Sharing my Story
Until last year I was just a Christmas decorating kind of gal. Then I stumbled across this website, full of happy decorating enablers (yes, I mean you!), which then lead me to the land of cheap, but oh so beautiful, decorating blogs. I now have totes and bins in the basement full of decor for every season and holiday (as well as a DH that heaves a heavy sigh every time he goes down there to look for something of his). Don't even get me started on the totes and bins full of tablescaping items! I'll save that story for another day :) I am now unable to pass by a DT, a TS, a GW, an ES, an ARC or a GS (took me a bit to learn what all those meant!)without thinking about someone here that has taken that ugly whatzit and turned it into a beautiful addition to their home.
I have started on my fall decorating for this year. I will add some Halloween elements on Oct. 1. After Halloween I will add some Thanksgiving finds and then on to my full blown Christmas decorating (I get *really* serious about that!). Please feel free to take a look through my photobucket keeping in mind, my fall decor 2010 photos were taken with my Iphone. DH just bought a new DSLR camera and I need to have him practice taking decor photos:)
Here is a link that might be useful: Fall Decor 2010
maxi...you've got a great headstart on the Fall season! Love all your Fall colors..are the pumpkins, gourds faux ones? My fav is the small table in LR where you used lidded glass jar, framed pumpkin photo & that hurricane metal candle thing-y. Yes, this forum is wonderful & it's great to celebrate other holidays than only Christmas! TFS! Jeanne S. (ps..just remind DH to be careful not to stub his toes on those bins! LOL!)
Everything is faux :) The framed pumpkin photo is actually a framed greeting card from DT (2-$1.00)! It is DH's favorite piece of decor :) I have a tap light inside the top of the metal candle holder thingy. Looks really cool when on at night.
Kath, I LOVED your post! I think everyone of us here can relate. But then who does that leave to blame??? LOL.
Must be this magical Forum that casts spells over us as we enter it!
Your decor is lovely, and I have to agree with Jeanne as to my favorite being the little table. That greeting card made a beautiful accent. I had planned on my next trip to DT to check out gift bags! I saw on a blog about framing
them, they always have such neat pictures on them during the holiday season! I have framed cards before, but never even thought about the pretty gift bags!
Thank you for a nice start to my day.
hugs, Karen
Hi Kath...Welcome, although
I think I've seen you here before..am I right?
Anyway, I've Only Just Begun to do my Fall decorating, and here you are, 'In Full Swing' ! You did a lovely job and I think your color combinations are pretty.
I have to agree, I like that little table set up too.
I was also spying that Print, and was wondering if it was a card.. It's really nice and goes perfectly in that grouping.
I was laughing over your 'tubs & bins' in the Basement and not being able to pass up a TS/GW/DT-etc...I guess you're hooked! Again, 'Welcome To The Club' !!
Look forward to you joining us again.
Yep, I have been a GW member for several years now but lurk more than I post. I am not an artistic person (older brother got that gene) so I am timid about posting any of my decor projects. I am just a tad over critical of my decorating attempts :) I know everyone here is just so nice and any criticism will be purely constructive. I am trying to turn our 80's house into a comfortable home and have learned so much here!
Thank you all for the kind words!
You just made me realize that I need to tuck some fall leaves and things into the greenery I already have on top of my china cabinet this year! Your's looks lovely and I really like your pretty rooster up there. I agree with the others about how nice that little vignette on the table looks, I like the combination of items you used together. I'm so glad you are joining us in our "addiction", I just think it makes the holidays more special if we "decorate" a bit for them, don't you? Thanks for sharing with us and please join in with comments and more of your pics anytime, okay?
Welcome Kath! And thanks for sharing your albums and ideas with us. You may THINK that you don't have any artistic genes, but your beautiful vignettes are proving you wrong ;^D I'm happy that you've come out of Lurkdom and are finally piping in! Stick around this time, OK?
Ok, was just going to ask you about that framed picture! Drat, was just in DT yesterday for cleaning supplies & never EVER thought of looking thru the greeting cards for something to frame.
I don't know why, but I just love framed seasonal or holiday pictures in a vignette!
All of your decor is so pretty, especially like the rooster tucked in among the fall decor on the hutch!
** I am now unable to pass by a DT, a TS, a GW, an ES, an ARC or a GS (took me a bit to learn what all those meant!)**
Kath, I've been visitng here for 2 years and I STILL don't know all the abbreviations.
TS is tag sale.
GW is Goodwill.
DT is ????
ES is ????
ARC is ????? (I just saw this one for the first time a couple of days ago.)
Someone clue me in - PLEASE!
What a pretty home! You just jogged my lazy brain...I have a hutch, some leaves and a rooster. Now I know what to do with them!! Thankyouverymuch!
