Troy's 750 Square Foot "Crowd Pleaser" Apartment
House Tour
Name: Troy Vanderheyden
Location: Hollywood — Los Angeles, California
Size: 750 Square Feet
Years lived in: 2 months — rent
Whenever my friend Jeff Eyser is behind a project I always know it will be well executed with charm and a sense of humor. When he was hired by the producer of his network, Troy Vanderheyden, he was given literally three weeks to completely renovate and decorate the apartment. Toning it down for livable comfort, Jeff merged his set design skills with general appreciation of architecture and a muted color palette, to create this amazing home.
Troy recently downsized from a large house, into this two level Spanish style apartment. What I really love most is that they were able to bring out the charm of the original architecture by embellishing the stairs and little arched nooks — yet Jeff still took his leap and gave it a modern twist. "I grew up in LA so I have been influenced by modern design and the changing form of decorating. I love marrying all the pop culture that is LA into my homestead."
There are many key elements in this home — like the awesome lighting choices, the rad dining room with eclectic mismatched chairs and the awesome little balcony off the master bedroom. Of all the collectables and artwork Troy notes the most significant thing in his home — "The photo from Where the Wild Things Are when you walk in the door. Saw it in a gallery and was one of five signed by the director and cinematographer and knew it would be part of the rest of my life. "
Troy believes that comfort comes first, which makes sense for someone who travels all the time. He is a producer for reality television and spends ample days on location and in the production offices. He felt that the most essential part of designing his new space was "Making it home. I travel a lot so coming home and feeling like I have some ownership of the space is important."
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: My style is Mid century crossed with L.A. farm house.
Inspiration: Architects like Richard Neutra inspire me and Lowbrow artists like Luke Chueh so it all gets mashed up.
Favorite Element: The Edison bulbs and my picture from Where the Wild Things are. Jeff did a good job of mixing up my likes and livability.
Biggest Challenge: Downsizing into a smaller place and making it feel like home.
What Friends Say: They walk in and love it. They immediately are drawn to the window and living room set up. The whole thing is a real crowd pleaser. I have heard on more than one occasion that it reminds them of a sitcom set but I think that is fun.
Biggest Embarrassment: Lack of bathroom storage due to my products.
Proudest DIY: Hiring Jeff.
Biggest Indulgence: The whole place is an indulgence. I needed to set up a life that I felt comfortable with after breaking up with my ex and moving into a smaller place. This place feels like home.
Best Advice: Have a good friend that will help you with the execution of design. Jeff knows my style and still has his own views but no matter what made it happen and as a good friend.

