Govt warns it could break 'Big Six' energy firms up
The Big Six energy companies were tonight warned the government would break them up if The Competition Authority were to recommend it.
The watchdog accused the firms of overcharging millions of customers who stay with the same supplier rather than shopping around for the best deals.
ITV Consumer Editor Chris Choi reports:
Car hire cheapest in Cyprus, survey finds
British tourists could end up paying twice as much for car hire depending where they go on holiday this summer.
Rental fees in Majorca are twice as high as those in Cyprus, a survey by Post Office Travel Money found.
Other popular spots where charges were particularly high were Faro in Portugal, Split in Croatia and Dublin.
Taking into account expenses such as satnav hire, additional-driver cover and petrol the pricest destination was the Norwegian capital Oslo where hiring a car for one week would set you back as much as £614.
The cheapest place to rent a car was in Larnaca in Cyprus where one-week hire was just £295.
Hidden cash benefactor reveals next stash location
In an interview with ITV News, an anonymous British millionaire has brought a free money craze to our shores - and has given a large clue towards finding the next envelope of money:
£60,000 found floating in a Lincolnshire river
Police are appealing for information after banknotes worth around £60,000 were mysteriously found floating down a river in Lincolnshire.
A dog walker spotted the cash near to Spalding town centre last month.
Officers who recovered the banknotes say a large amount was damaged but a good quantity appear to be in fair condition.
They are now trying to trace the owner.
If they cannot it will become the subject of a court forfeiture order.
More working households targeted by bailiffs
According to a survey into debt collection carried out by Citizens Advice:
- Council tax, unpaid parking fines, loans and credit cards were named as the main debts by callers.
- There was a north/south divide in the number of cases recorded. The North East of England account for a sixth of all bailiff cases handled by the Citizens Advice Bureau
- More than half of the people pursued by a bailiff in the East Midlands were in a family.
- Only one in 100 problems dealt with by CABs in the South West were bailiff related.
Number of working families chased by bailiffs rises
Debt collectors are knocking on the doors of more working households than before, a leading charity has claimed.
Requests for help dealing with bailiffs chasing payments from working parents now make up a fifth of inquires about debt collectors put to the Citizens Advice charity.
They dealt with 60,000 "bailiff problems" between April 2012 and March this year.
Out of these requests, half were parents were with dependent children.
On Sunday it was revealed that the value of UK workers' wages has suffered one of the sharpest falls in the European Union, when adjusted for inflation.
Average earnings increased by 1.7% in the year to May
Average earnings increased by 1.7% compared with March to May 2012, 0.2% up on the previous month.
Household taxes have more than trebled since 1961
Average paid by households in taxes (direct & indirect) more than trebled from £4,000 in 1961 to £12,900 in 2011/12 http://t.co/0Xmdt1h1s3
Households paid 20% of income on direct taxes in 2011/2012
The Office for National Statistics has released new figures looking at the effects of taxes and benefits on household incomes in 2011/12.
- Disposable incomes have fallen since the start of the economic downturn, with average equivalised income falling by £1,200.
- Average original income (before any taxes or benefits) was £31,500.
- On average, households paid 20% of their gross income in direct taxes such as income tax and council tax.
- The top fifth of households had an average income of £78,300, 14 times that of the bottom fifth, who had an average of £5,400.
Income inequality fell to lowest level since 1986 in 2011/12
Inequality of disposable income fell to lowest level since 1986 in 2011/12, according to new figures released by the Office of National Statistics.
This was partly driven by earnings falling for higher income households and by changes in taxes and benefits.
These changes include an increase in the income tax personal allowance and changes to National Insurance Contributions and Child Tax Credits.

The U.S. Dept. of Transportation has released $27.5 billion in highway aid contained in the recently enacted economic stimulus package. President Obama announced DOT's action on March 3, one day after the Federal Highway Administration formally apportioned $26.66 billion of the highway stimulus funds among the states. FHWA's apportionment came eight days earlier than the deadline set by the stimulus measure, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The first contract—$2.1 million—was awarded to American Infrastructure, Worcester, Pa., to grind, patch and resurface a 1.1-mile section of Route 650 in Silver Spring, Md. State highway departments say they have identified more than 100 projects on which construction can begin within 30 days. FHWA must approve each project proposed to receive stimulus money. Governors are required to certify that the stimulus funds won't just substitute for state funds. Under the legislation, federal funds can cover up to 100% of a project's cost. Besides the $26.7 billion apportioned to the states, the stimulus also provides $550 million for highways on federal lands and Indian reservations.

The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World, Burke Museum, June 28 - Dec. 31, 2008
Seattle -- The polar bear may soon face extinction as its Arctic habitat rapidly melts away. Opening June 28, 2008, the Burke Museum presents a stunning new environmental photography exhibit, The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World,bringing to life the devastating urgency of global warmings impact on the Arctic as documented by the dramatic polar bear images by accomplished wildlife photographer Steven Kazlowski.
Kazlowski has dedicated the past eight years to tracking and photographing polar bears in their rarely visited and seldom photographed natural environment, documenting the change in their habitat and behavior over time. InThe Last Polar Bear, 40 large-format color photographs reveal the plight of the polar bear as it faces rapid change in its Arctic coastal habitat from Hershel Island in Canada to Point Hope, Alaska. Through the exhibit visitors will learn how the changes brought about through global warming are affecting polar bears, humans, and other species that share this challenging Arctic environment, says Burke Museum Associate Director Erin Younger.
Visitors to the exhibit will follow the path of these alpha-predators, learning about the unique biology of the polar bear and the Arctic web of life to which they belong. Intimate images portray the bears annual cycle of life from mothers with cubs to adolescents at play to adults on the hunt. An interactive, hands-on study area allows families to further explore the scientific concepts behind polar bear science and global warming and find more information about what we can do to help make a difference.
To supplement Kazlowskis photography, the Burke will present film footage and recorded sounds of polar bears documented over three years by filmmaker Arthur C. Smith, III, a regional artist who specializes in filming polar bears in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.His footage has been used by National Geographic, the Discovery Channel, and was included in the 2007 documentary Arctic Tale.
The Last Polar Bear: Facing the Truth of a Warming World was organized by the Burke Museum and Braided River, a conservation imprint of The Mountaineers Books. The exhibit is based on the companion book of the same title, published by Braided River, featuring essays by noted conservationists and photography by Steven Kazlowski. Kazlowski's work has also been featured inAudubon, Backpacking, Canadian National Geographic, National Wildlife, and Time magazines.
The Burke Museum engages the public in conversations about the environment, both regionally and globally, through nature photography exhibits that visually reflect the urgent, changing realities of our natural world. In September 2008, in partnership with The Mountaineers Books, the Burke will open a companion photography exhibit that explores biodiversity in the Arctic ecosystem, Arctic Wings: Birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Both conservation exhibits will travel to other museums throughout the U.S. and Canada after their Burke Museum premiers.Major support for The Last Polar Bear has been provided by Tom and Sonya Campion, Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation, and Peach Foundation. Additional support has been provided by The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation and The Norcliffe Foundation.

