Ready to decorate the mantel after the holidays and I am at a standstill. Here is the piece I have for in the center of it. But....now that I have it up there it appears too big or too tall? The sconces are stationary, but the clock which looks way too small so it will go. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks! | |||
Cara, I don't think your window grill is too large/tall at all. Your mantel looks large so it needs something that big. The clock is too small so glad you are removing it. What other items do you have for it? Things with color or at least darker tones will work better than light or white IMO. You might think about using a few dark books as risers if necessary.

joy luck. thanks so much. Glad you didn't think it was too large or tall because I really want to use it. I guess because that is the largest item I have ever had up there. And yes it is a big mantel (1925). I have lots of decor items but just can't come up with something. Usually I have too many ideas and not enough mantel space. LOL I did think about some books. More ideas appreciated. | ||||
Lovely mantel. I always struggle with trying to accesorize mine, especially after the holidays when everything seems so blah. Do you like symmetry? Then you may want to add in pairs like, two topiaries, two vases, 2 matching figurines... If symmetry is not the direction then maybe an ivy plant on one side trailing down, with some old books standing on the other side, maybe a plate on a stand... The best thing to do is get out some of your items and just play around. Here's an old shot of my mantel, its kind of a mix, with a little symmetry thrown in. | ||||
I agree, the piece is nice on that mantel area. Good suggestions given! Mary Ruth *****We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are! ***** (Anaias Nin)***** http://pinterest.com/mary_ruth/ | ||||
Cara Rose, try shifting your piece to the right off center, then adding three varied tall dark narrow elements to the left of it. Then you will be able to fill the low center across. The tall doorframe will help balance it, and that gives you room to add the other layered elements that would make it charming. Because your mantle and sconces are so symmetrical, I think you will be happier with this if you lay the gate out so it is not. Maybe tall cinnamon candlesticks next to fat stacked on books pillar candles (to echo the cherry wood tone) and then the clock can work in the trio that bridges the tall down. Add something long and low in the center - like greenery that is low and across - one of those trough planters or succulents. Or another find that relates . . . You are just getting started! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous piece with us. | ||||
I'm not good at decorating a mantle, I struggle with it. But like what the others, I like what u have so far, except the clock. Just keep trying other things you have in your home, and see what works. I'm not much help, sorry : (This message has been edited. Last edited by: lilsophie, | ||||
Consider adding two identical TOPIARIES to fill the void on either side of the iron piece. The can be greenery like ivy or boxwood or a mix of silk flowers. The should not be too skimpy and slightly lower than the iron piece. This will create a symmetrical design that once found (or created) will provide color to this area. If you like this idea, you can create seasonal TOPIARIES for each season varying the materials, shapes, pots and even sheens. | ||||
| ||||
And symmetry doesn't have to mean "pairs" -- but tow similar items (in height, in color). Here is my mantle -- Christmastime we just add greens and pinecones (and of course, no forsythia in the vase -- it's empty). Two hefty candlesticks at one end and the blue and white vase at the other, a clock in the middle and two bronze statues on either side. A candlesnufer and a matchstrike because they're there for a purpose. And like you, I have two sconces. My house is 1920 and yes, it is a fairly big mantle! My theory is to get things you like and just play. Take a picture and look at it on the computer. Shuffle things around. Post here and ask questions -- we're always glad to give advise. Some of my "scapes" (be it mantle or table) don't work as well as I think they should . . but I'll play with them until they do! Martha | ||||
Hi Cara, Love your mantel space. What a fun decorating dilemma! LOL. It's the perfect spot for easy change-outs and vignettes. Do the sconces hold candles too? Don't forget that you can still add other candle holders to the display. Decorate them with small orbs, small flower pots, or even glass votives holding other filler items. The suggestion to try asymmetric arrangements sounds like another fun challenge to play with for your mantel space. (I get stuck on symmetry too). This pic shows an example of using similar items but keeping them together instead of a traditional split (symmetrical) arrangement. Good luck and have fun playing. ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
