MidPoint Favorites The Ridges Return to MPMF '14
Ohio Chamber Folk ensemble makes promo video in support of Memorial Hall performance
Over the past few years, Athens, Ohio's Indie Folk troupe The Ridges have become a regular presence at Cincinnati area clubs, building up a nice local following. They've also become fairly regular participants in the MidPoint Music Festival (which returns starting this Thursday to the clubs and venues of Downtown/Over-the-Rhine) and they always provide fest-highlight-worthy performances. The band is returning to MPMF 2014 for its third visit to the festival, opening up the night at new MPMF venue Memorial Hall Saturday at 9:15 p.m. and rounding out a great bill that also includes anticipated MPMF sets by Saintseneca and Gardens & Villa. The Ridges (who've done several dates in the past year with Kishi Bashi, one of last year's big MPMF breakthrough acts) often craft cool promo videos for their shows, particularly for bigger events like MPMF. The band's video previewing its appearance at this year's MidPoint was recently shot from the stage at Memorial Hall, giving a good look at the gorgeous venue for those who've never seen it. "It's always one of our favorite shows," Ridges singer/songwriter/guitarist Victor Rasgaitis says about playing MidPoint. "The atmosphere is perfectly inspiring and the crowds are so incredibly receptive — we're lucky to have such an awesome festival here in Ohio." Tickets for MPMF are available here. For more on The Ridges, visit theridgesmusic.com.

MidPoint Music Festival's 2014 Schedule Unveiled
Late September fest adds new venues, more all-ages opportunities
This morning, the full schedule (with a few exceptions) for this year's MidPoint Music Festival, which returns to Cincy Sept. 25-27, was announced. You can start building your itinerary now here. This year's MPMF will remain centered around venues in the Over-the-Rhine and neighboring Downtown areas. A few new venues were announced — Memorial Hall, next to Music Hall, will be participating this year, as will the Christian Moerlein Brewery, which will feature showcases on a large outdoor stage (replacing the big-tent parking lot stage at Grammer's) and an indoor stage. MPMF 2014 will also offer under-drinking-age music lovers more opportunities to explore the festival than ever. The outdoor Moerlein Brewery stage, Memorial Hall, The Ballroom at the Taft Theatre, the MidPoint Midway, Washington Park and the Contemporary Arts Center will all be open to fans of all ages. Below is the full press release. Tickets are available now at mpmf.cincyticket.com. Stay tuned to MPMF.com (and corresponding social media pages) for the latest schedule additions and more.CINCINNATI, Ohio (August 6, 2014) — The long wait is over. Fans eager to see what artists are playing atMidPoint Music Festival will now find a full schedule online at MPMF.com. Approximately 150 acts from sevencountries, 57 cities, and across the tri-state region will perform in Cincinnati USA, September 25–27, 2014.For weeks now, festival organizers have been leaking some bands and details via social media, but venueand showcase times have been kept under wraps until today. All-access passes are on sale at mpmf.com forwhat is arguably the best music festival value in the nation."We've always offered a wide array of music styles, but this year's lineup has really developed into somethingspecial and diverse," said Dan McCabe, creative director. "I think fans would be hard pressed to find anotherfestival that can give you a bigger bang for your buck."Experience live music for three daysThe 13th annual festival will present three exciting days of live music on 14 stages in the Over-the-Rhine and Downtown neighborhoods. While the event maintains its status as a primary showcase for emerging independent talent, there's no denying that this year's edition has raised the bar in booking established artists.Cincinnati-music fans should take note that MidPoint welcomes one the most acclaimed local bands to break out in the 90s, The Afghan Whigs, who have stormed back better than ever with their first studio album in the past 16 years. MidPoint will be the only regional appearance for the band during their current world tour.MidPoint will also be the tour kickoff for Chromeo, the "funk lordz" from Toronto, who are contending for the song of the summer with their single Jealous (I ain't with it). Washington Park should expect a dance party with the band's huge lightshow. Consequence of Sound called them a "must-see live show for any festival."Additionally, the festival will host some well-established names from the indie-music world over the past decade, including OK Go, The Raveonettes, Panda Bear, Sun Kil Moon and Joseph Arthur. Bands like Real Estate, St. Paul & the Broken Bones and Jessica Lea Mayfield are newer, but no less widely known.Longtime MidPoint fans might also notice a wider array of music styles. The lineup still features a healthyamount of pop and indie rock, but organizers have listened to fans' suggestions, adding more:Country Nikki Lane, Margo & the Price Tags, Bulletville;Folk Lost in the Trees, Mutual Benefit, Woody Pines, Honey Locust, The Ridges;R&B St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Magnolia Sons, The Almighty Get Down;Blues Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, No Sinner, Left Lane Cruiser;Heavy Metal Deafheaven, Liturgy; as well as more dance-oriented sounds likeHip-hop/EDM Tycho, Dessa, WHY?, Body Language, and Parallels.Experience new venues for young and oldFestival venues continue to evolve with great new, larger stages at Memorial Hall and Christian Moerlein Brewery. Younger fans will able see more showcases than ever with all-ages stages at the Contemporary Arts Center, Taft Ballroom, Memorial Hall, the MidPoint Midway, Christian Moerlein Outdoor Stage and Washington Park. In fact, children under 10 years of age can attend our Washington Park showcases for free with a paying adult. With afternoon music programmed for Washington Park on Saturday that could be just what the doctor ordered for parents who seldom get out to concerts.Experience a unique festival atmosphereSince 2001, MidPoint's goal has been to help you discover your new favorite band. Our embrace of today'semerging artists is born of the same spirit employed by Cincinnati's celebrated musical pioneers, who alwaysreached for something new. This festival isn't as much about the flavor-of-the-month, but rather atastemaker's event where the bands performing will be what people are talking about next year.For three days, fans can walk easily between venues dotted throughout beautiful, resurgent Over-the-Rhine.This collection of young creative talent amongst an architecturally rich urban setting makes MidPoint a one-ofa-kind experience. Unlike some festivals on a farm or a huge fielded area that could be anywhere, MidPointcarries the heart of our city with intimate performances in smaller clubs and theaters. We think Cincinnati isone of the best music cities in the world. With MidPoint showcasing bands and our city's center, we areputting our best foot forward towards showing this is a great place to live, work and play.Everything is on an upswing in Over-the-Rhine and Downtown Cincinnati and we expect the fans to not justenjoy the music, but the wonderfully reimagined Washington Park, our handsome German-heritage buildingsand all of the newer hip restaurants, cafés and hi-tech companies that are making this one of the hottestregions of the Midwest.Experience food and fun on the MidwayWe realize that not everyone can afford to attend a music festival, so we've tried to make a small part of itaccessible to everyone with our outdoor MidPoint Midway. All of the music programmed here is free, thanksin part to the help of festival sponsor P&G.The Midway takes up about two blocks on 12th Street in Over-the-Rhine. Fans at the Midway can find festivalessentials such as food and beer trucks, various vendors and the return of the artistic installations coordinatedwith the help of ArtWorks. (More on that in the coming weeks.)MidPoint's box office is also at the Midway, where fans will purchase All-Access, VIP, or single-day passes.Bicycles encouragedIt is fairly easy to hop from show to show, but with 10 venues in Over-the-Rhine and four located downtown,not every showcase will be a quick walk. But it is a quick bike ride. Festival organizers will continue to partnerwith the City of Cincinnati to place a number of bike racks in strategic locations. We encourage everyone tosave their feet for the dance floor and bring their bike to get to those must-see bands faster.MidPoint Music Festival highlights to look for:Thursday September 25Chromeo; Panda Bear; St. Paul & the Broken Bones; Sun Kil Moon; Lost in the Trees; and Nikki LaneFriday September 26The Afghan Whigs; Tycho; Real Estate; Wussy; WHY?; Dessa; Rubblebucket; and Jessica Lea MayfieldSaturday September 27OK Go; The Raveonettes; Deafheaven; Empires; EMA; Earth; Saintseneca; and Speedy OrtizCincinnati USA represent:Automagik; Black Owls; Bulletville; Culture Queer; Darlene; Fathers; Fists of Love; Heavy Hinges; Honey &Houston; Honeyspiders; Injecting Strangers; Leggy; Molly Sullivan; Old City; Prim; Public; Smasherman; StateSong; The Afghan Whigs; The Almighty Get Down; The Ready Stance; Us, Today; WHY?; and WussyA full performance schedule is now online at MPMF.com/festival.

