The present invention is directed to devices that receive optical fiber cable connectors and permit them to be interconnected and cross-connected with other optical fiber connectors.
When office buildings and other structures receive incoming telecommunication lines, an interface is needed to receive the incoming lines and interconnect them with switching equipment associated with the building. Heretofore, incoming telecommunication lines have consisted of cables formed of copper wires that connect electrically with the switching equipment in the building. A typical interface consists of mounted �punch-down blocks� that receive the copper wires of the cables within V-shaped grooves to establish an electrical connection. Standard punch-down block designs are commonly referred to as type 66 and type 110 punch-down blocks. These devices have distinctive �footprints� that permit them to be readily installed into standard panels or spaces for installation of these racks.
As fiber optic-based communications have developed, it has become apparent that there is a need to be able to retrofit office buildings and other structures so that they can receive and make use of telecommunication lines made up of fiber optic cables. Up until now, those who have dealt with the problem of installing fiber optic-based cables in office buildings for telecommunications have had to install the connectors and associated adapters in fixed or sliding panels that were most often enclosed in sheet metal housings.
Recently, an optical distribution frame was developed that permits adapters for optical connection to be affixed within drawers in a storage rack. While this arrangement provides clear advantages over the use of metal housings, it is not ideal in every instance. First, shelves are used to mount these adapters, and these shelves must be individually withdrawn from the utility rack in order to access the adapters. Additionally, the utility rack is large�around seven feet tall�and requires room adjacent the rack so that the drawers can be withdrawn from the rack.
It would be an improvement to have a termination block that is compact and can be easily installed in a small area. It would also be an improvement to have a termination block that can be readily and easily substituted for standard copper electrical conduit punch-down blocks, for example, by providing the same or substantially the same footprints as the punch-down blocks.
The present invention provides devices and methods by which fiber optic connectors, and the adapters associated with them can be easily installed upon panels, walls, or other mounting surfaces. A termination block is described that retains a number of adapters to receive fiber optic cable connectors for interconnection and/or cross-connection with other connectors or switching equipment. The termination block has a mounting footprint that is substantially identical to the mounting footprint of an electrical punch-down block, thus permitting ease of retrofitting. The modular termination block also has a low production cost in comparison to prior art devices and arrangements.
In an exemplary described termination block, slider panels are retained within bays in a base unit to secure adapters within the base unit. The slider panels are individually moveable so that each can be slidingly withdrawn from its bay for better access to the adapter secured therewithin. In preferred embodiments, removable markers are affixed to individual slider panels and a removable cover is provided for the termination block. Methods for mounting and retrofitting termination blocks are also described.

Some of the devices constructed in accordance with the present invention are referred to herein as �termination blocks� because they are useful for receiving the terminal ends of external fiber optic communication and/or data conduits. Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary base unit 10 is shown that is used in forming a termination block. The base unit 10 is also visible in FIGS. 3-12. The base unit 10 has a flat, substantially rectangular lower platform 12 that is elongated to provide longitudinal sides 14 and ends 16. Currently preferred dimensions for the platform 12 are approximately 25 cm in length and approximately 5 cm in width to substantially match the size of a standard mounting block for electric cables such as the S66M1-50 block (or �66-block�) available from The Siemon Company. It is noted that the platform 12 might also be constructed to have the same dimensions as the S110M1-50 punch-down block (or �110-block�).
The longitudinal sides 14 present a rectangular tabs 18 and connector brackets 20,22 that extend outwardly from the sides 14. The tabs 18 and the connector brackets 20,22 are used to secure the base unit 10 to a mounting surface such as a wall or panel. The dimensions of the platform 12 and the presence of the tabs 18 and connector brackets 20,22 define a mounting footprint for the base unit 10.
The two tabs 18 are identical. The connector brackets 20 and 22, however, are dissimilar in construction. The first connector bracket 20 has an aperture 24 disposed within it in a longitudinal direction while the connector bracket 22 has an aperture 26 disposed within it in a lateral direction. A slot 28 is cut along the majority of the length of the platform 12.
Each end 16 of the platform 12 has an end panel 30 that lies flush with the end 16 and extends vertically upwardly from the platform 12. The end panels 30 have vertically oriented retaining grooves 32 disposed within them. The upper end of each end panel 30 also has a pair of outwardly extending ears 34.
Between the end panels 30, a plurality of brackets 36 are positioned in a spaced relation from one another. The brackets 36 extend upwardly from the platform 12, thereby defining a series of bays 38 therebetween. Bays 38 are also formed between the brackets 36 and the end panels 30. The brackets 36 are formed by a pair of legs 40, 42 that are affixed to the platform 12 on either side of the slot 28 and joined to one another at their highest point 43. A vertically oriented slot 44 is defined between the legs 40, 42 of each of the brackets 36 below the point of joining 43. The vertical slots 44 are aligned with the slot 28 within the platform 12. As will be described shortly, the brackets 36 retain a plurality of slider panels 50.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4, the insertion of an exemplary slider panel 50 into a bay 38 of the base unit 10 is shown. The slider panel 50 is formed from a vertically oriented plate 52 and a horizontally oriented top plate 54. The upper surface of the top plate 54 provides a convenient surface for writing or the placement of markings or other indicia, such as labels for identification of particular cable connections. The vertical plate 52 is essentially a flat rectangular member that contains a large aperture 56 and a smaller aperture 58 that is best seen in FIG. 7. The top plate 54 provides a finger lift for the slider panel 50 so that the panel 50 may be lifted and slidingly withdrawn from its bay 38.
The lateral sides of the vertical plate 52 have slider portions 60 that are sized and shaped to fit within the vertical slot 44 of a bracket 36 or the groove 32 in an end panel 30. A shoulder 62 is provided at the upper end of each slider portion 60. It is pointed out that the slider panels 50 are shaped and sized to fit within the bays 38 of the base unit 10.
As can be seen by reference to FIGS. 3-5, the slider panels 50 are disposed below the platform 12 and slidingly inserted from the lower side of the base unit 10 through the slot 28 and into the individual bays 38. This method of insertion is particularly advantageous since it will be difficult to inadvertently remove a slider panel 50 from its bay 38 once the base unit 10 has been secured to a mounting surface.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, an adapter 64 is shown being disposed within the large aperture 56 of the slider panel 50. The adapter 64 has an outer, block-like housing 66 having an enlarged portion 68 at one end and a smaller portion 70 at the other end. An enlarged receptacle 72 (as illustrated in FIGS. 5-7) is disposed in the enlarged portion 68 (see FIGS. 5 and 6), and a smaller receptacle 74 is disposed in the smaller portion 70 (see FIGS. 7, 8 and 9). It is noted that the adapter 64 may be configured, if desired, to receive MT-RJ connectors or another type of connector on both or either of its ends. Although not shown, it should be understood that the adapter 64 defines a passage therein between the two receptacles 72, 74 so that transmitted light may pass entirely through the adapter 64.
