Give your dog something other to chew. Rawhide bones, as long as they are the appropriate size for your dog, and hard rubber toys will help keep your dog occupied and away from your home's structure.
How to Keep a Dog From Chewing the Baseboard & Wall
Chewing is as natural to a dog as barking and wagging its tail. One of the ways that a dog discovers its surroundings is by chewing. A puppy chews a lot because it is teething (similar to a baby) and the chewing relieves the discomfort it feels as the new teeth are coming in. Furniture, shoes and even walls are at risk to a dog that feels the need to chew. Providing alternatives to chew and maintaining a vigil while the dog is inside the house are key steps to keep your dog from chewing on your baseboards and walls.
Things You'll Need
- Dog chew toys
- Leash
- Crate
- Natural or commercial dog-repellent spray
Monitor your dog while it is inside. Don't leave the dog in a room unattended where it has been chewing on the walls. If you are unable to monitor the dog, keep it confined to rooms where it cannot cause damage. Leave it on its leash in the house so it can't reach areas to chew. Place the dog in a large enough crate -- with food and water -- for it to stand up and turn around in when no one is home if no other option is available.
Exercise your dog often and play with it as much as possible. Keep it active so that when it comes into the house, it will be too tired to chew on your walls and baseboards.
Spray the walls and baseboards with scents that will keep your dog away. Use natural or readily available products such as ammonia, citrus, rubbing alcohol or vinegar, mixed with equal parts of water. Place the contents in a spray bottle and spray in the areas where the dog is chewing. Add a small amount of chili pepper to the spray as well as a stronger deterrent; there are also a number of commercial dog repellents available.
Have your dog examined by a veterinarian to see whether the chewing is the result of a teething problem or a more serious dental issue. Discuss your dog's diet, as the chewing could be related to the food it is being fed.

