Posted: May 31, 2019 / 08:37 PM UTC / Updated: Jun 3, 2019 / 09:00 PM UTC
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WRIC/WAVY/AP) — Virginia Beach Police said a longtime city worker killed a dozen people and injured several others on Friday when he opened fire and shot "indiscriminately" at his co-workers inside the Virginia Beach Municipal Center.
Police identified DeWayne Craddock, 40, as the suspect in the shooting.
Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera said in a press conference that four people, including a police officer, were hurt in the shooting. Cervera, with Gov. Ralph Northam at his side, told reporters on Friday night that the victims are in surgery.
Earlier in the evening police said there were 11 "deceased victims" but Cervera later confirmed another person had died on the way to the hospital.
Police have identified the victims as Laquita Brown, Tara Gallagher, Mary Gayle, Alexander Gusev, Katherine Nixon, Richard Nettleton, Christopher Rapp, Ryan Cox, Joshua Hardy, Michelle Langer, Robert Williams and Herbert Snelling.

The shooter opened fire in Building 2 of the municipal center, which is adjacent to City Hall.
The Municipal Center is a sprawling complex in the southern portion of Virginia's largest city, and houses everything from courthouses to the city's sheriff's office and police department.
The building houses the city's public works, public utilities and planning departments, according to City Councilwoman Barbara Henley, who arrived at City Hall building about 4 p.m. Friday just after the shooting.
The shooting sent shock waves through Virginia Beach, the state's largest city and a popular vacation spot in southeastern Virginia. The building where the attack took place is in a suburban complex miles away from the high-rise hotels along the beach and the downtown business area.
"That they should be taken in this manner is the worst kind of tragedy," the governor said during the news conference on Friday night. Gov. Northam released a full statement after making the trip to Virginia Beach:
This is a horrific day for the Commonwealth of Virginia. We are devastated by the tragic shooting in Virginia Beach. I am in Virginia Beach with law enforcement authorities and Mayor Dyer, where I am monitoring the situation and offer the state's full support.
My deepest condolences and prayers go to the families of those who left home this morning, and will not return tonight, as well as those who have been injured in this tragedy.
This is unspeakable, senseless violence. I commend local and state law enforcement, first responders, medical teams, and all others who acted swiftly to respond to this situation. My thoughts continue to be with the victims and their families."
-Gov. Ralph Northam
Megan Banton, an administrative assistant who works in the building where the shooting happened, said she heard gunshots, called 911 and barricaded a door.
"We tried to do everything we could to keep everybody safe," she said. "We were all just terrified. It felt like it wasn't real, like we were in a dream. You are just terrified because all you can hear is the gunshots."
She said she texted her mom, telling her that there was an active shooter in the building, and she and others were waiting for police. Banton works in an office of about 20 people that is part of the public works department.
"Thank God my baby is OK," Banton's mother, Dana Showers, said.
Forensic investigators from the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and Virginia State Police were being sent to the scene to help local police investigate the attack.
Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams tweeted, "We are praying for our city, the lives that were lost, their families and everyone affected. We are resilient.We will not only get through this but we'll come out of this stronger than before we always do."

This is a day that will change Virginia Beach forever. I grieve for those who lost their lives, their families, and everyone who loved them. I wish a speedy recovery to all who are injured, and I thank the first responders, medical personnel, and law enforcement for their invaluable bravery and service. Now is the time for healing, coming together, and determining ways to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again."

Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 548 for the week of September 30 - October 6, 2018.
Daniel Holbach writes about the Weave Scope and Weave Flux teams participating in Hacktoberfest. Starting with an explanation of Hacktoberfest and how Daniel feels it helps open source, before moving on to Weave Scope and Weave Flux, and his presentation at Hacktoberfest. Links are provided for more information.
Marius Nestor tells us that Canonical have released updates on the kernels 3.13, 4.4 and 4.15 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS. He provides details of 11 CVEs fixed with this update, with a request for 12.04 ESM users to update to the HWE kernel so as to use the fixed 3.13 kernel., but all users should update as soon as possible.
Michael Larabel in a short post lets us know that a new release of xfce4-settings is out. The update includes support for display profiles, allowing to easily save display configurations. The tool uses the monitor's EDID data to uniquely identify devices so as to simplify restoration of configurations. A link to the announcement is provided.
Michael Larabel reminds us that for the past year LibreOffice has used a Qt5 interface plug-in for a better integration in Qt-based desktops. He focuses on how this has been improved, but we won't really see it until LibreOffice 6.2 comes out early next year.
Michael Larabel writes that Valve has updated their Linux graphics requirements for using SteamVR. They now require the proprietary 387 driver (or newer) for NVIDIA cards, though for those with AMD cards the requirement is RadeonSI/RADV from Mesa 17.3 (or higher) as well as a 4.13 kernel (or higher). To utilize VR direct mode for the best experience using the open-source AMD driver you'll need X.Org Server 1.20, Linux 4.15 and Mesa 18.2, which is achieved with Ubuntu 18.10. However, Michael provides some recommendations for users who want to use older releases of Ubuntu.
Michael Larabel informs of some notable changes in this latest Mesa release. In addition to improved graphic drivers is support for protected memory properties, an increase in the number of temp registers, and that Polaris PCI ID is now available. There are various other fixes with more details in the linked announcement.


Where can I find lasting peace? What's the meaning of life?
People have asked these questions through the ages. We believe that the answers to these and all of life's questions are found in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
You can't reach God with good works, religion, philosophy, or morality. No bridge reaches God…except one.
God has provided the only way – each person must make a choice, to accept the gift or reject it.
All of us stand on one side or the other: either trapped in sin, rebellion, and separation from God or at peace with God, receiving His forgiveness and overflowing, eternal life. So, where are you?
I know that I am a sinner, and I ask Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.
4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a local church where Christ is preached.