The smaller portion 70 of the housing 66 is shaped and sized to be slidingly inserted into the large aperture 56 of the slider panel 50. The upper side of the smaller portion 70 presents an outwardly protruding tab 76 having a slanted, forward-facing cam surface 78 and a vertically-oriented, rearward-facing stop face 80. The lower side of the housing 66 is also provided with a hinged or cantilevered latch (not shown) of a type known in the art that can be depressed to facilitate sliding insertion of the smaller portion 70 of the housing 66 into the large aperture 56. FIGS. 5-7 illustrate this sliding insertion. When inserted, the upper edge of the large aperture 56 slips over the cam face 78 of the tab 76 so that the adapter 64 is retained within the large aperture 56. Contact by the stop face 80 with the edge of the large aperture 56 prevents the adapter 64 from being easily removed from the aperture 56.
The enlarged receptacle 72, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, is shaped and sized to receive and retain a FirstLink� connector. As FIGS. 5 and 6 show, the enlarged receptacle 72 has a main entrance portion 82 and a pair of key ways 84 located on either lateral side of the main entrance portion 82, these being formed to receive portions of a FirstLink connector when that connector is seated therein.
The smaller receptacle 74 is shaped and sized to receive and retain a standard MT-RJ connector of the type commonly used on the end of an optical fiber cable. The receptacle 74 also has a main entrance portion 86 for reception of the body of an MT-RJ connector and a single key way 88 located on the upper side of the main entrance portion 86 that receives the key and latch of an MT-RJ connector. The construction and operation of MT-RJ and FirstLink-style connectors and receptacles for receiving them are well understood and, therefore, will not be described in any detail here.
FIGS. 7 and 8 depict the attachment of a removably affixable marker 90 to a slider panel 50. The marker 90 is used to affix a particular symbol, word, numeral, icon or other indicia to the slider panel 50. For example, a marker might carry the symbol for a telephone (see FIG. 9) indicating that optical fiber cables connected through that particular slider panel are used for transmitting telephone communications. The exemplary marker 90 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has a panel 92 with a pair of attachment prongs 94 (visible in FIG. 7) affixed thereto. The panel 92 provides a surface 96 for the placement of a desired indicia. The indicia might be placed upon the surface 96 by stamping, engraving, writing, labeling or by other techniques.
The marker 90 is affixed to a slider panel 50 by disposing the prongs 94 within the smaller aperture 58 to provide an interference fit between the components. If it is desired to remove the marker 90, the marker 90 is pulled outwardly to remove the prongs 94 from the aperture 50. Because the marker 90 can be removed and replaced with another marker, remarking of the slider panels 50 is a simple matter.
The above-described operations can be repeated in order to install other slider panels 50, adapters 64 and markers 90 in each or some of the bays 38 of the base unit 10. FIG. 9 shows a slider panel 50 and an adapter 64 present in each of the bays 38 of the base unit 10. Those of skill in the art will understand that it the adapters 64 may be inserted within the slider panels 50 either before or after the base unit 10 has been affixed to a support surface as will be described shortly.
Referring now to FIGS. 10 and 11, a plurality of standard MT-RJ connectors 98 are shown disposed within the smaller receptacles 74 of the smaller portion 70 of the adapters 64. Although not shown, it will be understood that each of the connectors 98 is affixed to the end of an optical fiber cable. A plurality of connectors 100, the illustrated connectors being FirstLink connectors, are disposed within the larger receptacles 72 of the larger portion 68 of the adapters 64.
As depicted in FIGS. 10 and 11, the slider panels 50 can be pulled upwardly and slidingly withdrawn from the bays 38 to provide better access to the adapter 64 and the connectors inserted within it. Upward movement of the slider panel 50 is halted when the shoulders 62 of the slider portions 60 contact the joined portion 43 of the brackets 36.
FIG. 12 illustrates the placement of a removable cover 102 onto the base unit 10. The cover 102 is provided with a pair of notches 104 at either longitudinal end which are sized and shaped to retain the ears 34 of the end panels 30, such retention removably securing the cover 102 to the base unit 10. The cover 102 serves the function of protecting the adapters 64, connectors 98 and associated components from dust and other contaminants. The cover 102 is also useful to provide a clean and neat appearance by concealing the connectors and other components from view as well providing a convenient surface for marking or labeling.
Termination blocks of the type described above may be installed in an equipment rack, in a frame, or directly to a wall or other mounting surface. Referring now to FIGS. 13 and 14, features of an exemplary mounting and/or retrofitting process are described. It is a feature of the invention that the termination block apparatus is capable of easily replacing a standard punch-down block, such as the S66M1-50 block. Since the exemplary termination block has substantially the same mounting dimensions as the standard 66-type copper punch-down block, it may be used in most any mounting configuration, using the same mounting accessories, as the punch-down block.
FIG. 13 depicts an exemplary wall type mounting arrangement wherein several columns 110 of optical fiber retainer assemblies 112 are affixed to a wall or other flat surface 114. Six exemplary columns 110 of retainer assemblies 112 are illustrated. In each column 110, four retainer assemblies 112 are aligned in an end-to-end relation along the wall 114. At the lower end of each column 110 of retainer assemblies 112, an optical fiber �D-ring� bracket 116 and a slack storage hub 118 are mounted. It is noted that the D-ring bracket 116 has upper and lower connecting portions (see FIG. 14) that present arcuate inner surfaces 120 shaped to have a sufficiently large radius to ensure that an optical fiber following the contour of the surface 120 is not bent beyond its critical bend radius. Above each of the columns 110, a strain-relief bracket 122 is mounted for securely holding a bundled optical fiber cable.
