"Erotic para normal series"
Max Ballmore is wonderful at doing the characters and bringing them to life, the emotions as well
Yes he is one of my favorite narrators.
It is an erotic para normal novel series, and this is the first book of the series. I like urban fantasy, and this covers it pretty good. The erotica also is pretty heavy so if you're not looking for that then pass this series by. It will only get more intense as each book progresses. I did enjoy the story and have continued through the entire series.Also there is some very intense and graphic depictions of torture. Each book has something along those lines. After all were dealing with demons.
Say something about yourself!
"Worst of the series so far"
This book was much easier to put down than any of the others. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't up to par compared to the rest. Most of the previous books, I listened to as straight through as I could. With this one, I've gone days without listening to it and with no real urge to hurry and get back to it.
I'm still looking forward to the next in the series and hope that the storyline goes back to being as good as it has been.
Believer in what you can't see
"Finally someone for Paris"
I loved the development of Senna and Paris's reliationship. It was nice how much Paris loves Senna. He was so thoughtful and kind to Senna. It was so sweet.
The most memorable moments is when Paris and Senna realize that they can be together forever.
Great narrator. Definitely made the story. I like that he can do both female and male voices that are believable. Bellmore is definitely one reason to listen to this story.
Yes, but there is so much going on with this story that it would be an injustice to try and cram the whole story into one sitting.
I've read most of the books in this series, but Bellmore makes the story come to life. He also makes it easy to hear the book over and over again.

"Not my favorite by Showalter"
It's in the mid range for me because I like the series but this book seemed built up from the previous titles only to let you down a little with a few confusing turns and twists that weren't really necessary. A very good plot only to not live up to its potential.
I like Showalter and would probably "read" another book by her an audio isn't worth my time and money.
Max had a range of voices and the tones/inflections were different than what I would have imagined myself.
Lord of Sex
must read: darynda jones, Karen moning, Ilona Andrews, kim harrison, gena showalter, Karen chance,patricia briggs,jeaniene frost ,L taylor,
"always a great escape with gena showalter"
this book was really everything i hoped it would be. this series is so much fun you really should try it. you need to try it from the beginning. each book focuses on one couple's romance but there is a back story and building of other characters if you were to just pick this one up and read it you'd be lost. the romance is steamy, there is wit and fast paced action. the story is good and although there are things from each book that repeat there is enough to make them unique and keep me thouroughly entertained! This one had some twists i totally didn't see coming and i loved it!
Mom, cupcake froster at local gourmet shop, and avid listener to books while doing said frosting or housework. True audiobook addict!
"5 Stars All Around!"
Being a fan of the Lord's of the Underworld, when I saw that Gena had released her latest installment, I could not get it in my cart and onto my iPod quick enough! I had plans for my credits (to help me finish out a different series) but those plans were quickly tossed aside - I could not wait to hear Paris' story!
If you have not been following LOTU then you need to start with the first book and work your way to this point - you will NOT be disappointed. Each book features a demon possessed Lord through their inner struggles with their demon, their trials, and how they might find someone to love...
We have been seeing tidbits of Paris' story through the last few books. I sat on the end of my seat wondering when we would get the full picture and hoping the next book would be about him. With that finally happening, I was not disappointed in the least!
The story is filled with ups and downs, steamy love scenes (how can there not be with Paris' demon being "Sex"!), and a peek into new characters' lives. Even though there are steamy scenes, this book does have great content. I hung on every word and every scene - even the ones not involving Paris' and his woman. And at the end of the book I was wishing that I had another to listen to straight away.
As for performance, Max Bellmore is amazing (as usual!). He is brings the characters to life, as any true voice actor should, which helps to paint the best picture in my mind's eye as to what is happening. I would probably listen to anything he read!
Huge thumbs up to Gena and Max!
Voracious reader
"Great addition to the series and new plot points"
Max reads beautifully and it enhances the storyline.
Anya is always funny and William is intriguing - tie.
It would spoil too much to say
Legion helping...
Good progression in the series and future points revealed
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
I couldn't wait for this next instalment and it saddens me to say that it had a very slow start, seemed to have too many sub-stories going on but it eventually got better and had an ending you'd never expect. Spoilt too by the narrator - I doubled the speed to get through it - so not one of her best I'm afraid.
But if you like the LOTU series then it's a must I'm afraid.
Something about yourself.
"Another great one from the LOTU Series."
It depends on the friend. There are some "earthy" scenes. (wink) The title overall was very well done and I have listened to Lords of the Underworld from the beginning. This was one of the better ones not that they aren't all good. I hate to say that the books on the Keeper of Pain and Keeper of Secrets were disturbing and not in a fun way. I would recommend it because it was a very satisfying chapter in the series.
I liked the way conflict was created. It sparked my imagination and was not too frustrating. The characters were strong and it felt believable. The story of Paris has been long awaited by me and it was not disappointing. One of my favorite books in this series was Gideon's story and this one was even better. The story had the continuation of some of the recurring plot lines and I wonder how she is going to get them out of those fixes. The reunion of the 'family' was very well done. I loved the ending!
He is the voice of the Lords. He has a signature style that complements the series and is very talented. He makes the tale believable and adds suspense, tension and humor.
It made me snicker when I see the teasing. I love a sense of fun when the subject can be dark and you need some comic relief.
If you are a fan of the Lords of the Underworld this is one you need if you are stranded on a deserted island.
"Slow beginning"
I've read all the series, really enjoying them. However, I almost put this one down and walked away. It seemed to drag on and on, with stupid dialogue, that I just couldn't get interested in.. I decided to keep listening, after all I used a credit, and by the second half of the book, it seemed to pick up and have a bit of plot to it. By, the end of the book, seems that the series has ended also, which might be a good thing, since this book just didn't make the grade. This book is a kick-off to her new series, so I don't know if I'll try it or not, after listening to this one. At any rate, if you want to go to the new series, you will want to listen to this book, or if you want to see what could have been the possible end to this series, you'll again have to listen to this book. It is better, once you get past the first half.

GM used 2 types of timing marks. One was at the 2 o'clock position.
The later they went to a 12 o'clock position. Since the balancers interchange, in some cases the builder will install a 12 o'clock timing cover
and a 2 o'clock balancer. When this happens you can't time it as the line won't match the timing tab. The easy fix in that case would be just to go buy a bolt on timing tab that bolts on at the 2 o'clock position.
Now if it were vice versa and a 2 o'clock cover was used and a 12 o'clock balancer then you would have to go online and find the formula on how to find the 2 o'clock position on the balancer. Or, you could just do as I would and purchase a proform balancer cover that has timing marks from zero to sixty degrees. It don't matter what balancer you have when you use the proform cover, because it bolts on to the balancer and has a mark on it so you can line it up with the keyway on the crank. When GM made the change in timing marks they left the keyway in the same place and simply cut the timing mark on a different location on the balancer. The Proform cover places it at the 2 o'clock position period. These covers come in sizes for 6 and 8 inch balancers and well as several different colors. When I do a build I get the color and size I want and use a bolt on 2 o'clock timing tab.

