{organizing with style} Days of the Week Clothing Organization, Free Printable, and More Stylish Organizing with IKEA

Tuesday, June 30, 2015

Over the weekend, I had the privilege of presenting a "how to" seminar at IKEA Centennial where I shared lots of stylish organizing ideas during their big IKEA FAMILY event. And today, all of the ideas from Saturday's seminar are right here on the blog, including the new days of the week clothing organization system I created to make mornings with a preschooler run more smoothly.

Stylish and creative organizing with IKEA

I was provided product and/or compensation in exchange for portions of this content, but as always, all opinions are my own! Click here for my full disclosure statement.

I have just a couple of go to stores when it comes to starting any new organizing project, and IKEA is right there at the top of that list! I love organizing with IKEA products because they are not only affordable, but also so versatile!

During my IKEA Centennial presentation on Saturday, I focused on thee specific areas of the home that pose challenges for each one of us - the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedroom closet! I emphasized on of my favorite organizing tips - using your vertical wall space for storage when you are short on square footage, and, as an example, I gave tips for creating a functional play space for kids, even when you don't have room for a dedicated playroom.

Each of these organizing solutions were originally prompted by challenges we've faced in our home as a result of life with kids, but I assure you that these ideas are not just for the kids!

Making Mornings Run More Smoothly

When Beckett {who is now three and a half} started to have opinions about what he wants to wear, our morning routine suddenly became more complicated, and much more time consuming! I love that he has opinions, and I want to allow him to make some of his own decisions, but I don't love the melt downs that sometimes occur when he changes his mind for the third time and I tell him that we just don't have time to change again!

I mean, I get it, I have a hard enough time deciding what I want to wear in the mornings - standing in my closet staring at my clothes and feeling the desire to throw a temper tantrum when nothing fits quite right. So it's not that I don't empathize with how hard it can be to choose just the right outfit for preschool, but nonetheless, we needed to find a way to make mornings run more smoothly.

His closet doesn't exactly qualify as a walk-in, but there is a little more than a foot of depth in front of his hanging clothes. This left a space in the front corner of his closet that I knew we could put to good use.

Unused corner of a closet can be functional

I wanted to add some narrow shelves in this space - but I didn't want to block access to the clothes on the far left of each clothing rod. The Lack wall shelf unit from IKEA was the perfect solution, because the shelves are open on the sides!

After assembling the LACK, I placed it in the corner of Beckett's closet, and then proceeded to create some stickers to label each shelf Monday through Friday. I added cute patterns to the letters to fit the menswear theme of Beckett's bedroom.

Days of the Week Labels for Closet Organization

I printed the letters on to sticker paper and cut the letters out a pair of fine point scissors. I use sticker paper for many projects, so I buy it in large packages from Amazon, but you can buy a small, inexpensive package at any office supply store.

Days of the Week Labels for Closet Organization

Once the letters were cut out, I peeled the backing off and stuck one letter above each shelf of the LACK {except for the very bottom shelf}.

peeling backing from sticker paper

As you can see in the photos below, because the shelves of the LACK float off of the back panel, this leaves the sides open, making it easy to still see and reach the clothes all the way along each clothing rod. The LACK adds a lot of storage to a previously unused corner of the closet, without making it feel over crowded.

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

With the top five shelves of the LACK labeled, I was ready get Beckett involved in the process. I showed him his new shelf and we talked about picking his clothes for school. We looked at the weather forecast on my phone and talked about the appropriate type of clothes to wear for the weather, and then I let him pick what he wanted to wear for each weekday.

As he picked his clothes, we placed them on the shelves, together with socks and underwear. We talked about the fact that once he picks his clothes and they go on the shelves, he can't change his mind.

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

He's a kid he does well with routine, and likes to follow the rules, so I think this system will make our mornings run much more smoothly!

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

This system is also going to help me stay on top of things. For example, each Wednesday is water day at Beckett's preschool, and he is supposed to arrive wearing his swimming suit and water shoes. By setting out the swim clothes in advance, I don't have to worry about losing track of my days and forgetting the appropriate Wednesday attire!

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

After using the top five shelves of the LACK for organizing Beckett's clothes for each day of the week, I added a basket to the bottom shelf and filled it with Beckett's shoes.

Days of the Week Closet Organizer

As Beckett's shoes get bigger, this basket likely won't hold them all, but for the time being it's the perfect solution to keep his little shoes from getting lost in the back corners of the closet. Now Beckett can find his own shoes, making it easier for him to get himself dressed in the mornings and to put things away at the end of the day.

Organize little shoes in a basket

I'm so happy with how this project turned out! The LACK shelf is just the right size to allow us to add this days of the week organizational system to the front corner of Beckett's closet without hindering the hanging space!

Days of the Week Closet Organization

And I just love finding ways to take advantage of every inch of real estate in a closet! Here's the before and after...

Of course, adding a Lack wall shelf unit isn't just a good idea for a kid's closet. This same shelf would work just as well in any closet in your home. Whether you want to pick out your own clothes for the week, or just need a little more storage, this is the perfect shelf to tuck into the corner. It could hold seasonal items, like sweaters in the winter and shorts and capris in the summer, it would be perfect for folded jeans and t-shirts, and it would even make a great shoe shelf!

Creating More Storage Space

No matter who you are or where you live, my guess is that you would agree with the statement that you can never have enough storage in the kitchen! Even before we had kids, I felt like we were very tight on kitchen storage space, and then, after our boys came along, our kitchen suddenly became overwhelmed with all sorts of items that had never been there before - from bottles and sippy cups, to baby food and bibs. For a while, these items just piled up on our kitchen counters until I couldn't take it anymore.

