Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Forsooth for many men endeavoured to ordain the telling of things, which be filled in us, | 1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, |
2 as they that saw at the beginning, and were ministers of the word, betaken, | 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. |
3 it is seen also to me, having from the beginning all things diligently by order, to write to thee, thou best Theophilus, | 3 Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, |
4 that thou know the truth of those words, of which thou art learned.] * | 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. |
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a priest [there was some priest], Zacharias by name, of the sort of Abia, and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. | 5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. |
6 And [they] both were just before God, going in all the commandments and justifyings of the Lord, without plaint. | 6 Both of them were upright in the sight of God, observing all the Lord's commandments and regulations blamelessly. |
7 And they had no child, for [that] Elisabeth was barren, and both were of great age in their days [and both had gone far in their days]. | 7 But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren; and they were both well along in years. |
8 And it befell [Soothly it was done], that when Zacharias should do the office of priesthood, in the order of his course before God, | 8 Once when Zechariah's division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, |
9 after the custom of the priesthood, he went forth by lot [by sort he went forth], and entered into the temple [of the Lord], to incense. | 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. |
10 And all the multitude of the people was withoutforth, and prayed in the hour of incensing [praying in the hour of incense]. | 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside. |
11 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, and stood on the right half of the altar of incense [standing on the right half of the altar of incense]. | 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. |
12 And Zacharias seeing was afraid [And Zacharias seeing was distroubled], and dread fell upon him. | 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. |
13 And the angel said to him, Zacharias, dread thou not; for thy prayer is heard, and Elisabeth, thy wife, shall bear to thee a son, and his name shall be called John. | 13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John. |
14 And joy and gladding shall be to thee; and many shall have joy in his nativity, or birth. | 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, |
15 For he shall be great before the Lord, and he shall not drink wine nor cider, and he shall be full-filled with the Holy Ghost [and he shall be filled of the Holy Ghost] yet from his mother's womb. | 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth. |
16 And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to their Lord God; [And he shall convert many of the sons of Israel to the Lord God of them;] | 16 Many of the people of Israel will he bring back to the Lord their God. |
17 and he shall go before him in the spirit and virtue of Elias; and he shall turn the hearts of the fathers into the sons [and shall turn the hearts of the fathers into the sons], and men out of belief to the prudence of just men, to make ready a perfect people to the Lord. | 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." |
18 And Zacharias said to the angel, Whereof shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife hath gone far in her days. | 18 Zechariah asked the angel, "How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years." |
19 And the angel answered, and said to him [And the angel answering said to him], For I am Gabriel, that stand nigh before God; and I am sent to thee to speak, and to evangelize to thee these things [and to evangelize, or tell, to thee these things]. | 19 The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. |
20 And lo! thou shalt be dumb, and thou shalt not be able to speak till into the day, in which these things shall be done; for thou hast not believed to my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time. | 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their proper time." |
21 And the people was abiding Zacharias, and they wondered, that he tarried in the temple. | 21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. |
22 And he went out, and might not speak to them, and they knew that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he beckoned to them, and dwelled still dumb. | 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak. |
23 And it was done, when the days of his office were fulfilled, he went into his house. | 23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. |
24 And after these days Elisabeth, his wife, conceived, and hid her(self) five months, and said [saying], | 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. |
25 For so the Lord did to me in the days, in which he beheld, to take away my reproof among men. | 25 "The Lord has done this for me," she said. "In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people." |
26 But in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, whose name was Nazareth [to which the name Nazareth], | 26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, |
27 to a maiden [to a virgin], wedded to a man, whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the maiden was Mary. | 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. |
28 And the angel entered to her, and said, Hail, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed be thou among women. | 28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." |
29 And when she had heard, she was troubled in his word, and thought what manner salutation this was. | 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. |
30 And the angel said to her, Dread thou not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. | 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. |
31 Lo! thou shalt conceive in [the] womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. | 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. |
32 This shall be great [He shall be great], and he shall be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God shall give to him the seat of David, his father, | 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, |
33 and he shall reign in the house of Jacob without end [and he shall reign in the house of Jacob into without end], and of his realm shall be none end. | 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." |
34 And Mary said to the angel, On what manner shall this thing be done, for I know not man? | 34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" |
35 And the angel answered, and said to her, The Holy Ghost shall come from above into thee, and the virtue of the Highest shall overshadow thee; and therefore that holy thing that shall be born of thee, shall be called the Son of God. | 35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. |
36 And lo! Elisabeth, thy cousin, and she also hath conceived a son in her old (age), and this month is the sixth to her that is called barren; | 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. |
37 for every word shall not be impossible with God. | 37 For nothing is impossible with God." |
38 And Mary said, Lo! the handmaid of the Lord [+Forsooth Mary said, Lo! the handmaiden/handmaid of the Lord]; be it done to me after thy word. And the angel departed from her. | 38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. |
39 And Mary rose up in those days, and went with haste into the mountains, into a city of Judaea. [Soothly Mary rising up in those days, went with haste into the hilly places, into a city of Judaea.] | 39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, |
40 And she entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elisabeth. | 40 where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. |
41 And it was done, as Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the young child in her womb gladded. And Elisabeth was full-filled with the Holy Ghost [And Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost], | 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. |
42 and cried with a great voice, and said, Blessed be thou among women, and blessed be the fruit of thy womb. | 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! |
43 And whereof is this thing to me, that the mother of my Lord come to me? | 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? |
44 For lo! as the voice of thy salutation was made in mine ears, the young child gladded in joy in my womb [the young child gladded with joy in my womb]. | 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. |
45 And blessed be thou, that hast believed, for those things that be said of the Lord to thee [for those things that be said to thee from the Lord], shall be perfectly done. | 45 Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" |
46 And Mary said, My soul magnifieth the Lord, | 46 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord |
47 and my spirit hath gladded in God, mine health [mine health-giver]. | 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, |
48 For he hath beheld the meekness of his handmaiden. For lo! of this all generations shall say that I am blessed. [+For he hath beholden the meekness of his handmaiden/handmaid. Lo! forsooth of this all generations shall say me blessed.] | 48 for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, |
49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things, and his name is holy. | 49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me-- holy is his name. |
50 And his mercy is from kindred into kindreds [from kindreds into kindreds], to men that dread him. | 50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. |
51 He made might in his arm, he scattered proud men with the thought of his heart. | 51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. |
52 He put down mighty men from their seats, and enhanced meek men. | 52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. |
53 He hath full-filled hungry men with goods [He hath filled hungry men with good things], and he hath left rich men void. | 53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. |
54 He, having mind of his mercy, took Israel, his child; | 54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful |
55 as he hath spoken to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed, into worlds. | 55 to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers." |
56 And Mary dwelled with her, as it were three months [Forsooth Mary dwelled with her as three months], and turned again into her house. | 56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home. |
57 But the time of bearing child was fulfilled to Elisabeth, and she bare a son. | 57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. |
58 And the neighbours and the cousins of her heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her; and they thanked him [and they together joyed to her]. | 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy. |
59 And it was done in the eighth day, they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, by the name of his father. | 59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, |
60 And his mother answered, and said, Nay, but he shall be called John. | 60 but his mother spoke up and said, "No! He is to be called John." |
61 And they said to her, For no man is in thy kindred, that is called [by] this name. | 61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who has that name." |
62 And they beckoned to his father, what he would that he were called. [Soothly they made a sign to his father, whom he would him to be called.] | 62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. |
63 And he asking a stylus [a pointel], wrote, saying, John is his name. And all men wondered. | 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone's astonishment he wrote, "His name is John." |
64 And at once his mouth was opened [Forsooth his mouth was opened anon], and his tongue, and he spake, and blessed God. | 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was loosed, and he began to speak, praising God. |
65 And dread was made on all their neighbours, and all these words were published on all the mountains of Judaea [on all the hilly places of Judaea]. | 65 The neighbors were all filled with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people were talking about all these things. |
66 And all men that heard putted in their heart, and said, What manner child shall this be? For the hand of the Lord was with him. [And all men that heard put in their heart, saying, Who guessest thou, this child shall be? And soothly the hand of the Lord was with him.] | 66 Everyone who heard this wondered about it, asking, "What then is this child going to be?" For the Lord's hand was with him. |
67 And Zacharias, his father, was full-filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, and said, [And Zacharias, his father, was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,] | 67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied: |
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he hath visited, and made redemption of his people. | 68 "Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come and has redeemed his people. |
69 And he hath raised to us an horn of health in the house of David, his child. | 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David |
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, that were from the world. | 70 (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), |
71 Health from our enemies, and from the hand of all men that hated us [and from the hand of all that hated us]. | 71 salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us-- |
72 To do mercy with our fathers, and to have mind of his holy testament. | 72 to show mercy to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, |
73 The great oath [The oath] that he swore to Abraham, our father, | 73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham: |
74 to give himself to us. That we without dread delivered from the hand of our enemies, serve to him [That we delivered from the hand of our enemies, serve to him without dread], | 74 to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear |
75 in holiness and rightwiseness before him in all our days. | 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. |
76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways. | 76 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, |
77 To give science of health to his people, into remission of their sins; | 77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, |
78 by the inwardness of the mercy of our God, in the which [in which] he springing up from on high hath visited us. | 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven |
79 To give light to them that sit in darknesses and in the shadow of death; to direct [to dress] our feet into the way of peace. | 79 to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace." |
80 And the child waxed, and was comforted in spirit, and was in desert places unto the day [and was in desert till the day] of his showing to Israel. | 80 And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel. |