Rycote ChapelI have been to Rycote chapel on several occassions as my maiden name was Quartermaine. The first time I visited the lady who 'manned' the kiosk asked if I would like to sign a visitors book which she only allowed Quartermaines to sign - this would be around 1983 or so, as I was there with my son who was doing a school project on his ancestors. According to the lady on duty there were visits from hundreds of Quartermaines, many from far afield - Canada and the like. On subsequent visits that person was not there and the custodian knew nothing of the visitors book which was unfortunate as I think it could have been useful for family historians. The chapel never seems to change - it is quite beautiful and serene. My second husband and I had hoped to marry there but unfortunately, in spite of numerous requests by many people (who I assume have some link to it) this is not allowed.
Copped HallI was brought up in Paris Hall, lived there throughout the 60s (remember the Bergls next door) and as children we would play in the overgrown gardens of Copped Hall, imagining the legendary secret passage that led to Waltham Abbey.
Stradey CastleStradey Castle opened its doors in March this year for the general public to view this beautiful historic house, I was fortunate enough to get there to do the heritage tour provided by the current owner Patrick Mansel Lewis and his wife Clare. The first part of the tour was around the garden with all the points of interest pointed out to us, beautiful views of the house were also appreciated from many points in the garden. The second part of the tour involved a steep climb to the top of a tower which gave us spectacular views of the Gower Coast. The House was the final part of the tour and is an on-going project, there are many examples of art and period furniture,it also feels like a family home with the current owners' family photos scattered everywhere. Finally tea in the dining room where the owners chatted with all the visitors, they seemed genuinely interested in what everyone thought of the Castle and were interested in ideas for this house to be preserved for future generations. I would definitely recommend a visit to this beautiful house and watch this space this is something special.
Spetchley Park GardensThe gardens were looking lovely last week: a garden to re-visit throughout the summer to find out what's in bloom.
ShugboroughEnjoyed my visit to Shugborough enormously. Lovely house and gardens. Felt quite moved and rather melancholy seeing Patrick Lichfield's private apartment I slightly felt I was invading his privacy.
Dundonald CastleMy wife and I were visiting from Australia and thoroughly enjoyed our vist to Dundonald Castle. It was one of the smaller castles we have visited and from afar looks very much a ruin, but to our surprise it still had so much to offer and to explore both inside and out. The castle site is steeped in history from as far back as the Iron Age and our visit was made so much more interesting with a personal tour with the trust guide named Stacey, who enthusiastically brought the castle's history and past very much to life and made our visit so much fun. Thank you so much and we will certainly spread the word to our friends in Australia that Dundonald Castle is very much worth a visit when visiting Scotland. Many thanks Stacey (I hope we have correctly spelt your name) for your enthusiasm and hospitality. Les & Naomi (Canberra Australia )
Maunsel HouseMaunsel exceeds all expectation! a superb wedding venue, which does not have the "wedding factory" feel of so many other venues we looked at, Maunsel has soul ..... and a little magic. Superb wedding planners - full of enthusiasm and always willing to go "the extra mile" - combined with cheerful and happy service staff to provide a wedding day which ran so faultlessly that guests are still commenting! We could not have asked for more! Quite simply: 5* A huge thank you to Sir Ben and his entire team, for making my daughter and son-in-laws' wedding day into the day of their dreams.
HellensI visited Hellens yesterday with my family and a friend, and have to say it's one of the most interesting houses I have ever been to. It is an absolute treasure-house of wonderful paintings and artifacts which connect us with Britain's long past. We had a most enjoyable guided tour and I am already planning a return visit. It isn't very often that one visits somewhere with such a sense of history and yet feels so close to that story - not at arm's length as in some of the country's more Stately Homes.
Groeswen ChapelSince 2000 over £500,000. has been spent on restoration of the chapel, in recognition of its importance in the development of Welsh Nonconformity. Contributors include CADW, the Welsh Assembly, the Historic Churches Preservation Society, the Heritage Lottery Fund, Caerphilly Council and the Weston Foundation. The Veolia Environmental Trust paid for a new slate roof, the original Meeting House (now the Vestry) refurbished for community use, and the famous graveyard improved giving safer access to the tombs and monuments of notable Welsh poets preachers and musicians. Volunteers from the Gwent Wildlife Trust repaired boundary walls. Inside, the chapel's beauty has been restored with new plasterwork, and the long elegant windows show to effect Sir William Goscombe John's bronze plaque of the chapel's first minister, the Rev. William Edwards, the famed bridge-builder. Groeswen Chapel welcomes pilgrims and tourists alike. Since restoration the congregation has increased in size and vitality. Further information, and visits are available by contacting the Project leader and chairman of Trustees Peter Jones (02920882245 or 07588501848) or June Evans (02920884018).
Rufford AbbeyVisited Rufford Abbey on 25/3/12, easy access and plenty of parking, which was free on the day. The grounds are well kept and so is the lake, which had lots of wildlife,and we saw the odd rabbit/squirrel roaming about in the forest, and there were activities for the kids to join in. The old Abbey itself had seen better days, not much remaining but still interesting. There is a nice cafe and a restaurant close to the Abbey and a souvenir shop at the far end of the lake. All in all we had a good day out, as I said it was free to park on the day we visited, don't know if this is normal practice.
Renishaw HallOne of my favourite places to visit. Beautiful. A hidden gem. Well worth a visit.
Chillington HallMy name is Ameileah and today I visited your farm and woods. I really enjoyed watching John cut the tree down, and I went to see the sheep and the cows. I really enjoyed my visit today 22nd March 2012. I have asked my Mummy and my Nanny if we can come on a visit to your lovely big house.
St German's ChurchA real treasure, one of the Victorian seven wonders of Wales. Wonderfully cared for and cherished by the congregation. An amazing organ, recently restored and the casework repainted to the original design. Sadly there has been some recent liturgical re-ordering, unnecessary and already out of date. Well worth a visit, one step from heaven.
Bletchley ParkFabulous day out, fun for all the family, England's Best fantastic HISTORIC war time Home of the ORIGINAL Code Breakers. I personally love it. My family and I go back time and time again and never tire of hearing our war time history being told. Thank you Bletchley Park for sharing your SECRETS.
Ty MawrTy Mawr is a fabulous place, but not so much of a stately home - in its current state, at least. I believe it was a medieval hall house, but it is now a camping barn. You can stay there for a couple of pounds a night, but you'll need to take your own bedding, cooking equipment, etc. There's also a wonderful little cottage right next door – still basic, but definitely worth visiting. I've stayed there several times – with a group of friends, with my husband, with our two small children, and with another family with young children. It's a fabulous base for a holiday, within easy reach of the mountains and lakes, several beautiful beaches, at least three steam railways, and the ice cream shop in Beddgelert! And it's only about £25 a night, regardless of how many people are staying – and you can fit a surprising number of people under its fairly small roof; I think there are 10 beds/mattresses! 'Y Ty Cymreig' on S4C writes: Ty-Mawr, Nantmor is ... a truly rare survivor, being entirely built using the drystone technique. It is ... a true candidate for the ultimate Welsh house. There are also 19 records related to Ty Mawr in the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
Plas CloughI live there and it's great!
Ardchattan Priory GardenThe garden surrounds the 13th century Priory, now a private dwelling house. It has fine herbaceous and rose borders, plus a long rockery to the front of the house with magnificent views over loch Etive. Either side of the drive are mature trees, interesting shrubs and many spring bulbs. The soil is neutral, so it suits many different plants. The main highlights are the daffodils in April, scattered colour in May and June, some Rhododendrons and Azaleas, plus Prunus, Viburnum and other shrubs. The herbaceous borders are at their best in July and August and Roses peak around the end of June. There are plenty of shrubs with good autumn colour and the main herbaceous border continues to flower well into October. Next to the garden are the ruins of the old Priory chapel, currently in the care of Historic Scotland, it is open with the garden.
East Riddlesden HallWe visited the hall last year and went round with the guide, who made it all the more interesting, well done. We had a walk round the lovely gardens afterwards and bought a few plants for home, a very pleasant afternoon out thanks to the staff, who were very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Strawberry Hill HouseI have a lovely time visiting strawberry hill. The house is quite something, I really liked the library. The room guides were very knowledgeable about the rooms, and I liked the pictures of what the rooms looked like throughout the history of the house. After visiting the house, I had a coffee and scone in the cafe, both very tasty! In the cafe I was visited by one of the resident cats of the house. All in all a very nice day out. I am planning on coming back for their jazz festival in June 2012.
Kentwell HallMy husband and I used to reenact in the Civil War Society and spent two weeks at Kentwell in 1981 on a living history fortnight, this was the year before we got married. It is often talked about by us to our two daughters and now four grandchildren! Very memorable experience, well worth doing if you can. It was a lovely setting and that was back then, no doubt even more stunning now, good luck to you all there.

text: Until about six months ago, I saw risotto as boring and uninspiring. However, since tasting something similar at an awards ceremony, this recipe has become a firm family favourit! Melt 3/4 of your butter in a nice big pan then add the onion and garlic to soften. At this time, you can also make up your stock, by melting a Knorr Chicken stock pot in 1 litre of boiling water.After 2-3 minutes, add the rice and give it a good stir until its all coated in buttery goodness.Add the wine, then after that has soaked in, begin to add in the stock, starting with just a ladleful.Once you've give this a good stir and its been absorbed by the rice, add another ladleful and so on and so forth until almost all of your stock has been absorbed.Once you've added in your last ladle of stock and given it a good stir, add in the soft cheese, Parmesan and peas. I also added a squeeze of lemon juice at this point, just to cut through the creaminess and give it a little kick. Turn the heat down real low and turn your attention to your sea bass. Heat your remaining butter in a frying pan until its all bubbly, then place your fish skin side down.After a few minutes (3-4) the skin should go nice and crispy and you can flip your fish over for another minute or two.Serve up on top of a pile of risotto with a healthy serving of pea shoots on top.

