I like the combo. We are doing something very similar. We are getting medallion pecan cherry cabinets which appear close to your color) and went with palais versaille tile for the floor (these have a lot of variation but are cream, to light tan based), and we are doing tan brown granite. I dont have any pics yet but will post some once my cabinets (eventually) come in. |
The colors look a little off in your first photo with the slab of granite. If your color is more accurate in the photos with the cabinet door, granite sample and floor sample, I think it looks great! Good luck with your decision. Barb |
I think it looks very nice! So when does it get put in? Hope you put up more pictures after it is done (or even partially done). |
Agree with bbtondo that in the first picture the cabinet is not good with the granite. My monitor shows the door in the first picture very yellow. However the second and third photos the door looks totally different. If the top picture is not representative and the others are then I say good choice! |

I really like the floor tile and cabinet door together--sorry, not crazy about the granite with your cabinet choice; however, it may just be my monitor because it looks like it has a pinkish cast. |
I'm sure you know this, but be wary of making decisions based on samples. Will you be picking your slabs of granite, or ordering 'Tropical Brown' sight unseen? Could be the monitor/ picture quality- but there seem to be yellowy tones in your cabinet, and pinky/peachy tones in your granite. BTW, my first thought was that a Golden Uba Tuba would be great with those cabs. I saw one in a show room that was stunning- there were so many gold flecks in it, I didn't even realize it was Uba Tuba- which I usually think of as close to black. |

okay, you did say it was okay to voice an opinion... I think it is too safe. It all goes nicely together for sure, but just sort of predictable. were it me, I'd want a little bit more pizzazz. I really like the doorstyle and wood... very warm and pretty. |
Thanks everyone! Yes, the color in the first pic is a bit overexposed bc of the camera flash. The 2nd and 3rd pictures better reflect the cabinet color. However, even to me looking at it in person, the cabinet color looks very different in different types of light. So, I think we are going to hold off on our final granite decision until we can see the cabinets installed in the room. DH and I did go to the tile store so he could see more of the tiles. Luckily, the store had decent sized display area of "our" tile. We both still like it (I am actually liking it more and more). So, the cabinets are bought, the floor is decided (as soon as the store can get me the price for the 19x19s...She had to call Italy bc they are special order, but using the 13x13 price as a indicator we should be ok budget wise). As much as I just want to make a decision about granite and move on, I really think it is best to wait to see the cabinets and floor in the space...Just means more time using the laundry sink - UGH! Not sure if I see pink in the tropical brown. I will have to look closer when we see the whole slab again. (raehelen...I will absolutely be picking my exact slabs). mamadadapaige...I am the Queen of playing it safe and then regretting my decisions. So, PLEASE, spice up my kitchen - What would you suggest? The floor tile is going throughout the entire first floor (except sunken famly room) so we wanted something neutral. As far as granite goes, DH does not like a lot of movement and we are trying to stick with something in the lower price points. Any suggestions? Thanks again everyone! |

I'm going to hop on the mamadada train. First the positives, and let me preface this by saying that we have KraftMaid cherry cabs and turkish travertine floors that look quite similar to yours so I love those two choices. The cherry, as I'm sure you know, darkens and warms over the years and it is just so lovely. Our floors, though neutral, DO have pizzaz in the sense that they are travertine, matte, and are exceptionally striking in the sense that they are an organic material and unique. I am not familiar with your tile so I am not sure if they are ceramic or stone. I would vote stone as it is timeless and ads a depth of interest and beauty not quite found in ceramic. On to the hard part and I won't mince words: boring. Model home boring. dated boring. My contractor told me he is ripping this kind of stuff out boring. You can do much better and will be happier in the long run. Are you wed to brown or in that family? I will tell you that a black counter top looks stunning with the cherry and beige/creamy tile floor. Soapstone (this was our choice), honed black granite (I am NO granite fan but the honed black is stunning) or other matte surface. It makes it a bit more timeless and interesting. be careful or your kitchen will look like a showroom and have no distinctive mark that makes it yours! That said, it is hard to argue with an aesthetic choice... |

merimom, How about Vermont slate? I saw it recently on a kitchen tour and fell in love with it. It is VERY durable, does not have a lot of movement so good for your husband's request. It comes in lots of different colors. It has a quality to it that would make your kitchen look unique and timeless and would look STUNNING with those cabinets. Because you chose a neutral floor you can pretty much do anything you'd like with the counters which is really nice. Below are some pictures of the vermont slate that I pulled off of the web. |
missopinion47...fitting screen name...LOL :-) Mamadada...WOW - That Vermont slate is beautiful...I especially like the one with in the bathroom setting. I wonder about upkeep and cost...I'll have to do some research...While I haven't been looking for it, but I dont think I have seen that at any of the granite/stone yards I've been to. Lots to think about. I was backing away from the black granite (we were originally thinking uba tuba orignally bc it was in our price range and I like the green and gold) because I was not sure if I liked the sharp contrast in cabinet and counter. However, now I wonder if everything is going too monocromatic and nothing will POP. I do like our floor and cabinet choices. Our floor is a porcelain tile...We debated travertine (and still do a little), but a quality honed, filled travertine is about $8/sq ft in our area and that is a bit out of our price range. We live in a modest area and while we do plan on staying here for awhile, we really dont want to overimprove too much. Not too mention, I like the idea of a low maintenance porcelain floor with 2 young boys! But real travertine it is not - I know this. Please continue offer any suggestions you may have. I will be sure to post pics of the cabinets and floors once they are in...Hopefully installation will start soon after Thanksgiving. |