I had to find a way to create room for these items behind closed doors - but where? I started by identifying one particular space that really wasn't functioning well for us - the spice cabinet. Despite taking up one long shelf {prime kitchen real estate} our spices weren't well organized and were more likely than not to fall on my head when I reached for something in the back!

Spice Cabinet Before

I have learned that in organizing your home, you must make the most of every available space. This includes finding ways to utilize spaces that often go overlooked, like the walls and the back of doors. So this was the approach I took in our kitchen... I began taking a closer look around to identify unused spaces and find ways to make them work effectively for storage.

The first space I identified was the empty, narrow wall in our reach-in pantry.

Empty wall of reach in pantry

Our pantry is well organized, but I had previously assumed this space was too narrow to be of much use. After measuring it, however, I discovered that it was exactly the right width for IKEA Bekvam Spice Racks! I purchased 7 of them to take full advantage of the height of the pantry

The Bekvam spice racks are made from a solid, light colored wood, but I decided I wanted to dress mine up a bit {I always like to make my organizing pretty because it motivates me to keep it organized}. I grabbed some left over latex paint from the basement, and painted each of my seven spice racks a different shades of blue and teal.

Painting IKEA Spice Racks

Once they were painted, we installed them on the pantry wall, being strategic about their placement to ensure that we could still easily access everything on the pantry shelves. Then we filled the spice racks up. I quickly determined that I could fit many more spices into the racks by transferring the spices from their original containers to matching spice jars. {Click to read all about our spice organization.}

In the end, I was able to fit all of my spices and all of my bottles of oil and vinegar on this narrow pantry wall! Here's a quick before and after...

Pantry wall before and after spices

Now that these spice racks are there, it’s amazing to think that wall of the pantry was previously just wasted space. Not only are our spices now much more organized and easier to find and access, we also freed up an entire long shelf in our kitchen cabinets!

So, what did I do with the newly found space? I filled the shelf with baskets that hold water bottles, sippy cups, and the containers that we use for packing school lunches. Our boys are now old enough that we don’t have any more bottles in the house, but when we did, we also kept a basket of bottles on this shelf. {Click here for tips on baby bottle organization and sippy cup organization.}

All of these items that used to clutter up our kitchen counters now have a home behind a closed door!

For years, the cabinet under our kitchen sink used to be a black hole! It was one of those scary situations where when you opened the doors, you never knew what was going to fall out.

Under the kitchen sink before

After our boys came along, this problem only got worse. We were making more frequent trips to the grocery store for diapers and baby food, and we wound up with more plastic bags than we knew what to do with {I'm working on being better about remembering to take my reusable shopping bags}. Additionally, we began creating kitchen laundry at an alarming rate - between dish towels, dish rags, and bibs! With our laundry room being on a different floor, I needed a place to corral the kitchen laundry until I was ready to take it upstairs to wash it.

I finally took control of the space and found a way to organize it once and for all...

Under Kitchen sink organization

I won't go into all of the organized details in this post {although you kind find them, together with my 11 tips for organizing under the kitchen sink in the full under sink post}, but I do want to point out one of my favorite aspects of this organized space...

Even when organizing inside of a cabinet, it’s important to think about ways to every available space – including the backs of doors and the “walls.” Under our kitchen sink, there are a number of pipes and valves that take up the floor space in the back left corner. But, just because I couldn’t sit anything on the bottom of the cabinet, I didn’t want this entire corner to go unused.

My solution was to hang two IKEA Veriera Trash Baskets from small hooks on the walls of the cabinet, just above these pipes and valves.

Bag and Kitchen Laundry Baskets

I use one of the baskets to contain all of the plastic grocery bags that used to spill out every time I opened the cabinet door. Now I can just reach in and grab a bag when I need one, and I can lift out the entire basket when I want to take the extra bags to be recycled. I use the other basket for kitchen laundry. When the laundry basket is full, I can just lift off the hooks and carry up to the washing machine.

Ikea baskets used for under sink storage

Stylish Organization for Kids & Adults Alike

The bathroom near our kids room has only a shower, so we end up bathing the kids in the bathroom attached to our guest room. The guest bathroom has a decent amount of cabinet space, but I quickly discovered that this wasn’t ideal storage for all of our boys bathtub toys. Since I couldn’t put the tub toys away in the cabinet while they were still dripping wet, I used to pile all of the toys up in the corners of the tub to wait for them to dry.

Then by the time they finally did dry, it was basically bath time again, so I never bothered putting the toys away – but I hated the way it looked, and the piles were always falling into the tub and on to the floor.

Bath tub toys before organization

I knew I needed to come up with a better tub toy storage solution, but I still wanted the bathroom to feel like a grown up space when we have guest in town.

One day while shopping at IKEA Centennial, I noticed the Grundtal Rail System, and realized that might be just the answer! We installed a Grundtal rail on the bathroom wall above the tub, and hung Rationell Recycling Bins {also from IKEA} from the rail to hold all of the tub toys. The bins are a perfect size for holding tub toys, as well as other items like baby shampoo and wash clothes.

stylish bathtub toy organization

In order to be able to put the tub toys away while they were still wet, we needed the water to be able to drain out of the bins. We used our drill to drill small holes in a grid pattern on the bottom of each bin {read the full tutorial here}.

Holes in bins for bathtub toy storage

I added some cute labels to the front of the bins, and filled them up with the tub toys – I love the way it looks! It’s very effective storage, but it still looks nice.

Stylish bathtub toy storage

When we have guests visiting, we don’t want them to feel like they are using the kids’ bathroom. With the Grundtal Rail, the solution is easy enough! We are able to simply lift the bins of toys off of the rail and put them away in the bathroom cabinet, replacing them with guest bath essentials like a towel, soap and body wash, and a magazine for an added touch of luxury.

