I have gone back and forth on ranges for so long, that each time I make a decision, a new one come out and mucks up the works. My plan is a 48inch open burner range with a grill and a separate steam oven (either Miele or Wolf). Considerations: Bluestar - I'm very tempted but I really mind the issue with the heat of the oven door. This is a deal breaker for me. However, what about the Platinum series? Does this solve any issues? Also, what about the grill set up on the Platinum series? Is this a plus or a minus in terms of grilling. Thermadore - Not a brand I was interested in but their dual fuel range with the built in steam oven is intriguing. Does anyone know how it compares to the dedicated steam ovens? It seems to offer a bit of everything, though I'm only interested if the "everything" is not a compromised version of 'everything" or just enough to pull it off? Also, how are their burners? Long post, I know, but there is little out there about the Connoiseurian, the THermador and the Platinum BS. Thank you in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The new Culinarian and Connoisseruian have small pot burners that can go down to 500 btu. That is low enough to simmer anything in small amounts. Some burners have lower ratings but that is really a keep warm or hot plate feature. Some folks need to have the burners adjusted to get more linear adjustment from low to high. But properly adjusted there is very good control from low to medium to high. For Steam Oven I would look at Gaggenau. $3k with free shipping below. Can be used as regular oven or convection oven with self-clean or steam oven. Gaggenau is the only steam oven that can be used as a regular oven with self clean. |

deeageaux, Do you know anything about the Thermador or American ranges? I need 24" width for the steam oven. Between the Miele or Wolf do you have any knowledge. |

I love our Wolf CS024 steam oven, have had it a year and we are so glad we splurged on it. I can't compare it to the Miele as I don't have that unit, but from looking at them in the store the Wolf had a much larger interior cooking space compared to the Miele. But I am not sure if that still applies or not if there is a new model compared to when we were looking a bit over a year ago now. Phil |
"Posted by deeageaux The new Culinarian and Connoisseruian have small pot burners that can go down to 500 btu. Can you give the source for this number? Also has capital released the btu rating on the low end for their regular burner? |
I am about to return my second Culinarian and request a full refund. I will not purchase another. |
Your message about problems with Capital are making me Verkempt (sp.). Is there a reliable brand out there. I live in the general vicinity of Blue Star. Will that help reliability? How about American range with the open burners? Are these reliable? Does any Culinarian owner want to speak up about their range? Are Heidi's problems in the minority or are these problems widespread. Help. |

All brands will have problem, there is no way around that. You are generally hard pressed to find positive reviews in "bulk" as most people don't post when things are going well. People only tend to speak up when there are issues. Now I am talking in general here, and there are lots of good reviews on many brands on this forum and others, but I think you will get my drift. I don't think you can go wrong with Capital, BS or AR, they are all good and will all be well supported. Again, not everyone is 100% satisfied with anything about a brand though. Heidi didn't talk about her specific problems, though there may be another post. Posting like Heidi did, in my opinion, is of now help as it does not details the problems. That is not to say Heidi didn't have issues and that her comment is not warranted, but it doesn't give enough information for you to make a decision with what was posted. Do you have the room in your kitchen to do a range top and then a wall oven? If so you could do a BS range top and avoid any concerns with the oven door temps and get a wall oven that doesn't have that issue. I personally have a 36" BS range top, which we love, and a 30" Wolf wall oven (L-Series) and there are absolutely no heat issues on the Wolf oven door at any temps, I have confirmed that with my own skin. Best of luck, |
I inquired recently about the Thermadore you're thinking of. the salesman (who also sells Miele and Wolf) said don't bother, it's not good quailty, especially the steam oven compared to the others. Jack of all trades, master of none. |
Thank you, saeyedoc. That was the concern I expressed in my original post. philwojo99, I'm definitely going with a range. No room for the separate wall ovens. I also like the look of a range. Also, my problem with wall ovens is that I am short and tend to burn my forearms reaching inside. Also, I find it easier to lift heavier pots from lower than from higher up. I have seen Heidi's comments before (see the link to the discussion below). That thread has a pretty extensive description. Again, exception or the rule? The thread as a whole was discouraging though the problems seemed to occur mostly with the ovens and not the cooktop. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Capital Culinarian repair service - Is this typical??
I am in the same situation. I have a 48" culinarian on order but now I am having second thoughts. The american range performer that is now in 48" looks to be an nice alternative. |
OK--you want details? I am the originator of the thread 'Culinarian--Capital Disappointment.' My replacement Culinarian's issues: 1. The convection cooks more unevenly than regular baking (using traditional cookie sheets). 2. The oven racks are dangerous--mine get jammed due to the oven being narrower at the front than the back. I had to kick a rack to get it to slide back into the oven and scortched an oven mitt trying to maneuvre it. 3. My oven cooling fan has quit. I have only been using this range for 3 months. 4. The broiler is incredibly uneven--burning in the middle and not even approaching browning on the outside. Once again, using a traditional cookie sheet for size. 5. The griddle cooks more evenly than my first range, but the temperature drops too much before it comes on again. So, to cook pancakes in a reasonable amount of time one has to keep bumping up the heat. 6. My burner grates are a bit too low so that if I use a 14" saute pan next to the griddle, it has to tip when it extends over the griddle area. 7. Some of my burner grates are not level so that my pans rock when I am cooking and stirring. 8. My burners are losing their black coloring. 9. Our range was delivered on a semi--not a problem for us since we own our own forklift--how many of you do? But, still shows lack of service. 10. I still have the original Culinarian sitting here in spite of having it boxed and ready for return since October. I was told these were "non issues" by Trevor. This coupled with the fact that there is NO SERVICE for central Indiana has left me with a very bad opinion of the company. |
I've had an American Range 36" for over 7 years. I would say that if I was interested in Kitchenaid level of appliances it would be below Kitchenaid in quality. The brand is not in the same league as Capital or BS in my opinion. I have posted a detailed account of my problems here in another thread and disdain doing so again because of the lack of tolerance in responses from some in the GW community. As soon as I cannot tolerate the degree of problems with my current range I will buy a Capital. I strongly suggest if you do decide on Capital that you spend some time looking at Eurostove's website as well as look at Trevor's posts on this community's many discussions. Also pay attention to the warranty of the Capital machines offered by Eurostoves. I am not associated with Eurostoves and live very close (20 miles) to the Capital factory. I have no motivation except to add my 2 cents to the discussion. |