Meri- I saw your post on our thread, thanks. We looked at tropic brown but thought it blended too much. I liked uba tuba but didnt want the gold. our tile is porcelean also but has a limestone/travertine type look and feel. We had also thought abour dark green granites and liked the way they looked, they were out of our price range though. As you can see, we saved the POP for the backsplash. |
- Posted by remodelfla (My Page) on Tue, Nov 25, 08 at 17:19
Is your kitchen open to other rooms? If so, are the furnishings light, med., or dark wood? What other colors do you have running through your home? I prefer lighter granites myself but am not sure of the price points on what's out there. |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Tue, Nov 25, 08 at 17:41
I have had Tropical Brown and it does not have a pink tone. I despise pink and can see tones when others don't. lol Many tiles, including yours (IMHO)have a pinkish tone. I am afraid that once your tile is down, the overall picture will look either pinkish or orangey. Right now, I am not crazy about your cabinets with the TB granite. However, having the KraftMaid cherry (in the next darker stain,) I know that the cabinets will darken and will eventually look great with the TB. :) They will take about a year to start darkening. I just posted photos of my counter tops and kitchens on the "Let's Talk about NVG" thread. |
- Posted by missopinion47 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 25, 08 at 19:01
I hope I didn't offend. Several of your choices were similar to mine which I love and I hope I communicated that. I LOVE the Vermont slate--see, it is ALL about matte. Good find, mamadadapaige! Our backsplash area is smallish but we did go with a shiny marble tile, sort of close to the floor color. It is very subtle but different enough to look really nice and contrasts with the matte counter top. Also consider the HONED black granite, it is stunning in an understated way. Less IS more... Apologies again if I was too tough:) |
I'll join the mamadada-missopinion bandwagon and say that what you've got there is brown overload. Pink or peach or whatever else the tones might be, doesn't really matter because the combination is quite simply way too brown. I love the slate linked too above although that would never have occurred to me as a mate to the cherry above. Taking at least one of the majority elements in the kitchen in a different direction would be fantastic and the slate is quite an inspired choice. Good luck! |
- Posted by remodelfla (My Page) on Tue, Nov 25, 08 at 20:55
Simply... what colors do you love? Warm, autumn, cool, pastels, bold.... |
I would definitely say warm, autumn colors....That's why we ended up with cherry cabinets We have decided to buy a box of our tiles to make sure we like them in the space. They are non-returnable, but I'd rather lose out on a box of tile than regret a very costly decision. Oh, decisions, decisions, decisions... Thanks again to everyone for your honest opinions...More are welcome so feel free to keep 'em comin'. I'll keep you updated. |
Merimom, I think the Vermont slate would look stunning with those beautiful cherry cabinets. I especially like the third pic she posted (couldn't really tell what the second one was). Good Luck! |
Have you looked at Dakota Mahogany granite? It looks awfully nice with our cherry cabs. |
- Posted by missopinion47 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 11:10
merimom, okay, you asked, I'll do my best to answer you. First, the sealing and necessary re-sealing because it is so porous is something I would not want to deal with. Using trivets or other protective surfaces before setting scalding pots down is also something I would not want to do. Obviously many people deal with these issues and they aren't really a big deal. I understand adapting and then it becomes part of ones routine. My chief issue is purely aesthetic. The hard and reflective surface is ubiquitous. Regardless of the style, quality or vintage of the home, there it is. I find it often at odds with the style of the house: examples would be a colonial home in New England, or a California 1930's bungalow--how incongruous bright shiny granite counters would be. Instead of honoring a style and having the counters blend seamlessly into the overall design, there is the shiny granite. Most of us do not live at Versailles, let's not go wild with materials that are at odds with the home. I also think as white cabinets are indicative of the 70's and Corian the 90's, granite is the sign of the 2000's and will eventually be sort of a marker of a time. Considered use of materials in conjunction with the home's style can result in a timeless and interesting design. Bottom line is MOST polished granite is cold and uninteresting (TO ME) as a counter surface. I'm a fan of matte surfaces that are soft, warm and inviting and soothing to the eye. Matte does not mean dull, there is definitely a quiet pop to unpolished surfaces. Do you really want your kitchen to look like every other? |
- Posted by catamount90 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 13:05
Have you considered Dakota Mahogany? My cabinets (Kraftmaid Natural Cherry) are a similar color and I think the Dakota goes well. Just another thought. |
Gosh, I must play it safe because my first thought on your choices was that they worked very well together LOL! Your TB granite looks exactly like the Dakota Mahogany I had in my last kitchen and like the 2 that are posted above. Is it just a different name? I had mine with Maple cabinets with a honey glaze and I thought they complimented each other very well. But there was no POP and I can understand wanting something more exciting. |
Thanks everyone! I REALLY appreciate the input. I have seen Dakota Mahogany (I think?)...Isn't kinda red? Not sure if I want red tones bc it might clash with the orange undertones in the cabinetry. I did a little research on the slate and soapstone and I am not sure they are in our price range...$100-$150 per sqft, is that about right? I need to see a larger piece of honed black granite to determine if it is for me. I think honed black and soapstone look great with white cabinets, but I am not sure if it is what I want. We definitely need to get a couple walls of cabinetry up before we make and further decisions. I've decided to take a break from thinking about all this until after the turkey and pumpkin pie have digested...Maybe the tryptophan will bring me clarity of thought...or at least a good nap - Happy Thanksgiving everyone! |
- Posted by missopinion47 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 17:49
I can only speak to the soapstone cost: $100+ sounds about right and of course that includes fabrication and installation. I think your idea of putting in the cabinets first and then deciding is a great idea. p.s. I was re-reading your original post which began this lovely long thread where you said your DH preferred a more modern "rectified" look, surely you meant rectilinear...? Have a happy Thanksgiving and ponder your options. Catamount; I love your cabinets, are you planning pulls of some kind? |
- Posted by pluckymama (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 18:29
There is a website that gives different stones and their price points (I saw this on another thread). It might help you to figure out what will work for you cost wise. Here is the link: http://www.allmarbleandgranite.us/granitecolors.html Have a Happy Thanksgiving! |
Thanks, pluckymama. That is a useful site. We are definitely trying to stay in a level 1 or 2 (ok, 3, if I fell in love with something!) missopinion....Actually, I did mean rectified when I referred to the tile. A rectified tile is one that is fired and THEN cut to precise measurements (as opposed to being made in a mold which gives some variance in size). A rectified tile allows you to lay the tiles very close together with almost no grout line. You tend to see this in very modern, sleek settings. Glad to hear you like the cabinets...They are the one thing DH and I agreed on from the beginning! I have been casually looking for pulls, but have not found anything yet. Looking for something not too sleek, not too rustic, not too "period"...I guess I am looking for something "transitional". Got any suggestions? |
- Posted by missopinion47 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 26, 08 at 22:56
Thank you for the education on 'rectified tiles" I was completely unaware of such a thing and love to learn. I looked it up and it sounds wonderful: credit card thin sized grout joints-wow, amazing what they can do. Thanks again for your informing me:) Pulls are really tough. We brought home about 30+ samples from Expo (they have a huge collection) and then ordered maybe five online. We really needed to hold them up to the cabinets. Once we did that, the "absolutely nots" were immediately obvious. It was amazing, some pulls we loved looked horrible on our cabinets and others we were so-so about looked really good. There was only one set that warranted a "great" right away and we were surprised (read shocked) super modern which usually isn't our thing. But they worked, we love them and we haven't looked back. So prepare yourself and your DH for some pull samples. If you are bringing pulls home to try, really open your mind and consider trying ones that you aren't sure about, they just may be the ones. As with most things, less is more. best of luck to you. |

