Margaret Culkin Banning
From MN150
Winning Nomination
Margaret Culkin Banning was a prolific Minnesota author publishing 36 books spanning 59 years. Her novels and 400 short stories and essays documented the moods and manners of American women in 20th-century America. Banning was born in Buffalo, Minnesota, moving to Duluth, which her father represented in the Minnesota Senate, early in her life. Her education, marriage, motherhood, divorce, World War II service (in British Information), remarriage, political leadership (she participated in two National Republican Conventions), and active civic and social life, uniquely qualified Banning to comment on the changing role of women in society. She did not shy away from the important and controversial issues of her day, from juvenile delinquency to birth control. I would like to nominate Margaret Culkin Banning as one of the finest and most influential Minnesota writers, and a representative of writers who largely made their living selling articles to the popular women's magazines of their day.
History(1891-1982) A Minnesota author stays close to her roots She published her first book in 1920 and her last nearly sixty years later. She wrote 30 books and more than 400 essays and short stories, raised four children (for many years as a single mother), was a delegate to one Republican National Convention and an alternate to another, and was a sought-after speaker on women's rights and other social issues. She was a member of the British Information Service during World War II and worked in refugee and displaced persons camps in Austria and Germany after the war. So why, unlike her near-contemporaries F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis, is Margaret Culkin Banning not better known today? "Minnesota has always been my home base as well as my birthplace," wrote Banning in 1960. "Native Minnesotans often refer to themselves as Minnesota Gophers, and I am one of that band." Banning moved away from Minnesota at intervals during her life-to attend Vassar College, from which she graduated in 1912; to live in England with her first husband; to attend to duties during World War II. But she always returned home, writing books steeped in the local color she had observed closely since childhood. "It would be easy to conclude that forgotten novelists are the real regionalists (and that regionalism is a polite term for failure or provincialism)," writes historian Karal Ann Marling. But that's hardly the case with Banning. She was a best-selling author whose work is ripe for rediscovery. "The machinery of the Club begins to move. The first motor rolls up for the hour is almost seven thirty and the dinner is to be served at a quarter before eight. Comments fill the air, little cries of admiration, questions. The first powder is spilled on the glass covered dressing tables in the ladies' retiring room. There seeps through the smoking room the odor of the first cigarette. . . . Everyone is here, the ones who are confident of place in the social hierarchy as well as those who are not. It is strangely at once the field for the exercise of snobbery and a rather fair tryout for those who are socially on the make."

Are There Spiders With Wings?
What if black widow spiders and brown recluse spiders had wings and could fly and migrate to places?
I dont know why i thought of this but..i was watching this nature show and suddenly thought, "What if those spiders could fly?" What would i do? What would you do? Imagine Spider Hives? YUCK!
Fascinating concept. Truth is, spiders DO fly to migrate to other places.(some species)
A process called 'ballooning' , spiders can pull enough web in a breeze for them to take flight.
Garden spiders are the most noted for this, shortly after hatching ,they disperse to other places to make homes for themselves, and yes, even the black widow has been known to do this.
Although they are limited to regions, they can still travel great distances dangling from an airborne web.
Spiders web question?
Can a spider walk on another spiders web or does he get stuck also and eaten by the other spider. Do Spiders eat Spiders...??
Yes, spiders can move on other spider species' webs. They may have to be a little careful about it,
and not all spiders can necessarily do it, but it is
possible. Sudden breezes that move the web may
cause them to become entangled. In fact a spider
may be stuck in its own web if something happens
to move it or the web in the wrong way.
Many spiders do eat other spiders. Two families
of spiders are specialists that rarely eat anything
except other spiders. However, the story about
black widow spiders eating their mates is a myth.
It probably occasionally happens, as it may in any other kind of spider, but it is not usual. I know a
person who raised black widows for his research,
and he said he had seen 500 matings and never
saw the female eat the male.
spider bite?
i live in malaysia,and may i know if there is any poisonuos spider in malaysia??im really scared of them!!!! it so deadly
Yes, here are poisonous spiders in Malaysia. There is one that lives in the rain forest of malaysia that can spit poison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider
This is another website that has all the types of spiders in Malaysia, http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/8983/spiders/spiders.html it should help you to see what types of spiders and if the spiders are poisonous and where the spiders like to hide and live so you can know where to look for them in your case though it would be that those places that the spiders can be found, you should stay away from. I don't like spiders and I am scared of them too.
how doi get over my phobia of spiders?
First, look at pictures of spiders that are far away. Then, after that isn't scary anymore, look at pictures of spiders that are closer up, then even closer up. Then move onto videos of spiders far away, then spiders closer up. Then, when the videos aren't scary, move onto real spiders -- small ones -- far away. Then move it closer, etc.
Ick I hate spiders too and I've never had enough motivation to actually go through this desensitization process, but I've heard that it does work.
Identifying spiders in my house in Ohio?
I live in Ohio, and I keep seeing a bunch of similar spiders in my house. There are some wolf spiders, but there are also spiders that are darker than that and just as hairy. They look gray-ish black, and besides that, they look like a wolf spider. Do you know what type of spider that is? Thanks
Wolf spiders are not a prone to enter homes than many other species. typically, they are also significantly larger than than common spiders found indoors.
Even the black house spider may resemble a wolf spider,short of size.
Your description is too vague to ID your spiders to species,but are likely common house spiders.