LOVE the "where the wild things are" Poster and the art above the bed! :) Can i live there? :D
Hellllooo, Troy!
Love the purple tile in the bathroom!
i think this is my favorite tour ever (and i view them all!). i love the colors, the style, the vibe, the furniture, everything!
Love love love that extra large photo of the guy in the animal suit and the bedroom chairs. Very classy - all around.
I'm not seeing the "L.A. farm house" aesthetic promised in the description... But maybe that's because I have no idea what an LA farm house could actually be.
Its a nice looking place, tho the sofa looks a bit too small imo.
So many fun details! Love the art above the bed
Very beautiful! I agree with girl6: the couch looks small. The two people sitting on it don't seem very comfortable. Also, the shag rug in the dining room must be difficult to keep clean. Wouldn't it be better to have something short-haired or flat where food crumbs are going to fall?
Not only is the house beautifully decorated, but this is probably my favourite collection of art in a long, long, time.
Lovely. I especially like the aqua vase & table against the gray walls.
(On a side note--AT does seem to be trending toward houses that are professionally decorated. I prefer the places that are done, bit by bit over time, by the people who live there. However beautiful, too much interior decorator product dilutes AT's quirky personal vibe.)
I'm beginning to wonder if it's "bear week" on AT!
Don't love the art over the bed (sort of like band feng shui, or whatever) but overal a really great job, nice use of color.
I agree that while beautiful, this house is not farm house, not even by LA standards.
Heh. Anyway, lovely home. Really dig the color pallet here.
Can you share the colour of paint for the dinning room and bedroom please! LOVE - this is beautiful - I so love curated over time homes - no show room chic shit!
i can't believe that is only 750sf. My place is close in size but nowhere near that amazing!
Those photos over the bed bring a whole new meaning to "put a bird on it." Love it.
Aw, it's appa! ♥
I actually like a lot of the art. And the general feel of the place, and the color palette. PURPLE BATHROOM.
(Hm... I'm really not one to hide the tv, but it does feel awkward when it's actively blocking off a window. But I guess that's the best place for it when it's in the same room as that print.)
I love your home; nice job! I love the rich colors and the sofa and the niches in the walls. Little details like that are a great bit of architecture. I like the overhead shelf and the clear cubes over the sink too. The art and the dining room light are also among my favorites. It all works so well together.
Love the tour.
Any way you can share what colour the bedroom was painted (from the RH fan deck)?
the painted niches are so simple yet so cool. Love the purple bath.
@cbreynolds: The "extra large photo of the guy in the animal suit" is a between-takes candid of actor Paul Dano (or his stunt person) dressed as the Ram while shooting "Where the Wild Things Are" a few years ago. I have loved that photo since the movie came out and would die to have a huge print like that one. Wonderful image, wonderful at that scale and terrific on the wall.
I love the "bear week" comment! But seriously, awesome job with this apartment. The architecture is truly amazing.
My fave is hardly visible; the red stairs. What a great idea to add a shock of colour next to the grey room. Paint looks chipped and worn, but no matter, the red still works!
your ability to edit is delicious. i really like the two little chairs and weird monstor doll art in the kitchen. I also like the two photographs and bench across from the bed.
ps. i love hollywood. LA has so many gems!
what aprildeann said!
I love this place and the pops of color throughout. Bags packed, just need an invitation...
A little too matchy for me but overall very nice. I love the dining room.
Three hot bears on a little gray couch? Ooh, la, la just call me Goldielocks! Love the house. Love the stairs. LOVE the art! Beautiful and comfortable looking home!
I don't understand what people like here. This house has no personality.
Yay to "bear week" on AT! :-)
This pad is very well furnished, love the wall colours and the little details that catch attention. The "Here comes trouble" is sooo me!
yes to bears, this looks very beautiful and professionally done but souless and would be lovely in a shelter mag but I prefer the actual lived in and designed by the residents of most of the houses featured on AT.
Does anybody know where I can get that pillow? Here Comes Trouble- I would LOVe to get it for a gift
I love the careful use of color to make a small space feel spacious. The house has just enough stuff to feel personal but not too much to make it feel confining. Congratulations--big hug to the wonderful bears!
Really nice! I could live there (although, being a little old lady, I'd replace the photos over the bed, I guess!) ;^)
I especially like the glowing aqua in the arched nooks, AND the restraint in not filling them up with knick-knacks. Not everybody could stand to leave them alone!
Hah hah. Love the house, LOVE the comments.
absolutely love the purple tile! that's what is so fab about old places! character. well, now we say "character!" back in the day it was probably pretty standard. my grandmother had pink and maroon. would love to have it today! also love the "here comes trouble" pillow! the place will develop more character as it's lived in--for you naysayers who say it looks too professional. live on!
Well somebody sure is in love with Luke Chueh...
@Franny - I just found this link for the pollow through google:
*looks like it's sold out though...
Where oh where can I get the metal dowel pot shelf in the kitchen?
750 square feet?!?! It seems MUCH larger!
The palette here blows me away. So beautiful, and it just makes the whole house flow. I've rarely seen a tour where I love everything, and I do in this home. My only disappointment here is Troy couldn't provide the specific paint colors for the rooms. I would love to know. (Hint, hint...)
Love the 'Where the Wild Things are' photograph. Who shot it? I know Spike Jonze brought on alot of photographers to the set in Melbourne Australia. Do you know who shot this pic?
Great place for being on the small side. Well decorated and nice pictures of the place too!
Beautiful. When someone has to have a complete home within three weeks, this is a perfect example. I love, too, that everything is available and not outrageously expensive; and it's been arranged in a personal, unique way. Great job.
I'm always annoyed by the vignette shots of the tours, but this time I really wanted a close up of the art next to the niche in the stairs. It looks like it might be cool, but I can't tell.
LOVE the photo of the WTWTA set. Don't get the articulated mirror in the dining room.
Has Troy been to Vanderheyden winery in Napa?
Lovely calming colours. A peaceful and uncluttered home.
Well, there's no where else to put it, considering that you can't put the Where the Wild Things Are print anywhere else. I suppose it could be possible to wall-mount it next to the door where the blue and yellow diptych currently is, but if you then turn the couch to face it it ruins the flow from the doorway to the stairs....
Since the man wants his TV (he's a reality tv producer, "just get rid of it" is not only obnoxious but against the party line) I think the designer did the best he could according to the client's needs, and the room still gets lots of light. If it makes you feel better, pretend that the view out there is terrible anyway? XD
Love it.I love the colors,the sconces and the dining room chandelier.A few parts kind of remind me of the '80s (in a good way).But I wouldn't want to block a window with a TV.
Love it. It looks like 750 sq. ft on each floor. What color is the wall in the living room? And who makes the rugs in the living and dining room? I can't tell if the dining room rug has multiple colors or if the effect is lighting.
Super duper photography! She has truly captured the elegance of this place. She knows her photograhy - great eye!
Cool Paul
Hey, someone else spotted Appa too! <3
I love this. And for those who say it lack personality, are you kidding me? I think Jeff nailed it: he incorporated much-loved items and a limited palette to create an apartment that seems large and welcoming. I could live there. Easily.
As for the television, I'm part of the "don't put a TV in your bedroom" crowd, but here, given Troy's profession, the size of the apartment, and the bedroom layout, I think the tv works.
I see the shelving unit placed where the refrigerator is meant to be. Where is the fridge?
Absolutely delightful. Shall come and visit when I can get a flight from Scotland!!
I really like this apartment.. the photography is top-notch! :)
@ kitster --
Looks like an IKEA Grundtal to me!
Love this space. Sophisticated and whimsical. So what's with the framed triple over the bed? At first glance I was offended by the overt in-your-face nature of the gesture but then I realized that taken as a whole it becomes something both phallic and sculptural and as a graphic looks pretty cool.
Where did you purchase the rugs?? Especially the one in the living room??
Can I ask where you acquired the awesome credenza that you have your TV on in your living room?


