We are looking at a $10K difference in our kitchen between Custom vs. Semi Custom/Stock Cabinets. Can you educate me on the pros & cons of each? We are not building a McMansion or anything but it is a custom home with a budget that needs to be rationalized. Thanks for any feedback. |

Custom vs Semi/Stock for me has only three differences. First, custom should have a unified face frame, the only joint in the wood is the vertical stile attaching to the horizontal stile. Second, the ability to use every little bit of space by odd/unique cabinets. And Third, the use of any material, color/stain and door profiles imaginable. I understand in re-models of small/odd kitchens, there is value in custom cabinets. But most new builds will be just fine with semi custom in my opinion. Brian |

A lot of cabinet decisions have (or should have) to do with the actual style and design of the cabinent. For example, is "flush overlay" being considered? That's where only the door/drawer fronts are visible and the face frame and boxes cannot be seen. On the other hand, exposed frame cabinets have the face frame visible between doors and drawer faces. Flush frame cabinets are those with the face of doors and drawers flush with the surface of the face frame. There's lot more to cabinets than the style of the doors and drawers! Hope this helps. |
It would help to know if 10k is 10% of your budget or 100% of your budget. I opted for custom cabinets and they were about 20% more than wood-mode and the final result is amazing. |
My DH has cabinet-building skills. We have built several homes and usually purchased the cabinets for self-install. I like the "furniture" baked-on finish of the commercial cabinets. |
Posted by milz50 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 5, 12 at 15:51 It would help to know if 10k is 10% of your budget or 100% of your budget. I opted for custom cabinets and they were about 20% more than wood-mode and the final result is amazing. $10K would be ~30% of our total cabinet allowance. I don't doubt what you see in quality but I wouldn't know what to look for besides the obvious being pointed out to me. |

We got the same type of quote for our kitchen. There is a $10K difference between custom and semi-custom. This was for an apples to apples comparison: same hinges, same thickness of plywood in bases, same number of drawers, same drawer slides. I think we'll go with the semi-custom. Stock cabinets come in sizes that are multiples of 3", 9", 12", 15"...60", etc. When your kitchen has an inch or two space, they have matching spacers that fill in those spaces and look like extensions on the cabinets. The factor I'm concerned about it the color of the stain. Most semi/custom stock will stain certain colors with or without glazes. If you want a certain stain color, they may not be as flexible as your custom cabinet guy. Another factor in durability is how long the shelf run is and how thick it is. Without good support, a long run will sag in the short term; a thinner shelf sags sooner. I will probably order a door from each before I make my decision. I ordered one door awhile back; when it got here, I realized the cherry wood the cabinet company was using wasn't top quality. A great installer with an eye for detail is what makes ordinary cabinets shine. My son just had a bottom of the line series installed. We had them put plywood in the bottom of the sink base instead of particle board. They look high end because they go to the ceiling, there is a nice crown molding up there, and he doesn't have low end knobs. They are just a builder grade cabinet with a dark stain over birch. They won't last as long, but he doesn't need them to. My builder cabinets I have now are 20yo and are just starting to show their wear. The funny thing is that my sister who is married to a contractor and have built their own houses with custom cabinets thought I had a custom job. No, I just had an installer who takes pride in his work, cabinets that went up to the ceiling, and plywood panels installed on unfinished sides. I guess my conclusion is that I'd go with the customized in-stock cabinets and save the $$$. |

The one thing about semi-custom is that you are dealing with a large corporation - for good and bad. Warranty coverage is a bit more reliable if the company is larger - that being said my semi-custom company went out of business about a year after building..... But haven't needed anything yet either (3.5 years) There are a lot of semi-custom options now that can get very expensive. I think the whole difference is hard to compare to someone else's experience. Sometimes custom is not that much more expensive. Comparing good custom to a cheap semi-custom is not particularly fair. I personally see no significant advantage to custom if you can find a style/quality that you like in semi-custom as long as your space is pretty standard. |

There are custom site built cabinets that are pretty horrible quality and are an abuse of the word "custom", and there are actual custom shop built cabinets that can be pretty darn great and that you can specify the exact wood, exact door profile, reveal, and any other detail that you might be interested in. The former are as cheap as they come, but mask themselves as being "custom" so have a huge markup for the builder. The latter will be more expensive than most manufactured cabinets. Neither will ever have a top coat that will be as durable as manufactured cabinets. Manufactured cabinets will be able to be found at all price points and customization levels. The poor quality on the shelf that you find at a box store is "stock", as well as several lines that do "just in time" production, but only in certain sizes. Semi custom offer the ability to customize some details, like cabinet depth, or to finish the interior to match for glass. Fully custom lines like Omega will do anything your heart desires, from using the wood from an old tree on your property to making your 3'x 8' island all one piece rather than different pieces joined together. And all of the decent quality manufactured cabinets will come with a two part catalyzed varnish that even the top custom cabinet shops won't be able to produce. Look up KCMA wear testing and you'll see what I'm talking about. Life time warranties. Ask any site builder or shop builder how long they are willing to warranty their product and if they would warranty it to KCMA specs. The good quality makers will at least give you 5 years of warranty, but will give you the "look of death" if you ask them about the cabinet standing up to alcohol or mustard, or being opened and closed 25,000 times. |