My research interests center on community and ecosystem ecology in aquatic systems. My primary areas of focus are: invertebrate-fish predator-prey interactions, organism habitat modification (ecosystem engineering), spatial-scale of effects, and introduced-species effects. I address research questions using multi-trophic level and multi-taxa approaches. I use a variety of tools (e.g. behavioral observation and physiology) to understand how organisms process and transfer energy and organic material from their environment and across trophic levels. I use field and laboratory experiments to test specific hypotheses, field sampling to explore natural patterns, and long-term data analysis to understand system trajectory. Most of my current research focuses on benthic (bottom) lake communities and their function. Benthic processes are increasingly important to ecosystem function due to anthropogenic effects on lakes. |

I have two F&E hydrangeas that were planted three years ago. The plants have always been healthy, but very slow growing and did not bloom after the first year. They are planted in an area that gets almost full sun. The soil is pretty heavy, but I amended it when I planted them.
This past week, I have noticed that the leaves are yellow with green veins. From doing a little research I see that this can be due to an iron deficiency. I also saw that heavy soils or sometimes too alkaline soil can cause this. I have not had my soil tested. I do have some azaleas in another bed that are suffering from the same thing. I have many other hydrangeas in the same bed as the hydrangeas with the leaf issue that do not have the yellowing, but it is a very large bed. Almost all the hydrangeas (about 20) in this bed are slow growing actually. With the information provided, do you think it could be an iron deficiency or that I could do any harm in treating it as such if I'm not 100% sure? I am seriously considering digging up the poorest growers and reamending the soil to see if that helps with their growth. (Sorry, I am going on a tangent and talking about two different issues now) Any thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If the leaves are starting to resemble the example on the link below, you should treat it as a case of iron chlorosis. http://weblogs.dailypress.com/features/gardening/diggin-in/2010/06/bigleaf_hydrangea_is_susceptib.html You can amend the soil with any of the following: iron-chelated liquid compounds sold at many nurseries, garden Sulphur, green sand and iron sulfate. You can also amend with aluminum sulfate but only on the hydrangeas because aluminum sulfate is toxic to azaleas and rhododendrons. Apply in the amounts recommended and as often as recommended. The liquids correct the problem faster but it may still take 2 weeks or more. You can apply the liquids with your regular waterings if you water manually. Tap water can also be alkaline so try using rain water if you collect rain in tanks. I amend my alkaline soil in Spring and again in July-ish. Luis |
Thanks, Luis! Yes, I think my leaves do resemble the picture you linked. I just looked at my others and they are looking the same. The only ones that aren't turning yellow are my Incrediballs and the hydrangeas that I've treated with acid in the past (which are also bigger, BTW). Do you think the alkaline soil is the cause of my other F&E's being slow growers? Hydrangea with yellowing leaves: A hydrangea that has been treated in the past with acid and that is growing: |

In 1974 the British progressive rock group Genesis released their double concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The story was described by Genesis's then front-man Peter Gabriel as a 'moral fable' about Rael, a half-Puerto-Rican New York City street tough who is engulfed by a solid cloud into a series of strange adventures in a metaphysical realm. The album is a surreal allegory drawing its material from religious, literary and psychological themes. More than thirty years after its release, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway still enthralls listeners, earning the distinction of being Genesis's most consistently selling back-catalogue release. Kevin Holm-Hudson analyses The Lamb within the context of Genesis's recorded output, within the progressive rock genre as a whole, and within the context of social and political changes of the mid 1970s. The Lamb marked a conscious shift in their story setting to America, and for the first time the songs were oriented to the present rather than the past or future. Significantly, while 1974 marked the peak of music industry growth and consolidation through corporate mergers, it was also the year in which America was confronted with its limits: through the first of the OPEC energy crises, the resignation of Richard Nixon, the withdrawal from Vietnam, and the effects of runaway inflation. Genesis's native Britain was also to feel the effects of the energy crisis, intensified by a period of economic slowdown that ultimately led to the rise of Thatcherism. The Lamb is set in New York City during this time of uncertainty. Within a few years the economic constraints would affect the industry as a whole and as a result progressive rock would suffer a precipitous drop in industry support. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway thus makes a particularly rich subject for detailed study, providing compelling intersections between the musical, textual and socioeconomic aspects of an album.
Contents: Introduction:'This is the story of Rael'; 'It's the last great adventure left to mankind': situating The Lamb: 'There's something solid forming in the air': recording The Lamb; 'Counting out time': The Lamb, song by song; 'The Lamb seems right out of place': in the press and on tour; 'it': interpreting The Lamb; 'And the light dies down on Broadway': Genesis and Gabriel after The Lamb and The Lamb after Genesis; Appendix: 'Once again the stage is set for you': The Lamb tour itinerary; Bibliography: 'searching printed word'; Index.
About the Author: Dr Kevin Holm-Hudson, Associate Professor of Theory, School of Music, University of Kentucky, USA.
Reviews: 'With Genesis and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Kevin Holm-Hudson makes a significant contribution to progressive rock scholarship. His discussion of the progressive rock concert as theater is valuable and overdue, and his examination of The Lamb Lies Down in Broadway in the context of the cultural and economic currents of the 1970s is illuminating. His Jungian reading of the album's mythic storyline offers plausible interpretations of some of its more obscure episodes, and his discussion of its religious symbolism, its allusions to American pop culture, and its use of unifying musical elements is similarly enlightening. This is a book that no Peter Gabriel-era Genesis fan will want to be without.'Edward Macan, Author, Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture and Endless Enigma: A Musical Biography of Emerson, Lake and Palmer'Genesis And The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is a scholarly publication [and] is therefore a more demanding read than [other] book[s]. If you take up the challenge you will discover many new aspects about Genesis' concept album and perhaps see some songs and lyrics in a different light. Perhaps the biggest attraction of this musical gem is that you will keep finding intriguing new facets on this diamond - particularly when the very light of its own origin shines on it.

