In January 2012, Jonathan Cahn's New York Times bestseller, The Harbinger, released to the public and quickly garnered widespread media attention and popular appeal. The book, a narrative revealing ancient mysteries 2,500 years old pointing to 21st century America's future, sounded a wakeup call and promptly triggered a gamut of questions from readers who realized the spiritual significance of the story. Now, a year later Cahn is releasing The Harbinger Companion: With Study Guide. Filled with photos, drawings, photographs, charts and a section answering the most often asked questions surrounding The Harbinger, the book is non-fiction. Cahn explores each mystery he revealed in The Harbinger, piece by piece, with background information. The Companion also features a 13-week study guide that individuals, small groups and churches can use to go deeper into The Harbinger.
Here in this interview, Cahn talks the nation's response to his 2012 book, this new work and why it's vital that church leaders preach prophetically on the end times.
Jonathan, did the overwhelming response to The Harbinger surprise you at all? Why do you think it caused such a stir throughout the nation?
From the way The Harbinger came to me and the way it became a book, I had no doubt it was from the Lord. So I had an assurance that it would go forth to the nation. What surprised me was how fast it all happened. The week of its release, it became the No. 1 new book on Amazon and made The New York Times best-sellers list. That definitely surprised me. I still don't understand the dynamics of how it happened.
I spent three days recently at a cabin with five other pastors, holding what we call a roundtable.
I'm from California. We met in Illinois, where there was a blizzard one day and the temperature hit minus 7 degrees one night. I didn't care. What we were doing was so important, we didn't need to go outside. We do this every year. We plan to continue doing it until our last days of ministry.
Here's why I'm involved in a roundtable:
1. These guys inspire me. They're my friends, all are pastors, and seeing how they live out their commitment to God inspires me. There aren't too many people who do what we do. One of the guys lost his wife and best friend to cancer in the same year. Another adopted and is raising four high-risk children. A third runs triathlons. All of them are devoted to their wives and to walking in close quarters with Christ. During dark seasons in my ministry, I think of them and it boosts my determination to keep going.
In marriage counseling, it's common to find spouses playing the part of attorneys—stating their case why the other spouse is to blame for the problems at hand.
A husband blames his wife for his neglect because she's not physically affectionate enough. A wife blames her husband for her critical nature because he's not emotionally intimate enough. As a counselor, it's easy to slip into the role of a judge trying to decide who "wins."
The wiser approach is to hold spouses responsible for their own actions and words. The apostle Paul clearly describes this principle of personal responsibility in Galatians 6:7-8, saying that a man (or woman) "reaps what he sows." Consider the following steps to counseling couples away from the name-and-blame game and toward a "harvest" of a better marriage.
Even with the best of intentions, things have a way of going south.
When we launched our outreach ministry (at Mariners Church in Orange County, Calif.), the first thing we thought to do was meet the basic needs of the people we were serving. Sounds reasonable, right? They need groceries; we'll give them a bag of food. They need winter coats? Got it. School supplies? Check. Then we'll teach them about Jesus and they'll pray the prayer and bam! We're all good.
But wait.
If we really believe in an irresistible Savior whose love is the most powerful force on earth, why is it we cling to manipulative tools, gimmicks and cheap material resources to all but bribe someone into the kingdom of heaven?
What an ancient mystery means to America's future—and your ministry
What could an ancient mystery more than 2,500 years old mean to the future of your ministry? To understand its relevance for today, let me set the stage and go back to the last days of ancient Israel.
Before Israel's destruction as a nation, nine harbingers appeared—nine warnings of destruction in a biblical template of national judgment. These same nine harbingers of judgment are now reappearing in modern America in specific detail. Some have appeared in New York City, some in Washington D.C., some have involved the highest leaders of the land, even the president of the United States. The manifestations of the harbingers involve such things as the Stone of Judgment, the Sign of the Sycamore, the Tower, the Utterance, the Prophecy and more.
The pattern begins with a national wake-up call: The nation's hedge of protection is breached in some way. Years before the judgment, an enemy is allowed to strike the land. In the case of ancient Israel, that assault took place in 732 B.C. with the Assyrian invasion. In America, it happened on Sept. 11, 2001. After Assyria's attack, Israel did not repent or turn back to the Lord. Neither has America. In fact, both nations descended deeper into apostasy. And in both cases, the first strike led to further shakings. In America, we saw the second strike as the U.S. economy collapsed. Behind this modern-day collapse was a stream of ancient mysteries, some of which actually identified and ordained the very dates, days and hours of the greatest economic crashes in American history.

A Must For Bakers: Marble Pastry Board
Cooks who work on marble countertops already know that marble is great for working with pastry and chocolate. When chilled, a marble surface is ideal for keeping dough from sticking -- particularly when you're not keen on adding too much extra flour. If you're an avid baker, it's an essential tool to have in your kitchen. And you can get one for around $30!
You can find marble boards in all shapes and prices, but look for a board around 16" x 20" inch range, which is a good size for most dough rolling and working needs. We like this basic board from Sur La Table, which you can pick up for $40. For a larger, heavier board, the 24" x 16" marble pastry board from Williams-Sonoma will run you about $130. (It's also made in Spain, as opposed to China for the Sur La Table board.)
Another frugal option: look for remnant marble countertop pieces, or pick up a marble floor tile at home improvement store.
Do you have a marble pastry board?

I've been baking for a long time, and I just don't feel a marble board is necessary. I also spent some time working in a commercial kitchen, and we didn't use one there either. I feel like you could use that money to purchase really good ingredients instead, or save it and put it towards a nice mixer, or other tools that would serve you better and more often in your baking.
Marble isn't a great insulator. It's at least 13 times more thermally conductive than wood. Of course it's at room temperature unless you chilled it, it only feels cooler because it is absorbing heat from your hand faster. And conversely, it'll give its heat to your dough faster too. If you need extra chilling for the dough, keeping a sheet pan in the freezer to periodically press against it is a lot cheaper and more effective.
For comparison, these are the thermal conductivity coefficients (higher = faster transfer) for some common kitchen materials.
Hardwoods: 0.16
Marble: 2.08 - 2.94
Stainless Steel: 16.3
Aluminum: 30
Copper: 401
Depending on how you plan to use a marble pastry board, consider measuring your fridge first. I had a board that wasn't quite big enough to roll out a pie crust, was delighted to find a much larger one for only $20 at a kitchen outlet store, and was chagrined to get home and discover I couldn't fit the new one in my freezer to chill it.
Thanks for that, youngfrey! Really interesting to see the comparisons.
I totally agree. If you can't chill a marble board, it's just a decoration. Mine supports a toaster.
And if you do chill one, remember that any humidity will make it sweat, so you'll need to deal with that too.
I found my board at a local stone yard, and I had hundreds of gorgeous granite and marble patterns to choose from. They cut it to my specifications and the prices were very reasonable. I posted about it here---
My mom 's used a marble board for 30+ years, but mainly for candy making, not baking. It's a spot for pouring out hot caramel, beating fondant centers, or making pecan logs. Recently saw one used strictly as a background for food photography, with custom handles cut in the bottom- a scrap from a local tile store.
I'd be more interested in a post about what marble IS actually good for in baking/candy making. We came across six marble slabs that a tile place were getting rid of for free. So now I have these squares and I don't know what to do with them.
Those who are a candy maker or a baker, definitely they need a dedicated marble slab. There is nothing like working a bunch of candy on marble. I know there are marble rolling pins, but it is much better to be rolling out your pastry or pie dough on marble. It just works much superior than something else.

