Chasing their dream, moderated by Deborah Norville, Anchor, Inside Edition
Session recap
Chasing their dream, moderated by Deborah Norville, Anchor, Inside Edition
On Saturday, past winners of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award, including the winner of the 2013 US Entrepreneur of the Year, Hamid Moghadam, shared their stories and a few of the lessons they've learned while chasing the dream.
In the interview with Deborah Norville of Inside Edition, Moghadam said that when he met other national winners at the 2014 World Entrepreneur of the Year Event in Monte Carlo, he realized that nearly all shared one common trait: "I didn't meet anyone who has had a straight ride up the ladder. There are always setbacks, setting the stage for the next level of success."
Moghadam also said the entrepreneurs he met excelled at "identifying pain points" and then turning them into opportunities.
Sheila Johnson, CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts, recognized that opportunity in 1979 when she realized "there was no one to advocate for African Americans on cable TV" and founded Black Entertainment Television (BET). Johnson later sold BET to Viacom for $3 billion in 2003 before founding hospitality company Salamander.
Johnson and the other panelists also agreed that successful entrepreneurs can't do it all on their own. "You all have to have the same vision. You have to live and breathe it every day," she said.
For Jim Nixon, who bought the company that later became Varel International Energy Services, making sure that his employees and management team shared his vision was an integral part of his company's success.
"We set audacious goals to become a globally recognized brand in the oil services industry," he said, noting that his small company had to compete against some of the largest companies in the world to do so. To give everyone the opportunity to take their own steps toward helping the company, "we share monthly dashboards with all employees," Nixon added.
The desire to create jobs, especially in distressed communities, is another trait often shared by successful entrepreneurs. Andra Rush, Chairman and CEO of the Rush Group Family of Companies, said her company, which manufactures and delivers supplies to automotive companies, opened a business in the Detroit area in 2012.
"We now have more than 800 employees and their passion is unbelievable," she said.

Don't Let Your Children Grow Up t o Be Farmers - NYT
Expand Messages
- http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/opinion/sunday/dont-let-your-children-grow-up-to-be-farmers.html
NEW HAVEN — AT a farm-to-table dinner recently, I sat huddled in a corner with some other farmers, out of earshot of the foodies happily eating kale and freshly shucked oysters. We were comparing business models and profit margins, and it quickly became clear that all of us were working in the red.
The dirty secret of the food movement is that the much-celebrated small-scale farmer isn't making a living. After the tools are put away, we head out to second and third jobs to keep our farms afloat. Ninety-one percent of all farm households rely on multiple sources of income. Health care, paying for our kids' college, preparing for retirement? Not happening. With the overwhelming majority of American farmers operating at a loss — the median farm income was negative $1,453 in 2012 — farmers can barely keep the chickens fed and the lights on....

However, issues often arise with respect to an employee's entitlements during a protected leave of absence as well as their entitlements upon the conclusion of that leave of absence.
This paper will provide an overview of who is entitled to pregnancy / maternity, parental and personal emergency / sick / family medical leaves of absence. It will also address an employer's obligations both during a protected leave of absence and following the conclusion of the protected leave of absence.

Tech News & Commentary
Netflix (NFLX) stock hit an all-time high Thursday on the eve of the second-season premiere of its critically acclaimed drama "House of Cards."
Netflix stock was up 2%, near 438, in afternoon trading on the stock market today. Earlier in the session, Netflix stock hit a record high of 439.35. Netflix stock is up 19% year to date, after jumping 298% last year.
Netflix also is riding a wave of content acquisition deals and strong subscriber gains.

On Thursday , Netflix announced an exclusive licensing deal with the Walt Disney Co.'s (DIS) Lucasfilm Animation and Disney/ABC Television Group to bring the sixth and final season of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" to Netflix subscribers. The 13-episode season, dubbed "The Lost Missions," will be available for streaming in the U.S. and Canada on March 7. The multiyear agreement also makes Netflix the exclusive subscription service for the entire "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series, which broadcast originally on the Cartoon Network, a subsidiary of Time Warner (TWX).
