This a great value-all purpose facial wash, body wash and hand wash. This has very little foam when used as a facial cleanser. Earthy scent, cleans the skin rather well.
This can remove make-up as long as you wash your face twice with the cleanser. It seems to clear pores and help minimize my break-outs.

Okay, this review is a bit premature, but I will update after I have tried it for EVERYTHING. I was in my local Giant grocery store, in the organic aisles, and was planning on picking up some Dr. Bonners Almond when to my delight I spotted this. I seriously almost squealed, (so sad, I know). I have wanted to try this and its (No. 1) much cheaper than Dr. B's (which has become my staple for household cleaning and personal care).
No. 2- I love, love, love, the smell. Its very different, herbally/ spicy but not too strong. Many say it smells like mens cologne. I don't think so, but it is NOT anywhere near the Dr. B's scents. When my Dr. B's runs out I will be converting all my homemade household cleaning recipies that call for castille soap to this.
Now I have only tried this (I bought it tonight) for face washing. Well, I should have known. I only wash my face with honey but always miss the suds. Dr. B's made my face burn, luckily Dr. Woods Black did not but I still found my face to tight feeling after washing so it is a no go for my face. I am going to try it a shampoo and body wash and am hopping it performs as well if not better (not so drying) as Dr B's- will update
I LOVE this black soap!!! I try to buy products without harmful ingredients, and this is the best for my skin that is oily. I am 41 and have some pigment issues due to my past tanning bed use and this soap seems to be evening out my skin tone. I do admit I wasn't fond on the scent...but it's tolerable now. It's worth it seeing how great this makes my skin look....I use it all over my body and my skin is softer than it's ever been!

This has got to be the best liquid soap I've ever purchased! It leaves my skin soft and hydrated on those hot days when I don't feel like using lotion. It's got a nice rosemary scent and its not too strong. I would recommend this to anyone who has dry itchy skin when they come out of the shower. YOU will not be DISAPPOINTED!!

Was dying to try out this product and was not disappointed at all. I needed something to get all my makeup off and this did it. The smell was strange at first but quickly got over it and don't even notice it at all anymore. Don't know if it is drying or not because I always use moisturizer. I am also now hooked on the other Dr. woods soaps too. The peppermint I use in a foam soap dispenser in the bathroom, also use it for cleaning floors diluted with water. I love the almond soap also. I have that in a foam dispenser as well and use it diluted in a spray bottle to dust with. Smells fabulous. Love that these soaps are not chemically and the smells don't sicken me.

This is definitely the most purchased soap by me. I was a regular user of Dr. Bronners, but decided to give Dr. Woods soaps a try and I am glad I did. I am addicted to this soap, it does wonders for my skin. I use it as facial cleanser and body wash, it cleanses well without drying the skin. After regular use my skin gradually became clearer and brighter, the pores are tighter. Don't like it as a shampoo, but otherwise it is an excellent product. My kids like it as well. I tried the other variations as well, they are good, but the smell of the Pure Black is divine, so this one is a winner. It is very cheap at www.iherb.com (use code TOV126 for $5-$10 discount).
I tried Dr. Bonner's soap, but found it WAY too drying. I wanted something more natural so I gave this a try when I was at my local health food grocery store. This was a very nice product and you got a lot for the price. I think a large bottle was around $13.00.
I was able to use this to shave my legs and I didn't get the drag or drying effect I did when I used Dr. Bonner's. I washed my face a few times with this and had no extra acne or any irritation. I did not continue using it as a face wash though out of fear mostly. I have very reactive skin on my face and it likes to break out in painful acne.
For anyone that has tried Dr. Bonner's and found that it wasn't right for their skin I would highly recommend trying this product out! :)
I gave in to the hype and bought this and have never regretted a purchase more. I don't have sensitive or acne prone skin, but a few days of using this as a facial cleanser gave me cysts in areas that have never, ever broken out before. When used as shampoo, it turned my hair to straw. When used as body wash, I broke out all over my back and chest, also something that has never happened before. I don't even want to use this to clean my floors, as the smell is less than pleasant. Short of dumping the whole bottle, I have no idea what to do with the rest of this product.
Ok, I wanted to give this product a go as a facial cleanser due to the great reviews on here. I thought I'd do this review in 5 steps. I wanna write a first impression and then update every week. ... I'm gonna use it religiously and really see what it can do.
Normally it's not something I'd buy being a faithful clinique 3 step user. My skin type is combination. Cheeks on the dry side. T zone can get oily. Extremely sensitive skin. Very very acne-prone when it comes to products. Right now I have a few minor breakouts due to stress and hormones, I think.I use the version without shea butter.
Day 1: So, first impression: THE PACKAGING is not very practical. It's an 32 ounce bottle. . it looks weird and out of place in my bathroom. Don't know. Some fancy department store cleanser does look nicer on the shelf... and I'm afraid I am a little shallow like that.
THE SMELL... is awful imo. Smells a bit like old men to me. Reminds me of my grandfather somehow which in a way is not bad since I loved my grandfather and he was really picky with products... but do I wanna smell like him?! Idk. Smell does linger like 2-3 hours I think. Also lingers in the bathroom.
THE RESUNLT: Takes off makeup like nothing else!! Wow!!! Even mascara without leaving any residue! Skin is neather stripped not showing any redness. I feel like I could go without moisturizer but... I just cannot do that. Being a skin care junkie it just feels wrong. At least until now it does. I might think differently next week.

Yay! I'm so happy to see reviews (great ones, too) about my HG facial cleanser. Every time I mention it on the Makeup or Skincare boards, no one responds. I thought I was the only one using it. I have been using this (with the shea butter) for years and I will never switch to anything else. My kids use it and it cleared up my son's acne. He tried prescription meds and creams and Pro Activ with no results, but when I got him to use Dr. Woods, his acne cleared up quickly. I have oily/combo skin and this cleanser cleans thoroughly without stripping my skin and leaves it soft that I could actually go without moisturizer if I wanted to. It also makes an amazing body wash and shampoo. I've even used it to hand wash delicate clothing. This cleanser also removes every last trace of my liquid foundation at the end of the day. I bought my first bottles at a green market for $10 for a 32 oz. bottle. When my green market stopped carrying it, I found it on Amazon and paid $24 for 4 bottles... $6 each! Each bottle lasts an insane amount of time because you only need a little at a time. I wet my face and hands and pour a tiny bit in my hand and then rub my hands together to created a lather. About the smell... it doesn't bother me. Kind of smells like pine needles. You have to buy this!!!!!!