CHICAGO, September 23, 2013 — The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have been officially eliminated from the playoffs. In a year where so much was expected from this team, things just did not work out. Today the column wishes the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, better luck next year.
What Went Right: There is not enough room here to say how right Mike Trout has been. With Miguel Cabrera's injury, it is likely that Mike Trout will win the AL MVP despite committing the sin of playing for a team that did not contend, which is largely out of his control. Trout followed up one of the best seasons ever by a 20-year-old with one of the best seasons ever by a 21-year-old. He has a .326/.433/.562 slash line with an OPS+ of 181 while producing 9.2 WAR according to baseball reference. The question about Trout seems to have shifted from will he be able to maintain or improve upon these numbers to whether the Angels will be able to keep him in four years and how much will it cost?
SEE RELATED: Arizona gets knocked from playoff contention after loss to Dodgers
It is hard to believe that of the free agent signings by the Angels over the last two years the best one has been CJ Wilson. Wilson has logged over 200 innings for the fourth straight year with an ERA+ of 112 while striking out 20.5% of batters faced and walking 9.1% of batters faced. The Angels' staff has been the focus of the blame for their poor season, but it is largely the backend of the staff because Wilson, Jered Weaver, and Garrett Richards provide hope the team can fix this flaw for next year.
Jered Weaver, while not up to the Cy Young worthy levels of the last three years, posted a 112 ERA+, struck out 19% of batters faced and walked a career low 5.9% of batters faced. Garrett Richards may never be an ace, but he is under team control for five more years and has developed into a league average starter with a 100 ERA+. While a team will likely not be successful with five pitchers like Richards, he is not the issue and will allow the Angels to only have to fill two spots in their rotation for next year.
What Went Wrong: Albert Pujols and his difficulties this year were discussed in this column here. While his season, and time so far with the Angels, has been a disappointment it seems that Pujols has been playing with this issue for multiple years and if he feels better next year hopefully he can bounce back to the levels of output he had in his final year in St. Louis, if not better.
SEE RELATED: San Diego Padres are not playoff bound in 2013
The Angels signed Josh Hamilton from their division rival Rangers this past offseason and people wondered how this offense could be stopped. Hamilton, however, struggled in his first year with the Angels, posting a .245/.302/.429 line. Many doubted that Hamilton could stay healthy, but he has played in 144 games so far this season. Hamilton struck out in 24.8% of his appearances while walking in 7.4% of his at bats. While neither is a career high, having a strike out rate above his career average and a walk rate below his career average are not positive indicators for Hamilton.
Joe Blanton posted the worst ERA+ of his career with a 62 and ugly peripherals. The Angels have him under contract next year, as well, for $7.5 million, but should have other options going into spring training. Even getting league average production from his rotation spot would be an improvement over Blanton.
Finally the Angels' farm system entered the season ranked 30th according to Baseball America. While there have been discussions of trading Howie Kendrick for pitching help, the Angels need to explore all avenues to improve their farm system to provide help to the big club.
What to Look for in 2014: If Arte Moreno decides to open his wallet again this year he should do so for pitching help. The offense still has potential if Hamilton can bounce back, Pujols comes back healthy and Trout maintains or even improves upon his 2013 production. While there are not many great free agent pitchers available even league average production out of the fourth and fifth spots may be enough to allow the team to contend.

