Recently, my family and I moved into a new home. We had lived in our previous home for more than seven years (loving every minute in our old house). But we were starting to get just a little cramped as our family had grown from just the two of us to now the four of us. While packing and moving is no fun at all, I was looking forward to the new house because I had some big plans for our lighting. I mean, hey, I do work for a lighting company.
Over the next couple of blog posts, I am going to share the lighting projects that I have tackled in our new home (including pics). Some projects I did and others I had professional electricians perform. My first new home project was adding under cabinet lights. I had under cabinet lighting installed in our previous home and there was just no way I was not going to have my under cabinet lighting. I literally cannot live without them. We have a favorite saying in our household when we talk about something we want or like. We say, "It's a quality of life issue." Well, under cabinet lighting is a "quality of life issue for me."
Like our previous home, we built our new house. Thus, we were able to ensure that all of the necessary wiring for future lighting was installed during the building process. Clearly, this is one of the great benefits of building one's own home. However, I am always amazed at what electricians can do even after a house is built. So, if you are reading this post and saying, "Oh well, our house is already built," don't let that stop you from adding great under cabinet lighting to your kitchen, or tackling any other home lighting project. Just call a good electrician; no doubt they can help you out.
When I was thinking about just what kind of under cabinet lights to install I had one major requirement – dimmability. Being able to dim my lighting is another one of those "quality of life issues." First, I want the flexibility that dimmers provide to vary the amount of light based upon the mood I may want for the room or to match the task being performed. Secondly, dimming the lights conserves energy and saves me money.
Since dimming was important to me, I was not going to use fluorescent under cabinet lighting. However, fluorescent is not a bad under cabinet lighting choice. It just wasn't for me. Fluorescent under cabinet lights are very energy efficient fixtures in providing a given amount of light and very cool to the touch. Being cool is a great benefit. Depending upon what is stored in the cabinets and what the cabinets are made of, having the fixture run cool may be a very important feature. Finally, today's fluorescent technology is not the technology of yesterday. Today's fluorescent under cabinet lights turn on immediately with no flickering.
I decided to use our Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights in a brushed nickel finish. I am a huge fan of xenon under cabinet lighting. While the xenon fixtures still get hot under the cabinet, they do not get nearly as hot as halogen. Plus, when I heard that we were going to start selling these thin, low profile under cabinet fixtures I was immediately "sold." I cannot say enough good things about these new fixtures. They provide a fantastic, warm light, they are dimmable, replacing the xenon bulbs are super easy because the glass diffuser door has a magnetic closure, and you can easily link the fixtures together. Plus, they are really low profile. You really need to bend down and look under the cabinet to see the fixture. I really love these fixtures.
Prior to ordering my new under cabinet fixtures I measured the cavity dimensions underneath my cabinets. My cavity dimensions meant that I needed to install only one fixture under each cabinet, but your cavity dimensions might require you to link two or more fixtures together, which is very easy since these lights are linkable. In fact, I have a friend who has installed these fixtures in his kitchen. Underneath his large cabinets he has linked two of these fixtures together to maximize the amount and continuity of his task lighting.
Once I received the under cabinet lights I handed them off to our electrician and before I knew it they were installed and looking great! The only remaining step was installing a dimmer to control my new lights. Before purchasing my dimmer I needed to figure out how much wattage the dimmer needed to control. My new under cabinet lights use a total of 520 watts of electricity. So, I was considering choosing a 600-watt dimmer. However, since my dimmer switch was going to be installed in a double gang wall box right next to an electrical outlet, I needed to "de-rate" the dimmer. A dimmer's wattage rating is given for a single gang wall box. When you install a dimmer in a multiple gang wall box you must remove heat fins and this reduces the wattage rating of the dimmer switch.
So, I chose a Maestro 1000-watt line voltage dimmer from Lutron. I really like the look of the Maestro dimmers and the clean look of the Claro faceplates that are used in conjunction with the Maestro dimmer. This also meant I needed to replace the standard electrical outlet with an electrical outlet from Lutron that can be used with the Claro faceplate. Installing the dimmer switch and the new electrical outlet took me only 15 minutes. The hardest part of the install was figuring out what breaker to turn off at my electrical box.
Below are pictures of my new under cabinet lighting, dimmer, and electrical outlet. My next new home project blog post will be about my new pantry lighting using our Microfluorescent T4 fixtures around an interior doorframe.

Since the fixture you used has a hi/low switch, would that have been sufficient or do you really need a dimmer switch?
