By Intern Candice in Style on Oct 25, 2011
The creators of gothic lolita, harajuku, and ganguro are back! But, this time more laid back and adventure-y. Don't worry though, they're still plenty kawaii and filled with all the layers and patterns we know, admire, and love. Of course, I'm talking about a new trend in Japan called Yama Girls.No, no it's not a mass of leather clad Japanese girls on Yamaha motorcycles zipping around Tokyo,(though that would be awesome!), this style ditches all the bells and whistles that the others have. Gone are the ornate nails, frilled and laced skirts, and too dark tans--all traded for something a little more down to Earth. The style, which includes plenty of Navajo print, tie-dye, and this really cute thing called a hiking skirt (pictured below), is a lifestyle choice of the girlies who are living life on the edge…as in cliffs and mountains.
The mountain-trekking trend setters have quite the following with different websites, magazines, and even hotels catering to their thirst for adventure and outdoor steez. Trips to "power-spots" have caused a hiking boom, especially in gals ages 25 to 29, and hotels even offer Yama Girl weekend packages and women-only outdoor excursions!Sounds like a group of ladies I can get down with.

In this week's readers' Q&A session, Terry Duffy and Craig Donohue, chairman and chief executive of the CME Group, answer your questions. The CME is one of the largest commodities exchanges in the world, and is home to the WTI crude benchmark, making them perfectly placed to answer any questions on oil price volatility.
Below, they answer questions on the spread between WTI and Brent crude, the future direction of the oil price and whether the group willbe involved in trading European carbon emissions.
The Q&A sessions are taking a break for three weeks, but will be back in March with Francesco Starace, chief executive of Enel Green Power, in the hotseat. We will publish more details closer to the time.
But for now, over to Terry and Craig:
1) Are any changes to the terms of the WTI contract being considered, to make it less dependent on factors that are strictly local to Cushing?
We have just recently had discussions with many market participants around the world who use and trade our benchmark WTI contract. Our energy team does this on a regular basis and no one has asked us to change the structure of the contract.
What is happening right now is that the industry is making investments in the petroleum infrastructure around the Cushing delivery point to address oversupply issues by providing pipeline distribution to the Gulf Coast. That investment demonstrates the industry's strong commitment to WTI. Also, we've heard that up to an additional 20m barrels of storage is being constructed this year. Because there is such a vibrant WTI physical market – 10m bpd – the industry can make these changes in a timely manner and make adjustments in the interim as needed.
Another strength of the WTI market is transparency of fundamental market information that is available for the US at-large but its different regional markets as well. Each week, within three business days, we find out about storage levels and refinery runs and utilisation for each region of the US (from the US Department of Energy). There is nothing comparable available and this makes hedgers, traders, investors and observers in the WTI market the best informed participants and observers in the world oil market; and it makes the WTI price and forward price curve the most content-reflective prices in the world oil market.
This transparency in the WTI market is the key advantage to the contract and why it has been successful compared to other benchmark contracts, such as Brent and Dubai. Our markets, which are highly regulated, are regarded by the industry as having integrity and relevance, which is why we currently have more than 10m contracts in open interest in WTI-related products.
2) As a quant fund manager working regularly with CME energy products… I was very excited by the launch of the CMEs oil VIX products. However, months after launch, CME apparently still hasn't found any market makers for this thing. Why not? Are you going after the right partners? Have you considered compensating liquidity providers?
C Tang
Our seven-year licensing agreement with the CBOE and their volatility indexes have helped establish both our Crude Oil Volatility Index futures and options and our Gold Volatility Index futures and options. These are new contracts and we are excited to offer these as ways for customers to manage their risk around oil and gold.
The feedback we've received is extremely positive and we are actively working with other parties, including liquidity providers, to help grow this emerging asset class. These new indexes provide a direct and effective way to track volatility in a variety of benchmark asset classes by leveraging the liquidly of our electronic markets.
3) What is your estimate for change in oil versus natural gas worldwide market share over the next 10 years?
Martin Romine
We cannot predict such things in our role as the marketplace but it is extremely important that the market has reliable and unambiguous signals regarding value and future value for these and other commodities. This is why we offer futures and options for both crude oil and natural gas, as well as more customised products for each and related products. This ensures market participants can hedge any potential market risks they encounter, capitalise on any trading opportunities they see between different products, and take advantage of the many investing opportunities related to oil and natural gas.
Since our markets are transparent and regulated you should see that they react to supply and demand of the underlying commodities. We cannot predict which hedges, trades or investments they will make but can ensure that we will always be quickly responsive to their needs to do so.
4) What is the WTI forecast forward curve for next 12 months, excluding speculation?
Pablo Acevedo
Our transparency and regulated markets show a forward curve out to eight years accessible on our website. As the marketplace, we don't provide our own personal opinions on future prices, but you can see from participants the reflection of their opinions on price.
5) Does CME plan to tender for running the EU emissions trading scheme's new centralised carbon trading platform, due to come in in 2013?
Philip Stafford
If CME Group does become involved in the EU emissions trading scheme initiative, it is most likely to do so indirectly via the GreenX, in which we own a significant stake, provided it is eligible to participate. These are early times for carbon markets and the proposed regulations, and we are certainly watching the industry closely.