All of your decorations a lovely, thanks for showing us and I am looking forward to the Thanksgiving and Christmas displays :^)
It is all so lovely, but I also love the small table and the framed card. I have framed postcards and Christmas cards to use as wall art, and I framed a DT large Santa gift bag front last holiday season. I just loved his face, and I kind of hated to put him away when the season was over.
It is in a 16 x 20 TS frame that I got for $2 and then dry brushed with the gold paint. I bought the mat at HL when it was 50% off so the whole pic was less than $5.
I too go over the top at Christmas, hence the name!!
I love that you have fall decor all through the house. It is very festive.
Well Candy, that settles it...I'm for sure checking out gift bags this holiday season! Your's looks like an expensive piece with the frame's paint treatment and the matting! Beautiful.
Last Christmas I framed a Santa picture. Printed it off my computer. Browsing flickr, I think, I saw a photograph of a man dressed up as Santa and I swear he must be the REAL DEAL. Hard to believe that was someone's DH just dressing up for the kids a photo. I fell in love with the picture tho and just had to frame it. Tho it would only print as 8x10 for me.
hugs, Karen
Kath, You sound just like me. I lurked for years before finally getting the urge to post, and now I just live to see the beautiful things these gals come up with. I too am a Christmas nut.I've always loved to decorate for Christmas, even before decorating the whole house was popular. My DD tells me thst I'm the only person so pocessed with Christms that I have a Santa toilet bowl brush holder.I've always loved dishes though, but until I found this forum, I had never really appreciated all the different decorating with them. Since joining here, I have became totally addicted. These girls are a terrific bunch, so warm and welcoming. I do really love your fall decorations. so far, all I have done is one arangement on a buffet with a candle in a holder and some ceramic pumpkins and fall folliage. I had never decorated for other holidays, so am just starting my fall collection. Glad you decided to join us, and look forward to seeing more pics. Janet
Kath, sounds like you fit in perfectly here. We love all kinds of decorations and this post has brought some new fun things about. Your pictures are wonderful and amazing what the new phones offer.
My decorating this year we be the same as yours and save me alot of time. Loved seeing Candy and Karen's prints and Jane's idea from calendars would be great too. I only have one framed print for Christmas but may enjoy more if I get creative. I received mine as a bonus for spending over $100 at one of the stores years ago.
J, hope to see DH framed this year! If he's a good enough sport to dress up, by all means you should frame him. If you go as Mrs Claus I hope we get to see that too.
And "your own" old family pics are wonderful for framing or matting for the holidays! *(Gee, ladies, this is Sept 16th...now ya got me going on Santa!) LOL! Jeanne S.
1948 snapshot...That's my Mom holding my hand on the left...I'm 2 yrs old..see the Santa profile (who's just come in the porch door at G'ma's (she's in center) house!)
,,,or this WONDERFUL Santa from my childhood!
ohhhh, gee, I'm back on the "old pics" kick! I'm done! LOL! But somebody mentioned that "bus" again in another post!
Jeanne, it sure looks like you charmed Santa too. No way he could resist that smile of yours!
No photos of me like that, my folks couldn't get me within ten feet of him! I was extremely shy, LOL. Tho if Santa was on a horse it might have made a difference!
hugs, Karen
Your Fall decorations are so pretty. I'm getting weaker by the minute I think I'll start bringing things out this weekend. I love the framed Santas I've seen them in magazines but they are pricey. So 2 years ago I saw a wonderful Santa on a shopping bag and bought it then I got a frame from a TS and framed it. I liked it so much that I bought a different one and framed that one as well. Okay I won't say I did that too anymore. Nanakaren
Way to go, NanaK...you were ahead of us on framing the gift bags. Smart lady. And its fine to say "been there, done that", so please don't stop telling us how you've decorated. Showing us pictures would be even better. LOL.
You know we are obsessed with photos here, and wish all of us had ways to post them. Everyone who doesn't have a digital camera, put it on your Christmas list now! ;o)
hugs, Karen
Karen, I hope to post some pictures soon, when my youngest DD comes by she'll do it for me, that is still beyond me I have some from last halloween that I want to share. I'm so glad to have found this forum. I admire so much what all of you do, and that you have so much fun doing it! ! ! NanaKaren
Jeanne..such priceless - precious pictures..
we do think alike when it comes to old family pictures.
I love that one of you and your mom and you and Santa!
Reminds me of 'Miracle On 34th Street' !
I have a 'Christmas Photo Box' with framed old family Christmas pictures. During the Christmas, I just put away the everyday ones...and replace them with those. Funny how every year, the family always enjoys looking at them.
Lots of Nostalgia I guess.