Hello, I'm Adrianne, from Color Me Cookie, and I have been decorating cookies for almost three years now. Last year, I made pilgrim cookies for thanksgiving and loved how they turned out. I am very excited to show how I transformed my favorite gnome cutter into these precious pilgrims. I've said it before, I love cutters that can be used in a variety of ways. Two of my favorites are these gnome cutters by Klickitat Street. I've used … [Read more...]

Halloween Candy Bucket Cookies
Halloween is almost here and I can't wait to raid...I mean CHECK my kid's candy stash. In the meantime, I made my own Halloween candy, cookie-style. I'd originally planned to use a skull cutter for this design, but after sketching, I realized my jack o' lantern stencil was too big for the cutter I had in mind. Instead I went with a candy corn. Before decorating I traced around the bottom of the cutter with a food safe marker to map out … [Read more...]
Easy Pumpkin Pie Slice Cookies
I have a confession. I'm one of those people that doesn't like pumpkin pie. I know, what a weirdo.

Decorated Cheerleader Cookies
In Texas, Friday is synonymous with football, which makes it the perfect day for decorated cheerleader cookies. But before we get to the decorating, I want to share a little story about what I learned from these cookies.

One of my unbeloved Schubert Chokecherry Trees is in need of trimming again this spring. When it was smaller, I left three main branches as it didn't give much privacy without the extra foliage and branches. It's now bigger and I should probably correct the problem I created. (Or just cut the stupid thing down and replace it. That may give me even more headaches as the previous owner planted it quite close to the gas line) With three main branches shaped like a three pronged fork, I'm asking for trouble, as it causes weakness, correct? The outer two are about 7 inches in diameter. I should cut them completely off this spring and the main trunk will continue to branch out further won't it? Or have I created a narrow tree for myself? |

I hear you.. Perhaps taking it out and grind the stump,..wouldn't that make you happy? Not sure if the remaining roots will shoot up one's in a while? Cutting off that branch should work also, I find they readily shoot out from the trunk but need to be patient a couple of years. |

I grafted 30 varieties on 30 rootstalks. 5 each B9,G11,G16,G30,MM111 and B118. Mostly whip and tongue, a few cleft and bark grafts. Beyond my wildest expectations all scions leafed out and grew. I almost gave up on dabinett and one other variety but about 2 weeks after the rest they leafed out. Scions on bud9 and bud118 were the slowest to respond. I have no idea why.
I grafted at various heights on the rootstock to have the best diameter match any where from 6" to a foot.
Rootstocks on fairled grafts are still green, so will try to regraft but there seem to no viable budding growth on them. |

Bruce, if the rootstocks are freshly planted this year then there can be a reason to keep a nurse shoot going - the root is already weak and it can get so weak that it lacks the energy to feed the graft. One nurse limb can solve that problem. What you have to be careful with is too much nurse growth which will dominate and wipe out the scion. I will pinch back the nurse growth if it gets too long. Leave any mature sized leaves, they will feed the graft. Also don't leave any nurse growth on persimmons or nuts, they will kill off the graft. Rootstocks planted the previous year have enough vigor that there is no need for a nurse shoot. All my apple grafts these days are top workings and I leave no nurse shoots on them. Scott |
Bruce, Because G30 wood is brittle, it makes for very difficult grafting. Even the pros have problems with it. The solution is to summer (greenwood) bud. You will have no problems if you bud in August. I'm far from experienced and I've had great success with chip and T buds. Your buds will callus before the tree goes dormant. Then just before bud break in the spring, prune just above the bud. Leave enough of a stub to use as a stake. It's a piece of cake. Marc |
Thanks for the comments guys. |
Scott, Thanks for your observations on the nurse leaves--interesting. What's your experience with grafting potted trees and then planting them in the same season? I have a lot of potted pawpaws to graft and eventually plant out, and while I'd like to get them out of the pots ASAP, I've been told that I shouldn't graft and plant in the same year. Your thoughts? Of course, the alternative is to plant out now and graft next year.....but I have the scionwood now. Thanks, |
- Posted by scottfsmith 6B-7A-MD (My Page) on Sun, Jun 3, 12 at 23:38
Marc, I don't do anything with potted plants other than starting seedlings in the spring and purchasing the occasional potted plant. On my purchases I have found I can plant a potted plant about any time and it does well, so I don't see why a graft in a pot could not be planted after it got going well. Maybe potted pawpaws are more of a problem, they transplant less well than other plants. Scott |
Whip grafted 10 G30 this spring. Like scott said, leave a nurse branch. I left one near the base of each rootstock. The grafts have almost growth as the nurse branch, about 6". In two weeks they will be removed as there should be 8" or so on the grafts, and that should be enough to feed the rootstock. I am using a bamboo stake as a splint to hold the graft to the rootstock for the first year, as the union is said to be weak on some apples. After that, 2 T post. Tyrone |
Tyrone, with so much success with G30, you are one good grafter! Nice work. Good hands and a very sharp nice, I imagine. Thanks for tips on using the nurse branches, too. The next time I am tempted to graft G30 instead of budding, I will try it. Marc |
Rootstock was from cummins, big and healthy. I grew them for two months then grafted. Used a box cutter, and changed the blade every 4 grafts. Two grafts for each half of the blade. Alot of pratice and failures before I got to be halfway decent at this. |
Tyrone, I use a box cutter for my easy grafts: buds and small clefts. I still struggle with flat cuts for whip and tongue. I just purchased a utility cutter from Sears--recommended by some very experienced grafters--that is sort of an anvil pruner. It's meant to cut through leather, hose, thin metal--but it makes a great cut for whip and tongue grafts. I've been practicing with it, but no real grafts yet. I really like it--super clean cuts. For those of us without good knife skills, it might be the ticket. Marc |
Marc, is that the "Accu-cut" for ~$30 or perhaps the "Handi-cut" for ~$14? Thanks, Mark |
If you are having trouble with making a long flat surface, try this scraper from Uline. I have not used it to make grafts, but to shave wood and a few other things. Easy to make a 3" sloping cut. Easy to change blades. Pratice making cuts over the summer. You can buy all the gadgets and gizmos you want, but there is no substitute for hands on pratice. Good luck. Tyrone |
Here is a link that might be useful: scraper.