Silver Streak
The train movie has always been a favorite genre of mine (Horror Express, Runaway Train, Narrow Margin, Emperor of the North Pole, etc). Going back to the silents (The Great Train Robbery) the train trip has been used famously as a murder mystery setting (Murder on the Orient Express, The Lady Vanishes), a place for romance (North by Northwest), action (The Cassandra Crossing, Breakheart Pass), comedy (The General), and horror (Terror Train). In 1976 director Arthur Hiller wasn't exactly sure what genre he wanted - romance, action, comedy. Though sometimes messy, his Silver Streak did mange to breathe some life into the train picture and it ended up being a perfect piece of genre-bending entertainment.
With a screenplay by Colin Higgins, who had written the cult flick Harold and Maude and would go on to write and direct another solid romantic-action-comedy, Foul Play with Chevy Chase, Silver Streak stars Gene Wilder. As one of the era's most unique comic talents, the role feels very un-Wilder-like. Mater of fact it could have been Chase, Elliott Gould, George Segal, Burt Reynolds or any leading man of the mid '70s. It's not until just over the half way mark when Richard Pryor enters and infuses the film with a fresh energy, bringing out the more manic Wilder that audiences had grown to love. After getting a co-screenwriting credit on the Wilder flick Blazing Saddles, but nixed as an actor, Silver Streak would mark Pryor and Wilder's first onscreen comedy together. They would follow it with the sometimes hilarious Stir Crazy and then the mostly terrible Another You and See No Evil, Hear No Evil. But Silver Streak is the film that really best showcases the yin and yang of their different comic styles.Continue Reading
The Deep
Of all the so called Jaws rip-offs - and there were plenty - the best of the lot was The Deep. Most were just exploitation quickies (Great White, Barracuda and, of course, the very entertaining Piranha), but a few actually had classy casts (John Huston, Shelly Winters and Henry Fonda in Tentacles; Richard Harris and Charlotte Rampling in Orca). The Deep, besides having a distinguished cast (Nick Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset, Robert Shaw, Louis Gossett Jr., Eli Wallach) and a credible action director, Peter Yates (Bullitt, The Friends of Eddie Coyle), most importantly, was written by Peter Benchley, the author who wrote the novel Jaws (though everyone agrees the movie Jaws was better than the book). The Deep was his follow-up and although much of it does take place underwater and it even has a nasty electric eel, it's less a killer fish flick and more of a smuggling thriller (which makes sense since Jaws the novel had a minor but still awkward gangster subplot). But because Benchley and the producers were obviously trying to cash in on the Jaws phenomenon it still, fairly or unfairly, falls into the "rip-off" genre. But, hey, better to be the best "Jaws Rip-Off Flick" than nothing at all.
Benchley adapted his novel along with co-screenwriter Tracy Keenan Wynn (who wrote the great Burt Reynolds prison football flick The Longest Yard). Perhaps the personal histories and relationship dynamics between the characters were a little more fleshed out in longer book form, but on screen they are just touched on, teased out enough to make the movie feel a little more complicated than it probably deserves. Uber-sexy couple David (Nolte in his first big screen star vehicle after his brilliant performance in the TV mini-series Rich Man, Poor Man) and Gail (Bisset) are vacationing in Bermuda and while scuba diving they discover an abandoned old shipwreck, The Goliath. Among the artifacts they discover is a little vial of liquid. It turns out the cute bottle is filled with morphine and the bottom of the ship is covered in it (it was to be used as medical supplies during WWII). This gets the local drug kingpin, Cloche (Gossett Jr.), sniffing around them, knowing it could be worth millions up on the streets of New York. But they hook up with the local treasure-hunter, Treece (Robert Shaw of Jaws, in a less antisocial but equally knowing role), whose team includes his brutish bodyguard, Kevin (Robert Tessier, the often bald-headed tough guy familiar to '70s and '80s B-movie fans), and an untrustworthy old sailor named, oddly enough, Coffin (classic Actor's Studio super ham Eli Wallach), who is the only survivor of The Goliath. Shaw and Nolte scuba dive and dig up the drug and also uncover another ship full of gold jewelry. There's talk of some kind of old-timey conspiracy about the king of Spain and a noblewoman. There's a killer eel down there and some sharks make a dangerous cameo. Haitian voodoo comes into it and Bisset often flaunts a lovely wet T-shirt. It has a very "early James Bond" like score by John Barry and a discofied end-credits song by Donna Summer (though her vocals seem to be missing from the DVD version). Oh, and the underwater sequences are spectacularly shot.Continue Reading
The Dirty Dozen
The Dirty Dozen, the granddaddy of action super-team flicks, took the sheen off the WWII big ensemble picture (The Longest Day, The Great Escape) and mixed in the military cynicism that was bubbling up (encouraged by doubt about the Vietnam War) with rowdy anti-heroics (MASH, Kelly's Heroes). Like so many films to follow, the film breaks into two halves easily: first, assembling the team full of anti-authority types (Stripes); and second, the undercover suicide mission behind enemy lines (Inglourious Basterds). After years of dependable supporting performances in The Wild One, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Ship of Fools, this may be silver haired, tough guy actor Lee Marvin's signature role (with apologies to the great crime thriller Point Blank and his Oscar winning work in the otherwise forgettable Cat Ballou). The Dirty Dozen gives Marvin the perfect opportunity to showcase his brawn as well as his sense of humor. As Major Reisman, he is assigned the task of putting together a WWII team made of 12 creeps and criminals, many of whom are facing the noose, to first train and then sneak into France before D-Day to kill a group of high-end Nazis (with their dates) at a fancy chateau shindig.
The team is made up of many future stars, or at least interesting cinematic curios...Continue Reading
The Longest Yard (1974)
Along with Deliverance a few years earlier and Boogie Nights decades later, The Longest Yard is one the three best movies of Burt Reynolds' career (there are not a lot of good ones to choose from) and maybe his best performance. It's the perfect role to show off his machismo sense of humor and the laid back, good-ol' boy charm that made him a superstar in the '70s. He had his share of very successful films (Smokey and The Bandit, etc) and a few nice ones (Starting Over), but the trio of Deliverance, Boogie Nights, and especially The Longest Yard are about the only times he teamed with major directors and had perfect scripts to suit him. (By the time he did Nickelodeon with Peter Bogdanovich or Rough Cut with Don Siegel or Semi-Tough with Michael Ritchie those once great directors' shelf-lives had already expired.)
Director Robert Aldrich had a diverse and distinguished career - only a handful of home runs, but those hits were massive. Moving from television to film he would make one of the last great noir films, Kiss Me Deadly, and then the classily twisted What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?. He would direct a number of solid action films including Flight of The Phoenix, Too Late The Hero, and peak with the wildly popular rowdy WWII film, The Dirty Dozen. The Longest Yard would repeat the cynical formula, making the bad guys the heroes. And with it Aldrich would prove he still had one more great film in him (unfortunately after The Longest Yard the rest of his career was pretty much junk, including reteaming with Reynolds for the listless detective film Hustle).Continue Reading