The series of movies and documentaries around the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre are loosely based on Ed Gein, who was also the prototype for Pyscho's Norman Bates and The Silence of the Lambs' Buffalo Bill. Though Gein didn't use a chainsaw in the murders, the terrifying weapons had been used in murders before.
A look at some high-profile cases in which people, who immerse themselves in horror imagery, ultimately feel compelled to commit the same aggressive crimes they viewed.

By helping you earn miles or points toward airfare, hotel stays, and more, travel rewards cards can be a great way to make your next trip more affordable. Whether you're a frequent business traveler wanting elite perks or a family looking to save, you should be able to find a travel rewards card that's right for you. How to Choose a Travel Credit CardWhen deciding on a credit card for travel, you need to decide what type of benefit is most important to you. Click on any of the links below to find out more information about cards that will pay you back in points or rewards for: Travel RewardsIf you like to travel but are not loyal to any particular airline, try the Barclaycard Arrival or Barclaycard Arrival Plus. Both cards allow you to redeem toward any airline of your choice and both have no foreign transaction fees.
If you spend over $1,334 per month on your credit card, consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred. Chase Sapphire Preferred currently offers 40,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 in the first 3 months from account opening (worth $500 toward travel rewards when you redeem through Chase Ultimate Rewards). There is a $95 annual fee ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year). Travel OffersInternational Travel Airline Hotel Gas Redeeming Points Also consider how you would like to book your reward travel: some cards require you to book through the card issuer's website, while others have more flexible options. Be sure to review the card's terms and conditions to see whether it has blackout dates or other restrictions on redeeming points. Most travel and airline credit cards require very good to excellent credit to apply. Like most rewards cards, travel and airline credit card offers tend to charge higher interest rates compared to other types of credit cards, so if you don't plan on paying your balance in full each month, consider a low interest credit card instead.

Travel Rewards BenefitsTravel rewards credit cards not only help you save money on expenses, such as flights and hotel rooms, they also usually offers points (or miles) that can be redeemed toward other discounts or benefits. A travel-focused credit card might also provide additional benefits when it is used to pay for travel expenses. The majority of travel rewards credit cards work like regular rewards cards, with cardholders earning a certain number of points for each dollar spent on purchases using the card. The difference is that cards focused on travel rewards usually offer bonuses, either when you use them to pay for travel-related expenses, or when you redeem points for travel savings. Some examples may include:
A Focus on BusinessMany credit cards aimed at businesspeople also emphasize travel rewards, as work-related travel remains common despite today's challenging economy:
Corporate Tie-insSome cards bear the name of a travel-related company, such as an airline or hotel chain, and provide even better bonuses for purchases at that particular business. Potential perks include:

There's nothing to see here, Mashonda. The first couple of Reebok, Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz, was spotted holding hands while out and about in Miami on Sunday (March 24).
The 32-year-old star hit the stage in Tampa, Florida later that evening in support of her Set The World On Fire tour to positive reviews.
Alicia revealed her feelings about her marriage to the hit-making producer on her 'Oprah's Master Class' episode. "I really learned what everyone meant when they said 'you know when you know' when I met my husband. I never knew what that meant, and it sounded to me like some weird kind of slogan," she said. "You know when you know? What do you mean, 'you know when you know'? But actually, you do know when you know. And that's with everything with life."

