Husband and I stopped by our favorite local furniture store today, and saw this Ralph Lauren dining table with 1'' thick tempered glass top. Here is the link to RL. (Ôľ© think it looks prettier in real life..) The Table In Real Life Pic 1 It's a floor sample with a couple scratches, and the store is willing to sell it to us at cost (about 1/4 of the current retail price). We initially planned not to get formal dining room furniture until the kids grow up, but this table looks really interesting and has a good price. It's a bit on the large side (100'' x 50'' x 30''). Our dining room is only 15'3'' x 13'10''. Do you think it will work? Below are some pictures of our dining room. The floor was installed recently, and there is no furniture or rug on it. Ideally, I'd want a buffet under the flower painting, but it doesn't have to be that way, I guess.. |

Follow-Up Postings:
It'll work, and it's likely a good deal. I love RL furniture, so it wouldn't take much to twist my arm. |
If you love it, get it! I have to say, though, for me being able to see through a dining table at everyone's laps and feet, etc, just isn't appealing. I like the table empty, but don't think I'd like it with diners around it :) |
I agree with olychick, I'm not a fan of looking through a table at feet etc. |
The photo of your room has it looking very classic and on the formal side. The table seems very casual, as it's staged on the RL site. I sincerely hope this doesn't hurt your feelings, but my initial thought when I went to the RL site was that it looked liked a work table placed on saw horses, or a picnic table. That doesn't mean it's not a nice table, but I do wonder how you'd incorporate it in that beautiful room. Can you show pics of the nearby rooms and how you have furnished them? If someone could Photoshop it into your room, I'd love to see that. Nice table, nice room, but I just can't see them together. |
I would say It depends a lot on the furniture you have in the adjoining rooms. If everything else in the common areas is that sort of "rustic industrial," you might be able to pull it off even though the style of house is really not suited for that type of extreme look. I wouldn't worry about the size too much, because glass top tables make a room seem such more spacious. Also, you won't see legs and feet when you are eating because plates and glasses will cover the table while you're using it. I would worry more about what kind of chairs you could find that would go with the table and not take up too much room. They might be massive, and/or uncomfortable, and you might only be able to purchase them at full price, which would essentially negate the whole "good deal" aspect of the purchase. If you do use the table, you should probably rethink the still life painting. If the painting is where you wanted to start the room from a design standpoint, I have to say the table doesn't make much sense. If you need to furnish a few rooms and are just getting started, you may find it more cost effective to go through an interior designer. Picking things out in isolation from the architecture, setting, and what you already plan to use may not result in a pleasing end product. |
I agree with the others, but I think it'll work depending on the chairs you use, etc. and what your style is elsewhere. It's traditional (or a more modern take on traditional) without being formal, which is all that's really necessary with the traditional elements in your space. And leave it to RL to put an over the top piece of glass on that table. I don't think I've ever seen such a thick piece of glass for furniture. I stumbled cross this while looking for an example of the type of RL chairs I could see paired with it that are still traditional. I'm not sure I'm crazy about these, but it gives you an idea. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ralph-Lauren-Danby-Chairs-by-Henredon-set-of-8-/350358708696?pt=US_Chairs&hash=item519301a1d8 |

When you sit at a glass top table to eat, there are placemats, cutlery, stuff, etc…. you are not really staring at feet and knees- unless you try hard . |

Thank you all the responses! my3dogs, don't worry, there is no feelings hurt. The other rooms on my first floor are mostly furnished. All the pieces have a "traditional & refined & formal" style, except that the kitchen and the breakfast room are a little more on the "French country & classic" side. The store I went to does offer great interior design service. We've been using them for two years, to furnish the 1st floor, room by room. We actually went in yesterday to finalize the pieces for the breakfast room, and noticed that they are trying to replace their inventory, and thus everything on display is on clearance sale. RE: "Picking things out in isolation from the architecture, setting, and what you already plan to use may not result in a pleasing end product." This is what I am afraid of. I probably should wait till we are ready to furnish the dining room, and have the store put together a list for us, including rug, fabric, etc, so the result looks pleasant. I mean, even if we do get the RL table now, we would just leave it there in the dining room alone, without any chairs or rug.. Besides, the paintings are definitely going to stay (we know the artist who painted them in real life, and really appreciate her work). KevinMP, the chairs you linked to are similar to my kitchen counter stools, in terms of style. While I like them, I probably would want to use something a little different, a little more decorative and cushiony for the dining room. |

I like it! A lot. I didn't like the first photo I have to admit--the one on the RL website. But your photos really show off the table. I wouldn't worry about the little scratches, it is pre-disastered for you. As far as eating at a glass table and seeing through it, I wouldn't worry about it. I've had a lot of glass tables, including the current glass dining table. When we have a dinner party, I usually cover it with a table cloth anyway. I don't like the sound of things contacting the glass during dinner. It certainly is a table that could really go Rustic Luxe. Put a crystal chandy over that table and you are on your way. Oh, and my new feeling for rugs on hardwooods is this: you don't really need them! I know they warm up the space, add some texture, yada yada yada, but I like how the flow of the wood floor is not interrupted and makes the space feel larger. This is one of the reasons I have no rug in my dining room. Let us know if you get it! |
Your room is very pretty! So, do you LOVE the table? Or love the deal? It seems a stretch for what we can see of your house and taste. As far as the kids, it's still a nice table even though you're not paying $12,000 for it. Glass does scratch. Don't let a sale make your purchases for you. |
- Posted by ILoveCookie (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 19:48
I have to admit, I do love the table! It caught my eye before I found out it's on sale. I casually asked who made that table, and they started telling me the story behind it. The deal does make me like it even more, though :). I think I am going to go back next weekend to look at the table again, and perhaps also ask for the store's opinion, as they've helped me furnish the rest of my 1st floor. I will report back once I decide. If I were to get it, I'd definitely get some fancy chairs to go with it, as bronwynsmom has suggested, but that would be much later.. As for rugs, I'd probably still get one, as my wood floor seems to need some protection..it already has some obvious dents from contractors walking on it. |