There are many answers to this, and many differing opinions. Try posting this same query over at the Kitchens forum for lots more input. |
- Posted by virgilcarter (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 12 at 18:49
I'm wondering if it's understandable that the design and style of cabinetry should be consistent with the design and style of one's house? There are all sorts of design and quality options out there for cabinets, from Home Depot to Crown Point to locally built. What's important is to match design, style and quality of cabinetry with one's house. Quality cabinets can be designed (in a factory or on-site) as flush overlay, exposed frame or flush frame. They can be painted or stained. They can be trimmed or trimless. The options are endless and nonsensical, until one understands and coordinates them with the overall design and character of one's home! For example, a Colonial-style house will have completely different cabinetry than, say, a modern, or craftsman, or whatever style home. It's not about how the cabinets are made; it's not about the style of the doors and drawers--it's about the style and character of the home. Once one understands and has a compatible style in mind that fits the style of the house, then one can reasonably shop the options for where and how the cabinets are made. Just a thought! |
I'd make sure that the hardware is high end. Because having high end cabinets and the cheapest drawer slides (as I have seen several times in Dallas) is not a good trade-off. |

When Charles O'Neill first arrived in the United States from Liverpool, England at the age of 23, he helped raise money for his shipmates who could not afford health insurance.
Today, O'Neill, of Howard Beach, is helping the Autism Society of America Foundation raise $10 million for research into the causes, treatments and cures for autism.
The non-profit organization will host Cycle USA (to Understand & Solve Autism), which will be the first nationwide event specifically dedicated to raising funds and raise consciousness for autism.
According to O'Neill, who has helped raise funds for the race, Cycle USA will consist of two bike riders who will trek from New York City to San Diego, which is a distance of 7,000 miles through 48 cities.
He will accompany the riders, one of whom is from Canada and the other is from the United Kingdom, in a van for three months.
"I feel very strongly about this," he said. "I have always had a talent for raising funds. This is why I do this now."
Aside from raising funds from different corporations around the world, O'Neill has obtained a painting of the British rock group, The Beatles, for the surviving band members to sign.
Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison have already agreed to sign it, as well as the sons of the late John Lennon, O'Neill said.
The painting will be given to the Autism Society of America Foundation, which will auction it and use the proceeds for Cycle USA.
While the federal goverment spends approximately $16 million for research through the National Institute of Health, O'Neill said that is not enough money to find the best treatment for autism.
O'Neill wanted to get involved with raising money for autism after a traumatic incident in his family.
His sister died a few years ago at the age of 43. She had organized centers in England on research concerning the cause of autism.
His sister also left behind a son, who suffers from autism. Part of the reason why O'Neill is helping the organization to raise funds is to honor the memory of her sister as well as encouraging his nephew.
Cycle USA will hosts a fundraiser on the day before the race on Sunday, March 25th at Dantes Catering Hall at LaGuardia Airport from 7 to 10 p.m.

By Vicky Boyd, Editor
Will Hyatt, owner of Hyatt Farms near Lake Wales, says he's still an infant when it comes to learning the benefits of a global positioning system, since he just acquired the technology last fall.
Already, though, the producer of vegetables and citrus says he has experienced increased efficiency during land leveling and marking beds.
"The great thing about it is the fuel savings," Hyatt says of marking vegetable beds. His beds are on 6-foot centers, and he marks four per pass.
"Before, we had to put our tractor tire back in the plow row to keep the distance right. We were only making two new rows per pass. Now we're getting four rows. With the GPS, we just line up the tractor 6 feet from the last plow mark. It cuts your time in half."
Hyatt bought the unit originally for its land leveling capabilities. He had been hiring a firm to custom laser level his ground, but found he was on the bottom of the priority list.
Rather than pay someone else and be tied to their schedule, Hyatt says he decided to make the investment so he could level his ground when he needed to.
Aaron Troyer, general manager of Troyer Brothers Farms near Ft. Myers, also has experienced increased efficiency. For about two years, the operation has been using GPS lightbars on two tractors for field mapping and herbicide spraying.
"When you have larger fields and you have no references, you can kind of wander and meander," Troyer says of the sprayers.
Before, he says, it wasn't unusual to have 30 percent to 40 percent sprayer overlap. With the GPS units, that's been cut to 5 percent to 10 percent.
"You can save on costs [of herbicide] 15 to 20 percent," he says.
GPS gains popularity
Hyatt and Troyer are two of an untold number of producers in the state who have adopted the satellite-guided technology.
Reza Ehsani, an assistant professor of agricultural and biological engineering at the Citrus Research and Education Center in Lake Alfred, says he doesn't know how many growers in Florida use GPS. But he says he'd like to conduct a survey to gauge adoption of the technology.

Ok this one is a Gymno x bred of some kind, that I bought from a nursery. It is a nice clumper, but the flowers are coming out malfunctioned. This is all they are opening up to look like...almost crested looking flowers. The older blossom looks like there are actually 3 flowers in one bud, yet this is as far as it has ever opened, before closing up for good. This second one has never opened up any further yet. Will take photo when or IF it does.