Wow, you all have given me lots of ideas and options. I am going to try to play around a little after while. I will be back to comment on each post to me and to add pictures as I play. Unfortunately for me, symmetry is much easier to accomplish. I want to try to do asymmetry this time. Argh...gonna be a challenge. I love the pics that have been posted. I think another problem I have is putting up too much on the mantel. I try to say less is more, but it never works for me. The more the merrier is more like it!!! I had tons on the mantel at Christmas and loved it. Once I took it down I was like well ok now...everything looks bare. I think I posted a picture of what I did at holiday time, but if someone wants to see it again, let me know. Ok, gonna go play and then come back and make you all chuckle. I do so appreciate your help. I don't post much but I do read and I have met some lovely folks here. Thanks everyone! C | ||||
joyluck, I tried elevating with books as you suggested and I like it. I also like the idea of keeping with darker colored items since the mantel and walls are all light neutrals. Thanks. AnnieLinz~ thanks, I love this old house and the mantels but sometimes I get in a rut. And I know I think more is more, but I want to think less is more. LOL. I know part of my quandry is that I had so much up there for holidays, (lights, greenery garland, ornaments and mercury glass candle sticks, that when I removed it everything felt so bare. And of course being gray and overcast doesn't help with the blahs. I do like symmetry but would like to enjoy asymmetry also. Just not sure how. Never used ivy before but love that idea. No vases here, only candlesticks and I am trying not to buy more decor. LOL And yes, books are my friend, have lots of those. Been playing all morning and taking pictures. I love your mantel. Very nice. Might have to steal a couple of your ideas. Do you leave the mirror and plates up all the time? MaryRuth! Thanks my friend. I love the big mantel and I love the big piece I just bought, but now not sure which was to go. LOL. Been decorating for about 55 years and still don't have it down. KWIM? Libra~ I shifted the large piece off center to the right as you suggested and I do like it. I don't have anything tall, dark and narrow but will check out on my next shopping trip. I would not have trouble filling the low center at all. Have tons of things in that description. I may have some fat copper colored pillar candles but not sure about the copper color. I do want to use the clock but right now it appears too small. Perhaps using your suggestion I can accomodate your ideas. I have a long piece of faux greenery that I could use. Humm, I can feel a thrift/shopping trip coming on. LOL Thank you for helping me see in a new perspective. I will let you know how it goes. I think my main problem other than the large piece is the dark color...Not much here in dark shades. Lilsophie~ I will keep trying ....and no the clock isn't gonna work, at least not yet. But I got that as a gift and wanted it to work. LOL. Thanks for your encouragement. Ah Froo-Froo!! Hey lady, thanks so much for your input. I know I can always count on you to help out. Love your lists by the way so keep those coming. Beau's Rose mentioned topiaries in a PM. You two think well! I love that idea, but alas, no topiaries for me. I might be able to make a couple should I gather the supplies. I wish I had thought to buy some on sale after Christmas...always wanted some. Now, I am not sure where you live, but ummm can you come over and play decor? We could make a topiary in each season and holiday. LOL. Love the example of the ones you posted the link to, and those are a great shape and size. Thanks for your help. Linderhof~Thanks for explaining that symmetry doesn't always mean pairs. In my minds eye they did and you have opened my eyes, so thanks. I like your idea to take pics. I always see things better when I look at them in a picture so I am doing that right now. I hear you about playing with something until it works. My dd says I am the Queen of Tweaking. Miss Beau! Thanks for posting and helping. I know I can always count on you. Dilemma for sure. Wanna come help? Yes, one can't have too many mantel. LOL. You know I have three and if I had my way I would have one in each room. Course it helps to have big shelves and table tops. Yes, the sconces hold candles and I have the LED ones that are on a timer. I want to add more candles on the mantel top but can't seem to figure that one out. I have white, copper, red, teal, mercury glass and a few other types, but what color would work best? I do have glass votives too. I would love to do at least one mantel asymmetrical but can't seem to pull that one off yet??? Will keep tweaking..You know me! More Ideas Please. Will start thread #2 to post new pics. | ||||