An Ikea rail makes for luxurious and stylish bathtub storage

Turn Any Small Nook Into a Play Space for the Kids

If you have kids, then I bet you’ve noticed the same thing I have – they always love to seek out small little nooks and crannies! This is good news for all of us, because it means that even if you are short on square footage for a dedicated play room, the kids will be just as happy with a small little corner of their own... but you'll have to get a little creative to make the space functional!

My boys love playing underneath tables and in my closet. At our house, the kids have a play space at one end of our basement family room, but we don’t have a dedicated playroom. I wanted the boys to feel like they had a space all their own, however, so I decided to turn the underutilized storage space under our basement stairs into their own private hideaway! We were storing a few items in this space, but we weren’t making good use of it, so we donated many of the items and relocated the remaining items to the garage.

Under stair playroom before

Of course, not everyone has an under stair closet, but I bet if you look around your house you’ll discover some small space that’s not being used to its fullest potential – it could be a closet or any small space. Even a little space behind the couch can become a great little reading nook or art corner for the kids.

Kids love playing in these small spaces, but the space under our stairs wasn’t well suited to serve as both toy storage and play space. It's just too small, and the ceiling too steeply sloped, to be able to put any shelves or storage on the floor. Instead, we decided to leave the floor space open for the kids to play and read, and instead use the vertical space to create storage for small toys, instruments, and books.

Let me show you what the space ended up looking like, and then I’ll walk you through some of the fun IKEA storage solutions we used!

Rock & roll under stair plaryroom

We decided on a music theme for the under stair playroom, so we covered the ceiling in records. And we added two Vantad LED lighted rugs on the floor to give the boys a stage to perform on. We covered one wall in sheet metal and created a really cool magnetic ping pong wall coaster for the boys {which you can’t see in this photo, but you'll find lots of photos and details in the full Under Stair Playroom post!}

Then on the other wall, we used frames from the IKEA Ribba collection to frame a couple of music posters and to create some fun places for our boys to display their own art work.

Under stair playroom gallery wall

We used the lower space on the wall to add some storage that is easily within the boys reach by installing four IKEA Bygel rails and from which we hung black Bygel baskets to hold all of our boys small instruments and noise makers.

Storage on wall of under stair playroom

Another Bygel rail and more Bygel baskets hang in the very back of the space hold letter and number magnets that the boys like to play with on the sheet metal wall.

Ikea rail on wall of play room

Our boys both love to read, so we also needed book storage as well. I installed two IKEA Spontan Magazine Racks on the wall near the back corner of the under stair space, which are perfect for holding some of our boys favorite books.

Magazine racks as book racks in small playroom

To make a cozy reading space for our boys at the back of the space, we piled up some black and white IKEA pillows. The boys love laying on these pillows to read their books!

I realize that the design we chose for our boys under stair playroom is very specific, and might not be right for every home, but what I want you to take away from this is that you don’t have to have a lot of floor space to create a fun place for your kids to play - you just need to think creatively and take advantage of the vertical space as well!

These same storage solutions I used in our under stair playroom could be installed in a closet or the corner of your kid’s room to create a special reading area, or even an art spot. For example, the Bygel rails and baskets {which come in lots of other fun colors} would be perfect for organizing crayons, paint brushes, and other art supplies above a small play table.

These ideas are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to organizing with IKEA products!

Inanity in the UK; Israel and the Iraq war in the USA

Zionism & Israel News: "Palestinians kidnap a BBC journalist, so they boycott Israel. It makes sense to them, right?"

Well, of course it does, if you follow the same twisted logic: blame Israel for violence between two warring Palestinian factions, armed to the teeth with weaponry that they are unable to use against Israel, thanks to the border fence around Gaza. (Very little note is taken about the fact that while there are all sorts of claims tossed around about disease and malnutrition in Gaza, there seems to be plenty of money around to buy guns and easy access across the border with Egypt that is supposedly "under siege" by Israel).

While we're at it, let's also help debunk the myth promoted on the far left in this country that the US went to war in Iraq on Israel's behalf. Check out the real story at The Iraq War: A Jewish Plot?.

Tuesday, April 10, 2007

The "Muzzle" Watch

One of the current "big lies" circulating across the blogosphere is the alleged "muzzling" of those who differ with Israeli policies. The usual formulation goes something like this: "Those who don't follow AIPAC's. line of unquestioning support of the Israeli government's repressive, racist and apartheid policies are prevented from airing their courageous dissent because of the Jewish lobby, led by Alan Dershowitz. Abe Foxman. , and the American Jewish Congress. American Jewish Congress". Of course, this completely ignores the fact that viewpoints critical of the Israeli government get wide exposure in the US, Europe, and, of course, Israel. We wrote in detail about this in a previous post.

The folks over at Jewish Voice for Peace have now developed this big lie into a sadly repetitive formula:

1. Find those who oppose Israel’s very existence; bonus points if they are Jewish (let’s call them the anti-Zionists, since they wear that label with misbegotten pride). Ignore the fact that these individuals get to appear on TV and radio frequently, speak on college campuses, publish books, etc.
2. Find statements from members of Jewish community organizations opposing the anti-Zionists– not on the grounds that they criticize Israeli policy, but because they oppose Israel’s existence at all.
3. Claim that these anti-Zionists are just “critics of Israeli policy”, ignoring their own self-admitted prejudices which make EVERY Israeli policy or self-defense action something to criticize. Continue to ignore the fact that these individuals get lots of access to an unquestioning media.
4. Ergo, Jewish community leadership is attacking "all critics of Israeli policy” (funny how a few extremists become “all”) and preventing them from spreading their views; now you’ve discovered more evidence of a vast “muzzling” conspiracy!

Never mind that there are no lawsuits, no websites being shut down, no anti-Israel speakers prevented from speaking by rioters.