Is Craft Cannabis the New Craft Beer?
Jessica McKeil | December 11, 2018
With recreational cannabis here to stay, can craft cultivators replicate the successes witnessed across the craft beer industry?
Jessica McKeil Jessica McKeil is a cannabis writer based in British Columbia, Canada. She has a passion for cannabis tech and scientific breakthroughs, which has led her to work with some of the industry's biggest brands. She is the owner and lead-writer…
The US craft beer industry was worth $26 billion in 2017, and while the explosive growth appears to have dwindled in recent years, the industry is still innovating, creating and pushing the limits of beer into 2018.
Very interestingly, the areas with an established local-brewery culture, are also now the areas working to promote cannabis. Oregon, Colorado, and down the west coast of Canada are some examples with a hot craft beer market, and a growing cannabis one. These places, known for having a brewery in what seems like every small town, may soon have a small-scale grower carving out a similar space for premium recreational strains.
The craft cannabis cultivator is one focused on technique, innovation, and final product. Compared to the big names in the recreational market, whose focus is on quantity and price point, the craft grower goes into the game knowing they will have to charge a premium for the final product.
Gram for gram, there are substantial differences between a nug grown in a crop with less than 200 square meters of canopy versus an industry grower. Canopy Growth Corp, as an example, has close to 250,000 square meters of canopy. It's like comparing a can of Budweiser to sipping a pint of an interesting sour at Cascade Brewing Barrel House in Portland.
Are Consumers Willing To Pay Premium for Craft Cannabis?
It's fortunate for the cannabis industry as a whole that the hard work of consumer education has already been done regarding "craft," "micro," and "artisanal" products. Small-scale growers don't need to educate the public about what the craft terminology means - the picture is crystal clear for the consumers who matter. "Craft" conveys an image of premium, small batch, and creative.
Perhaps because the landscape was already well established for small production, as well as the associated premium costs for that production process, customers aren't surprised when they head to the dispensary. According to the latest statistics, the average consumer pays $6.83 per gram in Canada. With recreational cannabis only just launched the price point on premium strains is less clear, although indications from the black market suggest consumers are willing to pay $15 for top shelf flower.
An educated consumer, like within the beer industry, is also willing to pay more for exotic flavors, experiences, and possible medical benefits. A smoother smoke, interesting cannabinoid profile, or novel terpene combinations aren't going to come from large-scale industrial operations focused on quantity of mainstay strains. Rather, these experiments will start with the micro cultivator.
Challenges to Craft Cannabis in Canada
In Canada, craft cultivators are facing more market challenges than their microbrewery counterparts. The regulation of recreational marketing and branding are unprecedented when compared to the beer and wine industry. Customers overwhelmingly choose books based on their cover; and wine based on their labeling. But in Canada, this is not so with cannabis.
When Canadians shop for weed online, or in person, labels all look the same because of the strict control over marketing, branding, and labeling. Without the marketing budget and media attention of Aurora, Canopy Growth or Tilray, it's hard for the micro cultivator to stand out on the shelf. Brand recognition in Canada is going to be a hard-won battle for the little guys. If the labels all run together, with little to differentiate them on a visual basis, the average consumer may struggle to develop a sense of brand loyalty.
Another challenge is the licensee process in Canada for small growers. When recreational cannabis launched in Canada, the micro-licensee program had not been established. Meaning, these small-batch cultivators were not on industry shelves when Canadians headed to the dispensary during the first weeks of sale.
The Micro Cultivation License, which is now available, gives allowances for growers with under 200 square meters of canopy space. Before, every single grower in Canada had to fill out the same application, with the same licensing fees, as the Aurora's of the world. It made small production cost prohibitive. Today, the introduction of the Micro Cultivation Licence in Canada has made allowances, financial and otherwise, for small scape and financially-lean operations.
At the end of 2018, this change in regulation came a little too late for small producers to gain an early market share, and the first-mover advantage enjoyed by the big names operating under a Standard License. It remains to be seen how micro-growers make a name for themselves when it's so challenging to stand out. Given time, a bit of marketing ingenuity, and the underlying consumer demand for premium cannabis, the craft cultivators of the world will likely find ways to make their voice, and brand, known across the country.

