Accademia Di Vino reviews from OpenTable diners
- We saw the paper that dayOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 1/4/2012We saw the paper that day and knew the restaurant was closing, but went anyway. A mistake---could tell it was in a closing down mode. Food was mediocre and service atrocious. Glad to see Tony;s DiNapoli has taken over the space. Hope they open there; have missed them since the 2nd Avenue subway project did them in, like it did most of 2nd Avenue and continues to do so.
- Great place. Ate here NewJcueVIPDined on 12/31/2011Great place. Ate here New Year's Eve. Sorry to see it close!Special Features:
- Truly enjoyable New Years Eve.OpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 12/31/2011This was indeed a perfect place to share a convivial New Year Eve's dinner among friends. The restaurant was smartly decorated, just festive enough with baloons and candles at every table. There was a special menu for the evening and we took advantage of it plus ordering a few favorites from the standard menu. It was an enjoyable and memorable night and everything was perfect.Special Features:
- We love it and will miss it!BetsyKMVIPDined on 12/29/2011We love it and will miss it! This was a created special occasion to say good-bye to one of our favorite restaurants. This time, probably because we were sitting basically at the junction of two rooms, was particularly noisy (and because there was an astonishingly loud woman at a table behind us), but that's a mere quibble in the grand scheme of things.
- This was the 3rd time thatMazeltov80Dined on 12/28/2011This was the 3rd time that I ate here (probably the last). The food was just ok - they do not allow any substitutions for any of their meals, which is very odd and annoying. The service that we had was horrible. Any question that we asked our server, she didn't have the answer and made it as if she was doing us a favor to find out. The service we received was poor at best.Special Features:
- Great atmosphere complementsNYCFoodieVIPDined on 12/17/2011Great atmosphere complements the excellent menu choices and delicious flavors of traditional Italian fare. A wonderful neighborhood hang-out that deserves many return visits.Special Features:
- Tourist TrapOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/13/2011I was rather deceived by this place. Although the outside gives the impression of a classic Italian trattoria, this inside of the restaurant could pass for an upscale Olive Garden. The appetizers and focaccia were good, yet the entrees were very disappointing and unimaginative.Special Features:
- Always a pleasure to eat andOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/11/2011Always a pleasure to eat and drink at Accademia di Vino!Special Features:
- The backup plan....Vail77VIPDined on 12/10/2011Third time here but still very good. An underrated establishment but always good for the back up plan in case you cannot get into a finer place. Managed very good, awesome dishes and a vast wine list. You cannot go wrong here.Special Features:
- Food very good, service is uneven.OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 12/10/2011Food was, as usual, very good. Favorite is the robiola pizza - fantastic thin crust. The service this time was a combination of obtrusive, with too-long menu descriptions, and inattentive. Still, overall, a very enjoyable dining experience.Special Features:
- Always quality. Always somethingOpenTable Diner Since 2000Dined on 12/7/2011Always quality. Always something interesting on the menu. Reasonable prices. Works for us.Special Features:
- Accadema Di Vino is a shadowOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/4/2011Accadema Di Vino is a shadow of its former self. The wait staff seems uninterested at best.
- This west side location hasJennifer27VIPDined on 12/2/2011This west side location has recently changed its name and clearly wants to have more a of a bar vibe. The music was excessively loud, the menu and wine list were greatly reduced from when I was last there and the service was spotty at best. I'm hoping the East-side iteration has retained it's ambiance and quality.
- Business lunchBarnstablerwVIPDined on 12/2/2011This was an excellent restaurant for a busuness lunch.Special Features:
- Nice, tasty experience. OnlyNicknameVIPDined on 11/28/2011Nice, tasty experience. Only complaint: pasta portions were smaller than we expected.
- Great pasta, the rest ehOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 11/26/2011The pastas are delicious, whoever is working that station does a great job, as for the other aspects of the meal I can't say the same. The service was unattentive and they were out of many menu items. The starters were just ok, and maybe I'm picky but for the cost just good pasta isnt going to cut it. However, with small improvements I think this restaurant could be really good.
- The service was great! WaiterOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/24/2011The service was great! Waiter recommend a very nice bottle of wine from a very large selection. Price was way too high for food quality. Salad couldn't be simpler, turkey couldn't be dryer. We also ordered fish from the menu($30) the only thing you taste was the marinated sauce. Wouldn't come back for food even if it was a lot cheaper.Special Features:
- A Thanksgiving FindOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 11/24/2011We went to the Accademia Di Vino on Thanksgiving. My husband and I were looking for good Italian food and the rest of our party was interested in a traditional turkey meal. Accademia Di Vino satisfied us all. The ambiance was pleasant and the food was excellent. Our waitress was very accommodating. We would definitely go again.Special Features:
- Not great, not even good.GoodbutnotgoodenoughVIPDined on 11/23/2011Our main course did not come out at the same time. In fact, it took ten minutes for the last entree to arrive. And then it lacked the main ingredient, flavor. It might have helped if the server had checked back at any time. Poor service, poor food prep. I think I will find another spot to eat at.Special Features:
- Service was so bad! Our waiterOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/22/2011Service was so bad! Our waiter was rude and rushed us the whole time. He was not friendly at all! Lookedlike he wanted to just go home!
- DisappointedDemandingMaxVIPDined on 11/11/2011My second visit in a week was disappointing and deserves note. While the restaurant was noticeably busier than during the week (this was a Friday night), the hostess insisted on showing us to a table for 2 in an undesirable location. During our 1.5 hour stay, half the 4 tops remained empty! The Caesar salad was a BIG disappointment. The pasta sauce was weak. The half chicken yummy. Waiter Mario never appeared at table toask about any food. I guess he really didn't care! Oh, grey goose martini prepared to perfection.Special Features:
- Went here for a quiet mealKiwMaxDined on 11/11/2011Went here for a quiet meal for two - big mistake. The place has a great atmosphere but is really quite noisy. Food is pretty nice - and the wine excellent. Service is OK but could be friendlier. However the bar upstairs is totally excellent and recommended for an after dinner session.Special Features:
- Found By Accident - great!DemandingMaxVIPDined on 11/10/2011Enjoyed our early dinner. Wine recommended by server was excellent. Shared a pasta dish and chicken entree as well as entrees. The pizzas are very thin crusted, broiled to a crisp finish. Worth trying, really different. All well prepared, moderate sized portions. The bread was yummy. Clearly a neighborhood restaurant, with a returning crowd.Special Features:
- OK cusine. Pasta trio samplerMancheVIPDined on 11/5/2011OK cusine. Pasta trio sampler was not at correct temp. Wait staff was sloppy and slow.
- Enjoyed lunch very much -BTMCVIPDined on 11/4/2011Enjoyed lunch very much - surprised it wasn't more crowded. Needs wifiSpecial Features:
- Always love the place andLarryfireDined on 10/22/2011Always love the place and Cesca too, but i find the staff a bit too stuffy.Dont like to be talked down to, just be the server, and serve.Special Features:
- Our food was outstanding!MsFussyVIPDined on 10/22/2011Our food was outstanding! We both had the frisee salad with hazelnuts and mint and it was perfect. For my main course I had a pasta dish with pesto, green beans and potatoes- also perfect. My husband had the salmon which he said was excellent. We split a chocolate dessert. All in all a perfect meal. We dined on the early side for NYC and I think that makes a difference. The chef has time to do his job perfectly and the servers can bring the food out immediately. This was the best meal I have had in this restaurant. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:
- Where friends meet wine...OpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 10/17/2011We had a memorable girls-night-out, with very tasty appetizers and great service. Wine list is superb but ambiance is what makes this place really nice for this kind of gathering.Special Features:

We rented a 3/2 house in Houston only to find out once we moved in that we can't use one of the bathrooms because it is broken. We sent a cert. letter about repairs and our landlord told us NOT to call because she doesn't speak English. She told us she could not afford to make repairs and she might when her income tax comes in. We also have plumbing issues and currently can not use out shower or toilets because they back up and flood the house. We are using the neighbors house to bathe and use the restroom and have sewage on our floors. I called and messaged our landlord about it being an emergency and she said she could afford to fix it. Doesn't this make the house uninhabitable and she is breaking the lease. How do we legally break our lease, so we get a lawyer or go to court?
Texas Property Code § 92.052 LandLord Duty to Repair and Remedy
A landlord shall make a diligent effort to repair or remedy a condition if:
(1) there is notice to the person to whom or to the place where rent is normally paid;
(2) the rent is not delinquent; and
(3) the condition:
(A) materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant;
(1) terminate the lease;
(2) have the condition repaired or remedied according to § 92.0561;
(3) deduct from rent, without judicial action, the cost of the repair or remedy; and
(4) obtain judicial remedies according to § 92.0563.
(a) If the landlord FAILS TO MAKE REPAIRS THAT AFFECT THE TENAN TS HEALTH OR SAFTY the tenant may have the condition repaired or remedied and may deduct the cost from a subsequent rent payment as provided in this section.
(b) The tenant's deduction may not exceed greater of one month's rent or $ 500, if the tenant's rent is subsidized rent shall mean the fair market rent determined by the governmental agency or a reasonable amount of rent under the circumstances.
(c) Repairs and deductions under this section may be made as often as necessary so long as the total in any one month does not exceed greater of one month's rent or $ 500.
(1) pro rata refund of rent from the date of termination or move out, whichever is later;
(2) deduction of security deposit from rent without necessity of lawsuit or obtain a refund of the tenant's security deposit according to law; and
(3) not entitled to the other repair and deduct remedies under § 92.0561 or the judicial remedies under § 92.0563(a) (1) and (2).
(g) Lease must contain language in underlined or bold print that informs the tenant of the remedies available under this section and Section 92.0561.
See the Texas Property Code Section 92.056, (available at http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/), for all the steps the tenant must take to preserve their rights if they paln to do the repais and deduct the money from the rent.
Since attorney's fees are recoverable you should beable to have a lawyer help you with this matter.
Generally, if you notify the landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested, about an issue in the rental property that is a threat to your health or safety, the landlord has a week from when they receive your letter (or notice of your letter) to fix the problem. If the landlord does not fix the problem, you may have the right to terminate your lease, sue the landlord for $500 plus one month's rent (plus actual damages, court costs and attorney's fees), and/or obtain a court order requiring the landlord to fix the problem. You may want to consult with an attorney to determine if you have taken all the steps necessary to legally terminate your lease. Generally, if you are entitled to terminate your lease, you should give the landlord written notice (preferably by certified mail, return receipt requested) that you are legally terminating the lease due to the landlord's failure to make necessary repairs within a reasonable amount of time.

5 ways to repair your credit scores
Paying off your card balance every month is fine, but there are other steps you can take to get a higher credit rating.
When it comes to cultivating a credit score, you've probably got the good-citizen routine down cold: You pay on time, try to wipe out the entire balance every month and never close too many accounts at once.
Beyond the basics, though, many consumers are still in the dark about what makes their credit scores go up and down.
"We have had so many people over the years who don't understand what goes into a credit score," says Dave Jones, the president of the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies. "They just live with the old wives' tales."
Consumers understand that the credit utilization ratio -- the total amount of revolving credit someone uses in a month, compared with the amount of available credit the person has -- is a major factor in calculating a score.
But did you know that it's often calculated from the total on the statement date, not the due date? So even if you pay balances in full every month, a card issuer may report a balance. And that can hurt your credit scores.
Here are five ways you can use that bit of knowledge, along with some other expert know-how, to boost your credit ratings:
Pay bills before the statement date
Typically, the balance as of your last statement date is the balance that will be reported to the credit bureaus, says Barry Paperno, a consumer operations manager with myFICO.com, the consumer division of Fair Isaac, the company that created the FICO score. So if you pay most of the bill before the statement date, you can lower your utilization rate. And that can equal higher credit scores.
"How much you owe is 30% of your score, and the utilization ratio is a large part of that," says Paperno.
If you charge a balance every month but pay it off and can't understand why your scores aren't higher, it could be that your utilization ratio is what's depressing your scores, he says.
This might not work with every card. Some lenders don't use the balance on your statement date when they report to the credit bureaus. Instead, they select another day and report the card balance on that date instead.
Paperno's advice: Call your lender to ask when the balance gets reported.
Make multiple payments
Another way to lower the balance on your statement date is to make periodic payments throughout the month.
If you use a credit card throughout the week for everyday expenses and pay it off every Friday, you'll cut the amount of credit you're using at any one time. Check with your card issuer to learn how it handles multiple monthly payments.
"Basically, the lower the balance on your credit report, the better," Paperno says.
What you need to know: Your card company could place a limit on the number of times you can pay in a month, he says. All card companies will take two or three payments per month, but if you are paying weekly or more often, you should make sure the company is set up to handle such frequent payments.
We read all the time where people don't use credit responsibly and end up defaulting or filing bankruptcy to clear their screw ups. I have always tried to pay my bills on time but that is not good in the long run either. When someone tells me I have a low credit score because I don't use credit enough I chuckle. I use credit for the tings i can't save for before I need it. I don't borrow for clothes and vacations just my needs. Like my home or a car. My local banker knows me and use to loan me all the cash I needed on short term notes when I ask. He knows i am good for it. Now he can't do it because the board has to approve any loans over a few thousand. So I don't even use short term notes anymore.
If you live within your means the banking industry doesn't want anything to do with you.
I sometimes wonder where MSN gets thier financial information. In this particular article it advised for one to make multiple payments to your credit card company over the course of the month. As I have posted here before and will post again, DO NOT DO THIS. Not only this happend to me, but many others that I know of. I thought I was being smart to make multiple payment since I use my card for everything becuase I work overseas. I was tired of my credit score being low because I had high balances at the end of the month. It did not matter, nor does is still, that I pay my bill in full every month. So I started paying my bill twice a month. Well the second month I did this there was a hold put on my credit card. I was told by the credit card company that there are laws that force credit card companies to hold the accounts of people who do this because it is a way of laundering money. I fought and fought with them over this. They put a 30 day hold for two months in a row. They would not give any further information other than what I told you. I have relatives and friends that have had the same thing happen, even with different credit card companies. I made request in writing and was told that any month that I make a double payment I am at risk for a hold being put on my account.
They will be happy to credit the money to the account, but you will not be able to use your card. I looked into this as I thought it was BS. There are requlations that a bank CAN enforce for many large payments being made in a month.
@Dean Anderson, Dean, your best bet would be to get a "secured" credit card. Open a savings account at a credit union and then ask for a credit card secured by the account. That way there is no risk to you or to the financial institution. Then pay a bill (cell phone or utility) every month with the credit card and pay it off each month. This will help your credit score and give you a more "rounded" credit portfolio.
Credit may as well be a joke, but we all need it some time in our lives. here's a trick you can use if you want a higher score..... just like the lie's they tell by adding fees and charges, you can do the same. create paper income, when you fill out for credit, on the app. they look at your income, than look at what you pay out. if you don't make anough you can't get more credit or your score stays low, so add more income, the more your income increse the higher your score increse. business of credit is just that a family own business, not gov. so it won't hurt to lie a little, do unto those as they do unto you!
Get reed of credit scores pay your bills if you don't have the cash don't get it . THE US HAS A 400 CREDIT SCORES and they can create jobs and get homes and cars !WE HAVE A BAD SCORES WE CANT EVEN GET A JOB BECAUSE OF ARE SCORE .WE NEED TO STOP CREDIT REPORTS .IF YOUR A KILLER MURDER OR SEX OFFENDER YOUR OK

