Racism Quotes and Sayings - Page 4
Just because they are black on the outside, doesn't mean that they are black on the inside.
Racist people are the true black ones. They are black on the inside, though they do not know it.
To play the piano you need the black keys and the white keys.
The Christians might say that God was white, but in every movie God is played by Morgan Freeman.
Everyone is equal, no harm shall be done.
No matter what color we are, we are all equal. Same bodies but different color so who cares? We are all equal, one, and united as one.
"Racist?"..No I'm not racist..I have a colored TV.
Some people need to accept that the world is colorful.
I'm not trying to be mean but here are somethings that I have found out:
Caucasian talk about is eating fried chicken and kool aid, and I am very sorry to say, they eat the same things.
A lot of people called the black race ugly. If you look now at the African women, they have defined face structure, and very dark skin, just like their ancestors. The most beautiful skin I've every seen. Some are models, and they are some of the most beautiful women that I have ever seen. I mean, it comes to the point where a lot of people want to look like them!
Why do they have a Caucasian person running the NAACP?
And why is that when a black man comes into office, cleans everything up for America, and still is under fire for doing the things that he is supposed to do? And Bush, the reason for this mess, was not treated like that?
Just some food for thought. Go ahead, give me as much thumbs down as you want, because I just don't care anymore.
You know, I think it's kinda annoying how people always make references to whites as the racist ones. If a white says something regarding color they are racist, if anyone else does they are just proud of who they are. Racism is racism, no matter what. There are people who hate whites for no reason at all and I get one of the most stupid stereotypes – I'm stupid because of my hair color. Doesn't make any sense I'm an incredible level of stupid for no apparent reason cause my hair is blond. Stupid stuff right there. But anyways if you think whites never suffered in America then you need to read up on your history a little more.
I hope you know that most of the white singers and dancers from all around the world, I would say at least half of them are inspired by African Americans. Kimbra is a great example. Amy Winehouse. Adele. Tina Marie. Gavin Degraw Ect. Do I have to continue?
Racism is hatred! There is no place for either in our communities! We all bleed one color…RED! We all cry the same…with a tear! We all need each other… For support, for acceptance, for help! Racism must end!!!!
Racism; the coined term for the hatred of a color. Pathetic.
I wish for a world were the only time people judge by race is during a track meet.
I think what all you guys are asking for is for one culture. In order for that to happen we need to all be in one place. That will never happen in order for that to happen we need to agree with everyone's culture and to see past taboos which is difficult to do for us. Racism will be around forever and has been around forever.
Person's color of skin depends upon the country in which he lives. Because every country has different weather, different atmosphere.
The silly thing is that the color of one's skin is simply evolution's answer for dealing with different rates of exposure to the sun … How ignorant is it then to judge a person on that?
The racist one…usually the jealous one.
We are all the same. Blood, bones and souls!
I just don't get it. We all have organs, we eat, sing, and dance, but the color of our skin will affect the way people think. Maybe black people should just go to Europe, because the people in Europe adore black people. The Europeans are more accepting to them than Americans.
My personal thought is that you should not be racist to people with black/brown skin.
Think of all those people in Asia and Africa with black/brown skin. They think it's normal.
No one should be separated because of the skin color.
There are celebs who are black (who are loved by literally the whole world.
Jay- z
Michael Jackson etc.
They call Michael Jackson the King of pop. At least those people respect blacks.
Everyone's a racist except the blind.
God's interest in the human race is nowhere better evinced than in obstetrics.
The way I look at it most people are set in their ways and won't change their minds about not liking another race. We all learn from our parents and the others around us.
If men could only know each other, they would neither idolize nor hate.
– Elbert Hubbard
It is wise to generalize a group of people based on culture/ethnicity/gender/etc. For means of understanding differences and associations of habitual characteristics, but an atrocity to judge each persons abilities based on the normalcy within any group.

Today, we are sacrificing the quality of our interactions, for quantity. But we must be good listeners if we want to End Poverty.
Do you hear what I hear?
VOTE: It's a justice Issue
Feeling the need to encourage my younger sister-in-law to vote, I said to her, "I don't care if you vote for exactly who your parents tell you to vote for. Your vote is VERY important. And that means a lot, because I can assure you that your parents probably vote very differently than I do!" I believe, a vote is more than just a voice. A vote holds with it the hope of the world; that justice can reign on earth, as it does in heaven.
The Chair in the Seed
"Where did this chair come from?" Germán asked me. We had been talking with a group of women in Bolivia who had just started their own sewing school with guidance from FH. Germán, the FH staff member who leads the project, was making a point about helping the women to support themselves. Germán related the training he had given […]
Hurricane season in Haiti – but don't forget long-term community development
With Hurricane Isaac recently causing havoc in Haiti, it is a good time to reflect that even when Haiti is not in the news for storms or earthquakes, FH is active behind-the-scenes helping local leaders create healthy and disaster-resilient communities. One of these cases is Belladere, a town close to the border of the Dominican […]
We Interrupt This Monotonous & Agitating Political Season for a TRUE Message of HOPE
This is not a stump speech, an endorsement, or even a subversive political plea.
This is a reminder and a gift. A message of hope.
As our TV's sets and news feeds monotonously tune in to the steady screeching of political debate, party pundits and campaigning figureheads, I believe it is important to take a deep breath, and REMEMBER THE POOR. There is no doubt that any election is an important and historical event. We should care about elected leaders, their ideas and what they stand for. But let's not loose sight of the most monumental opportunities of hope we may ever face.
Biblical Worldview: Both a Foundation and an Umbrella
"And through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ's blood on the cross." – Colossians 1:20 (NIV) "Why is there a dead chicken hanging in that tree?" I inquired while bumping down a dirt road in the Dominican Republic to visit Food for the […]
South Sudan: A hopeful—yet uncertain—future