To all the lovely people who ask us "YO VICE? WHERE IT AT?" and other, less intelligible questions, your beloved ADMIN of this here QUIMBLOG is here to inform you that we have the new issue of Vice Magazine available in our venerable "free shit" area, fresh off the dump truck. It looks like this is the short story issue, featuring folks like William T. Vollman, Mary Gaitskill, Tao Lin, Nick Tosches and others, so Terry Richardson wannabes may want to give this new issue a pass. With photos and illustrations by former(?) Chicagoan Vincent Dermody and Brian's favorite assnozzle, Johnny Ryan, plus more usual Vice shit from "the ususal gang of idiots".

Alcohol played role in 5 of 13 snowmobile deaths this year in state
As far as we know, it's been nine days since Wisconsin has had a snowmobile death.
That's given safety officials some time to analyze the 13 fatalities so far this winter.
Gary Eddy of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says alcohol appeared to be a factor in at least five of the 13 deaths, although final toxicology reports are still pending.
Eleven males and two females have been killed, ranging in age from 16-65.

Saracen's Tornado?!
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Does the Saracen's Tornado Attack really suck this bad?
I have his Magic all the way up to level 25, and it only does 2 damage per hit! That's just aweful...
Also, his R+B magic attack (Sand Blast) only does like 14 damage (at level 25 magic). That's pretty shameful as well, haha.
Unless there's something strangely wrong with my game, I think we just figured out who the worst character is. o.O
Bear > Saracen
Random NPC
MGO: Steve Harvey
Does his tornado do more damage? If so, how much at its highest level (that's what I use to compare)?
Don't forget that Y magic gets better when your magic equals 30, so try equipping a magic weapon and/or pet. Still, both the Saracen and the Bear have pretty weak Y magic. At least Saracen's airY is a sand blast and not another tornado, unlike the Bear.
Godot is pleased. |D
Definitely more than 2, I think its around 20. Plus you can use it for like 30 seconds! xD (not really that long, but pretty frickin long)
Random NPC
MGO: Steve Harvey
Maybe strength has something to do with it because when you fight the final boss the tornado attack is classified as a physical not a magical attack. Just putting it out there.
No, actually the Saracen's Y-Air attack is another Tornado Attack. =(
His B-Air attack is used like everyone else's Y-Air attack, which is pretty cool, but he has NO distance. But, in his case, that's okay since he has the controllable Tornado Attack. I guess you could say his Y attack and B attacks are kind of switched, because his B attack is, more or less, a spread attack, where as his Y is (considered) a ranged attack. Still, all in all, his magic seems very weak (refer to my first post).
I have his Magic stat at 25, Eye of Beholder pet (+2 Magic), and the Black Mace equipped(+6 Magic). I dunno, I guess he's just that pathetic...=\
If this is the case, then they did a terrible job on this character...he could have been really good too!
That's actually very likely. The magic stat probably just affects how long the tornado lasts.
Godot is pleased. |D
I tried adding a weapon that gives him +2 Strength, but it is still only doing 2 damage at level 25 Magic.
I'm going to try leveling up his Strength about half way (level 12 or 13) to see if that has any effect at all...I guess I'll get back to you.

As a former New Homes Sales Manager and Realtor I have personally sold hundreds of homes. During my time in Real Estate I made several connections and have relationships with many Realtors. However, when it comes to my personal home and when I need the advice of today's market I will only work with Jim. I have known Jim his entire career and I know I can put my faith in him that he will always work in his client's best interest. He is everything you could ask for in a Real Estate Professional. I would highly suggest working with Jim in selling your current home and purchasing your new home.

