The Handyguys discuss how to evaluate home improvement ideas and whether finishing your basement is a job for the DIYer. They also discuss a new site for finding and reviewing contractors.
There are many projects to do around the house but sometimes the handy guy can bite off more then he (or she) can chew. The Handyguys discuss the basic issues to consider when determining whether a new projected should be contracted out or performed yourself.
Do you have the right tools and skills?
Even if you have the ability to do the job, there are a lot of issues to consider before doing it yourself. In addition to carpentry skills, you need time, patience, lots of tools and a good back to finish your basement. If you are lacking in any of these categories, you may want to consider hiring a contractor for the job.
The Handyguys then discuss an article from remodelingmagazine.com. Its their annual cost vs. value report. Some of the data is excerpted below.
Â© 2007 Hanley Wood, LLC. Reproduced by permission. Complete city data from the Remodeling 2007 Cost vs. Value Report can be downloaded for free at costvalue.remodelingmagazine.com.

What then?It was agreed that just hitting the yellow pages may not be a good route. You need some good, objective advice. You can get that advice at www.homestars.com.
This website is designed to help you review and research contractors that are in your local area. Check it out… it may save you a lot hassle in the future. Check it out!
Lastly – So, you are going to go through with it or you have already finished your basement.Â The Handyguys will be continuing to talk about finishing your basement over the next few weeks.

I am a firm believer of regular foot baths to detox my body. This product is phenomenal! It is hard to believe that so much dirt can come out of your body after one session. I know when it is time for a detox when my body starts to hurt. This product by Healthier Living 4 You is the best on the market. I have used other foot baths before but they did not even come close. I wholeheartedly recommend this product. I also convinced my sister to buy one ans she loves it too!
Unbelievable. I’ve worked with the old Ion Cleanse before and purchased from John and Craig over the years and they finally convinced me to upgrade to the 3 in 1. I’m impressed with the Infrared and the TENS and what I’m seeing with clients, how it’s so much mor beneficial having all three working on the person at once! People are really seeing the difference on the TENS on their muscles. And I see the Infrared helping pull out more toxins than just simply the Footbath alone! Thanks for convincing me to get this!
This is the second machine I have purchased for my clinic and the new model is very user friendly and reliable.
Best thing I ever did thanks John & Craig!!!!!
I bought my first 3-in-1 Detox Foot Bath about 6 years ago & I am very happy with the quality, accuracy & effectiveness of HL4Y’s system, support & products. Myself, my family (kids included) & clients enjoy the results of the cleanse. Many of my clients find that the colors & changes that appear in the water are quite accurate to their body’s conditions, lifestyle and/or habits. It’s quite common for my frequent clients to combine a detox series with a change in diet (more alkaline), change in lifestyle (increased exercise) as well as a change in habits (smoking, drinking, etc) resulting in a better quality of life. Craig and John are great to work with & sincerely care about our success & health, thank you for your support.

" Hey guys. I know it's s*** but Harley and I are cancelling the Rizzle kicks Nov/Dec tour. We're going to record a video to reaffirm why and emphasise our frustration but ultimately these are the reasons.
- We haven't released our album yet.
- We actually have made some really good music that we will be continuously drip feeding over the coming months and definitely giving you for free at points because it's ridiculous how long this has all dragged out.
- Harley is receiving help for his anxiety, and I'm documenting the process myself to raise awareness and hopefully help out others in a similar situation.
- When we rebook the tour it'll be off the back of a solid piece of work that we've already made instead of working towards.
We're seriously not happy that we're letting so many people down but we will only use November and December to ensure that 2017 flies as smoothly as possible - and that we're completely happy and that we feel balanced and that we're not coaxed into making anymore rash decisions.
You can help us take the reins back by supporting the music that we love to make when we release it.
We're just going to try and ensure the music is.

Amber is the collective name for a suite of programs that allow users to carry out molecular dynamics simulations, particularly on biomolecules. None of the individual programs carries this name, but the various parts work reasonably well together, and provide a powerful framework for many common calculations. The term amber is also sometimes used to refer to the empirical force field that is implemented here. It should be recognized however, that the code and force field are separate: several other computer packages have implemented the amber force field, and other force fields can be implemented with the amber programs. Further, the force field is in the public domain, whereas the codes are distributed under a license agreement.
A good general overview of the Amber codes can be found in: D.A. Case, T.E. Cheatham, III, T. Darden, H. Gohlke, R. Luo, K.M. Merz, Jr., A. Onufriev, C. Simmerling, B. Wang and R. Woods. The Amber biomolecular simulation programs. J. Computat. Chem. 26, 1668-1688 (2005).

An overview of the Amber protein force fields, and how they were developed, can be found in: J.W. Ponder and D.A. Case. Force fields for protein simulations. Adv. Prot. Chem. 66, 27-85 (2003). Similar information for nucleic acids is given by T.E. Cheatham, III and D.A. Case, Twenty-five years of nucleic acid simulations. Biopolymers, 99, 969-977 (2013).