(Sep 19, 2011) On September 7, 2011, following the publication of a green paper and a public consultation, the European Commission announced that it intends to draft a communication on a proposal regulating online gambling. It is anticipated that the proposal will be in the form of a directive that will establish minimum standards concerning this issue. The Commission was prompted to take action because of the disparity in existing legal regimes for online gambling among the European Union (EU) Members and also because of the growing number of judgments delivered by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on the subject. (Andrew Williams, Commission Eyes EU Regulation of Online Gambling, EURACTIV (Sept. 7, 2011).)
In the absence of regulation of online gambling at the EU level, EU Members have adopted their own rules to fight corruption, fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities generated by gambling. Consequently, in some EU countries, online gambling is completely unrestricted and available, while in others, such as Sweden, it is prohibited. In June 2010, the ECJ held that EU Members have the right to completely prohibit online gambling, if they wish to do so to combat fraud. (Id.)
The gambling industry, in principle, does not oppose regulation at the EU level, but spokesmen have voiced their concerns about the effectiveness of such an action. Malcolm Bruce, a representative of Belfair, one of the world's biggest online gambling companies, expressed the sentiments of the industry by stating "[w]e welcome strong regulation and would like to see it across Europe. But it will be hard to find regulators that are competent enough to regulate the online gambling market." (Id.)

Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
I'm stunned. Seriously, I am literally stunned with this guitar at this price. Just a stupid good guitar at a stupid great price. Been playing 41 years. Two Les Pauls, a Custom and a Studio, and a Strat. Compared to the Gibsons and the Fender this PRS SE Bernie Marsden is FAR better in every tangible and auditory way. Based on the money that I have paid in the past for Gibsons and a Fender, I can not believe how much guitar I got for how little money I paid. Gibson and Fender are simply not in even the same ballpark with this guitar in terms of quality and value. At this price point, PRS SE's are simply other worldly. I don't know how PRS does it ... I just beg PRS to KEEP DOING IT !!
Fantastic guitar for a fantastic price. Just amazingly good.

Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
Just got my PRS Bernie Marsden model 5 days ago as a 2nd guitar to my Gibson Custom Shop '58 Les Paul VOS. Well, I don't know if it will be number 2 or not. This guitar is awesome! The Vintage Sunburst finish is beautiful. the tone and playability is perfect. The wide fat neck is not as big as the neck on my Gibson but that's Ok. I use to own a PRS McCarty model and the Bernie Marsden model I feel is every bit as good. Don't let the low price fool you. This is a professional guitar HANDS DOWN. I did buy a SKB hardshell case to go with it. I just don't think a guitar of this quality belongs in a gig bag. So check this guitar out. PRS has got this guitar right on the money.

Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
I was looking around of a les paul type axe when I stumbled onto this one. Freakin-a this is a killer axe. Fit and finish are excellent, bound fretboard, chunky neck, not a heavy boat anchor les paul!! The tone is excellent. I play rock, southern rock and texas blues. This axe rocks out. Set up was very good right out of the box. If you are on the fence, don't wait, buy one, you won't be disappointed. Yeah the red PRS gig bag intakes a bit to get use to, but its a quality bag.

Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
Sound: Chunky, heavy humbucker bluesy tones from both Pups with the Neck Pup even chunkier than the Bridge. The sustain on this thing is unbelievable... 15 seconds plus. This is ideal for Blues, hard rock, anything with sustain cause this puppy has it in all positions. Really great sounding. Rather rich/full sound with the middle switch position (both Pups), a bit lighter and brighter at the bridge and full/rich in the neck position. Great quiet Pups. No hum but when cranked up to volume 10 you get some nice harmonics and overtones with distortion. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: Magnificent finish. Really perfect. Think Rolls Royce quality and it is really that good. I pulled apart the pups and the bridge etc and looked at the joins, lining etc. Each and all are PERFECT. Very pretty finish and a GREAT looking guitar. Nice veneer top and a heavy base. Really chunky and high quality. Much like Bernie's 1959 Gibson beast. Think of this as a mini beast.
Zero flaws on this thing. Intonation = 100/100 all up and down... Just tuned this thing and started playing. Action = low and ideal. Zero buzz. Great playability. Tuners are good not great.
The nut - many reviews complain about the nut. Mine for some reason is very good... Really good. = 95/100. All the hardware is nice, effective and rock solid. // 10
Reliability & Durability: Tough and strong, heavy, chunky, reliable. Many people replace the nut and upgrade the Pups but I love it all. You can gig with this and I think the tough finish will survive. I am rough on things and this thing is SOLID. Bounced it a few times and zero damage. I mean NADA. The strap buttons are good with my straps but you may want to add lockers etc if you are very active with it. // 10
Impression: I usually play Strats and wanted a Gibson but this thing is WAY > Gibson Studios and guitars 2-3 times the price in that RANGE.
- Fret work is perfect
- Woodwork all ideal
- Intonation spot on
- Tones in all 3 positions is nice
- Tough
- Pretty
- Blokey
Great for rock, blues, anything rhythm. Not for shredding... The neck is one big bad chunky monkey. If you play lead on Frets 15-22 you will need some dexterity as the neck base and body join are HUGE. Really HUGE. Which I think adds to the tonal qualities but not the lead QC.
I love this thing. PRS Guitars have the best QC IMHO

Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
Read a lot of reviews before buying. I figured would be an OK guitar....but got alot more than I expected.
Looks: very pretty guitar. The pictures certainly don't do it justice.
Neck: very playable. Neck comfort and how the guitar plays is very important to me. The neck on this guitar is a little fatter than I like for playing lead but comfortable, especially for rhythm.
Pickups: OK. This is the one place that I could see lowering my rating -- but I didn't. I like the sound of this guitar better than alot of the SE models that I have played. The tone is very different than my Gibson guitars or Fender Strat so makes a good addition. Maybe I'll swap pickups some day but for now, I'm OK.
Would highly recommend this guitar if wanting to buy a lower priced guitar. For that matter, would recommend even if money is not an issue. I have bought guitars that were significantly more expensive and did not get near the guitar. I actually like this guitar better than a lot of the more expensive PRS guitars that I have played -- mostly because of the feel of the neck. I certainly have no regrets buying this guitar.
Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
Only thing stopping it from being a "10" for me are some personal preferences:
Wish it had 4 knobs to allow seperate Tone control for Neck & Bridge.
Wish the gig bag wasn't the putrid "cranberry" color. The SE Gigbags are great quality bags but look better in dark grey or black.
Top carve and binding on the top give this guitar a real nice Les Paul-ish feel. Weighed in at 8 lbs. even so was a tad lighter than I had hoped.
LOVE the neck on this guitar!! I compared the neck on the Marsden to a 59 Les Paul replica and it was exactly the same. A nice full "D" profile should appeal to most players. It is not a baseball bat (like I wish it was... thought it'd be more "beastly" like Bernie's 59 neck) nor is it a thin 60's.
Rating as "5" = average to me. It is a guitar with all the standard "features" of a guitar.
I've owned 4 PRS SE guitars and they all are very good build quality. The Marsden seems to be even a notch higher! Wood grain in all areas is beautiful to behold as well as to hear. Finish was flawless. SOLID feeling 8lb. guitar with great tone and easy playability.
PRS SE's are one of the best values out there!
Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
The PRS SE lin ise are a lot of bang for the buck. The Bernie plays fast, sounds good, has a great finish. No setupsues at all. I own a SE Singlecut and PRS SE Soapbar. All are really nice guitars. A very good working man's guitar. The Bernie seems to fit into the mix better than the SC for some reason live.
The Bernie plays fast, sounds good, has a great finish. No setup issues at all.
The only thing to improve is the nut and maybe the tuners. Tusc nut would be a great improvement.
The PRS SE lin ise are a lot of bang for the buck.
Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
You will be blown away by this one. Best guitar that I have ever owned. Including ones by Gibson ans Fender.
The neck feels great to me. Makes for a smoother playing experience.
10 times the quality of an Epiphone LP.
I don't think you will find anything this good for this price.
Comments about PRS SE Bernie Marsden Signature Electric Guitar:
Let me preface this review by saying I have been playing guitar for a long time, and have owned too many guitars to count. I recently sold my Gibson Les Paul Standard plus in order to pay some bills, and I was very upset about it. Well after paying off some things, I had a little money left over, and thought I would try to make myself feel a little better about selling my Gibson, and go get a new guitar. After some research I found this Bernie Marsden PRS SE on the internet, and it looked great. I just knew it wouldn't compare to my Gibson, but I went ahead and ordered one from a different company that happened to have one in stock. It arrived a few days later, and I am stiil trying to remember what that guitar was that I sold. This Bernie Marsden model completely blows my Les Paul out of the water. It is unbelievable in every way. The top is the sweetest I have ever seen, the color is phenomenal, the neck is perfect, and the pickups will hold up to anything out there. Perfectly setup right out of the box, and I didn't even have to tune it! I am still speechless everytime I pick it up. These PRS SE's are the absolute best guitar for the money out there. If you're thinking about forking out the big bucks on a Gibson or other big name guitar, check this baby out and save a ton. I could go on and on about this guitar......MAN, IT IS SOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!!!

Re: teacake does Stargate: punch it
I can't remember what I did with Crusade.. or whether it mattered. Just saying "Crusade" makes me want to do a rewatch though. But that's mainly because of the books.
Hey Crusade and Caprica should form a support group for one season spin off failures.
"My name is Caprica and I'm.. a dud. I admit I am powerless over the ratings."
: Did not see the ending coming. Though never a huge replicator fan it's a great relaunch of the storyline. A little disturbed at Carter's decisions. I could blame it on her getting Carter-R's hand stuck in her head but she made the decision to let Carter-R do that. What is it with people wanting to trust their Doppelgangers? Well Janeway didn't but it seems a common impulse to have extra sympathy just because someone looks like you. Even weirder if it's not alternative timeline/universe you but a machine!! I mean really Carter.. I'm kind of disappointed here. Is it that all your friends are males? Did some latent girlfriend gene get triggered and you lost your head when you saw Carter-R in that gorgeous coat? Pictured yourself out shopping with her?
And as to what O'Neill pictured..

Lindsay Salmon 1914 - 1973
The Drift Chalet - Hotham Heights
The Mt Hotham Ski School
A legend in his time. The Ace Instructor. Mr Hotham & King of Hotham
A stone monument, stands isolated on top of Mt Higginbotham as testimony to Lindsay Salmon's efforts in the early development of Mt Hotham as a ski resort. The reader is drawn into the picture as Mt Hotham grows from a gold mining outpost to the premier ski resort it has become today as it paints vivid and effective portraits of pioneering individuals who lived a life style few Australians have experienced. Featuring - The Albury Ski Club, The Alpine Club, Mt Hotham, Mt Buffalo, Middle East. The History of skiing. Early skis, different styles of skiing, wax and clothing.
The Drift Chalet
Set in north-eastern Victoria's high country, where man is governed by nature's forces, the names Lindsay Salmon, the Drift Chalet and Mt Hotham are synonymous. The story pays tribute to a remarkable man, a hero, who fought against all odds in order to carve out a career for himself on the white-roof of Australia. After a romantic interlude on top of Mt Hotham in 1945 Lindsay met Pat Vietz, they eloped on skis to be wed in Bright; a story that deserved to be filmed.
"A gripping tale full of history, emotion, hardships and triumph - Tony Kewish"
1st Australian Corps Ski School - The Cedars Lebanon.
Lindsay Salmon was one of six Australians to be chosen to teach the troops to ski in combat in the Lebanon Mountains during the second World War. The reader is drawn into the picture as Mt Hotham grows from a gold mining outpost to the premier ski resort it has become today.
It is not only the biography of Lindsay Salmon, but also an autobiography, as I, the author, explore my relationship with my father and the mountain I once called home. Of course it will not only appeal to people interested in snow, skiing, mountain life, and Mt Hotham in particular, but equally it will captivate a much wider and general audience as a true tale of bravery and adventure, as amazing achievements always will.

On the day OU fired its men's basketball coach after five seasons, many of the reasons were obvious. Not enough wins. Too many seasons without postseason play. Not enough fans. Too many NCAA investigations.