Interestingly enough, a few ACTUAL episodes of attempted misuse of the legal system to muzzle free speech have come to light; unlike individuals who might simply register an objection to an inappropriate speaker or an unbalanced program, these are actual attempts to shut down free speech. In homage to the new baseball season, let's throw 3 strikes at freedom of speech:

For strike one, we have CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations), which has demanded the names of the passengers who reported the suspicious activity at Minneapolis Airport on November 21, 2006 so they can be included in their religious discrimination lawsuit (note that in response to this, Congressman Steve Pearce, R-NM, introduced in Congress the "Protecting Americans Fighting Terrorism Act of 2007, H.R. 1640." This bill would protect Americans from being sued for reporting suspicious activities to law enforcement and security personnel). Apparently, CAIR feels that free speech shouldn't include the right to report suspicious activity to law enforcement officials. (anyone feeling their rights "muzzled" yet?)

Strike two: the Arizona Republic's online edition reprints the story of a film for the PBS. series Crossroads that was the subject of tampering by PBS station WETA: "WETA appointed an advisory board that includes Aminah Beverly McCloud, director of World Islamic Studies at DePaul a January e-mail, McCloud told Crossroads producers that she had spoken with Nation of Islam representatives and 'invited them over to view this section.' She also wrote that they were outraged 'and will promptly pursue litigation.'" Read the full
story at (foul ball, strike two)

Now we get the curveball for strike three: there IS a "Jewish" organization that is involved in a lawsuit to "muzzle" free speech. This lawsuit is aimed at both the news media and advocacy organizations on an issue involving the Islamic community. Which group would line up against free speech and freedom of the press, to try to stifle reporting on an issue? Why, it's none other than those brave defenders of free speech : Jewish Voice for Peace! JVP has filed an amicus curae brief on behalf of the Islamic Society of Boston in its lawsuit against Boston area media and a local Israel advocacy group, the David Project. The issues are well described by the American Jewish Committee in its March 15 press release .

Despite multiple posts on JVP's "muzzlewatch" site challenging them on their participation in this legal maneuver to stifle speech with which they disagree, they have even failed to deliver a promised article outlining their rationale for becoming involved in this sordid effort. Muzzlewatch asks for readers to send in tips about the "stifling of open debate" to Perhaps it's worth tipping them off about the hypocrisy staring them right in the mirror.

BMJ 2003; 326 doi: (Published 15 May 2003) Cite this as: BMJ 2003;326:1090

Cardiologist and author of the bestselling diet book in history

Robert Atkins, cardiologist and author of the bestselling diet book Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution, was dismissed as a faddist or worse by most mainstream experts. He promoted carbohydrate restriction and a high protein, high fat diet, urging patients to “eat the hamburger and throw away the bun.” His theories triggered a bitter dispute between those who would limit fats and those who would limit carbohydrates.

Embedded Image

Atkins' followers saw him as a courageous David standing up to the establishment Goliath with its wrong-headed ideas and vested interests. Rejected by the medical community, Atkins appealed directly to the public. Popular support for the Atkins diet grew at an astonishing rate. His book Dr Atkins' Diet Revolution, first published in 1972 and reissued 20 years later as Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution, sold 12 million copies, making it the bestselling diet book in history.

Although millions of people battling the bulge swear by Atkins, the US National Institutes of …

    Captain's Report

    Sea-Doo Combines the Style of a Skiboat with the Thrill of a Jetboat in the Utopia 205 SE.By Capt. Bob SmithFrom a distance the Utopia 205 SE looks like a typical runabout bowrider, but up close you realize this is one powerful jet drive, runabout ready for action. Sea-Doo now powers these boats with four-stroke Rotax 4-TEC jet drive engines. That means the designers of this boat coupled comfort and style with the power and performance of twin jet drive engines to give you an awesome, comfortable ride.Up FrontSeating in the bow area consists of dual facing benches with a smaller middle seat right at the peak. Underneath the benches are storage boxes that can double as temporary coolers and the storage under the peak seat holds a Danforth style anchor and line. Safety grab handles are on each side as well as a drinkholder in each corner next to the full-size wrap-around windshield. HelmBetween the helm and companion seats is a huge ski locker for skis and other large items. Two drinkholders are on the top of the dash and a 12 volt connection for your MP3 player or cell phone charger. The glove box is plenty big to keep your papers, CDs and other items dry. Over on the driver’s side is a compact but very visible dash with wood-grain accents, analog gauges, and a burlwood wheel. Rocker switches to the left include a switch to activate the One-Touch Inlet Clearance system that clears the jet pump of debris. And as seen on many outboard and I/O style boats, the throttle and shifter on this Utopia 205 SE are combined. On the companion side is an extra-wide seat that swivels to open up the cockpit for providing more space to hang out when at anchor. Also on the companion side is a safety grab bar to both the left and right, and a speaker on the side panel.Cockpit FeaturesThe cockpit continues in the stern with a split bench seat. Beneath the port side, Sea-Doo installed a fire extinguisher. The side panels back here feature drinkholders, safety grab handles and generous side pocket storage. The bimini top on this model has its own space that puts is completely out of sight when not in use. Lift up the sun pad and the bimini drops down in a tray across the back. The storage tray under the sun pad and over the engines is large enough to keep all the life jackets handy. This tray also has a nesting space for the table when it is not in use. And by removing the tray there is excellent access to the twin Rotax 4-TEC engines.The rear deck is designed for leisure at anchor. The two-tiered swim platform creates a very comfortable relaxing position at the stern. The 205 SE platform comes with a center tow eye for towing a skier and several grab handles to assist when reboarding from the telescoping swim ladder.The snap-in carpet, cockpit cover, tonneau cover, stereo remote, and depth sounder are standard on the SE model. SpecificsThe Utopia 205 SE measures 19’10” length overall with a beam of 8’0’’, although it feels like much more. She weighs a scant 2,590 lbs and carries 40 gallons of fuel. Oil capacity for the twin 310-hp Rotax engines is 3.5 liters. BRP uses an Axial Flow single-stage drive on this model and a stainless steel impeller. Draft requirements are typical for a jet drive at only 12”. The Utopia 205 SE is designed to seat 8 with a maximum capacity of 1,320 lbs.PerformanceWe tested the Utopia in less than desirable conditions on the Intracoastal waters of Sebastian, FL. She handled very well in 2’ chop and performed as though in calmer waters. She had a cruise speed of 27.8 mph at 5000 rpm with 119 mile cruise range. The Utopia 205 SE topped out at 52.6 mph at 7400 rpm and was quick to plane in only 2.7 seconds.If you prefer the contemporary styling of a modern ski boat but want the thrill only a jet boat can deliver, the Utopia 205 SE from Sea-Doo does a great job of fitting the bill.

