India Kitchen?deemed Hartford County's Best Indian Restaurant in 2011 by readers of Connecticut Magazine?piles family-style offerings from North and South India onto its menu, concocting entrees with imported ingredients and an authentic tandoor oven. Patrons can play games of solitaire with 11 types of traditional breads, such as the raisin- and nut-filled khandari kulcha ($3.95). Jumbo shrimp slip into robes of lemon juice, yogurt, and spices before sizzling in the clay oven, only to emerge as tandoori shrimp ($15.95) or, in rare cases, a single giant shrimp with crime-fighting ambitions and mastery over fire. The chicken chutney wala surrounds poultry morsels with tangy pools of curried mango and mint sauce ($12.95), whereas cashew-and-almond sauce varnishes vegetable-and-cheese dumplings in the vegetarian malai kofta ($11.95).
In addition to its classic menu offerings, India Kitchen hosts a daily all-you-can-eat lunch buffet seven days a week as well as a Wednesday and Sunday night dinner buffet. Featuring a catering menu for larger groups, the restaurant's chefs portion out party-sized servings from a limited menu that includes naan ($32+) and vegetable biryani ($40+). For heartier mealtimes, they also simmer orders of lamb or fish curry ($90) that can either feed 30?40 people or one insatiable garbage disposal.
The chefs at Masala rain Indian and Nepali seasonings down upon succulent meats slow-cooked inside a tandoor clay oven and simmered veggies flooded with sauce. Divided into two, Masala's menu features Indian favorites such as curries, skewered lamb cubes, and 13 types of Indian bread, including hand-stretched garlic naan, as well as Nepali dishes such as mo-mo cha steamed dumplings filled with veggies or chicken. Within the eatery's yellow-hued walls, a full bar cohabitates with a daily lunch buffet, which arranges tasty eats in a row, like a police lineup of the California Raisins.
The chefs at Saffron Place take spices seriously. Drawing on shelves of cumin, curry, fresh ginger, and garlic, they craft each dish individually to account for each person's preferred level of spiciness, be it mild to smoking hot. The individual preparation of each order ensures that their traditional north Indian and Bengali dishes arrive at tables still steaming from the stove or easily startled dragons. Servers carry goat curry, chicken tikka masala, and vegetarian platters to tables or customers waiting for takeout orders.
Glowing sconces line the crimson and cream walls inside Namaste India, where traditional Indian dishes adorn linen-topped tables and fill the air with spiced aromas. Marinated lamb, chicken, and seafood slumber inside a clay tandoor oven until they're mildly smoky and tender throughout, while other proteins and vegetables steep in rich curry sauces, aptly scooped up with fresh-baked naan bread or ladled over delicate basmati rice. Patrons can wash down meals with sweet, salted, or mango-flavored lassi drinks, or snatch a classic dessert such as gulab jamun—deep-fried milk dumplings that are soaked in syrup and delivered to tables via an air gun.
Green Chili's family of flavor aficionados melds more than 49 years of culinary know-how and worldwide travel with international influences to populate an extensive menu of classic Indian and American entrees. Diners can sample an assortment of traditional Indian dishes, including mint-tinged chicken tikka ($6.99) tucked neatly into a spinach, white, or wheat wrap. Shrimp curry ($10.50) zings taste buds with zesty spices and socially relevant one-liners, and a sky-high veggie sandwich ($6.50) buttresses layers of onion, sautéed potatoes, and cilantro between thick slices of bread. To quell crack-of-dawn cravings, Green Chili whips up breakfast items throughout the day, as well as fluffy Indian pancakes ($4.99–$7.99), served with spicy lentil and cool coconut dip. The savory smorgasbord also includes American entrees, such as the Corporate Dog ($3.15–$6.25), a plump hot dog topped with chili, sauerkraut, and upward mobility.
The chefs at Savoring Indian Cuisine have a couple different tricks for imparting every dish with a burst of flavor. The first involves their spices, which they grind in-house before sprinkling them onto coal-roasted eggplants and various flavored naans. The second's in their tandoor oven, which gives meat a smoky flavor and a light, juicy texture. This makes the resulting cuts of lamb, chicken, and salmon perfect for the house kebabs. The chefs don't only craft meat entrees, however. They also have a full menu of vegetarian entrees, which showcase vegetables like the invite list to a scarecrow's retirement party.

(Attica, OH) While finishing second in the points at two Northwest Ohio tracks in 2009 might be a career for some 410 sprint drivers, for Monclova, Ohio's Byron Reed, it was a disappointing season that saw him find victory lane only once. Reed rededicated himself in the off-season, and has stormed out of the gates to start 2010, claiming his 8th career win with the O'Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champion on HD Supply Spring Nationals Night at Attica Raceway Park Saturday. That comes on the heals of a second place run last week to open Attica 's season."Last week was totally different. We came from the tail and believe it or not that's a lot easier for me. I mean I love the fact we won, but I hate leading for all that time because you know Dale (Blaney) and Tim (Shaffer) back there, you know they're going to be coming for you. I knew I could drive in hard…it was going to take a good effort to get me. I spun the tires a few times and I was getting a bit nervous," said Reed of his 23rd career Attica win, second on the all-time victory list.Once he took the lead on lap 6, Reed received the benefit of a clear track on several occasions thanks to cautions just as he was set to hit lapped traffic."We finally got a night where everything went our way and I'll take it. I don't know if anyone watched me last year, I had a lot of bad luck so maybe we're finally turning it around," said Reed beside his Reebar Diecasting, ProShocks, Schoenfield Headers backed #5. "I have to thank my crew, Kurt (Brewer), Christian Walton has come on with me this year…he's done a great job, Dick West, Kevin Meyer and my two boys and my mom and dad do a lot for me. It's been a long time since we won an All Star race and hopefully this is a sign of things to come."

