The Personal Finance Hour, Episode 4: Couples and Finances
Published on - April 13th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
I know this is late going up, but I've been running errands all morning (many of which were money-related). In just a few minutes, you can join us for the fourth episode of The Personal Finance Hour, a BlogTalkRadio program all about personal finance. I'll be co-hosting the show with Jim from Bargaineering at 3pm Pacific (6pm Eastern).
During this fourth episode, Jim and I will be discussing couples and finances. Do you keep separate finances? Have joint finances? Do you and your partner fight about money? How do you keep the peace? All this and more on today's edition of The Personal Finance Hour.
We encourage you to call with your comments or questions.
There are three ways to hear the show. You can listen through an audio feed at the show page, or you can dial the call-in number at (347) 327-9144. You can also listen through this widget:
Note that the widget always holds the archive of the most recent episode. So, right now it contains last week's episode. This afternoon, it will contain episode number four.
Jim and I intend to do this every Monday — possibly with guests! — and we hope you'll join us. We think this will be a fun way to connect with readers and to help everyone learn more about money management. Our second show was even better than the first, and we think we'll continue to improve in time.
Update! Jim tells me that we're now on iTunes! You can subscribe to The Personal Finance Hour as a weekly podcast by following this link (which will open iTunes).
This article is about Administration
I like your logo/picture. It reminds me of FDR's fireside chats. (Not that I liked FDR; I just like the old-fashioned appearance.)
- Nate
It's good to see you dealing with the issues that come up when joining two (often distinctly) different financial backgrounds.
I am so bummed I always miss this! Any chance you may do another day/time?
It is great to hear them the day after though, thanks for posting it!
Couples finances are interesting, I have more to say but I may save it for a blog post!
The podcast was really great! Wish I could have called in to the show! JD you really have a natural radio voice; great job man.
I really enjoyed the journey that both of you two shared about the in's and out's of marriage finances and was enlightened to hear that you and Kris keep separate accounts.
The part where you discuss ownership of 3/4 cats was hilarious. Now if only I could convince my fiance that I would like to only pay for 1/x amount of children. No dice I'm sure.
Anyways, great podcast! Thanks and can't wait until the next show.
I just went through a PF Hour marathon and it's great to hear the progression in your podcasts. I definitely agree with you that hearing real people's situations is a lot more interesting than theory. Keep it up!

President Abraham Lincoln
Illinois can claim the distinction of the first Senate race between two black candidates. In 2004, Barack Obama defeated Alan Keyes with 70 percent of the vote. But we've also had some uniquely racist contests. The 1858 election, which was the most famous Senate race in American history and propelled Abraham Lincoln to the presidency, featured both candidates competing over who would do the best job of keeping blacks out of Illinois, and preventing intermarriage between the races.


