There has been some discussion about inflation. In one case a purchase at Publix was cited. Here is another recent example from a Publix store.
A 75 oz container of Woolite laundry detergent was downsized to 50 Oz. Good news was the price was also reduced from 10.79 to 8.79. Bad news was that after you did the math it was actually a 22% price increase. At the new per ounce price the old 75 oz container would have jumped from 10.79 to 13.19. The price increase was so high the manufacturer attempts to disguise it by offering a different sized container.
If you listened to all these "sky is falling" economic Chicken Littles around here, you'd think food inflation was skyrocketing.
To the contrary, food inflation is at a near-record low.
- 2008 - 5.5%
- 2009 - 1.8%
- 2010 (est) - 0.5% minimum to 1.5% maximum (october 2010 estimate)
These estimates, of course, do not fit well with the fringe right narrative of "Doom 'n Gloom and its all Obama's fault" so we see heavily massaged talking points coupled with misleading cherry-picked statistics to back up their specious claims of high food inflation.
"Faith-based Economic Forecasts", if you will.
Please note that these are NOT 'differences of opinion" or "differing interpretation of statistics", this is the hard right lying out their keisters in order to promote a particular talking point.
Today, the Chicago Tribune reported its annual cost of a Thanksgiving dinner for four: Up 50 cents over last year,$43.47 vs $42.99. A rise of 1.1%
that you are quoting government statistics, which of course no one can trust, I will remind you of the quantity theory of money that states: that whenever the quantity of money is increased while the demand for money to be held in cash reserve on hand is unchanged, the purchasing power of money will fall.
A. The FED will be increasing the money supply by printing money from now until the end of this year, and likely into next year. While they have given a figure of $700 billion, this number is subject to change upward.
B. The saving rate in the United States continues to go up, not down.
C. Interest rates are at an all time low, and banks are finding it hard to find customers.
D. Unemployment is at 13% including those that have given up looking.
E. Nearly everyone in the United States is struggling to get out from under the easy credit real estate bubble caused by government intervention in the market.
Now, try and grasp this if you can, the government is printing money for the second time in Mr. Obama's tenure, it looks like the printing presses will continue to work with about 3 trillion in fiat currency pumped into the economy. Savings in dollars will continue to be depreciated, assets will continue to climb in inflation adjusted dollars (but not value), the FED is trying to trick the population with a "wealth" illusion and you will hold on to your notion that we should all be happy with these events.
True to your socialist core, you would have us believe that the President, Congress, and the Treasury has everything under control. The state can't control squat pal. Unfortunately, we will all pay for their incompetence and your ideal of the perfect society.
You are at best naive and at worst dishonest.
get a basic economics book and study it before you post this kind of stuff, people merely need to look at their bills to see if inflation is impacting their pocketbook. Or is fact and truth optional in your world?
It's always fascinating to hear what you and Observer Bin Laden claim that "everyone knows".
I'm not surprised that you reject the accuracy of government statistics, given your propensity to blame anything and everything on the Federal government. You and observer have built a comfortable little cocoon of personal opinions, lies and distortions, unimpeded by such trivialities as "facts" and "reality", telling us what "everyone knows" to be "true".
I've offered documented proof that food inflation has been at near historic lows for the past year. I invite you to prove my data wrong...sadly, your personal opinion, like that of your lying spineless brethren Observer, doesn't pass muster with regards to being verifiable.
The world is a complex place, which has to be scary for someone of your limited intellect. I'm not surprised that you've resorted to the standard glibertarian "sky is falling" rhetoric.
Perhaps you'd be better off hiding under your bed until the end of President Obama's second term. You'll be safe there. If you're lucky, Mom will put the television on the floor so you won't miss Glenn Beck.
First Hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and remember what it really means.
Second you have to suspend all intelligence to ignore the evidence from across the Country as well as the commodity indexes.
I gave you absolute proof of same but you choose to ignore it. So to excoriate others for doing what you yourself do, well is a little hypocritical don't you think?
I invite you to prove my data wrong...sadly, your personal opinion, like that of your lying spineless brethren Observer, doesn't pass muster with regards to being verifiable.
Well Ok.
Here are your facts:
"In 2010, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all food is projected to increase 0.5 to 1.5 percent--the lowest annual food inflation rate since 1992. Food-at-home (grocery store) prices are also forecast to increase 0.5 to 1.5 percent, while food- away-from-home (restaurant) prices are forecast to increase 1 to 2 percent."
But here is what you conveniently leave out:
"Although inflation has been relatively weak for most of 2009 and 2010, higher food commodity and energy prices are now exerting pressure on wholesale and retail food prices. Hence, food inflation is predicted to accelerate during the final months of 2010 and the first half of 2011, leading to a forecast of 2 to 3 percent food price inflation in 2011."
"The CPI for all food increased 0.2 percent from September to October 2010, increased 0.3 percent from August to September 2010, and is now 1.4 percent above the October 2009 level. "
Cherry picking information to fit your facts is dishonest bacon. Some (you) would call it LYING.
As I said, your philosophy is based on principles that are dishonest and shallow. You can attack me personally but it won't change the fact that you believe that government stealing through force is ok and I believe otherwise.
You can throw around statistics, links, "proofs" all you want. It is your ideas and those of your kind that are corrupted and you can't change this fact, that's the reason you resort to personal attack.
And I don't like or watch Glenn Beck, in fact I rarely watch TV at all.
What I do is think, which sadly I can see you are incapable of doing. Just a hint for you, you don't need government statistics, links, or anything else to defend your philosophy if your philosophy is based on universal truths and logic.
I am waiting for a cogent defense of your socialist philosophy. You can start by stating its principles and defending each.
From your reading and experience regarding inflation, what have you learned? And what will you do to protect yourself from the mistakes that we made previously and the mistakes we seem to be making now?
for your reasoned question and I will try to answer the best I can, based on my experience with past inflation and my belief on what will happen in the future.
First, when inflation comes, and it will come as sure as day follows night, it will be with us a long, long time. It is possible that our currency will collapse, but that is worse case.
Second, if you are retired you will be hurt the most. It is essentially a tax on the poor and retired. I won't get political here, but I have strong feelings about those that have set this up for us. Let's just say that the FED is robbing your savings every day.
Third, there are specific inflation adjusted investment instruments you should consider. The best in my opinion are TIPS, these are inflation adjusted Treasury Bonds. The market knows that inflation is coming. The last auction for these bonds came at a discount. That is they sold at negative interest, they sold out. Negative interest (discount) has never happened in the history of the TIPS program.
Fourth, gold and other commodities are marginal investments but should be part of your portfolio. I wouldn't invest more than 10 to 15% in gold, silver, etc.
Finally, if you are retired, I would have some amount of gold coins in my home in a safe. Also, you should train yourself and your family members on how to use a weapon. A good tactical shotgun is a good choice along with a handgun that you can handle. Stock up on food for dry goods for about 2 to 3 months.
Hope this helps and good luck. Let me know if you have questions and I will try and answer.
Well said.
DM would do well to follow this advise.
I suggest foodinsurance.com as a quick way to get food that is compact and stable with a 20 year life. It has the added benefit of actually tasting great. A thousand times better than c-rats and mre's.
All you have to know is: "Where do the closest Mormons live?"
They all have a year's worth of food!
Then there are some kind of nuts in the GA mountains with great stores of food.
Just raid them!
I don't recommend any of this!
Inflation actually helps retired folks with money! CDs go up to 10% paying interest.
Buying gold has been a bunch of baloney for a long time. Just like the stock market it is controlled by the mass buyers with computers and can destroy the market in a day or two. It is also extremely variable and is right now very high to purchase---even if it increases more it will fall.
What are you going to do with gold coins? You can't spend them. Especially the stupid Franklin kind!
A shotgun isn't much defense against a hungry crowd with dynamite and hand grenades and 50 cal.
Food for 2-3 months-----then what?
Hording has never been profitable and is selfish.
And that is to rid our governent of this wealth-envy agenda-driven crowd. Indeed they will let inflation loose if for no other reason than to diminish the value of retirement accounts and get fewer people to operate with tax-free dollars. All they need is to get over 50% dependent upon the government for their livelihood and they are happy. If anyone thinks that is not their goal, you are a fool. And when the liberal elites get permanent control, what do you think will happen to their loyal supporters? Dacha on the ocean for everyone? Maybe just really nice housing projects or 3 families sharing the McMansions? Gulags for those who refuse to work for slave wages and toe the party line?