Installing Cork Floors in Kitchen
I'm considering installing cork floors in my kitchen. Does anyone have experience with cork flooring? Can you tell me about the plusses & minuses?
Hey, so am I! I've been researching it a little bit, I would be eager to hear what you've learned so far. As far as I've learned, the pros are:
- It's softer, so it's more comfortable to stand on for prolonged periods and slightly less likely to break things that are dropped on it.
- It's made from tree bark, a renewable resource.
The only con I know of so far stems from the softness: it's more prone to being gouged by sharp objects than a tile floor.
i'll be installing one in the near future.
do not use the snap together, think pergo, laminates; they are not good for potentially wet environments despite any claims from the maker.
don't buy a prefinished product. in order to ensure water resistance, the product has to be finished in situ so that the gaps between the tiles will be filled with the sealer. if you buy prefinished, you'll just have to sand off the finish, which is a pain with factory-applied finishes. also, cork is temperature sensitive, so you have to watch the heat generated by sanding; taking off an existing factory finish is even harder given this constraint.
on the plus side, as noted already, they are comfortable to stand on. they also tend to feel warmer than harder flooring choices. they dampen noise. dropped objects are less likely to break. it's relatively easy to do spot repairs since it's a glue-down tile; just remove the damaged piece, glue down a new one, sand and finish while feathering the repaired finish onto the adjoing tiles. the floor can be refinished several times before it becomes too thin. cork works well with radiant heat as there are no mechanical fasteners.
on the negative side, they are easier to damage; a dropped knife that lands point down will likely leave a mark that looks like a scratch (cork tends to be somewhat self-sealing; as long as no material is removed, it will close up around the wound - however, water-resistence will remain compromised as the finish is not self-sealing). sharpish objects, knives, pan edges, etc, that strike it at an oblique angle can remove material fairly easily. the soft surface distresses fairly easily from pet claws, chair scuffs, etc. if you don't mind a "worn" patina in relatively short order, it's a good choice. if you like your new stuff to stay pristine for long periods, i'd reconsider. as far as dropped object damage goes, it seems about as durable as floating vinyl installations. heavy objects, refrigerators, etc, tend to sink in over time, leaving dents that won't fully rebound, and making it hard to move the object. you might consider a piece of 1/4" plywood or a sturdy-gauge piece of stainless steel to go under objects like the frig to distribute the weight evenly. as with most natural, organic products, if water gets under it, you're probably hosed.
we use commercial-grade resilient rubber mats in our kitchen at the main work stations. (not pretty, but they work for us.) our intention is to continue using these mats with the cork floor to protect the places most likely to be damaged.
Thanks for all for your input. I'm choosing between the cork & returning to rubber flooring (Pirelli commercial flooring IIRC -- the stuff you see in airports, hospitals etc) which I had years ago & loved. Easy on feet, easy to clean, warm in winter, cool in summer, forgiving to dropped stuff. The only negative I recall is that it eventually got quite scuffed but I understand there are better, more durable waxes, finishes these days. My hesitation about going back to rubber is the been-there-done-that syndrome. Always tempted by something new & different. LOL
As a RE agent I see a lot of houses. We have a lot of homes that were built in the 50's and many of them have the original cork floors that just keep on going and going. I remember my parents building a home in the 50's in Savannah and having cork floors installed with 4 kids and 4 dogs those floors took a pounding. Cork like hardwoods just keep going and going. I have wood in my kitchen and like it but if I were in market again for new flooring cork is something I certainly would consider.
re: Candy
I also grew up with cork floors in the 50s -- LA instead of the East Coast. To us, they were just "floors" -- what do kids know? But I remember my mother wishing for some serious damage or wear so that she could replace them.
When it was time to wax them, we had a ball skating around on rags to do the polishing. There was never any damage to these hardy floors and she finally bit the bullet and covered them simply because she got tired of them. When my brother and I sold the family home 45+ years later, there they were. Good as new.
I have bamboo throughout my whole house but would certainly consider cork if/when replacement time comes. They were indestructible.
We had a cork tile floor installed in a kitchen more than 20 years ago (long since moved out) and absolutely loved it. Easy on the back and feet, on anything we dropped, easy to clean, no cons except the color/pattern selection - it hasn't changed in all these years.
We just installed cork flooring in our kitchen a few weeks ago. They are 1-by-3 foot planks, with a thin layer of cork on both sides, and fiberboard in between. So far we love it, feels great underfoot etc etc. I wouldn't want to drag anything sharp-edged along it, but I wouldn't want to do that on any other surface either.
re: Max Fischer
Really? Cork floors have been around for quite some time. I'd think bamboo flooring would suffer from a dated look more easily.
re: ATaleOfFiction
I live in Ohio and our local art museum has had cork floors ever since I was a little girl (the 50s). Even with all the wear, they are interesting, classic and beautiful. You can see where chunks have gotten dug out over the year, and those chunks are filled in with the surface coating, but just add to the richness and natural agelessness of the floors.
I was just told by my contractor that the tile I wanted on my floor would be very expensive to lay because we'd have to pull up the vinyl and put down an underlayment, so I'm back to looking at cork and am getting very excited.
Does anyone have some experience with laying cork on a vinyl surface that is on a crawl space or basement?
re: rebiljoj
Cork floors also require a new underlay, as far as I know. They telegraph any imperfections in the base layer.
re: mlgb
OId, old, thread, but modern floating cork floors are over a quarter-inch thick and hide imperfections in the subfloor. They're not the same as the old eighth-inch cork tiles.