The Blinds Spot by SelectBlinds
I walked through the Houston Airport craving something to satisfy my travel hunger. Despite my diligence and growling stomach, I was suddenly distracted by this exciting "wood divider" between two rows of chairs in an open lounge. Wood branches twisted in all different directions that ascended to the ceiling. I was in awe. I thought, What a great piece! I could see this in my home, my entertaining space, or in my master bedroom. I was mesmerized by it. As I walked slowly around it, I gazed in appreciation, unaware of the people sitting in the lounge and probably wondering what in the world I was doing. I let out a small awkward laugh, snapped a photo with my phone and moved on.
Now, I realize that designers can obsess over things that many others don't even notice. I have spent many paused moments admiring a ceiling application, a texture on a wall, a pattern on a rug, and even synchronized lighting. The very thing that I am drawn to, however, is one of the elements that my clients hire me to create in their spaces. It's the statement piece. It's a focal point. These are items that are eye stoppers. It's that piece when you walk into a space and it demands your attention. It's that piece that many times inspires my entire design for a room. Not all focal points are created equal though. They can't compete with other items in the room. They coordinate with the all other items in a space, yet still stand alone. They're the diamond necklace that completes a fabulous outfit.
Focal Points can be an exotic rug, an accent chair with a bold pattern, a side table with ornate legs, a piece of artwork, an oversized bright vase, a centerpiece on your table, or anything that grabs your attention in a good way. Key words here: GOOD WAY. An eye sore is not a focal point. Those items officially become distractions. I'm laughing here... because I think we all know what those are! While I realize this is subjective and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, make sure your statement pieces consider today's design trends or serve as cohesive elements in your overall style. For example, if you have a very modern space with clean lines and bold patterns, adding an oversized, traditional oil painting with an ornate gold frame will not serve as a focal point. Just because something grabs your attention, doesn't mean it's a statement piece. Dining rooms are spaces we don't use on a daily basis, so consider a fun, oversized seasonal centerpiece that is eye catching. Perhaps you won't be sitting at that table each day, but as you pass by it, why not add a statement piece to put a smile on your face?
Focal Points can be fun and whimsical too. They can transform a stale and lifeless space to a fun and lively one! They also enhance the theme, textures, and colors in your space. You can surely have more than one focal point as well but it should still be a part of the overall style. When all of the elements in a space are considered and merge together, they create harmony and consistency. Here is my checklist of the items I review when designing a space:
- Wall color (since this is the largest surface space in a room, consider a color that is timeless.)- Furniture (while all pieces don't need to match, they should coordinate.)- Textures (can be on a wall, in fabrics, drapery & window coverings, a rug, flooring, etc.)- Flooring (usually the second largest surface area, it should be something that - Theme (if there is one)- Color palette (can be the accent color or colored carried throughout the space in various items.)- Statement piece / focal point (the eye stopper, the item that grabs your attention.) - Accessories and décor (artwork, tabletop items, wall art, candles, etc.)- Lighting (it's the frosting on the cake. No matter how great a space, it must be lit properly to enhance the mood you wish to create.)
What I love about focal points is the freedom of expression they provide. Focal points are those elements in a space where you can really spread your wings! They have personality; they say something without uttering a word. For example, I had a homeowner when I worked on HGTV's "My First Place" who was a professional race car driver. So, I created a theme in his living room that was an extension of his love for cars. I printed out large canvases of his favorite vehicles, moments, and scenes that were all about racing. On the room's largest wall, I found an oversized metal sculpture of a car. This was my statement piece. I even created window treatment rods that looked like exhaust pipes on a car! It was such a fun space and most importantly, he loved it! It was an extension of him. The entire design was centered around that metal sculpture, which was the first item I found to inspire his space. So have fun with these focal points! I can promise you if find that statement piece and let is serve as the inspiration for your entire room, you're going to be happy you did.
Window Coverings can also serve as great focal points. Don't think of window coverings as merely functional. They are a key ingredient in any space! If you want to create a focal point in your window coverings, select a style that either has a bold color or vibrant pattern. Here are two of my top picks from the @Home Collection by Carriann Johnson:
Follow these tips when creating focal points in your home and your spaces will have that statement you crave!
Happy Decorating!