text: content LE Magazine December 2006 The Migraine CureBy Sergey A. Dzugan, MD, PhD II. Resetting the Pineal Gland It may only be the size of a pea, but the pineal gland, located deep in the brain, plays a major role in both the development and elimination of migraine. That is because this tiny gland is the body's primary source of melatonin, a hormone that orchestrates the body's circadian (daily) rhythm, including and especially sleep patterns. Melatonin Research findings support the idea that pineal gland irregularity, and thus melatonin imbalance, is involved in the development of migraine. Melatonin is an important piece in the migraine and sleep disturbance puzzle. Restoration of balanced pineal gland function and healthy sleep patterns are critical components in The Migraine Cure treatment program. Melatonin supplements are widely available, in grocery stores, pharmacies, health food stores, department stores, and by mail order. As part of the pineal restoration segment of The Migraine Cure, I recommend a combination product that contains melatonin (3 mg), vitamin B6, and kava kava, with one or two capsules taken at bedtime, depending on individual needs. In most cases, patients need to take melatonin for only a few months, until the pineal circadian cycle is restored. Then they may take it periodically for a few days per month or every few months if their sleep becomes disturbed. Kava Kava In addition to melatonin, we recommend kava kava as part of the restoration program for pineal function. Kava root extract, which is derived from the root of Piper methysticum, has a calming effect, promotes sleep, and relaxes deep muscles, abilities attributed to components called kavalactones. Patients who follow The Migraine Cure plan as recommended typically take melatonin and kava at the beginning of the program, but once they are migraine-free—which usually happens within two to four weeks—they can reduce their use of melatonin and kava to a minimal dose and discontinue them later, depending on how well their sleep problems have resolved. The most common side effect from kava use is mild gastrointestinal disturbances in some people. Kava has also been associated with skin rashes and enlargement of the pupils. Kava should not be combined with drugs or substances that act on the central nervous system, such as alcohol or benzodiazepines. Individuals with liver problems should not use kava. Use of kava should generally be limited to three months. Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an important part of the migraine treatment program for several reasons. When it comes to restoring pineal function, vitamin B6 is necessary for the production of serotonin, the brain neurotransmitter that has a major role in the sleep-wake cycle, chronic pain, mood, and appetite. I also recommend it because, like kava kava, it has a calming effect. The typical dose is 10-20 mg taken 30 minutes before bedtime. III. Achieving Metabolic Balance The link between migraine and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and especially between GI disorders and the gut (intestinal tract), has been confirmed by numerous studies and clinical observations. Successful elimination of migraine depends on a healthy gut, and fortunately, you have a great deal of control over that environment. One of the most important things you can do to ensure a healthy intestinal tract is to maintain a balance between friendly and unfriendly bacteria—the intestinal flora—in the gut. Friendly bacteria are those that provide health-promoting or health-maintaining properties, while the unfriendly varieties can significantly harm your health. When the balance tips in favor of the bad bacteria, the gut becomes damaged and inflamed. This condition, often called dysbiosis, is characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, abdominal pain, cramping, and bloating. As a person with migraine, when your gut feels like it is in knots—when you have symptoms of diarrhea, constipation, irritable bowel, or abdominal pain—you need to restore balance to your intestinal flora if you want to rid yourself not only of your gut pain but of your migraine as well. I have found an excellent way to accomplish this goal is through supplementation with probiotics. Probiotics Probiotics are supplements of live, friendly bacteria that you can take to enhance or restore the balance of bacterial flora in your intestinal tract. The most common and essential of the friendly bacteria are the bifidobacteria, streptococcus, and lactobacilli species, which perform many functions essential for health and well-being. For example, they can: Assist in the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream Form a barrier against harmful bacteria that can cause diarrhea Manufacture food for your intestinal cells so they can function optimally Help prevent harmful bacteria from causing damage Prevent symptoms caused by use of antibiotics, which can destroy the majority of the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract. After much research and experimentation, the probiotic supplement I recommend is a powdered formula that contains 3.5 billion of lactobacillus group, 1 billion of bifidobacterium group, and 0.5 billion of streptococcus thermophilus per dose. It is well tolerated, easy to use, and has helped a great many people. After several months of taking this supplement on a daily basis, most people find that occasional use, perhaps once a month, is sufficient to maintain a healthy gut and overall health and well-being. IV. Ion Balancing Act Critical for the success of The Migraine Cure is restoration of the balance between two minerals, ionized magnesium and ionized calcium. The precarious balance between these two elements is intimately connected with the activity of the steroid hormones, the function of the pineal gland, proper functioning of the digestive system, and, by extension, balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The Calcium-to-Magnesium Ratio The relationship between the calcium-to-magnesium ratio and migraine has been known for some time. In 1993, for example, researchers noted that low levels of ionized magnesium and a high ionized-calcium-to-ionized magnesium ratio are both associated with migraine, as these two conditions cause cerebral vasospasm and reduced blood flow to the brain. A balanced ratio of calcium to magnesium also is necessary to help prevent fatigue and regulate the sleep cycle, two factors common among migraineurs. Again, this balance also reflects a balance between the sympathetic nervous system (which calcium has an impact on) and the parasympathetic nervous system (which magnesium influences). Magnesium If a magnesium deficiency is part of the recipe for migraine, then it follows that supplementation should be beneficial. Research and experience indicate that this is true. Several studies have shown that supplementation with magnesium relieves migraine in people who have low serum ionized magnesium levels. We also know that supplementation with magnesium relieves symptoms of PMS, including migraine, bloating, and edema, and that magnesium supplementation can be an effective prophylactic (preventive agent) and treatment for migraine. Although magnesium supplements are available in a variety of types and forms (e.g., magnesium sulfate, oxide, gluconate, carbonate, and chloride), the form I recommend to everyone who participates in The Migraine Cure is magnesium citrate. This is the type the body is best able to absorb. I especially recommend a powdered, water-soluble magnesium supplement, 400-800 mg taken at bedtime, or 200-400 mg taken in the morning followed by 400 mg at bedtime, depending on individual needs. If you have any type of heart or kidney disease, talk to your doctor before taking magnesium. Additional Benefits of The Migraine Cure One of the most gratifying experiences in writing The Migraine Cure book, besides the fact that it eliminates migraine, is that it will also help people alleviate many other symptoms and conditions. This is good news, because most people who live with migraine also struggle with one or more other health problems, including depression, insomnia, high cholesterol, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, mood swings, menstrual difficulties, or sleep disturbances. So while we were busy recommending hormone restoration, pineal resetting, calcium-magnesium rebalancing, and digestive realignment, and getting excellent results when it came to eliminating migraine, patients were reporting—and we were noting—that other health concerns were disappearing as well. My research and experience have shown me that the basics of The Migraine Cure are the recipe for successful treatment and often complete elimination of many other physical and psychological conditions, including high cholesterol, heart disease, and fibromyalgia. Ruthanne's Story Ruthanne first contacted us in October 2004. "The migraines actually started when I was about 15," she says, "and in the last 10 years or so they got worse, until I was having one every day." She remembers that her teenage years were plagued by symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, including migraine, depression, and mood swings. At 19, she began to take birth control pills to help deal with the PMS. That is when she noticed that although she still got migraines when she was taking the pills, they were much worse during the one week per month that she was off the hormones. Ruthanne says that over the years, she tried various medications to cope with the migraines, including naratriptan (Amerge®), sumatriptan (Imitrex®), topiramate (Topamax®, an anticonvulsant), various muscle relaxants, several different antidepressants, ergotamine injections, and a few different hormone replacement formulations, all of which provided little or no relief. At the time she contacted us, her other health concerns included allergies, high blood pressure, and being overweight. Ruthanne's lipid and hormone levels were as follows (reference ranges appear in parentheses): Cholesterol: 296 mg/dL (<200 mg/dL) Total estrogen: 146 pg/mL (61-437 pg/mL) Progesterone: 0.3 ng/mL (0.2-28.0 ng/mL) Pregnenolone: 37 ng/dL (10-230 ng/dL) DHEA-S: 76 ug/dL (65-380 ug/dL) Total testosterone: 32 ng/dL (14-75 ng/dL). Based on these results and our discussion with Ruthanne, we recommended the following initial program: DHEA: 50 mg in the morning and 25 mg at noon 7-Keto DHEA: 100 mg in the morning Pregnenolone: 200 mg in the morning Estrogens: Triest gel, formulated to 90% estriol, 7% estradiol, and 3% estrone, taken on a cyclical basis: 1 mL in the morning on days 1 through 10 following menstruation, then 0.8 mL in the morning until the start of menstruation, then 0.4 mL in the morning during menses Progesterone: micronized progesterone (50 mg/mL), 0.8 mL in the morning and 0.4 mL in the evening on days 1 through 10 following menstruation, then 1.0 mL in the morning and 0.4 mL in the evening until the start of menstruation, then 0.6 mL in the morning and 0.2 mL in the evening during menses Testosterone: micronized testosterone (50 mg/mL) gel, 0.2 mL in the morning on days 1 through 10 following menstruation, then 0.1 mL every day Probiotic formula containing 3.5 billion lactobacillus group, 1.0 billion bifidobacterium group, and 0.5 billion streptococcus thermophilus Melatonin formula containing 3 mg of melatonin, 250 mg of kava root extract, and 10 mg of vitamin B6, one capsule at bedtime Magnesium citrate formula: one scoop (containing 420 mg) at bedtime Saw palmetto: 160 mg in the morning Zinc: 50 mg before bedtime. We also recommended that Ruthanne stop taking her supplements (including calcium and a multi-vitamin/mineral) and birth control pills until her hormone levels were restored. While Ruthanne wrestled with her anxiety about stopping her birth control pills, another issue came up: her gynecologist would not prescribe the bioidentical estrogens she needed. In the end, she found a nurse practitioner who was not only happy to provide the prescription, but also interested in the program herself, as she suffered from migraines as well. Ruthanne remembers the exact day that she started The Migraine Cure program, and for good reason. "From day 1, I didn't have any more migraines," she says. "It worked immediately. I can't remember when I was migraine-free like this!" Ruthanne also had this to say about some other benefits of the program: "With all the medications I used to take just to get by, I was 'fuzzy' all the time, to the point that I believed that was my normal state. Now, I feel sharper than I have for a long, long time, and I attribute it to not being on migraine drugs and painkillers, and to finally getting my hormones into balance." As of February 2006, Ruthanne had been migraine-free for three full months and reported having much more energy, improved sleep, a positive mood, and a big improvement in her allergies. Her blood pressure was a healthy 112/84, and she was looking into incorporating more healthy foods in her diet.