Each Texan has a story to tell. Each story comprises one thread in the special tapestry that is the Lone Star State. Some threads seem to sparkle especially bright, glowing with special passion. Following are eight such Texas stories. Though not household names, these Texans are respected in their fields. By virtue of talent, good luck, and fortitude, they have done extraordinary things. Each story is unique, yet together they reflect an enduring commitment to sense of place.
At age 86, Mary Kemp takes the long view about bluebonnets and history. For more than 30 years she has cultivated both on 220 acres in Mt. Nebo Valley south of Weatherford. Amid 20 acres of bluebonnets, she and her late husband, V. Kemp Jr., created a frontier village featuring a dozen replica structures anchored by the 1856 Thomas J. Shaw log cabin. Since 1980, period-dressed volunteers have welcomed thousands of visitors each spring to the Shaw-Kemp Open House.

Castle Hotel: Great B&B
Very nice hotel - the rooms are very nice, the common areas even nicer (we loved the billiard room), breakfast was excellent, and lots of extra facilities like pool, sauna, even a fish cleaning station. Intimate and low key.

Blackbeards Lodge: A Lucky Choic!
This was the first time I ever stayed for any length of time on Ocracoke and my choice of hotels was certainly one I do not regret making. Blackbeards lodge gets top rating from my wife and myself. Though we were there on off season(Nov) it was truly a pleasure. The atmosphere like a previous post on Blackbeard's is truly Bogey and Bacall. Piano, statue of Edward Teach and other amenities made out stay enjoyable. Even Blackbeard II, the house cat was of a righteous and amiable nature and more then eager to flop down on your lap. The rooms were spotless and the cleanup was meticulous. The hosts were more then friendly when barraged with some of my stupid questions and offered suggestions on the local area to make our stay more enjoyable. We plan to go back next year to Ocracoke and I assure you we will stay at Blackbeards. The cost was reasonable at about 85.00 and while the building is old like most others on Ocracoke everything worked as far as I could tell. As far as the ghosts go, I didnt see, hear or feel any. Darn it!

Ponly Island Motel: Where we always stay.
Pony Island is a very family friendly place with any type of room you might want.
They have a pool and a restaurant on site.
We most recently stayed in one of their suites-be ready to climb 3 flights-and really enjoyed it. The room was great and had just the right amenities: sleeper sofa, kitchenette with fridge, microwave, coffee pot, stove top, separate room with jacuzzi, and a balcony. Cool decorations too.
We stay at Pony Island once or twice a year. Wouldn't really think of staying anywhere else because it fits our needs (we like the outside entrance to the rooms so you can take off your fishing waders/beach clothes and not muck up the inside too).
Don't expect loyalty to get you any type of discount, though. Trying to budget for today's economy for my very small wedding, I asked if there was a possibility for a small discount in the name of frequent guests on their honeymoon-didn't even get a response back.
Pool, restaurant, nice view from the 2nd and especially 3rd floor front balconys.

Blackbeards Lodge: Oldest on the Island
This place was great! Very clean and the staff is very kind and informative. Chip Stevens is the proprietor. He's very friendlyand knowlegable about everything on the island. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a reasonable place to stay on the island. Most rooms have small refrigerators, with all having air-conditioning units, satellite TV and private bathrooms. Pet friendly rooms are available. If you have children, theres a gameroom and swimming pool on the property as well as a grill if you don't have one.

Teeter's Campground: Teeter's Campground
There is definately a abundance of hotels and condos to stay at on this small island. We wanted to camp and since it was off season, we only had a choice between only 2 different private campgrounds. (Teeter's or Beachcombers)
I can't really say I would recommend Teeter's. The campground was noisy and crowded and for about $20 for tent camps we expected more. During the peak-season you can make reservations at National Park Service campgrounds on the beach.
Teeters has 2 small dirty showers with hot water. Electic, cable
Open March 1-November 30th.

Ocracoke is always a good time. I was referred at Howard's Pub to the Slap Me 5. It was a blast. The Slap Me 5 is a 60 foot houseboat with a 60 foot sundeck on top. It had 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and kitchen. The sunsets are beautiful and encompass you while on the sundeck. Offers the perfect location on the island.
60 foot Sundeck
Great sunset View
Great view over Silver Lake

Blackbeard's Lodge: Ocracoke Atmosphere
All right, this place has ambiance. Atmosphere is a big plus in my book, and this place has got it. OK, there are no telephones in the rooms, but I don't really count that as a negative, and it certainly doesn't count against the atmosphere. You could easily imagine this being the setting of a Bogart, Bacall movie.
Oh, and it's supposed to be haunted too.
I can't now remember the room number, but there have reportedly been some very bizarre occurrences in one of the rooms on the second floor. Televisions coming on at full volume when nobody was in the room, AC going haywire, all kinds of things. If you're there ask the owner, she'll fill you in on some the details.
I can tell you that I was walking the halls of the hotel at 4:00am (my dad snores really badly), and the place sounded like it was alive. There were creaking's and groaning's and all sorts of creepy sounds. Strangely enough, they aren't there in the light of day.
Weird, huh?
Ok, on to other things. There was a coffee maker in my room but they didn't have any coffee in the room. They had to grind the beans for me downstairs (which they were very happy to do). They also have free coffee downstairs, along with a bowl of fruit that's not just decoration. There's a nice sitting room, a game room (pool, Pac Man, etc) and a screened in front porch with vending machines on it. Oh, and there is a pay phone outside, on the unscreened part of the porch, but if you use it than you're really wasting the whole experience in my opinion.
The rooms start at around $90.00 or so, a room with one double bed and one twin bed for me and my dad ran us about a hundred a night. They apparently have a room with a whirlpool bath (Jacuzzi lite?) for $130 or so. They also have apartment style rooms available. It's not a luxury hotel, and I'm sure that there are cheaper places on the island, but they're crap and this place has some real old time class.