Oecumenical Patriarch receives Abba Seraphim at the Phanar
On 30 July His All-Holiness the Oecumenical Patriarch, Bartholomaeus I, received Abba Seraphim at the Phanar, accompanied by Mr. Trevor Maskery and Archimandrite Deiniol of the Wales Orthodox Mission within the Oecumenical Patriarchate. The Patriarch expressed himself very happy to see Abba Seraphim again and gently reproved him for having not visited Constantinople for a number of years. During their meeting they were able to discuss matters of mutual concern and interest.
At the Patriarch's invitation Abba Seraphim and his companions were invited to join him and members of the Holy Synod for lunch, after which they continued their conversation in the Throne Room of the Phanar. During his time at the Phanar Abba Seraphim also visited the Patriarchal Church of St. George.
Abba Seraphim welcomes Acting Armenian Patriarch to Greenwich
On 27 March Abba Seraphim was delighted to welcome His Eminence Archbishop Aram Ateshian, General Vicar (Acting Patriarch) of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople to the British Orthodox Church Secretariat at Charlton and to take him on a tour of some of the religious and historical sites of Greenwich. His Eminence was visiting London for a few days and was accompanied by Father John Whooley, with whom he was staying during his visit. Accompanied by Mr Trevor Maskery, Abba Seraphim met the Archbishop at Greenwich Pier and the party lunched together before touring Greenwich.
The first site was St. Alfege's Parish Church, where they prayed at the memorial marking the place of the saint's martyrdom a thousand years ago. After this they visited the Old Royal Naval College (now Greenwich University) beginning with the Painted Hall and concluding with the fine chapel, where they were received by the chaplain, Rev'd Jeremy Frost. They then drove into Greenwich Park to view the Royal Observatory and the fine views across London. After this they drove to Charlton where Abba Seraphim introduced Archbishop Aram to his three resident aquatic Van Cats: Hripsime, Shoushan and Senekerim. They later discussed matters of mutual interest, before dining together in the evening.
The British Orthodox Church and the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople have long enjoyed warm relations and since the illness and incapacity of Patriarch Mesrob II, Archbishop Aram has served as Acting Patriarch. Abba Seraphim will be visiting Istanbul this summer and Archbishop Aram assured him of a warm welcomed at the Patriarchate in Kumkapi.
Abba Seraphim greets new Armenian Patriarchal Vicar
In consequence of the tragic illness of Patriarch Mesrob II Mutafyan, who has been incapacitated as a result of fronto-temporal lobe dementia, the Armenian community in Istanbul hoped to elect Archbishop Aram Ateshian as co-patriarch of Constantinople. However on 2 July 2010, the Governor of Istanbul insisted that under the terms of the patriarchate's own statutes there could be no co-patriarch during the lifetime of an existing patriarch (who is elected for life) and therefore named Archbishop Aram as General Vicar of the Patriarch for the term of Patriarch Mesrob's life, with full patriarchal rights. Archbishop Aram, who was consecrated to the episcopate in 1999 has effectively administered the see for the past two years.
Abba Seraphim and Patriarch Mesrob became personal friends when the latter was Archbishop of the Princes' Islands and Abba Seraphim became a frequent visitor to Istanbul during the patriarchate of Karekin I. Abba Seraphim, accompanied by the future Father Peter Farrington attended Patriarch Mesob's enthronement on 21 November 1998.
In his letter of congratulation to Archbishop Aram, Abba Seraphim noted that "the dignified and sensitive way in which your community has responded to [the crisis over Patriarch Mesrob's health] speaks loudly for the wisdom and maturity shown and is a worthy example of Christian conduct in the face of an intractable problem." In his reply Archbishop Aram spoke of the "strong relatiobns between two sistwer churches" and said he looked forward to a future visit to the patriarchate by Abba Seraphim with pleasure

