|In prior projects I have fallen hard for the pretty stuff. I have used lots of Herbeau, Samuel Heath and THG.
Now a few years later, I would conclude
1. According to my plumbers, this stuff is not made particularly well, and you are paying for style only
With that all in mind, for our new second home, I am going to be redoing 2 1/2 BA, adding a BA, and redoing the kitchen. Which faucet line(s) would you suggest I look at if I want good value? Does anyone carry unpolished brass at a good price point?
Thanks in advance.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Cifial is well-made and decently priced, too. Not sure how extensive their line is (styles), but we are very happy with the three faucets we have.

|I've been investigating Symmons. On the Starcraft homes site (very helpful for LOTS of stuff) there's a lengthy review of lots of faucets and Symmons is one they recommend, noting that most consumers don't know it, because Symmons has spent decades serving the hotel and commercial trade and is a late comer to the residential design side.
They are all metal, have nice heft, a good finish and reasonable style. And they are VERY well priced for their quality. The problem is that it's quite tough to actually SEE one. I can't find one in any showroom nearby. So, I'm going on specs and pics on the Symmons site and what the person in the independent showroom near me said about them...which was, i liked them and I don 't know why we don't display them, except that we are rarely asked about them. I'm thinking I'm going to risk the restocking fee and order.

|Thanks everyone. Id heard of Grohe, but not the other two. Something to investigate!
|You can check hansgrohe too . It was the same company as grohe and then they split . Their axor line is nice and they are all metal and hefty .

|We have hard water and unlacquered brass all over the house. With our kitchen faucet being unlacquered it looks horrie. I'm actually going to clean it and send it to be lacquered because our water softener still causes it to look awful in just a days use after cleaning and then protecting with Rwnaussance wax.
I love our Rohl faucets and think they are a good value. We also have some Grohe, but some of their parts are plastic, which I don't love.
|The link below is the Star builders site that has the faucet info, mentioned above. Check it out, lots of good information. There is a part one article that goes with this article. You can find it at the tab at the top of the article.
I have Hansgrohe for my bathroom in the Axor line. It is their high end line. I love my Hansgrohe stuff in my first bathroom remodel, so I have it all set up for my current bath remodel.
My plumber swears by Wolverine Brass which is well regarded but only offered through your plumber, and it is ugly :)
Mongoct has referenced Symmons, referenced above, in many post.

|Lillo, ThreeApples, Enduring,
Thanks so much for your ideas!
|Threeapples: I just swish some BarKeepers Friend across my unlacquered brass faucet--almost every day as I clean my sink. Keeps it quite nice enough with almost no effort. Spray it to rinse and use your towel to dry it .
- Posted by OldTimeCarpenter1 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 11:00
|Please note that vedazu is taling about cleaning UNLAQUERED brass with Bar Keepers Friend. Son't try this on laquered brass. BTW, Bark Keepers Friend is the cleaning secret of the 21st century. If its metal (and not laquered), it needs Bar Keepers.
Check out PVD "brass". It's actually not brass at all, but usually an oxide form of zirconium (you know, the diamond substitute), and very tough (20x harder than chrome), cannot tarnish, and sheds most hard water spots with a wipe from a soft towel. Almost any manufacturer that offers a PVD finish has PVD brass. Most come with a lifetime warranty.

|Did you ever decide on a brand? I am going through the same hoops right now. My plumber says to stay away from the pricey brands and stick with Moen - from a reputable plumbing supply store, not from a big box. He says the Moen in the box stores are mostly plastic and they do not hold up. I keep looking at Hansgrohe but the reviews about their faucets are terrible.

|In a heartbeat, DELTA. Their customer service is amazing. We had a new water heater put in and the wacked out pressure blew through the kitchen faucet. It was about 5 years old I think. we called Delta, and since they no longer make that faucet they could not provide the piece which broke. They sent me a new faucet ( I selected) and I had it within 3 days. They might not have the panache that some other high end ones do, but man on man I am impressed. and MADE IN USA.

|Came across this site that is extremely informative that lists every faucet maker and their warranty score. Plus an excellent rating guide for each company.
MOEN, Brizo, Delta, Kohler, to name a few have lifetime warranty.
|Never been disappointed with Rohl. Grohe is ok, but as a poster metioned earlier, some of their stuff is plastic. The metal ones are very nice. I prefer polished chrome (durable, cheapest, easy to clean and never goes out of style) and both Rohl and Grohe do very nice chrome.

The best value on a faucet today is probably Delta.
To clarify, I don't have any association with Delta or its parent Masco. I buy faucets in connection with remodeling kitchens and baths as a profession, and investigate faucets in connection with the review site I edit. That's my ONLY connection with any faucet company.
Delta styling used to be, and still is to some extent, dull. But, that's changing. Delta borrowed designers from Briso and Hansgrohe (also owned by Masco), and the new line of Delta/Brizo faucets is something to see. If you have not looked at Delta in a while, take a peek.
The new Delta Diamond Seal® ceramic cartridge is a good league ahead of everyone else's cartridge. A cartridge is typically tested through 500,000 on/off cycles without a failure to be certified for use in the U.S. or Canada (ASME A112.18.1, in Europe the testing is just 40,000 cycles). Delta had the cartridge tested by a independent testing lab through 5 million cycles -- or about 700 years of ordinary use of a kitchen faucet, without a failure.
I like other faucet lines. I think California Faucets, Waterstone, Sigma, Phylrich, Elkay, Symmons, Chicago Faucet, Watermark, Kohler, KWC, Graff, Hansgrohe (which has never been part of Grohe, sorry) and especially Moen all make good faucets, and Delta makes some real clinkers. But, on average I will take a Delta faucet over all others as the faucet that delivers the most enduring value for the most years at the least cost. It also has one of the best customer and warranty service departments, second only to Moen, Unless you beat the damn thing with a hammer, Delta is going to send you the parts to fix any broken Delta faucet for FREE for the rest of your life. Try to get that deal from Cadillac.
Notice that I left out American Standard and Eljer, now the same company (American Standard Brands) owned by a Japanese holding company, LIXIL. Made in Mexico from Chinese components, the quality has plummeted.
Price-Pfister, same thing. Thirty years ago Pfisters were a good all brass pfaucet made in California from American parts and one of the pfinest pfaucets made. Now they are mostly zinc and plastic,made in Mexico from Chinese parts, and a piece of junk.
Franke is out , it;s also made primarily in China now, but still sells for a "Made in Switzerland" price -- far more than I want to pay for a Chinese faucet.
Grohe was acquired by LIXIL in 2013 and is now, like American Standard, Japanese. Its quality has dropped a bunch.
Mico Designs is also made in China now except for a bare dozen of the old designs from 2002 still made in Italy. Its quality is down, and its customer and warranty service almost non-existent.
My second choice: Moen. Sorry to be such a dull bunny, but after investigating faucets for 10 years, I think America still makes the best faucets for the best prices.
| OldTimeCarpenter1,
Thank you for this info on Delta!
Do you know whether Delta Diamond Seal® ceramic cartridge is used in the bath faucets and shower parts? If so, in what lines?
I only found information that this technology was used in their kitchen faucets.