In the entire world, 43 tulip books are known to exist. They are all manuscripts, made by different illustrators, and therefore unique. Of these books, 34 were made in the Netherlands during the first half of the seventeenth century. This period saw a rapid development of the range of cultivated tulip varieties. 'Broken' tulips, showing a flame pattern, were all the rage. We now know that these patterns were the result of a viral infection. Speculation rose in the year 1637 to an extent that bulbs were sold faster than they could grow. Prices spiraled to a ridiculous level for bulbs of which neither buyer nor seller had seen the flower. This tulipomania got out of hand so badly that bulb growers themselves asked the government to ban the trade.
The Special Collections of Wageningen UR Library has one of the rarest of these tulip books. The tulip book of nurseryman P. Cos of Haarlem is a manuscript nursery catalogue of tulips and a small number of other flowers, published in 1637. In comparison with other tulip books, this one is special because not only their names are mentioned, but also their weight and the price for which each bulb was sold.

In UAW v. Johnson Controls, 499 U.S. 187 (1991), the Supreme Court held that sex discrimination laws prohibited employers from making decisions about fetal safety that took the choice to work in dangerous conditions away from pregnant women. Still, even though the Supreme Court held that "Decisions about the welfare of future children must be left to the parents who conceive, bear, support, and raise them rather than to the employers who hire those parents," and the Supreme Court rejected the idea that civil liability could be an issue for such employers, state courts are still holding employers liable when women claim their unborn children suffered injury while they were working. Michael Starr and Christine Wilson look at the issue in the October 29 National Law Journal.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't: "Fetal Injury at Work"

I can't read the article from that link.
Could the distinction be one of disclosure? I.e., are the more-recent state court plaintiffs arguing that, while the Johnson Controls plaintiffs knew the risks of their job, the later state cases involve circumstances where the fetal risks were not adequately disclosed to the pregnant workers?

In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be living it up in beautiful South Dakota. The occasion: my new grandma-in-law's octogenarian birthday and combination family reunion. I hear there will be picnics and jet skis involved.
I am petrified.
But Andrea, how can you be petrified when there are jet skis involved, you ask? Well first off, I'm afraid of watercraft, so there's that. But there's also the fact that these jet skis belong to my new-in-law family, and what am I supposed to do around these perfectly nice, terrifying people for three whole days in beautiful rural South Dakota? Also, "beautiful rural South Dakota" is a few kinds of redundant, right? Keep reading »

Sasha Grey Unveils New Ad at Adult Entertainment Expo
Adult film star Sasha Grey knows that when animals are involved, you should always say "No" to sex. That's why she's baring it all in PETA's newest ad, which the porn legend and star of Steven Soderbergh's critically acclaimed The Girlfriend Experience unveiled after delivering the keynote speech today at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
Grey is urging everyone to help curb the companion animal overpopulation crisis by spaying and neutering their dogs and cats in order to prevent pregnancies. Each year, up to 8 million dogs and cats wind up in U.S. animal shelters, and about half of them must be euthanized because of a lack of suitable homes. "I think spaying and neutering is incredibly important," said Grey. "[I]t keeps the animals out of the shelters and there's too many unwanted animals out there already." Um, I know it's only been a week, but can I make a nomination for PETA's Woman of the Year for 2010?

Development Team Leaders
An eight-person team is directing OLPC's development of the $100 Laptop. They are:
- Nicholas Negroponte, chairman and co-founder of the MIT Media Lab, a recognized authority on information technology and author of Being Digital, which has been translated into more than 40 languages, whose family name is familiar to those outside technology fields because his brother is the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations
- Joseph Jacobson, a physicist and professor at the MIT Media Lab, as well as inventor of low cost "electronic ink" displays which is one of the display technologies being considered for the $100 laptop
- Seymour Papert, professor emeritus at the MIT Media Lab, who is an early pioneer of artificial intelligence and one of the world's leading theorists on child learning
- Alan Kay, creator of the Smalltalk language at Xerox PARC and credited as the "father of personal computing," who conceived basic definitions of the laptop and tablet computer platforms, and was a key architect of the windowing GUI, and whose pioneering work in computers has often been influenced by his interest in children and education
- Mary Lou Jepsen, a leader in display technology, former CTO in Intel's display division and now CTO of OLPC
- V. Michael Bove, Jr., a principal research scientist at the MIT Media Lab, who developed groundbreaking research in video compression
- Mitchel Resnick, professor of learning research at the MIT Media Lab and co-founder of the worldwide network of Computer Clubhouses for children
- Ted Selker, MIT Media Lab professor and inventor of numerous patents for products ranging from notebook computers to operating systems
Corporate sponsors
Five corporations have joined the development project and also provided a first round of funding for project development: AMD, Brightstar, Google, News Corp, and Red Hat. Three other corporate partnerships are "lurking."
AMD makes microprocessors and is the leading competitor to Intel. In October 2004 it announced a corporate initiative, 50x15, to foster wide adoption of technology by providing 50 percent of the world's population with Internet connectivity and computing capabilities by 2015. Brightstar provides supply chain management and wireless products to the wireless telecommunications industry in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in the United States. The search engine company Google, whose motto is "Do No Evil," is building a stable of products providing information over the internet. Chris DiBona, Google's open source program manager, likes the idea of thin-client office programs. At the end of September Google also offered to provide free Wi-Fi to San Francisco and is rumored to have much wider interests. News Corp provides satellite TV service in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North and South America. Red Hat is a leading developer of the Linux operating system and software.

Same story, at least partially. Download sources for Xerces-J. Read README, which tells me I need the tools. Download the tools. Extract "in the same directory." What does that mean? Read build.sh.

The simple fact is that I can pick up any of the binaries and they will almost certainly run without problems.

