How to Measure a Man's Shirt Size:
The biggest mistake that men make when buying a dress shirt is that they buy a size too small. The collar on the shirt always shrinks when the shirt is laundered. And don't get the idea that shirts that go to the dry cleaner don't shrink. They do. Therefore, if the measurement around your neck is 16 ½" buy a 17-17 ½" shirt.
- Instructions
- Measuring for the sleeve length is pretty simple once you know how to do it. With a tape measure in hand, find the knot at the top of the spine and at the bottom of the man's neck. From the center of the knot at the neck, measure across to the shoulder and straight down the extended arm. The knot at the wrist bone is the next stopping place. Add 1" to that measurement to get the shirt sleeve length. Shirt sleeve lengths run 32-33", 34-35", 36-37, etc. You can order smaller or larger sizes from various Web sites. And don't forget, shirt sleeves shrink when they are laundered. A half-inch longer is better than a half inch too short.
- The overall proportions of the man must be taken into consideration. A man who is slender through the torso or more beefy can choose specialty sizes. A slender man can have a shirt altered by a tailor if necessary. But a larger man won't be able to button the shirt if the incorrect size is purchased.
- As a tailor myself, most of my shirt customers have trouble in the torso area. Men who work out with weights or are naturally broad shouldered are the ones that I usually see. To accommodate the large shoulders the purchased shirt is too big through the torso. At one point in time the Philadelphia Eagles had their summer training camp in West Chester, Pa. It you want to talk about some out-of-proportion young men, take a good look at a football player. I felt sorry for these guys because they would love to be able to buy a shirt off-the-rack that fits.
- If you find a brand that fits you well, stick with it. One of my customers, a computer science professor from West Chester University, found a brand that works perfectly for him. Calvin Klein, Slim Fit fits him to a tee. Although he no longer needs my tailoring, I am happy that he has found something that works for him.
- Take the time to learn about what size works for you. Before you go to a store to buy a shirt, have someone take your measurements following these directions. If you know what size you are looking for, it is less likely that a salesperson will sell you the wrong size. This same philosophy goes for moms, wives and girlfriends. Make sure that they know what size you wear. It will save you all of the hassle of returning the shirt or spending time and money to have it tailored to fit you.
How to Wear a Men's Shirt:
If you're tired of the clothes in your closet but don't have money to spend on anything new, why not look to the men in your house for different things to wear? Men's shirts can be a great addition to your wardrobe and, best of all, if you borrow one from someone you know, it won't cost you a dime.
- Instructions
- Wear a white men's button down shirt untucked with leggings and flats to be comfortable and look modern at the same time.
- Belt an over-sized men's shirt over skinny jeans and add some long necklaces to step out on the town in style.
- Slip a fitted vest or sweater shell over a fitted men's shirt with a pencil skirt for a sleek effect that is appropriate for the office.
- Cuff the sleeves of a men's shirt up and wear a colored long-sleeve fitted top underneath with corduroys for a weekend outing.
- Try a men's shirt part-way open over a tank top and a jean skirt and tights.
- Cover the men's shirt with a v-neck long sweater and slacks and just the let the collar and cuffs peak out to completely change the look.
- Throw a men's button down shirt over a black cocktail dress and tie it at the waist. This is an easy way to tone down a more formal style.
- Tie the shirt over a silver sequin tank dress and add black tights and black platform shoes to look very "now" and fresh.
How to Wash Men's Dress Shirts:
A sharp looking dress shirt looks fabulous on any man. There is nothing more sophisticated than a crisp, white formal shirt on a professional business man. Learning how wash dress shirts is essential to caring for them properly. Correct washing and pressing techniques can make your dress shirt look much more spectacular. On the flip side, a poorly washed dress shirt looks very tacky. Men and women should always know how to wash dress shirts of any fit or fabric.
- Instructions
- Search for stains before washing dress shirts. Common stain locations are on the collar, cuffs, right down the front or under the arms.
- Rub your stain stick on located stains immediately, this is best done as soon as you discover a stain and again several minutes before washing dress shirts. The quicker you act on a stain, the better chance you will have of getting it to come out.
- Turn your washing machine temperature dial to luke warm and soak your dress shirt for a few minutes. Use the gentle cycle when you wash dress shirts and any other high quality items.
- Lay flat to dry or place in dryer with tumble dry no heat. This is to prevent the shirt from shrinking.
- Press with steam iron to give that crisp, finished look. The steam will help protect the fabric.
How to Wash:
Cotton is a durable, soft fiber, and most clothes today are made of it. Cotton is a natural vegetable fiber knitted and woven into fabrics of many textures and weights. While cotton shirts, pants and suits are wardrobe staples for both men and women. Whether your cotton fabrics are voile, organdy, batiste or linen, you can wash them at home and keep these breathable materials clean and pristine.
•l .Pretreat any stains with detergent and cold water. Place one to two teaspoons of liquid detergent on the stains before you load the clothes in the washing machine. Put your cotton fabrics in a small basin filled with cold water. After soaking the fabric for 15 to 30 minutes, gently rub the stain with a short-bristled brush. Roll your shirts, pants or blouses in a large towel to remove the water
•l Machine washes white and light-colored cotton fabrics in warm or hot water. If you are concerned with shrinking or bleeding, fill the machine with cold water and use a gentle washing cycle
•l Rinse your cotton fabrics on a cool cycle. Use minimal agitation to avoid shrinkage
•l Shake garments after removal from the machine to remove wrinkles
•l Dry cotton fabrics at a low or regular dryer setting. Dry towels and underwear on a hot setting. To prevent shrinking, remove cotton fabrics from the dryer while still damp. Hang in a cool and well-ventilated area to dry
Hand-wash lightweight fabrics, such as batiste, organdy and voile in a small basin filled with lukewarm water and one tablespoon of liquid detergent. Hang to dry or press damp with a hot iron to remove wrinkles