|Old time carpenter, what do you think of the Rohl Classic? My problem is that I want a pull down faucet and the end has to be easily removable for cleaning. Right now I have an old KWC and the end pops right off and the strainer and the other parts (the outer ring of plastic with the holes) can be cleaned. All the new faucets I have looked at only have removable strainers and I learned that they are not designed to be removed often. I want one where the whole end comes off because we have a lot of gunk in our water. I have to clean ours at least once a month. I was told that only Blanco, Rohl and KWC have these removable ends. Do you have any other suggestions?
Sorry, I just realized I posted this query on two different threads dealing with faucet choices. I am finding it difficult to keep up with the many many posts here. Just showing my age. :-)

|To find out which Delta faucets have DST cartridges, do this:
Go to Delta Faucets.
Type "DST" (without the quotes) in the search box at the top right of the home page.
This will display a list of all DST faucets.
Delta is transitioning to DST in all faucets, some now have it, some not yet.
Last time I talked to Delta, there were no plans to use DST in shower faucets, but this could change at any time.

|I've had good luck with Moen. I buy my faucets from Home Depot. I go to the store and pick from whatever they have in stock. I've never had a faucet last over 10 years. Either the faucet starts leaking and I can't find a replacement part or the countertop needs replacing and a new countertop gets a new faucet. I have 3 kids and a wife who spends an inordinate amount of time using the bathroom faucet. I'm probably atypical.
I'm currently shopping for 3 bathroom faucets.

|Rohl's Classic is made by Green's Industries of New Zealand. It's an OK faucet.

|Our Moen kitchen faucet lasted 5 years as did our friends. We got a Delta faucet and have had no problems....Delta is what our store recommended.
|I see no one mentioned Dornbrecht. They are high end of the higher end of faucets. Made in Germany. Cost is very high, but you get what you pay for. beautiful faucets.
|What happened to your friends? ;)
|i learned from this site, not the 2 different plumbers that charged me for parts and repair of my shower assembly, that delta replaces parts for life. i have 2 exact shower units from when i built the house 15 years ago. we have no manuals or info from the builder so i don't have part numbers either. i called delta tonight since the tub diverter (replaced by plumber) is not draining all the way again. i could not believe how nice the delta cs was! they are sending a new tub spout and new handle as the finish is cloudy for free and the rep gave me a brief tutorial on how to replace the handle. pretty amazing!
we need a new kitchen faucet for our reno and i am set to buy a delta!

|I recently replaced a kitchen faucet. I tried to save a little money on the faucet when we did a remodel 15 years ago and I limped along with whatever brand it was all these years. It was an awful faucet. Decided to spend the money on a good faucet and researched. Loved the descriptions of the ceramic disc valves that you can get in faucets now and their longevity and bought a Kohler that had one. LOVE it! It's like night and day.
And one point, if you are not a DIY plumber who fixes his own faucets, even if Delta sends you the parts, you still have to hire a plumber for a repair. And one plumber visit can be as expensive as a $300. faucet.
I don't have personal experience with other brands of faucet, but plumbers I've asked, have all suggested Kohler in their top three brands. And in a faucet, I would look into the ceramic disc valve technology and see if that doesn't sound like what you want.

|My personal experience, for what it's worth - I've got a home-depot-sourced Moen pressure balancing valve in my second bath shower which I use every day. The trim and handle are chromed plastic and after 20+ years, definitely don't have the bling look anymore. However, the valve function is rock solid. I replaced the cartridge once when it developed a leak and it continues to live on.
On the other hand, I replaced my kitchen sink faucet with a home-depot-sourced single handle Moen. The handle was chromed metal while all the other parts were chromed plastic. It never felt solid and after about 10 years, the handle became loose and wobbly from wear and, again, the chrome finish wasn't great. The valve function was rock solid and never leaked.
I replaced it with a home-depot-sourced Kohler, about 6 years ago. My choices were limited at home depot - at the same time, I installed a water filter with a separate faucet and wanted to maintain a separate hand spray in my 4-hole sink. I wanted to get the job done quick and did not search and ponder long; just got what filled the bill at Home Depot and there wasn't much to choose from. Just now, I checked the Kohler site and it seems I ended up with the Forte 3-hole remote valve model. I just remember that I was pissed because I had to spend over 200 bucks.
Anyway, am totally happy with it; it was money well spent. It's all metal, the chrome finish looks brand new, it still feels rock solid and no leaks. Don't know if it has ceramic disks or not, although the current model Forte does.
In my current bathroom remodel, I'm going with Kohler faucets and shower valve. I don't recall the brand that is being replaced, but believe it was a "boutique" brand that was pretty expensive at the time. The sink faucet has developed a stem leak on the hot water faucet (separate hot & cold) twice over 20 some years and I simply replaced the cartridge. The chrome finish on the sink spout has dulled over the years, so I'm not very impressed with them. I'll have to see if I can dig up the receipts and discover the brand.
Prior to that, the bath had late 1950's American Standard faucets. Of course, they were all metal, excellent chrome finish even after decades. Valve and stem leaks were more frequent, and that was the usual changing washers and stem packing, which is a pain in the butt - old technology.
I'm in the Chicago area with city (Lake Michigan) water, so the water is not hard.

|Love my Delta kitchen faucet that was installed 12 years ago. Still as pretty as the day it was installed and with ZERO problems. We had to have a special part due to the thickness of our counter-top. Delta sent it out 2nd day and free of charge :) Hoping I can find a style I like for DH's bathroom. Unfortunately I did not find exactly what I wanted when we did the master bath in 07. Jado ended up having what I wanted and I have had zero issues with it as well but it cost me an arm and a leg!