Yesterday at all three Vintage Faith Church worship gatherings, we started our new series called "Awaken". This is a series which is going to teach through some of the last days of Jesus before He was crucified and resurrected. We will be primarily walking through Matthew's account and Luke - and will be teaching through the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter's denial of Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection appearance of Jesus on the road to Emmaus.
Our church has a mix of people who have heard this story multiple times if they have grown up in a church as well as those who are hearing about it for the first time. But whatever it is, we want to try and catch people up into this incredible story of Jesus' last days. I was recently speaking at a conference with Ralph Winter who is the producer of all the X-Men movies and the Star Trek films and I had the great opportunity to learn from him about films and stories. He said something that stuck in my head (amongst many things) is that for the blockbuster movie The Titanic, people didn't go see that film wondering what was going to happen to the ship. We all knew the ship sinks before we go. But the film was powerful because it drew people into the story.
With "Easter" (and I explained the origin of that word and why the name of mythological goddess is used generally for Resurrection Sunday) – there is tremendous story of Jesus as He "awakened" His disciples (thus the name of the series) to what His story, purpose, who He really was and what their mission would be. So we intentionally are trying to teach this in a way of drawing them into the story – even though, the ending – the resurrection, is generally known.
So as I prepped and our teaching team met, it was thought what better way then to teach about the Last Supper, then to recreate it as we teach it. So we had the entire passage from Matthew read outloud by two people and then I asked for 13 people to come up on the stage and "recline" at the recreation of what a table and seating would have been for a Passover meal at that time. We went back to Exodus and taught about the original passover and Israel's rescue from Egypt and where the Passover meal originated.

Sometimes I know I date myself with some of my pop culture references, and yet I can help myself. The strange grinning man in the photo is 80's SNL character Ed Grimley and he love the triangle. This week, so do I.
For all the complaining NASCAR fans do about cookie cutter tracks, this has go to be one of the best stretches of the year. Dover last week, Pocono this week, Sonoma in two weeks. We are in the middle of a stretch that includes some of the sports most unique tracks.
This week's stop, Pocono, is one crazy track. It's like a road course and an oval in one. It has just three turns, and as a result just three straightawys.
"It's shaped like a triangle, but all three corners are different," said Paul Menard, who comes into the weekend ninth in points. "It has the longest straightaway in NASCAR, which is almost a mile long. The long straights, combined with the short, quick corners make for a huge RPM change, so we are set up to shift and use both third and fourth gears, if needed. It's like a three-cornered, left handed road course, making it a lot of fun to drive."
Fun to watch to. And drivers will tell you the recent repave has also made it more competitive. Not easy, but competitive.
"It's one of the most challenging, and really the hardest race track on our schedule before they paved it because of how bumpy it was and the multi-groove there and every corner was different," said four-time Pocono winner Denny Hamlin. "Now, it's just become one of those new asphalt, hard tire race tracks where track position is total key and you have to have the fastest car"
Hamlin is certainly one to watch in Pocono, with his four wins and all. Jeff Gordon is also trouble on the tricky triangle. He has five wins. Bobby Labonte has three Pocono wins, but none since 2001. Points leader Jimmie Johnson has won there twice as has Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, and Carl Edwards. Ryan Newman, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano each have a single win in Pennsylvania.
"We've won at Pocono; it's a fun race track and with the shifting it's a really tough race track it's almost like a road course," said Edwards. "It's really tough on the cars and it's a mentally challenging race track."

Dear Bankruptcy Adviser, In California, at the end of a foreclosure, what kind of mortgages require the borrower to repay any deficiencies? My understanding is the lender cannot require any deficiency payments on an original purchase loan, but they can on a refinance. -- Jim
Dear Jim , Great question. First of all, I need to say that my answer only pertains to situations in California. The reason is that the laws concerning deficiencies vary greatly from state to state. So if you're reading this column, you have a similar issue and you don't live in California, talk to an attorney in your state. Here's what's going on, Jim. As you know, when you initially purchase a home through a lender, you don't actually own the home outright. A purchase-money security interest is created, which allows you to purchase the property while the lender maintains an interest in your home until the mortgage is paid off. In general, a purchase money security interest is a security that a lender takes in property that secures payment with regard to those assets of all or part of its purchase price.
California affords homeowner protections when you first buy a house. One protection is that you can not be held accountable for a deficiency in case you default on the mortgage; but only when the original purchase-money security interest still exists. If you refinance, you are not creating another purchase-money security interest -- you are simply refinancing your debt. When do you, you are effectively waiving this protection -- usually without knowing it.
In the case of second mortgages or HELOCs (home equity lines of credit), California law does not protect the borrower from deficiency actions. There is still some question as to whether you create a purchase-money security interest when you buy a home, create a first and second mortgage simultaneously and then default on both mortgages.
However, lenders very rarely seek deficiency judgments in most foreclosure cases. Let's suppose you've refinanced and you do not have legal protection against a deficiency. To seek a deficiency, a lender must perform a judicial foreclosure. This requires all of the basic steps of a nonjudicial foreclosure (which we'll get to in a minute), but it must go through the courts. This means a whole extra layer of officials and paperwork and the time and expenditure that goes with it. The lender will only do this if the benefits outweigh the costs. What is the deficiency amount? What will be the out-of-pocket costs of collection and court costs to obtain the deficiency judgment? What is the likelihood that the judgment will actually be paid? As you can see, the deficiency would have to be significant and the lender would have to be reasonably sure that the borrowers, who are after all abandoning their home, would be able to pay. This is going to be a pretty rare situation. Thus, in California, the overwhelming proportion of foreclosures are accomplished nonjudicially. They cost less and take less time. In general, a nonjudicial foreclosure can be accomplished in slightly less than four months. It begins with recording a notice of default, which is filed with the county recorders office. This notice indicates that the lender has decided that the borrower cannot bring the mortgage current and officially makes the situation a public record. The lender must obtain a trustee's sale guarantee, mail copies of the notice of default, publish, post and record the notice of trustee's sale. This happens about three months after filing the notice of default. After the notice of trustee sale has been filed, the borrower has 20 days left before the foreclosure sale and usually five days to cure the default mortgage amounts. Otherwise, the trustee sells the property and records a trustee deed with the county recorders office. While this may seem like a long process, it is still cheaper and more efficient than a judicial foreclosure. Therefore, the lender is more likely to complete a nonjudicial foreclosure rather than incur the expenses of seeking a deficiency judgment against you.
Before the foreclosure sale, you have options. You can still sell the property, you can bring the mortgage current, you can negotiate a short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure with the lender or you can file for bankruptcy protection. If you file for bankruptcy you must file a Chapter 13, so that you can pay back the delinquent mortgage payments during the course of the bankruptcy payment period, usually three to five years.
Obviously, I cannot say with certainty that the lender will or will not seek a deficiency judgment against you. However, experience has shown that most lenders prefer to take the less costly path and file for a nonjudicial foreclosure so that they can sell the property and recover some of the remaining balance.