I see a lot of info on grafting.I Have never grafted before.This year I lost a apricot tree due to bad drainage.I fixed drainage sprouts came up from root stock.4shoots are growing well.Can I graft on the shoots? I have plums,peaches,nectarines,plum cot will Any work and when should I try. |
Mark, I bought the Handi-Cut from Sears--$14.99. I've only practiced with it--no "real" grafts yet. But it makes a great cut and a beautiful base for a whip and tongue. I'll be giving it a good workout this weekend--warm weather here in the 80s, which makes for perfect conditions for pawpaw grafting. Tyrone, I have not thought to use a scaper for grafting, but I have read that a simple wood plane can make a very fine flat surface for whip and tongue. I may try one. You are right--practice, practice, practice. Marc |

FOXBORO — There could be times this season when the Patriots will have two big Europeans playing offensive tackle.
The Pats fully expect to have a German at right tackle. That is fifth-year man Sebastian Vollmer, who was born and spent his childhood in Dusseldorf, Germany. Vollmer has settled in nicely ever since his rookie season with only several injury problems slowing him down.
At times during the first week of training camp, the left tackle has been newcomer Will Svitek, who was born in Prague, in what was then Czechoslovakia. While the 6-foot-8, 320-pound Vollmer came to this country via a conventional route — he was recruited to play football after excelling in the game as a youngster in his home country — Svitek has taken a much more unusual road to Foxboro.
As he describes it, it all began with a trip much like the one featured by the von Trapp Family in, "The Sound of Music." He was 2 years old at the time.
"I was born in 1982 … I had three older brothers and my parents kind of decided that they didn't want their four children to grow up in a Communist regime," Svitek said. "They wanted us to realize our fullest potential. So basically it was kind of like my dad's dream to escape out of Czechoslovakia.
"We hiked over the mountains over to Austria, where we stayed in a refugee camp for about eight months until we got legalized to come to the United States. My dad's vision was to achieve the American Dream and come here and fulfill his fullest potential."
"I was the youngest of four boys," he continued, "so my dad and my brothers took turns carrying me. I was little. I was a little 2-year-old. It's hard to imagine now, but my younger brothers were older. They told my brothers we on a military hike to keep them quiet. It was like a game, but you couldn't talk."
Once they received permission to come to the United States, the family settled in California and very much lived out their American Dream. For Will Svitek, it helped that he is a strong student.
"I had an amazing opportunity to go to Stanford and I'm playing here in the NFL, so it's a dream come true. You wouldn't have those opportunities anywhere else. So I'm grateful for the sacrifices my dad made," he said.
"I think they [Svitek's parents] instilled in me to do everything well," he says in the Patriots' media guide for 2013. "I am a competitive person on the field and in the classroom, and I don't think you can just turn that switch off."
Among other work, Svitek has attended all four NFL Business Management & Entrepreneurial programs, at the Harvard Business School, Penn's Wharton School of Business, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern, and the Stanford Business School. Svitek speaks about how fortunate he feels.
"Obviously, my parents taught me a lot about work ethic and dedication, not taking things for granted," he said. "I always think back to that. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have here. I always want to make them proud and fulfill my fullest potential, because that's the kind of sacrifices they made."
Svitek, who has traveled extensively around the world during NFL offseasons, has returned to his home country, now the Czech Republic, three times. His parents, Milan and Eva, have accompanied him.
"They lived in Czechoslovakia for 40 years. They were the best tour guides you can imagine," he said. His trips also have included taking part in programs sponsored by the NFL in which players visit the Middle East to meet with American troops.
Svitek's football career has been unusual. He played defensive end for Stanford and had 60 tackles, 4 1/2 for loss, two sacks, one forced fumble and one interception. He was drafted in the sixth round by the Chiefs in 2005. It was there that he was converted to offensive tackle. He obviously has the athleticism to handle it. While at Stanford he was a two-time national decathlon champion.
"There definitely were some growing pains," he said. "It's hard enough to make the transition [to the NFL], let alone from the defensive line to the offensive line. It's a learning process. I'm still learning here in year nine."
Svitek says Patriots line coach Dante Scarnecchia is teaching him new techniques that he had not previously been exposed to.
He spent three years with the Chiefs and four with the Falcons, where he started 10 games in 2011. In between, he played for a year in the European League. His career looked to be in jeopardy when he suffered an injury to his upper right arm in training camp with the Falcons last August and was relegated to injured reserve. The Patriots signed him to a free agent contract in March. He now looks to be the leading candidate to earn the job as the Pats third tackle.

In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
Youth play a cooperative game.
Fold one sheet in half. Space participants evenly around the sheet and have them toss the rubber chicken up and down on the sheet. Then divide the group into two teams. Give the second team another folded sheet and ask the teams to pass the chicken back and forth. Participants can call out "faster" or "slower" or create any variation they chose.
Process the activity by asking how well the teams cooperated and what made cooperation easier or harder. Ask what real life implications they discovered about cooperating.

Outline of Need:
The education of future rural generations is vital if a community wants to continue to support itself and offer increased economic value to a nation. Smaller universities offer higher education for rural youth, yet they may not always have the capacity to accommodate the increasing number of students. Rural communities must be able to offer unique educational experiences to sustain populations and to educate the masses.
How Rural Development Helped:
Through the Rural Economic Development Loan (REDL) Program, Missouri Rural Development provided an interest free loan to the Ralls County Electric Cooperative to support the construction of a higher education center in Hannibal, Missouri for Moberly Area Community College (MACC). MACC is a public community college located in Moberly, Missouri offering over 40 certificate and degree programs. The college has an enrollment in excess of 5,500 students in seven (7) locations.
The Results:
Janie Dunning, Missouri State Director, attended the higher education center ground-breaking in Hannibal on November 7, 2012. Ralls County Electric Cooperative received a $1,000,000 zero-interest loan from USDA Rural Development. The funds were used to provide financing to MACC for the new facility.
The new higher education center will contain 16,890 square feet. Land was donated to MACC for construction of the facility.
Included in the facility will be classroom/instructional rooms, library resources and services, student support areas, and facility and staff offices. MACC has been in leased space in Hannibal since 2000 and due to their great reputation and the interest by the community in continuing education they have outgrown this space.
This facility will allow MACC to expand course offerings and to handle increasing enrollments. Current enrollment in Hannibal for MACC courses exceeds 300 students. With the new facility, students will be given an enhanced learning opportunities and Hannibal a community and economic development asset.

