Houzz is the new way to design your home.
Trash or Treasure

March 23, 2013 in Design Dilemma
I found this buffet on Craig's list. I am sanding down the bad paint job today and plan on repainting. My husband cannot see the potential. Thinks it is a crime against humanity to paint furniture. I see the piece as a great tv console that will add character in our great room. Trash or treasure, what do you think?

Sweeeet.............Treasure. Just because your husband is severely challenged when it comes to vision (not that that is a bad thing.....it's a quite common trait I hear in husbands and isn't a justifiable trade in defect), I say run with your vision...........post some finished pictures.
it's a total score! what colors are you going with? anxious to see the detail highlighted and new hardware.
i'd love to se it painted white, distressed. highlight detail with a matte silver and just a touch of antique matte gold. then add a free form piece of antique mirror on top. ummm.....

Spent the day sanding and removing globs of paint. Former owner did not prime prior to painting so the paint was not adhered well. Have more to do, but should be able to prime tomorrow. I will post pictures when we complete. Thanks for the affirmation on my "treasure".

Dytecture I will take some pics in the morning. Be gentle, the room is a disaster and in need of help. A room of brown and beige on beige!

Of coarse treasure and your husband kind of right specially if you wanna painted in a color that is available in stain try to remove the paint and stain it with the color you want

Treasure!!!!! I see 2 possibilities - either white/off white distressed or a bold, high gloss paint . Of course change the knobs/hardware. I would love to see a dark blue, aqua, green or even a yellow with a very high shine/gloss. Good luck and post pictures!!

I have a piece similar to this in my kitchen - it is actually a 100 year old hardware piece that use to hold all the nails and screws with metal bins. My kitchen is a mix of modern, industrial, beachy, rustic design. Modern flat panel brown base cabinets, all open pine shelving, white walls, white ceilings, brown pine wide plank floors - I also needed color so I painted it a teal! Be bold - go for the color - LOVE IT!
Margaret B
No the TV is on a mounting bracket. I think we may need to adjust once we move the console in, so we have not opened up the drywall yet to hide the cables. The buffet is 33" by 76" the top of the chair rail is 35"

Treasure...without a doubt! I bought a bedroom set that looks like it might be from the same furniture line. I also follow 4 Love of Wood, which is a woman who turns unwanted furniture into amazing pieces. It is so fun to see the before and after. Your home looks very nicely decorated and comfortable at the same time...good job!
Margaret B
Thanks Tammytheise, comfortable is what we are after! I think the room needs a pop of color and I am very pleased with my find. My husband is actually sold on the idea now and is striping the paint off the drawers for me this morning! Raining today so we won't be painting the piece, but we are doing a lot of preparation for painting.

I google the color...is there anything similar in your room? Just curious.

We changed our mind on the color, it looked like forest green in the room. We did a custom mix and it is identical to SW Surf Green. The dining room is painted in SW Sea Salt, the chair in the room is actually the sea salt green and brown (hard to tell from the pics) so we decided to bring a bolder pop of that color into the great room. We have the globs of paint removed from the body of the buffet, but the drawers are proving to be a challenge. I suspect it will take us a few more days just sanding and prepping for primer and paint.
Margaret B
One more thing I forgot, the new drapes in the dining room are not up yet waiting for the rods but they are in this fabric. I am trying to get the house to flow, a little better, http://www.calicocorners.com/product/designer+fabrics+for+the+home/shop+fabrics+by+color/aqua+and+teal+fabric/crete+lagoon.do?search=basic&keyword=lagoon&sortby=priceAscend&page=1

Are u going to distress it/do a hand rubbed look?
March 25, 2013 at 8:12AM Like
Margaret B
Originally thought I was going to do a high gloss finish, but not sure that fits with the overall feel of the house. We have many "finds". I work from home and needed a new desk, hubby found a door at the Habitat store, cut it down to size, found legs online and added glass top. I tried to distress the legs but went too far so I am hesitant to distress the Buffet. Not sure my "finds" fit with all the beautiful rooms I see on Houzz, but there is something to be said for giving something new purpose.

Love the idea of a new rug and pillows. Thanks for the suggestion.

What about glazing the buffet instead of distressing? Like this kitchen island....
Margaret B
Shannon, thank you I really like that look. the glazing adds the character and should bring out the carved details in the top drawers. Now I just have to figure out how to do it. Thanks goodness for google!

I did a quick google search and found several good resources, both websites and youtube videos Thanks so much for pointing me in this direction. There are a lot of little details in this piece that where covered in globs of paint, the glazing should accentuate them nicely.
Treasure, and I like painted furniture. I even like lacquered furniture, which must be the equivalent to genocide to your husband, haha.
It would be too large in my house, but I have a similar styled side table - reproduction, made now - that looks great among the modern furniture I have. Oh, and it is fuchsia lacquered.

