Hi everybody,
We're building a pretty simple two story 2400 sq ft home and I'm trying to decide about transoms. We have been looking for ways to cut costs but since transoms would only save about $750, that's not a worthwhile reason to cut them. I like them but maybe they're kind of silly in a fairly plain and simple house.
Anyways here's a couple of pictures if that helps.
The other picture is just a rough idea from our builder.
I would probably do the taller windows.
It also isn't necessary to line up the tops of the doors with the windows by using transoms on the doors. On a house with traditional proportions, the windows are usually set higher than the doors. I know it is popular to line it all up right now, but sometimes that can look a bit static.
Thanks for the responses.
Palimpset - wow, I thought that was a hard and fast rule for doors and wondows to line up. So, no transom over the patio doors either?
Hollysprings - would it matter to you if the transoms were slightly taller? I think the designer drew in 12" transoms but the builder likes 15" transoms. I also prefer divided transoms over didvided doors or windows.
Mmmm, looks like maybe I should forget about transoms : (
The transom over the patio door will look particularly skinny, so, no, imo.
Take a good look at traditional houses around you (not new builds), and you will see that the tops of doors and windows generally do Not line up.
The taller window in your style of house just looks cleaner. Very few older-style houses used transoms over windows: there were over-window fanlights and decorative cut or stained glass panels in the Victorian-Edwardian period; but the transom was an interior over-door device to allow light into interior hallways and ventilation between rooms when the doors were closed.
It became adapted as an operable clerestory window in more modern housing.
I think the tall window is less clutter.
I don't think I would make the doors taller with a 9' ceiling.
I like transoms just fine. Just not on every window and not on homes where it looks inappropriate. If you wanted to do a transom over the entry door along with sidelights, that would be an appropriate detail and then just do the taller windows. But, transoms over all of the lower windows is too busy, especially with your more simple home. If you like them, use them in some of the interior detailing where they are more appropriate, as Pal stated.
Thank you to everybody who responded! I have decided....transoms it is. My DH weighed in and since he likes them too that tipped the scales in favour of transoms.
I do see the point of it looking busy and maybe a bit fancy or out of place on my simple house. I would be cool with taller windows but I wasn't super happy with the patio doors. Since to me the whole point of 9' ceilings is for extra light. The transoms over the patio doors will be 16 7/8" so hopefully it won't look too silly.
Thanks again for helping me with this decision - one down, thousands to go.
Inappropriate transoms can look like your Aunt Jane in a pair of hiphuggers and a thong. Even if she's a fit 50, it's just wrong and silly looking, even if it's the hot thing nowadays.
Transoms over a door can be an appropriate look, but it's the rare home that using them over windows looks at all correct. Your home is one that it looks especially wrong to have transoms over the windows. Do the door if you must (with sidelights to keep it proportionate), but do the taller windows. It's the same amount of light, but a MUCH better look. It's Jane switching from the hiphuggers to jeans that sit at the waist. It's still denim, and fashionable, but it now looks appropriate for a 50 year old woman.
Hmm. I can reach the upper sash and my windows go up past nine feet closet to my ten foot ceilings. (actually I could reach the upper sash on my 11-1/2 foot windows in the 14 foot ceilinged place...and I am short) --The equal divisions in a traditional sash window tend to put at least the lower dividing rail of the upper sash within reach-- and since you pull it down and push it up the dynamics of it tend you work in your favor.
GreemDesigns - lol, really! Well, at least I chuckled out loud - Aunt Jane in hiphuggers and a thong! Mmm, so my house is Aunt Jane? Really, though does anybody look good in a thong and hiphuggers?
Oh well, it's too late. The builder was just waiting for me to decide and I told him I want them. I'm sure it's just the first of many style mistakes I'll make. I'm also sure simple me will like them although I think Aunt Jane in hiphuggers and a thong is indelibly burned into my brain.
aidan_m - thanks for giving me the possibility of using the function over form excuse but the windows are single hung on the first floor and although I am average height (5'6"), I kind of have monkey arms so if it's not a problem for most people it wouldn't be a problem for me.

