Malpractice means wrong actions which are carried out by an individual thereby resulting in injuries or damages to client, at the time of providing services to him. The professions which are most prone to litigation are doctors and attorneys and so it's important that they carry malpractice insurance.
How Much Does Legal Malpractice Insurance Cost
Just like an any other insurance, legal malpractice insurance rates vary. There are several insurance companies which offer malpractice insurance, but the deductibles and insurance rates offered by each company differ. This type of insurance pays for defense of an attorney, besides any fines in terms of money which he may have to pay. Let's take an example, say a attorney, due to lack of knowledge of a particular law lost a lawsuit. If the client files a lawsuit against the attorney, the attorney is liable to pay the expenses if he is found in error. This is where a attorney with malpractice insurance would be saved of a hole in his pocket as it's the insurance company which would pay the client.

Make a Thanksgiving Cornucopia
By: Caley Walsh for FaveCrafts.com
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
The cornucopia is a classic symbol of plenty at Thanksgiving. The original horn-shaped basket comes from a Greek myth. A nymph, Amaltheia, raised the god Zeus and nourished him with a broken goat's horn that would always refill with food and drink when empty. This was the first horn of plenty. Make your own cornucopia for a Thanksgiving centerpiece and tell the story to your guests. This homemade Thanksgiving cornucopia is just what you need for a traditional celebration that will always be remembered.
3 Ideas for the Cornucopia Base
Buy a ready-made cornucopia basket at the store or a cone-shaped basket at the craft store. Steam the narrow end of the cone basket and bend it slightly to resemble a cornucopia.
For an even more DIY touch, make your cornucopia basket out of bread. You basically make a cone mold out of aluminum foil and bake around this mold. Juggling Frogs blog has a great pictoral, step-by-step tutorial for how to make a bread cornucopia.
If you want a cornucopia with a bit more lasting power, make a rustic creation with wire netting (chicken wire), aluminum foil, and burlap. Simply shape the wire into a cone shape and twist at the end for the goat's horn look. Cover the wire completely with aluminum foil. Just like in papier mache, dip the burlap pieces into a glue and water mixture (2 parts glue to 1 part water). Run the strips through your fingers to remove excess glue and place on your cornucopia mold. Repeat, overlapping the burlap pieces, until completely covered. Let dry overnight and then carefully cut out the aluminum foil and wire mixture from your burlap cornucopia. The glue will conveniently not stick the foil.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Small Kitchen DIY Fixes: Submit Your Stories
- Jacquilynne Mar 9, 2007 04:17 PM
Do you have a small kitchen that you tweaked to make work better? Did you come up with a creative solution that involved building something or adapting something for a new purpose? Tell us the problem that existed before and what you did to fix it -- and upload a photo that shows the final version. We may include your photo and description, credited to you, in an upcoming story on kitchen fixes on CHOW.
Here's an example of a submission (including the photo below):
Inspired by small apartment kitchens we saw on a trip to Italy, my husband and I sawed the inside out of a board, leaving only a frame. Then we dismantled a store-bought wooden dish drying rack, and inserted one side of the rack inside the sawed out board. We mounted this slatted shelf above the sink and put our wet dishes in it to dry. The water drips into the sink, and it saves precious counter space.
-- Jacquilynne, posting on behalf of CHOW
re: toodie jane
Can you not see the photo I attached? It's just above my avatar.
Back in the day when I had a smaller kitchen I noticed that my pots and pans and wine glasses were all taking up a lot of my space- there are tons of metal hanging racks around that can keep these things way off the counter and still reachable. Additionally, magnetic spice racks to attach to the fridge and magnetic knife racks keep things out of drawers.
I also did something recently that has seriously helped me out- I tagged everything with a piece of tape and a date. When I use it I remove the tape. Anything still tagged in 6 mo is going to the Goodwill.
re: jpschust
Someone else on these boards (I forgot who, sorry) had a great suggestion.
She packed all her kitchen stuff up in boxes and put them in a closet on the other side of the house. Whenever she needed to use something, she'd go to the closet, get it out of the box, use it, wash it and put it away in the kitchen. At the end of one year, whatever she hadn't used was already boxed up and ready to be donated!
re: Covert Ops
Amen to that. I am doing the same thing with the items in my basement. I swear, it's bed, bath and beyond down there
re: jpschust
I'd be in big trouble if I did that--I have lots of things I use exclusively during the holidays, and I bet lots of others do too ;)
re: foiegras
Just make yours 1 year. . .if it isn't used in a full year, it doesn't serve any purpose, including holidays, so free yourself of it! :-)
re: Covert Ops
I've often heard this theory - and I just don't buy it. Maybe it works for others, but not for me. Just because I don't use something often doesn't mean I'll never want to use it. I AM careful about what I buy - we don't have a large house so we do have to be careful about the amount of stuff that accumulates. But, for example, I am a baker and have some pans that may only get used every couple of years or so - that doesn't mean I should get rid of them. I've always heard this theory applied to clothes as well - again for every day stuff this might be true, but I have some gowns that i don't have a lot of call for - doesn't mean I'm packing them up & donating to the salvation army.
I too, am blessed with a tiny kitchen. We are in the middle of a remodel. So I don't really have any suggestions for anyone that is just looking to make small adjustments but here are the things that we did to make the most of our limited space. I also admit that we have not yet lived with the kitchen so we don't know whether these fixes will actually translate into better kitchen usage.
1 - we decided to go with a narrow dishwasher (18") there's only two of us so we can just run it more often if need be.
2 - we went with a narrow but taller fridge. It's a liebherr and we liked the look of it but haven't actually tried it out. we are hoping that the smaller footprint makes the space more workable and are also hoping that the height makes up for the lost width.
3 - we had a little bit of leftover space in the lower cabinets so we made a slot for flat items like cookie sheets, shallow baking pans and trays. trying to fit those into the cabinets in the past was always a headache. i think it will be nice to have a space dedicated to them now.
I do like the idea of leaving things out of the kitchen and only bringing what you need to use.
We also have a tiny galley kitchen and are in the middle of a spruce-up/minor redo right now, pending a complete gutting and redo in about five years. So far the things that have made the most difference:
For utlization of space:
A complete purge of every drawer, cabinet and countertop item in the kitchen. We were ruthless about it.
Instead of stacking my bakeware, I stood it all on its side. I know most people already do this, and I can't believe it took me 15 years of tiny kitchens to figure it out. Now, muffin tins, brownie pans, cake pans, springform pans, etc. are standing on their side in the cabinet. It's so much easier to get to everything - no more emptying out the entire cabinet to reach something stacked underneath everything else in the back.
Purchased Stainless Steel roller racks - Our house is old and the cabinets are just big empty spaces with a door. New cabinets are pending, but in the meantime, this has really helped make the back of the cabinets accessible and again, make it possible to reach items without having to unload the entire cabinet.
We ripped up two layers of horrible vinyl flooring to expose tongue-in-groove heart pine flooring underneath. Lucky us! When we finish the other cosmetic things, we'll refinish the floor.
We removed the horrible fillthy ceiling fan and are replacing it with a long track lighting piece that will allow us to point lights into different areas of the kitchen.
We are scraping and repainting the ceiling today (I'm posting while I'm waiting for the primer to dry.)
We are repainting the walls.