I was snapping randomly with my camera one day while driving, and came up with this picture, which has a little bit of an artsy vibe to it.
Reynolds Recycling is one of the places around town where people can go to redeem cans and bottles for deposits. They also recycle scrap metal, which has risen in value in recent years and is now worthwhile for some to collect. Reynolds Recycling has around 30 locations around the state. I am not sure whether that is a sign that people here are serious about recycling, conserving resources and caring for the environment, or simply a sign of the times and poor economy. I tend to suspect that it is the latter; people and businesses here seem to get away with far too many violations against the environment, to the point where I have begun to see business owners "in the know" refuse to eat local seafood. How sad.

A trial date will be set in September for an Ashland business leader, who faces nine charges for alleged sexual contact with an underage girl.
Todd Attkisson, president and CEO of Ashland Rolling Mills, appeared in the Henrico Circuit Court Thursday morning, where Judge Richard S. Wallerstein Jr. set his next court date for Sept. 12 at 1:30 p.m.
Aug. 7 he was charged on nine counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor in Henrico between Nov.2, 2008 and Jan. 31, 2011, according to the indictments. At the time of the alleged first incident, the girl was 15 years old.
Attkisson will continue on bond that was set by a judge in court Aug. 19.
Ashland Rolling Mills has been a Hanover staple since 1740 and the Attkissons' involvement with the business dates back to the 1940s when his family began operating the facility. The Attkisson family purchased the mill in 1954.

The perverts of America are freaking out because Jessica Alba's recent nude scene in "Machete" was apparently CGI-created. Instead of getting naked for the role, which Alba has steadfastly resolved to avoid at all costs, she wore white underwear which were then digitally removed in post-production. Judging from the before and after pictures, they took a couple pounds of flesh off as well. But people aren't freaking out because of the chop-shop job on her tummy; it seems that people feel duped for believing they had actually seen Alba naked. Personally, I don't understand why they care so much since so much of what we see in movies are body doubles anyway. And as Entertainment Weekly pointed out, there are only four options if an actress doesn't want to be nude—cut the scene, wear a bra all the time like Carrie Bradshaw, use CGI, get a body double to fake it, or hire a new actress. And of the options, I think I might be on Team CGI, especially if the nudity is actually necessary for the role, which it totally wasn't for "Machete." If you're looking for gratuitous nudity, why not go faux? [EW]
We've scrounged up some other CGI nude moments in movie history to continue the debate. Keep reading »