Team reviews
My wife and I found Jim on Zillow, and we couldn't be happier with our home-buying experience. We moved from Miami to Fishers. Jim was able to schedule several showings for our house hunting trip, which was only 3 days long. During the trip we were able to find a home that met all of our criteria and also submit an offer. We closed on the house in about 29 days. He is very responsive, and always replied immediately to all inquiries. Even though we were out of state buyers, he was able to make our home-buying experience virtually stress free. We would highly recommend Jim.
We are relocating from Florida to Indiana and in the online search process we stumbled with Jim. He was the first realtor to respond a request for more information. We quickly engaged in the buying process and Jim was very helpful. He recommended different areas and provided his expert input when we felt lost. I really enjoyed working with him and he delivered on his promise of making this home buying process painless and fast.
Jim listed and sold our former home and assisted us in buying our new home. He provided almost immediate responses to all emails, regardless of time of day or day of the week. We were able to receive a full price offer within 3 days of listing our former home. When buying our new home, thanks to Jim's suggestions in negotiations and quick response time we were able to secure the house over multiple competing offers.
Working with Jim was an absolute delight. He was very thorough and honest with his work . He was patient and truly made me enjoy my first buying experience. Communication was never a problem and I truly felt like he had my back. I would recommend Jim to anyone and everyone!!
Jim was great. He was very responsive with everything he did. He called, texted and emailed quickly to any questions we had and kept us in the loop with every detail of our first home purchase. Jim would often point things out that we missed while ooing and awing over appliances like how old the roof was and wether or Not we should pray for a hail storm! He was very knowledgeable about the area and current prices/recent sales. He made buying our home simple and quick. Thanks again Jim!
Jim was an excellent agent in so many ways. He was very quick to respond and find answers to questions. He was very helpful in making suggestions but not imposing his ideas. He was always calm and professional.
Overal, Jim is an excellent agent and I would recommend him in a minute to anyone.
Well done! Lynn
When we initially asked Jim to help us locate property, we thought the process would take several months. When we began our search in the summer, we hesitated to ask him for showings since we did not anticipate purchasing anything this year. Jim was always willing to help us and he responded to our requests immediately. As it turned out, we found a property quickly, and Jim was able to make recommendations and help us navigate the buying process. He also is working with us to sell our current property next spring. His guidance has been very helpful. We are highly satisfied.
Jim helped me throughout the entire process of buying a house from financing to choosing a house to helping me find contractors to do improvement work afterward. He is very knowledgeable and made everything go very smoothly. I couldn't have done it without him!
We contacting Mr. Trueblood to help us find our first home, and he was fantastic in sharing with us the timeframe we should begin to look, provided us with tools to get a head start if we want to get a feel for similar houses in the area we would be looking, and outlined the whole process from the outset so we were prepared for each step before we even got there.
We actually found our house on our first trip with Jim to view houses! He was honest during the walkthroughs and steered us away from homes that he could tell we weren't crazy about, even regardless of price. His main concern was finding us the perfect home for our lifestyle that was within our price range.

Wedding Photography Advice From An Expert
The bride-to-be should hire a wedding photography Melbourne professional for her wedding day. Wedding photos are too important to trust to a family member or friend. Browsing through a photographer's portfolio is the way to see their style. Do they shoot formal poses, candids, or a combination of both? Some photographers shoot in color, black, and white, or a combination of the two.
It's important to the bride and the professional from the wedding photography Melbourne studio to discuss all the details of the wedding and reception so they're on the same page. If the bride wants photo shoots around the city, all arrangements should be made well in advance of the wedding. Some venues require special permits if wedding photos are being shot at the location, but it's not the venue for the wedding and reception.
Wedding photography Melbourne by Nova Photography studios are finding that a lot of brides want a garden wedding, and there are some beautiful locations around the city for a classic wedding and reception. The Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens is one of the loveliest venues in the city. The Australian Garden is a charming backdrop for a wedding. Alexandra Gardens and Queen Victoria Gardens are two more beautiful venues for outdoor weddings.
The wedding photography Melbourne studio that's hired for a wedding and the bride should have a chemistry that allows them to work together for an entire day so that the wedding and reception are memorable to everyone. It's important that the photographer is creative and can make ordinary settings look spectacular and capture all the special moments of the day.
If the wedding is to be in an outdoor setting such as one of Melbourne's beautiful gardens, plans should be made in advance for unexpected changes in the weather. Another thing to consider is that the photographer and staff will have to park in a parking bay near the garden and transport their equipment. Park Rangers enforce parking laws, even for a wedding, so plan accordingly.
An outdoor wedding in Melbourne is a lovely way to begin married life together. It's important to make arrangements as early as possible since the gardens are highly sought after for weddings and pre-wedding occasions.

Sources: Dale Jr. to race in No. 88 car next season
LOUDON, N.H. -- Fans who liked watching Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 8 since he moved to the Nextel Cup series eight years ago will double their pleasure in 2008.
Earnhardt will drive two stylized 8s next season for Hendrick Motorsports, sources told ESPN.com on Friday.
Robert Yates Racing, sources said, has agreed to sell the No. 88 that Dale Jarrett drove to the 1999 championship.
The car, which sources said will be sponsored by Mountain Dew and the Amp energy drink, will be revealed for the first time at a Wednesday press conference in Dallas.
Earnhardt, who owns a Busch Series car with the No. 88, would not confirm the report.
"Everybody will have to wait 'till Wednesday," he said. "We looked at a lot of different options and we have a lot of different trademarks. People are pretty familiar with what we're looking at as far as that goes."
Earnhardt had hoped the No. 8 would follow him from Dale Earnhardt Inc. to HMS. But when he couldn't reach a deal with stepmother/team owner Teresa Earnhardt, he began exploring other options.
As many as seven numbers were considered, most of them containing an 8.
"It's going to be a lot of fun to really see the reaction of the fans and I hope that they really enjoy what we're going to do," Earnhardt said. "We've been having a lot of fun with design and with the approach and sort of forming what our identity is going to be on the race track and off the track.
"It's going to be lots and lots of work. The hardest part is not changing anything you do personally about your personality or your mannerisms or anything and trying to get them to understand that that's who you are."
NASCAR's most popular driver isn't surprised by the amount of attention his number change has gotten among fans.
"It's a big deal," he said. "It's a really big deal. I don't know how to gauge the level of attention or compare it to anything else. But it's a pretty big deal for us.
"I'm super excited about it. I want to see changeable painted decaled racecars, and it's really going to sink in. It's sort of like waiting on Christmas."

