Your preference in a master bath?
When it comes to the tub in a master bath, I'm wondering what most people prefer. We're remodeling and can choose to have a free standing tub or an undermount tub surrounded by a granite or tile (see photos in my next posts for examples of each).
Example of a free standing tub
Example of an undermount tub with a surrounding material like granite or tile.
I'm voting for the undermount simply because I like the idea of having "space" around the tub to put down a drink, or place a candle, etc.
While I enjoy the look of the free standing tub, I fall on the side of practicality. I would put in an under-mount bath tub. Of course, if you did put in a freestanding tub, you could always place an appropriate height table next to it to store essentials and have space to sit things as you would already have with an under-mount.
Ditto about space around the tub to put things. Sure, there could be a little table, but that just adds floor clutter.
I always have drinking water and various personal sundries on my tub surround when taking a bath.
I vote for undermount.
interesting -- all the replies so far are in favor of the undermount tub, yet the poll results show 50% are in favor of the free standing tub. C'mon, freestanders, speak up and tell me why you prefer this choice!
I like the look of a free standing tub, but they require a bit more room as they look better with a bit of open space around them. It is also more difficult to clean around the wall side of a free standing tub, and you have the water pipes coming up from the floor which are more little parts to clean around. As other posters have said, a free standing tub requires room for some sort of little table nearby to hold essentials.
If you have extra room in the bath, and you don't mind the extra cleaning challenge, then free standing tubs are great.
A built in tub is more practical and takes less space to be done right.
When I was making this decision in my own master bath I choose an over mount tub so that I could use the lip of the tub to hang onto when I get in and out of the tub. It feels more steady and less slippy to me.
I love the look of the old clawfoot tubs floating in a bathroom. But as cocok stated, The bathroom must me large enough to handle it. I tell you what I don't like...I don't like the big jetted tubs they put in the bathrooms. I'd just assume have a smaller tub I can soak in and a larger shower!
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt"
My bathroom remodel includes a freestanding tub flush to the floor and the bathroom is not spacious. There will be a small shower next to it, a toilet across from the shower and a double vanity across from the tub. I realize cleaning around the window side won't be easy. BTW, the tub is replacing a jacuzzi which was the elephant in the room. A half wall on one side of the shower will feature glass as well as the glass door. DH may build a recess shelf between studs next to the tub and I will have a soap/book tray that slides over the tub. A free standing towel rack will be placed near the tub. Also, the tub filler will be sleek and unobtrusive emerging from one pole from the tiled floor.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Froo Froo,
Our master is very MidCentMod and is one long rectangle. I really would prefer a freestanding tub simply for the visual interest. Likely a vintage clawfoot. There is just so much wasted space in there right now, and we don't even use the shower as it is a very scary dark rectangle in the corner.
I think the freestanding will give it a far more feminine edge as it is a luxury, shower will be improved for everyday use, and the long double sink vanity and long make-up vanity will be replaced with separate sinks and storage. Second bath will keep the existing tub.This message has been edited. Last edited by: junk collector,
our tub is neither free standing or undermount. It is one on the outside (free standing) but is attached to the wall on the other side and on the back. In the front, the faucet and handles are on a half wall that hides the pipes.
I like this tub a lot as it has no shower.
In previous homes I have had claw footed tubs and I do not see a problem about cleaning around them anymore than cleaning around the base of a toilet that also has pipes.
DH & I went to the "Parade of Homes" in our area....all houses prices @ 1 million + and were all sold.....and EVERY master bath has the free standing tub.....it looked wonderful in every home....which, again, was already sold.
I love them, not sure how practical they are, but then I have the under mount tub in my Master bath and have never ever been in it...I just clean it
Here's the tub in a house I'm working on completing. The picture is not great, it's from the real estate agent's phone We added the shelf between the tub and window to hold the soap, a good book, a few candles and a bottle of bubbly!
The tub, which looks small here, is 72", the entire room is about 22 feet long.
That tub is very similar to the one I am including in my bath Reno. There is a window along the back like yours, but the filler will be to one end vs the backside. Wish my bathroom was a bit larger.
Chuck. I love that tub!!! Since I take a bath EVERY night, I must have a tub!!!
Love that there is a tiled shelf next to the tub! That takes care of the questions about where the bather would put a towel, candle, soap dish, glass of wine, book, etc. Clever!
The shelf is actually topped with the same marble slabs as the vanities; the floor and lower walls are tiled with marble.
Chuck, do you know the tub's manufacturer? Is it cast iron or acrylic? Mine will be a 60" due to the area restrictions.
This one is a Barkley, it's acrylic and it came from efaucets. It is available in many length, width, depth combos with the faucet mounting outside (like this one) or on a flat section of the side rim and you can get that predrilled or not. I think it also was available with air jets. The packaging was very good and it arrived without a scratch. Elizabethan Classics makes very similar tubs.
Ah, mine will be Barkley too only jet less, no overflow and no faucet holes. I will have a Grohe freestanding fill on one end.
Tip from the plumber - Always get a hand held shower for a tub like this even if you don't think you'll need it for bathing; it makes cleaning the tub much easier.
I also need to correct what I said about the faucets being mounted outside the tub. The supply lines actually come up through the floor between the tub and shelf wall and are mounted on a flattened section of the top rim. That enabled us to get the tub closer to the shelf. The original plan was to have the tub a little closer and the faucets mounted through the top of the shelf but choices were very limited in fills with a long enough reach for that.
FYI, I did select a hand held spray style for the reason you mentioned. BTW, one contractor pointed out that having the filler to the back wall means you will have to stretch to turn it on and off which is why I opted for the end positioning.
I have one of the old fashioned claw foot tubs but I am moving Monday. I have enjoyed it but I did not enjoy cleaning UNDER it! I had to lay on my stomach to do it! And I am almost 73. Not an easy task. I will be enjoying the shower in my newer home. There is a tub in the guest bath if I want to soak.
My mind is a garden. My thoughts are the seeds. My harvest will be either flower or weeds.
--Mel Weldon
Tho I too like the look of a claw foot tub, I considered the aspect of cleaning underneath it. This is the same reason I nixed the vanity on legs option.
Froo -- my childhood home had a clawfoot tub. It was really difficult to clean under as the "belly" of the tub was close, but not touching, the floor.
Everyone -- THANK YOU all for contributing your votes and thoughts on the two tub choices. It appears that tub with surround is the more popular choice, but not by much. Ultimately, I think I couldn't go wrong in terms of re-sale by either choice. Mucho gracias!
Jewel, consider the size of your bath. In my case, it's just over 8x11' and currently has a lg. jacuzzi tub w/ surround, small shower, toilet and double sink vanity. My research early on this year advised me to take out the tub completely and enlarge the shower stating it's the current trend in master bathrooms if you have a tub in another. Two things gave me pause...the word "trend" and resale. I opted for the freestanding tub similar to the pic in a previous response, keep my shower the same size, but add glass panels and door. Both will visually give the perception of a larger space. If, on the other hand, your bathroom is larger, than the choice is yours. Do know jacuzzi tubs have been deemed "out" as bacteria can build up in the jets (I think that's their issue) and bubble tubs are "in". Still, mine will be just a soaker freestanding tub. BTW, I will have a tray that fits over the tub for soap, sponge, a glass of vino, a book.
froo froo.i I went with a standard tub...but bought the deepest one they had...only problem i can't bathe in a tub! but the grands enjoy it when they come! dh and I had huge argument, too. he wanted the same walk in shower I have...we may never sell this place, but we do have one full bath, lol....