Go ahead. Guess.
Or if you don't like guessing, go to the library - history section.
Let them eat cake!
Leave it be and don't rock the boat, you stupid monkey
Her point is so selfish and critical of change that I just tried to agree with her!
The old "dribble down" theory is much worse than float up! Unless you want to be a dribbler and cake producer!
Downsized from 16 to 14 Oz. same price (3.29)Do the math
The problem with government numbers is they start out honest but then invariably turn into yellow rain.
Food manufacturers have long been reducing package quantities and keeping the price the same as a way of hiding price increases.
Tuna is a great example.
Can sizes have gone from 7 ounces to 6 1/2 ounces and then 6 ounces to 5 ounces.
The 5 ounce can standard came out in 2008.
Some orange juice cartons now contain 59 ounces (instead of 64)
Ice cream has a reduced container size.
This is not really new. It is just now being noticed more. Manufacturers have gone about as low as they can go in reducing product size for the same cost. Most have decided to pass on the cost no matter what.
The FACT is Food prices are increasing and will likely to increase sharply in Q1 2011.
Why? Well look to Government regulations and now the new S-510 the so called Food safety bill.
Farmers are going to have to meet a whole new crop of Government regulations. With that comes cost. Guess who is going to pay?
Personally, I don't want to see a bunch of people get sick again off peanut butter because the owner or manager or CEO allowed leaks in the roof and mold to generate to save a little money!
That is purely criminal. Without regulations (strict) they will scout around safety.
A little e-coli here and there I guess is OK from lettuce picked from a field just below a pig sty, along with a dozen other cases about meat that was contaminated. We could have fed Haiti for a year on the meat recalled---recalled to what, do we know?
That recall must raise the price of the next batch, at least their insurance!
Coffee started the small package generation when they went from a pound to 12 ounces--no price change except later, up. Corn Flakes was about .89 not long ago, now up to 3-4.00 dollars. Guess that is due to "regulations!"
(I checked 1955 also, .19)
As to "farmers" hurting!
All of the farmers are gone! 90% owned by large conglomerates, that don't know squat about farming nor castration!
Our troubles with contamination started when we quit growing our food locally for local distribution, and turned it over to a pig pen the size of R.I. in Iowa, etc. Chickens are grown with 10% more space than their bodies require to stand still! With 20 foot mounds of chicken manure just outside the compound!
You people and no regulations----do you really think the state or locals will regulate?
an already bloated over burdensome government or the people that actually consume the product.
You forget that Laws and Regulations already exist. Did they stop the issues you mentioned?
You make little sense!
Results would be horrible very quickly with no federal regulations. Forget Georgia, they wouldn't care.
Mind telling me how I, a consumer as you say, could regulate health?
Just another impossible want to get votes!
Buy one, get one free. Oh my goodness, 50% deflation!!!
Not 50% deflation if the cost of one bottle before the sale was jacked up!
Happens often.
Ads anymore in the fine print say in so many words that they never sold the product at the so-called retail price!
Percent off ads mean nothing if you don't know what the product costs from reading the ad! Like, was selling at $50, now on sale at 50% off, for $25. Legally it would have had to sell at $50 at some point.
We are brain-washed to buy % off stuff! So they manufacture a price twice what it never has been. Kinda like the Bank bundled worthless mortgages!
And we criticize the middle-east traders!
The inflation index doesn't count food---meatballs and all!
Rounded off. Bison meat at Publix from 10.00 to 12.00
Pay attention folks. In no time at all you're going to be purchasing a gallon of milk for 50.00.
I've read many an article lately that predicts 2-4% inflation by the end of 2010 and overall inflation to be around 3-4% for 2011. However, I have personally documented a sampling of prices from 11-3-10 to 12-3-10. Some items had no price increase whatsoever, but most had an average 10% increase. When a dozen store brand Grade A large eggs went from 1.27 in November to 1.45 in December .... that folks, is more than a 14% increase .... IN ONE MONTH.
Dawn, I invite you to take the 2011 Citizen Blogger Inflation Prediction challenge and go on record as to what you think inflation will be for next year.
Many of the 'regulars" here have made their predictions, and so far we have a very wide range of estimates, ranging from 1% to 13%.
this is going to be a quick ride.....up. Commodities are rising rapidly. Food and Energy prices up. Paid 2.94 a gallon for gas today. Clean out your wheelbarrows folks, you will need them to hold the cash when you go to the grocery store. -GP
Reminds me of the time at the beach a few years ago: Floating out in the water, I suddenly noticed that everyone was on the beach, including my family, pointing my direction in the water. I felt the sudden panic come over me and cautiously looked around to see what everyone was pointing at. That's when I saw the HUGE dark shadow just feet behind me .... it was a manatee. Thank God. But the analogy is .... when you notice the wealthy run for gold and silver (silver is actually your best buy, from what I'm reading) then it's time to look around for whatever it is that they are running from. :)
Food and Energy are already rising and will go much, much higher.
The nay sayers believe all is well and nothing to worry about.
I suggest start canning. NOW
Don't and wait it out and hope it will be ok OR do a little to protect you and yours.
The downside. You have extra food and get to laugh about all those fears that turned out to be just rumors.
The upside. While others are out trying to find bread and milk you get to have dinner by the fire.
I agree. Whether you believe that hyperinflation is in the future or not, it is always a good idea to have an adequate food supply in the case of any incident in which you may need to "shelter in place".
Further, we are in a global grain crisis as it is with countries like Russia, Canada, and Pakistan all experiencing grain shortages due to either poor crops or flooding. These countries provide 30% of the worlds grain.
In addition, scientist have determined that the depopulating of the honey bee may be attributed to a virus ... they are not yet sure how to remedy the problem. I know, seems like a trivial matter in the great scheme of things, but the point is that, aside from inflation, there's a myriad of problems that could threaten food supply.
Personally, I don't see the "intrinsic" value of gold and silver. Metals are valuable because historically people have always liked shiny things. I see food as the only thing with real intrinsic value.
will insure some type of inflation.
Unfortunately they are creating a Bond bubble.
A Hedge fund bubble.
A China Credit bubble.
God only knows what else our spending spree, record deficits and Monetizing our debt is doing to our and others economies.
Tragedy and Hope by Carroll Quigley laid out the Theory of MAED. Mutually Assured Economic Destruction.
This in a nutshell told how they (Government) tied the World's economies together in the "Hope" that the "Tragedy" of World War would never occur again. Because they did this our Government are unable to make corrective steps to ease a recession or other similar economic issues. Our spending, lowering yeild rates on bonds and credit borrowing affects China which in turns affects Europe which in turns affects developing Countries and circle continues.
Ireland, Spain, Greece, Portugual all are going under. It is the domino effect and we are in line as well.
Say Goodbye to America's Bond Bubble
Mark Hart, an American hedge fund manager who has made millions predicting the crises in US sub-prime market and European debt, has launched a fund to bet on the imminent implosion of China.
True, so true. I was speaking with a vistor today from South Asia, he said that the money printing in the US is flowing into developing countries and inflation is going crazy there. The ability of the FED to export our excesses, will eventually show up in price inflation on goods imported back here. It's coming and I give it months, not years.
Don't know where you buy gas, but I tanked up today at my local Flash Foods for $2.77!
I noticed that today as well. I passed the station at the corner of Hwy 54 & McDonough Road, where the sign said $2.98, and drove over to Flash Foods where the gas was $2.77.
When Your hot your hot, and when your out, you're out! I was in one of our work trucks left on empty by an employee. Gas is still 15% more than last year. Of course government leaves out food and energy, like they don't matter. -GP
If all costs were considered in the calculations, some years would give unions and government worlers and pensions a 20% increase and a -2% the next.
So they don't use anything that varies much--it is a worthless number.
I'll bet the cost of NASA rockets isn't in there!
They just come up with a number that is PC!
Hey, the American public "can't stand the truth!"
I have tried to understand what you said, but can't.
I don't know what a "your hot, and a your out," is.
Did the truck run out of gas? Maybe the employee didn't have a CC?
I agree with you on the inflation calculating---they are crooked with that.
so I went to the closest station. Usually we use Flash Foods, Kroger or BJ's. When "you're hot you're hot" was a reference to an old Jerry Reed song, sometimes we do what we hafta do, not what we wanna do http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/reed-jerry/when-youre-hot-youre-hot-1... -GP
I'm talking about a "your hot." I don't have a "hot", I don't think!
Do you have a "hot?" Did you mean you are? Or you're?
I still don't get the gas problem except maybe you are ticked at the employee!
is a failure to communicate. The reason you don't understand is I am speaking in Tea Party Code. Bet I can eat 50 eggs. -GP