I am a recent Graphic Design graduate and was wondering if there is a dedicated resource to finding jobs in that field. I am currently looking on regular job sites such as Monster.com, careerbuilder.com, etc. but am not having much luck. I live in NJ. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I've done work here in the past. It's not an easy site to travel as there is a lot of information on one page once you are logged in. Just do a search for Graphic Design and you should see all available jobs. I hope you have a good experience with rent a coder. oh and sologig is good too.

Social Media has many purposes, and in order to ask questions about how to use Social Media to get a job, connect in school, work, personal life, do business, etc. you must go across many categories to get an answer. some have suggested putting the various types as subcategories beneath the major Cateogory of Social Media. what do you think?

You do not need to be a computer engineer or a scientist with Ph.D. to become a top-notch technical writer. there are many low-tech writing niches that you can prosper in even if you are not too comfortable with hi-tech subject matters. Here are seven such opportunities available to all technical writers:
1) Grant Proposal writing. There are a lot of non-profit organizations out there looking for writers to prepare and submit a grant proposal on their behalf. The same goes for for-profit corporations that need writers to prepare the necessary documentation to satisfy the conditions stated in a RFP (Request for Proposal) document and win commercial bids.
2) Resume and cover letter writing. Resumes and cover letters are "evergreen" writing gigs since they are needed all the time. but especially in times of economic hardship and recession, a good resume becomes more important than ever. Learn how to write great resumes and cover letters and you'll never be without a job.
3) Quality Control Plan (QCP) writing. This is a document submitted by a defense contractor trying to win a defense-related bid. you can learn how to write one within a day and make good money freelancing for defense vendors and contractors.
4) Tests and Quizzes. there are many tutoring companies, SAT and other exam-prep book publishers who need technical writers come up with all kinds of exam questions, tests and quizzes. Pick up one such book you like, find its publisher, and send a query to the editor.
5) Policy and Procedure writing. Policy and Procedure manuals are needed by all kinds of civic, religious, and military organizations, corporate Human Resources departments, and non-profits in general. you gather and compile the rules, policies and procedures so the managers know what to do when something goes wrong.
6) Case studies. A case study defines a problem for an organization, describes the alternative methods tried to resolve the issue, and then defines one solution that worked the best, with Before and After figures. Many mid- and large-size organizations have such case studies written both for their internal training and marketing purposes. This is a lucrative field that overlaps with writing White Papers.
7) Game rule writing. Video and board games is a $12 billion industry and growing. Every game must have its own file or booklet of rules and technical writers write them. if you can write clear directions on how to play a game, what constitutes a "win" or a "loss," what are the things that are allowed and not allowed, and express it in a language that can be understood by an average reader with only high school education, you might have a job with a game company.

Hunting for jobs for 17 year olds but looking for above minimum wage earnings? the secret is to look at jobs that give out tips or incentives for selling something. the most you could first is to focus on what skills you have. the more skilled you are and the good grades to show for it will really help you win a job that pays higher than minimum wage. You also have to have the right attitude. this will shine through the hiring process and you would be able to at least have a reason on why you are legit to have above minimum wage. Jobs for 17 year olds that would most likely have this swanky above minimum wage earning power would be in the restaurant business and telemarketing.
Being in the restaurant or food service business would be paying minimum wage but if you do excellently waiting tables, your tips can become even more than what you're accepting as an employee. this is also a great way to meet people who can provide employment opportunities in the future.
Telemarketing can have lucrative jobs for 17 year olds, especially if you are savvy in the area of sales. Look for companies which give you commissions or incentives when you are able to meet targets on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
Just in case, you need to further sharpen your skills, opt for two part-time jobs that would pay you by the hour. Baby sitting or tutoring are areas which can bring in the money and also provide a sense of meaning and goodwill at the same time.

Hi. I am relatively new to web development. I am decent at XHTML and CSS. I know a bit about php, but I still have a lot left to learn. In the mean time, I need to get some sort of money coming in. I have checked on various freelance websites, but it seems you need to be pretty proficient in programming to get one of those jobs. Does anybody have any tips that may help me find a job? I know I won't get paid a lot for it, but I just need something to bring a little money in and give me something to add to my portfolio.