Margaret B
Wow, fuchsia would send my husband over the top. I envy you! My husband loves earth tones and I am definitely a lover of color. We have had to make plenty of compromises over the years, but I am getting old and stubborn, less willing to live in a beige and brown world!
The trick I used for removing paint from the old hinges and hardware on my doors is soaking overnight in water with a little liquid detergent in your crock pot on low setting. It either floats of or is easy to scrape of. You can spray paint with rustoleum in the metallic color of your choice if you don't like what you find. Dark bronze might look good. They also have a line of hammered metal sprays that actually look hammered when dry!
He is not a pink lover but it is in a spot he doesn't look at much... from the couch he likes, you can't see that side table. Besides, when he agreed to let me paint a wall column bright yellow, I knew I had free reign. But yeah, he is a beige person and I'm more "grey and yellow and purple and red", so it has been challenging.
This is the table:

Andreayoungc, I am pretty sure a geometric would conflict with the chair upholstery. Have attached a pic of the upholstery fabric. The colors are brown and a pale green, not sure what color it will look like on a computer monitor. Let me know if you think a geometric would work.

Is your paint color more a green or blue tone. Look on homedecorators.com Go to blue rugs. Look at contour area rug. It might look cool or might clash with the chairs -hard for me to tell over a computer. Also, check our the aviary area rug, vogue rug1, and prairie 1. Those were ones I thought of before seeing the chairs.

What about a rug that picks up the trellis pattern in your upholstery but also brings color to the room? I'm not a rug quality expert but something like this one might look good. It comes in a variety of colors a would also provide visual interest from the upstairs catwalk.
Margaret B
Wow, Shannon I love that rug in the aqua, on the computer monitor it looks perfect, just not sure about the weave. Along with the hubby I have to decorate around an 80lb black Lab named Lilly who thinks the room belongs to her! Wonder if it would stand up to her and the constant vacuuming to remove her hair!
Treasure! Thus could make an adorable changing table with a changing mattress on top! Maybe change the knobs to give it new life!

Wolfpackmom, I find a lot of treasures on Craigslist. The listings for Eastern NC are usually a good source. The buffet was in New Bern and worth the drive. Right now formal is a dirty word, so lots of classic furniture available that can be repurposed. I like our home to look collected vs purchased. Hope this helps.
outdoor rugs are wonderful with dogs. just sweep and occasionally take outside to hose down. i use pine sol. i know people who bleach theirs and then hose. they dry quickly in the sun.
read the customer reviews on ballards webite before purchasing a rug. love their style but colors aren't always accurate and the reviewers usually let you know.

I actually like the piece as is. You mentioned that the previous owner had done a poor job, however, so I would love to see it after sanding. I love a shabby look though. It isn't for everyone. I love what you've done with the desk. The new buffet would look great with the colour you used on the legs of the desk. This piece is most certainly a treasure! Great find! :)
Margaret B
We have the frame ready for primer working on the drawers! Have been uncovering some wonderful details that were covered in globs of paint. Have decided to glaze after painting based on some wonderful advice from my new houzz friends. The details in the piece will really standout with the glazing. More updates to follow.
Margaret B
I have been practicing with a method I found using 3 parts glaze 1 part minwax stain. You paint the piece first with a satin finish (have a teal green/aqua? color paint) let the paint cure and then apply the glaze. I tried an experiment with espresso stain last night and it is too heavy. Going for a lighter stain/glaze experiment tomorrow.

isARK. I totally agree it would be beautiful in the bathroom, it just won't work for us. Our builder installed a white vanity and then the tile. We would have to completely redo the floor, which would then drive me to change the wall tile (pinky beige faux stone porcelain tile). Really would not hurt my feelings to go this route but my budget does not agree. The master bath is my next decorating project, but a reno is not possible.
Fantastic Find. Please post the end product.

looking at the 1st picture which shows all choices, i'd agree 3 is best. maybe 3.5. enough glaze to show definition without overcoming the color.try it on a large sample( like 2' X 4') of butchers paper or poster board or whatever's available and hang with painters tape and see how it looks day and night.

If you do frame the TV don't paint the frame the same color as the cabinet it will look to matchy,matchy. You could make it an antiqued gold so it blends with the hardware and just looks like a picture and not contrived.

Your treasure looks absolutely amazing and so very clever to add the frame around the TV in the same glaze!! Trend setter you are, I'd say! Any chance you could show the room looking at your new piece from afar? Would love to see it with the rest of your lovely room. What's next? LOL

Rosecottagehome, the room is very awkward and has been a huge challenge for me. There are six openings into the room, our friends call it the room of doorways. I had a dilemma open last year to try and get some direction, bit it is still not complete. I plan on trying again after the holidays. But here is a peak at the room.