Madison County law enforcement collected hundreds of prescription pills Saturday during a drug take back day.
Residents dropped off unwanted or expired prescription drugs for the Drug Take Back Initiative.
The Huntsville and Madison police departments and the sheriff's department participated in the take back.
Authorities said one reason they do the take back is to prevent prescription drug abuse in the home.
"A lot of prescription drug abuse originates from medications in the home. This gives people the opportunity to get those medications out of their home if they're unused, unwanted," said Huntsville Police Chief Lewis Morris.
Huntsville Police collected 400 pounds; Madison Police collected 286 pounds and Madison County Sheriff's Department collected 120 pounds.

New Video Chat Cell Phone Technology Developed for the Deaf
I just came across an article from Cornell University's Chronicle Online about some new technology that Cornell researchers have developed to allow deaf people to use sign language with their new or refurbished cell phones. The improvements that they have developed for video chat software seems like it will benefit anyone who uses video chat, not just the deaf.
When I began the article, I was thinking, "Well why can't you just use video chat to sign?" The article went on to clarify that the current video chat software is too slow and spotty to really carry on a clear conversation via sign language. Cornell Researchers have solved this problem by developing software to deliver video at about 10 frames per second, making the video more reliable.
They also faced problems with video chat using up a cell phone's battery life very quickly. They solved that issue by developing software "smart enough to vary the frames per second based on whether the user is signing or watching the other person sign." This seems like an advancement that all manufacturers making phones with video chat capability can benefit from.
Video chatting on cell phones still seems like something that is a year or two away from really being reliable, but perhaps the people at Cornell working to make cell phones more user friendly for the deaf will speed things up a bit.

Council: McKelvey ball fields will stay

At Last, the council gets it right! I grew up in Mtn. View, played Little League and Babe Ruth baseball at McKelvey, and losing these fields would have been a tragedy! I wish the families near St. Francis good luck and success at finding park space for their kids, but moving to Shoreline was not a good solution.
on Jan 20, 2011 at 6:26 am
Yes !!!! We keep our ballpark !!!!
on Jan 20, 2011 at 10:58 am
yeah..............I drive by that field and see those kids play ball and I get so kid like.....its great to see boys and girls have fun...we come around once in this lifetime ( I think we do )and these parents who wanted to take it away I have no use for.....they seem to be unhappy people.....
on Jan 20, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Thank you city council, for making the right decision with this one. It was definitely the smart and sensible thing to do.
on Jan 20, 2011 at 3:35 pm
Of course, there will likely be no change at McKelvey unless the flood basins at Cuesta Park Annex, Blach School, and Rancho are also approved. No new fields, no new mini park. The four flood basins work together to solve the 100 yr flood problem. And if you have any questions about the potential for flooding, take a look at this article from earlier this week where the USDA/FEMA had a conference about the potential for a superstorm in California:
Web Link
"Such a superstorm is hypothetical but not improbable, climate researchers warn. "We think this event happens once every 100 or 200 years or so, which puts it in the same category as our big San Andreas earthquakes," Geological Survey scientist Lucy Jones said in a press release."
"The risk is gathering momentum now, scientists say, due to rising temperatures in the atmosphere, which has generally made weather patterns more volatile."
on Jan 20, 2011 at 6:13 pm
I love baseball, and grew up playing baseball at school and in pick-up games with friends in the 50's, and I frankly can't see that organized league sports for kids gives anyone much benefit other than perhaps the very few kids who have enough real athletic ability and will become career professional athletes - and the parents who come to root for their kids (as opposed to enjoying baseball) and to boost their own egos through their kids' accomplishments.
I'd much rather we all made preparations for a very likely flood, something that will affect many in Mountain View. It doesn't have to be the superstorm mentioned in the weblink above, we are overdue for the inevitable 100 year flood that the Water District is prudently trying to plan for, and for which everyone living within shouting distance of a creek pays higher flood insurance. You do have flood insurance, don't you?
on Feb 26, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Thank you City Council for saving the 90 ft. Big League baseball field at McKelvey. Mountain View has changed so much over the years. That place has so many memories for Mt. View natives. It's a landmark!