A lesson from a taxi driver in Bor, South Sudan

Israel forces Muslims to demolish their own homesQuicklink submitted by rafe husain Permalink
(more...) (less...) ,
|Ethnic cleansing in the 21st century. Not only does Israel bull doze Muslim houses but then charges the homeless Muslims the cost of bull dozing their own house. Of course if it was Muslims or even Christians forcing Jews to demolish their own homes the UN/US?UK and all manner of secular and human rights groups would be jumping on it.

The pipe-wielding man who broke into an exotic pet store, emptied the cash register and smashed some aquariums probably thought he left no witnesses. But he wasn't counting on Big Blue, a - you guessed it - big, blue tropical fish that survived six hours without water after the attacker fled.
On Saturday, three days after the incident at Animal Instincts Aquarium and Pet Center in Fall River, Mass., Big Blue was back in a suitably large tank, and the reward money raised by locals to find his would-be killer had grown to $800.
"Big Blue's still hanging in there," said a woman named Kim who answered the phone at the store Saturday. "He's had lots of visitors the last few days."
The bizarre incident has captured the attention of the local Herald News, which first reported the story Thursday. According to its account, Big Blue, a Blue Tang fish perhaps better known to humans as the character "Dory" in the movie "Finding Nemo," was minding his own business early Wednesday when a man broke into the pet store. He used a metal pipe to smash repeatedly the 180-gallon tank housing Big Blue and a host of fellow fish and coral until water began gushing out.
The break-in wasn't discovered until staff showed up to open the store several hours later. Big Blue, who is 18 years old, was found flapping atop some rocks in his broken tank, the Herald Star reported.
Bob Schenck, who owns Animal Instincts, was heartbroken. He said 25 fish and 40 types of coral died.
"It was a sad sight to see all our precious animals dead this morning after someone broke into our shop last night and killed all of the animals in our 180-gallon reef tank and invertebrate system," Schenck said in a message posted on Animal Instincts' Facebook page. "This person had no compassion for life."
Kim agreed. "Stealing the cash register is one thing, but recklessly smashing fish tanks is something that makes no sense," she said.
Police say they have photographs and video that could help lead to an arrest. In addition to smashing Big Blue's tank, the perpetrator smashed a 15-gallon tank and tried unsuccessfully to break a second 180-gallon tank. The man fled with the store's computer, cash register and merchandise.
The Herald Star said someone had purchased Big Blue about 14 years ago, when he was the size of a quarter. But, as fish are prone to do, Big Blue grew. Blue Tang fish grow to as large as 12 inches, in fact, and require at least 75-gallon tanks to be comfortable.
About a year ago, Big Blue's owner brought the brilliant blue fish with the bright yellow tail and the yellow-tipped fins to Schenck's shop because he could no longer accommodate Big Blue at home.
Since then, Big Blue had been living in the 180-gallon tank in the back of Schenck's store, along with other smaller companions.
"She should be dead. It's amazing she's still kicking," Schenck told the Herald Star, adding that he was as mystified as anyone over how Big Blue had survived so long out of water. But Schenck cautioned against overoptimism, noting that tropical fish that have been traumatized often don't show symptoms of distress until days later.

We were waiting for our realtor when we realized that we were at the wrong property. Fortunately Hunter spotted a sexy girl dressed in business attire sitting by herself on a nearby park bench. We approached her and asked if she was our realtor and obviously she said no but it gave us an opening for us to get to know her. After the pleasantries, Violet revealed that she was a secretary on a lunch break, a mom and a recent divorcee who caught her husband with another man. We had plenty to work with and after a few rejections we finally persuaded Violet to come over to our place. Soon after arriving, Hunter stuffed Violet's pretty mouth with his hard schlong. He fucked her tight pussy all over his new couch and eventually glazed her entire face with an unbelievable amount of cum.

Chalet in the Valley Restaurant
5060 State Route 557
Millersburg Ohio 44654United States
(330) 893-2550
Editor's Review
From Swiss Miss-style uniforms to five types of schnitzel, this restaurant's unabashed Swiss pride is contagious.
With its front-gabled roof, eave brackets and other Alpine architectural motifs, Chalet in the Valley Restaurant makes clear the owners' love for all things Swiss. Inside, you half expect to hear the Swiss Miss-uniformed waitstaff break out in yodels. The menu acknowledges Amish favorites, such as chicken and mashed potato dinners ($10), but the house specialties are Swiss-Austrian. From the Tiroler Wurse Plate (knockwurst and bratwurst with kraut and German potato salad, $13) to the Jaeger Schnitzel (just one of five schnitzels on the menu) to a hearty helping of speatzle, it is clear the cooks know Swiss food. Add up the reasonable prices, friendly waitstaff and even a harpist providing live background music, and you have a welcome alternative to the area's typical Amish restaurants.