I installed prefinished cork about seven months ago, and would never even think about any other surface again. Water damage between the planks is a non-issue, at least with the brand I chose. To test it, I submerged a sample in water for 48 hours, and it dried out to exactly the same as new, save for a slight discoloration in the middle composite layer, which is invisible when the floor is installed.
Go for it. It's an all-time classic.
re: Max Fischer
Yeah,bamboo? that is so 1998! :) Bamboo is already in its lackluster heyday, where cheap knockoffs and big box stock abounds!
My dad put them in our brand new house in West Los Angeles in 1953, I remember they were very comfortable, looked great lots of complements, but women that wore high heels would put indententations in the flooring, we had to warn them to take off their shoes before coming into the house.
I'd call Living Green for info. They have a wide selection and (one of the ladies there) were able to answer all my questions on cork. They specialize in sustainable/green living.
10000 Culver Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90232
We installed cork floor in our kitchen 4 months ago. It is not the clicking kind. It is glued on. The tiles themselves are very thin (like 1/4 inch?) and all cork, no fibreboard. As part of the installation, 1/8 inch plywood was first installed on top of the subfloor. The tile was not pre-finished. So 3 coats of varnish was put on after the tiles are glued down. The planks came in 3 different widths so we alternated the widths to get a subtle pattern.
We love the floor, it is soft on the feet. It is also warmer than hardwood which is great. We have a few scratches already from moving appliances. But the flooring company gave us a repair kit including some sort of colour powder that we can use to repair the scratches. You can hardly tell where they are. Aside from those, we haven't had other damages. We have 2 dogs and a child so we were expecting more scratches.
I'm the one in the kitchen a lot and I wanted cork for comfort but for whatever reason my sweet wife didn't, so I cut a deal with her that we could have hardwood as long as I could have commercial rubber mats in the key work areas. This is what we did, and it works well for both of us. Because of the woods (dark-grained oak in cabs and floors) and appliances (SS with black accents) in our kitchen, the black industrial mats actually look pretty cool.
That said, I'd still say from the functional standpoint cork is the way to go unless you have iron muscles in your legs and comfort doesn't matter. Tile IMO is the worst way to go from the comfort standpoint. I think the clean-up aspect is overrated.
fauchon, this is ancient history for you, but for others considering cork who may find this discussion, I have had cork in my kitchen for 6 years now. For many patterns (and there are many, MANY patterns, sizes and colors available) you have to be on your hands and knees to notice virtually anything on cork floors. The patterns hide dirt, scratches, dropped food, spills, and even dents. I am an admitted floor abuser - I have put down maybe two coats of poly since the initial two when I had the floor installed (where I have seen maintenance recommendations of 3 per year) and wash the floors maybe twice a year, at most. No polishing, nothing but vacuuming twice a week if I get around to it. Yet the floor gets a rave review every time someone comes to visit, even repeat visitors. Cork is timeless, and is still unique enough to be the first time anyone has ever seen it for most of my visitors and neighbors. All the other things are true, too: warm, soft, comfortable, sustainable and easy to fix (tho I haven't had to yet).
I hope you went for it fauchon!
re: srdill
Me, too. We are ripping out an old vinyl floor and I *really* wanted cork -- but the cost of leveling my floor plus the cost of the cork was too prohibitive this time around. Alas, we went for vinyl. But at least it's new, cushioned vinyl.
To "Max Fischer" re the idea that cork will look dated -- that might be true, but it will be no more dated than granite countertops or stainless appliances, which are much more pervasive these days. Cork has two advantages: the sustainability aspect, and its cushioning properties, both on feet and noise. It seems likely that some people will value these factors over any design aesthetic.
re: hollerhither
It's hard to imagine that cork will become dated. The largest (or at least best known???) flooring company, Armstrong, wasn't called called Armstrong Cork Company for many years for nothing. Cork has been used as a flooring material since before most of our parents were born, and I would say for good reason.
We put ours down about 2 years ago, and we love it. it's warm and giving to stand on and looks great. we put down the prefinished cork boards and haven't had any trouble with scarring or cuts. we dampmop once a week and that's all it takes. Stuff doesn't break when you drop it either.
re: chazzerking
Probably a stupid question, but is cork used for florring like putting down a huge cork board?
Other than soft I quess I'm thinking it might absorb mositure when washing like a coaster.
Sorry if it is a stupid question.
I have quarry tiles and would love to replace them, was also thinking of bamboo.
re: hummingbird
The new cork floors are prefinished and come in lots of colors, they're really very attractive and you can custom design a pattern. And they feel great underfoot!
re: hummingbird
as mlgb says, they come prefinished or unfinished so that you can finish them yourself. When we put ours down, we were also looking at bamboo, but went with the cork for the comfort. it is very cushy, and if you stand for any significant time on tile, you know how uncomfortable that can be; cork is about as opposite from tile as I can conceive from that standpoint. I also happened to really like the look in our kitchen. It really warmed up the look of the room. Some people talk about scarring as a problem, but we haven't experienced that.
re: chazzerking
I love our cork floor. Granted we only put it down 2 or 3 months ago, but it looks fabulous. We chose a very dark colour, so it doesn't show a lot of the 'cork' pattern. The bad news is that it shows every cat hair in the house (and we have 3 cats), but I guess we'd have that problem with any darker floor. It looks amazing and it feels great.
We have cork floors in an addition and I love them. We are thinking of installing the same flooring in our kitchen. (We used the floating planks). However, we have a question:
We have had terrible fading issues from the sun. The floor changes colors completely from one end to the other.
Does anybody know a way to refinish? Has anyone else had this problem? The color we picked was a warm nutmeg color, but 1/2 of the room is almost white.
we're thinking of putting cork floors in the kitchen. We are about to do a whole kitchen reno. but we have some concerns like what if the dishwasher floods. (which I've seen happen a few times). My question is "do the cabinates go in first then the cork floor is cut around them? Or does the cork floor go down then the cabinates on top? and what about the frig and dishwasher area? Thanks