- 1 x Mens Sweatshirt

Septimus News and WEG Update
I saw yesterday that Bill Coffin, ex-Palladium author and writer of the long-delayed Septimus RPG, stated that WEG's Eric Gibson had simply stopped returning his emails. It sounds like if there's a future for Septimus, it might be in fiction, not RPGs.
"I had been warned that I might get burned doing business with Eric. He's a very nice guy and his heart is really in the right place. But it doesn't look like this project was ever on very steady ground. I just feel bad for anybody who ever wanted the game. You guys have been jerked around so badly on this.
I need to check my Septimus contract once more and see what I can still do with it. I think I might have just signed over the RPG rights, in which case, I'll get on developing this as a novel series, which had been my original intent".
--Bill Coffin
Eric Gibson's rebuttal to all this?
"I'm must admit that at times a stress reaction for me is to disconnect, but this is not the case right now. I don't have the TIME to communicate as much as people would like me to. Moreover, it is a simple matter of priorities. As much as people might be angered, hurt or suprised in me saying so, virtually every other activity in my life has priority over WEG at this point in time. It's not a stress reaction. At least not directly. I'm not angry, stressed (with regards to WEG), or any such negative emotional state. I am -- nothing. I'm wholly apathetic to the publishing field in general. It simply a matter or identifying what things in my life can contribute to some kind of positive future for myself and my family, and it is high time I realized that WEG is not able to do that for me".
--Eric Gibson
Ya think? Look, you gotta put family first, but don't jerk everyone else along because of it. Take a deuce or get off the pot.
I think it's time that we few remaining d6 fans give up on seeing anything substantial from West End Games (if indeed we have not already), either in terms of support for an open system initiative or any sort of new gaming material. Given the track record of Mr. Gibson, I'm not sure why anyone would believe anything will ever come of any of this, no matter how good his intentions. As of now, it sounds like his intentions are to engage in pure publishing apathy, so perhaps that's one plan that will be seen through.
How frustrating.

I really wish Eric Gibson would sell WEG for a reasonable amount and be done with it. It's obvious that he's priorities have shifted away from WEG (he even wrote he wasted 7 years of his life on the company). I can't understand why he clings to the company when he really doesn't want to do anything with it?