Thurs. 1/14. Is your personal computer running slow? Think you need a new one? Before you shell out anywhere from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand for a brand new PC you might want to come to our January meeting. Talk about recycling! The ultimate recycling project is to make your old PC work like new again. In the process you can not only save the landfills from more circuitry and plastic, but also retain some cash in your pocket.
Essentially, most PCs made over the last five years are quite adequate to run Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7. The main reason most people buy a new computer, leaving the old one in a closet somewhere or worse - simply throwing it away, is corruption of the operating system. Steve Garrison will be giving a lecture on the several ways people can restore the corrupted machine to good functionality and save the dollar and environmental cost of purchasing a new one.
This will include but not be limited to:
- Performing a "from scratch" reload of the operating system
- Touch on saving important user files prior to "scratch reload"
- Create a boot CD to virus sweep prior to load of the operating system
- Temporarily remove hard drive and attach to clean PC for virus sweep, (more advanced)
A reasonably savvy pc owner should be able to do these techniques. Those who are somewhat intimidated can contract these processes at far less cost than replacement of the machine. Snacks and drinks will be provided, but bring your own cup/mug! We'll see you at 6:30 pm at the Joe M. Ford Center, Room 210 – 405 Corner Street in Gadsden. For info: David Fincher, 256-538-9444.

To start my name is Jeremy and I am the proud owner of the Monster, My Baby and the '74. The '74 isn't any where near done yet but maybe some better pictures will be in the making. Believe it or not there was a time when I didn't know from my ass and a hole in the ground about cars. I did a little bit just by helping my dad work on 'em but other than getting into the engines and horsepower and torque. But when I started getting more involved with all the fun stuff is when I started hangin around with my aunt's ex-boyfriend. Well that was well a pretty fun time between the drinking and well ummm other things that aren't necessarily legal we didn't get much work done but I learned quite a bit about engines, transmissions, drivetrains, brakes and other stuff more along the line of performance. And then the Beretta came a long and well the rest of that part about me is history.
About me as a person, well I'm probably the most outgoing person anyone could ever meet. I fly by the seat of my pants so to speak if it sounds like fun usually I'm there. Lately I haven't been able to do too much of that due to too much stuff that needs to be done. Amazingly I haven't been arrested yet lol. Whether its a party out in the middle of no where, or hanging out with my buddies. But I love to street race when I get the chance. Haven't been on a strip yet, but after my bro's 48 Ford F-3 truck with a 460 BBC gets completed Skyview Drags in Syracuse is where its gonna be. I'm a pretty fun-lovein guy, and I'm simple too. I don't like things too complicated, I'm straight forward and true, I don't like to deal with people's selfish egotistic bull**** as my father and I say. I mean don't get me wrong, we all have issues and bull**** but some people just have more than others. Other than I'm a simple guy, I didn't have a whole lot of things given to me nor was money really readily available so I enjoyed the simple things in life which is what has made me who I am today. I wouldn't have it either other way to be honest.
My first car
My first car was an 86 Cavalier with a 2.0 gutless 4 cylinder, until my dad junked it due to the body getting pretty beat up on it.
Car I wish I still had
I guess I haven't been alive long enough to say that but I know a car I wish i did get and that was an 85 Monte Carlo SS with a 350 4 barrel under the hood.
My dream car
Oh boy this is a rough one, there are a few. The first and foremost the brand new 2010 Chevy Camaro, then there is the 67 Corvette L88 C48 that has 560 horse off the showroom floor. And last but not least I would have to say a 69 Yenko Camaro 427
- Type of racing: Street Racing is usually what happens around here due to the drag strip being in Syracuse.
- Driver: Long Live the Intimidator RIP Dale Earnhardt
- Driving song: Rev Theory- Hell Yeah
- Car movie: Gone in 60 Seconds, Redline, Fast and the Furious (the first one is due to the Charger owned by VIn's character, and in the second the 69 Yenko Camaro)
- Car book: Repair manuals, my 50 Years of Corvette book, and whatever else has to do with cars and trucks
- Car magazine: Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and Swap Sheets
- Car game: Gran Turismo series, Nascar, and some of the other street racing games

Comfy crocs
I spent a good 30 minutes in my local Crocs store trying on a variety of styles with the assistance of a store associate. Most styles were too wide for my narrow feet but this style was a good fit so I bought a pair in brown. When I received an email promotion recently I decided to purchase another pair in navy since I was so pleased with my first pair and I have not been disappointed. They have become my favorite shoes to slide on and begin my day.

*Two Stars* Very rich and multifaceted aromas of ripe apples, sweet citrus, lightly toasty oak and roasted grains give this wine an inviting leg up, and its combination of rich yet balanced flavors keep it solidly on track. It is fairly full in body without evident turn to heaviness, and its convincingly long, youthfully vital finish raises the notion of some two to four years of cellaring, but only if the early charms of this immensely inviting wine can be avoided. Otherwise, please let it sit for a year or two. (5/ 2011)

NBA player Lamar Odom, husband of reality star Khloé Kardashian Odom, has checked himself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.
A source told People.com, "He realized he needs help."
Odom was arrested for DUI last week, and his reported drug use has put a strain on his marriage to Khloe. She reportedly staged an intervention for Odom last month, but it was unsuccessful at that time.
The youngest Kardashian is staying strong, though, for Lamar's sake, and is focused on getting him the help he needs. She tweeted last Sunday, "As much as I wish I were made of steel… I'm not. I'm pretty damn close to it though hehe."
Odom's father struggled with heroin addiction, and Odom once wondered if he was "fighting my father's demons," says People.
Attorney Robert Shapiro will rep the basketball player in his DUI case. Shapiro and the late Robert Kardashian worked on the O.J. Simpson case together, and Shapiro has helped the family with past legal problems.
Shapiro's son died of an overdose in 2005 at age 24, and Shapiro has been active in drug addiction charities.

