Reddit mentions: The best specialty clocks

Working on this tomorrow and Friday... ok finished early... just couldn't stop...

Historical Figure: Hatshepsut

Alter Ego: the Architect

Super Hero Outfit: She would wear a skin tight suit that swirls like the desert sand with flecks of gold dusting the muted fabric. She will wear her headdress with a golden mask covering only her eyes. She will carry a beautifully detailed glass sand timer attached to a belt very similar to this one but in a bright gold instead of silver. Her only other possession will be a staff carved from exotic wood and similar to this one, only again with gold detailing.

Ability: The Architect can build anything with her mind out of sand. She need merely raise her hand and dream of it and the sand begins to swirl into place and transform into her vision.

If I win, surprise me! Bridget's First Contest. This was a really fun contest. Thanks for hosting it!

So there's a variety of things you might like!

I was going to say congrats on your new place, but it sounds like just your address changed? So... congrats on your new address! Yay!

I've had this clock sitting on my WL for quite a while. My roommate and I finally decided where we want to put it in our apartment, so I'm gearing up for some new decorating :)

Thank you for the contest!!

The biggest thing that is a silly wish that will NEVER come true is a Nightmare Before Christmas clock. I mean...it is epic, but $225 for a clock is on the never gonna happen list.

I'm not really asking for anything this year. I know about what I will get and it will be nice. My kids will get me leggings, parents a Disney gift card, mil gift card to something or a pile of things from the $1 store, grandmother in law a aaa membership and a wall calendar I will forget to use. Husband will find me something I like.

I guess the one real thing on my wishlist would be Studio Ghibli films or a Nightmare Before Christmas purse. I know they aren't going to be gotten, but they are fun to look at while I Amazon window shop!

Home sweet home needs a gorgeous accented Coffee Table

A Room divider although I'm not sure how well this fits your theme I think it's pretty.

A Jewelry Box and Another one

Some wall Mirrors Mirror2

We have One Two and Three Cabinet knobs.

I think these Suitcases would be good for storage and decor. Here's Another with a different Finish.

Floral Curtains

Quilt Rack?

One Two Three Four Pillow designs.

I think that's all for now xD Hope I stuck with the theme okay.

EDIT: I thought a Cuckoo Clock would be cool but that might stray a bit from the English part of the decor xD

Hi guys! I am a chef, Rockabelly, and I wanted to share with you my recipe for...

Carne Asada: (Grilled Steak)

Flank steak - any size 1 cup of orange juice (I had some Clementine’s in the fridge and they worked fine!) Garlic powder to taste Salt and Pepper to taste

If you have a tenderizing tool (http://www.amazon.com/Deni-MT45-Meat-Tenderizer-Blade/dp/B002R0FRHC) give the steak a quick tenderizing.

Next, mix the orange juice, garlic, salt and pepper together and poor it onto the steak. Letting it sit for no more than 8 hours because the acid in the juice will start the cooking process. After marinating, grill steak to desired doneness. I find med, med rare to be the best for flavor.

Chimichurri (Used in South America)

For this you will need to either finely chop by hand or with food processor:

1 bunch flat leaf parsley 1/2 bunch of fresh oregano 4 cloves garlic minced 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon lime juice 1 tablespoon diced red onion 1 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt

I like to use this table side as a salsa, but you can also use as a marinade for steak, chicken or pork. Do not make any more than 2 hours in advance.

Serve with fried plantains, rice and beans!

Happy Cooking!

This space is killer. I'm envious of the high ceilings and wooden floors. The bed frame and stop sign table are cool, and I really like the way the posters look above your couch. I agree with you on the sofa though, it's a bit frumpy. Society6 also has some throw pillows 1
2 3 I think you might like. I'd recommend investing in a more ergonomic desk chair before upgrading the couch though. If you replace the large clear bins with black or white ones, like the small ones you already, it'd help with a sleaker look. If you move your bulletin board above your desk, you can use that shelf for a small bar area instead of having bottles interspersed throughout your books and magazines. These are two 1
2 cheap wine rack options that I think would work. I think with some reorganizing you could fit your record players on the shelf wall, or just turn them so they are flush with the window wall. This would help hide the wires and make a more open conversation area. Here's a crappy ms paint edit.

>that can just make everyday life a little nicer, more luxurious etc.

If this is the goal, you can upgrade something he currently has and uses frequently. One way to think about this is to do an inventory of his typical day -- what items does he interact with or consume all the time? So, if he wakes up pretty early and relies on an alarm clock, you could get him a smart sunrise alarm clock or one that projects on the ceiling.

If he drinks coffee, you could upgrade his coffee bean grinder or get him a French press. (I like the Bodum brand, which is top rated on Wirecutter.) Speaking of, I find the Wirecutter website to be a good source for upgrade ideas. I was going to suggest upgrading bed sheets, but that might go over budget and be hard to fit in a suitcase!

And etc. If there's a specific item you want to upgrade, feel free to come back and ask for suggestions!

I'm not sure which category this would fit into (perhaps Science) but I've always thought Aquitaine Sundials are not only beautiful, but also really clever and I love the story behind them (which is included in the listing).

I really want it.

$10

I have had this clock for about 7 years now and love it. Most clocks should be BI4L anyway, so just get one that you like.

I will never NOT have a clock that shines on the ceiling now.

Thanks, I suspected as much

It doesn't feel humid or damp but I don't really know what 79% humidity feels like compared to 50%.

I'll see what it says tomorrow and then if its still high just throw it in the bin

For anyone curious, it was this model..

Thanks! I think I found it on amazon too.

This is the best alarm clock I have ever owned. You might want to try it. Also has many dim settings.

If you like meat, I highly recommend one of these bad boys, especially for marinating. You apply dry spices and a little olive or other oil to meats as appropriate, then give them a once-over on both sides with this and marinate for some hours or overnight depending on the recipe. The flavor goes everywhere and the resulting meat is surprisingly tasty and juicy.

Sure thing, [here it is!] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001ID2EX4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=211DB264CH78C&coliid=I1XK6CZHX9YGNL)

I had a gym timer w remote and never used its functions. So I sold it and bought the 18" version of this which is a fraction of the cost: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019PJV3N4/ref=twister_B07QL9GF27?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Those Accurite wall clocks come in 14.5" and 18", and 4 colors.

Thats a 14.5 in Red.

Oddly Red is considerably cheaper than the other colors right now.

In the meantime, you can get a reasonable facsimile for about $30

Just grab one of these

I recommend that you just replace the sensor - Replacement outdoor temp sensor(from Amazon under $20) and put a piece of tape over the battery port IF they are falling out.

IF you really want a new battery powered unit, consider this one - http://www.amazon.com/La-Crosse-Technology-WS-8117U-IT-AL-Temperature/dp/B0000VYDKM/ It has no backlight, but No battery powered atomic clocks come with an always on backlight.