I am clearing off the countertops and storing items that have previously taken up counter space. It looks cleaner, and the lack of clutter really helps make cooking more efficient.
re: Andiereid
Please tell me how you get the bakeware items to stay on their sides? Do you just use a plate holder? Can't believe I never thought of this. I use one for the corning ware lids, and pot lids. I will have to try this for bakeware in my other cabinets.(I have separate sets of bakeware for dairy, meat, and parve. Major storage headache), Thanks!!!
I have a 4-5" wide lower cabinet next to my fridge, which is great for trays, cookie sheets, cooling racks, etc.
Thanks, p.j.
re: farmersdaughter
I have a wire rack insert to my roasting pan that I only use every 2 or 3 years when I have to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. I turned it upside down and use it to hold my baking pans upright.
re: farmersdaughter
What a BRILLIANT idea!
I have the cookie sheets and roasters in a cabinet that's hard to get to and the darn things keep falling over. I searched the office supply places on-line and found a wire organizer that has adjustable dividers. It should work great.
Thanks for the tip!
re: Andiereid
Hah, Andie!
Well, I will try the wire-rack/file-folder holder methods and see what works best for our stuff.
Thanks, p.j.
re: Andiereid
Where did you find the roller racks? (Wondering if they're online or at some chain store.)
re: Cinnamon
Whoops - missed this - sorry Cinnamon it's been a while, hope you still get this. I got the racks at a place in town called Space Savers, but it's a knock off of The Container Store, basically. Anyplace like that that specializes in storage should have something similar.
re: Andiereid
don't forget to use the same trick for all your squirrely pot lids, organized by size, of course!
re: Andiereid
What a beautiful feeling all thet must have given you. Thanks for sharing. I used a stapler to fix chopsticks to the shelves in the cabinet to keep the platters, piepans, and other bakeware from sliding. I've thought of using those steel bookends they sell at the stationery stores, but haven't yet put them to work.
re: mymymichl
Oh my... your chopstick idea is truely brilliant!
re: Andiereid
Finally finished the project and am posting some pictures of the finished kitchen refurb. The first two are the before in the kitchen. This thing has been a major project, but we're pleased with how it turned out. Things I'm most pleased with:
1. The removal of the vinyl and the refinished pine floor makes the biggest difference. Much cleaner, more classic look.
2. The new cabinet my husband built has made a huge difference in what I can store and the amount of junk out. I'm now able to store all the stuff that was on top of the fridge (bread, potatoes, onions) in baskets inside a cabinet, and the kitchen looks much cleaner and more streamlined now.
3. The new light fixture allows me to point light to different areas of the kitchen and gives good light for cooking as well as looking tons better than that horrible old fixture we had in there.
We are on the last leg of a complete kitchen/dining gut and rebuild -- on a budget (though we have a great contractor.) Ikea cabinets. The main trick was punching a hole in the attached powder room to fit a microwave/convection oven 12" into the space, so it would fit into a 12" counter-depth wall space. The box that juts out is really more discreet than I imagined, and it's over the toilet, so not in the way. Architect friend thought of it! It means we can "build it in" without taking up a bigger footprint.
re: fishcake
We did a huge, whole house remodel/addition a few years ago. I was amazed at some of the creative things the "pros" (architect/contractor) came up with that we would never have thought of. Yours sounds just like one of those.
Our apartment kitchen is truly tiny and it doesn't have a pantry or any decent space to keep stuff - I took over half the closet in the livingroom to be my pantry and have the cans all neatly sorted out on one shelf...
And I store my small collection of bakeware in the warming drawer under the oven. It's not ideal because the drawer is TINY, but at least it's out of the way.
re: davina
My Smurf-sized kitchen photos are enclosed. Please note that I rent, so all these solutions were concocted because remodling to add a different fridge or better cabinets wasn't possible.
Let me see what tips I might be able to offer:
- The biggest tip is KEEP IT CLEAN. I finally realized that, as much as I am remiss to throw them away, I simply can't be keeping all the plastic grocery bags I bring home from the store or every Whole Foods soup tub. I either bring a canvas bag to the store or ask for paper so that I can reuse the bags for taking out recycling, storing mushrooms, draining fried foods, etc. When in doubt, throw it out. I did a ruthless kitchen purge this weekend and actually got 3 black trashbags out of that space, believe it or not.
- I got the kitchen cart/table because I didn't have enough space to work- I thought it would just be an accessory/sometimes workspace when entertaining, but it is the ONLY counterspace I use. When I have big jobs to do, I also have a behemouth plastic cutting board that can go over two burners of the stove to serve as extra space. The kitchen cart also has a wire drawer that is perfect for produce, so it's served as really useful extra storage.
- Think up! I have high ceilings and a ledge above my cabinets, so I store everything I need for entertaining, as well as Costco items up top. Just put them in matching cloth bins (The Container Store) and they don't look out of place. Also, matching canisters are a joy! I keep all my Indian cooking herbs in one, my Italian herbs in another, etc... this way, I don't get Cardamom pod taste in my dried goods or other herbs as can happen with small cabinets. Also, not having the little baggies and canisters of herbs is a huge help and i don't have to dig when I want to make an Indian dish. I rarely keep things in the original packaging.
- I have an old ironing board nook built into the kitchen that someone turned into the perfect shelving for all my spices. I love it!
- I have a fold-away dishrack (Grundal by Ikea) that allows me to use the tin draining board for other things/counterspace. This also has hooks on it to store oft-used utensils like tongs.
- I put my most-used dried herbs in magnetic canisters on the side of the fridge- right next to the stove, convenient!
- Many of my cabinets are vintage glass-fronted (My place was built in 1906 and my apartment was originally the servant's quarters/house kitchen to an adjacent grand flat that was split into several apartments. It has the original concrete sink under the tin drainboard. Which is awesome, I suppose, if you ever find yourself on your back in the kitchen looking for vintage touches. Otherwise, it just takes up precious under-counter space.) At any rate, I was pretty insistent on being matchy-matchy with things like my small appliances (all red) and dishware, so that the storage doubles as decorative. Note the collection of vintage Taco Bell Smurfs glasses.
I, to, use other tricks like the file-storage-potlid-rack and over-the-sink drainer for prepping veggies (though my sink is not in any way standard, so it doesn't stay put. My sink, in fact, has a bathtub drain. How's that for a pain?)
I also have no Dishwasher but found that the Scotch Brite scrubby-sponge-on-a-stick-with-soap-filled-handle makes dishes totally bearable.
Edit! Another tip: I had printed out, scribble-on magazine clippings and random recipes coming out every nook and cranny of the kitchen. I finally bought an in-notebook three-hole punch and notebook to keep them in. Sure, they're not organized alphabetically in plastic sleves with colored dividers, but at least they are out of the way and accessible.
re: Chowsmurf
Keep it clean, AMEN! One thing a tiny kitchen has taught me: do dishes while you work. If I have any idle moment during cooking, I use it to wash whatever dishes I've already used. The dishes pile up fast and just take up space.
We use plastic grocery bags for our trash, but we keep them in a handy pull-out rack under the sink. We also reuse other plastic bags and hang those on a hook inside the undersink door--and we also have three shelves under the sink, and various wire baskets to hold cleaning supplies.
And "think up" is definitely the way to go! That said, living in San Francisco, we had a tremor a few weeks ago while we stood in the kitchen, and I have nightmares about a glass jar of bulk couscous tumbling five feet onto my head. But being that it's a small kitchen, it's only a step to the living room. :)
We not only have a galley kitchen, but we also live in an apartment--no chance of upgrading the stove or refrigerator unless they both break down miserably. So we've made do. Fortunately, my fiance is very handy around the house.