The Vikings have downgraded running back Adrian Peterson (foot/groin) from doubtful to out for Sunday's season finale against the Lions at the Metrodome.
Head coach Leslie Frazier said on Friday he wasn't going to allow Peterson talk his way on the field "unless something dramatically changes." Matt Asiata will start at running back with Toby Gerhart also out due to a hamstring injury.
Peterson attempted to play through the foot and groin issues against the Bengals last Sunday and had just 11 carries for 45 yards.
It'll be the second game Peterson misses this season. He'll finish with 1,266 rushing yards this season, the second lowest total in Peterson's career (Peterson had 970 yards in 2011 when he tore his ACL).

An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow Poem by Les Murray
The word goes round Repins,
the murmur goes round Lorenzinis,
at Tattersalls, men look up from sheets of numbers,
the Stock Exchange scribblers forget the chalk in their hands
and men with bread in their pockets leave the Greek Club:
There's a fellow crying in Martin Place. They can't stop him.
The traffic in George Street is banked up for half a mile
and drained of motion. The crowds are edgy with talk
and more crowds come hurrying. Many run in the back streets
which minutes ago were busy main streets, pointing:
There's a fellow weeping down there. No one can stop him.
The man we surround, the man no one approaches
simply weeps, and does not cover it, weeps
not like a child, not like the wind, like a man
and does not declaim it, nor beat his breast, nor even
sob very loudly - yet the dignity of his weeping
holds us back from his space, the hollow he makes about him
in the midday light, in his pentagram of sorrow,
and uniforms back in the crowd who tried to seize him
stare out at him, and feel, with amazement, their minds
longing for tears as children for a rainbow.
Some will say, in the years to come, a halo
or force stood around him. There is no such thing.
Some will say they were shocked and would have stopped him
but they will not have been there. The fiercest manhood,
the toughest reserve, the slickest wit amongst us
trembles with silence, and burns with unexpected
judgements of peace. Some in the concourse scream
who thought themselves happy. Only the smallest children
and such as look out of Paradise come near him
and sit at his feet, with dogs and dusty pigeons.
Ridiculous, says a man near me, and stops
his mouth with his hands, as if it uttered vomit -
and I see a woman, shining, stretch her hand
and shake as she receives the gift of weeping;
as many as follow her also receive it
and many weep for sheer acceptance, and more
refuse to weep for fear of all acceptance,
but the weeping man, like the earth, requires nothing,
the man who weeps ignores us, and cries out
of his writhen face and ordinary body
not words, but grief, not messages, but sorrow,
hard as the earth, sheer, present as the sea -
and when he stops, he simply walks between us
mopping his face with the dignity of one
man who has wept, and now has finished weeping.
Evading believers, he hurries off down Pitt Street.

Pitching does in D-backs in 8-3 loss to Brewers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Arizona Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson was direct in assessing why his team lost to the Milwaukee Brewers.
It all came down to the pitching.
Carlos Gomez hit a leadoff home run and drove in three runs to lead the Brewers to an 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Monday night.
"We didn't execute pitches from the first pitch of the game," Gibson said. "We walked seven on the night and we needed to make pitches and we couldn't make them. We couldn't keep the ball down. Just overall not a very good job of executing pitches."
That included starting pitcher Mike Bolsinger (1-2), who took the loss as he gave up four runs and seven hits in five innings. It was the fourth time in his last five starts that he has been hit hard.
"I knew he was a first pitch guy," Bolsinger said of Gomez. "But I didn't know he would swing like that at the first pitch of the game."
The struggles included reliever Randall Delgado, who came on in the sixth and quickly gave up four runs and four hits in one inning to let the game get away.
"I was a little bit wild and I had to pay the consequences," Delgado said.
Martin Maldonado and Jean Segura also homered for Milwaukee, which had lost four of its last five entering the game. The Brewers still have the best record in baseball at 22-11.
Milwaukee remained the only team in baseball to not lose when scoring at least four runs, improving to 18-0 in those games.
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said he was pleased to see his team's offense come to life. The Brewers had been struggling offensively, scoring only 10 runs in the Reds' series.
"We've been talking about somewhere in there getting six, seven, eight runs and we did," Roenicke said. "It sets up a lot of things when you get people on base. The guys did a great job."
Matt Garza (2-3) picked up the win as he pitched six innings for Milwaukee, giving up three runs on eight hits. It was only the third time in seven starts this season that Garza has not given up at least four runs.
Arizona grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Gerardo Parra led off the game with a single and moved to second on a walk to Miguel Montero. With two outs, Aaron Hill lined a hit to right that Brewers outfielder Caleb Gindl dived for, but could not hang on to as Parra scored.
Gomez tied the score in the bottom of the first inning with his home run.
The Brewers grabbed a 3-1 lead in the second inning as Maldonado hit a two-run homer.
Arizona tied it at 3 in the third ion RBI singles by Montero and Hill, who had four singles in the game. The Diamondbacks loaded the bases with one out, but Garza struck out Alfredo Marte and Ender Inciarte to get out of the inning.