Sounds dumb, but I’m 14 and have a sense of nostalgia for that game.
I remember I was like 6, sitting there watching my dad play it, and i asked him if I could try. I played that game so much, I sort of got obsessed with it. Anytime you looked at our computer, I was sitting there with the joystick in my hands and headphones on, blasting away at some convoy of rebel ships. I eventually started to talk like the commanders did, if I went out with my mom to get groceries, and she said we needed milk, I would say “Primary mission objective: Retrieve milk, secondary bonus mission objective: Get doughnuts” And my mom would laugh that I was talking like that when I was 6.
I’ve gone through four joysticks on the game alone. For a time I was even involved with the Emperor’s Hammer. (If you know what that is, you are a true geek.) I still play the game from time to time.
Currently, most of my time is spent playing EQ2. I just got my mount and I’m having a blast leveling up my Bruiser. Loads of good fun.
I’m also trying to play some more of the Halo 3 beta, but everytime I fire up Crackdown I end up playing Crackdown instead of H3. My new pastime in Crackdown is jumping up on the free way and running against traffic, seeing how many times I can get hit by oncoming traffic. Rag doll physics hilarity always ensues.
I’m also playing some Pokemon, but I’ve got Diamond. Good to hear you’ve got Pearl. Now it’s time to try it out online.
Just a site question: would it be possible for you guys to tweak the RSS so it displays the author of the post? I usually load up full posts for longer reads, but short ones get skimmed, so I wouldn’t be able to tell who was writing what (at least until I figure out your personal writing styles). It would be a help, thanks.
@Duncan – if that’s doable through WordPress, I’ll do it. If not, I’m not sure how to do it. I’ll look into it.

An InterNations survey report from 2014 titled “The World Through Expat Eyes” reveals the top countries for expats based on the responses of nearly 14,000 members of this international community of people living and working abroad. Surprisingly, Ecuador is the overall winner.
The survey was motivated by a desire to find out why expats relocate, how happy they are and how life is for expats abroad.
The rankings of 61 countries are based on many different categories, including quality of life index, ease of settling in index, the best countries for making friends, the most welcoming countries, working abroad index, family life index, personal finance and cost of living index among others.
These are the overall results of the most popular countries for expats in 2014, based on rankings across all the individual indices.
The survey found Ecuador to be the clear overall winner in terms of the most popular place for expats, because of its low cost of living and ease of making new friends. It also ranks high on the Personal Finance index, and around 82 percent of expats find it easy to settle down in this South American country.
Luxembourg is the next in line, popular among career-oriented people. Career opportunities were found to be a priority of 64 percent expats who moved abroad. Luxembourg was found to be one of the easiest destinations to find a job on your own, with two in five (40 percent) expats managing to get employed without the help of employers or through recruitment. This is the highest percentage for any other country in the survey. On the flip side, Luxembourg doesn't rank very high (ranking 32) when it comes to the ease of settling in or ease of making friends (ranking 46).
Mexico is also among the top countries, ranking high for the personal happiness and friendliness categories. 91 percent of expats are happy with their expat life in this country, and 44 percent of expats (the highest number across countries surveyed) would like to stay forever in Mexico.
Switzerland ranks fourth for its top spot in a number of categories including the general quality of life, travel and transport, and health, safety and well-being.
The countries at the bottom also need a mention. Greece, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are the least popular destinations for expats. Greece suffers low rankings in the Working Abroad index because of its recent economic crisis, low job security and poor ranking on the personal finance index. Saudi Arabia is number 60 on the list, because of its poor quality of life as well as leisure and activities rankings. Kuwait is right at the bottom of the list, largely due to the difficulty of settling in and making friends. Only 5 percent of respondents felt at home in the country and only 7 percent found it easy to make local friends.

So we had the knitting club, but I figured that left out our Crochet friends.
I’ve just picked up a cross stitch but I also know needle point. I’m trying to be more inclusive.
Hi I’m Hillary I mostly knit. And when I say I knit I mean I sit for hours on end watching a show until there is no show and sometimes I end up with a something.
I mostly knit shawls and scarves. Shawls for me Scarves for the homeless (with hats.) I’ve also gotten into the pesky habit of selling scarves from Doctor Who.

Euboulos' "Ankylion" is represented by only four fragments (frr. 1-3KA = frr. 1-4 Hunter), all culled from Athenaeus, which tells us nothing about the plot of the play or about the identity of its titular character. R.L. Hunter, in his recent commentary on Eubolus, discusses at length the name "Ankylion"1 and concludes that it could belong to either (1) a humble and poor man;2 (2) "a character from folklore notorious for sexual relations with his mother";3 or (3) "a wily slave such as those foreshadowed in Aristophanes and familiar from New Comedy".4 In view of our ignorance of the play's plot, each of these possibilities has an equal claim to our consideration. I believe, however, that the context in which the fragments are embedded in Athananeus allows us to refine our understanding of the name even further.

