Folding Table - a new concept - Italian design, compact, wall mounted, fold away, easy open up. Your place to buy and sell all things handmade Best Foods to Stockpile for an Emergency Fueling your body during an emergency is very different from your everyday diet. Because you’ll probably expend more energy than you normally would, you should eat high-energy, high-protein foods. And because you’ll have a limited supply, the higher-quality foods you eat—and the less of them—the better. “In a disaster or an emergency you want those calories,” says Barry Swanson, a food scientist at Washington State University. “In an emergency, generally you tend to think of meeting more basic needs than preferences and flavors,” says Elizabeth Andress, professor and food safety specialist at the University of Georgia. What to Always Keep in Your Pantry These items have lengthy expiration dates, so you can stash them away for long periods of time. • Peanut butterA great source of energy, peanut butter is chock-full of healthful fats and protein. • Whole-wheat crackersCrackers are a good replacement for bread and make a fine substitute when making sandwiches.

Fun with Foam Printing - Easy Tutorial I loved this idea because not only can you recycle these horrid polystyrene containers, but the process is really simple. You could even use tracing paper and trace your design so you don't even need to be able to draw. You could make a whole series of cards like this or just a colorful print to hang on your wall and cheer up the place. Materials needed: Foam or polystyrene container pencil paint or ink small roller 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Happy printing!

Working with a young, sophisticated family in the Upper West Side, Herrera transformed a blank slate into a comfortable, kid-friendly home that exudes an unquestionably chic, cozy and polished sense of style. The minimal, contemporary dining room allows the impressive Manhattan skyline to take center stage. The large, unobtrusive glass table and dining chairs that are upholstered in a practical, yet chic faux ostrich vinyl are perfect for everyday use and for young children. Abundant neutral and warm shades enhance the coziness of the living room. The living room design is focused on comfort, luxury and multi-functionality. A chic wingback chair placed in the corner with a bookshelf becomes an intimate reading area in the living room. In the six-year-old boy’s room, a custom window seat with drawer provides even more storage for toys. About Taylor Wilson

A Femmes Guide to Improvement: Make a Blouse! So I got an email from Jane last week, linking to this top: “The one I tried on was shorter and not sheer. Can you show us how to make it? It looks SO beautiful on and it's a fucking square with a hole in it, that's it. A square folded in half, a neck hole cut out, and two short seams on the sides to hold it in place. Does that make sense? UGH! It is three hundred dollars because they say it is! Dolce and Gabbana probably charged even more when they did this a decade ago for their S/S 2002 collection, which was when, as a freshman in college, I saw it and decided I had to have it. You’ll need: A yard and a halfish of standard 45" wide fabric with nice drape. So, how much fabric to buy? Machine or hand-sew the two folded edges on both pieces of fabric before proceeding, as close to the inner folds as possible. Headhole: 13” Scye: 9.5” Very loose hip: 39” Place your rectangles together, right sides facing each other, and use two pins to mark your headhole opening. You’re done!

The Energetics of Psychopathy Picture: Anna Bal (CC) Do you remember the scene in The Green Mile when death row inmate John Coffee is touched by murderer “Wild Bill”? After feeling some powerful negative energy, he says, “You a bad man.” Are you like John Coffee? Would you know it if you brushed up against a cold-blooded killer? You might if you’re what Dr. I began to sense energy emanating from people when I was around 20 or 21 years old. People have energy emanating from them and this energy circulates around. Some people may start out hostile at first but then warm up. A conversation is an exchange of energy. This exchange of energy between two normal people having a friendly conversation is for the most part unconscious. Suddenly you feel energized. Psychopaths are a tribe of one. The unease that most people feel when talking with a psychopath is mostly unconscious, but one thing some people often pick up is that their smile does not match their eyes. Our exchange felt like vampirism: I was drained of my energy.

After a bit of deliberation, The Man and I decided to use it as a utensil holder. We removed the lid, cord and element (it’s an early electric kettle). We mainly use non-stick plastic and silicone utensils so the metal and wooden ones you see here aren’t used on a daily basis. How about you?