The Pop-Up | Perfect Patio Indoor or Small Garden Pond
The Pop-Up pond ... makes winter storage easy too. No space for a pond you said? .... You can't get a quicker, simpler, attractive small garden or patio pond than this one. Very clever ....
Place the Pop-Up Pond on your deck or patio to create a beautiful outdoor pond or water garden. Heavy-gauge polypropylene pool is ready to unfold and fill. Includes a submersible pump for aeration. Now you can have the seasonal pond you've always wanted, without the off-season maintenance
Some topics to consider before buying your pop-up pond (reference Jeff Cook article about half barrel ponds available in full here): Note that wherever Jeff refers to half barrel pondsyou can just as well refer to pop-up ponds
Container .. Water... Plants ... Snails... Fish... Mechanicals... Maintenance
Contrary to common sense, a half barrel is not required to construct a half barrel pond! Some people prefer to use a rigid plastic barrel line, which can be used with or without the half barrel. These liners should be available for around $30. Other substitutes, such as clay or concrete containers, are not specifically covered here, but most of this discussion should apply.
I chose a whiskey half barrel for my miniature pond, because of its rustic good looks. I purchased one at a home improvement store for $16.
*****Click to see the largest range of well priced on-line pond products ,,, this Florida USA based pond supplies company is leading supplier
Water is a crucial ingredient! And chlorine-free water is mandatory if you want fish. If you are using a wooden half barrel and are not using a liner, fill the barrel as full as possible and keep refilling until the slats expand to seal the container. If using a liner, then just fill up with water. If the water is chlorinated, let it sit in the barrel for a couple of days and the chlorine will evaporate.
The initial stocking of the pop-up pond is of primary importance, in order to get the proper bacteria going so that a stable ecosystem can develop. It has been suggested that the simple use of plants from existing ponds, even those bought from the nursery, coupled with chlorine-free water, is sufficient to start up a small pond. But in my experience, this alone can result in an infection characterized by white oily-like surface sheen, white tendrils in the water, and an obnoxious sulfur-like smell. I have been told that this is due to a paramecium infestation. I have seen a barrel with such an infection completely recover naturally, and I have eliminated such an infection in other barrels by starting over by emptying, refilling, and then adding beneficial bacteria (Microbe-Lift bacteria to keep ponds healthy). In my opinion, a good way to ensure proper start-up is to supply part or all of your water from an existing barrel or pond. Alternatively, one may purchase beneficial bacteria from an aquarium supply shop and use it for start-up. I have tried both methods with success. Also, I like to drop a large piece of lava rock into the bottom of the barrel, to ensure that the bacteria have a large surface area on which to grow. *****
Here is a perfect example of a use for Alfagrog ... comment by Pond Professor. See last edition of Gazette for stockists
I use filtered water (no lead, chlorine, etc.) when topping up to account for evaporation; chlorinated water may be used if preceded with a chlorine neutralizer. It has recently come to my attention that topping up with filtered water may eventually have an adverse effect on water quality, due to increased concentrations of the substances that are not removed by the filter, such as salts. If this is a concern, which I must admit has never been a concern of mine, then occasional water changes are recommended. For example, one could periodically siphon (or use a pail) and remove 25% of the water volume, and then replace it with unchlorinated water.
Plants make the pop-up pond pleasing to view, especially flowering plants. The following four types of plants are desirable for a balanced ecosystem:
pygmy water lilies, hardy or tropical, oxygenating plants (anacharis, milfoil), floating plants (water hyacinth, water lettuce, duckweed), and
bog, or marginal, tall accent plants (rushes, canna, horsetail, lobelia, reeds, cattails).
To my first half barrel pond I added one anacharis (oxygenator), one zebra rush (bog), one Blue Capensis (day-blooming water lily), and a few water hyacinth and water lettuce (floating). Duckweed came attached to the other plants. Note: duckweed can quickly multiply to cover the entire surface of a small pond unless controlled by consumption (in my experience goldfish like to eat it) or by occasional removal by, for instance, a net.
The soil-rooted plants should be planted in individual containers and fertilized appropriately (water lilies, especially, require frequent fertilization). Bog plants should be placed so that their root tops are within one inch of the surface of the pop-up pond, above or below. To help prevent algae growth, plants should cover 75-80% of the surface of your pop-up pond.
Snails are the cleanup crew in a pop-up pond. Frequently, snails will accompany the plants you buy for your pop-up pond. My current advice for snails is to suggest that you consult with aquaria store personnel if you wish to purchase snails to populate your pop-up pond. Certain snails, such as apple snails, will consume your plants, and are not necessarily recommended for planted barrel ponds.
While plants make a pop-up pond pleasing to view, fish add an element of fun. Even if no fish are desired, one type of fish is almost mandatory, and that is the mosquito fish (gambusia). (Mosquito fish can usually be obtained free from your local mosquito abatement program.) A few small mosquito fish will prevent your pond from becoming an insect breeding ground, and will not require feeding or mechanicals. One or two small goldfish can also serve this purpose. Do not put fish in your pop-up pond until the water has "aged" for 2-4 weeks, that is, until the beneficial bacteria have had time to get established, or, alternatively, you can hurry the process by adding liquid or dried bacteria purchased from a pet store.
It is rumored that a pond will support one inch of fish for every 5 gallons of water without requiring oxygenation or filtration. If you see your fish "gasping" at the top of the water (low oxygenation), or you intend to put a lot of fish in a small space, then your pond will require mechanical filtration and aeration. But regardless, it is inappropriate to put large fish in a small space like a half barrel pond. And even goldfish can eventually outgrow a half barrel pond.
Notice: Please do not put koi in a pop-up pond. They will soon outgrow their container and they tend to devour plants.
Notice: I have been informed by various sources that combining mosquito fish and goldfish can be fatal to the goldfish. The reasoning behind this is that the fast, energetic mosquito fish will deprive the goldfish of food and they may even disable the goldfish through aggression. However, my small ponds contain both mosquito fish and goldfish, some for three years now, and the goldfish are thriving and have produced offspring. Perhaps the problem only occurs when the mosquito fish population far outnumbers the goldfish population. I only keep two goldfish and a few mosquito fish in each barrel.
Mechanicals are not necessary in a pop-up pond unless you overstock. If you want to support a lot of water creatures, you will need an aerator and biological filter to keep them alive.
A 5% water change per week is recommended. I accomplish this by topping up with filtered, chlorine-free water once a week (I attach an EverPure water filter to my hose and top up with that). I have been advised that topping up with dechlorinated but unfiltered tap water will eventually cause the water in the barrel to become brackish, but have yet to see such a situation occur.
Note also that one can use liquid dechlorinators if only chlorinated water is available. A couple of my barrels are topped up twice weekly by my watering system, with no apparent ill effects.
Plants need fertilizer. Fish need food when you overstock. Filters require periodic cleaning. To minimize maintenance, I keep the plant load high and the fish load low, and do not filter, so all I have to do is feed the plants periodically.