It's no secret that there are many dangerous jobs out there in the world. Heck, some jobs that should be relatively safe, like working at a post office, result in people losing their lives. So while it is true, because of the world that we live in, that no job is totally safe, there are some jobs that are dangerous just by the nature of the job itself. We take a look at just a few of these, most of which will probably be very obvious to you.
One of the most dangerous jobs in the world has to be that of a policeman. Not the ones that sit behind a desk, but the ones that are out on the street. with the prevalence of drugs and other substances in our society, every step that a policeman takes out on the streets is a potential step into mortal danger. What makes this all the more worse is that policeman are paid less money than professions that are no where near as dangerous and certainly no where near as important. This makes being a policeman not only dangerous, but thankless. This is something that you really have to want to do with all your heart.
Another very dangerous job is that of a fireman. every time that alarm goes off and a fireman has to respond to a fire, he is potentially walking into his death. Burning homes and warehouses don't care who you are. They don't care if you have a uniform on or not. Fire burns and kills everybody the same. in some ways, being a fireman is even more dangerous than being a policeman as each time you take a call you know there is a fire and a potentially dangerous situation. This is another job you have to want to do more than anything.
If you're looking for danger in your work, there is always the military. And it isn't just going off to fight a war that makes it dangerous. a lot of the military training itself can be very dangerous as they need to prepare you for meeting with the enemy. Soldiers have been seriously hurt during training maneuvers. Men have died from excessively long hikes with full pack in the blazing sun. the commercial says, "Be all that you can be". it should probably add a caveat to that saying. Something like "At your own risk".
But if you really want to live on the edge of extinction, just get yourself some training with explosives and find yourself a job on the bomb squad. in today's world where terrorism is so prevalent, bomb scares are a way of life. And with each scare is the potential to find a real bomb. the job of the bomb squad is to disarm that bomb or to get blown up trying. No, this is not a high rush video game. This is real life, as dangerous as it gets.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, Add to this FBI Agent, CIA Agent, Coal Miner, Construction Worker and anybody who works with heavy machinery and you've got enough danger to put a whole city in the hospital, or worse.

The professional networking site LinkedIn now has a new program that allows college students to explore career options as they enter the job market.
LinkedIn and PricewaterhouseCoopers U.S. collaborated to create Career Explorer, a program that finds job positions within a student's field of choice, charts a plan to achieve such positions based on the career paths of other LinkedIn users and lets students network with others in that specific field.
PwC is a company that is the largest employer of college graduates and works to help them develop their careers.
"We are dedicated to helping students find the right career path and build successful careers," said Paula Loop, U.S. and global talent leader for PwC. "In that effort, obviously social media is important and so we actually reached out to LinkedIn and started having this dialogue on how we can work jointly to come to the shared vision of helping students prepare for their future careers."
PwC is working with 60 schools, including USC, to incorporate the Career Explorer program. since its release, the Career Explorer function has gotten a fair amount of attention, Loop said.
"Students like it. they can really see what it can show them about their career and career options. I think it's getting a lot of good buzz," Loop said.
In addition to connecting students with professionals in their field through LinkedIn's network, the Career Explorer program helps to develop realistic expectations and goals by giving accurate descriptions and salaries of current jobs and by showing successful career paths of users, she said.
"It gives students an idea of what's out there and how they should go about it; how they should be thinking about their career," Loop said.
Although Career Explorer is especially targeted to college students' needs, the program can be used by people of all ages who are researching potential jobs.
"It's not specific to those in the business world. It's for anybody," Loop said. "From a broader scale, I think it would [be] a benefit to not only people that are considering what their major might be, so what university they might go to, [that has] to have that major and also certainly parents that want to help advise their children."
Leigh Schneider, a freshman majoring in theatre, said the Career Explorer function seemed like a good tool for students.
"You got to get yourself out there, and as a theatre major, we're told to go on different websites to network," Schneider said.
Because LinkedIn memberships are free, Schneider said she thought the Career Explorer program would be an easy way to advance career connections.
However, many other networks are available to students that might be better suited for particular fields, Schneider said. for her major, she has been referred to multiple other sites. As such, the new program might not have a dramatic effect across campus with other networking opportunities already in play.
"It's one way to get yourself out there, but it's not going to replace other ways," Schneider said.
PwC and LinkedIn are hosting an event on campus today to acquaint students with the new Career Explorer program and to help students with their career development in the Ballroom of the Ronald Tutor Campus Center at 11 a.m..

10.21.2004:Hillary Duff Armwrestling with Haylie Duff
from us magazine:
Brigante, her story "Sunday Reading"
Hi guys. I'm Brigante. I'm a huge bodybuilder and professional wrestler. I'm so stacked. I'm so impressive to look at. Want to take a look at me? I have the hardest biceps you have ever seen. My biceps are rock hard. They're seventeen inches and I have such a glorious peak right on my bicep and my arms are so strong. You should see how vascular they are. My arms look as though I have vines running through them.
I wrestle men for a living. I work for a service that has demands for muscular women. The men that I come into contact with all have fantasies about strong women. So, I'm going to tell you about my wrestling techniques and some of the experiences I've had with several clients. My favorite technique is what I call a surprise. This is when I arrive at the meeting place at least a half hour before my client arrives.I'll usually hide in a closet, and peek through the closet doors. Once I see that my client is stripped down to his shorts, I jump out at him and wrestle him to the ground. You should see the look on my clients' face when this happens. They are usually horrified and scared to death at first. Then they get into it.I like to wear my dark hair wild when I meet with my clients. I wrestle them in my animal print posing suit to give my clients the feeling that they are my prey. Once I wrestle my clients to the ground, I start by slipping them in a number of holds. My best is the head scissor.