TowPlows take on Utah's snowy roads
PROVO — UDOT's snowplow drivers are working long hours to clear the roads of all the snow that northern Utah has seen over the past few days, and the agency is using an unusual tool in the fight against snowy roads.
It's called the TowPlow, and it's no ordinary plow. It's equipped with a 26-foot moldboard and either a granular spreader or a tank for dispensing liquids for snow and ice control. In conjunction with the conventional snow plow, it is able to plow a path the width of two typical traffic lanes.
"A TowPlow is not your average plow with just one driver, and one pass can clear several lanes of traffic, where a traditional plow can only do one lane at a time," UDOT spokeswoman Muriel Xochimitl said.
With the completion of the new freeway in Utah County, there are more lane miles to clear on I-15 and these TowPlows are making a big difference.
"It increases efficiency and reduces costs, so with just one driver out with one plow we can clear several lanes of traffic at a time, getting our job done much quicker and keeping the roads safer," Xochimitl said.
The TowPlows could be the wave of the future. UDOT is using a handful of them right now along the Wasatch Front; three are in use in Utah County and a fourth is on order.
"We just ask drivers to partner with us in slowing down, being cautious so that we can keep the roads safe and get people where we need to go," she said.
UDOT is asking drivers to stay back at least 300 feet the distance of a football field to give them the area they need to clear the roads.

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) announced that from June 8 to 10 inspectors and law enforcement officers will be conducting the annual "Roadcheck," which is sponsored by CVSA and mobilizes thousands of federal, state, provincial and local inspectors to more than 1,500 locations across the continent to conduct comprehensive North American Standard (NAS) Level I Inspections and other related roadside enforcement activities of bus and truck motor carriers.
"Roadcheck is successful because of the dedication and hard work of the thousands of roadside inspectors all across North America, as well as the strength of our partnerships and of the combined commitment to ensure trucks and buses are sharing the road safely with others," said Stephen A. Keppler, CVSA's interim executive director. "Each year CVSA teams with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and other organizations, including the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, Transport Canada, as well as the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation in Mexico, to crack down on non-compliant trucks, buses and drivers during our Roadcheck campaign."
Last year, 9,683 CVSA and FMCSA certified inspectors at 2,145 locations across North America performed a record 72,255 truck and bus inspections. Of that total, there were 56,486 NAS Level I inspections.
Roadcheck 2009's record total of overall inspections and Level I inspections showed significant declines in vehicle and driver OOS rates, as well as a significant drop in safety belt violations. Data show the highest overall vehicle compliance rate - 80.4 percent - since 1996, and the highest overall driver compliance rate - 95.7 percent - ever. For NAS Level I inspections, the compliance rates of 77.8 percent (vehicles) and 96.1 percent (drivers) were both records for Roadcheck, and represented 7.1 and 20.4 percent improvements respectively over 2008's totals. In addition, safety belt violations were reduced in 2009 by 276 (1,246 to 970), a 22.2 percent improvement over 2008.
Inspections of passenger carrying vehicles resulted in a vehicle compliance rate of 88.5 percent and a driver compliance rate of 96.4 percent, both improvements (5.7 percent for vehicles and 20 percent for drivers) over 2008. There were 29,972 CVSA decals issued to vehicles that passed the inspection.
The groups urged planners to add parking near the National Mall for the millions of people who will visit by bus and car over the next several months, kicking off with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
In their meetings, UMA members shared information about their own businesses and rallied for backing of three critical needs: opposition of FMCSA's proposal to raise the Federal financial responsibility limits, support of Rep. Barletta's proposal to remove CSA scores from public view until the data used to calculate the score can be improved, and support to preserve the current charter service rule.
David Cooper of Pacific Coachways Trailways in Garden Grove, Calif., was presented by Bob Crescenzo, VP, safety & loss control, at Lancer Insurance, the awards event sponsor.
State police said the driver did not speak or understand English and did not know he was supposed to stop in Richmond, Va. The driver was reportedly dragged out of his chair, while the bus was swerving in and out of lanes for a half mile or so.
Suzanne Te Beau Rohde will succeed ABA's sr. VP, Government Affairs and Policy, Clyde Hart, who is retiring after 14 years.

City growth stays steady
Officials pleased to avoid booms and busts, but more housing needed
Winnipeg experienced middle-of-the-pack population growth among Canadian cities over the previous five years, further cementing the Manitoba capital's reputation for being immune to both booms and busts.
Between 2006 and 2011, the City of Winnipeg's population rose 4.8 per cent to nearly 664,000 from more than 633,000 five years earlier, Statistics Canada revealed Wednesday when it published the first set of findings from the 2011 census.
During the same period, the Winnipeg Census Metropolitan Area -- the city and 11 bedroom communities where more than half of the workforce commutes into Winnipeg -- saw population growth of 5.1 per cent, to 730,000 from 695,000.
This modest but significant population growth places metropolitan Winnipeg near the middle of the Canadian urban pack, right in line with steady-as-she-goes Montreal (5.1 per cent) and in way better position than recession-battered Windsor, Ont. (-1.3 per cent) but nowhere close to oil-rich Calgary and Edmonton (12.6 and 12.1 per cent) or potash-fuelled Saskatoon (11.4 per cent).
Although Winnipeg's growth lags slightly behind Conference Board of Canada predictions, themselves based on Statistics Canada figures, city officials are taking the moderate influx of humanity in stride.
"We would rather have modest, constant growth than erratic growth, any time," said City of Winnipeg economist Georges Chartier, who also manages the city's infrastructure planning. "We don't get into a boom situation, but we also don't have the negative consequences associated with busts."
Mayor Sam Katz said he was heartened to see the city's growth rate more than double the figure for 2001 to 2006, when the city grew 2.2 per cent. "We have healthy, moderate growth that definitely can be managed properly," he said, adding it is not valid to compare Winnipeg to oil-rich counterparts in Alberta.
On the flip side, this city may be ill-prepared if not outright unable to handle more vigorous population growth, thanks to its chronic housing shortage. Home prices continue to rise and apartment-vacancy rates have hovered around one per cent for several years, making it difficult for new arrivals, particularly immigrants and migrants from First Nations, to locate suitable housing within the city.
"We don't have the same safety valves in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas to alleviate some of the housing pressure," said Peter Squire, a spokesman for Winnipeg Realtors. "We're still playing catch-up to the population we have."
Chartier said he's confident the private sector will adapt to the situation, especially now that Statistics Canada has demonstrated Winnipeg's stronger growth.
"There is some pressure to increase housing construction, in particular multi-family units. People have to live somewhere and the housing market will react to that," he said. "The housing market is a bit cautious, after what happened in the (slow-growth) '90s. After 10 years of OK growth, there is more confidence in the market."
The 2011 census also revealed the fastest-growing areas of the city included the Amber Trails region of Old Kildonan, the Waverley West/Whyte Ridge area of Fort Garry and the east side of the Exchange District, home to recent condominium construction.
Squire said the city acted prudently when it opened up suburban greenfields to housing developments, given the demand for new single-family homes. But as greenfields grow scarce, the city must develop more housing in older neighbourhoods, where existing residents often resist the construction of multi-family housing, Squire said.
"The challenge moving forward is how you get infill through the NIMBY (not-in-my-back-yard) challenges," he said.