Lamictal is not the fastest acting drug they often prescribe an antipsychotic if the high is severe You have to find the optimum dosage for Lamictal to be fully effective it can take some time trial and error almost but it is a very good drug and I find that my depression are less severe and that I am overall feeling better with it
I just started Lamictal for bipolar 1 and I had the same thing. I woke up yesterday in a crappy mood and then I had mood swings all day long but then after awhile I calmed down. But that's the only time I've ever had that problem (so far) my psychiatrist started me at 25mg so I'm going up to either 100 er 150 I think I can't remember. But, its probably normal. But everyone is different.
my pdoc started me at 100mg generic lamictal, 150 mg second week. I have bipolar 1. I am now 3 days into week 3. How long does it take to start working, in my case, how long until full effect, I see my pdoc in 10 days. Please help.
Hi there.... I'm bipolar as well..... and have been on Lamictal at one time. Unfortunately I was allergic to it and my face and chest broke out in this blood red rash..... very scarey. But, I have a close friend who is on it and it is working for her...... she said that it took about a week and a half before she felt like it was settling into her system........ and she began to feel better. I'm on Serequel XR myself and I remember it was about the same amount of time on that drug..... I just thing you have to give it a bit more time.... I know you're feeling low right now.... and I know how that feels.... I'm so sorry you're in this down place right now...... I'm sending you good thoughts and wishes and prayers that you will begin to feel better really soon. if not..... don't forget to call your therapist or Psych........take care dear heart!
I think that should depend upon What's its mg and the condition of the person taking it? Lamictal is not just an antidepressant btw. I used to buy it for someone who suffered from some other issue.

I'm 100% sure you should ask some professional about it. Here you won't find anything useful. Go.
I've been on it for six months. It doesn't make me feel like a zombie or anything. It is really good at keeping me feeling good but not allowing me to get manic. That's just me though.
I'm glad I could help. I know how bad it sucks to get on new meds for bi-polar. They switched mine around like 3 times at first. Good luck and feel free to contact me if you have any other questions about meds or bi-polar. If I can help I will

- Gluten free kitchenNEGirlDined on 11/22/2014I have food restrictions and the waiter was able to point out things on the menu for me. He explained their kitchen is gluten free. They go overboard to let you know they can work with you to prepare a dish you can eat and will like. I had the rubbed tofu over black rice and my friend had the fried brussel sprouts. We split a kale salad. Everything was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding food!BuzcoDined on 11/21/2014Our table of 4 enjoyed our meal immensely. From the delightful iced tea service to the beautiful appetizers to the perfect entrees to the scrumptious chocolate cake, we thought it was the best restaurant experience we have had in years!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yummy yummyDelectableDined on 11/16/2014Food was very delicious. I loved the kale salad! Burger was supposed to be M but silightly over cooked. Pork was the best ive ever had. Also the scallops were melt in your mouth wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Asheville FaveFoodiebell0626Dined on 11/16/2014We have been to Posana multiple times, and we will continue to return again and again. The food is always superb (I've literally never had a complaint), and the service is excellent. Furthermore, I am gluten free, and it is unheard of for me to be able to order ANYTHING from the menu. My husband, who is not gluten free, could also eat here any day of the week. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, regardless of their dietary needs/restrictions, and I cannot wait to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful decor. Attentive Service. So-so food.BenLfromCantonDined on 11/16/2014We met friends from TN for brunch, and were impressed by the location of the restaurant -- right down town in Asheville on Pack Square. We received a quiet table toward the back with a good waitress serving us. She was attentive, caring, and ensured we were ok throughout the meal. Unfortunately, the food was bland; and the menu did little to inspire a return. My wife had the special soup, a Potato Soup with Horseradish, that only had a small hint of the condiment. Her quinoa salad was acceptable, although very little spice was added to highlight the salad. Another in our party ordered the Greek Omelette which consisted of, among other things, Greek Olives and Feta with Cheese Grits on the side. Although the bright yellow presentation of the omelette piqued the senses, the taste was mediocre at best. The omelette was short on ingredients that would have classified it as 'Greek' and more concerned with how it looked on the plate. The grits were 'gritty' without the smooth, creamy taste expected from well-cooked grits. We went expecting more from a restaurant that came highly recommended and came away disappointed.
- Perfect ChoiceSpitzieDined on 11/15/2014Recently new to gluten free world, but husband was not overly optimistic...both of us were impressed with the whole experience. Reservations are a must here - we were there on a Sat. night and they must have turned away at least 35 people between 7-9! We were early and had a drink at bar - bartenders were extremely nice and helped us pick wine. Once seated, our server was also very attentive. Food far exceeded our expectations...the best kale salad ever! We had the steak and duck and they were both perfect. Dessert was also wonderful - couldn't believe it was all gluten free.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It was GREAT!!JackieDined on 11/15/2014I got the ribeye and it was amazing!! Nicely tenderized and full of flavor! Will definitely eat here again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous Farm to Table FoodpinkpollyDined on 11/15/2014Staff are really friendly and informative. The food is fresh, clean and you can really taste the difference in farm produce, yummy!! Great wine list that is sustainable and organic. Worth staying for at least 2 hours and enjoying every course....Notable eye spy was the sweet tea (elaborate to say the least). Oh and triple filtered water!! Nice to not taste tap water...Would thoroughly recommend and we will return on our next visit to Asheville.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a Winner!KatieDined on 11/11/2014I love Posana Cafe because I don't need to worry about adhering to my gluten free diet! This restaurant is an oasis for people with celiac disease, but you would never know that all of the food is gluten free - it's all so delicious! We started with the apple beignets (DELICIOUS!) and each enjoyed our entrees. I loved that I could order chocolate cake AND have a bit of my boyfriend's tiramisu - all gluten free. Posana Cafe is my favorite part about visiting Asheville!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent dinnermargaretDined on 11/1/2014My husband and I were in Asheville for the weekend. Selected Posana based on it's menu, Contemporary American, Farm to Table, and location. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and contemporary furnishings. We ordered cauliflower soup, kale salad, duck breast, trout with pastrami spices and maple cheesecake. Everything was delicious. We also discovered a nice affordable NC wine "Ring of Fire". It was a lovely evening.Special Features:
- Posana ExcellenceFarmGirlFoodieDined on 10/31/2014From the ambiance to the wait staff and out the door, this restaurant beams with excellence! Martini was cold, delicious, and served in the throwback glass. Our server smiled and genuinely seemed to love her job. I had the beet salad with Three Graces goat cheese. I make this myself, but Posana's was much more flavorful, with small beet squares, a blast of tangy grapefruit and nutty pistachio. The goat cheese was mixed in with a smooth and creamy consistency. My Pastrami trout hinted of coriander with a tinge of pumpkin flavor. The cabbage added just the right pickling zing. Small tasty cauliflower underneath the fish satisfied my veggie longing. For dessert, I had the apple crisp with fresh, tart and sweet fruit and soft buttery crumbsSpecial Features:
- Superb!dawnaVIPDined on 10/31/2014Possibly the best meal we've ever had in Asheville. The duck breast was outstanding!Special Features:

- Excellentmlo10Dined on 10/18/2014A gem in the heart if downtown. Ambience very nice....happening, but not too loud for a nice relaxing meal and conversation. Service-prompt and courteous, not overbearing. Time from order to recieving was right on- perfect for a leisurely meal including apps, entree, dessert. Good beer and wine list. The food was excellent! Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that my entree, while good, was not quite as taste-bud tantalizing as the apps and my fellow diners' entrees. (Apps: seared tuna and seared sea scallops...both wonderful. Entrees: I had the chicken....I sampled the duck breast and ribeye- chicken:flavors nice but a tad over-cooked; ribeye complex flavors and duck- savory). Quinoa & collards wonderful! Desserts were heavenly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing and gluten freeamazingDined on 10/18/2014We are here three times durring our two days in asheville. I have celiac so gluten free is very important. I had no idea gluten free food could taste so good. The baked goods were like heaven. Make a reservation, if you don't you will be waiting an hour or more, the 3 times we came in it was fully booked and stayed that way.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- decline in qualitythomasoDined on 10/17/2014Having visited Posana several times before, I was disappointed that the quality of the food has declined. The wines were adequate but overpriced. Too bad--this used to be a fine restaurant.Special Features:

- Our FavoriteJoshwDined on 10/11/2014Posana has been a blessing to my wife & I. The outstanding food, service, and attention to putting the customer first is second to none. This is by far our favorite restaurant, so much so that anytime we are passing through Asheville we will call ahead for take out. My wife has silliacs disease which makes eating out a risky option. Posana takes that worry away and on top of it gives us a great "part of the family" feeling when we walk in. Couldn't be happier with everything about this place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Never disappointsjustjavaVIPDined on 10/9/2014We have eaten at Posana´s many times, by ourselves and with friends. The food is always great, with menu changes that reflect what's available locally presented in a delicious and innovative way.Stellar service, and knowledgeable wait staff.Special Features:
- ExperienceHonestDined on 10/1/2014I would have to say, the food wasn't anything to write home about. I thought the restaurant was well over priced and light on the wine pours. I can buy the same Scotch, four bucks cheaper down the street and get a better meal for a lot less. The chicken was great, the potatoes were cold and the collards were like leather. Just being honest here because the people should know.
- Noisy with decent foodFlavorMattersDined on 9/27/2014Me and my wife had a disappointing experience at Posana Cafe this past Sat night. We arrived with high expectations given our dining experience the day before at Rhubarb (next door) and Curate (which is simply amazing). The ambience was not what we expected. It was too bright and we were seated next to a group of 15 or so girls who seemed like they were out on prom night. It was *very* loud. The wine list was average. The food was satisfactory. I ordered the chicken and my wife got the trout and both came out well. Nice presentation, good flavor but nothing spectacular. Given the choices of restaurants available close by (the 2 I already mentioned plus there is Kathmandu and Salsas nearby), I would pass on Posana next time.Special Features:
- All Gluten Free with StylejzftwDined on 9/27/20143 people in my family are Gluten Free. While vacationing around Asheville I heard about this all GF restaurant. Although it can be a bit more than I would normally spend on a meal for 5 (163 + tip) it was more than worth it. The staff was very welcoming and accommodated off the menu cocktails for my father, the food blew me away let alone my father, mother and sister who have very strict diets. We would suggest the yellow fin appetizer, the grass fed burger, the trout, the chicken and definitely one of their signature cocktails. If you didn't goto their website or hear about them verbally, you wouldn't know that every food item is GF, as its not stated anywhere on the menu. Posana can pull that off with their fame and class.Special Features:
- Okay at bestQuebecFoodieDined on 9/26/2014Posana is a beautifully decorated restaurant. With that, it is too loud, the tables are not suited for an intimate group of 5, way too spread out...way to noisy...The food is just okay, my trout was not good at all. The ribeye was not tender, rubbery at best...my chopped kale salad was delicious and the dessert we all shared was nice. The ladies room needs a big uplift, and clean up. The service was warm and caring, but far from professional...if I was back in Asheville, I would skip this one...We did enjoy our wine selection.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Gluten free...delicious!!beckiferDined on 9/26/2014Everything we had was amazing!!! Who knew that eating gluten free could be so delicious!Special Features:

- DeliciousScobeyDined on 9/23/2014Loved my first visit to Posana. The goat cheese salad and the kale salad were delicious. The redfish was also very good. Will return in the future!Special Features:
- Gluten Free Paradise!melinncVIPDined on 9/21/2014The entire menu is gluten free...for those of us who suffer from gluten allergies, but still love food, this is rare...and even rarer that it is SO GOOD! We dined during a Sunday brunch. I had a hamburger with a real hamburger bun made fresh in the restautant. My husband had a chicken sandwich with pimento cheese on foccacia. Being a good southern girl who misses her biscuits I HAD to order a biscuit as well.....OMG!!! SO GOOD! In fact, I took another one for the road, and added a scone and a muffin for breakfast later in the week. The food is fresh, flavorful, and if you didn't know it was GF you could never tell. Service was leisurely but very attentive. Portions were ample and we both left extremely satisfied.Special Features:
- Small portions, but expensivedtgoneDined on 9/21/2014One of these problems should be fixed! either give me more for what you are charging, or charge me less for these tiny portions! Service, ambiance, were great!Special Features:

Quasimoto was and still is Madlib's outlet for his most cartoonishly eccentric tendencies – and he really lets 'em fly on this set! The Unseen LP had more strains of the smoky jazz vibe of 'Lib's more mature productions – buried underneath the wacky funk and Quas/'Lib's instantly identifiable, hilarious mouthbreather rhymes. This one keeps it surreal throughout – sort of a cross between Madvillain, Prince Paul and a Max Fleischer cartoon – with Melvin Van Peebles dropping in here and there! Tracks include "Bullysh*t", "Greenery", "Crime", "Hydrant Game", "Don't Blank", "Bus Ride", "Bartender Say", "The Exclusive" feat MED, "Closer" feat Madvillain, "Strange Piano", "Life Is. . .", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and more. CD version also includes the tracks "Civilization Day" and "Rappcats Pt. 3". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

A little post about a little piece for a little instrument
My publisher, Lewis Mitchell at Josef Weinberger Ltd., plays the piccolo, and a couple of years ago I wrote him a little piece as a gift – a one-page sonatina in one movement, lasting one minute … but in proper sonata form (1st and 2nd themes, development, recapitulation, and coda). It was written mainly as a joke, but he asked me if he could include it in a recital programme he was planning. I was delighted, decided to expand it into three (still small) movements, and a few weeks ago it was published.
A practical decision of this pianist-composer: better to have such a piece unaccompanied, because when a piccolo is playing with full force there's no chance of hearing the piano.

