for plastic zoo animals (from Michael's)
- $2 for ring hooks for animals (from Lowe's)
- $3 for spray primer for animals (from Lowe's)
- $3 for acrylic paint in navy, white, and lime (from Michael's)
- $2 for friendship bracelet string for hanging (from Michael's)
- $9 for 18 clear glass ornaments (from Michael's)
- $2 for magenta & teal acrylic paint (reused lime paint from animals)
- $2 for Primo Sculpey clay for faux antlers (from Michael's)
- Total: $27 (so each of the 38 ornaments was 71 cents on average)
Oh and don't forget to check in on Katie, Ana, and Erin to see what amaaaaazing projects they whipped up (they'll be sharing theirs sometime today as well)!
And now here's the part where we invite you to share all of the fun Pinterest Challenge projects that you guys have tackled in the last week (right along with us, well at least virtually with us). If you've already blogged about it, just:
- click on the blue "Add Your Link" button with the odd cartoon head at the bottom of this post (you might have to do some scrolling, depending how many projects are added)
- add a link to your specific blog post about your project in the url field (not your home page)
- where it says "name" write a descriptive name for your project (ex: "38 DIY Ornaments") as opposed to your actual name
- we'd also love if you could quickly link back over to our project posts within your own (here's Katie's, Ana's, Erin's, and ours) – it's also nice to link to your inspiration project on Pinterest as well as to directly link to the original project/site, just so they get some love too.
And if you'd rather just link over to your project in the comment section, feel free to do that – or even add a link to a free photo sharing site like Flickr with your pics if you don't have a blog (remember to set the gallery to public so we can all see it). We can't wait to see what you've been up to! Geeked out doesn't even begin to describe it.

Those ornaments are amazing!
Looks great, Sherry! My fall Pinterest projects are:
Oh my gosh your ornaments are so cute!!! You are so crafty and clever. Thanks so much for having this party and allowing all of us to be a part of your crazy awesome blog.
Allison @ House of Hepworths
Here's mine! http://annabelvita.com/vintage-labels-on-yo-fancy-modern-goods-in-yo
I was planning to do Christmas decorations in the winter pinterest challenge but I guess that will be after christmas. Oh well, I'll just have to do it without a challenge…
ps. sorry I suck at that linky thing… thought I'd get to add the description on the next page but instead it just showed up with my name! oh well…. next time.
Your ornaments turned out so nice! Great interpretations!
I LOVE Sculpey clay! I always used it as a kid and I've been looking for an excuse to play with it as an adult. Thank you :)
Excuse me wife, I bought you a big tub of clay in college and you never used it!
Haha Mike! Best reply ever!!
Hahaha I'm so happy I checked this again. That was Crayola Model Magic, not the fun stuff you put in the oven. But you're right, I don't deserve any more clay :(
Yay! So glad the challenge is back! I can't wait to see all the awesome projects! Thanks for doing this again!
Thank you so much for hosting, John and Sherry. This is my first time joining the Pinterest Challenge. I put my own spin on a recipe this time, but I hope you guys do this again because there are all sorts of Pins I'd like to work on. I just need the motivation. ;) I love the ornaments you made…the navy, plum, and magenta ones are my fave. Have a great day!
I am so very, very sad. I really wanted to do this, and then the storm hit and threw off all my plans. Giant sad face.
Can I still pin it tomorrow? Or no…
LOVE your ornaments by the way!!!!
I will be able to link up tonight!!! No extension needed, after all. :)
The animal ornaments are so stinking cute! Can't wait to see our tree up! And thank you for this fun link up!
whoops, I meant "your" tree!
I think these are super cool! And they don't look like they took/take a lot of time, either. I'd guessed that the craft paint swirl was how you'd done some of those — hee, I've clearly been reading too many blogs!
I am totally a sucker for skeleton keys, so I think that's my favorite, but all of these look great! :D
The keys are SO my fave ;) Have you seen the little ceramic animals on top of mason jars spray painted orange and pink and such?? love!
The swirl ornaments may be my fav!!!! =) They're all so fun and the colors make me swoon, I love an unconventional holiday palate to spice things up a bit! Well done loves!
Jenn @ Peas and Crayons
Cute! We have a little girl about a year older than Clara, and we hung "not so friendly" ornaments on the upper half of the tree and "not-breakable, but not exactly meant to play with" ornaments on the bottom. Then we taught her "one finger touch" with the ornaments, and she was GREAT with the tree last year. We spent a couple of days reminding her, but the rest of the month, she would look carefully and never once pulled something down. I have a feeling Clara would be cautious and listen like my girlie was last year!
Random coupon question — how do you use so many Michael's coupons at once? They always only let me use one 20% off coupon at a time. Do you check out about 10 different times? :)
Awesome – thanks! (and, oh, yes, 40% off — 20% is for Bed, Bath, ha!!)
Wow! I LOVE the little spray painted animals!! They are my favorite for sure. They are cool and totally kid-proof which I definitely need this year. I am already planning on DIYing a whole slew of ornaments this year since all of ours are glass (we have a 20 month old…that doesn't mix). What great ideas.