Golden Globes Fashion- Somewhere between the prom dresses and bridal wannabes were some very pretty gowns
Red Carpet Review: If you edit through the mass appeal, there are some very strong fashion looks. The Broadway garmentos must be rubbing their palms together in a cash cow frenzy because I have never seen so many dresses befitting of a prom or a wedding for them to knock off at one event!Note #1 to all: If you are old enough to vote, you should not be wearing a prom dress… no matter how expensive or exclusive, if it has a a millions ruffles and Princess-full ball skirt, it's a prom dress. Note #2 to all: When you wear a white gown, it should not look like wedding dress if you are not attending your own wedding.>> SEE RED CARPET HITS AND MISSES: GOLDEN GLOBES FASHION ROUND UP PHOTOSLooking beautiful honestly means that you as a person radiate… it's the totality of your style and presence that measure up in unison to create a beautiful package. That doesn't mean that you were a haute couture dress that overpowers you, overdone hair to spotlight the talents or your hair stylist rather than your beauty, or a dress worthy of pink Hummer limo on promo night.I hate to quote that tired adage that still applies, but YOU should wear the dress, the dress should not wear you.Let's forget about the wearisome and only focus on the good…Rachel Zoe was very good to Anne Hathaway last night, pictured above.

Looking for a fall look? Marissa Webb's got you covered.
This is the place to get to know Gap Inc. and our brands a little better. Get in on the conversation -- we'd like to know you, too!
Who we are
Gap is the ultimate optimistic American fashion brand so it's only fitting that the brand is headlining Lucky magazine's "American Style Issue" for the month of October.
It's a big month, as we head into fall, and of course there can't be a denim issue without Gap.
The cover features all-American supermodel Karlie Kloss wearing all Gap denim – a Gap denim jacket, Gap denim western shirt and Gap denim jeans – against a New York City skyscape.
Inside the magazine, Karlie is highlighted in the "Behind the Scenes" section where they talk about her "model off-duty" outfits for the shoot and how she showed off her famous walk wearing Gap jeans on the busy streets of the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City.
To announce the cover star and her denim of choice, Lucky magazine Editor-in-Chief Eva Chen posted the cover image on Instagram tagging Karlie and Gap.
To see more from the October issue of Lucky, check out luckymag.com or pick up a copy at your neighborhood newsstand.
Visionaire fashion and art magazine and Gap have teamed up for the third time to design a new line of 15 limited edition T-shirts. "The Gold Collection" features foil-stamping and triple-gold ink printing technique, along with art from past issues of Visionaire.
The result: gossamer-punk doily art, "P is for Porcupig" alphabet whimsy, and a jigsaw puzzle piece collage, among others– created by artists like Alexis Rockman, Simon Periton, and Vik Muniz, and Fifty Shades of Grey film director Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Tees are limited (only 500 of each design were produced). The line is available at select Gap flagship stores.
In addition to that go-to pair of jeans, women are mixing up their wardrobes with soft dressing, taking track and yoga pants way beyond the gym. Comfort and style? Yes please.
So, what brought this trend about?
We asked Rebekka Bay, Creative Director for Gap, and she told us it originates from sportswear – an American staple. Jill Stanton, Old Navy's EVP of Product Development & Design added that while our customers are still addicted to skinny jeans, women love having options.
Nancy Green, President of Athleta, sees the relaxed pant silhouette as part of a larger trend. "Today, women are living more active lives, and they are looking for their fashion to reflect that lifestyle."
Now how do you go about putting together a soft pant look? Here's advice from our fashionable execs:
Rebekka Bay: With the flowy pant, look at shirts that anchor to the waist or are more cropped. Think about tops with open slits…personally I like the trend casually rolled with a small heel.
Jamie Lewin, Director of Trend and Design for Piperlime: You want to wear tops that are slightly cropped or able to be tucked in so you can see the waistband. We like to style the pant with heels, always balancing trends that can skew masculine with something feminine.
Melloney Birkett, Vice President of Women's Design for Banana Republic: The relaxed attitude of the soft track pant pairs perfectly with the longer knit jacket; or style it with an easy 1/2 tucked sweater or the new proportion sweatshirt shape. A strappy heel elevates the look while the flat slide and the skate sneaker lend true attitude.
Nancy Green: It's a trend that is extremely versatile.. Athleta materials have wicking properties, making the pants fast drying. And, with all of these properties, you still have full range of movement – dancers can also wear them. They are also great for work travel. Really, you can wear them throughout your day.
Jill Stanton, EVP of Product Development & Design: Feel free to play with proportions and fabrics – wear a silky, drapey pant with a printed T-shirt during the day and dress the same pant up with a fitted, structured shirt at night.
What's your favorite soft dressing look? And what would you like to see from us next season?
You're scrolling through your Instagram feed, lushing over the super chic array of fashion bloggers' posts. If only you could order the same stylish pieces that Gall Meets Glam, Olivia Palermo or Kate Mara are posting…guess what? The NEW Piperlime lets you do just that.
In today's world of #OOTD, #Like.it and #bloggerstyle, fashion has come full circle meeting the customer where she is; social media. The new Piperlime lets customers shop directly off its Instagram feed as part of its new Shop Social feature. A collection of Piperlime Instagram posts from stylish everyday girls and celebrity bloggers outfitted in the latest trends and chic pieces are available on Piperlime.com.
Along with Piperlime's social media integration, the brand recently launched a new logo, website, packaging and its first ever in-house private label collection – 68 pieces debuting on Piperlime.com and in the New York store in September (stay tuned!).
A few weeks ago, the website kicked off a new feature called "16-Hour Style," which is all about transitioning through the day.
So, whether you're a customer looking for celebrity style or fashionable everyday pieces, the new Piperlime is your connection to chic.
Hear more about the new Piperlime in the above video above.