1. Shelves, shelves, shelves. We have shelves going up the side of our doorjamb (no photo of that yet); along the top of our doorjamb; he removed the doors on the cabinets so the shelves are exposed; and he recently added new shelves to the top of the refrigerator.
2. Hanging pot rack AND two hanging utensil racks near the stove.
3. Use the space near the stove for a rolling rack and toaster oven (not shown in this picture).
4. Pegboard!
5. Built a shelf between the refrigerator and sink to support some extra space and our dishrack.
6. And the piece de la resistance: He stained and cut a $10 piece of plywood to extend the length of our kitchen counter AND create a garbage hole. It's so incredibly convenient that I'll cry if our next home doesn't have a similar feature. Another feature: The trash can is on a shelf, so the recycling bin fits beneath it.
These photos show the left and right side of the kitchen; the linoleum meets in the middle. We have about 2 1/2 feet clearance between counters.
If you need more recent photos (they really just include more shelves) let me know.
re: MuppetGrrl
I have a shotgun kitchen, but luckily I also have a pantry (a former coat closet the previous owner converted.) I keep only dishes and glassware in my cupboards. All food goes in the pantry, along with cookware and pots and pans. I hung a sturdy bar with S-hooks so I can slide the pots and pans around as I need them. There is also a rung near the floor where I keep a broom and dustpan and prop bottles of water.
re: brendastarlet
we converted our Coat Closet into a pantry as well, and we keep all of our dry goods in there, along with the Dog Food and all of our bags that we reuse...it really helped us make more space!
re: MuppetGrrl
That counter top with trash-hole is brilliant!! Must go in the article!!
re: MuppetGrrl
PPK MuppetGrrl!
Our small kitchen in San Francisco seemed even smaller and oppressive before we changed a few key things (Photos 1, 2). A few years back we had it "refaced" and covered the hideous faux oak cabinets from 1987. We were then able to move the refrigerator 12" and eliminated a weird lower half cabinet that was orphaned next to the fridge. An above-fridge cabinet was built that was deep enough to accommodate our cookie trays and other items too long previously for other cabinets. In addition, we added a cabinet large enough to hold spices and oils. The spices are kept in small bins http://www.containerstore.com/browse/... that make it easy to slide out and access the spices instead of rooting to the back of a cabinet. It took me a few tries to find the right size bins for the cabinet.
One more built-in solution was to add 'pantry slider' units to a narrow lower cabinet next to the fridge.(Photo 3) Since we lack a real pantry (or any closet options), this was a great option. It's surprising how many cans and jars can be stored in this cabinet.
In addition, there were some easier changes we made in this small kitchen that changed it into a convenient place to cook.
Moving the knives out of a drawer makes them not only handy but safer (Photo 4
)Installing a microwave-hood combo installation isn't something that everyone with a small kitchen can do, but it freed up space on the countertop and created venting that we didn't previously have (Photo 5)
I love vintage kitchen wares and kept this foil/wax paper/paper towel dispenser around until I had a place for it (Photo 6). In addition to being vintage-chic, it keeps these items off the counter and out of drawers and frees up space for other things.
Despite a few round of improper hanging, one round which dented my otherwise pristine solid chrome Ice-O-Matic vintage ice crusher, these shelves serve as the pantry that we're otherwise missing. Both the selves and the glass canisters that contain the dry-good were both found at your local bargain Swedish high design retailer. (Photos 11,12)
Using other spaces:
Even though we didn't have an extra closet or other space (or garage, ha!), we were able to use the dining room area for 'decorative' storage of glassware, serving pieces, and cookbooks. These pieces are still accessible, but the corners of the room are dressed up with cabinetry. The cookbook storage built-on serves a multiple purpose of providing seating for guests, cookbook storage, as well as a electronics charging station behind the cabinet doors. (Photos 7,8)
Making nearly everything movable allows one to reconfigure desirable spaces as needed. Putting all out cooking utensils in upright canisters (Photo 9) makes them visible and within arms reach while cooking as well as freeing up hard faugh drawer space. When more counter-prep space is needed, they can be shoved out of the way.
The stainless cart (which had previous lives as in a surgery suite and a home for a TV and VCR) is a perfect place for the recycling bin as well as an infrequent third station for food prep (Photo 10). It holds canisters when off-duty but is small enough to make a great, flexible chopping station when the rest of the counter is full. Casters are key!
We cook most nights of the week and have spent four years tweaking out kitchen setup. While these suggestions aren't for everyone, we've found that they make our small kitchen cozy and utterly workable.

This looks super - where did you fnd those nice-looking stainless shelves, if you don't mind my asking?
re: chitta chef
Hi chitta chef - I just finished reading 5 and Dime's post - look's like the shelves were purchased at Ikea. I like them too - looks like i'm going to have to take a trip to my "local bargain Swedish high design retailer!"
re: flourgirl
Oh yeah, me too!
re: 5 and Dime Eater
I LOVE your dispenser for foil, wax paper, paper towels, etc. Where did you find that?!
re: morgblorg
They were quite common in the 50's and 60's and as a matter of fact a few weeks ago the local Thrift Store (used items) had 3. I let it slip to my sister and she got all of them. Her and her friends are into the retro items, big time.
Just keep on the lookout for them at other used item places.
re: 5 and Dime Eater
Oh... 5 and Dime, you give me such hope! I used to dream of a "huge" kitchen, but you've shown me that a beautiful and functional space can be had in a smaller space.
My not-very-helpful take on the small kitchen issue is... live with the smallest kitchen imaginable for a while (I call mine the Barbie Dream Kitchen, complete with tiny Babie Dream Stove!) and then anything will seem huge! The last photo is the entry to my pantry - which is literally half the size of my kitchen (and thank God for it, and for tall metal shelving found at the local hardware store!).
Jacquilynne -
I'd like to suggest a change to the heading of this post, maybe something like, "Small Kitchen DIY Fixes: Request for Story Ideas" or something. You might get more responses. I've seen this topic for a while without opening it because I didn't realize it was an actual request, but if I come up with something I can share I'll bring in a photo.
re: Niblet
Thanks for the idea, I've changed it.
We have no cupboards (rental), just a pantry with shelves, so I got a pegboard and put it above the stove for the pans. It's convenient and space-saving.
In case the photo attachment doesn't work: http://flickr.com/photos/fotolulu/100...
That one is interesting, Jacquilynne.
Right above the sink, I added a 6" deep board across it, that is supported on both sides from under the 2 adjacent cabinets. Along the upper portion of the window frame I added a 1(h) x 1/4 inch thick strip to hang some bbq hangers off of to hang up my spoons and turners collection.
Unfortunately I was more interested in getting the light above the sink in place than cleaning. Later, I found a way the hide the cord.
re: RShea78
I just took a better picture. (That cord just drove me batty) ;-)
I took the door off the kitchen cabinet right next to my stove. I keep all the ingredients that I frequently reach for while cooking there--olive oil, oil, vinegar, sweetners, sherry, pepper flakes, etc.--so they're right there when I need them. No need to open cabinets with food-covered hands or rifle through things on the fly!
We figured out where we did things in our kitchen and then store the relevant tools as close as possible. Thus, knives are on a wall-mounted magnetic rack next to the area where we chop food; pasta is in a drawer next to the stove, spices and oils are in a closed cabinet near the stove, the espresso machine is near the coffee, etc. It is not perfect. There is only so much we could do given the layout of our existing kitchen but it is better than it was.