Good food, good prices. The food came out pretty fast which was great because we were kind of in a hurry. I'm not a very adventurous eater, but there were a lot of things on the menu that I think I would like. I did the create-your-own pho with beef brisket. It came out piping hot and the medium is absolutely huge so don't get a large unless you want to take a bath in it.Kristen F. - Atlanta, GA

Margolin Will Not Seek Third Term in 2013
After representing the greater Preston Hollow area since 2009, Councilwoman Ann Margolin has decided to not run for a third term on the Dallas City Council in 2013.
Margolin told the Dallas Morning News she was declining to run for District 13 "due to increasingly time consuming personal obligations."
From what I'm gaining from reports, Margolin would have been a shoo-in for reelection as no real opponent materialized against her. I just know the interesting part will be finding out who comes out of the woodworks to run for the district.

Acquiring a high risk merchant account can be very difficult. However, we at Painless Processing are experts in the field of high-risk merchant accounts and know exactly how to get your merchant account approved in 48 hours (usually). High risk credit card transactions have become a very common part of life. Because the credit card holder isn't able to physically sign a receipt for an ecommerce sale, many banks will actually hesitate or refuse to approve your high-risk merchant account request. There are many businesses that fall under the label of "high risk" designation for merchant accounts including: international sales, adult services, online store: pharmaceuticals and adult industry, moto-merchants (credit card sales done over the telephone), recurring billing, and sudden high volume sales businesses. Painless Processing will ensure that your high risk merchant account gets approved within 48 hours, leaving you to focus on dominating your competition.
Banks are the ones holding all the chips. As a result, they have the ability to label your industry as high risk when deciding whether or not to offer you a merchant account. Merchant Accounts can be designated as being high risk for many different reasons. Many times, they are as varied as the businesses themselves. Everything from where your business is located to the terms of your delivery can earn you "high risk" marks from banks. Credit card processing and merchant services in basically any form other than the most traditional mom and pop store sale will likely draw skepticism from banks.
Many booming industries around the United States and across the globe are earning the brand high risk merchant account. Virtually any free-trial transactional system, medical marijuana dispensaries, online gambling, and many adult industries fall under this very broad umbrella. In fact, almost any ecommerce business will fall under the scope of high risk merchant account as well if you have no previous credit history or have derogatory credit information. Regardless of why you fall into this category, Painless Processing can accommodate your needs and guarantee your merchant account request's approval.
As mentioned earlier, if you are involved in any type of business that doesn't involve face-to-face transactions, you're probably going to be considered high risk to the banks considering your merchant account request. Whatever the reason, if your merchant account is high risk, Painless Processing can help. We have connections with various banks around the world. Each one can help us serve your needs in a different way, depending on your specific circumstances and industry. If you have a need for a high risk merchant account, don't hesitate. Contact us at Painless Processing today. We'll have a quote ready for you in a matter of hours with rates that will match or beat any company in the industry. Take the first step. Contact us today!

Doc on Semih Erden: "He needs to be on the floor"
Semih Erden is a rookie. He doesn't speak much English. He looks a lot more like Shaggy from Scooby Doo than the average NBA player. And he plays for Doc Rivers, noted rookie despiser. Still, Erden's play is commanding minutes. From the sound of it, Erden should see some playing time even after Shaq returns from his miserable bruised knee. (ESPN Boston)
"Don't let Semih fool you; He speaks English very well, and understands it very well," said [Kevin] Garnett. "I don't know if he's got all the plays under his belt, but he's playing hard. Really, really hard."
Added [Doc] Rivers: "I think traveling is actually helping him [learn the language], being on the plane with the guys. He's getting it, it's just going to take time. We're going to play him, regardless. He's going to make mistakes and you just gotta try to let him play through mistakes. He needs to be on the floor."
"We're going to play him, regardless"? "You just gotta try to let him play through the mistakes"? "He needs to be on the floor"?
Imposter, who are you and what have you done with Doc Rivers?
But Erden isn't the average rookie. He has been playing professionally since Rajon Rondo was still a freshman in college. Really, he has. He played for the Turkish National Team that won silver in this summer's World Championships. He's a rookie in NBA terms, but he's not as green as the average first-year NBA player. He knows how to play the game.
Watching the way Erden understands angles, it's clear that he has received good coaching over his career. He screens, then rolls hard to the hoop. He closes down opponents' drives by stepping to the right spot with his hands outstretched above his head. But he still has rookie moments.
One play last night showed both Erden's knowledge of the game and the rookie mistakes Doc fears. Erden started the play by setting a ball screen for Nate Robinson at the top of the key. Erden's defender, Nenad Krstic, decided to double Robinson hard on the right wing, outside the three-point arc. If Erden had simply rolled and then flashed to the ball, he would have found himself wide open in the middle of the lane. Instead he continued to run the offensive set, setting a down screen for Ray Allen on the other side of the court. One opportunity lost for Erden. But the play wasn't over.
Robinson passed to Allen, who had curled loosely off Erden's screen. Erden opened nicely to the ball and found himself in lunge position — where a big man does not need a dribble to score, but simply a lunge to the basket (unless he's Kendrick Perkins, in which case he undoubtedly dribbles). Allen dropped off a pass to Erden in the lunge position, with Krstic still trailing, but Serge Ibaka rotated over to keep Erden from the easy bucket. Rather than force a contested shot, Erden shoveled a beautiful pass to Glen Davis for an easy layup of his own. Alas, Davis missed the shot, but Erden's off-ball movement, court vision and solid decision-making had created an easy look. Even after he initially made the wrong choice when Krstic double-teamed Robinson.
So yes, Erden will make mistakes. All players do, and especially rookies who don't understand much English and still have difficulty grasping the offensive playbook. But he also has good basketball instincts, which should help make up for his inevitable blunders.