Although not shown, it should be understood that, prior to affixing the retainer assemblies 112 in the pattern shown, copper cable punch-down blocks and associated equipment were removed from the surface 114. The punch-down blocks provided the same mounting footprint as the retainer assemblies 112 and were arranged in the column pattern shown in FIG. 13. Also, standard copper cable D-rings (not shown) were removed and replaced with the optical fiber D-rings 116 described above. Standard D-rings used with copper cable are generally unsuitable for use with optical fibers because they provide small, narrow engagement portions, and an optical fiber contacting those portions will be easily bent beyond its critical bend radius, thereby impairing or destroying the ability of the optical fiber to transmit light. Once the punch-down blocks have been removed and the copper cable D-rings replaced with optical fiber D-rings 116, the columns 110 of connector retainer assemblies 112 are installed in the arrangement shown.
FIG. 14 is a closer view of the upper portions of two of the columns 110. As shown there, a bundled optical fiber cable 124 extends downward along the wall 114. The bundled cable 124 has an outer sheath 126 that covers a plurality of two-fiber cables 128. The optical fiber connector retainer assemblies 112 each include a termination block 130 of the type described earlier having base unit 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the retainer assemblies 112 also include a stand-off frame 132 of a type known in the art.
The stand-off frame 132 provides an upper mounting surface 134 and apertured sides 136 that define a space 138 beneath the mounting surface 134. The apertured sides 136 of the frame 132 permit cables 128 to pass beneath the mounting surface 134. The stand-off frames 132 are affixed to the wall 114 by screws 139 that pass through flanges 140 that extend outwardly from the sides of the stand-off frame 132.
In the arrangement depicted in FIG. 14, the termination blocks 130 are mounted atop each of the stand-off frames 132. The blocks 130 are secured to the frames 132 by means of snap tabs 142 that secure the sides 14 of the platform 12 of the termination block 130 by engaging the rectangular tabs 18 along the sides 14. The snap tabs 142 are provided with a tapered camming surface 142 a and a stop face 142 b that is directed in an opposite direction. As the platform 12 is pushed downwardly onto the mounting surface 134 of the frame 132, the rectangular tabs 18 engage the camming surface 142 a and urge the snap tabs 142 outwardly permitting the tabs 18 to slip past the camming surface 142 a. At this point, the tab 18 will be prevented from a reverse movement by engagement of the tab 18 with the stop face 142 b.
It is pointed out that, if desired, the stand-off frame 132 may alternatively be omitted and the termination block 130 mounted directly to the wall 114. When this mounting arrangement is used, it is preferred that screws or other connectors be disposed through the slots 24,26 in the connector brackets 20, 22 as such mounting may take advantage of using pre-drilled screw holes used for previously attaching a copper cable punch-down block to the wall 114.
As illustrated in FIG. 14, a portion of the outer sheath 126 is removed from the bundled fiber 124 proximate the securing bracket 122, and the individual fibers 128 are disposed through the apertured sides 136 of the stand-off frames 132. The fibers 128 are run beneath the upper end of the top stand-off frame 132 and then routed to where they are needed. One fiber 128 is shown in FIG. 14 run through one side 136 and then looped upwardly where the affixed connector 144 is inserted into an adapter 146 in the termination block 130. Fibers 128 may also be run down through the column 110 and through the D-ring bracket 116 to an adjacent location (not shown). Excess lengths of optical fiber may be wound around the slack hubs 118.
While the invention has been shown or described in only some of its forms, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that it is not so limited, but is susceptible to various changes within departing from the scope of the invention.

Anybody who is familiar with Pink Floyd knows very well that the uniform and the above mentioned lyrics symbolize the fascist ideoligies of the world. They are sarcasticaly put and condemned all through the album (and the movie). They were made in 1979 and they have no anti semitic intention whatsoever. The pig baloon with the star of david and Roger Waters' political agenda against İsrael on the other hand, is new and very sad.

Pa. PD to be fully staffed for first time in 5 years
"You're never caught up for long," said Chief Larry Palmer. "It's just the nature of the business."
By Michael Buck
The Eastern Pennsylvania Express-Times
EASTON, Pa. — City police are adding six officers and hope to have the streets fully staffed by year's end for the first time in at least five years, police officials said.
After conducting oral exams with 116 people over three weeks, Capt. Michael Vangelo said his department is running background checks on the top six candidates.

Nothing like a bit of support for Roy Hodgson
Last updated at 13:16, Thursday, 03 May 2012
There's nothing like giving someone the benefit of the doubt and allowing them the chance to find their feet and prove their worth.
And The Sun has certainly done nowt like that with the new England manager Roy Hodgson.
While other national newspapers pointed to his experience and intelligence, the nation's biggest selling daily paper decided to use its front page to mock the fact that Hodgson turns his 'r's into 'w's like Jonathan Ross.
So what if Hodgson happens to speak five languages, has managed in eight countries and won 11 titles or trophies?
The national papers, especially the tabloids, wanted to see Harry Redknapp installed. Not because he has perfect vowels and crisp consonants. Because he hasn't. Has he? No, they wanted 'our 'Arry' because he is mates with all the London-based football writers.
Hodgson's not photogenic like Jose Mourinho or Roberto Mancini, he hasn't got the mateyness of Redknapp or Venables, nor the character of Dalglish or Alex Ferguson.
But of all the England managers, he's the only one with actual experience in international management.
He took Switzerland to the World Cup finals in 1994, beating Italy and qualifying the team for Euro '96.
Apart from his time at Liverpool, he's had amazing success with other underperforming teams – which is perfect for our national side.
It isn't the manager we should worry about, it's the 11 people who go on the pitch and consistently let the country down.
I hope Roy proves The Sun has made an 'r's of itself.

New here, saying Hi!
Hello all,
I joined the other day and already posted in two threads. Thought I should introduce myself a bit.
I haven't gardened in 5 years or more, but I enjoy it. Not sure if I'm really a ChilliHead or not, but I can take some heat.
I'm trying to get my list down to manageable for what I will have room for and time for, for next year. I'll be asking about some of the places before I place orders. I've done some searching here already, but usually just find that someone has ordered from a place, but no input on reliability, quality of seeds, etc. I have figured out a couple of places I won't order from based on reading some of the threads here.
I'm in zone 7 in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Just in case you're wondering "Willamette" is pronounced Will-am-et and "Oregon" is pronounced Or-y-gun. The Y is for the long sounding e. And yes, we are sensitive about that here.
I've nothing to trade this year, but should have some next year.
Welcome Orekoc!
I'm new to posting in peppers, but not new to gardenweb.
I'm excited to post that I got my first red tepin today! The heat wilted my plants pretty good, but I've watered them and suspect they'll bounce back quickly.
Now if my Peruvian Serlano would hurry and fatten up its fruits!
p.s. Thanks romy6 for getting me started!