Last week, Netflix announced a deal with Scholastic Media, a division of Scholastic (SCHL), to be the exclusive streaming video service for the "Clifford the Big Red Dog" animated series. Netflix members will be able to view the series starting Friday.
Also Friday, Netflix will stream all 13 episodes of the second season of its Emmy Award-winning political drama "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright.
With a major winter storm hitting the East Coast, some media reports suggest the Friday premiere is perfect timing for a binge-watching weekend.
Meanwhile, Netflix bears continue to warn investors about the company's rising content costs. Wall Street bears note that Netflix's content cost increases are outpacing its revenue growth. Its streaming content liabilities rose 29% to $7.25 billion at the end of 2013 from $5.63 billion at the end of 2012.
On Jan. 22, Netflix posted fourth-quarter earnings that smashed Wall Street's target. It also reported its fourth straight quarter of accelerating sales growth. Netflix ended 2013 with 33.42 million domestic subscribers and 10.93 million international subscribers, for a total of 44.35 million.
Amazon.com (AMZN) has emerged as Netflix's principal streaming competitor in the U.S. with its Prime Instant Video service. Last week, Amazon began streaming pilot episodes for potential TV series on the Prime service. They include the apocalyptic drama "The After" from Chris Carter, creator of "The X-Files"; and the darkly comic show "Transparent," starring Jeffrey Tambor.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Ancient Rome and the United States
Our allies don't even trust us on the world stage anymore.
You know this for sure ….how?
And, I don't want any of those shitty right-winger links.
Just for once I find myself in agreement with jhco. Here are some interesting findings from a BBC poll (an organisation with a decidedly left wing bias), among which is that the USA scores the same as Russia on positive/ negative influence on the world.

This is a lovely little story about pay phones on Whidbey Island. Warning: those who spent too much time with phone systems in their youth may feel inexplicable nostalgia.
Thanks, Bruce!
Bruce Schneier says nice things about my latest book.
CERT, Tor, and Disclosure Coordination
There's been a lot said in security circles about a talk on Tor being pulled from Blackhat. (Tor's comments are also worth noting.) While that story is interesting, I think the bigger story is the lack of infrastructure for disclosure coordination.
Coordinating information about vulnerabilities is a socially important function. Coordination makes it possible for software creators to create patches and distribute them so that those with the software can most easily protect themselves.
In fact, the function is so important that it was part of why CERT was founded to: "coordinate response to internet security incidents." Now, incidents has always been more than just vulnerabilities, but vulnerability coordination was a big part of what CERT did.
The trouble is, it's not a big part anymore. [See below for a clarification added August 21.] Now "The CERT Division works closely with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to meet mutually set goals in areas such as data collection and mining, statistics and trend analysis, computer and network security, incident management, insider threat, software assurance, and more." (Same "about" link as before.)
This isn't the first time that I've heard about an issue where CERT wasn't able to coordinate disclosure. I want to be clear, I'm not critiquing CERT or their funders here. They've set priorities and strategies in a way that makes sense to them, and as far as I know, there's been precious little pressure to have a vuln coordination function.
It's time we as a security community talk about the infrastructure, not as a flamewar over coordination/responsibility/don't blow your 0day, but rather, for those who would like to coordinate, how should they do so?
Heartbleed is an example of what can happen with an interesting vulnerability and incomplete coordination. (Thanks to David Mortman for pointing that out in reviewing a draft.) Systems administrators woke up Monday morning to incomplete information, a marketing campaign, and a slew of packages that hadn't been updated.
Disclosure coordination is hard to do. There's a lot of project management and cross-organizational collaboration. Doing that work requires a special mix of patience and urgency, along with an unusual mix of technical skill with diplomatic communication. Those requirements mean that the people who do the work are rare and expensive. What's more, it's helpful to have these people seated at a relatively neutral party. (In the age of governments flooding money into cyberwar, it's not clear if there are any truly neutral parties available. Some disclosure coordination is managed by big companies with a stake in the issue, which is helpful, but it's hard for researchers to predict and depend apon.) These issues are magnified because those who are great at vulnerability research rarely spend time to develop those skills, and so an intermediary is even more valuable.