19.06. – 19.09.2009 IMPRESSIONS: Berlin Art Scene Museum of Modern Art Skopje, Macedonia |
2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 |
On 19th of June 2009 in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje the exhibition "Impresions: Berlin's Art Scene" was opened. According to curator Dr. Rolf Külz-Mackenzie, the display presents the current Berlin art scene, reflecting the art of the German capital through different generations of 21 artists. D-r. Rolf Kueltz Mekenzie Besides renowned German authors, Rolf Külz-Mackenzie included Macedonian artist Jovan Balov. In the List of other participating artists in the exhibition Heiko Daxl & Ingeborg Fülepp, Mariana Vassileva and Ottjörg A.C. was selected - who already had solo exhibitions in Prima Center Berlin, as well as Wolfgang Petrick, Genia Chef and Michaela Strumberger, who have been already presented in Macedonia through the projects of Prima Center Skopje. In the frame of the exhibition, 3 artists, of Prima Center Berlin, took place, as integral part of Berlin Art Scene: Tim Deussen, Dagmar Tinschmann-Lichtefeld and Martin Juef. The selection of the artists of Prima Center Berlin was made by Jovan Balov, who runs Prima Center Berlin. The exhibition was opened by the ambassador of Germany in Macedonia, Mrs. Ulrike Knotz.
"As far as the Skopje
exhibition project is concerned, there can be no genuine representative
criteria for the contemporary artistic positions inside and outside Berlin.
Berlin artistic scenes are indeed too diverse for that. The only general
assumption we can make is that artistic themes and questions are determined,
among other things, by the continuous migration of people. Characteristic for
the area of culture and the arts is predominantly the immigration of artists
as well as the international and regional blending, whose end result is
constant change." |

I don't need to tell you this, but in case you haven't been paying attention, the Magic pretty much stink right now. Naturally this raises questions. How do you fix it? What's the root of the problem? Whose fault is it? Where do we go from here?
How about this question.
What on earth is Stan Van Gundy going to do for the rest of this season? If this roster stays the same, Orlando will drop below .500 and not make the playoffs. Note it. It's really that bad.
Why do I say so? Well, for one thing, last night Orlando was more successful with Von Wafer and Larry Hughes on the floor than any combination of their first seven guys. It's a disaster. No one can hit shots, and I'm talking about the open shots as well as the contested ones. You've got Glen Davis fading away from 15 feet, guys trying to give Dwight the ball seven feet from the basket, everyone and their mother turning the ball over like they have absolutely no clue how to make a strong pass, and Stan Van Gundy about ready to pull out his hair and roll around on the court like a mad man.
To make matters worse, you can see it all over these guys' faces. Turkoglu is the best example. He looks like he'd be happier hanging out with his family somewhere, eating duck, wearing Italian suits, and laughing about how fun yesteryear was. He has no interest whatsoever in being on a basketball court. I'm going to dare to say it — his time is up. It's come and gone. I love the guy to death, but no type of shock therapy can revive him from his current state.
Speaking of guys who are probably done, Jameer can't dribble, and when he tries to dribble, he falls. He also can't shoot for some reason, so guys don't really have to guard him at all when he's in a pick-and-roll. I don't know why, but you can probably stick a fork in him too. Von Wafer did a better job bringing the ball up the floor against the 76ers than Nelson has this season. So did Larry Hughes.
Ryan Anderson does things well, but not as consistently as anyone wants. He plays decent games and then bad games. Also, he outrebounds Dwight sometimes, which is a crying shame. How is that even possible? Besides, we can't honestly expect any more than we're getting from Anderson. He's a role player and has had a hell of a start, but the law of averages is starting to kick in.
Jason Richardson is nonexistent, and the same goes for Quentin Richardson, I could go on. For now, though, I'm done trolling on individuals. That was just a rant to set up my thesis. Here we go.
Part of me feels like if there was an option to shut this whole thing down right now, let players walk away, and have the next few months to offer deals to other guys around the league, then you take that option! This is an unfixable, un-coachable runaway train that someone needs to put the breaks on.
It's time to start packaging guys and shipping them out. I'm talking about big blockbuster packages. Deal Howard, Anderson and Jameer in a package. Deal Redick, J-Rich, Duhon and Turk in a package. Just get them out the door.
First things first — Orlando needs a point guard. I don't care who it is. Let Joakim Noah bring the ball up. At least he doesn't turn the ball over. Orlando needs to pay someone to calm down, get the ball up the floor, and run the pick-and-roll. It wouldn't hurt if they could score a little too.
Once they get that, then you start looking for non-streak shooters, non-volume shooters, and shooters who can hit open shots. Goodness, I'd even take Kyle Korver at this point. Give me Mike Miller — whatever.
Or here's an idea. How about deal Dwight for some guys who can fill it up? What about Dwight for Monta Ellis? Ok, that's a bad idea, but maybe you can see where am going here. For the record, I'd love to package a blockbuster deal with the Bulls, but that will likely never happen because, well, they have a pretty good thing going up there at the moment, and probably won't break up the band to land Dwight. But if you're wondering what I want for Dwight and some other pieces, it's Joakim Noah and Luol Deng among other things.
Whoever you want in exchange for Dwight, we are now at the point where it's time to blow it up and shut it down. A brand-new look is not only preferable at this point, it's absolutely necessary (though ownership's desire to acquire veterans does complicate matters). Zach Harper of Daily Dime Live tells you to never trust the Hawks. I'm telling you don't trust the Orlando Magic. Orlando is never going to get equal value for Dwight Howard. What's important, though, is getting something soon.
Side note: can I get a Caron Butler on my team? Can I get a Tony Allen? How about a Thaddeus Young or a James Harden? It's unbelievable to read these names and try to compare them to some of the guys on this Orlando roster. What a miserable exercise. I'm depressed.
Time to digress. The only answer right now is dealing Dwight. Let's shut it down the only way we know how. This is not to say that Dwight is the reason the Magic aren't good — far from it. I'm saying this club I'm partying in is packed with ugly girls and dudes I don't want that in my favorite club. Sometimes you have to SHUT THE CLUB DOWN before it gets out of hand.
Put differently, it's panic time in Orlando.
So what do you do as owner? You deal Dwight. Then you tell your fans to relax, it's going to be a growing process, but we'll have you another decent team in a few years.
Otherwise you're just delaying the inevitable. You're just going to have a team of guys who could not care less about the game trolling around the court missing shots, turning the ball over, and letting Glen Davis fadeaway from 15 feet. And no one wants to see that. Except maybe Otis Smith.