Fire Plus System The Fire Plus System of your FIREPLACE provides optimal, environmentally friendly burning and - combined with an effective heat exchange system - high efficiency. After loading and lighting the fuel, the first phase of the combustion process starts by proceeding to burn the gases leaving the fuel. This is the time of, "high flames". After the flames reduce, the rest of the coal burns up in the second phase of the combustion process. This process is characterized by strongly glowing embers with no or only smaller, temporary flames. Optimal and environmental friendly burning with high efficiency can only be achieved if we provide the necessary quantity of air at the appropriate places in all phases of the combustion process. Both the longer time spent in the combustion chamber by gases mixed with air and the hot combustion chamber have a positive effect on the combustion process. This effective burning can be achieved by the Fire Plus System. The primary air flow through the openings of the grate is completed by the secondary air flow through the glass front and tertiary air entering at different heights of the combustion chamber. Wood, wooden briquettes and brown coal briquettes are fuels of "high flame". At this height and later above the glowing embers secondary and tertiary air get inside in such way that mixing of the air and gases and the time that gases spend in the combustion chamber (depending on their structure) results in good burning. The excellent quality lining (chamotte, vermiculite) of the combustion chamber, provides high temperature, helping the process. After, that gases are lead through one or more dead-plates in the upper part of the stove, namely through a heat exchange system, that consist of a pipe system where heat is transmitted again. Gases finally leave the stove through the flue outlet and then enter the chimney at a temperature of 230-300°C through the connecting pipe. The remaining energy content of the gases provides the necessary feed pressure in the chimney, "motor of the stove". This is the operating principle of FIREPLACE stoves. Fireplaces are structurally not suitable for non-stop use.. Only a relatively small amount of fuel can be loaded in the combustion chamber at any time. More information about quantities of fuels loadable for one occasion is given on the attached technical data sheet. Back to the top. 2. Heating capacity The heating capacity according to DIN 18893 standard is in m3, referring to buildings that do not comply with the Heat Insulation Regulation. For buildings complying with the mentioned regulation other values are valid (DIN 18893-1). Make inquires about further details at a specialized dealer or a responsible chimney sweep. Back to the top. 3. Installation guide All national, regional and local laws, orders and regulations must be taken into consideration. This might mean that depending on the location, installation may have to be done by an expert, a specialist company and additional fire fighting measures need to be taken into consideration. Regarding this matter, ask a responsible chimney sweep or other competent expert before installing and operating the appliance. (You can also get help from DIN 18896: 2005-06 standard that contains the technical rules of installation of solid fuel stoves and the requirements of their users' instructions.) Examination of chimneys takes place according to DIN EN 13384 standard. The necessary data for examination and the safety distances from combustible and heat sensitive materials are contained in the attached technical data sheet. Attention! The necessary feed pressure for chimney examination given on the technical data sheet is the necessary minimum value at the flue outlet of the stove. This is necessary for safe operation of the stove. Practice shows that higher, sometimes too high feed pressure exists in chimneys. Such high feed pressure (more than 20 Pa) can lead to uncontrollable combustion process that can damage the appliance itself, the connecting pipe and the chimney as well. If this problem exists in your chimney, please consult a chimney sweep or a competent expert about finding a solution. In such cases, we recommend the use of a feed pressure regulator (flow control valve in the flue or providing secondary air inside the chimney). FIREPLACE stoves comply with DIN 18891 (building category 1) and DIN EN 13240 standards. These fireplaces are fitted with automatically closing doors so they can be connected to chimneys serving another stove as well, in case the chimney is suitable otherwise (excluding chimneys built and used for gas and oil heating). Fireplace stoves are freestanding fireplaces that cannot be equipped with an individual cover or be built in as a fire chamber insert/cassette. You must not make any modifications influencing the operation of the stove. Remove all packaging and supporting materials from the fire chamber and all accessories from the ash drawer and the wood case. Make sure that the lining of the fire chamber and all pieces of the dead plates are in the right place. Don't use the fireplace without these components. Take care as the packaging material can contain nails and other pointy, sharp pieces of metal. Causing danger of injury! Take special care that the nylon and other wrapping materials do not get into children's hands. They may cause suffocation! Carefully collect the packing materials mentioned above, keep them away from children and take them to the local waste disposal site. The fireplace is painted with high quality heat resistant lacquer that gains its final stability when heating up for the first time. The smell at the first heating up derives from the evaporation of the protecting lacquer in the paint. So the heated room must be carefully ventilated from time to time (every 1-2 hours). This will stop later on. Do not put anything on the fireplace before the first heating up and don't touch its surface to prevent damage of lacquering. Use protective gloves for your own protection and for the sake of intactness of lacquering. The doors of the fireplace should be kept slightly open during the first heating up so the insulation cord doesn't stick to the front of the fireplace Back to the top. 4. Pay attention to the following before and during installation In the first step, the location and the way of connection of the purchased appliance has to be chosen with consideration of the safety instructions. The chimney must be suitable for operating the fireplace. Installation and usage of fireplaces must be reported to a competent chimney sweep or another competent expert. Applying the local regulations a chimney sweep/competent expert has to issue a written authorization to use the stove. Make sure you get a record of the receipt. Examination of the chimney happens according to the local rules which are usually national or European standards. The local rules should be taken into consideration during the installation of the connecting pipe as well. These are usually national or European standards. Necessary air supply for proper burning has to be ensured. In hermetically insulated rooms a separate air inlet pipe is needed to guarantee a sufficient supply of air for the operation of the fireplace. It is also necessary in the case of rooms with forced aeration system (e.g. an extractor fan) If it is possible, a solution must be found for turning off these appliances. Some FIREPLACE stoves have an optional connection for an outside air inlet. Use of fireplace stoves in buildings with hermetic insulation and mechanical airing systems is only allowed under certain conditions. Authorization of the stove as "independent of the air in the room" and insulated air inlet from outside are among these conditions. It is important to consult a competent chimney sweep / expert regarding this matter. Choose a location for the fireplace close to the chimney to prevent the use of a long horizontal connecting pipe. The location of installation has to be flat and level. Make sure that the floor has the necessary load-bearing capacity. The weight of the appliance can be found on the attached technical data sheet. In case the load-bearing capacity of the floor is too low, usage of a plate for better load distribution might help. If the problem exists you should seek professional help. Back to the top. 5. Minimum distances from combustible or heat sensitive materials The technical data sheet and the type board on the stove contain the data referring to the stove that might differ from these standard regulations. In case of combustible floors, being sensitive to a rise in temperature, non-combustible floor protector must be used. This floor protector must reach 50 cm beyond the front (from the charcoal pan), 30 cm beyond the side (from the inner wall of the combustion chamber) of the fireplace. The floor protector can be made of metal or glass which can be chosen from the product list of FIREPLACE accessories. The given minimum safety distances from combustible or heat sensitive materials have to be kept by all means at the back, the front and sideways. 