Alot of stirght guys have earrings,nip rings, c☺ck rings, and facial percings...Why dont guys have bellybutton rings
Some do....I have a friend who is a straight, married guy and has his belly button pierced.
Women have bb rings because they often show their middle but not their nipples in public. Men just show off our pierced nipples.
because it looks silly on a guy.
I used to have earings but not anymore... I was the kid who started smoking at 16 and lived at the YMCA for three years so I'm no role model... then again I turned out ok...
no.... I don't even like the idea of getting poked in the belly button... and besides women have superior accesory rights...
I wonder what they will look like in saaay......30 years?
I'm happy to have no rings.
people doing all kinds crazy pearcings man and woman. i hate those ear rings were they streach out the ear lobes!!!! sick ****!
If a person wants their ear lobes stretched out, that's fine. Personally that's not for me. I'll stick with loops on my ears.
I think our belly get a bit fat for them.
i have a bellybutton ring
I have mine done and my wife says it looks cute!

Comment: Re:it could have been an accident (Score 1) 708
So can unarmed passengers. And unarmed passengers have swarmed hijackers and taken them down. The hijackers' weapons (knives) are useless if dozens of people jump them. The doors didn't save the planes, the people did. And recall, the one plane on 9-11 that didn't kill people on the ground was the one the passengers fought back on. If they'd done it earlier, they may have lived. Dunno. But sitting still doesn't help at all. And armed passengers would shoot holes in the fuselage and other passengers, and in the melee the plane may crash. Use your hands. Can't blow out the pressure with your hands.
Numbers win against guns, if people know they will die if they don't fight. Best thing to stop a gun-toting idiot menacing a crowd? Crowd jumps him.Works every time. You personally can't, but three dozen of you can. Go for the guns first, grab those lovingly polished killing machines by the barrels and push them up/down and out of line, grab the hands, then his arms, and then pinch his corneas really hard and rip them out. He'll have second thoughts after that. Then kill him at your leisure. Or you can get really a good communal grip and rip his arms off. Or snap his neck. So many ways to make him stop dreaming of killing with his penis enhancing boom stick. Think communist Batman. Batman has the strength of one supremely trained indvidual, but you all have the strength of three dozen fat people who are REALLY scared and TOTALLY pissed.

ABC/Randy Holmes(NEW YORK) — Filming on the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie has been delayed until mid-April due to star Johnny Depp's recent hand injury.
An ABC Radio source previously confirmed that Depp injured his hand about a month ago in Australia, where he's filming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. He was expected to undergo surgery in the United States.
The Hollywood Reporter now says that shooting has been halted until around April 15. The delay was initially expected to last two weeks.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, about half of the film's estimated 400 crew members were told last Thursday there would be no more work for at least two weeks.
A spokesman for the film tells The Hollywood Reporter the resumption of filming depends on Depp's recuperation. Approximately 14 weeks of shooting remain on the production.
Depp will reprise his role of Jack Sparrow in the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, which is still scheduled to be released by Disney on July 7, 2017.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

1/4 Hanger 9 super Cub, G26, Floats, RTF
I hate to sell this but funds for a real cub are forcing me to. This is a Hanger 9 1/4 scale 100" wingspan super cub. I bought this about 5 months ago from a lady who's husband had passed away. He never flew it or ran it. Since buying it I've only had 4 flights on it. I've been getting my real license so I haven't made it to the field much at all this summer. It has a Zenoah G26 motor that runs GREAT! I also have a Brand new set of Hanger 9 floats for it. They are 99% built just need to be bolted on the plane. Each float has its own JR rudder servo. It has JR nes-537 servo's all around including ailerons and flaps. Also included is the JR 1400mah receiver battery and a Voltwatch. The plane flys like a dream and with the flaps you can slow it down to a crawl. I had the 1/4 j-3 cub from hanger 9 also and this flys a TON better with the flaps and bigger motor. The only thing added to the plane was a set of the Dubro inflatable bush plane wheels. Also have extra props that were included with the plane when I originaly bought it. Also included are the wing struts which aren't shown in the pictures. I have the original wheels, all the hardware for the floats is included as well. Just add your receiver and FLY! Asking price $950 plus shipping. I don't want to ship unless the buyer arranges for someone to pack it up(like the ups store). I don't want to be responsible for packing up something this big. Could possibly ship via Greyhound. I travel to detroit and chicago almost weekly so I am willing to meet up somewhere. I have a 1000+ positive feedback on Ebay so no worries on a non face to face transaction. Plane located in Kalamazoo MI. Email with questions or if you need more pics. Will consider trades for 3d planes or EDF's

How do you apply a Design Seed palette to a room?
In my living room thread, people are suggesting some color combinations from Design Seed palettes.
I'm wondering - once we decide on one, how do we find items that have those colors? The colors on the palettes are just RGB color values - they don't have names.
Did you use one of the palettes for inspiration?
How hard was it to find items in the right colors?
How close did you stick to the palette?
I would use it for inspiration...as a way of putting color combos together or looking at what accent colors may work with a main color or two. I don't think it's necessary to stick to exactly the colors...it would be hard to do as the colors on screen wouldn't always match a paint pigment. Further, you may find accessories for the room that you like that are in a similar color way but not exact. So give yourself freedom to work with what you might have or can get.