re: bklynruark
As with all flooring, it goes up to the cabinets, but the cabinets need to get shimmed up to meet the level of your new flooring (e.g. if your underlayment + flooring =1/2", then you need to make sure the bottom of your cabinets is 1/2" off the floor. You can always lay your flooring under the cabinets, but if you're paying for premium flooring, then it's a real waste. Dishwashers have feet tha can be adjusted to the proper height; whether your flooring goes under depends on how it's installed. If any part of the flooring is visible with the appliance in place, then put a 6" apron of flooring at the front of the appliance and plywood under the remainder or just level the feet. A built-in fridge need not be installed over flooring, a free-standing fridge should have flooring underneath.
re: bklynruark
I would just add that to me dishwasher flooding suggests a need for repair or replacement. I've used several dishwashers of various ages and conditions and brands in various different kitchens I've lived with over the years and never seen that. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I really don't think that should happen at all if it's installed properly. Main point being that I don't think that needs to be a concern in your choice of flooring. A minor spill shouldn't matter anyway, and a major water issue is likely to damage something else (like the bottoms of the cabinets, the subfloor, etc.) even if the floor is vinyl or tile.
I installed cork floors in my kitchen 2 years ago when I wasn't able to refinish the room's orginal woods floors, which were badly damaged. I thought cork would offer some of the benefits of wood, and it does.
Cork is natural and absorbs sound and shock. My kitchen is much less noisy and I haven't broken a dish-- I'm really clumsy. It's soft on the feet and on the eyes, and it's durable and hides dirt. (http://www.expanko.com/CORK/CORK-Prod...) People walk on it and say, "What is this floor, it's so cool!"
That said, I would have done the following differently:
1. Hired someone with lots of experience installing cork. If the floor isn't perfectly level, it spoils the affect and you see the seems.
2. Lay out the floor ahead of time. The tiles can vary slightly in color, especially from box to box.
3. Sunlight fades cork, and my kitched has a southern exposure. I chose a newer style that's has espresso tones and the floor is quite faded near the window.
I had both hardwood and cork. Hated both, not for the look or the comfort of cork. But I often get many people in my kitchen and things drop, I also have pets DOG not currently but did. Big claws just didn't work well over a few years. Also water damage. My dishwasher broke, damage galore. But comfortable but it was in a somewhat sunny location (part of the floor). One half faded slightly and looked lousy with the rest.
Hardwood, again pets, my refrigerator leaked while on VACA. What an expense that was. And just water damage in all. Getting ice cubes from the freezer, not noticing that maybe you dropped one or 2 and then wake up to soaked in.
Never again on either. I love the look don't get me wrong. But too many cons for me.
See my above of the last post. I love cork, I love oak. I had oak and cork and got rid of both. Had oak however in all other rooms including tile through the hall ways.
It really depends on the family. I had a child and many other kids always came other, also many parties where people would accidentally spill something or drop something and then just doesn't work good in the kitchen for me. We had an accidental leak from the fridge while on vacation, the dishwasher one other time and it was only 3 years old. I loved the feel, but just too much work. My husbands friends came over one night, big birthday party, lots of beer, lots of fun but yes, a couple of glasses were accidentally knocked over, red wine on the cork floor, also one heavy pan dropped on my oak once, a nice indent.
Anyways, I am sure you will get opposite opinions and it really depends on your lifestyle which I think you have to decide which works best. For me, it wasn't practical.
re: kchurchill5
I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd try. I'm thinking about getting cork in my kitchen and we have 2 toddlers and parties several times a year. To kchurchill5, were your cork floors pre-finished or did you apply a protective finish after installation? I'm just wondering if it makes a difference with the wear issues. I was under the impression that the poly top coat helped significantly and made the floors stand up to heavy traffic.
re: mgtates
If you do a topcoat of poly, your floors will be as indestructible as any plant product can be. However, if you're really worried about water damage, why don't you check into real, old-fashioned linoleum? It's made from linseed oil and various plant matter, and is close to waterproof as almost anything. It has nothing -- absolutely nothing -- to do with vinyl flooring.
And if money isn't a huge issue, check out PVC flooring. Probably the most jaw-dropping floor I've ever seen was a roll PVC I saw in a designer's showhouse. It had a subtle texture and color variegation -- and the homeowner told me her 10 x 12 kitchen cost her almost $8000 to floor. Now, that's an extreme case, and it was several years ago. But they also had a sample of it out on the counter with a claw hammer, where they invited people to do their best to damage it. Couldn't make the slightest mark in it. Worth it? Well, I'm not a class-action lawyer or a high-class prostitute, so I can't make it work money-wise. Your mileage may vary.
Pet owners beware.
We had a cork floor installed in our old style kitchen 10 years ago. It's comfortable to stand on and we love the crazy natural pattern it creates. The colour hides toast crumbs and bits of cereal, etc. and it's super easy to damp mop clean. All good.
BUT our two small dogs really did a number on it and several chunks were taken out as they tore around corners when it was time to go outside.
Also, water stained the area by the sink and fridge an ugly grey color - looks like dirt now. If you spill a bit of water or drop a couple of ice cubes and miss finding one it will create a problem when it melts.
We weren't told that these floors need ongoing resealing. Had we done that sooner, it would be a much better looking floor now. Most of the floor looks ok still but at the back door and by the sink-fridge it is just ugh! We just resealed and it perked up the colour nicely except the grayed parts are also now more noticeable. There are lots of scratches over the surface that kind of blend in. When we no longer have dogs we plan to reinstall cork again.