100 cm 20 cm 30 cm 20 cm 50 cm 20 cm 50 cm In case a fireplace stove can be installed without safety distances that can be found on the technical data sheet and the type board. More information about safety distances from the connecting pipe can be found at the description of connecting. Back to the top. 6. Preparing the appliance for connection Let's choose the way of connection (top or rear). Diameter of flue outlet is 150 mm. Appliances are sold equipped with a top outlet. We recommend this connection mode because of combustion technological reasons. In case you would like to connect the stove at the back (technical data sheet contains the connection height), remove the flue outlet from the top and the closing lid from the back. Put the flue at the back, and close the top outlet with the closing lid. Carefully insulate the outlets. Readjusting the flue outlet from the back to the top: Remove the flue outlet from the back and the closing lid from the top. Put the flue outlet on the top and the closing lid on the rear outlet. Cover the rear outlet with a heat protecting plate as well. Carefully insulate the outlets. In case of top connection: The height of connection can be chosen without any restriction but it cannot exceed 1 meter above the upper edge of the stove. The horizontal part of the connecting pipe must be at least 40 cm from the ceiling. Be certain that there is a hermetically closable cleaning slot at the elbow of the vertical and horizontal connecting pipes. In case of stoves with a capacity of 6kW the minimum length of the vertical connecting pipe is 50 cm. Back to the top. 7. Connecting to the chimney We recommend the use of an insert with a double wall for connecting to the chimney. The insert has to be installed into the chimney. Then you can connect the connecting pipe of the stove to it. All combustible materials have to be removed within a 20 cm radius of the insert and have to be replaced by heat resistant/non-combustible material. Install the insert carefully and insulate. If there is wallpaper it is recommended to remove from behind the stove and in case of a corner model from the side as well. For fixing the ceramic or soapstone tiles of FIREPLACE stoves with ceramic or soapstone cover, please read the appropriate section of the users' manual. (Instructions for fixing the elements of stoves with ceramic or soapstone tiles.) Installation of the connecting pipe: connect the pipe to the flue outlet of the FIREPLACE appliance. Push the fireplace stove to the chosen location with consideration of the specified safety distances and install it in such way that the connecting pipe fits into the prepared chimney insert. The safety distance from combustible or heat sensitive materials is contained in the attached technical data sheet. Attention! All connections must be exact and insulated. The connecting pipe must not reach the free surface of the chimney. Connections are recommended to be sealed with heat resistant glue. Warning, before using your new FIREPLACE for the first time, please refer to the users' manual. Back to the top. 8. Instructions for fixing the elements of stoves with ceramic or soapstone tiles Most FIREPLACE models are completely assembled and they only need to be professionally connected to the chimney. Some models are packed as a kit that needs assembling. Take into consideration the separately attached assembling guide with these models. If by any reason it becomes necessary to remove and refit the quality cover (ceramic, soapstone) of the assembled models, please contact us by phone or mail, or have it done by a professional. In both cases, we can send you an additional user's instruction manual for removing and refitting the cover. Before connecting the stove, please take off all accessories that are not attached, such as top soapstone/ceramic tile or the soapstone /ceramic tiles placed in the warming plate. This way you can prevent these parts from falling while moving the stove. Back to the top. 9. Handling guide Attention! All national, regional, local laws, orders and regulations must be kept. Therefore, depending on the location of installation, special operating conditions and restrictions can be enforced regarding the period of use and fuels used. It is important to consult a chimney sweep or other competent expert before installing and using the appliance. Back to the top. 10. Suitable fuels Use the following fuels only: Dry wooden log (beech, oak,...) Wooden briquette Brown coal briquette You can find the exact information on the technical data sheet and the type board. You can only use these specific fuels. Usage of other fuels is not allowed. Depending on your choice of the fuels listed above, be sure that you use fuels of good quality. Wooden logs reach 15-20% humidity which is the most appropriate for heating if they are stored outside for 1to 2 years (if they are covered and protected from rain). Recently cut wood has a high moisture content and burns poorly and causes soot. Apart from its very low heating value it is also a pollutant to the environment. High condensation and tar can lead to blockage in the stove and especially in the chimney. In all cases it causes deposit on the glass front and emissions that need to be avoided. Burning wood is recommended for operating the stove at its nominal capacity. Watch the heating value of the fuel you use. You can get the exact data at a fuel supplier. Load the fireplace with fuel according to heat demand. The heating value of 1 kg of dry wood is 4 - 4,5 kW/h. So you can place about 2,5 kg of wood into a stove of 8 kW capacity every hour. When burning wood, if you would like to reach a lower capacity, do not restrain the fire. Put less wood in at one time instead. Don't throw the fuel in the combustion chamber, because it can damage or break the chamotte or vermiculite tiles. Be aware that the volume of some types of wooden briquettes increases during burning. Choose the wooden briquette that has the appropriate size to the measurements of the combustion chamber and does not increase in size while burning. You can use brown coal briquette for burning at nominal capacity just as wood or wooden briquette. Apart from that, it is also excellent for keeping the embers glowing during the night (about 10 hours). In the case of brown coal briquettes, wait until the fuel is completely burned through and close the primary air regulator to keep the embers burning only after that. The types of fuels that can be used, the maximum quantities that can be loaded at one time and the description of settings for the air regulators, can be found in the attached technical chart. Back to the top. 11. Reducing emissions You can only avoid unwanted emissions by the use of