Also, can the connector on the side of the light be removed (if you are not going to connect two lights) to reduce the total width of the light? For example, I ordered a 10″ light, but the full width with the connector is 10-1/4″.
I chose a dimmer switch because it controls all of my fixtures (the hi/low switch only controls each fixture individually) and the dimmer allows complete control over my light output (the hi/low switch has one dimming option). This is a purely a personal choice. You definitely do not need a dimmer.
I do not think that you can remove the connector on the side of the light. We will check into that for you. If you can, then I will post a comment on this blog post.
Was there any particular reason you had the lights mounted to the rear of the cabinet or simply because that's where you prefered the light? Just curious, as I am currently trying to decide which lights to go with and where to mount.
The under cabinet lights were installed at the rear of the cabinets because I have recessed cans installed directly over my counter top. Thus, I did not need to have my under cabinet lights installed at the front since I already had very good lighting from the cans. I needed the task light under my cabinets near the back.

I like it and have followed your plan!
I'm in the midst of what was supposed to be a little kitchen facelift that has mushroomed uncontrollably… And now we're stalled on the undercabinet lighting, totally confused because we hear and read conflicting things from different sources. I'm pretty sure we want xenon for warm white light and less heat than halogen (no fluorescent or LED for me), but why did you choose line voltage over low voltage? Like you, all of my wiring is in place and I just need to decide what type of lights and order them already. I also want to be able to control all of the undercabinet lights in my kitchen with one dimmer light switch instead of running around flicking switches on each unit. I've seen a system at a local lighting store that is low voltage xenon with little lightbulbs spaced every 6″ along a wire, and you can cut the wire to the size you need and add more or take away some bulbs in the future. I like the idea that each countertop would be bathed in evenly distributed light from one end to the other, but my husband wants to do line voltage because he says the transformers are nothing but trouble and they get too hot and blow out, pain in the butt, etc. But all of the line voltage undercabinet lights I've seen just come in standard lengths and on some cabinets I get lucky and it's close, but on others I'd have a strip of light with dark spots on the sides. Do you guys sell the custom size low voltage xenon lights, if so, what are the pros and cons, and if not, why not? Thanks for posting your before and after photos, by the way — I went through six kitchen and bath magazines today and although they credit a garbage disposal that you can't even see in the picture, not a single one of them tells you what type of undercabinet lighting was used in any of the kitchens!
Thanks for the comments and question Rebecca. I can understand how a little remodel can mushroom. I chose line voltage under cabinet lighting because the sizes of each fixture worked very well in my kitchen. I also like having evenly distributed light and the line voltage sizes were perfect for my situation. Thus, since line voltage worked for me I did not really consider the low voltage options. To be honest, I also did not want to deal with the transformers if I did not have to. However, that does not mean that I would not have done low voltage if I felt like I needed a different solution.
The low voltage xenon lights that you are talking about sound like our Xenon Low Voltage Light Strip. So, yes, we offer the custom-sized low voltage xenon lights. Our light strip have 3 or 4 light bulbs per 12 inches of strip. The most popular use of this product for under cabinet lighting would be to use the Xenon Festoon Lamps. However, you could also use MR11 halogen light bulbs with this system. The xenon light strip would require either a magnetic or electronic transformer installed close to your installation and the system can be controlled by one dimmer switch.
To be honest, I think the pros and cons are unique to each person and each person's situation. For your situation, based upon your comments, I guess I would say that the pros are that you will be able to "bathe" your countertop in evenly distributed light like you want; you can control it by one dimmer switch; you can get the exact amount of lighting you want; you can get a very custom lighting solution.
The cons…well again these are really unique to your wants, but I guess the fact that there is a transformer. However, I would not let the transformer stop you from getting the lighting solution you want in the end. I think it is better to be happy with your overall installation, then to choose lighting that you may not 100% like in the end.
Finally, I will shoot you an email to provide you with my contact information if you would like any other assistance. Good luck and thanks for visiting our site!
I couldn't help but respond to your post. We remodled our Kitchen about 5 years ago and installed the Xenon Low Voltage Festoon lights under our cabinets. ABSOLUTELY the best decision we made. Along with the dimmer switch the lighting is excellent. Oh and by the way the transformer has never failed……. Good Luck in whatever you choose-
What wattage? Frosted or Clear? We have a black granite counter top and I don't like seeing the bulb reflection. Thanks.
About a year ago I installed Hampton Bay model 7200 LED puck lights under my cabinets. There is 3 pucks in a set and I installed a set under 2 cabinets. These lights are on only a couple of hours a day. One month ago one of the pucks started flickering and went out. Since then, 2 pucks on each side have gone out. I contacted Hampton Bay and they have discontinued this model. Hampton Bay is owned by Home Depot. Home Depot was kind enough to replace the model 7200 with another model. However this model is 12v low voltage. The wires are about 6 or 7 foot long.