Basic car safety systems designed to save lives in the event of an accident like seatbelts and airbags are being supplemented in modern vehicles by increasingly sophisticated preventative technologies such as ABS and lane departure warning systems. The next step in the evolution of collision prevention technology is vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications systems like that found on the LTE Connected Car and BMW's Vision ConnectedDrivet concepts that would allow vehicles to share information on their relative location and road conditions. GM has recently announced it is testing small, portable devices that create a "wireless safety net" to gather information from other vehicles and infrastructure to warn drivers of potential hazards.

GM uses active noise cancellation technology to improve fuel economy
Charged with the task of getting the fuel economy of the 2011 Chevy Equinox down to 32 mpg on the highway and beat out the 28 mpg-rated Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Ford Escape, GM engineers employed some rather unconventional fuel efficiency technology – active noise cancellation (ANC). By using the same technique used in noise cancelling headphones, the team was able to let the Equinox's engine run at a more fuel efficient rpm without the associated low frequency noise and achieve what GM claims is segment-leading fuel economy.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.

"Well of my being"? Very nice! Reminded me more of gamelan than anything else, a very excellent track indeed, soothing and meditative. I think perhaps, the bass could have done with some bass heavy EQing, but that shizzum is all creative decision. Keep up the excellence!
Tydusis responds:
I didn't know that was a genre; thank you for mentioning it. The bass is not as heavy as I thought it was; I unknowingly had my rig set to a bass boost setting.
I was really unsure of how this would be received. Thank you for the feedback! :D

While in Syracuse Thursday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters the new director should be someone who can move the fair forward. "What's the next evolution of the fair, right? How does the fair continue to grow and develop, so we attract even more people? And if fair management is becoming more and more sophisticated and they're now multi-entertainment venues, someone who brings that expertise I think would be great." Matt Driscoll on the Campbell Conversations By Grant Reeher • Mar 10, 2013 Matt Driscoll was mayor of Syracuse from 2001 to 2009. Since then, he's been the President of a state public authority, and most recently a member of Governor Cuomo's cabinet. In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, he discusses the environmental issues he became known for as mayor, economic development, and the current Syracuse mayor's disagreement with the governor over public pensions.

Heralding the onset of spring, New Craftsman Gallery presents a vibrant exhibition of paintings by Emma Jeffryes, contemporary jewellery by Cristina Zani and ceramics by Dylan Bowen.
For her new collection of works, entitled Seaward, painter Emma Jeffryes has invested long hours of 'absolute sea gazing', spending days at a time completely absorbed by ever changing tides, weather and ocean wave patterns. Drawing on a palette of rich coastal colours, her distinctly naïve works lead us from the tranquillity of low tide sands and bright fishing boats in St Ives harbour to the drama and grandeur of the 2014 Tall Ship Regatta Parade of Sail at Falmouth.
Underpinned by her fascination with literature, travel and architecture, Cristina Zani's jewellery is a tangible testimonial of her journeys through cities while Dylan Bowen's wheel thrown and handbuilt, slip decorated earthenware strikes a unique balance between traditional ceramics and pure works of painterly art.
Our current collection of uniquely beautiful Breon O'Casey jewellery will remain at the gallery throughout the spring. These beautiful pieces are from the O'Casey estate, many of which have been held in the USA and never seen before in the UK.
Other featured jewellery makers include Cornelius Jakob Van Dop, Chris Boland, Sarah Watson, Bea Jareno, Helen Noakes, Amanda Ray, Duibhne Gough and Guy Royle.
New Craftsman were proud to be the main contributor to the Leach Pottery's campaign to bring their historic fireplace back into use. Well done to all who pledged funds to relight theLeach fire and put the heart back into the old pottery workshop. The fire was lit as part of a celebratory gathering on 24th October.
New Craftsman proudly continues to be the Leach Pottery's nominated town centre stockist of the new Leach Tableware. Handmade and fired in St Ives, each piece is made with local clay and is designed for function and beauty. Available throughout the year.
Announcing our 2015 Exhibition Programme
Our 2015 exhibitions schedule includes painting, studio ceramics, sculpture and handmade jewellery by Cornwall and the UKs leading contemporary artists and craftspeople. Watch this space for news on shows by Emma Jeffryes, Cristina Zani, Dylan Bowen, Derya Erdem, Emma Williams, Hilary Mayo, Neil Davies, Tanya Gomez, Lawrence Murley, Jack Doherty, Colin Orchard, Guy Royle and Cornelius Jacob van Dop.