the specified fuels. Put only the amount of fuel in the fireplace that is appropriate for necessary heat transmission. Burning more fuel is unnecessary and leads to unwanted emissions. Don't burn waste in the stove! The use of other fuels than the ones listed above is not allowed. You MUST NOT burn the following materials in the fireplace: Wet or treated wood, Wood-shavings, sawdust, Inner bark, bark, shavings panel, Coal dust, Waste, scrap, plastic, rubble Paper and cardboard (apart from lighting the fire) Back to the top. 12. Lighting the fire for the first time Follow the directions below when you light the fire for the first time. High burning temperature is necessary for the fuel to catch fire quickly, so put enough fire-starter on the grate at the lower part of the combustion chamber. Put 2 or 3 smaller pieces of wood or a similar quantity of wooden briquettes, or 3 to 4 pieces of brown coal briquettes on the grate. (See Picture A) After lighting the fire, shut the door leaving it ajar (only leave the door ajar, do not close it, when you light the fire for the first time, after the first time you will shut the door completely) and completely open all air regulators. After the wood or briquette has caught fire you can reduce the amount of air flowing in. (Settings of nominal capacity can be found in the technical chart.) Back to the top. 13. Further use If you have already used the stove, remove the ash from the combustion chamber before lighting another fire. Always empty the ash drawer before each use, while the unit and the ashes are cold, because a full ash drawer can obstruct air supply damage the grate After emptying the ash drawer, replace it immediately. Continue the lighting procedure according to the section "Lighting the fire for the first time". Load more fuel only if the current fuel is only glowing and flames are not visible any more. When loading more fuel, open the door of the combustion chamber slowly so that the smoke gases cannot flow out through the door. Level the glowing embers. Put the amount of fuel necessary for the desired heating capacity on the embers, leaving an inch of space between each piece. Close the door immediately after loading the fuel and keep it closed during use. Set the air regulators according to the nominal capacity, or in case of brown coal briquettes as desired after it has burned down to embers. Always maintain optimal burning! Repeat the procedure after the fuel has burned down. Never put more fuel in the stove at one time than is specified. (See Technical data sheet) Only one portion of fuel can be burned at the same time. Load more fuel, only the fuel in the unit already, has burned down. Always check that there are not too many glowing embers piling up in the combustion chamber. Do not restrain the fire, load less fuel instead, and never close the primary air regulator completely. Your stove is equipped with an automatically closing door. It can be operated only with a closed door. Open the door only if you want to load more fuel and only if the previous amount has burned down to embers. Remember that the stove heats up during use. Keep children and disabled people away from the appliance while operating. Maintain the settings of the air that is necessary for the burning capacity of the stove and keep in mind that the settings of the air depend considerably on the actual chimney draught. Set the amount of air according to your experience. Bad air settings can lead to blackening of the glass front or damage to the appliance, the connecting pipe and the chimney. The lining of the combustion chamber (chamotte or vermiculite) can turn black when you light the fire. This blackening disappears when the stove reaches its operating temperature. Always empty the ash drawer before each use, while the unit and the ashes are cold, because a full ash drawer can obstruct air supply damage the grate After emptying the ash drawer, replace it immediately. Always store the ash in a fire-proof container. Do not put the container close to combustible materials or place it on a combustible surface. Use a protective plate if necessary. Pour the ash into a waste receptacle only after you make sure that it has completely cooled down. The condition of proper operation of the fireplace is the appropriate chimney draught (feed pressure). This is considerably dependent on the temperature of the outer environment. In case of a higher outer temperature (above 15°C) feed pressure can considerably fall and it can disturb proper operation. Do not use the appliance in such cases. Attention! Combustible remains are deposited in the appliance, the connecting pipe and the chimney during use. This happens increasingly if you use wet or treated wood or fuel that is not allowed. The possible overload of the stove or restrain of the fire can contribute to this also. It is rare that the deposits catch fire due to the lack of regular cleaning. However, this can be noticed from the black smoke flowing out of the chimney, the rise of the temperature of the chimney wall and the increased draught that can result in a whistling sound. In case of such a fire in the chimney, call the fire-fighters and close all air regulators and outlets. Inform the chimney sweep. Do not spray or pour water in the chimney in any case because it can lead to gas explosion. Remove all combustible, heat sensitive materials from the environment of the chimney, even in the attic. Back to the top. 14. Trouble Shooting The condition of proper operation of the fireplace is the appropriate chimney draught (feed pressure). This is considerably dependent on the temperature of the outer environment. In case of higher outer temperature (above 15oC) feed pressure can considerably fall and it can disturb proper operation. What can you do? Open the primary air regulator a bit more, and fully open the secondary air regulator. Use only a small amount of fuel at first. Use only a small amount of fuel when reloading. Shake off the ash more often. Do not restrain the fire. Burn through the brown coal briquettes very well and close the primary air regulator for keeping embers glowing only after that. As a last resort, do not use the stove in a transition period. What are the causes? ...there is no proper draught at heating up? Chimney or stove pipe is not closed properly. Measurements of the chimney are not appropriate. The door of the stove/supplementary air regulator or the door of another stove connected to the same chimney is open. ...the space is not heating up? Is the appliance disproportionately small? Is there too much ash in the combustion chamber? Is the smoke outlet blocked? Is the air regulator closed? ...the fireplace gives off too much heat? Is the air regulator opened too far? Is the chimney draught (feed pressure) too high? Did you load too much fuel at once? ...there is scarification, the grate is damaged? The fireplace has been overloaded. You didn't empty the ash drawer in time. Chimney draught (feed pressure) is too high. Back to the top. 15. Special notes Your guarantee expires immediately in case of extreme or long-lasting overload above nominal capacity or the use of fuel not specified. Always keep the ash in a fire-proof container. Do not put the container close to combustible materials or place it on a combustible surface. Use a protective plate if necessary. Pour the ash into a waste receptacle only after you make sure that it has completely cooled down. Caution! Surfaces are hot. When you operate the appliance wear gloves and use the operating handles of the stove. The glass is hot. Keep children away. Never use spirits, petrol or any other flammable and explosive substance for lighting the fire. Don't place combustible objects inside the radiation area of the fireplace, within 100 cm from the door of the combustion chamber. Follow the instructions in the section entitled "Minimum safety distances". Back to the top. 16.