Arm Wrestling history
Check out this free armwrestling video click here
"In arm wrestling, it is not the strength of your arm that is most important but rather how you use your body to create leverage that counts. Strength is important, but so are speed and technique. Proper technique starts the moment you step up to the table. History: Various forms of arm wrestling have been very common throughout the world. A painting of what appears to be an arm wrestling contest is found in an Egyptian tomb dating to about 2,000 B. C. The modern sport is based on a Native American game. In fact, it was usually called "Indian wrestling" when practiced by frontiersman during the 19th century and by children in the 20th century. In addition to what has become known as arm wrestling, there are several other forms of "Indian wrestling." In one, the opponents stand facing one another, with the outer sides of their right feet set together and their right hands interlocked. The object is to throw the opponent off balance. In another, the opponents lie down with their near arms and near legs locked and each tries to force the other's leg down. In arm wrestling, which has now become a genuinely international sport, the opponents are seated at a table, facing one another. They lock their hands (usually the right hands, but there is now also left-handed competition), with their elbows firmly planted on the flat surface, and each attempts to force the other's arm down to the table.
In addition to being a semi-popular sport among high school and college students, arm wrestling was a tavern sport. The sport got a major boost from "Peanuts" cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1968. Schulz did a series of comic strips in which Snoopy was headed to Petaluma to try to win the championship. However, in the last strip, he was barred from competition because the rules require that you lock thumbs with your opponent and Snoopy had no thumb.

Just the other day, out of the blue, I came up with a new exercise. Well, it's actually a variation or improvement on an old exercise.
First I sat down in the floor with both feet on the ground and leaned back about 30 degrees. Then I grabbed a 12 lb. medicine ball and rotated the ball from side to side, while trying to minimize the actual twisting of my spine.
Keeping your chest or sternum up (back arched, not rounding forward) and minimizing the twisting of your spine is key to making this exercise safe (and more effective).
After my training partner and I each did one set, we couldn't believe how well it hit both the rectus abdominus (six-pack abs muscles) and the obliques (the muscles on the sides in the love handle area)! It's incredible! Sometimes I surprise even myself with the nifty tricks and modifications:)
Enjoy the video.
PS – I'm not sure why it sounds like I'm talking in a can. I'll try to fix that next time.

Once logged in the exam selection screen will show test for which a user is eligible along with a green arrow for "Start Exam" for those tests which have been paid for and a voucher entered. Also available is the Event ID/Voucher field. Remember that for every seat on subscription a voucher is provided for a test, this is where the voucher code should be entered.
Fig. 1- Tangix Testing Client Layout
Tangix will be used to display the questions and download the associated models. Models views and images displayed in the testing client can be zoomed in by simply clicking the image. To activate additional images click the thumbnail in the small filmstrip. The window will appear behind Solidworks if inactive and it is suggested, if possible, to utilize dual monitors to allow for concurrent viewing of Solidworks and the Tangix client. If windows must be stacked, and even if using dual monitors, realize the the Tangix client is SINGLE CLICK ACTIVATED. When clicking to activate the client it is thus very easy to accidentally change an answer on a multiple choice question.Back to CSWP Prep.

Mission objectives
Extravehicular Activities
One of the biggest challenges in astronaut training is learning how to perform tasks in low-gravity environments. Buoyancy, which is the ability of an object to float in liquid such as water, is the reason that aquanauts are able to simulate low-gravity. Normally, the crew members would be positively buoyant, meaning that they would float in the water. However, by wearing diving equipment and weighted backpacks, aquanauts are able to work on the ocean floor with only minimal positive buoyancy. This way, NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) missions can include practicing extravehicular activities (EVA) and imitate "spacewalks" to test concepts for mobility in low-gravity.
The NEEMO 15 mission provided crew members with multiple opportunities to interact with DeepWorker submersibles—one-seater submarines that are analogues for Space Exploration Vehicles. They collaborated together to test exploration, protocol and communications techniques in a Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) simulated environment.
Exploration Objectives
- Practice drilling threaded inserts (anchoring) on a simulated, hard asteroid surface;
- Use of navigation aids to determine the best methods for traversing asteroid surfaces;
- Collection of data;
- NEA communications delays will be invoked; various communications protocols will be evaluated;
- Continued assessment of EVA suit weight at various levels of simulated gravity;
- Incapacitated crewmember rescue at a variety of gravity levels;
- Assessment of Space Exploration Vehicle navigation aids;
- Test workability of Mission Control Center support.
Education and Public Outreach
- Engage students, educators and the general public in NEEMO activities via social media, interactive education events and media interaction.
Crewmember Health
Crewmember health is of utmost importance when planning for space exploration, especially for long-duration missions. Since the first NEEMO mission, a key focus for every aquanaut crew has been physiological and psychological health. Studies have included how their environment affects sleep and the body's immune system, growth of bacteria within the habitat, nutrition and exercise-related studies.
In addition, coping with medical emergencies without a hospital or trained doctor can be a difficult and dangerous task. Aboard the Space Station and during long-duration missions in the future, crew member health and mission success may depend on the crew's ability to deal with emergencies without the help of a doctor. Because of its physical and psychological isolation on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean, Aquarius provides the most accurate stresses needed to validate new telemedicine in an extreme environment.

