As of this writing our Go Media User Showcase has 124 entries and 84 members. Doing well so far! I see quite a few that I like, but I'll just post two this week that stand out to me.
This first example is how you can use skulls, wings, and hooladanders, but still keep your design clean and informative. I think this is nicely done. The text is also a nice touch with it's splash of color. My only complaint is the fists at the bottom – it seems like the thumbs are out of place. But overall not bad.
The design below is a nice example of mixing and collaging various elements together. Seems a lot of people are doing it these days, but this one is done well. It seems as if things fit together are there is an overall composition to the piece. It's not just thrown about randomly. Although I think the actual text that's on the banner could look a little better (seems a little clunky) the overall design is put together well.
So everyone keep posting your designs. I'll keep showcasing!

(PRETORIA, South Africa) -- South African President Jacob Zuma was hospitalized on Saturday for tests. Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said that "following a gruelling election campaign," members of the African National Congress believed Zuma "needed to rest." Spokesperson Mac Maharaj said on Saturday that doctors were "satisfied" with Zuma's condition.
Zuma, 72, is expected to be well enough to hold a Cabinet strategy meeting next week. He was elected to a second term as president last month.

Best Uses
Be sure you have a film splicer and some steady hands before you consider digitizing your old Super 8 film collection! A single 50' reel (~3 minutes of footage) takes about 2.5 hours to scan through the machine. The scan quality is great...and you can adjust the brightness/contrast to your liking or let the software automatically adjust for you. You definitely will want to acquire a couple 400' reels and a splicer (along with splicing tape) so you can splice up to 8 reels of film into one large reel. This way you are able to start the scan and forget about it for ~20 hours as it scans frame-by-frame.

Hi everybody, The daffodils are out and bareroot edibles are in the nurseries.
I found a nice selection of blueberries 4-year old plants at the local nursery for $7.50 each, so I got 3. My choices were Berkeley, Bluecrop, and Earliblue. I know the flavors of the first two, but Earliblue is new for me. Got a big bag of ready-mixed acid soil mix, and planted my new babies the same day. Also acquired York and Nova elderberries (Sambucus canadensis) and jostaberries recently. What new edibles are you getting this season? We're waiting to hear .... Delina |

We're just starting our edible landscape. I've got blueberries, tayberries, honeysuckle, tabasco peppers, and grapes all in pots on my kitchen table right now. I'm sooooo excited! |

Red Currants. I have two older bushes already but just had to have move so ordered for spring. They have newer varieties now that were not available years ago when my old bushes were planted. |

Herbs and a Pear tree to go with the three peaches that I planted last year. mike |
Well, we got a Ranger Peach, a Morris Plum, a Bruce plum, an Alma Fig, and a Hachiyna Persimmon, some blackberry bushes and adding some more fig trees from rooted cuttings. |
Make sure you plant your fig tree where you want to leave it. I had to dig up part of my black fig tree, Boy was that a job! The tap root was about 4 feet down in the clay and I only managed to get the first 3 feet or so. My yard is a bit too cool for the fruits to ripen before frost hits, so maybe I'll build a greenhouse over it. . . . I may consider a pair of paw paw if I can only sample the fruit first to decide. |
Got and planted : 2 Pluots, 2 Pears, 2 Apples, Plum, Apricot, Cherry, 4in1 Asian Pear, 4in1 fruit cocktail, Hardy Kiwi, and 4 Figs. Most all have already broken dormancy !! EZ |
Almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts, hardy pecan, heartnut, butternut, pine nut, 4 grapes, hardy kiwi, sugar maples, ginkgo, lingonberry and wintergreen. Penny |
I just got in 6 nanking cherries, 1 candice seedless grape, i red lake currant, 5 rosa Rugosa and planted fresh passionflower incarnata seeds. All but the passionflower were shipped bare-root and should have arrived in late April. They arrived last weekend and the ground was covered by 8 inches of snow. I dug out potting soil out of my garage and potted everything up last Saturday. The cherries, currant and three of the roses have broken dormancy and I couldn't be happier (well if the passionflower seeds sprout this week maybe I could). Still waiting on a red kiwi and I just may have to go out (in about 1 1/2 months) and get myself a couple new paw paws (the ones I planted last summer may not have survived the onslaught of the roofers and the dogs: ( I don't even have tulips or daffodils yet and my basement is looking like spring! ~Chills |