Well, how else you would write a review? I mean ORIGINAL review? But yeah, I could not understand why would I need another game if I already have one. It turns out it is a reimbursement of the money that you have spent.
By the way, why such strange choice of the game-site "dlgamer"? I bet most of the people bought it from steam and EVERYONE uses steam. That would be better reference point.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

DLGamer offered this deal to Apolyton, the purchase price at DLgamer is lower then at steam.
You can just play the game through steam after you purchased it from dlgamer. dlgamer is just another store where you can buy the game.

I bought it from DLGamer.
At first I wasn't planning to get it at all. Then I reconsidered, but decided not to buy it. Then when I saw the discounts I caved in and bought the damn thing. Firaxis owes me.

I'm gonna have to concur. Wiggy's banning makes no sense. Unless DLgamer is paying Poly as part of the contest and this is some sort of appease-the-sponsors deal. Normally I'd hesitate to suggest such a thing, but nothing else explains such a grotesque overreaction.

Wiglaf's review was deleted b/c his edits were against the forum rules. Calling things 'gay' didn't help either. His original review can still be found on our homepage in the spotlight. For the record, bashing things by calling it 'gay' isn't legal in Holland.
Wiglaf's review was accepted and posted on the homepage in the spotlight. (where it still is!)
Then he edited his review and posted all kind of stuff into it that are very against the rules. We then had to delete it. Unfortunately, I must add.

I have won civil suits like this before, typically the contest owner does not show up and I win by default
A sad commentary on Civ5 where where the game is poorly enjoyed that no one wants to take the time with it to write a decent review and win some money.
I do love that the turd that was vanilla Civ5 got a 90/100 on metacritic and excited pre-release coverage from blind fans like Plomp. IGN even gave the even bigger turd Gods and Kings a 9/10 and an editor's choice, effusively praising the addition of 'friendship declarations' and 'denunciations' even though they were included in a patch about a year ago.
Games are getting worse, and so are reviews.

At Pedalheads™, our goal is to provide your child with the right level so he/she will feel safe, excited and challenged by all the skills and activities at camp.
Children are constantly growing, learning and developing so we expect that there may be some moving around to find the perfect match. Try to determine what level would be best suited for your child and if you have any questions, please call the office!
We think your kids are dynamite! Trikes and Trainers is an one hour camp for three year olds (turning three by the end of the calendar year) full of pedaling fun and safety. This camp is best suited for children who want to learn to ride but are not old enough for the Newbees level. These riders come with their trikes, run bikes or bikes with training wheels and learn how to start, stop, steer and pedal as well as helmet and traffic safety. We will not be taking of training wheels. We want them to have fun and enjoy pedaling!
This level is for children ages four (turning four by the end of the calendar year) and up. Newbees are beginners. These riders often come with training wheels on their bikes, or if they don't have trainers, they are learning how to maintain balance and momentum.
While we don't promise it, our goal is to have the Newbees group experience riding on their own within the week — and have fun, of course! Before we take off the wheels, we ensure that kids have the rudiments of pedaling and steering down. After that we work on the confidence and desire to ride unassisted. Newbees always remain on location. We're so proud of them! Our reputation has been built on giving these young riders a positive start to their biking careers.
We also have a 90% success rate of getting them up on two wheels!
For more information on the Newbees level, please see the Pedalheads™ Parent Guide.
Advanced Newbees are those who have moved beyond training wheels and can balance and pedal for short distances. These riders often need a little help starting off and are building confidence in their abilities. Our goal is to get these bikers consistently riding on their own, becoming less wobbly and stopping without using their feet. Many previous Newbees skip this level, some start here. Advanced Newbees always remain on location. For more information, please see the Pedalheads™ Parent Guide on Bike Fitting.
These little riders constantly amaze! They have mastered the basics of cycling by starting, turning and stopping on their own — Pedalheads™ seem to tear around like experts. In this level we concentrate on all of the safety requirements a competent cyclist needs to know. Further developing our balance, we ride with one hand so we can display hand signals. We work on control by riding in a straight line, even when executing a hand signal or shoulder-check. We talk at length about street safety, including signs, hazards and rules of the road without ever actually riding on the road.
If going to a trail or another site, Pedalheads walk their bikes across roads. With a mock intersection at our disposal, our goal is to prepare the kids in their cycling skills and safety knowledge for riding on the street.
For more information on our namesake level, please see the Pedalheads™ Parent Guide on Safety Awareness
These riders (recommended age 6 and up) are ready to take their bikes out onto residential roads. After a review of the safety rules from Level 3 and completion of a road riding skills course, Advanced Pedalheads™ apply everything they've learned on quiet, residential roads. Our goal is to get them to broaden their awareness, predicting the potential dangers of riding on the road (doors opening, driveways, balls, etc.) and becoming more confident.
Many take this level more than once to reinforce their cycling skills and increase their safety awareness of their surroundings, before juggling additional skills that may take their attention off the rules of the road. We cannot guarantee your child will be riding on the road; every child will need to pass a road test before they will leave the site. For more information, please see the Pedalheads™ Parent Guide on A Child's Perception of Traffic.
Gearheads are competent riders, who have had some experience on the road. Gearheads have a gear bike and are ready to start learning how to use it — adding another layer of skills to their cycling repertoire. Gearheads always review the safety rules from previous levels and verify that their skills are up to the challenge of concentrating on another element of the cycling experience.
Our goal is to introduce them to gears — how they work, what gear they should choose on various terrain or elevation, how to know what gear they're in and how to shift gears.
For more information on the Gearhead level, please see the Pedalheads™ Parent Guide on Shifting to a Gear Bike. Almost everybody (including adults!) need to take this level more than once and/or practice a lot to master the technicalities of gear ratios and smooth transitions.
For those who can shift gears, Treadheads provides a refresher on shifting gear smoothly and starts building the strength and stamina to get up and down challenging hills.
Treadheads always review the safety rules from previous levels and verify that their skills are up to the challenge of focused riding and climbing, descending and braking techniques.
Our goal is to build strength and stamina in their riding, as well as prepare for any elevation they may encounter on their ride.
For those bikers ready for concentrated time in the saddle — Shockheads ride up to an hour straight and work on their cycling dexterity and maneuverability, as well as realize the importance of traction. Shockheads always review their safety rules from the previous levels and verify that they have the bike-handling skills to be comfortable learning hazard-avoidance techniques on both the road and trails. Our goal is to build on their skills and knowledge, ensuring they are able to predict potential incidents and their outcomes and thinking of their own health & safety at all times.
For strong riders who are capable of riding streets and trails with confidence, Crankheads work on advanced balancing and cornering techniques on both streets and trails. Crankheads incorporate all the skills and knowledge of the levels above into one well-oiled machine. Our goal is to integrate and streamline all of their biking skills; to brake, balance, turn, hop and wave at you simultaneously!