Autistic Luke to be united with specially-trained pooch Tilly in Uttoxeter
Posted: February 26, 2014|
A DELIGHTED Uttoxeter mother has thanked everyone who got behind her family to help raise the cash needed to unite her autistic son with a specially trained dog.
Andrea Bennett and the family of four-year-old Luke Bennett, of Demontfort Way, has raised the 4,858 euros needed to bring pooch Tilly over from Ireland with the support of friends, family and the residents of Uttoxeter as well as Thomas Alleyne's High School.
The family has been fund-raising for Tilly since the middle of last month, with cake sales among events organised, and has seen donations come in fast.
The 38-year-old mother has also thanked the Advertiser for bringing their efforts to the attention of residents.
She said: "We had a couple of donations from people who wished to remain anonymous which pushed the amount up to the target.
"We want to thank everyone from Uttoxeter and definitely all the pupils and staff at Thomas Alleyne's.
"We also thank the Uttoxeter Advertiser, friends and family and everyone who doesn't know us, but donated to Luke and Tilly.
"Thank you so very much, everyone."
Mrs Bennett, along with her husband Paul, is now being trained to work with Tilly to allow her to help Luke as his constant companion.
The mother added: "Paul and I are being trained to handle and how to keep up training when we bring Tilly home.
"We are so thankful and excited for Tilly and Luke to start their journey together.
"This would not have been possible without the generosity and support of all the people who have donated.
"We thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts."
Little Luke, who has a twin brother Kirk, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) last February after the family noticed some unusual behaviour.
It is hoped Tilly will give Luke and his family more freedom by keeping the youngster calm in situations he can find stressful.
At night Mrs Bennett said her son often does not sleep well and can be found up and about so it is hoped Tilly will be trained to stop him getting out of room while the rest of his family is asleep.
Luke can also become very distressed in public places when he becomes overstimulated, especially in shopping centres, which causes him to throw a tantrum.
Tilly will be able to distract him by simply putting her head on his lap which aims to calm him down.
Luke is known to be a 'bolter' and can often wiggle his way free from his parents hands when they are out and about.
As he has no awareness of danger or strangers, Luke has been known to run out into busy roads so when the family is out he will be harnessed to Tilly.
If he tries to run off the faithful pooch will then act as an anchor so he will not be able to leave the side of his family.
Mrs Bennett said: "We have found these dogs have had a lot of success with children with autism as animals can have a calming effect on them.
"We have heard so many good reviews and we really hope Tilly will help to bring him on in the future.
"She will at least help protect him and give us a bit more piece of mind."

12/02/10 Ever wonder what it would have been like to live in Plymouth in the "Roaring 20's"? Participate in the "Main Street Hide & Seek" promotion with the downtown merchants from December 6th to December 17th and find out!  Clues to the downtown's 1920's history will lead participants to discover the hidden past of current downtown buildings. For example, where in the 1920's could you have purchased steak for 30 cents a pound? Hint – today you could find fresh flowers for your table there! Visit the modern day location to discover the 1920's answer. The first fifteen who find all the answers to the "Main Street Hide & Seek" clues can turn in their forms at the Plymouth Public Library and receive a free paperback copy of The Great Gatsby.
The idea is to promote interest in reading the novel featured for this year's One Book, One Town celebration sponsored each year by the Friends of the Library. The national movement began with the Library of Congress Center for the Book and encourages communities to join together in awareness of the importance of reading, literacy, and libraries. Each year in Plymouth, the Friends of the Library select the title to promote and organize a discussion centered around that book. This year the group is expanding the program to include several events that they hope will focus the community on reading and talking about ideas inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
The give-away of free copies of the novel using historical clues from 1920's Plymouth is just the first of many opportunities to celebrate the importance of literacy and the joy of reading. Look for future announcements about free films and a ragtime concert at the library, or about a chance to learn the Charleston and attend Afternoon Tea at the newly remodeled museum. Encore will be getting into the act with a special performance for the community featuring the one-woman show, Zelda! by Debra Conner. And area high schoolers will have a chance to write about their reading to win scholarships.
This year the Friend's of the Library's One Book, One Town planning committee is joining forces with Encore, the Marshall County Historical Society Museum, and the downtown merchants to help make reading a main feature on Main Street. What better way to promote The Great Gatsby than to remind everyone to 23-Skidoo to the Plymouth Public Library to pick up a form and participate in "Main Street Hide & Seek" this shopping season. Reading is the cat's pajamas!

Marshal has arrest record
Got Waterbury court job despite DUI charge
WATERBURY — The recently hired head of the judicial marshals in Waterbury Superior Court was charged with driving under the influence by a state trooper two months before he was selected for the job as chief marshal, multiple records show.
Nicholas D. Pesce, of Thomaston, was hired as chief marshal for the city's courthouses in December after he applied for the position in August. Although he was arrested months before he applied, judicial branch policy prevents interviewers from considering arrests that aren't followed by a conviction, such as when a person uses a court diversionary program.

Retire in 20 years or less with heart and hypertension, then move to Florida or take another state job and double dip your pension. Only in Connecticut. "

Patchy hair loss in dogs
Problems from high blood pressure arise when a blood vessel gets too small for the high pressure flow going through it. Blood pressure monitoring in dogs and cats will become more common as time goes on. At present there are some problems with equipment and there does not seem to be a clear consensus on blood pressure normal values.
Blood pressure measurement is performed similarly to the way it is in humans. An inflatable cuff is fit snuggly around the foot or foreleg of the pet. Sometimes the base of the tail can be used. The cuff is inflated so as to occlude blood flow through the superficial artery.
Blood pressure is checked on any pet that is suspected of having high or low pressure. This includes pets with heart disease, kidney disease, sudden onset of blindness, recent trauma, or other severe illness. Other causes of abnormal blood pressure include diseases of the endocrine system, tumors of the adrenal gland, medications and central nervous system disorders.