Beverly Hills Hotel Enlists 'Master of Disaster' Mark Fabiani as Consultant
Facing a boycott due to the Sultan of Brunei's ownership, the Beverly Hills Hotel has enlisted a famed public relations strategist to help manage the growing protests.
Mark Fabiani, formerly a special counsel to President Bill Clinton, was hired as a consultant, a hotel spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. In an email to THR, the consultant stated that his "individual firm, Mark Fabiani LLC, has been retained for the last several days."
Fabiani has advised the San Diego Chargers since 2002 and consulted for Lance Armstrong in 2010 during his doping scandal.
STORY: Who in Hollywood Will Boycott the Beverly Hills Hotel?
The New York Times first reported that Fabiani had been hired.
Fabiani operates a strategic communications firm, Fabiani & Lehane, with business partner Chris Lehane.
The duo authored a book along with writer-director Bill Guttentag entitled Masters of Disaster: The Ten Commandments of Damage Control, which was named after a description of the team that purportedly originated in Newsweek magazine.
The Beverly Hills Hotel is owned by the Brunei Investment Agency, which is controlled by the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah. On May 1, a new Sharia law penal code in the Southeast Asian nation was instituted that includes a policy that levies harsh penalties -- including plans for death by stoning -- for gays and adulterers.
The industry response to the newly installed code has been swift. The Motion Picture Television Fund's Night Before Oscars Party was pulled from the Beverly Hills Hotel, as well as The Hollywood Reporter's annual Women In Entertainment breakfast.
Ellen DeGeneres, Richard Branson, Sharon Osbourne and Jay Leno have been outspoken in promoting the boycott.

A teenage Indian girl was admitted to a hospital after her former boyfriend forced her to drink acid. The crime occurred in the coastal city of Mumbai. After the acid attack, he attempted to push her into the sea.

Keywords: acid, india, attack, acid survivor's trust international
MUMBAI, INDIA (Catholic Online) - An Indian teenager appears to have survived an especially cruel acid attack, perpetrated by a jilted ex-boyfriend. The 18-year-old victim was brutally attacked by her 21-year-old ex-boyfriend. She became a target after her family did not approve of his marriage proposal.
The angry young man had been parted from her for a few months previously before he persuaded her to meet him on the beach in the coastal city of Mumbai on Saturday. The assignation turned to violence when he allegedly forced her to drink acid, pouring some of it down her throat. He then attempted to push her into the sea.
The girl screamed and another person who was nearby came to her immediate rescue, apprehending the young man who was promptly handed over to police.
The girl suffered severe acid burns to her face, lips and tongue.
There are perhaps thousands of acid attacks each year in Southeast Asia with the London-based charity, Acid Survivors Trust International saying the majority of victims are women and children. There are at least 1,500 reported attacks each year and perhaps thousands more that go unreported out of shame.
Acid, which is used in processing cotton and rubber, is readily available in many parts of the world. Other acids can be used. Acid attacks have occurred on every continent. They are typically the result of jealously as former love interests attempt to scar their victims for life as a means of destroying them financially and socially.
About 90 percent of the victims are female. In countries without comprehensive healthcare or social services, many victims are unable to marry and unable to work. They are sentenced to a life of extreme poverty in addition to their handicap and disfigurement. For many victims who cannot come to terms with the damage, it is close to a living form of death. Social rejection of victims is common.
To combat the epidemic, many countries have passed acid-specific laws and punish the crimes aggressively. However, as long as a culture of patriarchy and shame exists, and powerful acids such as nitric or sulphuric acids remain easily obtainable, the attacks are likely to continue.

On March 19th, we released the 2015 Alternative Federal Budget (AFB) and also marked the publication's 20th anniversary. Like every year, the AFB includes practical measures to improve Canadian's lives. For the past two years, we've been running our AFB through a sophisticated income inequality simulation to see how our budget would affect poverty and inequality in Canada. This analysis allows us to see who benefits and who doesn't from various social programs and tax/transfer changes.