Thanks everyone.
I'll plan for the seed swap. Hmmmm, I have some tomato seeds from a few years back, maybe I can swap that. I'll have to do some germination tests on them and see if they are still good.
Well, I'm stocking up on the TP. I'll have to make room in the freezer for it.
Thanks, Orekoc!
I'm growing several other peppers (in pots) with along the tepin:
Aji Limon
Peruvian Serlano
Florida wild
Chocolate Habenero (lagging behind the rest)
NuMex Twilight
Yellow Primo
Brain Strain
Carolina Reaper
Some superhots and some interesting ones. All fun to watch grow!
Hey Bryon,
Nice looking list. I plan to try several on your list next year. By any chance is the PDX, meaning Portland Oregon? If so, I'm south of you in Salem.
Red habanero
Orange habanero
Black naga
Yellow fatali
Peter pepper
St peter
Red bhut
Chocolate bhut
Peach bhut
Chocolate scorpion
Cow horn
7 pot Jonah
Naga morich
Malaysian Goronong
Red devils tongue
Naga viper
Carolina reaper
Hot cherry
Church bells
And many accidentally crosses lol.
And have about 15 more varieties just got in from an Australian buddy. I'm so ready for the swaps to start. All this talk of it has me antsy
Welcome, neighbor. I am up a bit north in Washington. Well, we are sensitive about it too, it is named after George Washington, not Washington DC. hehe
Wow Greenthumb, that is quite the list. Several on your list are on mine too. I'll see what I can manage to grow next year. I think I may have put my foot in it. I just posted a long answer about the supposed legal issues around Carolina Reaper in the Joe legit thread. And this was before my glass of wine! Can't blame it on the alchool.
Seysonn, I sent you an e-mail through this site.
Yes, the PDX in my login is Stumptown. And hi to seysonn to the north and Josh to the south!
My primary outdoor passion is garlic, and I grew about a dozen varieties this year (no Elephant garlic, blech!) So when it comes time to trade, I hope that'll be useful currency. :)
Dennis, thanks for telling me that. I'll still feel a bit guilty about it, but I'll try to get over it.
Seysonn, another PNWer, great. You'll have to tell me all about your growing experiences out here. Oh, I was born in Ellensburg WA, in case you wanted to know, moved when I was 2 weeks old though, so I don't remember it.
Garlic seeds sound good to me as well. I spent way too much on garlic seeds and they didn't turn out all that great. I'd like to try again, but it was too expensive.
I'll have peppers, tomatoes, and if people are interested, 6 kinds of hops (for beer). I'm in the other Washington (DC), but I don't mind sharing the name.
Welcome fellow Oregonian, I dont live there anymore but my heart will always be there. Don't ya just love when people say Oh-ree-gone....lmao! Willamette valley is amazing! I'm over due for a visit to see family.
I am pretty new to this site as well and I can only say positive things about the people and knowledge you will find in the hot pepper forum.
HAHA here in Ohio we pronounce it ORA-GONE. I had a friend awhile back move to Oregon. One of the first things out of his mouth when I talked to him again was that we say it wrong lol. I think I remember him saying itâÂÂs pronounced "organ" like the instrument or something like that.
Seysonn, another PNWer, great. You'll have to tell me all about your growing experiences out here.
Got your email. I just replied. Need your Mailing address. No need for SASE.
I am in Sammamish, WA. Pretty much like Portland, OR, always a few degrees cooler. We just don't get real warm weather. This past 2 weeks was an exception and highly welcomed. Now we are back to normal.
BTW: I am a new transplant here, not a longtime resident or native. It is a challenge to grow peppers. My medium hot peppers have no pods yet. But sweet/mild ones are doing ok.
here is a container of few mild peppers.
@Seysonn - I think growing in pots should help; our soil out here just doesn't warm up all that fast and I think peppers need a warm soil to really do well.
@scott123456 - Can I call you Six? Yeah, if you ever make it to the West Coast, try to say Oregon correctively, ya won't sound like such a noob. 3 syllables, Or Y Gun, the gon sounds the same as in Wagon, unless you say Wagone? Lesson over for the day. Man I hope you can take some teasing. I'm not sure when to put up my dream list. Do I just put it in my profile? Start a thread, what? I don't want to make a giant faux pas just starting out here.
@djoy - Thanks for the welcome and you'll be back. Most Oregonians can't stay away forever.
@jutsFL - Well, I can't swap this year, I can only beg!
@Greenman28 - Howdy!

(creeping) phlox subulata
Does anyone grown creeping phlox in this climate? I know it blooms in the Spring, but what does it look like the rest of the year? Does the foliage it die back in freezing temperatures or is it mostly evergreen? I'm trying to naturalize a small area and was wondering if this might be a good choice.
The big boxes like Lowes will have a huge array of ground phlox in the early spring. It spreads nicely here in full to part sun, but it doesn't like to be shaded too much by other plants. This has been my experience, but I do not have full, full sun anywhere.
I agree with puppyscruff. I mostly have part sun and it does fine, but it will lose it's leaves and die out in that spot if it gets overshadowed by bigger plants for too long. It roots as it goes, so it just keeps on growing in the spots it likes. So if you did plant bulbs make sure they are small stuff that won't overshadow it- like fall crocus or stuff like that.

It was clean and comfy and the location was alright.
Everything's was fine.
All of the vending machines were broken and not functioning properly as well as the ice machine on our floor. I was not able to get a bottle of water to save my life. The building is very dated and the hallways are squeaky. The walls are very thin so you can hear everything going on in all rooms especially when walking down hall.
It was quite.
It was way overpriced.
We booked a room through Booking.com via KAYAK . There was no opportunity on the site to specify a non-smoking room. It never occurred to me while I was making the reservation that I would need to specify.
The clerk said we should have reserved through the Motel 6 site. As they were full except for one non-smoking room, we had to choose whether to stay in a tobacco permeated room or cancel our reservation & find another place to stay.
The clerk let us into the room to help us decide if we could tolerate it. When we decided we had to find another hotel, they cancelled our reservation without any problems.
This is not a critique of Motel 6. I am very disappointed that Booking.com and/or KAYAK didn't allow me to choose a non-smoking room in advance or at least redirect me to the Motel 6 reservation site where I could have selected a non-smoking room.
Very modern and clean. Accessible and an easy 15 minute drive to downtown SB. The faucet in the bathroom was a bit wobbly but everything else was just fine. Good bang for your buck!