Employees with Bedford County Public Schools will likely have a new health insurance plan next year as the school system works to keep health insurance rates as low as possible.
The Bedford County School Board met in the first of two work sessions to discuss the 2015 budget and much of that discussion focused on the cost of health care. If the school system decided to keep its current plans, premium costs would rise 28 percent, increasing the school system's cost by $2.6 million.
Jarrett Ferguson, director of strength and conditioning for football at Virginia Tech, provided a voice of recent experience when he addressed a group of eighth grade boys at Bedford Middle School Monday afternoon.
Ferguson, a 1997 Staunton River High School grad, was the guest speaker at this month's Building Men of Substance meeting.
The Bedford County School Board voted to delay making a decision on whether to close Thaxton Elementary School Thursday. A vote could come by the end of this year, after staff has a chance to craft a plan for where students from that school would be be redistricted to attend.
The board, at Thursday's special called meeting held at Bedford Science and Technology Center, did apparently rule out closing Bedford Primary School. The decision now apparently hinges on if, and when, Thaxton Elementary would be closed.
Bedford County Public Schools has entered the world of social media.
At the request of the school board last month, Ryan Edwards, spokesman for the school division, has set up Facebook and Twitter accounts for the school system, providing additional ways for the school system to communicate with parents and the community.
Edwards said it's just one more way to keep people informed "about the great happenings going on in our schools."
They'll do their best to make it a year to remember.
Those were the first thoughts from staff and parents of students from Body Camp Elementary who will have one more year at the school before it closes.
A request to delay a decision on closing either Moneta Elementary School or Body Camp Elementary school failed on two separate votes Thursday night during a meeting of the Bedford County School Board.
A new initiative to promote positive behavior in Bedford County Public Schools is showing impressive results. And people are noticing.
Recently, Bedford Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Robert Louis Harrison Jr. gave out awards to school administrators, praising them for their work through the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program. The goal of the program—in partnership with students, families and the school community—is to "create a safe, supportive and successful learning environment."
The Bedford County School Board will be conducting a public hearing on potential closing/consolidation of elementary schools in the Staunton River Zone and the resulting redistricting of students.
The hearing will take place on Monday, June 2, 7 p.m. in the Staunton River High School auditorium. Anyone who wants to speak at this hearing should contact Sherry Ratliff, School Board Clerk, at 540-586-1045 x-257. Those wishing to speak may also sign up to speak on the evening of June 2 when arriving at the hearing.
They could use three materials: cardboard, plastic and duct tape. And with that, physics students from Liberty High School built sea-worthy vessels.
At least most of them were.
Students in Jeff Steele's classes brought their boats to Smith Mountain Lake State Park Thursday morning. Some had been working on their projects for weeks; some for just a few days.
"It's something fun to do at the end of the year," LHS senior Will Grant said.

If Bedford County Public Schools wants to operate efficiently, two of its elementary schools should be closed, according to a state-mandated efficiency study released Thursday night.

Is jOBS, written just like that, a dumb name for a movie about the co-founder of Apple?
Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs speaks during an Apple Special Event at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts January 27, 2010 in San Francisco, California. He introduced Apple's latest creation, the iPad.

Catch Christopher Plummer in a special, Sunday afternoon screening of Barrymore

The taxi business is quickly changing, with the Ford Crown Victoria set to take a permanent buyout, hybrids ready to invade Manhattan by 2012, and now robuCab. The driver-free robuCab was developed in France by Robosoft, and the technology is limited for now. It's a 4WD electric vehicle relying on a camera that reads a nearby curb and sensors reading both the curb angle and devices planted in the ground.
The slow-moving robuCab prototypes can carry four passengers, but we're not seeing a lot of luggage space in the pictures above. We also don't see robuCab taking jobs from New York's finest any time soon, as the technology still isn't close to being ready for prime time. Then again, we've already seen enough success with recent driverless car challenges to know anything is possible.