The economics of beans or "Why the heck would you bother?"
- Monch Jan 14, 2013 12:30 PM
I'm trying to get more legumes into my diet and am an inveterate cheapskate.
Assuming that quality is equivalent, has anyone "done the math": Is making beans from dried a significantly better bargain than buying canned?
For example, assuming my labor is free, is it cheaper to cook a pound or two of black beans, freezing the extras, than it is to buy an equivalent number of cans?
The next level would, of course, be a discussion of quality. Home cooking would allow me to be certain of what's going into, or not going into, the pot.
Any experiences, thoughts, or snorts of derision over my issue will be appreciated.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Saw this after I posted... looks like the 50% number is a good guess!
It is definitely cheaper--here is one cost breakdown:
I like to have dried beans on hand at all times, but leave myself the freedom to pick up a can (or my favorite, frozen bags of chickpeas) when I don't have the time of inclination to plan ahead.
I do not see any appreciable difference in taste, only texture. For example for hummus I preferred canned.
I think it depends. I live in a heavily Hispanic neighborhood, so canned beans are plentiful on the grocery store shelves and are often on sale. Regular price on dry beans is around $1.59 for a one-pound bag, and the dry ones don't go on sale as frequently - if they do, they might be marked down to $1 per pound. A pound of dry beans yields maybe 6 cups of cooked beans (which is the equivalent of 4 cans).
Canned beans are about $.99 a can regular price, but they are ALWAYS on sale somewhere - 3 for $2 is a typical sale price, but often my stores will have them as a loss leader so you can get 3-4 cans for $1. Anyway, if I get them 3 for $2, dry is a better deal, obviously - 4 cans would cost me $2.66 as compared to the $1.59 for a pound of dry. However, for the dollar in savings, I never bother, especially since I can usually find cans even cheaper than 3 for $2. We don't eat too many beans, though, and for me it is far more convenient to have cans in the pantry than to have home-cooked beans crowding my freezer.
As for quality, I buy Goya canned beans and I find them perfectly good. Home cooked are good too, but not better than Goya, IMO.
Working from a thought experiment since I haven't measured the exact yield from 1 lb of beans, but I see 1 lb of cooked black beans is about 6 cups while a can of black beans is about 1 1/2 cups (drained).
Basically, 3 to 4 cans is equivalent to 1 lb of dried black beans.
Intangibles... you can control ingredients when you start from scratch.
re: dave_c
especially salt and other additives.
The big drawback to using dry beans is that you have to plan in advance. Other than that, there's not a whole lot of extra labor involved: I put the beans out to soak the day before I plan to cook them (a whole minute of my time), then about 24 hours later simmer then for an hour or so - again, very little of my time required but I have to be around to make sure they don't boil dry and burn. Some people swear by slow cookers for cooking their beans, which is even less bother. The beans and broth freeze well, if there are any leftovers.
I think the quality is better (no added sodium, for example), and the variety of dry beans available is much greater than canned. I've been growing and drying my own borlotto beans for a few seasons - they're practically a foolproof crop.
Prices vary, but the cheaper, commodity beans like kidneys, pintos, black, navy, garbanzos are usually cheaper on a per pound basis than the canned - and you're not paying bean prices for the water and salt in the cans. If you come to really like beans you can pay $$ for rare and specialty beans like the ones Rancho Gordo sells, but I've found them good quality for the price - and I never like lima beans before making theirs.
re: tardigrade
Goya produces some canned beans with no salt added. How widely they are distributed may be another issue. They still usually cost more than dry beans even after allowing for the energy used in cooking dry beans.
Per this thread, there are 4-5 cans of beans to a lb of dry beans http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/504359. Depending on what kind of beans, whether on sale or organic, the cost is ~ $0.75 to $2.00 per can. For dry, it ranges from $1.50 to $4 per lb (not counting super specialty beans that you can't get canned). So with the free labor assumption, dry beans are about 1/2 the cost of canned.
re: jaykayen
I've had some dried bean disasters, like beans that never got soft or burned in the crock. This is why I went back to canned beans and now buy only Eden Foods ones - their cans liners do not have BPA. I know the cost savings is there but busy working parents have to balance cost and convenience all the time and this is one place where "convenience" wins for me. I do not have the freezer space for 10 different kinds of beans but 1 can is perfect for my family size on many occasions, and I don't have to thaw them first.
I like to make a huge pot of beans, then freeze them in small quantities so they are always available. Usually pinto and black.
Canned beans and dried beans cooked are a whole different thing. Canned pork and beans, very hot, poured over hot buttered whole wheat toast, with a pickle on the side and a mug of hot tea, is a greasy spoon delicacy in England ("Beans on Toast") and a darned good lunch. But a big pot of dried navy or Great Northern or lima beans cooked with a ham bone and a few boiled potatoes, served with chopped raw onion, is a US Depression delicacy. Both wonderful. Different.
re: Querencia
My mother's family loved (and loves) ham and beans. But I have NEVER heard of it prepared or served with potatoes? And although they did enjoy raw onion frequently, it was never chopped and served with ham and beans. The usual accompanyment was cornbread, no wheat flour and no sugar. Do you have a region on this? Very interesting!
re: sandylc
Sandy, I hadn't looked at the username when I saw this, and thought "that's a Hoosier writing that description of ham and beans"
Then I looked at the name and knew it had to be you! LOL -- and yes, that's how my family made it, too.
I'm another one who has no problem with canned, and keeps them on hand for quick meals, but I"'ll make them from dried any time I can.
(13-bean soup with a ham bone and some kale -- wintry perfection)
re: sunshine842
Ha!! True! But these ham and beans hark from my mom's side of the family in deep southern Illinois - probably kind of the same thing as in Indiana, in many ways. Great comfort food, which by the way, I wouldn't touch until I was an adult (formerly a picky eater, me).
I stock both. I like Goya canned black beans for an easy meal of black beans & rice, and canned red kidney beans as well for quick, easy, light (meatless) meals. Both are cheaply available here, especially if one watches for sales. But, some soups and dishes are nicer with dried beans, for those I exert more control over the dish prep and invest more time. I only use dried lentils and peas for cooking, as well, because they keep well in the cupboard and don't take up much space, and it's just a personal preference. I haven't noticed any particular cost effectiveness of one over the other, but I'm fortunate to not have to get by on a shoestring budget at this point in my life. Buying in bulk can be cost effective but it's always good to do some comparisons ahead of making expenditures if one's finances are tight, and to not assume one way is cheaper, stores can vary in what they put on sale, what they charge for their goods, regardless of whether they specialize in bulk purchases, or what is a sale price for them.
SO on the other hand would be most put out if there weren't Campbell's pork-n-beans on hand to accompany his semi-annual hotdog craving. Bargain or luxury item, it has to be in the kitchen. :)
For me, a can of chickpeas costs about $2-3. The equivalent amount of chickpeas, made from dried, costs maybe 25-50 cents.
The other factor is that beans cooked from dried taste way better than those from a can. Plus, you have the cooking liquid, which makes a great base/addition for stew or curry or soup (I've also had vegetarians swear by it to add depth to vegetarian versions of dishes like spaghetti sauce or chili).
Dried beans do take advance notice - you generally need to know the night before that you want them. But they freeze beautifully, so if you make a big batch periodically - put them to soak in the morning, cook after dinner, cool, and package in the morning - you can have them ready whenever you want.
I buy canned beans for the convenience. The brands I usually purchase are: Goya, Vitarroz, Iberia, Progresso, and Strianese. ALL good. I bought two one-pound bags of Lentils at Walmart for $1.08 each. I couldn't pass them up because it seemed like a really good price to me.
Nah, I'll save the snorts (done at home privately, and not vented here, naturally) and just answer the question, Monch.
Dried beans are definitely cheaper, especially if you buy them in bulk. (make sure they're fresh.) They also taste much, much better than the can, where you'll find them packed in a thick, viscous liquid which is salt and preservative loaded. That's not to say I don't use them, because I do - but given the choice of fresh over tinned, fresh wins ever' last time.
I know dried beans seem like a hassle because of the time involved, but there actually is almost NO hands-on time. I mean, you don't have to be home to watch the beans soak, nor do you have to be there to watch them cook, unless you have fears about leaving something on the stove...in which case, you can be doing laundry or watching something crappy on T.V. :) You might also consider buying a flame tamer, which distributes a low flame equally and safely. What sorts of things are you considering making?
I love beans of most any kind, not only for budget concerns and health reasons, but because they're just so damn delicious and versatile. And now that I've read this thread, I have plans to make Cuban black beans, picadillo, yellow rice and fried bananas with lemon. Yum. (I'll be using fresh - but as I said, I don't object to canned at atll - they're one of the canned products I use most frequently.
While my labor may be free, the pre-planning involved and the quantity that I cook in (I live alone) detract from the usefulness to me of cooking with dried beans. I see beans as one of those great items to make a quick meal with whatever's left in the fridge.
Also, I enjoy cooking with a range of beans - and so even if I were to commit to preparing the bulk dried variety to have frozen and ready to use (something i rarely do anyways given my limited freezer space) it has the greater likelihood of making me grow weary of one kind of bean (or dish) and not using the whole batch (and thus wasting whatever previous economic value there was to begin with).
It's far more practical for me to have a few cans around of the beans I like (and will most likely consume the entire batch I make with that can over a few meals). Where it becomes more economical for me is that on a night I'm tired (or lazy), and make a quick dish with canned beans - I'm not getting a take away.
re: Terrie H.
I got through my master's degree on a 130 lbs. of dried pinto beans and 4 bushels of fresh NM chiles, 2 red and 2 green, fresh from the farm. Thirty five years latter, I continue to the same w/ 2 sacks of dried red, & 90 lbs.of fresh green and 2 50 lb. bags of pintos from the farm .
The secret to using dried beans is to let them soak overnight, where the begin relaease protien and use a pressure cooke where they can be cooked in 1/2 hr. I also make Boston baked beans, garbanzos for hummus and black beans this.is cheap, easy and nutricious method. I hate stuff in cans!
re: Passadumkeg
That's a whole lot of beans! Did you actually weigh your master's degree worth of beans?
re: Terrie H.
re: Passadumkeg
Not a big surprise, but I love your story.
I prefer to use dried beans when I am making a soup or stew because I find canned beans are too soft to hold up to being cooked for an extended length of time - they just tend to get mushy and fall apart. So when I prepare beans for that purpose, I "slightly" undercook them; they finish cooking after I add them to the soup or stew, which allows them also to take on the flavors of whatever I am cooking.
However, if I am making, say, a bean salad or something which is cooked quickly, then it doesn't matter. Canned beans are perfect in this application - no preplanning required, no worries about mushy beans.
I think it is cheaper. I am also lazy. I dump a bag of dried beans in my 6 qt crock pot. I fill it with water and cook chick peas 9 hours. Black beans take 8 hours to cook. No soak needed. Crock pot automatically turns off so I do it while I sleep .
Well the $ question has been answered for you. No snorting here but my fat cat is snoring nearby.
Quality is the next step: I choose the beans that I cook from dry, and I choose what goes in the pot with them. Sometimes I want plain beans to dress for various dishes, and sometimes I want to load them with garlic and spices from the get-go. I don't want salt level pre-determined and I don't want unnecessary preseravtives.
Plus beans such as the Rancho Gordo beans are really terrific beans, more flavorful, fresher and more predictable cookers than your average supermarket bag. Aaaannd once you get into spendy beans, you lose the "bargain" angle of bean cookery; you trade it for flavor/variety/control.
All that said, I keep a few cans of black beans, garbanzos, black-eyed peas, and Bush's Grillin Beans stashed for "must cook this tonight" recipes. Rarely used but give peace of mind.
Another positive about scratch-cooking beans is the cooking liquid or pot liquor -- a wonderful thing and full of nutrients. You have to rinse off and discard the liquid in canned beans. And you don't need to presoak dried beans if you have pressure cooker. I just cooked unsoaked dried black beans day before yesterday -- 22 minutes at full pressure, 15 minutes cool down time. Came out perfect. Freezing leftovers when you cook a large pot is a good plan and a huge time saver. If you slightly undercook the portion you will freeze, you don't even really have to thaw them before adding them to soups or stews.
re: Cheese Boy
I think many people rinse canned beans (and most cookbooks and even the directions on some cans of beans tell you to) because the canning liquid often has a metallic taste and can be very starchy and salty. I've just plopped it in, too, when I need extra starch and liquid anyway, but it's nowhere as good as the liquid from scratch-cooked beans.