I'm sorry that I'm don't like the type of Ralph Lauren dining table. But I do like the simple design. |

Another possibility, with small children, is to choose a nice big good-quality indoor-outdoor rug for the DR - you can find them in classic bordered trellis or sisal patterns, for instance, and they tolerate just about anything. |
- Posted by ILoveCookie (My Page) on Mon, Mar 25, 13 at 10:17
bronwynsmom, using an indoor-outdoor rug is a great idea! I will look into that. |
I love that table, although not in the RL picture. It has a chic rustic look that I really like. I also love your elegant, traditional home. I'm not really seeing the two of them together, however. Perhaps it would work with the more formal chairs, but consider also a possible buffet that would work with that table. You mentioned a buffet. If you like to entertain, or plan to in the future, I've found a buffet very convienent. It is easy to bring the food to the dining room and serve from there instead of from the kitchen. They also provide storage that almost everyone needs. That table is a real statement piece, but it may limit your other options in the future. |

I love Ralph Lauren! As others stated, when dining the table will be covered and when not, it will open up the room. It has a Tommy Bahama feel. I thought the same with your gorgeous decorating but the table has a casual feel. If it speaks to you, it will probably work, in an ecclectic way or as stated above, with the right lighting. I would google search or pinterest the style to see what comes up. |
- Posted by kitchendetective (My Page) on Thu, Mar 28, 13 at 9:40
Ralph Lauren finishes are almost always fabulous. I've succumbed to a couple of pieces that weren't perfect in my context, but the finishes made me swoon. So, being a bad influence about such things, I say go for it. However, it would be nice to have some ideas for the other pieces you may pair with it, in advance. |
- Posted by ILoveCookie (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 16:15
I went back to the store to see the table again. It looks great, but we decided not to go for it, mainly because we still want to use the formal dining room as a play room. The thick glass table top requires 4 strong men to lift. Once delivered, it will be impossible for the two of us to move it around. We'd rather not add any burden to ourselves. |
- Posted by bronwynsmom (My Page) on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 16:41
Good decision, and for all the right reasons. |

Federal Facilities and the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA)
The Safe Drinking Water Act directs EPA to set requirements for the level of contaminants in drinking water, and standards by which water supply system operators must comply to meet these levels. Part of EPA's mission is to ensure that Federal facilities comply with these requirements.
Section 1447 of the SDWA waives the sovereign immunity of the United States. Thus, Federal agencies must comply with all Federal, State, interstate, and local safe drinking water requirements. SDWA section 1447(a) provides that Federal agencies "1) owning or operating any facility in a wellhead protection area; 2) engaged in any activity at such facility resulting, or which may result, in the contamination of water supplies in any such area; 3) owning or operating any public water system; or 4) engaged in any activity resulting, or which may result in, underground injection which endangers drinking water" shall be subject to and comply with all substantive and procedural Federal, State, interstate, and local requirements to the same extent as any person.
Applicable Underground Injection Control (UIC) Program - Federal agencies are subject to the State and Federal regulations concerning underground injection wells.
EPA Enforcement
SDWA section 1447 now provides the blanket authority for EPA to issue penalty orders to Federal agencies for violations of any requirement of SDWA or requirement or schedule imposed by an administrative compliance order, an imminent and substantial endangerment order, or other administrative order. EPA must give the person to whom the UIC order is directed notice and an opportunity to request a hearing on the order. Failure to comply with a UIC compliance order would subject the Federal agency to administrative penalties under §1447. For more information on EPA's Federal facility penalty order authority under SDWA, see the Guidance on Federal Facility Penalty Order Authority Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996 (11 pp, 7MB About PDF).
Emergency Powers
Upon receipt of information that a contaminant that is present in or likely to enter a public water system or an underground source of drinking water may present an imminent and substantial endangerment to the health of persons, EPA may take any action she deems necessary to protect human health. These orders can be issued to Federal agencies.
Actions EPA may take under this section include, but are not limited to, issuing administrative orders, including orders for the provision of alternative water supplies and commencing civil action for appropriate relief, including a restraining order or permanent or temporary injunction.To learn more, review the EPA's Federal Facilities Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) enforcement and compliance program documents.

[492] CD30 Positive Lymphomatoid Drug Reactions
Constantin S Friedman, Neil Crowson, Cynthia C Magro. NYP-Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, NY; Regional Medical Laboratory, Tulsa, OK
Background: Atypical cutaneous lymphocytic infiltrates of the skin can be induced by drug therapy, defining the concept of the lymphomatoid drug reaction. The most common expression of the lymphomatoid drug reaction is one which resembles mycosis fungoides(MF) including the interstitial granulomatous variant of MF. The latter has fallen under the appellation of drug associated reversible granulomatous T cell dyscrasia. The so called lymphomatoid vascular reaction has been described as a unique morphologic variant of lymphomatoid drug reaction. In this study we present a group of patients with a CD30+ lymphomatoid angiocentric drug reaction, a reaction pattern which closely resembles type A lymphomatoid papulosis.
Design: All cases were encountered in the routine dermatopathology practice of the authors. A total of 9 cases were encountered in which a diagnosis of CD30+ lymphomatoid drug reaction was confirmed based on the temporal association between lesional onset with initiation of drug therapy and subsequent resolution with drug cessation.
Results: The patients presented with a pruritic papular eruption. There were 5 women and 4 men ranging in age from 49 to 76 years of age. In each case, the biopsies demonstrated a similar morphology, namely a superficial angiocentric lymphocytc infiltrate containing many immunoblasts exhibiting variable atypia. Tissue eosinophilia and supervening eczematous changes in the overlying epidermis were not uncommon. In all cases, the angiocentric infiltrate was highlighted by CD3, CD30, and CD4. Cytotoxic protein granule expression or monoclonality were not observed. In all cases there was improvement or complete regression of the eruption upon drug modulation. The drugs were among those most commonly implicated in the lymphomatoid drug reactions, comprising statins (4 cases), ACE inhibitors especially linisopril (5 cases), calcium channel blockers (2 cases), chemotherapy agents (3 cases), HCV associated antiviral therapy (1 case) and antidepressants (1 case).
Conclusions: The CD30 positive lymphomatoid drug reaction poses a diagnostic challenge because of its close resemblance to lymphomatoid papulosis. Differences morphologically include the superficial confinement of the reaction, lack of cytotoxic protein expression amid the atypical immuoblastic cells, and supervening eczematous alterations in the epidermis. A role for combined iatrogenic and endogenous immune dysregulation including polypharmacy is likely important pathogenetically.