New York City has extraordinarily segregated neighborhoods and radically unequal educational opportunities for its black children. Segregated housing patterns ensure that most black students attend poorly resourced public schools, while schools in predominantly white, wealthy neighborhoods have the resources to help children succeed.
No one who has ever come out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender to their family, particularly their parents, will ever forget that life-altering moment. Sometimes the connective thread will be cut; other times that bond will be deepened, enriched by this new reality.
Every census report in the post-Civil Rights Movement era, and the countless Urban League's State of Black America reports show that the inner cities continue to get blacker and browner and poorer, while the suburbs got whiter and wealthier. That trend isn't likely to change.
I started saying that it's taken 7 years for us to see success, but then I found a flaw in that statement. I've actually been successful even during the tough times. It's all about how you define success. For me, I've decided to define success based on daily wins. I've had many of them and I've learned many lesson.
Do Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush have the Reagan-Obama swag that can waltz through the party of those multiple responses to SOTU last night? Or do they look more like the former Massachusetts Governor -- Dukakis?
The surge in the number of disadvantaged children in the nation's public classrooms is a recent phenomenon that has triggered awareness among researchers, public officials and educators. As a result of the shift to a majority-poor student population, more children than ever now start kindergarten noticeably lagging behind their privileged public school peers.
There is no place any longer, either in the NFL or the nation at large, for the injustices and hypocrisies of prohibitionist marijuana policies. It's time for the NFL to be a leader and create a rational and science-based marijuana policy.

I think it's an excellent and very clean design. Prepare to be plagiarized! Having lived in several houses with wavy walls, I like that the design allows for some of that -- I really dislike having to fit a piece to such a wall.

text: Somers, Conn. Students at The Grammar School at Somersville enjoyed a special presentation from the MacDuffie School Acting Ensemble. The acting class, made up entirely of MacDuffie high school students, presented a touring performance of Greed; a play in four scenes focusing on themes of greed and sharing from different parts of the world. The first story was from a collection of short stories written by Leo Tolstoy. The second story originated in Brazil and is a tale about the difficulty of sharing. The third story was called The Old Woman and the Tramp and originated in Sweden and the final act was a tale from Nicaragua called the Invisible Hunters. With the exception of the Tolstoy story, the MacDuffie students from the advanced acting class adapted all of the stories in Greed for the stage performance themselves. The group designed, created and arranged all of the props for the four acts as well. They are led by a Stage Manager, Lauren Rosenberg, a MacDuffie senior and Longmeadow, MA resident. Lauren is also an alumna of The Grammar School at Somersville. The Grammar School students in grades 2 through 6 were charmed and entertained by the MacDuffie students as they watched the stories come to life. The children are exposed to a variety of arts such as a theater group, an opera performance, or an author/ storyteller as part of a Grammar School education and the MacDuffie Acting Ensemble was a perfect complement to the curriculum. "It was especially nice to welcome back a Grammar School alumna, Lauren Rosenberg, as an example to our students and what they have to look forward to." said Dianne Regnier, Director of Admissions for The Grammar School. Located in Somers, Connecticut, The Grammar School at Somersville is a fully accredited, independent elementary school enrolling students from several surrounding communities in Northern Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. |

In the past we've had discussions about appliances, what kind, color, experiences etc. Back in the early seventies,we bought several new appliances, and they were all the color of Harvest Gold. Little by little we have replaced all of them, except the washing machine.
Now, I'm looking to replace my trusted washing machine. It's more than 30 yo,and it has been a real work horse. It has been through a family of five, more towels, sheets and jeans etc. that I can count. But the washer is sounding like it might be time to think of a replacement. It is kind of sentimental to think of a machine as part of the family, but that's the way it is, and it is time to move on.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Harvest Gold washer
Follow-Up Postings:
Joann was given a front-loader when her washer died and she says that she would choose a top-loader to replace it, she is not really happy with the front-loading machine. |
I bought a Viking front loader at an auction sale it sold originally from Eatons and was likely 30 years plus. It still works great - HEAVY though. Still in my basement cause I ain't moving that sucker again. I replaced it with a larger capacity whirlpool front loader and it works well for me. Calliope your machine reminds me of my first the washer I had. It was my grandmothers. It had the wash tub and the spinner side by side. When the close were in the washer half they also were swished and sloshed around like crazy, then when in the spinner it sounded like an airplane taking off. Got the clothes clean though and that's what counts :) |