I will qualify my question with the fact that, yes, I am a UT newbie. I have been playing Q2 for quite a while, and loved the aliases and such that I could use for team talks, weapon selections etc. Is there any such convention in UT? I want to get my configuration all pimped up!
30th Nov 1999, 01:42 PM | #2 |
Got to the in game console (tilde key (~) and type "preferences". This will get you into advanced options. Thats where you can set the key bindings and aliases.

does it have to be done in the game - or is it possible to open up the config file and alter it in wordpad? And are there any resources for customizing configurations?
30th Nov 1999, 04:44 PM | #4 |
Edit the User.ini file found in the UT\system folder. You'll have to surf to find config info. Don't expect to find a wealth of info like there is for QuakeII. Most good players keep their configs to themselves.

You can use the speech binder (Options | Preferences | Input tab) to bind taunts and team commands to keys.
The key bindings and aliases can't be quite as complex as in Q2. And there is no wait command, but this prevents people from being able to automate things like the combo, which would be considered a cheat of sorts. |

Here are some aliases i grabbed in the gt-forum:
I' ve binded space to this alias: Getweapon translocator | onrelease altfire | onrelease switchtobestweapon All you have to do is hit space and hold, fire the TL disk where you want it (if you haven't allready placed it somewhere) and release space. Gives me super-fast teleports and I'm ready to fire right afterwards. The best alias for Hammerjumping would be: Getweapon Impacthammer | onrelease fire | onrelease jump | onrelease switchtobestweapon Bind that alias to a key, hold down that key, look down on the floor (by yourself) and release the key and you will hammerjump backwards. Afterwards you will switch to your best weapon (previous weapon isn't possible). Kudos to the suplier! (don't remember) but there is so spare info about aliases that i'm happy about each tip.

Follow-Up Postings:
You should have a least 3 to 4 feet of aisle space between each side of the island. However if you just do not have this much space, then you should consider using a small rolling cart instead. Looks as if you have that space . I did a small island in my current kitchen it has 4 ft on each side holds all my baking stuff and I love it . Adds so much to the kitchen in looks also . I know a lot of builders will do small ones it used to be if it was not a big one they would not do it. That has for sure changed from model homes I go in around here. Also your island might not be small I can not tell so bad with sizes :) But I say if you the required footage to do it go for it. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 17:56
Not only is it too small, you can't even stand at the sink and load and unload the DW. Or open the fridge door. And you'll be prepping right on top of the DW, which means that no one can help to load the dirties while you are chopping for the stirfry. It's a bad layout overall, not just the impossible island (that would also be in the way and you'd have to dance around.). |
Mostly, it is in the way. I'd be bumping my hip every time I went from sink to fridge or sink to stove, or stove to fridge. It is just plain in the way. |
was looking for comments on the island. thanks |
I think what the pros like lwo are telling you is that although you can fit an island in that particular layout, it will be very small (cart sized) and there will be a number of issues. A larger island might fit, but in a dramatically different and more functional layout. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 22:20
No, the island doesn't work. But neither does the rest of the kitchen. The whole thing needs to be redesigned. |
It somehow lacks pleasing proportions, in that the island is not assisting workflow or traffic. A more square sized island, about the same "footprint" of the range, would seem more proportional to me. As it appears that the raised counter on the upper tier of the sink outside the kitchen proper is where your counter stool seating would be. So I am assuming an island would be to offer prep space, not seating. If that is the case, then a nice John Boos chopping block would do nicely. I would add, (though this is not what you asked) that I agree with LWO that the overall layout is one that IMHO could be much improved upon. |
- Posted by robotropolis (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 22:44
With 42" walkways (a bit tight) and assuming your fridge is counter depth, you can squeeze a 2 foot by 3 foot island with no seating. Personal opinion, when they're that small I prefer the look of a cart or table as with fixed cabinetry I find it looks too small and dinky. This size is a bit under the minimum recommended working size for an island of about 4 x 2.5. Of more concern is that corner sink with the dishwasher right beside. Pretend the dishwasher door is open: you now can't stand at the sink and load the dishwasher. The fixes are to get sink out of corner or to put a small cabinet in between sink and dishwasher (e.g. 15 inch drawer bank). Is that bar seating all around the outside of the sink area? Would you consider making the sink area more triangular to get the dishwasher on the same plane as the sink? |
Here is a link that might be useful: 31 kitchen design rules illustrated
My island is about the size of a small chest of drawers. That is what it is too, one long more shallow draw at top where I keep all my measuring cups , measuring spoons , garlic press etc. Then two deeper draws that I keep strainers in and pie plates , cake pans , spring form pan . I love it I use it all the time to roll out pizza on , do pie dough , make rolled cookies. I serve on it during holidays. For me in my kitchen it works great. |
ok what else needs to bee changed? |
what do you man by triangle sink. and why do yall say you can't open the fridge. the island is 45 inches. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Thu, Feb 28, 13 at 10:00
Bear in mind the limitations of the cut and paste here, but this separates your zones much better and gives you room for a nice prep zone that interacts with the social zone. Now your refrigerator and your DW can both open, and neither interferes with someone making dinner. A second person can be tossing the used prep utensils into the DW while the first finishes off dinner. |
Your plan is spacious and open, but that can make a cook's job more difficult. I am going to try to explain some of the concerns I would have with your kitchen plan. I know this is a bit long, but bear with me. Kitchen planning is easier if one divides kitchen chores into Here are a few issues that occur to me regarding your plan: Preparation: Most people choose to prep between the sink and the range. There are also frequent trips to the fridge. One could prep at the island, but would have to walk around the island to get to at least one of the big three: sink, fridge, range. Cooking: Cleanup: Most people prefer that the cleanup sink be least visible from public areas, since it is where pots and pans and dishes pile up in an unsightly way during cooking. In your plan, if the dishwasher is open, a person standing at the sink is forced into a narrow triangle and access is either blocked or difficult to parts of the kitchen. Also, it doesn't look as if most storage for dishes, pots and pans, and glassware will be very close to the sink and dishwasher. And finally, it appears that your cleanup sink is in the most public area of the kitchen. It is best to open a dishwasher and be able to put away frequently used dishes and tableware without moving more than a foot or so. Are there cabinets near the dishwasher that allow this? I know you asked only if you had room for an island. My personal answer is probably you do. But there are so many more issues in this plan that can be corrected, making for kitchen that will be immensely more functional and pleasant for your family. In summary: Please let us know which architectural elements (walls, openings, windows) may possibly be changed. People here are usually willing to put a surprising amount of time in helping others. |