Their smears to discredit Jill Stein
Malcolm Crowe confronts a slander against the Green Party's presidential candidate.
Click for more options
AS THE Democratic convention came to an end with the coronation of Hillary Clinton, the pressure was on for anyone still dissatisfied with the Democrats' presidential nominee to be quiet and get in line.
A torrent of abuse rained down on Bernie Sanders supporters--especially the delegates who chanted and disrupted the stage-managed proceedings in Philadelphia, and ultimately walked out of the convention--for not doing the "realistic" thing and getting behind Clinton.
Some of the scolders for Clinton have shifted their attention to the independent candidate a significant minority of Sanders supporters are now turning to: Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party.
Among the typical complaints that she is a "spoiler" who is helping the Republicans is a specific charge that spread around the Internet--that Stein opposes vaccinations and is drawn to the "anti-vaxxers" who cite discredited sources to justify refusing to vaccinate their children, despite the threat to public health.
The allegation is false and a cynical fabrication to smear one of the most successful Green Party candidates in recent years.
The Green Party's Jill Stein speaks to a campaign meeting (Gage Skidmore)
One of the leaders of the charge is Jordan Weissmann, a Slate.com economics correspondent whose other election coverage includes a ceaseless series of not-exactly-earthshaking articles ridiculing Donald Trump and not a single one analyzing Hillary Clinton.
Weissmann attacked Stein generally for the "crime" of calling for defense spending to be cut in half before focusing on her comments several months before during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) chat. His aim was to portray Stein as anti-science, so she could be consigned to the crackpot fringe of politics.
But to do that, Weissmann had to ignore Stein's explicit statements supporting vaccination and twist her critique of the medical-pharmaceutical industry to mean something she didn't.
DURING THE Reddit discussion, Stein was asked about the Green Party's official stance on vaccines. Here's what she wrote, spelling errors and all:
I don't know if we have an "official" stance, but I can tell you my personal stance at this point. According to the most recent review of vaccination policies across the globe, mandatory vaccination that doesn't allow for medical exemptions is practically unheard of. In most countries, people trust their regulatory agencies and have very high rates of vaccination through voluntary programs. In the U.S., however, regulatory agencies are routinely packed with corporate lobbyists and CEOs. So the foxes are guarding the chicken coop as usual in the US. So who wouldn't be skeptical? I think dropping vaccinations rates that can and must be fixed in order to get at the vaccination issue: the widespread distrust of the medical-indsutrial complex.
Vaccines in general have made a huge contribution to public health. Reducing or eliminating devastating diseases like small pox and polio. In Canada, where I happen to have some numbers, hundreds of annual death from measles and whooping cough were eliminated after vaccines were introduced. Still, vaccines should be treated like any medical procedure--each one needs to be tested and regulated by parties that do not have a financial interest in them. In an age when industry lobbyists and CEOs are routinely appointed to key regulatory positions through the notorious revolving door, its no wonder many Americans don't trust the FDA to be an unbiased source of sound advice. A Monsanto lobbyists and CEO like Michael Taylor, former high-ranking DEA official, should not decide what food is safe for you to eat. Same goes for vaccines and pharmaceuticals. We need to take the corporate influence out of government so people will trust our health authorities, and the rest of the government for that matter. End the revolving door. Appoint qualified professionals without a financial interest in the product being regulated. Create public funding of elections to stop the buying of elections by corporations and the super-rich.
Nothing in this response is opposed to vaccination. On the contrary, Stein makes it clear that she believes vaccinations are essential in spite of the conflicts of interest that come with an industry that produces vaccines for profit and a regulatory oversight system that routinely caters to industry.
Stein's comments, obviously written in the spirit of an online chat, don't specifically address the issue of the "anti-vaxxers," but her focus on the consequences of corporate control of health care does provide a context for understanding how anti-vaccination sentiment can arise.
Rather than acknowledge that even the vast majority of people who support vaccination should be concerned about how the pharmaceutical industry operates, bloggers like Weissmann--along with mainstream media outlets such as the Washington Post and Forbes--purposely misinterpret Stein's words to imply she is pandering to anti-vaxxers.
The following quote in Stein's interview with the Washington Post has been used to double down on the claim that she is anti-vaccination:
As a medical doctor, there was a time where I looked very closely at those issues, and not all those issues were completely resolved. There were concerns among physicians about what the vaccination schedule meant, the toxic substances like mercury which used to be rampant in vaccines. There were real questions that needed to be addressed. I think some of them at least have been addressed. I don't know if all of them have been addressed.
Having questions about the safety of medical products is not the same as being anti-science. The smears that make use of this quote are especially underhanded considering that Stein makes it clear in the same interview that she doesn't discourage vaccine use:
I think there's no question that vaccines have been absolutely critical in ridding us of the scourge of many diseases--smallpox, polio, etc. So vaccines are an invaluable medication.
If there were any lingering doubts about what Stein thinks after the Reddit AMA and the subsequent "controversy," they should be resolved by the Stein campaign's tweets in the last few days:
As a medical doctor of course I support vaccinations. I have a problem with the FDA being controlled by drug companies.
I support preventative health care as a human right (including vaccines), now let's discuss why the DNC rejected universal health care.
Those who say I'm "anti-vaxx" are anti-facts. They're lying to distract you from our revolt against 2-party failure.
At this point, it is not only incorrect, but dishonest and irresponsible to accuse Jill Stein of being anti-vaccination.
STEIN IS absolutely right to have a critique of the conflicts of interest in medicine that undermine public trust in regulatory agencies, especially given the direct financial relationship between pharmaceutical companies and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For example, Dr. Sidney Wolfe pointed out in a Frontline interview, that under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, pharmaceutical companies "[pay] cash right up front for FDA reviews."
This is one of many problematic relationships among hospital systems, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and governmental agencies in the profit health care system. It isn't unreasonable at all to mistrust a profit-driven health care system that has on occasion failed to protect the public from unsafe medications.
As Stein told the Washington Post:
It's really important that the American public have confidence in our regulatory boards so that all of our medical treatments and medications actually are approved by people who do not have a vested interest in their promotion. In my experience, this is not a radical idea. This is basic common sense.
Building that confidence won't happen by pretending that the pharmaceutical-industrial complex works just fine, as Stein's critics do. As Sean Petty wrote for SocialistWorker.org in an article about the anti-vaccination hysteria and its consequences:
We need an approach that validates and further articulates the real contradictions of health and capitalism as a starting point for then understanding where real scientific knowledge can be extracted in the current morass of the profit-driven priorities of health information.
Moreover, we need a movement, led by health care workers and patients, that removes profit out of health care. This means single-payer health care, publicly rather than privately funded health care research, significantly greater regulation and the expansion of the public health care infrastructure.
Maybe then we can begin to rebuild trust back into a vibrant public health system and a true sense of collective empowerment, which then would undermine the current perception that individual solutions are the only ones on offer.
It is important to challenge problematic statements and positions by political figures we support, but the problem in this case isn't Jill Stein's position, but how it has been twisted to serve a hostile agenda.
Let's be crystal clear: Jill Stein is not anti-vaccination. Her attitude has been distorted by those who seek to disparage her and third-party alternatives in general. Her positions are far superior to the corporate parties on foreign policy, health care, labor, education and many other crucial issues. And her message is resonating with the radicalizing, unapologetic former Bernie Sanders supporters who reject Hillary Clinton and the status quo.
Supporting candidates like Jill Stein--including confronting slander when it arises--is part of challenging the two party stranglehold on U.S. politics, which is an essential step in the process of strengthening the left and winning social change.

No, I'm not peeved by people who can't keep "their," "they're" and "there" straight - Alan M. Perlman, Ph.D.
My sweet wife is peeved. She wrote a Facebook post and started a thread. Apparently others are peeved too. As a linguist, I don't get peeved. Well, sometimes I do. But I try to observe and learn.
OK, back to the three homonyms. How can people get to adulthood and not keep them straight?
They sound alike, so to get the correct spelling, you have to know which was intended. To do that, you have to master four somewhat sophisticated linguistic concepts: possession ("their"), contraction ("they're"), and the two very different uses of "there" (positional and existential, e.g., "There's a farmer's market there," the existential "there" is kind of hard to explain to beginners). Kids learn them partly by observation (reading), practice and direct instruction.
I cannot tell you why some people fail to grasp these concepts in childhood, but I can tell you that they function as a quick intellectual litmus test: if you can't keep the homonyms straight, what else can't you get right, what don't you know, and have you got anything of substance to say?

It's been six months since I went to the doctor to talk about my high cholesterol. I went back to the doctor after two months and we talked more about trying to lower my cholesterol levels with healtheir eating before we talk about cholesterol medication (statins).
I just made a "my cholesterol journey" page ↑ with links to all my posts and a run-down of my story.
It's been an interesting and kind of stressful six months as I've made a few changes, given up a few of my favorite foods, discovered new favorite food, etc. I've defintely improved on several things and still have a few downfalls, which I feel guilty about when I indulge in them.
Here are a few good changes that I've made.
No eggs (except in baked goods).
Less processed foods (less handfuls of my kiddos goldfish and pretzels).
Less pasta and more squash.
Less white starches, more whole grains.
No white rice, quinoa instead.
More veggies at each meal.
Things I could still improve on.
Less salty foods, like chips.
Better portion control with nuts and nut butter.
I am by far a perfect "healthy" eater. Four months ago I skimmed/read the book "The China Study" about managing and curing heart disease with diet. It basically said that you can't eat anything that has a face or a mother. Also, no oils of any kind. No nuts. No avocado. I basically felt like throwing the book when I was done ready it. :) The perks of that diet is that you never, ever have to worry about losing weight or counting calories again. No wonder!
Anyway...I had my blood taken recently in preparation for my next doctor appointment next week. I conveniently had my blood drawn right before Halloween, just in case Halloween candy isn't good for your cholesterol. Haha.
I'm very interested to see if my cholesterol levels have gone down at all with almost cutting out dairy, etc. I think it could improve if I reduced sugar more. Baby steps.
Tomorrow I'll post some of my favorite meals that I've been eating for the past six months. They are much yummier than a piece of pepperoni pizza any day.
I've been posting lots of pictures of my meals, etc. on Instagram. Feel free to follow along!


text: Sarasota News Leader August 30, 2013 Page 83 Siesta Seen One new feature for the SKCC this year, he continued, would be the company sponsorship of each team of sculptors. The company or individual's name will be very visible at the front of every sculpting team's plot of sand, he added. 'It's a very profitable event for our charity," Wigelsworth pointed out, and it brings in a lot of money to the community. The beneficiary of the Crystal Classic is Mote Marine Lab's Sea Turtle Rescue Program and sea turtle conservation efforts. Kevin Cooper, executive director of the Siesta Key Chamber of Commerce, told SKVA members that because Visit Sarasota County — the community's tourism office — provides grant funds to promote the Crystal Classic outside the area, organizers have to show a return on investment. Interviews with attendees and other market research undertaken to fulfill that requirement have indicated that of the approximately 30,000 people who have attended the competition each of the past three years, about half have traveled to the county from other parts of Florida and other states, Cooper said.