Results tagged ' Kris Bryant '
9/1 Minor matters – Monday's games
* Iowa romped 11-0 over Oklahoma City to finish its season, 74-70. Dae-Eun Rhee tied his career-high with 11 strikeouts over seven shutout innings. David Bote hit a two-run single, and Ryan Kalish and Eli Whiteside each hit two-run doubles. Kalish finished with four hits and three RBIs. Kris Bryant went 1-for-4 with an RBI and team-best three runs scored in his final game. Bryant's 43 home runs on the season lead all of Minor League baseball. He is vying to become the second Cub in the last four years to accomplish that feat. Bryan LaHair hit a Minor League-best 38 in 2011. This is Iowa's first winning season since 2010.
* Double-A Tennessee closed its season with a 5-1 loss Monday to Chattanooga. Dustin Geiger drove in the Smokies' only run in the seventh when he drew a bases-loaded walk.
8/29 Bryant to finish season at Iowa
Cubs fans eager to see Kris Bryant in the same lineup as Javier Baez, Jorge Soler, Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro will have to wait. GM manager Jed Hoyer repeated that Bryant, the No. 1 prospect on MLB.com's top 20 list, will finish his season at Triple-A Iowa and not be one of the players added when big league rosters expand on Monday.
Hoyer would not say which players will be called up. Iowa has four regular season games remaining and has a chance to make the playoffs.
Bryant, 22, batted .355 with 22 home runs and 20 doubles at Double-A Tennessee, and was batting .300 with 21 homers and 14 doubles in 66 games at Iowa. The second player taken overall in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, he is not on the Cubs' 40-man roster.
"He's not on the roster, so right away [if he was called up] that would knock off another player off the roster," Hoyer said Friday. "We're going to be really tight with the roster, and we know that. We feel in his first full season, he's going to get 140 plus games, he's played exceptionally well — nothing has changed on that front [as far as calling him up]."
The fact that Bryant has done so well in his first year of professional baseball has made Cubs fans giddy about the prospect of seeing the third baseman at Wrigley Field.
"The most impressive thing about his season has been the consistency," Hoyer said. "The slumps have been really quick. He deserves a lot of credit for being able to make adjustments quickly. I think he's very level-headed as a person. He doesn't get too down.
"We've never waivered on [the decision to leave him in the Minors]," Hoyer said. "We feel it's the right thing for him — first full season, not on the roster, and we'll enjoy the guys we have up here now."
Are the Cubs hesitating to avoid starting the clock on Bryant's service time? Hoyer said that wasn't a factor.
"That's not the reason or a concern," he said.