ROSEMONT, Ill. — Giving the power conferences more autonomy in a restructured NCAA could help address the "existential threats" that plague college sports at their highest level, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said.
The five conferences — the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and ACC — don't want to leave the NCAA or even form their own division, Delany said Thursday. But they need the power to make decisions that directly affect the financial and educational well-being of their athletes.
"We're not talking about pay for play," Delany said, speaking at the Big Ten's basketball media day. "We are talking about the cost of education, kind of scholarship. We're talking about a long-term educational commitment, perhaps beyond the time they're student-athletes. We're talking about managing the at-risk student. We're talking about the time demands.
"We have to be able to do what we need to do in order to address those issues, and we need the authority to do it."
The NCAA has been battered by a series of scandals over the last year, most centering around money. The long and messy investigation at Miami, sparked by a booster, finally wrapped up last week. Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel was suspended for the first half of Texas A&M's season opener for an "inadvertent" violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs. A Yahoo report last month said a runner for agents provided improper benefits to football players at Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi State.
And despite support from the NCAA's board, the full membership has twice rejected a rules change that would have allowed schools to give athletes money for expenses not covered by their scholarships — clothes, travel, meals out with their friends. Houston Texans running back Arian Foster said in a documentary that he accepted money his senior year at Tennessee, in part to pay rent and buy food.
"There are a variety of threats. We don't have control over a lot of it," Delany said. "But what you do have control over you should try to grapple with, and I think restructuring gives us the chance to manage the policies that we still have some control over."
NCAA leaders appear to agree. After getting input on restructuring from nine groups, including the conference commissioners, the NCAA board said Wednesday that while it believes presidents should still be in charge, some schools should have greater leeway in making decisions affecting their athletes, particularly when it comes to finances and scholarships. The board also said it should focus more on overall strategy and vision and less on day-to-day operational activities.
"I thought it was a good step," Delany said.
A steering committee, led by NCAA board chair Nathan Hatch, will now craft proposals for restructuring. Those will be presented at the NCAA convention in January, and Hatch hopes a final plan will be ready by the spring.
"We don't want to draw lines and put certain people in and certain people out. We don't want anybody else's money. We don't want to change one of the great events in the world," Delany said, referring to the NCAA basketball tournament.
"But right now, the level playing field philosophy is so powerful and the differences among the 351 schools and 32 conferences is something we can't really deal with," Delany said. "We're going to have to get the change."

"Our pitchers did great only allowing four hits, but more impressive was the fact there was only one walk. In these early games of the season, walks can kill you, but my guys threw strikes all day," said A's coach Billy Massingale. "On the offensive side of the house, walks got us plenty of base runners. we had nine batters walk and two hit by pitches. Combine that with some timely base hits from lead-off batter and walker valley standout Dalton Montgomery, Tyler Hogan and former Cleveland State star Brad weir — who had four RBIs in game one — and we put up two runs in the first and four in the second. That would be all we needed as our Pitchers closed the door."
After a brief rain delay, game two had the same formula with good pitching and timely hitting. Former Bradley and Cleveland State standout Tanner Thompson threw an almost a perfect game giving up only one hit in five innings while striking out 11 of the 16 batters he faced.
"His fast ball was moving and smacking the mitt hard," said the A's coach.
Massingale came the last two innings giving up the lone run of the day on an error and a base hit, but recovered nicely striking out five in the last two innings.
"It was almost unfair after facing a mid 80s fastball for me to come in and throw nothing but off speed stuff. Between the two of us we had their timing all mixed up.," he said.
Offensively, the lower part of the order came alive. Brad weir continued to hit the ball hard with four singles and a two-run bomb over the center-field fence to add two more RBIs to his day's total of six. Former Bradley Bear Tyler Cross was 2-4, with an RBI. Steve Currie also doubled in the 7-1 win for the A's
"Over all we were just happy to get in some baseball with two straight weekends of rain outs. If our pitching stays as solid as it was Saturday, we will improve on our fourth-place finish from last year. We play the East Chattanooga Pirates Sunday at Ooltewah Recreation Field," said Massingale.

A couple of days ago, I posted a video from Palestine's only brewery, Taybeh Beer, founded in 1993 by Nadim Khoury, who learned to homebrew while living in Boston. I admit that I wondered how the beer tastes, so I was delighted to hear from fellow beer blogger David Turley, who writes Musings Over A Pint. Turley had an opportunity to try the beer during a trip with his family to Jerusalem last August. He recently posted his impressions of the beer and stories from his pilgrimage in Taybeh, A Beer Without A Country. Give it a read, it definitely helps round out the story. Thanks for your insights David.
Don Younger Memorial
Sadly, the date chosen for Don Younger's memorial last Sunday meant I could not attend. There were too many long-standing obligations with SF Beer Week. Happily the Bay Area was well-represented, with several friends in attendance, including Dave Keene and Jennifer Smith from the Toronado, Vinnie and Natalie Cilurzo from Russian River Brewing, and Tom Dalldorf, publisher of the Celebrator Beer News. Tom took a lot of photos and was kind enough to write a guest post for me, giving his account of the day. He also has a great piece up on the Celebrator website entitled Don Remembered. Thanks Tom.
Don Younger Memorial, a Guest Post by Tom Dalldorf
A memorial for the late Don Younger, renowned publican and ultimate beer industry character, HAD to be held at his world famous Horse Brass Pub in Portland. The only question was how. Everyone even remotely connected to the beer industry knew him and respected his many contributions to brewing and beer culture and would want to be there.
Tom Dalldorf posing with one of many Don Younger life-size stand-ups at the memorial.
Close family and HB staff decided to hold two gatherings on Sunday, February 13, to celebrate his life and times. One would be by invitation only and held inside the pub starting at 11 am and the other would be open to the public and start at 2 pm under tents erected in the parking lot behind the pub.
Gary Fish (from Deschutes), Kurt Widmer (from Widmer Brothers) and beer writer Fred Eckhardt.
The usual Portland rain seemed to mercifully hold up while the set up and arrivals took place. Beer industry veterans and personal friends from as far away as England arrived to celebrate Don's many accomplishments and tell outrageous Don stories late into the afternoon. The small but tightly knit PNC (Publican National Committee), of which Don was a founding member, gathered with Tom Peters, Monk's Café in Philadelphia, having traveled furthest to be there. Others included Matt Bonny, Brouwer's Café in Seattle; Chris Black, Falling Rock in Denver and David Keene, Toronado in San Francisco.
Lisa Morrison, Chris and Cheryl Black (from the Falling Rock) and Tom Peters (from Monk's Café).
Around 1 pm a toast to his memory was offered in the pub with an amazing number of shots of his favorite Macallum 12 year old Scotch distributed to the guests. Yet another toast took place inside and in the tent set up in the parking lot packed with Younger fans. This toast was picked up at pubs and beer joints all across the Pacific Coast time zone promptly at 3 pm. Jay Brooks led the toast at the Sour Beer Fest at Triple Rock in Berkeley. Others toasted at 3 pm in their own time zones.