Hello, friends!
I currently work for Radio Disney but have been on a hold list for quite some time for a position in the entertainment department of WDW. My fiance and I have decided to give it a shot and just move to Orlando soon after we're married. We take frequent trips to the world, usually by car, but sometimes by plane from St. Louis Lambert International (STL) to MCO. We are thinking of taking a quick trip to Orlando to look at apartments/houses and don't want to spend the time driving for such a shortened trip. There is apparently a cheap, twice-weekly flight between Mid-America Airport (BLV) to MCO that I have heard about many times, but I cannot seem to find any information on the subject. The airport's website is likely the worst I've seen for something as official as an airport. I've only flown out of BLV once, over a decade ago, though it was to MCO. Are there any Midwestern-ers out there who have any experience with this airport or flight?

The best advice for right now is to chill man. It's very, very, very hard to tell what a tattoo actually looks like when it's peeling. What you need to do is to keep lotioning it as much as possible, and follow the after care instructions you were given. A tattoo takes a minimum of two weeks to heal up, and until that point you don't know how it's going to turn out.
On the other hand, if after two weeks you don't like how it looks, it's touch up time.
Love. Peace. Metallica.

I almost bought River White and it is very pretty. My vote is for it. |
Hi, wish I could be more help,but we still haven't gotten our granite yet. Still waiting for our contractor to get started with the cabinets...hopefully before April. My DH and I both love the White River. I'm waiting for bigger sample of that color. It should be here by the 15th of this month. I do have a small chip/sample of the Bianco Romano,Monte Bello and River White. Of the three small samples I have, the River White is the lightest and whitest color. I'm including pics of the River White that comes from our slab yard. As far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with the River White...it's beautiful. Good luck. |
Well, you have no idea i have had with trying to post this picture. I'm so mad I could whip a bear right now!! I just keep getting error messages because I have already posted a reply to this and it say's I need to change the subject. Hope this doesn't mess things up, but giving it a try. I must be eaten up with the dummies tonight. Never had this much problems posting a pic before. |
Oh Jewel, I was so frustrated yesterday working on a photo project. Work related. Anyway I wanted to whip a bear too. I had to walk away and do something else and go back to it later. You have no idea how mad I was. If there had been a bear here I might have taken him on. : ) I soooo understand your frustration. Glad you were able |

Thank you all for your responses. We are inclined a little more towards Galaxy, but it's never final until it's installed! Galaxy seems to be "whiter", brighter and has a little bit of the brown in our cabinets. River has a beautiful texture and movement, but seems to have too much gray. The plum dots don't match with the backsplash. |
discoganya - not sure if you've looked at Luce di Luna quartzite (quartzite bianca), or if you like the linear movement or not, but some slabs are whiter than others, some greyer. It might be worth a look. The slab we have used, pictured below, is whiter towards the top and has some brown in it, it matches well with our walnut cabs. The kitchen isn't finished yet unfortunately, so I don't yet have a good shot showing the cabs and the countertop, may have more this weekend. |
Feel better this morning. Boxerpup,good thing I didn't try to whip a bear last night because I would have lasted about as long as a paper sack in a bear fight. This is the other pic I tried to post last night. I like the Galaxy,too |
- Posted by discoganya (My Page) on Sat, Mar 13, 10 at 20:04
sochi -- your kitchen is immaculate; straight out of a designer magazine! We are not too familiar with quartzite, but we made the decision to go with granite a couple of months ago :) We are about 90% fixed on the galaxy -- given the extra brightness and lack of grays. The cabinets will be a dark java & the backsplash will be mosaic glass tiles (Walker Zanger Mantra Brown Tea mini-brick). |

I thought I'd update this thread with progress so far: River White Granite! River won over galaxy! Cabinets to be stained this week... more updates to follow Clearly, I'm not a photographer, so please bear with me: Thanks to everyone on this forum! |
That river white is BEAUTIFUL! Great choice. I wish I had it. |

OK, here are the pics after the cabs were stained. We went with a deep mahogany to coordinate with the tiles, granite and backsplash. The results have really exceeded our expectations. My contractor says that the shine of the top coat will tone down over the next few weeks. Note: I have many skills, but photography is not one of them. So please excuse the crappy pics :) The stain is really a dark brown/mahogany -- not black as seen in some of the pics. Here is a picture with the flash on -- shows some of the brown tones |