text: Tag Away - Easily And Safely Remove Skin Tags From Home Tag Away is a renowned and an all natural resolution for treating skin tags in the home. Since Tag Away is merely composed of plant extracts an individual does not need to be worried about dangerous results from Tag Away use. The Thuja Occidentalis plant extracts contained within Tag Away safely dry up the skin tag until it is literally starved and falls off. A user of Tag Away has to simply apply the product just a few occasions a day(with a cotton swab) and the skin tag shall be no more within 3 to 8 weeks. Amazingly, the Tag Away product is able to naturally accomplish skjin tag elimination with out dealing out soreness on its user nor leaving scars behind once the skin tag has been removed. Every Tag Away sale comes with sufficient product to carry out 60 applications. This amount of product is well sufficient to find out its value in eradicating skin tags. It is a vital aspect within the purchasing process for the reason that Tag Away product is garnered with a 30 day warranty and if it proves inneffective the customer can send back the unused portion for an entire refund. The current high acclaim for the Tag Away product is almost definitely as a result of its capacity to affordably get rid of skin tags with ease and discreetly. In contrast, other competing home skin tag removal products are joined with a hefty price and lack a refund. Obviously, another option to removing skin tags is through going to a doctor and having them surgically detached however, unfortunately, this method winds up being bothersome and more pricey than the topical treatment supplied by Tag Away. Through the use of Tag Away, skin tag victims are capable of finally(not to point out discreetly) remove the curse of unattractive skin tags within their lives. Moreover, shoppers are able to have the satisfaction of using a product which boasts superior consumer opinions and guarantees success instead of gambling away their cash on uncertainty. Clearly, one of the best selling benefits of Tag Away is its skill to deliver success with out resorting to surgical methods- including, freezing, burning or surgery. One has to simply apply the topical therapy onto their skin tag- no matter where it is located on the body because its non irritating nature makes it safe for delicate body parts as well. Unless you are a masochist, the ability to get rid of skin tags with out experiencing soreness within the procedure or being riddled with scars as soon as they're gone is a significant vote in favor of the product. There is no query as as to if Tag Away is efficient at removing skin tags as the data and opinions openly speak to its ability in doing so. With that said, one using Tag Away ought to expect to come across a much longer removal process than the more invasive counterpart skin tag elimination techniques. Naturally, many people are not deterred by this aspect since they like the convenience, privateness and pain free capabilities a home skin tag elimination kit offers. Evidently, if a person is in search of a quick elimination method they might want to resort to a extra invasive skin tag removing method- including freezing, burning or surgical removal. All-Pure No Scarring No Discomfort No Chemicals All Pores and skin Sorts Non-Irritating Dries & Falls Away Works in 3-eight Weeks At present, one can buy Tag Away on the internet and receive an awesome deal on the product seeing as there's a purchase one get one free promotion being offered to all online Tag Away purchases.

Meth Arrests in Gallatin County
Date of News Release: 09/03/2010
(Gallatin County, Ky.) -- Troopers at Post 5, Campbellsburg have increased enforcement efforts to combat a rise in methamphetamine production in the post area. Undercover operations and interdiction efforts have led to the discovery of numerous methamphetamine labs in Gallatin county since late August. The Kentucky State Police have arrested 18 individuals with meth related charges including manufacturing methamphetamine.

Peter Popps' other amazing space age fetish shoes.
Classic shapes, repulsive beauty and stunning creativity in footwear.
Welcome to Shoe Pr0n.
You won't find any dainty strappy numbers, flip flops, or gladiator sandals here. If you think Uggs or Crocs are acceptable forms of footwear, we probably won't get along. There are a million shoe blogs out there, but as this one is curated by me it is obviously going to be full of fabulous things.
Zaha Hadid and United Nude- two of my go-to names for good design have teamed up to create this impossible shoe.
Made of vinyl rubber, fiberglass, and leather, this shoe is truly original. Hadid has used her architectural magic to find the perfect angle that makes the shoe appear to float. It almost looks like it couldn't possibly balance. Yet it does. Science fictional design!!
A two-designer label launched in 2004 and based in Berlin, Miroike is the artchild of Ulrike Seidel and Ramiro Calderoan. The two studied under Dame V. Westwood, and their deconstructionist attitude towards footwear is a wonderful nod to her aesthetic sensibilities.
Until recently I hadn't heard of them, but I'll be keeping an eye on their work from now on.
(via shoelust)
I have no idea who these are by, but they are perfect. Silver bullets for your feet.
(via footwearartisan)
Jil Sander.
Hints of color on the edges, oversized decorative buckles…. These are cartoons of shoes.
I love them.
(via shoelust)
Nearly sling back bootie.
(via shoelust)
Sophia Kokosalaki.
Pretty sure every shoe fetishist (I mean an ACTUAL fetishist, before the norms coopted the term "fetish") bought these shoes…
(Source: do-it-to-me-heels, via heelsoftherunway)
Like many of my favorite designers, Ilja Visser is a Dutch experimental shoe designer who raises an eyebrow and smirks at footwear expectations.
This is the most graceful of her designs, but not necessarily the most interesting. Stay tuned for more of her experimental work.
Graphic and unexpected.

|QUOTE (lxr @ Saturday, Aug 24 2013, 22:31)
| There's a spoiler-free ~15 min video of all the mapping-relevant outdoor scenes from the TV ads. It has no sound, so that it doesn't even spoil the experience of watching TV. This is really just for mapping.
You'll find it on reddit (in the gtaleaks subreddit). No link, sorry, and please don't spam this thread with stills.
There are lots of new details (place names, buildings etc.), but mostly in well-known areas. The most obvious revelation are two shots of the area east of the wind farm.
We should all migrate to Reddit honestly, maybe create our own subreddit for mapping. This forum has gone to hell.

Throwback Thursday // Frankie Avalon Flies Delta
By: Marie Force, Delta Archivist, Atlanta
With that perfectly coiffed hair, Frankie Avalon was no Beauty School Dropout! This Delta flight attendant crew is all smiles posing with the actor/singer in '62.
Shown arriving in Atlanta in November 1962, with Stewardesses Sherry Gill, Glenda Little and Joyce Potter. Frankie was busy promoting a new Christmas album and enjoying the success of his last Top 40 Pop hit "You Are Mine," released in April.
His career was about to take a major turn after four years as a teen pop sensation. In 1963, he teamed up with Annette Funicello as her surfing boyfriend in the first of the hit teen Beach Party movies.