I have been making this pie to raves since it was published in 1998. Every time I make it, someone asks for the recipe. Good with vanilla ice cream, but not necessary. This weekend I won first prize in a local Harvest Fest dessert contest with this pie. I made it exactly as written, except you don't need to use all the wash nor do you need a full 1/4 C of sugar on the crust.
Cranberry-Apple-Raisin Pie
Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie
- 1 1/2 (15-ounce) packages refrigerated piecrusts
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces, toasted and chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut into pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
- Fit 1 piecrust into a 9-inch pieplate according to package directions; chill.
- Stir together 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add apple and next 3 ingredients, tossing well. Spoon into prepared piecrust; dot with butter.
- Unfold another piecrust, and press out fold lines; transfer to top of pie. Fold edges under, and seal by pressing with tines of a fork. Cut an "X" in top of crust for steam to escape.
- Unfold remaining piecrust, and press out fold lines. Cut with a tree-shaped cutter; arrange trees on top of pie.
- Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush evenly over top of pie. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.
- Bake at 400° for 20 minutes; reduce temperature to 350°, and bake 40 minutes. Serve warm, or cool on a wire rack. (To reheat, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes.) Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Why is that a Daily Deviation?Having read the title, you're probably expecting this to be a journal filled with familiar information about what to do when you see a Daily Deviation that you don't believe to be worthy of a feature, or impassioned reminders about the subjectivity of art. That isn't what this is about.Being the Community Volunteer for a niche gallery like Darkroom has been quite an experience so far. I receive comparatively few Daily Deviation suggestions, so I devote a lot of time to hunting down amazing photographs to feature and making sure that I represent as many aspects of the category as possible.The Darkroom Photography gallery is full of images created using intriguing historical and modern techniques that many people aren't aware of, or have seen or heard of but don't know much about. Part of my role as a Community Volunteer is to promote these techniques and the artists who use them, showing the incredible range of effects which can be created using photographic materials and systems, bot
Want to volunteer? #Fella needs you!fella aims to be a welcoming space, primarily for new members, providing useful resources and practical assistance from friendly, approachable deviants, leading to easier navigation of the site and an enjoyable, positive deviantART experience...and we want you to help!We're looking for dedicated deviants who are willing to volunteer at the group as part of Fella's Posse of epic admins for at least 6 months. Volunteers should be able to pro-actively and confidently create, contribute to and manage ongoing informative blogs, features about all kinds of art and contests for members at fella. If that sounds like you and you can answer with a resounding and enthusiastic YES! to the following questions, read on and apply... Have you been an active member of deviantART for at least one year? Are you passionate about sharing information and being a positive and helpful influence? Do you have dirty great dollops o
Spirit Day: A Bi VoiceIn honour of Spirit Day, I would like to share something about my own experiences with people's reactions to my sexuality. When asked my sexual orientation, I say 'bisexual' simply because it's more concise than the things I find attractive in a person don't tend to be gender specific so what does or doesn't dangle between a person's legs is as irrelevant to me as the colour of their eyes or the size of their feet when it comes to assessing whether or not they are physically, intellectually or emotionally appealing.That doesn't sound too crazy, right? I mean, plenty of people are bisexual. It shouldn't be a big deal. But for some reason, it often is. I've always been pretty comfortable talking about my sexuality in relevant contexts. I'm not confrontational or militant about it, I don't wear an "I'm bisexual, lets talk about me!" t-shirt and I never felt the need to come out, because I always figured that if people want to make assumptions about who I find attractive, that's th
Celebrating Diversity #13In this issue of Celebrating Diversity, I would like to remind you of an amazing feeling...when you see a piece of art created in a medium or genre that you have little or no experience of working in, and it feels like you're witnessing something magical, something beyond your comprehension.It's wonderful to revel in the joy of How do they do that? and find inspiration in the creations of other artists. So I challenge you to take a step outside of the galleries that you regularly browse and immerse yourself in the experience of indulging in something new.How do you celebrate diversity? Do you regularly browse, comment on and collect art that's wildly different from what you create? Do you watch artists who use mediums that you don't use in your own
Categorising Darkroom - Digital or Traditional?On dA, the galleries for Darkroom Photography are split into two categories - Digital and Traditional.Digital Darkroom is for Photographs which have been digitally processed or edited with the use of computer software to emulate traditional and alternative film darkroom techniques.Traditional Darkroom is for Scans of photographic prints and negatives where the images have been physically developed and/or printed using traditional and alternative film darkroom techniques. This gallery is not for digitally created or edited images.It seems like an obvious difference, right? How much further explaining really needs to be done? Well, just a little, because there are a few exceptions to what you might assume to be hard and fast rules.The RulePhotos created with the involvement of a digital camera should never be placed in Darkroom > Traditional.
dA Life #06: Dealing With AbuseWelcome to the sixth dA Life blog, a series created to help you enjoy your time on dA and use it's many tools for sharing your art, appreciating other people's art and taking part in the wonderful community that we have here.Sometimes at fella we get notes from deviants about things that are beyond our control, things that we as a group simply can't intervene in or fix on your behalf. One of those issues is claims of harassment and abuse. Luckily, this is something that you can often deal with yourself with the account tools that everyone on the site has at their disposal.The purpose of this journal is to share useful information with you about how to handle issues you have with other deviants, their behaviour and their work and to make suggestions as to how you may choose to deal with these issues.

Sorry to bother you...Hello all,I thought I'd take a moment today to write a journal which is probably long overdue. I believe there is a common misconception floating around that CVs are so busy, that when you send us DD Suggestions, or other messages, you are being a bother. Quite regularly the DD Suggestions I receive start with something along the lines of "I am sorry to bother you..." or "I know you are busy but.." I'd like to assure you all that no suggestions you send, or any other type of contact made with me (or any other CV for that matter) is something to feel sorry or bad about (unless you are legitimately harassing us or something). I've often heard community members talk about how many notes CVs get daily (often this number appears to be near 100) and I feel the need to say that this is very far from the truth. On average I receive maybe 5 notes a day. On a slow day I may not get any at all and on a busy day I may get up to 10. While I can not speak

A Personal CauseSince it's inception in 2002, I have participated in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers. This event involves a 60km trek and a personal fundraising minimum of $2,000. Over the last 10 years I have been involved, I have raised over 50,000 and it's never been easy. The last couple of years have been particularly difficult because, let's be honest, there are a bunch of causes to support and only so much money to go around. I completely appreciate that there are numerous causes banging on your door, however, I will plead my case! Over the years there are certainly numerous causes that have come to my attention and, like you, I have a limited budget. My cause is pretty simple - it's Cancer. In my lifetime I have lost family members and it's tried to take my mother, twice. I witnessed my grandmother's fight first hand and I can't express the helplessness one feels when y

A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their
Gallery Makeover ProjectHello everyone Recently my team and I worked tirelessly on a project to help improve the gallery descriptions and thumbnail examples. While that project was indeed tedious with almost 4,000 categories in our system, it was also educational. What I learned from sorting through thousands and thousands of categories was that we have a lot of redundancy and a lot of categories that seem to have been created on a whim that are now simply homes for junk.Over the years, the desire to appease niche communities and people who just wanted a specific area has led to some categories that go up to 4 levels deep, and it's really no wonder it's so confusing for people to figure out where to submit their artwork.The conclusion I've come to is simplicity. While I'm not about to rip apart everything and make 6 stand alone categories, I do believe that there is a lot we can do to simplify the category tree. That includes some of the following:1. Merging categories that ma
This tiny insignificant thing mildly displeases meI love browsing the Suggestions forum but am seriously blown away by how many times people post threads suggesting/requesting/demanding that dA alter the way the site works in order that they never have to see anything that isn't to their specific personal taste.I'm not talking about the Mature Content filter or submissions with violate dA's policies here. I mean people expecting the entire site to change so that they don't ever encounter a thumbnail-sized image of a cat or My Little Pony or [insert other random object or concept here] while looking at the front page in Newest or Popular modes.I find myself typing pretty much the same thing to these people on a regular basis, so thought it would be easier to simply make a journal about it that I can link to. So here it is.Ok, first of all, context. dA is a huge, global website for artists and art appreciators of all ages with all sorts of tastes in what they create and look at. The fron

Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

Pungent cheese, sharp olives, fruity olive oil, and briny capers give this no-cook pasta sauce tons of flavor.
Cooking Light JULY 2005
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
Combine tomato and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add pasta, and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
Tip: Quickly peel tomatoes by plunging them into the boiling pasta water (before adding the pasta) for 20 seconds; remove with a slotted spoon, and quickly rinse under cold water. The skins will slip right off.