Hi my loves, it has been WAY TO LONG!!!!
I went for my first ultra sound at 6 weeks and then started having some spotting about a week later. I have a SCH or a Subchorionic Hemorrhage. It's basically a tear in your placenta and it was very small at first... Two major bleeds and trips to the ER later and I am 16 weeks and as of right now on complete bed rest because it is now more then double the original size! Never before have I had to be still while pregnant, in fact I'm one of the one that does black Friday shopping at 8 months... So with the other two little loves in my life this has been really challenging.
Have any of you ever heard of SCH or had it? What have your experiences been with it? I go for another ultra sound this coming Thursday and am praying that it has started to shrink. Preterm labor is very common with this and most of the time you deliver by 34 weeks.
Whatever happens I know that I am in God's hands and that is the best place that anyone can be! I have found a lot of comfort in Psalms 91 and I know that I am under his wings and he has given his angels charge over me.
This is my reason for not being around and I hope you can understand, that being said I will have much more time for blogging being in the bed all the time!
Never heard of it before but i hope everything would be all right with your baby!
I've heard of it before, my best friend had it happen and the Doctor told her it was nothing to worry about and she wound up losing her twins because of the Doctor telling her it was nothing to worry about. Pft.
Congratulations! I'm glad that you and your baby are doing well! You will be in our prayers Amanda!

Last week, the Zendesk Neighbor Foundation was at Relate Live in Brazil. This conference series is covering the globe prompting discussions around how “relationships are complicated.” At each event, our own Tiffany Apczynski, VP of Public Policy and Social Impact, is presenting on the rise of the conscious consumer, what it is, who they are, and how your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy can help brands better align with this market trend. Even if you were unable to be in Sao Paulo at Relate Live, we want to pause for a moment and highlight what the rise of conscious consumer means for the changing market in Brazil.
As with any country in the world, Brazil is not without social issues. Poverty is widespread in parts of Brazil with an increasing economic gap between the rich and the poor. Additionally, despite free public education, there is a lack of quality education with many students receiving below standard education. Many Brazilians, 68%, place the increasing income inequality gap a serious social issue. Additionally, 72% of Brazilians are unsatisfied with their country, and have a desire to improve their region to match their national pride.
In response to the social issues in Brazil, many residents are using their purchasing power to create change thus becoming conscious consumers. This growing movement of people seeks out ways to make positive buying decisions, ones that are ethical and environmental conscious. The majority of conscious consumers are millennials with 50 plus years of being the primary buyers, meaning this movement is not just a fad.
This group’s power is displayed in Brazil through purchasing trends. In 2013, 55% of consumers were willing to spend more on products from socially responsible companies, up from 46% in 2011, demonstrating the increasing awareness. Additionally, 82% of consumers in Latin America believe that companies should be involved in improving people’s wellbeing and quality of life but only 46% think brands work at achieving that. Arguably, there is room for brands—both large and small—to jump into the discussion and take action.
While companies should strive to positively impact the world around them from a moral standpoint, their are rewards for developing social responsibility programs to a company’s bottom line. Whether you engage in sustainability practices to cut cost, use volunteering to retain happy employees or use CSR for customer engagement, these practices can drive companies to better business practices. CSR will not only benefit society, it will also be good for your company.

While we’re still caught up in winter, and before the days get too much lighter, it’s one of the best times of the year to get stuck into the music of Belgian composer Pepijn Caudron, better known as Kreng. He came to my attention around six years ago, when Works for Abattoir Fermé 2007 – 2011 was released, a staggering 3-hour epic box set compiling his work for the eponymous surrealist theatrical troupe. It subsequently became my best album of 2012, and led me to investigate his earlier work, including a pair of EPs dating from the same time Caudron began working with Abattoir Fermé, both of which were released as free downloads.
Pausing only to reiterate once again how fundamentally definitive and provisional are all lists, here we go with my countdown of 2015’s best albums, starting with numbers 40 to 21. Part 2 tomorrow.
If there’s one thing that many of the more interesting new releases i’ve heard have in common, it’s doing new and unusual things with conventional sounds, objects and forms. To this end, the most impressive disc of orchestral music I’ve encountered recently is Mark Andre‘s … auf … (Wergo). There’s actually something rather brazen about the piece, Andre rooting it in what is essentially a language of gesture. There aren’t many of them either: huge tutti accents, loud crescendo chords, gentle sustained pitches and extremely soft percussive textures comprise pretty much everything that we hear. Andre makes them the poles of an intense drama played out (in three pieces, both independent and parts of a trilogy) for over an hour, yet which never for a moment seems to tread water. Which isn’t to suggest that it’s relentless; on the contrary, a great deal of the tension arises from protracted periods of semi-stasis; for some composers these would be times of repose, but in … auf … the orchestra feels poised; energy and activity are implicit everywhere. Furthermore, the accents—which, due both to the actual dynamic but also to their contextual contrast, are on occasions exceptionally loud (the hammer blows of Mahler 6 meet the opening of Mahler 1)—do nothing whatsoever to dispel or release this pent-up energy, if anything injecting still more, acts of blunt force provocation like a boxer hitting their own face before a fight. Andre moves back and forth between these gestural poles in a way that sounds inherently chaotic yet—Takemitsu-like—each step forward is entirely convincing.