Ha ha- no fair! You already know I want to work with you someday so you would not get a blah!
I will go with fantastic as you do have work outside the norm, and what I am generally drawn to. I think my ol favorite of yours is http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28127005
I am going to go with meh- mostly because it really takes some spectacular art nude work to get me feeling like it really draws me in.
This one stands out for where I would like to see more of your images go- the lighting, the dynamic feel of the poses. I like it...
18+ http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26267208
No- not bored to death! But also not overly excited when I see your portfolio so will go with meh.
You do have the look of someone I would want to try working with- and see potential for some really good images from you in the future so would continue to look back at your work and see how you progress. Your avatar stands out to me as expressing your unique features and things that make me consider working with you
You are lingering in this zone between meh and fantastic. Maybe I had my hopes too high when jumping into your port based on your avatar (which I will say is your most exciting image for me)
I see lots of willingness to experiment with lighting and angles etc. but I do not feel you have totally nailed it yet to go for full on fantastic. I do dig where you are going- and would check back on your port to see how it is progressing!
I am going to go with meh. You have good technical skills, but I am not feeling those skills bringing out any magic and emotion as much as I think you could.
While this image is my favorite as I feel it does allow me to connect to the model more so than any other of your images http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28485587
It feel feel this image is the one that points toward the direction you may go with your work http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26327114
I am going to go with meh with a borderline blah. Mostly becasue it appears you are new and do not have much of a selection of work yet. I do see potential in your unique look to keep me in the meh category as opposed to full on blah.
my blah picture from your port is this one: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29834910
I have been watching your port grow for a while- quietly lurking and peeking every once in a while
In a much less creepy sense I have seen it steadily improve and feel you have slipped into fantastic for me. The best out there? No, sorry. But see stuff that I dig and enjoy clicking on the thumbnail to see the larger image on my screen.
This image has a great energy and feeling of fun to it- I love the model's expression http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26428940
Sure, go for it.
Oh- trust me, my big boy pants are securely on! I thrive on critical feedback!
But, err, umm... you did not say anything that would make me get butt hurt..
There are enough images in your port that get me excited that I will put you into fantastic. And- well, you are in MA...
I will say I dig the dynamic energy of your avatar and feel it is your best choice to respresent your portfolio to lure people in.
OK- so I am not in love with every image in your portfolio- but I can't think of anyone on this site that I am in love with every image- but there are certainly enough to pull me into fantastic world.
Your avatar haunts me when I sleep, or umm something like that... Basically it is intense in a good way
It pains me- as I totally dig location shoots that have some grit to them- but I am feeling kinda meh when I look through your portfolio. I hear somehting screaming to get out- but it is muted.
It is a tough choice, but I looked through your images a couple times and will say this one makes me feel like I could pull my ish together to check out your portfolio in the future
Well, the first thing that came to my mind when I opened your port is "I wanna work with her!" so yeah- I reckon that puts you squarely within the fantastic category. I love models who's work reaches outside the norm, and yours certainly does. Hmmmm... how far is it to Syracuse!?!
So, while the choice was hard as there were several images I like- this one just pulled me in: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/17636934
Thank you!
Dig the styling! Dig the lighting! Dig it all! Well, not every image, but there are many that I adore. I will go with fantastic!
I am going to cheat here- or maybe it is being lazy, but I am having a hard time picking the one image that stands out. But that is a good thing!
According to Google Maps -
255 mi, 3 hours 56 mins
So precise, I almost expect them to come out with an update that gives you the time right down to the amount of seconds! Haha.
Wow, not only am I flattered that you hold my port in high esteem - but you chose one of my all time favourite images I've ever done to date. I keep telling everyone I wish I had a poster of it to hang in my house and tell everyone "Yeah, that creepy ass picture is me. Hot, right?"
I did not neet to open your portfolio to know my answer. I have seen your work enough times before to know that all opening your port one more time would do is leave me grumbleing and muttering that I exist in a world outside of which you travel.
OK, I am not really that weird but really, your work is fantastic and I have more ideas for images I would love to shoot with you than I would know what to do with.
This image just jumps off the page for me: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29989821
OK- so I was not so excited to dive into your portfolio at first glance of your avatar- and figured it was going to be a meh experience. But then when I got indside I had a change of heart. There are some great images in your port! I will say that I like your non nude work more than your nude- as it is more expressive and dynamic. I see some great lighting and composition around your page.
I will go with fantastic.
THis image stood out for me: http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28810089
Yeah- I would hang that up in my house if I shot it/was in it!
Oh, and I just remembered my partner and I are going out to Syracuse area to visit a good friend of ours at some point in the not so distant future... just sayin

I just did 3 effortless singles with 650 today at the gym on my pull cycle prep'n for a meet in february. I wanted to go heavier but wanted to still keep with what's working and not push it. Those were the easiest singles I've ever done at any bodyweight with 650. I just stood straight up with out any hesitation.