Drivers are being warned to expect delays as thousands of runners take to the streets for the Brooks Fleet Pre-London Half Marathon on Sunday.
Race organisers have once again secured a rolling closure with roads reopening as soon as possible after the runners have passed.
Among the roads affected will be Reading Road North from before 10am until about 11.30am, Fleet Road from before 10.30am to about 11.40am and parts of Crookham Road from before 10.30am to about 1.30pm.
Janet Leggett, of race organisers Fleet and Crookham Athletic Club, said: "We appreciate the patience and understanding of motorists. We always aim to minimise the disruption as much as possible."
Organisers are hoping the sun will shine on runners for the 33rd annual race.
Race director Penny Abbott said: "The weather has been against so many races this year but we hope that it treats us kindly. We have made lots of changes to [race finish] Calthorpe Park and invested in preventative measures to overcome the wet winter.
"A huge thank you has to go to central team who have been planning the event for the past six months, the 300 volunteers on the day and of course the residents of Fleet who support the runners.
"The whole day is a credit to everyone involved and the town of Fleet."
This year's race, which starts at 10.30am from Reading Road North, is being dedicated to local runner Mike Cloke, who passed away following a heart attack in December last year.
Mr Cloke supported the event, both as a participant and a marshal, and was a coach to under-18 athletes at Fleet & Crookham AC.
Spectators can look out for the TV Times Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research team of television and film celebrities in their distinctive yellow T-shirts.
The other associated charity is the Hartley Wintney-based Matthew Elvidge Trust, set up after Matthew took his own life after suffering a short bout of anxiety and depression. It has a record 199 runners registered for the race.
Matthew's father Hamish said: "The Fleet Half plays a vital role in funding our work and raising awareness of depression and we are proud to be the official local charity this year. Thank you to all the organisers and good luck to all our runners."
One newcomer to the event is Fleet resident and former Calthorpe Park pupil Jason Bull, 44, who is running at the same age as his father Peter did in 1986 when he finished the race in 2 hours 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
The IT worker is now desperate to beat his father's time to win a £100 wager.
Organisers have arranged for Jason to run in the same race number as his father so look out for number 3118 and give him a cheer.
Full race results and pictures will be printed in the News & Mail next week.

It is poised to begin trading as a FTSE 100 company on December 23, following a share surge that has seen its value increase to nearly £6 billion.
The stock was initially offered at 330p before climbing strongly - sparking accusations that it had been sold off on the cheap by Business Secretary Vince Cable.
It closed at 596.5p yesterday, meaning it looks certain to join the top-flight when the FTSE Group finalises its reshuffle, which will be confirmed today.
Chief executive Moya Greene will now become one of just four female FTSE 100 bosses, joining easyJet's Carolyn McCall and Imperial Tobacco's Alison Cooper.
A fourth, Angela Ahrendts of Burberry, is leaving next year but BT executive Liv Garfield will make up the number when she takes over at Severn Trent.
The FTSE Group earlier published the names of the firms whose positions at the close on Monday indicated that they looked likely to move
The confirmed reshuffle will be based on the market value of companies based on tonight's closing share prices.
Also moving into the FTSE 100 should be construction and industrial equipment rental firm Ashtead, with chemicals group Croda International and miner Vedanta Resources relegated from the shares premier league.
Tipped for the second-tier FTSE 250 were Madame Tussauds and Alton Towers owner Merlin Entertainments and estate agency Foxtons, following their own recent flotations.
Merlin's impressive stock market debut in September saw it offered at 315p and it has now reached 352p, 12% ahead.
London-focused Foxtons has banked a surge in value thanks to the boom in the capital's property market, up from £649 million at the start of trading in September to £830 million at the close today.

So long, BET Uncut
So Robert "Crossroads" Johnson started BET with $15,000 in 1980 (a good year before there was a such thing as an MTV) and sold it 20 years later for $6 gozillion. As Chris Farley would say, whoopty frickin' do. BET sucks balls and it always has.
You don't see the crackety-cracks that own MTV selling that shit, now do you? I bet $6 gozillion isn't even a lot of money for a cable network. I'm sure you could get twice as much for the Food Network. Don't front like you haven't jerked off to $40 a Day.
Indeed, with the recent announcement that BET will be canceling BET Uncut, that might actually be your best option if you're the kind of guy who likes to, um, stay up late.
As I mentioned in a post yesterday on my own site, I never actually watched BET Uncut myself. As much as I could appreciate the concept of rap music accompanied by images of mostly naked women and bizarrely wanton misogyny, the form never seemed to progress much beyond Nelly's infamous Tip Drill video from 2003.
Perhaps because record labels were loathe to sink too much money into such ridonkulousness, the vast majority of uncut videos were by rappers you wouldn't give the time of day if they weren't rapping alongside huge, cellulite-ridden asses. (Granted, the same could be said about the uncut version of 50 Cent's "Disco Inferno," a personal favorite.)
But for the most part, the budgets were miniscule, if entirely non-existant, and the videos were hardly watchable, even with the naked pussy. I always had a sneaking suspicion that most of the white girls in uncut videos were actually "latinos" with bad dye jobs. Don't even get me started on the black chicks.
Indeed if there's a positive spin to BET cancelling Uncut, it's that it may ether the nascent genre of strip club music in utero, not unlike Drew Barrymore's children. For all we know, if there was never a BET Uncut in the first place, maybe there never would've been a "Laffy Taffy," or a "Chicken Noodle Soup."
Instead of trying to convince BET to bring back Uncut, maybe we should try to talk MTV2 into creating its own version of the show. Who among us wouldn't enjoy an uncut version of the Hold Steady's "Banging Camp." If you have no idea what I'm talking about, raise your hand anyway. That shit would be awesome.

Bringing Out The Good Boy In Him
Even if you have a really big dog, I am sure you would do anything you could to keep him/her safe. You probably take your pet to the veterinarian any time you see any signs of trouble. These big dogs are a big part of your lives and need to be cared for in the best possible way. Some animals require special needs and it is crucial to know more about these big pets and how to care for them the best way possible.
One commonly known larger breed of dog is the St Bernard. The St Bernard can be anywhere from 25-30 inches tall and between 110-200 pounds. They are a patient and calm pet and they are very devoted to their owners especially kids. However they do need to be well-socialized with children and other smaller pets. It would take a dog as large as a St Bernard 24 months or so to become a full-grown dog. Foods enriched with Vitamin C and Vitamin E would help to keep his bones in good shape.
Great Danes are considered to be the tallest dog breed in the entire world. They range from 100-200 pounds and can get upwards to 34 inches tall. The Great Dane is a very friendly dog and gets along with most other dogs regardless of breed. They are not aggressive, and even though they are big, they make great pets.
If you like smaller dogs there a lot of options available for you to choose from. They also tend to be much smarter animals! The Bichon Frise is a good choice for people looking for a small pet. They are typically about 10-15 pounds and are very small-framed dogs. They are very happy and friendly dogs but can be difficult to house break because they are so stubborn. They require daily exercise so keep them active and outdoors as often as you can. The Bichon Frise tends to get attached to their owners so they may sleep with you at night and my whine and cry when you are not at home.
The Dachshund is a very small dog with a lot of love to give. It is an extremely popular dog breed with very short legs. This dog is also known to be a very intelligent dog. They are very loyal to their owners and want to follow them wherever they go. The smaller they are, the more playful they are. So make sure you keep them active. Even though the Dachshund is one of the most intelligent dog breeds in the country, they are not the only one!
There are many different types of dogs to choose from. Smart dogs, big dogs, tiny dogs, dogs who are smart, and dogs who are a combination of those. No matter what kind of dog you are looking for there is definitely one out there for you.

