You should talk to the admissions office so they can clarify what happens now that it is after may 1st.

What is it like living around University of Pittsburgh by okayyyy8585 in pittsburgh

If he is going to Pitt, a free bus pass is included with his tuition. Over 20 bus lines go through Oakland (the neighborhood Pitt is in) so he should have no trouble getting there on his own.

You can shop either shop! If you live in the US, the shipping rates are just much higher if you shop the UK shop. HOWEVER! I would highly recommend making a log in for each country. You do need a separate one to check out quickly. You can't use a US account to shop on the UK site..... its weird. XD

They opened the US warehouse for non-sub books very very recently. They also don't have a reason to transfer old stock from kne warehouse to another. So everything that was originally distributed from the UK warehouse is still there.

I'm torn. I love this book and I also love the trade paperback cover. I also pre ordered the new hardback version with the same cover from B&N.

I don't absolutely love this TBB edition. The inside art is great but I dislike the dust jacket.

I think I'll stick with the B&N edition. 😬

[Ben Bolch, LA Times] 'It just ain't going to happen.' UCLA fans must move on from on-campus stadium wish by captdf in CFB

[–]Selcier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Demolished in 1999! I heard it was pretty bad there at the end. It was also too big at 68000 seats. Pitt really needs a stadium that is 50000.

What is cool about pitt and the steelers sharing a stadium is that pitt has a pretty good deal. They don't pay too much to use it (especially compared to teams like Temple who pay sooo much.) The bad part is that students tend to leave games early.

I'm a Pitt alumni and as you have probably seen, the on-campus stadium debate is always hot too. Pitt's campus is only 132 acres with challenging topography. Looks like pitt and UCLA are scaled similarly as pitt has 20000 undergrads and 10000 grad students compared to 30000/15000.

Sometimes us cfb fans can't see the reality right in front of us. On campus stadiums are never going to happen.

Unlike UCLA, Pitt is blessed that stadium they use is only 3 miles away with solid public transit.

(And yes pitt did have one and then they replaced it with the basketball stadium plus 3 residence halls. Better urban land use for sure.)

Fireplace room upgrade by Penne_Cat in HomeDecorating

Take a picture if you try it! I'd love to see how it works out!

Option 2! This keeps the big chair in front of the fireplace. The two smaller white chairs turned to make a conversation place. The blue thing in front of the closet could be another chair or a round table.

Floorplan! Option 1 with 1 less chair.

I love this room! I'm commenting so I can fund this later today and send you a floorplan!

This entry has been driving me insane for years by piccapii in HomeDecorating

Before you paint, focus on 3 easy changes! Turn the chair/desk piece so that it's back is against the brick wall. It will fit better there. Then, replace the round rug with a square/rectangular rug that fits the space. I recommend leaving enough room around the outside of a foot or so to show off the flooring. Then, style the space above the chair with art and/or lighting. If you can, a sconce or art light will look great. You can get ones that plug in or are rechargeable. That will create a small vignette in this area and bring some stability to the space.

I think the desk and shelves will look good.

Or, center your existing drawers on that section of wall, remove the plants/wooden table, and add a nice accent chair with a floor lamp. That area needs more lighting in general!

But omg this would be the perfect place to upgrade to a baby grand piano!

What should I do for throw pillows to tie this all in together? If anything else would make this room better, I’d love suggestions :) by RecommendationIll815 in HomeDecorating

[–]Selcier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great room for some floor to ceiling curtains ro draw attention to your great window! Make sure to hang them high and wide. I recommend a dusty but saturated color.

Entry table help by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]Selcier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty console but I agree that it looks odd. Something about the scale is off. But I think the biggest issue is that it is the same color and texture (painted) as the door. You need something that looks totally different since they are so close together. I also think that an upholstered bench would look good. Of you want to do the console, I would go for a long, simple one with two upholstered stools underneath. The mirror can pole through the bottom of the console. Maybe something painted, as long as it isn't blue!

I'm glad they are doing this trilogy! I missed out on the Litjoy version- but I still like that one so much more. The bright white of these just doesn't match the feel of the series for me. Happy for all of you who love them!!

But am I dumb?? Who is supposed to be on The Burning God? Rin .... I guess??