January 2015 is here!! Woohoo! How excited are you for this New Year? It's that month that brings a sense of rejuvenation. Dust off the old, invent the new and add some zazzle to your life in only a way that you know how! While September has me craving freshly sharpened pencils, January begs for that freshly sharpened eye....for me anyway. And as I tuck away the Christmas décor and get a jump start on cleaning and organizing, I get anxious to share some valuable tips with you. Tips that help you "take the ugly out of your home!" We all want harmonious spaces that we enjoy. After all, when's the last time someone told you "I love when my home looks ugly?" So as you start this New Year with vigor and anticipation, consider some of my tips to help you beautify your home. Remove the Eye Sores
Look around your room and ask yourself these questions: Would I purchase this today in a store? Do I absolutely love this item? Is this piece I like to sit on? Do I love the wall color? What would encourage me to come into this room more and enjoy it? The answers to these questions will help you identify your eye sores. Look for items that are dusty and old, brass fixtures and finishes, dated styles, harsh patterns or dated colors, items too small to fill a wall or items too large on a small one. Styles that clash with one another, aged wallpaper, broken items you can't repair, or fixtures that have been there way too long are all dating your spaces and creating eye sores. Consider stopping by your local bookstore to gain some inspiration in the Design Magazines section or look online at your favorite stores and see what styles and trends they are featuring. Then mirror your space after the current ones you like.Accept the Design Trends
I understand holding on to a style you love. But no matter how passionate you are about lace doilies, mauve wallpaper or brass fixtures, accept that they are out of style and no longer fashionable! If you desire a space that has the latest colors and styles, then you must evolve with the times. There's no way around it. If you want a current and fashionable look, letting go of the past is essential. And here's the good news...today's trends are flexible and cater to all different tastes. I've also noticed that when it comes to current designs and colors, that as long as you follow the general blueprint for them, you can add your own personality to them and still have current design trends in your home. Make a Date With Yourself
You wouldn't start making a recipe without checking for all the ingredients, right? The same rule applies to designing a space. Putting together a great space can take time, organizing, patience, and proper scheduling. Start your project first by making a checklist of all the items you need for your space. Create a budget list as well so you are well aware of what you are going to spend on this project. Then, schedule dates on your calendar when you are going to execute your design. Schedule shopping dates, painting dates, renovation needs, assembly dates, etc.. If you do this, you eliminate any unnecessary stress. You also set realistic expectations. I have witnessed many homeowners stress themselves out by trying to accomplish their projects in unrealistic time frames with unrealistic budgets. Plan ahead of time (including people that may need to help you), and you will actually enjoy the project, the process, and the end result!
Make The Decision for Change
You know what space in your home where you walk in the room and you silently sigh at it but don't know why? It's your least favorite room in the house. And there's something about this space that nearly makes your blood boil or has you reaching for that itch to scratch. Perhaps it's that room that you've needed to re-organize, clean, paint, decorate, or add window coverings. Well, here's a little secret.....it's going to continue to be an eye sore until you make the decision to change it. After all, everything in our lives is attitude, right? I've always designed my spaces with a golden rule: "I will LOVE every inch of every room in my spaces if I approach them that way." Even a laundry room or walk-in pantry can be a fun space if you adopt the right mindset towards it. I once had a friend who was at my home walk past my laundry room and said, "Your laundry room looks nicer than my master bedroom!" What a compliment, right? I wanted to enjoy the room so I made the decision that I would design the space in a way that I would love going in that room and not dread it. And guess what?.... I did. I painted the walls a grayish-brown color, installed some really nice cabinets, added a chandelier (instead of the fluorescent overhead one) and hung some nice photography prints on the wall.
Get Your Shades On!
The ingredients that make a space successful are the proper balance of color palette, style and/or theme, furniture, rugs (if needed), accessories, lighting, textures and window coverings. When I see people skip the window coverings, I am easily able to define what is missing in their space. Especially if the space feels sterile or lacks that cozy factor. Window Coverings not only help you direct light, provide privacy, and insulate but they also add design features that will enhance your space. It's one more area of your room where you can showcase your colors, textures, theme, and style. Have a look at these at these spaces above. Imagine the space without any window shades. Without window coverings, the space feels incomplete! Add window coverings to your spaces and you will see a drastic difference. Follow these tips when taking the ugly out of your home and you're sure to fall in love with your home all over again!
Happy Decorating!
We all want it. Here's how you get it...
Happy December, everyone! Can you even believe that I'm saying that? I can't either. It feels like yesterday that I was telling myself, "Christmas is only 4 months away!" Ahhh! And here we are. As temperatures plummet, it's only natural to start craving comfort foods like chili, meatloaf, and hot cocoa. The electric blankets are making their way from the hall closet to our beds. Those warm sweaters and extra thick clothing items are pushed to the front of our closets as our calendars inch closer and closer to "First day of Winter". The reality of the season is upon us. (Sniffle).
While many of us anxiously wait all year for the soothing temperatures of Summer, most of us live in climates where temperatures drop and seasons change. So if you can't afford to move to the Canary Islands where temperatures year round are 64 - 77 degrees, then why not embrace each season by looking at the positive? After all, attitude is everything, right? Part of that attitude is acclimating to the changes that need to take place in our homes. While it may be chilly outside, consider some of my design tips to cozy up your home this winter!
Add A Wall Mounted Electric Fireplace
I was sitting in the lobby of a local business and saw one of these mounted on the wall. As I walked over it to it, I discovered that it actually was radiating heat from it! "How awesome is that?" I thought. Imagine the possibilities in your home? How about that room that never seems to get warm enough? That space that doesn't allow for a fireplace but you've always wanted one? In your dining room where you know you'll be entertaining guests anyway? After a few minutes on the internet, I discovered all different shapes, sizes, colors, and price ranges on these. Perhaps there's one that meets your needs?
A Basket of Slippers
Place a basket of slippers near the front door to encourage guests (and yourself!) to keep their feet warm. Cold feet and hands are to be expected in the winter months....but they don't have to be inside your home. Find a large, fun basket that coordinates with your décor and fill it with 6-8 pairs of slippers. Make them different colors and sizes to accommodate everyone. I can promise you that you will love this idea, especially when you notice your basket is empty and smiles are all over your home!
Soften all those hard surfaces
Our senses are a portal to our moods. Ever notice how everyone starts to feel better as we approach the dinner table for a meal? Or how we immediately feel like taking a nap when we snuggle up on a cozy chair or sofa? Or how happy we may feel when we hear one of our favorite songs as we enter a restaurant or a clothing store? The smell of apple pie or cinnamon can calm our soul. Upon discovering a faux fur pillow or blanket, we may find ourselves protecting it like a newborn! Our surroundings can surely alter our moods. Successful interior design occurs when the human element is considered. Spaces can have the illusion they are colder than they actually are when they don't invite us into them. Here is my list of items to add to hard surface spaces that immediately add the cozy factor:
* Add a wool or heavy cashmere blanket and/or pillows to a leather sofa.
* Add a rug under seating areas, even if the floor is carpeted. (Rugs also help define a space, so it's a double win!) Add rugs to hard surfaces like tile and wood floors. Especially under dining tables and kitchen tables. Feeling something soft under your feet while you eat encourages you to slow down, enjoy your meal, and the moment. * Add florals, silks, or artificial greens to tabletop areas. A space that has a lot of hard surfaces will also have a lot of noise reflection. If you can hear an echo in your space, chances are it needs some 'warming up' with the right décor items. Adding florals is the fail-proof cure. Notice how this foyer looks in this home. The floral on the hall table, the rug, and the pillows and throw on the bench all invite you into this warm and cozy space.
I can't say enough great things about candles. Not only do they add color to our spaces ,but (when lit) they add ambiance. They let off heat. They change the entire mood of a space! Coordinate with your seasonal décor and don't forget....to use them!! Light them. All of them!! Window Coverings For Warmth
You wouldn't bake a birthday cake and not add frosting to it, right? The same idea applies to great spaces. They are by far one of the most overlooked areas of your home that add function, style, color, warmth, design, and help insulate. I've always loved standard window panels to complement windows. Choose a panel that is a part of your color palette within the space. You'll be happy you did!
Warm Colored Shades
Choose a color palette that coordinates with the colors in your space. A warm color will always soften the look in your room and create warmth. And if you select just the right color,you will have a timeless look that lasts for years to come.
Follow these tips when making your home cozy this Season and it will have you feeling warm all the way to Spring!
Happy Decorating!
Carriann Johnson