Blake Shelton Tops Album List With Bringing Back the Sunshine
Luke Bryan Rides "Roller Coaster" Into First Place
by Edward Morris 10/10/2014
Who knew it was prophetic when they decided to call Blake Shelton's new album Bringing Back the Sunshine?
This week, the project did just that, debuting at the summit of both Billboard's country albums chart and its Billboard 200 all-genres rankings.
By Nielsen SoundScan's count, Bringing Back the Sunshine sold 100,554 copies its first week out.
Lady Antebellum's 747 lands at No. 2 on sales of 73,944 units.
And after a 16-week ride, Luke Bryan's "Roller Coaster" arrives at No. 1 on the country airplay chart.
Other albums making their first appearances this week are Marty Stuart's Saturday Night/Sunday Morning (No. 24), Alabama's Alabama & Friends: At the Ryman (No. 29), Lady Antebellum's Golden/Own the Town/Need You Now/Lady Antebellum (No. 43) and Moonshine Bandits' EP, Rebels on the Run (No. 49).
Returning to the albums chart is Tennessee Ernie Ford's Amazing Grace: 14 Treasured Hymns (No. 27).
The week's new songs are Carrie Underwood's "Something in the Water" (No. 17), The Band Perry's "Gentle on My Mind" (No. 54 — and, yes, this is a cover of the John Hartford classic that boosted Glen Campbell to stardom in 1967).
Also, the Railers' "Kinda Dig the Feeling" (No. 58), Dierks Bentley's "Say You Do" (No. 59) and Kelsea Ballerini's "Love Me Like You Mean It" (No. 60).
The No. 3 through No. 5 albums, in descending order, are Kenny Chesney's The Big Revival (last week's No. 1), George Strait's The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium and Tim McGraw's Sundown Heaven Town.
Rounding out the Top 5 songs cluster are Florida Georgia Line's "Dirt," Jason Aldean's "Burnin' It Down," Cole Swindell's "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" (last week's No. 1) and Chase Rice's "Ready Set Roll."
With that, the Numbers Shop is closed for the week.