My question is: Can you safely cut and shorten the 12v wires? What is the best and safest way to splice the wires?
Yes, the 12V wires can be cut and spliced. I suggest that you first cut the 12V wire in a convenient location that will not be that visible under most circumstances – maybe tucked away in a corner. Then remove about 0.50in of insulation from each of the two cut ends. Then wind them around each other VERY tightly and cap them off with a small wire nut and then wrap electrical tape around the wire nut and a small portion of the two wires. Since these are 12V wires carrying very little current to LED light fixtures this should be fine. If these were 12V wires carrying 25 amps of current to a high wattage low voltage lighting system, this would not be a good solution.
Great forum everyone! I am in the process of remodeling and want to hardwire in the Xenons as well. A couple of questions! I am in Canada (not sure where you guys call home) but while reading your questions/replies I noticed a few things! Can I use 12/2 wire instead of the 14/2. Pretty well everything in the house is run off 12/2 and the power source for these comes from the same wire into a junction box. I also have two dimmers in the same box for two separate lighting projects. You mention that I have to remove the 'fins'? What exactly do you mean? I'm an avid DIY guy and all this helps! Anything you can suggest would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!-
Ed – I am glad that you found this post and related comments helpful. First, this under cabinet install is mine and I am in the US. We reached out to our supplier and our supplier tells us that YES you can use 12/2 wiring in these fixtures. However, there are orange stab connectors inside the fixtures and these may need to be cut off and wire nuts added and used instead. This is because the 12/2 wire is larger than the 14/2 wire and the orange stab connectors may be too small for your gauge wire.
Second, the "fins" I referred to in my post were on the dimmer. The Maestro dimmer I used has two fins on each side of the dimmer for heat management. If you are installing this dimmer in a single gang wall box then there is no need to remove the fins. However, if you are installing the dimmer in a two gang wall box, like I did, you will need to remove the fins on whatever side of the dimmer that is next to the other switch inside the wall box with the dimmer. In my case, I had an electrical outlet on the right-hand side of the wall box (see pic above). Thus, I removed the fins on the right-hand side of the dimmer. Removing the fins de-rates the max wattage of the dimmer since you are negatively impacting the heat management of the dimmer itself. This is why I stepped up to a 1000-watt dimmer for my installation. Make sure you add up your wattage and if you are removing fins think about increasing the maximum wattage if necessary.
Great info Chris. I've already calculated the wattage and I'm within the 80% (or the suggested maximum wattage) for a 15 amp breaker. I will have a look at the dimmers and re-read the specs on the packaging. I'm in the middle of a major kitchen reno so I'm sure I will have more questions. Thanks again, I'll be back!
Ok Chris, I checked the dimmers and they are Leviton Decora brand that are basically a sealed box-type unit so I didn't see any 'fins' to remove. One of the dimmers in the double gang box is controlling one ceiling fixture with 3 incandescent 60w bulbs. The other will control one 60w incandescent and six 50w PAR 20 pot/can lights. With 3 or more 'devices' (I assume they mean individual lights) the specs allow up to 400w per dimmer so I am within range.
I also installed the first of my Xenon lamps (each one has 2 25w bulbs, one at each end of the fixture). The power source is from a junction box in the ceiling below that has only one 50W PAR 20 bulb and one switch running to/from it. The Xenon works fine but seemed to get a little hotter than I expected on the higher setting. It is hardwired and can be controlled from a switch, not a dimmer … yet! I want to continue to wire each of the fixtures together using the 12/2 Romex but since two of the four are on the other side of the kitchen, I will have to run a 10 foot connection, under the floor, up into the other wall to connect them. Ambitious but doable. My question is, do I simply connect the Romex to the other END of the Xenon fixture and continue onto the next one until all four are connected to the one wall switch OR do I make the Romex connection at the same end as the initial / existing connection. I hope the wording doesn't make this sound more complicated than it is, I just need to know what wires to use in the fixture to connect all the lights together! Ok, I'll stop there for now and see what you think! Thanks so much for the help.
Ed – From your fixture description I am not familiar with the xenon lights that you are installing. My previous comment about your 12/2 wire was specific to the xenon under cabinet lights that we sell and the ones that I installed in my own home. Did you purchase your lights from us? If so, which ones? I might be able to get some assistance from our supplier. Otherwise, I would recommend that you speak with a licensed electrician in your area.