Bill Grimes Daily News
Effingham Daily News
---- — An Effingham County 911 Board member said the county sheriff's department is to blame for the persistent inoperability issues that have plagued sheriff's deputies in recent years.
During Tuesday's meeting of the Effingham County Emergency Telephone System Board, Ted Heath charged that the sheriff's department had the money to join Effingham city police and the Illinois State Police on the STARCOM radio system, but chose to spend the money instead on components for a high-band radio system.
In a letter Heath wrote to Chief Deputy (and fellow 911 board member) John Loy and read aloud at Tuesday's meeting, Heath said he would like to avoid future interoperability issues. Consequently, he said, he would like the sheriff's department to provide documents that show how the high-band system was developed.
Heath said it was important to study the documents "in order to have a good understanding of how these events developed and in order to learn from history and hopefully avoid future interoperability issues."
The requested documents include:
• Copies of all state and federal grant applications filed by the sheriff's department since 2005 that are related to communication issues.
• Copies of all documents since 2005 related to grant approval for communication issues.
• Copies of all documents the sheriff's department sent to grantor agencies in which the use of grant funds was documented.
• Copies of request for proposal documents in which high-band system requirements were outlined.
• A list of vendors who received those system requirements.
• Copies of all bids received for high-band system development.
• Copies of all invoices paid by the sheriff's department since 2005 related to the high-band or any other communication system.
Heath noted that the radio bridge developed earlier this year to enhance interoperability between sheriff's deputies and other agencies was recently disabled, putting communication issues back where they were before the bridge was developed. Sheriff's deputies have repeatedly complained they cannot effectively communicate with other agencies when out of their squad cars.
Heath said after the meeting that the sheriff's department misled other agencies at the beginning of the process several years ago.
"They led us to believe they were going to STARCOM," Heath said. "They have always argued they didn't want to pay the user fees, but behind the scenes they were spending their grant money on high-band components.
"Enough is enough."
Heath said he doesn't expect the sheriff's department to give him the documents, adding he is prepared to file a Freedom of Information Act request.
Loy was not at Tuesday's meeting. Neither he nor Sheriff John Monnet were available for comment Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday's meeting was the last for longtime member Russ Thomas, who is leaving the board after 16 years. Thomas noted Tuesday that he had attended 204 consecutive meetings.
"I still had red hair when I was first named to the board," Thomas said with a chuckle.

Alamo residents speak out against incorporation
Original post made on Oct 4, 2007