Gregory Beauchamp likes to say that his home in Venice Beach, California, is a stone's throw from the ocean — but only if you have a good arm. With his penchant for oranges, reds and browns, Gregory likes to channel a sort of city version of 1970s off-the-grid living, but where the hippies would have had a timber bookshelf and a well, he has a Milo Baughman credenza and a water heater. Gregory works as an advertising design director and started a creative consultancy called Granite Pass. (Last year he won an Emmy for his work as executive producer for the documentary Art&Copy.) He now splits his time between the communications world and making art, which his sells on Etsy. But in both spheres, and even in decorating his home, he works to strip things down until they become as simple as possible because the simpler you can make something, the more universal it becomes. He believes that creativity can solve anything and that we all want the same things — for tomorrow to be better than today — and today is pretty great. Thanks, Gregory! — Amy Azzarito
Image above: The Milo Baughman credenza is the first piece of "grown-up" furniture I ever bought. It was found at a mid-century shop on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice called Surfing Cowboys. The large door on the lower left opens up from the bottom and slides into place. It's a wonderful hiding spot for strange things. The framed art is a piece I made called "FOOD" (the shadows of the animals spell "Do Not Feed the Animals the Animals"). I fell in love with the pottery sculptures when I visited the studio of Larry Carnes, an amazing artist in Ojai, CA. They're called Kiln Gods and have a wonderful innocence and mythology to them. The vintage rug was one of those "needle-in-a-haystack" moments from a neighborhood garage sale. It's giant and beautifully covers the carpeting, which, if you rent, can sometimes become an albatross.
Image above: The Knoll chair, upholstered in the original fabric, was an eBay find and still bares the sticker that says "University of California" from when it once sat in the library in Santa Barbara. The pillow is double-sided with a bird on one side and a smiling happy person on the other and was discovered at the Santa Monica Airport Flea Market. The built-in bookshelf is home to my favorite book, Kerouac's Dharma Bums.
See more of Gregory's Venice home after the jump . . .
Image above: This is my office. The 7-foot folding farm table and braided rug were purchased at a local antique mall. I chose not to refinish the table because I love the 100 years of wear and tear. The chair was found after a year-long search ending at French 50s/60s in Culver City. I got it for a steal since I bought it "as-is" before it could be reupholstered. The macrame seat cover was still intact when I brought it home.
Image above: The bed sits in a converted day porch with a wall of windows looking down on the street. Although the entire room is not much larger than the bed itself, it's my favorite room in the house.
Image above: I've had this dresser since I shared a room with my brother growing up. It came in a set with bunk beds. I remember climbing the handles like they were rungs on a ladder. The large painting was a gift from a Venice back alley.
Image above: Seventeen years ago when I lived in Portland, OR, I bought the oil and charcoal drawing off the walls of my favorite coffee shop. It's by an artist named Chad Crouch, whom I'm happy to call a friend. It was my first piece of framed art and depicts a dinner scene where the thoughts of each participant are painted on their body . . . "yes," "no," "yum," "duh" and "mouse." I like to think of it as a version of The Last Supper. I keep my blankets handy since old Venice buildings tend to have a draft. I'm always on the lookout for a vintage Pendleton or hand-knit. All of them and the desert painting are from local flea markets. The '60s handmade bench is another "haystack needle" find from a garage sale found on a morning stroll.
Image above: I made this bird sculpture out of newspaper, tape, polyurethane and shredded junk mail and tax receipts. It was originally created as a drawing model.
Image above: I've found that the secret to ferns is to water them on Sundays and Wednesdays. The bookcase was made from two vintage wooden crates and a cut-up towel rack from Home Depot. It's surprisingly sturdy, sits next to my desk and holds books on a few of my idols of design.
Image above: Somehow my favorite rug ended up in the bathroom, but I love the way it warms it up the space. The Pendleton towel and L.L. Bean slippers were gifts from my girl. Another Larry Carnes sculpture stands next to a thrift-store pottery vase filled with local wildflowers.
Image above: The entire breakfast area cost $35. The 1930s antique folding chairs from the American Seating Company were hand-me-downs from my brother's college years. The Formica table was another gift from a Venice alley, and the Danish teak bowl and rug were found at a rural antique mall on a winter trip back to Oregon. Note: If you get a chance to walk through an antique store with your parents, you'll hear a lot of wonderful stories provoked by the vintage objects.
Image above: The carved face was made by my father. What makes it so special is that he grew up in a very Catholic household, but he spent his adult years exploring alternative belief structures that were far away from the traditional religions. After he was diagnosed with cancer in 1995, this was the last thing he ever carved before he passed.
Image above: This bear hangs out in the living room on a Tivoli stereo. My father sculpted it from a single block of wood in 1985 as a birthday gift for me. It took him a year of nights and weekends to complete. The painting above it was found in a thrift store and depicts a little kid holding a bottle of soda (here you can see his legs in shorts and the bottom of the bottle). On the back, in pen, it says: "Natalie Wilson 1975. Pepsi Generation."
Image above: This is the bookshelf in the office. Over the years there were many different types of cases holding the books before I figured out how to make my own "built-in." The hardest part of the project was getting the 4″ x 12″ x 12′ side pieces of pine home. It's 10 feet tall and 4.5 feet wide (the photo shows only half the width). It's also my first experience using a router, which I used to notch the slots in the sides. The complete project of cutting, painting, staining and constructing took about a week. It's full of design and art books and is kept color-coordinated to keep it clean.
What a beautiful home !
The textiles in this home are amazing! I have rug envy.
Love it!! This has been my favorite sneak peek in awhile.
LOVE all the rugs and blankets. The space has a really great worn-in feel.
I was so touched to read about your father's last carving… very beautiful. Thank you for sharing that story. I like that you fill your home with things that you love and have meaning for you. Wonderful home.
Such sweet use of small space. The color and pattern + use of wood balance the bright whites so well! Love.
I enjoy everything about this Sneak Peek. Gregory Beauchamp has a beautiful home.
So warm and full of colour! I love all the textiles. I definitely think I need more rugs and afghans in my home…
I love that every item has a story and character. So much better than IKEA-common! OK< I do love IKEA, but this says so much more about the person who lives in the home.
Very Lovely!
the routed-out bookshelves are a.m.a.z.i.n.g. what a great detail.
there is always a pineapple in the fridge – my kind of house!
Love this home, and aspire to have one that's as personal some day. I ordered the States United poster from your etsy shop. There are no toes in the poster are there?? ;-) Can't wait to have it framed. Nice work all around.
Very comfortable and welcoming.
Thanks for the floor plan, which I wish were included in more of the sneak peeks!
This home feels so cozy with layers of interest everywhere yet still refined. I am hoping to achieve something similar one day.
I am in love with this house!
I tip my hat to you sir! Well done!!!!
my daddy had a deathbed conversion as well. raised (somewhat) catholic, he later declared himself agnostic.
a month before he died, he told me he was no longer an agnostic.
"this is it," i thought, "the power of catholicism knows no bounds"…
"i'm atheist", he declared. (!)
your father did beautiful work, and your home is a joy.
Love it! What a beautiful mix of art, textiles, and books. And it all comes together so thoughtfully yet so simply.
Best "Thing I love about my home" ever! Made me chuckle. Beautiful home btw. Very warm!
Amazing Textiles, and use of color and wood on white. Beautifully done!
I love the humongous fern – it's taking over..obviously happy!
Such a great space filled with warmth, textures, earthy colours, lively plants and personal history with each little item. Many hand me downs related to family (those are the best). Kids could live in there. It feels real. It looks lived in. It's so inviting!! It could all be an illusion from well chosen pics but it makes you want to know more. My favourite of the 3 sneak peeks by far! I feel sheepish because I just gushed all over the hot pink couch from the first one but this space is exuding a feeling of comfort without even showing a couch or a whole bed! I'm almost fooled into thinking there is a fire place or wood stove in there but I guess not if he's from California. Great inspiring space! Thanks!
Loved the natural feel of the place. It brought a very soothing gut response.
My favorite Sneak Peek! If I may, I would also recommend the Gregory Beauchamp's site (the link is at the top of this page..)
Having spent a lot of tie in Venice in the 70's (at my parent's friend's houses, I was too young not to be dragged along + then there was brunch either on Main St. or someplace on the strand every Sunday) I love-love-love this SP. I know so many people in the area who have almost completely furnished their entire homes in really cool alley finds.
My favorite Sneak Peek so far!
Your home looks filled with such warmth, personality and style. I love, love, love the carvings that your dad did — they're just beautiful. The bear on the rocks is especially amazing.
i am positively in love with it all. fantastic sneak peek. the artwork, the plants, the rugs, the books, everything. so well done.
This has to be my favorite sneak peek in a while–love love love the handmade, rustic touches all over. Those blankets and rugs are gorgeous and that bath is to die for. Love the homey, lived in feel–perfect without being fussy. Saving this to my favorites. :)
I would ADORE to see what books he has in his library…..
We bought the "Tribe" print of Gregory's from his etsy shop last year and it's my favorite piece on our home! He's a wonderful artist and a kind person, so it's no surprise that his home is gorgeous and comfortable. Great feature.
legend. dude.
Lovely home, I like the little bedroom best. This is my favourite sneak peak for a long time I don't get excited when things cost a lot of money!
Those wood carvings are both amazing, thanks for sharing them with us.
Wow. Those rugs! And that birdy pillow! Ohhh! Those carvings are beautiful. One of my favourite sneak peaks. x x
Very Very NICE! Truly a "home"
And how fantastic to see a floor plan.
Definitely would be a welcome addition for all sneak peeks.
What an amazing home and it's filled with so many gorgeous pieces of furniture and art. Love!
what a fantastic home. thoughtful yet not precious or overly self-conscious. great job!
and, as a UCSB alum, i will forever be envious of that chair!
Thanks for the sharing those nice pictures, great and inspiring
I love the credenza! And in love with the animal art!
dear design sponge,
the photographer did a great job at documenting some of the objects in this house. but, they did a terrible job at photographing THE HOUSE ITSELF. The most expansive picture is that of the bathroom. it's a shame that almost none of the spaces were shown; I'm sure they are terrific.
a lot of his things are similar to mine but what he has that i do not
and need to add are the beautiful, warm, and cozy rugs!! this is
an investment that i would be wise to make..
if you took those away and had mostly bare floors it would be cold
(as are mine), if you put in modern rugs you would take away
the warmth that this home has!
thanks! this is inspiring!
Juuust right!
i'm in love with this home–from the books to the rugs to the pineapple in the fridge!
wow! this is my favourite home tour in a long while. what coziness, authenticity and character! i LOVE it.
OMG! Dharma Bums is my favorite Kerouac book too! I love the homeowners sense of style. Like the hippies and beatniks, but more sophisticated.
love it all. great style. that bear is fantastic – your dad must be an amazing guy.
Love, love, love it! Am pretty sure your 'macrame seat cover' is actually crocheted afghan. It looks very well appreciated to me!
Just like a dream!
Come to M'sia! I think u'll fall in love with the Iban prints from Borneo.
I'm obsessed with all of the colorful, worn details in each nook of this home. I'd love to incorporate a similar vibe in my home!!