What Artists Can Learn from Gap's Logo Change Snafu
You're a Brand.
You've established a loyal fan and follower base.
You're identity is magnetic.
You and your followers and fans are bound by a special connection.
Then overnight, you decide that something about your brand is old and stale
Something about your identity needs changing.
So you change something.
Fan and follower backlash ensues.
The blacklash is overwhelming you.
So you change your identity back to what everyone was used to.
Like the Gap, who recently decided that one of the most symbolic and prominent attributes of their brand identity needed updating (their logo), you may be facing a critical point in your career where you've decided to change something about your look, personality, artistic style, etc; something that changes how others perceive and identify you. Here are a few tips to help you make (or not make) this transition.
Don't be afraid - I applaud Gap for taking the plunge into something so new and drastic. One of the attributes that make a great artist is the ability to dissuade fear; to pursue a passion with boldness and vigor. When you are looking to make a change, the worst thing that you can do is question whether everyone will like it. Of course some people are go to hate it. And its undeniable that you may have to justify the change to those who may hold influence over your brand. Be sure that you understand why you're making the change. Is this change helping you or necessary for you to grow and expand physically/emotionally/socially/psychologically/spiritually.
Do it for the right reasons - I'm sure Gap had plenty of reasons why their logo needed updating. Why are you changing? If you feel that you may get that big break if you just made that small change – you may be sorely disappointed. Before making any major changes to your brand identity, turn to your game plan. Check if these changes align with your strategic goal and objectives. Are they going to help you grow and reach your goal faster/more efficiently?
Ask your close advisors for guidance - Its likely that Gap did their due diligence in consulting internally, as well as with a firm to make the difficult decision to change their logo. In consulting, I always tell my clients that they should have a select group of advisors (their own personal board) that they trust to help them make the hard choices even when they go against the grain. These are the persons that you should turn to before changing any part of your brand identity. Ask for their honest opinion and be ready to for an honest answer.
Take the temperature of your followers and fans - Many people feel that Gap missed the boat here; they may have avoided the backlash (and money spent on designing a new logo) if they would have just taken the temperature of their fans and followers, towards the change. Even if you're just starting out in your career, you have fans and followers. Take a poll. For example, if you're a hard rock band considering going acoustic – record one of your hard rock songs acoustically and share it with your fan base. You may be surprised at the response.
Follow trends, but don't be a slave to them – In a statement to the press, Gap said that one of the reasons that they wanted to change up their logo was because it was old. What they soon learned was that old doesn't mean irrelevant. If you're feeling that a part of your brand identity is holding you back from reaching your goal and that it may be losing its "trendy factor" then, by all means, consider changing it. However, if staying in line with trends is your main driver, you may find yourself having to change your brand identity season over season.
Search for the silver lining – Although Gap suffered backlash from their fans and follows and had to make the decision to revert back to their famous logo, what they ultimately discovered is how many people LOVE the Gap and are willing to raise their voice and fight for the safekeeping of its identity. This may sound a bit sentimental, but really, people were fighting to maintain that special connection – magnetism – relationship. If your fans/followers have a special connection with your brand, don't break the bond. And if you absolutely must, do it gently, slowly and with caution.

Poway residents who didn't want to brave the crowds on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday still have one more big chance to save courtesy of Cyber Monday.
Similar to the two other major shopping events, Cyber Monday differs in that consumers don't have to leave the comfort of their own homes (or offices) to take advantage of some pretty big pre-holiday deals. All the bargains laid out for Cyber Monday are for online shoppers only.
So how can you find the best deals online this Cyber Monday?
Here are just a few stores that are planning Cyber Monday deals:
- Kohl's – This retailer has listed deals on toys, shoes, clothes and more.
- Walmart – This retailer has a splash page set up and always offers online deals. To get a sneak peek at some of its holiday specials, the store invites consumers to check out its Facebook page.
- Target – This store's Cyber Monday deals include personal care items, TVs and more.
- Amazon – This online retailer tends to celebrate Cyber Monday in a very big way. Check for changing deals all day.

"Danube - River of Life" for Danube Day 2006
Thirteen Countries to celebrate 3rd Danube Day
Series of Events Planned Across Danube River Basin on 29 June
VIENNA, June 2006 - A series of events have been planned for the celebration of the third Danube Day, 29 June, to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the Danube River Protection Convention in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 1994. Danube Day has been initiated by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR), a Vienna-based organization composed of representatives of the countries of the Danube River Basin, represented by their ministries. ICPDR is responsible for Water Management in the Danube Basin.
"Through the Danube Day, we hope to communicate the principle of "basin solidarity" - people living in cities along the Inn River, the Mur, the Drava, the Tisza, the Sava, and the Prut are all connected with one another through this great river basin. We want to ensure that all peoples of the Danube share in the celebration of being part of the Danube basin and at the same time, share the responsibility of protecting this river and its ecosystems," saiys Philip Weller, Executive Secretary of the ICPDR. "A huge international festival will salute the mighty Danube. Danube Day is a tribute to the vital role the river plays in people's lives: in providing water, power, recreation and livelihoods", adds Weller.
The Danube river basin is the most international river basin in the world, connecting 13 European States (Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Serbia-Montenegro, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine) and covers 10 per cent of the European continent. Protection efforts for the Danube have always been an illustration of cooperation between these countries, despite political and socio-economic differences.
More than 100 Danube Day activities will take place in all 13 Danube river basin countries. Governmental bodies, local authorities, NGOs and academia are organizing them jointly. The celebrations include concerts, river cleaning activities, festivals, biking tours and more.
Danube Day 2006 follows the slogan DANUBE:RIVER OF LIFE. Fish play an important role in the Danube Rivers. Fish are more than just a valuable source of nutrition for the human population; their healthy numbers also serve as an important indicator of the biological quality of the river requested. Therefore a fish poster has been developed, which can be downloaded at the website of the Danube Day (http://www.danubeday.org) or requested at the ICPDR Secretariat.
An overarching activity on the Danube Day will be the " Danube Art Master" - a school competition that will focus on young people. The competition is being jointly organized by the ICPDR and the Danube Environmental Forum, a non-governmental organization. The International Danube Art Master is organised for the 3rd time and all national winners will be invited for a trip to Vienna, Austria, in autumn.
Danube Day has become a yearly event. "Danube Day is an integral part of the communication activities of the ICPDR; from this year on, 29 June should be seen as a day for the manifestation of sharing the Danube river basin, one of the largest and most diverse river basins in Europe," says Weller.
The United Nations Development Programme/ Global Environmental Forum Danube Regional Project, Coca-Cola, ALCOA Foundation and many more organisations are partners of Danube Day 2006.