Not long ago we took a hard look at the inside linebacker position and free agent to be, Daryl Smith. Let’s take a look at another upcoming positional need of the Ravens, free safety. They have one safety under contract. Matt Elam. It was proven this season that the free safety spot isn’t quite Elam’s forte. He was in a way unfairly thrown into that position when Michael Huff didn’t meet expectations. Ozzie Newsome mentioned wanting to bring a playmaker into that position during today’s “State of the Ravens” address.
Strong safety, James Ihedigbo, had himself a nice season and is not likely to be resigned by Baltimore. After soon to be second year starter Elam, the Ravens are looking at exclusive rights free agents Omar Brown, Brynden Trawick, and Anthony Levine. All three of which were practice squad members before being promoted to the 53-man roster. All three of which I wouldn’t be comfortable asking to be a starter on this defense next year.
The Ravens carried six safeties on board last year. Resigning Brown, Trawick and Levine to the cheap ERFA tenders still leaves room for two safeties. One of them needs to be starting free safety caliber. Sure, they could address that in the draft, but that’s a real gamble. They could move personnel around, but maybe they can’t. For a starting FS, free agency maybe the place to look.
Here are some starting free safeties who recently received contracts.
For a point of reference, the Ravens tried to address this positional need last year by singing Michael Huff to a three-year deal worth $6M at age 30. Huff was regarded as one of the games better safeties in the good but not great class. His upside was his versatility to play anywhere in the secondary. Come to find out, there is a reason they got him so cheap.
Now let’s take a look at some of the household names who could be available on the market this offseason.
Jairus Byrd – Buffalo made Byrd the highest paid free safety in the NFL last season, applying the franchise tag to him worth $6.91M. Byrd is a great talent that I would think is likely out of the Ravens price range. That is until Ozzie spoke passionately about wanting a playmaker in that position. Who knows? A back loaded contract with a higher cap number when the salary cap is expected to jump up in a big way after 2015 could be the trick. I could see someone paying the 27-year old Byrd, Eric Weddle type money.
Ryan Clark – The 34-year old is at the end of a four-year deal with Pittsburgh that paid him $14M over that span. His next contracts would be at most of the two year variety, but teams will probably offer one year at first. He would come at a discount because of his inability to play in the high altitude of Denver due to sickle cell. In the Ravens case, the only way they play in Denver next season is in a playoff matchup.
Chris Clemmons – Chris Clemmons from Clemson (say that three times fast) was resigned by the Miami Dolphins prior to 2013 to a one-year deal worth $2.75M with $1M guaranteed. Clemmons, 28, excels against the pass and run, and has been known to play both safety positions. A deal paying Clemmons about a $3M average wouldn’t be out of the question and could fit into the Ravens price range where they wouldn’t have to make major changes to the current roster to get the deal done. Hard to tell if the Dolphins will try to retain Clemmons as their GM, Jeff Ireland and the team have parted ways.
Malcolm Jenkins – Jenkins spent the end of the 2012 season on IR with a hamstring, and then the team drafted Kenny Vaccoro out of Texas with their first pick in the 2013 draft. Vaccaro played very well in his rookie year and the writing seems to be on the wall for Jenkins. Jenkins was taken with the 14th overall pick in the 2009 draft as a cornerback. He also has been known to play some nickel corner. First team All-American at Ohio State and Jim Thorpe award winner. He played on special teams and nickel corner as a rookie when Roman Harper and Darren Sharper manned the safety spots. All in all, his career has been a disappointment, and signing him should come as a cheap, reclamation project.
In baseball terms, the Orioles would sign Malcolm Jenkins instead of Jairus Byrd. Good thing the Ravens aren’t the Orioles.