We have also gathered all our cookbooks together in a bookshelf next to the kitchen door. That way they don't get all greasy from frying pan fumes but are still close at hand. We have also put all recipes we have cut out of magazines, etc. in a 3-ring binder with clear plastic pocket pages, trying somewhat haphazardly to organize them by ingredients or meals.
Sorry I don't have any photos.
If you have a pantry with deep shelving and limited lighting, it's almost impossible to see small items that invariably get pushed to the back. I saw a tip where you can take 2 X 4s and fit them width-wise on the shelves and stair step them so you can stack stuff on them and see them especially same sized spice bottles.
our kitchen is a decent size but it has space issues relating to the fact that some rooms in the house are only accessable by walking thru it (not just thru it, around a big cabinet/counter peninsula) so that you must circuit the entire room to get thru; like the bathroom-- a huge pain when doing a dinner party to have a constant parade in both directions. on the other hand, it currently has 2 fridges, which is nice, but leaves us really short on counterspace. i frequently prep on a board over the sink, or set a mise on a board over a pulled out drawer. there was a schlocky wreath hook on the back door which is handy for hanging a knife roll, then you don't forget it in the morning, either. otherwise magnetic knife racks rule (see 5 and dime's photo). put hooks on the sides of cabinets and hang up your most used items. buy a desktop paintbrush organizer from an artist's supply and use it to store all of your spoons, whisks, wine service, thermometers, peeler, masher, anything that can go vertical-- & get a rotating one so you can spin it around and find the wee items. then you only really need 2 drawers, (one for everyday flatware, one for everything else) a good thing, because that's all i currently have.
if you have your upstairs' staircase off of your kitchen, like we do, you can put very small shelves, just wide enough for 15oz cans and the like, on the back of each tread, as the last family who lived here did--glad to see i'm not the only one with storage problems.
I attached spice racks to the outside of our summer house kitchen cabinets, making room inside for other things, and keeping the spices where I can easily see and get at them.
Needless to say, the ground spices and dry herbs get dumped at the end of the season and replaced with fresher ones next spring. Last summer I harvested al the fresh herbs and let them fan dry on racks for a few days. I had the best tasting herbs all winter long; they were far superior to the stale ones I can get at the markets, and lots cheaper, too.
This is a Finnish invention. Almost all (maybe all?) Finnish houses have this ready in their kitchens. This helped women's emansipation and saved their time for other things, not only house hold chores. (for those who don't know, Finland is an EU country close to Sweden, Finnish design might be of interest to those who like Scandinavian style)
re: chitta chef
I just found this thread so this is really late. We have one of those racks at the end of the kitchen. I bought two cheap (but attractive!) curtain panels and put them across the rack on a tension rod. Although they mostly stay open, I can close them when guests come over. You're right. It holds everything including the microwave. Couldn't do without it.
Espresso machine wasn't really tall enough to get a large milk pitcher comfortably under the frothing wand. So I went to Lowe's and got some black rubber crutch tips which fit perfectly over the machine's "tiny feet" as Rancilio calls them in its instruction manual.
Boosts the machine about an inch and a half higher, plus the rubber tips help to keep the machine from skidding when I am using force in the process of engaging the portafilter.
I've taken to using small hooks in the wall to hang pans, cutting boards, graters, assorted flat stuff.
A friend of mine had the great idea to use non essential appliances and a large set of serving bowls as bookends and in display areas.
Great ideas everyone. I just moved into my boyfriend's place and it is tiny! We just installed a dishwasher and oven- the first ever in his house- but it took away all of our cabinet space. Our ceilings are low so I'm trying to make the most out of every inch. I brought my stainless steel shelf and I'm thinking about getting some hooks to hang my pots and pans off of. We have one cabinet that holds some spices, our plates and glasses. Unfortunately we both have a large assortment of kitchen items so we were out of space before we even began. If anyone else is in the same predicament, I would to hear what they did to fix it. All of the ideas I have read so far have been great. Thank you!
re: RebJaeBoe
i have been thinking that although our kitchen has space and storage issues, our dining room is HUGE and it's a lot of wasted space. i'm going to buy some cheap bookshelves and move a lot of kitchen storage to the dining area instead. in the past i've morphed entry areas and porches, even the 1st 2 feet into a study into pseudo-pantries. . . maybe canned goods would be weird but serving bowls etc can look just as attractive on the shelves as books-- especially if they're cookbooks.
re: soupkitten
You may want to consider what I did, I went to an unfinished furniture store & bought 2 armoires. One was $99 & the larger was $149. All wood, very nice.
I have used these in various rooms & you have given me the idea to move one to the dining room to use as kitchen storage. Thanks! I already have a huge wooden bookshelf in the kitchen which I use as a pantry. I have hung white tab top shower curtains from the top of the inside of the bookshelf as a curtain. It looks great & hides the cans, jars & a few appliances (rotisserie, popcorn popper, etc). Sorry no photos!
re: soupkitten
My sister has a baker's rack in her DR where she stores cookbooks, copper molds, etc.
I have a small galley kitchen with a false ceiling -- so no potrack. Instead, in the garage (which is right at the end of the kitchen) I got overhead storage racks that are a grid. So, I store stuff on top and hang my pots. It's terrific. I also had a blank wall and I hung a rack there. Now, all the stuff that I use all the time hangs there.
re: padance
Our kitchen sits above our basement where we do laundry. I had the contractor cut a hole in the floor under the sink and install as small lid and I use it to drop dirty dishrags down. So convenient! We also did a lot of using of the walls for things like knives, etc. IKEA has some great storage stuff along those lines.
My situation is quite a bit more restricted than most. I live in an apartment that I can't permanently modify with plaster walls that won't support the weight of added shelves or even pegboards. It also has almost no built-in shelving and, being a Tokyo apartment, is quite small. I did a few blog posts on the things I do for coping with living in such a cramped area. Most of the kitchen-related pictures and ideas are here: http://myso-calledjapaneselife.blogsp...
I think advice for sub-dividing larger spaces is the most useful since getting custom storage for your particular needs is almost impossible.
Here is a link to a photo gallery of our entire recent kitchen refurb process, for anyone interested. (see my earlier posts)
re: Andiereid
Congratulations on surviving the process and doing all that work. Whew! I don't know if I would get rid of those refurbished solid wood cabinets, after all that. I guess in 5 yrs. you might be willing to do so.
I really like your track light. Would you be willing to divulge the source/manufacturer? While I have a 4-light track over the island between our dining room and kitchen, I have never purchased a fixture for the middle of the kitchen ceiling, where a bare bulb hangs from a contractor's temp. socket. I always intended to put in a fan, and now that I have a pilot-less stove, I can do it. But I love that track light of yours! I do have under-the cabinet florescents, and a downspot over the sink/dishwasher, as well as a light in the stove hood.
Thanks, and enjoy the renovated space in good health! p.j.
re: p.j.
Thanks, p.j. Those cabinets are just crappy plywood homemade jobs that someone did years ago and they suck. I'll be happy to get them pulled out of there and put something nicer in. I'll also be glad to get rid of that horrible, useless tile countertop too. But at least now the wait will be more pleasant.
We just picked that light fixture up at Home Depot - I want to say it was right around a hundred bucks. They have a pretty nice variety of track light fixtures, actually. We're pretty happy with it - I've got lights pointing in all the spots I need it and it does a pretty good job of illuminating.
re: Andiereid
Thanks, Andie. I will have to take a look at HD.