Fadini GP et al. – Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)–4 activity is increased in type 2 diabetes (T2D), but is not lowered by glucose control, suggesting that hyperglycaemia is not a direct determinant of DPP–4 activity. However, metformin may indirectly reduce DPP–4 activity.
Methods- In the first set (SET1) of patients, the authors compared plasma DPP-4 activity between 30 T2D and 20 age- and sex-matched non-diabetic subjects.
- In the second set (SET2), they measured serum DPP-4 activity in 42 T2D patients before and after a trial of glucose control achieved by add-on basal insulin therapy (NCT00699686).
- Serum/plasma DPP-4 activity was determined using chromogenic and fluorigenic substrates, as well as several positive and negative controls.
- In SET1, plasma DPP-4 activity was significantly higher in T2D vs. controls (32.2 ± 1.2 U/l vs. 21.2 ± 1.1 U/l, p < 10-6).
- From a meta-analysis of the literature, they found that T2D is associated with a 33% increase in DPP-4 activity compared to controls.
- In SET2, serum DPP-4 activity was not lowered by intensified glucose control, despite an average haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reduction of 1.5%.
- In both sets of diabetic patients, the use of metformin was associated with a significantly lower DPP-4 activity, independently of age, sex, body mass index and HbA1c.

People-Powered Transportation
May 29, 2011 by Hoby · 3 Comments
One of the great things about summer is that it is time to bring out the people-powered modes of transportation. With the warm sunny days, and the kids out of school, you see a larger number of these people-powered machines on the road, in the campgrounds, on the trails, and just about anywhere else you can imagine. (Photo Caption: Bicycle) Naturally the most common are the bicycles in all their forms (racing bikes, off-road bikes, stingrays, stunt, tandems, recumbent, and many others), but you will also see things like skateboards and in-line skates. But, as we have traveled around the country, we have seen a few others that are very interesting. (Photo Caption: Folding Bike) Yes, we have bikes; an 18-speed "hybrid" (sort-of a light-duty mountain bike or a heavy-duty road bike) for me, as well as a 7-speed folding bike that is easier to carry. But we have also added a couple of more items to our people-powered fleet of vehicles. The first one we picked up came from our stay... [Read more...]
I Like Who I Am When I'm Here…
May 29, 2011 by Diane Berry · 7 Comments
One of my family's favorite destinations for summer trips is Taos, NM. While we usually head west over the summer from our home in Wisconsin, we always try to make a stop in Taos. We love the place for a variety of reasons: the kids especially enjoy the rafting, camping and horseback riding experiences we have here, Terry and I look forward to the multitude of hiking trails we can visit, we all enjoy the delicious food and cultural experiences and Meghan and I enjoy the shopping opportunities. But, most of all, I like who I am when I'm here. Taos is a place that moves in its own time and by its own rules. Clocks are not strictly followed; they are more of a suggestion than a strict order. It is the mountain, not Father Time, that rules here. The pace is unhurried; the attitude mellow. If you are going to a show, it may start a bit late, or perhaps a few minutes early. That's alright—walk right in. Taos accepts everyone for who and how they are. During a recent visit, we listened... [Read more...]
Patti's Saga of an RV Rookie: Summer Secrets for Turning Teens Into Happy Campers
May 26, 2011 by Patti F. · 13 Comments
Let's take a look at actual statements that 12-16 year old students wrote about family camping, taken from a teacher ( who shall remain nameless) who intercepted hundreds of notes over the span of her 25 year career: " They're making me leave for, like, most of the summer. Like I want to live in the RV with them." "Everyone will talk about me when I'm gone." "They said I can't play internet video games even if the stupid campgrounds have Wi-Fi. That stinks." "Alex/John/James/Andy/Garth/Michael/Ian/Brenan/Juan/Gage will probably dump me. I mean, I'm going to be gone half the summer. I would dump me, too." "Ask your parents if I can stay with you for the summer; then maybe I won't have to go." "They said texting is out; that I'm supposed to act like I'm a member of the family when we're RVing and not ignore them. I wish I were in another family." This is serious stuff for adolescents. If you look closely, you'll note the above quotes don't... [Read more...]
Okanagan, the Napa of the North

Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown trail before me leading wherever I choose. —Walt Whitman The beautiful sunny Okanagan Valley in southern British Columbia. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The attraction of recreational vehicle travel is to see the country, visit new places, meet interesting people, and experience the freedom of the open road. As we explore North America by RV, natural beauty abounds when least expected, and surprises wait at every turn of the road.