A technical failure on Peninsula Flight 2549 leaves the lives of the people on board in danger. The entire economy class has been knocked out by a drugged cocktail. In business class, the male flight attendants deal with the anxieties of the passengers and their own tangled relationships with the pilots – Joserra (Javier Cámara) is having an affair with the married captain Ãlex (Antonio de la Torre), while co-pilot Benito (Hugo Silva) is maintaining his straightness just a little too forcefully for the horny Ulloa (Raúl Arévalo). As the plane hangs fatefully in the air, the lives on board become complicated by their loved ones down below, and the close quarters bring drama, sex and flamboyance to the fore.
Pedro Almodóvar's recent career has seen his status as one of the foremost auteurs cemented by bringing his vibrant, colourful style to a series of dramas more sober than the camp, sexy comedy he'd made his name with in the 1980s. I'm So Excited might be a conscious change of pace, but, despite the obvious gloss of flamboyant low comedy, the director's nineteenth feature contains the same astute mixture of politics, sex and imagination that has made his films so distinctive.
Much like the first class passengers don't notice the sleeping masses in the cabin behind them, Almodóvar doesn't push the allegories here too hard – it's up to the viewer, or the reviews they read, to read the current Spanish political situation into the layout of the plane, as the richer people drink, drug and screw themselves out of self-awareness. Almodóvar pushes a bit too hard on the transgressive button, shyly consigning gay sex to a mile-high toilet comedy cliché while allowing Bruna (Lola Dueñas) to get her rocks off on top of one of the sleeping men in business class. In a comedy where nearly every character's self-absorption is only offset by the bright colours of the Peninsula aeroplane, consensual sex might not work within the boundaries of thematic coherence.
Not that I'm So Excited needs to be coherent – and it's probably the film's greatest weakness that it isn't more fanciful. The performance is the eponymous song is a camp delight that really lets Cámara, Arévalo and third attendant Carlos Areces let loose, but it's one of the few really joyous moments in a comedy higher on the acerbic. Almodóvar regulars Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz cameo in the prelude, as airport workers causing the plane's later problems, but they're playing a bright level the script hasn't even thought of. As the film progresses, it becomes reliant on the actors to provide the pep that the script runs out of – thankfully, with reliable hands like Cecilia Roth in the passenger seat, and the energetic leads running about, the fuel never runs out.
Breezy, brisk and buoyant, I'm So Excited never quite matches its title, but the sparkling verve of the Pointer Sisters' classic is a hard thing to maintain for an entire film. What Almodóvar gives us instead is a reminder of the messier side of life and the escapist fun. Playing things out almost entirely on another atmospheric level, I'm So Excited is the director's least realistic film so far – but the drama is just back there, through the curtains, if you care to look. But that might be less fun.
I'm So Excited is in cinemas from Friday 3 May. Featured image courtesy Publicity Media.

Just Kidsby Patti Smith
Staff Pick
In her memoir Just Kids, Smith chronicles her lifelong friendship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe. A gifted wordsmith, she's vividly observant and sometimes painfully self-aware, with a voice possessed not only of yearning but also of experience.
"It's a fable and a tragedy, about a boy from Long Island and a girl from New Jersey who fell in love and lived for art and made it big without giving in or selling out. They never quit on each other, not after nature pulled them apart and not after a plague hit the city and took Mapplethorpe in 1989.
'Patti, did art get us?' Mapplethorpe asked, dying of AIDS.
She told him she didn't know, didn't want to think about it. 'Only a fool would regret being had by art; or a saint,' she writes." Jeff Baker, The Oregonian (read the entire Oregonian review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It was the summer Coltrane died, the summer of love and riots, and the summer when a chance encounter in Brooklyn led two young people on a path of art, devotion, and initiation.
Patti Smith would evolve as a poet and performer, and Robert Mapplethorpe would direct his highly provocative style toward photography. Bound in innocence and enthusiasm, they traversed the city from Coney Island to Forty-second Street, and eventually to the celebrated round table of Max's Kansas City, where the Andy Warhol contingent held court. In 1969, the pair set up camp at the Hotel Chelsea and soon entered a community of the famous and infamous — the influential artists of the day and the colorful fringe. It was a time of heightened awareness, when the worlds of poetry, rock and roll, art, and sexual politics were colliding and exploding. In this milieu, two kids made a pact to take care of each other. Scrappy, romantic, committed to create, and fueled by their mutual dreams and drives, they would prod and provide for one another during the hungry years.
Just Kids begins as a love story and ends as an elegy. It serves as a salute to New York City during the late sixties and seventies and to its rich and poor, its hustlers and hellions. A true fable, it is a portrait of two young artists' ascent, a prelude to fame.
"In 1967, 21-year-old singer-songwriter Smith, determined to make art her life and dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities in Philadelphia to live this life, left her family behind for a new life in Brooklyn. When she discovered that the friends with whom she was to have lived had moved, she soon found herself homeless, jobless, and hungry. Through a series of events, she met a young man named Robert Mapplethorpe who changed her life — and in her typically lyrical and poignant manner Smith describes the start of a romance and lifelong friendship with this man: It was the summer Coltrane died. Flower children raised their arms... and Jimi Hendrix set his guitar in flames in Monterey. It was the summer of "Elvira Madigan", and the summer of love.... This beautifully crafted love letter to her friend (who died in 1989) functions as a memento mori of a relationship fueled by a passion for art and writing. Smith transports readers to what seemed like halcyon days for art and artists in New York as she shares tales of the denizens of Max's Kansas City, the Hotel Chelsea, Scribner's, Brentano's, and Strand bookstores. In the lobby of the Chelsea, where she and Mapplethorpe lived for many years, she got to know William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Johnny Winter. Most affecting in this tender and tough memoir, however, is her deep love for Mapplethorpe and her abiding belief in his genius. Smith's elegant eulogy helps to explain the chaos and the creativity so embedded in that earlier time and in Mapplethorpe's life and work."(Jan.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.)
"Riveting and exquisitely crafted." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
In Just Kids, Patti Smith's first book of prose, the legendary American artist offers a never-before-seen glimpse of her remarkable relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe in the epochal days of New York City and the Chelsea Hotel in the late sixties and seventies. An honest and moving story of youth and friendship, Smith brings the same unique, lyrical quality to Just Kids as she has to the rest of her formidable body of work — from her influential 1975 album Horses to her visual art and poetry.
This breakout novel from a brilliant stylist—dropping us into the life a female rock star—centers on that moment when we decide whether to go all-in or give up our dreams
From the best-selling author of Fun Home,and#160;Time magazine's No. 1 Book of the Year, a poignant and hilariousand#160; graphic memoir ofand#160;Alison Bechdeland#160;becoming the artist her giftedand#160;mother alwaysand#160;wanted to be
Smith's evocative, honest, and moving coming-of-age story reveals her extraordinary relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe. Part romance, part elegy, Just Kids is about friendship in the truest sense, and the artist's calling.
From the best-selling author of Fun Home, Time magazineand#8217;s No. 1 Book of the Year, a brilliantly told graphic memoir of Alison Bechdel becoming the artist her mother wanted to be.
Alison Bechdeland#8217;s Fun Home was a pop culture and literary phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter good night, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of the iconic twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdeland#8217;s own (serially monogamous) adult love life. And, finally, back to Motherand#8212;to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.