Good Questions: Suggestions for this Bedroom?
Hi! I need some help with my bedroom. I'm part way to getting it the way I want it, but I'm having organization (and stark wall) issues. My husband just moved in a month ago, and while there was plenty of space for my stuff, the addition of his stuff has made things a little cramped. Could you guys take a look at the room and shoot me some ideas as to what I can do to make it tolerable? Any comments would be great! I can't paint the walls because it's a rental, so that's out, but any ideas would be great. -Alex P.S. The side tables and dresser are Ikea Hemnes. More pictures after the jump...
First, we'd get rid of some STUFF — it always makes us feel better about our space. Any other suggestions?
35 Comments
i have one of those extra clothes rods that hangs from the original clothes rod. my husband's stuff is on top and mine is below. we get double the hanging space. my closet is about your size - it's a bit small for 2 people :)
another thing we did is buy a captains bed. but you can just use storage boxes that go under the bed.
Get rid of the husband? Just kidding ;)
I would suggest moving the tall purple cabinet to the wall beside the closet, and paring down on the items you display on it's shelves. It looks like you have a little vanity arrangement beside the rad - could this not go onto the main surface of the tall cabinet? You may have to remove the cabinet doors to do this for leg room. Clearing out the area where the trunk and vanity reside would make the space look less cluttered. Perhaps the truck can sit at the foot of the bed and as need be, it can be used as a seat at the newly placed vanity?
I would remove the gry piece (it doesn't seem to fit the other stuff in the room and is a poor waste of space), and put the pine piece against the wall next to the closet.
I would put several long floating shelves on the larger newly emptied wall. I would not center them, or make them symmetrical, as it would be too rigid. The floating wall can accomodate those books and photo frames in the grey piece.
I'd try to pur the stand alone oragnizer thing on the right side of the bed into the closet. Better to be hidden - it's not a particularly pretty piece.
And finally the chest needs to go to the foot of the bed.
gray, not gry.
just as a visual trick, how about changing the bedspread to something light and airy, maybe white? and perhaps consolidate the palette among the hutch, dresser and bedside tables? right now it seems as if you have great pieces to store your stuff, but the room lacks cohesion. i would suggest going with lighter colors than black and red because it will give the bedroom a lighter, more open look as well has unify the palette.
Go to anthropologie and buy new hardware for the dresser/night stands.
And ARTWORK, ARTWORK, ARTWORK! For something inexpensive, why not print out the freebee posters we were linked to yesterday? http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/chicago/artwork/five-poster-designs-inspired-by-the-great-depression-free-downloads-from-readymade-magazine-071657
Also (and I'm sure most would agree). Try organizing the closet/bookshelf and organizing--it does wonders!
And I disagree with kanyonyc. I think the blue piece of furniture is nice. It's def. in the wrong place, but I wouldn't say it isn't pretty--the color is great!
*I meant try organizing and CLEANING. :)
Ikea has shoe cabinets that you can mount to the wall. I saw someone who used them as laundry storage - this could be good for the empty space on your closet wall. Then you may be able to move one of the chests out (I'd say the purple/gray one - as it doesn't seem to hold anything pertinent to the bedroom).
Something like this:
It looks like there isn't a lot of room on either side of your bed, so you may think about decluttering either side or pushing the bed up against the wall.
Hope that helps!
p.s. the truck would look nice at the foot of the bed, if you have room there.
You've got space galore, you're just not using it effectively-- the bare wall that now sports the puny wood chest and storage bin could instead support a big wall-mounted shelving system, which could be tailored to your exact storage needs (books? on shelves. Socks or accessories? in attractive storage boxes on shelves. Computer? desk-level shelf.)
If you're in NYC, there's the Shelf Shop on 70th St. Poor? Container Store. Cheap do-it-yourselfer? Buy the mounting hardware then have lumber shelves cut at your local lumber shop, then finish the wood yourself.
When you move, just disassemble and spackle over the holes.
The bookshelf isn't doing much to help you organize your clothing - I'd consider putting it on Craigslist and starting anew. I'd would invest in some matching furniture - whether it be aligning to one color family of ikea furniture items, or picking up a newer, higher quality bedroom set all together.
I'd also invest in some decor balancing curtains for the windows, as well as art for the walls.
replace the dresser and bookcase with a pax wardrobe system from ikea, then move the bed so the foot faces the pax.
I'd start by removing the items on the wall where the little trunk is...and replacing everything with the bookshelf unit. Maybe all of that stuff could be stowed away someplace else. I'd go thru everything, including the little 3-drawer unit, and ask myself if I really need to keep those items in the room, and maybe you can edit out a lot of your things. I'd replace the blinds with Roman shades in red, maybe.
For now paint is not the issue.
However, you can paint in NYC rentals.
If you are rent stabilized you're entitled to have the landlord paint every three years!
Matcahing furnitrue that is utilerian and holds clothes and hides all your stuff.
~Only antiques /vitage looks nice when they don't match.
~Get rid of the canvas draws
Get rid of the decorative shelf you keep all the family photo that is the biggest waste of furniture usage.
I would move the bed away from the window wall and see how it looks elsewhere.
This is too hard to do without dimensions of each wall.
I agree with kristykreem about her placement ideas.. Ikea has several great wardrobe options that you can customize to fit all your clothing and little do-dads in. If you get that, you probably don't need the dresser, so sell it or move it to another room.
I really like the purple bookshelf, so I wouldn't get rid of it if you like it. You could move it between the closet and door. But I would tak down the pictures cuz it makes it look cluttered. Instead, hang multiple frames on the wall in a more orderly manner or buy one frame with room for lots of pics (there are tons of options and walmart and target).
You definitely need to get some color on the walls. How about some curtains on those windows. A really light purple since you already have some purple in the room or maybe a gold to match the pillows.
Put that little drawer thing by the trunk in the closet. What's the trunk for? Do you really need it? It might be a good time for both of you to go through your stuff and get rid of stuff you should have years ago.
I think the biggest visual help would be to change your bedspread to white and decrease your pillow collection. The printed colorful pillows are beautiful, and if everything else on the bed was white, it would really showcase these. (Also, getting rid of the red bedding would draw the eye to the art above the bed, making a nice focal point, rather than the bed itself.)
Get rid of (or move to a different room) all furniture except for the bed, nightstands and wood dresser. Move the wood dresser to the wall opposite the bed and declutter the top of it.
For organization: utilize under the bed, add an over-the-door shoe rack to the inside door of your closet (not just for shoes--but socks, paperclips, whatever), and consider adding a high shelf that goes around the perimeter of your room (about a foot from the ceiling, all around). This could house books, baskets of out of season clothing, etc.
Post pictures when you're done! Good luck!
1) go through and purge both of your wardrobes. It's amazing how many boxes you can send to the goodwill full of stuff that you don't wear or doesn't fit, and toss anything that is too worn to donate. Be brutal.
2) Put away clothes that you don't wear in this season. Under the bed storage is good if you can manage it.
3) Add hooks over the door, facing inward to catch your coats, belts, and robes and such
4) If you have storage space anywhere else in your house, use that to store what's in your closet that doesn't need to be in your bedroom, so that you can add a laundry hamper on the closet floor.
5) get rid of/hide the ikea storage thingy
6) organize your bookshelves and pictures, putting the pictures in front of the books makes it feel cluttered and stressful, also pare down what's on top of the dresser.
7) move the trunk to the end of the bed if you can, and then put the tall bookshelf on one wall, and the dresser on the opposite wall to balance the room a little more.
8) soft floor to ceiling sheers over the windows can break up the white wall color, hide the miniblinds, and maybe pull together some of the color issues you have going on.
9) consider a softer color palette for your bed. Maybe a mix of purple, browns, greys, with greens or reds for a small accent. The pink/red makes the bed seem overwhelming and paired with the purple comes accross really girly. Since you're trying to incorporate a new husband it might be a good chance to bring a bit of him into the bedroom and unify your palette at the same time.
10) You've got some ethnic flavors in your room, maybe find a large pretty map for the wall at the end of your bed? They're inexpensive and cover a lot of space when you can't paint or afford a lot of art. They even look good unframed.
11) I'd get a few prints framed and hung, maybe one (or three) above the brown dresser on one wall, and one on each side of the bookshelf on the opposite wall.
You could make some extra space around the bed by exchanging the bedside tables for reading lights mounted on the wall above the headboard and perhaps a shelf running between them.
I'd buy a set of bed risers:
and take advantage of under-bed storage possibilities. Something like this:
I'd pick up another Hemnes dresser and place it where the blue shelving unit currently resides. Then I'd scan Etsy for cute prints and artwork to hang above the dressers. Similar frames will create a unified look.
If you're still in need of storage space, then a pax-like wardrobe on the wall where you have the trunk could work. That said, it might make the space feel cramped. So a trio of floating shelves for books and such would be better.
I'd move the trunk to the foot of the bed, and possibly place a tall mirror against the wall to the left of the closet to create the illusion of space. Try:
Finally, I'd replace the metal blinds with light, airy sheers (that can be mounted easily with tension rods) and go with a white bedspread and fewer pillows to create lightness around the bed. Good luck!
I definitely agree with the first suggestion. I did the same thing myself on the cheap with an old curtain rod and some twine that supports in on either end and in the middle.
I guess as lot of it depends how long you plan to stay here..
Neaten up the bookshelves. You can maximise the space by stacking books on their side to rise vertically and get some closed storage boxes on the shelf. Can you give away some books, or if the situation is temporary put some stuff in storage for a while? Can you move the bookshelves out to other parts of the house?
Another good option is hooks on the wall, or if you really are adverse to putting anything in the walls (Spackling is easy though) how about a back of the door hook thing...I have one inside my closet also for scarves, belts and accessories.
You could paint the pine dresser to match the bookshelf to unify on the cheap - sand, prime, sand, paint, sand, paint.
If its possible I would put the storage trunk at the end of the bed and put a slim unit of some kind along that wall. A narrow metro shelving unit can be configured with closely spaced shelved on the bottom for shoes, and more open shelves for folded clothes, or storage boxes. or you could get the a waist height expedit type shelving unit, and put some storage boxes in for hiding things, stand a mirror on it and set up your hair/make up area - and then place the thing thats currently holding your hair make up in the closet under the current rack of clothes?