Rent An RV!
May 25, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · Leave a Comment
If you are thinking of making the leap in the RV lifestyle or if you want the comfort of an RV for an upcoming road trip but you don't want the hassle of owning one, then I suggest you rent an RV. Admittedly, we own our travel trailer so we haven't had to rent an RV very often in the past. However, about four years ago my husband ventured back to Alaska with our son and on that trip they rented an RV. To cut the costs considerably and to have more manly fun, they teamed up with some good friends who were game for the adventure as well. They rented their RV from Great Alaskan Holidays in Anchorage because the company offered transportation from the airport directly to the rental facility. The company's comprehensive website also made it easy to plan in advance and ask lots of questions in preparation for the trip. The RV, pictured here, was relatively compact but it served them well. The four of them stayed in it while visiting Anchorage and then cruised... [Read more...]
THE POOR MAN'S AIR CONDITIONER – It is easy to make this one!
May 24, 2011 by Professor95 · 3 Comments
It has been a hot day. The temperature has hovered near 100 since mid morning. An early afternoon thunderstorm has added to the already stifling humidity. Clouds have moved out of the sky and there is no breeze. Welcome to a typical summer day in Central Virginia. Our camper is sitting on a site in one of Virginia's State parks – Lake Anna. We have no hookups and generators are not allowed after 8:00 p.m… The Ranger made his rounds about an hour ago and reminded us to silence the machines. The night air retains the heat and humidity of the day. When we decide to go to sleep for the night I lay on the bed as the sweat pours out of my body, soaking the sheet below. I cannot sleep. It is too darn hot and the fan next to me doesn't move enough air to evaporate the moisture on my skin. Does this sound familiar? It doesn't have to be this way – you can be cool and comfortable with a simple to make "Poor Man's Air Conditioner" sitting at the foot of your... [Read more...]

Memorial Day weekend kicks off those lazy, hazy days of summer. State and national parks are great spots for family camping. Pictured above is campground at Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The long weekend is perfect for a camping getaway to enjoy biking, boating, fishing, golfing, hiking, paddling, photography, or bird watching.

Stop Bugging Me!
May 23, 2011 by Melissa A. Trainer · 3 Comments
Camping is a wonderful way to escape the endless challenges of everyday life–work, email, phone, chores, and many other things. Unfortunately, the most amazing camping trips can quickly sour when mosquitoes take over and start to eat away at the party! I abhor bug bites, and my children are quite allergic to them. This isn't a huge problem in the Seattle area because there aren't many mosquitoes around here. However, when we travel to the East Coast or when we travel throughout Alaska in the summer, mosquitoes can be a huge annoyance. Over the years, I tried various products, but about eight or nine years ago I discovered an all-natural bug repellant from one of my favorite stores in Seattle–The Herbalist. Located in a residential neighborhood, this privately-owned shop is simply wonderful and their own custom-blended bug spray–B.O.O.– is awesome. Consisting of a blend of essential and herbal oils, the spray is designed to simultaneously repel... [Read more...]

Summer Heat and RV Refrigerators
May 23, 2011 by Hoby · 3 Comments
(Photo Caption: Summer in the RGV) So far as full-timers, summer has meant that it was time for us to leave the lands of palm trees and endless sunshine to head North and find cooler weather (the last few years we have gotten our tans during the winter, and then lost them during the summer—the opposite of most people we know who are not full-time RVers or snowbirds). The location on the Oregon coast where we spent last June and July only hit 70F a half-dozen times while we Summer Weather Forecast were there. However, for personal reasons we have stayed put longer than normal this year, so have been dealing with real summer weather (high 90s and low 100s with lows around 80—and I won't even mention the humidity!). So, this is our first experience with our refrigerator not being able to keep up with us (or, should I say, the heat). Fridge I learned a lot about RV refrigerators over the last few weeks, and feel that this is an appropriate "summer-themed" topic. For instance,... [Read more...]

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jamie!
Facts about Jamie
- Breed: Beagle
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Jamie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
This is Jamie! Everyone who gets to know her and her gentle, friendly demeanor says, "What a great dog!" Her foster mom agrees and if you meet Jamie, you will too.
Jamie is 25 pounds and about six-years old. She has a sleek, soft tri-color coat. She is spayed, current on all shots and house trained. She uses a doggie door but would probably be fine without one as she seemed to know the rules of the house right away.
Jamie gets along with all her doggie housemates and is comfortable with children. She has not been around cats at this home, but her foster mom suspects that she would probably leave them alone after the initial curiosity about them wore off. She loves to take long naps snuggled up on the sofa or in her doggie bed, but she's not just a couch potato. She's also a great walking companion. She is able to maintain a vigorous stride without pulling. Like all beagles, she follows her nose and loves to explore the yard, tromping through the leaves, and chasing squirrels. She doesn't bark or bay except when people ring the doorbell. She would do just fine with a doggie companion but would probably be okay as a much-loved only dog. Please fill out an application today to meet this sweet-tempered girl.
Other Pets at Houston Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jamie, a Houston Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Houston, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Houston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Houston already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Houston breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Houston paves the way for another one to be saved.

The Huayhuash Circuit is one of the most beautiful trek in the world, made famous by the film "Touching the Void". Here the view is taken just about 45 mins away from the Pass of the same name (I think) towards a series of lakes, where there should be three but only two are really in view here. On the left are Carnicero(5960m), Siulá (6344m), Yerupajá(6635m) and Jirishanca(6094m) respectively. The camp site for the ascent to the summits are on the other side of the mountains.
South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest. To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case. The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina. Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians. Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight? I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.Text by Steve Smith.