Whether you're an ID student working wood or an architecture student making foamcore models, you need a pencil to mark dimensions on the material prior to cutting it. And you quickly learn that on high-tolerance projects, a regular and unsharpened pencil can have you off by as much as 1/16th, or worse if you're a sloppy cutter; the things need to be kept sharp.
So next you figure mechanical pencils are the way to go for accuracy. But mechanical pencil leads always seem to break off when they're jostling around in your ArtBin or toolbox, and those little plastic tubes that hold the replacement leads like to disappear when you're pulling an all-nighter. Plus a mechanical pencil lead has the same problem as conventional pencils—they're worthless for marking on black foamcore or darker woods like walnut.
One potential solution is the Accutrax Pencil Blade, a piece of graphite shaped like a utility knife blade.
It drops a razor-sharp line right against the ruler, never needs sharpening and can be retracted inside the handle, like a regular blade, to keep it safe during transit.
Different colors, most importantly white, solve the dark material problem.
However, I say "potential" solution and can't anoint this thing a "win" for a couple reasons: They clock in at $5.50 for just three blades, not exactly art student prices (and even worse, some retailers are selling the three-packs for as much as $12); and I can't find anyone who actually sells the colored versions of the blades. I think the concept is sound, but that the price will have to come down to disposable levels in order for these to take off.

National League Game Summary - New York at Milwaukee (Sunday, July 7th) Final Score: New York 2, Milwaukee 1 Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Jeremy Hefner tossed seven effective innings and Josh Satin went 3-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI to lead the New York Mets over the Milwaukee Brewers, 2-1, in the finale of a three-game series at Miller Park. Hefner (4-6) struck out eight and allowed only two hits -- one a home run to Jonathan Lucroy -- to win his third straight decision. "He had command of his stuff," Mets manager Terry Collins said of his starter. "He made one bad pitch pretty much the whole game." Bobby Parnell recorded a four-out save for the Mets, who took the rubber match and improved to 4-1-2 in their last seven series Tom Gorzelanny (1-2) was a hard-luck loser in a spot start for the Brewers, surrendering just two unearned runs and eight hits over six innings. Juan Francisco, starting at third base in place of the injured Aramis Ramirez, had a pair of throwing errors that led to both New York runs, and Milwaukee was unable to recover in losing for the third time in four games. With a runner on second and two outs in the fourth, Andrew Brown hit a slow chopper down the line that Francisco barehanded and threw wildly to first. The throw was high and got away from Sean Halton and allowed Satin to cross the plate and break the scoreless tie. In the sixth, another errant throw from Francisco advanced Marlon Byrd to second, and Satin followed with an double off the bottom of the right-field wall to put the Mets on top by a 2-0 margin. "Slow rollers are always tough plays," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of the errors. "If he makes good throws, both are outs." The only hit allowed by Hefner in the first six innings was an infield single to Halton in the second frame. Hefner went up 0-2 in the count on Lucroy leading off the seventh before Lucroy hammered a fastball over the wall in left center to get the Brewers on the board. Hefner retired the next three and gave way to the bullpen after throwing 105 pitches, 71 for strikes. Josh Edgin recorded the first two outs in the eighth, and Parnell got All-Star Jean Segura on a routine groundout to second to strand a runner in scoring position. Parnell worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to pick up his 15th save of the year. Game Notes The Mets picked up 11 hits to Milwaukee's three ... Hefner has not lost since June 11 against the Cardinals. He has allowed one earned run in six of his last seven starts, lowering his ERA from 4.74 to 3.39 ... Satin is riding an 11-game hitting streak ... Gorzelanny also recorded eight strikeouts in starting for the injured Wily Peralta, who had his outing pushed back because of a left hamstring issue. 07/07 17:58:44 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, adopted from John le Carres best-selling novel, was first moved to the screen in the BBCs 1979 version. Starring Sir Alec Guiness as George Smiley, of the British M16 intelligence agency (which le Carre dubbed the Circus), the television series ran to six episodes, just over five hours long. So it could capture the intricate workings of the plot, the back stories lurking behind every raised eyebrow and half-smile among the somewhat opaque characters.
The current number, with Gary Oldman playing the ironically-named Smiley, runs just over two hours, though it may seem like three, given the torpor of what action there is. Oh, there are shootings, throat slashings, and threats to international peace, all right, but you wont be confusing this movie with Mission Impossible. It takes place almost entirely indoors, and it comprises a series of small discoveries, rather than Big Fight Scenes. Rated PG-13, it should turn off even the most assiduous, focused teenager and will likely confound many an adult viewer.
That said, theres much to be admired here, including Oldmans star turn as the taciturn, soft-spoken or silent Smiley, Colin Firth and John Hurt in critical supporting roles, and the most understated production design in recent memory. Cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema and director Tomas Alfredson convey a dreary, rainy London and the even less appealing smoky interiors of M16s bureaucratic warren. And Alberto Iglesiass musical score subtly underpins the equally restrained movements onscreen.
But the screenplay, by Peter Straughan and the late Bridget OConnor, simply tries to pack too much into too little space. The multiple flashbacks, while artfully handled, often confuse rather than edify the viewer, making an already Byzantine plot that much harder to follow. Though patience in waiting for references and allusions to be explained is rewarded (mostly), much of the audience will understandably check out long before being enlightened.
The story begins in 1973, and the British intelligence community, still unsettled by the defection of double agent Kim Philby a decade earlier, has another mole lurking in its upper circles. Smileys assignmentwhich he decides to accept even though he has been recently fired from The Circus--is to ferret out the one or ones who have been passing along secrets to the Russians. Aided only by young Peter Guillaume (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his own ability to piece fact and intuition, history and present reality together, Smiley succeeds, though not without a lot of painful recollection and some double-dealing of his own.
Indeed, nobody comes off looking all that noble or even good, le Carres jaundiced view of the spy business coloring all the characters. Its a realistic take, certainly, but one that will not be pulling people into the cineplexesthough it will likely garner several Oscar nominations. If youre willing to concentrate on following the action, and if youve read the novel, chances are good youll like the movie. Otherwisenot so much.