Interesting that 30 "old timers" got together to oppose Alamo's incorporation. I wonder if they don't suffer from Alzheimers or dementia?
Ever since I first moved to Alamo in '72, the County has tried their best to turn us into another Concord. The "old timers" seem to have forgotten the plan to turn Danville Blvd into a four lane road and vastly expand retail (which of course, merely increased tax revenues for the County to waste, err spend as they felt fit). It would have been another Monument Blvd.
Or did they forget that the County allowed RoundHill North to be built on very visible steep hillsides that have had a penchant for slides, when just about every other INCORPORATED community would never allow such development?
But for the AIA and dedicated Alamoians over the years, we easily could have been another Concord. But enough is enough. When we are forced to accept monstrosity homes like have been built near the freeway (the horrendous tilt up that poses as a house is a blatant example of out of control, absentee County oversight), Alamo residents need to wrestle control back for the sake of our community.
There is a giant vacuum sound coming from the Alamo tax base. What do we get in return? Stunningly poor roads (check out the outrageously bad paving job the County paving crews did on Stone Valley Rd a week or two ago). And incompetent absentee "management" by County employees who don't live in the community and have no reason to give us any more than lip service.
Alamo should have incorporated decades ago. The only reason Alamo wasn't allowed to incorporate was that the County didn't want to lose all the excess tax revenue we provide. Now that we have an up-to-date Feasibility Study that conclusively proves Alamo is not only viable as a city, but will generate excess revenues (but of course, we've known that Alamo has been a County cash cow for many years), there is absolutely zero reason to be against incorporation.
on Oct 5, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Dear Editor,
Paul is almost right that there is few reasons to oppose incorporation. There is a major reason to oppose AIM's incorporation efforts because AIM wants to turn over the future of Alamo to a town council that has no reason or need to seek community guidance in their planning.
We have five supervisors that ignore and abuse us. Do we want five council members that will do the same?
Show me a PLAN for our future,
on Oct 5, 2007 at 2:31 pm
The September issue of Alamo Today contained an explanation of "How the new Town of Alamo will use your tax dollars", written by Sharon Burke of the Alamo Incorporation Movement. This well written article summarized most of the points made by the Initial Financial Analysis (I.F.A.) The I.F.A. had been commissioned by the Alamo Incorporation Movement. The I.F.A. in addition to providing significant detail for establishing and managing the Town of Alamo, describes requirements and steps to follow for incorporation of the Town of Alamo,
The essential reason for establishing the Town of Alamo, is to allow Alamo to manage and control its Planning, Parks, Police and Roads. Underlying these reasons is the complaint that Contra Costa County is not sufficiently responsive to Alamo residents individually, and specifically is not responsive to those Alamo residents who act for the Alamo community and interface with Contra Costa County organizations.
It is important to.get an understanding of how the Town of Alamo will gain needed control over those functions.
The Town of Alamo will own all of its roads. Alamo will receive taxes and user fees for
maintenance of the Alamo roads. This appears to be a "pass through" where the Town of Alamo will have responsibility for road maintenance.
The Town of Alamo intends to continue contracting with the Contra Costa County Sheriff for Police protection. Traffic enforcement will be provided by the Sheriff's department instead of the California Highway Patrol.
Parks and Recreation
The Town of Alamo will take over revenues and responsibilities for parks and recreation. This includes park maintenance, recreation programs and the development and establishing of new parks.
The Town of Alamo will be responsible for land use planning and zoning. It is in this area of land use planning and zoning that impetus for incorporation of the Town of Alamo has gained the most traction. Residents of Alamo who act for the Alamo community are frustrated by the inability to adequately represent Alamo and have this representation accepted by Contra Costa County staff.
From the perspective of the resident of Alamo, it is also important to attempt an understanding of what will be gained by incorporation.
It is reasonable to expect that little immediate change will be apparent.
Also, little change will be apparent, with the exception of traffic enforcement.
Parks and Recreation
There appears to be little reason to expect immediate changes. Over time park acquisitions may be apparent.
Alamo residents may expect more immediate and satisfactory resolution of land use and zoning issues. Planning personnel of the Town of Alamo will find themselves significantly less encumbered in making and implementing land use and zoning decisions.
The Initial Financial Analysis used the neighboring towns of Clayton, Moraga and Lafayette as comparators to assist in determining the financial feasibility of Alamo incorporation. The I.F.A. estimated an initial Town of Alamo budget of $7,253,000, it compared that budget with expected revenues and determined an excess of $330K, or about 4.5%. The I.F.A. estimated an initial staff of 15, not including a police requirement of 17, plus 10 additional for holiday, etc. replacement. The Town of Alamo population is 17,600.
The Initial Financial Analysis is available on line, as are the current budgets for Clayton, Moraga, and Lafayette.
It is clearly helpful for Alamo residents to review these documents and understand differences in budgets and personnel between the new Town of Alamo and the three comparison towns.
Moraga population is 16,450. The Moraga staff of 36.5 includes 15.5 police. The Moraga budget is $5.6M.
Clayton population is 10,781. The Clayton budget is $3,784,028. The Clayton staff is 26, plus 10 police.
Lafayette population is about 24 thousand. The Lafayette budget is $9.4M and the staff is 36 with 75 temporary employees, many working part time. In addition, there are 19 police.
How should the Alamo Resident consider the differences between the Town of Alamo and Clayton, Moraga and Lafayette?
If Clayton, Moraga and Lafayette have developed as the Town of Alamo can be expected to develop, the apparent answer is that the Initial Financial Analysis understates staff requirements and the budget that will be needed.
The Initial Financial Analysis does not provide guidelines for increasing revenues for the Town of Alamo. The I.F.A. does indicate that the Town of Alamo is, essentially, "built out". The I.F.A. also indicates that current commercial/business development of the Town of Alamo is restricted to what is now developed at the intersection of Danville Blvd. and Stone Valley Road.
Meaningful revenue increase for the Town of Alamo may be available by undertaking very disruptive changes to present land use and zoning. Such changes could be exceedingly disruptive to the Town of Alamo as a residential community that Alamo residents have come to expect.
Incorporation of the community of Alamo into the Town of Alamo is, however, a desirable objective. Enabling the Town of Alamo to assume Planning functions would streamline and satisfy long standing frustrations in dealing with Contra Costa County staff.
Establishing the Town of Alamo, though, may not be so simple.

Recount coming in Box Butte Commissioner race
There will be a recount in the race for Box Butte County Commissioner.
County Clerk Judy Messersmith says the canvassing board will meet Tuesday, Nov. 13 at 9 a.m.
Following Thursday's county of provisional and absentee ballots, Doug Hashman of Berea led Marv Toedtli of Alliance by 20 votes. She says the automatic recount will take place because the margin of difference between Hashman and Toedtli is less than 1 percent.
Messersmith says the recount will cost the county roughly $200.
The race for third place in the Alliance School Board is now official.
Messersmith says between the Box Butte County vote and the votes counted in Morrill and Sheridan Counties from voters who have property in the Alliance School District, Deb Grothen-Wegehoft defeated incumbent Troy Schnell by 69 votes.
Grothen-Wegehoft will officially become a member of the school board on January 7.