Beth McKenna, who , began working with acrylics, then tried oils. Her paintings range from abstracts, to landscapes, to seascapes, to still lifes. She has been taking painting classes in Highland Park and recently began learning the art of woodblock printmaking at a print studio in Evanston. It's a technique she now knows she'll continue using.
"I go do the woodblocks, then I go paint a traditional landscape, then I'll paint a completely abstract piece. And so I've just got things going all the time," McKenna explained. "I keep my hands in a lot of different things."
Aside from her own endeavors, she also does commissions for individual art buyers or home designers.
"I'll do a picture of somebody's ranch in Texas and a picture of somebody else's lake house in Wisconsin," McKenna said. "Sometimes it's just a commission saying, 'I need a painting for my living room.' So it's very loose. It doesn't bother me and I've never had that backfire on me."
Inspiration All Around
McKenna says that so many things inspire her, and that she sometimes agonizes over capturing the color of something. Snow, she says, isn't really white.
"Many things inspire me. It can just be color and light," she said. "And then I'll circle around and I'll be doing these landscapes. And then I'll be doing something totally abstract that's inspired by music or a garden.
"I find myself doing a lot of landscapes and seascapes," she said. "I love to be outdoors. I'm always hiking and taking thousands of pictures of things. So I think that inspires me more than anything else."

The other night, we had the kids over at my mom and dad's house. They were babysitting for us so that Evan and I could get out by ourselves for a little while. We checked Kaitlyn right before we left, and her blood sugar reading was in the low-normal range. Dinner was still an hour away, so just to be safe, we gave her a small snack without insulin to keep her elevated until dinner.
About 45 minutes later, we got a call from my mom. Kaitlyn had told my mom that she felt a little funny and thought she should check herself. Sure enough -- she was low! Kaitlyn's blood sugar must have been dropping fast, since even with the extra snack, she dropped significantly in less than an hour. She drank some juice and was just fine a few minutes later. Normally, my reaction would have been to worry. This time though, I actually had the opposite reaction: I was so excited that Kaitlyn had actually felt her low and decided to check on her own!
This is something we have been struggling with since day one. Rarely has she been able to understand how she feels in relation to her blood-sugar levels. Most of the time, it's a lot more obvious to me than to her. One moment, she'll be lying on the floor or crying, and even though it's very obvious to me that her blood sugar is low, she seems oblivious to what's going on. It's always been the same story -- she knows she doesn't feel good, but she doesn't know why.
Lately, I've been trying to coach her on this. Sometimes she'll come to me and say, "Mommy, I don't feel well." Then I say, "What should you do every time you don't feel well?" She'll reluctantly say, "Check myself?" "Yes! Go check yourself!" I say.
Other times, she'll have a low reading and I'll say, "See how you're feeling right now? This is how you feel when you're low."
Well, it's finally paying off! She is finally remembering that she needs to check every time she wants to eat something, but equally important, she is recognizing how her body feels and checking when she feels a little off. It's one more step to being a little bit more independent!
About the author: My name is Kim. My daughter Kaitlyn (the third of our five children) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just a few years after my nephew James was diagnosed with the same disease. I'm excited to pair up with my sister-in-law, Jen, to share our story with you!

Here is the cover art for the album (COMING OUT TOMORROW) done by the adorable, talented, and super hard working Amanda! If you aren't following her go do so right now! She's really incredible at what she does! Legit one of the coolest people I've ever met!
Funny story, there was that homestuck map going around over a year ago where you plugged in where you lived and it put you on this map and showed other people that lived near you and stuff. So when I put in my address there was a dot literally a block away from mine. Guess who it was. I was really shocked because that was basically hella cray right? Well turns out it was just like showing her dot at the exact center of the city we live in so we actually didn't live that close. I checked out her tumblr and I was like blown away at how cool her art was. Then it turned out she already followed me! Whoa! Anyway fast forward to about January of last year. I'm at ALA and I'm talking to this like super cute Jade cosplayer for like two hours or something ridiculous. And it turns out its her! oh SNAP
How crazy is that!
Anyway, about the cover. I sent her a link to where I kept the unfinished track files and had her give it a listen. I told her to go nuts and she totally nailed the mood of the album. Its really cool! Dang do kids even say cool anymore? Its the bomb.
hahahaha oh god
anyway on the release tomorrow itll have text on it that i butcheringly slapped onto it yea son

What if... Someone invented teleport...
What if... someone invent teleport.
Basically you can teleport anything or anyone anywhere on earth, maybe even to moon or Mars, just ignore all technological difficulties for now.
The question is, what would be economical consequences, with teleport we don't need any transport and all related businesses are not needed. Lots of people would lose their job. At the same time this bring almost unlimited opportunities and grow.
Also should inventor give for free blue prints to build teleport to anyone without any control or hide it so no one would do anything stupid as people are not ready for this kind of technology ?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Adam GSep 19 2013: So kind of summary:
- would be minimal due to slowness of adapting teleport into society and allowing people and industries to change.
- Less time spend exercising - but I think would be same as with digital cameras, people would still exercise anyway as there is pleasure in travelling.
- due to new and almost unlimited ways of transporting goods and people, also interplanetary which makes mining new minerals and discoveries easier.
- Spread people to whole galaxy - opening unlimited opportunities
Open technology ?
- Based on years of research and millions of dollars spend this technology would be patented and wouldn't be available for free to everyone
- Also probably restricted by government
Imagine what would happened if someone actually invented this and give to everyone for free to build. Chaos ?