Lawmaker wants $60 million Penn State fine kept in Pa.
Penn State is beginning to make good on $60 million in fines stemming from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, and a leading lawmaker wants the money kept in-state.
Sen. Jake Corman said Thursday he will introduce a bill to guarantee the NCAA fine goes toward ``the betterment of Pennsylvanians.''
Corman, Republican chairman of the Appropriations Committee, wants lawmakers to act quickly. The university has already made its first $12 million payment.
Corman says the money comes from funds raised largely in Pennsylvania.
He plans to ask a state court to block the NCAA from releasing any money outside Pennsylvania.
A university spokesman is declining comment.
Sandusky is serving a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted this summer of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

What does it mean when a guy says he has nothing to say
We had a fight. It's happened before. He will then wait a few days and send a letter of apology. This time he was supposed to come over and never showed up. I thought he was an accident. He never called, never texted I got pissed. It turned out that his ca was towed. But I think he should have let me know. Now he is mad at me. I send a note saying I was sorry but I had been worried and if wanted to end the friendship over this. The response I got was I have nothing to say. sh*t happens. It's not about you. No more emails please. So am I to think he's finished or he needs time to cool off?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
He just want some time to cool off. Give him his request.
What Guys Said 3
Just leave him alone. He clearly doesn't want to discuss the issue further. I don't get why some girls just keep pushing their man's buttons looking for something that isn't there. It just makes things worse.
Women wouldn't push mmen's buttons if they leveled with them! When someone is supposed to show up and they never call or appear it's natural to think something happened to them! If he had said his car had been towed there would not have been a problem!
It sounds like he's getting sick of your short fuse, and just doesn't feel he needs to explain himself to you anymore.
I'd like to see what you would do if someone was supposed to meet you and they never appeared. That's NOT a short fuse. It''s plain old concern!
I wouldn't flip out on them and demand an apology or anything like that, I'd just delete their number and go spend my time with other people. It's pretty simple. I don't have time to spend with people that don't respect me.
He's stressed. He just got his car impounded. You are honestly somewhere between lowest item and lower level items on his list of concerns. After all you're right, it's happened before, so why worry about what's constant?
What Girls Said 1
Give him time if he wants you in his life he will be in touch...don't hear from him have the courtesy to leave him alone. He does not want you in his life.

Rumors are circulating that one of Tyler's landmark restaurants could soon re-open.
Last month, Gilbert's El Charro closed their doors after nearly 70 years of operating in East Texas.
However, earlier this week, an El Charro delivery trucked parked outside of Zaza's (a restaurant that just recently closed its doors) raised some questions.
Everyone is being very tight lipped about the future plans for Zaza's property until the paperwork is finalized. However, the management team of the property did confirm they are working with members of the family who owned El Charro.
El Charro's location on Erwin Street has been closed for several months. Their second location off of Fifth Street in Tyler closed on July 28.
El Charro, as well as the manager of the property rumored to be the future home of the Mexican restaurant, all declined interviews until the paperwork is complete, which is estimated to be sometime next week.
However, the owner of Tyler's new piano bar, The Keys, said she is already planning a menu with the future owners of that restaurant.
"We partner with Bruno's down the street," said Stephanie Bullington, owner of The Keys.
"We are a private club with memberships available. We provide a menu, but we don't provide food here personally, and we have also partnered with an upcoming restaurant that will be opening up right across the street from us as well. The customers will be extremely happy. They will have a great memory of their childhood," Bullington explained.

The Family-To-Family Holiday Program in its 39th year, serves low-income families and individuals who are clients of our Child Protection, Adolescent, Adult Protection (elderly and disabled adults) programs, and our basic needs families. We hope you will join our effort to brighten the lives of county residents who will otherwise do without this holiday season. Last year we served over 450 families (totaling more than 1,400 individuals). The BCHC is the non-profit 501 ( c ) 3 organization that serves as the umbrella agency for the Casa de la Esperanza, Family Self-Sufficiency, Family & Children Services and the Family-to-Family Holiday Gift programs.
As we look to turning 40 next year, Family-To-Family is evolving with exciting changes that align with Department of Housing & Human Service's philosophy on the best-possible practices in Human Services. Our new tag line, "Hope for the future, Help when you need it" symbolizes our efforts to place individual empowerment, family self-sufficiency and safety at the forefront of all our work. We are using every opportunity to form partnerships with families by giving them the primary voice in decisions affecting their lives. With that in mind, we are asking donors to support clients who would prefer to receive gift cards and do the holiday shopping themselves. Many of our parents will relish the opportunity to purchase presents for their own children, and teens and disabled or elderly adults clients have long preferred the chance to shop for themselves.
We are using this year as a transition year to re-format our holiday program to match the agency's goal of giving all clients more voice and choice. We are still offering the classic gift purchasing program, but our goal for next year is to have all participants receive gift cards.
Donors can use the sum of $75 per person to gauge the maximum number of people to support, and we match you appropriately.
The Family-To-Family Program is hugely appreciated by the people we serve.. It takes the pressure off neighbors who are struggling during the holiday season and captures the true meaning of hope for the future and help when it is needed!