((Well, since my previous post in here has been deleted since the thread is now a sticky, here it is again. xP))
Well, I've started up my Wii, and it's a-****in'-mazing! But three things are kinda' buggin' me.
One, when I moved the Wiimote around, it seems to be fine, but after a bit, I noticed it'd get kinda jittery and go off-track for a fraction of a second occasionally.
Two, I've noticed that when I'm moving around the Wiimote, it's kind of... I dunno, off. It doesn't feel like it's in the right place, sometimes. Bugs me a bit...
Three, I was playing Wii Sports, and with the baseball game, when I first held the "bat," it was working totally fine, and then I switched to pitching. When I went back to the batting position, the exact way I held the Wiimote the last time was doing something different. Instead of being over the Mii's shoulder, the tip was facing the camera angle.
Anyone else having these problems? Any suggestions on how to fix or cope with them?
Thanks! ^_^
How close are you to the sensor bar? I find it works best at a min of 2.5ft away. I too had similar issues in Redsteel, but no more. It seems to take some time getting used to, once you've mastered the controls, the game becomes natural to play.
WiiSports (obviously) / Redsteel / Excite Truck / TC:SO / Rayman RR / Wii Play / Sonic and the Secret Rings / Mad Catz Skinz
The one thing I'm trying to investigate now is the sensor bar. I played with the system through most of the night at a friend's house on a LARGE television, and with the sensor bar place right bellow the bottom of the screen, I had to point the remote really far down to get the cursor to show up on screen.
In fact when i point it right at the sensor bar, the cursor is in the middle of the screen. Has anyone found a way to adjust the sensor bar configuration in anyway? My console is currently hooked up to my network and about 75% through downloading the system update. Really hoping theres a fix in the update.
UPDATE: I just finished the System Update, addin Wii Shop functionality and SD memory card support. At first glance though, nothing has changed on the sensor bar configuration. Are we doomed to point slightly below or above our screens on Wii games? Can we not point right at our targets like in the commercials? Please Nintendo... please anybody.... I am still in love with this system but i want it to be PERFECT, it can be perfect
I'm sure there'll be a way to configure this. I mean c'mon, it'd be silly to put in a pointer ability that can't be configured... Just think Time Crisis, they had a similar build up for the light gun (I think) which you calibrate before playing.
Consult your Wii Manual if you haven't already, there'll be something on the start-up screen options for calibrating your Wii pointer.
yeah not even an hour after I got the Wii, it overheated and froze on me, and no I do not have the ventilation blocked. I had to hard reset it because none of the front buttons would work.
... Woah... D:
I'm having similar issues. It seems as though they just made it so that the center of the sensor bar itself is defaulted as the center of the screen. This isn't a huge annoyance yet, but I'm sure it will be once we have games that don't give us reticles when aiming. Then what will we do? I sent an email to Nintendo customer service. Hopefully I'll get a response different than a form letter. I'll let you know.Originally Posted by Leilock
I agree, being able to configure the bar so the "Zero point", can be set anywhere infront of you instead of being defaulted to the heigh of the sensor bar itself. As of right now, it's all good, but I am hoping to see something eventually with more options.Originally Posted by zebov

In Tuesday's Healthier Me, a new study reveals that your vitamin bottle's contents may not match its label!
Researchers tested Vitamin-D pills sold in five mainstream grocery stores from 12 different manufacturers and found that the actual amounts of Vitamin-D in the pills ranged from 9% to 140% of the amount given on the label.
When testing five pills from one bottle, most averaged closer to 100%, but one-third of the pills were still too high or low.
Experts say that while no pills were considered dangerous, some had too little of the vitamin to effectively treat someone with a deficiency.

No part of the 19th, 20th, or 21st Century has touched Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation's 112 acres. Here, the farm and behavior of its workers are straight from the mid to late 1700s, immersing visitors in a living-history book focused on Pennsylvania's past and the United States' earliest days. A tour of the grounds reveals an old farmhouse, a blacksmith, and many animals, including cows, sheep, and horses. Each year might bring new residents?such as young lambs?as well as fresh crops from flax to buckwheat.
Period costumes help workers keep up an atmosphere of authenticity, as does the plantation's lack of heated buildings, which means the whole operation shuts down during cold winter months. When the weather's not chilly, the plantation also hosts educational programs with hands-on activities that let children and adults experience life on a farm from the 1700s.
Visitors could explore Tyler Arboretum for hours and still not see everything it has to offer. For one thing, it's huge?the arboretum covers 650 acres of woodlands and gardens crisscrossed with 17 miles of hiking trails. For another, it's constantly hosting educational programs and special events. And then there's the seasonal variation: the exhibits here?not to mention the flora and fauna?change by the month, week, and day.
Some of the arboretum's most colorful exhibits include a small pond, a 1,400-square-foot butterfly house, and nine interactive tree houses (open April?November) scattered across the property. Tyler Arboretum is open year-round, but some of the best times to visit are in spring and summer, when flowers are in bloom and there are no snowmen around demanding top hats and scarves.

They're called pusharatas and the Slavonian Ladies Auxiliary club has been making them since 1984.
Every year, around Christmas time, the women work in overnight shifts to prepare the sweet pastries.
President of the club Georgia Menhennett said people pre-order the desserts, by the dozen, and every year the orders grow.
The women made 1,391 dozen pusharatas this year. That's not including the orders of 60 people on the waiting list that may not receive their batch.
At $7 a dozen, the fruity pastry is said to be well worth the price.
The women in the club said they can't imagine Christmas without pusharatas, and 1,391 dozen pusharatas lead many to believe that without the pastries' presence, Christmas in Biloxi wouldn't be the same.

Before Saucy even begins her cupcake review of Batman: The Dark Knight, she wants to address a few issues... but let's get those pastries out of the way and discuss more serious matters. Saucy gave The Dark Knight four cupcakes out of five, and she will tell you why.
Reason one: above... Saucy's only Batman. Yes, Christian Bale is all Bat Hot and Bat Handsome with his Bat Pecs and his Bat Chiseled-Chin. But study the portrait above, dear reader. Do you see what I see? I see the perfect not-so-secret celebrity crush. I see the world's best Bruce Wayne. Flawed, not perfect. That's how Saucy likes her Batmen. Furrowed brow and all.
Second... what's with all the movie posters? Saucy demands to know why Warner Brothers Pictures distributed so many variations on a theme. It's a guy dressed like a bat, we get it. And a guy dressed sort of like a clown, we get that, too. But why so many different posters? Is the art department that slow?
But that bat, he is a dark character, indeed. As it should be, a vigilante superhero and all.
Of course everyone is talking about Heath Ledger as The Joker. Has Saucy ever told her readers about her coulrophobia... her morbid fear of clowns? Knowledge of this fear may cause you to pause and wonder how Saucy ever sat through this movie in order to bring you, dear reader, her cupcake review. That's how much she lurrrves you.
Saucy shelved her coulrophobia, her arachnaphobia, her acousticophobia, cacophobia, entomophobia, and her lygophobia to sit through this two and a half hour movie. For you.
Her motophobia didn't help, either. Motophobia, be damned!
Come on... this one isn't even Heath Ledger. What is a fear of too many promotional posters called?
Dark. Sinister. You can bet on that. Long - Don't buy the big soda. Disturbing. It's a good thing Saucy keeps her Valium in her Juicy Couture. But see it, you must. Put all those phobias of yours aside and go see this movie. I only left out the fifth cupcake out because of all the sinister badness. Sinister badness and cupcakes do not go together.

