Finally ready for winter...last chore done last night.
Comments (3)Hmmmm.....I hadn't considered what to do by the time they are too big to tie, mad gallica. The problem is, not a whole lot of shrubs will fit those particular screening needs in small spaces. Have they stopped being recommended, I wonder? Brandon...we get lots of heavy snow most winters. This is my first winter with the Sky Pencil. I think I will be happier in the spring having it tied so it won't splay out. It was so easy too. Not having to tie it is one of the advantages of your zone and less snow, enjoy it. :-)...See MoreGrey's Anatomy Finale last night
Comments (21)I loved it. The season finale was violent, but I didn't feel like it was gratuitous violence. The violence was the story and how the violence will shape the characters paths is the story. Meredith, with the help of Christina and Izzie, got up and showered and acted like everything was normal after the bomb. She has never been a weak, crybaby character(not that mourning a miscarriage would be weak.) But emotionally, she has been dark & twisty. I don't think it is at all out of character for her to soldier on during her miscarriage. In the flashbacks of her with her mother, you see Ellis raising a kid who would just "be extraordinary." Avery(the good-looking doc) has already made a play for Yang before at the party earlier in the season and again at the hospital the day after the party. I think with the Teddy/Owen/Yang triangle over(Owen chose Christina,) Owen/Yang/Avery will be the new triangle. Avery showed confidence in Christina in making the decision that she would operate on Derek without any of the attendings. She loves that validation and some of her biggest fights with Owen have been about him not having her back. Avery would be a new romance chapter for Christina, as she has always been with teacher/mentor/superiors. While he does have the powerful family connection, he is only a resident and therefore an equal on a professional footing....See MoreEllen's Design Challenge final - spoiler alert
Comments (84)hfte Its been a few days since I first commented and after reading all of the subsequent remarks and watching Tim's short interview with Ellen I've made the following observations: 1. Tim appears to have made an honest and sincere effort in the competition to design and create a truly original piece of furniture - not withstanding that it appeared very similar to that of European designer Simon Schacht. 2. He continues to present as a humble compassionate and positive human being, ( as he presented throughout the whole competition in sharp contrast to some of the other competitors ), while also coming off as very competent and confident ( without an ounce of pretension or "cockiness"). He therefore comes off looking very much like the real winner anyway no matter if he did not get the actual prize itself. He also demonstrated a considerable level of skill most of us can only dream of possessing in furniture design and build. He truly was and probably is in a "league of his own". 3. Now some people are pilling on Katie for various reasons the primary one being she won after Tim was disqualified. Someone even suggested that she or a friend of hers made the anonymous call that "outed" Tim's piece as a counterfeit. Her pieces are also being criticized as not being functional enough and her use of some unusual materials, ( for furniture that is ), such as PVC pipe in her last piece. At this point it is completely unfair to cast any blame on Katie for Tim's disqualification or choices made by the judges and Ellen. Unless it does come out that the "information" that lead to Tim losing the winning title came directly or even indirectly from her then we should not take shots at her. Personally on a purely aesthetic level I thoroughly enjoyed most of her work and the fact that they were also quite functional. Unfortunately for Katie her "plastic marble" table turned into an ungainly "cow table" that would only fit in a children's arts and crafts room. I also believe Katie's second weakest piece, ( the first weakest being the cow ), was her last piece, the table with the Purple Heat wood "pull - out chairs". Now while there where a lot of individual aesthetically beautiful components to the table I really did not see anyone of these individual parts draw the "whole" together. My second major concern with this table "and chairs" is its' functionality. Those beautiful purple heart wood with zebra wood joiners would not survive any adult sitting on them for long. The structure couldn't begin to hold anyone 100pounds and over. And as mentioned by another writer they are also too low. Unfortunately the best that one could say about that last and now also ironically wining piece is that other then that its' constituent parts are well built it is in that euphemistically way of speaking "Interesting". Now were I to pick a clear winner from Katie's more worthy contributions it would have to be the armoire with its hidden storage and bold modern look. 4. So far I have not read anyone commenting on the rather outsized roles the carpenter assistants that were provided to the contests may or may not have played. It certainly was apparent the explicit conflict between the contestant who built the losing baby diaper change table and carpenter was a significant factor in her loss. With regards however to Tim and Katie both had competent assistants. With that being said though Chip would on occasion take Tim's design in a conflicting direction and Tim had to forcefully pull him back into his direction. In contrast Katie and her assistant appeared ( at least on camera ) to have no conflict at all. (I don't recall his name) I have seen this particular carpenter before on either D.I.Y. or HGTV and remember being very impressed with both his ideas and implementation of them. In one instance he appeared on a show (where various TV show hosts from the American version of the above two networks shows were building a dream cottage or cabin). In the episode he took it upon himself to build multiple hidden storage spots throughout the house. His skill and execution was impressive. I'd hazard a guess that there is no way Katie would have made it to the finale. Together they made a great team, however it was surely his knowledge of multiple materials, what tools to use to work these materials, and of course how best to use these tools to obtain the desired effect....See MoreIf you watched "This is Us" last night . . .
Comments (47)I thought sure we were going to see Jack die. They kept teasing us every time someone from the show was interviewed they would insinuate it was going to be the finale. I was very disappointed in the last show it was definitely my least favorite. I think she was very unfair to him because he has worked his rear off providing for that large family and allowing her to stay home and be the mom she wanted to be. Now she tells him she is unfulfilled! And it's his fault. Wrong. He is an excellent father and husband. The new drinking thing they suddenly threw in there is not a fit for his character....See More- 8 years ago