The mission of the Office of Minority Health and Health Equity is to identify health inequities and their root causes and promote equitable opportunities to be healthy
* 2013 Virginia State Rural Health Plan
* Virginia's Medical Interpreter Database
* Virginia Medical Interpreting Collaborative
* 2012 Virginia Health Equity Report
* Navigating Through the U.S. Health Care System

The work that this office is engaged in provides some specific examples of how organizations can promote health equity. As our framework for action demonstrates, our mission and vision guide our programmatic work. At the core of this work are data analysis and research that seek to define the distribution of health, disease, and social determinants of health. It also serves to identify local high priority target areas. Our programmatic areas focus on health care, policies that promote health, and empowerment of disadvantaged communities. These priorities advance health equity by promoting access to quality health care, healthy public policy, and healthy and engaged communities. We hope that you too will join us in our efforts to advance health equity for all Virginians.

When deciding on the right college, it is important to keep certain factors in mind—tuition costs, class sizes, and program accreditation—without also forgetting the value of a close-knit community, life in the residence halls, and real-world experience as well. At the University of Idaho, we seek to foster Engineering majors in all areas of university life, from academic and financial decisions to student-teacher interactions and exciting projects. Here are a few important things to consider:
The program is among 29 engineering education programs chosen for their achievements, and one of only seven capstone programs highlighted in the National Academy's report.
Whether it's in the classroom or in the field, the University has consistently been setting students up with the skills and tools they need to succeed in the world while providing the ideal college experience. And you could be next.

Ramadan mubârak to all of our Muslim readers!
"We need more literary holidays. Right now we have Bloomsday, and that's about it. As great as Ulysses may be, we're missing out on plenty of other books that lend themselves to an annual celebration. For what it's worth, I want to claim today (October 25) for readers. A lot of people don't know it, but today is already a holiday — St. Crispin's Day. In theory, it's meant to honor a Christian martyr named Crispin, but for me the day belongs to William Shakespeare and his play Henry V."
- Celebrating St. Crispin's Day by Guy Patrick Cunningham
Tonight marks the beginning of Eid al-Adha, a three-day Muslim holiday. This year's Hajj is being live streamed, so you can check it out from your own home no matter where you are. It really is an impressive, beautiful sight. Eid Mubarak!
Ploughshares has compiled an excellent list of books and songs to help you cope with seeing your family over the holidays. We're thankful for it, and would add a few more: Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, Ann Beatie's Chilly Scenes of Winter, Justin Torre's We The Animals, Zadie Smith's White Teeth, and, of course, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, which opens with the famous line: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

The Redskins continue to surrender big plays, points and leads in games. The outcry is simple: Fix the secondary. Except it's not that simple. Not when the defensive front isn't pressuring the quarterback, forcing the secondary to cover longer. On the 54-yard deep ball to Vincent Jackson on Sunday, Tampa Bay quarterback Josh...