Thanks Annie. Your top example is particularly interesting to me because a color palette I'm thinking of using is Lotus Color (which is quite a bit bolder than what I've used before). While I like the magenta color in it, I wasn't sure how it would look in the room. I like the way the similar color worked out in that room.
If you want your room more restful, you can use those bolder colors as accents against a neutral background.
Traditional Living Room by Nashville Interior Designers & Decorators Marcelle Guilbeau, Interior Designer
Or you could go more contemporary and vibrant
Modern Living Room by Los Angeles Photographers Erika Bierman Photography
I'm thinking of going in between the two. The family room is pretty restful so this doesn't have to be far in that direction as the first example. And the house is MCM so I'm going for contemporary but not as super charged as the second.
The green tone is already in the tile in the entry to the area and on the fireplace and the brown is close to the built in book case wood tones.
We will probably keep the walls and the carpet as a more neutral background.
I'm thinking of using the dark teal color for the couch and possibly on some of the other seating. Then using the magenta/purple tone for accessories and possibly a chair or two. Probably pull in the green the light blue for some accessories. The brown might show up in some of the tables.
LOL, Lynn...I know exactly what you mean! I find that site so much fun to just browse. I just wish there was a search function on color name like green or gray.
cloud swift, the colors are great for an MCM look...should be fun.
One thing I noticed when playing with the rooms and colors is how different they can look from each other as design seeds uses evenly sized color swatches, but in the rooms, a specific color can be a main color or an accent. How the colors are used really plays a role in the overall look.
Tuesday, so glad you find this helpful. I find it so much fun, I better start a new thread....
Here's another example:
Extremely bright colors in this pic:
But think of it as a picture on the wall. You can go bright and vibrant:
Contemporary Living Room by North Vancouver Interior Designers & Decorators Maria Killam
or subdue it with neutral walls
Contemporary Living Room by San Francisco Interior Designers & Decorators Amoroso Design
And it's so interesting to me to see how the bright room looks more traditional in architecture yet the colors make it more contemporary...the subdued room is more contemporary in its bones, but made warmer by the softer color palette.
Yes, Annie, I noticed that too. It shows up in the very first picture. I'm really enjoying your the responses to this thread - seeing the examples is very educational on the use of color.
It's fine with me if you continue in this thread unless you think it would be better under a different subject line.
OT but.... driving me crazy - 3rd one down - is that a cat, dog, wolf??? I see what appears to be an ear but can't make out eyes, nose, paws. Twisting my head every which way. Stupid for me to waste time on this but it is, like I said, driving me crazy LOL. Does anyone see it?
It is a cat I think. It is curled up so that its head is resting on its body. It's eye is almost closed at about the center of the picture with the nose and mouth above it. I think that the front leg is curled around the body next to the top of the head and the hind legs are heading out the left side of the bottom of the picture. The other front leg, paws and tail aren't shown - either under the body or out of the frame.
Lynn, it's a cat...they like to curl up sleeping and sometimes turn their head upside down...
Thanks, cloud swift...I'll keep posting here then.
I appreciate the kind words. Yes I do it by eye, but it's very easy. Sometimes I start with a room and find a color and search on design seeds for that color and see what shows up. Sometimes I start with design seeds and search on houzz for a color name and see what shows up....I have one on one side of my screen and the other on the other and play back and forth. It's so much fun!
Here's a real coastal look:
But the room is anything but....you can use the color inspiration to create the style and purpose of room you want. All you need do is like the colors. This bedroom is just luscious. I especially like the use of the scrim to create a "wall" between the sleeping side and the functional areas of the master suite.
Traditional Bedroom by Miami Interior Designers & Decorators Causa Design Group
cloud and annie, I suspected a cat, our "Baby Cat" is also long haired but aside from the ear I couldn't find the other parts, nose, mouth etc. Get it now. One problem I can scratch off my list. Ha, the list that is filled with yucky stuff that has to be done and fun stuff that MUST be done. Guess which tends to come first. Thanks again.
Another way to use design seeds is to help you decide colors to build off of something already existing.
I usually use fabrics as a way of developing a color scheme as fabrics speak to me. But in my laundry room, there really is no fabric. I had seen a room in a decorator show house years ago where they used a heather color as an accent and I loved it. I wanted it in my house so the laundry room it was.
But what to put with it? That's where design seeds lends a hand. I haven't actually implemented it yet but it gives me a great color palette to go to for colors in the room...