Happy November First! Time is seriously flying by. I cannot believe it is already November and we only have two more months till the next year. Crazy!
Thanks so much to all your awesome feedback on my last post about my GI issues. I'm hoping to figure it out soon!
Something about November puts me in a great mood. I love October, but November really gets me all giddy and in the holiday spirit. Especially since in Florida the weather doesn't really start feeling like fall till now (well, soon).
( Source )
Enough Said We can't forget the cute clothes, decorating, family time, food, etc. I love it. I'm getting way to ahead of myself here!
Lets rewind to last night, shall we?
After completing 30 minutes on the elliptical and an upper body strength training routine, we came home to trick-or-treaters immediately at our door.
Moving into our new neighborhood, we weren't sure what to expect but surprisingly there were more kids than we expected.
We still have a full bowl of candy but it seemed like the door was knocked on non stop. Luckily, it's a bowl of almond joy which I like Coconut, chocolate and almond hello.
For dinner we kept it simple and started with a new to me soup that was really yummy.
All natural found at Whole Foods and gluten free. Loved it! The ginger was probably the strongest but no complaints here.
We had the soup while our meal was cooking then sat down for dinner.
Turkey Sausage and broccoli. Easy and yummy, my kind of style!
After dinner my mom and I were talking about the new On Demand we have with the Comcast TV we had installed over the weekend.
Before I even had a gym membership, I would do workouts from On Demand and loved it. I have seen many bloggers recommend certain workouts as well.
I figured it would be useful if I needed to workout at home or wanted to get in a little extra yoga, which is almost always.
This sparked up a memory of when I was younger. My best friend Sarah and I were absolutely obsessed with Barbie Workout.
Oh my gosh. I can't even tell you how many times we did this DVD. We knew all the moves by heart and it was SO much fun!
We were really active kids and I totally miss this DVD. Not going to lie, I'd do it now if I still had it ;D
Okay, maybe not but it was awesome when I was younger. This is such a 90s video. I feel old! I didn't even know it but one of the main girls in the video was Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Here's a video of the DVD in case any of you remember it:
Do you remember the Barbie workout? Did you ever do it?
Favorite flavor soup?
When do you really get in the fall / holiday spirit?