Earnings of part-timers
July 02, 2002
Women who worked part time—that is, less than 35 hours per week—accounted for 24.6 percent of all female wage and salary workers in 2001. In contrast, just 10.6 percent of men in wage and salary jobs worked part time.
Median weekly earnings of female part-time workers were $186, or 36.4 percent of the median for women who worked full time. The earnings of male part-time workers ($168) were somewhat lower than those of female part-timers. This is largely because, unlike women, male part-time workers are highly concentrated in the youngest age groups, which typically have lower earnings. In 2001, about 54 percent of male part-time workers were 16 to 24 years old, compared with 32 percent of female part-timers.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2001," BLS Report 960 (PDF 219K).

Design Crush: Furniture with Fabric TextureMay 15th, 2013
A few years ago I toured some local model homes and spied a beautiful media cabinet in a townhome with inset grasscloth panels – yum! Since then I've been a fan of pieces of furniture that incorporate fabric or organic texture into the design, be it linen or grasscloth or burlap, and even animal skin.
I'm inspired by anyone who can pull off a great DIY version too, check out this dresser covered in grasscloth and nailhead trim! Find the this detailed tutorial at Elsee blog – she transformed a simple Hemnes dresser into a chic changing table, wow!
I see a lot of high end furniture with fabric texture out in the marketplace and my mind is always clicking into the "bet you could DIY for less" mode. I absolutely love this Bretton Console from Jayson Home by at $950 it's pricey. To create the look for less, combine this $69 Parsons console with burlap and upholstery tacks and you could end up with a fabulous knock off.
… or apply a similar (but more detailed) treatment to a $299 Birkeland dresser from IKEA to achieve the look of the $2,400 Magdalena dresser from Horchow. Patience required!

Floodwaters, rain affect 31,000 families-A A +A
Wednesday, January 15, 2014
AT LEAST 31,352 families are still seeking shelter in 92 evacuation centers all over Davao Region in areas affected by the continuous downpour brought by the Low Pressure Area (LPA) since January 11.
Throughout Mindanao, travel has become more difficult with the collapse of major bridges and flight cancellations.
The latest bridge that collapsed is the Napo-Lapayan Bridge at the boundary of Linamon and Kauswagan in Lanao del Norte paralyzing land transport between northern and western Mindanao.
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)-Davao Regional Director Mariano Alquiza said the sudden rise of river water level caused by heavy rain had affected several bridges mostly in Davao Oriental with six of those structures were not passable as strong current of floodwater damaged them.
Alquiza said that eight of the affected bridges are located in Davao Oriental, seven of which are located at Surigao Sur-Davao Coastal Road and one in Tibanban-Lavigan Road.
He noted that among those bridges declared by the authorities which were not passable along Surigao Sur-Davao Coastal Road in Davao Oriental are Quinonoan Bridge in the town of Tarragona (due to damaged bridge approach); Caraga Bridge (damaged on Pier 13) and Governor Teodoro Palma Gil (Manurigao) Bridge (scoured bridge approach), both in the municipality of Caraga; and Lumao Bridge in Cateel (totally washed-out).
He also added that three other bridges were affected by the scouring of approach namely Ibobotoc and Dakung Banua Bridges in Boston, and Taytayan Bridge in Cateel but are passable to vehicular traffic with DPWH maintenance crew deployed for embankment works and appropriate warning signs installed to forewarn motorists.
Meanwhile, Magdug Bridge along Tibanban-Lavigan Road in the municipality of Governor Generoso was declared not passable to all types of vehicle due to eroded bridge approach.
Also, Governor Miranda Bridge 1 in Tagum City, Davao del Norte was also closed to traffic due to floodwater approaching the bridge, forcing the diversion of southbound vehicular traffic to Governor Miranda Bridge 2.
As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, 18 flights of Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, and AirAsia Zest heading two and from Cagayan de Oro City were cancelled.
In Davao Region, local disaster risk reduction authorities urge the public to remain vigilant as the low pressure area continues to bring rain all over the region.
Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) director Loreto Rirao, in a phone interview, said 16 municipalities, two cities, and 100 barangays experienced flooding and landslides affecting 152,276 individuals.
In Davao City, around 55 families or 275 individuals from Jade Valley, Barangay Tigatto and El Rio Subdivision in Barangay 19 in Davao City were evacuated to the safer grounds when rivers nearby overflowed. They have since returned home as river levels subsided.
The OCD recorded 15 deaths, of which six were from Compostela Valley, eight from Davao Oriental and one from Davao del Norte; 34 injured and 13 missing. As to the agriculture damage, the OCD noted P11,340,575 million worth of damage in Davao del Norte.
"According to the initial report of the local government unit in Davao del Norte, pinakamalaking damage comes from Tagum City. In Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley, wala pa silang naisa-submit na report," Rirao said.
"Actually, we are currently (Tuesday) conducting meeting with the concerned government agencies to discuss on the matter (submission of the estimated damages)… na kahit wala pa yung disaster, maka pag-submit man lang sana sila ng initial report," Rirao added.
Flashfloods occurred in the Municipalities of Asuncion, Kapalong and New Corella, Davao del Norte; also in the Municipalities of Monkayo, Montevista, New Bataan, Pantukan, and Compostela.
Landslides took placed in New Corella town and Tagum City, Davao del Norte, and Cateel town and Tarragona town in Davao Oriental Province due to continuous downpour.
Based in the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) report as of 4 a.m. on Tuesday, a total of 8,284 hectares of 10 municipalities has been damaged in Davao Oriental. No estimated amount yet.
The NDRRMC also noted 10 landslide incidents and five flashfloods in Region 10, 11, and Caraga Region. A total of 40,640 families composed of 199,327 individuals are affected in 192 barangays in 48 municipalities in 10 provinces of the three regions in Mindanao.
Report also said that the irrigation dams in Aragon and Taytayan, Cateel in Davao Oriental were damaged due to flashfloods.
Compostela Valley Provincial Governor Arthuro Uy issued suspension of classes to all levels in the province on January 13.
Rirao said the OCD placed Davao Region under alert status. He added that a continuous monitoring and coordination with the government officials in its area of responsibility is still being conducted.
"Our rescue and relief operation is still ongoing. Sa mga gustong tumulong o magbigay ng kanilang in-kind donations please coordinate with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)," Rirao said.
Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) Public Information Office head Capt. Alberto Caber, on the other hand, said their unit deployed close to 400 government troops from Army's 10th Infantry Division to assist the local government official in Davao Region.
Caber added that the troops were deployed to New Corrella in Davao del Norte, Comval, and in the municipalities of Taragona, Boston, Cateel, Baganga, Caraga and Manay, Davao Oriental.
There were also around 400 soldiers under the 4th Infantry Division deployed in various areas in Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte, which had also affected with the LPA.
Eastmincom commander Lt. Gen. Ricardo Rainier Cruz III directed all military unit in its area to join with the municipals Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council volunteers, local officials and PNP for the rescue and relief operations. (Sun.Star Davao)