If you long for the days of the d6 system, just go here:
I gave up on Eric (and WEG by extension) years ago and I continue to be amazed by folks who continue to give him the benefit of the doubt.
- March 15, 2010 at 8:10 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Stargazer: Pride, maybe?
@Sniderman: Very true. WEG's silliness should not detract from the fine work we've seen from other folks on products like MiniSix and Six-Sided Fantasy.
- March 15, 2010 at 8:24 AM
- WalkerP said...
Somebody said he still gets revenue from one of the WEG board games, Junta maybe? I don't know, either way, I'm pretty much done giving Gibson the benefit of the doubt. I think he actually still thinks he can get some money out of it and that's why he did things like his opend6 project, instead of just opening the system up.
- March 15, 2010 at 8:40 AM
- P. S. Mangus said...
I was truly excited about Open D6, and felt it might actually bring WEG back out of the abyss. I think seeing Eric give up when he seemed to be in the home stretch with the project disappoints me more than anything.
Having said that, Mini Six and Six-Sided Fantasy are projects that I can and will support. I think it is great that the D6 community is still around, even if its numbers are small.
I hope Mr. Coffin can somehow recoup his losses on the Septimus project, and I wish Eric all the best in his quest for peace outside the gaming industry.
- March 15, 2010 at 8:40 AM
- Zachary The First said...
And you know, that's the thing. I understand about putting family first. Putting your family first is honorable, and what a man should do, in my estimation. That said, if you're going to do that, you need to communicate that fact so you aren't stringing people along, and that hasn't happened.
- March 15, 2010 at 9:28 AM
- Jason Richards said...
Eric has had opportunities to sell D6, but has passed. I didn't understand that decision at the time, and it makes even less sense now. If he's concerned about supporting his family and such, and he's not going to do anything with D6, why not sell it? Then again, much of WEG's maneuvering doesn't make sense to me.

- Rognar said...
I bought the pdf of Septimus from DriveThruRPG and it's a pretty solid setting. It would be a shame if there is nothing more forthcoming, although it makes an excellent sandbox for a d6 space game right now
- March 15, 2010 at 11:06 AM
- rologutwein said...
As big of a D6 fan as I am, WEG certainly does hold a place in my heart. But the company has been circling the drain ever since they lost Star Wars (in my opinion). This isn't to say they haven't produced some great and interesting stuff since then, but I doubt if any of it was profitable (obviously not enough to keep the company running). While I agree that Eric should either sh*t or get off the pot, I wonder if there is any real value left in the name 'West End Games' from a branding point of view. As much as I'd like for there to be a rebirth of D6, I don't really see it happening in a gaming industry that seems to be returning to its 'underground' roots—Not unless someone was able to acquire the Star Wars franchise again, but that just aint gonna happen.

It really is sad. I knew it was going to end badly when he took forever to give back the preorder money. I really hadn't guess that it would go this badly. He should have sold the company off (or atleast parts of it to payback atleast part of the debt he sank into the company) when he had the chance years ago.
I love WEG, but it is well past time for the company to move beyond Gibson. Sorry man.

That guy's clearly been on the douchenozzle train for a long, long time. I really don't understand why anyone would continue to think he'd do... anything. Anytime someone who is allegedly a businessman is informing you about their "stress reactions" - hint, they're an incurable flake.
- March 15, 2010 at 8:46 PM
- Dr-Rotwang said...
To me, West End Games was a company that existed up until 1998 and was the publisher of three of my favorite RPGs, including my absolute favorite.
The D6 rulebooks that were published under Eric Gibson's stewardship are good stuff which added a few final touches to a terrific system.
That's it.
- March 15, 2010 at 10:18 PM
- Jonathan Hicks said...
I gave up on WEG and the OpenD6 project a long time ago. Eric simply needs to let WEG go and realise that people just won't give him the benefit of the doubt anymore. WEG used to be a big name but now it's just going to be seen as the company that messed up Septimus and all people will remember is the Great Eric Gibson Flameout on rpg.net. Now this? The damage is done. WEG's name has been stained by all this and if it is to survive with the D6 system as it's flagship game it'll need to change it's brand, it's public relations approach and it's ownership.

I want to make some sort of spicy vegetable soup. I have vegetable broth from Trader Joes and also some barley, and some vegetables but don't know what to do next.