Trade school debts
Matt Cardy/Getty Images
Older pupils at the Bridge Learning Campus learn motor car mechanics on February 24, 2010 in Bristol, England.
Trade schools are thriving as people worried about jobs prospects flock to tech, culinary and other vocational schools. But do the schools deliver on promises of well-paid jobs? Some say they leave many students loaded with debt and qualified only for low-wage positions. Federal loans and grants are the primary source of revenue for trade schools. The US Department of Education is considering new restrictions on loans for trade schools.

SENSIO and Miranda Announce Partnership to Develop Suite of Broadcast Products for 3DTV
MONTREAL â April 7, 2010 â SENSIO® Technologies Inc. (TSX Venture: SIO) ("SENSIO" or the "Company") (TSX-V: SIO) and Miranda Technologies Inc. (TSX: MT) today announced a partnership to develop a suite of high-performance broadcast products to enable end-to-end Stereoscopic 3D playout.
The first Miranda product equipped with SENSIO technology is the Densite 3DX-3901 Stereoscopic 3D video processor module, which will be launched at the 2010 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The processor provides high-quality conversion of multiple 3D formats, including SENSIO 3D technology which offers visually loss-less compression-decompression technology for high-quality distribution of 3D content over existing 2D infrastructures.
The Densite 3DX-3901 provides conversion of Dual 1.5Gbps, Dual 3Gbps, Single 1.5Gbps, and Single 3Gbps signals. It features a single 3Gbps/HD input and dual 3Gbps/HD outputs; this allows previewing of conversion effects, as well as 3D/2D simulcasting. The processor also offers horizontal and vertical flip, interaxial adjustment, and Horizontal Image Translation for adjustments to depth positioning, and for simulating a 3D landscape from a 2D scene.
"The remarkable momentum of 3D is driving broadcasters' demand for a fully-integrated suite of 3D-enabled systems that interoperate smoothly to âindustrialize' 3D playout workflows, and our partnership with Miranda is a key step towards this," said Nicholas Routhier, president and CEO at SENSIO.
"Miranda now offers a range of Stereoscopic 3D products, spanning signal processing, multi-viewers, and channel branding, which simplify the transition to 3DTV production and playout," said Jean-Marc d'Anjou, vice president Infrastructure at Miranda. "We're aiming to strengthen our support for SENSIO 3D across our products, with upcoming product releases."
SENSIO and Miranda will showcase their 3D technology at Miranda's booth at the 2010 NAB Show in booth N2515.

Can't wait to see this at Indy. The news item and page description updates have me very excited for the game. Looks like a fun, tongue-in-cheek game - like BB is. Like that it's not focused on the games themselves, we already have a game for that - it's called Blood Bowl.
With the rumored September release I have my fingers crossed that it's moved into the 'will be for sale at Indy' realm. There's usually one or two items that FFG seems to squeeze into their booth for sale that weren't announced for sale ahead of time. I'm hoping this is one of them!

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north. | 1 Then the man led me northward into the outer court and brought me to the rooms opposite the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall on the north side. |
2 On the north side it was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, | 2 The building whose door faced north was a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide. |
3 Opposite the space of twenty cubits which was part of the inner square, and opposite the stone floor of the outer square. There were covered ways facing one another on the third floor. | 3 Both in the section twenty cubits from the inner court and in the section opposite the pavement of the outer court, gallery faced gallery at the three levels. |
4 And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north. | 4 In front of the rooms was an inner passageway ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long. Their doors were on the north. |
5 And the higher rooms were shorter: for the covered ways took up more space from these than from the lower and middle rooms. | 5 Now the upper rooms were narrower, for the galleries took more space from them than from the rooms on the lower and middle floors of the building. |
6 For they were on three floors, and they had no pillars like the pillars of the outer square; so the highest was narrower than the lowest and middle floors from the earth level. | 6 The rooms on the third floor had no pillars, as the courts had; so they were smaller in floor space than those on the lower and middle floors. |
7 And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long. | 7 There was an outer wall parallel to the rooms and the outer court; it extended in front of the rooms for fifty cubits. |
8 For the rooms in the outer square were fifty cubits long: and in front of the Temple was a space of a hundred cubits. | 8 While the row of rooms on the side next to the outer court was fifty cubits long, the row on the side nearest the sanctuary was a hundred cubits long. |
9 And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall. | 9 The lower rooms had an entrance on the east side as one enters them from the outer court. |
10 (And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms. | 10 On the south side along the length of the wall of the outer court, adjoining the temple courtyard and opposite the outer wall, were rooms |
11 And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors. | 11 with a passageway in front of them. These were like the rooms on the north; they had the same length and width, with similar exits and dimensions. Similar to the doorways on the north |
12 And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in. | 12 were the doorways of the rooms on the south. There was a doorway at the beginning of the passageway that was parallel to the corresponding wall extending eastward, by which one enters the rooms. |
13 And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy. | 13 Then he said to me, "The north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests' rooms, where the priests who approach the LORD will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings--for the place is holy. |
14 When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people. | 14 Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people." |
15 And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round. | 15 When he had finished measuring what was inside the temple area, he led me out by the east gate and measured the area all around: |
16 He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round. | 16 He measured the east side with the measuring rod; it was five hundred cubits. |
17 And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round. | 17 He measured the north side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. |
18 And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round. | 18 He measured the south side; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. |
19 And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round. | 19 Then he turned to the west side and measured; it was five hundred cubits by the measuring rod. |
20 He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common. | 20 So he measured the area on all four sides. It had a wall around it, five hundred cubits long and five hundred cubits wide, to separate the holy from the common. |