C-51 hearings end with suggestion government erred in drafting bill
March 27th, 2015 · Stuart Trew · Aboriginal Issues, Criminal Justice, Democracy, Human Rights, Immigration, International Relations, Military, Peace & Conflict
Like university students cramming for an exam, last night the parliamentary public security committee (SECU) finished the last of nine hearings (over only six days) into the government's anti-terrorism bill (C-51). It's now up to the committee to perform a clause-by-clause review of the omnibus legislation and draft recommendations to the House, including possible amendments, before third reading, which is expected to happen quickly. The NDP and the Liberals have announced the amendments they will be seeking.

RCMP stop another suspected terrorist… without C-51
March 25th, 2015 · Stuart Trew · Aboriginal Issues, Criminal Justice, Democracy, Human Rights, Immigration, International Relations, Military, Peace & Conflict
The Charlottetown Guardian reports today the RCMP has arrested a Prince Edward Island man they suspect might carry out a terrorist offence. It's somewhat awkward for the government: it could be a good news story (depending on what the case looks like), but it could also undermine the Conservative's position that Canada's security and spy agencies need more power to keep this country safe from terrorism. Several witnesses have suggested Bill C-51, which is being rushed through the public safety and national security committee this week, could actually interfere with RCMP and local police efforts to disrupt potential terrorist attacks.

As support for C-51 slides, Conservative MP floats oversight fix
March 24th, 2015 · Stuart Trew · Criminal Justice, Democracy, Human Rights, Immigration, International Relations, Military, Peace & Conflict
The government has stacked the public safety committee's schedule this week, hoping to get through all remaining witnesses and approve Bill C-51 before Easter. Meetings resumed last night (see CBC's good summary here) and continue today with morning and evening sessions.
As the public mood shifts against the legislation (support halved between March and February), with the Canadian Bar Association putting out the latest legal challenge (C-51 potentially puts "the entire Charter into jeopardy, undermines the rule of law, and goes against the fundamental role of judges as the protectors of Canada's constitutional rights"), and protests, both traditional (see image above from a March 14 rally in Ottawa) and clothing optional, increasing, the government appears to be spitballing on a desirable endgame, with Michael Chong floating a potential compromise on oversight that will likely appeal to the Liberals.

The high cost of eliminating the deficit
March 23rd, 2015 · Kate McInturff · Alternative Federal Budget, Economy & Economic Indicators, Federal Budget, Poverty and Income Inequality
Canada's federal government ran a deficit for nearly thirty years – from the late 1960s to the late 1990s. Successive Conservative and Liberal governments delivered programs, implemented economic and fiscal policies, and ran the country, without balancing the budget. The sky did not fall. The fabric of Canadian society did not unravel. Nobody fell off a fiscal cliff.
Where did the obsessive concern with a balanced federal budget come from and how did it gain such currency in the popular imagination?

This year is the 20th anniversary of the Alternative Federal Budget. Our first was in 1995. Over the years, we've proposed policies that have been successfully implemented, like the creation of a Parliamentary Budget Officer. Other ideas, like affordable childcare, we continue to advocate for.

The imaginary deficit
March 18th, 2015 · IRIS · Economy & Economic Indicators, Quebec
The last elections have ushered in a fresh input of creativity and imagination in Quebec's political life. Not content with exaggerating the budget deficit by cooking the books, Couillard's government invented a so-called "structural deficit" between the state's expenditures and revenues.
The logic is quite simple: spending growth is greater than revenue growth. The problem is that that's just not true. For instance, between 2008 and 2012, the government of Quebec's revenues grew 15.6% whereas its basic running costs (healthcare, education, social services, interests, etc.) grew 15.1%.