Thanks for the replies. I'm glad I've started looking before I need a new machine. calliope, thanks for recommending another forum, I found the Appliances Forum and now I'm looking for the laundry forum. I have work to do. A knitting friend told me that the front loaders do not do "felting". That's when you knit a project from pure wool, put in the washer with some detergent and let it run until it is the size you want. I'll take that into consideration when I choose a new washer. I know, I know, it may not make sense to most people. |
- Posted by jazmynsmom Z5 Madison-ish (My Page) on Sun, Jun 5, 11 at 21:01
I think what kind of washer one wants depends largely on what kind of clothing one finds oneself washing. Much of my laundry is "hand wash" and "delicate cycle only." I love my front loader (12 years old now) for its lack of an agitator. I'm happy to do a little hand scrubbing on exceptionally soiled stuff if it means my wardrobe enjoys an extended life span. One size does not fit all, and you should take your wardrobe into account when you decide what works for you... |
Good advice.....our wardrobe is mostly heavily soiled cottons and denims. I adored the front loader my kids had in England and wanted one just like it, and set the money aside, but couldn't find the equivalent here. I used to work in the engineering labs of a major appliance manufacturer and soon developed an appreciation for the simpler machines because if made decently, there wasn't much to go wrong with them. I saw too many examples on the laundry forum of folks having to double rinse their clothing, circumvent the programming on the machine computers, and was flabberghasted at a load taking nearly two hours to wash. I can wash the filthiest loads I have in fifteen minutes and have it done with. I have to interact with my machine, but I'm cool with that. |
White is always in style. A friend has a stainless stel and she hates it. Always needs to be polished. Another friend has a front loader and she is unhappy with it. Manufacturer's are always coming up with something new to keep us buying! Give me a good old white Maytag! |

Materials needed:
nylon string
scrap wood (solid wood, not pressed such as mdf or plywood. if/when it gets wet it will eventually fall apart)
aluminium tube
Tools needed:
jig saw
hack saw
tape measure
sand paper
drill bit (a little bit bigger than the size of the thread)
first step... figure out what you want it to look like.
I made mine to have 6 chime thingies with a hexagon mount.
Step 1:
Once drawn out on wood cut them out. i used a jig saw for this.
Using the drill, drill a hole in the center of the piece that chimes and holes in the top mounting piece. See the picture for an explanation of the holes
Once you have all your holes driller grab your sand paper and sand everything down, round all the edges/corners.The smoother and nicer the finish you have the better it will look in the long run, so take your time.
Step 2:
Grab a stain that tickles your fancy and stain the pieces. brush on, wait, wipe off.
I gave each piece two coats and let them dry overnight.
Once the stain is dry give the pieces a few coats (I did 3) of clear coat and again let it sit overnight to dry.
Thicker tubing material will make a richer sound. And drilling your suspension holes at 22.4% of the length at the vibration node will lessen dampening of the vibration. (This is the point where the pipe doesn't move while vibrating.)

I am in the process of installing new outdoor wall lights on my house which has red cedar shingles with an 8 inch reveal. The builder installed the electical boxes right in the middle of a shingle course with no block. So the lights I am installing are tilted upward. What can I do to level them out? I was thinking about picking up some shingles and flipping them, cutting a hole for the box and nailing them....in effect making a cedar block out of them. Any ideas? Is there a better way? |

Back in the good ol' days we lived 45 minutes down the road from the park and went only to find out that the Haunted Mansion, Carousel of Progress, AND Pirates were closed for the day.
Which makes me wonder why we still refer to them as "the good ol' days".
Of course, back then your only info pertaining to park hours and events that day were when you tuned into the A.M. station on property. And closed attractions were only advertised after you walked through the gates.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Looking to replace a total of 12 windows with fairly standard white vinyl, double hung, double pane windows. I've gotten several quotes and wanted to get some opinions on these. All of them have been quoted at roughly $400 per opening installed.
Two different dealers have offered Alside Excalibur windows under their own house brand name. One dealer has offered Thermalock Hallmark windows. One building supply company (must provide my own installer) has offered PGT Spectraguard and Simonton Prism Bronze. To me they all *look* pretty much the same, but then again, I don't really know what I'm looking at. Have also been offered Gilkey windows at about $541 each installed and Gorrell windows at about $600 each installed. We're planning to be hear maybe 5-10 years more, so while I want a good quality window, I'm not looking for a "forever" window, if you know what I mean. Any opinions or preferences among those choices? Thanks in advance. |

Which one did you like the best and why? 5-10 years you will never net the return on investment from an energy savings standpoint and that is a horrible idea to base a window decision on regardless. Which do you think will add the most value to your home? Get the Simonton contractor to quote you the Platinum. |
Right now I'm leaning toward the PGT Spectraguard, as they look the best to me, design wise. As I said before, though there is not a *lot* of difference as far as I can see. I understand the ROI situation. My motivation for doing this at this time is partially for energy savings. But it's more related to fact that the existing windows are super-cheap and several have experienced seal failures, causing fogging and condensation. And a few have suffered other problems with the lift mechanisms making them difficult to operate. I'm convinced that anything that I put in will be better than what I have now. |
Any other opinions? Thank you. |
I have the Marvin Infinity fiberglass windows and love them. We've had them for five years now and they're great. I liked the look better than vinyl, but couldn't afford the higher priced wood, so these were a nice compromise. If someone is your area carries this line, they're certainly worth looking at. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Marvin Infinity fiberglass windows
PGT Spectraguard would be an excellent choice. Has a structural rating of DP50 and an air infiltration rating of .04. on the double hung. It's also one of the better looking windows out there IMO. |
The absolutely best window replacement company out there is Window World. They have been around for over 17 yrs the use dbl strength glass which is an 1/8 of an inch each pane compared to all the other companies that use 1/16. Better insulating and an all inclusive transferable lifetime warranty. There tax credit window with exterior trim is around 335 per dbl hung installed. Cant beat there window. I have 11 properties including my own and have them in every property. they are in 46 states shouldn't have a problem finding a dealer. also, there windows have the good house keeping seal. |