<<Prev Document | Texas Register |
Next Document>> |
AGENCY | Texas Commission on Environmental Quality |
ACTION | Miscellaneous |
Notice of Intent to Propose City View Road Groundwater Plume Site for Listing on the Texas Superfund Registry and Opportunity for Citizens to Request Public Meeting The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ or commission) is required under the Texas Solid Waste Disposal Act, Health and Safety Code, Chapter 361, as amended (the Act), to annually publish a state registry that identifies facilities that may constitute an imminent and substantial endangerment to public health and safety or the environment due to a release or threatened release of hazardous substances into the environment. The most recent registry listing of these facilities was published in the September 24, 2004, issue of the Texas Register (29 TexReg 9218). In accordance with the Act, §361.184(a), the commission must publish in the Texas Register and in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the facility is located a notice of intent to list a facility on the state registry of state Superfund sites. With this publication, the TCEQ hereby gives notice of an area that the executive director has determined is eligible for listing, and which the executive director proposes to list on the state registry. This publication also specifies the general nature of the potential endangerment to public health and safety or the environment as determined by information currently available to the executive director. This notice of intent to list this facility was also published on April 22, 2005, in the Midland Reporter Telegram. The facility proposed for listing is the City View Road Groundwater Plume Site (the site) located in Midland, Midland County, Texas. The geographic coordinates of the site are 31 degrees 59 minutes 25.91 seconds North Latitude and -102 degrees 2 minutes 43.79 seconds West Longitude. The description of the site is based on information available at the time the site was evaluated with the Hazard Ranking System. The Hazard Ranking System is the principal screening guide used by the TCEQ to evaluate potential, relative risk to public health and the environment from releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances. The description may change as additional information is gathered on the sources and extent of contamination. The site was evaluated to have a Hazard Ranking System score of 7.06. The site is located northwest of the intersection of Interstate Highway 20 and State Highway 158 in the City View Road area in Midland, Texas. The groundwater at the site is contaminated with perchloroethylene (also known as tetrachloroethylene), petroleum hydrocarbons, and additives. The source of perchloroethylene is unknown and the area of the contaminated plume is not completely defined. The impacted water wells are clustered near Cloverdale Road, Fairgrounds Road, and City View Road. The site is comprised of private homes, trailers, and a few scattered small businesses. The City View Road groundwater plume was discovered in 2003 during an investigation of a crude oil spill from a pipeline leak. Water sample analysis indicated the presence of benzene contamination. During All American Pipeline's investigation in June and July of 2003, wells exhibited detectable concentrations of methyl ethyl ketone, perchloroethylene, carbon disulfide, tetrahydrofuran, and trichlorofluromethane. A public meeting may be requested regarding the proposed listing of the City View Road Groundwater Plume site on the state Superfund registry. The public meeting must be requested by submitting a written request by 5:00 p.m., on May 26, 2005. Interested parties may submit a written request for a public meeting or may submit written comments to the commission relative to the proposed listing of the site to the attention of Mr. Subhash C. Pal, P.E., Project Manager, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Remediation Division, MC 143, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087 or facsimile at (512) 239-2450. If a public meeting is requested regarding the proposed listing of this facility on the state registry, the commission shall publish general notice of the date, time, and location of the public meeting in the Texas Register and in the Midland Reporter Telegram. The public meeting notice shall be provided not later than the 31st day before the date of the meeting. If a public meeting is requested, it will be legislative in nature and not a contested case hearing under the Texas Administrative Procedure Act (Government Code, Chapter 2001). A portion of the record for this site, including documents pertinent to the executive director's determination of eligibility, is available for review at the Midland College Library, Murray Fasken Learn Resource Center, 3600 North Garfield, Midland Texas, during regular business hours. Copies of the complete public record file may be obtained during regular business hours at the commission's Records Management Center, Records Customer Service, Building E, First Floor, 12100 Park 35 Circle, Austin, Texas 78753, (800) 633-9363 or (512) 239-2920. Photocopying of file information is subject to payment of a fee. Parking for persons with disabilities is available on the east side of Building D, convenient to access ramps that are between Buildings D and E. For further information about this site or the proposed listing, please call John Flores, TCEQ Community Relations Section, at (800) 633-9363, extension 5674. TRD-200501506 Paul C.

This product is unlike everything else in Oribe's great line. After experimenting with it in different amounts it did nothing to defrizz my hair plus it is very expensive and smells hideous. Next...

Age: 44-55 Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brown, Medium Eyes: Blue
This product is exactly what it says it is--a gel/serum fusion with some gold flecks in it to spice things up a bit. I've only used this when blow-drying (as opposed to air-drying), and it's quite unique. Forget everything you know about hair gel (especially if you were around in the 80s). This one is rather thin (but not at all watery), spreads through hair easily, and gives soft, natural, but lasting hold. It really does make your hair feel as though you've used a serum or other treatment product on it--the softness is remarkable. I've also used it mixed half-and-half with the Creme for Style, and that combo gives my hair a bit more weight and frizz control but with the same softness. (I think 3/4 Styling Creme and 1/4 Gel Serum will work best for my hair.) This has the characteristic Oribe scent, which I like and find disappears when hair is dry. Yes, they're both ridiculously expensive (hence the 4-star rating), but I think the Gel Serum/Creme for Style combo could take on any length or texture of hair, make it do what you want it to, and last all day. And that's worth the price to me. I will repurchase.

J. TILLMAN Singing Ax
PERFORMERS J. Tillman
J. Tillman's 7th full-length record is called Singing Ax and was recorded in three days, February 2010, by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago. Bob Weston mastered the album. If you are pressed for time, tracks 2 "Diamondback", 4 "One Task", and 6 "Tillman's Rag", should give you a general idea what the record's about. Very few of the songs feature accompaniment, though a few include mellotron and drum machine (track 1, "Three Sisters", for example). There is something of a drum explosion at the conclusion of track 11 "A Seat At The Table". The lyrics are predominately third-person narratives, save for a few stock-in-trade existential musings, such as the title track..