Did you mean?
Hi all,
In July I will travel to Asunción. At the moment I stil have a ticket to Sao Paulo. The connecton times of TAM or GOL are not very short to my time of landing. So I am thinking about to stay one night in Sao Paulo and take a flight the next day. Another posibility could be to travel by bus, but I could not find any exact information about bus-companies, timetables etc..
Can everyone give me some sugestions, also for small hotels etc.Thanks Roland
Can anyone suggest a good agency that organises tours in Ilha Grande?

In "Moral Tales," a Tapestry of Faith program
The chair set apart is the "hot seat." The person in the hot seat will pretend to be one of the characters from the story. The rest of us can ask the person in the hot seat questions. The person in the hot seat answers as the character.
Be the first one in the hot seat. Tell the children that you are going to leave the room and come back as one of the characters. Leave, come back, and introduce yourself. You may say:
Hello, children. I am the Mullah Nasruddin. Do you have any questions for me?
Tell the children they may raise their hands and ask the character questions about the story. Answer a question or two, then ask if someone else would like to take a turn in the hot seat. Let this child leave the room and come back as the same or a new character. After a short while, suggest that another child take the hot seat. If the children are all eager to be in the hot seat, then limit one or two questions per turn in the hot seat.
As needed, guide the activity by sharing with the group these rules:
The goal of this activity is to help the children develop a deeper understanding of the story, to explore the feelings and the perspectives of the characters in more depth, and to have a personal experience of empathy.
In the story ,"Mullah Nasruddin Feeds His Coat, " characters to role play include Nasruddin, the wealthy host, and the other guests. If the children have difficulty coming up with questions, model asking questions with these:

The various introductions continue in the outer area of the tent and Kip wonders if the furry-eared girl will be as ill at ease with the others as she was with him. After watching, he assumes she was not. Perhaps his faith put her off. In time he would rectify that. Manks had a reputation for pushy clergy, winners, and no a few of them were consummate liars. Kip was none such though and he knew that like it or not, the folks assembled here in this tent would soon be risking their lives together. Hekarin was nowhere to be seen and Kip had hoped to at least catch a glimpse of the burly rogue before he had to go into action yet again. Still, there was a familiar smell in the air. Perhaps the ale-poonder waited within?
Kip, as usual in no rush to meet what fate has appointed him, takes his time outside letting the others pass into the command area. Then he
Kip will stealth in at first using

and Shadow Walk as well as using those in previously as cover. Once he gets inside he will drop stealth as if to appear within the applicants.
quietly slides
in nodding to the elf on the way.
Kip assesses those present. Stormblade he knows, but what of the others within the room? Seeing a woman and a halfling he guesses not. After waiting through the various assertions of talents, Kip speaks up suddenly stepping into clear view,
"Kip Pickens, not-so-humble priest of Manks! ... Rogue! ... Warlock! Son of none! Betrayer of Sergeants! I stand ready to serve!"
Anyone who saw this eerie fellow outside is suddenly taken aback by the warm smile he now has threatening to break out across his face. The fairy at his shoulder looks back and forth between the Captain and her companion hurriedly trying not to miss the nuances. The priest's eyes remain fixed in that reptilian way on the Captain, although the mirth there is apparent. A silence hangs in the air for a second ...