Nursing Mission Statement
To prepare competent, compassionate healthcare professionals using processes & concepts both present and increasing in complexity, integral to nursing practice. Nursing education is distinguished by liberal arts education, evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, safe patient care and commitment to the changing healthcare environment.The faculty of SCC's nursing program has common beliefs and values concerning human beings, health, nursing, society and nursing education. These beliefs have high priority for the faculty and will, therefore, have a strong influence on the nursing program and the manner in which it is implemented.
Nursing Vision Statement
Provide a welcoming, supportive environment for nursing students learning which prepares students for licensure and entry into the workforce. The nursing program will provide educational opportunities that promote student learning across the lifespan, cultures, and the health/wellness continuum. The Nursing Program is a committed, collaborative partner with healthcare agencies to support the nursing workforce needs and interests in our communities
Nursing Philosophy
We believe that each student is a unique individual, shaped by culture, ethnicity, sexual identity, socioeconomic status, and environment. Faculty respect and support this diverse student population, enabling students to flourish as they work within our communities and beyond to achieve their academic and professional goals.
We believe all nurses are life-long learners, continuously developing their professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes with a spirit of inquiry. Employing student-centered learning strategies holds students responsible and accountable for their learning. Students take an active role in their own learning in partnership with faculty facilitating the assimilation of concepts and knowledge of professional nursing.
We believe the National League for Nurses (NLN) outcomes, supported by the Quality and Safety Education for Nursing (QSEN) competencies, capture the essence of nursing we wish to instill in our students. We will prepare novice nurses to enter the workforce with the knowledge, skills, attitudes, professionalism, and confidence necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of the healthcare system.

Interview and Slideshow: Jeremy Kost's Exhibition, 'Of An Instance'
By Max Berlinger
Jeremy, I think what you were touching on the idea that the drag queens you're attracted to are…
Jeremy: They're not pageant queens. If you look at the Warhol Polaroids of drag queens and transsexuals that I chose, they're a bit less beautiful.
Eric: Warhol wasn't going for classically beautiful, he was going for "realness." That's a term that appears on Rupaul's show all the time. So, if you're passable, it's a whole different thing from camp.
I know that fame is a huge part of your work, and now with reality television and Twitter, for instance, some of the mystique has been sucked out of celebrity culture. Does that affect your work?
Jeremy: I'm not working in that context anymore. I'm not interested anymore.
Is that a reaction to…
Jeremy: You know, it started when the reality star bullshit happened a couple of years ago and I decided I didn't want to be a part of it.
Eric: But there's still a lot of overlap. Now Sharon [Needles] has thrown Jeremy a bit of a curveball because suddenly she's a celebrity, based on her appearance on the RuPaul's show. As are his boys—they're not named, but they're all big in the fashion industry.
Jeremy: The biggest theme that runs through the show is the narrative of facade—the desire for attention on some level.
Eric: The limelight and how you engage with it.
Jeremy: Which was Andy's obsession. The face we put forward.
How did you go about choosing what to show? You have a lot of stuff going on and it's not all the unveiling of new things.
Jeremy: It was a multi-month process in terms of going through the entire archive and choosing 250 images from 5,000. But more specifically, in terms of Andy's photos, it was finding relationships that weren't always so direct as, say, his Liza versus my Liza. There's the Wicked Witch with Cher, or Garret Neff with Sylvester Stallone, based on a similar gestures or compositions. The curation became more about gesture and form. In the other room, it's more about cross-generational relationships. Diana Vreeland and Anna Wintour. Beyoncé and Diana Ross. And in a moment of ego, Andy Warhol with the skull on his shoulder and me in skull makeup.
I love this sense of—a real person in front of that picture of Lady Gaga, who's become iconic of late. The juxtaposition of that, but then also the fracturing of it. There are a lot of levels of façade and artifice.
Jeremy: The newer work has become a lot more about the fragmentation of façade in addition to the fragmentation of character.
I even see Lana Del Ray's image in one of the works here—who has come under fire for re-manufacturing herself in sort of multiple iterations to find a successful niche—and then you to place another element on top of her's and break it apart…
Jeremy: There is always this huge consideration of location scouting and inserting a character into a certain context.
You were talking about boys earlier, which is a main focus of the exhibit. What's the interest in the male figure, beyond the obvious? It's erotic, but…
Jeremy: As a gay man, there's always that. But, for me, they also tend to refer to my own body issues and such. They serve as a representation of these guys I used to pine after but never gave me the time of day. Now there's this power scenario of having them pose for me. All but one of them are straight, so there's this distance and unrequited interest.