Easy check-in and check-out. Modern facilities and décor.
Missing basic amenities such as a blow dryer, iron, shampoo/conditioner, mini fridge, etc. that motels typically offer. Would have been nice to at least have a blow dryer.
This hotel understands that it's the little things that make a difference. From the room decor to the fresh mixed berries with the daily continental breakfast, the hotel felt like a quaint B&B. The hotel staff was very pleasant and accommodating.
Not the hotel's fault, but the ocean view was obstructed by freeway bush overgrowth. The city/county should allow hotels to remove natural view obstructions at the hotel's expense. I wasn't crazy about the train blowing it's horn at 3am and 7am either.
Just about everything.. From the hotel.. To the view to the food.. Will definitely stay here again.
Very friendly and dedicated staff; breakfast included hot and cold items and was well-stocked with friendly service; pool area was nice and water was kept very warm; beds were comfortable, room felt spacious for a family; sliding glass doors to patio did an amazing jobof blocking street noise. We would definitely stay here again.
Clean, walking distance from the beach, close to downtown Santa Barbara, good price, free breakfast
Motel style with exterior doors, could hear neighbors coming and going (this was not actually very disruptive), slow wifi
Price for the area
Cute, quaint, clean
Needs an update on furniture and carpet
Every thing was as represented, made my stay very easy.
The grounds are beautiful. For a couple of the days I was at the hotel I didn't leave the premises. It was so relaxing to be by the pool or sit on the porch in front of my room. If you want to get away and be pampered this is the place to stay.
I had dinner one evening at the hotel and for the price I paid I expected better. The meals I had at local restaurants in town were better and at much lower prices. I guess there is a price to pay for the beautiful views from the terrace of the hotel.
The location and the mushroom risotto - the bar area including the singer. The pianist was great.
Staff was so not on A-game - literally felt like twilight zone. Numerous requests and literally felt like there was no management and a bunch of amateurs running around. We had four waiters every meal and they'd ask us the same questions.
Friendly, accommodating staff, great location, nicely landscaped, well maintained, clean, comfortable
Room small not updated
That it only lasted two days ;)
Love the location - near Vons, In-N-Out ,and close to the freeway. The pool and spa are great and the grounds are very relaxing. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy.
This was the second time i stayed here. I really dislike the A/C in the rooms. they do not work right. It shuts off when it wants and goes on periodically. This NEEDS to be updated soon. I would definitely choose a room downstairs and facing the pond and pool.
The room was clean and comfortable. It was stocked appropriately. The room was quiet even though it was close to freeway.
The breakfast was very bad. The eggs was over cooked, coffee was terrible, waffle taste like cardboard. The seating area was too small.
If you want to be able to walk to the beach and walk to shopping, this place is terrific. The pool was clean and double tree cookies are always a nice touch. The staff seems to be pretty well managed. Except for one bar tender, I got the feeling the management must spend time training in hospitality.
For the price, (I paid about $360 a night for a standard room) the property in general looks pretty ragged. The rooms and hallways are in need of an upgrade. Even a few days later, I'm still thinking about spending over $50 for my daughter and I to eat some scrambled eggs and drink coffee.
proximity to the ocean and state street. Service staff was courteous
too pricey for the amenities. room was standard, generally priced at $110 at other properties. got a terrible massage at the hotel spa
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Possible Skyrim DLC or Mods from DICE 2012 Keynote Address
Here is the footage from Todd Howard's keynote address at DICE 2012. This was from the Bethesda Game Jam after the game shipped in 2011.
by Dan Mihoerck on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Was that Bruce Lee playing Skyrim?
Skeleton butler made me laugh.
pls Tell me THAY ARE ON ALL 3 (XBOX, PC, PS3) AND YOU CAN USE THIS WITHOUT KINECT
YES TO PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THOSE! They just released a few with patch 1.5 I wouldn't mind seeing the rest, or almost all of them... pretty great! The folliage is great! and SPEARs please with spears+ throwing them.
Thats a DLC I wouldn't mind paying for
Any visual/animation improvements (liked seasonal foliage and footprints) should be added obviously, spears and magic arrows make sense, and conjuring friendly's combining two different spells definitely works. Most of these should be implemented if they can make it work, they're already adding the kill cams in update 1.5. The only one that seems out of place to me is the dragon mounting, although it's probably fkn awesome to do, not to mention probable loading/lag issues with consoles while flying in the game. So far my Skyrim experience has been great, no quest breaking glitches, only minor glitches (dead dragons appearing in new area's and guild members bugging out), knock on wood. Playing on 360, un-patched and 100+ hours gameplay. Make it happen Bethesda DLC style please!
I love the seasonal foliage + flow-based water shader. will we ever see this on some DLC or in some other forms? (sorry 4 bad en)
they done it just in a week! amazing!
@GamerOuTLaWz er....cheers? Not sure what you mean but erm.........yeah super???? Bit of shame modding any new areas interior or exterior is so bugged within the toolkit that it's actually impossible to make anything in terms of making new areas so don't expect any particuliar great mods that add new areas. I notice the open cities mod has been totally screwed over due to 2 very stupid massive bugs in the toolkit that have been there for 5 years and development on that has pretty much been stopped now. Bit of a shame really as the things you could do with that toolkit could be so good :(
There are some great ideas here for expanding the gameplay for those that have already hammered the game. I like the graphical tweaks should look good with all the current tweaks I have already applied. SPEARS return YEAH! Last seen in Morrowind.
I like the music of this video helloo ohh ......... :P
Is this future DLC, or can I download and install these mods now?...where can I get these dag nabbit?!!! I already got the best ones from Steam Workshop, and Skyrim Nexus, but these mods, created by the Bethesda team, dookie stain all over my existing mods.
@dawnofhero no prob bro, is just cuz many hater have any idea of what is to make a game... like they may not put the mounted combat because they might think that would unbalance the game for example, has u said, maybe they had their reasons for leaving it out.
can't wait
@statistx Well the game had a huge amount of content anyway...and if they thought in the same way the game would never get completed, as they would just continuously add things. Im just glad they might be adding this on now, it is good when developers support their game and community after release...making dlc is not always good or fair, but in this case i think it is...its not as if the game was lacking anything (just from my experience anyway, as i know some people would argue that it was).
hmm I'm guessing they will add them to the expansion (cross fingers :P) while your at it Beth. just make a whole new province XD or you no get arrow in knee *trollface*
2:41 they also have that with enbseries. And actually better SSAO. But bethesda, i hope you upload some of these mods to the steam workshop sometime in the future.