Have a good weekend, p.j.
If you consider space usage/specialization we have modified our 20 x 20 kitchen into a galley kitchen and "keeping" room. The house is a colonial reproduction built to our specs with modern ideas thrown in eg a upstairs "pantry" which the archetect intended for washer dryer use. The idea of a water over spill on hardwood flooring drove us to put the washer dryer fixtures in the cellar and utilize the pantry for just that. More than half is dedicated to other than every day plates/dishes etc - the rest to normal pantry items ie foods bought in bulk. Really large bulk food and paper items are relegated to additional shelving at the foot of the cellar stair and arranged in sections depending on usage (spices, stocks, sauces, oils, vinegar etc). It has worked well for us and allows us the extra space to take advantage of sale items in quantity that would overwhelm the real operating kitchen. The keeping room area is furnished as a sitting and dining area (for every day casual use) thus saving the more formal dining to be reserved to the great room.
This is a v. minor thing that I did, but has made our small refrigerator much more organized. At my father's suggestion, we bought two stainless steel lazy susans for the refrigerator and store a lot of our condiments on them. No more digging into the back for jars, and a lot more room for other things.
Also, using square/rectangular food storage containers uses the space more efficiently
I use the drawer on the left to store cheeses - that way all the little wrapped up packages are in one place and I don't have to rummage about for them.
re: MMRuth
Regarding throwing things out that you don't use... for most people, that probably makes sense. For me, collecting kitchen gadgets is a hobby of mine. The weird tool I only bust out once every two years or so, I get great pleasure from doing that. So that theory doesn't work at all for me. heh, and I'm having a terrible time convincing my fiancee of that.
But yeah, for most people, that makes sense.
re: MMRuth
i have a cheese drawer too!
most of my condiments or sauces are in the very well spaced out door and so i have no need for a lazy susan, but that would certainly help with reminding me what's in the fridge, especially in the back.
Hi. I had the smallest kitchen in the universe! I would suggest one tip - hooks. Hooks for everything, saucepans, sieves, teatowels, etc. I've also made a blog all about how cook lovely food in your own smallest kitchen. The blog is at http://thesmallestkitchen.wordpress.com
We have a small kitchen which we're currently renovating. One thing we did a while back was replace the washer and dryer which are in one part of the kitchen. We bought a front-loading washer and my husband built a counter top to place on top of them. We keep the Champion Juicer (when not in use...we also have a Vitamix which we use more often), a basket with bags of cereal, corn chips, etc in it, things like onions and apples which don't need refrigeration, and a dehydrator (when not in use) there. My husband also built a custom greenhouse window (a pre-made one wouldn't fit since our kitchen wall is so close to the property line) so we can grow herbs and get more natural light in the kitchen.
We often don't use enough of the right combination of dishes to run the dishwasher, so we use it as a drainer.
If I can find photos of the garden window and counter over the washer and dryer, I'll post them later.
re: rellimkm
I love it! The "brackets" are so sleek and you've hung it high which I like. I'll be pass this along to my handy husband :) Thanks.
Indeed, keeping it clean is the key. hanging things that are used often is helpful, i have my spice rack and my tool basket hung over the sink. but i wouldn't advise hanging or exposed storage for items NOT used very often...they gather grease and dust. and if you have a very tiny kitchen lose the dishwasher...not only is it greener, but it forces you to clean and reuse fewer tools and dishes. I collect cookware geared for small portions and some of them i don't use very often, these i store up out of reach, everything i use frequently is in easy reach. also remove your cookbooks from the kitchen, in a small kitchen the cookbooks are being exposed to foot particles, heat and dirt. clippings, recipe cards and loose pages, i scan into the computer and toss. I have 2 small drawers in my tiny kitchen, so I use one of those over the back of the door shoe rack things. the pockets are net and hold all the things that used to be in my JUNK drawer: batteries, fuses, menus, travel mugs. now i have a second drawer for kitchen tools, can openers, shears, cookie cutters. Get rid of as many electric gadgets as you can. I am down to just a stick blender with attachments stored in a plastic shoe box under the sink. The microwave is on top of the fridge and my lovely faithful kitchen aid is in a closet. 8( hand tools are easier to clean store and don't need electrical cords. if i had a choice i would remove my stove and replace it with just a stove top. I cook for one and there is absolutely NO sense in heating up a entire oven, even a 22" one, to cook small things. I haven't used my gas oven in 7 years and can cook anything short of a whole turkey in my 2-tier countertop model.
I use belt hangers with several hooks to hang spoons, spatulas, etc. from a tension rod across the top of my pantry.
I did a diy kitchen update about 4 years ago. You can read about it on my blog at dianabuild.com if you want. What I want to share here is the solution to a cookbook shelf when you have precious little wall space in your kitchen. I built an partially inset shelf between two adjoining sets of studs in a pass through wall. This is coming into the kitchen from the breezeway. The kitchen is 12x12 with a hallway (included in the dimensions) passing through and cabinets and appliances on the other three walls. This was a really fun project!

present value than discounting cash flows on an asset with five years of useful life. Infrastructures for electric, natural gas, and water facilities have very long asset lives; therefore impairment of companies in the utilities industry likely will be more significant than impairment of companies in other industries. Further, the utility sector is subject to regulatory and legislative oversight and the useful life of assets might depend on regulatory and legislative developments.
A second consideration is that IFRS allows for upward revaluations of assets, which increases the book value of these assets so they're more in line with their fair value. In this regard, it's important to note that carbon legislation could make renewable investments much more valuable. This is an important aspect of regulation as, for example, power plants, pipelines, etc., are only useful if they have regulatory approval to operate. It has been increasingly common for regulators to extend the lives of some long-lived assets, thereby increasing the market value of these assets while the book value remains the same. Companies following IFRS could potentially take advantage of this by adjusting the book value of these assets upwards. Such an option isn't available for firms following GAAP.
Fair Value for Contracts
Many utilities procure commodities ( e.g., electricity) through contracts. If, for example, the contract involves procuring electricity for customers, utilities will often rely on the so-called normal purchases and sale exemption under U.S. GAAP. This allows them to reflect the results of the transaction in income only when the contract has settled— i.e., they can opt out of fair value accounting for these contracts. 15 During times of fluctuating commodity prices, opting out of fair value accounting for the procurement of electricity or other commodities is likely to make the utility's income and assets less volatile. While IFRS has an "own use" exemption, the limitations of own use accounting are stricter than those pertaining to normal purchase and sale. As a result, some utilities that currently rely on the normal purchase and sales exemption likely will need to switch to fair value accounting for some commodities contracts. 16 Many power purchase contracts that currently are treated as off balance-sheet operating leases will become on balance-sheet leases, and both the power company and the utility will have to disclose lease related revenues and expenses.
This treatment will result in a "bulking up" of the balance sheet and, because some gains and losses in the fair value of contracts are recognized in income, income might become more volatile.
It's therefore important that regulators, utilities and other stakeholders consider the potential impact on ratemaking initiatives that involve periodical reviews of realized return on equity. Specifically, it might be necessary to change the determination of whether a utility has earned substantially more or less than intended under an incentive-based mechanism or under any other mechanism that calls for the utility to share earnings in excess of a preset amount with customers. Among the ways to make this determination, utilities can: 1) recognize the increased volatility and therefore increase the band around

Sexual violence is common in humanitarian settings. It may become more acute in the wake of a natural disaster and occurs at every stage of a conflict. The victims are usually women and adolescents, who have often been separated from their families and communities and whose care-taking roles increase their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse. Breakdowns in law and order and in protective societal norms mean that most perpetrators abuse with impunity.