Super basics
If you want enough money for a comfortable retirement, spend
some time learning about superannuation. Taking a few steps now to
boost your super will make a huge difference to your lifestyle in
the future.
The more you save the sooner you can stop working.
Superannuation is a way to save for your retirement. The money
comes from contributions made into your super fund by your employer
and, ideally, topped up by your own money. Sometimes the government
will add to it through co-contributions and the low income super
Your employer must pay 9.5% of your salary into a super fund.
This is called the Super Guarantee and it's the law. The Super
Guarantee will gradually increase to 12% in coming years.
Over the course of your working life, these contributions from
your employer add up, or 'accumulate'. Your super money is also
invested by your super fund so it grows over time. When you retire,
you will have money to live off - a nest egg. Super is a lifetime
investment that has many benefits.

For most people, super will be taxed at a lower rate than a
similar investment outside super.
If you put your own after-tax money into super, you could
receive a government co-contribution,
depending on how much money you earn. See contributing extra to
If you earn up to $37,000 you may also get a 'low income super
contribution' of up to $500 from the government. You will get this
payment whether or not you add extra money to your super. See low income super
You may be able to get death, disability or income protection insurance through your
super account at a cheaper price than if you bought it outside of

100 People and their Super video
Get all the facts and figures on super from the Australian
Taxation Office's 100 people and their super video.
Most people can choose which super fund they'd like their super
contributions paid into. If you want to choose your super fund,
tell your employer by filling in a
Standard choice form from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
or from your employer.
In some cases your employer will decide which fund your super is
paid into. If you don't (or can't) choose your super fund, your
employer will put the money into a 'default' super fund, a
fund nominated under an industrial award or by your

For most people, your employer must pay an amount equal to 9.5%
of your salary into your super fund account.
It's important that you get paid what's rightfully yours. The
9.5% employer contributions are based on your 'ordinary
time earnings'. For example, if your ordinary time earnings are
$50,000 then you should be paid an additional $4,750 into
Ordinary time earnings are what employees earn for their
ordinary hours of work including over-award payments, bonuses,
commissions, allowances and certain paid leave. See the ATO's

Money in your super fund account is invested by your super fund.
Most super funds offer a variety of investment options.
For example, if you choose a market-linked investment, the value of
your super will move up and down with market movements. Or you
might select a stable option with lower expected returns but fewer
ups and downs.
You can choose how you'd like your money invested, if you want
to. You can also transfer your money to a different investment
option within the fund, or transfer to another super fund at any

or have already retired. Learn the basics and you can become your
own super hero.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
There will likely be a moment, perhaps as you pass through a mangrove forest into bright sunshine, when canoeing in the Upper Keys will qualify as pure, unadulterated bliss. It might happen when you've bailed out and are happily snorkeling among the coral, or while you're listening to a naturalist describe the flora and fauna of Lignumvitae Key. To access the beauty of this fragile environment, simply drive to Key Largo and put in at the end of Garden Cove Road adjacent to the North Key Largo Hammock State Botanical Site for an easily manageable day trip. You are now situated between Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge to the north and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to the south. The latter also offers a good launch spot, with the added bonus of showers and facilities. (If you head south from Garden Cove, beware bigger craft passing through the channel.) Follow the Atlantic's tidal flats as they give way to clear-water creeks full of snapper and snook. For individuals nervous about going solo or lacking equipment, Florida Bay Outfitters (305-451-3018) rents gear and leads half- and full-day trips in the area and further south.
In a town in which park often is synonymous with ball field, and in which much of the public green space is rendered inhospitable by a lack of shade, Morningside Park is a revelation. Indeed it may be one of Miami-Dade's few "big-city parks," the kind envisioned by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted when he created New York's Central Park as an escape from the noise and nervousness of urban life. Located in the historic residential neighborhood of the same name, Morningside Park runs for five blocks along Biscayne Bay and features not only tennis and basketball courts, a playground, a baseball field, and a municipal pool, but also picnic benches, walking trails, and (of all things) trees. Lots of trees. It's a perfect place for curling up with a good book under a banyan, teaching the kids how to ride their bikes, or just staring out over the water.
This isn't so much a park as it is a small oasis. Located on a canal and squeezed between two residential lots on a quiet, secluded street, this little patch of green can't really accommodate more than a dozen or so people at a time. Luckily it's usually empty (who else but the neighbors would even suspect it's there?). The perfect place for an intimate outing, the park features a couple of picnic tables, a grill, some benches, a sandbox and a tot lot for the kids. Pets are not allowed, but if you're an animal lover, keep an eye out for the ducks that make their home in and around the canal.
Many jiu-jitsu schools claim some connection to the Gracie family, a legendary clan of Brazilian fighters whose unique martial arts style continues to reign supreme in famous no-holds-barred confrontations, such as the Ultimate Fighting Competition (UFC). But South Florida has only one school with official accreditation from Helio Gracie himself, founder of the sport and father of an entire family of world-class fighters. Brazilian jiu-jitsu's mix of judo with simple and effective ground-grappling techniques proves incredibly effective against larger and stronger opponents. Small, soft-spoken instructor Pedro Valente, who was a student of Helio Gracie, makes this point painfully clear. At first glance he is unlikely to inspire fear in an opponent, yet his submission hold can bring down just about any once-aggressive rival. Valente's method for strategic conquest, while certainly not easy, is a lot less strenuous than, say, pumping major iron. And for what? Beefcakes, beware: Think twice before picking on some little guy. He just may have been trained at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Ouch!
Don't worry that gyrating in those curve-hugging microbriefs you indulgently purchased during the holidays will make you look like a floozy. At the Winter Party (which is held in March) you can writhe on the beach with a throng of thong-clad dudes until the sun goes down and support equal rights at the same time. Since its 1993 inception, this circuit party, which attracts about 3000 revelers from around the world during tourist season, has helped support the Dade Human Rights Foundation, sponsors of SAVE Dade and half a dozen other groups and programs that fight gay, lesbian, and transgender discrimination throughout the county. So go ahead, shake your booty and shake small-minded bigots out of the trees.
Tugboats and freighters cruise by on the Miami River as you butterfly and breaststroke in the City of Miami's José Martí pool. Overhead the dramatic arch of the I-95 overpass, humming with the fierce pace of city life, reminds you just how far from the rat race you really are. Just minutes from downtown and Brickell Avenue, this pool offers a great lunch-hour escape. Pool hours are 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, with an adult lap swim until 3:00 p.m. Call for weekend hours. Admission to the pool is free, and the locker rooms are clean. Swimming lessons also are offered here. When you're done bathing, the adjacent park provides a respite for you to meditate as you dry off and watch the world go by. Now you're ready to dive back into real life.