Life and career[edit]
Zia was born in New Jersey to first generation immigrants from Shanghai. She entered Princeton University in the early 1970s and was a member of its first graduating class of women. As a student, Zia was among the founders of the Asian American Students Association. She was also a vocal anti-war activist, voicing her Opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, and a firm believer in feminism.
She entered medical school in 1974, but quit in 1976. She moved to Detroit, Michigan. She went to work as a construction laborer, an autoworker and a community organizer, after which she discovered her life's work as a journalist and writer.

Zia has received numerous journalism awards for her ground-breaking stories; her investigation of date rape at the University of Michigan led to campus demonstrations and an overhaul of its policies, while her research on women who join neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations provoked new thinking on the relationship between race and gender violence in hate crimes.
Zia has been outspoken on issues ranging from civil rights and peace to women's rights and countering hate violence and homophobia. In 1997, she testified before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on the racial impact of the news media. She traveled to Beijing in 1995 to the United Nations Fourth World Congress on Women as part of a journalists of color delegation.

Why This Company Will Lead in Mobile Payments
Jordan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The markets can punish even the best of companies.
Last week eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) reported earnings that missed on the top and bottom line. Net income came in at $822 million for the quarter, while revenue missed at just under $3.9 billion. Earlier this year, eBay laid out aggressive forecasts, seeking to enable some $300 billion in online commerce by 2015.
The auction and payment company noted that its full year earnings might fall toward the bottom of its EPS range of $2.21-$2.26 per share, sending shares down over 7%.
Running the numbers
The Fool believes stocks are pieces of living, breathing businesses. Naturally, Foolish investors are most interested in the next decade, not just one quarter.
So let's take a look at how eBay performed in the second quarter and reconcile it with long-term trends. eBay revealed that it:
- Grew commerce volume 21% - Total enabled commerce volume came in at $51 billion. This includes all of eBay's businesses – PayPal, Marketplaces, and eBay Enterprise (formerly known as GSI), an outsourcing business.
- Grew revenue 14% - Total revenue was up 14%, while free cash flow rose 12% year-over-year to $658 million.
- Added 4.7 million PayPal users – Its payments business is its fastest growing segment, adding 4.7 million users on the quarter for 17% year over year growth.
Why eBay's miss is forgivable
Setting high standards can lead to defeat when you fail to live up to perfection. However, there is ample reason to suggest that even if eBay cannot meet its $300 billion goal, it can deliver stellar long-term returns for investors.
Here are the metrics investors should watch carefully:
- Transaction revenue – PayPal is immensely profitable for eBay. In the second quarter the company generated transaction revenue of $1.475 billion for growth of 21% over the year ago period. The company has several initiatives to grow total payment processing revenue. It recently partnered with Outerwall (NASDAQ: OUTR) to allow customers to deposit and withdraw cash from their PayPal account at its Coinstar kiosks. The partnership is mutually beneficial as it drives traffic to Coinstar kiosks and makes PayPal just as useful as any other savings account. Outerwall is a value stock worthy of investor attention, as it rolls out new innovative kiosks to drive future growth.
- Marketplace volume – eBay's online Marketplaces are red hot. The company reported the addition of 3.6 million new active users around the globe for annual growth of 14%. Its core US and International Non-Vehicles segments produced year over year growth of 13% combined. American growth was 16% while international gross merchandise volume rose 11% year over year. One point of weakness is the company's vehicles business – eBay Motors – which saw 11% year-over-year declines in gross merchandise volume. The segment is a laggard in part because of high used car values and rapidly-rising new car sales. At $1.8 billion in sales this quarter, eBay motors is dwarfed by the performance of its non-vehicle segments, which processed sales of $18.29 billion. A change to its fee structure has not adversely affected volumes or revenue, with revenue growing in-line with merchandise volume.
Why eBay is an emerging leader
eBay's diversified businesses are what make it one of the best plays in e-commerce. The company does not hold inventory; its key businesses (Marketplaces and Payments) can grow without significant investments, and it effectively earns a royalty on each dollar moved through eBay.com and PayPal.
The company has a formidable moat that protects itself from the competition, and it's making in-roads to take down leaders like American Express (NYSE: AXP) and MasterCard (NYSE: MA) in offline transaction volume. A partnership with Coinstar gives its customers an "ATM" through which they can turn PayPal balances into cash. Meanwhile, eBay is investing to take share of offline payment volume.
The company reports that it now has over 2,000 cafes, restaurants, cinemas, and even taxi cabs accepting mobile payments via PayPal in Australia and the UK. CFO Robert Swan says it's all about removing customer "pain points," like waiting for a bill at a restaurant or in line at a local café. If PayPal can reduce transaction times for consumers and businesses alike, it can steal share of offline payment volumes traditionally handled by MasterCard and American Express, which own their own payment networks, but offer little in the way of an online payment platform like PayPal.
Discover (NYSE: DFS) intelligently decided to partner with PayPal in an agreement that could eventually bring PayPal payments to more than 7 million offline retailers. Discover earns a network fee on each transaction, bolstering profits from its network and insulating itself from the risk and capital expenditures necessary to build out its own mobile payments platform.
Of all the companies interested in mobile and online payments, eBay has the clear lead. There's little reason to believe double-digit top-line growth will end any time soon, and at 17 times forward earnings, investors are getting a bargain bin price on a company with market leadership.
I'm adding a 5-year long on eBay on CAPS. While I don't know what the next quarter will bring, I'm confident in the long-term potential of PayPal to drive high-margin business at double-digit annual growth.