Thoughts On The New Dietary Guidelines From Beer Business Daily
You most likely hard that the USDA released the quinquennial Dietary Guidelines for Americans at the end of last month. The 2010 version made a number of small, but significant changes with regard to food, such as "make half your plate fruits and vegetables" and "drink water instead of sugary drinks."
In Chapter 3, they also made one small change to how they define an "alcoholic drink."
Harry Schuhmacher commented on the guidelines in today's Beer Business Daily newsletter. With Harry's permission, below I've reprinted his thoughts on the Dietary Guidelines and specifically the changes to the alcohol portion of them:
Earlier this week the USDA issued its 2010 Dietary Guidelines as it does every 5 years. It states: "One drink is defined as 12 fluid ounces of regular beer (5% alcohol), 5 fluid ounces of wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 fluid ounces of 80 proof (40% alcohol) distilled spirits. One drink contains 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol."
Now, you'd think this maybe isn't a big deal. Well, you'd be wrong on that. It is.
Here's why: The previous USDA Dietary Guidelines five years ago had very similar language, although it was fought tooth and nail by the beer and wine lobbies. However, this time the feds added the crucial last sentence: "One drink contains 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol." [Emphasis added.]
This further puts the Feds on record as saying, basically, a drink is a drink is a drink, even though we all know in reality that's not the case. You can be sure that Diageo and DISCUS — the spirits lobby — worked with a laser focus to get this sentence added. It's the next step toward alcohol equivalency (for excise tax, labeling, and consumer access issues), even though Diageo and DISCUS have previously said this is not what they're after.
LABELING: First let's consider labeling. As we know, the federal TTB is considering (since 2003) allowing alcohol producers to include voluntarily display serving facts (which includes standard alcohol content for servings) on labels. This is an issue that large distillers support, but brewers and wineries typically oppose because some believe the push for serving facts is a stalking horse for equivalency.
INDUSTRY SPLIT ON STANDARD DRINK: The Wine Institute and DISCUS are on the same side of most issues, such as opposing the CARE Act, but standard drink isn't one of them.
DISCUS followed the release of the Guidelines with a statement. "The Government today emphasized the scientific fact that a standard drink of beer, wine and distilled spirits each contains the same amount of alcohol," said Dr. Monica Gourovitch, Distilled Spirits Council's svp of scientific affairs. "Alcohol is alcohol and it all should be treated equally, as a matter of public health and public policy."
Monica told our sister publication, WSD, that the updated definition is "very clear" and shows that "each standard drink contains the same amount of alcohol." When looking at the science involved, each serving has the "same effect on the body — potential benefits and potential risks." She also noted that the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) already defines a standard alcoholic drink as anything containing 0.6 fluid ounces.
Wait ….. 0.6 fluid ounces of alcohol? Not 0.5 fluid ounces? There are plenty of public health folks who defined drinks as having 0.5 fluid ounces of alcohol as a standard drink. Who, I wonder, lobbied the USDA to add that extra 0.1 fluid ounce to the definition?
The Wine Institute, for one, is livid. For once they are on the other side of DISCUS on an issue. The WI issued a statement on Tuesday, saying there is no such thing as a standard drink: "We agree with the time-tested definition of a serving as being 12 fl. oz. of regular beer, 5 fl. oz. of wine, or 1.5 fl. oz. of 80-proof distilled spirits but are concerned about the additional statement that each of the drinks contains the same amount of alcohol. A precise fluid-ounces-of-alcohol statement implies that the alcohol content is the same for every drink of wine, beer or distilled spirits when, in reality, alcohol content varies widely from drink to drink. Consumers should not be misled into believing there is such a thing as a 'standard drink.' In fact, the term 'standard drink' does not appear in the Dietary Guidelines." This is true. But it doesn't dull the fact that a federal agency has swallowed the equivalency argument hook, line and sinker while the rest of the industry sleeps.
The Beer Institute and the NBWA have remained mute on this issue, so far. But clearly it is important: As one alcohol politico told me: "Once the language is in a federal government guideline, it's in the bloodstream." What he meant by that is that, since the USDA has defined a drink as 0.6 ounces of alcohol, it gives the TTB cover to move forward with their "serving facts" labeling, and maybe it gives the states the argument to increase taxes on beer and wine and offer it at more times and in more channels, and maybe it gives the feds something to point to when considering an excise tax increase. It's a slippery slope, my friends, toward equalization of taxes and access among the beverages, which works against beer and wine and is probably just bad public policy. In fact, if alcohol excise taxes were suddenly equivalent, it would virtually kill the wine and beer industries, and we'd be a nation of vodka swillers like Russia, wiping away 200+ years of cultural and policy differences between the beverages. It was Thomas Jefferson who logically first put forward the notion that moderation should be nurtured by the government by encouraging the consumption of beer and wine over spirits.
As usual, a distributor put it most succinctly: "So a Four Loko is the same as Jack Daniels is same as Coors Light is same as Mad Dog 20/20 is same as a hot 17% abv California cab is the same as an 11% abv Italian white? Really?"
It brings to mind the old story where August Busch III went to Capitol Hill and demonstrated to a Congressman considering equivalency that a drink is not a drink. He reportedly said, "I'll drink these three Budweisers, and you drink these three dry martinis, and at the end we'll see who is more intoxicated." It's a shame our beer industry leaders don't pull more stunts like that.
Ethanol is ethanol, to be sure. But different types of bev-alc are consumed by the majority of Americans in different ways. Ethanol is ethanol, but a drink is not a drink.
Thanks Harry. If you don't know about his Beer Business Daily, especially if you're in the beer business, I highly recommend it. You really should subscribe to Harry's newsletter.
Who's Behind The Booze Tax
James Spencer at Public CEO, a California government-focused blog, has an interesting read today about an e-mail he received from the Marin Institute and what he found when he looked closer at it. It's entitled Who's Really Behind the Booze Tax and Why? and it's certainly great to see more people taking a critical look at San Francisco's proposed new tax on alcohol and exposing it for what it really is.
His conclusion?
They hate alcohol and don't want it around. Fair enough, but why weren't they open from the start? The email should have read: "We are against alcohol and we don't want you to drink it." The Marin Institute isn't looking out for the best interest of the city of San Francisco or its economy. It has its own interests. And if their true goal is to stop us from drinking alcohol, then they must understand that this tax is going to have a dramatic effect on reducing sales, right? Sounds like they are making the argument for why this additional alcohol fee would be a terrible idea.
Beer Sophistication
Chris Ballard, a beer blogger, has an interesting piece up that he wrote for Blog Critics, Beer is More Sophisticated Than Wine, where he brings together many of the arguments that people have made over the years to showcase beer's sophistication, especially as compared with wine. I'm not sure it's necessary to take on wine. That beer is more complex is at this point almost a given. But still, it's a nice little rant. The only thing I disagree with is his assertion that Plato is an I.P.A. man. Everyone knows Plato preferred whisky. "Plato, they say, could stick it away—Half a crate of whisky every day."