Road to Ruin: Use of costly highways consultants has skyrocketed.
March 17th, 2015 · CCPA-SK · Saskatchewan
If you love the feeling of cruising down a brand-new stretch of highway, the last few years have been full of good news for you.
And if you're in the business of designing and overseeing the construction work on those highways, well, these are banner years indeed.
If you're a taxpayer on the hook to pay for that roadwork, though, the picture isn't quite as pretty.
While the drop in oil prices is sure to take its toll, roadbuilding in Saskatchewan has been booming lately. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) had record high budgets in 2009 and 2010, and every budget since has been larger than 2009's record-breaker.

Stacking the Deck: Consultation or Manipulation?
March 13th, 2015 · Simon Enoch · Saskatchewan
To paraphrase Leader-Post columnist Murray Mandryk, the government's Liquor Retailing consultation process is looking more and more like manipulation and less and less like consultation. University of Regina Business Administration professor Dr. Sean Tucker recently released an open letter he sent to Minister Don McMorris regarding the quality of the public liquor retailing survey. Dr. Tucker raises serious concerns about the design of those survey questions and argues that any results should be "interpreted with caution given the limitations of the survey." Dr. Tucker's central complaint with the survey is that the government represents public liquor stores as a drain on the public purse rather than the revenue-generating assets that they actually are. The survey questions at issue frame investment in public liquor stores as a zero-sum game, as if dollars invested in building stores are dollars that will not be invested in health care, roads, schools, etc. This is highly misleading, as no taxpayer funds are required to sustain the SLGA's liquor operations – they are entirely self-sufficient through their own revenues. Moreover, given the massive revenue return that the SLGA provides to the government ($141.3 million from retail stores alone in 2014 according to Dr. Tucker) to pay for such things as schools, hospitals and roads, to represent public stores as a liability rather than a highly lucrative public investment is government spin designed to confuse rather than inform.

When the facts on C-51 are against you, insult the witnesses
March 12th, 2015 · Stuart Trew · Aboriginal Issues, Criminal Justice, Democracy, Human Rights, International Relations, Military, Peace & Conflict, Uncategorized
Tonight's hearing into Bill C-51, omnibus anti-terrorism legislation, began as this morning's, with witnesses expressing their opposition to all or parts of it. It ended with Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy accusing one presenter–yes, the group representing Muslims–of supporting terrorism. But hey, where logic fails, try deflection. The news tomorrow (or today, depending when on you're reading this) is guaranteed to be about Ablonczy's comments and not, or much less so, the expert testimony of Kent Roach, Craig Forcese, Alex Neve (Amnesty International), Ihsaan Gardee (NCCM) and others who, to put it bluntly, tore C-51 a new one today.

I want to replace 10 showerheads with low flows -recommendations?
I would like to begin replacing the showerheads in my ten tenant's apartments with low flows.
I have hesitated to do this because I have been concerned that these low flow heads would not give as satisying a shower as the old one and so the tenant would simply replace it. That's why I would like one with good pressure and which doesn't reduce temperature as it leaves the head. Also how low can I go with the gpm without the tenants reacting?
So I think the issues are good pressure, aerated vs. non-aerated, gpm, and price (of course I want inexpensive).
There's an online review of the various ones somewhere. The good ones are around $50 as I recall. Main thing is to avoid the budget-priced Delta from the big box stores since it's quite painful (stings) to use. They won't tolerate it.
Also, avoid the ones that are so-called water-saving, but still have regular flow and save the water only by having the user shut them off "mid-shower" while they shampoo, etc. That'll never happen.
Installing flow restrictors are another way to go.
These seem worthy of some further investigation.
Here is a link that might be useful: Green shower heads
Go to the contractor service desk at your local home depot. They have a solid brass water saver shower head that is $5.99 for a pack of two.
The first time I saw these shower heads was at a large motel near here. I asked their chief of maintenance and he told me they had installed 340 of them and have had no complaints. In fact, the guests seem to like them so much that they actually sell the shower heads in their gift shop for $10.
I have one on my personal shower and the best way I can describe the pressure is imagine you are standing under a pressure washer.
Here is a picture of the shower head.
You can get them at Home Depot through their commercial Maintenance Catalog at the contractor service desk and sometimes you can find them on the rack in ACE hardwares.
Unfortunately the item pictured might be the type that Homebound indicates causes painful stings. Kids are more sensitive. The whole thing reminds me of an incident that occurred at a family gathering a few years ago. One of the kids, about 10, who usually showers was headed for the bathtub. When asked why, he responded that he did not feel like being "power washed". We all had a good laugh.
Personally, I like them.
Not quite. The stinging one is the Delta Faucet 75155, 1.6 GPM Water-Amplifying Showerhead. Here's a link.
Here is a link that might be useful: Delta 75155
Check out the Delta 54752 - 1.5 gpm. Around $28 dollars. Looks nice.
Look for something with the EPA water sense logo, at least there will be some standard imposed.