How much actual listening time do you get with a free subscription on the web?
I'd like to know the answer to this, too. It seems either they're avoiding answering it, or it's very difficult to find the answer.
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in—Rdio free users will see a customized meter at the top of their profile page indicating how much free music they have each month. When that free streaming runs out, you'll see a message appear with the date your streams will refresh.
More info on Rdio free can be found here: http://help.rdio.com/customer/portal/articles/187730
Madelyn, I understand that there is an indication bar. Now, how long is this indication bar last per month? 20 hours? 40 hours?
Bump. Lack of a straight answer here is why I'm not subscribing. Plenty of citations of "dynamic stream allocation" but zero explanation what it is, even when such an explanation was clearly requested.
Yeah... every answer I've seen from them refuses to give an actual number.
Do we know if Christopher's answer has been addressed elsewhere?

At my husband's request, I added a little less white sugar and substiuted two pinches of brown sugar as well as some cinnamon. That made them PERFECT! T..."
"Awsome! My hubby and kids LOVED it. I was gonna send the leftovers to work with my hubby the next day, but there weren't any!!! I spooned some broth over the cream cheese & stirred before adding to the crock pot. I also added my bacon about an hour before serving, and it was GREAT! Thanks for the keeper!!!"

Deadline reminder The AIA Diversity Recognition Program submissions are due by 5:30 p.m. ET, Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Questions can be directed to the AIA national component.
AIA Women's Leadership Summit The first national gathering of women firm principals and others in professional leadership roles will discuss the talents necessary to achieve leadership positions and experiences they have faced while rising within the profession. Following the opening keynote address by past AIA president Kate Schwennsen, FAIA (pictured in the banner), panel discussions and breakout sessions—and the action plan that results—will be tailored to individual participants' concerns. The program will cover the gamut of concerns affecting women in the profession today: equity, identifying leaders, leadership styles, visioning and strategic planning, next-generation leadership, design quality from the owner's point of view, design successes and challenges, and design excellence.
NOMA 2009 Annual Conference The National Organization of Minority Architects 2009 annual conference is in St. Louis October 8-10.

Who would not want these funny shirts? I have seen statement shirts worn with increasing frequency lately, most especially by teenagers trying to make their statement through their clothes. Not only do they look cute, they can deliver one might message as well. These are great ideas for gifts too!
I think I will really consider this for gifts this Christmas!

I live in north Florida and have received this quote for a new HVAC system for a finished attic:
Bryant 286BNA024, 17 SEER Heat Pump Bryant 10KW Heat Strip kit Bryant FE4ANF002 Air Handler Bryant SysTXBB1201-B Zone control two units All new duct work, grills, thermostat, labor Total including $1800 rebate = $11,608 I would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Thu, Sep 1, 11 at 13:50
Sd Certainly not cheap. Quote includes Evolution controller? I would want the 9 KW prewired and staged heat strip. If not that, drop down to a 7.5 KW size. What size is the living area? Why the need for zoning controls? R-8 ductwork insulation? I would want another quote for comparison purposes, perhaps from a Trane or AmStd dealer. IMO |
Just for a point of comparison, I had a Bryant system put in a few months ago, 5-ton 286B, FE4 air handler w/tin coating on the coil, no heat strips (adapted existing hydronic coil), and Evolution controller for $7829 after tax credit and rebates ($1800). I didn't have any duct work done, though. |
Tigerdunes: Thanks for the comment. The basic space will be a finished attic of about 1200 sq. ft., but we plan to use the unit to also heat and cool about 500 sq ft. on the floor directly below the attic. Too long a story to explain, but we live in an old house, and that is what we are trying to do. Any further thoughts would be appreciated. SD |

China is renewing and doubling efforts to nationalize Christianity, a Chinese official recently announced.
"The construction of Chinese Christian theology should adapt to China's national condition and integrate with Chinese culture," Chinese state media quoted Wang Zuoan, director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs.
The reason for the initiative?
"This will encourage more believers to make contributions to the country's harmonious social progress, cultural prosperity and economic development," explained Gu Mengfei, deputy secretary-general of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement - a state-sanctioned umbrella organization for Protestant churches.
Critics contend, however, that this push for a state-approved Christian theology is an attempt by China to tighten its strangle-hold on believers.
The government has already placed numerous restrictions on religion, leading to the rise of underground churches.
What's the real motive behind China's Christian nationalization initiative? David Curry, president of the ministry Open Doors USA, addresses this question and more. Click play for his comments.