Lots of random thoughts..good luck!
I recently added curtains to my bedroom (with similar window placement) and I can't believe what a difference they make. The ceiling looks taller, and I got the color the room needed (we can't paint either).
I would go the sleek, simple route and just get a nice big wardrobe unit that you can set against one wall:
You can trick it out with drawers so you won't need the dresser anymore.
I'd also suggest editing down the number of pillows on your bed and knicknacks on the shelves. Why not blow up some of your photos, put them in coordinating frames and hang them on the walls? I live in a small space, too, and I've found that you should take advantage of whatever you can hang on the walls or put on a wall shelf. It really helps cut down on the clutter.
I also agree with the commenters who recommended going for a lighter coloured bed spread, or, if you really crave colour, using something with a simple and bold graphic element, like this:
Good luck! I hope you'll send photos of what you come up with. I love seeing how people tackle the small space/two people conundrum as I'm going through that myself!
1) Get at least two of the pieces of furniture to match. I would paint the bookshelf black to match the night stands.
2) That night stand on the right side of the bed? The door opens out the wrong way. It should be simple enough to flip it around....it's Ikea after all.
3) Move the bookshelf. Next to the dresser, the proportions look all wrong. You could try placing it between the bedroom and closet doors. Or, if you move the bed, it can go between the windows.
3.1) That bookshelf would make a great spot for the tv/laptop/stereo system, esp. if in a spot where you could watch from in bed.
4) Simplify the color scheme! Nix the purple and pink. Go with maybe:
light gray yellow white black.
Or, white green black natural/wood accents.
Or, turquoise cream white black.
5) Perhaps move the bed so that the head is against the empty wall.
6) The bed looks bloated and heavy next to the dainty lamps and nightstands. Fewer big fluffy humungous pillows. Add a well-defined headboard.
7) Curtain! Light, airy curtains!
8) Almost forgot...Separate clothing storage spaces for you and him.
1. Move the bed, so that its head is along the wall where your dresser and bookshelf now stand. Move the bed right up to the wall with the windows, leaving about 3-4 inches for long curtains to hang.
2. put up a couple of long wall shelves above the bed, high enough not to hit your head (about 4 ft), and put your pictures and books on those. You can put books and boxes on the shelves, and hang the frames in between shelves and bed.
3. Put the bedside tables side by side between the newly positioned bed and closet door. You can use the surface area for a reading lamp, knickknacks, catchalls, lidded baskets. I use a short Ikea dresser as our bedside table, and we like that better than a bedside table with limited storage space.
4. Your key move should be 'add height' to anything and everything in a small rented space. Anything you buy now should be sturdy, removable and pleasing, things you can keep or recover some money on by selling. To that end, do the following:
(a) as other readers have suggested, add long curtains, semi-sheer or in open-weave fabrics like linen which let light through while preserving privacy. Use soft colors that will go with a variety of bedspreads.
5. If you want to keep the Ikea set of drawers (I have a taller one) you'll either have to put it elsewhere or drape its sides completely to hide the metal. If you MUST use it, get the platic drawers for it. they look better.
If you can part with it, DO, and get something in wood, like a tallboy (narrow but with plenty of drawers).
6. Get risers for your bed. Get canvas storage totes in short and long (Bed Bath and Beyond has sets with cedar panel inserts), and keep bedding, linen, extra clothes and rarely used personal items under the bed. I don't recommend plastic versions; they tear more easily than canvas, and I don't like the smell of some plastic when it gets into my stuff. You also get under-bed rolling storage in wood (I know Pottery Barn used to have them; you can probably get them elsewhere for cheaper). Under-bed shoe storage is also available.
7. Get baskets, boxes and lidded totes (Ikea, Crate and Barrel, and your local thrift stores will all have them) for small stuff that you don't want to lose. Label and stack, even on the floor in a tall tower, if need be. Use one or two on your bookshelf (on the very top, above it) to keep things you don't need all the time. I keep 2 on my bookshelf for different things--cords, sketching supplies, stationery, receipts.
Boxes like these will also add the illusion of more 'shelves' to your bookshelf, whose long gaps between shelves isn't helping your space vs. usefulness issue any. Add a box, lay books on their side on top.
Also get sturdy metal bookends, and use them to hold books on bookshelf, on top of said shelf, on top of over-the-bed shelves, on dresser.
8. Over the door hooks for closet.
9. Dresser and trunk can go on wall between door and closet.
10. If you can't get rid of the trunk, consider stacking trunks.
11.A small wall-mounted mirror above dresser, and a small shelf with safety rim below it for your vanity needs.
12. You will still have the entire wall along the radiator to play with. Use that for the bookshelf (keep one of the bedside lamps on it) and to get a small chair, if you have space. You'll have a reading nook and a thing-to-throw-stuff-on-object.
I'd advise you to keep away from the red-purple combo. Get a different bedspread if you don't want to have to paint or distress your bookshelf. Nothing against color, or personal taste, just that with small rooms, one splash of color is often enough to enliven the ethos.
Good luck!
I'm going to be brief. Personally, I like the orange/red bedcover and pillows and the lavendar walls, but I've never yet met a man who would willingly live with such a color scheme.
This is what I would do. I would strip everything out of the closet and off the bookshelves and off the walls, and strip the bed while I was at it. I would sew a simple bed cover in a dove gray, which will go fine with the lavendar. I would make or buy two pillowcases with muted lavendar/dove gray stripes.
I would hang simple silvery silk curtains at the windows.
Everything I have thrown in the hallway to get this far, I would review with a cold eye. To get back in the room, an item has to be useful or attractive. The extra pillows, begone! Everything else that you no longer need -- off to Goodwill! The photos would receive a careful examination. Duplicative photos would be quietly tucked into a drawer. I'd consider the fact that these hard times have lead to unbelievable sales, and choose a number of photos I wanted to keep, and then buy frames that coordinated with one another. You won't find a better time to do this than now.
The books could be arranged in a fashion that makes the most sense to you intellectually. But get a few book-ends to help them stand up straight if you're not filling the shelf end to end.
If you take these few steps, you'll find that the bedroom suddenly seems more peaceful, welcoming and pulled-together.
Good luck!
First thing you should do is invest in an armoire. You would get extra space hanging space for clothes and probably at least two more drawers for clothing. I'd put the armoire in between the closet and bedroom doors. Make the bookshelf into a new vanity using the main area...it would look good where it is with a nice small chair - you could store books you like to read at night on the upper shelves along with some pictures. Put the trunk at the end of the bed. Also, curtains also help. As for a color scheme, go towards light and airy - light tans, creams, etc. In my honest opinion, I'd paint all the furniture in a cream color (maybe leaning a little more towards yellow). The trunk could stay the same color as one dark piece to anchor the entire room.
That is a pillow-intensive bed! Hanging the wall art a bit higher would look more balanced.
I'd frame the head of the bed and the windows with curtains all the way across - to give it the sense of almost a really big headboard (you might consider getting a real headboard, too - but curtains will def do the trick till you're ready for that). Anthropologie has tons of really interesting curtains. Restoration Hardware has great Velvet curtains that are pretty and on sale right now (and pretty useful for the winter).
Good luck! And congrats on the hubby moving in!
1.) Get rid of gray / light purple looking thing.
2.) Co-ordinate picture frames by color, get rid of 70% of your books / knick knacks
3.) Get shorter side tables and or lamps.
4.) Black lamp shades
5.) Lower wattage light bulbs.
6.) Move Dresser unit to opposite wall, and push bed closer to wall.
7.) Go to the container store for things like under bed storage, space bags (amazing), Shelves for books (clear Umbra ones)
8.) Get some huge mirrors to make your room look bigger
There is a pretty cool room planner online - http://beta.floorplanner.com/. Measure every piece of furniture you want to keep in the room - then try to fit things in. You can keep rearranging until you get the layout you love - it's better than moving furniture around over and over. I used it to layout my entire apartment before I moved into it.
Nothing seems to match in my eyes.
First: Declutter (waaaay too much going on in the bookshelves)
Second: I'd paint the furniture!
Hey guys, these are all some great suggestions! I'm in the middle of doing some of the changes. It might take a little while due to budget constraint, but I'll definitely post pics as I go along. I'm in the process of painting the dresser black/brown to match the side tables. I bought a hemnes mirror. And I bought a roman blind to put on the bookcase to cover up the books (see below).
Here are some responses to a few comments (sorry if they're blunt :-P):
Small Canvas/Metal set of drawers...I need it for beauty supplies but I can store in the closet. I just found out husband can purge some of his stuff...yes! Just have to wait for him to start cleaning it out ::ahem:: But for now stuff is on the floor in the meantime.
Over the door hooks...right now the closet has over the door hooks for the shoes but we leave the closet open because it won't close with those. I'll look into some of the suggestions people posted about boxes and closet units.
Trunk I store linens in so I don't want to get rid of it right now. But it could definitely be moved.
We have a closet in the hall, but a lot of it is full of photo equipment, coats, suitcases (separated by a shelf which has filing equipment, craft supplies, iron, etc).
My husband likes to sleep on the outside, and so do I, and both of us feel claustrophobic when we're on inside. I've tried the bed against the wall and it just doesn't work.
Agree that some things need to be moved around and I could possibly get rid of the bookshelf, but right now can't afford $500 storage units (yet). For the time being, I have to make due with what I have as far as furniture and either paint it, move it, or work with it. I don't want to part with the books because some are photo books (expensive), some are husband's books, some are, novels. I've already gone through my stuff over and over to get rid of things, but if I know I'll use them again I don't want to get rid of them because that's a waste of money.
I did buy a roman blind that I'm going to try to install and maybe some blinds (still don't know where I'm going with it, but the consensus on these comments seems to be do something with the books).
Thanks again, everyone! I'll update you on how it all goes.
I would try (if there is room) to put the bed where the purple bookshelf and dresser are and put the purple bookshelf in between the windows. Get some airy curtains from IKEA (super cheap!) and pain the dresser black.
On the bookshelf, I would try stacking some of them on top of each other instead of the traditional way of putting books on a shelf. That might help create more room for your frames. You could also put some of the cool photo books stacked under the lamps on the side tables...