FASS618 The PhD Viva: Tragedy or Triumph? (Final Year Students only)
Module description
This session aims to give students in their final year an opportunity to think about their upcoming viva, to discuss their expectations and fears and to think about ways of preparing themselves for this event. In the session, I will share my own experiences of the viva, from a variety of perspectives: as PhD student, supervisor and examiner. Based on these and other experiences we will discuss the practices of PhD vivas, thinking about conventions, rules and expectations and what could (or could not) go wrong. Together, we will discuss ways of making this event as pleasurable and as successful as possible. As part of the session, we will watch a video showing parts of a viva. We will think about the kind of questions you may be asked in your viva and we will role-play the initial parts of a viva. The idea is for you to have an opportunity to experience what it is like to be the doctoral candidate in a viva.
Aims and objectives
The session intends to help students prepare themselves for the viva. At the end of the session, students are expected to have gained a general understanding of what the viva entails, what rules it follows and how they might wish to conduct themselves during this important examination.
This module is for students in their final year only.

Excitation of Water — The lowest excited electronic state of water is well known to be dissociative in an isolated gas phase monomer. However, we have established that the excited potential surface instead becomes quasibound when the OH moiety is hydrogen bonded to a neighboring water molecule. This has important ramifications for the behavior of excited liquid water and ice, newly raising the possibility of energy transport over substantial distances by migration of a neutral exciton.
Solvation Effects — The ultraviolet absorption peak commonly used to identify hydroxyl radical in aqueous solution has been computationally shown to be mainly due to a novel charge-transfer-from-solvent electronic transition that is prominent when OH is hemibonded, rather than more stable hydrogen bonded, to H2O. The hemibonding interaction can be as much as half as strong as the more stable hydrogen bonding interaction, and is significant over a substantial geometrical region. In other work, it has been shown that anions become smaller and cations larger when placed in a polar solvent. These counterintuitive trends are explained in terms of screening or descreening by the solvent electric field of electron-electron repulsions in the solute periphery.

Chevrolet is the official vehicle of the 112th Army-Navy Game presented by USAA and they are taking that job very seriously with their new Camaro Military Tribute Edition.
The Military Tribute Camaro combines all the five armed forces (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard) with some of the military's highest individual awards and current campaign medals. It was designed by award-winning artist Mickey Harris.
"We at Chevrolet want to do all we can to show our gratitude to the men and women serving in our armed forces, those who come home with life-changing injuries, like Cpl. Gaertner, and our fallen heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country," said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet Global Marketing and Strategy.
The Chevrolet Camaro Military Tribute will officially be announced during "America's Game," which begins at 2:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, December 10, 2011. The Military Tribute Camaro will then be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson at its January 17-22, 2012 event in Scottsdale, Ariz. All the proceeds will go to Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans.
UPDATE 01/23/11: The special edition Military Tribute Camaro has found an owner willing to pay a small fortune for it. The winning bidder - one from the Internet, no less - put in $175,000 for the chance to own the unique one-off Camaro at the recently-concluded Barrett Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. Proceeds from the sale of this special Camaro will go to the Achilles Freedom Team, which helps wounded veterans of all services overcome their injuries through athletics.

TEAMS: New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins
By Christian Arnold (@CA_NYhockey) AP photo UNIONDALE, N.Y – Two games, two comebacks, and one common denominator; the play of Kyle Okposo. The 25-year-old winger has made quite the mark over the last two games against the Pittsburgh Penguins. On Friday his fight helped sparked the Islanders and his goal in the third period won the game for them. And despite loss Sunday, Okposo again proved huge. His shorthanded breakaway goal 5:31 got the Isles back into the game and reenergized the sold out Nassau Coliseum. After seeing around fifteen minutes of playing time in games one and two, Okposo saw his ice time jump to 24:23. Islanders' head coach Jack Capuano also featured him predominantly in the overtime period on Sunday. "He's been, especially the last two and a half months of the year, he's playing a lot more physical," Capuano said of Okposo's play. "He's playing a lot more poised and confident with the puck. He's playing the way he ended the year last year. He's been a big reason f...

MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — A funeral service is set Tuesday for a Virginia State Police trooper who died while on duty.
State police say the service for Sgt. J. Michael Phillippi is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday at McCabe Memorial Baptist Church in Martinsville. It will be followed by a reception and lunch in his memory.
State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller says a rescue crew on Saturday found the 65-year-old Phillippi still seated inside a car that had crashed into a road sign, crossed Route 57 and hit an embankment. She says a medical examiner determined the cause of death was a medical condition, not injuries from the crash. Privacy laws prevented disclosure of the specific condition.
Phillippi was working an overnight supervisory shift. He was taken to Martinsville Memorial Hospital, where he died.