Arch Di Peppe reviews "Ambrose Bierce: The Devil's Dictionary, Tales, and Memoirs"
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
A taste for the macabre always "haunted" Bierce's writing. The section in this book of his ghost stories will satisfy the reader. Most are set in the post-Civil War West, where hard men and women fall victim to eerie circumstances. There is just enough truth to carry the reader through the stories, and the characters who deserve it get their just rewards--both good and bad.
Bierce was without equal in his short-story writing about the Civil War--the only one working in that genre who was an actual combat soldier of the period. While Stephen Crane might be remembered for "The Red Badge of Courage," he wasn't even born until 1871, six years after the war ended. Bierce had the rare quality of not only writing tight description and believable dialog, but also of taking you inside the minds of his characters. Both a physical and psychological level exist in these stories. Don't try to hurry through his work. Bierce said that every word should stand for four. The reader cannot anticipate his stories' twists and turns.
Bierce's talent was forged from experience. He was there at Shiloh. He was there at Chickamauga, at Missionary Ridge, at Franklin, and he received a serious head wound at Kennesaw Mountain that left him with excruciating headaches for the rest of his life. As was the case with other combat writers who followed him, post-traumatic stress syndrome etched his words into the consciousness of a generation and beyond. His legacy lives in Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and in Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five."
The constant threat of violent death, the useless slaughter of close friends and innocents, absolute terror, and the insanity, incompetence, and callousness of leaders always torment him. He carries on anyway. The stories are at once poignant, jarring, sadly funny, and insightful. Finally, we are left with one important question: How can we keep doing this to every generation for millennia after millennia?
Bierce was the second man in his town to volunteer for the Ninth Indiana. He left a patriot. He returned something else entirely. While he scorned those who avoided service, he had no great love for government. He carried tremendous respect for the men with whom he stood shoulder to shoulder for almost the entire war. At the end, he was a changed man. His journalistic colleagues in San Francisco knew him as "Bitter Bierce"; his own motto was "Nothing Matters."
If the best art comes from the most pain, then Bierce earned his place among the great writers of America. His impact permeates our culture, whether we are able to attach his name to it or not.

"I don't know where it's going to lead, but I never thought at this level I'm going to be able to meet filmmakers and be in situations where they're that gracious and insightful and so inclusive. And that's a franchise that I'm working on right now, but again, if I'm going to be kind of the gatekeeper to it, I want to make sure that I can hopefully build it up the right way - and so far that's been the most fun. Just to be able to take James Cameron's brain and for him to be so open even though he has no stakes in it, just as a human being, that's something that I will always remember as a part of my journey as a filmmaker."
No production date has been set.
Terminator Genisys comes to theaters July 1st, 2015 and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Matt Smith, J.K. Simmons, Douglas Smith, Dayo Okeniyi. The film is directed by Alan Taylor.