The balls are back in town! Jiggle Balls: Spikes! is a new game by the makers of Jiggle Balls. You control SPIKEY the big purple ball. Your goal? Smash the JIGGLE BALLS before time expires. Your weapon of choice? GRAVITY!
Rotate your iPhone or iPod Touch to control the direction of the balls. Pin them in a corner and squash 'em!
But there are obstacles that are bent on making your job more difficult — BLOCKERS, FADERS, and SLIDERS. Blockers look a lot like Spikey and get in your way. Faders come and go. They can work to your advantage, as a shortcut, but they may also drop the balls out of sight as you approach. Sliders move with the gravity too. You will have to be fast to navigate around them.
30 levels of unique puzzles and obstacles. Continue from the last level completed or retry any level. Start with EASY mode and once you've mastered that, challenge your friends to HARD mode and see how far they can get?
Game Center support. High Score Boards and Achievements. Compete with your friends, neighbors, or the whole planet! See where you rank?!
More levels and obstacle types coming very soon!

Congratulations, Deb! There is nothing like the feeling of seeing what we started from seed bloom! Enjoy them.. and be proud! I gave up on columbines on account of leafminers. Will try them again in my next garden! What's looking pretty? other perennials: oriental poppies, irises, blue flax, geranium (several varieties), salvias (several varieties), oxalis, some campanula, some alliums --starting: sweet william, several penstemons, spiderwort, heuchera and kalmia (a lovely shrub). Soon.. my blue butterfly delphiniums. Love them all! As for shasta daisies.. they can tease you, Deb.. buds do take their time to open. This is what I remember from last year, anyway. Looking forward to meeting you at the exchange, |

Hi Deb! We've got bearded iris, columbine, herbaceous peonies, delphinium (at least 6 ft tall!), baptisia, poppies, & clematis (Dr. Ruppel, Ramona, & Belle of Woking). There are some early blooms on the potted roses as well. The white siberian irises are coming soon... |
Congrats on your columbines! In bloom now, I have Tiarella, various columbines, Atlas poppies, Baptisia, Iris (bearded, siberians, and blue flag), Dianthus (deltoides and gratianopolitanus), Corydalis, Ajuga, Primula (just finishing), Clematis, Heuchera, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Blue-eyed Grass, Alchemilla, Nepeta, various Geraniums, Salvias, Scabiosa, and Chrysoganum.

I've got beareded iris, blue-eyed grass, thrift, peonies, roses, columbine, rhododendron, tiarella, icelandic poppies, jack-in-the-pulpit, lily of the valley, heucherella, coral bells, coreopsis, clematis, geraniums, knautia, dianthus, primrose, japanese primrose, bleeding heart, peony tree, may apple, english daisies, dame's rocket, sweet william, lupine, and sweet woodruff. But with this heat, things are fading really fast. |
Not a whole lot is blooming in my yard yet but I do have columbine, dames rocket, lupines, coral bells, bleeding hearts, coral honeysuckle, jacob's ladder and my hellebores which has been blooming for a month. Still waiting on sweet william, daisies, salvias and many many more. Penny |
An Elsa Spaeth& Nelly Moser clematis, several Iris, one with white and bright yellow trim, apricot rebloomers, deep purple, peonies just ready to pop next to goatsbeard, stella dora daylily, columbine, rugosa rose, texas daisy, geramiums, flowering chive, and forget-me-nots still going. |
And seeing everyone else's listings, I realize I forgot to list Jacob's Ladder, chive, coral honeysuckle, Japanese Anenome, Canada Anenome, siberian bugloss, globeflower, goldenstar, and (doh!) forget-me-nots. |