'Hurt Locker' Producers Fire First Lawsuits Against File Sharers
Although the total of 5,000 targeted users is far lower than the number originally expected to come under fire, Gizmodo points out that this may just be the first wave of lawsuits, suggesting that there may be more legal action on the horizon. It's unlikely, however, that all 5,000 will actually come to court. Attorney Thomas Dunlap, the man orchestrating the suit under the US Copyright Group, has a greater interest in strong-arming the defendants into paying handsome settlement fees, in line with what TechDirt calls "a classic 'protection racket.' 'Pay up and you won't get hurt.'" It's a dirty, borderline Mafia-like practice, and one that's already been recognized as such in places like the U.K. and France. Here's hoping American regulators catch on soon, before Voltage strikes again. [From: TechDirt; via: Engadget]

That comedy smash, which opened 25 years ago this week (on December 21, 1988) marked a career peak not just for Griffith, but for many others, including co-stars Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford and director Mike Nichols. Other future stars, including Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey, got early career breaks in the film. Since then, there have been a lot of ups and downs on that ladder to success for everyone in the film. Here, then, is what became of the folks behind "Working Girl."
Gallery | 'Working Girl' Cast: Where Are They Now?
- Melanie Griffith ('Tess McGill')
- Melanie Griffith ('Tess McGill')
After prominent roles in "Body Double" and "Something Wild," Griffith finally became an A-list star at 31 with her performance in "Working Girl" as Tess McGill, she of the self-described "head for business and bod for sin." Alas, casting directors tended to place her in roles that emphasized the latter and all but ignored the former, in such films as "The Bonfire of the Vanities," "Nobody's Fool," "Milk Money," and "Lolita," though she also got to show brains and persistence in such films as "Pacific Heights," "A Stranger Among Us," "Shining Through," and "Born Yesterday" (opposite then-husband Don Johnson). Her career downshifted towards TV after her last major leading role, in 1999's "Crazy in Alabama" (directed by current husband Antonio Banderas). You may have seen her most recently as a guest star on the series "Raising Hope" (on which her mother, Tippi Hedren, also appeared). The 56-year-old is due back on the big screen in 2014 in the Spanish sci-fi thriller "Automata."
- Alec Baldwin ('Mick Dugan')
- Alec Baldwin ('Mick Dugan')
Baldwin appeared in five movies in 1988, the year he turned 30 -- notably, "Working Girl" (as Mick, Tess's faithless boyfriend), "Married to the Mob" (as Frank, Michelle Pfeiffer's faithless Mafia husband), and "Beetlejuice" (as half of a newly dead couple, alongside Geena Davis). He seemed poised for leading-man status with his role as Jack Ryan in 1990's "The Hunt for Red October," though he yielded the role to "Working Girl" co-star Harrison Ford in sequels. He found himself more at home in character parts (like the tough-guy casino boss role that earned him an Oscar nomination in 2003's "The Cooler") and in comic roles (like his frequent gigs hosting "Saturday Night Live," his seven seasons as mogul Jack Donaghy on "30 Rock," and spoofy roles in such films as "State and Main," "Along Came Polly," and "It's Complicated"). The 55-year-old has made several films with Woody Allen, including this year's "Blue Jasmine."
- Harrison Ford ('Jack Trainer')
- Harrison Ford ('Jack Trainer')
In 1988, Ford, then 46, was a celebrated hero from the "Star Wars" and Indiana Jones movies, but he hadn't really done a romantic comedy until he played Jack Trainer. "Working Girl" was his first rom-com, to be followed by far less successful attempts like "Sabrina," "Six Days Seven Nights," and "Morning Glory." Of course, he's continued to be a man of action, from the Jack Ryan movies to "The Fugitive" to this year's "Paranoia" and "Ender's Game." Now 71, he's still in demand as a character actor, as in his other 2013 films, "42" and the upcoming "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues." But watch for him to kick ass again next year in "The Expendables 3."
- Sigourney Weaver ('Katharine Parker')
- Sigourney Weaver ('Katharine Parker')
1988 marked a career peak for Sigourney Weaver, as the 39-year-old "Alien" and "Ghostbusters" star earned two Oscar nominations: one for Best Actress for her role as primatologist Dian Fossey in "Gorillas in the Mist," and one for her role as corporate villain Katharine Parker in "Working Girl." Her career continued to flourish with more "Ghostbusters" and "Alien" sequels, as well as such comedies as "Dave," "Galaxy Quest," and "Heartbreakers." She proved she was as tough as ever in 2009's "Avatar." Her last major project was the 2012 dramatic mini-series "Political Animals. Now 64, Weaver will next appear on the big screen in Ridley Scott's 2014 Biblical epic "Exodus."
- Joan Cusack ('Cyn')
- Joan Cusack ('Cyn')
Cusack made a name for herself as the heroine's big-haired sidekick in movies like 1987's "Broadcast News" and 1988's "Working Girl," made when she was 26. She played variations on the kooky best-friend/bridesmaid role throughout the '90s in movies like "Nine Months," "In & Out" (which earned her an Oscar nod) and "Runaway Bride." She's appeared in many movies alongside her brother John, from "Grosse Pointe Blank" to "Martian Child" to "War, Inc." She's the voice of Jessie the Cowgirl in the "Toy Story" movies. Cusack's last big-screen movie was 2012 cult favorite "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," but the 51-year-old has also been a regular on the Showtime series "Shameless," whose next season begins in January.
- Philip Bosco ('Oren Trask')
- Philip Bosco ('Oren Trask')
When he was 58, character actor Bosco had a small but memorable role in "Working Girl" as Oren Trask, the corporate titan who plays a key role in Tess and Jack's wheeling and dealing. He'd go on to appear in such comedies as "Quick Change," "Angie," "Milk Money" (opposite "Working Girl" co-star Melanie Griffith), "The First Wives Club," "My Best Friend's Wedding," "Wonder Boys," and "Hitch." His last major role was as the increasingly senile dad in 2007's "The Savages." Now 82, he last appeared on film in 2009's "When the Evening Comes."
- Kevin Spacey ('Bob Speck')
- Kevin Spacey ('Bob Speck')
Spacey, who got one of his earliest big breaks in movies in "Working Girl" director Mike Nichols's "Heartburn" (he played a mugger), had a slightly bigger part in "Working Girl" when he was 29, playing a coke-sniffing Wall Streeter who hits on Tess during a limo ride. Of course, he went on to stardom and Oscar-winning success in films like "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty." During the 2000s, he ran London's Old Vic Theater and was only an occasional presence in movies ("Superman Returns," "21"). Recently, however, the 54-year-old has been seen in "Margin Call" and "Horrible Bosses", as well as the Netflix series "House of Cards," whose second season debuts early in 2014.
- Oliver Platt ('Lutz')
- Oliver Platt ('Lutz')
At, 28, Platt (who, like Baldwin, had also appeared in "Married to the Mob" in 1988) enjoyed one of his earliest film roles as Lutz, the boss who gets his come-uppance after he tries to pimp Tess out to a colleague. He followed that up with a starring role in "Flatliners" and supporting turns in "Indecent Proposal," "Three Musketeers," "Tall Tale," "Doctor Dolittle," "Lake Placid," "Don't Say a Word," "Frost/Nixon," "2012," and "X-Men: First Class." The 53-year-old spent several seasons on the recently-completed Showtime series "The Big C." His most recent major movie was last year's "Ginger and Rosa."
- Kevin Wade (Screenwriter)
Wade (right) had seen his play "Key Exchange" turned into a small romantic comedy, but "Working Girl" was the then-34-year-old's first original screenplay to be made into a hit movie. After that, he also wrote such films as the Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy "junior," the Brad Pitt vehicle "Meet Joe Black," and the Jennifer Lopez romance "Maid in Manhattan.". Today, the 59-year-old is a writer/producer on the CBS TV police drama series "Blue Bloods."
- Olympia Dukakis ('Personnel Director')
- Olympia Dukakis ('Personnel Director')
Dukakis, then 57, was fresh off her Oscar win for "Moonstruck" when she did her cameo in "Working Girl" as the placement officer who must find Tess yet another position. Since then, Dukakis has appeared in "Steel Magnolias," "The Cemetery Club," "Mr. Holland's Opus," and "Away From Her," as well as two TV mini-series based on Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City." Now 82, she'll be seen next in the TV movie "The Christmas Spirit," on Hallmark this month.
- Mike Nichols (Director)
- Mike Nichols (Director)
Nichols (pictured here with wife Diane Sawyer, left, and actress Rita Wilson, middle) was 57 and had been an A-list director for more than 20 years when he made "Working Girl." He was coming off such successful dramas as "Silkwood" and "Heartburn" when he returned to comedy with the 1988 Cinderella tale, as well as an adaptation of Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues," released the same year. He followed "Working Girl" by continuing to skewer the New York corporate world in such films as "Regarding Henry" (another collaboration with Harrison Ford, and the first big break for writer J.J. Abrams) and "Wolf." He had another comedy smash with "The Birdcage," followed by "Primary Colors" (his prescient satire of the Clintons), the sci-fi romantic comedy "What Planet Are You From?", the adultery drama "Closer," and another political satire, 2007's "Charlie Wilson's War." That was his most recent big-screen venture, but the 82-year-old has also remained one of Broadway's most in-demand directors; he's the helmer of the current revival of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal," starring Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin-based Freedom from Religion Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit alleging the Internal Revenue Service is giving unconstitutional preferential treatment to churches and other religious organizations.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Madison says the IRS is violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment as well as constitutional equal protection rights by exempting churches from having to file a detailed application form, fee and annual information form to receive and maintain tax-exempt status.
The lawsuit says that preferential treatment gives churches an exclusive and discriminatory benefit not afforded other secular nonprofits like the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
An IRS spokesman had no comment.