Although the most well known addiction recovery group is based on alcoholism, there are other addictions, and other programs as well. There are programs for drug addicts, shoplifters, and compulsive gamblers. But across the Cape, there is another program for those struggling with food control issue: Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA).
In order to educate food addicts, medical professionals, friends, and family, FA will hold Cape-wide information sessions the week of May 15, including a meeting at Centerville's Adult Social Day Center on Monday, May 15, at 7 p.m.
"For people who have been struggling, this is a terrific attempt to try," said Elaine, an FA member from the town of Barnstable who attends meetings in Centerville, Sandwich, and Wareham. Because FA bases much of its success on anonymity, only the first names of members will be used.
She will be overseeing the meeting. Along with speakers who have been successful with the program, there will also be a question and answer- type discussion.
FA is an offshoot of the older, more widely established Overeaters Anonymous, with some fairly large differences. Those who started FA "wanted a more disciplined 12 step for food," said Tracy, an FA member from Mashpee.
FA is based on the tenants of the 12 steps established by Alcoholics Anonymous. The program uses AA principles to conduct its meetings and to create a new way to live for its members. The program focuses not only on controlling harmful eating habits, but on restoring the mind and soul as well.
As AA stresses abstinence from alcohol, FA stresses the control of food addiction by abstinence from flour, sugar, and other binge foods, said Elaine. Binge foods include any other type of food that an FA member finds particularly troublesome or addictive.
"There are measured meals and disciplined boundaries around the food," Tracy said. For many members, following the program is difficult.
"It's a very insidious disease," she said, because the abused substance can't be avoided. "You have to eat."
In order to combat the difficulties of the program, FA members are assigned sponsors to help them through difficult parts. Sponsors are members who have been successful for a long period of time. Members are never done with the program, and many continue to attend meetings even after years of abstinence from the foods.
At various locations across the Cape, there are FA meetings for anyone who feels they need help. According to Elaine, each meeting sees between 10 and 30 people, both new members and old. The Centerville meeting usually sees between 15 and 20 each time.
FA meetings are open to anyone, said Elaine. There are both men and women in attendance. And, though many people attend the meetings to lose weight, they also welcome anyone who struggles with other food control issues, such as anorexia, bulimia, or other eating disorders. Even children who feel they have lost control of their eating are welcome.
A Variety of Reasons
"We've been growing on the Cape," Elaine said. Members are often recommended by family, friends, or by medical professionals. It is this latter group that FA hopes will attend next week's informational sessions to find lasting solutions for their patients.
People attend meetings for a variety of reasons. "For some. it's health; for most people, it's vanity," Tracy said.
But for both Elaine and Tracy, the problem was more than skin deep. Both women, after having dieted since their teenage years, were finally ready to find a solution to their eating addiction.
Tracy, who has been a member of FA for six years but had tried dieting for 30 years before, wasn't yet obese when she attended her first meeting.
"It wasn't a matter of my health being in danger. It was a matter of being spiritually dead," she said. For her, the food was a way to avoid dealing with other problems in her life. It took her a few months to realize, she said, that the food was affecting every aspect of her life, not just her health.
The program helped her lose weight, and also regain her spirituality.
"This is the first thing I've ever done that I've ever kept the weight off," Tracy said. She continues to attend meetings, although she has been abstinent since 2000.
For Elaine, the program "was a life changer." A member for 21 months, Elaine lost 125 pounds in the first 11 months following FA guidelines, and has been able to keep it off.
When her therapist recommended FA as a way for her to begin to control her food addiction and its underlying issues, Elaine said, she reluctantly attended.
"I was really tired of dieting and gaining it back," she said. "I didn't want to try anything, and yet I was so willing ... I kind of surrendered." Since she has been abstinent from sugar, flour, and her binge foods, both her physical and mental health have improved because, she said, FA tackles not just the food addiction but the underlying problem as well.
Although FA changed her life, it doesn't control her life. After learning the ins and outs of the program, Elaine said, she is still able to go out to dinner or celebrate with friends. Moreover, her family is "thrilled" with her new lifestyle.
Both she and Tracy hope that the information sessions across the Cape will inspire others with similar problems to take action.
"I'm 54. I've been overweight since I was 13," Elaine said. Despite the difficulties associated with a strict food program, she continues to follow it. "What's really exciting is I think I can live this way."