8/27 Minor matters – Tuesday's games
Tacoma beat Iowa, 5-3, on Tuesday, but the I-Cubs playoff hopes are still alive. Omaha lost Tuesday, but Oklahoma City won to take over sole possession of first in the American Northern Division. With five games left to play, the Cubs are four games behind the RedHawks. The I-Cubs and RedHawks play head-to-head for the final four games of the regular season, starting on Friday night at Principal Park in Des Moines.
On Tuesday, Kris Bryant hit a RBI single in the first, but that was the only run off spot-starter Andrew Carraway through five innings. Carraway (8-5) was a last minute replacement when scheduled starter Erasmo Ramirez was scratched. Dan Straily (7-8) took the loss after giving up five runs (four earned) on 10 hits, three walks over five innings. He struck out six.
Junior Lake hit a two-run homer in the eighth, and doubled in the sixth. He has scored at least one run in seven straight games. Brian Schlitter worked one scoreless inning in relief and Jeff Antigua finished with two scoreless innings for the I-Cubs.
Dae-Eun Rhee gets the start in the series finale on Wednesday.
8/25 Minor matters – Sunday's games
Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler both homered but it wasn't enough as Iowa lost, 5-4, to Tacoma in 14 innings for its ninth loss in the last 10 games. Bryant connected in the first inning with a two-run homer, his 43rd of the season in the Minor Leagues. Soler went 3-for-5 with a solo shot in the seventh. Dallas Beeler started, and threw six shutout innings.
Felix Doubront gave up three earned runs over 4 1/3 innings in Tennessee's 9-7 loss to Jacksonville. Doubront walked three and struck out five in his rehab start. Addison Russell had two hits, including a two-run home run in the ninth. Pin-Chieh Chen had four hits and Lars Anderson had three.
Kyle Schwarber hit two home runs to help Daytona beat Lakeland, 7-1. Schwarber finished with three RBIs, and was batting .314. Tayler Scott got the win, giving up one run over five innings. Billy McKinney had two hits.
Daury Torrez gave up two unearned runs over five innings in Kane County's 2-1 loss to Burlington. Carlos Penalver had two hits, including a double.
Boise had the day off, and resumes play Monday against Everett.
Mesa totaled two hits in a 5-1 loss to the Angels.
8/21 Minor matters – Wednesday's games
Kris Bryant hit his 19th home run but it wasn't enough as Iowa lost, 11-4, to Reno. Eric Jokisch gave up four earned runs over five innings. Bryant finished with two hits and two RBI. Manny Ramirez hit his second double this season, and Rafael Lopez added a triple. Jokisch's loss snapped a string of four straight quality starts.
Addison Russell hit his third homer in as many games, a two-run shot in the first, to help Tennessee beat Montgomery, 4-1. Russell is 9-for-23 with three homers in his last five games.
Eduardo Figueroa gave up five runs over four innings in Daytona's 7-3 loss to Clearwater. Marco Hernandez had two hits and one RBI. Kyle Schwarber extended his hit streak to seven games.
Kane County tied a franchise record for home wins with its 50th as Jeffrey Baez homered in a 7-3 win over Burlington. Baez finished with two hits.
Jake Stinnett struck out four over 2 2/3 innings in Boise's 4-1 win over Vancouver. Bryant Flete and Mark Malave each singled, doubled and scored twice.
Mesa had Wednesday off, and returns to action Thursday against the D-Backs.
8/19 Bryant 1-for-3 with Iowa
Kris Bryant returned to Triple-A Iowa's lineup on Tuesday, his first game back since Saturday, and went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. Bryant was sidelined with a bruise on his left foot, which forced him out of Saturday's game. He had X-rays Saturday night and an MRI on Sunday, which revealed the contusion. On Monday, Bryant was used as a pinch-hitter and drew a walk, but was lifted for a pinch-runner. Bryant is tied with Rangers prospect and close friend Joey Gallo for first in the Minor Leagues with 40 homers each this season. Bryant was batting .306 with 18 home runs, 13 doubles and 45 RBIs at Iowa. He hit 22 homers at Double-A Tennessee.
8/18 Kris Bryant update
Kris Bryant did pinch-hit on Monday for Triple-A Iowa, his first game since leaving Saturday's game with a bruised left foot. He drew a walk in the eighth inning, and then was lifted for a pinch-runner on Monday.
8/17 Kris Bryant update
Kris Bryant has a contusion on his left foot and his status is day to day. There is no time frame for his return. Bryant apparently fouled a ball off his left foot a few days ago, and aggravated it on Saturday in the first inning when he drew a walk in a game in Des Moines.
– Carrie Muskat
8/17 Kris Bryant update
Kris Bryant was undergoing an MRI on his left big toe on Sunday in Des Moines. Bryant had to come out of Saturday's game because of some discomfort. He apparently injured his toe a couple days ago, and aggravated it on Saturday. An X-ray taken Saturday was inconclusive.
– Carrie Muskat
8/16 Kris Bryant – UPDATED
Top prospect Kris Bryant left Saturday night's Triple-A Iowa game in the third inning with a minor foot injury, and was taken to a Des Moines hospital for X-rays, which were inconclusive. A Cubs spokesman said Bryant was to undergo an MRI on his left big toe on Sunday. He apparently aggravated a minor foot injury suffered a few days ago.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
The current Icograda poll asks:
"Do designers design their websites to inform and invite clients,
or do they simply design them to impress their peers?"
The current numbers are:
Inform: 11%
Attract clients: 36%
Impress their peers: 56%
Maybe because designers are simply not that valuable in society?
Y'no in our studio we were discussing that very fact the other day. We like to think of ourselves as secretive, very secretive, in fact the name of the studio is one no one, not even long-standing clients remember or can spell. Anywho, point is we're not into navel-gazing, and took our site down after we noticed a familiar IP # snooping around the portfolio and informative strategy pages we had with messaging matrix tables, ect. days before a major proposal was due in town. We already knew they were bidding and found it suspicious.
Perhaps one should ask how often do you check out your peers as well.
Trying to impress your peers isn't always such a bad idea, since design firms tend to hire each quite frequently when they have excess work and tight deadlines.
In many cases, I'd rather do well-paid work for another design firm that understands the project and the medium, than for a clueless client who refuses to communicate well or let me educate him.