Teacher experience and education level are characteristics are commonly assumed to correlate with greater teacher effectiveness.
However, when researchers analyzed student achievement data along with teacher qualifications, they found that a five-year increase in teaching experience affected student achievement very little — less than 1 percentage point. Similarly, the level of education held by a teacher proved to have no effect on student achievement in the classroom. These findings have implications for the way in which teacher quality and effectiveness should be assessed and valued by a school district.
Student achievement is unaffected by teacher licensure scores.
Licensure tests restrict entry into the teaching profession. Moreover, considerable resources are expended on these exams. The State of California requires new elementary teachers to pass general aptitude, subject-matter, and reading instruction competency tests. If a candidate fails one or all of these examinations on the first attempt, he or she may opt to retake one or all of the examinations in order to obtain licensure.
When the researchers compared teacher licensure test results with teacher performance in terms of student test scores, they found no relationship between student achievement and teachers’ test scores. The researchers also analyzed whether failing the exam before later passing it was related to student achievement and found no statistically significant link. These findings suggest that the measured basic skills, subject-matter knowledge, and reading pedagogy scores of elementary teachers do not contribute to improved student achievement, implying that new methods of teacher assessment might be needed.
The study offers several policy implications. First, while it is evident that some teachers are much more effective than others in improving student academic achievement, the study’s findings suggest that traditional measures of teacher quality do not predict classroom performance. Education experts might wish to rethink the current knowledge requirements of new teachers and develop alternative measures that will more accurately predict classroom performance.
Currently, most compensation systems reward teachers for their years of experience and education. Research shows, however, that these factors do not accurately predict a teacher’s effect on student achievement. The traditional compensation system might provide too little incentive for the more effective teachers to deliver their best performance, and it provides incentives for further education that does not appear to contribute to student performance.

Who could Wales face in 2018 World Cup qualification?
Footballing aristocracy will gather at the Konstantin Palace, St Petersburg, Russia, on Saturday as the groups for the preliminary round draw for the 2018 World Cup are decided.
It is the most-anticipated draw Welsh football fans have experienced. For the first time, Wales have a prime seat at the table - among the top seeds for the European section after a remarkable rise under manager Chris Coleman has put them 10th in the world.
Wales are, of course, in pole position to qualify for the Euro 2016 finals as leaders of qualifying Group B, with the next European matches in early September comprising Cyprus away then at home to Israel.
This form has given Wales elevated status at a draw in which Brazilian World Cup winners Ronaldo and legendary Italian winning captain Fabio Cannavaro are among the ''assistants.'' It's almost Dream Land - but not quite.
Wales will avoid the likes of world champions Germany and European champions Spain by virtue of being in pot one, however, they could potentially be drawn against former World Cup winners France and Italy because these countries are in pot two.
Even with the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey at his disposal, Coleman will be aware that plenty of lower-placed teams will see Wales as their favoured option to draw from pot one.
So, given that Russia go through automatically as hosts, who could Wales draw?
Aside from past winners Italy and France, Wales may want to avoid Slovakia and Austria - the highest-ranked second seeds.
Iceland, driven by Swansea City's Gylfi Sigurdsson and Cardiff City's Aron Gunnarsson are also potential opponents from pot two and currently top their Euro 2016 qualification group ahead of the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
So it may be better the devil you know and Wales would prefer to meet one of their current Euro 2016 rivals, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Northern Ireland and Scotland are among the third seeds. Logistically they would be ideal and the Tartan Army travel in numbers, but both are improving.
Serbia are currently bottom of their Euro 2016 qualification group, but humbled Wales 6-1 in the last World Cup campaign. However revenge might seem sweet for Coleman as the defeat was a low point of his reign.
Poland and Ukraine look like the teams to avoid.
Indeed, the third seed everyone will want is surely Greece. Away games there may be hostile, but their European rivals Faroe Isles seemed to manage and have already chalked up a double over the Greeks, who prop up Euro 2016 qualifying group F.
Drawing fourth seeds Norway would be poignant, as they were the opponents in the late Gary Speed's last game as Wales manager. Republic of Ireland would make travelling easy, Turkey are the team to miss.
A rematch with Israel would hold few fears for Coleman after Wales' stunning 3-0 Euro 2016 qualifying win in Haifa, in March.
Estonia or Slovenia would probably be ideal, since Wales' record against Montenegro includes two defeats to just one win.
Fellow Euro Group B competitors Cyprus are the highest seeds in pot five and a trip to Nicosia would probably go down well with Welsh fans.
Yet former Wales boss John Toshack and Coleman both know they can be awkward customers.
Lithuania would be a new experience for Wales, since they are one of the three European nations Wales have never played.
And you can guarantee if Wales are drawn against Macedonia , Coleman will take better care of his passport, since he lost it and arrived later than the squad to the capital Skopje for the defeat against them in September 2013.
Wales should be frightened of no-one in this pot, but Azerbaijan is the most testing logistically.
Lithuania appear ideal, if only to chalk up another venue for the growing band of intrepid Wales fans.
Andorra are the lowest seeds, ranked 202 in the world, but the mountain-top state provided trying opposition in Wales' opening Euro 2016 encounter.
Andorra led 1-0 at half time, before Bale scored twice to rescue Wales from an embarrassing result.
Kazakhstan are another side who Wales have never faced, the third of the trio are Gibraltar, who are not competing.
But Coleman probably would prefer to avoid a long trip to travel to either Malta, San Marino and Andorra.
And, Wales will be hoping that the pitch will be better after their complaints about the 3G surface at Andorra la Vella last time.