Chapter X:
General Howard went to bed early on the evening of June 16. About 10 o'clock, however, he awoke with a start. He could hear loud talking emanating from the front porch of his quarters and went out to investigate. Two Indian women sat on horses, and the larger of the two was the source of the noise. She shouted in her native tongue and, since Howard did not speak the language, he ordered a half-breed to interpret for him. The woman turned out to be the wife of Jonah Hayes, one of the agency Nez Perce who had gone with Perry. Mrs. Hayes told Howard that the woman with her had just come from the Indian village with bad news. Perry and all his men, including Jonah and the rest of the scouts, had been killed by the hostiles. The Indians, she said, had laid a trap for the cavalrymen, and they had walked right into it. [1]
Howard was not disturbed by the report, however. He had already received a message from Grangeville, and he knew that the command had reached the settlement in safety that afternoon. But he did prepare a letter for Perry the next morning in which he cautioned the officer to beware of traps and told him that he might expect reinforcements soon. Howard expected other troops to reach Fort Lapwai in another day.
On the afternoon of June 17, Howard received the stunning news of Perry's defeat. Some of the Indian scouts were the first to return to Fort Lapwai with the story. The first cavalrymen to arrive were Cpl. Charles Fuller and Pvt. John White of Company F, who had apparently been among those who had bolted during the early stages of the fight. [2] When they had not appeared at Grangeville after the battle, Perry had given them up for lost. The knowledge of the men was incomplete, and they feared that Perry and the rest of their comrades had been wiped out and that the Nez Perce might be on their way to attack the post.
Acting upon their fears, Howard quickly designated his quarters as a rallying point and had it barricaded with cord wood. [3] It was not until the following day that Howard learned of the full extent of the disaster. Joe Rabusco came riding in with Perry's report. Before he had retired on the evening of June 17, Perry had written:
Howard laid the letter aside and went to call on Delia Theller. He endeavored to control himself and break the news gently, but before he could speak Delia read the message in his face. "Oh, my husband!" she cried. After the first shock of the realization of the death of her husband had passed, the widow regressed into a twilight world of false hopes. She maintained a belief that Theller would eventually be found asleep or that he would be rescued from captivity. She kept the lieutenant's uniform neatly pressed in anticipation of his return. [5]
As the news of the defeat spread over the countryside, ranchers, townsfolk, missionaries, agency employees, and friendly Indians flocked to Fort Lapwai for protection. Even the residents of far-distant Kamiah, including the lady-missionary Miss Kate McBeth, moved to the post under the guardianship of James Lawyer and Black Eagle, a nephew of Chief Joseph. [6]
Panic followed panic as the whites waited for the Nez Perce to sweep down on them. On one occasion, when two Indians rode rapidly toward the post, someone cried out that the hostiles were coming. The result was chaos. Officers scrambled to a nearby hill top, enlisted men hurriedly barricaded the doors and windows of the most defensible buildings, women clutched rifles they did not know how to use, and children flitted hither and thither among them. It turned out that the Indians were friendly. They were simply trying to escape from some white men who had fired on them in an attempt to get their firearms.
By June 21, eight companies had arrived from various western outposts and were ready to move to the scene of the outbreak. Col. Alfred Sully of the Twenty-first Infantry answered a call to take charge of the defense of the Lewiston area, while Howard prepared to lead the expedition against the hostiles. On June 22, Howard marched out of Fort Lapwai with 227 regulars, 20 civilian volunteers from Walla Walla, and a large number of packers and guides. The military force consisted of Companies E and L of the First Cavalry, Companies B, D, E, H, and I of the Twenty-first Infantry, and Company E of the Fourth Artillery. Two Gatling guns and a mountain howitzer served for armament. More troops were on the way and would join the force later. [7]
The expedition left Fort Lapwai about noon and traveled 24 miles before going into camp at Junction Trail. Reveille sounded at 4:30 the next morning, and by 1:30 the command had reached Cottonwood House, a distance of 43 miles from Fort Lapwai. Howard decided to remain in camp in order to gather intelligence concerning the whereabouts of the nontreaty bands. The next day, June 24, Perry arrived from Grangeville to deliver his verbal report. As they talked, Perry conveyed his dissatisfaction with Trimble's performance to Howard. Perry did not believe, however, that the officer's conduct called for disciplinary action. While Trimble's conduct was not above reproach, it had not been vital in determining the outcome of the battle. In Perry's mind the battle had been lost when the left of the line had disintegrated. [8]
Howard decided to send Trimble and Company H to the relief of the settlers at Slate Creek. He needed to protect the settlement in the event that he had to drive the Indians in that direction, and he needed a cover for his left flank as he moved toward the hostiles. Company H had been strengthened on June 23 with the arrival of 2d Lt. Thomas T. Knox and 10 men some of whom had been with him on detached service at Fort Walla Walla and some of whom were apparently recruits. In all there were about 30 well-armed men. Because the Nez Perce stood between them and Slate Creek, the detachment had to circle around the Indians by a little-used and difficult trail. Trimble planned to follow an old mining trail to Florence and then double back to the northeast to reach the settlement. About 6 o'clock in the morning on June 25, Company H rode out of camp. [9]
At the same time, Howard resumed his march. He took the cavalry and rode into Grangeville and sent the infantry ahead to wait for him at Johnson's ranch. After spending about an hour in the little hamlet gathering information and examining supplies that J. W. Crooks made available to the expedition, Howard set out for Mount Idaho.
In the days preceding Howard's arrival, a number of the missing had reached the safety of the settlement. Patrick Brice and Maggie Manuel had been among the first. George Popham had arrived a day later. He had waited until he had seen the hostiles burn the Manuel house before attempting to make his way to Camas Prairie. Isabella Benedict had been rescued on Monday by Edward Robie. After it had been reported that Isabella had been left behind in the retreat, Robie had gone out alone to find the woman whom he had long admired. His search had been rewarded near Johnson's ranch. William George, who had left Mason and Osborn on the night of June 13, had finally reached Mount Idaho. H. C. Brown, his sister, and her husband had been found near Cottonwood House. Isabella Benedict had reported that George Woodward and Peter Bertrand had been killed at the Baker ranch, but Woodward walked into Mount Idaho shortly after Howard arrived. [10]
After visiting the fort erected near Mount Idaho in company with H. E. Croasdaile, Howard went to Brown's Hotel to address the principal citizens of the community. In a short speech, he promised them safety and vengeance:
Following the talk, Howard visited the wounded. They were now under the care of Dr. John Morris, the resident physician who had been in Portland on a trip when news of the outbreak reached him. [12] Howard learned that Lew Day was dead. Mr. Morris had amputated the scout's leg in an effort to save his life, but the shock had been too much for him. He had been buried in the Masonic cemetery. Joe Moore was still alive but in critical condition. Mrs. Norton and Mrs. Chamberlin were there and the Chamberlin girl. Dr. Morris had been a busy man since his arrival. Theodore Swarts and Herman Faxon had been badly wounded in the White Bird fight and required continual care. George Shearer had received a shoulder wound, but it was slight and easily treated. William George, H. C. Brown, Albert Benson, and Maggie Manuel were also on his list of patients, and all were recovering rapidly. [13]
After lunching at Rudolph's with the Croasdailes and some others, Howard left Mount Idaho with the cavalry to join the infantry at Johnson's ranch. At the camp, Howard received a message that his reinforcements were on the way and would reach him in a couple of days.
After Trimble and his men reached Florence late on June 25, they halted momentarily to gather the latest information and then covered 12 more miles before stopping for a quick bite to eat. After supper, they resumed their journey. The trail at this point ascended the mountains. It was very steep, and near the summit the snow lay deep. The men traveled along the mountain top for some distance and then gradually descended toward the Salmon River. It was a clear, moonlit night, and the view was almost worth the effort. "It would take a more eloquent pen than mine," wrote Sergeant McCarthy, "to portray the beautiful scenery It was our privilege to witness." [14]
Trimble reached his destination about 2:30 a.m. on the morning of June 26. The settlers welcomed them heartily, and after some confusion, the men obtained shelter for themselves and corrals for their animals. The defenses erected by the settlers impressed the soldiers. William Wilson had done his work well.
On June 26, the cavalrymen rested and allowed their horses to shake the fatigue of the hard ride. The next morning, Trimble made a reconnaissance in the direction of White Bird Creek. Many of the settlers trailed after the scouting party and collected stray stock. Some of them found ponies belonging to the Nez Perce, which they confiscated. Most of the women and children ventured forth--some of them for the first time in a week. In fact, the cavalrymen saw everyone except Helen Walsh and Elizabeth Osborn. Overcome with shame, the women remained in their quarters. [15] Although the general feeling was one of relief and even gaiety, there was an undercurrent of uneasiness and uncertainty. The Nez Perce were still somewhere in the vicinity. Although they had been told that Howard was in the field, there had been no reports of his movements.
At 6:30 on the morning of June 26, Howard broke camp and led his men toward White Bird Canyon. His purpose in going there was twofold. First, the maneuver was for the purpose of obtaining information. He hoped to determine the location of the hostiles. He did not, however, wish to engage them; only after he had been properly reinforced would he be willing to venture an attack. Perry's defeat had given him a healthy respect for his foe. His other reason concerned a matter of honor. The dead had to be buried; they had been almost nine days in the sun.
Howard tapped the Walla Walla volunteers for the scouting mission. With Ad Chapman as their guide, the citizens moved along the top of the west wall of the canyon, retracing in part the route taken by Perry in the retreat. Eventually they reached a vantage point that permitted them a good view of the Salmon River. Looking down the canyon, they saw the Nez Perce on distant hills on the opposite side of the stream.
In the meantime, Howard made arrangements to recover the dead. He left the artillery and a company of cavalry on White Bird Hill to cover his advance and then ordered the rest of his command to descend to the site of the encounter. Capt. Marcus Miller led the advance guard, and a company of cavalry under Capt. Henry Winters followed close behind. [16] Perry organized the search for the bodies.
The men moved cautiously over the valley floor. They never forgot what they saw. Here and there were decaying bodies, blackened by sun and swollen into unrecognizable shapes. The smell of putrefying flesh permeated the air. The men who had been detailed as the burial party dug shallow graves with bayonets. The bodies were unmanageable. The ripe flesh had lost its tensility; a pull on an arm disengaged it from its torso. After some grisly experimentation, the men discovered that the best way to manipulate a corpse was to roll it into a hole dug as close to it as possible. The men had to seek relief from the stench as the work progressed. Occasionally a man dropped his entrenchment tool and sped for fresher air and then returned to renew the task. [17]
Many of the bodies had been stripped of outer clothing, but some had not been touched. There were no arms found on the field. Other hands held them now. To some of the men, it looked as if some of the cavalrymen had been scalped, but the Nez Perce later denied mutilation. One officer later remarked that although there was an appearance of scalping in some cases, it had been caused by decay rather than by violent ripping or tearing of the skin. [18]