New No-Hassle Linen Button-Front Skirt 3 3
Not my Favorite The skirt was too large. Not what I expected so had to send back. May 6, 2014
Very nice skirt I liked the fabric and the style. However, the waist was way too large and I am not sure about the buttons on the left side. I returned it. April 28, 2014
Quality skirt for the bucks Beautifully designed and tailored skirt. Easy to pack with minimal wrinkles. However, I ordered an XL because I did not want it to gap in the front like most button-up skirts do and the waist is too big for an XL. I will end up tailoring it in to fit my waist. It may be just right for you if your waist is larger. My waist is small for my hip size. I would recommend this skirt. April 12, 2014

The quicker the farm technology adoption, the wider the profit margins
Farmers are going to have to grow a lot more food in the coming decades than they ever have to meet world demand.
How will it happen? Technology is thought the best way to yield more with the same amount of land and resources today. But, not all technology's the same. Some takes time to bring into an operation and reach profitable levels. Other new tools can be brought into a farm's management right away.
Regardless of how long it takes a new tool to reach the marketplace, be ready to act fast if you're going to take full financial advantage of technology, says Kansas State University Extension ag economist and Rawlins County, Kansas, farmer Terry Kastens.
Kansas State University Extension ag economist Terry Kastens says it's important to be able to act quickly in adopting new technology on your farm. Doing so can add to profit margins down the road, he said Thursday at the Agriculture.com Ag Innovator Roundtable and awards program in St. Louis.
"Early adopters see technology as a tremendous opportunity," he says. "Late adopters adopt just to survive -- everybody's doing it, so I have to do it too."
Being able to identify whether a piece of farm technology is "fast-moving" or "slow-moving" is the first step in the process that should ultimately yield higher profits on your farm, Kastens says. Slower technologies -- like no-till, for example -- can take years or even decades before they're widely adopted. Others, like auto-steer, are quicker to be adopted because the results are easier to prove in a shorter timeframe.
But, be ready to act quickly once you reach this conclusion.
"If it's a 'duh' technology, just invest in it now. Almost just close your eyes and do it. Don't wait. I know you'll say 'but it's going to get cheaper!' There's always stress with that," Kastens said Thursday at the Agriculture.com Ag Innovator Roundtable and awards program in St. Louis, sponsored by Asgrow. "You're going to have to do it anyway, so you ought to do it now."
What if it's a technology that's slower to develop or be adopted by other farmers? Take the same tact, Kastens says. Doing so ensures an "edge" you can leverage over other farmers who wait before they bring along that new tool.

Comedian and actor
" Animal testing is no laughing matter and cats and dogs do not belong in laboratories. Please join the BUAV's Our Best Friends campaign. Thank you. "
Britain's most renowned Wildlife presenter
" My two dogs, Itchy and Scratchy, don't just share my home, but also my life and they have been a joy since the first day we welcomed them into my house. It is hard and terribly saddening to know that there are hundreds of dogs living in laboratories in the UK, who will never know the love of a family home and will only experience pain whilst being used in tests. That is why I am supporting the BUAV's Our Best Friends campaign to call on the government to end animal experimentation on dogs and cats in the UK. Please join us and do the same. "
International comedian, actor, voice actor, director, producer, musician, writer, and former radio presenter.
" Cats share our homes, they are loving, loyal and playful and they deserve a safe and happy life, not one of suffering. That's why I am supporting the Our Best Friends campaign, taking action to bring a stop to the suffering of cats and dogs in UK laboratories. Take a look at ourbestfriends.org and sign the petition today at ourbestfriends.org/petition. "
and Bob
James Bowen, may be the UK's most famous busker after the story of his life with ginger cat, Bob, was turned into a best-selling book.
" Bob is my best friend, we look out for each other and there is no doubt I wouldn't be where I am today without him. Knowing just how clever, sociable, loving and cheeky cats can be, it is horrible to imagine that there are many suffering in UK laboratories. Instead of companionship and adventures, they will experience only pain. That is why I am supporting the BUAV's Our Best Friends campaign and asking for the Government to ban experiments on cats and dogs. Please sign the petition today, thank you. "
One of Britain's most beloved authors
" My two greyhounds truly are my best friends and I adore sharing my home with them and enjoy our adventures together. It is utterly appalling to hear about the high numbers of dogs still used in experiments in the UK who never experience the love of a family or the joy of playing in a park. I am supporting the BUAV's Our Best Friends campaign to call on the UK government to ban this hideous experimentation on dogs and cats and I urge you please to do the same. "
Ex-Pussycat Doll and 'Got to Dance' judge
" I absolutely love animals which is why I am so upset to learn that there are still so many dogs and cats suffering in UK laboratories for animal testing.

Gold-winning Olympic long jumper
" I was shocked when I learnt from the BUAV that dogs and cats are still used in UK experiments.

Please find out more today about how you can be a part of ending their suffering once and for all www.ourbestfriends.org "
International canine expert and presenter of 'It's me or the Dog'
" I have met thousands of wonderful dogs throughout my career and it is heart-breaking to think that dogs are still suffering in experiments. Dogs are our best friends and deserve to experience companionship, the excitement of going for a walk and the comfort and safety of a loving home. It is truly saddening that, in the UK, thousands of dogs are born to suffer and die inside laboratories. I know just how varied and wonderful the canine character can be and how much dogs enrich our lives. That is why I am supporting the BUAV Our Best Friends campaign. Please join me and get involved to put an end to the use of dogs in research in the UK. "
TV presenter and cook