Red white and blue is easy, but effective nontheless.
Traditional Living Room by Santa Ana Interior Designers & Decorators Darci Goodman Design
To exercise your creativity, as you scroll through the thread, look at the inspiration picture first and then try to imagine what room you would build around those colors and how you might do it...which colors might you emphasize...which might you delete. Think about what room it would be...can you take a coastal look and make it traditional? can you take "bedroom" colors and make it work for a living room or an exterior? Then look at the room posted and see if it is anything like you'd imagined. Look at the way the decorator has selected and balanced the colors around the room and all the surfaces which have color including floors, ceiling tchotchkes, artwork, fabrics, furnishings, trim and even flowers in the space. Notice how accessories can be deployed to fundamentally change the look of a neutral background.
These kinds of exercises can help train your eye to see the details in the room, and can give you ideas on how you can work a color scheme in your own rooms.
I think that because the red has a bit of orange rather than being a pure primary, that room doesn't come off a a trite red white and blue. That's a very nice shade of blue too. That room and the ice cream room are my favorites so far.
I think I'm ready to do some bolder colors than I have in the past. I'm still struggling a bit on how far to take it. Part of me wants to paint the fireplace something saturated and part says keep it more a neutral background leaving the bold colors to the furniture and accessories like those two rooms.
Now play with the reverse. Here is a very nice and pretty colored kitchen.
Traditional Kitchen by Seattle Architects & Designers David Neiman Architects
But can it be jazzed up with some additional color? What color or colors would you use? Here are some design seeds inspirations...think about how you might add an additional layer of color in this space. Think about window treatments, area rugs, changing light fixtures, adding accessories to the counter or swapping out displayed dishes in the glass-fronted cabinet, paint the ceiling a color. Then you can think about doing the same in your own rooms.
Would you add blue?
Deep coral or rust?
Thanks, williamsem! That's a great resource!

I see the gal running Design Seeds is now opening up a store with her stuff. She's starting to sell prints, greeting cards, mobile device covers. I also see that she's got a search by color name on her Fresh Hues site.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fresh Hues Blog
There have also been a number of questions here and in the building and paint forums about how to coordinate colors among say main floor rooms that open to each other? I think design seeds color palettes can help here too. For instance,

I'm still a total color boob, but I try. As much as I love colors and playing with them, I still struggle with keeping these straight in my head.
I will frequently call them all teal, which they are not. Sort of like having a mental block when it comes to spelling a particular word or remembering if someone's name is Eileen or Elaine which I also always screw up. Go figure.

Anne, thanks for continuing this. I think I'm learning a lot about the application of color by watching this thread. I've known for a long time that what a color is paired with makes a big difference in perception of the color, but one thing I've learned from these pictures is how the amount of each color changes the feel.
I find that I'm usually more drawn to the pictures where there are small to moderate amounts of strong colors with a background of more neutral or restful ones.
Oooh I love this thread!
Annie if I post a picture of fabric that I want to use can you find a design seed for it? The main colors are yellow, green, and blue with a few specs of brown. I am looking for a leather sofa with a brown that is in the fabric but I think I need one more color to use in a rug.
Yes, cloud-swift...the stronger and brighter the color is, the less of it is needed to have an impact in the room. The more neutral the background, the less you'll need of the bright color to make it pop.
I was just watching a Sarah's house with her farmhouse kitchen...the room reads yellow, but there was actually very little of it used...the island, some accents and in the drapery fabric.
Today's design seed...warm and woodsy.

Oh good grief, sorry for all the spelling errors. I was in such a hurry to post that I didn't re-read. I wish this darn iPad would stop auto correcting. The print is for two chairs and the yellow for an ottoman. After I decide on the sofa and get that and the two chairs ordered I will be adding a third chair for the other corner of our room. I was thinking about picking one of the lighter brown tones in the fabric for leather but wonder if a dark blue might work? Thanks for your input.
Holly-kay, such lovely fabric. I really like it. I don't think you need a design seed...you already have many lovely colors to choose from in the fabric.
I would probably go with the dark brown for the sofa only because I expect it will last much longer than this room's decor, and a classic dark brown leather sofa will work in many room colors and styles to come.
Have you bought the fabric for the ottoman yet? I hope not, but sorry, I don't think it's a good match for the fabric...at least in the photo it has too much peach undertone and is too bright. Especially since, I'm assuming, it will be parked right next to the chairs, you need for it to be a really close match. The closer the proximity of the items, the more important a color match is. Also, a lighter solid will likely show dirt more than a darker fabric or one with some pattern.
I'm posting fabric suggestions from calico corners only because I find their website easy to search...but these are just to give you ideas of what might work. Instead of just solids, you might consider playing with some geometric prints or stripes or dots. So long as they are not similar in scale, they will work with your print. Also, these are just for color...I didn't look at fabric weight or fiber content to see if it would be good for furnishings.
Note that I'm leaning toward the predominant colors in the fabric....save the lovely pale yellow and the soft flesh colors for accent pieces in the room, and keep the furnishings blending better with the soft blues, grays and sage greens.
Not having seen the room, it's hard to say, but there may be a lot of print if you do 2 chairs in the print. You may want to do one chair in the print, one in the coordinating fabric with a matching ottoman...that way the ottoman will work with both chairs.
Or you may want your furnishings to be more solid and let the print speak through window treatments and throw pillows.