Hi Phil,
I suggest you buy "the only wine book one really needs", i.e. Hugh Johnsons
Wine Companion. Small enough to fit into your pocket while you go "label
surfing" in you wine shop. It is most probably the most compact, yet quite
complete book ever published about the world of wine. As there is a new
edition every year, you should try to get the 2011 edition which should be
in the shelves by now. Browse through the book, and find out from Johnson's
descriptions if this is the kind of wine you would like to try.
Can't really help you with the wine outlets in the UK, but remember that
taxes on wines(especially on the cheaper end of the market) tend to be
higher in Britain than in France or the Benelux countries, so if you get the
bug, it might be worthwile to take you car to mainland Europe and fill your

Twitter? Facebook? Google+? For Business, Instagram Is King, Says Study [INFOGRAPHIC]
Social media has proven itself as a revolutionary tool for marketing businesses of all shapes and sizes in almost every major industry around the world, but, for most firms, it's Facebook and Twitter that get the most attention, certainly when they're starting out. However, a new study suggests this might be a mistake, as it's Instagram that might actually be the most valuable social channel for brands.

Prospective Students
If you've recently graduated from high school or are considering going back to school for a career change, you're probably wondering what your prospects in college are. Universities have been in the news a lot lately, with rising tuition prices making higher education less and less affordable. Fortunately, there's a great alternative to traditional four-year schools: community college.
Community colleges get a bad rap, with many considering them the fall-back plan for those who couldn't get in to a four-year school, but it is undeserved. Two-year schools are cheaper than four-year schools, and many have the same educational standard. The difference is that while four-year schools focus on academic thinking and abstract concepts, community colleges tend more toward the technical side, with real-world applications for their subjects. This means that community college graduates often get higher starting salaries than four-year graduates, because they already have the experience that employers want.
If you're still not sure that community college is a viable option for you, take a look at some of these resources. Everything you need to know about a two-year education is included in these links.
- FastWeb reveals the many advantages of attending a community college including cheaper tuition, general education, self-discovery and less expenses. Also check out their College Cost Projector and community forums for to get perspective on your education.
- With tuition at an all time high and admittance rates shrinking, the smartest students in America go to community college. Two-year programs have increased in popularity and quality and are quickly becoming a viable alternative to traditional universities.
- Even in 2004, the National Science Foundation statistics showed an increased percentage of science and engineering students beginning their post-secondary education in community colleges. These institutions are not just for vocational training or remedial students.
- While community college definitely has a lingering stigma, there are some clear upsides to enrollment. Scholarships.com takes the good with the bad for a balanced viewpoint on community college life.
- With record turn out for college applications many universities encourage students to attend community college first. Not only would this reduce the strain on four-year institutions, students would have more time to choose their major with less pressure.
- Community college can be a great option for students from abroad to save money and earn credits. They tend to be more diverse than conventional universities and welcome new faces.
- Take a look at University vs. Community College if your are on the fence about your education options. The choice is important and finding the right fit has a large impact on your academic success.
- The American Association of Community Colleges provides statistics on the demographics, cost difference and career goals of students. Essentially, community colleges cater to a variety of different students with equally varied needs.
- Community college has become an easy route for students to continue on to universities, according to the Stanford Graduate School of Business. This leaves all but the best achievers in the dark about what will actually be expected of them in a four-year school.
- Deciding between Harvard and a community college education is becoming a valid question in today's academic climate. While a four-year institution is more impressive, community college allows you to save money while pursuing your degree.
- The National Center for Education Statistics examines the trends of community college enrollment. While students at these institutions come from diverse backgrounds, many use their education as a stepping stone to a bachelor's degree or further study.
- A community college might be cheaper than a four-year university, but it won't land you a high paying job. Aside from career limitations, two-year institutions are not challenging enough for some and student disinterest degrades from class time.
- Recently LaGuardia College in New York stopped their open access policy to limit class sizes. The structure of community colleges is changing and U.S. News tells you what you need to know about their changing policies.
- While many students attend community college with the hopes of one day receiving a baccalaureate degree, statistics show that few finish their academic ambitions. A new study by the Harvard Graduate School of Education claims that students who first go to community college suffer a disadvantage against their four-year peers.
- Community Colleges, Not So Junior Anymore points out some of the advantages of choosing a community college. While they are not for everyone, they play an important role in preparing the nation's learners for future careers.
- Community colleges are much more than just associates degrees and vocational training. A Positive Pathway explains the many reasons to attend a two-year institution and has specific instructions for transfer into the University of California system.
- This community college professor does not hesitate to send her own children to a similar institution. While lacking student involvement and stretched budgets often diminish the quality of the education there, the low cost and receptive teachers make all the difference.
- Nursing programs at community colleges are quickly turning to limited admission to address the popularity of this career. Open admissions are a big draw for two-year colleges but are faced with the challenge of increased demand.
- The ultimate goal for a lot of community college students is to transfer to a four year university and obtain a bachelor's degree. While this pursuit is not impossible, recent demand for transfers has increased competition for these limited spots and is driving up requirements.
- The steps for switching to a university are laid out in How to Transfer from a Community College. The article guides students on what to do during their years at community college and common aspects of transfer like articulation agreements and academic counselling.
- New Jersey recently instated a law requiring colleges to accept an associate degree as the equivalence of two years of undergraduate credits. While student still must apply to universities on their own, they are now guaranteed that their work at community college will transfer over.
- Statistics on college transfer rates were recently collected by the Association of American Colleges and Universities. The data shows the percent of students who switched and what kind of institution they moved to.
- Nevada's Chancellor of Education's suggestion to reduce the amount of students accepted to community colleges. He outlines in "Access to What?" several impending declines in quality of community college education he foresees.