Category — Saving Species
Uma, Kya, Willa and their Wild Lion Cousins
As we prepare to introduce our visitors to John and Imani's cubs – Uma, Kya and Willa – this spring, we are also celebrating the success of our efforts to support wild lion populations. We work with the Maasai communities in Kenya's South Rift Valley to promote the coexistence of lions, people and livestock. A partnership with SORALO (South Rift Association of Land Owners), the Rebuilding the Pride program is based out of two communal ranches, or conservancies, called Olkirimatian and Shompole.
In 2014, the lion populations on Olkirimatian and Shompole continued to grow and thrive with 16 cubs born in 2012 and 2013 surviving to adulthood. Two radio-collared lionesses that the program monitors, Nasha and Namunyak, also recently gave birth to new litters of cubs. Just like Imani, Namunyak has a trio of cubs tagging along behind her. Namunyak's cubs have not yet been given names as it is Maasai tradition to wait until they are at least a year old.
As the lion population grows, so does the area across which they range, resulting in reports of lion sightings in new areas. In response, the Rebuilding the Pride team has added two new local Maasai resource assessors and a mobile monitoring unit. This allows the program to expand the area it covers and reach even more remote regions. The role of the mobile monitoring unit, equipped with tents, cameras and GPS, is to track lion and livestock movements, identify conflict hotspots, share this information with livestock herders and report cases of lost livestock to the rapid response team, which then addresses the situation.
In 2013, the team began developing a lion identification (ID) database, allowing for photographic documentation and identification of individual lions based on whisker spots. Much effort was put into updating and improving the ID system over the past year. To date, the team has created individual photographic IDs for 35 of the 60-70 lions, which is about half the population in the Olkirimatian and Shompole regions. Being able to recognize individual lions greatly enhances the team's ability to gain new insight into the lion population.
Rebuilding the Pride isn't just about increasing the number of lions, however. Improving the livelihoods of the local people is critical to promoting coexistence. In addition to building local capacity as resource assessors, the Olkirimatian Women's Group continues to manage the Lale'enok Resource Center that serves as Rebuilding the Pride headquarters. They also sell beadwork and solar lanterns and have begun a new enterprise this year – beekeeping. Several apiaries were established and the first harvest took place in November.
These are just a few highlights from the past year. WCPO.com recently interviewed me about Rebuilding the Pride so check out the article, if you'd like to learn more.We look forward to continued development and success in 2015, and can't wait to watch both Imani's and Namunyak's cubs grow over the coming year.