Chapter Sixty Seven - The Morning After2 Reviews
"I may have slept with Acid." Poison felt the weight from his shoulders being lifted as he confessed what he'd done.
Chapter Sixty Seven - The Morning After
Acid had to have been dreaming, she was sure of it. What happened the night before, it couldn't have been real. She was almost one hundred percent sure of it. There was no way it actually happened.
She was about to get up and off the blanket she'd been sleeping on, but she felt someone's warm breath on the back of her neck and an arm wrapped around her waist. She had to tell herself the dream couldn't have been reality. There was no way Poison would have sex with her, not when he'd been the one who told her them being together would've just messed things up even more. Then again, when they'd been kissing he told her that he wanted more, that he didn't want to stop.
She moved slightly and realized that she wasn't wearing any traces of clothing on her pale body. She was in nothing but her birthday suit and the body next to her seemed to be the same.
Acid turned around slightly to see a mass of bright red hair covering Poison's peacefully sleeping face. The blankets covered the lower half of his body, however she was sure that he was naked too.
She momentarily stopped breathing. Holy shit, we slept together, she thought.
Acid got off the blanket and started picking up her clothes, which had clearly been carelessly torn off her body and then randomly shoved to the side.
She was almost fully clothed when Poison woke up.
"Hey." He said, sitting up slightly.
She turned around. "Hey."
There was an extremely awkward pause of silence before Poison decided to speak again.
"So last night we . . ." He trailed off.
"Yeah, I guess we did." Her body was still slightly sore, but since she'd not had sex in five years she understood why. Poison wasn't exactly gentle with her the previous night, but then again, when they were together she wasn't exactly gentle with him either. They wouldn't hurt each other, they just didn't usually take it slowly when it came to sex.
Acid picked up some of his clothes and threw his shirt, boxers and jeans to him.
"Thanks." He muttered, pulling his shirt over his head.
Acid started doing the laces on her boots when she spoke. "Look, what we did . . . it can't happen again."
"Trust me, I know. It's too fuckin' awkward right now."
She smiled a little. "Yeah, it is . . . but speaking of last night, I know it was partly my fault so I'm sorry for that."
"Ace, you don't have to apologize. It's not like I stopped it from happening and it was fucking amazing, it really was, but back to what you said before, it can't happen again."
"I'm glad we agree."
She stood up and searched for her jacket, but Poison saw the black and blue blotches on her neck.
"Fuck." He muttered.
"What's wrong?"
"Your neck's covered in hickies."
Her hand reached up to touch her neck, it felt a little sore, but she didn't think he'd left any bruises.
She looked around for a mirror to inspect the damage and found a small, shattered one in the corner of the room.
She thought he'd mean just a few little bruises, but she was wrong. Incredibly wrong. The bruises weren't all that small and there were lots of the purple blotches scattered on her neck.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I don't even remember kissing your neck that much."
"Neither do I. I've not left any on you, right?"
She inspected his neck, only finding two little lovebites near his collarbone and one just under his ear.
"You've got three little ones."
He looked it the mirror. "That should be fine. I've had much worse. You can have my scarf to cover them up, by the way. If people saw them, they'd ask questions."
"Okay, thanks."
She tied Poison's scarf around her bruised and bitten neck until the damage was no longer visible.
She swiftly turned around, accidentally bumping into Poison.
He laughed slightly. "Careful."
She smiled back, blushing a little because of her clumsy move.
After a few hours of awkward silence, Kobra and Death picked up Acid and Poison in Acid's car.
The second Death's eyes locked with her sister's, she knew something was wrong. Acid had a look of guilt in her eyes, her arms were folded across her chest and her whole body language screamed she was extremely uncomfortable.
Death was dying to ask her what was wrong, what'd happened between her sister and Poison, but with both Poison and Kobra in the car, she gathered it wouldn't be the best the place to ask her.
Poison and Kobra temporarily left the car to attach the Trans Am to the back of Acid's car. While they were alone, Death took advantage.
"What happened?" She whispered.
Acid huffed. "I don't want to talk about it right now."
"But something happened, right?"
"Yes." Acid said bluntly.
"Just tell me what it is quick while they're distracted. Did you fight again?"
"Kinda, but that's not what I feel fucking dirty about."
Death eyed her sister up and down for a moment then noticed that Poison's bandana was wrapped around Acid's neck.
"Lexia, why are you wearing Poison's bandana?" Death asked wearily.
"No reason. I just want to." Her lie was awful and clearly fake. Her sister rarely wore bandanas. The last time she remembered Acid wearing one was when her neck was covered in hickies. Death put two and two together.
"Acid . . . You and Poison slept together last night, didn't you?"
Acid paused, almost ashamed of what'd happened the previous night. "I'm not fucking proud of it."
"Oh my god, seriously?! He's not seen Pheonix in a while so he decides he doesn't want to keep it in his pants."
"That really makes me feel less cheap and dirty, thanks Death." The sarcasm in her voice was rich.
"Why the fuck do you feel cheap and dirty?"
"Isn't in obvious? That was my first ever one night stand and I don't just fuck people like that. I'm not judging if anyone who does have one night stands, but fuck, I can't say how fucking weird and dirty I feel right now."
They were silenced when Kobra and Poison waltzed back into the car. Death sat next to her sister in the back of the car while Poison and Kobra stayed in the front. Death couldn't help but throw mental daggers at Poison with her eyes. He'd made her sister feel 'cheap and dirty', as Acid put it. While she understood Acid didn't stop Poison, anyone who made her flesh and blood feel like crap automatically earned death glares from her.
Once the glares had gone beyond scary, Acid nudged her then mouthed, "Cut it out."
Death rolled her eyes.
"So . . . Bandit missed you guys." Kobra attempted to break the atmosphere.
"Is she okay?"
"She's just fine. She's been hanging around Lo's kid, Willow, a lot lately."
"Willow seems like a sweet kid, but I kinda wish Lo'd just leave." Death answered them with her honest opinion.
"What? Why?" Poison was confused. Lo was a nice person, he thought Death liked her.
"Well, ever since she came back, Ghoul's been worried. We all know how much he loved her, but he's trying to move on with Violet. Having Lo around . . . I'm not sure if it's doing him any good." While Death spoke, her eyes were completely focused on her sister, making Acid feel like she was talking about her, Curse and Poison rather than Ghoul, Violet and Lo. "I mean, I want him to have whatever, or whoever, is gonna make him happy. But having said that, Violet seems better for him."
"I need to talk to him about this shit, he's not talking about it to us." Kobra confessed.
"He isn't?"
"No. Why, is what you just said what he told you?"
"Partly, Ghoul told me he still has feelings for Lo but he wants to be with Violet."
Acid never realized just how similar her situation with Poison and Curse was to Ghoul's situation with Violet and Lo. She made a mental note to talk to him later about it, she felt he'd understand where she was coming from and vice versa.
When they arrived back and the diner and after Acid and Poison spent a few hours with their daughter, Death managed to get her sister alone to really talk about what'd happened the previous night.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Death asked Acid in Death's cramped and messy bedroom.
"I don't know. Right now, it just feels like I had some sort of weird dream last night and it didn't really happen. If I talk about it . . . I don't know if it'll feel more real."
"You don't have to, but if you want to, I'm here for you. You know I am."
She sighed. "I'm just confused. Some days,I think I know what I want. For instance, a few days ago I knew I wanted to be with Curse officially. Then stuff like this happens with Poison and fucks over what I want completely and replaces it with confusion."
"Do you love him?"
"Poison or Curse?"
"Both, I guess."
"I loved Poison. I loved him for a very long time. I don't know if some of that love is still alive. With Curse, I think there's potential for love in the future."
"You wanna know what I think?" She nodded. "I think you should stay clear of a relationship for the moment. You're very very obviously confused with your feelings for them. I say take a few steps back, clear your head then figure out what you want. I know I'm no relationship expert or anything, but that's what I'd do in your situation."
"Thank you." She hugged her sister tightly. "I love you, Death. I know my feelings are fucked up when it comes to romantic relationships, but how I feel for you and Bandit hasn't ever changed. I still love you both more than anything. You know that, right?"
"Of course I know that. I never forgot it, Ace. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Anyways, let's move on from this. I think we need to discuss how we're gonna get Andy into the Zones. He needs to get here soon, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. He does."
After Poison put his daughter to bed, he strolled into Ghoul's room and sat down on the mattress with him.
"We need to talk." Poison said.
Ghoul pretended to gasp, widening his eyes. "Uh-oh. 'We need to talk' never means a good thing. Wait you're . . . you're not breaking up with me. Are you breaking up with me, Poison?"
Poison chuckled. "I'm serious. I wanna talk."
"I'm all ears, buddy."
"Can you keep a secret?"
"I may have slept with Acid." Poison felt the weight from his shoulders being lifted as he confessed what he'd done.
Ghoul paused. "You're kidding me, right?"
"I wish I was."
"Y-you and Acid? I thought she was with Curse."
"They're not officially together, she doesn't know what she wants and I think I just fucked it up even more for her." Poison felt guilt running through him at the thought of both hurting and confusing her. He never intended on doing either of those things to her, they just got caught up in the heat of the moment together.
"So you're not together now?"
"No. It was a one time thing, but . . . I don't think I want it to be a one time thing."
"So you wanna get back together with her?"
"Yes and no. I want to be with her, I just don't want the complicated drama that always comes with it. I figured since you're kinda going through something similar with Violet and Lo, you could give some advice maybe?"
"Figure out what you want for sure. While I'm not sure if there are still some feelings for Lo, it doesn't matter to me if there are. Right now, I'm with Violet. I gave it a shot with Lo and it didn't work out. As far as I'm concerned, Lo's my past and Violet's my future."
"That was a little corny."
"Yeah, it really was." They both chuckled. "But seriously, you need to talk it out with her, you need to figure out what you both want."
He nodded. "Thanks, man. I appreciate it."
"Not a problem."
"So, how you holding up with the whole Lo thing?"
He nodded. "I'm dealing with it I guess. It's just awkward since Jeremy's really missed her and we both know she's probably not gonna stick around here for too long. I just don't want him to get too attached again then get hurt by it all later on."
"I understand. I was the exact same way when Acid first came back. I didn't want Bandit to get too attached in case Acid went back to how she was when she was working for Better Living."
He smiled. "God, where did it all go wrong? When did our love lives get so complicated, huh?"
"Around the same time our lives got fucking complicated."
He laughed. "I know Jet's been around Lo a lot."
"Yeah. They talked about Jessey for a while, but I think they're actually becoming genuine friends now."
"Doesn't he have a thing for Light from the Killjoy Bitches?"
"Yeah, he does. I've been trying to convince him to make a move, but he seems caught up in the past. Kinda like how I was."
"I'm pretty sure she likes him too. I'll get Blondie to find out for sure, then we'll plot how to get them together."
"Like the evil geniuses we are."
"Hey, why evil geniuses?"
"'Cause you never here someone say good geniuses. It's gotta be evil, man."
"True. Well, I'd better go. Bandit'll get pissed if she wakes up and I'm not there."
"You know, you're doing a great job with her. She's a good kid, Poison."
He smiled, knowing his daughter was an absolute angel. "I know she is. I just hope she's gonna get to live in a world with no Better Living again."
"We all do, Poison. We all do."