Bathroom paints are certainly in the blues - but also the neutrals and the golden yellows! But a cool blue is a hot color choice for bathrooms. Yet many still get the "blues" over paint colors for their bath.
No need to be blue! The popular blue hues really can work well for you in your bathroom. They can give a spa-like feeling to your room.
"This classic bathroom design shines with a clean, crisp look using blue walls and white wainscoting."
And even a white paint with a tint of blue will add a similar ambiance. The white base adds a fresh clean look to your decor. Farrow & Ball's Pavilion Blue is a pale shade with just a hint of blue.
Blue and white is one of the most crisp interior color combinations. You can use these fresh colors to paint a child's bathroom window. Create a frosty effect with blue and white ocean waves.
Blue is considered a "safe" color. It reflects so well on the skin, you almost can't go wrong. Sherwin Williams Paint has two aqua blue shades. They offer "Retiring Blue" and "Timid Blue."
And to keep things on the edge, why not try a turquoise shade - reminiscent of the 1950's. Benjamin Moore's Bahaman Sea Blue is a brilliant turquoise.
"This rustic sink with the yellow bamboo walls was purely an inspiration from Brasil!"
When using turquoise, just a splash of the shade should do the trick. This bathroom paint will stir up visions of a tropical paradise. And you can continue the tropical theme by having a bamboo wall. Bamboo walls or flooring are eco-friendly choices.
Bamboo baskets provide a smart storage solution for a kid's bathroom. And bold and bright colors are a smart choice to use around young children.
"This colorful bathroom could be great fun for a pool house!"
Why not create a beach ball theme with a multi-colored look? These colors will create energy and a fun look! Frankly my inner child is loving this theme! Or have some fun and make it your guest bathroom!
But maybe you prefer a more sophisticated look. If you like the traditional style, you can use a golden yellow shade with a dreamy white trim. If you want a bold statement in your bathroom you can choose Sherwin Williams "Glitzy Gold." If you prefer a light yellow tone then try their "Lantern Light."
"Lantern Light" is a perfect choice for a powder room. The color is so light and airy! It can work wonders in a small bathroom.
So, bathroom paints don't have to be "blues." Shades of blue can create a serene bathroom. But don't be afraid to explore the universe of color - beyond the blues!