Re: “Boise Sees Stars

My mom was so excited I was taking her to the Kenny Chesney concert. It was a sold out show at the Taco Bell Arena so we knew we did not want to deal with the traffic and parking situation. My dad dropped us off on Broadway across the street from the venue and we made our way thru the BSU Stadium parking lot with the other people flocking to see him. We saw one very pregnant woman wearing a bikini top with “Kenny Chesney” and other phrases written all over it. That was just the beginning of the strange things I saw that night.

Once inside we quickly discovered neither one of us had brought cash so we were off in search of an ATM machine so we could buy a beer. The concert was sponsored by Corona so we each got one, poured from a can into a special “Sun City Carnival” souvenir cup and we were off to find our seats. Concert ticket said it was starting at 7:30 and at 7:32 Lady Antebellum took the stage. I was very impressed as I have been to many a concert that didn’t start when it was supposed to!

They were the first of the two opening acts. I had never heard of them before, but the announcer from Corona said they were nominated for a Grammy this year. I really enjoyed their music. It had a nice southern rock sound to it and they even did a cover of AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long". Maybe it was the excitement of the concert, but I accidently sat in the wrong row in our mezzanine section seats. About three-quarters of the way through their set I realized that we were in row F when we should have been in row B. Our view was so much better after we moved!

We missed the second opener, Miranda Lambert, because we were in one of the four 45-minute long beer lines on our level. This was where all the action was happening anyway! I left my mom in the beer line to go brave the ladies’ bathroom line. When I got there, the bathroom was temporarily shut down because there was a very drunk girl trying to pee in the sink. Two security guards went in and escorted her out. Just as I got back in the barely crawling beer line, I saw one girl pass out in the line. Not sure if it was from drinking too much, the extreme heat in the hallway or a combination of both. People were fanning her with their cowboy hats and getting her water. Soon she was sitting up. A few minutes later a guy with blood gushing from his head and no shirt on because he had it pressed to the head wound walked by us with a medic and a security guard. Back to our seats with beer in hand we saw her thank everyone and wave goodbye.

The girl next to us told us she was so excited about winning her tickets from BW. She said as a single mom, she never gets to go anywhere and she loves Kenny Chesney. I was so excited for her! She and her friend had a great time dancing and singing the whole time.

Soon the lights went dark and music started. The roar of the crowd was crazy as Kenny Chesney took the stage. The energy he sent out had the crown going wild. He ran around the huge stage singing and shaking fans hands the whole show except for two slower songs in the middle he performed center stage with a spotlight. One he said they had not done in six years and decided to add to this tour. He always had nine band members on the stage and then, for certain songs, a four-piece horn section would join.

He was very interactive with the audience. He kept talking about how much he liked Boise and had been here for a few days. Monday they had floated the river and then gone out. He said he had been having fun…maybe too much fun. Then he performed the song “Back Where I Come From” and images from around Boise flashed on the jumbo screens. Boise Depot, the capital building, a Union Pacific sign with Boise on it among others. The loudest cheers came when it showed Kenny and some of the band standing on the blue turf of the BSU stadium tossing a football up.

His set lasted almost two hours and included my favorite “Don’t Happen Twice” along with other songs I really like including “Me and you” and “Young”. Towards the end of the concert he switched out the black cowboy hat he was wearing for a BSU baseball cap someone had thrown up on stage for him (again the crowd went wild) and finished out the concert wearing it. When his encore was over and lights came back on Kenny was still on the stage signing autographs for his fans My mom and I had an amazing time, and my favorite part of the night was when my mom leaned over and told me she would have looked more like everyone else in the crowd if she had worn her light-colored jeans!

Chit Chat

Working with children always wonderful: Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan is himself a part of “Bhoothnath Returns”, but the megastar says child talent Parth Bhalerao is the film’s hero. He calls the little boy a “commensurate performer”, who left even seasoned professionals behind with his performance.

In an interview, Big B spoke about the movie, his experience and his future projects. Excerpts:

Q. Another film “Bhoothnath Returns” (BR) is on release. This time your co-star is a child actor. From the time you sang “Mere paas aao” in “Mr. Natwarlal”, you’ve shared a very special rapport with your young fans.
A. ‘Child is the Father of the Man’, said Williams Wordsworth, and not without reason! Yes, working with children has been a wonderful experience. They are unpredictable and spontaneous, completely innovative and a joy to be with. Parth, who plays the little boy in “Bhoothnath Returns” is a commensurate performer, a mature artist and the hero of the film. Even seasoned professionals sometimes are unable to convincingly go through the gamut of emotions that this boy has in BR. He is an exceptional young man.

Q. What was Parth Bhalerao like to work with? How different is it to work with a child co-star as compared to working with an adult co-star?
A. As I just said, his performance does not look like that of a child. He performs as an adult, mature and confident and full of self-belief, completely uninhibited, a rare quality.