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs)
Every car and light truck model year 1981 or later has a unique 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN). A VIN has many important uses, including unlocking important information about a vehicle's history.
VINs also have many other important uses. For example, service shops use VINs to identify the engine, transmission and brake systems installed by manufacturers so that they can properly service vehicles. Law enforcement agencies use VINs to identify and recover stolen cars and car parts. Auto manufacturers use VINs when they resolve safety recalls.
Locating the VIN
Vehicle History Information From VINs
Characters within a VIN indicate a vehicle's year, make, model, where it was manufactured, and more. VIN decoding is the process of deciphering these details.
The VIN is also used to access the CARFAX Vehicle History Report. Every CARFAX Report contains important information that can impact your decision about a used vehicle. Some types of information included in CARFAX Reports include:
Using VINs in the Car Buying Process
There are many things a seller may not disclose to you, such as a salvage title, flood damage or an odometer rollback. Any of these and other issues can affect the safety, performance and even value of a used car.
To make it more difficult for you to learn a vehicle's history, crooked sellers may list the wrong VIN in an online vehicle posting or may not be willing to provide the VIN at all. Scam artists may also alter the vehicle's title documents to hide potential problems.
Use these tips to protect yourself from fraud as you shop for a used car:
After you buy a car, you will need the VIN to insure the car and to register it at your local Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Tip: When registering the car, make sure to report the correct VIN and an accurate odometer reading. This information is recorded by the DMV and may appear on the CARFAX Report for your vehicle.

sunday afternoon date.
3 things I love: being with my husband...eating...and dining outdoors!
Over the weekend the Husband took me out for a Sunday afternoon date on Las Olas Blvd in downtown Fort Lauderdale (one of my favorite places to hang out). I really enjoy outdoor dining, especially when being able to watch multi-million boats go by on the water. Between the Filet Mignon, french fries, mac & cheese, my virgin strawberry daiquiri's and picking from the Husbands plate - I was in Heaven! What cleanse? The weather was perfect, although we did have a few random gusts of wind...but I wasn't wearing my wig so it was totally fine! During dinner, I also made friends with the cutest baby ever that was sitting with her parents at a table next to ours. The cutest little thing ever...which of course only added to my baby fever. After I stuffed my face and my new friend left, Hubby took me to get ice cream (red velvet ice-cream...mmmmm) before I wobbled back to the car.
I have to say, I am really enjoying living South Florida. I don't miss New York the way I thought I would - just my family and friends of course. I'm really looking forward to purchasing a home here in the next year or two (God-willing) and really plant some roots here.

Being 5 days away from deer season opening in this part of MN, everybody has a "look" somewhat like that....

On Saturday, my wife and I had stopped at a small restaurant on I-20 about halfway between Abilene and Dallas.
As we enjoyed a very good lunch, a group entered the establishment and walked past us to a table beside us. As they passed by, I couldn't help but notice the concealed carry 'look' most of them had. All were wearing a cover garmet, a couple had on tan photographer style vests, one had on tactical style tan pants and a 511 instructor style belt. Most were wearing ball caps, a few with gun endorsements. Several had noticible bulges on their waist.
As they went to sit down, I noticed the bottom of OWB holsters as two of them sat down and the chair back caused their cover garmet to ride up a little. One guy with a pullover windshirt on was 'feeling' for his gun and noticed his holster was exposed that way and quickly pulled his shirt down as he glanced around to see if anyone had noticed. Another made a clearly audible clunk as a handgun clearly hit wood on the chair as he sat down.
A couple were wearing ball caps with gun brand endorsements. One had a chrome AR-15 pin on his hat.
When we returned home to Abilene, I checked online and sure enough, there had been a big gun show at Ft. Worth that day. Guess this group was either on their way to or from the show.
To a knowing eye, their 'concealment' tactics that day were clearly lacking. To civilians who do not carry, who knows? I found myself thinking that with the 'look' they were all sporting, they might as well have been wearing signs indicating they were armed.
Me.... well my old Harley zip up Hoodie hides my OWB 1911 quite well and the only 'look' I give to the public is inviting someone who might want to strike up a conversation about Harleys.......
Anyone else notice this 'look' or 'unofficial uniform' of so many who carry concealed ?

Ha! I've come to refer to it as the CCW uniform. I've found myself spotting several guys like that. Or wearing fanny packs at places where one doesn't usually wear a fanny pack...Anyone else notice this 'look' or 'unofficial uniform' of so many who carry concealed ?
at any rate, I've never noticed any sheeple becoming aware. but if they did, would we really call them sheeple?

There are also some who carry that want everyone to know about it and and are real obvious about itAnyone else notice this 'look' or 'unofficial uniform' of so many who carry concealed ?
Did they have the CCW swagger or saunter type walk
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
well you could look at it 2 ways...if ppl realize you're carrying,they would avoid robbing you....or blending in is better,so you shouldn't wear "gunny" stuff.I go back and forth..I guess I am somewhere in the middle..I wear vests(but not the 5.11 type)I don't wear gun hats or shirts....I don't judge those who wear gun stuff or fanny packs though.
"Just because I'm paranoid,doesn't mean they're NOT after me...."
Sounds to me like a very safe place to have lunch.

As long as it wasn't showing, I don't mind their attire. If I was a criminal, I'd probably stay away.
On this same topic, I stumbled across this the other day: GUN T-SHIRTS - WearAGun.com. Your fellow restaurant patrons might as well have been wearing one of these...
Seriously though... it gives CC'ers a bad rep... makes us seem like a bunch of mall ninjas.
It is interesting how I've started noticing things and how some people telegraph more than they should. I saw a guy with a short sleeve Glock t-shirt, jeans, and an ankle bulge. I'm thinking wow... incognito! It's only 90 degrees with 85% humidity and you're wearing jeans and a gun t-shirt.
Then yesterday at work a dude with a fanny pack was walking around the store... except when he went to get his phone it was in his front pocket and his wallet was in his back pocket. I don't think he was carrying his insulin around in there...

You are of a select few who will actually notice anything about other people around you.
I guess I would call that being aware of your surroundings. I see people all the time at lunch sitting on the outside of a booth and notice their holster printing or the bottom hanging out. I myself "conceal" where there is no doubt in my mind I am in complete cover up. Most of my close friends I am around on a daily basis legal carry as well. Every once in a while we will point out to each other if one is printing or not.
I usually look at women at the mall. I can check them out while never moving my head, just my eyes.

Striking up conversation with random people is something I love to do especially when I am running errands. It makes a boring trip to the store much more pleasurable. Sometimes I throw in a bit of humor to add levity to an otherwise mundane situation. I think it surprises some folks so much, that it renders them dumbfounded. While staring at the shopper/salesperson/bagger with a silly smile on my face, I wait for a reaction.
I have come up with an excuse for their blank dull stare after my feeble attempts to make someone smile. I just assume that they don't speak English. If they respond by sighing while giving me an eye roll, that's when I want to channel Foghorn Leghorn. He'd say, "That's a joke son. Now look at me when I'm talkin' to yah."