Photos: GOP Debate from Simi Valley, Calif., on Sept. 7, 2011
Posted by mleyba on 2011-09-07 20:59:45 tags: Photo
SIMI VALLEY, Calif.—Quick to tangle, Republican presidential rivals Rick Perry and Mitt Romney sparred vigorously over job creation and Social Security Wednesday night in a feisty campaign debate that marked a contentious new turn in the race to pick a 2012 challenger to President Barack Obama. Far more than in earlier GOP debates this summer, the candidates mixed it up in their first faceoff since Perry entered the race and almost instantly overtook Romney as front-runner in opinion polls. Those two—as well as other contenders on stage—sniped at one another, contradicted allegations and interrupted media questioners to demand opportunities to take each other on. The debate was the first of three in as many weeks, at a time when the economy is struggling, unemployment is seemingly stuck at 9.1 percent and Obama's popularity is sinking in the polls—all events that could make the GOP nomination worth more than it appeared only a few months ago.

A good friend, and photog, is planning on taking our birth pictures (hospital maybe at home before we go if time allows). I was thinking it would be helpful to give her some examples of pictures that I like, as far as style and comfort level goes. Any good ones off the top of your head? TIA super mamas!

Last night was the first opportunity I had to play with fire using my camera. So much fun! I practiced with both slow and fast shutter speeds but was most captivated by the waves and swirls of the instant capture. I tweaked my wb to have a magenta/red cast to increase the contrast in addition to making my iso super low so it was just the flames and the coals that could be seen with just the outlines of the logs. I'd hazard to say that there's a juxtaposition of the fire in the beauty and softness of the flames all while exuding incredible strength and destruction.
Beautiful! I can almost feel its warmth!
Yes it is, that's why a moth is drawn to the flame. Very nicely done and spot-on for the theme.
Great flame capture - I can never manage these. Well done!
great shot, look at the flames too long and it feels like they are moving...
Nice capture. 1/640 @ ISO 80? Wow, I need to get me a PowerShot, that's impressive.
You can almost feel the warmth, nice one.
Best of week #1