I have so much in bloom right now!! Several Iris varieties, Columbine, lilacs, baptisia, clematis, geum (from Anne Marie), hydrangea, phlox, verbascum, hardy geranium, and a few others that are escaping me at the moment! :) Here are a few of the flowers I have in bloom right now... Tara |
I've got a good amount of bloom, in spite of the lack of rain in May. So far: peony 'Sarah Bernhardt' I've got some things on the verge of blooming - the storm today dumped some good rain, and didn't blow over too much, so I'll be seeing knautia and scabiosa in a day or two, and my first clematis any time, and a few more peonies. I'm glad the plants appreciate the hothouse effect - my husband and I put in the a/c this weekend, much to my great relief. . . . Laurelin |
I've got primrose, oriental poppies, columbine, dame's rocket, foxglove, five spot, johnnie jump-ups(I know most people think they are weeds but they make me happy) and some shasta daisy (which I dug out, they remind me of weeds!) |
Despite the lack of rain and the awful winds that went through here, I have a bunch of perennials blooming happily. one lonely peony Some of my daylilies look like they're going to open in a week or so. Can't wait!! Tracy |

Wow, being in zone 4, my garden is late in blooming compared to all of yours! It is truly amazing how one zone can make such a big difference. My best friend, lnmp, lives in zone 5, although she's only 45 minutes south of me, and her plants are weeks and weeks ahead of mine growth-wise. Although we have many of the same plants, hers are big and in bloom, while mine are small and maybe have just a hint of some buds developing. Right, lnmp?? ...but I DO have forget-me-nots, dianthus, flax, lilies of the valley, and painted daisies in bloom and I am thrilled with the contrast between the blues and pinks. My hostas are also getting really big ~ and that's after having survived all winter in the original garbage bags I put the hostas in when I dug them up from someone I worked with. She hated them ~ I didn't! Late October was definitely too late to plant them, so I tucked the six garbage bags next to the garage and covered them in piles and piles of leaves for protection. I then hoped for the best. To my great surprise, all 6 of them survived and are now 2 feet high. I never expected them to survive, let alone thrive. Go figure! LOL I have lots of growth on some other perennials, and buds on some others, but now I just have to be patient and wait. A good portion of my garden blooms after July... adkmountaingirl |
Hi Gang, Most of the plants I have blooming right now have already been mentioned like irises (siberian and bearded), painted daisies, bluets, blue flax, vinca, catmint, columbine, johnny jump ups, fern leaf bleeding heart, geranium sanguineum, geranium 'Samobor', chives, blue eyed grass, coral bells, soapwort, sweet woodruff, centaurea montana, spiderwort and lamium. I also have some natives blooming like solomon's seal, mayapple and celandine. There is also a few newcomers blooming like purple mullein (verbascum phoeniceum) and lavender mountain lily (Ixiolirion tataricum). I have already decided that they are keepers. Here are some pics of my newcomers for you to check out: Pretty neat, huh? -starmoon |
- Posted by fairydancer z5 NY (My Page) on Wed, Jun 8, 05 at 6:00
Oh my goodness.....that lily is simply stunning Starmoon! I would say that is definitely a keeper! A few of my indoor sown annuals are starting now....I've got some angel wings, 5 spot, chamomile and petunia blooms. My lupines are starting and I've got some lunaria blooms....boy are they tiny little suckers! My astilbe, daylilies and achillea have buds now too. Oh and my winter sown lavender alyssum has the teeniest little blooms. I hope these spread and get bigger....they are such a pretty color. It sure is exciting seeing the garden come to life! ~Deb |
Add to my list my perennial bachelor button and hyperion daylilies (at least, that's what I think they are!). Starmoon: That lily is amazing. Love that color! |
- Posted by flowerlady411 z5NY (My Page) on Wed, Jun 8, 05 at 14:04
Bearded iris (yellow ones are phenomenal this year), lupines, cheddar pinks, mountain bluet, sweet williams (just beginning), some sedums just beginning to bud, bleeding hearts, violas, lily of the valley,columbine, lady's mantle is budding and some flanders field poppies. For a while I had nothing but purple in bloom. I started some seeds really late because it seemed to rain everytime I had a day off. Also, I'm still adding mulch and filling in holes with annuals. I went to our public market in Rochester this past weekend and found buddleia with the 3/$5 pots and a white bleeding heart, plus a 4" pot of delphinium 'giant blue' and Oriental poppy 'Allegro.' |
- Posted by Waplummer Z5 NY (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Jun 11, 05 at 22:40
Aquilegia, rhododendron, kalmia, Corydalis, dicentra, Chrysogonum, Geranium, Stylophorum, meconopsis, Ranunculus, Campanula, Sedum, Panax, Peony, Calycanthus, Digitalis, and probably a dozen more. |
My pride and joy is the baptisia that bloomed for the first time this year! I planted it in 2003, and I have to say, it was well worth the wait! Other perennials in bloom around my property right now: a low-growing Phlox, Dianthus, Wild Blue Lupine, Iris, gorgeous purple and white Spiderwort, Columbine, Sweet William, Salvia 'Blue Queen,' and the unidentified daisies that mysteriously made their appearance in my lawn a few years ago. Many other perennials are almost ready to bloom. Hope we'll get a good rain in the next few days! |
Right now, I have delphiniums, shasta daisy, peonies, marigolds, vinca and coreopsis blooming. My short zinnias and snaps are starting to break open too. Also, sonata cosmos is just beginning to bloom. Many of my perennials are new this year, which I started from seed, so they may not bloom until next year. |