First USAO Rapp Scholarship Awarded to Curtis

His message was one of student achievement. (read full Huguenin address here)

January 14, 2013
A Charlottesville woman accused of duct taping a muzzle on her dog will spend time in jail. Loretta Watkins was sentenced to 40 days in jail Monday morning on two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty.
The charges stem from an incident on September 17, 2012, when police got a call regarding two dogs inside Watkins' home. The officer who responded said the home was covered in feces and urine and there was no food or water in sight.
The officer said one dog, a larger Shepard, had duct tape wrapped around its muzzle. He said the other dog, a small poodle mix, looked severely malnourished. The dogs were taken to the SPCA.
A veterinarian who evaluated the dogs at the SPCA said in court that the small dog was blind, looked disoriented, was very thin and had "copious amounts of fleas." The veterinarian said the Shepard was of a healthy weight. She also explained how muzzling a dog could prevent it from necessary food or water, cause panic, respiratory issues or prevent a dog from panting if overheated, though this particular dog did not show signs of respiratory issues and was not underweight.
Watkins admitted to duct taping the dog's muzzle while running errands, when she had guests or overnight while she was away from home. She said she did it to prevent the dog from getting into the trash.
"I know I did something wrong. I shouldn't have did it," Watkins told the judge. She explained that she was in the process of being evicted and couldn't find anyone to help care for her dogs while looking for a place for all of them to stay.
The defense argued there was no proof that the duct taped muzzle affected the dog's health or that the other dog's malnourishment or flea problem was a result of the September incident. He argued this was a case of neglect more than cruelty and that Watkins has learned from her mistake and feels remorse.
The judge said he didn't think Watkins' actions came from a place of a depraved heart but rather a misguided sense of trying to care for the animals. He said it would have taken one call to the SPCA to get help.
The judge found Watkins guilty on both charges and sentenced her to 180 days for each offense, suspending 160 days of each sentence.

The NY Times is reporting about a new four-part series airing today on the Discovery Channel. Hosted by Ted Koppel, it explores the economic growth that brought 300 million people out of subsistence.
Among other quotes, one nugget that sticks out:
"In 1973 when I asked, 'What do you want to be?' the answers were political," Mr. Koppel said. "People said, 'I'd do whatever the motherland needs of me.' This was a time when intellectuals were being shipped out to the countryside by the millions, and you could not express any personal ambition, because it could cost you your life.
"Today people say, 'Hey, I want to get rich, I want to make money.'"
And once they drop their peg, float their currency and stop accumulating USD reserves, they will become even richer (at least in terms of purchasing power).
Addendum: I just received an email from an employee of 360i who pointed to several short promotional videos for the program: 1 2 3

Looks like one block of Smith Street will see a lot of action this winter. Not only is the former Union Smith Café at 305 Smith getting a makeover, but a self-proclaimed very nosy manager at a nearby shop reports that a Moroccan restaurant is opening next door to her at 311 Smith. She's 150 percent sure its two young guys who recently started renovating. We swung by, and sure enough, the former Vintage Cellars wine shop is dusty with construction. A worker wouldnt come to the door for us, so if you know anything, keep us posted!

