I want to get my kitchen and bedroom upgraded. What’s the best way to start this project?
Question by : I want to get my kitchen and bedroom upgraded. What’s the best way to start this project?
Should I get an interior designer or just do it myself like with software? I have a background in web design. 
Any good resources you can share?

Answer by FaZizzle
First – pick one. You want to do both but start with one and move to the other.
Second – set a budget. How much can you spend on the whole thing? How much do you plan to spend in the kitchen? In the bedroom?
Third – what can you salvage? Most people just gut everything without knowing that they could have saved money by refinishing a lot of cabinets, etc.
Fourth – get an idea of what you want to do. Are you putting in a new floor? New cabinets? New countertops? New paint? Look in magazines and just get an idea of what you want.
Fifth – price everything out. I start at Lowe’s and go from there. I always use private contractors, but Lowe’s at least gives you a hint at the cost.
I wouldn’t just say that your background in web design will trump the need for professionals. You COULD hire an interior designer, but really I would look at contractors unless you want to do the job yourself. Chances are you KNOW what you want. An interior designer helps those who really have no idea what they are doing and have a lot of cash to spend.

Woodley Chemtrails 14 March 2012 (You want crazy, we got crazy)
www.publications.parliament.uk From the House of Commons publications WEATHER MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES 24. While there was a measure of debate that some—CDR, in particular—technologies fell within the definition of geoengineering, there was greater disagreement about weather modification techniques should be included. The Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration (ETC Group) considered that geoengineering should also encompass weather modification techniques such as hurricane suppression and cloud seeding.[52] Cloud seeding causes precipitation by introducing substances into cumulus clouds that cause condensation. Most seeding uses silver iodide, but dry ice (that is, solid carbon dioxide), propane, and salt are also used.[53] 25. These techniques are in use to precipitate rain and to suppress precipitation and hail.[54] Dr James Lee, from the American University, Washington DC, pointed out in his memorandum that cloud seeding was first scientifically demonstrated in 1946[55] and “is a geoengineering tool that is widely used by more than 30 countries” and that with climate change, fresh water resources will be in decline in many parts of the world and one “result may be an increase in the use of cloud seeding”.[56] He cited the example of China, whose: cloud seeding program is the largest in the world, using it to make rain, prevent hailstorms, contribute to firefighting, and to counteract dust storms. On New Year’s Day in 1997, cloud seeding made snow in …

internet fame
Image by Will Lion
“We are so desperate to be loved – chasing page rank, viewing figures, and "friends" we do not really know – that we are practically begging for others approval.”
BBC Click summarising Lee Siegel
“It creates a cult of popularity…It makes people ‘other-directed’…People look to the crowd for approval, without getting in touch with their own instincts, without heeding their own conscience…People want to be watched, they want to be surveilled. Fame is the new wealth, obscurity is the new poverty. They want all eyes upon them”
Lee Siegel, author of Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob

How fast you want to go?

How fast you want to go?
Image by Edge of Space
I am sure many will find this funny or even hilarious, but often times I have thought about the sad fact and truth of lives of millions of such people in Karachi and presumably elsewhere in Pakistan and then outside Pakistan as well.
The time is around 6:30am when I was out to shoot sunrise and here I find almost every bus loaded with these people. Since most of the work is in my area and Karachi being such a huge metropolitan area with the biggest populated city status in Pakistan as well, most of these people must come out of their homes at early 5 or so. The "modern men" like me wake up at 10 or later and have wonderful reception of everything they go and work at their pleasure but most importantly go on living on our lives without giving a hoot about them. Oh, wait, the modern, liberal, wise and educated rich people also care. The intelligent and rich geeks like me create Website Bands containing messages of "End Poverty" or "Make Poverty History" which everyone else follows because people like me are popular and every one wants to do the same thing as popular people do and hey, it looks cool and modern and global too. So, yeah, they care. They know what goes around.
The intelligent, moderate, cultured and rich people go to concerts and have drinks and spend some money on 100 such people. They go to concerts again and manage something like G8 or whatever and they create lots of hand-bands or whatever and they wear them. The original such bands then give rise to more stylish such bands wearing slogans such as "Friendship Forever", Love and so on. The modern, educated, liberal and wise rich men like me DO care. We shoot their pictures, we colorize them, we propagate their truck art works all over the world. The more enlightened liberal, wise, educated and caring rich people go to different places such as UK, Australia and Texas where they see such buses all colored and decorated as nicely as "these" buses look.
Then some wise, rich and educated person decides to hold an exhibition too. These things get popular. Cricketers use them. Lots of people use them. They feel good and "Cultured" sitting in those buses in brave new world outside Pakistan. So, you
see, the "caring man" of the modern society of rich ideas, greater intellect, deeper pockets, higher esteem and certainly better sense of global knowledge DOES a lot of things to "bring awareness" and "care" and such things in the world about these people.
But what I am so ashamed to admit is that the lives of these people NEVER change. Why should any one ever give a damn to look into their lives. Deeper than the outer shell. That thick crust of mysteries, stillness and quietness in this fast-paced world, PL drenched corporations, surrounded by draconian media and liar governments with ugly agendas. No one shall ever look into their lives. No one shall ever know what goes around the world in which they breathe and live. No one shall ever act upon their grievances or shortcomings and the lives they could have adopted – as wise, intelligent, liberal and rich as ours.
‘They could have been somebody, they could have had class and they could have been contenders instead of the bums that they are’ (apologies to Budd Schulberg for using his words). This could be extremely flawed photography and so on but I am glad that the picture does show the stillness of the bus and everything else around moving (sort of paning technique I couldn’t do properly I guess) which is quite on the contrary. The title is not addressed to these people shown in the picture but to the viewers. Because it’s us who may be leaving them behind in hurry not other way round.
Sorry if I wasted anyone’s precious time. It’s just a picture, afterall.