Even setting that aside, is there anyone who's stepping up to the plate to help researchers effectively coordinate and manage disclosure?
[Update: I had a good conversation with some people at CERT/CC, in which I learned that they still do coordination work, especially in cases where the vendor is dealing with an issue for the first time, the issue is multi-vendor, or where there's a conflict between vendor and researcher. The best way to do that is via their vulnerability reporting form, but if things don't work, you can also email firstname.lastname@example.com or call their hotline (the number is on their contact us page.]
[Update 2, Dec 2014: Allen Householder has a really interesting model of "Vulnerability Coordination and Concurrency Modeling" on the CERT/CC blog, which shows some of the complexity involved, and touches on topics above. Oh, and some really neat Petri-dish state models.]
July 20, 1969.
I've blogged about it before.
There are people who can write eloquently about events of such significance. I am not one of them. I hope that doesn't stand in the way of folks remembering the amazing accomplishment that the Apollo program was.
Mail Chaos
The mail system I've been using for the last 19 years is experiencing what one might call an accumulation of chaos, and so I'm migrating to a new domain, shostack.org.
You can email me at my email@example.com, and my web site is now at http://adam.shostack.org
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
[Update: A number of folks have asked what happened. The simple answer is technical debt associated with maintaining servers in the basement. No drama, just life.]
Seattle event: Ada's Books
For Star Wars day, I'm happy to share this event poster for my talk at Ada's Books in Seattle
Technical Presentation: Adam Shostack shares Threat Modeling Lessons with Star Wars.
This will be a less technical talk with plenty of discussion and interactivity, drawing on some of the content from "Security Lessons from Star Wars," adapted for a more general audience.
Virtual assistant services?
I'm getting ready to announce an East coast book tour. In planning my Silicon Valley tour, I learned that between scheduling, getting the details needed out, making sure I knew where I was sleeping, there was a large amount of administrative work involved. So I'd like to hire someone to take care of all that for me next time.
I think the tasks will include:
- Engage with companies/venues interested in having me speak to work through scheduling & logistics, including ordering books
- Scheduling (including travel time, setup, speaking, signing)
- Travel coordination including hotels & trains
Do you have recommendations for a virtual assistant service that you've used for something at this level of complexity?
Alternately, convince me that I want a specialized book tour operator? My experience in Silicon Valley was that most venues were companies, and many were good enough to buy the books for their employees. So I don't think I need someone specialized.
L'Academie Gawker
Via Poynter, we learn that the word "massive" has been banned on Gawker.
We want to sound like regular adult human beings, not Buzzfeed writers or Reddit commenters," new Gawker Editor Max Read says in a memo to the publication's writers. Words like "epic," "pwn" and "derp" are no longer welcome on the site. Read also says the word "massive" is "never to appear on the website Gawker dot com."
The desire to sound like regular human beings is admirable, and Mr. Read is correct when he says that jokes made using strikethrough are generally not worth saving.
However, he seems to fall into a trap of believing that there is an hierarchy of language goodness which is removed from our social hierarchies. We're not the French, with L'Acadamie française to define correct language, and to be ignored by Le Frenchmen
dans on le weekends.
The observable reality is that language evolves as a result of a variety of pressures or opportunities. That is, language is emergent, not decreed. There is no authority who gets to declare what words a community uses (outside of NewSpeak, and even in Orwell's world, normal people don't use NewSpeak daily, because the words decreed by Big Brother didn't serve their needs. Real language is inevitably chaotic and messy.
This is a massive pile of derp, and an epic mistake on Gawker's part.
[Updated to add a strikethrough joke.]