In many conflicts, women's bodies become battlegrounds, with rape used as a method of warfare to humiliate, dominate or disrupt social ties. In the aftermath of natural disasters, women and young people may be left unaccompanied -- out in the open or in temporary shelters -- at the same time that security lapses lead to increased lawlessness and chaos.
The impact of sexual violence, especially rape, can be devastating. Physical consequences include injuries, unwanted pregnancies, fistula and HIV. Widespread sexual violence is also endemic in many post-conflict situations, where it can perpetuate a cycle of anxiety and fear that impedes recovery. However, because reliable data about sexual violence in these situations is scarce, UNFPA is spearheading efforts to determine the scope of the problem in many different contexts.
Addressing Harmful Traditions in a Refugee Camp in ChadThe air at the Touloum refugee camp in eastern Chad, is eerily calm. Many of the 23,000 refugees have been here since 2004, when they fled violence in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Sexual violence is not inevitable. Better policing, involving women in the design of humanitarian assistance, working with displaced communities to develop systems of protection, and ending impunity for perpetrators are just a few of the actions that can help to minimize sexual violence. Information campaigns and community education can help to raise awareness of the issue, stimulate community dialogue, reduce stigma, and encourage survivors to report incidents and seek care. Effective campaigns positively engage men and promote reflection about cultural attitudes and gender inequalities that perpetuate violence against women.
- In Colombia, UNFPA's advocacy on sexual violence issues resulted in improved policies for women, including a law on the prevention of sexual violence and legal enforcement for perpetrators of rape.
- In Afghanistan, UNFPA supported the Afghan National Police to set up a centre that specifically deals with family violence and female crime victims and which is staffed by Afghan policewomen.
- In the Democratic Republic of Congo, UNFPA has trained and financially supported police units for Women and Children Protection Sections, and has engaged community groups to educate peers on the existence of these special police units and their sensitivity to the particular needs of women and children.
- In Darfur, Sudan, UNFPA-supported sexual violence committees have worked with the African Union Civil Police to arrange escorts for women and girls during firewood collection, as well as to monitor IDP camps. UNFPA has also successfully lobbied for an increased number of female Civil Police to be deployed to Darfur.
- In Liberia, UNFPA provided funding and support to the Ministry of Gender (MoG) which resulted in sexual violence being taken up within the highest levels of Government, as a core responsibility of the MoG.
- In the occupied Palestinian territories, UNFPA trained and supported gender focal points in several ministries and government-run institutions, and provided technical support to civil society organizations to institutionalize gender and human rights principles.
Legacy of War: An Epidemic of Sexual Violence in DRCThe conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)—sometimes referred to as the 'African World War'—has devastated the country since its onset in 1998. The world's deadliest conflict since World War II, it has killed 5.4 million people and displaced a million more. Despite the signing of peace accords in 2003 and again in 2008, fighting has been ongoing throughout the east, and the prevalence of rape in this region has been described as the worst in the world.
UNFPA's country offices promote a multi-sectoral, holistic approach to addressing sexual violence in humanitarian settings. Using a survivor-centred and survivor-driven approach, UNFPA provides a wide range of services to encourage social reintegration of survivors, including counseling and assistance with livelihoods. It trains police officers, lawyers and judges to ensure safe and ethical care for survivors, and works with all levels of medical professionals to foster appropriate and timely responses.
Medical treatment is critical for someone who has been sexually assaulted. Survivors need antibiotics to prevent infection and may require treatment for abrasions, tears, or traumatic fistula, a devastating but operable injury that may occur as a result of sexual assault.
In addition to physical injury, women and girls who are raped may be at risk of unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted infection. If provided in time, emergency contraception can prevent an unwanted pregnancy, and post-exposure prophylaxis can prevent the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
Much of UNFPA's work to address the issue of gender-based violence in humanitarian contexts is in the field of health response, and training other first responders (such as police and community or women's advocates) to more effectively care for sexual violence survivors. For example:
- In countries such as Central African Republic, Uganda and Nepal, UNFPA has trained health-service providers, security forces and key decision makers to effectively address sexual violence.
- In Afghanistan, where survivors of violence can often barely receive health services, UNFPA has worked through national actors to mainstream gender and human rights issues into the health service sector and successfully advocated to integrate violence against women issues into the national training curriculum for health service providers.
- In Sudan, UNFPA's work with the Government resulted in sexual violence survivors being able to directly access health services without first having to visit the police.
At the global level, in late 2007 UNFPA partnered with UNICEF to lead two regional "Caring for Survivors" workshops, in Timor-Leste and Jordan. The training focuses on building knowledge and skills in various aspects related to how responders communicate and interact with sexual violence survivors in conflict-affected settings. At the heart of this process is the emphasis on understanding and demonstrating a survivor-centred attitude, and using survivor-centred communication skills.
Clinical management of rape
Since 2005, UNFPA and UNHCR have partnered to conduct trainings for health care providers working in refugee, internally-displaced person and other humanitarian settings on the clinical management of rape survivors. The two-day curriculum includes modules on taking a survivor's history, collecting forensic evidence, examining a survivor and prescribing treatment, including emergency contraception, treatment of sexually transmitted infections and post-exposure prophylaxis to prevent the transmission of HIV. To date, UNFPA has conducted four regional training-of-trainers workshops in Geneva, Johannesburg, Nairobi and Cairo. Of those who have been trained as trainers, many are now actively engaged in training health providers in Nepal, Haiti, Liberia, Sudan, Zimbabwe and Cote d'Ivoire (among other countries). In addition, national trainings were conducted in over 10 countries, reaching nearly 500 heath-care providers.
Overall coordination
In late September 2005, as part of the humanitarian reform process, UNFPA was tasked with coordinating gender-based violence issues in humanitarian settings. Proper coordination of this complicated issue, which often engages a wide range of UN and other actors, is vital to ensuring that survivors receive adequate care, and that prevention efforts are varied, wide-reaching and appropriate. As a development agency with growing experience in humanitarian settings, UNFPA continues to forge new partnerships and to increase its human resources and technical capacities to scale up its coordination efforts.
- UNFPA has been led the roll-out and operationalization of the IASC Guidelines for Gender-Based Violence Interventions in Humanitarian Settings to ensure coordinated, cross-cluster action to prevent and respond to sexual violence.
- UNFPA has been working with partners to document 'good practices' in coordinating efforts to end gender-based violence across a range of humanitarian contexts.
- In January 2007 UNFPA helped mobilize a coalition of 12 UN entities to create UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict -- a global forum that encourages country and regional intra-UN partnerships for action.
- UNFPA is partnering with Ghent University in Belgium to train senior-level sexual violence field actors to improve their knowledge, understanding and communication skills to coordinate multi-sectoral response to sexual violence in humanitarian settings.

Stamina can not really entirely substitute for avoidance to the point where gemming every socket put stamina becomes favorable. Currently you'll often gear for "surviving an unlucky non-avoidance streak", which is sensible. However as your avoidance goes down, those streaks will become exponentially more frequent. At some point you need to start factoring unlucky healing steaks aswell, such as a paladin / disc priest failing to crit for a while.