Mid-autumn festival a.k.a Mooncake Festival: a popular harvest festival celebrated by Chinese and Vietnamese people, dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty. (Wikipedia, duh.)
The labour-intensity of mooncake-making has taken all the energy out of me. My 2 aunts and I must have made > 100 mooncakes today.
Mooncakes always bring back fond memories. Back in the day, my aunt used to sell mooncakes. I remember how the house would be transformed into a mooncake factory. Rows and rows of mooncakes were piled high on makeshift shelves. In the first few days of the mooncake making mayhem, the aroma would attract you. Soon, the attraction would turn into nostril-assault and finally, your sense of smell would be so over-stimulated that they no longer responded to anything mooncake-related. I can also remember the pain of accidentally driving staplers through my thumb while fastening plastic boxes due for delivery. Yeowch.
In case I'm making it sound like all work(/pain) and no play, I must set the record straight and tell you that the kids' efforts were always rewarded with a generous meal after the festival. Having said that, the most tangible manifestation of the hard work was the new pieces of jewelery added to aunt's collection annually. Yup, 'nuff said.
Sweet & Sour Fish
Day 2 in Stavanger was spent making an arduous journey up Pulpit Rock. It was physically challenging but the view from the peak was priceless. I had a great time marveling at Creation's beauty.
The first of our Chinese meals started with sweet and sour fish. I wish I knew the exact amount of ingredients used, but we all know that agar-agar (english translation: approximation) is the modus operandi in home cooking.
Tomato ketchup, a little dark vinegar, a little sugar, a little water, a lot of love…Yum. It was fun cooking with Mom and Aunty Jeannie despite us bickering about how the sauce should taste. That night, we made two batches of sauce. Aunty Jeannie and I like our sauce a little sweeter, Mom favours something more acidic. Since I was already given the task of frying the fish, I swiftly ejected myself from the competition discussion. Mom's prevailed. Sigh, women.
Today, I decided to make non-triangular wantons.