2:30 they already have that. It's called thuumic.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!.....O.o......can't wait for all these.....
Omg, why not add all of these to the game?? Heck even sell them as DLC, as long as you include a hard copy version you can buy I'll be happy.
It amazes me the things people can do in a week. What'll they come up with in a year? Fantastic!
Awesome, but makes you wonder, since those only took a week by single people, why some of those features aren't allready in the game...
what if that week was spent on fixing bugs ! that would be the most productive week you had in years
That was brilliant i want all of these...and omg that giant mudcrab was epic :o
i want that lyncanthropy skill tree
I thought combining diffrent spells and putting out sources of light were already in the game untill I played it :( Still best game ever though.
@LorDofGod Jeepers creepers, lol, no need to get in a knot, I was just wondering why Bethesda didn't put this content in the game originally. It seems like it would have been a no-brainer to do so, especially after they let the staff put their ideas into it and it only took them a week to come up with all that stuff. Mounted combat? Heck, Twilight Princess had mounted combat back in 06'. Bethesda could have easily incorporated that idea into Skyrim. But, maybe they had their reasons for leaving it out.
Spears! A whole new weapon type! ME GUSTA!!!!
Can't wait for this, gonna reinstall Skyrim :D
awesome! this stuff isn't out yet right? I feel lame if it is :/
"an era where our motivation is largely intrinsic, and that the aspects of this motivation can be divided into autonomy, mastery and purpose" Daniel Pink All these mods were made by messing around instead of working. That's right just do your own thing instead your usual work for a week, the catch is that the company keeps what you come up with. From standard corporate thinking they just risked wasting 2% of the year!
@Ar13ls - Very truly said man !!! Bethesda made a great game with a lot of hard work and still are making it even better !!!! come on people give them your appreciation for the great work that they've done, so that they can make the game even better. p.s - we cannot undo the fact that the game has been released without these contents , so we just have to wait for these contents to be released at sometime soon.
They came up with some cool stuff.
i can't believe the stuff people says. you people don't even know how games are made and limitations and choices have to be made in order to have an overall balanced and complete game. for exemple, they could easily put dragon mounts in the game, but it would probably be unbalanced and need a lot of tweaking that takes time. these things need a reason and time to be implanted. other things might look good in the video, but not as good on a regular PC (the water effect for exemple).
At least a couple of those were already made by modders ;p
At all the people complaining.....It's called a mod community. It's how Bethesda titles work. The original game was great and had a lot of content. Sorry if you didn't like it. All this new stuff is just icing on the cake. I for one am happy to see all the new stuff coming out.
Yes please to all... apart from the Kinect shouts, not so much... unless those (like me) who don't want to spend £100 on a novelty can use the microphone situated in headsets! You kinda have to wonder why some of these were not in the game to begin with? Maybe if they had a similar approach to making the game exclusively for console or possibly one of the consoles then they would have had a lot longer to work on the glitches and bugs (please fix them now! I can't wait another two months to finish a broken quest or get rid of items stuck in my inventory or fight the one hundredth bloody dragon) and also implement some of these ideas. Lesson to be learnt: let the PC have it first as they can get round bugs/glitches through the console window. Consoles (Xbox 360 PS3) have no such choice in the matter! Booooooo!
I want to d/l all of them right now.
How about you put those in the game instead of messing around?
*looks at PS3 and laptop* *weeps*
So that means that if you took 2 more weeks to produce the game, all those could have been in....Hmmmm... Or you just gonna put it out as DLCs '' Skyrim Enhanced DLC'' and rip off some money...Hmmmmm Good work.... fails
Guaranteed there's a couple hundred skilled modders working down the list of features this video displayed heh. By the time any of these show up in official dlc pc users will of been running with everything here for months :)
Are you kidding me Bethesda?!! This looks like stuff that should have been in the actual game. This game would be a 10! with all of that. All I got from this video was that the game should have been the best game of the last 20 years! I love Skyrim, but now I'm pissed at being a console gamer. This is crap!!!!
Skeleton Butler FTW
I've got an idea. Let's keep putting things out that rub in my face that I should've gotten a gaming PC. *sigh* Just gunna have to hope that some of this makes it to the consoles. I don't even want the cool stuff cause I KNOW the consoles won't be able to handle it. Would be a waste of time to even try. Keep the PC awesome!

Foundation Lintels?
Hi, I'm cross posting this with same in Old House forums and posting here as basement forum is pretty dry slow.
I'm wondering you might give comment on foundation lintels. Our house was built in 1948, In 1975, two additions were added laterally with crawl spaces enclosed by concrete and brick foundation.
Steel foundation lintels were designed to bridge height difference between original and new addition. The lintels are on the front wall foundation near the ground below concrete and bricks, just as you enter the crawl space opening from the original furnace room.
These steel lintels were used in place of continuous footings, as there was a change in footing elevation. The original concrete basement is sub grade around 8 feet, and the adjacent crawl spaces are sub-grade around 3 feet.
With all the rain we've had in the mid-atlantic area this spring, preceded by the polar vortex multi-freeze days and subsequent thaw, we had an isolated episode of heavy water entry (ground water rise and surface water). Over the last four months, focus of the source of the main water entry has feel upon these steel lintels, as the area beneath the lintel is open. This opening may be for venting of the crawl space as required then by code, and/or by contribution of dirt erosion from water.
I have been in the crawl spaces multiple times to check the brick on cinder foundation walls. Both exteriorly and interiorly there is no evidence of bowing, heaving, horizontal or vertical cracks. The steel lintels are not dislodged, are anchored on both ends of their length, show some rust as expected in a crawl space from moisture. They are roughly 5/8" (H) x 6" (D) x 4' (L).
Does anyone have any thought on how to reduce water entry? By the way, this area of the front foundation had full exterior waterproofing and drainage system away from house done by same company.
Thank you for any insight.

Ha, Trebruchet. Do you mean leave well enough alone? Do you have any suggestions how to minimize water intrusion through this area?
That is where I am confused. Surely when this was foundation built, it passed City code, with the lintel installation.Is the hole for venting as I have read?
This post was edited by SparklingWater on Mon, Aug 11, 14 at 8:40
A photo would help a lot but if I had to guess, the waterproofing was probably not adequate. Many builders use damp-proofing and call it waterproofing. The first thing to do is prevent surface water from getting near your foundation.