We all have favorite college teams. I am partial to, in no particular order, Notre Dame, Stanford, UCLA and Oklahoma.
This Saturday at 12:30 local time Stanford hosts UCLA, two teams I follow and root for.
The line is UCLA + 4.5 although I believe it opened at UCLA + 6 or 7.
There's two ways to look at the Indians - yes they'll always be the Indians to me:
1. They will clobber their next opponent after their terrible loss to the Utes last Saturday.
2. They're devastated and lost a lot of their "punch" because they were initially thinking Championship this season.
On the other hand this #9 ranked Bruin team is VERY talented, unstoppable and on a mission. I'm thinking the wager here is UCLA + 4.5 although I sure wish I would have bet Sunday morning when the spread was even higher.
Your thoughts?

Based on the popular S.H.A.P.E. book for adults, this teen version walks through the same process of discovery with students. Written by the bestselling author and pastor at Saddleback Church, Doug Fields, this book will help teenagers understand who they are, how they can serve, and why they serve.

ePub, Reflowable$7.99
Are you confused about who you are or where you're headed? Does your life seem cluttered and chaotic? Do you wish you understood God's plan and purpose for your life? Do you want to uncover your God-given strengths? If you said yes to any of these questions, you've come to the right book.
The first step is to know who you are. Remember, you're a child of God---created by him with your own unique heart, abilities, personality, and spiritual gifts. God brought all those elements together in you so that you could serve him and the world in your own unique way.
Inside the pages of this book, you'll discover the place where your God-given passions and strengths intersect, and you'll find the way you're designed to serve. With interactive exercises and questions for you to answer, you'll learn more about your:
* Spiritual Gifts
* Heart
* Abilities
* Personality
* Experiences
Understanding each of these areas of your life, you'll begin to see who you are and how you're designed to serve. You'll stop serving because that's what you're "supposed" to do, and start serving from the depths of your heart and soul because it's what you were created to do.