RSA: Time for some cryptographic dogfood
One of the most effective ways to improve your software is to use it early and often. This used to be called eating your own dogfood, which is far more evocative than the alternatives. The key is that you use the software you're building. If it doesn't taste good to you, it's probably not customer-ready. And so this week at RSA, I think more people should be eating the security community's cryptographic dogfood.
As I evangelize the use of crypto to meet up at RSA, I've encountered many problems, such as choice of tool, availability of tool across a set of mobile platforms, cost of entry, etc. Each of these is predictable, but with dogfooding — forcing myself to ask everyone why they want to use an easily wiretapped protocol — the issues stand out, and the companies that will be successful will start thinking about ways to overcome them.
So this week, as you prep for RSA, spend a few minutes to get some encrypted communications tool. The worst that can happen is you're no more secure than you were before you read this post.
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security
I am super-excited to announce that my new book, Threat Modeling: Designing for Security (Wiley, 2014) is now available wherever fine books are sold!
The official description:
If you're a software developer, systems manager, or security professional, this book will show you how to use threat modeling in the security development lifecycle and the overall software and systems design processes. Author and security expert Adam Shostack puts his considerable expertise to work in this book that, unlike any other, details the process of building improved security into the design of software, computer services, and systems — from the very beginning.
- Find and fix security issues before they hurt you or your customers
- Learn to use practical and actionable tools, techniques, and approaches for software developers, IT professionals, and security enthusiasts
- Explore the nuances of software-centric threat modeling and discover its application to software and systems during the build phase and beyond
- Apply threat modeling to improve security when managing complex systems (or even simple ones!)
- Manage potential threats using a structured, methodical framework
- Discover and discern evolving security threats
- Use specific, actionable advice regardless of software type, operating system, or program approaches and techniques validated and proven to be effective at Microsoft and other top IT companies
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security is full of actionable, tested advice for software developers, systems architects and managers, and security professionals. From the very first chapter, it teaches the reader how to threat model. That is, how to use models to predict and prevent problems, even before you've started coding.
Threat Modeling: Designing for Security is jargon-free, accessible, and provides proven frameworks that are designed to integrate into real projects that need to ship on tight schedules.
For more information, I've set up a small book website: threatmodelingbook.com.
Amazon has Kindle edition, and is saying that the paperback will ship in "9-11 days." I believe that's startup issues in getting the books to and through the warehousing system, but don't know details. I will be having a book signing at RSA, Wednesday at 11 AM in Moscone South. (iCal reminder.)
Future blogging
In light of me celebrating the joyous chaos of what to put on which blog, but more importantly, not wanting readers to have to subscribe to three blogs, I'll be blogging about threat modeling over on the New School blog.

Missionaries to Costa Rica
Answers to Prayer
1 Between 1970 and 1988 there was dramatic growth of Evangelicals from 3% to 11%. After problems, growth has resumed some reckon 16% to be Evangelicals. From this revival was birthed one of Latin America's most effective foreign missions advance.
Challenges for Prayer
1 The tragic and sudden halt to evangelical church growth in 1988 led to a decade of little progress. There are now numerous unattached Evangelicals (6% of the population) and many more ex-Evangelicals who have returned to the Catholic Church, turned to sects or given up on Christianity. The causes need to be turned into prayer fuel.
a) Denominational rivalry and acrimonious divisions disillusioned many. Pray for love, humility and oneness in the Spirit to characterize the leadership in churches.
b) Inflexible sub-cultures and petty legalisms discouraged many new Christians and seekers. Pray for revival.
c) Secularism, materialism, post-modern and New Age mindsets are sapping the vitality of urban congregations.
d) The moral failure of evangelical leaders both internationally known US televangelists and Costa Rican pastors. The challenge is to restore both holy living and credibility to the cause of Christ.