Happy Hot Summer! My Crape Myrtles are all in full bloom-glorious to behold! :) Also Yellow and pink roses and balloon flowers and pentas and golden yellow daylilies and of course, my favs-the butterfly bushes! The Chaste trees are all decked out as well as the Desert Willows! The hardy Hibiscus are just starting to pop out in huge, bright reds and pinks! The bee balm, veronicas and salvias in their cool shades of blue are mixed in as well. And last but definitely not least, my Texas bluebells are delightful to behold! And the Lord looked at all He created and said "It is good."! Take time to smell the roses and enjoy the Lord's good works. |

Detroit's phoenix will rise, but from which of its car companies?
It would be easy; to just go with Ford. To say: They didn't take the money. They've got the upper hand, the momentum. Market share is growing; share prices are rising. They've got Mulally and the others don't. And, by the way, nyah-nyah
That's what America has been saying for months; why, even my old aunties in New Orleans and Phoenix know that Ford didn't take the money: "So, Ford is doing great, right?" They make the same leap of faith as most people, who still think the B-word is a bad thing, at least when it comes to one's personal finances.
Ah, but the B-word has been bery, bery good to Chrysler and General Motors, buying them time and a benevolent Big Brother to help them do what Mulally did at Ford all by his lonesome. Chrysler showed GM how it could be done, presenting its own salvation, in the form of Fiat, to the government. General Motors (which really does need to lose its toxic name, now that disposed dealers, debt, and all things bad are attached to it) needed a kick start, with the unfortunate Rick Wagoner at the end of President Obama's shoe. But the General has probably shocked even itself with how fast it slapped the crap out of its corporate culture and stood upright from the ooze.
So. Game on.
Fiat has the cars Chrysler needs. It has the funky 500, now in cabrio and hot-rod Abarth trim, which need only modified doors and bumpers to meet U.S. regulations. They have multiple cool Alfa Romeos, the next generation of which will arrive by 2011. And engines. Boy, have they got engines, and I'm not talking about Ferrari V-8s here. There are a number of mainstream, highly advanced, fuel-efficient, clean, four-cylinder engines that promise to blow away any four-banger efforts from Chrysler or Mitsubishi to date.
But Chrysler is not without its own charms. Last fall, before The Troubles, we said that any potential suitor for Chrysler who might be wringing their hands in despair about the company's market share and balance sheet need only tour the design studio, where the flame was burning brightly, to see a light in the darkness. Executive editor Joe DeMatio was gaga when he saw the next-generation Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger: "No automaker in the world has come close to designing a mainstream, full-size sedan as beautiful, as stunning, as gorgeous as these two cars," he reported. "It is unfathomable to me that these would not be brought to market."
It wouldn't be surprising to find that these two stunners had some role in Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne's recent comment that Chrysler's contribution of mid-size and large car expertise was totally underestimated.
Now, then. If anyone thought it pitiful that the new GM couldn't come up with someone younger than Bob Lutz - who's seventy-seven - to run marketing, advertising, brands, and communications, the laugh's on them. His choice of forty-year-old designer Bryan Nesbitt to run Cadillac is GM's all-time shocker. The Art Center grad is known as much for his partying ways as for his immense talent and influence at Chevrolet; on everything coming out of GM Europe, where he ran design for three years; and for his recent stint running North America design. This announcement burned up international phone lines among the notoriously cross-pollinated design community.
I called Ford's advanced design guru, Freeman Thomas, and broke the news. "That's like Walt Disney running Walt Disney!" he exclaimed.
Just what cagey Lutz had in mind.
"Bryan was selected because we need 'natural' marketing people in these jobs," Lutz told me. "People with intuition, flair, and an innate affinity with, and respect for, the customer. Bryan is exceptional in these areas. He is also a natural leader and a brilliant communicator, one of the rare designers who can make the transition into general management."
Ford, for its part, has amassed an impressive collection of design superstars, and they've had a head start, thanks to Mulally's brilliant leadership. But the race is far from won.
Let the business press focus on balance sheets and bottom lines. To us, the game is now most assuredly design. We care about the cars, and anyone in Detroit is capable of delivering the next smash hit. You need only look back at what's transpired in less than one year to know that anything can happen.
Game on, indeed.

The UK's fastest-growing regional news network
See the full forecast for your area.
Sponsored by Britelite.
Dover Athletic manager Chris Kinnear will use a 'spying report' from an unlikely source as he prepares for Saturday's clash with play-off rivals Bath City at Crabble.
Kinnear revealed after Tuesday's 2-0 Skrill South home win over Maidenhead that club chairman Jim Parmenter had given him a report on the Somerset side's 3-1 home victory over Whitehawk last weekend.
He said: "After our game at Weston-super-Mare was called off, Jim, who had taken his wife down to Bath for the weekend, went to watch their game with Whitehawk and he produced a decent report for me.
"Because we have worked together for a long time, we probably have got a different relationship than most chairmen and managers and it was nice of him to do that.
"But if we win 4-0 on Saturday, he'll be able to say it was all down to him!"
And Kinnear revealed that Mr Parmenter had also played a key role in Tuesday's welcome home win, saying: "The chairman went out and bought a new blotter machine (which can quickly remove large amounts of standing water) and was out there using it on the pitch before the game.
"It was unbelievable how firm the pitch was. It was the best surface we've played on here for some time."
With more rain expected this week, the machine could well come in handy again to help ensure that Saturday's game goes ahead against a Bath side who the Whites have beaten twice this season, including a 1-0 home win in the FA Trophy in November when Nathan Elder was on target.
The striker is available again this weekend after completing a three-match ban but, with Jeff Goulding continuing to make an impact at Crabble, Elder seems likely to have to settle for a place on the substitutes' bench.