During October, I was visiting the website of Project Gutenberg, which makes available numerous formats of e-books for free. I discovered that there is an arm of the group which proofreads and formats the out-of-copyright materials so that Project Gutenberg can have great clean files to release.
And that is what I'm doing these days. I'm not the best at it, but I'm willing to learn. And as a bonus, I feel good about contributing to the common good. There is a LOT of good information AND literature, which needs to be available to everyone. I like to think of it as emptying the ocean one spoonful at a time. It can be done, if you have the patience and the determination. One page at a time too. You can read several books that way, a couple of pages here, a couple of pages there. I was visiting Project Gutenberg to look for a short story that I'd read originally back in the late 1950s or early 1960s, in a collection titled TALL SHORT STORIES. And this story was PIGS IS PIGS. It was hilarious, and I laughed until I cried, all by myself, that first time I read it. So when I found it at PG the other day, I downloaded it in Kindle format for my Kindle reader, and then read it to my DH.....as before, I was laughing so hard I was wiping tears from my eyes. He appreciated the humor of it, even though it is an old story. Sometimes you can read something which is indelibly imprinted on your mind, maybe your heart, and you never lose it. Literature is an important part of enriching our lives. If no other way for me to influence the future generations, I'd like to think that I helped bring literature to those busy little minds of the next Americans coming up. Heaven knows, they need to be educated or we'll cease to be the America our forefathers envisioned. |

This is another source of free online material in the public domain, but it is being read aloud, a recorded version. So here is the link to that one too. I'll have to explore this further, because I've been paying for Audible.com (owned by Amazon it seems), and would welcome a savings for that. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Librivox, spoken books free online

wow, I will have to tell DH about this, it is something he may enjoy. Proof reading for the good of everybody will be more rewarding to him than getting frustrated at Scrabble opponents who end the game just before he is about to win it, or playing against someone who knows how to make their scrabble clock run backwards (that really happened to him this weekend!). Thanks for the heads up, ML! |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Mon, Nov 14, 11 at 18:26
Nancy, I'm pleased that you have an interest in the topic. If your DH gets involved, it is sort of addictive. I've met so many nice people there in the last month. ALL over the WORLD too. I do not like to play online games, unless it is one person, me. I cannot imagine why someone playing would want to cheat in the first place! Is your DH enjoying his new music room? Is that sweet desk his playpen? And do you sit there on your loveseat or in the rocker, with a faint smile on your face, reading away and enjoying a cuppa tea? I think your new room will be the most pleasing one in the whole house, bar none. And that includes the kitchen....nice as it is, it is a utilitarian space. That music room is a space for the soul. |
That sounds interesting ML. I like to proofread, and that is the ONLY time it would be appreciated. lol |

The Advanced Degrees Program offers two post-ordination graduate degree programs over the summer. The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) program stresses developing competence in the practice of ministry, and requires four summers of study and a project. In addition to the regular D.Min., there are now two specialist tracks offered within this degree: the D.Min. in Liturgy and the D.Min. in Preaching. The Masters of Sacred Theology (S.T.M.) is an academic research program that also requires four summers of study and a thesis. In addition to the regular S.T.M., the Masters of Sacred Theology in Anglican Studies (S.T.M./A.S.) track provides the opportunity to acquire fuller mastery in that field and is suitable for those previously ordained in another denomination who plan to be ordained in the Episcopal Church. Courses for the S.T.M. can also be taken during the school year.
Generous financial aid is available to advanced degree (summer term) students for tuition. The School of Theology also welcomes special students, who are not necessarily seeking a degree, to participate in the summer session.
The faculty is made up of members of The School of Theology and faculty members from other theological schools (recently from Oxford, Harvard, Duke, and Emory). Consequently, the summer program has a more ecumenical flavor than the regular term and provides an educational opportunity in an atmosphere of diversity and scholarly depth. A more detailed description of the program may be found on our website at:
June 8–July 18, 2014
The School of Letters is a summer program in Literature and Creative Writing, offering the M.A. and the M.F.A. degree and designed to provide a graduate program of the best quality to students who have only summers to devote to study. Students must apply for admission. The faculty consists of Sewanee professors, from English and allied departments, and distinguished professors from other campuses. Taking a typical load of two courses per summer, students can complete either degree in five years. M.F.A. students must complete eight courses, half of them writing workshops, earning a grade of "B" or better, and then write a thesis to earn a final two course credits. M.A. students must also complete at least eight courses, including at least two in English literature, at least two in American literature, and at least one in non-English literature in translation. These students may earn their final two credits either by writing a thesis or by taking additional courses. The program runs for six weeks each summer, from early June through mid-July. The website
provides more information.