Chris, the lights are from Home Depot, I will get the Model / Name later and hopefully you might be able to go from there. I will take your advice and consult an electrician friend. Thanks.
Update! The lights are Illume brand, Xenon Linear System Line Voltage Models 3011 and 3019. They can only be connected using the proper connection cables which snap into either end as necessary to combine the lights in a series. It is a great system in that only the 1st light in the series needs to be hardwired and the rest literally 'snap' together. The only problem is that the longest extension cable available is 36 inches! In my case I want to connect the lights on opposite sides of the kitchen so I will need about 8 of these extension cables. I don't know if I am comfortable running them inside the drywall in the event there is a problem and I have to access them where they connect. I've though about running them down through some PVC pipe or similar housing where they could be easily pulled up but that is a bit of extra work. In the meantime, can you recommend a Xenon system that can be hardwired fixture to fixture and controlled / dimmed from a wall switch! Look forward to your reply Chris.
Ed – I would recommend the Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights that I installed in my kitchen (the topic of my blog post) and that we sell on our website. In fact, these our our most popular product we sell! They can be hardwired together using either your 12/2 wire (as I explained in my previous comments) OR connecting cables, and of course, can be controlled by one switch/dimmer. However, our connecting cables are also a maximum of 36 inches so you would still have the same problem you are having with your Home Depot lights.
Yes, I have spoken to the Canadian distributor for these lights and that would be the biggest issue. I don't feel comfortable enough running these connector cables behind drywall and in fact the distributor doesn't recommend it either. They are very user friendly in the right application, just not for me. I have found a local cabinet maker who stocks lighting for his own use (ie. customers whom he designs kitchens for) and he is willing to sell me what I need. They can be connected with 12/2 Romex and have knockouts at each end and 3 along the back! A little more pricey than the Home Depot lights but worth it in safety and convenience. Hence my Saturday! Thanks for all the help Chris, us DIY guys need the help sometimes!
The Xenon Line Voltage Thin Under Cabinet Task Lights specification page has very good information about sizing the fixture however I'm wondering if it is better to stay with the longest sized fixture that will fit under a cabinet or is it better to combine two shorter ones to get more even coverage under the entire cabinet?
For instance, I have cabinets where the underside cavity measures 31 1/2 inches. Should I use a 22″ fixture (P043X-3) or should I combine two 14″ fixtures (P043X-2)?
Secondly, when I combine 2 fixtures is the combined length exactly the sum of their lengths or is there some additional length for the connector between the two? For instance, can I combine and fit two 14″ fixtures (P043X-2) in a 28 1/2″ cavity?
Thanks for an informative article and responses.
Nitin – You can combine 2 fixtures directly, or end-to-end, in your cabinet cavity. Below is the text from our product description about this linking method…
1) End-to-End – They can be connected end-to-end directly to each other using the plastic male and female connectors (which cannot be removed) that are included at the two ends of each task light. This method allows 2 xenon task lights to be touching each other at the point of connection.
Read more: http://www.pegasuslighting.com/xenon-task-lights-p043.html#ixzz2Oq41bjR9
Also, check out the Specs & Measurements tab on the product page. Their is a diagram of 3 fixtures directly connected in a cavity.
In your example, choosing two 14-inch fixtures or one 22-inch fixture is possible. Which one should you choose? Depends on your personal preference and your lighting goals. Either way, I think you will like the finished result. Good luck!
Chris, appreciate the quick response. I did see the diagram you are referring to and I also see from the specification and measurements page that a 14″ fixture is really a 14 1/2″ long because of the male connector. I assume that since the two fixtures touch each other and presumably there is no gap between them, joining two fixtures will result in a length that is the sum of the individual fixtures + 1/2″? So joining two 14″ fixtures will give me one which is 28 1/2″ in length? Thanks.
Nitin – You are correct. These two fixtures together should be 28.5 inches.
I am working on a total kitchen remodel (sheetrock removed) and would like to control 4 sections of LED lights with a single dimmable driver. Unfortunately, the areas cannot be connected without going thru a wall, ceiling or floor. Is there a 20 guage low voltage wire that can be run thru the walls to make the connection? or, can we run 14 guage wires from the driver to a to each section of LED lights? I would place those connections in an electrical junction box.
I would strongly suggest consulting an electrician for a few reasons.
First, to determine exactly what type of wire you should be using based on the load it will be carrying. You will need to use a thick wire from the driver to the lights because it will be conducting much more electricity than line voltage since it will be running at a lower voltage. The exact gauge depends on the amps the system will carry.