García Jofre de Loaísa
García Jofre de Loaísa (1490 – 20 July 1526) was a 16th-century Spanish explorer ordered by King Charles I of Spain to command an expedition to Asia, known as the Loaísa expedition, which in 1525 was sent by the western route to colonize the Spice Islands in the East Indies, thus crossing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. More than 450 men were aboard, including different kinds of trades and administrative staff, intended to establish a permanent Spanish settlements in the Spanish East Indies.
A fleet of seven ships took part on the expedition: Santa María de la Victoria, Espiritu Santo, Anunciada, San Gabriel, Santa María del Parral, San Lesmes and Santiago. Jofre de Loaísa was appointed captain along with Juan Sebastián Elcano, who had reached the Spice islands in 1521 during the Magellan expedition. The fleet sailed from Corunna on July, 24 1525 and reached the Patagonian shores in January 1526 and by then two of the ships had lost contact with the fleet. In the following weeks, the fleet alternatively gathered and dispersed due to high winds while trying unsuccessfully to enter the Strait of Magellan. Two ships were wrecked and one tacked into the Atlantic and deserted from the expedition. Eventually the remaining four vessels, in bad weather, reached the Pacific Ocean in May, just to be again dispersed, this time permanently, by another storm.
One of the galleons, San Lesmes, disappeared. The Santiago sailed for the North and in an astonishing 10,000 kilometre sailing reached the Pacific coast of Mexico in July, 1526, achieving the first navigation from Europe to the Western coast of North America.
The third ship, Santa María del Parral, sailed the Pacific, and reached Sangir off the northern coast of Celebes, where the ship was beached and its crew were variously killed or enslaved by the natives, four of them being rescued in 1528 by another Spanish expedition coming from Mexico. The galleon, Santa Maria de la Victoria, was the only ship to reach the Spice Islands, in September, 1526.
Successive explorers of the expedition died while crossing the Pacific Ocean. Loaísa died of scurvy on July 30, 1526, Elcano died a few days later, Alonso de Salazar died after a month and Yñigez reached the islands of Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines and the Moluccas, but died of food poisoning, and De la Torre anchored in Indonesia to wait for help from Spain. Only Andrés de Urdaneta and 24 other men survived to land in the Spice islands, just to be caught by the Portuguese, who had traveled there from their outposts in the East Indies. Eventually Urdaneta and a few of his men managed to return to Spain in 1536 in the Portuguese India Armada and under Portuguese guard.
The fate of the San Lesmes is explored in Greg Scowen's conspiracy thriller The Spanish Helmet which is based on Robert Langdon's theory that the lost vessel made its way to, and discovered, New Zealand following a grounding on the French atoll, Amanu.

A guy came in to install and configure our library software and as part of the configuration he set up a dns entry for the domain name to go the the webserver but also on a specific port number. I think he did this as part of the DNS entry on our Server 2003 box. Unfortunately i was called to turn a plug on or something at the time (which was apparently really urgent) and so missed what he actually did.
Am i right that this can be done at the DNS console or am i being stoopid.
I tried looking for a DNS record that maybe did what i thought i needed but it failed miserably.
I think i tried the SRV record.

Wedding Shoot. Augustusburg Castle, Saxony, Germany. May 2014.
CHECK THE LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION: Any donations welcome.
"The Untold Story" is a reflexive documentary film following the footsteps of Pawel, a student living in the UK.
Paweł, the protagonist of the film goes back to his country: Poland, in order to learn about the story of his grandfather, who through unforeseen circumstances managed to escape the Auschwitz concentration camp.
In his investigation the protagonist can only count on residual documentation from Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, as well as short testimonies given to him by various family members.
In his quest to find out more about his now deceased grandfather, Paweł will visit Auschwitz and conduct interviews with the museum archivists, and researchers. Through family interviews, he will attempt to portray his grandfather, a withdrawn figure, who contrary to many other Auschwitz survivors decided not to speak about his experience of a concentration camp.
I have joined powers with Christopher Thomas McGill and Aderson Rocha to create a sequel to a documentary film following 12 months of life of multi story tenants in Dundee. The film has been commissioned by the Dundee City Council, and is due for internet release this winter. STV has covered the story in local Tayside news.
The coverage of our film "Our Multi Story 2" will be broadcasted on STV News tonight at 6pm! :D.
The film documents the changing face of Lochee area in Dundee, and promotes a partnership between the tenants and the City Council, thus giving the people a platform to speak out about their problems in public.
"Our Multi Story 2", a joint film project between Aranha Productions and Dundee City Council will receive an STV coverage today.
This showreel consists of few of my favourite films, I have either directed, produced, edited, or worked on as a cinematographer.

Louisville under a winter storm warning
As the city prepares for a winter storm that could drop as much as eight inches of snow, the Louisville Metro Emergency Management Agency is offering advice on weathering the storm safely.
"Everyone is potentially at risk during winter storms and frigid weather," said EMA director Doug Hamilton. "People can be injured or die from traffic accidents on icy roads, suffer heart attacks while shoveling snow, or develop hypothermia from prolonged exposure to cold."
Hamilton recommends listening to a weather radio or a commercial radio or television station to stay informed about winter storm watches, warnings and advisories.
"All emergency preparation begins with the same four steps," Hamilton said. "Be aware, be prepared, have a kit and make a plan."
At home and at work, plan ahead for winter storms by having these in hand:
If you are already indoors during hazardous winter weather:
The best advice for traveling during forecasted winter conditions is simply, "stay at home". Only travel if necessary. However, if you must get in a car:
Before traveling:
If you are stranded in your vehicle during hazardous winter weather:
A good automobile Winter Safety Kit includes: cell phone and charger, blankets, flashlight and extra batteries, first-aid kit, knife, high-calorie non-perishable food, bottled water, extra clothing to keep dry, large empty can to use as emergency toilet, tissues and paper towels, small can and waterproof matches to melt snow for drinking water, sack of sand or cat litter for traction, shovel, windshield scraper and brush, tool kit, tow rope, battery booster cables, water container, compass and road maps.
Dress for the storm if you must be outdoors during severe winter weather:

What a difference a week makes. Last Friday we in Thrasherville were riding a high…the team had just thumped the Islanders 6-3, they were sitting in eighth place in the east with 66 points and they had the playoffs within their grasp.
Keep the foot on the throttle, it was thought, and the playoffs are just around the corner.
Today…well, they are still stuck on Route 66 after dropping four consecutive games by the combined score of 14-4. As such, they now tied with the Tampa Bay Lightning for 10th/11th place in the conference…sitting only two points away from 13th.
If they continue traveling on Route 66, they will more than likely run smack dab into downtown Lotteryville by the time we fight Monday morning traffic.
Now, regarding last night's latest Thrashers disappointment…once again, John Anderson's O-fense looked completely disorganized and discombobulated. It was as if they had just met each other Thursday morning and were still in the process of getting to know each other. Really, the only player that could be excused for this maybe is Slava Kozlov, who was making his first appearance since February 6. For his efforts, he got an assist on Johnny Odya's goal and was a +1 for the night.
But I think Nik Antropov summed it up best when he said, "I don't think we were ready to play for the first period and a half".
Really…I mean….seriously? "Were not ready to play"?
This was ONLY game number 66…there's that number again…you're playoff chances are in the process of circling the drain…the time to make up the difference is growing shorter and shorter by the day…and you're playing one of the few teams left on the schedule with fewer points than do the Thrashers. But the team was "not ready to play"???
Johan Hedberg got start number 32 last night against the CBJs and took the loss. He's now 16-12-5 but his GAA was lowered to 2.63. In stopping 19 of 21 shots he now has a .914 SV%. Uh-huh, you saw that correctly…the Thrashers' held an opponent to just 21 SOG. Anytime they do that, they should be expected to win.
Of the two goals Moose was beaten on…the first one was scored by R.J. "I would like to have an" Umberger as his shot took an unfortunate deflection off Chris Chelios' stick. It happened while Nik Antropov sat in the box for interference. The second resulted after Chelios was unable to recover from being caught too far up on the pinch. Kristian Huselius notched number 18 on the season on that one.
And so, while others like Montreal and Boston seem to have successful programmed in the correct coordinates in their playoff GPS systems…and we in Thrasherville continue to watch the team spin in circles on Route 66 as the rest of the NHL traffic speeds by… one has to wonder if this year the Great Octocluster finally decides that they have seen this scenery for far too long and are tired of circling the same block over and over with the same driver at the wheel.
Maybe, just maybe, this will be the time that they tell Don Waddell to pull over at the next gas station and…while he is busy asking the attendant for direction…they pull out and leave him there.

At this point I'm supporting the "tank it" method in hopes of another top four draft pick. This season is toast. I can't even stand to watch the games anymore.
Time for a good house cleaning, from coaches to the ownership. This team needs a clean slate. Sure, the coaches and DW are ultimately good guys and you hate for it to happen, but it's time and I'm tired of this team losing year after year.
The leadership of the team may need some changes, but I am optimistic about the talent of the future. I'm looking forward to seeing names like O'Dell, Kulda, Morin, Bergfors, Macarthur, Postma, Cormier and Kane on the ice together. If Little and Bogosian get their collective "spit" together and play to their potential then thats even more to look forward to. I'm looking forward to seeing Esposito prove his abilities as well.
Here's lookin' at next season.

Check out this gem from the NHL site in a softball-questions-only interview with all the Southeast Division GMs
NHL.com: What do you enjoy most about your job and what's most agonizing?
Waddell: "Certainly I enjoy the pressure that comes with the job of putting a hockey team together and watching it every night. Probably the most disappointing thing is when the team doesn't perform to a level that you feel they're capable of reaching."
Hmmmm….Let's break this down a bit so that everyone can understand what it's like to live in a teflon fantasy world (insert Jeopardy music here…):
(a) What pressure?
(b) Dumpster Diver Don is about the only one who could stand to watch this team every night.
(c) The team is performing EXACTLY to the level its capable of.
(d) DDD's perception (what he "feels") has never meshed with reality, that's why ASG still thinks he's the perfect man for the job. Don't want that messy "reality" creeping in around here. Could have a negative effect on the sheep. No sheep, no wool? How then would we cover our eyes?
March 13th, 2010
11:37 pm
Well, let's see. One poster thinks the boycott was the reason Kovy left. Stroz says the boycott has worked because "heads have rolled". Now, was that ticket reps who were let go? Ushers? Janitors? Whoever it was, I guess that's a start to work your way up the ladder towards Waddell. If you can just hold on long enough to work through all marketing employees, finance people, ticket office employees, equipment managers, oh and even Thrash himself, then your plan will work. At the current rate of tangible return on your boycott (you know, those heads that rolled so far), the lease at Philips will expire before you get your man.
Sage, you haven't found "another organization man" here. Frankly, I doubt you could find your own butt with your hands. I am simply a fellow hockey fan who doesn't agree with your plan. A fan who is amused because you want Waddell's head so bad that the obvious lack of results of your campaign doesn't register. I want the team sold to ownership that cares about the product, who also will keep the team here. I also want Waddell gone tonight, either by ASG or his own hand. Fact is though, he is obviously not personally embarrassed by his local reputation or results and feels no responsibility. The other fact is ASG has demonstrated that they will not terminate his employment for reasons known only to them. In other words, I can want those things and it isn't registering with them. That leaves me with a choice. Stay home and weally, weally hope they get the message. Or, go watch some hockey and let the situation play out. Your choice and mine.
Oh yeah Sage, I really would be thrilled if your plan had worked. Wouldn't it be great to have a new GM, maybe a new coach and not have to read how bad Waddell sucks and when his contract might expire? Until then, you may want to weally wook at your wesults. They suck so far. Beweive that.

People or Results? You Don't Have to Choose!
As a leader, you've likely felt this fundamental tension—the tension between focusing on people and driving results. Despite all the research telling
us that effective leaders do both, most of us struggle to balance the happiness of our teams and the health of the bottom line. We are more comfortable focusing
on one or the other, and we feel overwhelmed and drained by the challenges we face when we try to accomplish both.
In Bankable Leadership, psychologist, executive coach, and proud leadership geek Dr. Tasha Eurich (or Dr. T) solves this dilemma and reveals how to make
leadership exhilarating, fun, and fulfilling. Built on decades of research and the transformation of real leaders, her fresh, practical model can help anyone
become bankable—producing results while fostering a healthy work environment that ensures sustainable success.