A vent to the outside would be required by code but it is usually not effective and the wood can be attacked by fungus. But I don't know your climate or the floor surface of the crawl space. The steel lintels should be galvanized.
Thank you Renovator8. Below is a photo.
Regarding the exterior french drain and foundation waterproofing: this is a Best List/Angie List engineer owned (civil and geological) firm with few complaints over the years. They came well recommended and were paid well for their work. I do wonder why we were not told of these openings when they did the membrane part. I have faith in all steps except question if a good amount of course gravel was used in back fill (like 50%) rather than just put in the clay dirt removed which is a possibility, as well as if the pvc was wrapped in a glove to avoid silt entry. I have asked without response, but will ask again. After excavation, first any foundation holes were filled, then tar paint applied then thick water membrane was affixed. All of the exterior foundation 4" pvc runs to a pop up a good distance to the side which we check regularly. 6" gutters all-around the house with intact downspouts merged with their pvc. A 6" grade drop away from the house is my next step this fall. No tree roots in vicinity of foundation.
As to the dirt/cement crawl space surface, I removed all wet old plastic and broken tar paint- a laborious process done by hand, rolling up the old thin plastic, scooping the dirt/tar and putting all into heavy black garbage bags. I'll include a photo too of the work I just did in one of the two crawl spaces with installing new membrane over cleaned surface. Vents to this crawl are closed off to disallow humidity (zone 5).
This is a big work in process for me.

Adding handrail to front stoop help?
I need to add a handrail to a concrete front stoop (only one step up), that is very sturdy and can help people get up on to the stoop. It is less than a one foot step up and no railing/handrail is required by code, but my parents with physical limitations really need something to help pull themselves up with a good grip and something to steady themselves when stepping down.
The front stoop is concrete and there is a concrete walkway below it that is not very wide. I do not want to attach anything to the concrete walkway as it is already too narrow and using concrete anchors would need to be a couple of inches from the edge making it even narrower.
I have seen handrails for single steps that are basically a singe post with a slanted top rail, but it seems like it would be significantly sturdier to have two posts holding up the handrail. I am wondering if it is possible to have one post attached to the concrete stoop with anchors and a lower post driven into the ground below alongside the concrete walkway.
Style is not as important as function. I have seen railings made out of galvanized pipe and also those made with 4x4 posts. I don't think the prefab ones would work in this situation and can't afford to have something custom made or installed. I'm just looking for any input on how to do this easily and safely. Thanks.

front loading washer doesn't get clothes clean
8 years ago I bought a GE profile front loading washing machine based on it's rating from Consumer Reports. It has never gotten clothes as clean as my old, cheap top loader. It is great for gentle washing, but I garden and get actual dirt on my clothes and all my white stuff comes out just as dirty as it went it (socks, etc.). I use the correct HE detergent and have started using those Oxyclean pods, too. Should I just give up and buy another washing machine? Consumer's still states that front loaders get clothes cleaner. I think 8 years is still pretty young for a washing machine, but I come from a time when appliances lasted 20 yeares or so. Should I buy a new one, and if so, what brand?
For work clothes I would run the normal cycle, warm wash, heavy dirt. I have never had work clothes come through the wash dirty. Now for whites work clothes, I use cloryx...same normal cycle, warm wash, heavy dirt. Some people use Oxiclean instead of cloryx and that is good also.
Oh, I should say that after eight years of trying different detergents, switching to Charlies Soap, Seventh Generation Natural Oxy and Baking Soda plus eliminating fabric softener was the best thing I ever did! (I mix it up in a cup of hot water to make sure it's all dissolved, pour it directly into the drum before I load the laundry.)
To add a bit of scent (Charlie's is scent-free), the first thing I do is add one teaspoon of Purex scent crystals directly to the drum.

Those top-loaders that fill up with water and actually agitate -- they really do get dirty clothes clean. I suggest you investigate to find out what it would cost you to buy one now. Also, look on craigslist to see what you could sell your front-loader for. Or maybe there's someone you can give it to, instead of sending it to the landfill.
If it's too expensive or it doesn't feel right to get another washer, then you're going to have do the extra things to get things cleaner. Is the wash cycle really hot or very warm? When I need a hot wash, I have to run the water at the nearest sink to let the hot water arrive on the scene. Would you be willing to soak the clothes in detergent and water before washing?
It's one thing not to waste money, but seriously -- what a waste of time, water, and products if the clothes come out dirty!
we need details on how you're doing the wash.
what cycle, water temperature, amount of detergent, etc
fwiw, my old danby with a minimal amount of detergent, oxyclean, and white vinegar, heating water to 200 F removes dirt, grease, stains, etc far better than our former top loader (notorious for wrapping stuff around the agitator)

I have an LG front loader and my clothes get cleaner than with my old top loader. I usually use about half the amount of detergent suggested, except when washing extra dirty loads. I do pretreat known spots andsometimes use oxyclean.
Whites can require hot water and a prewash cycle can help with stains (as well as pretreating and/or using oxyclean).
If you have tried everything, I would give myself permission to go find a new washer. Yes, they are a significant expense and yes, eight years does seem young, but they now say appliances are made with a 7-10 year life expectancy. You are there and you haven't been happy. Clothing is expensive too, and repeat washing, water, electricity and laundry products add up too. Your washer should be working to make your life easier, not more difficult.
You have the advantage of a machine that hasn't died and left you with a tub of smelly, soapy water. Take the time to shop and get a good sale price. You've got Columbus Day, Veteran's Day, Black Friday and other big sale dates coming up. Go pick out a present.
I too have one of the older front loaders that was rated "best" by Consumer Reports. My machine is one of the old LG's that still has the drain at the bottom front that must be cleaned out occasionally. A friend of mine has a much newer front loader but a different brand. Neither of us can believe how horrible the laundry looks after it is washed. Mine seems to remove stains fairly well but whites turn out looking worse than when they went in. I noticed this from the very beginning so it's something I lived with. I kept asking myself how this could be. Stains come out but whites look terrible afterward?
One day while looking at my gray whites feeling disgusted and too broke to buy a new washing machine, it dawned on me! Is it possible that the cleaning action works fine in these front loaders - BUT - because they are so stingy with water, maybe they don't properly rinse the clothes after they are cleaned? Are they retaining or reusing too much of the original wash water to use in the rinse cycle? I can't think of any reason other than dirty water that a machine would clean the stains yet leave so much dirt that the whites turn gray. With each wash I watched my new white towels become more gray. They were not work clothes and not subject to stains or dirt. They were once clean and white but now look awful and feel hard and scratchy, like they are a decade old. I should also mention that I have a water softener hooked up to the hot water only. A load washed in hot water and rinsed in warm water doesn't seem to make a difference.