Stormblade looked at Kip for a few moments before crossing off his name. She seemed to want to ask something but she decided against it. "
DuFresne, how many did you say you wanted?
" She asked, not looking at the one she spoke to. "
Six. Same amount of mercs we've got here right now.
" she smiled.
The orc woman stood up at her desk. "
Well someone has to do it. All of you stay where you are.
" she said to the six of you. "
Specialist Vega, answer me, have you experience with leading a team through combat?

"Ma'am, No Ma'am. I have encyclopedic theoretical knowledge of the application of force against a target or targets. During training I participated in a number of scenarios and situations but no practice in the field Ma'am."

That's fine and all but let's see how you do under real stress.
" The woman turned her head to look towards the robed halfling. "
Jacib, fetch our best healers. Just in case.
" The halfling had a look of shock come over him as she said so. "
Y-you don't intend to... Oh dear.
" He rushed out of the tent without saying another word.
I want you lot to follow me. All of you!
" she commanded in an authoritative tone. She left the tent with all of you following, though feelings are mixed between you all. The woman in red followed as well.
You all reach a small dirt field where dozens of soldiers had been training, though when noticing Stormblade's approach they all ceased and stared at the captain. Turning towards you guys, Stormblade flatly said, "
My first order to you mercenaries, and Specialist Vega, is to fight me.
" "
Captain, is that a good idea? I doubt they could best a street thug, let alone you.
" the woman in red chuckled.
The soldiers who were standing around nervously moved way from your group and Stormblade, forming a rough circle around you all. "
Well how about it? Let's see if you lot can actually fight.

Selena observes the captain calmly. On one hand, she has no interest in doing unnecessary battles. On the other, it appeared this woman was not going to let them proceed unless they proved to her that they had some experience. Time was of the essence now; she did not want to waste any of it arguing with the captain about being prepared for the mission. It would be easier to show. Having healers nearby meant that she could attack without fear of causing lasting damage. Even if they were not there, Selena has the feeling that the captain would be able to take anything she could do with relative ease. More likely than not the healers were meant for them rather than her.
Whatever the case might be, Selena brings her javelin to in front of her.
"Very well."

Leonard had wanted to say something, when the commanding officer had called him out on his lack of experience, but what could he say? Everything he thought up, were just excuses. She was right, and nothing could change that fact. He thought about just reassuring of his skills, just say something, anything to show at least that he had confidence in his skills, but apparently, that was the limit of his confidence. He couldn't bring himself to speak up. He just fell silent.
He noticed the others speak up when the Orc chastised him. He secretly wished to be strong like they were, especially that dwarf who seemed actually chastise her instead. The specialist, was like he was, without experience, but he managed to do exactly what he could not.
Elean frowned at being called a child. It hurt her pride, but she knew her place and kept her mouth shut. For the most part anyway. When the orc and halfling had their little exchange, Elean couldn't help but chime in.
"Big pig, not big..."
She said quietly, with her smile returning.
When the group began to move, Leonard quietly followed. He only felt his resolve begin to return to him when he understood what was happening. He turned to his squire, who had a serious look on her face. She nodded and placed the standard into the ground. Then she reached back and took the dynamic broadsword that was slung over her shoulder and held it carefully with both hands. Careful not to let it touch the ground, she knelt down before her knight.
He placed a hand on the noble blade.
"Thank you for keeping my life safe,"
he said to Eleanor. For those who live and die by the sword, your life was only in as good condition as their sword. As his squire, Eleanor did not just carry the noble weapon, she also cared for and made sure it was in proper working condition or otherwise replaced it if it was unfit for war.
Finally, he took up the blade. He drew it from its sheath, holding up the brilliant broad blade and inspecting it. Though he was sure she had kept it in pristine condition, he liked to take time to admire its brilliance. This weapon was fit for war.
He let Eleanor have the sheath back, and she slung it across her shoulder once again. Then, she reached for the massive slab of steel on her back. Without so much a grimace at its weight, she took it from where it was stowed and stood up from the ground. Leo reached out his left arm, and Eleanor moved to place the shield on his arm. He gripped its handle tightly as it came into reach.
The whole ceremony took only a few seconds, but it was an important one. Eleanor smiled up at him, but then something seemed to disturb her. She then took a step closer, standing on the tips of her toes she reached up with both hands. She adjusted Leonard's helm, though it was probably unnecessary. When she was satisfied, she stepped away and smiled once more. She looked up to the steel coated man, who wore a look of determination on his face underneath the metal visor of his helm.
"Now you look perfect..."
she said blushing slightly. Though she often teased him, and even defied from time to time that would otherwise be unheard of from a squire to their knight, when he looked like he did now, she had nothing but the up most respect for him.
Sadly, Leonard was so focused on the seriousness of the upcoming challenge, that the rare compliment hardly registered in his psyche. He simply nodded, and turned towards the group.
"I'll take point,"
he announced plainly as he strode right up to the Orc champion. He stared directly towards here eyes.
Eleanor fell back to watch with the other soldiers in the circle, but left the Standard standing in the ground by the group.