DECORATING Thrift Store Finds: Decorating and Styling a Hutch
Do you love to decorate with thrift store finds? Here's one of my favorite thrift store finds and how I styled it in my entryway.
It's easy to make thrift store finds look like high end pieces with a little styling and some decorating tips.
A while back I was visiting my friend and we were laughing and telling each other that we forgot how much we loved stirrup pants and that Saved By the Bell was the best show in the universe and that we couldn't believe scrunchies are even a thing again.
And mid-hair accessory conversation, I noticed her table.
It was chippy and distressed and had character and personality and joie de vivre. I told her it was amazing and that all tables should get in line behind it and asked her where she got it. She looked down and avoided my gaze.
As if she was sad. As if she didn't want to talk. As if she was embarrassed to answer the question.
Then timidly, quietly, softly she said, "I got it at a thrift store."
That beautiful, wonderful, incredible, fifth-avenue-looking table came from a thrift store?
And she was embarrassed?
Did she read my blog? Did she know I shop the side of the road? Did she know I brake for yard sale signs? I told her I already thought the table was amazing and standing-ovation awesome, but when she told me it came from a thrift store….
…it made me love it even more.
That's the thing about thrift store shopping. You never know what you're going to find.
Sometimes it's lame.
Sometimes it's amazing.
But it's always worth it. Especially when you find something like this.
This gray hutch in my entry is one of my favorite thrift store finds.
It was $75 at our local Habitat ReStore here in McKinney.
If you live within two hours of McKinney? This is my favorite thrift store. The furniture selection is incredible—there's an entire warehouse FULL of furniture and lighting and vintage finds.
All waiting to be found.
By me.
It was damaged when we bought it and there were glass shelves and the wood needed a little TLC. We patched it with wood filler and sanded it down and replaced the glass shelves with wood shelves.
And painted it Mindful Gray SW 7016.
If you are looking for other gray paint suggestions? Here are a few of my favorite gray paints.
For a while, this hutch lived large in my entryway.
But then?
It started collecting things. This is what it looked like a little while ago. It was full of all the things from different decorating projects that were all jumbled together.
I'm not really sure how this happened.
I kept adding and adding and adding and oh wait…adding some more.
I'd walk by it and close my eyes and every now and then I'd add one more glass vase to the mix.
And yes.
Those are Christmas packages sitting on top of the hutch that I'm trying to pass off as if they are happy birthday presents for January. 🙂
When I had HAD ENOUGH.
It started like all really good decorating projects do.
With a frenetic removal of everything.
It's so much easier that way. You have a blank slate and you're not distracted by the vases or the number boxes or the birthday presents.
If you love to decorate with thrift store finds like me and you have a hutch like this that needs a makeover?
Let me show you how I did it.
Thrift Store Finds: Decorating and Styling a Hutch
1. When decorating with thrift store finds–add vertical
When decorating a hutch or other thrift store find, it's important to start with the vertical spaces first.
If you look back at the before picture, all of these platters were in the hutch, but they were off-center and hidden by other larger items in the space.
I brought them out and put them center stage.
These platters and plates add a backdrop to the painted gray background of the hutch.
2. Then add books
Next? I added books.
I love vintage books.
I love to cover books.
When adding your books, you want to create a random, symmetrical pattern. I know that's an oxymoron, but it's true. You want your shelves to have a mix of different types of books. Some flat. Some stacked. Some layered. Some tilted.
But you want there to be a pattern to the randomness.
3. Then fill in the holes
I edited out the stuff that was already in the hutch and layered it in.
Here are a few fun ideas for layering:
add a vase to the top of a stack of books
add a vintage stack of books as bookends
place a whiteware container in front of a group of books
stack several books next to a pitcher
set several books at angles instead of simply straight up and down
4. Keep everything in the same color palette
I get it.
When did our hutches start having color palettes?
It's just so much easier to decorate and edit what goes into a hutch if everything in the hutch is in a similar color palette.
If neutral isn't your thing, here are some other options for this hutch that would work:
blue and white dishes with whiteware
red and khaki books with wood accents
wooden boxes with fiesta ware
brightly patterned dishes with accents of greenery
To make it easier and take the guesswork out of accessorizing a hutch—-I put together some accessories for a neutral color palette and a blue and white color palette that work together.
Neutral Hutch Decor
(click on any of the links below to take you to the products)
this white dish set
this rectangular wood tray
white textured vase
wood chain (this one is sold out so I linked one that's similar)
hyacinth basket
light wood lantern
darker wood lantern
stoneware cake stand
metal tray (this one is sold out so I linked one that's similar)
Blue and White Hutch Decor
blue and white melamine plates (these are sold out so I linked some that are similar)
this set of blue and white planters
this set of three blue and white vases (these are sold out so I linked some that are similar)
this set of glass vases (love these so much)
blue and white candlesticks
gold sphere
This piece will always have my heart. It fills up the space and that wall without being too overwhelming. I still can't believe it was $75.
That's the thing with thrift store finds.
They are easy to decorate with.
And so easy to love. 🙂
PS Do you have a favorite thrift store find? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. On trash day I drive around and garbage pick. Especially on the day after we have our community yearly garage sale. I take after my grandma. The older the better I love
Shelly Moore Jan 18, 2023 at 6:32 pm
Guilty pleasure for me. I've found very useful, fun, vintage, stuff plus lots of vintage things I Love. Love old pretty dishes, pitchers, milk glass, furniture, lamps and electronics, books,wall hangings, clothes, curtains, material, craft materials, frames and lots of other goodies. I say I am from a Long line of hoarders and collectors. I'm not a hoarder, but I could have some inherited traits.... maybe....🤪 Thrifting can save Gobs of $ for decorating on a budget! Love this Hutch. I'm thinking of painting my hutch white distressed a little.
Patricia Brock Jan 18, 2023 at 8:03 am
Karianne, you are such a great storyteller. I always feel like I am sitting next to you in the living room, kitchen or outside and I am sitting with an old friend. Thank you for bringing me into your home and sharing your family memories. You are so right your Gram was "way ahead of her time" and a scale of the recipes??? Genius. Cherish that book and it's memories.❤
Kathy Menold Jan 18, 2023 at 8:44 am
I have decorated our home with so many gently used thrift store items I could never choose my favorite. My most recent treasure is a as yet large un hung painting which will go over our mantle.It is beautifuly framed and triple matted and cost me all of $10. The subject is an old house that has seen better days sitting in a field and surrounded by aged trees.I seem to be drawn to paintings with this subject.Thrifting is the best!!
Deb Jan 18, 2023 at 8:46 am
My favorite furniture score is my oak coffee table. I found it by the side of the road in pieces on trash day.It was a 1940's oak kitchen table with side extensions. My husband removed the side extensions and shortened the shapely legs. It has a round stain on it and I initially was going to paint it white but I reconsidered. At the time I had small children and decided to wait to paint it. Twenty eight years later and just a coat of varnish, my table is sturdy and shouts that it has survived about 82 years of dinners, snacks, crayons, toy cars, and electronic devices. My grandkids climb on it and it smiles. Sorta like me.
Patricia Jan 18, 2023 at 9:00 am
Do I thrift shop? The desk I'm sitting at, is a board resting on two oak filing cabinets I picked up for a whopping $5 for both (half price sticker day). The round oak table we eat at was $33 (and came with a leaf). Granted, it was scratched and discolored. I had to sand it and re-stain it and say thank you to the compliments. What else? A wicker stand next to our daybed. A black silk velvet (felt like heaven) hostess gown with pink satin cuffs, collar and tie ... granted, I never wore it, but I did donate it to a local theater, and it had a starring role on stage. A bride's hoop skirt slip became part of my Halloween costume with another thrifted black skirt draped over with gold ribbon rose decoration. Bulletin boards in several rooms. All of my wreaths are thrifted and redecorated. A fantastic play kitchen, table and chairs for the grandkids. Tons of picture frames. Vases. A couple jackets. Yes, I've been in a time or two.
Becky Cassera Jan 18, 2023 at 9:14 am
Thrifting and second hand is so much better. It is more than shopping, it's the thrill of the hunt. I used to be embarrassed, but now I brag.
Kris Jan 18, 2023 at 9:21 am
That 3-sectioned vase you have in the center of your "before" photo? My mom had one just like it. Ah, memories. As for thrift store shopping .... we have a small house and have inherited a great many items from both sets of parents, so no, I tend to avoid accumulating more items these days, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would find that to be shameful. These days you are super on-trend if you do it!
Rachel Harper Jan 18, 2023 at 9:34 am
KariAnne I wish I could write with your humor. You know I'm all about the thrift store and I love your cabinet.
Susan Jan 18, 2023 at 9:36 am
I love thrift shopping! What ever you find adds character to a home and chances are will be something not anyone else has. Plus it is socially responsible since most thrift stores benefit some charity. And it is environmentally responsible! What more could you ask? It's a shopping trifecta!
Anita Jan 18, 2023 at 9:44 am
Ahhhh! Which to choose---First has to be the 55" diamiter maple drop-leaf table my new husband bought for $5.00 some 60+ years ago, covered in layers of green paint. We stripped it, to reveal the beautiful grain of the wood, and it served as our main dining table through 59+ years of our marriage, four children, plus 9 grand children. Two great-grands have even eaten at it. It has served proudly for years of meals, homework, crafts, and much more, and now is the centerpiece of my kitchen. The second, is the broken old cedar chest I bought, ($5.00 again) at a yard sale, around 40 years ago. The hinges had broken the top of the back, and the lid was detached. I sawed all four sides down to the same level, re-attached the hinges, re-set the lock, and de-rusted the wheels to make it the coffee table still sitting in front of the sofa in my office. Ah, the memories !
Janice Byrd Jan 18, 2023 at 9:52 am
KariAnne, Is there a way to use a glass-front china cabinet to actually store multiple sets of china in a practical and attractive way--not just for decorative purposes?
Eileen Azzinaro Jan 18, 2023 at 10:00 am
I purchased a Liadro figurine for $4 in a thrift store because it looked so special and the same figurine is listed on ebay for over $250.00!!!!!! Guess I was right to recognize something special.
AnnTN Jan 19, 2023 at 8:58 am
Lladro/LLADRO :) I have a friend that used to have an impressive collection. She sold them as the value of them dropped.
Nancy Carr Jan 18, 2023 at 10:24 am
Wonderful post. I learn much from you. I hope your friend who was embarrassed about her thrift store table joins the rest of us who get so much joy thrifting and following you. Blessings
Pam Jan 18, 2023 at 11:04 am
Love the cabinet, love thrift store and antique mall shopping!!!
Peg Jan 18, 2023 at 11:25 am
Thrift store finds, Craigslist and Ebay purchases, etc. are all rescues, and I love them all!!!
Nancy Brantley Jan 18, 2023 at 12:08 pm
Love thrift stores. I've found many treasures....and valued. I go by malls and see a lot of vehicles in parking lot and say, great, one day I will own that stuff from thrift stores. LOL I know people that will not go near a thrift store but they LOVE what I have in my house!😂
Jodena Beale Jan 18, 2023 at 12:38 pm
I love thrifting. It's one of those things I enjoy doing with just me. I can wander as much as I like and don't have to worry if I'm taking up someone else's time. Love your hutch. Thank you for our story time.
Marlene Stephenson Jan 18, 2023 at 2:15 pm
Thrift stores, garage sales and along the side of the road, I have found so many wonderful pieces. Almost all of my outdoor furniture is from those places.
Jackie HILL Jan 18, 2023 at 3:39 pm
Just picked up a beautiful and in great shape, mirror left at a curb on garbage day. Brought it home, my husband painted the beautifully carved frame (already painted white) black for our spare bathroom. I have clothes, kitchen items and furniture either from the thrift store, curbside or auctions. No shame here.
Carla Erickson Jan 18, 2023 at 4:07 pm
Karianne, I agree! You are a great storyteller! Please let your friend that thrifting is the best! I would rather go in a thrift store than an antique store any day! Some of my favorite finds are the ones that cost less than $5. I love finding ball jars with lids and locks! Baskets and glassware are also some of my favorite things I have found! Sometimes, the messier the store the better!! I have found household items I need for a fraction of the cost of retail, just by going to a thrift store! I wish we had more of them around!
Debra Hoskins Jan 18, 2023 at 4:07 pm
Sister...you better be glad I don't live close to you. I would have snagged that hutch. Love it! I have bed and breakfast homes in Lancaster, KY and all furnished by my favorite stores.. Salvation Army, Goodwill and HabitatRestore. Check my finds out.. TheGuestHouseofKentucky.com...I love your blogs!! Debbie Hoskins
Linda Scott Jan 18, 2023 at 8:28 pm
I have found my huge metal bird house on a pole on the side of the road. Almost broke my neck stopping short to take a better look before throwing it into the van!! Looks great in the yard and the birds enjoy it too!! It needed love but that was part of the fun!! Your hutch is beautiful KariAnne!! Tell your friend thrifting is like treasure hunting. My daughters are always on the hunt for junk on the side of the road bc it's free and who doesn't love free!!
MARY-ANN (FROM CANADA!) Jan 18, 2023 at 9:44 pm
KariAnne, I love thrifting for all those precious treasures in the thrift shops and antique shops. There is always something just waiting to come home with me! Your hutch is so pretty and I love how you have styled it! Thanks for sharing with us! I always look forward to your posts!
Marty Willbee Jan 19, 2023 at 11:32 am
KariAnne ~~ I rarely go thrifting any more (don't need a blessed thing, darn it), but I've found two things at yard sales that are my favorites. One is my television hutch ($200) and it was in absolutely perfect condition and the minute I saw it I knew it was mine. It has an interesting story...I found it while visiting a cousin in Washington state who is a yard sale fanatic! I had flown to WA for work and didn't have a way to get it home. So.....my cousin's husband had a car of his nephew's that had to go to Texas somehow (another story). He talked me into taking the car with a U-haul attached for the hutch and driving it all by myself all the way from Mukilteo, WA, to San Dimas, CA. I made it in two days with stops in Vancouver and Sacramento and my last stop was in Hanford, CA, where my friend who lives there said he had wanted to go to Texas to visit some friends and would be wiling to drive the car there from Southern Cal. His friends happened to live very close to where the car needed to go! He and his mom came to So Cal and he left her with me and drove the car all the way to Texas! Serendipity and God's grace all the way! The other item I got was a beautiful white iron bed in perfect condition ($60) just last year at the Wood Street yard sales in Riverside, CA. I grew up on one of the historic Wood streets and love to go back with another cousin and two friends of almost 75 years! We all grew up on the same street in Riverside. Good times, sweet memories. God is so good!
Kim Jan 19, 2023 at 9:01 pm
Loved stirrup pants and a great thrifted find!!
Toby Morris Jan 21, 2023 at 11:56 am
Love your hutch and how you reinvigorated it! The way you have your groupings of books and vases and other treasures is very appealing, too. I shopped at thrift stores before shopping there became so popular, and I've picked up lots of treasures at them, as well as garage sales. I love older furniture and its character, and the more electic my house is, the better.
Jackie Jan 21, 2023 at 6:11 pm
As I wandered through our local Habitat for Humanity I had this solid oak hutch calling to me. 4 shelves and an open area on the bottom. No doors just open which I just loved. I was determined to have it that minute. My husband came around the corner, said oh no. I'll go borrow the truck. On the way home he asked how much this treasure cost me and I was so excited to tell him $45. It's in my entry holding all my ironstone and beaming when it gets complimented which is almost every day. We are both so happy to be together