I have really enjoyed sharing stories with you about our gorilla program throughout 2014. A lot has gone on including the continued integration of superstar Gladys into our gorilla family, the birth of little Mondika this summer and the excellent care she gets from her new mom Asha, the arrival of the impressive young silverback Harambe and the fantastic surrogacy project with baby Kamina. Although Kamina did not find a surrogate gorilla mother here the effort put forth by our fantastic surrogacy team has successfully instilled confidence and the skills she will need to join a gorilla family in Columbus. All good stuff!
That's what the Cincinnati Zoo strives to do. Share our inspirational stories with all of you and connect people with wildlife everyday. I'm really looking forward to posting more about our gorillas here at the zoo and our efforts to help conserve wild gorillas throughout 2015.
One opportunity that I am really looking forward to is leading a trip to Tanzania this May to see the great migration with a potential side trip to Rwanda to see the critically endangered mountain gorillas. I would love to share this adventure and even more fun stories about our work here at the zoo with you there. Please have a look at this link. Should be an experience of a lifetime! Join me for a free trip preview on February 10, 2015, here at the Zoo.
Thanks again for your wonderful interest in what we do here and stay tuned for more!

A Mondika Message from Ron Evans, Curator of Primates
The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden is committed to sharing inspirational stories about our animals and connecting our friends and followers to wildlife every day. We celebrated this in 2014 by naming our newest baby gorilla "Mondika" after a fantastic place in the Republic of Congo doing gorilla-related conservation. The effort in Mondika is part of a larger program called the Nouabale-Ndoki Project (NNP) with which the Cincinnati Zoo has partnered for many years. Please check this blog for regular reports on our little ambassador Mondika, aka "Mona", along with interesting updates on the great work being done in Congo to save the critically-endangered western lowland gorilla.
In August 2014, the Zoo enjoyed the birth of our 49th gorilla, Mona. This birth was significant in many ways. It was a genetically valuable match of father "Jomo" and mother "Asha". Zoos do not take gorillas from the wild and haven't done so in many decades. Zoos work hard to protect wild gorillas while raising awareness at home. So zoos must be careful to properly manage all the gorillas they have. This is accomplished through great cooperation between institutions and overseen by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Gorilla Species Survival Plan (SSP). The SSP keeps track of all 350 gorillas in North America and makes recommendations for their management based on genetics, behavior and input from zoos.
Asha is a first time mother and did a wonderful job, which is also significant. It's very important that a baby gorilla be raised by its mother to learn all the coping skills it will need to be socially happy throughout their lives. Her successful skills as a mother can be attributed to her good history having been raised herself in a normal gorilla family group with a good mother, siblings and a tolerant silverback at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, TX. After reaching a mature age and transferring from her natal group to the Cincinnati Zoo, Asha was slowly integrated into the family of gorillas here, led by silverback Jomo. Once she was comfortable with her position in the group, she was removed from birth control and allowed to conceive. It's very important for a gorilla to give birth in a comfortable atmosphere that is conducive to the security needed for good mother-rearing. Mona is now about five months old and is still doing fantastic; she has a long bright future at the Cincinnati Zoo.
Unfortunately, Mona's wild counterparts in the rainforests of Central Africa have more uncertain futures. Western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) are a critically endangered species and face many challenges due to rapid habitat loss among others. The good news is there are a lot of great people, places and organizations who really care, like the Cincinnati Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society's Nouabale-Ndoki Project (NNP). For approximately 15 years, the Zoo and the NNP have partnered to help protect this flagship species for conservation. The NNP is located in the Republic of Congo and has several gorilla-related efforts going on, including the following.
- Mondika is a site where researchers habituate wild gorilla families for up close daily detailed observation and provide visitors with an inspirational opportunity to see these magnificent animals up close.
- The Mbeli Bai Study is the longest-running research project being done on wild western lowland gorillas. Bais are naturally occurring swampy clearings in the rain forests. At Mbeli Bai, researchers spend eight hours a day on an elevated observation platform year-round observing about 300 different gorillas that enter this area to forage and socialize, in addition to a myriad of other species like forest elephants, sititunga antelope and buffalo. Eco-tourism is also available at this site.
- The Goualougo Triangle Ape Study covers an expansive area researching both gorillas and chimpanzees. They utilize wide grid census collection, incorporating state of the art camera trapping that produces wonderful candid and rare wildlife images and video.
- Club Ebobo is the education component for the NNP, connecting children and the local people to conservation of their natural heritage.
Looking forward to bringing you more Mondika Messages throughout the year!