Kip was a bit taken aback by the summary response the Captain gave him. Given their history, the Captain must have some very grave matters at hand to forgo any attempt at levity or even just a chance to break from formality, normally a cherished opportunity in such settings. Kip had been ready to bear her jokes and jibes in good spirits, planning to give as good as he got. But no. She was dead serious. Worried. Even angry.
The priest fell into line with all the others as they walked out of the tent and hurriedly stepped down the short earthen ramp into the sparring grounds. Six vs one? Really? This struck Kip as reckless. But he thought he understood. Whatever it was that was kept in Ridgar Keep was a danger so profound that the good Captain refused to send in anything less than steely-eyed veterans. More and more cause for concern.
Ihlver's Bluff had been a hell of a fight, even without the hammer. The anvil had been tough enough and the army of the Gryphon had only barely edged out its foes. Rhegby sent several teams into the field untried, despite the experienced sergeant's warnings. Untried groups could and in that case did easily fall prey to individualism. Every look on the Captain's face right now told of how this was going to be an all-in proposition. No safe bets. If the players weren't supporting each other with every move, every action, there would be hell to pay.
Kip had seen it before in the same army, and since among warriors of his own faith, as well as mercenaries. No time except this to rehearse as a team. One shot to glue up into a real fighting unit. Fool-hearty individual tactics, often as not, got everyone but the jackass that did them killed or badly wounded. Fate was kind to fools and rude twice over to those that were prudent.
Kip reflected on his assessment, however brief of his companions-to-be. On the surface it seemed grim indeed. The exact opposite of what might be thought desirable. An ivory tower logic-worshipper in Vega, an overly sensitive spear-chucker in Selene, a reluctant softie with an old soul in Leonard, and a pair of competitors for jackass of the year in the eladrin and the dwarf. But that odd mix was just the kind of group that magically exceeded all expectations and rose from the pit of adversity into a cohesive fighting unit. It could happen … Of course, hope springs eternal …
The priest shook his head as the pregnant silence lingered on. He began to stretch obviously, making it apparent he would not proceed with combat until ready, taking the blame as it were. Everyone seemed tentative, the exception, Leonard, was just acting a part, at least so far. Kip hoped the fellow would take point. But could he or would he run if needed in that armor? And could he keep pace with the athlete that was Captain Stormblade? A brief run through his warm-ups and Kip slid down a few steps to one side and slightly behind Leonard. He thought to himself … Back in gear man! Back in the game! How will she do it?
She was going to take out the front as fast and furiously as she could and beeline the casters and ranged types. The hardest thing was going to be connecting, getting a solid hit on such a well trained foe. Kip offered his only advice to the team,
"Anything and everything just to hit. Nothing fancy. Definite damage, and help each other hit, anything anyone has for accuracy, let's see it! Add it up, bit by bit. Melee types maneuver for advantage, yours and everyone else's. Think! Maximum range and do not bunch if your ranged."
And then, befitting a priest, a prayer to the heavens,
"Manks, grant us Victory!"

Carl walks directly behind the captain with military precision. When they get to the practice field he takes the stock of his crossbow in one hand. With the other he undoes the top and only button of his long coat. It opens to reveal two crossed bandoliers, filled with vials and gizmos. Beneath the bandoliers is a tight leather vest.
"Allow me to inspect your weapons. I will impart certain energies to them."
He walks around to each member of the unlikely team, inspecting their weapons without another word. In fact, he seems to assume that he may handle the weapons without asking anything. When he comes to Percival he holds the sword for much longer.
"You have declared that you will take point. I am augmenting your weapon to increase your accuracy. This is a one time enchantement. To use the power you must simply decide to in your mind and the enchantment will react."
He traces a sigil onto the base of the blade. It glows blue as the line leaves his finger.
: Percival's sword gains:
Augment Energy
You infuse a weapon or an implement with a reservoir of energy that lasts until the end of your next extended rest or until it is expended. The wielder of the implement or the weapon can use a free action after making an attack roll to expend the reservoir of energy to gain a
+2 bonus to that attack roll
. An implement or a weapon can be augmented only once per day in this way.
Whenever one of the artificer's allies uses a magic item's daily power, that ally absorbs the energy and gains
8 temporary hit points
Finally is finished with everyone. He adjusts his gear, tightening several buckles and securing the coat tails out of the way. He cocks his crossbow and loads a quarrel. Lightning crackles down his arm and runs rampant over the metal cyclinder slung under the crossbow barrel.
"I believe we are ready captain."
He brings the bow up and holds a steady aim on the Orc.

Leonard never lets go of his sword, but allows Carl to also hold onto it. He looks to his blade after Carl is finished, to see how the faint runes glowing upon it, waiting to be activated.
"Interesting... guess I should make it count..."
He decides to change tactics for just a bit. If he's going to be chosen to have this bonus, he should try to make the best of it. He prepared himself for a moment, then looked up to the sky and let out a strange whistle.
The whistle seemed to come from his throat, and yet from everywhere at once. It was a whistle in 'deep speech'. The odd echoing tone to carry with it a bit of the spiritual energies, of which he was a conduit of. Not a moment later, a few flashes of light and sparks of lightning crackled in an empty space adjacent to him. It was accompanied what sounded like thunder at first, but as it went on it slowly began to sound more like the sound of hooves racing against the ground. Suddenly, a large flash of light gives way to a large steed of cosmic appearance, the one who had pulled his carriage here.
It raced out of the flashes of light with a loud cry that echoed to sound like it was coming from all around, just like Leo's whistle. It came about and moved directly to Leonard, where it slowed to a stop. Leonard mounted the majestic beast, and raised up his sword.
He then raised up his Dynamic Broadsword calling upon it to heed his will. The metal became malleable, and then began to wax and wane. He raised it up to the heavens, and it reached out up towards the sky growing more than twice its original length and its blade becoming thick like a cone. It had shifted its form to that of a proper lance. Before it finished, it shaped various ornate, dynamic details to accent itself. Since it was still technically the same weapon, just having changed its form, Leonard assumed that the enchantment Carl had placed on it would still be effective. He pulled it close to inspect that the runes were indeed still there, but now they were along the might steel shaft of a lance.
The knight, carried by the celestial steed moved to make sure they had enough room to reach charging speed before they began. He adjusted the lance in hand and prepared to do battle.
I'm hoping to get in at least one good charge and use the lance's mounted property to do some decent damage, since you choose to give me the attack bonus, but I'm not sure how effective I can play defender while I'm also aiming for charges.
Also, I just used a magic item's encounter power. Does that let me get that bonus temporary hp, Calebr?
Throwing an initiative roll in there, just to help things along.

Oh look at that captain. It seems these guys are pulling out any tricks they can even before the fight starts.
" DuFresne commented as she flicked away her finished cigarette though she pulled out another one right afterwards and lit it with a match. "
This is a test of what they are capable of, let's just see what they can do.
" Stormblade answered in a serious and low tone as she began to stretch out her body a bit. "
Still, isn't it a little too much to use a horse?
" DuFresne asked, though no concern could be found in her voice.
As the preparations are going on, the halfling, Jacib, returned with several men and women wearing distinctive white robes. "
I've brought our best healers captain.
" He called out, though he and the healers didn't dare go too close. The captain just nodded in answer.

Finally someone has given this scumbag his rightful place in our society, in jail. Its about time. Now let him see how it feels to be treated the same way he treats others, without respect. Once they deport him to Costa Rica they should charge him with his crimes to the fullest extent of the law and put him in jail for a long long time. We do not need the likes of him in our society. Without him around, maybe our NL fisher and sealing folk and those others around the world who he has persecuted for so long by his gutless ways will have some peace in their lives and will, hopefully, be able to go and make a living for their families, without interruption. If any of Watson's jerks carry on with his actions, arrest them as well and put them away too.