Sarcasm is a sort of humor that is a form of teasing. It is often followed by the words, "Just kidding!" In Wisconsin, my friends and I were raised on a steady diet of this type of comedy along with cheese curds and corn on the cob.
When I moved from Wisconsin to Colorado, I got a lot of blank dull stares after throwing a few one-liners at my new friends. It makes me think that humor is regional. Maybe back when the West was wild, a couple of outlaws sat around a campfire on pins and needles after a long day of shoot-outs. Then someone said, "Hey look! It's Billy the Kid!…. Just (air quotes) 'Kid'ing!' Get it? Hahaha!" The gunman who was the butt of his joke, swung back around and shot the silly cowboy, putting an end to a long genetic line of humorous goofballs. Soon all the jokesters were weeded out, leaving only the serious types to settle down and procreate. The Wild West was no place for funny stuff.
Whereas back in Wisconsin, the early settlers focused on their barley crops and soon beer flowed in the taverns which could be found on every corner. Instead of fighting, they polkaed and mastered the art of joke-telling.
These famous people would have easily fit in if they had lived in Wisconsin. I found a few of their gems on SarcasticQuotes.com.
Groucho Marx:
"If you find it hard to laugh at yourself, I would be happy to do it for you."
"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."
Mark Twain:
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it."
Oscar Wilde:
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."
100,ooo sperm and you were the fastest?
Ashleigh Black:
"Sometimes I need what only you can provide: your absence."
Stephen Bishop:
"I feel so miserable without you, it's almost like having you here."
Billy Wilder:
"He has Van Gogh's ear for music."
Abraham Lincoln:
"He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know."
Kin Hubbard:
"A good listener is usually thinking about something else."
Here are some of my own lame attempts at sarcasm. Have you ever noticed that when it is really quiet, you can hear the sound of crickets?
Recently on a trip to the grocery store I made small talk with the bagger and said, "I can't believe I left my bags in the car again. I should just put them on my dashboard or start wearing them as a hat."…Sound of crickets…
While my husband Danny and I hiked down from the Royal Arch rock formation in Boulder, we ran into some hikers on the way up the strenuous trail. I said, "You better hurry or all the beer will be gone."…Sound of crickets…
I hit the back wall in tennis and asked my opponent, "Was that out?" …Sound of crickets…
Last Christmas I posted an update on Facebook. "I just finished my Christmas shopping. I snatched my last gift out of an old lady's hand." …Sound of crickets… After a couple of hours I added, "Just kidding!"
I had to get a vaginal ultrasound since my doctor thought I had an ovarian cyst. She put a condom on the device and I said, "Gosh, I'm so glad it has protection. I would hate to get pregnant." …Sound of crickets…
Granted some of these are really dumb, but considering the circumstances, I at least expected a smile and not a, "What???" (Eyes look skyward, then head tilts with index fingertip placed firmly on chin while mouth gapes open wide.)
Foghorn Leghorn gives some great tips on humor in this short clip:
In absence of laughter:
Do you think humor is regional?
Are you a good audience or an eye roller?

Today's post I am not going to be like a robot and make everything sound perfect, I am just going to write how I feel and go from there, hope you are not offended by the word shit
So listen up! I want to talk to you about growing your business, actually exploding it all within 90 days without even talking to your warm market. Let's make it a 90 day challenge. And no, just because a big network marketing company has that as it's slogan does not mean we are going to copy them. 90 Day challenges were out way before them, but enough of the rambling, let's just get into it.
First off, let me tell you that I have been at the point where I was literally chasing down my warm market. I would call them up and get them on a 3 way call without them knowing it, or messaging them asking when they were ready to buy or join my business or whatever. Put it this way, I was probably a huge pain in the ass to my friends and they probably dreaded it when they saw my name in their inbox. If this sounds like something you have done or want to stop doing, then pay attention and let's get down to it so you can get to work, make sales and sign up people in your business without hassling your warm market. Sound good? Great.
Run Out Of Warm Market People To Talk To?
I don't know about you, but I was told to hit up my warm market and get them all to parties or on 3 way calls. I mean the top guy in the company did that right and became a millionaire in 3 months or some crazy shit like that, but let's be honest, not all of your friends or family are going to join or buy from you and make you rich – that my friends is in a perfect world.
So I want to share with you what you can do to start getting a new warm market, where people will actually find you and want to know more, where people will find you and want to get to know you, where people will find you and want to buy whatever you are selling. Doesn't that sound SWEET? And I am telling you, it is. And it is freaking possible as long as you are consistent and don't give up like a lot of wussies do out there.
1) Get a Facebook profile if you don't have one. People love to connect with real people online.
2) Get a place where you write, provide value and give helpful tips to people. When I say place, what I actually mean is a blog. A blog is a great place to constantly add content and people love coming back to get more of what you got. Don't have time to set one up or have the knowledge to? No worries, you can get one here and start to build up a new warm market.
3) Have a capture page where you can get peoples information. Don't have one? You know that link I gave in #2? That has a capture page built in! Now you don't have to worry about creating one.
4) Write everyday on your blog, get people coming back craving for more of what you got, be like a dope dealer, but instead of a dope dealer, it's a hope dealer. Ok corny joke but at least I am laughing, ha ha ha.
5) After your blog post, put in the PS section of your post a link to your capture page of what you are offering. That's it, simple right?
Your New Warm Market – Leads From The Net
So I challenge you, take the next 90 days, and write content and give value and you will see leads start to pour in, when leads come in, build a relationship with those people and now you have new people to talk to. Trust me, when people love your stuff, they will want to buy from you because you have built a friendship with them.
I look forward to hearing about your new way on getting leads and building your business.

I don't think talking to BMW Germany will help.. but you could talk to the head office in your country about it. Good luck.
The dealer said that my model is not avialable anymore...
However. Its not a matter of the money its a matter of principle ..theybsais they will replace it with no mention about the possnlity of a price increase, and I am not supposed to be subject to this increase...
Anyway. I emailed BMW AG and I talked to the dealer yesterday roughly..and they still dis not give me a reply...
I just need to know what will they do..

Fiber Optic Equipment Rebounds! Says iSuppli
Optical networking is back!
That's the conclusion of research by iSuppli, which today said that revenue from shipments of optical networking equipment is epected to rise 7.7% this year, to $13.5 billion, after declining the last two years from brief spikes in 2006 and 2007. The chart below shows the progress in billions of dollars since 2000, and the annual projections out to 2014.
By 2014, optical telecom gear will hit $22.1 billion, the highest since 2000's peak of $24.95 billion.
Factors propelling this rise include a "new Internet boom," driven by video, peer-to-peer traffic, an Internet boom in China, and fiber-to-the-home builds, remarks Lee Ratliff, iSuppli's senior analyst for broadband and digital home markets.