Boy Scouts of America or BSA was founded in the United States in 1910. The organization was founded in Washington, DC, by Chicago publisher William Boyce.
The BSA is headquartered in Irving, Texas.
The BSA was chartered by the US Congress in 1916. A few other youth programs have congressional charters, including the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The BSA is made up of various programs: Tiger Scouts (first graders, or 7-year-olds); Cub Scouts (second through fifth graders, or 8, 9, and 10-year-olds); Webelos Scouts (fourth-and fifth-graders, or 10-year-olds); Boy Scouts (11 through 17-year-olds); Varsity Scouts (14 through 17 year-olds); and Venture Scouts, which is a is a year-round program for young men and women who are 14 (or 13 years of age and have completed the eighth grade) through 21.
Membership in Boy Scouts has declined by about a third since 1999. As of Dec. 31, 2012, youth membership totaled 2,658,794. There are also 1,039,825 adult members, who are mostly leaders of various groups.
As of Dec. 31, 2012, there were 108,971 units (crews, teams, troops and packs) in the BSA.
More than 70% of BSA troops are affiliated with a church or a religious group.
The Boy Scouts announced last month that the organization would consider changing their ban on openly homosexual scouts and troop leaders. The new policy would allow local leaders to decide "consistent with each organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs" whether to open troops they sponsor to openly gay people.
The proposal comes after a Supreme Court ruling in 2000 that found the organization has the right to keep gays out.
A poll released Feb. 6 showed a majority of American voters think the Boy Scouts of America should lift their ban on gay Scouts and scoutmasters.
The Quinnipiac University survey indicated 55 percent of respondents said the ban should end, and 33 percent said it should remain in place. There was a gap among man and women in the poll -- 61 percent of women supported allowing gay members, while 49 percent of men supported such a move.
Among more recent controversies, the BSA came under fire last year after Jennifer Tyrrell, an Ohio den leader, was dismissed by her local Boy Scout officials for being a lesbian. On Feb. 5, Tyrell presented a petition she said was signed by 1.4 million people supporting the change to the BSA policy.
On May 23, the group made a historic decision when its 1,400-member national council voted to allow openly gay youths to join scouting starting Jan. 1, 2014. The BSA, however, will maintain its ban on gay adult leaders.

Yes you could, but I would rephrase the statements; they sound awkward as they stand:
1) I know this country quite well.
2) I know this country reasonably well.
Also note that you could also replace "quite" and "reasonably" with "fairly" (and other such words) to convey the same meaning.

When you buy a PicoScope Automotive Oscilloscope you get industry-leading performance that is both affordable and easy-to-use.
Pico automotive oscilloscopes combine the performance and features you would expect from the market leader in PC oscilloscope technology, all in an easy-to-use and affordable package.
Unlike most digital storage oscilloscopes, which typically have 8-bit vertical resolution and poor DC accuracy, Pico automotive oscilloscopes are accurate to 1% and have 12-bit resolution. This gives a vertical resolution of 4000 'dots' compared to the usual 100 or 200 of most other automotive scopes.
As well as the high vertical resolution, Pico automotive oscilloscopes also feature large memory buffers – making it possible for you to capture large, complex signals and then expand areas of interest to show the fine detail of the signal.
- High resolution and precision
- Large sample memory allows waveform detail to be expanded
- Unlimited storage of waveforms and settings

The PicoScope 4000 Series can capture signals four times faster than any other PicoScope automotive scope — this makes it compatible with the new FlexRay standard and ensures your PicoScope oscilloscope will continue to be useful for a long time to come.
More memory
As well as capturing faster signals, the PicoScope 4000 Series also outperforms other scopes thanks to the 32 MB of 'always on' memory. With 64 times the memory of the previous generation of scopes, the PicoScope 4000 Series ensures that you can effortlessly capture every detail of the signal. Never again will you miss those hard–to–find intermittent faults.
Higher input range
The high ±100 V input range of the PicoScope 4000 Series eliminates the need for external attenuators for most vehicle tests.
Sorry — we couldn't make it any easier to use
Thanks to the familiar graphical user interface, help files and reference library, using your PicoScope 4000 Series diagnostic oscilloscope is as easy as ever. If you're an existing PicoScope user you can just connect your scope and benefit immediately from the power and performance of your new PicoScope 4000 Series. If you've never used a PicoScope oscilloscope before you can get started without needing to spend hours reading manuals.
The labscope for the new generation of vehicles
The fast sampling speeds, large memory and bandwidth of the PicoScope 4000 Series means that not only is it suitable for use on all current vehicles, but it will continue to be of use in diagnosing faults with the complex electrical and electronic systems that will be found on new and future generations of vehicles.