I just planted my Jonkheer Van Tets, Redstart and Rovada Red Currants that arrived bare root today. We just had nice rain overnight so the ground was moist but not too wet. I ordered both Red and Black Nanking Cherries from St. Lawerence Nurseries but they haven't arrived as yet. I want to add more Blueberries also but have to made a raised planting bed. I have no time to get it done for bare root season as I have to concentate on planting the shrubs I did order and then its time for the veggie garden to get planted and al the annuals to get set in for Summertime color. I hope to get the Blueberries in the Fall. |

I can't belive this is still on the board. My red currants from last year are greening up so I hope they grow lots this year. I can see bloom clusters on the Red Starts which are early currants. I ordered nine Blueberry shrubs for this Spring as I never have enough Blueberries. It looks as if the six Blueberry shrubs I already have in the garden will bare heavily this year. I also ordered 3 more Red Nanking Cherries to go with the one Red and two Black Nanking Cherries I planted last year. Then I also ordered Dwarf Ground Cherry Shrubs, also known as Mongolian Cherry. |

Afew days ago I bought two Southern Highbush Blueberries to add to my blue berry collection that I found at a local nursery. Then today I found $6.96 blueberries at Home Depot in one gallon pots. They were older plants than the stuff you get mail order as the main stems coming from the ground were nice and woodey. But they were cut back so that there was all this new growth and flowers too. I got three plants, Chippewa, Hardiblue and Northsky. So that means I added 5 new Blueberry shrubs for myself and the birds to enjoy the fruit. |

NewYorkRita - three years worth of reports, you grow girl! Home Depot can sure surprise you - I found a peach there just release last year by ARS, 'Galaxy' a bigger version of 'Donut' (both are flat, white fleshed peaches with a delicate flavor). I nor anyone else have any idea if it will fruit in my zone so I'm playing pioneer. |
I put in an Illinios Everbearing Mulberry, three SEaberries, Three more cherry bushes (2 nanking and 1 Hansons), two more of Peterson's Pawpaws, 2 different serviceberries, 2 manchurian apricot, boysenberries, white currants, pink currants, and more Yellow Wonder alpine strawberries. I'm sure I'm forgetting something Rita, one day we've got to visit eachother's orchards. Did you find a big difference between the black and red Nankings? Also, you're right the goumi blooms are tiny...and they take forever to open! ~Chills |
- Posted by newyorkrita z6/7 NY (My Page) on Sun, May 15, 05 at 13:13
Orchard, HA HA!!! It is just my yard but I do have lots of stuff. So far, I have found no difference between the Black and Red Nanking Cherries because this is the first year I should have fruit as they both bloomed at the same time and I got cross pollination. My original Red Nanking, which is the biggest of the lot, blooms before all the others. It has dropped its blossoms by the time the Blacks and my three newer reds start blooming. Very odd. However, this year my 2 Black Nankings and the three newer Reds all bloomed nicely on the same schedule and I think I have fruit coming. I bought another Red Nanking from Raintree this spring, thinking to try a different scource (my others are from St Lawrence Nursery) but they sent a dead stick so no luck there. While I am on the subject of Raintree, they made me wait a whole year for my replacement Blackberries and this spring were out of the Arapaho so I got a credit instead. I couldn't believe it! I had called (and added to my replacements) and they assured me my blackberries were coming. I did get my replacement Apaches and I also was smart enough to get the new Ouachita blackberries so at least I do have a blackberry patch finially. |