Another Valentino cocktail dress from the spring 2011 ready to wear runway show. I like this dress a lot. It reminds me of the spring/summer time with the style and color of the dress. From a distance it looks quite simple but up close you can see the detail in the pleating. The white part of the dress is lace while the yellow part of the dress is silk.
Young popular actress Scarlett Johansson wearing a beautiful floor length, lace dress in wine. This dress is gorgeous and I love everything about it. I think Scarlett wore this dress very well with few accessories and simple hair to really draw attention to the dress. The dress is Dolce and Gabbana and was worn to this years Oscars.
These black patent leather, peep toe Dolce & Gabbana heels with a bow in the back are adorable. The lace is placed over a nude colored ribbon that comes up both sides of the back of the heel which then leaves you with a nice bow in the back. This shoe is elegant and classy. I think this is more of a formal shoe that would look best paired with a LBD (little black dress) or something else pretty simple to make the bow stand out.
This Valentino cocktail dress is very sexy. The top is all lace with leather trim and a leather bottom tied with a lace bow at the waist. This dress cost about $ 3,980.00. I love the lace and leather combination. It makes it sort of edgy but still girly. This look was shown on the spring 2011 ready to wear show.

As others before me have said:
Auto-Profit is one of the best mods out there. Walk up to vendor, hit the Auto-Profit button and your greys are cleared out.
Auctioneer has more than paid for the time it takes to scan the AH. Scan mid-week and on the weekend and whenever you get new goodies to pop onto the AH, just drop it in the AH and Auctioneer sets it to fair market value. No more price checks on /2 or checking wowhead, thottbot, or with your guildies for how much it should go for.
MobInfo-2 is another good add-on. It keeps track of what has been dropping off of mobs and what % chance you've shown of getting those items thus far. This is great for farming sellables as it helps you find mobs that have a decent drop rate for good items. Also, if you're in the Auction House and want something, if you've ever gotten it from a drop (since MobInfo-2 has been installed), the mouse-over will tell you what mob dropped it.

Report: Elizabeth Warren for president in 2016?By Susan Davis, USA Today

Supreme Court Will Take Up Controversial Obamacare Provision On ContraceptionBy Pete Williams, NBC News
The Supreme Court, taking up a controversial provision of Obamacare, agreed Tuesday to consider whether a company can refuse to provide contraceptive care to female employees on the grounds that doing so would violate its religious freedom.Read more
Obama Meets With Entertainment CEOs in Calif.By Alexis Simendinger, Real Clear Politics
As speeches go, President Obama's appearance in California on Tuesday was a testament to remakes, or perhaps politically expedient recycling. Speaking in a courtyard to an estimated 1,800 DreamWorks Animation guests and employees in Glendale, the president delivered what the White House billed as an economic address, squeezed between fundraisers held in two states over two days.Read more
Appointmentpalooza in the Senate? Don't Bet on ItBy Molly Ball, The Atlantic
There are 231 presidential nominations waiting to be confirmed by the Senate. Now that Democrats have changed the filibuster rules—last week's invocation of the "nuclear option"—those are all going to sail through, right? The Senate will be one non-stop confirmation party until every federal judicial chamber, Cabinet-agency desk, ambassadorship, and oversight board is occupied by a liberal Obama appointee! Flowers will bloom and music will play in the Capitol as Harry Reid presents "Appointmentpalooza"!Read more
Iran Sanctions: Dancing with TehranBy Doyle McManus, LA Times
If economic sanctions were key to forcing Iran to accept limits on its nuclear program, wouldn't more sanctions have an even greater effect? Critics of last week's interim nuclear deal with Tehran certainly think so.Read more
In a Time of Need, the Vice President Plays to His StrengthsBy Jackie Calmes, New York Times
Speaking to longshoremen, local politicians and health care activists last week in Houston, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. variously quoted his grandfather Ambrose Finnegan, his father, Joe Sr., and the poet William Butler Yeats. "Joey," he recalled his grandfather hollering, "keep the faith!"Read more

Among American Workers, Poll Finds Unprecedented Anxiety About Jobs, EconomyBy Jim Tankersley and Scott Clement, Washington Post
The alarm rang on John Stewart's phone at 1:10 a.m. Up at 1:30, he caught one bus north into Philadelphia a little after 2 and another bus, south toward the airport, half an hour after that. He made it into work around 3:25 for a shift that started at 4, for a job that pays $5.25 an hour, which he cannot afford to lose.Read more
Long Road Ahead For Permanent Iran Nuclear Deal To Be ReachedWith Tom Gjelten, NPR
The Obama administration says one of the most important gains in the Iran nuclear deal is that it will buy time for negotiations on a more permanent agreement. If no such agreement is reached, sanctions that have been suspended could be re-imposed. But analysts say the obstacles to a final agreement are still huge, and it may not be easy to regain the leverage that sanctions have achieved so far.Listen here