Yo. Saturday but we are minus the (edges?) and the top three things that a girl should not talk to a guy is... What's that? It's not you, it's me. That is... I got tired enough talking about you with me but with the fast to move and speak. Yes. And it's like oh, how do I keep time, what is it? And he would probably be willing to talk in like big bold letters with like (that take?), like tonight and you're just like waiting until she tells you why she's upset. What's the other one? When I use a lot of letters, like me wearing a (??) over that. Yeah, like W ID you know that, I mean did I do it for some enough. And try to stay cool but I try by the way. We do that. It hit me like, I do that before. Oh, I just go. And one more thing that you don't want to got to talk, when you got to try something and then last minute, when you're getting ready, she's like I have to cancel. I know. You're just like, oh man, bad. I know you're ready like over 40 and I prefer you have additional (tattoo?) and not to be my friend too, right? Yes, it's so much. This is a long... Yeah, just don't do that to me. But we love to say. Mark.

Shaw Communications Inc. is a Canadian telecommunications company that provides telephone, Internet and television services as well as mass media related services. Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Shaw provides services mostly in British Columbia and Alberta, with smaller systems in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Northern Ontario.
Shaw was founded as Capital Cable Television Company, Ltd. in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1966.[3] The company changed its name to Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. and went public on the TSX in 1983. The company grew during the 1980s and 1990s through acquisitions of firms including Classicomm in the Toronto area, Access Communications in Nova Scotia, Fundy Cable in New Brunswick, Trillium Cable in Ontario, Telecable in Saskatchewan, Greater Winnipeg Cablevision[4] (serving areas east of the Red River), and Videon Cablesystems of Winnipeg (serving areas west of the Red River), which had itself previously acquired Vidéotron's assets in Alberta. However, two swaps, in 1994 and 2001, with Rogers Cable have resulted in its assets being restricted to Western Canada and a few areas of Northern Ontario.[5]
Prior to 2003, Shaw owned cable systems in the United States previously owned by Moffat Communications, serving six communities in Florida (Eastern Pasco County, Clermont, Palm Coast, Ormond Beach, West Palm Beach and Doral), and the Houston, Texas suburbs of Kingwood, Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston. In February 2003, the Florida systems would be sold to Time Warner Cable (with the West Palm Beach and Doral systems later sold to Comcast, and the other systems spun off to Bright House Networks), while the Texas systems were sold to Cequel III, as part of its then-Cebridge Connections subsidiary (now Suddenlink Communications).[6][7]
In July 2009, Shaw announced that they will be acquiring Mountain Cablevision[8] in Hamilton, Ontario, ending a ten-year-old non-competition agreement[9] with rival Rogers Cable. Approval of the purchase on October 22, 2009[10] by the regulatory body, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), has been granted, and it was stated to be in the public's interest.[11] The acquisition was Shaw's first cable property east of Sault Ste. Marie since the 2001 swaps with Rogers and Cogeco. Shaw's re-entry into Southern Ontario would be short-lived, as its Hamilton system would be resold to Rogers in early 2013.[12][13]
In April 2011, Shaw announced that it would not be launching a wireless (i.e. cellular) network until 2012. In 2008, Shaw had purchased wireless spectrum for areas covering Western Canada and Northern Ontario.
In May 2011, Shaw announced its intent to spend $100 million, to convert its analog tiered cable service to digital over a 16 month period starting August 2011. Its 20% of subscribers still on analog tiered cable service would receive a free digital cable box rental. This conversion does not apply to basic cable channels, thus subscribers to basic cable will continue to be able to obtain their signal in analog. Switching to digital has the effect of freeing up bandwidth, which Shaw plans on re-allocating for internet bandwidth. 100 and 250 Mbit/s internet speeds will be phased in throughout this timeframe.
In November 2012, Shaw underwent a corporate re-branding, introducing an updated logo and slogan, along with a new promotional campaign featuring animated robots (with particular focus on two, Bit and Bud) that live in a representation of Shaw's infrastructure, depicting them as being responsible for how their services work. The campaign was designed by the Vancouver-based agency Rethink, who were also responsible for Bell Canada's beaver characters Frank and Gordon.[14][15]
In April 2013, Shaw Business Solutions took over Enmax's Envision subsidiary, which had built a fiber-optic network throughout Calgary. The acquisition was completed for $225 Million.[16]
Expansion to broadcasting[edit]
Attempted takeover of 3 CTVglobemedia television stations[edit]
On April 30, 2009, Shaw announced a deal to acquire three television stations — CHWI-TV in Windsor, Ontario, CKNX-TV in Wingham, Ontario and CKX-TV in Brandon, Manitoba — from CTVglobemedia. CTV had indicated that it would shut down the stations, all of which were incurring extensive financial losses, later in the year if a buyer could not be found, and had placed them on the market at a price of just $1 each.[17] However, it was reported on June 30, 2009 that Shaw has backed out of the deal and is declining to complete the purchase.[18] CHWI-TV would remain on the air as is; CKNX-TV would become a repeater of London station CFPL-TV in September 2009, while CKX-TV would close down entirely in October 2009.
Acquisition of Canwest[edit]
In February 2010, Shaw announced an agreement with the financially troubled Canwest, whereby Shaw would buy an 80% voting interest, and 20% equity interest, in the restructured entity of Canwest, pending approvals from the CRTC and others.[19] Three months later, following negotiations with rival bidders, the company said it would purchase the entirety of Canwest's broadcasting assets, including the interests in the CW Media subsidiary currently held by Goldman Sachs Capital Partners.[20] Canwest's newspapers were not part of the Shaw deal and were sold separately to Postmedia Network.
The acquisition was completed on October 27, 2010, after CRTC approval for the sale was announced on October 22.[21] The Canwest properties are now reorganized into what is now called Shaw Media division.
As part of the benefits package for the acquisition, Shaw will fund improvements to Canadian broadcasting, among them as follows:
- Convert 67 analog over-the-air television transmitters in non-mandatory markets to digital by 2016.
- Install a satellite receiver and dish, at no charge, to viewers who lose access to the over-the-air signals.
- Launch new two-hour morning newscasts in Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax.
- Buy more drama, documentary and comedy programs from independent producers.
- Invest in new media content that will support news and other programming.
Other activities[edit]
Shaw is the parent of Shaw Broadcast Services (previously Shaw Satellite Services, Canadian Satellite Communications, or Cancom) and, through Shaw Broadcast Services,[22] Shaw Direct, one of Canada's two national direct broadcast satellite providers. For many years it also owned a number of radio stations and specialty television services; these assets were later spun off into Corus Entertainment in an effort to satisfy a now-repealed CRTC policy discouraging cross-ownership of cablesystems and specialty services.
In 2008, Shaw entered the AWS spectrum auction with the intention of possibly becoming a wireless phone provider. The auction ended July 2008, giving Shaw Communications enough spectrum to build a wireless network in its home provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario.[23]
Shaw has been slowly expanding its television offerings over the last few years, with most of the increases occurring in the HDTV part of the dial.
There are full-HD channels that have not yet been picked up by Shaw. Shaw usually picks up channels in HD format that have 60% or more of their programming in HD giving customers more High Definition Content.
Internet usage-based billing[edit]
In December 2010, Shaw filed complaints with the CRTC to have competing internet video services such as Netflix classified as broadcasters under Canadian law.[24] In the same month, Shaw introduced usage based billing on internet plans and lowered plan caps an average of 25% while introducing overage fees of $1 to $2 per gigabyte.[25] On February 8, 2011, Shaw agreed to put a hold on usage based billing for its services.[26]