During our remodel we have had 3-4 dumpsters for the construction waste...it's been SOOOO cool to be able to throw out stuff that was big ( local trash people are content wackos)... I think a dumpster is a swell gift! maddiemom |
Summer memories - of a 40 yard dumpster and a visit by my son - and we filled that baby!!!!!!!! Amazing thing - a dumpster! Vicki |
Now, there's a man who loves his wife. Good thing it's her, because I would have divorced him ages ago. Except I would have liked to have had that bowling ball for my garden. The HOA we moved from would rent dumpsters every May. I think they would go through 8 or 9 of them in three days. I always thought it was a good idea. When we had our dumpter here for the remodel I was talking to a neighbor about renting a small one in the spring and seeing if other neighbors wanted to split the cost. Its $225 and they dump it four times. Trouble is, now I really don't have anything that I can't find a different outlet for. You just have to love freecycle. Gloria |

We're lucky enough to have curbside pick up for everything. "Good" stuff we put out early and let the people who drive around in trucks pick up what they want. The negative side to this is we have a friend who drives around the night before trash day and keeps bringing us stuff he thinks we would LOVE to salvage. LOL I still haven't found a polite way to say NO. Maybe for my birthday I could ask my husband (again) to get rid of the 2 desks in the garage that he's "saving" for no reason? |
Julie, just tell the guy you appreciate his efforts, but at this time in your life you just aren't going to be able to do anything with the stuff. Ask him not to bring it. A friend should be able to understand. Gloria |

Gloria, I'm sure I could do that over the phone... but it's much harder when he shows up in person (with no warning) and my husband is busy unloading the truck saying how WONDERFUL something is... and we end up in an argument in the driveway over unloading something we absolutely don't need and DH will never use in spite of what he says... Oh... it didn't go welll... LOL |

Many years ago, in our first little starter home, we rented a dumpster for two weeks while we gutted and re-did our bathroom. While most of it was filled with old lathe and plaster and fixtures, etc. we did decide to do some sorting while it was there. I could see that having access to one every now and then would be useful! Brenda |

Katy Craine attended her first FoodnSport event in 2010, and has been involved in almost every event since. A Simply Delicious Culinary Skills graduate, she has been co-chef with Chef Alicia Ojeda at our Washington retreats, head chef at our Costa Rica retreats, co-written several of the Simply Delicious Raw Recipe Series with Dr. Graham, and more. Discover how she did it, what she's doing now, and more about her life in this interview.
80/10/10 isn't about eating less than 10% of total calories from fat and from protein in every meal, or even every day, but rather as an average over the course of a month. Even for the week, Grant's fat intake was still below 10% of total calories despite the quantity of durian consumed on this day.
Grant Campbell (aka Raw Aussie Athlete), ultramarathoner, fruit connoisseur and our very own Director of Education has been an 80/10/10 raw vegan since 2005 and a devoted vegan since 1999.
What then, does a seasoned fruit lover and elite athlete eat in a day? Let's take a look!
"I tried a high-fat raw vegan lifestyle but just felt so sluggish and depressed. I wasn't obtaining enough carbohydrates to meet my energy requirements, so I began to binge on sweet foods. Yes I felt better than when I was on a standard diet but still not great, and it wasn't sustainable. When I switched to high fruit, the heavens opened! I felt like a new person; I knew I had found the answer!"
This interview was originally featured on the raw natural hygiene community forum, moderated by 811 Allstar Grant Campbell. Learn more about Dr. Graham, as a person, and health enthusiast in this personal interview.
"I'm lighter and leaner, which helps me run faster and longer. I have better endurance. I recover from workouts much quicker. Pains I used to have such as plantar fasciitis, and stiffness healed. My weekly mileage is getting higher and higher, and I am totally psyched about setting new PRs this year!"
Grant Campbell, aka Raw Aussie Athlete, is an experienced ultramarathon trail runner who continues to rise to new levels of athletic performance since embracing a 100% 80/10/10 raw vegan (811rv) lifestyle more than four years ago.
Pam is truly an extraordinary woman. She is a national champion canoeist, motivational speaker, and so much more. We are proud to feature her as an 80/10/10 Allstar, and invite you to get to know one of our favorite people.
Harley Johnstone spent his first 24 years battling up-and-down energy levels and a host of maladies including chronic fatigue, asthma, Crohn's disease, hypoglycemia, mild arthritis, sleep disorders, depression, drug addiction, alcohol abuse, anorexia, acne, and more. These challenges led him to explore veganism and eventually raw veganism in 2005.

Erroll Garner: 'The Joy of a Genius'
Perhaps best known as the composer of "Misty," Erroll Garner was also one of the most original, intuitive and exciting pianists to emerge during the modern jazz era. Garner's significance as a major jazz innovator easily rivals his status as a successful composer. His approach to melody, harmony, and especially rhythm were fresh and inventive.
Born on June 15, 1921 in Pittsburgh, Penn., Garner and his twin brother Ernest were the youngest of six children. Raised in a musical family, he was playing the piano by the age of three. A self-taught pianist, Garner never learned to read music. Childhood friend and bassist Wyatt Bull Ruther took piano lessons from Garner's sister and recalls how easily Garner picked up music. Garner's natural ability was recognized by his high school band teacher, who encouraged him not to take lessons for fear it would corrupt his extraordinary talents.
In the 1940s, Garner headed to New York with an undeniable style of his own. Garner's first recording, with its distinctive, romantic version of "Laura," captured public attention. Other events, such as his appearance on The Tonight Show with Steve Allen helped bolster Garner's popularity. But it was his original tune "Misty" that catapulted him into the ranks of stardom. Today, "Misty" remains one of the most recognized and requested jazz standards.
It is easily his most famous composition, a simple tune played around the world in countless styles and arrangements. When it was premiered on wax, in this 1954 trio side with Wyatt Ruther (bass) and Eugene Heard (drums), Erroll Garner played it as an impressionistic ballad. Striking the piano almost like a harp, his delicate high notes and open octaves beautifully render the tuneful Misty.
In 1950, with the help of manager Martha Glaser, Garner broke new ground with his performance at the prestigious Cleveland Music Hall, traditionally a classical concert venue. Later, he became the first and only jazz artist to perform under the auspices of classical impresario Sol Hurok. His first live recording, Concert By The Sea, captured nearly every aspect of Garner's artistry and helped him become the biggest-selling Columbia Records jazz artist of his day.
During the 1960s and 70s, Garner continued to travel and record, adding Latin rhythms to his repertoire. He remained popular and sold out venues around the world. In 1975, declining health forced him off the road. He was later diagnosed with lung cancer and died on January 2, 1977 at the age of 55.
A humble pianist, Garner will long be remembered for remaining true to his art and for his spirit and joy that he gave to his audiences all over the world.