Life is a journey. I ask You, my Lord, to bless those who walk a distance along with me and for your blessing on this place, my little sanctuary, where I can express the whisperings of my heart with my fellow travelers on our way home to You.
Over a month has past and I have so much to blog about, so very much, but most of it will not be more than a mere mention because when I am doing so many things about which I could and should write, I rarely have the time or drive to do so. Blogging is an indulgence, not a necessity, but it is still work and I just have not been up to working it in between everything else of late.
My husband applied for the manager position since his manager quit and we prayed and prayed and prayed and had others pray also, but it looks as if he will not be promoted. In part because they have needed at least five more service engineers in the field, and another just quit to for the IT job he has a degree in now, so they cannot possible spare my husband. Also, the interviewer in the UK was surprised asking with all his managerial experience why he had not put in for a manager position before and the answer was that he is doing so now and previously the information about the manager position being available was not even known to the service engineers until they hired the first one from outside the company, the woman who had just quit a few months ago. So...at least now they know my husband is far more qualified to do the jobs that he was looked over for the last two positions they opened up as well as they one open now. Maybe they will keep him in mind for better positions in the future as they have more restructuring plans to implement, even though they have not shared what they might be.
In mid April, my daughter went on the Science Expedition with about 200 other kids. She and my husband, who was chaperoning a group of boys, got up at 3:30 in the morning on Monday to be sure to get there by 5:00 as it is an hour drive in low traffic. I did not see them until Friday night at around 7:30 pm. The Princess had a blast, of course, and only called me once after her father reminded her a few times--the few times he saw her, that is. (That child never really had separation anxiety.) It was a success even though schedules for outdoor activities had to be rearranged due to rain and--believe it or not--another late hard freeze! Spring certainly was full of surprises this year.
The Princess turned thirteen at the end of April. She is now officially the teenager she has been practicing to be of the last year. Her attitude had not improved much after the science expedition, which is also much like a Christian youth camp or retreat. However, she was rather tired for a few days afterward. We were hoping she would want to emulate the attitude of being helpful, friendly, and generally happy that the upper classmen Servant Leaders are trained to be as they were there to be help with the middle school students. However, just this week, we have seen a long and strong glimpse of the child we have always known her to be, so she is still in there, peeking out past the teenage fog now and then, at least that is our continued hope.
We were all to go to a Rush Ministries Christian concert for the first weekend of May along with another family, but I again came down with a stay-in-bed kind of cold-flu type of thing--so odd for me to get them at all, let alone two in the span of a few months apart. Anyway, I was home trying to rest in between coughing while the Princess and my husband enjoyed Jesus Culture, Hillsong and others! They left on Friday evening and returned on Sunday afternoon.
So, I was kind of in a funk about...well, life in general. I decided that because we could not plant earlier in the spring, due to the hard freezes that I would either not really have enough time to work my gardens much this spring with homeschooling, or I could do something I have always wanted to do but never have: I would take off two weeks of formal homeschooling and the Princess would learn about horticulture. When I began homeschooling and planned to do so year around, it was my plan to also take breaks in the fall and spring, besides the long Christmas break we usually take, but I just never did it unless we had to go somewhere or do something away from home. I have enjoyed working outside in the sunshine after being stuck inside due to illness. We discussed the importance of breaking up and enriching Georgia's red clay naturally, how our compost pile of bunny berries with live worms not only make the red clay a dark brown, but add the nutrients for the plants, and how to use diatomaceous earth responsibly to kill off pests while trying not to harm honey bees. She was given the assignment of doing a two-page report on the Dust Bowl and the importance of top soil, which is due tomorrow.
I was feeling pretty good about how much we were accomplishing clearing, transplanting, and seeding in the gardens, until...I saw the little tube of mud going up the foundation on the south side: termites. The Princess told me later on she had seen something on the ceiling in the back corner of the craft room that had "been there for weeks." (We immediately had a little discussion about informing the homeowners, namely her father and I, when she sees something that should not be there like that. I mean really, mud-cicles, as she called them stuck to the ceiling...? And let's not tell Mama for a few weeks...?) I found out these are called drop tubes: yeah, definitely termites. I convinced myself by that time that we would be spending at least $2,500 to get rid of them and repair the damage...maybe even more. I did not sleep that night and had to take several Valerian capsules in the morning to get through our Wednesday with driving the Princess to science class and piano plus do all my shopping calmly. And, I finally got real in that it was a good thing to get rid of the wood eating pests and that the damage was on the south side of the house as that the worse of the siding damage and would be replaced first if we cannot do the entire house at once as we would like to do.
We rushed home Wednesday night because the phone company was coming to check on wires that used to be buried but were exposed due to some erosion and most likely not being buried deep enough to begin with when the house was built. The wires in the front yard were the TV cable wires which mostly were orange but spliced with black apparently so I thought they were the phone wires. The orange cables were not really buried at all, probably just had the sod laid over them because they were cut while mowing several times even once right after we moved here. There was another thicker black wire that was the phone line and that is also our internet exposed in the backyard. We decided the placement of it could be covered over and protected in a flower bed for now, but if we see another area of exposure, we would put in an order to rewire, which will cost us nothing, but every service with a line in the ground (water, electricity, gas) has to come out and mark the yard before they can bury the new phone wire.
Today, Thursday, the termite salesman did the inspection and I braced myself for the fee. It turns out that it was not going to cost us as much as I feared. Although the termites have been there "quite a while" which translates as a few years, the damage they might have done would probably not be worth tearing our basement ceiling apart to find. When we begin the process of replacing the siding, we will take a good look at the area then, but most likely the damage is not threatening to the integrity of the house. So, we will now just pay for the spot treatment and then a yearly fee for the baiting system. Whew! I will now sleep better, even without Valerian.
Why I have not been and might not be blogging much is because this year I am focusing strongly on the house, outside and inside...in between homeschooling, of course.
lol *I* planted a garden this year ~ first in years though I deep mulched knowing I really wouldn't have much time ~ & I haven't. Kingdom matters come first.
Thank you fellow travelers for walking and talking with me along this journey.
I didn't drop off the edge of the world.