2 The Roman Catholic Church has been deeply impacted by charismatic renewal. Many came to a living, personal faith in Christ. On the one hand, attendance at mass and the number of indigenous seminarians and priests has increased. On the other hand large numbers left the Church for evangelical groups. Pray that charismatic Catholics may be able to inject greater spirituality through their 're-evangelization' programme. The great majority of Costa Ricans remain very nominal in their faith and in spiritual need immorality, alcoholism and spiritist practices are widespread.
a) Increased cooperative efforts for outreach and mission despite lingering hesitations on the part of some Evangelicals. The Costa Rican Evangelical Alliance, representing the majority of denominations has initiated a programme 'Costa Rica Century XXI' for promoting the development of churches at every level. Pray for a cutting edge to this vision, and for the leaders of this ambitious programme.
b) Improved leadership training. There are 26 Bible schools and seminaries and an extensive TEE programme. IMDELA (Missiological Institute of the Americas) has opened a residential and extension programme in missions. Pray that there might be a new generation of godly, effective leaders for the churches that will commend the gospel.
4 Special evangelistic challenges:
a) Students have proved less responsive to the gospel, and drug addiction has become a serious problem. Christian student leadership has been weak in the past. There is a growing national student movement linked with ECU(IFES), Alfa y Omega (CCCI), Maranatha (a Pentecostal student work) and others.
b) All Amerindian tribes are being evangelized but most are either nominally Catholic or animist. There is, however, a vocal, syncretistic, indigenous church among the Cabécar, and evangelical missionary input to the Boruca, Bribri, Guaymi and Maleku. Pray that truly indigenous churches using their mother tongues may be established.
c) Chinese have increased in numbers, many immigrating from Taiwan and mainland China. Some have become Catholic, and there are now a few Evangelicals in three small groups. The Chinese Christian Mission started a work among them in 1985. Pray that cultural and spiritual barriers to faith may be broken down and churches multiply among them.
d) The Mekitelyu Afro-Caribbean community on the Caribbean coast is nominally Protestant, but few people have a vital, life-affecting faith in Christ. Pray for ongoing evangelistic campaigns and that these may result in Mekitelyu-speaking congregations.
e) Muslim immigrants are few, but increasing. Mainly Arab, Iranian and South Asian.
5 The Federation of Evangelical Missions of Costa Rica has become a shining example of God's grace in envisioning the Church for world evangelization. Alcance 2000 was a vision to mobilize 12,000 prayer warriors, target 50 unreached peoples around the world and send out 500 cross-cultural missionaries. Over eight years the number of Costa Rican missionaries doubled to more than 260 in 1997. Pray for the growth and maturity of this movement.
6 Missions. The largest agencies are LAM (81), IMB-SBC (36), AoG (31), YWAM (28), CoN (26), CRWM (19), CAM (19). The stability of the country has made this a good base for many regional and global ministries. Pray for cooperation and close fellowship between agencies, as there is a frustrating duplication of effort and a dominance of North Americans in many supportive agencies. Visas are becoming more difficult to obtain.
a) Radio and TV. There are four Christian radio and two TV stations; other secular stations air Christian programmes. Pray that efforts to restrict this ministry may fail. Also pray that broadcasts may lead to conversion among the unsaved and growth among the Christians.
b) LAM's 'Christ for the City' vision. This has resulted in short-term team ministry abroad, and in child care clinics and outreach to shanty towns at home.
c) The Bible Society. Demand for Scriptures is strong and growing. Pray that no opposition may succeed in preventing the distribution of Scriptures.
d) The Spanish Language Institute where many missionaries learn Spanish. Pray for staff and missionary students.