The men were ever on the lookout for the return of the enemy, and there were a few anxious moments. As they proceeded down the canyon, they discovered the body of the trooper in the hawthorn tree. From a distance it appeared so life-like that it was mistaken for an Indian and approached with weapons cocked. The corpse was identified as Sgt. Patrick Gunn. One man remembered that the gray-haired veteran had been badly wounded in the retreat, and although a horse had been brought for him, he had been unable to mount it. The body had been ripped and torn by bullets, and there were other indications that the sergeant had been long in dying. [19]
Later in the day, while the men were busy at their work, the sky darkened as a great cloud moved over them. Suddenly two or three sheets of flame shot from the cloud and struck one of the buttes. The roar of the thunder sounded like a series of rifle volleys. The men dropped to their knees and prepared for the attack they believed was coming, but they soon realized that it was only thunder. To one soldier in retrospect, "It seemed like the burial volley for the honorable dead." [20]
The burial party interred 18 men before rain forced them to abandon their work. The graves were shallow and the bodies barely covered with earth. Stones stacked on top of the burials promised to keep coyotes from disturbing the graves Some of the men drove stakes into the ground at the head of the trenches and hung the hats of the deceased upon them. But there were several bodies that the men did not have time to bury. These were covered with blankets and left for another day. They were not able to find the body of Lieutenant Theller. [21]
While the dead found a resting place, some of the command rode all the way down the canyon to White Bird Creek. In an outhouse not far from the charred remains of the Manuel house, they discovered its proprietor. Jack Manuel possessed a will to live. For 13 days he had endured suffering and privation that would have defeated most men. Shot through both hips, his hands were his only means of propulsion. He had lain in the brush for days before dragging himself to the shed. With the aid of a hunting knife, Manuel had been able to extract the four-inch barb from his neck, and he had made a compress for the wound out of horseradish leaves. Haws and other wild berries had been his only fare, and he had reached the point in starvation where hunger no longer gnawed at his belly. The men fashioned a litter from a broken buggy and carried him back to the camp. The next day, they sent him back to Mount Idaho. In time he would regain the power to walk and work, but he would never be the same. [22]
Ad Chapman examined what was left of the ranch house to see if he could find a trace of the remains of Jennet Manuel and her son. He found some bones in the embers, but they appeared to be of animal rather than of human origin. [23]
On the morning of June 27, the troops returned to the canyon, marched down White Bird Creek to its mouth, and continued up the Salmon River a mile or two to establish another camp, which Howard named after Theller. Companies A, D, G, and M of the Fourth Artillery and Company C of the Twenty-first Infantry united with the command before the day's end. Apparently a volunteer unit from Dayton accompanied the reinforcements. The men continued to search for the dead, but rain made the task a difficult one. Finally Lt. Sevier M. Rains located the bodies of Edward Theller and the seven men who died with him in the dead-end ravine. [25] A bullet in the brain caused the death of the officer. Many empty cartridge cases lay on the ground near the corpses in mute testimony to the length of their stand. The men buried the dead where they found them and returned to Camp Theller. [26]
On June 29, Howard received some intelligence that Looking Glass and the Alpowai, who were camped on the Clearwater just above Kooskia, were showing evidence of hostility. Distrusting the professed neutrality of the band Howard sent Capt. Stephen Whipple with two companies of cavalry to arrest the chief and contain his followers, while he made ready to cross the Salmon River and pursue Joseph, White Bird, and Sound. [27] He also sent Perry and Company F back to Fort Lapwai with the pack train for more supplies. Whipple attacked the Indian camp on July 1, but only succeeded in killing one warrior and wounding two. The most important result of the conflict was that the Alpowai joined the other bands and made the task of the army that much more difficult. [28]
At the same time that Whipple attacked Looking Glass, Howard crossed the Salmon in pursuit of his foe. High water made the crossing perilous and the work occupied most of the day. On July 2 Trimble and Company H crossed the stream and joined Howard on the left bank, and all began the ascent to the top of the Salmon River Mountains. In the meantime, the Nez Perce recrossed the Salmon at Craig's Ferry and headed back toward Camas Prairie. On July 5, Howard reached the place where the Indians had crossed but failed in an attempt to duplicate the feat. Returning to the mouth of White Bird Creek, Howard and his men were successful in crossing the river, and on July 8, the general rode into Grangeville with an advance party.
After the attack on Looking Glass's camp, Whipple had taken a position near Cottonwood House. On July 3, he sent two civilians, William Foster and Charles Blewett, in the direction of Craig's Ferry on a scouting mission. The men encountered a group of Nez Perce warriors who preceded the main body of the nontreaty force. Blewett was shot, but Foster made it back to Cottonwood. Whipple immediately sent Lieutenant Rains, Foster, and 10 men to determine the strength of the force and to aid Blewett if he was still alive. Rains met a war party led by Five Wounds, Rainbow, and Two Moons. In a desperate fight, the Nez Perce wiped them out.
Perry returned to Cottonwood on the afternoon of July 4 and assumed command of the troops. Fearing an attack, Perry and Whipple improved their defenses. The following afternoon, 17 volunteers from Mount Idaho, led by O. B. Randall, attempted to reach Cottonwood House, but the Nez Perce pinned them down about one-and-one-half miles west of their destination. Perry refused to leave his position to aid the men. Although his decision was the best one in view of the superiority of the Nez Perce force, he earned the lasting enmity of the volunteers. After about 25 minutes had elapsed and the firing had decreased, George Shearer, who was with Perry, rode out to join the Randall party. Shortly afterwards, Perry dispatched Whipple and 2nd Lt. Edwin A Shelton with about 42 men to bring in the volunteers. They were successful in their mission, since most of the Nez Perce had withdrawn. Two of the volunteers were dead and three wounded, one of them mortally.
Perry and Whipple joined Howard as he moved eastward after the Nez Perce. By the evening of July 10, Howard had his forces assembled at Walls, four miles beyond Jackson's Bridge on the east side of the Clearwater. The Nez Perce camp stood just above the juncture of the south and middle forks of the river, about five miles north. Howard engaged the Indians in battle the following day, and it was not until the afternoon that the army forced the Nez Perce to withdraw across the stream. The cavalry under Perry hesitated in crossing the river, and the delay enabled the nontreaty band to escape. They moved downstream and encamped on a bluff beyond the mouth of Cottonwood Creek, near present-day Kamiah. Howard did not pursue them immediately.
Following the Clearwater Battle, Hahtalekin and the Palouse united with the other nontreaty bands. According to Indian sources, the five bands numbered about 600, among whom were 191 fighting men. With Howard moving after them at a leisurely pace, the Nez Perce had little difficulty in keeping ahead of their pursuers. On July 14 they reached Weippe meadows. In council the chief decided to cross the Lolo Trail and find refuge in the land of the Crow in Montana, and on July 16 they began their journey.
During the next three months, military forces continued to pursue the Nez Perce across the Bitter Root Mountains and across Montana. Ten separate United States commands engaged them in fighting at one stage or another, but the Nez Perce fought them to a standstill in four major battles and a number of skirmishes. They continued to resist until they were surrounded by Col. Nelson A. Miles and his men, 42 miles south of the Canadian border. On October 5, after some made good their escape into Canada, about 418 Nez Perce submitted to the will of the military, and what General Sherman called "one of the most extraordinary Indian wars of which there is any record" came to an end. [29] Military records show that the war had cost the United States Army $931,329.02 beyond normal expenses. One hundred twenty-seven soldiers and approximately 50 civilians had been killed, and the cream of Nez Perce manhood was gone. About 151 Nez Perce men, women, and children died in the campaign and about 88 of them were wounded.
Companies F and H of the First Cavalry were not there to see the end. Both of them remained in Idaho, while Howard and the rest of his men pushed after the fugitives. It was Miles who actually captured the Nez Perce, and he took his prisoners to Fort Keogh. In November General Sherman ordered them to Fort Leavenworth, and in July, 1878, the Government exiled them on the Quapaw reserve in Indian Territory.
After the scene of battle shifted to the ruggedness of Montana, quietness returned to northern Idaho. Life went on much as it had before, except that death held a larger place in the minds of many. The realization of the death of Edward Theller had been slow in coming to Delia, but it had come, and, consequently, the news that the lieutenant had been found and buried came as a relief to the widow. [30]
Theller had carried some mementos on his person that Delia wished to have, but they had not been found at the time the body had been buried. Delia believed that the Nez Perce had taken the articles with them. In the hopes of eventually recovering some of them, she placed an advertisement in the newspapers:
It was Delia's wish that her husband's remains be transported to San Francisco for reburial, and General Howard asked that it be done. The request went through channels to the Secretary of War, who granted permission for the reinterment at government expense. [32]
Early in December, a Mr. Pickett of Walla Walla, apparently the contracting undertaker, made the journey to the battle field to disinter the body. Soldiers from Fort Lapwai provided the labor. Pickett found the grave without difficulty.
Theller's feet lay uncovered, but the rest of the body had not been disturbed. The flesh had nearly rotted away from the bones, leaving the skeleton enveloped in loose clothing. In the pocket of the Lieutenant's uniform, Pickett found the missing watch. It had stopped at 9 o'clock. Soldiers placed the remains in a casket and returned to Fort Lapwai. [33]
The Oregon Steam Navigation Company volunteered to transport the remains without cost to an appropriate railhead. Howard detailed 1st Lt. Melville Wilkinson, his aide-de-camp, to accompany the body to San Francisco. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock on January 3, 1878. The Reverend Dr. Beers conducted the service, held in the Trinity Episcopal Church. Dr. Beers characterized Theller as a faithful, brave soldier, who died as a soldier wanted to die--in the execution of his duty. The church choir sang the funeral anthem "Lord, Let Me Know Mine End," and the hymn "Hark from the Tombs." After the ceremony attendants carried the casket to the hearse and escorted it to Laurel Hill Cemetery, where interment followed. Officers of the First Cavalry, the Fourth Artillery, and the Twelfth Infantry acted as pallbearers. Company F and the regimental band of the Twelfth Infantry were in attendance, and Maj. Gen. Irvin McDowell, commander of the Division of the Pacific, conveyed the sympathy of the army to the widow. [34]
General Howard and his men had been in a hurry when they buried the dead at White Bird Battlefield. In fact, some of the bodies had not been buried at all but shrouded in blankets. Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that J. W. Poe found the bones of many cavalrymen bleaching in the sun and other signs of the furtive work of scavengers in abundance, when he visited the battleground late in July of 1877. "It is a shame," he wrote in a letter to the editor of the Lewiston Teller, that our government should give to her heroic dead no better burial than this." [35]
About two months after Poe wrote his letter, a detachment of First Cavalry returned to White Bird and reburied the remains in deeper graves. It was not until December, 1879, that the Assistant Adjutant General of the Department of the Columbia issued the order that eventually brought the remains to Fort Lapwai. Because of the cold weather, the work was delayed until spring of the following year. Late in May, the commanding officer of Fort Lapwai visited the site in company with Theodore Swarts, who now homesteaded at the north end of the canyon, not far from the place where Perry and his men had ascended the west wall during the retreat. The former volunteer helped to locate the scattered graves. A detail collected the bones and put them in two big boxes. Wagons carried the containers back to Fort Lapwai, where they were placed in a single grave. [36]