Neither one of the 2 should typically kill a tank if both are geared properly, but if you start gearing for nothing but stamina, you'll find yourself at a point where unlucky non-avoidance streaks coincide with unlucky healing streaks so often that either your healers go OOM (IE: The paladin fails to find a time to use divine plea), or you simply just die.
I very much recommend against simply gemming everything stamina, typically socket bonuses are too good to really make that favorable (IMO).

From the picture I thought the pillow was going to be a brilliant orange, however it is more of a burnt orange. Still looks great out on my patio as my furniture is a taupe and I needed something to make it pop. I was going to send them back as I really wanted the bright orange, but after I looked at them on my chairs, I think the bright might have been too much.
I love the pillow. It looks great on my leather chair in our library room, but it's much too expensive for a pillow that size. I would recommend it but I would also explain that it's not worth the price. That's why I'm only giving it three stars.
I needed some color in the room which was mostly a moss gree. These pillows added the need ed contrast.

Some ricercari allowed each section its own theme. Others had a single theme taking on different guises within each section. Gabrieli and Frescobaldi, in particular, drew upon the form. But the style reached its zenith with the three- and six-part examples in Bach's 'Musical Offering' (1747).
That year, while visiting Potsdam, Bach was challenged by Frederick the Great to improvise a six-part ricercare. The Berlin News (11 May 1747) reported:
His Majesty was informed that Capellmeister Bach had arrived in Potsdam and was waiting in His Majesty's antechamber for His Majesty's most gracious permission to listen to the music. His August Self immediately gave orders that Bach be admitted, and went, at his entrance, to the so-called 'forte and piano', condescending also to play, in person and without any preparation, a theme to be executed by Capellmeister Bach in a fugue. This was done so happily by the aforementioned capellmeister that not only His Majesty was pleased to show his satisfaction thereat, but also those present were seized with astonishment.
During the Potsdam gathering (4 May), Bach had essayed a 3-voice fugue for the monarch. This most likely became the basis for his lighter, more questing 'Ricercare a 3' which, in turn, joined canons and a trio sonata to make up Ein musikalisches Opfer ('A Musical Offering', 1747), a conjunction of contrapuntal works, dedicated to the Prussian king. Bach's treatment of the royal theme has a variety of changing motifs. The increasing rhythmical and harmonic intensity retains its symmetry through recapitulations and later to a dimunution of motifs taken from the subject.
Bach also accepted the royal challenge and back in Leipzig fashioned what is sometimes known as his 'Prussian Fugue'—Ricercare a 6—a miracle of expressive, elaborate harmony and structural compression. Here the royal theme is enlarged with a quiet grandeur in the manner of a slow alla breve. There are extended polyphonic episodes in quadruple and triple counterpoint. A rising chromatic motif from the bass leads to the final entry of Frederick's theme.
Unlike contrapuncts within The Art of Fugue the splendour and severe lyricism of this Ricercare emerges from within the six entries and six additional statements of the theme, one in each voice. N.B. The Ricercari have no stretti, no inversions and no subsidiary themes.
From the Musical Offering it is the 6-part Ricercare alone that survives in Bach's own hand. The original print was engraved in the main by J G Schübler of Zella. Then Breitkopf of Leipzig assembled and printed the work for distribution during the town's Michaelmas fair, beginning on 1 October (1747). Bach asked for a 100-copy print run.
Apparently he distributed most of these among friends. One, on special paper, went to the king, the remainder were sold at one thaler each. His two eldest sons became agents for the 'Offering' in Halle and Berlin. This orginal edition has no consistence, either in format or pagination, though, as Cardiff University scholar Malcolm Boyd observed (1983): 'The question of a fixed order does not arise until we wish to bind the work under one cover or to perform it complete, and there is no evidence that Bach envisaged either course.'

With the April showers giving us a chill this week, we're looking to our favourite trend-setters for cold weather wardrobe tips. Step forward Alexa Chung who arrived in chilly Blighty today to remind us that every cloud has a (stylish) silver lining.
The hipster Brit proved chicness needn't go out the window when the rain sets in, giving us a masterclass in airport – let alone April – dressing. She looked as casual-cool as ever wrapped up in a snug duffle coat with a cheeky polka dot collar peeping out teamed with black skinny jeans, rock star boots and a pair of 'just-arrived-from-NY' shades. Ah, classic Chung.
Alexa Chung's duffle love
In fact, you may have noticed Alexa has quite the predilection for duffles when she's off-duty. The cute coat works brilliantly with her school-girl-esque style and tomboyish leanings, not to mention that quintessential British-ness. She often cracks out Paddington Bear's trademark garment when the colder weather hits, teaming it with a luxury bag and a pair of masculine ankle boots.
The Brit beauty even wore a navy blue version on the red carpet back in 2008 [above left] and when she rocked up to last year's opening of the swanky W Hotel, she layered her favourite duffle with wooden toggles over some double denim [above right]. Had she spent the day hiking through the English countryside? In an utterly hipster way, of course.
Yep, Chungers is a pro at keeping us on our toes, nonchalantly pulling off classic pieces mixed with a touch of quirk. As we noted in our round-up of Alexa's fashion formula, she has a timeless repertoire of chic trenches, preppy Barbours and yes, dustmen coats to top off her hipster aesthetic. So have a scroll through the gallery above and prepare to drool over Alexa's greatest outerwear hits. Needless to say, we want them ALL.

Backpack folds up to a small size and is very portable and easy to store in a shelf in the closet when not in use. Backpack material works for light duty items. If you are looking for a very strong backpack this is not it. Backpack works great for it's intended purpose of being lightweight, portable and compact when not in use.
I used this backpack while traveling abroad for souvenir-shopping & while going to the beach. It seems pretty sturdy, but not as much as a school/college backpack. I would have preferred a little bit more room inside the main compartment & an inside, small zippered pouch. It is lightweight & takes up minimal space in a suitcase. I was very glad to have it with me.
great and accurate shipping size correct for son's school usage

I'll just make my seconds spec Fury until clysm raiding begins and I can revaluate if I need a single target build.
Brage is absolutely right..... as tanks it doesn't matter one bit how hard something is about to hit if it's attached threat coefficient is lacking... I mean maybe we'll see it doing significant threat where maybe specing in to it is nice? Possibly? But as of I now I plan to not use it... (subject to change) The only spec that even makes sense for a tank at 85 is http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LGZhbZfbGdRRodbu .
To address why I did what I did: No shield spec? Rage doesn't appear to be an issue as of right now... the points in either incite/hold the line/blood and thunder will be used if rage does become a problem (probably incite or BnT depending on the situation). No safegaurd? As any good tank knows it's situational and impending victory has already been addressed.
Also, I see alot of you guys writing up different specs for trash/aoe and bosses... there isn't any point to this... only one talent is useless for a straight up one v one tank fight and that's BnT ... alot of you seem under the impression that Thunderstruck isn't useful for one v one tanking? Are you guys the same tanks that spam Deva and shield slam on proc? You understand that shockwave is used as a single target ability as well correct? And that damage does have a change over for threat.... are you guys honestly saying that having a 30% damage increase on one of your main threat gainers (after using TC's that you will be using anyway) and increased damage on TC which you use in the single target rotation as well is a bad idea?
I'll just make my seconds spec Fury until clysm raiding begins and I can revaluate if I need a single target build.
Will we be seeing official recommended specs from Tankspot?