Looks great discoganya. Did you ever run across a granite called Kashmir White? It looks very similar to River White. Does anyone know if it is in fact the same (with different names)? |
I WANT your granite, it is beauuuutifuuuul! great pics! |
Your kitchen looks great! The stain! The countertops! The backsplash! |
Hi, Beautiful!!! I'm really liking this granite. I have done a quick google search but can't seem to find dealers in Toronto that carry. Anyone know where to find River White in Toronto? Thanks!!! |
Hi Can you please tell me the name of backsplash and who sells it in the USA |
what finish do you have on the WZ tiles |
I found out there is a WZ store near me, ordered my tiles should have them in a week. Thank you all for being so helpfull.............lol |
Hi. I just renovated my kitchen and had River White installed. I originally wanted marble, but was afraid of staining and etching. Maybe when the kids are older. I do love the River White, though! Please take a look at the link for lots of pictures of it. |

Dr. Pfeiffer is an avid proponent of discovering and using advanced dental technologies that can make a big difference in your oral health. For example, Dr. Pfeiffer uses the VELscope instrument - a technologically advanced tool that allows for early detection of oral cancer. The tool uses a special blue light to find problems before they can be seen under ordinary white light.
A quick, two minute diagnostic test with the VELscope VX can be combined with the standard oral soft tissue exam that Dr. Pfeiffer performs. This special test is quick and painless, requiring no rinses or stains, allows visual information to be gathered that cannot be acquired in any other way.
Click this link to learn more about Dr. Pfeiffer's use of the VELscope VX to help fight oral cancer and other diseases with his special screening:

Department of Mechanical Engineering
Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Mechanical Engineering › News, Events, and Publications › News › Keller Awarded Grant to Research Self-healing Teeth Fillings
Thursday, September 19, 2013
Pilot project to provide mechanical repair to dental composite chemicals currently used in fillings.
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Michael Keller was awarded an OCAST Health Research Grant to investigate self-healing dental composites. The grant is a collaborative effort between Keller and Sharukh Khajotia, Assistant Dean for Research and Advanced Programs at The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
Keller and Khajotia have launched a pilot project that would provide mechanical repair to dental composite chemicals currently used in teeth fillings.
"The materials used in fillings over the past 20 years have become more aesthetically appealing, but are weaker than the old-school metal fillings," Keller says. "The average composite life can be as low as three to eight years; but going forward, we'd like to double that and prolong the life of the filling."
With the help of the three-year OCAST grant, the researchers will test a series of biocompatible healing agents that can automatically repair cracked or leaky fillings. The funding will allow Keller and Khajotia to optimize their approach and investigate the self-healing ability of their new materials.
"We're not starting from scratch. We're basically adding another material to existing dental composites that can self-heal damage in the filling," Keller says.
The new composite formula will result in fillings that last substantially longer than what is currently available, reducing the number of new cavities caused by cracked and failing fillings.

There are lots of buzz words in the sustainable, I mean, eco, I mean, green world of fashion and who is really to say which one is better than the other? You. Thanks to the world getting ever the more politically correct, you need to have a reference guide to be sure you know what you're saying – and not offending.

County engineers are required to accept for recording the survey of registered engineers and land surveyors only, and to make a record of said survey by said persons.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
August 24, 1950
Honorable D. J. CunninghamProsecuting AttorneyLewis CountyChehalis, Washington Cite as: AGO 49-51 No. 324
Dear Sir:
We acknowledge receipt of your inquiry of August 17, 1950, in which you ask:
"May the office of the county engineer refuse to record a survey which appears to have been made in accordance with the laws of the State but made by an engineer or surveyor who isnot a registered engineer or land surveyor?"
Our conclusion may be stated as follows: Under present law no one but registered engineers and land surveyors may operate in this state to make land surveys and the county engineers would, therefore, not be required to accept surveys by unauthorized persons.
Section 5, chapter 136, Laws of 1895 (Rem. Rev. Stat. 4150) provides:
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]]
"Each county engineer shall record in a suitable book all surveys made by him and his deputies, * * * and he shall make a complete record of all construction notes, and shall also record the survey of any other surveyor, which shall be made in his county, whenever demanded by any person: Provided, the fees for recording the same shall be paid the same as provided for county auditors: Provided further, that such survey appears to have been made in accordance with the laws of the state. * * *"
It appears that in 1895 there was no limitation upon the term "land surveyor." The legislature, however, by sections 1 et seq., chapter 283, Laws of 1947 (§ 8306-21 et seq. Rem. Supp. 1947) has seen fit for the purpose of safeguarding life, health and property, to provide a limitation upon who shall qualify as engineers and registered surveyors and who shall be authorized to practice as such in the State of Washington, and said act requires registration of said persons, who are defined by the act, and the minimum requirements for registration are therein set forth.
The 1947 act accordingly has amended the survey recording act by defining the term "surveyor" and it therefore follows that unless the surveyor who made the notes was registered he is not a surveyor under the 1895 act, as amended, and the county engineer accordingly would not be required to accept his notes for recording.
Very truly yours,
SMITH TROYAttorney General
PHILIP W. RICHARDSONAssistant Attorney General