Sure and in what capacity do you work for Window World? |
Well he seems to know very little about what's important about windows like structural ratings, water and air infiltration, durometer glazing, vinyl formula etc. so I'd guess he's a manager. :7) |

Today, we started out at the Western North Carolina Nature Center. There they had species native to North Carolina. My favorite animal that I got to see was the grey wolf. I did not realize how big these wolves actually are until today. They are beautiful animals; there was a white one and a grey one. Also, first thing this morning we got to hear the coyotes howl and yelp. I have heard them several time in the wild, and it is still an amazing thing to hear. One animal that I wanted to see was the red wolf. I guess it stayed in its hut all day. Another great animal was the timber rattlesnake. There were three different colors of the rattlesnake.
Our second stop was Catawba Falls. It was a long hike, but was very relaxing. At the start of the hike, we missed a snake that we tried to catch. Once we got to the waterfall, we captured crayfish, stone flies, may flies, Dobson flies, larval fish, and a northern water snake. It was a good-size snake, maybe two-feet long. It had a strong musk smell. Also, while at this site, Max caught the only female crayfish. Today was an exciting day.

Anybody off hand have an idea of what could be wrong when I turned the switch on for the wipers and nothing happened?

I know this is very basic and I do not mean to offend but did you check the fuses? |
- Posted by gooseberry_guy (My Page) on Tue, Jul 26, 05 at 9:54
Urlee, Do you have intermittent wipers? The wipers on my 95 Lumina van would occasionally not turn on, stop in mid swipe, and do other annoying things, I found out that the pulse circuit board was defective, and it's a common problem on GM cars and trucks. If that's the case, you can buy a new board for about 30 bucks, and replacing it is easy. You may still want to get a mechanic to confirm that everything else is working before you replace it though. GG |
Thank you both for your replies. I used the vehicle this morning and tried the wipers and to my surprise, they worked? I value your feedback very much. No offense Roosevelt. I am inclined to think what GG said is starting to happen? Will see if that happens again, then for sure will have to be fixed. ~Urlee~ |
Break out your trusty test light and do continuity. The current from the power supply must be running into an "open" somewhere. Not a bad price($30),IMO, for the circuit board...and better that than the motor itself($50 to $100) |
Thanks EW, I see we both clicked at the same time. ~Urlee~ |
- Posted by gooseberry_guy (My Page) on Tue, Jul 26, 05 at 12:53
That problem drove me up the wall until I started searching for a price on a new wiper motor and found the pulse board was also available separately. I checked a little on google, and found this was a common problem. I had that motor out four or five times, checking for voltage at the connector and other checks, with nothing unusual showing. Unbelievably, the first replacement module was also defective, and wouldn't let the wipers turn off. GG |
- Posted by toasted_311 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 2, 05 at 1:17
there is also a recall on the wiper control boards on the Chevy trucks 95-98ish...had my 95's replaced by recall and bought the entire motor from a salvage for $20 for the 98..used just the board..easy to swap out..5-10 minute job. They both acted the same and worked fine until I trade them both in. Hope this is of some help. |
As with many systems with a printed circuit board you can look it over very closely even with a magnifying glass and see if there are any cold solder joints that you can just get melted back into place, this seems to be somewhat of a problem universally from Honda main relays to Toyota headlight switches with tilt wheel and even GM wiper motor circuit boards. Give it a once over. Duane in Japan |
I believe these defective circuit boards can be diagnosed using a ohm-meter. But a man must know which circuit to check and what the value should be.. Over ten years ago I had a Sony TV with cold solder joint problems. |
- Posted by gooseberry_guy (My Page) on Sat, Aug 6, 05 at 16:57
Since these defective pulse board problems seem to all be intermittent problems, they are hard to diagnose individually. There must be a known location or part on the board that is causing this problem, since they all do the same thing, with no major difference between the symptoms. Troubleshooting without a schematic is not easy. I've had the motor out and tried different fixes to find the problem more than a few times, checking voltage at the terminals from the switch, making sure all contacts were good. All with no luck. You could remove the motor, hook it up to run, and it would. Putting it back on the car, it would work like it should, until midway through a 300 mile run when it would rain for an hour, and the wiper would quit in mid-stroke. Stopping the car and moving the wiper arms by hand would cause the wipers to run again, and sometimes for a few weeks reliably. Putting in a new 30.00 pulse board is a lot easier and quicker than wasting more time in a search for a problem on the original board. GG |
I have to agree with you , Gooseberry. I would like to see products that are more reliable to diagnose, but not necessarily better quality.. But just $30 for that board - that is OK.. And if the dealer can diagnose, R and R within 30 minutes - that too is OK.. |

how do you replace a wiper motor pulse board and where is it located, I have a 1993 pontiac trans sport. I turn on the wipers and they will run but wont turn off or will stop in different positions. like 5 mins of this they will stop like they supose to. they run slow or fast but not in between when i have this problem. thanks for the help |