NEW YORK -- Will Smith will host Nickelodeon's 25th-annual Kids' Choice Awards.
Nickelodeon announced Wednesday that 10-time winner Smith will host the March 31 ceremony from the Galen Center in Los Angeles. The show will air live on Nickelodeon.
Smith calls the awards "the year's liveliest, slimiest and most outrageous party for kids and teens." The actor recently finished filming "Men in Black III."
The Kids' Choice Awards honor kids' favorites in film, music, sports and television by tallying the votes of kids online and via mobile devices. During the show, green slime is routinely dumped on celebrities and winners receive trophies shaped like blimps.

Does anyone think that the economy can be fixed by incentivizing redistribution of wealth?
It seems to me that one of the biggest problems in our economy is the vast income gap, leaving some with all, and most with nothing. In reality, there is enough abundance for everyone, but the wealth stagnates when it it held prisoner by the super rich. These people could never possibly spend all their money, so they keep it in banks/money markets/stocks. Banks loan the money out to entrepreneurs and potential home owners and the like. When the banks do this, they charge interest to the people, becoming self-made middle-men. Removing this step and forcing the wealthy to redistribute their wealth how they see fit is a fair solution to the uneven distribution of resources. Those who control a lot of the money would be encouraged to spend their overabundant liquid capital. If your taxes show you having over "x amount" of "money in the bank" so to speak, you will have a choice between re-investing your money or paying an increased tax rate.They can choose to reduce their liquid assets by:
- investing in new businesses and infrastructure (creating jobs)
- buying cars, ipads, and pontoons (also stimulating the economy)
- purchasing government bonds (helping alleviate some of the more pressing debt issues)
- granting vouchers for charity donations, allowing you to keep a larger percentage of otherwise taxable money
If they refuse to invest or spend enough of their money, they will be charged a tax penalty.
I think it's a good idea, and I would love some feedback from someone who has a really good understanding of economics. If you think it's a good idea, share it! No one else will fix these problems for us!

Jan 11 2012: I think the simplest way to help the redistribution wealth is to just increase the tax bands to cover larger sums of money at a higher taxation rate and have savings, stocks and tied up collateral taken into account.
An 86% tax rate for those with over 100 Billion dollars of value, savings and income would surely generate a far bigger income and benefit to society than, lets say, letting a minimum wage employee keep an extra $25 a week.

The New Jersey Devils allowed center Scott Gomez to become a free agent last summer and in game one of the playoffs, he made them regret it. Gomez came back to haunt his old team, picking up three assists in the Rangers 4-1 win over the Devils in the first ever playoff game at the Prudential Center in Newark. The Rangers lead the best-of-seven series 1-0.
If Gomez relished beating his former team, he wasn't letting on after the game. "I think growing up as a kid, this is what you want, the playoffs. It's the most exciting time of year," said Gomez. "It doesn't matter who you are playing, it's just a special time of year. I've got a lot of friends over there, but the way you're raised over there, it doesn't matter who's in the way. There were no extra emotions."
The Devils controlled the tempo of the game for most of the first period but could not get on the board despite some choice opportunities. Brian Gionta had the best scoring chance with just over two minutes left in the period when he stole the puck from Fedor Tyutin and came in towards the Rangers net. New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist got the shaft of his stick on the shot and the game remained scoreless after one period.
Gomez began to work his magic early in the second period. In the final seconds of a power play, Gomez skated down the middle and into the Devils' zone where he found Shanahan at the right circle. The veteran winger took a shot that beat Brodeur low to the stick side just two seconds after the power play expired. He was screened on the play by Gomez who headed to the net after delivering the pass.
The Devils drew even at the 14:14 mark of the second stanza with Gomez in the penalty box for hooking. There was a mad scramble after several blocked shots and Rangers' forward Martin Straka playing without a stick. Eventually, Patrick Elias found the loose puck and passed to defenseman Paul Martin at the right circle. Martin waited patiently for a diving defender to slide past him before beating Lundqvist on a snap shot. The score remained tied 1-1 after 40 minutes.
The Devils seemed to be the more determined team early in the third period but they couldn't solve Lundqvist, who made 26 saves on the night. The best scoring chance belonged to Jamie Langenbrunner at the 6:14 mark but he failed to get good wood on a shot from just outside the crease and Lundqvist was able to cover the puck.
The Rangers didn't manage a shot on goal for the first 7:23 of the period but made their first one count. While killing a penalty, Gomez skated down the right side and laid a perfect drop pass to Callahan, who was trailing the play. Callahan let a shot go which Devils' goalie Martin Brodeur stopped. The rebound came in front of the crease. Brodeur seemed to have the best chance to get it but he hesitated and Callahan raced around from behind the net and pounced on the loose puck before putting the puck in the goal.
Brodeur was disappointed in the way he reacted to the play. "[Callahan] was the first one to take the shot, and I was only looking at Gomer," Brodeur explained. "I didn't know he was around. You have to freeze that. It's not the way I play. I like to keep the play moving. I made a mistake, and it cost us."
"Part of my game is crashing the net and getting to the front of the net, and I saw that the puck was going there so I tried to get there as quick as possible," Callahan said. "He misplayed it a little and I was able to bang it in."
The Rangers added an insurance goal with just 2:53 left on the clock when Gomez skated down the left side and threw a pass towards the front of the net. The puck bounced off the skate of Sergei Brylin and stayed in the slot. Sean Avery got there first and shot the puck into an open net.
Nigel Dawes added an empty-net goal with just 4.5 seconds remaining off an unselfish pass from Shanahan to close out the scoring. Lundqvist was confident but cautious after earning the victory. "We know we are facing a really good team, but we really believe in each other and the way we are playing," Lundqvist said. "This was a good win. But it's only one win. We have a long way to go here."
Game two will be Friday night in New Jersey.
The Rangers were 7-0-1 against the Devils during the regular season and outscored New Jersey 19-10. The two teams have met four previous times in the playoffs with the Rangers prevailing in 1992, 1994 and 1997 before the Devils swept New York in 2006.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Three groups working to get countries to abolish the death penalty have appealed to the United Nations to freeze anti-drug assistance to Vietnam after the communist country sentenced 30 people to die for drug-related offenses.
The call from Harm Reduction International, Reprieve and the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty cites the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime's internal human rights guidance requiring the organization to stop funding for a country if it's feared that such support may facilitate executions.
The appeal comes after a court in northern Vietnam sentenced 30 people to death last month for heroin trafficking, the largest number of defendants sentenced to death in a single trial in the country's court history.
UNODC officials were not immediately available for comment Wednesday.