Hi there,
Is it correct to use 'outside of textbooks'? I want to say students can learn things that they can't learn in textbooks when they join extra curricular activities.
Joining extra curricular activities can allow students to learn things outside of textbooks.
many thanks
We also talk about learning outside the classroom.

If you're like many smokers and other tobacco users, you know you should quit — you just aren't sure how to do it. Creating a quit-smoking plan may improve your chances of stopping for good. Having a quit-smoking plan helps you cope with the physical and emotional issues that often arise when you stop smoking, such as nicotine withdrawal and strong urges to smoke.
Action guide to dealing with triggers (PDF file requiring Adobe Reader)
Sure, you may be able to list plenty of reasons to stop smoking. You may be worried about the health problems related to smoking, the social stigma, the expense or the pressure from loved ones. But only you can decide when you're ready to stop smoking. You may spend a lot of time thinking about quitting smoking before you're ready to actually do it. If you're thinking about quitting, go ahead and pick a specific day to quit — your quit day — and then plan for it.
Pick a specific day within the next month to quit smoking. Don't set your quit day too far in the future, or you may find it hard to follow through. But don't do it before you have a quit-smoking plan in place, either. Having a day in mind can help you prepare for what to expect and to line up helpful support. Pick a random day as your quit day or pick a day that holds special meaning for you, such as a birthday, a holiday or a day of the week that's generally less stressful for you.
What if you decide to quit smoking on the spur of the moment? Follow the quit day advice and go for it.
There's no easy way to quit smoking. But planning for it can help you overcome the hurdles you're likely to face. Here are steps you can take as you prepare for your quit day:
Getting through your quit day can be emotionally and physically challenging, especially if strong tobacco cravings strike. Try these tips to help manage your quit day:
With a quit-smoking plan to guide you, line up your resources now so that you can lean on them when you quit smoking. The more resources you have in place upfront — support groups, nicotine replacement, medications, counseling — the more likely you are to quit and stay quit.

Epping Forest District Council to pick up Christmas trees for recycling in new year
4:30pm Monday 24th December 2012 in Epping Forest By Katie Bamber
ONCE the needles have dropped and the tinsel is back in the attic, residents are once again being urged to recycle their real Christmas trees.
Epping Forest District Council will pick up families' festive firs, along with any other garden and food waste, after this year's celebrations draw to a close.
Trees should be removed from their pots or stands, all decorations and tinsel should be removed and all sprayed or artificial snow shaken off.
Any trees standing more than six foot should be sawed in half and placed by residents' food or garden bin on collection day.
The council will be running a revised waste and recycling collection schedule over Christmas and the New Year. To find out when your waste will be picked up, click here.

The point the EFDC is making, I think, is "please make it easy and cheap for the council to collect and dispose of". Why not say that.

When shoppers see a deal that seems too good to be true law, enforcement officials and others are warning them to make sure they are not buying a counterfeit item. Counterfeit goods is a billion dollar industry in the United States that deals in everything from fake designer purses, to shoes, sunglasses, pharmaceuticals and pirated music and DVDs."It damages the global economy and we have seen it funds problems like international organized crime gang activity domestically," National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) Director of Communications Michelle Boykins said. "It is attractive to them because it's easier and it has less risk involved with it."Around Middle Tennessee people can be found selling counterfeit items in parking lots and out of vehicles. One stand Nashville's News 2 found was selling fake Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors and Chanel purses. The stand also sold other items like shoes and cologne. The stand's owner did not want to be identified, but said his stand provides affordable and nice looking products to an area that lacks adequate access. The NCPC in conjunction with federal law enforcement agencies has launched a multi- year campaign against intellectual property theft. The effort includes public service announcements on radio, television and the web. "Intellectual property theft is not a victimless crime. There are people who lose their jobs every single day as a result of intellectual property theft," Boykins said. "This is a huge enterprise. Anytime you have law enforcement seizing web sites and goods its millions of dollars."NCPC said the sale of the items also drives international organized crime and labor abuses in the countries where the counterfeit goods are produced. A recent bust in Bejing, China netted the arrest of 73 people who were suspected of making and selling more than one million fake luxury bags.Once authorities calculated the value of the facts and the equipment used to produce them, they estimated the operation was worth $800 million. The bags were set to be shipped to the United States.It is estimated the counterfeits cost the United States $250 billion every year in lost revenue and 750,000 jobs."So if you are out there looking for that bargain, ask yourself is it really worth the price in the end," Boykins said. Tennessee's Department of Commerce and Insurance Consumer Affairs Division said any shopper who is approached by a seller, especially in an unorthodox retail situation promising luxury items for uncommonly low prices, should exercise judgment about the proposed transaction.If you believe you have been deceptively sold counterfeit merchandise, contact law enforcement authorities.Anyone with questions or complaints about a transaction at a retail outlet should contact Consumer Affairs at 615-741-4737.

Coyote Kills The Cat
Last week our cat, Flurry, went missing for a few days. Like most cats, she was an expert hunter and would stay gone for awhile, but by day-three of her absence we were worried.
Saturday my wife, Ruth, was pulling honeysuckle off the fence along a field when she got it in her head to command Daisy, our pit bull, to find Flurry. So Daisy immediately sets off across the field, coursing like a bird dog. In the middle of the field she shows obvious interest in what turns out to be a cat stomach (yes, there are photos of cat stomachs on the Internet) along with some of Flurry's white hair.
We figure coyotes. Flurry was out hunting at night and got whacked. I read (again on the Internet) where it's not uncommon for coyotes and wolves to leave the stomachs of their prey uneaten. I'm not a cat guy, but I liked Flurry. It was considerably harder on my wife and daughter.
We live out in the country in Anderson County where coyotes are taken for granted. We hear them at night, especially this time of the year when the sub-adults are trying to establish their home range. I shot a big coyote once while squirrel hunting just as it was about to pounce on my dog. Years back another one of our squirrel dogs was mauled by what we think was a coyote. We had to amputate her leg.
But I dearly love to hear them yip andyowl at night.
I checked around and found a study by the University of Montana conducted in Arizona in the winter of 2005-2006 that found that in 19 out of 36 coyote-cat interactions they observed, the coyotes killed the cats. In another 45 cases where coyotes were observed eating, 42 percent of the meals were cats.
Below is a photo of Flurry. By the way, we buried the stomach.