I caught up with some professional journals over the holidays and am just sharing a few interesting items I read:
Well, there is a study that will "prove" almost anything. I'm always interested in a new book about Lincoln in print or eformat. I read both.
Last week I wrote about looking back at 2014 with a focus on our millage renewal and several building changes that patrons and use patterns have told us have been successful. We also had some programming highlights in 2014.
Many of these services are described in detail on our website and in LINK, our quarterly newsletter, and through our biweekly enewsletter.
We have had a good year and are looking forward to 2015. Come visit soon – one of our five locations or our website.
Happy new year!
Year end bring a time of reflection. As I look back over 2014 for the library, many events and milestones immediately come to mind. Of course the first is the successful passage, by a strong margin, of our renewal millage in May. Our two millages are now in place for 17 and 20 years.
Several of our milestones this year, involved building projects which allowed us to expand public services. We created the "Story Place" by the children's room at Central from space that had been a materials sorting area for returned items. We now have a wonderful family friendly program and play space as part of the children's room.
A closet and storage area is now "The Hub," our digital lab on the third floor Central, and we rearranged furniture and added several displays of materials in the first floor rotunda. As part of that rearrangement, we were able to create a quieter reading and study area on the second floor. We also completed the expansion of the Clarence L. Miller Family Local History Room.
Changes at branches were less dramatic this year, although we now have a computer room at Eastwood, were able to put holds out for self-pick-up at Washington Square, and moved the teen space and created a reading area with popular books at Oshtemo. At Powell Branch, rental space within the Douglass Community Association, rainbows and sunshine continued to create a welcoming environment.
All of these changes have been well received by our patrons and have generated positive comments. Use has increased too.
I hope it has been a good year for you, even if it didn't involve any building projects! Come visit soon, especially if you haven't been here in a while and best wishes for the new year.
This can be a stressful, overly busy time of year. We've all read advice for reducing stress. Here's another one: uninterrupted reading, even "slow reading."
"Slow reading" is a return to reading habits of the time before cellphones, social media, Google….just sit in silence and read uninterruptedly. Reducing stress is certainly a benefit. Such reading time also enhances comprehension, deepens empathy, enriches vocabulary, and of course, provides pleasure.
The reading tips include going to a place with no distractions (turn off the phone and computer), and treat reading like something you deliberately make time for.
If folding this approach into this busy time of year just seems overwhelming, perhaps it will be a new year's resolution for you.
There is a new day designation, at least new to me……December 2 has been designated "Giving Tuesday." This has a nice ring as opposed to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
This is the time of year when we all receive many requests for donations from a wide variety of local, regional, and national organizations.
The library does not conduct an annual fundraising campaign nor send out a solicitation request. Our only fundraiser is our annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee to raise funds to buy books for distribution through our Ready to Read program.
Of course donations to the library are always welcome and greatly appreciated. There is a link on our website - look for "Support the Library" at the bottom of any page.
A donation can be designated for a specific collection, such as large print or children's; a location, such as your neighborhood branch; or a service such as Local History, Teens, or Ready to Read. Undesignated gifts are directed where they are needed most.
We appreciate if you think of the library when you are considering your year-end giving.
What a night for the 14th annual Great Grown-up Spelling Bee! THANK YOU to all the KPL staff who had a part in making this another successful year of raising serious money to buy books for kids through Ready to Read. It was fun. I can't begin to name everyone who had a part before, at, after the event BUT I will thank Mikki who pulled it all together so smoothly and the KPL spellers, Bill and Lolita, who won 2nd place in a spell down against Portage District Library, no less, and to Karen who did an awesome job as word pronouncer. She must practice at home to be so smooth at this role. And our cheerleaders….great job with that 1980's look and moves. For those of you old enough to remember…..I think Lolita was channeling the Jane Fonda's work-out look!! Do we miss those days??
Well into the night, Neil Bremer the MC, asked how many were there for the first time. I was amazed how many hands went up. Although this event, now in its 14th year, is familiar to us, I think its longevity is partly due to attracting new folks each year.
Final numbers aren't in, but indications are we raised the "usual" amount of $20,000 or so. I call that serious money to buy lots and lots of books for kids.
Thank you KPL staff. We have reason to celebrate and be proud today.
Great job everyone!
I'm behind – I just read that October was National Reading Group Month. Oh well.
We are pleased to offer many services for readers, including book groups, in support of our priority of "reading, viewing, and listening for pleasure."
Our primary service for book groups is Book Club in a Bag: ten copies of the same book in one easy-to-carry bag, along with a reading group guide. We have a substantial list of titles and are always open to suggestions of new titles to add.
The new books lists and Staff Picks on our website are good reading suggestions for book groups or individuals. Our staff are sharing their favorites of 2014 with new lists being added frequently.
And finally, we hope the recently rearranged rotunda at Central and the new displays will make browsing new titles easier. Of course good reads aren't just new books; browse the stacks too or ask our staff for suggestions.
I often write here and in LINK, our newsletter, about our #1 priority of creating young readers – preparing young children to be ready to learn when they enter school. Some new resources have been added to our website to support this goal.
Once again research has shown that children who are read to do better in school. A new emphasis, Read Aloud 15 MINUTES, maintains that "15 minutes of reading aloud daily, starting at birth, will change the face of education in our country." Additional information about this initiative is on our website.
15 minutes a day of reading to young children dovetails nicely with our program 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and soon to come will be our Early Learning Calendar for 2015, available in December.
Storytimes continue to be a favorite for many families of young children. Many plan their library visit around Storytime or plan for play time in the Story Place, the activity room for young children at Central.
These resources and many others are described on the Kids & Parents section of our website. We update it often, so visit often.
And, of course, read to all the young children in your life.
The first floor rotunda at Central has a new look.
Shelving for new fiction and nonfiction, Hot Picks, and urban fiction has been repositioned to go around the opening rather than as spokes from the opening. New display tables have been added and much of the seating has been moved to the second floor. The space is more fully a browsing area for new materials, not a seating area.
In the second floor rotunda, additional seating has been added by current magazines. Current newspapers have been moved across from Local History and tables and chairs have been repositioned to create a more quiet reading and study area.
The first floor changes reflect our priority of "reading, viewing, and listening for pleasure" and provide a space to highlight staff picks, librarian favorites, and topical books, along with new books.
Patrons have asked for a more quiet reading area and we hope that will be the use of the area by Local History.
Come visit soon and see our rearranged look.
Each fall all 1,200+ first graders in the Kalamazoo Public Schools visit the library twice. We are almost finished the first round of visits. The first graders heard a story, received their very own library card, and chose a book to take back to school.
When they visit again in a few weeks, they will return the book and look for another one, then hopefully return again with their family. We hope to make library visits an ongoing family routine for these first graders.
Many studies show the difference in school readiness and academic achievement between children who have been read to and visited libraries and those who have not. We know that children who live in poverty are at the highest risk for starting school unprepared to learn.
We are working closely with the Kalamazoo Public Schools as well as many others in the community to support school readiness. Services and programs for preschoolers as well as those in the early elementary grades are listed on our website. Our staff would also be happy to describe them to you.
It takes all of us to support our community's children – help us spread the word about library services and the importance of regular library visits.