I wanted to buy a new diningroom table but they were all too expensive. I went online to Overstock and lo and behold I found then exact style, in the exact color for the right price. I'm a happy camper!Read More
Beautiful Table... Minus the Crack
Pluses: sturdy build, beautiful finish, easy to put together Potential minus: the "cheapness" shows in the woodwork underneath, but who among your guests would actually check? ;) My table top arrived with a crack on the surface. I'm trying to get a replacement for it, but currently the item is out of stock. It's a small-enough crack that I could live with I suppose, but it peeves me to get a brand new item that arrives with a defect. (Some quality control needs to be done on the manufacturing end!) Also, from reading the reviews, my fear is that this crack will only get larger/longer over time. I'm hoping to get a notification saying that the item has been restocked soon, and that the replacement itself doesn't have its own issues. If not, Pinterest suggests rubbing a walnut over the crack to hide it. I'll have to try that out. Overall, I'd recommend the product for its looks and ease of assembly. From reading the reviews, it sounds like it's hit or miss with getting a product free of cracks or splits. For the price though, I think it's worth the gamble. Just make a point to save the packaging in case the damage is bad enough to warrant a return... if the product ever gets restocked, I mean.Read More
I actually use this as my office table. I love it. The quality is very nice and it was simple to add the legs. It didn't take 10 minutes. I would recommend this table to anyone.Read More
4 table tops
I really love this table, but it took me 4 tries to get a table top that wasn't cracked. Thankfully, Overstock Customer Service was very helpful, and quick to send me the replacement table tops free of charge. I was worried about potential return shipping charges for the damaged table top parts, but I didn't even have to send my old cracked table-tops back. They told me to dispose of them as I saw fit - so that was easy - in the dumpster they went.Read More
Attractive, solid, modern table
Very well packed - arrived in perfect condition. (Some reviewers complain of cracked ends; maybe we got lucky?) Each end is a u-shaped subassembly of two legs and a crossmember - these bolt to the ends of the tabletop, and are fully visible. This makes for a rather modern look. Instructions were straightforward, though a 13mm socket wrench made assembly easier than the included wrenchlet. This table is a little bigger than most 'small' dining tables, while still much smaller than a full-blown dining room table. It's a perfect fit for our nook, but check the dimensions against the space where you plan to place it. The stain is dark enough that the wood isn't immediately identifiable as rubberwood. Very good value compared to the MDF/veneer products typical in this price range.Read More
Had high hopes for this table with simple design but the rail which attaches to the legs on both sides are splitting. It was cracked from the beginning but didn't want to go through returning and paying for the return and I figured I could stain the cracks to match where open wood was showing but the crack has grown. I hope it doesn't split. Really disappointing. Glad it's sustainable rubber tree wood and nice color but poor craftsmanship and people are not checking what they ship out. Buy something higher end if ordering online or buy local, at least you can see it before you buy or have somewhere local to return it to.Read More
Don't Buy
I purchased this table about 11 months ago, and I loved it. That was until a few months ago when the table started splitting/cracking. When I called Overstock, I was told that I could try to return it, but at best because of the time frame, I could only hope for a partial refund. I am now the proud owner of a large table with two large cracks over a foot long on either side. I'm not satisfied at all. So while I was initially excited, it was not worth the investment for less than a year of use!Read More
Great Value
I ordered this table with the understanding that it is really just for my fiancee and I. It's fitting for the occasional guest, too, but can be kind of a tight squeeze. In any case, it is the perfect size and look for us and our taste. I would say get the measuring tape out and get an idea for it's real size. We did and knew it would be perfect, but the picture seems a little misleading shown with 6 chairs. It's a great find.Read More
Beautiful Piece
I bought this table thinking it came with the chairs (like in the photo) when it arrived I was furious because there were no chairs. When I checked my order again, i realized i made a mistake and really I had to laugh at myself. Anyway, this table is georgeous (minus the little dent that it came with, probably during shipping). Its super easy to assemble, took my boyfriend about 5 mins max. BTW, I had to buy the matching chairs :) (can't wait for them to arrive)Read More
Love it!
Love this table. Its not oversized so its perfect for my space. Took 10 mins to assemble. Unfortunately table top had some damage however customer service sending a replacement.Love the matching chairs too. They were very easy to assemble.Read More

Shopping Guides
Choosing Dining Tables
Choosing from among the many different types of dining tables can be a fun and thrilling shopping experience. There's a perfect dining table for your room whether you're redecorating your dining room or furnishing your new home. Just like any other piece of furniture, there are certain characteristics you'll need to be aware of when purchasing a dining table. If you're well informed, you'll pick the perfect table the first time around. Here is a list of tips to remember when choosing dining tables.