simple pastrami sangwhich, but i've started steaming the cheese....
I can really recommend Humus (u know; chick peas, sesam paste, olive oil, lemon....) + lebanese bread - that should fill u up for the Coachella day (&nite)
...and/or for breakfast wholemeal sandwiches richly spread with cashew butter...whatyathink?
1st time in the US!!! ...starting with Coachella!!!
Tomorrow I'm experimenting again with gumbo. This time there was a store that had okra in town, so I'll be using some in the recipe, and I got fresh creole sausage from the meat market. I'm shooting for a darker roux this time, as last time it was quite good but pretty light.
Hummus is great for Coachella. High in fiber = regular deuces, which no one can complain about when sweating in a hot portapotty. Easy to make, travels well too. Hell, I should whip up a batch, thanks for the tip.
northside groove...southside groove....eastside groove...westside groove
With the goal of making a dark roux for gumbo, I cooked my bacon grease/peanut oil mixture for two hours. I only achieved a dark peanut butter color, but the burns on my wrists were sign enough that it was cook time. I hope to turn in a gumbo better than the last one I made, and right now the house smells incredible, even if my right wrist is burned to kingdom come. Damn cajun napalm.
Tall handles in the air, let me see 'em
Will it leave a scar? cuz that'd be cool if there was a cooking scar that wasn't too big (gross) but big enough (badass).
cuz you know there's nothing more badass than flipping mahi burgers
also I hope you thawed those bad boys before you put them in the hot oil, otherwise your burn scar should just spell 'dumbass'.
No scar, didn't even leave a burn mark. Was just a tiny drop that was really hot for a second then went away. And no I didn't thaw them out, the directions on the box said put 1 tablespoon of oil and put the mahi burgers in the oil while frozen. Maybe that makes me a dumb ass for following directions though because I rarely do that when I cook.
That's quite purdy there, bmack. Any beer accompaniment?

I made chili again. Great for making a large batch, great for freezing/reheating. This time around I basically combined the Turkey with White Bean Colorado-style chili recipe I've made before with The Best Chili Ever from Serious Eats. That recipe is gigantic and a bit of a mess... which is why I just stole a few ideas. I am guessing the most significant changes were using beef for stew (instead of ground turkey), the puree of the toasted and rehydrated chiles and adding Bourbon, apple cider vinegar and soy sauce. The beef was about perfect and this was the richest chili I have ever made, including other beef chilies.
I took a knife sharpening class today. Screw paying someone else to do it, and forget electric or other sharpening "systems". 3 waterstones, a strop, and my knives were taking hair off my arm. Highly recommended.

I made crepes for the first time last night. Basically an excuse for me to make Pancakes for dinner. It's basically the same ingredients as pancakes just different ratios of them. The only difference is the Pancake recipe I use calls for two tsp of Vegetable oil and the crepe recipe used two tbsp of melted butter. I think I'm going to start using the melted butter in regular pancakes because holy shit does it make a difference. I just rolled some turkey in them and made one fruit desert style crepe. Overall pretty good but since it was a spur of the moment idea I really didn't have the ingredients to pull off a more interesting stuffing then just turkey. Next time.
I made Thomas Keller's recipe for Braised Beef Short Ribs last night. Accompanied by Thomas Keller's recipe for Polenta and Zarela Martinez' recipe for sauteed spinach. It was all wonderful.
(note a couple of the pics in that blog show that the cook took a shortcut and didnt' follow the directions to the letter. Deal with it).
I could not find boneless short ribs (I don't think i've ever seen that anywhere) ("boneless ribs" seems like such an oxymoron to me) so I got bone-in ribs and removed the bone.
Bone in is the English cut. Bone out is also used in Chinese a lot. cr****

OpenQuest & RuneQuest Thoughts
I'll be honest: as an American growing up when and where I did, RQ wasn't exactly on the list of most-played games. Rifts, D&D, Palladium Fantasy, and Traveller dominated, and I'm not sorry for it. But it is nice to explore, even from an angle, a game with so much history built up behind it. I feel like a tourist in a lot of the discussions I read, but maybe this is the time RQ, courtesy of OpenQuest, finally clicks into place. As soon as I get the funds, I need to snag a print copy or the latest download at RPGNow. I understand there's been a couple of changes in the Final Edition of OQ.

I have the same history, more or less. However, I did get my hands on the RQ3 Deluxe box set (in fabulous condition) and am also sorry I missed out on this fine system for so long. If you haven't, pick yourself up a copy of the Basic Roleplaying Gold book. It includes almost all the optional and additional rules. I'd like to get ahold of this OpenQuest.

You can download the OpenQuest Developer's Kit at the following link:
It is a great system that strips out the extras so that you can get to roleplaying without the system getting in the way...

I have RuneQuest the original Second edition as wll as Mongoose RuneQuest. I'm highly intrigued but I think my lack of exposure to the system presents a high barrier to entry for me. I've ordered a hard copy of OpenQuest and excited to pour over it. I'd like to really dig into the rules and see how it operates.

Good luck with your journey into D100 gaming with OpenQuest. The game seems to be entering a phase of awareeness beyond the D100/BRP grognards pickingup, where new players who have never played RQ/BRP before are picking up on it.
Feel free to pester me over at the D101 forums about it (d101games.co.uk/forum) and check out some of the supplements that support the game.