Annie, thank you so much! I love all the fabrics you suggested. Yes the ottoman would be in front of the chairs. The room is over twenty three feet long but a touch under 15 wide. I will be doing another chair in the room also but I have felt so overwhelmed with all the choices. Maybe I should do only the corner chair in the print but I wasn't ready to make that choice yet.
It is difficult to pull the trigger on upholstery because DH is so hard on furniture that is why I am going with a leather sofa. I also considered doing the corner chair in leather but want to add texture to the room.
I'll keep looking!
Annie, I just looked at the photos I posted again. Man the colors on my monitor do no justice to the print fabric. The yellow tone on tone fabric looks very much the same as the monitor shows IRL.
The blues and greens in the print are a bit more vivid IRL but the background reads more cream than the photo shows. The fabric is a Smith Brothers fabric and I found some stripes and solids that would work with the print. I usually go with neutrals and just pops of color in accessories but this fabric just called to me and I love it.
I agree that one chair in this print would give me the pop of color that I need but I am having a tough time finding a solid fabric that I like. The last time I purchased new lr furniture was almost 18 years ago and everything was leather in a creamy beige. My furniture is looking very shabby so I really need to get this done.
I will be 60 this month so I really want something that I love this time around as it may be my last decorating project for a living room. I will post some pics tonight of the room.
23 by 15 is a fairly large living room. I think two chairs in the print would be fine for that sized room. It's about the same size as ours and two print chairs are a pretty small piece of the room.
Some of the photos above have two bright or print chairs in a more neutral background including the first one above which has two in a bright magenta print.
Cloud, I love the magenta printed chairs! They are gorgeous.
I know what I like when I see it and this fabric just popped for me. The room is being painted Jersey Cream but if it is too bright or too yellow I will have the painter redo it for me.
So if I did two accent chairs in the fabric and a tufted leather sofa I will do another chair in either leather or fabric. Annie, Kellie, and Cloud any suggestions as to fabric or leather, and if fabric would a stripe be too much or should I stick with a solid?
I worry about using too many patterns as I want a peaceful looking room.
I also need a new coffee/cocktail table and was thinking a leather tufted ottoman would be just the ticket but DH clutters everything to the hilt so I was considering a lift top table that has a lot of space to stow his collection of papers and magazines and also give him a place that he can comfortably use his laptop. I really don't like the look of them at all but found one in a Paula Deen collection that is not too bad.
You people are killing me. I am glued to the computer already with the Design Seeds and now you throw in a colorpedia! Too cruel.
Annie, I don't know what you do for a living, but Pantone should be knocking at your door. You have truly graced us all with your talent. I have learned more about color on this particular thread then, well, ever. Thank you for all you are doing.
Thank you all for the kind words. I'm retired now, and made my living doing nothing that had anything to do with interior design...
Holly, pretty room. As you're picking out furniture, keep a eye to scale. For example, the side table by the sofa is very high relative to the height of the arm. Also the sofa and leather chair are very modern compared to the more traditional pieces in the room.
Think too about what storage you need to accommodate your husbands needs...to make the room work for him, he may want a "command center" with table surface on either side of his chair.
I'm guessing that traditional is where you'd like to go, given the DR chairs and the case pieces and window treatments. I would definitely do the 3rd chair in fabric for color and comfort....just make sure it's a durable one and you should be ok.
Thanks Annie, and yes you are right, My decorating style definitely is traditional. I actually just moved the chest there. Before I moved the recliners from the library I had a matching leather love seat there and I had the chest beside the love seat with the back of the chest against the side of the love seat. When I put it there I knew it was too high to be comfortably useful. I told the decorator from Ethan Allen that it was too high to be used there and she disagreed with me and said that high chests are being shown as end tables. I didn't argue with her but I knew it wouldn't work long term in that location. I am glad you agree with me.
I am so anxious to get the room done as it has been stressful and not at all fun like I imagined it would be.
The painter has more of the walls to do andi am not overly fond of the Jersey Cream. I should have gone with a darker color to make the room appear more cozy.
What a fascinating thread. I'm now looking at my own rooms and imagining what the color palette would be and wondering how well the colors compliment each other.
For some reason I was born without the gene for color selection and I can't dance either. True confession. However I was gifted with a talent for organization. I can retrieve an owner's manual for any item we own in minutes or tell you how much we paid for my Kitchen Aid mixer we bought in 1976 ($164.69). Whoopee.
Selecting paint stops me cold so if it were up to me everything would be beige or variations of it. Fortunately DH has talent in that area and has the confidence to select stronger colors.
This thread offers inspiration to finish the guest room. DD painted the walls Moonshine (a pale buttery vanilla), the trim is MAB bone white, the furniture is dark mahogany, the bed has a white matelasse coverlet. It's a corner room which is light-filled all day but needs something on the windows, an area rug and the other touches that signify a cohesive design.
Looking at the Design Seeds website is nice but seeing those colors used in real rooms a la Annie is what I needed.
Now that we're empty nesters I have 3 more bedrooms that to be refreshed. What would be the best way to save your examples for future reference?
You have no idea how much this has halped. Thank you.....thank you.