Canned Beer Dinner
Last month, Monk's Cafe and Beer Emporium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hosted a unique beer dinner with beer cook Lucy Saunders at the helm to support her new book, Grilling with Beer. All of the beers paired with each course was a craft beer in a can. A growing trend among small brewers, there are better than two dozen now putting their beer in a can. The Philadelphia Inquirer attended and reviewed the dinner, titling their article "Can do — craft-beer makers kicking glass, going metal." Lucy sent me some of her photos from the dinner.
Lucy also was kind enough to provide her write-up of the event:
Craft brewers certainly can be proud of canned beer – at least, that's the take-home message from a celebration of all-American grilled food and canned brews at Monk's Café, Philadelphia, PA, in May.
To help Lucy Saunders launch her newest book, Grilling with Beer, Chef Adam Glickman and his culinary team prepared a banquet of BBQ ribs and fixings. Hosts Fergus Carey and Tom Peters called on top craft brewers offering their wares in cans to share the bounty.
Answering the call from San Francisco, California, brewer Shaun O'Sullivan of the 21st Amendment traveled cross-continent to celebrate his birthday at Monk's, bringing both the stellar Watermelon Wheat Ale and the IPA in cans. Chuck Williamson drove all the way from Garrattsville, across NY state to deliver cold cases of Heinnieweisse to the door. (Cans do travel well, provided they are kept cold.)
Stacks of cans grew like Great Pyramids of Giza on tabletops, as we sampled skewers of apricot-wheat ale chicken, Malt Monster Shrimp with 21st Amendment's Watermelon Wheat and the Butternuts Heinnieweisse. Brooklyn Lager paired with Chef Glickman's grilled asparagus salad, and Dale's Pale Ale partnered with the Porter Ginger Salmon Skewers. Sly Fox's tasty canned offerings accompanied the beerbistro's tender Apple Ale Ribs (braised in Éphémère Pomme before finishing on the new grill in Monk's kitchen).
And at the end, we pulled the pop-tops off of cans of Old Chub Scottish ale, malty and rich enough to handle the Adult S'mores, stuffed with melted bittersweet Belgian chocolate and marshmallows made with St. Bernardus.
It was a cook-out to celebrate craft beer tasting just as the brewers intended, served from cool and classic aluminum cans, so convenient for any BBQ with beer. That's why I think of cans as mini-kegs, perfect for keeping flavors fresh.

Sasquatch Brew Fest in Eugene
Last Saturday, while I was attending the Santa Rosa Beerfest, 550 miles to the north in Eugene, Oregon, another beer festival was taking place. The fifth annual Sasquatch Brew Fest is a benefit for the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation, a charity set up after the untimely death of the well-known Eugene brewer in 2002. The Foundation provides scholarships for brewers to attend the Siebel Institute in Chicago.
Shaun O'Sullivan, co-founder and brewmaster of 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco, attended the festival and was kind enough to share some of his photos. Thanks Shaun.

Of course you have room for stacked cabinets. 9' ceilings are fine with 30" + 15" cabinets plus 9" crown. Or 33" + 15" with 6" of crown. If you had the budget discussion with the cabinet maker and stressed that you need to come in at a certain number, then he may have heard that loud and clear. The design he gave you may be what your budget buys. The GW wish list kitchen is a great, but EXPENSIVE, kitchen. There's probably at least a 2xto 2.5 factor between the kitchen that he drew there, and what your wish list contains. Are you OK with that? (Adding those stacked cabinets makes it 3x+++) |
Oh, I didn't explain myself well. :) Right now we have 39" cabinets and originally we had 10" ceilings and we were going to have stacked cabinets, with the higher ceilings. However, with the 9" ceilings the additional cabinet didn't fit, and I like the look of the tall cabinet doors, and wouldn't want to stacked with 9' ceilings. I also like how the budget looks without them! As for the drawers, I have a quote that says all lower cabinets ( other than sinks and corners) will be drawers... And I got this! |
This post was edited by Laura12 on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 9:06
Oh, and we already bought all the appliances, half are sitting in my current garage! |
Get a new designer. If they blew off what you wanted during planning and didn't give you options or explinations what will dealing with them be like on the rest of the project? |
Oh, how I wish that was an option! We are getting our cabinets from a local custom shop that has great prices, but they don't have a true kitchen designer. I have looked, but can't find an independent option in my area... Anyone know someone that will design my kitchen remotely? :) |
Perhaps I provided too much information. Here are some questions we really need help with. - What direction should the prep sink be in? |
- Posted by laurajane02 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 15:40
I'll try to help. I'm not a design expert, but I do have a layout similar to yours. Prep sink: I think it should be across from your rangetop to separate your prep and clean up zones. Trash: If your trash goes in the island right where the 19' marker is on your layout, it would be accessible from both prep zones and clean-up zones. I think this would be the best space, unless you are putting in 2 trash pullouts. M/W: I'm not sure about this with your plan. Generally you want the microwave near your fridge, but not in your prep zone. You also don't want to attract people through your prep zone to get to your m/w. Maybe near your ovens? With seating in your island opposite the pantry, you have to make aisle allowances (I could be wrong, but I think it's 60" for seating + walking path). If you have a normal 42" aisle on the other side, your island won't be centered in your kitchen. I'm not sure how you feel about this, but you will be losing some symmetry in your island placement. |
Before they wasted all their/your time and money designing and drafting up something that didn't meet your specs, they should have had the discussion that your list exceeded your budget or certain things could not be achieved -- providing options and areas for your own decision making for either cutting back or spending more. Skipping steps/preliminary work and not communicating with the client spells trouble. |
My list does not exceed my budget, actually my budget is fairly flexible (within reason) so that isn't the issue at all. This really should have been two threads... One about how I dislike the communication I am getting with my cabinet place, and one ask for help! I have a quote that clearly says that my design will have all lower drawers, other than sinks, corners and a single trash pullout. I just talked to the person doing the design, and she confirmed that everything I wanted was covered in our quote. I do need to move forward with buying cabinets from this particular store, the contract has been signed, and the price is right, I just really need some design help as I'm being limitied by their lack of expertise. They make great cabinets, they don't provide great communication. If anyone knows of an independent kitchen designer that would work on a project like this remotely and they are available ASAP I would be quite interested! |