Gray Paint to Go with Yellow Walls?
Good Questions
Q: When I moved into my apartment, my landlord had a Panera restaurant color scheme going on - red walls in the dining area and tan/yellow-brown walls in the living room. I'm into grays right now so I painted over the red walls with a medium gray color (Behr's Porpoise, tweaked) thinking it would go well with the yellowish wall. While the result is not that bad, I think there's a better shade of gray for the space.
Can anyone recommend a gray paint that would also go well with the yellow-brown walls in the living area. Better yet, is there a way I can make the current color work by accessorizing differently since the dining area is still pretty bare. Or is gray really not the best choice of color here?

I'd rather see the yellow/gold go.
I think they're OK together, but they're both neutrals (at least that's how they read on my screen...more tan than yellow) and there's no color and nothing to focus on in the shot you have here. I would add something big and interesting with some color on the wall behind the dining room table.
I used Behr "silver tradition" and "pollen grain" in my dining room and I'm very happy with it. Three walls are the light grey and one accent wall of the yellow.
On my screen, the gray reads too cool. Have you thought about going with a warmer gray. This was the problem I had with my living room, trying to find a warm gray...ended up going with Behr Premium in Elephant Skin. I think a color like that would work with a gold or yellow paint in an opposite room, maybe.
Adding a color to existing colors is tough - we recently did that for out kitchen. Here are useful tools:
1. Check out the Farrow & Ball Paints website - http://www.farrow-ball.com/colours/paint/fcp-category/list?resetFilters=true.
F&B makes high-end paints in a traditional UK palette, but what's great about them is their website - a color (colour!) swatch, a very specific description, a photo of the paint on a wall with trim, and 4 sample combos of the color with other colors (wall-trim-accent or wall-trim-ceiling). They have a great selection of off-whites and grays, and with only 132 colors it's not overwhelming. It's also really smart and interesting (ie - how red is so difficult to use because you have to pick the right [off] white to go with it...). Order their free brochure, use it to match the existing color and then check the website for complements.
2. Take a swatch of the existing color and go to Home Depot, to the Martha Stewart collection. Each paint chip has 2 coordinating colors on the back. I have dozens of her chips as a reference. Again, the combos have a certain "look," but it's a great way to get ideas.
I'm really liking Behr's "Squirrel" right now - it reads a bit green, but next to the yellow would look very warm and gray.
I also agree with suzee that you should look into adding something to the wall as well.
I am a big fan of grey and yellow, and you've chosen a good grey, but your yellow needs to change! Essentially, move away from anything ochre/brownish and towards the sun, and you'll find that the reward is refreshing and really pops. Think bright mustard or banana colors. Check this for reference on awesome grey/yellows: http://www.ilthis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Splendid-things-grey-and-yellow.jpg
I think you can add some "earthy" elements to the dining room to blend the two a little better. Pendant lamp with a tan/beige shade, warm wood frame for the picture rather than black frame....I have some woven baskets in my grey room that are made of sea grass that seem to warm it up well - maybe for placemats?
Like this:
I painted a charcoal grey accent wall in my rental's living room - the other walls in the entire house are painted in that lovely ugly beige/yellow color. I think it looks ok- I use black, brown, grey with pops of bright yellow and red in the room.
My question is why??? is everyone using this wall color to torture us lowly renters? Seriously, it's everywhere.
watch all the color cure videos!
pale lemon yellow would look great with that gray, or just a nice cream paint, depending on your furniture and lighting in the rest of the room.
That beige shade is not lovely at all and it's really not yellow. There's yellow in it, but it's very peanutty.
I think you have a GREAT gray. Change the other paint, not your gray.
I think yellow and gray can be great together (meg's room from design star Monday night used this combo on walls). You can knock your yellow back a hair by adding a teensy bit of lavender tint to keep it balanced and this way will change well in different light.
Benjamin Moore's Chelsea Gray.
I'm with KatieVV & slopegirl. I'm a big fan of the yellow & gray combo, and I love the gray. I think the change should be with the yellow color.
In the photos the yellow comes across as tan. I love the idea of a more pale yellow. It should still match the decor you have in the areas where the walls are the current yellow, but it will match more cohesively with other areas--like the gray areas.
Best of luck! I have gray walls in part of my apartment, and I love them!
I think where a lot of people go wrong with this color scheme, it that they choose a grey with too much blue in it. A warmer grey would blend much nicer with the yellowish wall, but if it were me, I would just paint the yellow wall one or two shades darker of than the existing grey wall. I love 2 toned grey rooms
we did something similar in our place, we used mercer by ralph lauren. unfortunatly they stopped carrying that line at home depot in favor of martha stewart so I dont know if its available.
The key i think is to go for something slightly warm in hue and a bit darker than you have.
Ditto on avoiding the ochre/brownish. They only seem wortwhile in a richly pigmented paint like Farrow&Ball.
I have a bathroom and the area under the chair rail in my dining room painted the same "porpoise" color from Behr and have BRIGHT yellow and green accents in both rooms. I think that yellow that the other walls are painted is the problem, not the grey. Are you attached to the yellow?
I'm going to guess that you don't want to paint over the tan, maybe because the room is much bigger than we see here -- am I right?
If so, your gray could be warmer, a bit of the ochre in it. Alternatively, the photo gives me the impression that the tan color is close to that of blond wood -- natural maple, birch, like that... If that's true, you could get two more chairs for your table in birch (or whatever) for the head and foot of the table, with the shite chairs on the sides, and maybe a pendant light with a shade that color (which would also make that space feel more complete). Some art on the walls that includes both colors, and it might be all you need.
Good luck!
Oh, dear! make that "white" chairs! Proof reading it NOT my forte!
Why didn't you paint the yellow and keep the red? Red and grey are easier to match than yellow and grey, esp that browny yellow....
Yeah, is the reason you're not painting over the yellow/brown because there's a ton to paint? Maybe it reads differently in real life, but it's pretty tan and if there's anyway for you to paint over that color, I think that's the best option. If it's too much or you can't paint over that for some other reason, I would say that the color combo isn't awful, and I would add a ton of natural elements (in tone and materials) - creams and whatnot instead of strong whites and blacks like you have. Not that I'm suggesting you get rid of your table/chairs because of the paint, just where you can I would add lots of more natural materials to warm it up and bridge the colors together. Someone mentioned seagrass, and that would be great. A woven pendant, and other accessories in that vein that will lighten and brighten the tan but still coordinate with grey.
The gray you chose is too cold blue/gray and light. You need a deeper, warm brown gray color instead.
If you want a bit of drama go with a near bronze color - deep warm gray/brown.
Why not paint the ENTIRE room the same color - Either the grey or the khaki?
(preferably the Khaki since the carpet is beige)
My apartment uses tons of gray and yellow hues.
Specifically, my bedroom is Butter Yellow with an accent wall of Deep Space (B.Moore). It was once a mid-tone gray, but the darker shade feels so much richer. I do have really good sun in the room and have decent lighting fixtures to handle such a dark shade. The overhead light fixture in your room can appear harsh if it's your only light source. Personal opinion is pale grays can become dreary if not done right.
This one is shows the color combo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/designmark/6100590973/in/set-72157627564265032/
My flicker set of the entire apartment: http://www.flickr.com/photos/designmark/sets/72157627564265032/with/6101151934/
Apt Therapy did a House Call a few months back: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/house-tours/marks-eclectic-evolution-house-call-135655
The two colors don't look bad together but don't look really that good together so I probably would be too lazy to repaint the grey and would just add some other color in ornaments to the dining room and living room to tie them both together.You really do need some pops of bright color in there.
I feel like greys can be really tricky and change dramatically in different lights/rooms, but I LOVE these two shades of grey:
Behr's Elephant Skin and Ashes
I used them in two rooms of my apartment. Check them out if you'd like:
Are you really set on keeping those tan colored walls? I think those are the problem, more than your shade of gray. If you want yellow and grey, the yellow needs to be bright! The gray might need to be a tiny bit darker, but I'd start with the yellow and see how it goes from there. Check out the pallete in these pics:
Warmer grey and tonnnnnnns of artwork on that one bare wall.
i have the same brown/yellow color on my walls. i painted one of my walls in the bedroom Hope Chest by Better Homes. I LOVE IT! Visit, http://stage.dutchboy.com/bhg/pdfs/CS2Neutrals16.pdf, and it is 4 rows down, 4 over!