Oh don't get me started on EA decorators...GF was working with one (without me) and now we are trying to get them to take a rug back and she's got yards of very expensive fabric that she doesn't like....I'm sure some of them can be very good, but, like anything else, they vary in taste and ability, and then you're stuck.
I recently repainted my bedroom because the original color was too cold. The new color has a warmer undertone so I'm much happier...though it looks like the same color in the sunlight. Someone walking into the room wouldn't notice the difference, but the feel of it is significantly different.
Today's design seed:
Been awhile since I posted a kitchen...
Traditional Kitchen by Boston Interior Designers & Decorators Mosaic Loft
a very different feel from this kitchen...
Contemporary Kitchen by Mill Valley Architects & Designers Mahoney Architects & Interiors
though it certainly can make for a warm living room
Transitional Bedroom by Minneapolis Interior Designers & Decorators Martha O'Hara Interiors
or a handsome bedroom
Bedroom by Tampa Interior Designers & Decorators Design Bee
throw in a dining room, and you again have a nice theme for coordinating the rooms in your home without resorting to "boring beige."
Modern Dining Room by Brooklyn Architects & Designers CWB Architects
Annie, I think it is such a shame that EA has lost their good reputation. I ordered 4 Renee side chairs and I am hoping they arrive in good shape. I also am having them do my kitchen window but holy cow that is one expensive window treatment. I personally like my designer but she wanted 3 different patterns for chairs another pattern for drapes and 2 other pillow fabrics. At least she chose a solid sofa even if it was paprika in color. Honestly I think everything would have been lovely but not at all to my taste.My house would have been so busy that I would have felt stressed just being in a room with all that pattern going on, and bright green walls to top it all off. I decided that I would be better off trying to do this myself as I don't think she had a clue what I wanted. I am just about paralyzed with so many choices and I am totally overwhelmed. I may just order my leather sofa, keep the recliners from the library and call it a day.
Maybe you just need to take smaller steps....you have time. You don't need to decide everything at once...just take steps when you're ready. But when dealing with EA, make sure you retain control....otherwise, you'll end up with stuff you don't like and an empty bank account.
GF bought this fabric to redo an old sofa and she paid EA over $40/yd for it. I took her to a fabric outlet and we found the exact same fabric for $18/yd!
Annie and Cloud, I too just found this board.
Annie, you have an amazing talent! I love what you pull together and how your eye picks out and applies the color schemes.
I wonder if the PTB here might sticky this thread. It's so educational and interesting.
I'm going to go play with the links and try to apply some of my choices now.
Geesh, that is quite a difference. I decided days ago that I don't want to continue with EA. I like the designer but I could buy a new car for what she was suggesting I do with the room and the price of the drapes was ridiculous. I also don't want to feel like I am living in a pumpkin patch.
Today's design seed
It was hard to find a pic that coordinates well as, as soon as someone does a soft color scheme, they seem to want to "pop" it with bright. Instead, by keeping the accent colors softer, it makes for a more relaxing space, but still interesting.
Contemporary Bedroom by Minneapolis Interior Designers & Decorators RLH Studio
Here is a similar color scheme, but note how the bright rug and throw changes the entire energy of the space.
Contemporary Bedroom by San Francisco General Contractors Cardea Building Co.
In my book Phoebe Howard is a master of soft colors.
Today's design seed: Don't normally think of gold and silver together or the hardness of metals, but it can create a very soothing color palette.
Traditional Bedroom by Austin Architects & Designers Hugh Jefferson Randolph Architects
Contemporary Bedroom by Glasgow Interior Designers & Decorators The Couture Rooms
I think the use of color combination will look great together or looking at what accent colors may work with a main color or two. I don't think it's necessary to stick to exactly the colors. Usin various home accessories with the color will give best look.
Annie, lovely color seed for today. Those are colors I've been working with lately, so immediately went to my idea book and there they were. I'm catching on as to how you "see" this. Now I just wish that I could take these seeds and know exactly where my balance point is, in terms of how much of each color to use. I'm afraid that I have a tendency to balance it all equally, which is Disastrous!
Traditional Living Room by Chicago Interior Designers & Decorators Tom Stringer Design Partners
Contemporary Living Room by Marshfield Interior Designers & Decorators Stacy Curran
I would think it would be very hard to balance color equally in a room. Just naturally each room has different areas of different sizes that will break up a color scheme into component parts. A pillow is smaller than a sofa which is smaller than a wall. Each item also has a different visual plane...we see the tops of tables, but the sides of chairs.
Purposely select a main color, a secondary color and then an accent color to use in the room. Main color can be floors or walls, secondary can be furnishings and drapes, accent can be lamps, art, pillows. This is not strict, but as a first step to help you think purposely about where and how to use color in a room.
You can practice yourself by, for example, looking at the design seeds up thread where I posted the kitchen that could use more color...what color would you add, and where would you put it?
Or up thread is a gray and pink color scheme where I posted the walls only. Think about how you would finish that room...how and where would you use more color and in what shades? Would you add an accent color? If so, what color and on what items.
Another exercise would be to look at a room where you like the main color but dislike the accent color. What color would you select, then look at all the things you'd have to change in the room to eliminate the bad and replace it with the good. That will give you a sense of how that decorator used the color.
Also, a lot of the rooms that I coordinate with the design seeds don't have all the colors or aren't in exactly the right shades. Think about swapping out some colors in the room with others in the seed palette...what would you have to change in the room to accomplish that?
It's really just a matter of turning your attention to the issue and training your eye to see the detail.
Also Stacy & Clinton's outfit advice applies to a room as well. You need color, pattern, texture and shine.
Today's design seed it tomato based
Not my favorite color and one I'd never think of decorating with...and yet when you play with how to apply it and blend it with other colors, you can get some very interesting results across a wide variety of styles.