Fix missing images on your website
If you added or updated an image in your website, and you can't see it when you view your page, or the image appears broken, try these troubleshooting ideas.
Publish your site
If you add an image — or any new content — you won't see it on your website online until you publish. Publishing makes your latest website content available on the Internet.
To publish with Yahoo Site Solution or Yahoo SiteBuilder, just click Publish in the toolbar. Learn how to publish with other tools.
Refresh the page
To help web pages appear more quickly when viewed again, most web browsers will store, or cache, the files that are automatically requested by visiting a website. Storing those files lets your browser more quickly reload pages from the cache rather than transferring information across the Web over and over.
If you recently replaced an image, and you can't see the new one on your web page, you may need to prompt your browser to remove the old image from its cache. Try refreshing your page by clicking on the web page, then holding down Ctrl+F5 on your PC keyboard (Option+R on a Mac).
Clear the cache
If the new image still doesn't show after refreshing the page this way, try manually clearing the browser's cache. Learn how to clear your browser's cookies and cache.
Upload your image again
To display your images, your site must be able to find your images among your website files. If you use Yahoo Site Solution to build your site, we'll add those images to your Web Hosting account automatically. If you can see the images when you edit your site, you can be sure they've been added to your account.
If you used SiteBuilder or a third-party tool to create your page, you'll have to upload your images to Yahoo's servers so they can be displayed. SiteBuilder will upload your images automatically whenever you publish your site.
If you used another tool, you can use our Easy Upload utility or an FTP program to upload the images into your File Manager. If you've already uploaded the file but can't see it when you view your page, or the image appears broken, try uploading it again; the file could've been damaged during the upload process.
Check the image path
If you moved your image from one folder to another in a site you built with SiteBuilder or another advanced tool, the browser may be unable to find the image, so the image will appear broken.
Check the expected path of a broken image by right-clicking on the broken image icon in your browser and selecting "View Image." In the address bar of your browser, you'll see the address of your image, which will look something like this:
Now return to your site building tool and look in the folder(s) whose names appear after your domain name in the image address. In our example above, we'd look in the folder subdirectory1, then subdirectory2. If the file called my_image.jpg isn't saved in this folder, the browser won't be able to display the image. To fix the problem, move the image to the correct folder (subdirectory2) or upload the image again to that location (see above), or edit the HTML so that it calls for the image in its current location.
Check your HTML
To display the uploaded image, your file must include the necessary HTML code. If you're writing your own code (rather than using one of our easy-to-use tools), be sure it looks like this (replace ".jpg" with .gif, .png, or .bmp, depending on the file type):
If your image is in a subdirectory, use the following code (replace "subdirectory" with the name of your subdirectory):
You can also write an image reference using the complete image URL:
Be sure the name of the image file in your code exactly matches the name of your file, using the correct extension (.jpg, .gif, .png, or .bmp), and that casing (upper/lower case) matches. Any inconsistencies in your file name will cause the image not to display when you open the page in a browser (the browser will display a broken image icon).
Check the file type
If your image still won't display, check the file type. All image files should be saved as a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or BMP file, which end with .jpg, .gif, .png, or .bmp.
Please note that simply renaming the file won't change the file type (and could, in fact, corrupt it). You need to use an image editing program to convert the file into a JPEG, GIF, PNG, or BMP file before uploading it to your File Manager.
Thank you! Your feedback has successfully been submitted.

Archive for the 'Jeep SJ' tag
Jeep's Wagoneer, progenitor of the modern SUV, turns 50
Images courtesy OldCarBrochures.com.
In this age of soft-roaders, full-time all-wheel drive and leather-interior pickup trucks, it's easy to forget that 50 years ago most families towed their boats or campers with passenger cars and that four-wheel-drive vehicles were largely used by just ranchers and farmers. Nobody had yet heard the term SUV because the utility vehicles they all knew had yet to really become sporty, but the Jeep Wagoneer – introduced 50 years ago – began to change all that.
Willys-Overland had already done much to familiarize the American consumer with four-wheel drive in the years immediately after World War II through the Civilian Jeep and the various Jeep products. However, the CJ would forever remain a niche vehicle, and industrial designer Brooks Stevens saw far more potential in developing a full lineup of vehicles based on the four-wheel-drive Jeep – at a time when even the Big Three relied on outside firms to convert their pickups to four-wheel drive. Stevens's initial proposal, a four-wheel-drive station wagon, entered production in 1946. His biographer, Glenn Adamson, called the Jeep Model 463 Station Wagons "suburban leisure vehicles… a car that performed equally well for family outings and moving furniture. The formula proved so successful that the station wagon was immediately recast as an all-purpose family car for the American middle class." Yet the Station Wagon and its pickup versions gained more of a reputation for ruggedness and grew long in the tooth, with almost no significant changes over the next 16 years. By the early 1960s, Jeep – by then owned by Kaiser – began to design a vehicle that would actually be more at home in a driveway than on an old logging road.
The end result, the Wagoneer, debuted in October 1962 as a 1963 model. Also designed by Stevens, the Wagoneer offered more amenities that would appeal to the suburban family than its predecessor. It grew in wheelbase (110 inches versus 104 inches) to accommodate two more doors and a corresponding increase in rear passenger space and ride quality. It used the torquey A.C. Sampietro-designed 230-cu.in. overhead-camshaft hemi-headed Tornado six-cylinder engine, introduced in mid-1962. It offered an optional automatic transmission – the first time an automatic transmission could be had in any four-wheel-drive vehicle. And it could come with independent front suspension – another first for a four-wheel-drive vehicle. In addition, the Wagoneer's Deluxe (later Custom) version upgraded the rubber floor mats to carpeting and added flashier trim.
The Wagoneer's essential design remained in production until 1991, far longer than its predecessor, and through three corporate parents (Kaiser-Willys, AMC, and Chrysler). It became progressively more upscale and luxurious over those nearly 30 years, as best seen in the Wagoneer Limited: Jeep introduced the Limited in 1978, making it the first four-wheel-drive vehicle with leather upholstery, and six years later it became the famed Grand Wagoneer. Yet Jeep also based the sporty two-door Cherokee and all of its variants on the Wagoneer. The Tornado six-cylinder engine only lasted a few years, eventually replaced with AMC's six-cylinder and V-8 engines, and a number of four-wheel-drive systems – including Jeep's famed Quadra-Trac full-time system – found their way underneath the Wagoneer and its descendants.
Today, the International Full-Size Jeep Association serves the community of owners of the Wagoneer and its descendants – commonly known as SJs by Jeep enthusiasts. The IFSJA has at least three major meets scheduled for this year, including the East Coast Invasion June 13-16 in North Carolina's Uwharrie's National Forest, the Midwest Invasion July 13-14 at Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky, and the Ouray Invasion July 17-19 in Ouray, Colorado.