What else could it be? Does anyone out there understand how these machines work? I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible that a recurring skin rash I can't seem to explain is caused by dirt left in my clothes after a dirty water rinse? Help?
Your on the right track. There is much more to cleaning clothes than the actual machine. Proper cleaning begins with properly conditioned water. This is critical if your using a well. You mentioned you have a softner so a chemical analysis should be performed yearly. Once that's complete your softner service personnel should be able to recommend a fix. All wash chemistry begins with the water quality! From that point proper additives and detergents can be selected to obtain adaquate results. Next is proper water temp. Whites demand HOT water at least 120 degrees or greater, and time. Bleach or Sodium per-carbonate is great for whiter whites providing there is not a high iron content in the water supply, otherwise you end up with that grey dingy wash. White vinegar in the rinse is also a great consumer sour, which rinses residue from the fabric. Unfortunately without a water quality test, it's anyone's guess. Properly conditioned water and adjusted wash chemistry will always get great results regardless of the machine.
I did have my water tested when I moved to this house and they said I needed a water softener. My previous home was in the same area and the water is the same. I may not have mentioned that I used the washing machine in question at both addresses with pretty much the same results. There was a slight difference, but I attribute it to the fact that the old house had soft water throughout the entire house where the new place is only hooked up to the incoming hot water. To change it now would require digging up the driveway or foundation and I'm on a very tight budget. If I was twenty years younger I'd do it myself.
The easy answer would be to find a washing machine that actually uses WATER to get the clothes clean, but everyone knows that government imposed water restrictions will only get worse and it would be a temporary fix at best.
I like what you wrote about finding the right combination to get my clothes clean and although I don't really know my neighbors, it might be smart to ask them what they did that works. By now most families use the front loading or water restrictive machines so I can't be the only one with this problem.
As for water testing, can you suggest a company that won't simply try to sell me their products? The house was six years old when I moved in and I never signed up with a service to go with the water softener. Are there legitimate water testing services out there that will give me unbiased results so I can be sure to get what I need and not what they would like to sell me?
Thank you for your thoughtful reply and I agree that I need to get more information before I do anything else. Time to do more research - and I'll post anything I find that seems to work.
Frontloaders use sufficient water to wash and rinse. Where/how do you believe your machine is saving and reusing wash water for rinsing? Do you not hear the water draining after the wash period, during spins, and after each of however many rinses the machine runs?
I've been using a Whirlpool Calypso for 7+ years, which may on some loads take less water than a frontloader on individual fills throughout the cycle. My whites are dazzling due to proper laundry techniques -- hot water (125°F or higher), sufficient dose of good detergent, adding either chlorine bleach or oxygen bleach (not both at the same time), and I've been adding STPP for some years.
Non-softened water rinses better than fully-softened water in terms of killing suds ... but of course it is non-softened water so can cause some mineral residue in the clothes and machine. I'm on a private well and do not have a water softener but still get fine results.
I too would like to know how you wash whites and what detergents/additives you use. I think there might be something there that's giving you poor results, and it should be pretty easy to change. Any chance you are using something like Charlie's Soap or a non-HE specific detergent? The lack (or insufficient amount) of anti-redeposition agents could have something to do with it, based on your description of stains coming out but dinginess remaining.
All good points. Softened water cleans and whitens better than hard water generally speaking. In her specific instance the water may be too soft, and she could be using laundry products that are counter productive. Many of the consumer detergent products HE or not, are formulated to correct and condition the water, add surfacants, ionic dispersion agents, builders, and enzymes. Wash water PH could be another issue and simply not high enough to yield effective cleaning. Using conditioned water WITHOUT the correct wash chemistry and correct detergents could be the problem. Since the water is softened try using a straight SOAP only product. In all instances the poster hasn't commented on use of chlorine bleach or OxyClean or other Sodium Percarbonate product. Both which have excellent whitening capability, with of course bleach offering the most mirobacterial action and raising alkalinity to a PH of around 10. That alone in conjuction with HOT water and soap should provide more than adaquate cleaning results.
You also stated before moving your results were similar. Have you trIed another washing machine (coin op, neighbor, relative) and test your laundry formula in another machine or using a different water supply? Are you using a municipal water supply or is it well?
Thanks everyone. I can't say what detergent or additives I have been using because I've changed so many times. I started out with the usual Tide powder and when that seemed to give me only mediocre results I tried different things. I think the only time I noticed a real difference is when bleach is added but the results weren't great and eventually with constant bleach use, whites tended to yellow. For the last couple of weeks I have developed an itchy rash on my skin in small patches so I'm not able to try anything new or drastic until it passes. I don't really know what's causing it and I tend to be allergic to things so I'm not blaming the water or the soaps yet.
A few times I brought my laundry to wash at a friend's house and there was a difference but less about how clean the whites were... they were a little bit whiter but they were much softer than mine ever are. I used whatever detergent they had at the time but I'm thinking it was the Costco brand liquid detergent. The friend has a water softener and a top loading washer. I used hot water and no fabric softener on the whites. That's really all I can remember. I might try that again after this rash clears up. I'll be more careful to write down what I did. I do plan to drain and clean the water heater again soon. I'll also see about using a washing machine cleaner but I don't know which is best. I'll have to do some research and get back here with results. Thanks again!
In my experience liquids leave clothes much softer than powders, so I prefer liquids for sheets and towels.
Sorry to hear about your skin issues! I haven't personally tried it yet, but thesweethome blog gave good reviews to the Ecover Zero powder - it did well on removing stains and does not have any fragrance that could cause allergies. Maybe that could be an option for you to keep any skin issues from coming up again?

My name is Kia, the designer behind Nostalgia. My shop was born in 2007, however my designs for weddings didn't start until 2010 after I had a request for my Haute Couture bridesmaid dress. After that, more brides wanted more of the same design and even Martha Stewart Weddings for their 2010 Wedding Magazine.
I had always sew clothes by hand when I was younger, but never with an actual sewing machine because my mom was afraid I'd get hurt. By junior high, I was able to learn in home make. I began to love fashion more and more and started collecting cut out photos of wedding dresses into a mini portfolio. I made my first skirt and worn it to school and from there on, I knew designing clothing would be a bright future ahead for me.