Beauty expert, Sarah Jagger is a member of ITV This Morning's 'The Beauty Belle's'
" Truly beautiful people care about animals and would wish to stop senseless suffering wherever possible. That is why I encourage everyone to join the BUAV Our Best Friends campaign so together we can end the use of cats and dogs in UK experiments. "
Multi-million selling children's author of the Princess Poppy series
" My Labrador, Buddy, is my trusted other. He knows EVERYTHING. His soulful eyes say more than words ever could. He likes routine so he helps me keep a routine. He likes all his loved people rounded up together. A straggler on a walk will be herded back into the gang. When he joined us as a baby, I was definitely mummy. He was frustrating - ate every last bit of my best gold sandals and lots of pretty bras. He was silly, naughty, funny, puppy-ish. But somewhere along the line, he has matured beyond me. I tell him my woes, he listens wisely. Still sits on my lap which comforts us both. Sometimes he's puppy-ish on his walks. I hope that never ends. The thought of dogs being used in experiments is deeply shocking and that's why I support the BUAV Our Best Friends campaign to ban such experimentation. "
Business guru and the Independent on Sunday columnist
" A house isn't a home to me without dogs or cats. My cats Haggis and Neeps are part of my family and definitely my best friends. They're the latest in a long line of wonderful cats and dogs that have given me a lifetime of love and companionship as well as a fund of brilliant stories and a lot of laughter. I can't bear to think of any of them having been experimented on and I don't want others to suffer either. So I'm supporting this campaign by BUAV calling on the government to end experimentation on dogs and cats in the UK. Please support it too." "
BAFTA and multiple Golden Globe-winning actress
" Millions of families in the UK share their home with a dog or cat. They enrich our lives and bring us so much happiness. It is, therefore, unacceptable to me that in this day and age cats and dogs are still being tested on in UK laboratories. Please join me and sign the BUAV's petition to call on the Government to end these cruel and outdated tests once and for all. "
Children's TV and comedy actress
" As a lifelong animal lover I am shocked to hear that experiments on cats and dogs are still taking place in the UK. Many people are unaware that there are thousands of dogs who will only ever know life inside a laboratory, having been born for the sole purpose of enduring cruel and unnecessary tests. I am joining the BUAV Our Best Friends campaign in order to raise awareness of the plight of these innocent animals. Please get involved today and ask for the government to stop this cruelty once and for all. "
BBC and ITV resident vet Marc Abraham

Sky Sports News presenter
" I was shocked to learn that cats and dogs are still being used for experimentation in the UK today. It is time such tests should end.

Former MP Ann Widdecombe
" Our family pets bring us so much happiness and they look to us to keep them healthy and safe. It is distressing to hear that cats, kittens and dogs are still used in experiments, spending their lives confined in laboratories.

Rachael Millar, Editor of Dogs Today

" I love my dogs and would do anything to protect them. I was shocked to discover that so many dogs and cats are forced to suffer in experiments, right here in the UK. I am delighted to support the BUAV with its new campaign to end these cruel tests on Our Best Friends. And I urge others to do the same. "

" Beagles, indisputably, are highly intelligent sentient creatures, friends of Man for centuries. It is completely morally unjustifiable for these animals to be made to suffer in the name of science, and I am shocked to learn of plans to set up a facility in Yorkshire to breed and supply beagles to the research industry.

The Most Equal Town in America: Country Knolls, New York
Nestled in rolling hills of Saratoga County about 30 minutes north of Albany, the development of Country Knolls is dotted with traditional colonials and long, low ranch-style homes.
In a time when the concern about growing income inequality has found outlets in the Occupy Wall Street protests and made its way onto the presidential campaign trail, this community doesn't have to worry about the wage gap between its residents.

* WASHINGTON (12/27/07)—Last week the Senate approved a second seven-year term for Allan Mendelowitz as a director of the Federal Housing Finance Board. His previous term expired in February and his new appointment will extend to Feb. 27, 2014. The Federal Housing Finance Board is the agency charged with oversight of the safety, soundness, and mission of the 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks Just prior to joining the Finance Board in December 2000, Mendelowitz served as executive vice president of the Export-Import Bank of the United States…

Congress increases CDFI funding for 08
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (12/27/07)—An omnibus spending bill approved last week by Congress included the first increase in years in the funds appropriated for the Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund. The bill included $94 million for grants, investments and technical assistance for community development projects through the CDFI. In recent years, the Bush administration repeatedly pushed for and secured cuts in the CDFI funding, maintaining that CDFIs should have a higher rate of return on their investments and not need increased taxpayer support. Last year the program was funded at $55 million. The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) has worked with the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions and the Coalition of Community Development Financial Institutions to oppose attempts to cut the fund. The CDFI Fund provides capital grants, equity investments and awards for technical assistance to community development financial institutions, including credit unions Financial institutions are required to provide a 1:1 match for most of the awarded funds, which are offered on a competitive basis. Also in Congress' massive spending bill, $975,000 was approved for the National Credit Union Administration's (NCUA's) Community Development Revolving Loan Fund (CDRLF), up from $941,000 the previous year. CUNA backs an even higher funding level for the program it believes plays a vital role in underserved communities. The CDRLF provides loans and technical assistance grants to credit unions, enabling them to enhance their technologies in order to provide increased products and services. Funding for the NCUA's Central Liquidity Fund, which has functioned as a backup liquidity lender for the credit union system since Congress established it in 1978, was set at $1.5 billion, the same level as for FY 2007.

CUNA seeks Treasury meeting to discuss tax report
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (12/27/07)—The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) recently asked the Treasury Department to clarify its rationale behind failing to remove credit unions from a discussion document on tax reform when the department removed other, more questionable, entities from the white paper. Specifically, CUNA noted that the Treasury's revised "Approaches to Improve the Competitiveness of the U.S. Business Tax System for the 21st Century," issued last week, focused on repealing various business tax breaks in the federal code, listing the credit union tax exemption as a possible target. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson , CUNA President/CEO Dan Mica underscored CUNA's understanding that the white paper does not represent a proposal by the Treasury to change tax policy. However, Mica questioned how credit union concerns were not addressed in the revised report while mention of such bodies as state and municipal governments was eliminated. Mica reiterated to Paulson that listing the credit union tax exemption among possible tax revisions wholly contradicts a 2004 letter to CUNA from President George W. Bush, in which he stated, "I support strongly the tax-exempt status of credit unions, and will continue to highlight the important contributions that credit unions make to our financial system." Further, the CUNA letter noted that the entities that have been removed from the original white paper have a greater impact on the tax system than the credit union tax exemption could ever have. "Investors do not have the ability to invest in credit unions in order to gain a tax advantage," CUNA wrote. "In contrast, state and municipal governments do issue tax-exempt bonds that attract investors in high-tax brackets precisely because of the resulting tax benefits of state and municipal bond investments vis-à-vis non-tax-favored investments. "Credit unions should be eliminated from this report because the credit union tax exemption plays little role in investment decisions, whereas the tax-exempt entities eliminated from the December 20, 2007 draft of this report do influence investment decisions because of their tax-favored status." In his letter, Mica repeated CUNA's request, made when the first draft was released during the summer, for an opportunity to meet with Paulson to discuss the issues involved. At that time, CUNA wrote to Paulson questioning the Treasury's suggestions that a way to reduce corporate income taxes would be to repeal various business tax breaks, listing the exemption of credit union income among the preferences. That letter noted that the Treasury paper fell silent on the "substantial benefits of credit unions to consumers," but the Treasury document praised Subchapter S Corporations which a government study showed cost the government $726 million in lost revenues in 2006 alone.