We tackled staining our concrete floor in our future guest room/office–which I have been eyeing/pinning for months. I LOVE the Pinterest Challenge.
…off to check out everyone else's project.
Thanks so much for hosting the link par-tay today! Wow 76 submissions already and I know you're going to have tons more! I did a post about using cardboard & twine. I don't have a hobby lobby etc here in the Caribbean where I live (woe is me) but I love to use what I have anyway! xoxo
So creative! Can't wait to see where you hang em'!
90 projects linked in 15 minutes…guess I know where my next week is going. I loved this last time because I found soooo many great new blogs to follow. Thanks for hosting again!
Love the ornaments – so cute and personal. All you need now is a special Clara one (and a Burger one, that makes 39 & 40). I particularly liked your modern globe (especially compared to the inspiration photo – great update!)- imagine a little stick figure on Australia waving hello. Or not, a bit stalker-y for the Christmas tree.
Since you guys love initials so much (I'm partial too), why not get the little ceramic/plaster letters at the craft stores and paint those up for ornaments on the tree? First letter for each person? Clara could even paint hers the same way she did her pumpkin :)
I have an idea for a Clara ornament…
The tradition in my family is to get a clear glass round ornament and we each draw on one per year (using paint pens, but sharpies work too!). I have them from when i was little and just scribbled to now when we draw the highlights from the year. It really is one of my favorite traditions, I'm so glad my parents started this tradition so many years ago!
Oh my goodness … I LOVE these! You are just so crazy creative. I can't wait to try out some of these ideas!!
My BFF and I did 3 projects over the weekend – got them posted. Thought I would tell you that in this link: http://www.wom-mom.com/2011/11/pinterest-challenge-ethne-2.html
from one of my Pinterest projects you can see my corian countertop in the background island. Also, I did the painted glass bulb ornaments last week too – from Pinterest! Fun!
Thanks for hosting! I'm going to have so much fun checking out everyone else's posts!
He- Im so excited for your table setting posts. I am actually hosting both thanksgiving and xmas this year for the first time and really really want to have a fabulous table. When are you guys coming out with that?
love the ornaments! thanks for allowing us to post our projects! fun to see my art on YHL !! :)
Thanks for hosting this brilliant challenge! It was so much fun and I can't wait for the next one! Your animal ornaments are brilliant (both the colors and the idea)!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This spacious apartment (90 square meters), carefully and warmly decorated has all the necessary amenities to make easy both a short stay as a longer.
It's a flat with two double rooms, two large bathrooms (one with a very comfortable shower, the other with bathtub). It's wide kitchen is fully equipped (dishwasher, oven, microwave, a gas stove with 5 burners, and big fridge with freezer).
The 30 sq.m dining and living room offers you all the comfort you can wait after a day walking round the city. It's kitchen, opened to the dining room, makes easy to have breakfast or supper at the apartment.
All the apartment is painted in warm colors (the painter was an artist painter, there is a painting made by him hung on one of the walls). All the walls are plenty of contemporary paintings, all original, made by some friends of us.
The location couldn't be better, just between Sagrada Familia (10 minutes walking) and San Pablo Hospital (just in the corner), two of the masterpieces of Modernism.
I'm from Barcelona, I was born here and I live here. I love my city, its cultural offer, its gastronomic offer, the cinemas, the theaters, the restaurants, the tapas bar... I enjoy walking kilometers with my dog and discovering new cute shops, good restaurants, interesting groceries. Then, I can offer this information to my guests.
Mar Mellado / Xavier Vegué purchased this apartment in 1995
This used to be our home, me and my family lived here for years.
We moved few time ago and we want to share our place with foreign people who want to visit Barcelona, enjoy it and benefit of the hug offer it has. It's a nice place, warmly painted and with all our original paintings and art pieces, which provides a very cool and warm atmosphere.
The apartment is located between Sagrada Familia and Sant Pau Hospital. Both of them are Modernism masterpieces. The metro is at only one block and directs you to the center in few minutes, but the best option is walk the Eixample streets where every corner hides a surprise. The Av. Gaudí, the street that runs from Sant Pau Hospital to Sagrada Familia, is a very nice pedestrian promenade plenty of good restaurants and stores.
Paramos en el departamento cuatro días. Es altamente recomendable por su ubicación, limpieza, comodidad y, fundamentalmente, por la calidez de sus propietarios quienes estuvieron atentos a nuestras necesidades y opciones. A pesar del frío extremo que nos tocó esos días los ambientes se mantuvieron templados. Muy recomendable para viajar con hijos adolescentes. Muy confortable. Gracias.
We stayed at the apartment for one week between Christmas and new year. We are two adults and two teenagers and found the apartment clean, comfortable and well equipped. Mar and Xavier were excellent hosts, and provided lots of detailed information for enjoying the city. We found barcelona clean, friendly and easy to get around. Would definitely recommend this apartment, only 2 subway stops from downtown, but removed enough that noise and crowds were not an issue. A few minutes walk from la sagrada, and tapas or coffee outside with a marvellous view of la sagrada. A day trip to Montserrat also a highlight. I would suggest an additional chair in the living room, but otherwise awesome! Thanks Mar and Xavier.