Since Kylie Jenner probably knows as many makeup tricks as some professionals, she has become our makeup guru. Especially concerning lipstick, because well, just look at her lips!
The reality star has recently posted on her website some tips and tricks on how to put lipstick that can last all day, and she was inspired by the technique of her makeup artist Hrush Acheyman as he applied the brown lipstick she wore at the Vera Wang show during the New York Fashion Week in 2015.
"Start by applying a conditioner or primer to moisturize your lips and prevent them from looking dry or cracked," writes Jenner. "It will also help your color last longer!"
Jenner adds one last touch of concealer on a brush or a Q-tip after applying her lipstick to make sure it doesn't smear all over her face. Clever!
Are you a control freak yourself?

Townshend was previously the agency's creative partner but became the chairman at the end of 2015.
At Mcgarrybowen, Graham partnered with Richard Holmes. The pair won a gold Lion at Cannes last year for Honda "illusions" and a silver for Weedol "still weeding".
Before joining Mcgarrybowen in 2012, Graham worked at Mullen Lowe London (then known as DLKW Lowe) for eight years. His career began at WCRS in 1997 and includes a stint at HHCL.
Graham said: "What a great brief. Make an agency famous and share in the running of the business and its success. Now is one of the most interesting start-ups of recent years and has a fantastic team of partners."
Meanwhile, Mcgarrybowen has hired Stephen Cross and Simon Connor as creative directors. They join from Karmarama, where they have worked since 2009, handling accounts including the BBC and Betfair.