Berries remain at the top of retail sales trends, thanks to several marketing techniques, including cross-promotions.
Watsonville, Calif.-based California Giant Berry Farms tries to take advantage of consumer impulse buys.
"Primarily, berries are purchased on impulse when consumers see them in the produce department at their local store. It is critical that the display is front and center and well maintained to capture those purchases," director of marketing Cindy Jewell said in an e-mail.
Displays are even more effective when multiple kinds of berries are displayed in a variety of sizes.
"The best promotional tool for selling berries during this peak season is to provide customers with a complete selection of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries," Kyla Garnett, marketing manager for Naturipe Farms LLC, Estero, Fla., said in an e-mail.
Others agree the "berry patch" method is effective.
Michelle Deleissegues, director of marketing for Red Blossom Sales, Oxnard, Calif., said offering berries in a display with variety boosts sales volumes, citing studies from the California Strawberry Commission.
"I believe it also encourages consumers to try other pack sizes or berry types that they perhaps were not planning on picking up," Deleissegues said in an e-mail.
She mentions that customers may have come into the store to buy just strawberries but end up buying strawberries and another berry, such as blackberries, because they are nearby with good quality or special pricing.
These displays can move into cross-promotions if retailers place companion items next to the berries, such as shortcake or crepes.
"This 'berry patch' creates an eye-catching display and offers great co-merchandising opportunities, such as shortcakes, whipped cream or sparkling cider, all of which can help increase overall sales at the register," Garnett said.
Jewell says California Giant Berry Farms has several seasonal promotions set for this year.
The company recently concluded a spring promotion called 'A Breath of Fresh Berries,' which offered spring recipes, an outdoor activities guide, and an offer to win spring-themed prizes throughout the month of April, Jewell said in an e-mail.
In May, the company switched over to a new offer focused on baseball and summer family activities.
"We have a summer offer and fall offering following similar guidelines that encourages use of our brand of berries as part of an active lifestyle for the whole family," she said.

In this lesson, you'll see how to add UW Sub-Object code, quantity and price information for supplies and materials.
Adding supplies and materials to a budget is a straightforward task. You need to provide the supply or material:
- A name or description
- A sub-object code
- A quantity
- A unit price
All four fields are required. SAGE will display an error message if the description field is left blank.
To add supplies or materials to a budget:
1. Open your budget.
2. Click the arrow to the left of (05) Supplies or Materials to display the Add Supply or Material button.
3. Click the Add Supply or Material button.
SAGE displays the Setup: New Supply or Material page.
4. Enter the name of the supply or material in the Description field and select the appropriate UW Sub-Object Code from the dropdown menu.
For this example, the description is "Milk", and sub-object code is (01) Food.
5. Click the First Period button at the bottom of the page.
SAGE displays a page where you can add quantity and price information.
6. Enter the quantity and price in the textboxes.
For example, you could use 100 units at $3.00 each.
Notice that the total amount for the milk is $0.00.
If you want to see the total for this item, click the Save button to have SAGE calculate the total price, display the amount on the page, and save the data.
In this example, SAGE has calculated that the total amount for the milk for this period is $300.00.
7. But, what if you want to change the description from 'Milk' to 'Whole Milk'? Click the Line Setup link
at the bottom of the page. This returns you to the Setup page where you can add 'Whole' to the description.
8. Click the Save and Close button. SAGE returns you to the worksheet. Now, you'll see that the line item has been changed.
9. You can also save the data and return directly to the worksheet by clicking the Return to Worksheet
Here are a couple of things to remember when adding supplies to a budget:
- Inflation does not apply to supplies. It has to be calculated manually per period.
- The quantity and the price for supplies has to be entered separately for each period. Entering it in the first period does not mean that it cascades through.
- Both the quantity and price fields default to 0. If you don't add both values, SAGE can't provide you with a total cost.

This is a gel-mask meant to be applied after cleansing and left on overnight. It is packed with potentially irritating plant oils (lavender, coriander, mint, pine, and eucalyptus)---surprisingly, it doesn't burn or sting upon application. It just feels very cooling and has a strong lavender/spearmint scent. The results for me are disappointing though, and I'm sorry to have to break the chain of love for this product. Up till now, lavender in skincare has always caused an eruption of little whiteheads all over my face. That didn't occur with this mask, but the following morning it felt like all moisture was sucked out of my skin. My cheeks especially were very rough to the touch like I was recovering from a bad sunburn. I wish I experienced the glow and dewiness that other reviewers got -- I blame the lavender and other host of oils in the ingredients. Much too drying for my sensitive skin.