As a firearms instructor, I am probably asked in one way or another some derivation of the "How To Buy A Handgun" question more so than any other query. Rather than answer a lot of simple and often inter-related questions on the subject, I felt that the subject matter would best be served by an exhaustive and definitive answer to this prevalent question.
The 10-Day Handgun Purchase Permit (TDHPP)
The first step in the handgun buying process - in the state of Michigan - is for the prospective buyer, who is at least eighteen (18) years of age, to acquire a "Ten Day HandGun Purchase Permit" (TDHPP) from the prevailing law enforcement authority (PLEA) where the prospective buyer legally resides.
For example, in the city of Detroit a buyer would apply at Detroit Police Headquarters whereas a buyer residing in a rural area might need to apply at his respective county Sheriff's Office. Buyers who possess a current Michigan Concealed Pistol License (MCPL) are not required to obtain a TDHPP before buying a handgun.
In accordance with state of Michigan law and the local practices of the buyer's PLEA, the prospective buyer may be required to take and pass a short fifteen question True/False exam - the Michigan Basic Pistol Safety Questionaire (MPSQ) - without cost which must be passed with at least a score of seventy percent (70%) correct. Once the buyer has passed the MPSQ, he will be issued a TDHPP which authorizes him to legally purchase a handgun within the next ten days. If the buyer does not buy a handgun within the specified ten day period, he will need to revisit his PLEA and reapply for another TDHPP.
The Handgun Purchase From A Private Seller
Authorized handgun buyers, who are at least eighteen (18) years of age but who have not yet reached the age of twenty-one (21), are not allowed under U.S. Federal Law to purchase a handgun from a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). Thus, these buyers can only legally buy or transfer ownership of handguns from private sellers. In contrast, authorized handgun buyers who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age can legally buy a handgun from both FFLs and private sellers.
At the time of purchase, authorized handgun buyers under the age of twenty-one (21) must present their TDHPP to the private seller. Likewise, authorized handgun buyers, who are at least twenty-one (21) years old, but do not have a current MCPL, and wish to buy a handgun from a private seller, must also submit their TDHPP to the seller.
In contrast, handgun buyers with a current MCPL who wish to buy a handgun from a private seller must be presented with a Michigan Pistol Sales Record Form MI-60 (PSRF) from the seller. A purchaser with a MCPL would be wise to have a blank PSRF downloaded from Michigan State Police's official website at URL www.michigan.gov/msp in the event that the seller was unaware that the buyer did not need a TDHPP.
In all of the scenarios - listed above - dealing with the purchase of handguns from private sellers, both the seller and the buyer must both sign all three sections of the applicable form: the TDHPP or the PSRF. The seller retains one part of the applicable form and gives the remaining two sections of the applicable form to the buyer.
The buyer, in all of the above scenarios, would be wise to receive a sales receipt for his handgun purchase from the seller, to confirm the identity of the seller by checking the seller's state issued identification, to confirm that the seller is the owner of the handgun by checking the seller's Safety Inspection Certificate (SIC) for the handgun in question, and to verify that the serial number on the handgun matches the info on the SIC.
This section would not be complete without at least mentioning that there may be some element of risk for the buyer when buying a gun from private seller. Just keep in mind that the buyer may be doing business with a complete stranger who the buyer already knows will be in his presence with at least one gun - presumably the one he's selling - and the seller knows that the buyer will have a lot of cash. Thus, common sense should be the order of the day. The buyer should meet the seller in a public and well populated locale like a firing range.
The Handgun Purchase From a FFL
Authorized handgun buyers, who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, are allowed under U.S. Federal Law to purchase a handgun from a FFL. As in the above scenario - when purchasing a handgun from a private seller - the non MCPL buyer must present the FFL with the TDHPP from their PLEA. In contrast, the MCPL handgun buyer can be assured that a FFL will have a PSRF on hand to legally document and transact the handgun purchase.
There will also be other documentation for the buyer - both with or without a MCPL - to satisfy other federal requirements. The FFL will guide the buyer through the entire process. At the end of the sales transaction, a non MCPL buyer will have two endorsed portions of the TDHPP in his possession and the MCPL buyer will have an endorsed PSRF. In both cases, the requisite form must be taken by the buyer along with the gun to his PLEA for a safety inspection within ten (10) days or he could be charged with a misdemeanor.
The Transportation Of A Firearm By Car
The legal way to transport a handgun in a car by a person without a MCPL is for the handgun to be unloaded, separated from ammunition, placed in an approved and locked case, with the case placed in the trunk or the rear-most section of the vehicle.
The Handgun Safety Inspection
All handgun purchases must be safety inspected by the buyer's PLEA within ten (10) days of purchase. The buyer should also present the PLEA with the requisite form: endorsed sections of the TDHPP or the PSRF. With this information, the gun's ownership will be transferred to the buyer upon the entry of the transaction's pertinent info into the state's database and the issuance of a SIC to the buyer.