Influenza kills somewhere between 3,000 to 40,000 Americans annually. According to the Centers for Disease Control " from the 1976-1977 season to the 2006-2007 flu season, flu-associated deaths ranged from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people." with an average of about 25,000 deaths per year.
So far this year, there have been 18 pediatric deaths. It's very early in the season. Last year there were 34. The year before that, 122, and the year before that, 282. That might appear to be a downward trend, but it really reflects that influenza strains are highly variable from year to year, and there is an ebb and flow of deaths.
282 child deaths is how many Newtown massacres?
figure from above link,
The fact is, every person who has influenza is a vector for others to catch it. The vaccine is not 100% effective, but it's the best thing we have to reduce epidemic impact and save lives. It's not about someone with a few aches and pains, fever and a chance to watch old movies and wear pajamas. It's about reducing the # of tragedies. All of those hundreds of children who died in the past 4 years had parents who grieved just as much as Newtown parents grieved.
It's hard to predict, butthis season looks like it could be a doozy. I hope not. Of course there are flawed predictions. It's an inexact science.
So that's the context for why this nurse pisses me off. She wants to continue working in a hospital, where she could contract influenza, and potentially infect many others before developing symptoms herself. It's not that easy to differentiate flu from bronchitis from cold, in the early stages.
Plus, it's being taken as a case for religious freedom: "
'I feel like in my personal faith walk, I have felt instructed not to get a flu vaccination, but it's also the whole matter of the right to choose what I put in my body..."
Sue Schrock, a hospice nurse, said she has not had a flu vaccine for 30 years as a result of a choice she made because of her Christian faith."
Alan Phillips, who represented several nurses at the hospital, says his clients had the right to refuse their flu shots under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination of employees. Religion is legally broad under the First Amendment, so it could include any strongly held belief, he said, adding that the belief flu shots are bad should suffice.
I don't know how the "rights" aspect will turn out. If a hospital worker claimed they couldn't wear mask or gloves in surgery because of their religion, how would that go over? But they won't, so that's a moot point.
All I know is it pisses me off and sets a bad example.
I wasn't soliciting opinions as to whether the other posters believed that forced vaccinations should or should not be legal in the U.S., I was asking if anyone knew whether a U.S. citizen has the right to refuse a vaccination.
Of course, I always refuse the flu vaccine.
This is a very touchy subject. I am still torn on this issue. It is easy to say that a medical worker doesn't have the right to refuse. But, I am just looking at taking that right away from someone else. As a patient I would not want that worker treating me if I didn't have the vaccination. It wouldn't make any difference to me if I was already vaccinated. As an employer I wouldn't want to cover the expected sick days of the unvaccinated employee (especially one that has a higher exposure to pathogens).
The religious excuse turns me off. But what about personal freedom.
I admit to some conflict too. I think the religious excuse is damn near bogus, a way to get around they just don't trust shots. I think there are places where public health trumps personal freedom, and given the established science behind vaccination, and the risk to public health, I think this is such a case. Another is quarantine. If someone is highly infectious, such as active TB, should they be allowed to come and go as they please, untreated? Infecting others with fatal, potentially incurable disease?
A hospice nurse is more likely even that other nurses to be in contact with patients whose immune system is compromised and whose risk of infection is higher. She has a right to refuse vaccination, but not a right to then work in a setting where she puts others at risk.

Ok you guys form jersey wear hoods all winter long. I quit doing the sub 50 degree surfing a few years back due to it was only two months out of te year typically. The ice cream headaches got to be too much once into my 30's, but with this winter here in the VA/OBX the water got into the 30's and just into 40s after some warm weather so i broke down and bought a new suit. I got the Oneill Mutant 4/3 cause i need a hood in the middle of harsh winter months but i alos need a 4/3 non-hooded for 2 or 3 months out the year to go with my 3/2 Quik cell 6.
Anyway my question is this how should a hood fit around your head and neck? I wear a medium suit but i have small head, I wear like a size 7 fitted hat if that helps at all. Anyway the suit fits me perfectly Oneill's and Quiksilvers always do but the neck on the hood portion of the suit suit is not form fitting i realize you dont want it tight but not sure loose is good either. THe regular wetsuit neck fits great just worried the hood is not the right size, sure dont want flushing down m suit with a hood on. Oneill will switch out the hood size for me just wondering if someone could desribe what the proper fit should be for a hood and neck area on the hood.