Second, to make sure you are complying with local electrical codes.
Great article Chris. I'm in the process of remodeling a kitchen which will have black granite counter tops. Because of the overhead soffitt design I doubt that I'll be able to install overhead task lighting so I'm depending on under cabinet lighting to provide lighting for counter work. I read somewhere that flourescent light was the best to use with granite because it has less of a "mirror" effect. But I like the dimming capability of xenon. My question is will the xenon bulb mirror off the granite surface or does the diffuser put it on par with the fluorescent?
To be honest with any kind of granite you are going to have reflections regardless of light source. Granite is a very reflective surface. Since fluorescent is not as directional in nature as xenon I can see how people would think fluorescent would reflect less on granite…and it just might. However, this is a very complicated question and there is no real single answer. Both light sources will reflect. Plus, a diffuser on a xenon fixture will help with the reflection however it will definitely still reflect. My xenon fixtures reflect on my granite.
I will give you my personal opinion based on my tastes and what our company usually suggests…I think it is better to go with a light source that is dimmable so that you can control your light level. With fluorescent you are always going to have a high level of light. I hope my "round about" answer helps your project.
Thanks Chris.
I definitely want the ability to dim the undercounter lights so xenon seems to be the right choice.

Carly Rae Jepsen has officially pulled out of a HUGE concert for the Boy Scouts of America ... claiming she wants no part of an organization that doesn't support gay rights.
The "Call Me Maybe" singer had been booked to perform at the National Scout Jamboree in Mount Hope, West Virginia in July, along with the band Train.
But moments ago, Jepsen tweeted that she's yanked herself from the festival ... squarely because of the group's ban on openly gay scouts and scout leaders.
"As an artist who believes in equality for all people, I will not be participating in the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree this summer," Jepsen said.
She continued, "I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level ... and stay informed on the ever changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe."
FYI -- Train has also backed out of the show ... but says they will be happy to re-join the show IF the Boy Scouts reverse their anti-gay policy.
They're still waiting ...
Nice of her to deny a bunch of innocent kids a concert because of the stupidity of some adults. Cop out.
Oh hey; while we're at it, lets take a little peek at America's culture of Misogyny. It's not limited to rap songs, but it may be why they got started.
And a collective sigh of relief is heard around the Boy Scout campfire that they won't have to hear Call Me Maybe.
Her job is to sing and not gauge the moral compass or personal opinions of the audience. She certainly does not mind the Boy Scouts buying her music but she now is too honorable and politically hip to sing. I hope she is boycotted.
The Boy Scouts probably canceled her show because no one will care who she is in 5 years anyway. This is just PR control for a better image in the public eye…
Train and Carly were supposed to preform but after a protest on change.org the both backed out.
She is a fraud. She came into the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, and some of the kids asked her to sing her hit song.She told them no, because she didn't have her guitar and band. FRAUD!! Wouldn't even sing a couple lines. You think she could have lip synched, since she does it all the time.
hey stupid. you want to know how some of the most deadliest wars in the world started? by dumbos 'removing' themselves from those they 'did not approve of'. palestine and israel? the don't 'talk' to each other either, because they don't like each other's world views. for the sake of world peace, you are doing no one a favor by degrading people for standing for what they believe in. now get your ass on that damn stage and sing.

Elected NYSNA leader at LICH Herdley Hill, RN, rallies in the snow with a hundred supporters before the court hearing. (Click photo for larger image) Dear NYSNA nurse,
It's a victory for all New York patients: today New York Supreme Court judge Johnny Lee Baynes extended the restraining order to stop SUNY from moving forward with their plan to close LICH.
LICH and Interfaith Medical Center are open for care!
But our fight is not over. The restraining order is still temporary. The judge can rule any day on our case.
We've got to keep doing everything we can to keep Brooklyn hospitals open for care. Only a powerful movement that unites caregivers, patients, and community members can keep our hospitals open.
The state Department of Health still has to approve any plan to close LICH. And right now, SUNY is barred from talking to them. The Department of Health needs to hear from us.
Come to Albany this Tuesday, March 12 to deliver thousands of petitions to Health Commssioner Shah. E-mail our NYSNA staff member Caitlin Boston to get more details. And you can download a flier HERE.
Buses, vans, and carloads are coming from Staten Island, Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, and many points upstate.
Every day we keep LICH and Interfaith open, we save lives.