One of the most underrated values of palaeontology is the story it tells of our always changing world. Palaeontology teaches us incredible lessons about geography, climate change, and maybe most interestingly, evolution.
Dinosaur palaeontology tells the incredibly story of how evolution took very different paths in the north (Laurasia) and the south (Gondwana). Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants of Gondwana tells us the tale of the south where, compared to the north, dinosaurs took on new, and bizarre shapes, and brought forth all new types defensive and offensive weapons.
Many of the world largest animals EVER like the titanosaurs (Futalongkosaurus), and carcharodontosauridae (Giganotosaurus), evolved in the south. However, familiar northern animals like ceratopsians, hadrosaurus and raptors took on small niches compared to the abundance of their species found in the North.
- The 4 maps used show the incredibly transformation of the world from the Triassic, 220 million years ago, to the great extinction at the end of Cretaceous, 65 million years ago.
- These awesome maps were created by Ron Blakey, NAU Geology.
- Check 'em all out here.
But you don't have to just read about it! We have a set of very special podcasts available free on iTunesU. Our course outline is as follows:
- Dynamic Planet
Learn how continental drift and plate tectonics helped form Pangaea.
- Dinosaur Classification
Find out how to identify dinosaurs and examine the families scientists use to identify these ancient creatures.
- The Triassic Period
The first dinosaurs evolved amidst stiff competition for survival. Discover their story.
- The Jurassic Period
Uncover the second wave of dinosaurs who came to dominate life on land.
- The Cretaceous Period
The final stage of the Age of Dinosaurs saw amazing dinosaur diversity as the southern continents drifted apart.
- The Ultimate Dinosaurs
Meet our "featured creatures", Giganotosaurus and Futalognkosaurus, and compare the dinosaurs of the north and south.
You can download the podcasts HERE from the iTunes store. Remember, they're FREE. Because free content and education is always the best.
I encourage you all to check this out. It's written and read by one of our science educators at the ROM, Aaron Phillips, who's really a true dude, and loves dinosaurs as much as all of us do.
It's really fun to listen to as you walk through the exhibit, and it adds a whole new layer to the gallery experience. Also just as awesome on public transit.
Make sure to check out the rest of our 28 Reasons to Visit #ultimatedinos! The greatest dinosaur exhibit ever shown (at least in my personal opinion) closes March 17th. More info here!

Average dish which was unfortunately too salty. :( Ask for less salt when ordering.
With mushrooms and scallops. Flavoursome but not too heavy. Yummy!
Overall a good mix of sushi and sashimi, worth a try :)
Soft bone pieces it was quite nice as it had a fair bit of meat with each piece.
Nice treat but needs to be fresher.
Chef Luke's signature beef broth, thinly sliced angus sirloin and brisket, bean sprouts, fresh thai basil, fresh chilli and rice noodles. As much as I love Luke Nguyen, unfortunately this was a little bit too salty for our liking. If dining here, I recommend asking for less sale in your meals.
Topped with mandarin, perilla, lemongrass and roasted rice powder. The salmon was really fresh! Paired with the citrus flavours from the mandarin, it was delicious :)
Succulent pieces of fresh plump seafood tosses with Spanish paella with a seafood broth. Yummo!
Beautiful ice cream made using liquid nitrogen right in front of my eyes! I loved how it wasn't too sweet!

This weekend, the Personal Democracy Forum hosted a Twitter-only political experiment. The participants gave it the old college try, including a Time magazine blogger and Obama and McCain representatives. At least so far, Twitter falters on the political front.
My main complaint is that it's too hard to follow the topics among the participants. Also there's no simple way to browse all their tweets together, beyond the most recent 20 messages. Finally, a search mechanism is conspicuously missing in action.
To see the commentary, please link to any of these formats: (1) individual tweets from Time's Ana Marie Cox, Mike Nelson for Obama, and Liz Mair for McCain; (2) side-by-side tweets from all three; and (3) mixed tweets based on time posted.

While Twitter messages seem almost long enough to say something, it takes too much effort to "connect the dots" among the participants. Old-fashioned chat rooms worked better than this!