Cardboard Puzzle Chair (with 2 meanings) by Eric Ku:
An inspiration from the American contemporary artist Joseph Kosuth, One and Three Chair.
Instead of giving a new definition, I redefined the concept of a chair by using the alphabet. One is able to construct a chair by assembling the redesigned alphabet.
And here Joseph Kosuth's One Two Three Chair installation that Eric used as his inspiration:
Kosuth's work is all about meaning:

Monday Morning Motivation
Your ability to influence others is proportional to how intimately you know yourself. If you aren't comfortable in your own skin, leading patients (or others) is impossible.
How do you get to know yourself?
Journal. Spend private time with yourself describing the events of the day. Put your feelings into words. Use words to explore your perceptions, worries, reactions and judgments. Only as you are able to assign language to what is so, will you be sufficiently present to inspire those around you.
De-mediate your life. Many of us use media as an avoidance strategy, especially television, a drug administered through the eyes that distracts and pacifies. Plop down in front of the boob tube and we can avoid confronting our shortcomings, disappointments and the dreams we aren't pursuing.
Want to be a change agent? Start with yourself. Like the safety demo. "Put on your mask first before assisting others."

You say you know who I am
But you don't know me
You say " This is who you are"
You don't know me
You are telling everyone am six-teen
Am older than that

And not a little brat
Trying to get my girl
When she's with me
Telling her about my life
But you don't know me
Telling everyone you claimed me as your brother
Am actually your cousin
But you don't know me
So stop with your fussin
Feeding me lies about my girl
When shes telling me the truth
So you better leave her alone
Before you'll lose a tooth.
Ain't no reason to tell everyone who I am
You don't know me
I need you to leave me alone
Just let me be
When am out on the street
Your yelling my name
You better go away
Or I'll bring the pain
I know you though
Always drunk and stone
Telling a girl "I love you"
You better leave her alone
Am eight-teen years old
Am older than you
But you don't know me
So what you gonna do?
wow that was awesome many grammer and spelling mistakes though you need to write more i love your work

I just had the best morning ever.
If someone told me that, I'd assume they got to sleep in, have a big breakfast on the porch, and then maybe eat some cupcakes. With Ryan Gosling.
I didn't do any of those things (but hey Ryan, call me maybe?)
I went to the gym.
If you know me at all, you're probably calling my doctor right now to report sudden, inexplicable changes in my mental state. While I tend to remain trim by watching my diet (nobody say one word about those cupfakes down there), I've always hated exercising.
HATED. I hated playing kickball with such a passion in elementary school that I constructed elaborate fantasies in the outfield, transporting myself to imaginary tropical locales. I welcomed bodily harm if it excused me from the mile run. I got on the soccer team in 7th grade through sheer pity, and even then I was played where my incompetence could do the least damage. When I finally got to the point during my first year teaching where I was doing the elliptical for 15 minutes a day, I felt like a superstar. And then I quit after a month.
I've never been one to push myself physically.
But I'm serious: The reason this morning was the best morning ever was because I went to the gym. After a few Zumba classes, barbell classes, and yoga classes lately, the exercise bug seems to have finally bitten me (I used to regularly tell exercise to "bite me," so it's about time.) This morning, I started with a hard cycle class, swam laps for 45 minutes, did some back extensions, and then settled into a relaxing 45 minutes of yoga-pilates. After showering, I headed to my favorite little deli for a leisurely, celebratory lunch. Even though that was probably a little too much exercise for one day (I'm sore and will be doing less tomorrow), I loved every minute.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not actually good at any of this. Yoga least of all. Everyone'll be ohming and breathing and stretching while I'm flailing and eventually falling on my face. Today we were in whatevervasana, that meditative part at the end, and my yoga teacher said, "Breathe — feel yourself extending beyond your boundaries."
I was the middle school kid in the corner with an attention deficit thinking, "I can't even extend beyond the fact that my face itches. I wonder if everyone's face itches right now?"
Even though I'm a spaz, I do love that part at the end of yoga where we just lie on our mats for like 5 minutes in a mock kindergarten naptime. Any exercise routine that includes naptime works for me.
I even love the hard stuff, though: pushing myself to climb a hill in cycle, lifting a heavier weight, swimming one more lap. My favorite part of exercising is feeling clean, relaxed, and healthy after working out and showering. I also love eating meals and an occasional treat knowing that I worked hard on my health all week and don't have to feel guilty. Who knows, this might finally be the turning point in my relatively sedentary life!
Exercise definitely makes for a great morning in my book, but one thing my morning was lacking was these gorgeous stuffed tomatoes. I made them last week and am sort of obsessing over the memory. If you love a good breakfast strata, you'll love this cute and tasty presentation. Spicy sausage, buttery toast, eggs, and cheese are layered into ripe, juicy tomatoes. The resulting breakfast is hearty, delicious, and so pretty. Since these tomatoes can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning, they're perfect for company or any mornings where you want a nice breakfast without the fuss.
What would your perfect morning consist of? Other than these tomatoes, of course!

Sausage & Toast Breakfast Strata in Baked Tomatoes
Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: 4 servings
This gorgeous breakfast can be prepared a night ahead and baked in the morning. It's hearty, filling, and tasty. Enjoy!
4 large beefsteak tomatoes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling
3 slices of bread (2 thick slices and 1 thin; sourdough or Italian would be nice)
about 3 tablespoons butter, melted for toasting
3/4 cup chopped bell peppers and onions (I used a ready-chopped fajita mix from my grocery store)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeño (or to taste)
about 12 ounces hot sausage
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Toppings: sour cream, diced jalapenos, hot sauce, salsa, chopped green onions, and some fresh cilantro or parsley
Note: This is a great make-ahead breakfast! You can prepare the tomatoes and stuff them the night before (leave off the top croutons so they don't get soggy), covering with a piece of plastic wrap in the fridge. When you're ready for breakfast, leave them sitting out while the oven preheats. Top with croutons, bake, and serve.
Brush both sides of each slice of bread and toast them in a skillet over medium-high heat, flipping once, until they're golden brown all over. Set them aside to cool and, when cooled, slice the thick slices into 1/2-inch cubes. Slice the thin slice into smaller cubes (about 1/4-inch maybe?) — these will be the little "croutons" for the top! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking dish or pie plate with a sheet of parchment paper. You can also use a cast iron skillet (no parchment necessary. Just spritz with cooking spray.) I got my mini ones here.
Use a serrated knife to cut the top off of each tomato. Gently remove the innards (seeds and flesh) of each tomato with a spoon without breaking through the outside flesh — you'll end up leaving a shell that's about 1/4-inch thick all around. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper and place them in the baking dish. If they won't sit upright, you can carefully slice off a sliver of the bottom to create a flat surface. Just don't cut all the way through.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked through. Spoon it out with a slotted spoon onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Discard all but a couple of teaspoons of the sausage grease on the stove (or add a little olive oil if there isn't enough grease). Heat the remaining grease over medium-high heat. Place peppers, jalapeños, and onions into the skillet and toss to coat them with the grease. Sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they're soft and the onions are beginning to turn translucent. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until it's fragrant. Remove this mixture to the paper-towel lined plate with the sausage. After letting the mixture drain for a few minutes, place it in a small bowl and toss it together with the cheddar cheese.
Place a layer of thick bread cubes into each tomato. Spoon a heaping spoonful of the sausage mixture over top. Continue layering bread and sausage, ending with a layer of sausage at the top. Really pack it down! In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, evaporated milk, cayenne pepper, and a little more salt and pepper. Pour this mixture slowly (so it has a chance to soak in) over each tomato, dividing it evenly, until you can't fill anymore without them overflowing. Place your tiny "croutons" on top of each tomato's filling, packing them down. Bake the tomatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the tomatoes are nicely roasted. You might have to tent with foil after about the first 15 minutes so the little croutons don't get too dark. Top with the remaining cheese and continue baking for 5 minutes or until melted. Serve warm with sour cream, cilantro, and any other fixings you'd like.