Can you feel that new vibe in the air? Decorations and colors of all kinds for every holiday are creeping their way into retailers. One store has up Christmas trees, the other already has lit up pumpkins on clearance and now fashion retailers are starting to promote Spring fashion! It's a crazy time that can frantically drive someone right to Pinterest just to obtain some visuals on this madness. Even as an Interior Designer, I can spiral into a panicked dance like that of a squirrel trying to cross the road (and then changes his mind to dash back to the ditch). This is that time of year where we start thinking about all of the holidays that are fast approaching. And it seems that once Halloween is upon us, the ball starts rolling and our homes become the stage for gatherings, festivities, hosted parties, and tons of hungry mouths. From our dinner tables to our fireplaces, our homes become the backdrop for 4 wonderfully fun holidays - Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. And if you're like me, you like your home to keep you, your family, your friends, and your guests in the holiday spirit! With all the craziness and hectic schedules of our lives, sometimes the simple things like sipping a hot apple cider on a Sunday afternoon, smelling the aroma of a nutmeg candle on November 21st, or hearing a crackling fireplace in the middle of December can sooth our soul like nothing else. But before you daydream of those blissful moments, let's plan. The stage is our home and I'm happy to navigate you through the process of Decorating your Home For the Holidays! (This is a good time to set the mood by playing your favorite music in the background while you read the rest of this article. :) )
Step 1 - "The Swap"
It's easy to incorporate new seasonal décor, but how do you avoid that cluttered look? Swap out items already in your spaces with seasonal items. Don't just add items without subtracting others. For example, if you are decorating for Thanksgiving, swap out your current candles or centerpiece with one that is filled with Fall colors. Change out plain white candles with deep red ones or butterscotch colored candles. Swap out your everyday sofa pillows with seasonal pillows. Exchange your standard white lamp shade with a red one at Christmas, and so on. Think of ways to incorporate your theme and colors of the season and swap them out with fun, festive items!Step 2 - "Complement and Coordinate"
I've seen far too many people make the mistake of incorporating Holiday décor into their existing styles and not take their existing space into consideration. They love their holiday décor and they love their everyday décor but they don't like when the two come together. Here's how you avoid this common mistake.... Choose seasonal and Holiday décor that complements or coordinates with your existing colors and styles. For example, if you have a modern living room that has dark blues, browns, and ivories in your color palette, don't add the traditional red and green Christmas decorations. Consider adding all silver décor, gold décor, or even blue décor. It's out there, trust me. Christmas colors are no longer just red and green and Thanksgiving colors are not just orange and red. While shopping, I've seen fun things like purple pumpkins, lime green pilgrim statues, and even a solid orange Santa Claus! Take some time, shop wisely, and you will find just what your space needs to compliment your existing style. Step 3 - "Quality Over Quantity"
Our homes can start looking more like we are having an indoor garage sale than celebrating the current holiday. Your home will look like your hired a Designer when you keep things simple and choose your holiday décor wisely. I'd rather see a huge holiday wreath over your mantle filled with quality gourds, tasteful colors, and a unique flare to it (and that's ALL), than a living room that's filled with 25-20 small items crammed on to every end table, coffee table, and hanging from the ceiling with colored string. This is a time where less is more. Invest in a great holiday accent item that makes a statement. Thick outdoor garland with ample amounts of lights on it streaming around your front doorway with a natural pine wreath will look far nicer than a front porch that has so many plastic blown up holiday creatures you can barely stand on the porch with them. Save the front lawn for that, it has more room!
Step 4 - "Don't Forget Those Shades!"
I'm not talking sunglasses here. Take a moment and pause...and think of that busted cord, the discolored shade, the blind that no longer works, the window covering that you despise but have been putting off its replacement...what about that window covering that doesn't block that nasty winter draft? You know who you are and yes, I'm talking to you! Hasn't it been long enough? It's time to take some action. I've already done some of the work for you. When that time comes that you're sitting in your living room celebrating the holidays, you'll thank me as you gaze upon your windows and can't take your eyes off the gift that you purchased for your home...WINDOW COVERINGS! Here are some of my recommendations for great windows shades for this time of year. Not only do they provide an insulating component and help with those nasty drafts, but they look fabulous! Wood Alloy Shades.
Not only do wood alloy shades add richness and elegance to your space, but the fit just about any style! These are great for a variety of styles such as Traditional, Coastal themes, Modern, and even Cottage Style. The thickness of each wood slat provides the perfect barrier for any drafts. The S-Curve option adds a new dimension and an elegant look to the blind. The no-holes privacy option is also available on these wood alternative blinds. Designer Screens.
These stylish window shades will compliment any space! I promise you won't regret selecting these in your home. These shades gently filter sun light providing UV protection and minimizing glare while maintaining your view outside. They also allow the beauty of all Seasons to be seen, even when they are lowered. These are perfect for styles such as Coastal, Modern, and transitional. Ideal for living rooms, theatre rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Follow these tips when getting your home ready for this Holiday season and you're sure to be all smiles!
The smell of freshly sharpened pencils are now replaced with that earthy nip in the air. Your mornings may greet you with thoughts of turning on your furnace while you drag yourself into this new time of year. But there is such a beauty that comes with the Fall Season!! And if you're like me, it's your favorite time of year. Candy corn is pouring into my bloodstream like water and my creativity shoots though the roof! This season not only begs for a palette of harvest colors in our home, but spaces that embrace us and bring warmth as the cold creeps in. With all that excitement going on outside, why not bring some of it indoors? If you like your home to have that Fall Festive Flare, than consider some of my design insights and I promise your home will hug you! As you prepare for Fall, consider some of these items and I promise that your home won't have you feeling the cold. Consider some of my favorite items to add to the Season:
Wreaths. They're not just for front doors! Consider a wreath that is made of branches and add your own gourds, mini pumpkins, ribbons, Fall ornaments or even earthly items you find outside in nature. You can hang them with ribbon over large picture windows, above your fireplace, in stairwells, on accent walls, or even on interior doors such as pantries and closets.
Candles & Scents. There are so many great scents out there to capture the mood of the season. And they can take you well into Thanksgiving. Cinnamon, Apple Spice, Cider, Pumpkin, and fig are all great options that will fill your home with amazing seasonal scents. They also add a great splash of Fall color! Plug-ins with these great smells will add that extra zest in your home as well. Fall Garland. Wrap around chandeliers, doorways, mirrors, fireplaces, stair railings, and even windows. Earthy Finds. What's so wonderful about this time of year is the many places you can venture outside and collect the dried and dead items that are all around our Fall landscapes. Things like twigs, wild grasses, acorns, branches, nuts, and cattails are easy to find. Purchase a can of orange, brown, or black spray paint and paint a few items for an inexpensive way to make your home super festive!
Throws, pillows and Slippers. Not only does a warm cup of coffee or cocoa warm us up, but so do those soft elements that invite the 'cozy factor.' Adding items like a basket of slippers right near your front door encourage yourself and your guests to kick off those shoes without losing the warmth. Purchase as many as you need in different sizes and leave in a decorative basket near your front door or where guests enter your home. Soft blankets and throws in Fall colors will bring those festive colors into your space as well. Accent pillows with Fall patterns or embroidered seasonal images will make your space pop with fun designs. Faux Leaves. What an inexpensive way to add huge fun to your home! Sprinkle faux leaves on side tables, a dining buffet, dining table centerpieces, decorative shelves, and even bath tub surrounds. You'll be amazed at how much they add to the feel of the season!
Enhance Your Window Coverings
Now is the best time to upgrade your window coverings to ones that will insulate and eliminate those nasty drafts that make their way through our windows. Take it one step further by caulking all windows prior to installing your new shades! Consider these shades to help insulate your windows and help with those ever increasing utility bills! When shopping for the perfect shade, keep in mind...the more fabric and material that is up against your window, the more insulation you will have. Roman Shades. They provide a tailored look and offer durable fabrics to block out those unwanted drafts. You can choose from the hobbled option, top down bottom up, continuous cord loop, and cordless for additional safety. You can also add liners to the shades to allow even more energy efficiency. I love how Roman Shades add that touch of elegance to your space. Coordinate with a color that already compliments the color palette within your space. If you have a sage green comforter ensemble, consider a shade green roman shade to tie the color in throughout your room. These are great for a variety of styles such as Traditional, Coastal themes, Modern, and even Cottage Style.
Double Cellular. When it comes to extreme temperatures, two cells are always better than one! The Double Cellular Shade offers two cells of fabric which offer that extra insulating factor. Cellular shades are timeless and fit any style of décor from Ultra Modern to Traditional. Choose your colors and designs wisely and you will have window shades that compliment your home for years. Consider patterns such as Corkboard Granite, Iron Scroll Black Rose, or Brushed Orange Linen instead of a standard white or off white and your space is surely to look as if you hired a professional Designer!