Time to once again play Athletic Director. Your school is slumping. You have fired the head coach. You are looking for a talented replacement, who will bring the program to prominence, satisfy...
A high level preview of Ole Miss in 2010.
A summary of Houston Nutt's comments on the SEC coaches conference call.
In today's live blog chat, Alford says, "I'm hearing Tyrone Nix does have an offer from Florida. If so, he has a decision to make."
As a Georgia fan, I now feel much better about our offense (South Carolina's defense is as good as advertised) and much worse about our defense (Georgia never should have given up that many points to the Palmetto State Poultry).
I hope this also gives Gamecock fans a little more perspective on Tyrone Nix. He may not be Ellis Johnson, but he's a good defensive coordinator.
I would quibble with a couple of C&F's points, however. How many years does Stephen Garcia have to have in the program before he ceases to be described as "a relatively green player just beginning to grasp his offense"? Through his own idiocy, he hasn't seen the field as much until this year, but he's been in the system for quite a while. His problem isn't inexperience, and it certainly isn't youth, it's the Steve Taneyhill mentality that could have cost South Carolina the game.
After a big play gave the Gamecocks a first and goal, Garcia was shown running down the sideline, jumping and gesticulating like an epileptic cheerleader or a fan who'd had way, way too much to drink before the game. It's one thing to do that when you've scored, but it was first and goal. There was football left to be played. Garcia's next three plays? Bad option pitch, sack, incomplete pass that hit an Ole Miss defender in the gut. Think about playing football before showing us your moronic dance moves, son.
The other quarrel I have is with the description of Georgia as "surprisingly good." The Bulldogs are ranked lower today than they were in the preseason polls and their defense is significantly worse than anticipated. Every problem the Red and Black had at the end of last season (penalties, turnovers, poor special teams play) persists this season and the offense is only just starting to find its feet after losing its top quarterback, running back, and wide receiver. In what sense is Georgia "surprisingly good"? I found that characterization absolutely baffling.
Was Ole Miss overrated? Clearly, and it seems all of us knew it going in; we all voted the Rebels in the top ten because we thought we were supposed to, but I never heard anyone defend that placement, and, when I picked South Carolina to beat Mississippi, I actually drew some criticism for making the "safe" pick. As I believe Team Speed Kills asked when everyone (correctly) expected Ole Miss to beat LSU last year, does it count as an upset if everyone predicts it?
Nevertheless, it counts as a signature win. Even though SEC teams should never be playing regular-season games on Thursday nights (unless it's Thanksgiving), it was on the national stage, and the Rebels were ranked where they were ranked. South Carolina proved that its defense is as good as it's usually been, if not better, and, for the first time in
the Steve Spurrier era the last 20 years our lifetimes upon this planet forever, the Gamecocks appear to have something vaguely reminiscent of an offense, at least between the 20s.
Since we're the "1," I'm content to have them go 11-1.
Also, I prefer the "hot librarian" look on Erin Andrews. That is all.

Public transit riders in Dubuque are going to be very pleasantly surprised on Monday.
One of the biggest gripes among public transportation riders almost anywhere seems to be that it takes too long to get from point A to point B, but an overhaul of Dubuque's bus route system will go into effect next week.
Dubuque resident Loretta Donahue said she rides Dubuque's public transit system, the Jule, every day she can.
"All the time! I mean, I have no car. I'm too old to drive," 83-year-old O'Donahue said. "I can't afford a car, so it's very nice to have the bus."
Bus driver Steve Jochum said he sees lots of commuters during the week, many of whom spend a long time on the bus.
"I started driving the bus six years ago, and you'd be taking people to work in the morning and the same people back in the afternoon, and you know they're spending three hours on the bus, just to get to and from work," Jochum said while driving his route Friday afternoon.
It's that long commute time that helped prompt Jule officials to completely revamp the transit system's routes, effective Monday. The Jule's director of transit operations Candace Eudaley said she's excited to see the positive change take place.
"A lot of our routes had wound through the city and didn't really give you a direct route to where you were going, and they were hard to understand," Eudaley said of the old system. "The names didn't necessarily match where they were actually going."
Under the new system, Eudaley said, every route's time will shorten -- some by half or more.
"This is going to be a huge life change for people who are transit-dependent," Eudaley said. "I'm really hoping we see a lot more people give it a try because it will be so much faster."
Jule employees are spreading the word by putting pamphlets about the new routes on buses or even hopping on buses themselves to chat with riders.
"Well, if you have any questions, you know to call the office, right?" one Jule official asked the riders on Jochum's bus late Friday afternoon.
"There's a lot of people we drop off here that work out here," Jochum said at the Kennedy Circle transit station on the west end of Dubuque. "They're going to get from downtown to out here in 15 minutes, compared to an hour the old way."
As the saying goes, change is good.
The Jule is holding a number of public meetings to help introduce people to the new transit system and which routes to take. Eudaley said organizations can even call the Jule to schedule an on-site "Jule 101" session for their staff or clients.