What is preterm labor?Preterm labor is when you go into labor before the 37th week of pregnancy. This is scary because baby may come out when he's not fully ready and developed. What are the signs of preterm labor?Some of the signs to look out for if you think you're in preterm labor include vaginal discharge, leaking of amniotic fluid, vaginal bleeding or spotting, and pressure in the pelvis (or feeling like the baby is suddenly pushing down), as well as tightening, contractions or abdominal pain that's occurring regularly. Other symptoms include a low, dull backache and diarrhea. So if something doesn't feel right (regardless of whether you can pinpoint it), you may want to contact your doctor just to be on the safe side. Another thing: Make sure that you're not confusing preterm labor with Braxton Hicks contractions, which occur irregularly and infrequently during your pregnancy and are your body's way of preparing for labor. Are there any tests for preterm labor?Your doctor can tell if you're having preterm labor by observing changes in your cervix and monitoring your contractions. Some tests your doctor may use are a uterine monitor (to measure contractions), a fetal heart rate monitor (to record baby's heartbeat), an ultrasound (to measure the length of your cervix) and a check for fetal fibronectin (a substance that binds the fetal sac and the uterus lining -- your doctor will test swabs of your vaginal discharge). How common is preterm labor?According to the March of Dimes, preterm birth occurs in 12 percent of all pregnancies. How did I get preterm labor?Common risk factors for preterm labor include a previous preterm labor; pregnancy with multiples; problems with the uterus, cervix or placenta; smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol; amniotic fluid infections or lower genital tract infections; high blood pressure; diabetes; being underweight or overweight before pregnancy; gaining too little or too much weight during pregnancy; stress; multiple miscarriages; and anemia. It's important to note that even if you don't have those risk factors, you may still go through preterm labor. How will preterm labor affect my baby?Your baby may be born too soon. If baby is born premature, he may have a low birth weight, difficulty breathing, underdeveloped organs and infections. Premature babies may also be at a higher risk of having learning disorders and developmental and behavioral problems. What's the best way to treat preterm labor?If your doctor finds you're having preterm labor, he might order you on bed rest. Lying down on your left side to help circulation to your uterus may stop labor. If you're admitted to the hospital, your doctor may also give you medication to stop the contractions. -- Ashley S. Roman, MD, ob-gyn and clinical assistant professor at New York University School of Medicine Next Page >> Page 1 of 2

Sep 11th 2009 3:05AM I find it funny how Mac and Linux users are easily offended when major computer resellers prefer Windows to their OS.
As a resellers of personal computers I know for sure that 99% of my users basically "need" Windows. These people aren't looking for a instant messaging program on Google, no they want MSN - cause that's what their friends are using.
Every single piece of software you can use on Windows you can find for the other OS' as well, but my users aren't going to look for them. Most of the times if I get the computers back because of a virus/malware it is still installed in the same way I delivered it.
So please stop the whining, I've used all three OS and can't pick a winner, yet I still choose Windows - just cause it's easy ;)
The above add - even though it shows Linux - is most likely a way to show that Microsoft has fixed Vista and has finally made a OS that is worth using :P