Middle: Iron Scroll Black Rose
Right: Brushed Orange Linen

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
In her smart Los Angeles Times op-ed, "E-Gitator" Laurie David (as she was dubbed in a lavish spread in Vanity Fair's current "Green Issue,") observes that "the issue of global warming is finally catapulting toward a tipping point. With the debate firmly behind us, the focus is turning to solutions....the dots are finally being connected and global warming is fast becoming recognized as the most critical issue of our time."
David goes on to note that "the only place not feeling the heat is the White House..the Bush Administration is unmoved." But I'd argue that the Bush administration has already conceded that climate change is real. Why? Because they treat information about climate change the way they treat the truth about the Iraq war. They scrub data from websites. They rewrite science with political spin. And they give scientists like James Hansen at NASA what I would call the "Shinseki treatment"--they silence them; cut them off from reporters.
The global, fact-based evidence is too overwhelming, and the public is ready to deal with this problem, even if the administration can't or won't.
Even some (moderate) evangelicals have seen the light. In February, the Evangelical Climate Initiative was formed. Its mission: advocating personal, religious and commercial action to combat global warming.
But just in time for Earth Day, a new coalition of evangelical leaders --with close ties to the Bush White House--have launched a campaign to try to persuade pastors and churchgoers that concerns about global warming are unfounded. The Interfaith Stewardship Alliance, supported by Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, says it will provide information to parishioners and try to influence sermons.
Maybe the escalating battle among evangelicals over the environment and global warming will produce some moral heat and light. In the meantime, let's expose Dobson and acolytes for what they are: The deniers and procrastinators of our age.