Q. Your association with B.R. Chopra’s banner goes back to ‘Zameer’.
A. Ravi Chopra (son of late B.R. Chopra) has been unwell for several years now and bed-ridden. It has been painful to see him in such a condition. Not for me or for the film or for any other, I hope that the film does well. It would give him some respite.

Q. How do you manage to keep the faith alive for so many decades?
A. I think ‘manage’ is a rather harsh word when we talk of relationships. In creative processes what matters is the value of the content, and of course the confidence that each party has in the ability of the other. Ravi Chopra made his directorial debut with “Zameer” and has remained a friend since then. We may not have worked together for a long time since, but the relationship has been constant. Then when he came with “Baghban” we readily agreed, followed by “Baabul” and “Bhootnath” and now BR.

Q. You’re about to start “Piku” with Shoojit Sircar where you share screen space with Irrfan Khan for the first time. He expresses immense excitement at the prospect of working with you?
A. Shoojit and I have worked together very often, first in commercials that he directed, and then in a film that lies unreleased with the producers. There is a mutual respect that we share. We have discussed many subjects for feature films on and off, and now finally he wishes to make “Piku”, which we start in a month or so. I look forward to working with him again. Irfan is a talent most rare. I have loved all his work immensely. Even the work he does in commercials. I am equally excited to be in the same frame as him.

Q. Besides “Piku”, which are the other film projects that you’ve agreed to take on?
A. I start R. Balki’s film this month and shall go on with that for a couple of months along with Shoojit’s “Piku”. There is simultaneously work being concluded on the TV serial that I am doing with Endemol, Anurag Kashyap and his team for Sony Entertainment Television.

That shall be followed by “Kaun Banega Crorepati” and by the end of the year there will be Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s production with Farhan Akhtar, being directed by Bejoy Nambiar. Sudhir Mishra’s “Mehrunissa” and a few others are also on, and shall take shape early next year.

Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 Cover Image
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days

Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is an abridged edition of Saul Friedlander's definitive Pulitzer Prize-winning two-volume history of the Holocaust: Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Persecution, 1933-1939 and The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945.

The book's first part, dealing with the National Socialist campaign of oppression, restores the voices of Jews who were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality following the Nazi accession to power. Friedlander also provides the accounts of the persecutors themselves--and, perhaps most telling of all, the testimonies of ordinary German citizens who, in general, stood silent and unmoved by the increasing waves of segregation, humiliation, impoverishment, and violence.

The second part covers the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews--an official program that depended upon the cooperation of local authorities and police departments, the passivity of the populations, and the willingness of the victims to submit in desperate hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise.

A monumental, multifaceted study now contained in a single volume, Saul Friedlander's Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1933-1945 is an essential study of a dark and complex history.

Death of a Salesman Act 1, Part 7

Ben and Willy meet for the first time since Willy was almost four years old. Willy wants him to divulge the secret of his success, to tell him what happened after he left to follow their father to Alaska. Ben tells him that instead of going to Alaska, he ended up in Africa. Ben says, "when I was seventeen I walked into the jungle, and when I was twenty-one I walked out. And by God I was rich." Act 1, Part 7, pg. 33 After Ben tells his story, he tries to leave, but Willy calls young Biff and Hap onstage and asks Ben to tell them about their grandfather - anything else to make him stay longer. Ben seems to be in a hurry to leave. Ben tells the boys about how their grandfather made and sold flutes. He would load his family into their wagon and travel westward from Boston to sell the flutes he made. Ben points out that their grandfather was such a great inventor and salesman, that he could make more in a week than a man like Willy could make in a lifetime.

Topic Tracking: Failure 6

Willy insists that he's bringing his boys up to be well rounded and well liked, and he makes Biff box with his uncle to prove it. As they spar, Ben trips Biff and stands over him with the point of his umbrella near Biff's eye. He tells Biff, "Never fight fair with a stranger, boy. You'll never get out of the jungle that way." Act 1, Part 7, pg. 34 Youthful Linda, spooked by the whole display, repeatedly asks why Biff has to fight with his uncle, but Willy doesn't see anything bizarre in it, because he is too busy trying to impress Ben. In an attempt to prove that he has the pioneer spirit and the ingenuity of his father, Willy sends the boys to a nearby construction site to steal sand so they can rebuild their stoop immediately. Charley walks over and warns Willy that the cops are watching out for the boys because they've already stolen lumber. Willy bragged about their theft, although he gave the boys a mock lecture for stealing. Ben seems as proud as Willy that the boys are fearless. When Bernard reports that the watchman is chasing Biff, Willy insists that Biff wasn't stealing anything -- he was doing nothing wrong. Linda, worried, leaves to look for Biff.

Topic Tracking: Dishonesty 9

Charley complains about business in New England and Willy insists that he has no problems selling in New England because he has the right contacts. Charley sarcastically congratulates Willy and then leaves. Ben begins to leave again, but Willy asks him to stay and talk about their father because Willy was a baby when he left; not having a chance to talk with his dad left him feeling "kind of temporary about [him]self." Act 1, Part 7, pg. 36 Ben promises to visit on his way back to Africa, and he assures Willy that he's teaching his sons the right things. Ben caps it all off with his words of wisdom about how he went into the jungle at twenty-one and came out rich, and then Ben walks around the right corner of the house and disappears.

Fat Kid Rules the World Summary & Study Guide Description

Fat Kid Rules the World Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:

This detailed literature summary also contains Topics for Discussion on Fat Kid Rules the World by KL Going.

"Fat Kid Rules the World" by K. L. Going tells the story of a 17-year-old boy named Troy who is pushing 300 pounds. He has serious issues with his image and the book begins with Troy standing on the edge of the subway platform, contemplating suicide. He is distracted by an emaciated young man who is a popular, talented musician named Curt. They form a friendship that transforms each of them in unique ways.