Irving House is located at 24 Irving Street in Cambridge. Like Boston, Cambridge is a walking city, with great public transportation. Irving House is a short walk from the Harvard Square stop on the MBTA Redline.
From Harvard Sq subway station
Exit the station by the "Harvard Yard/Church Street" stairs. Follow signs for Harvard Yard, enter the Yard through the nearest gates from those stairs, and bear left across it, exit by the north (Thayer) gate. In front of Science Center, make a sharp right. When you leave the campus, you will be on Cambridge Street (by Gund Hall) Irving Street is 3rd left off Cambridge Street, #24 is first house on right. If you are going to stay at Turner House, you must check in at 24 Irving and then continue up the street to 40 Irving Street.
From Logan Airport--FREE June-August 2012!
Buy A Charlie Ticket in the terminal: look for the "T" kiosk. The S1 Silver Line leaves from the far right end of each terminal. Take the S1 to South Station. Take the Red Line from South Station INBOUND (towards ALEWIFE), exit at Harvard.
From South Station
South Station is a commuter, Amtrak & bus terminal. Take the Red Line from South Station INBOUND (towards ALEWIFE), exit at Harvard. Taking the FUNG WAH / BOLT / MEGABUS / LUCKY STAR bus from NYC? It will leave you in South Station.
Back Bay Station
Back Bay Station is a terminal for some New England buses. Take Orange Line INBOUND to Downtown Crossing; then Red Line INBOUND (towards ALEWIFE), exit at Harvard. (Amtrak and some commuter trains stop at Back Bay, but they continue to South Station which is MUCH better for getting to Cambridge)


text: I think AMD should learn the lesson from Intel guys who did a really good job with their drivers and consider open driver to be a 1st class citizen. Binary blob is doomed to have a dozens of problems in Linux and will always be very unwelcome and troublesome part of system. So AMD and Nvidia shouldn't get surprised when they lose market share to Intel in this part of market as well. As for, Catalyst has been always causing nasty issues here and there. OTOH opensource driver works very well for me. But it's slower and lacks some features. Most notably, OpenCL and recent OpenGLs.

text: Consumer Interest Grows In Convenience, Organic Meats Meat purchasing habits indicate price, convenience top factors in choosing meat; Organic and natural regain popularity Published on: Mar 4, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Price and value continue to lead meat purchasing decisions, according to the American Meat Institute and the Food Marketing Institute's annual Power of Meat survey. Though price is a top factor in selecting meats, it is losing ground, giving way to convenience and organic meats as high income shoppers ease up on money-saving measures. As demonstrated by a greater interest in heat-and-eat and ready-to-eat meats, as well as the ease/time of preparation, convenience meals are rising to the top. This category includes under-20-minute meals and one-pot meals. The latest survey, conducted by 210 Analytics, LLC, was commissioned jointly by AMI and FMI with sponsorship by Sealed Air's Cryovac Food Packaging Division. The survey details the findings of a national online poll of 1,425 consumers conducted in December 2012 and was released this week at the 2013 Annual Meat Conference in Nashville, Tenn.Meat purchasing habits indicate price, convenience top factors in choosing meat Additional findings of the survey include meat preparation habits, brand selection, growing/raising methods and preparation tools. Meat Consumption and Preparation For the first time in eight years, the number of meals grocery shoppers prepared that featured a portion of protein declined from 4.1 to 3.6 meals per week, but the share of shoppers eating meat and poultry at least once a week remained stable at 93%. Portion control, driven by the quest to save money and protein diversity, is the primary catalyst for change.