If SUNY had their way, LICH would already be closed. They didn't count on us. In two short months, our union has led the way and created a powerful movement. Just this morning, in heavy snow, over a hundred people rallied in front of the court house. 1199SEIU and the Concerned Physicians for LICH were there. City Council Members Steven Levin, Leticia James, and Brad Lander, and State Senator Daniel Squadron and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz joined us. New York Communities for Change, the National Action Network, and the Cobble Hill Association brought community supporters.
We are setting the stage to win safe staffing ratios, good contracts and benefits for all public and private sector nurses, and healthcare for all New Yorkers.
This victory is the first of many. Take the next step. Join us on Albany this Tuesday, March 12. E-mail email@example.com and let us know you're coming.
In solidarity,
Jill Furillo, RN, NYSNA Executive Director

I wanted to look back at the stats of LB PGs over the years and see if he ever gave any of his PGs the freedom to score the basketball. I think DJ's ability to shoot the ball was lost in our offense and Ray's ability to attack the basket could have been used a lot more this season. With that said let's look at the numbers;
88-89 Johnny Dawkins: 14pts, 7ast, 3reb (32 games played, 21-61 record)
89-90 Rod Strickland: 14pts, 8ast, 4reb (31 games played, 56-26 record)
89-90 Mo Cheeks: 10pts, 6ast, 3reb (50 games played, 56-26 record)
90-91 Rod Strickland: 13pts, 8ast, 4reb (56 games played, 55-27 record)
91-92 Rod Strickland: 13pts, 8ast, 4reb (57 games played, 47-35 record)
*Larry only coached 38 games this season
92-93 Mark Jackson: 14pts, 8ast, 4reb (82 games played, 41-41 record)
93-94 Haywoode Workman: 7pts, 6ast, 3reb (52 starts, 47-35 record)
93-94 Pooh Richardson: 10pts, 6ast, 3reb (25 starts)
94-95 Mark Jackson: 7pts, 7ast, 3reb (82 games played, 52-30 record)
95-96 Mark Jackson: 10pts, 7ast, 4reb (82 games played, 52-30 record)
96-97 Mark Jackson: 9pts, 9ast, 4reb (30 starts, 39-43 record)
96-97 Travis Best: 9pts, 4ast, 2reb (46 starts)
97-98 Allen Iverson: 22pts, 6ast, 3reb (80 games played, 31-51 record)
98-99 Eric Snow: 8pts, 6ast, 3reb (48 games played, 28-22 record)
99-00 Eric Snow: 7pts, 7ast, 3reb (82 games played, 49-33 record)
00-01 Eric Snow: 9pts, 7ast, 3reb (50 games played, 56-26 record)
00-01 Aaron Mckie: 11pts, 5ast, 4reb (46 starts)
01-02 Eric Snow: 12pts, 6ast, 3reb (61 games played, 43-39 record)
02-03 Eric Snow: 12pts, 6ast, 4reb (82 games played, 48-34 record)
03-04 Chauncey Billups: 16pts, 6ast, 3reb (78 games played, NBA Title)
04-05 Chauncey Billups: 16pts, 6ast, 3reb (80 games played, 54-28)
05-06 Stephon Marbury: 16pts, 6ast, 3reb (60 games played, 23-59)
08-09 Raymond Felton: 14pts, 6ast, 4reb (81 games played, 35-47)
08-09 DJ Augustin: 11pts, 3ast, 2reb (72 games played)
09-10 Raymond Felton: 12pts, 5ast, 3reb (80 starts, 44-38)
09-10 DJ Augustin: 6pts, 2ast, 1reb (80 games played)
The stats say if LB has a PG that can score it's not likely to happen. Two years removed from LB and Rod Strickland went on to average +17pts/gm with Portland and Washington. The Allen Iverson PG experiment obviously didn't work well his 1st year in Philly. However, when he had possibly his best scorer at PG he won his only NBA title. I think DJ and Ray are PGs that don't fit the LB PG mold (you can add Billups and Strickland to that list). I think LB would rather have Mark Jackson or Eric Snow run his offense than a PG that has an above average scoring ability. This year we needed all the scoring we could get due to the lack of scoring in the front court. I think LB should have removed the chains from the PGs and it's possible we could have finished in the top 5 or 6 in the conference. If LB returns (which I suppose is highly unlikely) do you see the production changing for the PG?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Republican Governor Bill Haslam is visiting businesses in three rural counties west of Nashville this week.
The governor is headed to Benton, Humphreys and Houston counties in the Kentucky Lake region on Tuesday. He plans to visit Jones Plastic and Engineering in Camden, DuPont Titanium Technologies in New Johnsonville and Glastonbury Southern Gage in Erin.
The governor also has two public events in Nashville this week, starting with a visit to Percy Priest Elementary School on Monday.