Three of us thoroughly enjoyed our one-week pre-cruise stay at Mar and Xavier's apartment in the Eixample area of Barcelona. Everything was exactly as advertised. The apartment had lots of room, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. The only thing that was not adequately represented was the enormous - and priceless - hospitality and kindness we received from our two hosts.
Xavier met us at the airport, took us to the apartment, and then spent time with us enthusiastically describing its amenities. He told us where to find the best shops and restaurants in the area, and pointed out the must-sees of the city. Since this was our first visit to Barcelona, we soaked up everything he said. At the end of our stay, Xavier again facilitated our transfer to the cruise dock. As a bonus, and another example of the couple's attention to detail, Mar emailed us with a reminder to move our clocks back one hour...something that we weren't aware of and, if not done, would have caused us to miss our entry slot at Gaudi's amazing Park Guell.
The highlights of our stay were our visits to the Gaudi architectural sites, the old quarters of the city, the Picasso Museum and attending the symphony at the gorgeous Gran Teatre del445397
Liceu. Even though we walked a lot, Barcelona's integrated transport system was inexpensive and efficient when we needed it. Eixample was an area where we felt safe walking around at night (couldn't really say the same about Las Ramblas!). We would go back to Barcelona in a heartbeat and we would certainly want to stay at Mar and Xavier's.
This was my first trip to Spain. My family and I picked Barcelona because of it's location. One of my business associates had rented an apartment from Mar & Xavier in the past and recommended them. The apartment was very clean, the pictures are accurate. Very nice location & easy to get around Barcelona by subway. None of us speak Spanish, except for my children who study Spanish, but are at a beginner's level. Xavier met us at the apartment and sit with us for as long as he needed to answer all our questions. He had important information available at the apartment. Everything we needed was there, it was so much nicer than being in a hotel. Beautiful place, clean beautiful area. Xavier was extremely helpful, and gave perfect advise for getting around. I would defiantly stay here again and would recommend to my friends. The people in the area are also extremely nice and helpful. We got around fine, without speaking the language, people were willing to help us if we needed it and sign language works in all countries. :) One of the first places we went was to the Museu d'Historia de Catalunya. Not knowing much about this region, the museum was a great place to start, my 16 & 17 year old children loved it. Plus afterwards we walked to the Beach. We also took a day trip to Montserrat, a multi peaked mountain, it's an hour's train ride from Placa d'Espanya station. Beautiful! Very safe, clean, wonderful place! Mar & Xavier are very professional, personable, friendly host. Great Vacation!
This apartment exceeded all of our expectations for our 5 day stay in Barcelona. The mangers (Mar and Xavier) were marvelous. The communication from the beginning was excellent. They arranged our transport from the airport to the apartment for a reasonable fee and we found everything there we needed. The Metro was a block away, a grocery a block away and there was detailed information on all the good places to eat nearby after our days of sightseeing and more! The bed was very comfortable (not always true when you travel) and we loved the decor. We highly recommend this apartment. Thank you Mar and Xavier for all your advise and we loved meeting both of you and will stay here again if we return to Barcelona.
Die große, sehr gut ausgestattete, gemütliche, saubere und gut gelegene Wohnung mit Balkon war für unsere Familie mit 2 Kindern ein idealer Ort, um Barcelona zu erkunden. Sehr von Vorteil war auch der vom Nachbarn angemietete Parkplatz direkt im Haus nebenan.
Bäcker und Supermarkt sind gleich um die Ecke, ebenso die Metro- und Busstation.
Beeindruckt war ich von der außergewöhnlich guten Organisation der Vermieter: alle Emails wurden sofort und sehr ausführlich beantwortet, auch in der Wohnung gab es viele zusätzliche Informationen. Während unseres Aufenthalts wurde sogar nachgefragt, ob alles in Ordnung sei. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
Example is famous for being home to the majority of Barcelona's art nouveau masterpieces, and a high-class residential and shopping area.
The right side of the Example is the older and therefore has more of the impressive architecture.
Example is a safe and residential part of the city but there is also a vibrant nightlife and a thriving café culture. Example is a beautiful 'barrio' to wander round, take in the glorious architecture and people-watch from one of the many terrace cafes.
The right area of the Eixample was the first and is full of fabulous modernist works such as Gaudi's Casa Batllo, Casa Amatller (Puig i Cadafalch) and Lleó Morera by Domenech i Muntaner well known as the Block of Discord .....
The main example of mass creativity of Gaudi is the Sagrada Familia, still under construction and probably will remain for a long period of time ... is full of symbolism and meaning. This stunning creation never disappoints, as visitors to Barcelona are dazzled by its beauty again and again ...
Another building that also deserves mention is the Hospital de Sant Pau, which is being refurbished and recovered for the citizenship, and is probably the most complex example of modernist architecture ...
The Eixample dreta is full of museums such as the Fundació Antoni Tapies, the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona and the Fundació Francisco Goddia; You can't be disappointed with the neighborhood offer.