Best Uses
So far, so good. I'm at a loss to tell if the water reservoirs are filled, but plants are thriving in the California sun and heat.
I added a fine gravel mulch so that watering doesn't disturb the light soil.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Adds Color To Deck
- Easy to use
- Great Ease Of Watering
- No Need To Dig
Best Uses
- Add Some Color To The Dec
- Adds Right Amount Of Colo
New house with a deck.. I wanted some eye level color. May buy more for herbs at later time.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I put this on my front porch railing (the only place where I might get enough sun to grow herbs) and it is enormous looking. It swallows up my front porch. Beware that because it fits 2 sizes, the product has a very high height and it is not attractive looking, IMHO. Disappointed. Will probably return and probably try the planters that just fit the 4" railing.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Blends With Wooden Deck
- Easy to set up
- Stable and sturdy
Best Uses
- Seasonal Deck Plantings
- Trailing Plants
I received the product, put it on the deck railing and filled it with plants. It's beautiful, stable and the plants are doing very well. The heavy duty boxes look great with the wood of the deck and the area under the deck doesn't get wet due to the reservoir that holds water. Love it.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Holds Lots Of Plants
- They Don't Dry Out
- Very sturdy
- No Water Tube
- You Drill The Drain Holes
Best Uses
- Great On Our Hot Deck
Our deck is so hot and it is very hard to keep things watered on the deck. I bought two planters and filled them with full sun plants and they look awesome, the dirt stays watered, the plants are big and full look great. so I bought one more to fill the railings!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Designed well
- Easy Maintenance
- Great quality
- No
Best Uses
- Use As Many As You Like
We moved into a townhouse community where the grounds are "common space" and the plantings are all maintained by a landscape company -- so these windowboxes are my garden and they line my deck. When my neighbors saw them and admired them, I said "Gardeners Supply!" and now they all have them too. I wish they came with something to tie or clip them to the rail for extra stability, but we will figure something out for that. They are great!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Holds water very well
- Perfect Fit For Railing
- Plants Grow Great In It
Best Uses
Needed something for our deck rail that would not have to require drilling. This not only fit our deck perfect the moment we took it out of box, it also hold 3 nice plants and looks great.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Have not received the product.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy
- Good Fit
Best Uses
- Deck plantings
This fits nicely on my deck railing and it's relatively attractive for a plastic planter. However, I still haven't figured out how this is self-watering. There is a rather deep reservoir at the bottom, but aside from watering the plants as usual there isn't a way to add water to reservoir. I'm not an avid gardener, but the self-watering containers I've seen usually have some sort of side opening to fill the bottom. Unless I missed some secret plug, I don't see this planter having that. The label also said something about overflow control, which isn't apparent how that is with this design.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- great solution
Best Uses
- Ideal for limited space
Given as gift to daughter living in condo with limited space. Ideal fit on small 2x4 deck railing; yet spacious enough to display plantings.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes

The newly elected head of Syria's opposition briefed European foreign ministers Monday on the crisis there, European Union foreign affairs representative Catherine Ashton said.
Ashton met Monday with Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib and pledged European support ahead of the monthly meeting of European Union foreign ministers.
"We want to help, but it's their country," she said.
Al-Khatib was to discuss his proposal for a political transition to end the hostilities that have left thousands of people dead during nearly 21 months of violence that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has characterized as a fight against terrorism.
Ashton said the world must take a stand against al-Assad's actions.
"It is important that we recognize the terrible things that have been happening in Syria and the responsibility that Assad has," Ashton said. "We said from the very beginning that it is no place to be in a position of power in your country if you respond to peaceful demonstrations with the murder of your citizens."
After hearing from al-Khatib, the foreign ministers released a statement saying, "The EU is seriously concerned about the potential use and transfer of chemical weapons in Syria and reminds the Syrian regime and other parties that, in case of their use, those responsible will be held accountable."
Syria has accused the United States of working to falsely accuse the country of using chemical weapons, Syrian state-run media said Monday.
"The U.S. administration has consistently worked over the past year to launch a campaign of allegations on the possibility that Syria could use chemical weapons during the current crisis," the Foreign Ministry wrote in letters to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency reported.
"What raises concerns about this news circulated by the media is our serious fear that some of the countries backing terrorism and terrorists might provide the armed terrorist groups with chemical weapons and claim that it was the Syrian government that used the weapons," SANA quoted the letters as saying.
U.S. officials have said they have seen intelligence suggesting that Syrian military units may be preparing chemical weapons for use.
President Barack Obama has said any use of chemical weapons would cross a "red line," eliciting swift U.S. reaction.
The United States and European allies are using defense contractors to train Syrian rebels to secure chemical weapons stockpiles, a senior U.S. official and several senior diplomats said.
The training, in Jordan and Turkey, covers the monitoring and securing of stockpiles of weapons and materials, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the issue.
Some contractors are working with rebels in Syria to monitor sites, one of the officials said.
Opposition groups said fighting continued Monday across the country.
At least 142 people died Monday, 59 of them in Aleppo and 50 in Damascus and its suburbs, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria said.
In one Aleppo neighborhood, opposition activists said, they discovered 10 handcuffed and blindfolded corpses killed by government forces in recent weeks, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
CNN is unable to confirm casualty reports as the government has severely restricted access by international journalists.
The Observatory said a rebel group seized control of a government military base in northwest Syria.
The seizure occurred in Aleppo province, where rebel fighters from the jihadi al-Nusra Front, Muhikiri al-Sham and the al-Battar battalions took over three brigades and the command center of the 111th regiment in the Sheikh Sleiman area of western Reef Aleppo, the observatory said.
Two rebels and one soldier died; five other soldiers were captured, it said, adding that 140 soldiers and their officers fled.
The rebel forces represent a variety of interests. In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Monday that U.S. officials were concerned "that al-Nusra is little more than a front for al Qaeda in Iraq who has moved some of its operations into Syria."
The State Department is planning to designate al-Nusra Front, a radical Islamist group, as a foreign terrorist organization, two U.S. officials told CNN last week.
The announcement is likely to come this week, the officials said.