The Ultimate Wreck-Diving Guide was the seminal book on technical diving: the primogenitor of its kind It was written at a time when nitrox, accelerated decompression, helium mixes, rebreathers, and other emerging techniques and technologies were yet in their infancy The publication of the original volume propelled deep diving into far deeper realms of the dark abyss
The Ultimate, as it came to be called, was considered pure heresy by those who opposed progress The purpose of the book was to introduce to the information-starved masses that a small group of exploratory divers was stretching the underwater envelope, and how they went about doing it Call it an awareness guide
Ignited by the author's vision, technical diving has taken off like a launched rocket, accelerating faster with each passing moment and carrying with it a payload of unknown dividends What began as new phase in the slow progress of underwater exploration has grown with lightning like speed
Evolution became revolution Almost overnight, the concepts of "high tech" and "extended range" diving entered the forefront of human awareness The rite of passage is over Technical diving has come of age Underwater explorers can now share the benefits of space-age spin-off hardware and developing decompression methodologies The present volume incorporates recent innovations that were unavailable until only a few years ago, and in some cases were nonexistent when its predecessor first saw print
Acquaint yourself now with such new and exciting devices as the programmable nitrox wrist decompression computer, the personal computer interface, the hoseless pressure gauge, a heads-up mask display, decompression software for laptops, a submersible electric heating pad, and more
Also included in this handbook are equations and tips for blending nitrox, trimix, heliox, and heliair; instructions on how to build an in-water oxygen decompression station; the procedures and the chemicals needed to clean tanks, valves, and regulators for oxygen service; and a complete chapter on how to plan and conduct expedition style mix-gas diving operations The previous book was the ultimate This one goes beyond
About the Author
Gary Gentile started his diving career in 1970 Since then, he has made more than 1,000 decompression dives, over 100 of them on the Andrea Doria He has specialized in wreck diving and shipwreck research, concentration on wrecks along the East Coast, from Newfoundland to Key West, and in the Great Lakes
He has written dozens of articles for magazines and has published thousands of photographs in books, periodicals, newspapers, brochures, museum displays, film and television He lectures extensively on wilderness and underwater topics, and conducts seminars on advanced wreck diving techniques and high-tech diving equipment He is the author of several books on nonfiction diving and nautical and shipwreck history

Comments about The Technical Diving Handbook, by Gary Gentile:
I bought this book as a non-technical diver looking to learn more about the Technical diving world. It is a well written book, written in Gary Gentile's characteristic engaging style, conveying a lot of information in a very informal style. Although it is meant as a reference book, it is laced throughout with anecdotes, and I found it a sufficiently engaging read that I almost read it cover to cover the day that I opened it.
Not fabulously well constructed, but still very informative, entertaining and well written. Good value at the price.

Effects of Contingent and Non-Continguent Tutor-Received Reinforcement on Peer Tutoring
Boal, Steven
MetadataShow full item record
The Problem: To determine the effect of peer tutoring by ninth grade math students; under the conditions of no reinforcement, tutor-received reinforcement that is contingent upon tutee homework improvement, and tutor received non-contingent reinforcement; on low achieving seventh grade math students' performance and attitude change. Procedure: Ss served in either the nontutored control condition, the tutor received non-contingent reinforcement condition (NCR), or the tutor-received contingent reinforcement condition (CR). During phase 1 no specific reinforcement was received by the control Ss, tutors, or tutees. During phase 2 each tutor in the CR condition received reinforcement each week that his tutee scored above his baseline homework performance which had been determined at the end of phase 1. The NCR tutors received reinformcement in the same frequency as the CR tutors but regardless of tutee homework performance. Changes in performance were measured by the California Arithmetic Test, an attitude survey, grades, and homework. Conclusions: Homework performance significantly differed under the three conditions with the CR tutees best, followed by the NCR tutees, and finally the nontutored Ss. The tutored Ss maintained significantly more positive statements on the attitude survey than the control Ss. No significant differences between treatment groups were found for math achievement or grades. Recommentaions: Further study under conditons on tutor-received reinforcement, tutee-received reinforcement, and combined tutor and tutee-received reinforcement should be conducted to find the relative merits of each condition.

Monterey Regional Airport (IATA: MRY, ICAO: KMRY, FAA LID: MRY) is three miles (5 km) southeast of Monterey, in Monterey County, California, USA. It was created in 1936[1] and was known as the Monterey Peninsula Airport until the board of directors renamed it on September 14, 2011.[2]
The airport is owned by the several municipalities that make up the Monterey Peninsula Airport District. It is a public entity and its five-member board of directors is publicly elected.[3]
The airport has its origins with flights from the polo field of the Hotel Del Monte in 1910. In 1941, local communities formed the Monterey Peninsula Airport District and acquired land to build an airport. World War II intervened, and the U.S. Navy leased the land, opening Naval Auxiliary Air Station Monterey on May 23, 1943. The Navy remained at the airport until 1972.[4]
Monterey-Salinas Transit is the public ground transit organization at the airport.
The airport covers 597 acres (242 ha) and has two runways:
- 10R/28L: 7,404 x 150 ft (2,257 x 46 m) asphalt
- 10L/28R: 3,503 x 60 ft (1,068 x 18 m) asphalt