Monster Hunter is my most favoritest game ever. And it needs more love. I love you Monster Hunter, even if Capcom keeps your newest games locked up in Japan.
So I did 3 animations back to back, I'm going to take a little breather and when I come back I'll probably bring a "How I Got Through.." something with me :)

This really brings back memories. Back a few years ago, I used to play MHF2. I went on and poached some eggs, was chased by bullfangos and other monsters. When I almost reached the end I felt relieved because I didn't see or hear any monster nearby (Volume: 0). Then a few seconds later I got stabbed by a vespoid in the ass, causing me to drop my egg. -Sad Expression-

Wonderful animation, I really love the frame by frame of the Rathian doing a 360 - totally blew me away. Great authentic audio, wonderfully drawn, and it got its point across very well. I really hate it when the eggs break.

Submergence was written in various countries in Africa. Sections were scribbled into small, clothbound notebooks while the author waited to interview politicians and civil servants for his job as a political and war correspondent. An early draft was completed during a writing fellowship in Hobart. The final draft was finished in Mogadishu.
The aim of Submergence was, in a small way, to alter the reader's perspective of the planet we inhabit. The aim was planetary writing.
"In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Posing as a water engineer to spy on al-Qaeda activity in the area, he now faces extreme privation, mock executions and forced marches through arid Somali badlands. Thousands of miles away on the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders, a biomathematician, prepares for a dive to the ocean floor to determine the extent and forms of life in the deep. Both are drawn back, in their thoughts, to the Christmas of the previous year, and to a French hotel on the Atlantic coast, where a chance encounter on the beach led to an intense and enduring romance, now stretching across continents. For James, a descendant of Thomas More, his mind escapes to utopias, and fragments of his life and learning before his incarceration, now haunting him. Danny is drawn back to mythical and scientific origins and to the ocean: immense and otherworldly, a comfort and a threat. Submergence is a love story, a meditation on mortality, and a vivid portrayal of man's place on Earth. With it J.M. Ledgard proves himself a writer of large horizons and vast ambition."

although i'll admit that i am new to the 10/22 firearms i do like the quality of this drum mag. but i am at a loss of what the two soft plastic pieces taped to the back of the drum are for but should the one inside fail i guess i'll learn
very well made,easy to load,and these drums feed better than others i have tried. i would recomend to anyone shooting a 10/22. they fit well in my muzzelite bullpup conversion.
its junk its got the plastic lips were you load it wont last long it should have the metal lips if i knew that i would have bought the other one i got both of them they cost about the same
I was lucky to get one with all of the crazy people hording magazines, I only wanted one not 15 like most do and try to sell them at imflated prices.
As usual the sportsmans guide ships quickly. I have not used the magazine however, it's looks good and fits well in my ruger. Looking forward to shooting my 10-22 now with my 50 rd magazine.