Name of tough yard weed in FL and how to kill
I would like to know the name of a tough weed, so I can find out how to kill. This weed has a long stringing white root with a egg shape at the end. It's normally very deep in the soil. It multi-ply like dollar weed. It sometimes have a nasty smell to them. Please help they are taking over my yard. This weed primarily started by our dogwood tree and and azaleas near our front septic tank for the kitchen and laundry.
If anyone could please help. I've tried spending hours pulling and digging up the roots then spraying round-up and other products. It temporarily kills them, but then they come back even worse. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If it is, in fact, nutsedge, tenacity is the best bet. There is a product called Image that is advertised for nutsedge, but it is expensive because it if formulated not to hurt the lawn. It also warns against using near the root zone of desirable plants. Continued use of Roundup is as good as anything. You get some good without much danger to nearby good plants. I read one study that suggested nutsedge knows when you spray it, and it releases the "nuts" before they absorb the herbicide.:mad: But, if you keep at it and keep them sprayed before they mature enough to develope nuts, in about two years you will be ahead.
Or, this is not nutsedge.
I'm a bit of a nutsedge researcher (I have it in my lawn). Here's some links to explore. I haven't done much in eradication except Roundup.
Pull some up and take it to your local ag office or university. The guys in the ag dept around here are great. Try 'cooperative extension' along with your county in a google search.

Every single eclipe next year hits something important in my chart.
April 15 nn lunar eclipse hits my Pluto and opposes Venus 1 degree from exact opposite Venus and conjuncts the live of my lifes Venus exact.... What it could mean? I have no clue because Uranus/Pluto hitting my mars is making everything all wonky and unpredictable. I am like hanging in the freakin breeze, dunno which way I'm going at all. All I can do is live in the moment.
April 29 solar eclipse is conjunct my mc exact.
Oct 8 lunar eclipse is 2 degrees from my mars that's being hit by Uranus/Pluto all year this year. All I have to say is : scary.
Oct 23 nn eclipse is two degrees from my Saturn in Scorpio... Actually it sits right at the mid point between my Pluto in Libra/Saturn in Scorpio and opposes Venus.
I'm taking it next year I'm in for a lot of self realizations. Im not sure yet what this all means, but it sure is intense.

October 2014 hits my 5th house.
March 2015 my midheaven.
Sept 2015 3rd house Virgo.

Learn to create color from within with Curt Benzle's DVD Expanding Your Creative Palette with Colored Clay, which is available in the Ceramic Arts Daily Bookstore.
|Wax resist is again applied to the dry surface. Using a needle tool, lines are etched through the wax, revealing the clay below. After wiping clean with a damp sponge, black underglaze is applied to the inlaid line. After bisque firing to cone 07, wax resist is applied to black inlay lines so that glaze will not cover the line and affect the color. Glazes are applied by pouring, dipping and/or brushing. The resulting piece is then fired in a gas kiln to cone 10 in reduction.
Feldspar inclusions result in pearl-like eruptions covering the surface of the vessel. This surface is painted with various luster overglazes and fired in an electric kiln to cone 017 multiple times per layer of surface treatment.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|if yopu want an ill park board the nitro team wide is awesome, I got mine last year and it's perfectly balanced for park riding. Personally I think the atomic boards feel a little cheap, but it's also probably because the only one I ever rode was the rental I got when I broke my other board, so it had some miles on it. BTW I have never heard anything bad about never summer boards, I've never tried one tho
|rome machine board is suppose to be nice. i was going to pick it up last year but i decided to wait for a more buttery board so with that said, Kink Wide, step child chamberlin's board is Wide 156. Forum young-blood is wide this year too. So many options this year!! i just picked up a DH cuz i ride a narrower board ^^. but im going to wait till one of those boards that i listed go on sale.
I'm not your size but I have an Alibi and don't it is the best park board but a great all around board for sure. I think Ride makes the Kink in a Wide if you want a butter board.
Based on not wanting to hit rails the Kink probably won't suite you to well. Hit up Colorado Ski and Golf when you get here. They don't sell Never Summer but you should be able to get a smokin deal on last years model of Alibi or Darkstar.
I definitely like my Alibi for a great all around board. I've road everything with it and it does great. Hit up Wolf Creek back bowls with it last year after 56 inches of fresh in 3 days and I wasn't sure how it would do at first but it did great.
|If you want a DH, get the DH2. It comes in a wide 156 and 159. I just got my 156W, its really sick.
|Actually for a park board, your not too far off on size. I'd look at getting the wide Darkstar 157, Capita Mid Life Lost 158.
Wide Park Board
I'm looking for a new snowboard and bindings, and I wanted some advice on a wide board that would be used mostly in the park; jumps and pipe, not really interested in rails as much. I'm 6'5", 180 lbs., and 12-13 boot size (Can't remember the exact size, I'm driving out to Colorado right now, and my family is gonna ship my equipment, so I'll know the exact size of my Northwave boots soon).
Here's the list I have so far,
07/08 or 08/09 Atomic Alibi Wide (Is there any design differences between the two years?) I'm seeing last years model for $279 and this years model for $499.
Never Summer Legacy-R
K2 Darkstar Wide
Any other suggestions or opinions on the list I have so far? Any chance I could get away with a regular board, cause I'd probably get a Ride DH or a Never Summer SL-R if so.
Also, I've been riding on an old Santa Cruz 156 for the last 8 yrs or so, I'm used to it but I'm sure its too short for my height, any thoughts on a correct length and maybe a quick explanation on what more length would give me and what I've been missing out on!
Thanks for any help, I've been all over the east coast but never made it out west, and now I'm moving to Durango, Co so I'm stoked!

Chevy has announced the introduction of the 2013 Chevy Sonic Dusk, which is going to debut at the 2012 SEMA show. According to Chevy, the Sonic Dusk has been "designed to bring a higher degree of sophistication and refinement to the subcompact segment."
"Just like we've done with Corvettes and Camaros, we're taking another one of our core products and adapting it to our customers' lifestyles," said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. "The reaction to the Sonic Dusk concept last year was overwhelmingly positive and proved customers are interested in a more-refined subcompact. We're moving quickly to bring Sonic Dusk to Chevrolet showrooms."
The 2013 Chevy Sonic Dusk package adds ground effects, a rear spoiler and 18-inch aluminum wheels with a Pearl Nickel finish. It's painted in Ashen Grey and the upper and lower grilles, door handle inserts and rear license plate trim are finished with a matte appearance with stainless steel lower window moldings.
Inside, Sonic Dusk features Jet Black leather seats with suede accents and Mojave tan inserts. The Sonic Dusk is powered by the 1.4L turbocharged engine that generates 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft. of torque.
"With a year under our belt, we've learned our Sonic sedan buyers are looking at exterior styling as a key purchase driver," said Cristi Landy, marketing director of Chevrolet small cars. "While the RS hatchback is our sporty interpretation of Sonic, Dusk is a sophisticated, well contented option - both unique to this segment. It's all about choices and personalization."