Building new home. Please excuse my laymen terms. We are at punch stage and 7 bath fans are exhausted out one roof exhaust cap or pipe or whatever you call it. Any problems with this? #'s of fans as follows: Additionally, I upgraded the fans and they call for 6inch ducting and as far as I can tell they took them down to 3 or 4 inch ducting and the runs are really long to the 1 roof pipe. Please advise. I am doing punch walk with builder and I have mentioned my concern about this many times since they were first installed and it is yet to be resolved. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by audiomixer (My Page) on Sun, Feb 17, 13 at 22:22
Personally I wouldn't do it. I'd have a external vent for each fan. It's really up to the local code in your area. Most of the time it may be permitted if (and only if) there is a integrated damper on each fan to prevent backdraft. And, some municipal codes require that no two fans could operate at the same time. In the cases where code permits multiple exhaust vents into one duct, then they are the type where there is a central fan (sucking) not several fans (pushing). Plus, there are dampers that must block the bathroom vents that aren't being used. Example link below. You also can't or shouldn't terminate in the attic, inside at the soffit vents or inside into a roof vent. In other words it should be hooked to its own dedicated roof jack/vent. Also the duct work from the fan housing to the roof jack should be insulated to prevent condensation from warm vent air and cold duct. This is commonly overlooked and is a big deal in cold climates. Here's a bit of the code: The IRC is pretty clear on this: (underlining and bold are mine) That does not leave any room for any air to be pushed back into the living space by any other mechanical exhaust system. Then the IRC adds this: That clearly states that exhaust air from the bathroom/toilet room fan shall be exhausted ... directly ... to the outdoors. Based on the above two code sections, unless the installation instructions specifically state that two exhaust fans may be connected to a single duct, then two exhaust fans may not be connected to a single duct. Unless, of course, permitted by local code. |

I think you have a number of problems with you installation. You have 7 fans with 6 inch exhausts. Who did the calculation for the fan sizing? That is a lot of air flow when they are all operating. I would be worried about causing a negative air pressure condition in the house. I don't see why you would need more than one fan per bathroom. If the bathroom is large then size the fan properly. If you have closed toilet area then install vents so air can flow to the one fan in the bathroom. Each fan needs its own exhaust to the outside. The vent should be consistent and insulated up to the exhaust point. What do you think will happen when you turn on 6 of the 7 fans? Air will be exhaust out the fan that is not operating. You need to fix this. |

If I understand, the 7 pipes are not spliced together. Rather the ends all meet under the cap. The pipe ends are not connected to each other. /. .\ . . . \. ./ My house has two like this. The exhaust flow of one is not connected to the other. It blows out the cap/cover. The cap is not a duct. |