Popular Styles of Dining Tables
Dining rooms are only as good as the dining tables used to decorate them. It doesn't matter if you're completely remodeling or you merely want to upgrade your dining area; dining tables are one of the most important pieces of furniture for your kitchen or dining room. Your dining room is more than just a place to eat. It's a place where wonderful memories are made, whether with friends or family, during weekly dinners or over the holidays. Investing in a dining table set instantly upgrades the atmosphere and appearance of your dining room. However, you need to know what kind of dining room table to purchase in order to show off your house at its fullest potential. Not all dining tables fit all styles. Keep reading to find out which are the most popular styles of dining tables so you can pick the one that best fits your personality and your home's decor.
Dining Tables Buying Guide
Selecting a dining table seems simple enough, but since it gets a great deal of use, you want to make sure you choose the right one. Your dining room table can serve as a daily meeting place for family, the place where loved ones gather to celebrate holidays and milestones, or a staging area for big projects; all that adds up to one significant piece of furniture. To find your ideal dining room table, consider these features: size, capacity, shape, and style.
Bistro Tables for Outdoor Dining
Sharing a meal with family or friends outdoors is a refreshing change from sitting around the dining room table. Bistro tables add elegance and charm to any outdoor patio, balcony, porch or garden area when entertaining. When set for two, a cozy bistro set encourages conversation in close proximity. Whether you're sharing a meal with an intimate date or having brunch with a few friends, bistro tables make the experience quaint and enjoyable.
How to Set Round Dining Tables
If you are planning a formal dinner or a holiday party, setting one or more round dining tables is a smart way to design your occasion. With round dining tables, everyone can see each other and socialize easily. When setting round dining tables with formal dinnerware, there are few simple rules of dining etiquette to follow to make sure everyone gets their proper tableware. If you are throwing a formal dinner or holiday party, a well-set table creates a formal ambiance or a festive vibe for your guests to enjoy.
Best Table Shape for the Kitchen or Dining Room
A kitchen or dining room table is often the centerpiece of the room. Chances are you are going to have the same table for many years, so when you are picking out the right table for your room, you are going to want to find a perfect fit. Most tables come in a few main shapes, so be sure to choose the one that is perfect for your family and kitchen or dining room over a long period of time.
How to Get Sticky Spills off of Dining Room Tables
The last thing you want on dining room tables is a sticky spill. Not only is sticky residue unsightly on dining room tables, it can also brush up against your clothes, stick to plates or other items and just be a general hassle. Don't tolerate sticky messes on your dining table. In fact, the sooner you clean it up, the easier the process will be. Plus, leaving messes too long can damage the surface or appearance of your kitchen table. Chances are you'll want your dining set to last as long as possible. Here are a few tips to cleaning up sticky residue and keeping your dining table set in prime condition.
How to Decorate Your Dining Room with Round Area Rugs
Add color and warmth to your dining room by laying area rugs atop hardwood or tiled floors. Round area rugs are a perfect fit for dining rooms with circular tables. Whether it's the main dining table, a decorative accessory table or simply a floor lamp with a spherical lamp shade, round area rugs are the perfect accent piece. They can also be used to freshen the look of worn or stained carpet in a well-used dining room.
FAQs about Butterfly Leaf Tables
Also known as expandable tables, butterfly leaf tables are a helpful solution for solving space problems in a small dining room. Traditional dining room tables take up more space, and not everyone has that kind of space. Rather than settling for a smaller table that can't accommodate guests on special occasions, you can use a table that can be extended to allow for more seating when you need it. Here are the answers some of the most frequently asked questions about butterfly leaf tables.
How to Organize Clutter on a Dining Room Table
All too often, kitchen and dining room tables become a catchall for things, often because of a lack of organization and storage options. When children come home from school, the jackets and backpacks land on the kitchen table as kids head to the refrigerator. After doing several loads of laundry, clean clothes can end up on the dining room table. Mail, bills, books, phone chargers and accessories seem to migrate to this location over time. Cleaning off the dining room table can give your family back a space to come together and socialize without the presence of a TV.