The fabricator was just out to take a look at my kitchen, and I have a problem. The floors and counters in my 100 year-old house are out of alignment. This is just a minor upgrade--range and countertops----and we had been planning to retain our white, subway tile backsplash. Now we have been told that since the counters will need shaving on one end and shimming on the other (quite a bit of both apparently) if we want to keep the backsplash we will need to remove the lower row of tiles. The fabricator will then create a 3" to 4" smaller backsplash of the soapstone that will be tapered in to abut the tiles (I'm guessing the concept is somewhat similar to the typical formica you see that goes up the wall a bit.) He says that this difference in height of the soapstone part won't be readily apparent. So, we'd have 3 cm deep soapstone countertops, a small soapstone backsplash cut from that same 3cm soapstone and then the white subway tile. I suppose we could rip out all of the backsplash and start over again. But, since the white subway tile is appropriate to the period look of our kitchen which has a mix of original-type cabinets and custom made replicas, I'd most likely end up just putting in white subway tile again. So this seems kind of silly (and expensive and a hassle). Thoughts anyone? Is this going to look goofy with that extra line of soapstone? Thanks. |

A friend of mine just have to do this with granite. She didn't have to remove any backplash as there was a 4" laminate bs in place. The fabricator cut the granite bs on site and it tapers to fit properly. No one notices anything. |

My only concern would be whether they can remove just a row of the backsplash without damaging the rest. I've read lots of stories on here where people try to remove one tile and end up ripping the whole thing out. |
debrak--So,your friend has granite counters, a short granite backsplash and then tile on the walls? mama--Thanks for the photo. It looks as though the only place you had to do this was behind the sink. Am I right? t looks fine to me, but I would need to do it pretty much everywhere vs. just behind the sink as you have. And, one more quick question for you. Is that marble I see on your other countertop? If so, how do you like it? And, how do you like it with the soapstone? sailorgirl--Good thought, and that is something I hadn't thought about. This "little" project is turning into a much bigger headache than I 'd ever anticipated! |

Sorry I don't have a photo of it but will try to explain further. There was laminate counters with the 4" laminate backplash. Above that was a ceramic tile backsplash. I would be more concerned with cutting the tile out. Would you do that yourself or have someone else do it? I think its doable with good planning and patience. |
We had our soapstone counters at our lakehouse done with a 3" soapstone tile backsplash. The fabricator installed a small shelf behind the range, as well. The kitchen is central in an open floor plan. To keep the look clean and unfussy we decided to just have painted walls under the cabinets. I'm happy with the look and it's served us well for 5 yrs. But I also think it would look good with simple tiles above the backsplash. You can see it from different vantages - the clearest is in the shot of the sink - in "amck's " kitchen in the Finished Kitchens Blog. |

Needinfo, I found a couple of pics from houzz, with black granite counter, and a short backsplash--soapstone would be similar: In my kitchen, the short backsplash is in only the sink area--I didn't have enough of the resin slabs to go around the whole kitchen, even if I'd wanted to. The counters around the sink and stove are epoxy resin, cut from old lab table tops. No soapstone--the other counter is made from New St.Laurent marble tiles, as is the sink backsplash. I love the marble. |
Thanks to all of you for all of the ideas and the help! I am starting to wonder exactly how difficult it would be to just get the lower row of tiles out without damaging those above it. I did find this interesting blog with photos of someone who'd installed the short backsplash. Her fabricator recommended the short soapstone backsplash saying that if there is a seam area where the soapstone counter would meet the white wall tile at countertop level it would be a seam that would appear to be dirtier and gunkier than a seam at that level between soapstone and soapstone. I have to say that is true of my current set up where the tile counter top meets the white backsplash tile. So, maybe that is another good reason to do this that I hadn't thought of. http://firstian-kitchen.blogspot.com/2012/04/countertop.html#!/2012/04/countertop.html |

That first Houzz picture btw, got tens of thousands of likes by kitchen lovers. People are generous in grasping the whole effect in a kitchen. One suggestion of late is to do a lower backsplash, say 2". This avoids the more common look of the 4" bs. I believe a GW kitchen member has done this of late. Love soapstone. Good luck. |

I'm almost finished with a kitchen remodel due to a water leak. I got new cabinets and appliances, the granite was reused. I didn't care whether or not I kept the same backsplash but the insurance said it wasn't necessary to have it replaced. So when they installed my new cabinets, to make them level, they were running higher (above the bottom of the lowest tile) so they took off the lowest row of tile. They explained that once the granite was reinstalled, it wouldn't look right to put something back in that area because you'd see how it runs uphill (or downhill) so we tore off the entire backsplash. I just had the cheap white 3"x6" subway tile from lowes, and I like it so that's what I'm having done again. But I'm soooooo glad that we tore it all out and re-tiling the backsplash. It will look so much better. It's getting done tomorrow. I personally would rather have the backsplash redone than to go with the 3" piece. JMHO BTW the insurance paid for a new backsplash since the granite couldn't be installed exactly where it was before and I got $1100.00 for a $300 backsplash :) |
sparkling water--I would have no choice about the height because it would need to be what fits in between the counter and the tile. mountaineergirl--Very interesting insight from you for a pretty much similar situation where you have actually been able to see what is going on as the process proceeds. I installed this backsplash myself and could do another one pretty easily if I had to. $300 is my kind of price too! The more I think about it, I am suspecting that we should just go ahead now and try to see how difficult it will be to remove that bottom row of tiles without damaging the next one up. That might just force us into a decison right away. Thanks again. |

I found another pic on houzz--the info lists the perimeter as Vermont soapstone: |
I think the short backsplash is sort of classic and timeless...but at my age, that's also how I think of myself |

change my sons last name back to my madian name
My son is 17 months old and he has had the last name of lant.When my son's father and I went to court on 11/20/08 ,he changed his name to laforrest.his dad might have seen he 4-5 times his whole life.when the judge orderd him to pay child support,he decided to change his name to his.but at first in the begining,he said qoute unqoute (I don't want the KID!)so far on this day,12/14/08 I have not spoken with him. I have also found out this morning he has moved to michigan. I myself think that if he is going to stay out of his life that my son should have my name. he is not going to know his bilogical father,however my husband has been taking care of him, and is being called dad. so please see it in the bottom of you'r heart to agree with me and my family to have his name back to his known name LANT. thank you dearly kimberly, Aaron Kaleb's mother