Anubis, the God of Dead Bitcoin Miners
With the recent resurgence of Bitcoin and the subsequent vitality of other cryptocurrencies (Litecoin, for instance), I've been receiving lots of e-mail messages asking how to mine. I've discussed cryptocurrencies in LJ quite a bit during the past few years. Recently, a friend introduced me to Anubis, so I want to mention it briefly here.
Whether you're mining for Bitcoins with ASIC hardware or Litecoins with high-end graphics cards, chances are you're using the cgminer program to do your mining. Although cgminer provides a nice console-based screen for monitoring your miner, there's no easy way to see how all your miners are doing at once. Enter: Anubis.
Anubis is a Web-based program that interacts over the network to all your miners. It then combines the data it collected into a simple monitoring screen so you can check temperature, errors, efficiencies and even change configurations on the fly. If you're running more than one instance of cgminer in your mining farm, you likely will benefit from Anubis. Check it out at https://github.com/pshep/ANUBIS.
Figure 1. Anubis gives a nice overview of all the problems with my mining farm.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
This will be one of those topics
10 years in the future when someone is browing past articles that will really seem dated.
I am one of those who believe that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme but a fairly decentralised ponzi scheme, so it should go on for maybe a year or two before it collapses. (c'mon, mysterious founder is friends with Magic The Gathering Online Exchange which they then use to sell and buy the currency they made for real currency while claiming Satoshi Namkomura is real)
However I am always an optimist when it comes to technology and open source. I believe the trend to "print your own money" via sepcialized hardware will eventually lead to massive developments in cryptography.
The God of Dead Bitcoin Miners
Over the weekend, I caught up with NoFiatCoin (XNF) founder and CEO, Robert Reyes (check out the interview here). The 33 year old speaks passionately about the future of not only his own gold-backed currency, but that of the ripple protocol as well.
"Most people that hold bitcoins hate ripple," he says. "They don't give it the time of day. Ripple is much more promising than the bitcoin protocol. Ripple is the future."
Reyes's company currently employs 14 people, all of whom he describes as hardcore ripplers. When he launched NoFiatCoin in January, he specifically set out to launch it on a ripple exchange.

I've been skimming these forums for a bit now and though I can't directly credit those that inspired this project I'd like to just thank the general community for being both helpful and supportive.
My dad, myself, and a friend of the family built this from scratch last week. The mini-fridge used is the Frigidaire (4.4 cu ft) found at lowes. The stainless top still needs a bit of finger-print removal =PClick images for larger view.
Front View with the 2 piece drip tray
2 kegs fit - 1s in the house carbing. Sadly only have water in the blue one
Up close view of rear panel.
Below is the rear access panel if I ever need to change lines etc...
Panel all closed up =)
Full frontal view
For my new taps I was thinking about using hockey pucks on some sort of extension. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe drill out the puck and put in a threaded insert? Make a polished stainless shaft and screw the puck on? If I can find a way to do it without harming the puck I'll use my auto'd malkin puck =) (makes a nice conversation piece)
Looks great, I finally got a fridge and have to get taps now and some longer hoses.
Looks great mate
the stainless is mighty pretty!
now That should be a kit...beautiful work there..now get some beer in there

by Alexandre Dumas pÃ..re
Publisher:Wordsworth Editions Ltd
Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion

Putting letters together to make words
Still trying to figure out things and this time it's making words. I have gotten monograms down to a science with my 4X4 pes format on PE-150. When I use font designs that I have purchased, I can just make my center letter and then do my other two letters one at a time on either side without having to change my positioning of my item to embroider. But what I cannot figure out is how to write words. I understand how to do it with the pre-programed fonts in my machine, and I have tried reading about it online, but somehow I'm missing something...either in my brain, my machine, or my purchased design!! When I load the fonts into my machine from my Ultimate box card, they can only be used one at a time in my machine. In other words, I can't program the entire word to sew out, even if it is in the 4x4 area size. Each letter has to be reset and a postion chosen and when I line them up by last ending stitch of last letter, there is overlapping. Anyone have suggestions or know what I may be doing wrong. Would love to think of embroidering poetry someday, but for now I would be happy with just a name! Thanks in advance.
What you are needing is editing software to do what you want to do. I have Edit & Stitch by Amazing Designs, which works great for me. I am sure there are many others that work well, but this is the only software that I am familiar with. You bring each letter into your design in the software and position where you want it, save the design on your computer and then you can take the whole designed name into your Ultimate Box and then on to your machine. I do believe there is a trial version of this software that you can try out for a month. It can be found at www.amazingdesigns.com. When you get to the page, click on embroidery software on the left hand side. I think Edit & Stitch 2.0 is the newest version.
If you basically want to do only personalization, then maybe Personalize & Stitch would be a better option. However, if you want to do different things with designs (the website will explain the differences) then I think maybe Edit & Stitch would be the one. Good Luck!