@LN78 Oh Twin Snakes is such a nice game. It was actually the first Metal Gear game I ever played and the game that basically introduced to the franchise. Love it so much! @kyleforrester87 Yeah exactly, I think I paid something in that range around that time. I think in part the nice box makes up for it, not speaking about the quality of the game itself hehe.
@RogerRoger thanks for the compliment appreciate it man.
@oliverp @kyleforrester87 I've been doing some reading and according to a few articles, the discs in "Twin Snakes" are among those particularly susceptible to rot. Have either of you had problems with that? There are a couple on eBay that I'm tempted to bid on.

@LN78 mine appears to be ok, if you want it you can just have it for the price of the postage, not like I am ever likely to play it again anyway.

@belmont Alas, having to tolerate poor treatment of female characters is par for the Metal Gear course, it would seem. Some games do fare better than others, of course, but I'm sorry to hear that The Twin Snakes (a game I've never played for myself) was prohibitive in this regard.
I'm opting for story blast playthroughs, too. I've only played Peace Walker once before, but remember it being a bit of a grind, so will brace myself accordingly. MGS4 is up next for me (I skipped ahead to Revengeance out of real life necessity). I'm debating whether to fold Portable Ops into my schedule, but I'm not sure I liked it all that much, so am on the fence about it. Maybe I'll see how long my Metal Gear mood holds out, and replay the games I definitely wanna replay first.
Alongside all this, I'm also playing the first Ac!d on-and-off (mostly off, if I'm honest).
Fair thoughts on Revengeance. Let's be honest, it was never gonna be for everybody! One thing I have noticed is that, if you remove an enemy's arms and legs and then let them fall without performing Zandatsu, then they don't count as kills, so you can earn "No Kills" score bonuses in almost every battle. It's a hideously morbid technicality though, and you absolutely must kill the bosses, no question, so I totally get why the gameplay isn't for you. Bravo for maintaining a non-lethal approach whenever possible!

@kyleforrester87 That's incredibly kind of you but I'd rather you stuck it on eBay, mate. It's worth a fair few quid.
@LN78 no worries, offer is there if you want it - I don't have any emotional attachment to it, don't even have a working GameCube these days and I'd never get round to actually selling it!
@kyleforrester87 You never know when a few extra pennies might come in handy (especially at the moment) and walking it into CEX will probably net you £30 or whatever in a pinch. I really appreciate the offer, though.

Much like others in this thread, I would be happy if the series was over, but MGS 1-4 were some combination of remastered/ported so they're playable on the PS5.
Right now MGS1-MGS4 are all lost to time as far as PS5 owners are concerned, and that's a shame.
PSN: Gunnerzaurus
I guess PS Now (err or whatever it's called these days) is an option if you can deal with streaming. I am sure I saw MGS4 on there, anyway.
@RogerRoger This freedom of how to play is what I like from the gameplay in the series. There are methods to break the games but there are many ways to approach them. So far I have managed a non-lethal play in all MGS games except MGS4 but only on easy difficulty settings.
I have some of emotional connection to Ac!d 1 since I got it with Ridge Racer and my PSP on the European release date and played it very much. I was a fan distraction and I used to break the game with the Running Man cards. The plot is a real MG plot with twists etc. but I never managed to replay it. The second game is more of the same. Good games but nothing very special.
On the other hand, I really like Portable Ops even though the fans sort of hate it because it was not 100% written by H.K. who said that the main plot happened but not every detail. I find the story very cool, Gene is an actual threat, I liked young Colonel and Grey Fox. Big Boss' leadership qualities were shown. Sokolov returned who disappeared from Snake Eater randomly without explanation and we had a very cool battle with the very first Metal Gear.
You can say a lot of H.K. but I think that how the women are shown in his games are not his strong point. In Snatcher and Policenauts you can casually harass women with no consequences. In Twin Snakes Meryl is shown as the worst woman in distress, the whole concept of Quiet nonsense in TPP seems like a H.K. joke. And the whole concept of the Boss' will is not well explained. EDIT: I forgot Paz, the worst example of those. Snake thinks she is underage and yet there is a bizarre scene in the beach with those two in Peace Walker.

@belmont You're right about that. I'm still finding new possibilities and hidden details after all these years, and reckon it's great when a series can maintain that level of inventiveness. I think of things like all the different ways to deal with The End in MGS3 and it just boggles the mind.
Cool, I can totally see how Ac!d would mean so much to you, then! I've heard some folks say that the sequel is an improvement, so I'll end up giving it a shot regardless.
Now that you mention it, I do remember liking Campbell's involvement in Portable Ops. I might not play it in the proper sequence, but I reckon I'll definitely end up giving it another go (provided my PSP doesn't die on me during the Ac!d games, of course). I'm glad you liked it as much as you did. I certainly never hated it before; I think it just fell in an awkward position when I was playing through the entire series from start to finish, as I was still reeling from MGS3 and wanted to get to MGS4.
Yeah, it's a real shame that we have to endure all that cringeworthy crap in order to enjoy the series. It'll cause outcry but, if we are about to see a bunch of remakes, I really hope that changes are made for the better, and that the female characters get treated with the respect they deserve (because on paper, almost all of them have interesting storylines and development arcs that'd work if written properly).
@belmont I saw this earlier having just read what you wrote about the versatility of the gameplay in "MGS" . It's pretty amusing - especially the choice of song!
Edited on Wed 25th January, 2023 @ 12:00 by LN78
God, MGS1 was just so good wasn't it?
What was awesome was that it came out in the era where game demos were a massive thing and were pretty sizeable too with this one letting you play all the way up to crawling inside the first hangar. I must have replayed it so many times before actually getting the game.
And that opening was so cinematic too from the underwater entrance through to the credits rolling as you went in the lift and then the "title screen" as you hit the top.
@Thrillho Did you have the demo that came with "ISS Pro '98"?
@LN78 Nope, it would've been from the Official PlayStation Magazine.
Edit: probably this one (not my image sadly)
Edited on Wed 25th January, 2023 @ 13:56 by Thrillho
I spent hours and hours in Ground Zeros, PP in comparison was almost a bit too big. I'd say I enjoyed GZ more, overall, funnily enough.
MGS1, back then I actually borrowed a pirated copy of the American version off a friend - I had to play it in black and white, without being able to check the back of the box for Meryl's frequency. I'm not sure how I did that bit to be honest.. guess my friend told me. I know I completed it though.
@Thrillho I miss OPM. I remember that there was an "MGS2" demo disc with one of the "Zone of the Enders" games and some people were buying the game just for the demo!
Mr_B021
@kyleforrester87 MGS4 was on PS now, but unfortunately was removed from the service in 2022 and has not reappeared on PS+.
PSN: Mr_B021
@Thrillho that demo is one of my favourite childhood gaming memories. I got the disc from a friend who didn't like it. My brother and I played it a lot. Same with the tanker demo of MGS2.