The unusual system around the sun-like star HD168443 is located 123 light years away in the constellation Serpens. It is orbited by both a massive planet and another bulkier object of 17 - 40 Jupiter masses. Whether this bulky companion is a planet, a dim failed star called a brown dwarf, or some as-yet unidentified astronomical object is unclear. The star and inner planet are visible in the upper left, with the outer companion shown as a ringed world with a flare. Two rocky satellites orbit this large body.
An alternate scenario to the view above is that moons orbiting the outer companion at HD168443 could cause tidal heating to occur, partially melting existing ice on one of these satellites. The moon at the upper left has the coloration of Io, indicating active volcanism. The star and inner planet are not shown in this view.
In 1999 astronomers witnessed for the first time a distant planet passing in front of its star, providing direct and independent confirmation of the existence of extrasolar planets that previously had been inferred only from the wobble of their star.
The planet orbiting HD 209458 was discovered independently by two groups. Geoffrey Marcy of UC Berkeley and his colleagues, Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institute of Washington and Steve Vogt of UC Santa Cruz and Lick Observatory, observed a wobble in the star in late 1999. Collaborator Greg Henry at Tennessee State University observed a dip in the star's light two days later, confirming that the star had a companion.
The planetary transit was also seen by David Charbonneau of CfA and Timothy Brown from NCAR. They worked with David Latham from CfA and Michel Mayor from the Geneva Observatory, who respectively observed and confirmed the stellar wobble.
HD38529 is a star located 137 light-years away in the constellation Orion. The inner 0.77 Jupiter mass planet whips around its star in 14.3 days at an average distance of 0.13 AU. A second companion exists farther out with a 2207-day orbit, shown here as a large ringed planet with three satellites. The moon close up has icy sheets and ridges similar to those found on Europa and a thin atmosphere.
HD177830 b is a 1.52 Jupiter mass planet orbiting the K0 star HD177830, located 192 light-years away in the constellation Vulpecula. This planet is likely to be within its habitable zone.
A moon found here could have liquid water and look similar to our own home world.
This planet orbits the 4.5-magnitude star Tau Boötes. It has a mass of 4.13 Jupiters, and its orbit is 3.3 days long. Shown here is the Jupiter-like planet with its star in the background.
The planet orbiting this G3 star has one of the most eccentric planet orbits known to date. The 572-day orbit takes it from 0.39 AU to 2.31 AU from its star. It is located in the constellation Aquarius, 137 light-years distant. The water on this world's satellite, if one exists, goes through seasonal periods of melting and refreezing.
47 Ursae Majoris b may resemble Jupiter in appearance and may have moons with frozen water. In this painting, there is one moon with icy polar caps. Lightning can be seen on the dark side of the planet. The sun-like star appears in the distance.
HD46375 b has at least 80% the mass of Saturn and is located 109 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. It orbits its star at a distance of .041 AU, giving it an average temperature of 2070 degrees Fahrenheit. Shown here is the planet with its K1 main sequence star. The ring is composed of dust and pebbles. A ring particle has been ejected from its orbit around the planet and appears close up. In the distance is an M dwarf star, believed to be a common proper motion companion to HD46375b. Farther away is the Rosette Nebula.
This planet is 70 percent the mass of Saturn and orbits .35 AU around the sun-like star HD16141 (also known as 79 Ceti). This is about the distance between Mercury and our Sun. The planet is located 117 light-years away in the constellation Cetus. HD16141b is shown in this image from the vantage point of a hypothetical moon. Any moon in existence here will be a parched 1530 degrees Fahrenheit.
The first planetary system ever found around a normal star consists of three planets in orbit around Upsilon Andromedae. The innermost (and first known) of the three planets, Upsilon Andromedae b, contains at least three-quarters of the mass of Jupiter and orbits only 0.06 AU from the star. It traverses a circular orbit every 4.61 days. The middle planet contains at least twice the mass of Jupiter and it takes 242 days to orbit the star once. It resides approximately 0.83 AU from the star, similar to the orbital distance of Venus. The outermost planet has a mass of at least four Jupiters and completes one orbit every 3.5 to 4 years, placing it 2.5 AU from the star. The system was independently discovered by The California Planet Survey, Noyes et al at CfA, and Timothy Brown of NCAR.
Orbiting its star in 4.61 days, this planet has a mass of at least 0.7 Jupiters. The planet may be tidally locked, with one side facing the star at all times. In this image, the star is shown with the planet in the background. Gases heated by the star stream from the substellar point to the dark side of the planet.
This Jupiter-like planet may have moons with liquid water. In this painting, the planet is shown with a ring and two moons. One moon is small and gold in color, while the other resembles Earth, having oceans and land formations.
There are three stars in this system: two stars similar to our sun and one red dwarf. The planet has an eccentric orbit which, when compared to our own solar system, stretches from inside Venus's orbit to well beyond that of Mars. A hypothetical moon is located near the planet. If such a moon had water at one time in its history, the water would have existed as ice during part of its orbit around the star. As it neared the star the ice would have heated up, melted, and vaporized, forming a comet-like tail.
If a moon exists near the planet at 16 Cygni B, as hypothesized above, any existing water would be lost over eons of orbits around its star. In this image there is still a polar ice cap and some frost on the ground. Riverbeds and channels similar to those found on Mars can be seen. Recent impact craters dot the surface of the moon and obliterate some of the features of the channels. Co-discovered by Cochran and Hatzes.
Gliese 876 is a red dwarf star. The outermost planet has a mass of 1.89 Jupiters and an orbital period of 61 days. Shown here are the planet and star as seen from a possible moon.
A metal rich, solar mass star warms this planet of 1.28 Jupiter masses.
Its orbital period is 7 days, with an eccentricity of 0.14.
HD187123 b HD187123 b is one of the "hot Jupiters", described as extrasolar planets that orbit very close in to their stars. At one time it was believed that such planets would look blue. With an orbit of just 3.097 days, this world has half of a Jupiter mass.
Located in the constellation Delphinus, the planet around HD195019 resides 0.14 Astronomical Units (one A.U. equals the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun) from its host star and circuits the star once every 18.3 days. It has an estimated mass equal to 3.5 Jupiters.