Architect Designed Reclaimed Timber Furniture Handmade in North Tipperary, Ireland |

Image 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | ||||||||
Carver1 The chair, which surely must classify as one the most uncomplicated of all human artifacts, has two simple tasks to perform to succeed in its existence. Firstly it must maintain a level platform above the adjacant terrain and secondly it must be capable of supporting the posterior of one or occassionlly several individuals of varying age and weight. Perhaps it is because of its simplicity that the rethinking of the chair can prove so arduous for designers. It could be compared to the challenges posed by a green field site for architects in that the initial creative freedom can easily result in a paralysis of productivity. For this reason we love restrictions and doubt if we ever could have finalised a design if it weren't for the fact that we limited ourselves the dimensions afforded us by reclaimed timber floor boards. Working with a simple construction logic of halving joints and spliced boards our chair practically designed itself. Some curves have been included to aid ergonomics but no energy intensive processes such as steaming or laminating were used. The end result is a sturdy, comfy seat guaranteed to stand the test of time. Ingredients: Available Finishes: 2.Clear Lacquer Available Sizes:

SmartWool Trekking Heavy Crew Sock
This product is awesome and I will purchase more when I get the money.
My two sons both work outside and these socks are so wonderful that they want more of them.

A comfort sock I will buy again
Love these socks. I will purchase these socks again. Price is a bit steep but seems to
have the value.
January 15, 2015
This product has great quality.
The Heavy Crew sock is truly unique. Not only does it ensure warmth outdoor, but also serves well indoors around the house.
May 7, 2014
outstanding product
Just what I was looking for. Thick, cushioned and the right calf length. I will buy more.

Keeps cold feet warm.
I don't do outdoor sports, or even go hiking. And I hate wearing shoes in the house. Don't even like slippers. But as I got older, being barefoot inside during winter became uncomfortable. My feet got cold. I tried other socks, but none seemed to work very well unless I doubled them up. That was bulky and uncomfortable. Then a young lady at the local Dick's sporting store recommended I try these. I tried a pair and they were perfect. So I ordered another two pair, and will eventually order more. I'm sure, no matter what sort of outdoor activity you engage in, these socks will keep you warm. And as another important plus, they wash and dry without any special handling.

kept pretty warm
Kept my feet warm out in the snow. After a couple hours my toes got a little chilled but not by much. Once I took off my boots they warmed up right away. Very good quality and good cushions in the soles.

Perfect Sock
I purchased 4 pairs of these socks for the entire family. Very warm, rather thick so our boots were a bit tighter than we would like but nonetheless warm and dry. Also, the top of the socks were a little tight around the calf. Just keep this mind when ordering.
February 15, 2014
Warm and comfortable
I work in a food processing plant. These socks are super for my feet in the cold environment. Keep feet warm and dry.
January 4, 2014
Great cold weather socks
These socks are really well made, and offer a great deal of padding and insulation. I walk and hike several miles per day, even in sub-zero winter and they keep your feet warm. The smartwool brand and these socks in particular never let me down. They do tend to get a bit fuzzy over time, and if you have thick calves they can be a bit tight at the cuff, but they fit me fine and im 250lbs.

SmartWool Trekking heavy crew sock
I have purchased these socks before and love the product. They are very comfortable. However, I was disappointed to discover that the socks appeared to have been tried on before having been sent to me. I assumed that any product shipped would be new.

From reading other posts you wrote, I feel the historic nature of the location as much as the house interests you. I am intrigued by the floor plan you found, and the actual photograph of the site prior to construction. I wish you well with this one. It looks promising and also to be a challenge. |
- Posted by slateberry51 (My Page) on Wed, May 12, 10 at 7:32
I share your preference for 19th century construction, but I can see the appeal of this place to you. If it is mid century done well, then I could go for it. Reminds me of our house search; everything we looked at was 100+ years old, except for one contemporary bordering conservation land. It would have been a challenge for me, I would have abandoned all my traditional fabrics and gone with really beautiful, modern prints. I could see a leaf motif happening there. And asian furniture. But it would have been an interesting challenge to decorate it in a way that fit the style of the house, and was within the bounds of my own taste/preferences. When I look at this floor plan, I love the way the dining room is open to the living room via the railing, and the way the levels are united. What a party house! I can see lots of mingling on those stairs. The windowless kitchen might be a dealbreaker for me. Also, is there attic storage? and where would you put your bicycle? In our first apartment, the only reasonable place to keep it (according to dh) was in front of the living room fireplace. Oh, how I hated that! I'm really glad we have a garage now; I can't imagine five bikes parked in our living room. |
Even though it is only 42 years old, it still has a very historic look (from the outside). And, although it's a younger house, it still deserves having someone take care of it with its history in mind, which you will obviously do. I love the late 1960's renderings- they are fantastic! If this is the right house for you, I hope that you get them framed and display them proudly. Please update after you've seen the house, I'd love to hear the next chapter! |