Curt decides that Troy should be the drummer in his new band, Rage/Tectonic. This sounds great to Troy until he really focuses on the fact that he hasn't played drums since junior high school, and he didn't play that much then. He likes the idea of being on stage, but the reality of it terrifies him. Curt tells him not to worry about it and arranges a gig five weeks in the future. He also arranges for Troy received some drum lessons.

They meet together to practice with Troy cutting classes. He gains new respect from some of the students in the school due to his Curt connection. As he gets to know Curt, he realizes that his friend is addicted to prescription drugs. Curt also doesn't really have a place to live because he can't stand his stepfather. Curt is always sleeping in odd places, and he is always hungry, eating food obsessively when he gets his hands on it.

Curt make a deal with a friend so Troy can have his first drum lesson with Ollie, but Troy panics. He feels like a complete failure. His brother scoffs at him, but his father shows support. He warns his son to be careful with Curt because Curt displays all the symptoms of a junkie. However, he seems to understand that Curt is the key to Troy's healing. Troy turned to food for comfort after his mother died when he was younger, and he hit a point where he didn't go out much or have any friends. Now, with Curt in the picture, Troy is inspired to go out and try new things again.

Even after he has decided not to become a drummer for Curt, Troy goes to a show after Curt invites him. Troy gets a firsthand look at what happens backstage. When the show begins, he is taken up by the energy and is enthralled by the energy and raw power of the music. He wants to become part of it.

Over the next few weeks, Troy works very hard at his drumming. When it comes time for his first day playing in a gig, he is so nervous that he throws up on stage. Horrified, he decides to quit and hibernate in his home. He turns to food for comfort. Days later, Ollie calls and asks him to get in touch with Curt because Curt feels as if Troy has abandoned him.

Curt isn't doing well and when he and Troy are talking together, he collapses. Troy takes him to the hospital where they find out that Curt has a bad case of pneumonia. The hospital is a haven for Curt, who has no reason to leave since he has nowhere to go. Troy sacrifices his future with the band to show Curt was a real friend is. As the story finishes, the two are on stage, both transformed and ready to take on the world through music.

The show

Ellen brings sunshine to the Oscars

Ellen DeGeneres brought pizza to the audience during the Oscars.

Ellen DeGeneres brought pizza to the audience during the Oscars.

No one, not even Mother Nature, was going to rain on Hollywood’s parade.

The weather held and the stars managed to make it into the 86th Academy Awards Sunday night at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre with their finery unruffled.

It was likely their feathers felt the same, thanks to genial host Ellen DeGeneres.

After the controversial choice of Seth MacFarlane last year, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron went back to their 2007 emcee knowing she would keep the stars laughing instead of making them sweat.

And the comic and talk-show host did just that, delivering an affable monologue that poked the gentlest of fun at the elite on “Hollywood’s Biggest Night,” many of whom feel comfortable with DeGeneres having spent time on her TV couch.

But gentle didn’t mean unfunny. DeGeneres scored several laughs as she went through the list of nominated actors. She teased best supporting actress nominee Jennifer Lawrence for her unfortunate trip-up at last year’s ceremony and then again Sunday night as she headed to the red carpet. “If you win tonight I think we should bring you the Oscar.” She made a Somali/sommelier joke when chatting with best supporting actor nominee Barkhad Abdi of “Captain Phillips,” asking, “Who’s the wine captain now?” She saved her sharpest jab for the end, noting that the night had many possible outcomes, including “12 Years a Slave” winning best picture. “Possibility number 2: You’re all racists.”

DeGeneres continued with her light touch throughout the night, joking with actors in the audience, handing out pizzas, and taking a mammoth selfie with a huge group of stars — including Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Lupita Nyong’o — that briefly crashed Twitter thanks to its many retweets.

While many of the speeches were the usual list of thank-yous, a few winners truly stood out.

“I dedicate this award to all of the people who have endured slavery,” said director Steve McQueen after his searing historical drama “12 Years a Slave” won the award for best picture. McQueen even capped his speech by leaping into the air.

As expected, Matthew McConaughey, best actor winner for “Dallas Buyers Club,” did not disappoint, enumerating the three things he needs: something to look up to, something to look forward to, and something to chase. In his speech, he noted that those three things were, respectively, God, his family — including his late father, whom he envisioned dancing in the hereafter with a Miller Lite around a pot of gumbo — and his best self, which he is constantly trying to be.

Best actress winner for “Blue Jasmine” Cate Blanchett gave a feisty speech and made special note to reject the idea that female-driven films are some kind of niche market. “Audiences want to see them and in fact, they earn money,” she said.

When Nyong’o heard her name announced as the winner for best supporting actress for “12 Years a Slave,” the joy on her face was contagious. She took to the stage and gave a moving speech that paid tribute to the real-life slave she plays in the film. “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s,” she said. She closed by offering inspiration to young viewers by saying, “When I look down at this golden statue, may it remind me and every little child that no matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.”

Best supporting actor winner Jared Leto also spoke from the heart, paying tribute to his mother, whom he described as a high school dropout and teen mom who encouraged both of her children to dream and be creative. He also alluded to the political turmoil in the Ukraine and Venezuela saying, “I want to say we are here, and as you struggle to make your dreams happen we’re thinking of you tonight.”

Although she technically didn’t win the Oscar herself, singer Darlene Love definitely won the award for most spirited acceptance speech. Love was inspired to break into a rousing bit of “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” — and earned a standing ovation for it — after “20 Feet From Stardom” director Morgan Neville accepted the award for best documentary for his film about indispensable but often unknown backing singers, including Love.