Looking for techniques for an alternative to landscape lighting connectors
I am replacing some old wiring from the previous owners landscape lights.
Does anyone have any suggestions for DIY connectors for the lights and cable splitters?
The ones I have tried aren't really that great and the price is too high for what I got.
Shrink tubing, wire nuts, et al?
Just trying to keep from spending if I don't have too.
Well....it's low voltage so you can pretty much use what you want.
Do you have any splices that will be in the ground? As in....wire was too short so you had to extend it?
It at all possible, avoid splices.....the wire is pretty cheap.....if possible run a new wire from inside the light to the transformer....at the transformer....wire nuts are fine because the transformer should be in a dry protected area.
If you 'have' to put in a splice in the ground....I would solder and use heat shrink to seal it.....actually...heat shrink over the individual wires and then a larger one over the whole splice.
No splices at at all so far.
I had been thinking since I posted; shrink tubing over soldered, then taped, might be better than involving a nut in some way.
Soldering makes the best connections. But you can use wire nuts as an alternative, in place of connectors that came with the kit and that you feel are too flimsy.
Do it yourself splices must not be buried. You need a box to enclose the splices, a waterproof box if undeground. The cover has to be accessible.
12 Attachment(s)
This is the only way to splice low voltage wires that will pass the test of time in my opinion.
That's a hex nut to tighten played together?
Is that something you made?
Never mind, I see the link now. Tubing over that?
12 Attachment(s)
ACE splice
where can i get these connectors? the link wasn't on my page
12 Attachment(s)
Does that ACE connector work on splices? I just realized I'll need to in order to branch of down two ends of a flower bed.
12 Attachment(s)
Ok. I was reading the page while walkin through an airport.
Made for splices. Made to be buried.
Got it.
Have you used the ACE connectors that work with multiple wires?
I need to connect fixtures to the line in addition to a few splices.
Just wondering how the shrink tubing would work with a light's wire bending off to the side.

Relationship over time between psychological distress and physical activity in colorectal cancer survivors
Chambers, Suzanne K., Lynch, Brigid M., Aitken, Joanne, & Baade, Peter D. (2009) Relationship over time between psychological distress and physical activity in colorectal cancer survivors. Journal of Clinical Oncology, 27(10), pp. 1600-1606.

Purpose Increased physical activity in colorectal cancer patients is related to improved recurrence free and overall survival. Psychological distress after cancer may place patients at risk of reduced physical activity; but paradoxically also act as a motivator for positive lifestyle change. The relationship between psychological distress and physical activity after cancer over time has not been described. Methods A prospective survey of 1966 (57% response) colorectal cancer survivors assessed the psychological distress variables of anxiety, depression, somatisation, cancer threat appraisal as predictors of physical activity five, 12, 24 and 36 months post-diagnosis 978 respondents had valid data for all time points. Results Higher somatisation was associated with greater physical inactivity (Relative risk ratio (RRR) =1.12; 95% CI=[1.1, 1.2]) and insufficient physical activity (RRR=1.05; [0.90, 1.0]). Respondents with a more positive appraisal of their cancer were significantly (p=0.031) less likely to be inactive (RRR=0.95; [0.90, 1.0]) or insufficiently active (RRR=0.96). Fatigued and obese respondents and current smokers were more inactive. Respondents whose somatisation increased between two time periods were less likely to increase their physical activity over the same period (p<0.001). Respondents with higher anxiety at one time period were less likely to have increased their activity at the next assessment (p=0.004). There was no association between depression and physical activity. Conclusions Cancer survivors who experience somatisation and anxiety are at greater risk of physical inactivity. The lack of a clear relationship between higher psychological distress and increasing physical activity argues against distress as a motivator to exercise in these patients.

Glenn Beck's New McCarthyism?
Blog ››› ››› JOHN V. SANTORE
Glenn Beck has revived one of the most shameful chapters in American political history. Sen. Joseph McCarthy spent years ruining the lives of patriotic Americans serving in the United States government and beyond. He did it through fearmongering and baseless, unproven accusations. He combed the past statements and associations of loyal U.S. citizens and then shamefully accused them of being traitors bent on the destruction of the American way of life.
At a time when conservatives are unable to find new leadership or present new ideas to address the challenges facing our nation, it is perhaps fitting that their media leaders and spokespeople -- individuals like Glenn Beck -- have fallen back on a 60-year-old slander: communist. Beck's forum consists of his radio program, his nightly show on Fox News, and his books. The witnesses he calls at his hearings form the endless parade of political demagogues he hosts as guests. And one by one, he is targeting the president's advisers -- not based on their current actions or statements, not because of any actual policy initiatives they have proposed since President Obama took office, but rather through the use of guilt-by-association reasoning or because of cherry-picked comments from their past, often provided in a highly misleading context. It's just the kind of vitriolic irresponsibility that McCarthy specialized in, too.
Beck's fixation on a sinister communist threat undermining America's capitalist democracy would be entirely laughable were it not revealing of something more fundamental. Beck and the Right have consistently portrayed Obama as a Manchurian candidate bearing Trojan Horse policies. Thus, the president isn't a uniter but a secret divider. He doesn't love the America we have, hoping to improve it. Rather, he seeks to destroy it. He doesn't represent a triumph on America's path toward genuine racial equality. Rather, he seeks little more than obtaining reparations and the radical redistribution of wealth and power on a racial basis. Such a philosophy plays to the most distrustful -- and often, dangerous -- elements of our society.
Beck will not stop with Van Jones. Yesterday he dedicated much of his show to Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory czar, whom he portrayed as a crazed animal rights activist who believes that rats matter more than people. As was the case with McCarthy, his distortions will continue unabated until the public recognizes his campaign for what it is: a witch hunt. As journalist Edward R. Murrow said of McCarthy in 1954, "We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men."
Such words could, and should, be spoken, too, of Beck.

Finally, a Bit of Good News for Christie
After more than a month of relentless news stories about abuse-of-power scandals plaguing the Christie administration, the governor got three bits of good news on Tuesday.
1) The New Jersey State Police is backing up Christie: he did not fly over Fort Lee during the week of the mysterious George Washington Bridge lane closures. The state police statement comes after its aviation unit received a subpoena Monday from a legislative committee investigating allegations that Christie surveyed the traffic jams from his state police helicopter. Christie took three flights that week in September, the state police said, but none went close to either the bridge or Fort Lee.
2) State election regulators ruled that Christie's 2013 re-election campaign can use $126,000 left over in campaign funds to pay its legal bills. And it can even raise more money to pay for expenses related to subpoenas from both legislators and federal investigators. (But if the campaign becomes a target of possible criminal charges, the Election Law Enforcement Commission warned, it cannot use the money.)
3) The Republican Governors Association, which Christie chairs, said it raised $6 million in January — a January record for the group. That may quiet, at least for now, murmurs that Christie shouldn't remain in charge while the investigations go on.