@Jeffrey: I have toyed around with BRP here and now. I have a couple projects I got distracted on with it.
@Johnathan: Let us know how it goes!
@Newt: Thanks, Newt! I will likely be doing just that as questions arise. :)
Thanks for the comments!

Long-time RQ guy here. I second the recommendation for Basic Roleplaying. It's an excellent extrapolation of the original RQ rules for use in any setting. It's lightweight, so if you're the kind of gamer who likes rules that don't get in your way, it could be a good fit.
Mongoose RQ2 is certainly more complex, but it's my favorite incarnation of RuneQuest. The combat rules in particular provide a lot of flavor without getting too bogged down.
- January 12, 2011 at 2:15 PM
- Jay Murphy said...
OpenQuest is an excellent fantasy role playing system. So far it beats every other fantasy role playing system I've tinkered with. You should create a few characters with the rules. After tinkering with character concept and grasping how you can thematically integrate the magical systems with any type of character concept I think you will be off and running and not be looking back!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

The hamantashen fillings I made this year are: peach lekvar, cranberry-orange and pecan-fig. The hamantashen dough recipe and other filling recipes is here. The peach lekvar is the same recipe as the apricot lekvar, but I used dried peaches instead. The filling is deliciously peachy and the mixture of the dried figs and pecans is also a very nice filling for the hamantashen.

Adding to the list of savings -- how about all PERS recipients receive a retirement based on their actual average pay? As is, retirement pay is subject to many incentives and advantages. Margaret Carter served in the legislature for 25 (?) years. She (at 72 yrs.) was appointed to a high paying position in DHS (approx. $120,000/ yr.), and that number is the base salary (after 3 years) for her retirement (her pay in the legislature was $25,000 - $30.000/yr.). I'm confident there were other candidates much more qualified, as well as much younger. It appears she was 'gifted' this position only for being a loyal party member. This 'gifting of positions' is standard practice within Oregon's government, costing taxpayers millions in extra benefits at retirement.
However, there is little chance of any meaningful reform to PERS. The Demos in the legislature are bought and paid for by the public unions. Voting for any PERS reform is most likely to cost some their position next election cycle, and the legislators know it. And very few will be willing to take that chance.
Some voters complain about corporations and private enterprise using campaign contributions to have their way with lawmakers -- but in Oregon, public unions far outspend the private sectors each election cycle. So far, it's money well spent!
In what other situation would an employee have the right to shield his retirement from those who have made the payments into the fund? None come to mind!
And if these retirement packages are not completely out of line, why all the desire to keep them secret? Embarrassment, shame, getting away with something not deserved? The actions of the public employees on this issue are not those of people who are thankful to have a secure, well-paying job. In fact, the attempt to hide the pensions raise suspicions that something is badly amiss.
In this case, maybe the public employees should remember who is actually paying the bills. I hope they realize the charade will not last forever -- and when things come to light, the 'boss' might be quite angry!
I think you will find Unions (related to employees through the State) have a bigger influence on State government and Big Corporations on Federal Gov't. Neither in my opinion is right.
In my opinion, those who are supposed to represent the people should never be allowed to take campaign money from anyone, period. Today most elections are won from the pocket book -- spend more than the rivals -- win the election. And the real winners are those who stuff the most pockets. How can the public expect to be represented when the politician is 'owned' by entities who expect favorable legislation for the monetary support?
And while on the subject, let's lose the political parties altogether. Their most visible achievement is keeping the partisan divide alive and festering. In all the decades of such bickering, what good has come?
Instead of how much money spent, or what consonant follows the name, let's elect representatives on merit and good intentions. Take away those options (campaign contributions and partisan politics), and just possibly the people might have some true representation.
If I decide to run for office, I will not run with a party. My campaign will be charity work within communities with donations and 50% going to non profits of ther choice another 10% towards the cause within the community and 40% to my campaign. I wouldn't even be that interested in my vote, because I would take a pay cut, hire more staff to get the district's opinion and have a web-site to poll laws and bills so they can vote. I would vote only the way my district wants. Not anyone else.. Like this was suppose to be, not what it became. AND hopefully by leading, others would take note and bring about serious change (unlike today) that would finally give people to voice they deserve (equally).

Your idea would resound with most, but wedging the way in might be the most difficult. But wow, would the political parties get their pretty panties in a bunch if they were to become irrelevant? What would all those people who never had a real job do? Move to Portland?
Speaking of pay cut, our new commissioner Allen Springer declined the pay raise that was due all three commissioners. He told me it just didn't seem right, with others struggling to make just make it.