The Kernel Configuration and Build Process
The process of building a kernel has two parts: configuring the kernel options and building the source with those options. In versions before the 2.5 kernel, configuration was driven by a Config.in file within every subdirectory and a main help file, Documentation/Configure.help. The language used to describe the build process was based loosely on a shell-style language that would control which configuration options were presented to the user, depending on which options were currently presented.
This worked reasonably well, but over time the variety of different options in the kernel stretched the language beyond what it could reasonably handle. In the 2.5.45 kernel release, Roman Zippel's rewrite of the configuration language and configuration programs was placed in the main kernel tree. The new configuration language is much more flexible and powerful. It also unifies the help text with the configuration logic, making it easier to apply patches for individual drivers, without having to worry about conflicts within a single Configuration.help file.
Also during the 2.5 series, Kai Germaschewski and the other kbuild developers slowly reworked makefile logic within the kernel, making it easier to build the kernel based on the selected options. This article describes the format of the makefile and configuration files in the 2.5 kernel and shows how to add a new driver to the build process.
To configure different kernel options, a user runs either a text-mode or a graphical kernel configurator. The text-mode configurator can be run with make config and prompts the user to select configuration options in order (Figure 1). The ncurses text version is more popular and is run with the make menuconfig option (Figure 2). The graphical configurator is run with make xconfig and uses Qt as the widget set (Figure 3).
When the kernel configurator is run, it reads the main kernel configuration file, located in arch/i386/Kconfig for the i386 platform. Other architectures have the main configuration files located in their main directories. This main configuration file then includes other configuration files from the different subdirectories in the kernel directory tree. Those configuration files also can include other configuration files as needed. For example, the arch/i386/Kconfig file contains the line:
source "sound/Kconfig"
which will read information from that file. This sound/Kconfig file then includes a lot of other files:
source "sound/core/Kconfig" source "sound/drivers/Kconfig" source "sound/isa/Kconfig" source "sound/pci/Kconfig" source "sound/ppc/Kconfig" source "sound/arm/Kconfig" source "sound/usb/Kconfig"The sound/usb/Kconfig file describes all of the ALSA USB driver options, like this:
# ALSA USB drivers menu "ALSA USB devices" depends on SND!=n && USB!=n config SND_USB_AUDIO tristate "USB Audio/MIDI driver" depends on SND && USB help Say 'Y' or 'M' to include support for USB audio and USB MIDI devices. endmenuThe # character can be used to comment Kconfig files. Anything written after it on the same line is not read by the configurator, but it is useful for documenting what the file is for and what it should do.
The menu and endmenu commands tell the configurator to declare a new menu level or new screen in some of the configuration programs. On the menu line, the name of the menu should be specified within " characters. For this file, the menu is called "ALSA USB devices".
Menus and configuration options can be controlled to display or not. In this example, the USB option menu is only displayed if the CONFIG_SND and CONFIG_USB options are selected, which is controlled by the line depends on SND!=n && USB!=n. To help decrease the amount of typing involved, all configuration options automatically start with CONFIG, which is not used within the configuration language. The valid states for a configuration option are:
y—the option is enabled.
n—the option is not enabled.
m—the option is set to be built as a module.
If both the CONFIG_SND and CONFIG_USB options are not set to n (meaning they are set either to be built in to the kernel or to build as a module), the CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO option is presented to the user. This option can be set to one of the three values, and it is described as a "tristate" value. The text that should be shown to the user is "USB Audio/MIDI driver":
tristate "USB Audio/MIDI driver"
The valid values for describing a configuration variable are:
bool—the variable can be set only to y or n.
tristate—the variable can be set to y, n or m.
int—the variable can be set to any numeric value.
This configuration option is controlled by a depends logic line, which follows the same logic as a menu option. The CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO option depends on both the CONFIG_SND and CONFIG_USB options, meaning that if one of these options is set to a module, then the CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO option also should be set to a module. If both of the controlling options are not enabled (meaning both are set to n), this option will not be displayed. If both of these options are set to y, this option can be selected as n, y or m. All of this is defined with the simple line:
depends on SND && USB
Within the kernel code, the configuration variable will be seen (the CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO in the above example), so the code can test for it or any other kernel configuration option's existence. However, using #ifdef within a .c file to test for different configuration options is against the kernel-style programming guidelines, which I covered in my article "Proper Linux Kernel Coding Style" [LJ, July 2002, www.linuxjournal.com/article/5780]. Instead, limit the use of #ifdef to .h files, keeping the .c files cleaner and easier to read.
Previously, the help text for a configuration option was placed in one big Configuration.help file. Now the help text is placed right after the depends line within the Kconfig file. It begins with a line containing either help or ---help---, followed by a number of lines of help text that are indented two spaces from the help line.