In December of 1936, after reading advance proofs of John P. Marquand's novel The Late George Apley, Upton Sinclair wrote to Little, Brown, Marquand's publisher,
I started to read it and it appeared to me to be an exact and very detailed picture of a Boston aristocrat, and as I am not especially interested in this type, I began to wonder why you had sent it to me. But finally I began to catch what I thought was a twinkle in the author's eye ... One can never be sure about Boston, and I hope I am not mistaken in my idea that the author is kidding the Boston idea. It is very subtle and clever, and I am not sure that Boston will get it.
Not all of Boston did get it. "There were some in the Back Bay," Edward Weeks, then the editor of The Atlantic, wrote in 1960, "who accepted it quite literally as a biography and who appeared at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts on Sunday afternoons asking to be shown the 'Apley Bronzes.'" In general, however, this pseudo memoir was acclaimed for its affectionate send-up of Old Bostonians from "the water side of Beacon Street" as personified by George Apley (1866-1933), whose feeble attempts at rebellion against the society in which he lived were crushed in a vise of snobbery, tradition, and privilege. Apley's "biographer," the pompous, obtuse Horatio Willing, manages to reveal the sad truths of his subject's resigned conformity in the very effort to airbrush them away. Decades after its publication an anonymous writer in The New Yorker called Apley the "best-wrought fictional monument to the nation's Protestant elite that we know of."
For almost twenty years the forty-four-year-old John Marquand had been churning out formulaic stories and serials for mass-circulation magazines. (He had also created Mr. Moto, a scrupulously polite Japanese secret agent, wildly popular in six books and on the screen, where he was played by Peter Lorre in eight movies from 1937 to 1939.) But Apley, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1938, marked the beginning of his career as a novelist. His next three novels sold so well that in 1944 Life magazine called Marquand "the most successful novelist in the United States." In 1949, after two more, he was featured on the covers of both Time and Newsweek.
Though in his day Marquand was compared to Sinclair Lewis and John O'Hara, and his social portrait of twentieth-century America was likened to Balzac's Comédie Humaine, critics rarely took him very seriously. Throughout his career he believed, resentfully, that their lack of regard stemmed from his early success in the "slicks." Nevertheless, for his stylish depiction of the changes in American society over six decades, his humorous if occasionally grim observations on domesticity, and, above all, his sonorous, seductive prose, he deserves to be rediscovered. (Until very recently Marquand's nine major novels were all out of print; now Little, Brown has reissued Apley under its Back Bay Books imprint and plans to bring out his second novel, Wickford Point, in August.)
I first read Marquand's novels twenty-odd years ago. Back then they swept me up in nostalgia for a time I'd never actually known—my parents' youth, hinted at in anecdotes and glimpsed in old photographs. The outdated, elusive glamour of movies from the 1930s and 1940s surrounded his characters, who religiously dress for dinner, keep eccentric retainers, and wait a prescribed amount of time before using one another's first names. Re-reading these books today, I find that the nostalgia and the glamour are undiminished—and that the dialogue occasionally has a cinematic brittleness. But more striking to me now (perhaps for obvious reasons) is the way in which he regularly tapped into the rue and longing of middle age.
Marquand—whom the critic Charles Brady, in a long appraisal published in 1952, called a "Martini-Age Victorian"—wrote primarily about manners, marriage, and money. In a period during which the order and traditions of Apley's world were smashed by two global wars and a depression, he set heroes who are confused, adrift, and searching for new values and meaning to replace the old. These men are invariably at a professional or marital turning point; and just as invariably they are drawn into their pasts by those ribbons of memory that flutter in us all. Marquand became known for his flashbacks, which he seamlessly, beautifully interwove with the narrative present in what one critic called "witchery with time."
Point of No Return (1949)—which, Apley notwithstanding, may be Marquand's best book—opens on a rainy April morning in suburban New York; the hero, Charles Gray, as he stands in his modern bathroom, remembers the family bathroom of his boyhood in Clyde, Massachusetts, where an April rain would be colder, and would beat harder on the windows. Coincidence thereafter conspires with memory to keep Clyde surging in and out of Charles's present, as we learn of the lost love of his youth—another recurring theme in Marquand—and the destruction of his willful, reckless father in the Crash of 1929. The flashbacks in H. M. Pulham, Esquire (1941) are generated by Harry Pulham's upcoming twenty-fifth Harvard reunion. In Melville Goodwin, U.S.A. (1951) they flow naturally from intensive magazine interviews with a war hero.
The elegiac strain in Marquand's fiction is offset by good-humored satire and dry one-liners ("The cocktails were a credit to Allen in that they proved conclusively that he seldom drank them"). In So Little Time (1943), which takes place as America prepares to enter World War II, Jeffrey Wilson muses on how the generic foreign correspondent has been elevated in the nation's eyes from "stoop-shouldered man ... living amid the smell of cabbage in some dingy apartment on the Boulevard Saint-Germain" to "debonair man of the world," to whom heads of state are "familiar and rather amusingly uncomplex figures." Parodying the language of his targets (who ranged from literary agents to contractors to pediatricians) was a common Marquand method: "Your Correspondent brought away something that he would always remember—the sad lilt of a voice, the brave self-confidence of a laugh ... He felt ... great imponderable forces in the making, the tramp of peoples inexorably on the march."