This pot rack is definitely worth every penny. It is sturdier than I expected it to be since it was so cheap. I have a relatively heavy set of pots and the rack holds them just fine, as do the hooks that were included. We have vaulted ceilings, so I was worried that it would be difficult getting the 4 separate chains to hang evenly. We were able to bring all 4 of them together on the one hook in the ceiling. It's hanging evenly and it looks great. I looked at several different stores and they were double the price on Overstock and many didn't look nearly as nice.
I ordered this pot rack because the price was good. I could have ordered others that were more costly and now I'm sorry I didn't. I've had other pot racks in the past...very heavy duty. This rack is very flimsy. The hooks are weak, as are the chains to hang it. I actually broke one of the hooks trying to install it and went out and got heavy duty hooks and stronger chains. I have very heavy pots...enamal covered cast iron. Unless you have light weight pots, don't even consider this rack. I would be afraid it would pull out of the ceiling with any weight on it at all, assuming the hooks actually held.
I got this pot rack to go above our kitchen island. Be sure to check your measurements. This isn't the biggest pot rack, but it has ample storage hooks. The pot shelf is small, maybe room enough for one or two large pots. Overall, it is a nice looking, sturdy rack.
I bought this pot rack several months ago. I love it, it is perfect for me - I have several pots and pans I use all the time and those are what I put on this rack. I also put the other essentials I use all the time (grater, wood pizza shovel, tongs, wire spiders, etc). I don't need the heavy duty rack or chains - the ones that came with the pot rack are fine and also easy to install.
I have always wanted a pot hanger for my kitchen but hadn't found one I liked in a long time. When I saw this one I fell in love with the picture right away & had to try it. It arrived in excellent condition & was the perfect shade of black. However, when I went to hang it, the hooks that were provided with it were made of very cheap material; one actually broke in my hand, before anything was ever put on the rack. So, I went to the local hardware store & picked up some stronger hooks for hanging it. The rest of the unit is absolutely perfect for me. Yes, I would recommend this product to friends & family, with the stipulation that they buy stronger hooks first. Otherwise, I love it & get compliments on it all the time.
It is so functional & easy to hang. I think it is beautiful. Even when we move I plan to take with me just for decorative purposes. It is truly worth every penny! High Dollar pot & pan rack for a great price. I was so happy & even more impressed once hung! Love it!
The product was a good product. I was not buying it for the use of a pot rack, I needed something to dry herbs. It was too heavy for that purpose. My bad.
Single spot welds holding together 4 pieces of scrap metal. I'm fairly confident this would not hold my pots/pans. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Awesome for the money. Easy to mount. Just be sure to mount the hooks in the ceiling studs. The only issue is the weld that joins the two halves of the frame together. The weld is very noticeable and questionable in long term durability. It's easily concealable by placing a pot hook over it. Overall, highly recommended!
I bought this as a gift for my husband, the cook of the family, several years ago and we loved it. The size, the quality were just what we were looking for. Two years ago, we moved and have since moved back to our original house, and it got lost in transit. I was SO tickled to see that Overstock still carried the product and ordered another. We are so happy to have this beautiful rack hanging back up in our kitchen again!

Sudan to Appoint Vice President from Darfur
June 30, 2011 by TMO
KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudan will appoint a vice president from the war-battered western Darfur region, state media said Tuesday, in a possible move toward meeting the demands of rebels there who complain of being marginalized.
Violence in Darfur, where mostly non-Arab rebels are fighting government troops backed by largely Arab militias, has fallen from its peak in 2003 and 2004 but a surge in attacks since December has forced tens of thousands to flee.
Qatar has been hosting Darfur peace talks but progress has been hampered by rebel divisions and continued military operations, as Khartoum has gradually reasserted control over towns and other previously rebel-held areas.
"The government has agreed on appointment of a Vice-President from Darfur to complete the current election session," the state news agency SUNA said.
An official with one of the main rebel groups, the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) led by Paris-based Abdel Wahed Mohamed al-Nur, said the appointment did not go far enough.
"The war is not about the vice president of Sudan," Ibrahim al-Helwu, said. "The war is about equality for all Sudanese."
Darfur is just one of several flashpoints as Sudan's south prepares to secede on July 9 — a move analysts say could embolden rebels elsewhere.