Need help with accent wall and blinds color
Hi all,
My husband and I moved into our new home 6 months ago and had the whole house painted. Since we've been decorating the living room, we have decided that we really do not like the color we selected for the fireplace wall. My husband describes it as diarrhea brown. We would like our accents for this room to be a warm red and dark chocolate brown. This room is open to our kitchen which has cherry cabinets, dark granite and a neutral ceramic tile.
We are thinking of painting the accent wall the same as the rest of the walls (latte by Sherwin Williams), but I like the thought of an accent wall so maybe another dark brown? We looked at the color one shade darker than latte and it's hopsack by Sherwin Williams, which scarily looks like the same "poop" brown. We just bought the chocolate brown window scarves which ties together the sectional, the dark granite in our kitchen, the clock over the fireplace mantle and the dark wood in our nook table. We are also thinking of white 2 inch blinds. Any suggestions or thoughts for this wall and the blind color?
Thank you!
I have a few comments starting with I don't think that accent wall does anything for the room. You have the accent in the tile in the fireplace. I would paint the wall the same color as the others. Not every room needs an accent wall in spite of what terrible design shows like "Design on a Dime" (and it will look it) suggest.
The other thing that caught my eye immediately is that the overall wall color and even the current accent color look quite nice in natural light but turn that Montezuma's Revenge/Baby Diaper Brown under the artificial light you have. Look at the left half and then the right half of the accent wall for example. They almost look like different hues and the only difference is the light. I think switching out your lightbulbs to some with a higher color temperature and a good/full spectrum color rendering index would make you like it all better. It is a relatively inexpensive solution as well.
Bulbs with Kelvin (K) temps above 5,000 are considered to be daylight bulbs and you want to aim for a color rendering index of 90 or above. Reveal (GE I think but do not quote me on that) is one brand of full spectrum daylight incandescent bulbs and their are different brands of compact flourescents, floods, etc. The full spectrum ones with high CRIs are more expensive but actually seem to be made better so last longer. LEDs are of course getting brighter and better and some now have CRIs approaching 100.
As reference point. In discussing and viewing color professionally we all set our monitors to 6500K. In viewing things like photographs, printing press proof checks, etc. we have bulbs with 100 CRI as well.
Box stores still have very limited selections of bulbs but your local lighting store or electrical supply store can set you up nicely. Don't be shy about asking for a discount if you buy, or promise to buy, many bulbs. They know they have to compete.
As for blind color? I think with the white window trim you should stick with simple white mini or honeycomb blinds. Drape panels like you have to introduce the darker brown.
You can add warm red accents with cushions, throws, artwork or even a custom throw rug. A little red can go a long way.
We bought a new house that had the Sherwin Williams color Kilim Beige on all the walls. It's on the same color sample card as Latte. I bought some Latte and painted a hallway and another area latte and I really like the color. I also bought a sample of hopsack and I do not like that color at all. I don't particularly like accent walls but I do like accent colors if done right. I think I would paint your brown wall latte.
If you feel the room needs a little something, you could add some crown molding.
Not sure how purist you and your husband are but the extruded polystyrene, etc. foam crown moldings look great and cost a fraction of real wood ones. Not a good choice for baseboards but few would notice the difference around the ceiling? And don't get me wrong. I am usually not a fan of faux stuff.
And I would then suggest painting the trim something other than bright white. This of course might change the color you choose for the mini-blinds. I forget exactly but the Benjamin Moore offwhite color fan has over 100 possibilities.
I know, just what you wanted was recommendations to paint after having just had the place painted. You might as well get what you like though.
Thanks everyone for your input. Unfortunately crown molding wouldn't really work here as there's really no end to the room and it flows into our kitchen and nook.
We decided to just paint the wall latte. It did suck after just having the whole house painted in May, but we think we actually did a much better job than our painters :laughing:
Here are the new photos, much better in our opinion. Now we need some wall decorations :)
natural lighting and then artificial:
Great improvement! Now buy some nice art for the walls.
Much better. Good choice.

For someone who had just lost an employment tribunal, this was a remarkable reaction.
"Let's put it this way, I'm in the pub having a party," said Dave Smith. "We are very, very happy."
The watershed tribunal wasn't just about money, though Dave (below) has certainly suffered financially, it was about the right to work.
Dave was an organiser for the construction union UCATT and found himself, like many other union organisers, on a secret, illegal blacklist.
As a safety rep, he'd raise concerns ranging from over-flowing site toilets to the discovery of asbestos. This, to construction firms, meant that he was trouble and they took their revenge.
"If I ever became the safety rep, literally within one of two days I'd be dismissed," said 46-year-old Dave from Goldhanger, Essex.
"My income went from £40,000 to £12,000 when they blacklisted me. I was a qualified engineer in the middle of the biggest building boom and my kids were on milk tokens."
The blacklist files were compiled by the shadowy Consulting Association whose boss, Ian Kerr, was fined £5,000 in 2009 after admitting breaching the Data Protection Act. A fine that's hardly justice for men like Dave who have seen their working lives blighted by this scandal.
He's claimed that he was owed £175,000 in lost income from building giant Carillion and subsidiaries after being blacklisted.
The claim failed last week at the Central London Employment Tribunal because he worked through an agency and was not directly employed by Carillion.
The firm accepted that Dave had been blacklisted but denied responsibility, arguing that it bought two subsidiaries after they were involved in the practice, a spokeswoman saying the company "does not condone any blacklisting, would not itself tolerate any such behaviour".
He sees the case, despite losing, as a fantastic chance to highlight the twin evils of blacklisting and agency jobs.
"As the Mirror's Gizza Proper Job has shown, agency workers have no protection in UK law if they get dismissed or are victimised because they raise concerns about safety, because the law only covers direct employees," he said.
The extent to which blacklisted workers were spied on was revealed by David Clancy of the Information Commissioner's Office, who told the tribunal: "There is information on the Consulting Association files that I believe could only be supplied by the police or the security services."
Campaigners say 44 building companies paid the Consulting Association to compile dossiers on union activists and many of the victims still don't know that they were on the list.
Labour MP John McDonnell is now calling for a Government inquiry, saying "these revelations are truly shocking."
Keith Ewing, law professor at King's College, London, described it as "the worst human rights abuse in relation to workers" in the UK in 50 years.
Carillion, like most major UK construction firms, relies heavily on self-employed and agency workers and Dave's not the first to learn he's got few rights.
After presiding over a Court of Appeal case in 2005 about a welder who worked for Skyblue, Carillion's in-house recruitment agency, Lord Justice David Keene said: "What is clear is that there is now a large and growing number of people in full-time or nearly full-time work who, because they work under agency arrangements, do not enjoy the full range of employment rights. This problem may in due course be regarded as a matter for legislation."
That's what our Gizza Proper Job campaign is still fighting for.

Interior Side of a Window
Hello everyone,
I need some help with a window. I installed a new interior window. The depth of the window is less than the 3x4s thus on the interior side of the window I have about a 2" that is not covered by the window. I am talking about the inside of the frame where the flashing goes. However, since it is an interior window I did not put any flashing on it so I have the bare 3x4s now. What can I do with that? Should I just cover it with thin and long strips of drywall and paint it or are there other options? Could I put a couple layers of joint tape directly on the wood, joint compound and paint over it? Or maybe some wodden strips? I hope I explained this well enough.
Thanks for your help
I'm having a hard time deciphering exactly what you are talking about... A pic would be a tremendous help. :)
Inside window?
3 X 4's:eek:
I second the vote for some pictures, none of that make since to me.
the interior trim profile design already in your home will match and attach to the window. Do you have drywall on the wall around the window or waas it not needed?

text: Anyone know of a duck hunting lease that wont break the bank near New Roads/Baton Rouge?? I've gotten word from one towards Krotz Springs but they are asking $5500 per year... quite a bit steep for my taste. It doesn't have to be for this year, primarily looking for next year but willing to pay to ensure I can reserve a spot if need be. A spot on a blind is fine as well. I do already hunt public WMA's but they are closer to New Orleans. Would like something closer to home. PM any details please.