On Thursday, the governor plans to attend a foreign policy discussion featuring U.S. Sen. Bob Corker. That event is hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, which last week named former Gov. Phil Bredesen and former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist as co-chairmen of its Tennessee State Advisory committee.

January 1909. "One of several youngsters I found in Tampa Cigar Box Factory. They are reported to have many children when work is rushing. About 10 young boys and girls, 300 employees." Photo by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size.
It never ceases to amaze me how persistent the social movement against child labor was at this time. So many of these marvelous vignettes of industrial and commercial activity on Shorpy would simply never have existed without this motivation. At the very least, the child in the cigar factory was actually producing a real product of value and not working in a cubicle shuffling paper.
That happy face warms my heart. He reminds me of my own son.
For all the Hines pics that have children with the most haunting looks on their faces, this kid seems like he is beaming with pride to be able to have his picture taken.
It kind of reminds me of Eddie Lou Young and her impish grin.

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) Or Anti polution Filter
Particulates, or soot particles are the most visible of the pollutants emitted from the exhaust of a diesel engine, they consist of large carbon particles with other attached and absorbed chemicals. Particulates in addition to being visible are toxic and carcinogenic, and the smaller particle of less than 10 microns (known as PM10s) can penetrate deep into the lungs causing respiratory problems. With the increased use of diesel engines, the increase in air borne particulates is becoming an increasing environmental issue.
These solid emissions can be effectively reduced by filtration of the exhaust. The most effective and practical method is by using a ceramic filter sustrate, usually silicone carbide with microporus walls. This traps the solid particles and allows the gasses to escape through the wall and is vented into the exhaust outlet.
The collected soot builds up within the filter, which will clog and eventually block resulting in a build up of engine back pressure unless it is removed, which is achieved by a process known as regeneration.
Regeneration is achieved by burning the collected soot within the filter, either actively or passively. In an active system a separate, usually electrical, heat source is applied to raise the temperature to a point where the carbon particles are burnt off to produce CO2. In the passive system the heat of the engine exhaust gas is used in conjunction with a special catalytic coating on the filter to achieve the same result
when the anti pollution light came on! It was simply telling you that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) was almost full of soot and the car needed to be driven for 30 miles or so at 40 – 50 mph or above to burn off the accumulated soot and clear the filter. This is not a fault with the car – simply a feature of cars with a DPF. (I often get asked why you can't simply change the filter rather than wasting fuel going for a long drive to clear it. The answer is, you can. The cost is between £1000/ £2000, which makes that drive look suddenly economical).

The Bottom Line
- Ceramic shell holds heat for even cooking
- Excellent ventilation gives you great heat control
- Works great as a smoker
- Can be shut down to snuff out remaining charcoal
- Small cooking area
- Stand sold separately
- 13 inch diameter cooking surface (133 square inches)
- Top vent cap is cast iron - bottom vent is stainless steel
- Heavy ceramic shell holds heat and stops temperature fluctuations
- Glazed interior makes it easy to clean
- Spring loaded lid for easy lifting
- Porcelain coated steel cooking grates
Guide Review - Big Green Egg - Small
The ceramic shell of the big green egg is strong and able to withstand a wide range of temperatures so you don't have to worry about it cracking if you heat it up on a freezing cold day. What makes this grill work so well is that the heat is held inside. Even at its highest temperature the outside remains relatively cool. Because of this efficiency of the design you will find that you don't use as much charcoal as you would on comparably sized grills. When you are done cooking you can close up the vents to stop the remaining charcoal inside from burning and hence save it for your next cookout.
Heat is controlled on this grill by a vent in the bottom of the unit and another one on the top. These vents are simple to use but give you a great deal of control. In fact I find that you get better heat control on this charcoal grill than you do on most gas grills.
Big Green Egg is renowned for their service and support so you can really trust making this investment. Eggs tend to last for a long time so while the $560 price tag on this Egg large may seem high divide that out by the ten year minimum you will get out of the grill and it really is a reasonable investment.
This grill is only available through authorized dealers. Check out Big Green Egg's dealer locater to find one.
Looking for something a little larger? Try the Big Green Egg Medium. Smaller? Try the Big Green Egg Mini.

What's the Future for Farm Markets?
Mar 26, 2004 — As we heard in David Sommerstein's story, there's optimism in a new kind of farm in the North Country.