One of the shortcomings of the house is that is does not have a basement, only a small utility area. Its likely that I would reconfigure the kitchen to open it to the dining room so its possible I could push things forward and get some more utility storage. There is no attic. Most houses here have flattish roofs and no real attic space. I do have some here and I think I could do without it. Its too easy to stuff something up there and forget about it. I have only owned apartments so I am used to no basement and some other elements lacking compared to a house...this type of property seems to be a transition between the two. In terms of furnishings, I think I have lucked out. Most of my upholstered stuff is 1960s-70s because it is plain and rectilinear and doesn't conflict with 1840 too much. I also have a number of MCM lamps, because I needed to scale to a 10 foot ceiling. I am supposed to look at it tomorrow. |
This layout isn't much different from what's being built now on constricted infill lots. It's best suited to the young(ish) and fit, with intact knees for all that climbing. It still beats five-storey walkups in NYC. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, May 12, 10 at 21:23
I live in a four story walk up with a raised basement and 14-12-10-8 ceilings. I walk up about 52 steps to my door and then there is a flight of stairs in the apartment. Everything is vertical here. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Wed, May 12, 10 at 22:27
A 16' lot isn't that constricted around here, its pretty standard. I am not looking at this one, but there is a house that is on a 12' x 80' lot. That means the inside is maybe 10'6" There is parking at the back so the house looks to be about 12'x 60' --somehow the interior has 1980 sq feet. |

We are looking at white shaker lower mid-range full overlay cabinets (Schuler/Medallion, Thomasville, Kraftmaid) and well as custom all with plywood boxes and furniture ends. Is the a difference between manufactures in their paint quality and techniques? I have heard conflicting information on all wood shaker door versus MDF/veneer doors as far as which look better painted. Any feedback or advise would be appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not an expert, but I do plan on having painted cabinets, although not shaker door, mine will be custom site built cabinets. At first I priced all wood doors, but my cabinet guy told me if I was positive I wanted to paint them that the MDF doors would paint out much better than solid wood. I don't see why he would be dishonest about that, the wood bid was more, which would have been more money for him. I'm going with MDF. |
MDF has no grain to possibly show through. If your maker lets you pick paint, I strongly suggest using BM's Cabinet Coat brand. They've recently purchased this brand and it is fantastic. It's specifically made for woodwork and trim, and dries hard as an absolute rock. Having painted and repainted my cabinets a couple times, I can tell you this stuff is tough. That's all I have to offer. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 14:01
A factory finish uses catalyzed opaque varnish, not paint. It's much much tougher. MDF or furniture board is more stable with the swings of normal humidity. You will still get "beauty marks" telegraphing the join between the stiles and rails, but not between the panels. I've got a couple of pics I'll upload about what real wood does in winter. Let me find them. |
LWO. I wasn't thinking. Of course, catalyzed varnish. When someone site builds, how do they do that? |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 15:03
CEF, the answer is that site built and finished can't. It doesn't approach shop built and finished, which doesn't approach factory built and finished. Someone who is very careful, and cares to take the time, like you, can get a very good quality "home" paint finish on cabinets by doing the correct prep and using high quality products. If a production carpenter were doing the same, you couldn't afford his cabinets. Here's what solid wood does in winter. Especially with no humidity control. The dark wood is a reverse raised panel, so the center panel is solid wood, as are the stiles and rails. The second door shown is a center MDF panel in a painted cabinet. What you also see in this example is that the joins at the stiles and rails are also pretty inconspicuous, but not invisible. It's because the swelling and contracting of the center panel also puts a bit of stress on the stiles and rails. Now, this is my premium cabinet line, (Dynasty) and this is after an entire year in my showroom with a bit more temperature fluctuations and humidity fluctuations that I would like. It's basically a warehouse situation, not someone's home. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 15:05
And for good measure, here's what a solid raised panel looks like in my medium grade line. The glaze disguises most of the line from the wintertime shrinkage, but it's still there if you look closely. Also, this is the difference between a stick and cope door, and a mitered door. You will notice that the join on a mitered door is much more visible after a year's normal swelling and shrinking. |
Wonderful comparison! I've never worried about weather weathering -- you get me!:) I kinda like the worn look. However, given the fact I'm making cabinet doors this very second on my MBR floor, I find this particularly interesting and gratifying. I'm using 1/2" MDF as my base, with the wood trim that will be on the doors 1/4" to bring my doors to 3/4". They fit my face frames beautifully! I'm copying this door, but not mitering. I'm dong it square. I don't know what it's called, but the stiles run up and down the full length of the door, then the rails are fitted in between those pieces. For some reason this, along with another style I'm figuring out how to make just speaks to me. Wanna see? Oh - and I'm painting with STIX and Cabinet Coat! :) /End ;hijack The OP has some good questions. How does one know the quality of the finish? Does this catalyst finish also hinge upon the paint? Or does the finish process negate that issue? |
Hmm...so is there anything specifically that would make a Medallion/Schuler painted door stand out as far as finish compared with say a Kraftmaid door if they are both the same wood type and paint process? I hear/read the Medallion/Schuler's paint finish is really nice compared with others but am trying to figure out why. Any opinions are greatly appreciated! |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Wed, Feb 19, 14 at 18:55
I can't comment on Medallion, but I do have a painted Kraftmaid cabinet in my bathroom and all of the doors/drawer fronts had to be replaced within a very short time because the paint peeled off of all the edges. And they all need to be replaced again but I am too inconvenienced (lazy?) to call them. The paint on the cabinet itself has held up fine. The room is well-ventilated and I don't allow steam to build up in there. The doors/drawer fronts are solid Maple wood. |