Heck named America East Conference Volleyball Co-Player of the Week
America East Conference Release
VESTAL, N.Y.--Senior outside hitter Michele Heck (Chicago, Ill./Resurrection) has been named the America East Conference Volleyball Co-Player of the Week for Oct. 18-Oct. 24. This marks the first time in her career she has received the honor.
In two matches last week, Heck posted 5.50 kills and 4.13 digs per game. She recorded a double-double with a career-high tying 26 kills and a career-high 23 digs against Stony Brook on Friday. She posted her second double-double of the week with 18 kills and 10 digs against UMBC on Saturday. In the match against Stony Brook, Heck had 72 kill attempts breaking the school record of 66 which was set on September 21, 1996 by Nicole Canestrare. Heck also had a .412 hitting percentage against UMBC.
"Against Stony Brook, Michele (Heck) had a nice all-around game, she really provided the leadership we needed during the match," head coach Glenn Kiriyama said. "Overall she hit well, she came through with timely blocks, scrambled well on defense the entire time she was out there."
Binghamton (14-12, 4-3 AE) hosts Albany (19-5, 7-0 AE) at 7 p.m. on Tuesday at West Gym.
NOTES: This the fifth time during the 2004 season a Binghamton volleyball player has received conference honors, Anne Crocus was honored three times as America East Player of the Week and Jacki Kane received America East Rookie of the Week two weeks ago.

The Economist launches US Intelligent Life via iPad
Intelligent Life, the quarterly arts and lifestyle magazine published by The Economist Group, has become the first major magazine to be launched in the United States exclusively through an iPad app.
The Economist: launches Intelligent Life via iPad
The app launched in the US at the end of last week via the Apple iPad store. Global financial services company Credit Suisse is the exclusive sponsor for the app's autumn launch issue, which will be free and available to download.
Credit Suisse is a regular advertiser for the printed publication. Other advertisers for the printed issues include Chanel, Mercedes Benz and Investex, the specialist bank asset manager.
The printed magazine, priced at £4.95, was first published in 2007 and is a departure from the politics and economic content of its parent title, with editorial on food, wine, books, music, fashion, museums, travel and philosophy.
The title also features contributions by regular Economist writers with specially commissioned pieces from authors such as Julian Barnes. The autumn issue will feature an interview with Man Booker prize-winner Hilary Mantel.
Since 2007 Intelligent Life has been available on the newsstand in Britain, Europe and Canada.
Des McSweeney, publisher of Intelligent Life, said: "Intelligent Life has always been recognised for its photography and illustrations, which match the elegance of the writing itself.
"Our team has made sure that the app gives readers a design as intuitive as the iPad itself, with every page specially adapted for both landscape and portrait formats."
Tim de Lisle, editor of Intelligent Life, said: "The iPad is a superb medium for long-form journalism. It is both a library and a lightbox, so it plays to our strengths. The iPad edition is a real treat, fully adapted to the medium, no PDFs allowed."
Meanwhile, the Economist's latest ad campaign, which launched in June, returns to underground and overground train stations in London today, and will run until 24 October.
The long-copy posters make a statement on a political or social topic and asks, "Where do you stand?".
The Economist recorded an ABC UK circulation of 195,244 from January to June 2010, and a year on year growth of 4.2%.

I always have this candle burning in my room at christmas time! The smell reminds me of when my mum's baking cookies <3 it has such a sweet, sugary smell (just like cookies) and is great for christmas time, especially if you love having the room smell like freshly bakes cookies!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i always have a Yankee Candle burning in my room. ALWAYS! i love transforming the atmosphere into my own little bubble. and this, transforms the atmosphere into pure dessert heaven. if you think; thick buttery vanilla, a HINT of coconut, buttercream, sugar and frosting. all in one amazing scent - well this is it! i don't know how anyone could not love this!
now to move on to quality. my pet peeve with Yankee Candles is, a weak throw, and the scent being different/watered down once lit. with this, the scent is just multiplied when lit, and the throw is amazing. this is such a nice thick, sweet gorgeous scent.
i feel like this does allude very well to a christmas cookie, because in the scent, you can actually smell the sugary frosting that usually comes in all those different colours on cakes and cookies, it's just mixed so nicely with as i previously said; buttery vanilla!
going on my list of favourites!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Smells nice, but not very strong. It has a light sugar cookie smell which is soft and sweet. No frosting scent in it to me, but it's ok, just wish it was stronger.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a good scent and I liked it until I smelt Kringle Cookie by the Kringle Candle company. The company of the son that used to be the owner of Yankee. Anyway, Christmas Cookie is good but, could be better.
I love this scent. I particulary like it during Christmastime. It is not sickningly sweet. Smells exactly like fresh baked sugar cookies.
I love pastry scents, but most of them go cloying fast. Christmas Cookie is the only one that always smells good to me. It's the smell of a kitchen where cookies are being baked, rather than the smell of actual frosted cookies, and so manages to be cozy rather than overly sweet.

Freshly baked cookies, hot and steaming on my kitchen countertop thats what this candle smells like. I swear I feel myself gaining weight when I smell this candle the fragrance is that sweet. Its strong, too!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i'm very disappointed in this product. i heard alot about Yankee Candle's quality and decided to make the jump and purchase this. This is my first purchase with the company. it smells great in the jar but once lit, i can't smell it unless i hover over the candle.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a sweet smelling candle, it really does smell like you are baking cookies, more of a cookie dough scent - sugary vanilla, white chocolate and a hint of christmas spices.
This started to scent my house after 15-20 minutes and I could smell it over my bathroom cleaner (I lit the candle in the kitchen and then went to clean the downstairs cloakroom) so I really don't understand how or why people don't find this a strong enough scent. This candle is just the right side of overpowering, any stronger and I think I would find it too sickly, even in the kitchen, but as it is it gives the house a warm and comforting smell. It also clears smells from cooking fairly well.
I would buy this again, but I'll try other scents first.