On June 14, 1964 at about 7:35 pm a Piper PA-28 (tail number N5384W) hit trees in Monterey, California, killing the 34-year-old student pilot. The investigation into the fatal accident revealed that the pilot misjudged his altitude, flying too low and under the influence of alcohol. The crash also caused the Piper to catch fire.[11]
On August 17, 1968 at about 12:36 pm, a Cessna 210 (tail number N9676T) stalled while landing at the Monterey Peninsula Airport. During the landing, the 48-year-old pilot suffered a heart attack, which caused his Cessna to stall. The Cessna was destroyed upon impact. The pilot had about 5,743 flight hours of experience.[12]
On July 26, 1979 at about 9:43 pm a Cessna 320A (tail number N3005R) crashed during its final approach to Monterey. The 62-year-old pilot used improper Instrument Flight Rules operations. The pilot had about 3,621 flight hours.[13]
On August 23, 1984 at about 8:51 pm a Cessna 320C (tail number N7AE) departed from Monterey under Special Visual Flight Rules with a 58-year-old pilot and four passengers. At about 8:55 pm Air Traffic Control advised N7AE to turn left to avoid rising terrain. The Cessna was unable to avoid the terrain, crashed, and caught fire; all aboard died. The investigation revealed that the pilot made poor decisions and did not follow instructions from Air Traffic Control. The pilot had about 2,041 hours of flight experience.[14]
On July 27, 1985 a Piper PA-28-235 (tail number N15548) took off from Monterey to practice holding patterns over Monterey Bay. About twelve minutes into the flight, the 60-year-old pilot radioed Air Traffic Control, "Mayday, rough engine." The Piper disappeared from Air Traffic Control's radar at about 1300 feet. Later the United States Coast Guard discovered pieces of the Piper in the ocean. The investigation revealed that the pilot used improper procedures. The pilot had about 1,923 hours of flight experience.[15]
On July 24, 1987 a Piper PA-32R-301T (tail number N82793) was cleared for an Instrument Landing System approach when the 39-year-old pilot decided to conduct a go around procedure. About thirty seconds after initiating the procedure, the pilot radioed Air Traffic Control, "Seven niner three, in trouble." Sixteen seconds later another transmission is broadcast, "I have, I have an emergency back here." The Piper was seen making a 400-foot descent below assigned altitude and disappeared into Monterey Bay. A boater who witnessed the collision reported seeing the Piper "dive out" of a cloud and colliding with the water. The investigation revealed that the pilot experienced spatial disorientation and lacked instrument flying time. The pilot had about 528 hours of flight experience.[16]
On September 8, 1987, at about 5:50 pm, a Beechcraft 95 (tail number N845B), being flown by a 31-year-old student pilot, was conducting multi-engine training at Monterey. The pilot started practicing Instrument Landing System approaches. During an approach for a landing, the Beechcraft crashed into the ground. The investigation revealed that there was inadequate supervision during the training exercise. The pilot and student pilot were killed.[17]
On June 24, 1992 a Cessna 421B (tail number N628RJ), the 40-year-old pilot and two passengers took off from Monterey. About three minutes after takeoff the Cessna collided with a hill about three miles east of the airport. The investigation revealed that ground fog and overconfidence in the pilot caused the accident. All three were killed. The pilot had about 75 hours of flight experience.[18]
On August 7, 1997 at about 8:00 pm a Grumman American AA-5 (tail number N6086L) took off from Monterey. The Grumman was later found 18 miles south of the airport. It had crashed into the mountains which caused the Grumman to catch fire. The 31-year-old pilot had about 4,000 hours of flight experience.[19]
On October 12, 1997 at about 5:28 pm a Rutan Long-EZ (tail number N555JD) being flown by John Denver crashed into Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California. After taking off from Monterey the Long-EZ started its climb then descended into bay. The investigation revealed that the collision was caused by the fuel valve selector being in an improper position. Inadequate flight planning also contributed to the collision. John Denver had about 2,750 hours of flight experience.[20]

Standing seam metal roofs:
This article explains the proper installation, fastening, and flashing details for standing seam metal roofs. Standing-seam roofing consists of individual panels that run the length of the roof with a high rib up each side of the panels.
The ribs overlap and lock together, concealing the fasteners and giving the roofing its name.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Standing-Seam Metal Roofing Installation Practices & Details
Adapted/paraphrased with permission from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, chapter on BEST ROOFING PRACTICES:
The hidden fasteners allow thermal movement in the panels and are less likely to leak than exposed fasteners. However, some trim pieces are still fastened with exposed screws.
The smooth surface of a standing-seam roof provides a cleaner appearance and is easier to keep clear of leaf debris than tile, wood, or other textured roofing surfaces.
Also, it can be walked on when necessary. Snow slides off easily as well, making this a popular choice in high snow regions. The cost is generally 25% to 50% more than an exposed-fastener roof of similar materials.
Materials Used in Standing Seam Metal Roofs
Standing-seam panels are 8 to 24 inches wide and available in steel, copper, and aluminum with a wide array of finishes (discussed below). Stiffening ribs may be added to wider panels to reduce waviness (oil-canning). Thicknesses for quality residential applications are typically 24 or 26 gauge, but lighter and heavier stock is also available.
Standing seam metal roof installers can form panels on-site from coil stock with portable roll-forming equipment, or they can order factory-made panels from a growing number of metal roofing manufacturers. Most factory-made panels have snaptogether seams, eliminating the need for special crimping equipment used by site fabricators. In most cases, panels are fabricated to run from eaves to ridge, eliminated the need for end lap joints.
Installation Specifications for Standing Seam Metal Roofs
On new homes, most panels are installed over a solid plywood deck with minimum No. 30 felt underlayment. Metal roofing manufacturers recommend plywood rather than OSB due to plywood's better screwholding ability.
Install the felt with plastic cap nails rather than metal buttons, which can cause corrosion when in contact with the roofing panels.
See GALVANIC SCALE & METAL CORROSION.
After installing the drip edge, install the first panel, making sure it is square to the bottom edge of the roof. If the roof is not square, pull the panel away from the rake so the first rib does not overhang the rake edge.
Later, the rake trim piece will cover any small discrepancies. If the panels have an integral screw flange, keep the screws just snug so the panels can move with temperature changes. The clips are designed to allow thermal movement.
The next panel fits over the first with an overlapping rib. Fit each panel to a line snapped up the roof, marking the edge of each panel. Without layout lines, the panels can build up an incremental error, throwing off the layout. As panels are installed and secured, the joints are easily locked together with hand pressure.
Traditional standingseam roofing required special motorized crimpers to lock the seams. While these are still used on some low-slope systems, most residential installations now use snap-together panels. Unless the layout works perfectly, the last panel will need to be cut along the opposite rake and bent with a hand seamer to form the end rib.
Reroofing Using Standing Seam Metal Roofs Over Other Roof Coverings?
Our standing seam barn roof re-roof photo (left) demonstrates that re-roofing with standing seam metal roofs over older buildings is a very old practice.
In this case the barn roof originally was covered with wood shingles, installed when the barn was constructed in the late 19th century in upstate New York.
Many installers will not install standing-seam roofing over existing asphalt shingles since the rough surface will tend to bind the panels and cause "oil-canning," as the panels move with temperature changes.
One option is to install the new metal roofing over 2x4 purlins nailed through the old roofing and shimmed to form an even plane.
Follow manufacturer's recommendations for spacing of purlins, typically no more than 24 inches on-center.
Flashing and Sealing Details for Standing Seam Metal Roofs
[Click to enlarge any image]
Typical standing seam metal roof flashing details are similar to those found in Figure 2-41 shown at left .
Manufacturers of preformed roofing panels provide eaves and rake flashings, ridge caps, and sidewall flashings in matching finishes, as well as coil stock for site fabrication.
Many flashings are
designed with hidden fasteners; others require exposed
gasketed screws. If you want to see the original installation details for the plumbing vent shown at above right, take a look at the photos and text at the bottom of our article
Follow manufacturers' recommendations regarding which sealants to use for compatibility with the roofing (typically butyl tape, or gunnable terpolymer butyl or urethane sealant).
In general, avoid acid-cure silicone (the type that smells like vinegar) as it can be corrosive to many metal finishes.