Hello Members, I am having a site website design, It is meant for designing, and redesigning for customer websites and making them visible in search engines. Kindly give your reviews regarding its services(I should include), Appearance, Navigation, i.e. overall. I am going to redesign it, only it will be your suggestion which will help me to make it awesome.Thanks in advance. I also request our moderators to give their valuable feedback.
Whoa. Maybe a different person would have a different reaction, but my first reaction to the site was, "WTF?!? Is this the web design site from the review, or a marketing site, or a linkfarm, or what?" You've got a very sophisticated, video-laden version of mystery meat navigation going on. In fact, the whole front page seems to be a meth lab of design features -- neato-keeno jQuery effects here, fancy faux-HTML 5 wraparounds there, a bunch of different fonts, little boxes that leap open and closed, etc. Again, it may just be my preferences and perceptions, but the site gives me of being hyperactive, hyperkinetic, diffuse, and unfocused.
I also have a big issue with a design firm's main page being written with a transitional doctype and still having 40 validation errors.
Interesting design but a little complex really what does this site do its not apparent on first few seconds
For a quick glance, I have absolutely no idea what this website is trying to tell me, and most people aren't going to have the patience to try to figure it out.
You're definitely going for the kitchen sink here. There are some interesting functions in the navigation, but it's hard to parse out what's going to fly open, what's a button, etc.
Your backpages are a little bit better, but I don't get much of a sense of cohesion throughout the site. It seems like there's a lot of different styles here, and its more than a little overwhelming.
You've also got a lot of copy, especially on your various services pages. I just don't think people are going to read through all that stuff. I'd go through and streamline, cutting probably 2/3rds or so of the text and making the remaining copy clearer and more focused.
Wow ... I am really impressed. Specific and very unusual design ... clean, clear and undestandable! Colors and layouts are perfect. May be someone say there too many jquery o something like that - but I really think everything looks very proffessional!Best regards,Fokebox
Great, I was expecting the similar feedback, can any one give me idea for designing its- "call for action"
It's very very busy. I would focus on a few key elements that you want to have the visitor see.The rest is collateral.
As far as overall style it's ok but you seem to use a lot of different styles (WP style in the header, different cartoon styles here and there, pictures...)I would pick one style and stick with it. Just text and photo's seems most professional to me.
My first impression was that it is almost "hyperactive". I couldn't settle on one thing to focus on ... definitely too much going on on the home page. Having said that, I really like the choice of colours and the clean look it gives the site. Very important ... please slow down the testimonials. I am a fast reader and I only got through a third of a testimonial before it transitioned to the next one. I found this very frustrating and gave me the feeling that I really didn't want to look any further, but I wanted to leave the site right away.
It's a bit messy with too many types of navigation but I really like the "accordion" navigation at the bottom
Very busy but creative. I really like the Design but honestly it was not easy to understand what services your actually providing. I feel like you should highlight this. A "call to action" could be something like:
You could throw in words like Inspired, Innovative, Smart, Intuitive, Constant, In Demand, Premier, Premium, Strategic, Performance, Progress, Trend, Select, Creative, Priority, Effective, Quality, Vision.
Just a thought
At first glance I was very unsure where to read or click. Its a bit overwhelming. I do like the hover animations though but Im thinking they can be incorporated in a way that is less stressful on the eye.
I have made few changes: Kindly check http://www.cbil360.com/index2.html and now tell me is it giving clear picture about website?
hey very nice website...i disagree with the posts above...it is different from others and looks very good and little bit of changes here and there will make wondersContact form could have been better....you could go for a standard from with message included in it....make the width of chat, phone blocks etc 3/4 of the width of the website and include contact from in the remaining 1/4 width...Now the contact form goes unnoticeable...Just a suggestion
Sophisticated website.
However, there is a little confusion over the navigation links that appears after your top banner. Nice looking though, hence you may consider adjusting position of links to differentiate one from another.
Your contact on the top is over-sighted. Make it prominent to encourage your visitors to reach you more effectively.
You got nice design for your web site... using video on home page it is still faster loadinggood work
Hey, just saw your site and was very intrigued by it. You simply did not hesitate to break some rules. But it brings some problems along with it. Here's my breakdown:
Hope it's not too heavy, first time commenter =]
It's too complex to meI'm confuse about the navigationToo many type of fontsPoint is....I'm confuse Where should I go ??
Being an webdesign company you should first give importance to your sites design which is not so attractive. Try changing the template.
I was immediately lost also, need to simplify!