Love’s impromptu singing wasn’t the only music during the night. All four of the best song nominees received spotlights. Pharrell Williams also brought the crowd to its feet with his lively performance of “Happy” from “Despicable Me 2,” the current No. 1 song on the Billboard singles chart. Williams ventured out into the crowd and enticed nominees Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Nyong’o out of their seats to bust a move.

Kevin Spacey, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen DeGeneres, and Jared Leto take a “selfie” during the Oscar broadcast.

Irish rockers U2 played a stripped- down acoustic version of “Ordinary Love” from “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.” Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend performed the contemplative ballad “The Moon Song” from “Her,” and Idina Menzel sang the winning tune, “Let It Go,” from “Frozen.”

Pop star Pink paid tribute to “The Wizard of Oz” by singing a stirring rendition of “Over the Rainbow,” and Bette Midler contributed “Wind Beneath My Wings” after the In Memoriam segment, paying tribute to those in the industry who have passed away in the last year.

One person in particular got a lovely shout out from Bill Murray, who went off script during the best cinematography celebration to pay tribute to his former, frequent partner in comedy on films like “Caddyshack,” “Ghostbusters,” and “Groundhog Day,” writer-actor-director Harold Ramis.

As is typical, the show ran long but that didn’t inspire anyone in the production to edit out any of the elements of bloat, including a number of montages on this year’s theme, “Heroes.”

Tierney up seven points on Tisei in race for Congress, new poll says

As Republican Richard Tisei prepared to present Democrats who are backing his campaign for Congress, a new poll shows his opponent, US Representative John Tierney, leading Tisei by seven points.

The WBUR poll, conducted by the MassINC Polling Group, showed 22 percent of the 401 likely voters surveyed were undecided, but 39 percent backed Tierney, compared to 32 percent for Tisei.

Tisei plans to hold a press conference Thursday to introduce Democrats supporting him, while Tierney has invited reporters to join a conference call Thursday and hear US Representative Barney Frank discuss Tierney’s work on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, Tierney’s campaign said.

On Wednesday, Tierney ran his first television ad of the campaign, a spot in which he links Tisei to Tea Party Republicans and highlights a report in which Tisei described the Tea Party as a “Godsend.”

Tisei’s campaign said the ad was “full of untruths.”

According to the National Republican Congressional committee, in 2010 GOP gubernatorial candidate Charles Baker and Tisei, his running mate, won the Sixth District by nine points.

THERE were dramatic scenes across Dorset last night when lightning illuminated the skies.

The storm hit the county just before 11pm. Residents in the New Forest reported five ground strikes in rapid succession only 50m from houses.

Video by Steve Downes

A local weather enthusiast said Bournemouth experienced the hottest night for 11 years.

Jim Smith, who has been recording weather information at Springbourne since 1996, said the temperature was 20-21C all night before finally dipping below 20C at around 6am.

See all the pictures of the spectacular lightning show in our reader gallery

Bournemouth Echo: Jim Smith's weather graph Weather enthusiast Jim Smith’s graph for temperatures at Springbourne on the night of July 17-18

“The last time we had a night that warm was the night after the temperature record in the south east on August 10-11 2003,” he said.

But he said the rainfall during the spectacular lightning storms was relatively light.

“The storm only produced 1mm of rain here. It often looks worse on radar as a lot of the rain evaporates before reaching the ground,” he added.

Forensic meteorologist Richard Wild, of Bournemouth-based WeatherNet, confirmed the night's minimum temperatures had been the highest night-time minimums since 2003.

Official readings from the weather station at Hurn show a low for the night of 19.1C. That is higher than any minimum night-time temperature since August 5 and 11 2003, where the figure  was 20C on each occasion.

No figures are yet available for the King's Park weather station, but its previous records for the highest minimum night-time temperatures were 20.9C on August 11 2003, 20.7C on August 5 2003 and 19C on July 21 1989.

Dr Wild stressed that temperatures in cities were likely to have been much higher.

"Bournemouth will never get the warmest night ever in the UK because of its coastal location," he said.

"I would imagine there's probably somewhere that's been 23-24C.

"We had a superb flash of thunderstorms just before midnight. I think there's a risk of it again today but I think the greatest risk of a thunderstorm is probably going to be Saturday morning."

He said Saturday's temperatures were likely to reach around 23C with the risk of thundery showers in the morning, while the afternoon was likely to be muggy.

Next week's weather is also set to be hot, with temperatures expected to reach 27C on Tuesday.

Send your pictures and video footage to us by emailing

According to the BBC, lightning struck more than 3,000 times in two hours around the country between Thursday night and Friday morning.

Readers have been sending their pictures and video footage of last night's dramatic scenes.

During this morning, the Met Office upgraded its earlier yellow 'be aware' weather warning for overnight and into Saturday to amber.

The alert is valid from 12.15am until 11.45pm and covers Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.

The warning says: "Several areas of heavy, thundery showers will develop over England and Wales from Friday night before moving northwards during Saturday.

"Not everywhere within the warning area will see thunderstorms, and indeed some spells of warm sunshine are expected at times, but where thunderstorms do form, some torrential downpours are likely with frequent lightning, large hail and locally strong gusts.

"Significant flooding is possible where these do occur from surface water as well as from small, fast-responding watercourses. The public should be prepared for the risk of disruption from any of these elements."

AN 89-year-old Second World War veteran enjoyed a trip to London to attend a Buckingham Palace garden party.

Bob Barnett was chosen to be presented to the Queen, an honour he said will stay with him for the rest of his life.

“Her Majesty asked about my time in the war and said I had travelled far and done well – it was a wonderful day,” he said.

Bob, a Royal Navy veteran and current Vice Chairman of the Royal Naval Association at Ferndown, was accompanied by his wife, Martha.

The father-of-three, who also has five grandchildren, was born and brought up in Bournemouth and now lives in Christchurch.