Raw Milk Advocates Petition Small Farmers
Feb 17, 2004 — Sales are strictly illegal in New York and many other states, but fans of raw milk believe un-pasteurized milk is more nutritious, and more delicious than commercial milk. Modern science doesn't support that, and the idea of milk going straight from the cow onto a bowl of cereal is unthinkable for most doctors and food safety officials. But advocates aren't convinced, and they're waging campaigns across the country to legalize distribution of raw milk. Now they're finding a new audience for their message: small farms looking for a niche in the global dairy market. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Peter Payette reports. Go to full article
Impact of Trade Pact on NY Dairy Farmers Unclear

Grazing Revisited: Interview with Martha Pickard
Dec 03, 2003 — Facing competition from massive factory dairy farms in the Midwest and California, North Country farmers are looking for a way to keep their herds manageable and at the same time find a way to make a living. Some are turning to intensive grazing as an alternative. Martha Pickard is a technician with the Adirondack North Country Association. She helps farmers make the transition to letting their cows out to pasture in the warm months, instead of feeding them corn and hay in the barn all year long. Go to full article
"Forbidden Fruit" Worries Foresters
Nov 12, 2003 — In Europe, the black currant fruit is really popular, but chances are, you've never tasted it here. Farming black currants was banned nearly a hundred years ago because the plant spread disease through forests. Now, states are easing up on their bans, and growers are determined to bring this "forbidden fruit" to the American palate. But forestry experts caution that the black currant revival may still pose a danger to trees. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Lisa Phillips reports. Go to full article

Visit the Grand Hyatt San Francisco's New OneUP Restaurant and Lounge for Dynamic Food and Drinks
Looking to shake up your food and drinking routine? Head to the new OneUP Restaurant & Lounge, a gorgeous American Bistro incorporating classical cooking methods to create unprovincial, artistic and inventive food guaranteed to make your sense say "whoa." Helmed by the talented Chef Adam Nichol, and designed by CSS Architecture (which created San Francisco restaurants Twenty Five Lusk and Barbacco), OneUP is a dynamic and lively spot above the lobby of the recently revamped Grand Hyatt San Francisco.
Perfectly in tune with San Franciscans' sophisticated tastebuds, OneUP honors the great tradition of Northern California's culinary culture by sourcing local ingredients for its ultra-seasonal menu. This means the eatery's culinary team can provide a unique experience throughout the year, and diners can always expect exciting (and delicious) change. OneUP's whirlwind atmosphere comes thanks to its jewel box kitchen, a welcoming hearth to the intimate dining room, and the large communal chef's table, which sits directly in front of the kitchen for maximum viewing pleasure.
When you're finished eating to your heart's content, head to OneUP's lounge, where you'll pass through a sleek wine and liquor library, which holds thousands of bottles that make up the extensive wine and liquor program. Behind the bar, you can expect unique, hand-crafted cocktails created by San Francisco master mixologist Scott Beattie. Or you can top off your meal with their selection of local beers and their very own OneUP Whiskey. For this exceptional spirit, Hyatt partnered with local distillery Charbav to offer a 22-month-old, 138-proof whiskey which is only served in the lounge. OneUP lounge will also feature both live music and top Bay Area DJs Tuesday through Saturday in addition to providing a backdrop for the launch of local, up-and-coming artists through monthly events. In short, it's the place to be for foodies and music lovers alike.

There is a fee of $25, payable with in the online application, for an NEC accompanist. Applicants who are not invited to a live audition will have their $25 fee refunded. NEC accompanists will warm up with applicants for ten minutes immediately before the audition.
* Voice applicants residing outside the United States, Canada, and Mexico who are not applying to the Artist Diploma or DMA programs may be considered for admission based on the submission of a final video audition recording through our application website rather than a live audition. Please visit the Audition Requirements page for more information. Video auditions should include the audition repertoire below. Please note that a live audition is strongly encouraged. Applicants who wish to audition via video recording should not also submit a prescreening recording. Final video auditions are due by February 1.
Repertoire Requirements
The repertoire requirements below apply to both the prescreening recording and the live audition (and to audition video recordings submitted by applicants who are not required to perform a live audition). Applicants may present different repertoire in the live audition than that in the prescreening recording, as long as all requirements are met.
All works should be performed from memory. At the live audition, singers will choose their first piece, and the voice faculty will typically choose a second selection from the applicant's prepared repertoire.
Any undergraduate who wishes to include an aria in addition to the required repertoire on their prescreening and/or live audition may do so. However, an aria is not required and will have no bearing on the evaluation of the recording or audition.
Bachelor of Music and Tufts/NEC applicants should prepare three selections:
- One song in English
- One song in Italian (pre-1800 from any early Italian anthology)
- One song in a language of the applicant's choice