Must Be A Sign
I went to the gym tonight for the 1st time since April 9th and ran 2.25 miles without stopping. On the way out of the gym I saw this…
a beautiful rainbow after a hot, humid May rainstorm.
Must be a sign that going to the gym to run is a good thing. Well, at least that's how I'm interpreting it. Wish it was a sign that I'll be back in marathon shape in no time. A girl can dream.
When was the last time you saw a rainbow?

frisee salad with roasted mushrooms
It's been an odd, nearly balmy, winter in the city. Here in February, I spotted a few flakes of snow, but also buds, blossoms, flowers, and even a mosquito. And a few weeks ago, the wild chives started pushing up (about a month early). Wayward chives aside, the growing season is still a long way out. But cultivated mushrooms, which can be grown year-round, are widely available at the local markets, and they're a meaty delicacy in a season of want.
We made this dish over the weekend and it was just the right kind of satisfying salad for a Saturday lunch. With lots of playful textures, like meaty roast mushrooms, crisp croutons, and caramelized shallots, and bitter, lemony, and nutty flavors, this salad is a big bowl of late winter comfort.
This recipe is adapted from Andrea Reusing's Cooking in the Moment. I received a copy for Christmas and have been loving it. Her focus on seasonal savory recipes is super approachable, and she somehow makes even winter eating seem thrilling. If you don't have it yet, and especially if you're on the east coast (she's based in Chapel Hill), I highly recommend it.
By the way, Brooklyn Supper is honored to have been nominated for a Homie Award. Voting for the finalists goes until midnight on March 2nd, and we'd really love it if you'd head over and cast a vote for us. While you're there, cast some votes for your other favorite home, design, and food blogs. Have I told you lately that I love you? Well, I do.
Frisee Salad with Roasted Mushrooms and Shallots (adapted from Cooking in the Moment by Andrea Reusing)
4 thick slices day old bread
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus a bit more
8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, brushed clean and stems removed
8 oz. crimini mushrooms, brushed clean and stems removed
8 oz. oyster mushrooms, brushed clean
1 shallot, sliced
2″ strip of lemon zest, plus remaining zest grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 bunch frisee, washed and dried
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, rough chopped
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub bread with the clove of garlic, and cut into rough 1 1/2″ cubes. Spread out on a baking sheet, drizzle on a bit of olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and a few twists of pepper. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Shake pan and toast for another 5 minutes. Edges should be a light golden brown, but the centers should be soft. Remove baking sheet from oven and set croutons aside.
Meanwhile prepare the mushrooms and shallot. Cut the shiitake and crimini into thick slices, and cut the oyster mushrooms into broad strips. Place in a bowl (this can be same the bowl you use to serve the salad), drizzle on 2 teaspoons olive oil and all but 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, and turn to coat. Sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon salt and fresh ground pepper.
Turn oven heat up to 425 degrees. Split the mushrooms and shallot between two baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, shaking halfway through, until mushrooms have released juices and started to crisp a bit on the edges.
To make the vinaigrette, combine the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, and zest. Whisk in the olive oil. Add a generous pinch of salt.
Place the frisee and parsley in a large salad bowl. drizzle on a few tablespoons salad dressing, and turn leaves to coat. Next, toss in the breadcrumbs, mushrooms, and shallots. Toss with a bit more dressing. Check salt and pepper levels. Slice reserved lemon zest into several strips, twist, and add as a garnish.

oh, i must make this! love everything going on in that bowl. i'm a mushroom freak but rarely roast them so it will be a welcome departure for me.
wow!!! i cannot wait to try this as i am a mushroom lover. also trying to lose some weight!!!
I've been on a big frisee kick lately– this salad looks wonderful! I love the combination of the mushrooms and the lemon; it seems like that zip of citrus would really compliment the earthy mushrooms. Can't wait to give this salad a try!
Just made this for dinner. Only had criminal mushrooms and added lardons but it was really really good. I don't like frisée but the husband does so decided to go ahead w it and in the end I loved the frisée. Oven roasted shallot and the lemon zest in the salad both gave it something unexpected that made the salad. So glad I made this!
Amazing recipe… simple and fresh salad!!
I will make it this evening :o)

As read by me, this guy had a place in TX, moved up here, saved his bills, and opened the place without having to take out a loan.
The Connect Stoughton has a write up:http://www.connectstoughton.com/main.asp?SectionID=4&SubSectionID=4&ArticleID=3751&TM=83504.29
I have been there twice for lunch. OK Corral decor. Friendly waitstaff.
The first time I had the pork sandwich which was decent and chili as a side. The second time I had the beef brisket and chili as a side. The brisket was shredded versus sliced. Shredding freaks some people out, but it makes one hell of a sandwich. Nice smoke. I added the on table BBQ sauce to both. Good stuff. Around $9-10 bucks a sandwich and side I think.
It is a large place, and potentially hard to support. Like every other small guy out there, I would like to see him do well.