BUT I will be getting it again - it's worth the splurge! ****ADDED: I went to the Sephora in NY and asked the lady for a sample of this, and she filled it to the top! which is like $10 worth ha haha! so yeah i'll be going back and asking for samples tee hee

How good is this mask? The night my almost nine pound daughter was born (after sixteen hours of labor), I slathered this on before I went to bed at like 3 in the morning and the next morning not less than three people told me how great I looked. If that isn't a product living up to its reputation then I don't know what is. :)

I really wanted this product to work for me, but it didn't. I had microdermabrasion done at Bliss and the facialist used this product afterwards in conjunction with a task mask and tons of other things to soothe my skin. The results were fantastic and I was hoping to replicate my new, smooth, clear skin at home with this mask.
My facialist advised that I should use the skin exacting mask before any flights, to prevent monthlies, and once or twice weekly. I bought a bottle and it feels great going on (cooling sensation), especially after microdemabrasion, but nothing happens. I'm in my early twenties, so maybe that's the reason why I don't see anything? I'll save my money for professional glycolic peels and microdermabrasion.

Fabulous! In a few quick strokes, the Skin Exacting Masks puts my skin through boot camp in five seconds flat - my results were on contact; firm, supple, glowing and PORELESS!
Don't be confused - SEM is an under moisturizer (or alone), after cleansing primer that indicates its best used at night, once or twice weekly but I pick it up whenever my skin is 'slacking'.

Anything but academic, a tenure dispute in Alabama became a blood bath when professor Amy Bishop opened fire at a faculty meeting on February 12, 2010. After the murders, further investigation into the 1986 "accidental" shooting death of her brother Seth, led to Bishop's being indicted for murder in Massachusetts for that crime.
Former University of Alabama professor Amy Bishop has challenged the guilty verdict and life sentence she received after opening fire at a faculty staff meeting on February 12, 2010, killing three people and wounding three others. Given the terms of the plea deal she accepted, her challenge may not be allowed to proceed.
Amy Bishop has pleaded guilty to the murders of her UAH colleagues, but may soon face extradition to Massachusetts to stand trial for killing her brother in 1986.

Denver street food: The best meals-on-wheels of 2010
Brava! PizzeriaLori Midson
Monday through Friday at Sixteenth and Arapahoe Streets
Facebook: www.facebook.com/Brava.Pizzeria
The marvelous pizzas at Brava! Pizzeria, of which there are five, plus a daily pie, are shoveled into an 850-degree oval oven for about ninety seconds, and when pizza virtuoso David Bravdica and his crew pull them from the embers of the smoldering Missouri oak wood, they're charred, bubbly and taste of pizza utopia. Bravdica, who spent nearly a year in Tuscany throwing pies, built his wagon on wheels in Boulder, but it's those of us in Denver -- specifically, the stream of strollers on the 16th Street Mall -- who reap the rewards of his prowess. His top-notch ingredients -- pepperoni and sausage procured from II Mondo Vecchio; Jumpin' Good Goat Dairy goat cheese; fresh herbs from Grower's Organic; locally-sourced flour; hand-pulled mozzarella; San Marzano tomatoes; and Hazel Dell mushrooms -- are judiciously spread across the dough that rises high above its competition.

Twitter: @CrockSpot
"Everyone has a connection with crockpots, whether it's sitting on top of your refrigerator collecting dust, or it's something that your mom or grandmother used while you were growing up," says Stephen Daniels, who runs the Crock Spot with business partner Mandy Birks. He and Birks, who serve the stewed meats (chicken, pork, lamb and beef) with healthy grains, including pearl barley, quinoa and brown rice, have amassed a devoted fan base of hippies and hipsters who have fallen head over pot for the innovative, healthy bowls crowned with one of four different sauces -- chimichurri, chipotle sour cream, tzatziki or a spicy garden gravy -- and topped with scallions and Beefsteak tomatoes. It's been a successful venture for Daniel and Birks -- so successful, in fact, that the duo is soon unleashing a food truck, followed by a brick-and-mortar.

Twitter: @deluxe_st_food
The Little Orange Rocket, chef Dylan Moore's tangerine-tinted mobile meals on wheels, is all about pimping globalized foodstuffs with flair. The truffle mac-n-cheese balls whiffed with truffle oil and thyme, have their own legion of followers -- as do the fries buried in white cheddar, roasted red pepper ranch dressing, bacon and scallions -- but the shining star in the worldly lineup is the bánh mi slider, grilled chicken pressed with cucumbers, pickled daikon and cilantro sprigs, and dressed with fish sauce and squiggles of rooster sauce. We're not suggesting you should forsake your Federal Boulevard fix; just that this is a bánh mi that deftly combines quality and quantity.

Various locations around Denver; available for private parties, school demos and fundraisers; and Kleinman's soups are also served at the Waffle Brothers, 393 Corona Street
Twitter: @inventingroom
Molecular magician Ian Kleinman, the former exec chef of O's Steak & Seafood at the Westin Westminster, and the mad genius behind the Inventing Room, his Willy Wonka-like catering company and laboratory of liquid nitrogen, space foams and Pop Rocks, launched a food cart last summer, attracting clusters of curiosity seekers who couldn't wait to see the celebrity of liquid nitrogen in action. Kleinman is always experimenting -- he's currently playing around with liquid nitrogen fried ice cream -- and his cart, from which he hustles unassailable ice creams and sorbets with wacky toppings, like peanut butter Pop Rocks, alongside crème brûlée, slushies, chocolate malt popcorn, housemade caramels, marshmallows and fruit dipped in chocolate, and soups and breads, has no limitations. Just go with it and revel in the fun of it all.