Colorwheel Printing?Wheeling and Dealing in Indy
February 1998Paul Jr. began his illustrious career at the family business when he was in grade school. As a youngster, he collated NCR paper by hand. He did odd jobs around the shop during high school. While studying for his degree in industrial management, he spent his summers running letterpresses. After graduating, he worked his way up to sales and management.
In a sense, Paul Jr. and the shop grew up together. As he matured, so did the company. The staff got larger, the equipment got better, and the sales kept climbing. In fact, Colorwheel recently hit the $2 million mark for the first time ever.
Why the sudden growth spurt? Paul Jr. credits a newly installed six-color, 40˝ Akiyama 640 with aqueous coater. He says the press' versatility has drawn more business from the Indianapolis-area schools and businesses that Colorwheel serves. The company can now handle a variety of six-color runs with a 40˝ format.
"We basically received more work out of our customer base," Paul Jr. explains.
This is Colorwheel's second Akiyama installation. However, this one was planned well in advance. The first installation was a fluke.
In June of 1987, Colorwheel executives attended a trade show with the express purpose of purchasing a sheetfed press. They had a model in mind, and it wasn't an Akiyama.
"We never even heard of Akiyama," Paul Jr. admits.
Second Choice
After coming across an Akiyama press on the show floor, the executives decided to meet with company representatives. The Colorwheel crew liked what it heard. It also liked that the Akiyama press could do so much for so little.
Colorwheel bought a 28˝ model. Paul Jr. doesn't regret the choice.
"The Akiyama has been an impressive piece of machinery," he says. "We've had it for 10 years and have not had a single problem. So when we went shopping for a 40˝, we didn't consider anything else. Akiyama builds a beautiful press."
A beautiful press that yields beautiful results. That's important. Colorwheel takes great pride in its quality, as well as its price and service. Most printers do. Still, Paul Jr. notes that very few printers actually deliver the quality, price and service they promise.
"With Colorwheel, you get more bang for your buck," Paul Jr. claims. "Everybody can say those things, but how many people can prove it? We feel like we do."

I will be installing gutters on my 1936 Florida home in the next few weeks. I am re-painting the fascia - light sanding, priming with an adhesion primer, then 2 finish coats of latex. There are several minor areas (holes, joints)where caulking has been used and I would like to replace it with something more permanent. I get lots of rainfall and want to prevent rot as much as possible.
Would I dig out the caulk, and use something like Minwax wood hardener and performance wood filler? Or can I leave the caulk in the holes and then use the hardener and wood filler? Or is there another method to repair minor damage to wood fascia that is more permanent than caulk? Is there anything else I should do before the gutters get installed? The wood fascia is nailed to the rafter ends - should I reinforce with ss screws also? Thanks in advance for your insight! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We just had a rather extraordinary gutter and roofing company put hooded gutters on our house and they actually formed and installed a metal wrap for our fascia boards in a painted sheet metal that matches the gutters, which match our trim paint. So when you look at it, you can't really tell that the fascia is actually sheet metal. Actually come to think of it they replaced the fascia boards too, because ours weren't high enough for the gutter size. The wrap is open at the back toward the house wall, so if any water does get in, it can evaporate out. If you don't feel like doing that :-) then there is a wood replacement product (maybe it's the hardener you're talking about) that we've used on some other rotted out bits of the house. Can't really answer whether to remove the caulk. KarinL |

Cardiovascular Program
Outstanding outcomes in children's heart care Choosing where to bring your child for cardiovascular care is a major decision. We understand you want all the information you can get. And you want it in a clear, straightforward format that helps you make the right choice for your family. That's why we share our outcomes with you in as clear and straightforward a way as possible. In medicine, "outcomes" measure the end results of a treatment. They're an objective way of gauging how good a hospital is at treating your child's condition. As you'll see, the cardiovascular outcomes at Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota are great. The numbers below help show you how Children's is delivering quality cardiovascular care. |
Finding new ways to improve comfort and careAt Children's, we focus on research and innovations that make a difference at the bedside. From improving day-to-day quality of life for children and teens, to developing new pain management approaches and adopting cutting-edge technologies, our research is completely child and family-focused. Children's is engaged in many types of research, including investigator-initiated studies (led by a Children's clinician), as well as externally sponsored multicenter trials, observational studies and registries. Research studies are ongoing in all areas of the hospital and clinics, but read more about where our research has been published and presented below. |

The next time I visit New York, I definitely have to stop over at the D'Espresso coffee shop. Not only do I love my coffee, I also love libraries, even if they are flipped over onto their side.
Designed by Anurag Nema and his 'nemaworkshop' team, the D'Espresso coffee shop does not actually feature real shelves and books. Instead, it's a design gimmick made up of strategically placed tiles on the walls and floor. A clever concept, it'll make anyone feel like they've just stepped into Wonderland.

3840 St. Clair Ave. N.E.
Cleveland, Ohio
By Joe Oestreich
[more from this author]
Drag slider to rate this bar
A boilermaker
The Jerman (pronounced Yer-man) family opened its doors to the east side's workingmen in 1908. Today, looking out the bar's bay windows, it's clear that the neighboring factories on St. Clair Avenue weren't as deftly managed as Jerman's Café. But even if the avenue is now a ghost of its grease-and-guts heyday, the street's favorite bar sure hasn't changed much. A certificate of membership to the Ohio liquor league from 1917 still hangs on a wall that's the dirty yellow of smoke-stained teeth. Beer bottles still sweat into the original one-piece slab of wooden bar top. Mitzi's daughter, Susie, will still sling you a story while measuring an impossibly cheap inch of Jack into a highball, adding Coke straight from the can. And Mitzi's mutt, Roscoe, still yaps at customers as they are buzzed inside.
But Jerman's Café has changed. At the end of the bar, the lawn chair where Mitzi used to watch the Indians on TV sits empty. Mitzi poured drinks, cheered on the Tribe, and lived in the upstairs apartment -- the apartment where she was born -- almost to the end. When she died last October at ninety-two, the Plain Dealer ran her obit on the front page.
Mitzi saw a whole bunch of what there is to see in a place where men are free to be their best and worst selves -- from snooping T-men to backroom politics to the rise and fall and rise of punk rock -- but, sadly, she won't see her bar turn 100. You should, however. Bring a friend. Just not too many.