GREAT THREAD, what a good read! I find it hard to find the color first, so I browse a lot of Pinterest photos. Then when I find the one with the right 'feel' I can look up the paint colors with this easy tool!
You can click on 'CHIP IT' once it is in your toolbox to find the colors of any photo online! It is addicting, as I spent a lot of time just seeing different color schemes and what the colors would be in SW paint...! Have FUN!
I use this FREE CHIP IT tool from Sherwin Williams and I can upload a photo I have uploaded or my own and it finds me the actual paint colors fast.
When you go to link, sign up (very quick to do) and then they have the App right there you simply drag to your toolbar, and then it is done! Asks you if you want to upload, and then also you can save your gallery right there.
Other paint stores can coordinate the name of the SW paint color if you do not have one near you. (photo attached is my trial, I found a photo on Pinterest, saved it (have a cutting tool) and then uploaded to SW site... then when the colors are found, gives you an option to edit, and that second layer pops up so you can switch out a few of the colors and put them in different order. Then you see the names of the actual paint colors on the swatches! FUN to use!
Here is a link that might be useful: FREE online color finding tool
I had to come back and post another photo when I got the idea, can I 'Chip' a 'Seeds' color sample? YES I did!
So, if you find a seeds color sample, you can then Chip it and get the SW color paint names, now how COOL is that?
I subscribe to Seeds and get emails with new color schemes and there are plenty on Pinterest (link below) you can click on any of them to go to the Seeds site to browse more colors, the small samples of color to the right (on the seed site) can lead you to other combinations using that one color you pick... have FUN!
Here is a link that might be useful: Seeds pallets on Pinterest
So now that this thread has reached over 100 posts, would it be acceptable to ask that a Design Seeds Palette Part 2 thread be started? It's just taking a long time to load.
I love checking in every day to see if there is a new design seed palette posted.
And thanks to Annie and all who keep it going.

Uploaded by AirMaria on Jan 10, 2012
Ave Maria! It took me a long time to get back to finishing this clip, but now it's finished. I was able to get a lot done while waiting at the airport. Mount Lafayette is a 5,249-foot (1,600 m) mountain at the northern end of the Franconia Range in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It is one of the most popular day-hike destinations in the White Mountain National Forest due to spectacular views at its summit and its location beside Interstate 93. The upper portion of the mountain is located in the alpine zone, an area where only small vegetation exists due to the harsh climate. -Wikipedia Ave Maria!