"Jay Fisher is the best modern knife maker around, pursuing an ancient tradition but beautifully perfecting the craft by selecting the finest man-made and natural materials. Jay Fisher makes every type of edged steel weapon, fitting the blade to it's purpose. The world's elite clandestine rescue and tactical squads seek his weapons. Their lives depend on Jay Fisher Custom Knives- the best quality knives in the world."
--Bernardo M. Perez
Deputy Assistant Director - Ret.
FBI Laboratory
Washington, D.C.
Named "The Best Living Knife Maker" in the 2007 Best of the West Sourcebook by True West Publications
"Many fine knifemakers exist in the world. Some Excel at making weapons, others at creating art. At his Enchanted Spirits Studio in Clovis, New Mexico, Jay Fisher does both. In the blade business since 1988, Fisher makes knives, many featuring gemstone handles, for collectors, museums and people who really know how to use 'em (101st Airborne, Special Forces, USAF Pararescue)."
--from the 2007 Best of the West magazine
The worldwide best-selling author Tom Clancy says:
"You know, I never believed in decorous weapons until I met Jay Fisher. Where does one draw the line between a fighting knife and a work of art?
Jay Fisher is a throwback to the age when craftsmen were *all* artists, not mere producers of products, when every item that went out the door had a story and a purpose all its own, and when you went to a craftsman not because of what you wanted but because of who he was.
Jay is a guy who knows how to use the modern to serve the past. We really do make better steel today than we did a hundred years ago - the idea of cutting an ancient Samurai sword in two with a modern American knife does have its attractions - and the blend of old and new in his work is totally seamless. A knight Templar would not have hesitated a moment to take Fisher's steel on his Holy Quest. In fact, he would have thought the technological edge a gift from an especially attentive God.
I suppose that says it all. Jay Fisher is one of a kind, a man who knows the riddle of steel, and that the difference between a good weapon and a bad one is the combination of how you make it and to whom you give it."

pendants in bathroom above medicine cabinet
My decorator suggested that we put mini pendants above the 30 by 30 inch triview recessed medicine cabinet.
I am concerned about the glare from the light and also if there would be enough light. Right now we have 2 high hats in a soffit and this is great. She suggested we get rid of the soffit and put a pendant in that space. It would look similar to this picture .
Will there be enough light? Some of the pendants use Led lighting. Does that glare less than halogen? is the led light cold and too white?
Really like the idea and the decorator is usually right on target but when I go to the lighting store they all try to talk me out of it saying that pendant are usually at eye level not higher up.
My ceiling is 8 ft high.
WIth an 8' ceiling, I'd say no. A pendant won't provide any more or less light than a standard above the mirror sconce. However, with only 8', there just isn't enough room for any dangle with the mirror placed properly. Even a small pendant won't drop down but maybe 6"-8" and that's not enough drama for the hassle of doing it.
If your current soffit lighting is great, I don't see any reason to change to pendants, as I doubt the light quality would change and the look won't be that striking because of the short drop.
To improve the quality of lighting at a mirror you would be better off with side-lighting. Overhead light is supposed to be less flattering and casts shadows that make it harder to apply makeup, etc.