This problem has plagued GM vehicles since approx the mid 80s'. They had,and still do, thousands of recalls on the Circuit board and while it might seem the problem is solved, chances are VERY HIGH that within the first year the new circuit board will fail as well. The fix is to remove the circuit board and RE-SOLDER the cold joints. It only takes a few seconds to gain access to the board by removing the 3 Torx head screws on the wiper motor cover. After you take the cover off,you'll see the circuit board and you'll have to unplug the wiring harness to remove the board. Once you have to the board out,use a magnifying and look at the cold solder joints that are closest to where the wiring harness would be.I've seen DOZENS of these come into my shop and usually can have the problem fixed in about 20 minutes,and not because I'm some great Mechanic but simply because it is that easy to fix. GM has known about this problem for years and it amazes me that it has taken them so many years to change the design. After I had it happen to my own truck, I went into the shop one morning and after Re-soldering the board I got to thinking "what caused this in the first place". Well the first is obvious, POOR SOLDERING. But I knew that wasn't the ONLY reason for so many failures and then it occured to me that the constant pressure or weight of the Wiring harness HANGING at the connector puts unwanted stress on it and over time that constant pressure mixed with vibrations weakens the solder joints closest to the wiring harness. After seeing this I machined an Aluminum support arm to relieve the stress and BINGO, problem solved. Good luck and post back your results. |

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Lord, if I argued my case with you, you would prove to be right. Yet I must question you about matters of justice. Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why do dishonest people succeed? | 1 You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? |
2 You plant them, and they take root; they grow and bear fruit. They always speak well of you, yet they do not really care about you. | 2 You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts. |
3 But, Lord, you know me; you see what I do and how I love you. Drag these evil people away like sheep to be butchered; guard them until it is time for them to be slaughtered. | 3 Yet you know me, O LORD; you see me and test my thoughts about you. Drag them off like sheep to be butchered! Set them apart for the day of slaughter! |
4 How long will our land be dry, and the grass in every field be withered? Animals and birds are dying because of the wickedness of our people, people who say, "God doesn't see what we are doing.' " | 4 How long will the land lie parched and the grass in every field be withered? Because those who live in it are wicked, the animals and birds have perished. Moreover, the people are saying, "He will not see what happens to us." |
5 The Lord said, "Jeremiah, if you get tired racing against people, how can you race against horses? If you can't even stand up in open country, how will you manage in the jungle by the Jordan? | 5 "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? |
6 Even your relatives, members of your own family, have betrayed you; they join in the attacks against you. Do not trust them, even though they speak friendly words." | 6 Your brothers, your own family-- even they have betrayed you; they have raised a loud cry against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you. |
7 The Lord says, "I have abandoned Israel; I have rejected my chosen nation. I have given the people I love into the power of their enemies. | 7 "I will forsake my house, abandon my inheritance; I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies. |
8 My chosen people have turned against me; like a lion in the forest they have roared at me, and so I hate them. | 8 My inheritance has become to me like a lion in the forest. She roars at me; therefore I hate her. |
9 My chosen people are like a bird attacked from all sides by hawks. Call the wild animals to come and join in the feast! | 9 Has not my inheritance become to me like a speckled bird of prey that other birds of prey surround and attack? Go and gather all the wild beasts; bring them to devour. |
10 Many foreign rulers have destroyed my vineyard; they have trampled down my fields; they have turned my lovely land into a desert. | 10 Many shepherds will ruin my vineyard and trample down my field; they will turn my pleasant field into a desolate wasteland. |
11 They have made it a wasteland; it lies desolate before me. The whole land has become a desert, and no one cares. | 11 It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares. |
12 Across all the desert highlands people have come to plunder. I have sent war to destroy the entire land; no one can live in peace. | 12 Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe. |
13 My people planted wheat, but gathered weeds; they have worked hard, but got nothing for it. Because of my fierce anger their crops have failed." | 13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD's fierce anger." |
14 The Lord says, "I have something to say about Israel's neighbors who have ruined the land I gave to my people Israel. I will take those wicked people away from their countries like an uprooted plant, and I will rescue Judah from them. | 14 This is what the LORD says: "As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel, I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them. |
15 But after I have taken them away, I will have mercy on them; I will bring each nation back to its own land and to its own country. | 15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance and his own country. |
16 If with all their hearts they will accept the religion of my people and will swear, "As the Lord lives' - as they once taught my people to swear by Baal - then they will also be a part of my people and will prosper. | 16 And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, 'As surely as the LORD lives'--even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal--then they will be established among my people. |
17 But if any nation will not obey, then I will completely uproot it and destroy it. I, the Lord, have spoken." | 17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it," declares the LORD. |

Il Siciliano
We are sorry but this restaurant has closed - The Reader Comments are shown for historical purposes only
your comments review this restaurant and win a bottle of champagne
Visited Il Siciliano on Saturday 4th February. There were 19 of us, celebrating a 60th birthday. Staff made us very welcome and were attentive but not overbearing. They offered bread with olive oil and olives without any additional charge. The food was excellent and all arrived at the same time. We were in a room upstairs which we had to ourselves and could therefore take our time and enjoy ourselves without disturbing other diners. One of our party needed to leave early and requested a taxi. The restaurant tried to phone for a cab but were told that there would be a wait of 1 hour, so the owner stood outside despite the fact that it was snowing heavily at the time, and flagged down a passing taxi. We chose Il Siciliano based on the fact that it was close to the theatre and to our hotel, but I have to say we were very pleased with our choice and felt they helped to make our celebration a lovely relaxing successful occasion.