Halloween Parties Lead to Suspension of 45 Athletes
The winter sports season is off to a bad start — and the fall season a bad finish — at Tahoma High School in Covington, Wash., where 45 student-athletes have been suspended from playing sports after attending Halloween parties where drugs and alcohol were present.
Police responding to a noise complaint discovered one of the parties. According to the King County sheriff's office, dozens of students were present, including many in school letter jackets. Those involved in the parties included 14 football players, four girls' soccer players, two boys' soccer players, two softball players, four wrestlers, seven baseball players and 12 cheerleaders.
According to a letter sent to parents, "Student-athletes who attended the parties will forfeit a portion of their athletic season, including any athlete whose team is currently involved in post-season play. The investigation to determine whether additional students attended the parties is continuing."
Suspensions for those involved will range from one quarter to one half of the sports season, with those student-athletes not currently in season serving their suspension when the season begins.
"Our student-athletes are well aware of the Tahoma School District Athletic Code and the consequences of these poor choices," said principal Terry Duty. "We hope this will be a lifelong lesson for our entire school, both those who choose to attend the parties and those who elect to do the right thing and not attend."
Officials are also investigating alleged threats made online against students who reported the parties to authorities. "School officials also are aware of negative comments on social media that name individuals or groups of students and blame them for reporting the parties to school authorities," read the letter to parents. "School officials take all threats seriously and are investigating any threatening language directed at students or staff. Appropriate disciplinary actions have and will continue to be sanctioned."

Mod Pieces
New-to-me Toronto-based Mod Pieces is scratching my itch for color, in nearly every room of the house. All products made my shop owner Lia are unique and sustainable, going against the throwaway culture that seems to surround us on a daily basis. The hope is to create truly one of a kind pieces that are rare, unique, and irreplaceable. I can definitely back that notion.

When subscription boxes became an overnight trend a few years ago it was tough to separate the wheat from the chaff. There were plenty of smart ideas, but little quality in my experiences. I've remained true to Birchbox and Hatchery, and now I'm under the spell of Makrbox.
Their idea is to provide a collection of the best handcrafted home and kitchen goods made in the Pacific Northwest. Each of the 2-3 products you receive includes the story if its creator, their inspiration, and the process. A few favorite pieces I received are above – an ergonomic hardwood saute tool by Geoff Fisher, Flying Bird Botanicals Dreamcatcher Tea (a new obsession), San Juan Sea Salt, Pigeon Toe Stacking Thimble Cups, and a linen tea towel from Love, Daniella.
you're invited to: Christmas Brunch
A few years ago my family switched to having a Christmas Day brunch in place of dinner. While I miss the big dinner with all of the trimmings, this seems to suit us all just fine. It's always at my Grandma's house, but if it were at mine it might go a little something like this. Lots of brights and metallics and an air of fun about it all. Lots of carbs to pick at while each person opens their gifts. And of course dessert and some alcohol to lighten the mood. Wanna come over?

Fewer U.S. households fell into the category of "very low food security" in 2010, with the biggest gains coming in homes with children, women who live alone and families with incomes below 185% of the poverty line, the government reported. Data showed that 85.5% of households were "food secure" in 2010, but the remaining 14.5% -- 17.2 million households -- lacked that status at some point during the year, and of those, almost 60% participated in a federal nutrition-assistance program.

A Consumer Update from the US Food and Drug Administration
"This year, I'm going to lose some weight."
If you find yourself making this common New Year's resolution, know this: many so-called "miracle" weight loss supplements and foods (including teas and coffees) don't live up to their claims.
Worse, they can cause serious harm, say FDA regulators.
The agency has found hundreds of products that are marketed as dietary supplements but actually contain hidden active ingredients (components that make a medicine effective against a specific illness) contained in prescription drugs, unsafe ingredients that were in drugs that have been removed from the market, or compounds that have not been adequately studied in humans.
"When the product contains a drug or other ingredient which is not listed as an ingredient we become especially concerned about the safety of the product," says James P. Smith, M.D., an acting deputy director in FDA's Office of Drug Evaluation.

The past never truly fades away.…
Megan is a suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild side. Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer, but now he finds himself in a dead-end job posing as paparazzo. Broome is a detective who can't let go of a cold case.
Three people living lives they never wanted are hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect. And as each confronts the dark side of the American dream—the boredom of a nice suburban life, the excitement of temptation, the desperation and hunger that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades—they will discover the hard truth that the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper thin as a heartbeat.