Hi Simon
Are the laptops being used in only one room or across the school? If only one room, consider whether it is likely to expand across the school and plan for that now, otherwise you will invest in kit that may be of no use to you in 12months time if you need to expand it to a managed system.
You mention two AP's; so you have two options (IMO), 1) configure each AP with a different SSID and assign teh SSID to half the laptops, then the same with the other AP, 2) the AP's sort them selves, however you are describing a managed solution, rather than two unmanaged fat AP's.
N can run up to 300Mbps, so you will definately want gigabit back to the switch otherwise the cabling will be the weak link.
With regards to teh OS, I wouldn't imagine many would recommend using a home OS in a corporate/education network.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The number of foreign children adopted by U.S. parents plunged by 18 percent last year, to the lowest level since 1992, due in part to Russia's ban on adoptions by Americans.
Figures released Friday by the State Department for the 2013 fiscal year showed 7,094 adoptions from abroad, down from 8,668 in 2012 and down 69 percent from the peak of 22,884 in 2004.
As usual, China accounted for the most children adopted in the U.S, with 2,306.
Ethiopia was second at 993, down from 1,568 in 2012. Ethiopian authorities have been trying to place more abandoned children with relatives or foster families.
Russia, which had been No. 3 on the list in 2012, with 748 children adopted by Americans, dropped to 7th for 2013, with 250 children.