What do Jane Eyre, Like Water for Chocolate, and the Bayeux Tapestry have in common with nursery-rhyme buttons and French émigrés? Quite a few things, actually. For one, they live at that glorious intersection where literature meets handwork, and for another, you'll find articles about all of them in PieceWork's September/October literary issue.
Fleur-de-Lis Needle Case by Barbara Jackson We've included a diverse range of literature and needlework in this issue: The classics, contemporary novels, children's literature, and original poetry as well as embroidery, crochet, knitting, and even a bit of drawn threadwork. Here's just a peek:
Tita's Kaleidoscope Bedspread by Abbi Byrd Marika Simon takes an in-depth look at Bronte's classic, Jane Eyre, and discovers a social hierarchy of needlecraft; inspired by Tita's famous crocheted bedspread from Like Water for Chocolate, Abbi Byrd provides instructions for making her beautiful version; Sarah Bower's sizzling novel, The Needle in the Blood, about the making of the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the Norman conquest, is the source for our Bayeux-stitched embroidery project; Jane Austen, Fanny Burney, and Charlotte Smith are all authors who worked the plight (and needlework) of French émigrés into their novels and gave Barbara Jackson an opportunity to design a sweet fleur-de-lis needle case to embroider.
Miss Terwilliger's Skirt by Joanna Johnson In this issue, we look with a critical eye at some of the chestnuts and discover something new; we present poignant and personal stories connecting women's lives and family to handwork and literature; we make it fun by introducing you to Ertle and Lura Stonebreaker and their amazing nursery-rhyme button collection and by including an article about Robert McCloskey's children's story "Mystery Yarn," then follow it up with instructions for a striking skirt to knit inspired by the wardrobe of the main character, Miss Terwilliger.
It's been so satisfying to gather together literature from across the centuries and to study the ways in which handwork is portrayed in it, often crucial to the development of both narrative and character. We hope you'll enjoy this issue as much as we have putting it together.
I love that I can read about political events of the eleventh century, social history of the eighteenth century, and, of course, the Victorians, on my iPad or through a digital subscription. That's an equally glorious intersection: needlework history and twenty-first-century technology.
Also in this issue, discover the Grand-Prize Winner of PieceWork's Excellence in Needle Arts Pin Cushion contest as well as all the category winners and honorable mentions.

finally gave up the ghost this winter. However, I had more key limes than I could use for the first 5-6 yrs....but the last two winters have done it in. I am going to replace it with a Lakeland Limequat...finally tasted them in JAX last week. I knew I would be going by Flying Dragon Citrus Nursery so I brought a key lime from home, and bought a persian lime for a taste test. IMO the results:
1. Key Lime ( nothing beats this for a lime...sour, complex, robust.)
ALl in all, I'd rather have the limequat than the persian lime. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You should consider the Tavares limequat. The fruit is much bigger than Lakeland and equal to an indio mandarinquat. The flavor is complex. |
Here is a link that might be useful: mrtexas
This guy sent me 25# of Tavares limequats. This was my first experience with the fruit and I am impressed. Makes excellent marmalade. |

Swiss Diamond Nonstick 2-Piece Fry & Grill Pan Set
Made in Switzerland, this nonstick cookware's extraordinary durability is the result of an innovative process that infuses the cooking surface with genuine diamond crystals. This not only prevents peeling and blistering but also creates a nonstick surface that easily releases the most delicate foods. Two-piece set includes an 11" nonstick fry pan and an 11" square grill pan. The flat surface of the fry pan is ideal for omelettes and pancakes, and the ridged surface of the square grill pan lifts meats above excess grease and fat while leaving grill marks on meat and fish. Patented nonstick composite is fused with real diamond crystals to create an ultra durable cooking surface that won't peel, crack or blister. PFOA-free nonstick surface prevents food from sticking and makes cleanup a snap. Cast-aluminum construction distributes heat evenly across the pan's surface, eliminating hot spots. Flat, disc-shaped base works well on ceramic, electric and gas cooktops. The ergonomic, lightweight handles stay cool to the touch. Fry pan: 11" diam. Grill pan: 11" sq., 3" high. Dishwasher safe.

And as mentioned earlier, you can skip 2 businessses (and still complete story)... If you skip film studio and malibu you will be skipping 8 more (4 each).....
I personally have completed story in just over 3 hours of play time (in game timer). But i did reload several times as i was on a speed run.

I used mini-muffin pans and dropped the bake time to 6 minutes, they turned out perfect. """

The hardest part of buying a new house is the period of uncertainty between signing a deal and closing escrow. It's like Schrodinger's Cat, you know that a healthy home loan application went into the box, but while the box is closed the home loan exists in both states, filled and denied, until the experiment is over and the results are revealed. Ours will be a short escrow, twenty days, I can't imagine what those with 90 day escrows must endure.
I am really quite happy with the process. We went with the same company that held our mortgage in Las Vegas. We got locked into our rate exactly one day before the rates jumped 3/8's of a percent. Now we just sit back and wait for the appraisial and survey to come in. Then snap the house is ours. (yes my fingers were crossed when typing that.)
The home itself is in a nice part of the Hunter's Creek development in south Orange County. It was built in 1997 and is one street down from some of the nicest homes in the community. My commute to and from work and the Disney property are 5-10 minutes shorter (although we must now pay a toll to get to Disney).
I look forward to showing y'all pictures of the house. You'll see before, during, and after shots as we plan to redo the flooring, rearrange a closet, and totally redo the kitchen. Wish us luck with that.
It will be nice to be home owners again... I'll now be switching back to the side that hopes there is no housing market crash. Just call me Johnny Damon.