Top 5 Drop-leaf Table Styles for Small Spaces
When space is scarce, a drop-leaf dining table is an efficient solution for seating guests. If you frequently entertain but your kitchen or dining room is small, then this is the perfect table for you. Drop-leaf tables come in many different styles, each of which is compact and functional in addition to being beautiful. Here are the top five types to consider when you are shopping for a drop-leaf dining table.
How to Measure for a Dining Table
A beautiful dining table is not only the centerpiece of any dining room; it is often the heart of the home as well. Many people choose the largest dining table they can, but it's important to ensure that you have adequate space not only for the table but also for the chairs and the people who will be sitting in them. Measuring your dining area for a perfect fit isn't complicated and will guarantee a comfortable dining experience for years to come.
How to Set a Dining Table
The ability to set a proper dining table is a vanishing art. It's often a miracle if the dinnerware gets used at all on a busy schedule, but it doesn't have to be that way: Learning how to set a dining table is easy and can be done in short order. By following this simple process, you will impress dinner guests with a classy and personalized dining table. Note that these instructions detail how to complete one proper setting. Simply repeat the process for each setting needed.
Tips on Dining Table Settings
A well-set dining table is nearly as crucial to a great meal as the food. Don't underestimate the importance of your formal table setting; properly prepared dining table sets enhance the leisurely enjoyment of a meal, while a sloppily prepared dinner table can diminish the appeal. Read on for a variety of helpful table setting ideas and tips on creating dining table settings.
How to Choose a Dining Table
For most families, the dining table is the heart of the home. Whether it's a place to gather with your children for casual dinners or a formal table at which you and your spouse host elaborate dinner parties, the dining table is an important and substantial piece of furniture. In many families, the dining room table has been well taken care of and handed down from generation to generation. Carefully consider how and where you will be using your table before you choose to purchase one.
How to Decorate a Dining Room Table
For most people, the days are gone where you reserve the dining room table for special occasions like Thanksgiving dinner. The dining table once stayed in a room of its own, closed off from the rest of the house. These days, the dining table serves as an essential focal point in many homes, particularly those with open floor plans that afford views of the dining area from the living room, kitchen or entryway. Keep your look fresh and sophisticated by decorating your dining room table with functional and stylish pieces.
How to Set a Dining Table for 12
Hosting a dinner party is a lot of fun, whether you are just having friends over for a small celebration or family over to share a holiday meal. You likely already own most of the dinnerware, glasses and kitchen linens you need, and setting a dining table is a golden opportunity to use your fine kitchen linens and formal dinnerware that may have been collecting dust in your closet. While setting a table for 12 can be a bit intimidating, it is not a difficult or lengthy process, and your guests will be impressed by your hosting talents and knowledge of conventional etiquette.
FAQs about Dining Table Chairs
Choosing the right dining table chairs can make or break the look of your dining room. If you've already chosen a table, and most people have by the time they're looking for chairs, then you know that dining room and bar furniture is available in a stunning array of choices. Before purchasing dining table chairs, ask yourself some key questions so you're sure to get the furniture that's right for you.
Dining Chairs Buying Guide
Your dining table is the focus of your dining room and ties all of your dining room furniture together. Although your dining chairs will not be the main attraction of your room, they will be the key to a successful dining experience. If your dining room chairs are uncomfortable, your dinner parties may be, also. Your chairs will need to complement your other dining room furniture while creating just the right seating for every holiday party. Let us help you buy dining chairs that will fit your room, your table and your lifestyle while still being comfortable and stylish.
How to Remove Scratches from a Wooden Table
Scratches on wooden dining tables not only present an unsightly appearance; they leave the wood unprotected and open to staining and moisture. Scratches can be slight or deep, and removing each type requires a different method of repair. The finish of your wooden table also plays a part in how to remove the scratches, especially if the scratch is deep.