If Amherst is going to win the school's first football state championship, they'll have to do it without star quarterback Chris Zblewski. He has a high ankle sprain suffered in their Level 4 win over Colby last Friday.
The team says he is taking the injury day by day.
He didn't practice with the Falcons on Monday and at this point, senior Caleb Glennon and freshman Garry Groshek will likely share snaps on Thursday in the Division 5 state championship game against Lancaster.

I'm a writer. Not by profession, not yet, but it's what I'm meant to do. I know it. I love writing my blog (sig), but I love storytelling, too. And nothing has ever come so naturally to me as screenwriting. There are times when I really get going, when I'm really "in the zone" so to speak, and 8, 10, 12 hours have passed since the last time I did anything else. When I know it's good is actually when my role is largely passive. When it's less a sense of me proactively creating something and more a sense of something that exists being revealed to me. Maybe that sounds pretentious, but I'm telling you that's how it happens, when it happens the best.
Oftentimes I'll have story ideas that are borne out of a particularly vivid dream I had. I keep a dream journal, and I've gotten some really good ones. I also know that I've had an Inception-esque dream-within-a-dream. As sure as I remember anything in my life, there's a night I remember waking from a dream to write something that had just happened to me in the dream in my journal, before falling asleep again just as quickly. Woke up for real a few hours later, the next morning, only to find that there was nothing new in the dream journal.
The freaky part is that idea is probably still in my head somewhere. But I suppose I won't recognize it if it ever does surface again. Maybe it already has.
I wish I had caught on to screenwriting sooner. I spent almost 20 years trying in vain to write prose, and my god was it horrible. I had an idea for a novel my freshman year of college, and I had dreams of doing book-signings at the campus book store. By the time I got my degree five years later all I had written was four lousy chapters. And I do mean *lousy*. I had somewhat better luck with short stories, but those have just as easily been adapted to the screen as short scripts (all but one). Any new ideas these days are screenplays, no question.
Anyway, that meandering preamble is just to get around to asking if anyone would be interested in reading my stuff and providing feedback.
Half the time I'm my own biggest fan, half the time I'm my own harshest critic. And I'm never right. So I need new and fresh eyes to read my stuff. I do submit to a peer-review website, but they only accept completed feature-length drafts, so it's not very often that I have something new to submit there. I could really use feedback on some of my shorter scripts and some of my unfinished scripts.
It doesn't have to be anything more than "Here's what I liked.... ; Here's what I didn't like...." It would be helpful if you had some insights into storytelling structure and especially screenwriting, but even if you don't your feedback is still valuable. Everyone knows what a good story is, don't they?
Two caveats. These are screenplays, not prose. They are not literature - they are blueprints for making a film. Film is by its very nature a collaborative process. One person can't make a movie by themselves. So screenplays are best left leaving choices that belong to others (how lines are read, how characters are dressed, what shots are used) to the people whose job it is to make those choices. It may make for a slightly unfulfilling read. I would also ask that you bear it in mind when providing feedback.
Secondly, I don't write comedy. I'm not a terribly funny person, and I see comedy as a lazy, wholly derivative genre. And, well, it's even more than that, frankly. Many of my stories are quite dark in tone. So it's not bound to be a light-hearted laugh riot like Witticus' story thread. I don't mean to say I'm gonna tear your heart from your chest and stomp on it, just that nearly all of my stories would get R ratings if they were made as movies (there are a few exceptions). We're all adults here, and we all go to R-rated movies (or Netflix them), so I don't know why this should be a total roadblock, but it bears mentioning.
I'll use the next post to give a rundown of my stories and where they stand. Hopefully you'll see something you like and want to read. If you're interested, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a PDF of whatever you've picked out.
(and it goes without saying that I'm trusting you all not to steal from me...you wouldn't do that, would ya? )
All right, well, see if there's anything you like. This is also an exercise for me in writing what are called loglines. You could best think of them as movie synopses summed up in the span of a Twitter post.