Standing Seam Metal Roof Seam Heights
Reader Question: 20 January 2015 Jack said:
What should be the minimum height of the standing seam for a 1.5"/12 roof?
The flange system metal roof is typically made with a seam height of 1 1/4" - also referred to as "Eco" seam by some manufacturers.
Flat or "Dutch" or locking type standing seams range in height from a low of about 1" to 2 3/8" with taller seams generally used on lower slopes.
For relatively low slopes like the 3:12 you cite you may need to go to the higher seam height to protect against leakage, especially in a snow-climate. For roofs you describe that are as low slope as 1.5 in 12, in a snow climate where there is risk of ice dams I I question if a standing seam roof would be recommended by some manufacturers.
But Atlas Roofing describes standing seam roofing products used for low slope roofs described as sloped to 2:12 or less over solid substrate. These roofs are covered with a locking type standing seam that is 2 3/8" in height.
OPINION: Watch out: even with a tight, tall locking standing seam roof, if your low -slope roof is subject to ice dams, snow blockage or any other condition that could cause water backup-s on the roof such that the water depth can ever exceed the seam height you can expect leak trouble.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
(Feb 3, 2012) New Metal Suppliers - Update said:
Question: underlayment for metal roofs installed atop existing roof surfaces?
AUTHOR:Anonymous (no email)
COMMENT:We have a project which has a steel truss roof system with a structural metal deck diaphragm (B deck type for seismic requirements)installed over the steel trusses.
We want to provide a standing seam roof over the structural metal deck. Slope is 3:12 and the attic is a cold attic. Do we have to provide any underlayment between the structural deck and the standing seam roof? Or can we just install the standing seam roofing directly over the structural deck. (The structural deck grooves are running perpendicular to the slop of the roof). Any assistance for the best installation procedures will be appreciated. You can reply to this e-mail: email@example.com.
Thank you,
James R.
You will probably need to install underlayment - being safer against galvanic or other corrosive problems and you might need more. Here are some example specifications from Best Buy Metals - bestbuymetals.com but you will want to check the installation specifications for the specific brand you are buying.
Also check standing seam height alternatives. For relatively low slopes like the 3:12 you cite you may need to go to the higher seam height to protect against leakage, especially in a snow-climate.
Here is another example specification from the Summit Pacific metal sales standing seam roof installation guide:
Question: can I add just partial snow guards on my metal roof?
(Oct 31, 2014) Mary said:
We see lots of metal roofs on which installers provided snow guards ONLY over entrances or other spots where there is extra risk. As long as snow falling off of other sections of the roof are not going to cause trouble, your approach is fine.

Lateral thinking: A diagonal approach to CO2 recycling has been explored for the formation of both functionalized and energetic chemicals featuring a reduced carbon center. The strategy relies on the tandem use of a functionalization reagent and a reductant that can be independently modified to access a wide spectrum of chemicals from CO2. It is exemplified with an organocatalytic process to convert CO2 into formamides (see picture).

Is anyone else experiencing an issue where playing the next song queued up in Google music causes the volume to go to the max? The actual volume indicator doesn't show max, but my ears sure did! This happens with the stock ear buds.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've been experiencing this one as well, for the last 2 (or maybe 3) nightly builds. Scenario: listening to Pandora or Stitcher, some alert or notification goes off, the music that was playing reduces volume while the notification sound plays, then the original music jumps straight to max volume. Using the volume controls on the original ear-buds to turn up/down, the volume adjusts as if it wasn't already maxed out.
I'm trying a different kernel to get get a fix to the wifi tether. Hopefully it will fix the max audio after notification bug as well.
Looks like this commit may help: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/32212/. I'm going to try a build of my own with this cherry-pick and I'll let you know.

Customer Reviews of MuscleTech Concentrated Series Nanostim 200 Capsules,
NANOSTIM - works great.4/29/2014
I tested it during swimming pool trainings. Works excellent, does not increase your heart rate to as it is on caffeine or energy drink. You usually feel more power and can exercise longer than usually. Muscles does not heart during workout and after you finish - I noticed shorter reaction time, and it is really keeps you more focused. I tried different products - and NANOSTIM is the best so far.