"The Lake Effect" at Silk Road Rising ★★½
Rajiv Joseph is best known for "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo," a formatively ambitious Pulitzer Prize finalist that starred Robin Williams on Broadway. By contrast with a work that ranges across Iraq and features the narration of a tiger, "The Lake Effect," the new Joseph drama at Silk Road Rising in Chicago is a one-set, three-character, conventionally structured, I-never-knew-my-father drama that never leaves a little Indian restaurant in Cleveland.

The Bradford House (part five)
by Wade Finnegan
The man walked toward me with the gun pointed at my chest. "You know you can only do so much before they are ready to leave the nest. But there is always time for one last picture."
FLASH, CLICK, The room lit up like a finale of a fireworks show. I cupped my hands over my eyes and tried to look for Rachel. Fuzzy shades of white and dark cut across my vision and I stuck out one hand out for stability. THUMP something hit me on the side of the head and face, and the room started to wobble. I spat out a tooth like a piece of Chiclets gum. A pain shot up my spine and my head hit the floor with a dull thud. The lights went out.
I awoke to the sound of the man's voice. "You look beautiful honey. I think you make a terrific couple. Your mother would have been proud. I wish she could of seen this day. This is a perfect setting made for two."
The sweet smell of Rachel penetrated my nostrils and I shook the cobwebs from my head. She stood about three feet across from me. A gorgeous white gown with lace and frills shaped her petite frame. Her image would have been absolutely stunning if it wasn't for the sheer terror plastered on her face. I lurched to hold her, but I couldn't move. My arms and legs were pinned to wooden posts by some industrial wire. My attire, a freshly pressed black tuxedo with a stark white shirt and cumber bun, made me claustrophobic. Gold cuff links finished the penguin suit. I resembled a cut out straight from GQ.
"Now big smiles," said the man. Another flash went off but not nearly as intense as before. He was taking regular pictures. He positioned himself in different angles and grabbed different lenses. I looked up at Rachel and could see make-up being washed out from the constant tears. A crimson spot showed up on my white shirt.
"Can you stop bleeding on that fine garment? You know honey you could of done better." The man chortled a bit and looked over at his daughter and then Rachel. The little girl sat frozen in a chair attached to an IV bottle. Her eyes glassed over and her head bobbed up and down.
"Don't worry honey, I can take that out later. You did all right. No one is good enough for my little girl. It won't be long now and you'll be off on your own and I'll be all alone. But that's the way it is suppose to be, right?" The man clicked off three more pictures and walked out of the back of the room.
Rachel motioned with her eyes and head to look behind me. I strained against my restraints to take a look. Several large red cans were piled with paper and old rags. My heart began to palpitate and a mixture of sweat and blood ran down my cheekbones. The adrenaline rush eliminated the pain and gave me power to break one wire with my right hand. I stretched out to touch Rachel, but couldn't quite reach her. I said in my softest voice, I love you. Rachel flashed a slight smile and I went to work on the next wire. My left hand slipped through when the man entered. He pushed in a buffet cart with a giant five-layer cake a top of it. The white frosting lay like velvet robes adorned on the most prestigious queen. Around the top layer an inscription written in fashionable cursive. Air left my body as I read the same sentence illuminated in the previous room, "Death captures us all".
The man spotted my free arms and rushed to me. "Oh no, you can't leave yet. We have one more photo to capture before I send the two of you to live happily ever after." He grabbed both of my hands and pinned them behind my back. I could feel the wires tearing my legs. Quick jolts of displeasure shot up my legs and as much as I tried to free myself from his grip he held on. SNAP! my left wrist splintered in two and the man handcuffed me. I was certain death was near. The man retrieved the cake and wheeled it between Rachel and I.
"There, the perfect shot before I send you two on your honeymoon. Isn't the cake perfect my dear? Just like in the catalog." He glanced at Rachel and turned to his daughter. Her head slumped over her shoulder in an unnatural way. Where the IV needle entered her arm a bulbous lump formed under the skin. Her frail body looked like sugar glass that would crumple with the slightest touch.
"No, no, no, no, no!" He ran to her side and cradled her head. There was no life, only a shell of a little girl. "I was so close, only a few shots and it was all captured perfectly. You!" He turned and glared at me. His eyes blood shot and filled with rage. He pointed his gun straight at my head. "Your heroics ate into my time. It ate into our precious little time. I should end your time right now!"
He put the gun down and picked up his little girl from the chair. He laid her next to the cake. He stroked her hair and swept her cheek. With a jerk he grabbed a lighter from his back pocket and headed to the combustibles. Rachel's eyes widened and she began to scream. I pulled my legs free from the wire and kicked over my post. Pain radiated up my arm like a red-hot poker. All I could think about was Rachel. She was hysterical. The man sprayed gasoline like a ruptured water line in giant ovals. On my back I worked my hands under the post and my feet. My senses of consciousness going in and out like ocean waves. "Please no!" Rachel screamed.
"Death captures us all! Death captures us all!" The man held the lighter high and flicked the wheel. Flash blazed my eyes and the world burst into flames.
"Son, you're alright, breath slowly. Your mother is on her way." The paramedic raised the stretcher and inserted me into the ambulance.
"Rachel, where's Rachel?" I looked beyond my feet hoping to catch a glimpse. The paramedic placed his hand on my shoulder and took a picture from his pocket. "This floated down next to you when you started to breath again."
It was Rachel, perfect in every way looking beautiful in the gown. I captured her, he didn't. I captured her in my heart.