Aloe vera vs aloe vera?
Hi I have to different types of aloe vera. One of each picture is shown (not my pics). Are they both medicinal aloe vera? The small ones stay small and only grow sideways but the big one just keeps getting bigger and grows in a circular pattern. Please let me know.
Both pics look like the same plant to me :-) One is just larger, more mature and appears to be receiving better care. True Aloe vera has fleshy, succulent leaves with no defined stem, a pale green or gray-green color and is often spotted. Leaves are marginally serrated and with short white 'teeth'. Under good conditions, will produce a tall flower stalk in summer with a cluster of pendulous yellow flowers at the top.
There are about 400 species of aloe and some look quite similar, in fact several species are considered to be nearly identical to Aloe vera, only set apart by a different growing area/range.
But the bigger one has always been in a rosette shape even when it was young and the small ones always grow parallel, heres some better pics.
They are different species. I've grown both (or at least teh second one and one similar to the first one). No matter what you do to the second one, it grows like that. The leaves are more opposite than rosette. Not the most beautiful plant in the world, but I used it a lot for burns and cuts. Works great!!
There seems to be some confusion again with common names - Aloe vera is Aloe vera :-) Although that term is sometimes used to refer to ANY kind of aloe, there are not two species of true or common, aka medicinal aloe. There ARE many species of aloe....as many as 400 have been registered but true aloe, Aloe vera (formerly Aloe barbadensis), is the one noted for medicinal purposes. There is some documentation that Aloe arborescens also has similar medicinal properties but as the species name suggests, this has a much more tree-like growth habit and develops a distinct stem or trunk.
The difference in growth habits between the two plants shown in the pics is simply due to age and maturity. Aloe vera will form a full rosette if given sufficient time and proper growing conditions. Check the Wiki photo linked below.
The smaller ones that appear to only grow laterally rather than in a round rosette of leaves are just young, immature plants (offsets or pups) and hampered from full development by lack of time and indoor growing conditions.

Citizen Activism Online
Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has revolutionized popular expression in China, enabling users to organize, protest, and influence public opinion in unprecedented ways. Guobin Yang's pioneering study maps an innovative range of contentious forms and practices linked to Chinese cyberspace, delineating a nuanced and dynamic image of the Chinese Internet as an arena for creativity, community, conflict, and control. Like many other contemporary protest forms in China and the world, Yang argues, Chinese online activism derives its methods and vitality from multiple and intersecting forces, and state efforts to constrain it have only led to more creative acts of subversion. Transnationalism and the tradition of protest in China's incipient civil society provide cultural and social resources to online activism. Even Internet businesses have encouraged contentious activities, generating an unusual synergy between commerce and activism. Yang's book weaves these strands together to create a vivid story of immense social change, indicating a new era of informational politics.
A boundary-breaking book.... A snap review of some of the hottest issues in front of the Chinese public today.
Daniel Little
Mr. Yang's work is essential reading.
Rebecca MacKinnon
This work represents a major advancement in scholarly research... unquestionably, it should be on reading lists for courses related to social and political development in China... it is highly recommended to all.
Jonathan Sullivan
Of interest to sociologists and students of mass communications... Recommended.
Essential reading for all those seeking a more nuanced account of the power of the internet in China than that provided by international media and human rights organizations.
Colin Hawes
Yang develops a lens that centers on concrete issues and situations that are both empirical-practical and conceptual-theoretical.
Peter Marolt
The Power of the Internet in China by Yang Guobin is destined to be classic and obligatory reading for anyone interested in understanding the role of the internet in people's struggle for freedom, justice, and democracy in China.
Lokman Tsui
The Power of the Internet in China offers us not only a rich study of Chineseonline activism but also raises significant questions about China's civil society.

Autopsy shows Crisco died of heart disease
Former Commerce Secretary and congressional candidate Keith Crisco's sudden death on May 12 was due to heart problems, the state medical examiner disclosed Tuesday.
Crisco, 71, collapsed at his home, the day before he planned to concede to Clay Aiken, his opponent in the close Democratic primary campaign to challenge Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers.
According to the medical examiner's report, Crisco had a history of high blood pressure, and the autopsy disclosed hypertension and severe arteriosclerosis.
Crisco had planned to fly to a friend's funeral in Texas the day he died, but he was unable to book a flight, according to the autopsy report. Crisco called his wife and said he would be home after running errands.
As previously reported, his wife heard him come in the front door of their home in Asheboro and collapse. The report attributed his death to heart disease and high blood pressure.
Crisco, founder and owner of a textile firm in Asheboro, had spent most of his time earlier this year vigorously covering the campaign trail, frequently crossing paths with former pop music star Aiken and, occasionally, third-place finisher Toni Morris of Fayetteville.
In the end, Aiken's margin of victory over Crisco was less than 400 votes, but it was enough to avoid a runoff.
Before the final votes were canvassed, there was a chance that the margin would be close enough for Crisco to call for a recount. But by May 12, he had decided he wouldn't do that, and planned to call Aiken the next day to concede and congratulate him.