I'd love to get PH but my keybinds are already pretty overloaded, I'm a bit worried about having to make room for another. -_-
this is probably what i would go with for tanking @ 4.0.1
with the range chance on safeguard, and me allready using it in my normal spec allready, i see it as an extra cd for the raid/ other tank, has saved someones ass more than once every raid.
http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LGZhbZf0GdRRodru . You'll notice my three points in War Academy but thats really just for a place to put them... those 3 points can be used for shield spec or blood and thunder, depending upon the situation or your play style... the differences between mine and yours other than that are maxing out field dressing.. which is kind of a no brainer (I thought at least) and maxes out cruelty which is huge ... I mean with our prime glyph for shield slam on top of that... that's just basic maxing of threat capability.

Anyone have any information at all about gemming and glyphing in the upcoming Patch??? I see quite a few threads and info on specs, yet nothing very specific about glyphs...
www.mmo-champion.com the front page as of right now has a low down on all glyphs for all classes.
Prime Glyphs are more or less set in stone:
Devastate (+5% crit)
Revenge (+10% dmg)
Shield Slam (+10%) dmg
For the Major Glyphs there are way more options:
Cleaving (+1 target)
Heroic Throw (applies 1 stack of sunder armor to the target)
Intervene (+1 hit intervened)
Long Charge (+5y range)
Rapid Charge (-7% cd -> 14s instead of 15s cd)
Piercing Howl (+50% radius)
Resonating Power (thunderclap -5 rage)
Shield Wall (+2 min cd, +20% damage reduced)
Shockwave (-3s cd)
Spell Reflection (-1s cd)
Sunder Armor (applies to a nearby target as well)
Thunder Clap (+2y range)
And finally the Minor Glyphs have only four really options:
Battle (+2 min duration, +50% range)
Command (+2 min duration, +50% range)
Demo Shout (+15s duration, +50% range)
Berserker Rage (+5 rage)
I'll go with Cleaving, Shockwave and Thunderclap for the major glyphs and Battle, Command and Demo Shout for the minor ones. But after learned once you can then easily swap one out for another with just a cheap reagent and a few clicks if needed.
Personally I kind of like the intimidating shout minor.... useful? Not really... but I'll probably using when pugging 5 mans just in case my healer is that awful and I need some extra break time.... just for funsies.
Just looked in on the PTR with my lvl. 80 warrior. I noticed that the glyphs I had are still there and can be swapped out (provided you have Vanishing Powder lol).
One thing I couldn't figure out (quickly lol) is where o leanr new glyphs. For instance: I didn't have the Glyph of Revenge and it's greyed out in my spellbook. A quick check on AH yielded nothing so I was wondering whether we have to get or learn those we don't know anywhere.
You still learn them in the same fashion as before (buying them) ... they weren't on the ptr auction house cause there really isnt much reason for people to craft and sell shit on the ptr...
Are prime glyphs trainer learned for Inscription ?
Edit - ffs no decent shield wall or last stand glyph
Marking targets, coordinating CC, and *most importantly*, pulling responsibly so that 9 elites didn't rush us and wipe the party, this Is something I have missed since nov 08.
A lot of the existing glyphs were simply reclassified. This means some formerly Major Glyphs became Prime. Revenge / Devastate is an example of this.
I believe (but am not sure) Glyph of Blocking became Glyph of Shield Slam.
Boda, the link in your OP no longer links to a spec. Since the release is more then likely tomorrow it maybe a good thing to get fixed. Perhaps it will prevent a bunch of posts asking how to spec.
The talent tree's are very straight forward.... if they honestly cant figure out a level 80 spec... they probably shouldn't be playing this game... coloring a pretty picture would probably be more suitable.
But... here... level 80 specs
The Basic http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LMZhZfbGdRRodbu
You want more rage? http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LMZhZcrGdRRodbu
Safegaurd http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LMZhZcbGdRRodru
Moar threat is moar better http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LMZobZfbGdRRodbu
Moar threat is moar better (with rage) http://cata.wowhead.com/talent#LMZobZfMGdRRodbu
In the last one change the points from incite over to BnT if you want moar threat on AoE...
My thoughts on Impending Victory are it will help smooth out healing, and at that point in a fight, threat shouldn't be an issue (especially since they removed threat decay.) But at the same time I think it will feel bulky and unnatural. Perhaps putting it in a macro with Shield Slam or Revenge so that it is only used when one of those is on CD. I'll be interested in seeing the tests and how this talent evolves.

(im also kinda look for a good lvl 80 prot heroics tanking spec.since i figured the one im using now isnt going to work since there changing the talent trees)

More or less you can actually just throw in points now if you possess even an ounce of intelligence.... if you just wanna do heroics I would use my moar threat is moar better build posted above.
I'm going to try this to start: http://wowtal.com/#k=I-uWHkY.a5o.warrior.RXykd8
Impending Victory just to try it. The new Intervene makes Safeguard more interesting when OTing. Part of me wants to put 3 points in war academy instead of blood craze. If IV turns out to be as lack luster as theorycrafting supports I'd flesh out Incite and shield spec. same deal with safeguard.

Deregulation is being tested by a series of crises, from a devastating hurricane to the Wall Street meltdown. Regulators and companies are applying the lessons learned to strengthen the Texas...
Stabilizing California's Demand
The real reasons behind the state's energy savings.
highly with changes in per capita electricity consumption. Even when many outliers were excluded, simple linear regression showed that the relationship between these two variables was less than 20 percent. In addition, the EE savings variable was not significant within any of the multiple regression models. A major issue we encountered was that on a per capita basis, annual changes in the level of EE savings, were small in relation to the changes in annual electricity consumption. While fully controlling for all other factors that contribute to annual fluctuations in the level of electricity consumption may have allowed us to identify the role of EE savings, we were able to control only for about half of the annual variation in consumption and did not succeed in specifying the role of EE savings. 6
While we have no doubt that EE programs have contributed to the relatively stable 7 pattern of per capita electricity consumption in California, we were interested to see whether there were other factors that distinguish California from the rest of the country that also should be taken into account when explaining the divergence in consumption. We found that California is different from the rest of the United States in several other aspects ( i.e., in addition to the scope of its EE programs) that could help account for some of the difference in consumption trends. These are: the price of residential electricity; climate; household size; housing mix; conservation ethic; and the structure of the economy.
In addition to savings from EE programs, building codes and appliance standards could help account for the different consumption trends evident in California and the rest of the United States over the past 30 years.
• Electricity Prices: In California, as elsewhere, there is a predictable relationship between electricity prices and the annual variation in residential per capita electricity consumption. On an annual basis, increases in the price of residential electricity are associated with decreases in consumption (see Figure 3) . For every one mil increase in the price of residential electricity in California, per capita consumption declines by about 6 kWh per capita. 8 The data points lie relatively well clustered about the line, with price changes explaining about 40 percent of the annual variability in per capita consumption. These findings are in keeping with the national data on residential energy prices and residential per capita consumption that we analyzed: Those states with higher energy prices have lower per capita consumption and vice versa (see Figure 4) .9
Electricity prices in California are higher than those in the United States as a whole, and the difference in price has become more marked over the past thirty-five years. In 1970, the price of residential electricity in California was 0.0809 cents per kWh, only a little higher than the U.S. average of 0.0806 cents/kWh. By 2005, the price had risen by 37 percent in California, to 0.1109 cents/kWh. In the United States as a whole, however, it had risen by just 4 percent, with the 2005 price, at 0.0838 cents/kWh, substantially lower than in