In my experience at least, not much work comes from regular clients who see the designer's website. In most cases, one gets jobs through footwork and personal connections. A lot of successful design firms don't even have websites up.
I'm talking about regular graphic design of course, and not type design.
perhaps we're not that valuable to the *web* society. if we're all flexing muscles on websites how relevant is that to medium...I'd say not much.
forums and experiments sure - but a commercial site is almost redundant or even pass
> a commercial site is almost redundant or even pass
even ignoring dynamic web content that is becoming increasingly sophisticated and useful, not having a site at all is becoming more than a competitive disadvantage, it's a liability; some people (ahem) live and die by the web, make their appointments to the vet based on what comes up in a google search, and even if it means impressing peers in the process my humble opinion is it's lazy not to have something up, even if it's just a page with your details: )
When I was a student I did quite a few so-called
yes I agree with Keith.
my point before being that an online representation of design work (unless its web design) seems like fluff to the entire basis and background of the internet. Sure yes, some people are bound to it. I was one of them during my telecommuting stint...but I don't need a site for that.
I donno, I'm starting to hate the net more and more because people are proliferating it with junk. I don't think a design portfolio belongs on the net , its a matter of relevance (yes I'm a hypocrite and have one, its very old, never seen and coming down)...but unless your offering those pictures in part with Case studies/forums or experiments, there's hardly a point. A liability....umm I'm sure it depends what business your in and where.
I guess my analogy here is that a commercial site seems like what a commercial is to television, and they just keep playing more and more and interrupt the show more frequently. Its cheap.
Good points, Tanya.
Funny thing is, when I became a designer, I was mostly interested in Web and Flash design. But the more I've learnt over the years, the more I've come to prefer print design (and more recently, type design).
The signal-to-noise ratio is way too low out there. Typographi.ca is like a haven.
hey now, i like your site, tanya: )
when i read the question "do designers design their websites ...to impress their peers?" i assumed design could mean both web and print design, web design in particular obviously being valuable to demonstrate on the web; my opinion (which goes hand in hand with some other opinions about popup windows) comes from having gotten a convincable amount of contracts/jobs/random interviews based on a humble web/print design portfolio website which i only pay 5$ CAD a month for, which doesn't popup or bother anybody but which does provide samples and contact info; better and better web content is of course always ideal; having said that i also prefer print design: )
>Maybe because designers are simply not that valuable in society?
Perhaps I'm taking this comment out of context considering people are talking about portfolio sites, but here's a url that came up on a listserv today http://www.designfortheworld.org
>But why would you question a design portfolio on the web? I've landed many job interviews from my personal site
> Further, why would you question a designers
> motives for wanting to create a great site
> -- even if the underlying motive is to
> one-up his/her peers?
Simple: It's the wrong target audience. Not always, I guess, but usually.
If you manage to impress your peers without reducing the true effectiveness of the piece, then great - but usually it translates to gratuitous, dysfunctional showiness.
hey micheal I just read the listserv and saw that. Those kinds of initiatives speak to the underlying altruism (?) in which I expect design to be an issue.
There's that weird line where in the end the issues of design lay in the hands of those who aren't consiously promoting design, ever. Its that intuition past through the heart by the palpatating left ventrical...or something or other.
To be fair, here are the final results:
To inform: 52%
To attract clients: 13%
To impress their peers: 38%
Or was it you guys who skewed the results? ;-)
Some interesting points. Yes, the web has moved
beyond the brochure-ware of 1997 era sites.
But why would you question a design portfolio on the
web? I've landed many job interviews from my personal
site. It doesn't replace a physical portfolio, but it's been
invaluable. No, nobody goes to my site on their own
and says, 'we want to interview you.' It's me sending an
email cover letter and finishing it with a URL. In the end,
it's a fairly easy way to 'prequalify.'
Further, why would you question a designers motives
for wanting to create a great site -- even if the
underlying motive is to one-up his/her peers? It's not
about showing off. It's about getting noticed; the same
reasons we have design contests. Of course, in the
end, it's about communicating who you are, which
comes across, not only through the work you show,
but the way you show it.

Iris's Have Reverted to all Blue
My mother has grown Iris's with great luck until the past year.
She had about 20 different colors and this year they all came up blue.
The only thing that she did different was this year she put some Epsom Salts on them. No weed killer or pest poisons does she use. She is a totally organic person when it comes to her plants.
They are all grown with a spacing of about 3 feet between the different colors. She divides them before they even think about becoming crowded.
Can anyone posiably tell me what could have happened before she tears them up and tosses them to the roadside? Is there a way to bring back the original colors that they were or do you feel as though they are lost. In all honesty I do not remember a blue of any kind in her collection.
Thank you all well in advance for any help you can give me to pass on to my mother as her flower beds are her joy and this is not something she needs in her later years.
Iris do not revert or change color.
Might what to read the FAQ for some answers.
Here is a link that might be useful: My purple iris turned white! Why did my irises change color?
Epsom salts is magnesium. It is common ingredient in fertilizers and won't completely change a plant's flower color though it can help the plant absorb other minerals that sometimes might intensify some colors or slightly modify tones.
As stated above, iris can't completely change color. They can, very rarely, grow a "sport" rhizome of a different color.
It is more likely that some rhizomes of a blue color iris were intermixed with the others, that the blue did not bloom previously but that is the only one that bloomed this year.