Hi, I�m having some problems with a bonsai I own, for starters I don�t know which kind of bonsai it is (the name of the actual plant ) and besides its leaves seem dry but they�re not and they have some red/brown colouring that does�t seem healthy at all. Any advice appreciated , THX . |
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks like it might be commonly called dwarf brush cherry, formerly Eugenia myrtifolia, now classified widely as Syzgium paniculatum. To help you, we'd need more info ..... like a description of your watering/fertilizing habits, where you live, plant indoors or out, how much light it gets, and anything else you can think of that would be helpful. Odds favor over-watering or an accumulation of soluble salts in the soil solution - but that's just the odds. Al |

Phish turns 1STBANK Center into a steam bath on first night of three-night stand - 10/10/10
10.10.10 | 1STBANK Center
One night after the Fourmile Canyon Benefit warmed up the 1STBANK Center, Phish turned the arena into a steam bath. The band took the stage just after eight, and aside from two suites that were going unused, the 6,500 seat arena was crammed. The band opened up the first set (and their fall tour) with "Chalkdust Torture," with the entire arena singing along with the chorus "Can't this wait 'till I'm old, can't I live while I'm young" -- sadly appropriate for those of us who had to get up and go to work today.
The group then flubbed its way through "Ocelot", a slinky, blues-funk number off of its last release, Joy, before getting the room cooking with the eerie "It's Ice," adding a more worked section after the musical "fall-though-the-ice" segment in the middle of the song, before drummer Jon Fishman kicked it back into gear. Boyd Fletcher
Keyboardist Page McConnell was strong through the first set, but really let loose in "NICU" - tearing up the electric organ on the uptempo ska tune until Anastasio ripped into the porno-funk of "Moma Dance." As the masses around the arena shook their asses to the Mike Gordon's thumping bass lines, light designer Kris Kuroda swirled colors and patterns around the arena.
The band seemed to really slide into "Stash" well, with Anastasio nailing the intricate composed lead into the song and taking the band along with him as he shifted keys briefly at the end of the tune before unfortunately abandoning the change and possible extended jam for the ending buildup that led into "Golgi Apparatus" to end the set. As a whole, the set was solid and had some clear highlights - but aside from solid playing by the entire band, most of the songs stayed relatively standard.
During the thirty-minute set break, I meandered around in a daze trying to find a place to cool off. Despite the cold rain and fall weather outside the venue, inside was more like a steam bath. Strangely, the east side of the venue was cooler than the west side - something I discovered while suite hopping. Downstairs, the packed hallways were crowded with sweaty bodies as steam mixed with errant pot smoke creating a muggy, thickness.
Police and fire crews wandered through the crowd the entire night, and aside from seeing one kid clearly too spun on chemicals being dragged through the hallway, there didn't seem to be any other big issues. Now and then security would shine flashlights up into the isles at people dancing, but most eventually gave up by the end of the show.

The previous forecast for their end of year fiscal by Capcom has been more-or-less on the money (no pun intended). An profit of £19.42 million was posted, which is down 52% year-on-year.
Resident Evil 6 "did not meet" their expectations with sales at 4.9 million, falling short of the 7 million they hoped for. DmC: Devil May Cry enjoyed "stable popularity" overseas, with no total sales mentioned.
Euro PSN content for the week features free Mass Effect 3 on PSN Plus
Sony has revealed this week's PlayStation Network content for European gamers, including some of the PSN Plus deals. Notably, PSN Plus Euro gamers can get Mass Effect 3 free, along with Mass Effect 2 for 10% off, presumably to celebrate the release of the Citadel DLC.
Black Ops 2, Xbox 360 lead US sales in January
The NPD Group has revealed the top selling games for January 2013, which was led by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, continuing its domination of the market.
Furthermore, the Xbox 360 led for the 25th straight month with 281,000 unit sales. Neither Sony nor Nintendo revealed their hardware sales for January, however.

I have a koa wood kitchen table that is getting gummy on top. Not sure what finish was put on it but it has several gummy spots and things stick to it. It also has cracks between the boards where caulk or something is chipping out. It is about 6 years old. Need advice on stripping, sanding or what to so to refinish and make this table look good and be able to be used by the family without worrying about homework sticking to the table. Wondering how to handle the cracks? Scrape out the stuff and leave them o fill with what? Any suggestions would be welcome. Please be detailed as I have never refinished wood before. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You should try to post a photo of the table. The first thing is to clean it. (Soap and water and/or mineral spirits) Next is to determine the existing finish or just go hell-bent and strip it. Try checking a small area on edge with de-natured alcohol to see if it removes the finish (I doubt if it will), if so it is shellac. Next try Lacquer thinner, if it comes off, it is lacquer. (most likely). More importantly, initially, I'd try to determine what's going on with the joinery. "caulk or something is chipping out" is not normal. Are the joints tight or open? And you're sure this is solid Koa? |

Funcom is celebrating the Week of the Templars; a full week of focus on the Templars secret society, one of three secret societies represented in the upcoming, MMORPG The Secret World.
The Templars are the most traditional and uncompromising of the three in-game secret societies; based in London, the focus of the Templars is their crusade against darkness.
Going behind the scenes of the Templars secret society is both exciting and revealing; remarkably little is known about the inner workings of this organization despite its well known public image, Says Ragnar Tørnquist, Senior Producer and Director for The Secret World. Uncompromising and fiercely brutal, the Templars is an organization with a single goal; to eradicate evil no matter how long it takes them. This is a great opportunity to shed some light on this secret society.