If you lived in the Joc House, you wouldn't feel the need for a vacation or getaway. The reason why I say this is because it looks like a resort in and of itself. More of a mansion than a house, it holds pretty much any luxury a human being could ever ask for.
Designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects, the Joc House is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. With a stunning, open concept entrance, an indoor pool, waiting area-like living rooms and bar-like kitchens, this Joc House is undeniably luxurious to say the least.
With this awesome resort home, you can save plenty of dough as you can now skip out on having to actually go on an all-inclusive vacation. Check out the wicked designs of this Joc House for yourselves in the featured gallery.

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007First and foremost thanks so much to everyone for visiting The Soapbox Queens yesterday! Our launch day was a roaring success with almost 100 comments. Wow! Evidently, you all like the idea of being Queens, too.Â
Now for my humilation…
Earlier this week I spoke to the headmaster at my kids' school about our new dress-code. In short, it's terrible. So terrible, in fact, that I would prefer going to uniforms. In an attempt to keep the upper grade girls from wearing baby-tees, they've made a blanket rule that none of the girls can wear shirts with images, numbers, letters, pictures, screens, etc… As I told the headmaster, that eliminates 90% of the shirts in my daughter's closet and she doesn't own the first baby tee. She has shirts with butterflies and flowers, etc… Modest, of course. We're talking about a child who won't wear a white shirt because–gasp!–you can see her bra under it.
In the course of the conversation the whole topic of name brands came up and she mentioned that they were trying to cut down on those as well–Aeropostale and American Eagle specifically. (She also mentioned that her own daughter liked the polo shirts from Aeropostale. This will be significant later.) I explained to her that, thankfully, at the moment neither one of my kids are brand conscious. Neither one of them really care, so long as their clothes are comfortable. I told her that I don't shop at Aeropostale or American Eagle.
That very night, guess who was on the 10 o'clock news strolling through Aeropostale?
Er…that would be me.Â
I went in there to look at the polo shirts she'd mentioned, thus making a liar out of me. I'm guessing my reasonable argument about the dress code lost some credibility.

NATE Hosts Tailgate Talks
Watertown, SD - Jun 2, 2008 - The National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) hosted a brief webcast titled Tailgate Talks to educate NATE members about the importance of job site safety. Don Doty, NATE chairman of the board of directors and presenter, encouraged the association's members to take action and play a lead role in changing the way the industry operates.
During the 15-minute webcast, Doty presented NATE's top five recommendations for crews to discuss during daily tailgate meetings before work begins:
- Identify potential hazards (weather, environmental hazards, tower corrosion or structural damage, electrical hazards, other hazards unique to the job at hand)
- Conduct pre-climb check of personal protective equipment
- 100 percent tie-off is mandatory
- Lock-out/tag-out procedures, and
- What to do in an emergency
"Safety isn't something that can be thought of every once in a while, it's a daily commitment," said Doty. "We are taking this opportunity to remind our members that the only acceptable way to do a job is to do it safely. As leaders at their companies, they must reinforce expectations and help avoid mistakes that cost lives."
The webcast is available online at this Webex link.

If you haven't noticed so far, we're starting to conduct some research on various design software topics here at ENGINEERING.com. We started by looking at the Value of Simulation, and I presented some early findings at the 2012 NAFEMs NA conference in Washington DC. Next up, we're looking into the State of PLM. I'll be presenting findings from that study at the PLM Innovation event in Atlanta GA next week. Final findings from each of these studies will be published in an info-graphic research report that you'll get for free.
My next question to is pretty simple: what do you want researched next?
Below is a one question survey listing 14 different potential research studies. Just pick the top three you like the most, although we aren't constraining you to that many.
Below the survey is a short abstract for each one. That will give you some idea as to the purpose and context of each study.
Now get started and vote!

text: North Bend, WA December 15, 2011 – ASR Offroad is excited to announce the availability of their full line of Synthetic Winch Ropes and Kinetic Recovery Ropes. ASR Synthetic Winch Ropes are designed and manufactured to bring you many years of reliable, high performance vehicle recovery. Plasma® 12 strand rope is the main component of all ASR winch rope assemblies, and is one of the highest strength synthetic ropes available.

Good morning!!!!
I missed you all so much and hope you missed me at least a smidge!
I also hope you all had a marvelous week while I was away! I am having a hard time coming up with words to describe just how marvelous my week away was, so today's post will be light on words, but I will be sharing some of my favourite pictures and moments from my holiday!
- Taking my first steps off the plane and into Barbados was pretty marvelous!
- Waking up to this beautiful view every morning
- Morning walks and talks with my Dad every morning
- Paddle boarding for the first time ever in my life and not falling
- Sipping on fresh coconut water and eating fresh coconut
- Experiencing a state of peacefulness that I've never experienced ever before
- Feeling the strongest and most vibrant I have ever felt
- Going snorkelling with my Dad
- Meeting a monkey friend
- And spending all of my time with two of my most favourite people in this world, my Mom and Dad.
As you can see, I had a marvelous week, so I will be linking today's post up with Katie's Marvelous Monday series!