Fla. Special Election May Showcase 'Obamacare' EffectBy Susan Davis, USA Today
A special election for a vacant House seat in Florida is shaping up as an early bellwether race that may indicate how President Obama's health care law is going to affect the 2014 elections.Read more
Obama Nightly Reading Reveals Angst About Health-Site FixBy Mike Dorning & Julianna Goldman, Bloomberg News
During the day, Jeffrey Zients drives around Washington's Beltway, overseeing the private contractors and government officials racing to fix the flawed Obamacare website.
By night, President Barack Obama gets a rundown of Zients' progress from White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough during their evening stroll along the South Lawn. A fuller report follows in a briefing book Obama takes upstairs to the first-family's quarters for late-night reading.Read more

What Happened to Immigration Reform?By Molly Ball, The Atlantic
Last week, John Boehner was having breakfast at his customary spot on Capitol Hill, Pete's Diner, when he was approached by two teenage girls with a video camera. Clad in a baseball cap and fleece pullover, the speaker nervously fiddled with his ear as the pair told him of their undocumented immigrant parents' fear of deportation. "I'm trying to find a way to get this thing done," he told them. "It's, as you know, not easy. It's not going to be an easy path forward, but I've made it clear since the day after the election that it's time to get this done."

Just another day in the life of Kevin Hart
There's a knock on Lou Piniella's door.
HART - Hey Skip, d'ya have a min?
LOU - aaaah, sure kid, come on in...
HART - Thanks, Skip. I was thinking, y'know, I know that Ted's coming back soon and that me an' Wellsy are both rookies filling in the rotation, and everyone's talking about him being a Rookie of the Year, and he's good and all, but I've won three starts in a row, too...
LOU - aaaah, yep, yep, you have.
HART - ...and I'm thinkin' that I've earned a spot in the rotation, too.
LOU - aaahhh, yep, yep, sure, yer right. Aahh, I agree with you one hunner percent...
HART - (brightening) REAL-ly? Hey, great, thanks!
LOU - yep, aaaahh, sure, you've earned it, especially since you got a 1-and-oh record with 4 strikeouts in your home park...
HART - (confused, wondering to himself if some of the other guys were right, that the old man really is getting senile) Skip, you know, I've won the last two starts on this homestand...
LOU - I know, son. I meant PNC Park. Aaahh...yer a Pirate now.
HART - WHAT?!? Yer kiddin', right? A PIRATE?
LOU - Aaaah, nope, Jim traded you just a minute ago.
HART - A PIRATE? They SUCK!! Traded? Who for?
LOU - aaaaah, um, the Grabow kid for one...
HART - As WHAT? Your LOOGY? Lefties have a higher batting average against (.275 to .235) than righties! Who else?
LOU - and, aaah, the Gorzellany kid.
HART - JEEEZ! He's from Evergreen Park - he's a GAT-DAM Sox fan!!
LOU - Nah, aaah, he's the happiest human being in the world right now...
HART - well HELL yes he is, he's getting out of Pissburgh...
LOU - aaaah, well, it's more like Indianapolis for him. And he's going to Iowa.
HART - Sounds like an lateral for him. You can't get a decent pizza in either place.
LOU - ummm, well, aaah, I wouldn't know. I generally eat at Harry Caray's, and when I'm back home, ummm, in Tampa, generally we eat fish.
HART - yeah, well? I sincerely hope I make you guys HURT for this!
LOU - aaah, umm, well, son, this ain't "Little Big League". And I'm not your biggest fan, Uuuh, you're not going to get me to slump over in my chair in despair. It's nothin' personal, son. It's business.
GRABOW - (rushes into office) Hey, Skip? Hope I'm not too late gettin' here.
LOU - ummm, aaah, hello, son. We, umm, just traded for you like, aaah, seven minutes ago?
GRABOW - No prob, Skip. Pirates were off today. Me and Gorz were, um, just in town for some wings at Yak-Zies. He had to stop in the head first.
HART - I can't believe anyone here thinks this is a good thing for me, when Grabow gets here seven minutes after the trade was made. How bad could it be...?
GORZELLANY - Howdy, Skip! (Holds out hand to shake)
LOU - aaah, well hello, son. I, uhhh, hope you washed first? Since Moises Alou passed through here, we always, aah, ask.
HART - Well I, uh, gotta go, I guess. Sorry to bother you, Skip.
LOU - aaahh, umm, well, no bother at all, Hill. Good luck in Pittsburgh! (smiles) Hey, say hi to Jack Wilson for me?
GRABOW - he's in Seattle now, Skip.
LOU - well, aaahh, then Dirty Sanchez?
GORZELLANY - Frisco.
LOU - aaah, jeez, well...

Just whipped up this cannellini bean dip and carrot sticks as an afternoon snack for Shaun and I. Shaun hates garlic and I put two cloves in, so that was a bit much for him. Next time I'll just use the one. It was extra nice with some lemon juice and sprinkled with paprika and turmeric.

She bounced right off of Saturn's rings
nnnnnnnnnnnnnweaving through the stars.
She had her fill of earthly things.
Like cantelopes and cars.
She only yearned to start anew,
she only meant to try,
to do the things she couldn't do,
Like look me in the eye.
She treads the silver surface,
twinxt Jupiter and Mars,
The Ether's cold but she grows bold
and relishes the scars.
She navigates the cosmos,
with glitter in her hair,
The stardust lands,
on all her hands,
but still she doesn't care .
She won't bring back a Moonstone,
she won't bring back a rock.
She flies alone
out on her own............

It seems like those teenage years is when a young person really needs guidance.
That's what makes this hard to believe.
Some 14 year old orphans in China are put out on their own.
In Ukraine...they are kicked out at the age of 16.
an organization called "upadopted" is working to give these children a chance.
a run set for this weekend provides one way to help.
Annie Floyd is the unadopted coordinator. She says, "Unadopted is a ministry of Lifeline Children's Services and it's our ministry
to care for the kids internationally who will not get adopted.
There are more than a millions children around the world.
many of them will never be adopted.
Annie Floyd also says, "Our heart is we give opportunities to these children... Just as children have the
opportunity to be adopted we want these children to be able to have the same
opportunity. To be equipped with job skills and life skills and to be poured
into so that when they age out of the orphanage which is about 14 or 16,
They aren't put back on streets anymore but they are equipped to live life
on their own.
They go to the first thing that loves them and that's usually drugs and
This weekend at Veterans Park in Hoover... unadopted is asking you to run for one.
Krishna Yanko Lifeline Children's services
the run is run for one so when people are coming to run we are asking
me to run for one. That we serve and run for.
It is the second annual run... and the money goes to help these children stop the cycle of poverty and hopelessness.
Krisha says, "God just brought people our way, we had over a hundred people sign up.
We had over 500 total.
They r gonna run for a kid that's gonna be poured into and have love.
Our hope in our ministry is that we would be able to share Christ
through adoption and caring for the fatherless.
"We want the local churches to be the people they come to.
To love them and support them through this transition out of an orphanage.
Just as we're adopted as children of god we want them to not just b
adopted into forever families but to have an eternal family and see Christ
as their father."
And there will be lots of free food, live music and fun at veterans park ...
get there to sign up at 7 am.