Gulfport Energy Corp. searching globe for oil
Gulfport also has acquired acreage in Ohio's Utica shale, one of the nation's hottest new oil plays.
"That'll be our big growth area next year," Palm said.
The company intends to drill 1,000 wells there in the next few years.
He said Gulfport aims to buy into areas with a lot of oil in place, using new technology like directional drilling to extract as much of it as possible.
Palm said the Niobrara shale in Colorado and Wyoming has seen lots of activity, but some of the buzz has gone away.
Gulfport has some holdings in northwest Colorado, where Palm said the company will begin drilling aggressively by next spring.
It currently is interpreting data from scientific wells on the company's acreage.
Moore said Gulfport will continue to focus on crude oil exploration, despite the commodity's price fluctuations.
"It's a world commodity with world demand," he said.
But he would not rule out a switch to increased natural gas production, if conditions are right.
Investors seem to like Gulfport the way it is, with the market valuing the company for its strong balance sheet.
"Right now we have no debt," Moore said.
He said the company tends to be conservative. It raises money for acquisitions, not operations.
"We drill out of cash flow," Moore said.

The molecule, called SSEA-4, was found on the surface of certain stem cells in bone marrow that give rise to fat, cartilage and bone. These so-called mesenchymal cells are a tiny component of bone marrow; the vast majority of bone marrow is made up of hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to blood and immune cells.
Dr. Rita Perlingeiro, assistant professor in the Center for Developmental Biology and of molecular biology, said detecting SSEA-4 will aid in singling out the mesenchymal stem cells, or MSCs, for more detailed scientific study as well as for possible medical applications. The cells have shown promise in early clinical studies elsewhere, where scientists tested their use to repair bone defects and to attenuate the effects of bone loss in diseases such as osteoporosis.
The study is available online and will be published in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Blood.
Although mesenchymal cells were discovered in the 1970s, researchers still use decades-old methods to isolate them from bone marrow, said Dr. Perlingeiro, who led the research.
Exploiting the sugar molecule as a biological marker will boost researchers?ability to obtain a purer, more homogeneous population of MSCs. That's an important consideration, for example, in applications such as tissue engineering, where only bone-generating cells are needed. Such cells are being tested by a number of researchers for their ability to grow fat, cartilage and bone on special biomaterial-based scaffolding, with the goal of producing soft tissue for reconstruction or augmentation, or to shore up bones left fragile by age or disease.

"I've recently been discovering that the Adventures of Tintin by Herge were a big influence on Wallace and Gromit. After which a Tintin/Gromit was pretty much inevitable.There are a number of striking parallels between the Tintin and Wallace and Gromit stories, the most obvious of which is the close and loyal friendship between Tintin and Captain Haddock, and between Wallace and Gromit. Both sets of friends went on an adventure to the Moon - Nick Park has said that Wallace and Gromit's rocket, as well as the techno-trousers in "The Wrong Trousers", were derived from the Tintin adventures "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon". But my favourite parallel so far is the fact that, at the end of "Explorers on the Moon", Tintin's friend Captain Haddock is lying unconscious on a stretcher, apparently dying, but is suddenly and miraculously revived by the mention of his favourite drink, whisky! This was beautifully echoed near the end of "Curse of the Were-Rabbit", where Gromit revives Wallace with a piece of cheese - his favourite food! "

Based on the horror stories I've heard from friends, I approached our recent home renovations with the abject terror I normally reserve for palmetto bugs or Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. Given the scope of what Michael and I were about to do (interior and exterior work) and the timeframe in which to do it (begin a just before Thanksgiving with a deadline of Christmas Eve), I was pretty sure we were completely insane. It turns out there was really only one thing we lost a lot of sleep over.
Color choices.
During the Renovation Extravaganza of 2012, we had to chose colors for the roof, the exterior, a bedroom, some interior doors, and a ceiling. It was like being stuck in the Thunderdome with Sherwin Williams. We'd peer at color swatches for hours before finally slam-dunking a choice out of sheer exhaustion, then pick ourselves up off the ground only to get a right-hook from another contractor who wanted to know what shade of ecru to paint a 2″x2″ section of the back inside corner of the shed.
Take, for instance, what color shingles to put over the new roof. Prior to this undertaking, I thought there were only three roof colors to choose from in Florida: Brown, Black, and Someone-Threw-Up-Mangos orange. Wrong. There are approximately 76,082 different choices, each with a fractional difference in hue that's apparently visible to everyone by me.
The roofer was kind enough to supply us with a color chart and actual shingles so we could make our selection. We tried to give the process the full gravity it deserved and approach it with seriousness. Us being us, however, it quickly devolved into choking fits of laughter over the color names.
"Look! Here's 'Acorn Leaf Green.' We'll paint the exterior dark brown with a 'leaf green' roof. Everyone will think it's a tree and we'll have an invisible house! No, wait, then the pizza delivery guy won't be able to find it. Damn. That won't work."
"Here's something called 'Sovereign Cedar.' Skip that, I'd feel like I'd have to curtsey to HRH House every time I came home."
We eventually settled on Sand Drift because, frankly, we were tired and trying to conserve our strength for the other roofing decisions like, peel and stick vs felt backing, 25- vs 30-year warranty, added termite protection, and whether we wanted to cover it with glow in the dark sealant. Okay, I made that last one up but, seriously, how cool would that be?
We'd barely made it through that process when we were confronted with another major decision: What color to paint the exterior. This was way harder than the roof challenge because the options are, quite literally, limitless. Once you think you've figured out what you want the wall color to be, then you have to figure out trim color and everything goes downhill from there.
Exterior paint color is a huge commitment. Not only is it really expensive to change if you decide you don't like it, there's also a corner of your mind that knows your neighbors will judge you as a person once they see the finished product. Guess right and they bring you pie. Guess wrong and they walk their dogs on your lawn in the middle of the night.
By far, my "favorite" part of this whole ordeal was when, out of sheer desperation, I called the painter to ask for advice. I told him we'd narrowed it down to a possible choice but wanted to get his thoughts on how it would look with our landscaping and new roof. He said he'd love to help but, well, you see, he's color blind.
Color blind?!
Leave it to me to find the only color blind painter in North America. Shouldn't he disclose that on his business cards? Include it on his Angie's List page? I suppose this explains why he suggested during his proposal visit (I am not making this up) that we should "paint the house a nice shade of pumpkin." Do I look like Cinderella?
I didn't realize what an impact all the color-choosing had on us until last night when I told Michael that our lawn guy offered to paint our driveway for us. At first he looked happy, but then a shadow passed over his face as if I'd told him Daleks were being retired as a Doctor Who trope. About thirty seconds later I realized the same thing he had: We'd have to pick a freakin' color.
No. For the love of all things holy. No more color choices. Ever.
Michael looked down at his feet and quietly said, "Please tell me they make concrete paint that's just called, 'Driveway.'"
Man, I hope so.