@LN78 Yep, that would be me. I did play Zone of the Enders, but didn't really enjoy that much. I probably played the demo way more.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Industry Compliance & Process Officer, Pacific Labour Facility (PLF) - Brisbane
The Pacific Labour Scheme and the Seasonal Worker Programme are two employment programs sponsored by the Australian government, which allow citizens of Pacific Countries to take up low and semi-skilled work opportunities with Australian employers in certain locations and industries.
The Pacific Labour Facility (PLF) facilitates the connection of Australian employers with Pacific workers for both these programs. The facility also provides continuous support to Pacific workers who are taking part in the programs. The PLF will act as trusted intermediary in connecting Australian employers with Pacific workers and in its partnerships with Pacific countries, the private sector and other stakeholders. The PLF is managed by Palladium on behalf of the Department of Foreign Affairs &Trade (DFAT).
The Industry Compliance & Process Officer will Support the Pacific Labour Facility's Demand Team with the relevant financial, legal and operational compliance procedures and administrative processes, to maximise demand for Pacific workers in Australia.
Under the direction of the Industry Compliance & Process Manager the Industry Compliance & Process Officer will undertake the following duties:
Comprehensively assess the employer for legal, financial or operational risks that their participation in the Scheme could create for the Commonwealth, Pacific workers or the employer itself, through:
performing background checks on potential employers across multiple areas and monitor ongoing employers' compliance with the relevant regulatory and policy requirements.
ensuring quality assurance and risk management processes to accredit prospective employers to participate in the PLS to ensure that selected employers are reputable and suitable for PLS.
request further information, if required to suitably asses their application.
Conduct financial solvency checks, to review the employer's audited accounts to assess the solvency and liquidity of the employer under four key areas: quantity and quality of earnings, profitability, solvency, liquidity and efficiency.
Conducts reputational checks on the entity, its directors and key personnel.
Assist employers with administration throughout the application process by providing comprehensive, accurate and timely information, templates, contact details etc.
Regularly review and update formal application and assessment processes to facilitate employers' entry into the Scheme and their recruitment of workers.
Contribute to strict vetting and selection of employers through employer site visits and subsequent reporting to the LMD Lead.
Maintain accurate records of all compliance findings and activities.
Interstate travel, as required.
Other tasks as reasonably requested by the LMD Lead and Demand Team.

Experience in stakeholder engagement, International and Government relations [i.e. can build effective relationships with the Australian counterparts across the public and private sector.


In this video, real estate investor JoAnna Anderson gives an update on her code violation nuisance property that the local county referred to her.
JoAnna acquired this property by networking with her local officials through HOA and other meetings where city officials were at. She made it known to them and others at the meetings that she is a local real estate redeveloper that finds, buys, and fixes up local properties, helping to beauty and restore neighborhoods.
Cities have a vested interest in taking care of the so-called problem properties that they frequently receive calls about and fine for code violations. These code violation, or nuisance properties, are great opportunities for real estate investors.
Networking, and always being prepared, is one of the best ways to get referrals in your area. Always be ready to answer the question, "What do you do?" with a quick elevator pitch of what your business does and how it can help individual homeowners and the community as a whole.
JoAnna funded this deal using a hard money lender in her area. Traditionally she uses private money, but wasn't able to arrange funding through her normal sources. This is one of the many reasons why it's so important to always have multiple sources and options when it comes to funding your deals. Those sources could include Hard Money Lenders, Private Money Lenders, or even Seller Financing.
Now that JoAnna has gotten all of the permits that she needs, the majority of the work on this property will begin. The biggest project is converting the basement into living space. That started with her getting a variance on the property so she can have ceilings that are a little lower than code would typically allow.
Check with local regulatory agencies when looking at finished basement heights.
You can petition to get a variance that allows you to deviate from local code.
Sometimes permits can be held up if you are applying for a variance, so plan ahead and work that into your holding cost estimates.
Get creative with creating new features and living spaces in homes.
Network with local government employees and inspectors, they may refer you to other properties in the area that they want improved in their communities.
Code violation properties can be a great lead source.
Hard money lenders are a great way to fund deals if you are unable to find a private lender for the project.
Sometimes Private Lenders aren't able to fund deals when you get one under contract due to time constraints or availability of their funds.
Always be networking for private money lenders.

The protein mask is a very good treatment for problem skin. Protein face mask is excelent against the acne and pimples. It tightens pores and brightens the skin.
To make this mask you need 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Combine protein with juice, then whisk thoroughly. The mixture is applied in 3-4 stages at intervals of 6-7 minutes. So that when applying the next layer, the previous one should be dried up. The mask should be gently washed off with warm water.
Important: protein mask is contraindicated for those who are allergic to eggs.
Protein mask makes your skin nice immediatly; the black dots disappear, pores considerably narrowed, the red spots get lighter and the spring of pigmentation does not leave any trace.
Masks of cucumber are the most popular because they are suitable for all types of skin. Cucumber mask has moisturizing, nourishing and cleansing effect. To be short, the cucumber is a wonderful vegetable that copes with acne.
Cucumber mask for acne is done as follows: grate 1 unpeeled cucumber, fill it with 2 cups of boiling water. This is mask should be applied to the skin for 15-20 minutes. By the way, cucumber can not filled with boiling water. You can grate it and apply on the face. In both cases, the mass should be added 2 teaspoon of water, especially if you have oily skin face.
Important: cucumber should be used immediately, otherwise it will lose some of their properties.
As a result, the regulary use of such mask is ideal for the skin. You get rid of pimples, blackheads and acne, and will admire its completely healthy, fragrant, beautiful skin.


There are as many types of exterior caulk on the market as there are areas of your home to use it on. Make sure you use the right type of product for the application, and be sure to buy the best quality product you can find to ensure a long life for your home.
Depending on the visibility of the area you are filling, the material of the area you are treating and the climate of the area you live in, you may find that one type of caulk is better than another for your home.
Depending on where you are applying the product, and whether or not you are treating multiple areas at a time, you will use a product made of one of these materials. Always purchase a product that is rated to last a minimum of 40 years; most exterior joint fillers can last 45 – 50 years when used properly.
If you want a paintable product that can be used anywhere on your home's exterior regardless of material, consider using a latex modified silicone caulk. This white material can be left as is or painted. It can shrink, however, and may not last as long as acrylic, pure silicone or polyurethane. Use it for yearly maintenance, such as filling the gaps around Masonite siding or replacing old fillers in between paint jobs.
If you aren't sure what product is the best for your job, take the time to read the labels. Look for a material that is specifically designed for the material you are treating and for one that has the highest warranty possible. 50 to 55 year product is going to give you the best performance, provided it is also used on the materials for which it was designed.
Always ensure the product you are using is meant for exterior use. When in doubt, use all-purpose caulk and inspect your home's exterior yearly to avoid problems caused by disintegration.