Talking face to face with ministry partners from other nations around the world provides unique perspectives and insights into ministry needs and opportunities. Making friends with international partners expands our hearts and minds for the world. This July, the North American Baptist Conference is planning to bring six international ministry partners to the 2015 Triennial Conference in Sacramento, giving all who attend an opportunity to personally connect with these special people.
Electricity is an enormous challenge in Cameroon, and even more so for hospitals with expensive electronic equipment, not to mention the challenge of regular power outages during surgery. Dr. Palmer is pioneering an effort to construct a Hydro Electric Dam near the hospital in Mbingo. This project would provide clean and consistent electricity, and would become one more piece of the plan to establish the Mbingo hospital as a premier teaching hospital in Cameroon. NAB is partnering with other organizations to fund this project.
Funding Goal: $2.5 million
The Cameroon hospital at Mbingo is quickly becoming a premier teaching hospital in Sub-Saharan Africa. The doctors we train at Mbingo will soon serve at mission hospitals in many other locations. But these doctors and families need housing during their internships. Your gift is a strategic part of multiplying our ministry through Cameroonian doctors. Goal: $140,000
Many seminary students do not have sufficient funds to cover their education expenses. By working to help maintain the large school campus, they can earn money that is applied to their tuition. Contributions are used to pay these students who work maintenance jobs.
The Life Abundant Primary Health Care program reaches into some of the remotest corners of Cameroon with basic health care and the Gospel of Christ. Trained village workers from these remote areas come to LAP Central for regular training and spiritual retreat. With prayer a strong, central focus of the LAP work since its inception, a quiet place on campus, designated for worship, prayer and meditation is greatly needed. A conducive round structure, to be built in a naturally treed setting, has been designed to fill this need. The prayer house will also be available to individuals and groups that seek a place for spiritual retreat.
Goal: $3,500
Well-trained teachers can make a real difference in the lives of the students in the Cameroon Baptist Convention's primary school system. Your $200 gift can make this happen.
Many Christian lay leaders and rural pastors do not have the opportunity to attend institutional Bible training. TEE provides Bible, evangelism, and leadership training by correspondence/small group teaching. Contributions are used to subsidize the cost of textbooks for the students.
Annual Goal: $5,000
One course of Chemo Therapy is equal to half a year's wage for the average Cameroon laborer. Your gift of $600 will subsidize the cost and make this life saving treatment available to patients in need.
$600 per course of treatment
Thank you for your generosity.
This project has been successfully completed.
Housing for our missionaries who teach at the Rain Forest International School has been built. Praise God for his abundant grace and the generosity of many supporters in completing this special project.

Extreme poverty among a minority ethnic group in East Asia makes basic education unaffordable. This fund will support one widow raising four children so they will not be forced to withdraw from school. Our staff will continue ministering to this minority group while ensuring that your gifts meet this foundational need.
Annual Goal: USD 2,700
NAB has a history of partnership with the Hungarian Baptist Convention of Romania that goes back over 20 years. In the year 2000, 60 acres of land was purchased by the generous support of NAB churches and donors. Now NAB is sending missionaries Paul and Tanya Gericke to work with Romanian leaders for the construction and development of this property. The camp will be used for evangelism, discipleship and leadership development, where children, young adults and families will have a place to grow. Your contribution will help the first phase of project design, drawings and site development. When this first phase is complete, we will launch a second phase for the actual construction of the facility.
In September 2011, Tony Dunaway (NAB CFO) visited Haiti with the purpose of identifying partners through whom NAB would distribute relief funds. God placed in Tony's heart (and reaffirmed many times) a desire and passion to serve the fatherless. A few months ago Tony began talking with the CEO of Every Orphan's Hope (EOH), an organization that is called to address the overwhelming impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the lives of orphans who have lost everything.


text: NAME Will Kemp AGE 25 WHERE YOU'VE SEEN HIM So he's the stunner grooving in those loose-fit jeans in Gap's ''For Every Generation'' campaign. COMMERCIAL SUCCESS A professional dancer who trained at London's Royal Ballet School (his credits include 1998's all-male ''Swan Lake'' on Broadway), British-born Kemp had no problem falling into the Gap: ''The Gap has tremendous, clever ads, so when I was approached, I was like, 'Absolutely.''' Besides, he says, ''I thrive on [being] able to do a high-profile job like the Gap campaign, then come back [to London] and hide in the obscurity of a small-scale theater production.'' IMPROV-ABILITY ''I don't think [the director and crew] knew what to tell me, and I didn't know what they wanted,'' says Kemp of the music-driven spots. ''I just got my rocks off and jumped around for a bit.'' NEXT More theater, and his big-screen debut opposite Val Kilmer and Christian Slater in ''Mindhunters,'' due next year.