sherllllock asked: Okay, this is IMPORTANT. That quote about Martin saying he wouldn't mind an onscreen kiss with Ben is FAKE. It originated from a joke source that made it clear that all the quotes were actually fake quotes. Unfortunately, that quote somehow ended up getting circulated without the THIS IS A FAKE QUOTE flag, so now a bunch of people think it's a legit quote. It is not, however, legit at all.
Haha! That's what I thought. I remembered hearing that.

Hilton Head Plantation House Rental Photos and Description
3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6-7)
This 2600 sq ft home sits on a spacious half acre lot amidst palms, bountiful azaleas and towering Carolina pines overlooking a scenic lagoon, and with easy proximity to the beach and golf inside the plantation either on a bike or by car. At the house, there is ample space for different activities for different people - cooking, reading, sunning, biking, watching movies, bird watching, listening to music - you may find you explore the area less because of this home's well designed comforts, elegance, and serenity.
Here escape the traffic, crowds, and noise that so often accompany beach destinations. Instead bike on one of the 4 bikes we've left for you, or walk on level pathways through forests past manicured golf courses, and fountains, or drive or bike within the plantation to the quietest beach on the island that the public cannot access. Bring the beach chairs we provide, your happy hour drinks for sunset, wiggle your toes in the sand, and breathe in the fresh sea air.
Later sample some of the locals' favorite waterfront restaurants close by. (We have left our suggestions for you). No neon signs, no casinos, no motorcycles, no bright night lights, but instead a respect for natural beauty, peacefulness, and recreation.
Of course, outside the plantation is a vast array of other seaside experiences - dolphin watching, golfing, (discount golf information is at the house), imaginative mini-putt, salt marsh kayaking , outlet mall shopping, museums, beach biking, or beach tanning/reading, Tuesday fireworks nights, tennis, water sports, boating - not to mention side trips to historic Charleston, and Savannah.
Hilton Head is renowned for tremendous restaurant quality, and value: there are so many competitors, you are ensured what you want is available at a reasonable price. Naturally, some nights you will enjoy dinner at home cooked in the fully equipped kitchen, and served outside on the patio, or in the formal dining room for a special meal shared with friends.
Will a week really be sufficient to do all this? We will discount your second consecutive week to help you solve that problem.
Where else can you experience the fun, and variety of a prime beach destination with all these house comforts, and the complimentary use of 5 bikes, a car bike rack, plus beach equipment - chairs, cooler, umbrella, and the cart to haul it all in? We want to guarantee you comfort, pleasure, and recessionary savings with no extra charges for cleaning or linens.
Come, experience Hilton Head Island. Rest, relax, recharge - reserve! You're going to love it here.
- Suitability:
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair accessible
- suitable for elderly or infirm
- children welcome
About Colleen and Don
We are a recently retired couple who have for years shivered through winter, but no more! In our search for a warmer climate second home, Hilton Head's attractions outnumbered our other possibilities. Here was a controlled world, where long ago, planners envisioned an environment that respected nature's beauty, not destroyed it. Stringent controls have prevented neon signs; permits are necessary to remove trees; noise, and speed laws are enforced; lighting has to meet specific standards - this is a world of scenic beauty, and recreation. In addition, where else can you bike ride on the beach, for miles, your roses don't die over the winter, palms and azaleas thrive, plus you can drive from home?
Colleen and Don purchased this house in 2009
Why Colleen and Don chose Hilton Head Plantation
Life in Hilton Head Plantation is more relaxed and less busy than other areas since cars are not admitted through to sightsee the area. Many people live here year round, so it is not so transient, or seasonal. People here smile, and say hi even when they don't know you. It's friendly, scenic, comfortable, and readily accessible to amenities, many of which are here right inside the gates.
What makes this house unique
This house has spacious rooms which in addition to the outside views seen through the many windows, and skylights, seem to meld the outdoors with the indoors. We don't feel confined here, and part of that is a temperate climate that has a resort-like feel to it, so no matter the season, the outdoors can be enjoyed. The tropical palms swaying outside the screened porch, the Carolina swing under the portico, all contribute to relaxation. What else do we like here? The sunshine's sparkle on the lagoon, the birds' song at the feeder, quick bike trips to the beach, or fine restaurants, and the factory outlets just off the Island!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Words cannot express how much we have enjoyed spending the week in your beautiful home. Every aspect made us feel so comfortable.
We loved everything about the HH experience from the Old Fort Pub to the Oyster Festival, but especially your lovely home.
We look forward to our return visit.

Before & After: IKEA Malm Gets an Upholstered Ombre Makeover
IKEA Hackers
Ombre is all the rage and we've seen it work well using paint in a nursery before. But what about using 3 tones of fabric and some cotton batten?
We like the still clean and modern look with an added soft touch. See some how-to photos on IKEA Hackers.