laurajane02. I was thinking the same as you regarding the prep sink, but she swaped it so someone at the prep sink would but up against someone at the stove. After thinking a prep sink was such a great idea for the past year of planning, I'm nearly ready to through it out the window! For the trash we need a single pullout that has two bins. Maybe your location is a good solution. Originally the designer put the fridge where the ovens were, and the ovens where the fridge is now. I moved it as the result of GW advice but now I am rethinking. If the fridge was over by the ovens, it would be a logical place for the microwave, and a great spot for a little beverage center. Kids could also come into the kitchen grab something out of the fridge and/or pantry put something in the microwave and then get out of the kitchen without entering the cooking zones... The aisles are 44" counter to counter, and I'm going to adjust that so it is 44" from the appliances to the counter. I think that should be enough... Anyone else have any experience with that? |
The numbers appear to just be labeling each cabinet for future reference. My cabinetmaker did the same thing. |
- Posted by laurajane02 (My Page) on Thu, Jun 6, 13 at 17:05
Fwiw, I did not have a KD. I consulted this forum to figure out my layout and then had a custom cabinet maker build my cabinetry to my specifications. Have a look at katieob's kitchen (linked below). Her layout is similar to yours. You can see where she put her m/w drawer, fridge, etc. The location that I mentioned for your trash was what I was advised to do on this forum. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Katieob's finished kitchen
Laura! That is a great link, Thanks!!! It makes me think I should really swap my fridge and ovens... |
Several people here have mentioned that if your KD doesn't lay it on the line and let you know why you can't have what you discussed within your budget (or what it would cost to have what you discussed) -- in addition to your budget -- it's not so great. I agree. Mine took my total budget and came up with a sadly uninspirational plan that looked just like my old kitchen -- no creativity, no originality. It was thermofoil shaker style cabinets, 23 total. It included nothing but the cabinets, quartz countertop, and their installation. Any "style" or details in this kitchen now, are the result of my request. All I "requested" were two glass cupboards and some extra shelves but the company charged me 30K. No new appliances, no new flooring or structural changes. It was astounding and I should not have signed until I considered it carefully. Problem is, they charged a $1000 for the plan to be made. They charged another $5000 to "release" the plan so that you could use it with your own cabinets and contractor, so I was kind of stuck. What is the markup? What is the actual cost of each feature in a kitchen like this when you use a middleman? Who knows? Again, I was stuck. Their contractor turned down my job because it was "too small", so I had to hire my own contractor to demo the old kitchen, my own electrician, and plumber. These KDs were angry when I got my own contractor to move a switchplate because of their measurement error. They refused to cover the cost of moving the switch and when I wouldn't give in, they threatened me with small claims court - (but later gave up. )They made other measurement errors involving items that now do not fit in my "custom kitchen". So, at this point, warranty or not, I do not want these so-called "award-winning" morons in my home to fix anything in the future! (I am still awaiting replacement brackets for the wrong size they ordered originally-- over a month later!) I wish I'd read all these entries first but maybe someone else can learn from my experience. I believe I was overcharged and under-serviced... a sad commentary on my own ignorance and perhaps a sad commentary on the regulation of kitchen designers here in Canada! |
Thanks Jouney! I appreciatte the insight, and I really wish there were more independent kitchen designers... And by more, I mean any at all! That said, budget isn't the problem here... My budget includes all our needs as we speced it out well in advance. The problem is I need to take control of the design myself as the company doesn't have a KD. Not are they very detailed oriented as they ignored what was speced out in my contract! |

Recent Arroyo Grande High graduate Kyle Raubinger has decided not to start his professional career quite yet. Kyle says he will attend Loyola Marymount in the fall to start his college baseball career.
The Baltimore Orioles drafted the PAC-7 League MVP in the 28th round in the June draft. Teams have until Monday, August 15 to sign draft picks or lose their rights to the players.
Kyle says the Orioles were unable to offer a signing bonus comparable to the value of his scholarship at LMU. Kyle will be eligible for the draft again after his junior year at LMU.
Raubinger hit .419 with 7 home runs for the Eagles this spring helping Arroyo Grande win the PAC-7 League title. He also went 9-1 on the mound, posting a 1.25 ERA in 61 2/3 innings pitched.

The financial desperation among America's local governments is so consuming that cities in Los Angeles County were recently caught trying to sell their promised federal stimulus checks at a discount for cash. This was either the municipal equivalent of seeking payday loans or a clever attempt to avoid the strings attached to federal money. Either way, it evidenced the lengths to which cities will go to avoid confronting a stark fiscal reality: without structural reforms, municipal insolvency will only be delayed.
Local governments everywhere are on the brink of financial ruin. Based on the March 6, 2009 market value of its investments, the Arizona Public Safety Personnel Retirement Fund is approximately 42 percent funded. To maintain existing benefits for law enforcement and fire department personnel, local governments will need to vastly increase contributions to the Fund, massively raise tax revenues, engage in mass layoffs or file bankruptcy.
And tax revenues continue to plummet. Tempe's sales tax revenues dropped 9.2 percent during the four months leading into November 2008. The bursting of the real estate bubble has dissipated property tax revenues. Fees are disappearing too. Chandler--formerly one of the fastest growing cities in the country--reportedly issued one building permit last month.
The Goldwater Institute recently published A New Charter for American Cities, which makes the case for adopting a "Local Liberty Charter" to focus local government on efficiently furnishing the no frills law-and-order needed to secure liberty. Stripping local governments down to core functions is no longer a debating point. It's an imperative.
Nick Dranias holds the Goldwater Institute Clarence J. and Katherine P. Duncan chair for constitutional government and is the director of the Institute's Dorothy D. and Joseph A. Moller Center for Constitutional Government.

Objects are not building materials of the content in the Net because the two components of a network are nodes and links. I suppose subconsciously I have thought of the node as an object. In recent weeks I have learned things that make me realize that the node is not a container but a connector. I suppose we could call it a connecting object, but it is certainly not essentially a content object. Like the origin of the meaning of the word "node," it is a knot. What we engage as meaning in the Net is not one or more objects; what we engage as meaning is a pattern that emerges as a pattern of connections among nodes.
Perhaps we do routinely create Net content (webpages, etc.) as content objects. At the least, we should always make such objects into connectors as well as containers. That would mean tagging them and SEOing them. Much more on this soon . . .