Great project! I like to see the whole nursery, it looks very pulled together without being themed.
This is lovely and perfect for a nursery.
Love it! Love the use of yellows. And I've always liked that rug from IKEA, but never had the guts to buy it since it's so light for us having kiddos running around. Would love to see the rest of the room too. :)
Upholstery! Honestly, that idea never occurred to me before. It opens up a world of possibilities!
Way, way too much IKEA being shared.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only person to think "I could buy a changing table orrrr hey I could just attach this changing pad to my current dresser I'm not using..."
nice job!
I love this. It turned out really nice. As far as "way, way too much IKEA being shared." Maybe don't look at the IKEA posts then. Some people can't afford much else. I love IKEA and I will gladly read any IKEA related post. Take your snobbery and go elsewhere.
For those who plan to shop, the word is "batting" (not "batten") which comes in cotton or polyester and is meant for quilts, mainly. (I would use polyester, for this, since it matts less and doesn't need to be drapey, which is what cotton is good for. Plus it's usually cheaper.)
I wonder if it helps with small children banging into the furniture, or if it's more ornamental?
This project just seems totally unnecessary.
this last comment just is totally unneccessary.
beautiful idea! and i love the colours.
Cute idea! Question about the MALM, do the drawers glide in and out smoothly? I have always avoided it becasue I thought they be an annoyance.
mskarilynn, I respect you have a viewpoint, and so do I as well. It isn't snobbery re IKEA. It is that most of the posts lack imagination. And yes, I know I can avoid the posts, just as I would think you might want to avoid the snark. You have no idea how tight my budget is right now. Thanks.
Edin is right. I am a huge IKEAfan. I have an IKEA kitchen, plus my bedroom has both Pax and Expedit. I know all the shortcuts through the store. Until I got my Broyhill Brasilia credenza, I had a Besta Burs TV stand. There is no way that I would be snobby about IKEA. But these posts are just boring. They seem to be filler for bloggers who haven't the time or energy to seek out good design articles or really creative hacks, of which there are plenty. I hope that the bloggers think that giving them feedback is a good thing.
I'm glad we got the word "batting" cleared up.
Great idea! And it seems inexpensive too, which I'm sure a lot of us are looking for. Good on you for giving this a go! :)
As far as functionality goes.. there is one plus: a padded dresser might be nice in avoiding a baby/ toddler bump or bruise here and there. However, everything in a baby's room/ home gets dirty... Poop, pee, puke, boogers, crayons, dirty sticky fingers with who-knows-what, etc... this dresser would be impossible to clean without just removing the padding... what a pain! NOT functional!
A mom of 18 month old twins
Thanks Quiltmaster. I appreciate you understanding my comment. If a person goes and counts how many IKEA posts there are lately, it seems flooded with them, and no offense to the designers, but most lack imagination. The posts do seem like filler. I know it has been hectic on the site with changes, so that may be the reason, but the IKEA is being overdone, as is the mid-century modern.It's getting stale and narrow. For me personally, I love to see lots of types of design and the posts now seem to be 80% MCM and the rest contemporary. There are other styles. And for DIY, I love to see many types of furniture repaired and re-done, yet so much is IKEA and some is MCM. It isnt about the cost of any piece. I actually love the ones that take the most modest of items and do amazing things. My budget is beyond tight. I have had major set-backs with the economy, so doing a lot with little is not only a necessity, but I also enjoy it. I love this site and it has been my all-time fave for a long time. And I dont want to be rude, but it seems in a slump for a while now. Just my opinion. And BTW, I also love The Kitchn. Great section.
Im having such an issue when it comes to deciding on a dresser. I want something modern/mid century/a little glam but masculine and under 500. I have tried craigslist but there is nothing in my area, and I doubt I could get a great 6 foot dresser in my prius. I have been eyeing the Malm dresser as a last resort because I literally put clean folded clothes in a hamper and pull them out when needed, It is so sad. I would be ok with doing something amazing to a Malm dresser, like adding legs or something, along with painting/staining. I just don't want it to look like its from Ikea. Someone please help me!
SJW426 the malm drawers do glide smoothly. The casters are nice and sturdy.
I think this is a great idea. As far as the fabric getting dirty you could scotchguard it or scrub it with soap and a toothbrush if it got that dirty. I haven't had a need to clean my toddler's dresser drawers yet. You just take a chance on having to occasionally spot clean the fabric or change it entirely in a worst-case scenario, for the sake of having a personalized, aesthetic and soft touch on your otherwise plain malm dresser.
This turned out really cute. My Malm dresser completely disintegrated in about 3 years from daily use. The bottoms of the drawers failed under weight of clothes, the joinings got all wobbly and unstable, and the drawers stopped being usable. I would say my use was normal - I'm a professional adult - I wonder what a toddler could do to a dresser?
The whole dresser became landfill. And that, my friends, is why I caution people from buying IKEA furniture.
At a high-end furniture store here in San Francisco, they're selling upholstered dressers done up in patchwork fabrics. They look pretty good, and they're so DIY-able.
For this IKEA dresser, I think I would have taken the easy way out and just painted the drawer fronts instead of upholstering them.
Have the Malm, we took the easy way out though. IKEA sells random parts of all their furniture at the service desk, we bought the white Malm then bought the brown Malm's drawer faces! All 6 drawer faces cost us $15 total, looks great and works with out white and brown crib set.
Disclaimer: I bought the drawer faces after I had sanded and ruined the original faces with 2 days worth of work to paint them brown. I called IKEA and asked about buying new white ones and they said "well, we have brown ones too!" I could have punched myself. But now I know I can mix and match at IKEA for less.
MALM all looks so so much better with knobs. This would be lovely if it had some nice clear or contrasting ones popped on.