The Bengals will be on national TV tonight taking on their big brother the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they'll be without Chad Ocho Cinco because he done broke a team rule. What kind of rules to the Bengals have anyway? No winning? HAHAHA.
Sorry to do this, guy who got hit in the face by Michael Boley's celebratory throw. But dang was it funny.
Athletes and coaches consistently fill reporters' notebooks with clichés and figures of speech, politicized and politically correct jargon that means nothing except that he or she respects the fans, the game and the opponent.
There are also players and coaches who consistently run their mouths, firing off arguments and declarations that distract their teammates and make them look like jackasses.
But for every hundred athletes too nervous to show their personal side or too conservative to speak out on controversial subjects or too stupid to shut up once in a while, there are players and coaches who are freaking hilarious and make athletes seem like real people instead of cliché robots and jocks.
Remember the Crypt Keeper from HBO's long-lost and much-beloved series Tales from the Crypt? He apparently now owns the Oakland Raiders, which is convenient given the team's "menacing" and "scary" persona over the years.
The photo above was taken at a press conference yesterday as the Keeper announced the hiring of new Raiders coach Hue Jackson.
Anyone who misses the days of Eric "The Helicopter" Hicks jamming on people's heads for the University of Cincinnati basketball team will have a chance to see Hicks suit up for another local team later this month, but this time he'll be playing football.
Hicks signed a one-day contract to play in the Cincinnati Commandos game against the Marion Blue Racers on April 28. He'll be in town practicing with the United Indoor Football League team during the next couple of weeks. He calls it his "OchoCinco moment."
Although he never played in the NBA, Hicks has been a professional basketball player since leaving UC after his senior season in 2006. Hicks has been a very good player in several European leagues, having played on championship and All-Star teams in such countries as Belgium, Poland, Russia, Israel, China and Spain.
Several notable NFL players had college basketball experience, including tight ends Antonio Gates, Jimmie Graham and Rob Gronkowski. Hicks, who is 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, hasn't played football since his sophomore year of high school in North Carolina. Although he doesn't expect to end up in the NFL any time soon, Commandos coach Billy Back says his size and athleticism could be real advantages in this league.
"He's an all-time fan favorite Bearcat and one of my favorites as well," Back said. "He's an athlete, and we can use his height to our advantage."
Hicks plans to return to Europe soon to resume his basketball career, but said in a release that he's excited about playing for the Commandos.
In addition to the April 28 game in which Hicks will play, the Commandos have home games at the Cincinnati Gardens May 12, May 26 and June 2. Tickets are $10-$22 and available through Ticket Master or the Cincinnati Gardens ticket office, 513-631-7793 or
2250 Seymour Ave. Find the team's website here.
Here's a video showing a bunch of cool stuff Hicks did as a Bearcat.
Drama, controversy and possibility. Three ingredients for television success and three ingredients the Cincinnati Bengals are all too familiar with. So when HBO's Hard Knocks, a television series that follows NFL teams through their preseason regiments, had to select a team to feature for the upcoming season, it would have been hard-pressed to find a team more fitting than the Cincinnati Bengals.
University of Cincinnati football fans have enjoyed a couple of pretty great seasons the last two years. That's partly why UC grad John Wise is in town during this homecoming weekend as part of his "One Great Season" project, a multi-media documentation of the 2009 college football season.
But although UC's recent success and 6-0 start this year is deserving of the recognition, Wise wouldn't be here if he didn't lose his job at WNBC-TV during the summer and choose a passion project over a job search. Wise, a 1994 UC graduate who's enjoyed a successful reporting career, decided to resurrect an idea he came up with back when he was in school at UC — to travel the country during an entire college football season, witnessing the year's most intriguing games and its most historic programs.
I spent part of Saturday night lying in my front yard, refusing to come inside the apartment until I found a cat to chase. I was supposed to spend the evening celebrating a big important Bearcat football win, but because of ill-advised strategy and an impressive comeback by West Virginia, my celebratory evening turned into a terrified binge.
A new book set for release Tuesday called League of Denial: The NFL, Concussions and the Battle for Truth is set to challenge the NFL and their denial of a connection between concussions and football.
Written by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru, investigative reporters for ESPN, the book claims the NFL has not only known about the connection between concussions in the NFL and long-term brain injuries for about 20 years, but the league has been actively trying to cover up these facts.
The suicides of Junior Seau as well as former NFL players such as the Bears' David Duerson and the Eagles' Andre Waters have brought this issue to the forefront of players' and fans' minds. All three players are thought to have suffered severe brain damage from injuries while playing football, all of which lead to their unfortunate suicides.
The NFL has claimed for years they had no knowledge of any relation between the brain injuries sustained from concussions and the deaths of professional players. Even in the face of a recent lawsuit from players, the league held firm to their stance.
The league did settle the recent lawsuit out of court for $765 million, and many questions were raised asking if the league has been honest with how much they know about the possible link between concussions and football.
For a long time, concussions in the professional level of football were not seen as a big issue because no one knew of the long-term effects. Former New York Jets defensive lineman Marty Lyons talked with Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com where he described his own sideline concussion experience.
Lyons said whenever a player would come off the field, the physician would hold up some fingers, ask how many and, despite the player's answer, the physician said, "Close enough." A couple plays later, or even the next play, the player would find themselves on the field once again.
"That wasn't the doctors or trainers saying, 'You're OK,'" Lyons said in the interview. "I'm not saying the league didn't know, I'm not saying the players didn't know. It was part of the game."
According to the authors of League of Denial, the cover-up of how much the NFL knew about the connection started when the former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue created a concussion committee in 1994 to better understand the effects of concussions on players. A few members of the committee came forward in 1995 saying concussions were not "minor injuries" as previously thought. These claims were quickly hushed by the NFL.
Another claim the book makes is that around 2000, some of the country's top neuroscientists told the NFL the big hits in football, especially those considered head-to-head, led to not only concussions, but also what is known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
Some of the symptoms of CTE are higher rates of depression, dementia, memory loss and brain damage.
The NFL, rather than publishing these findings and telling players of the potential harm, made no such effort and tried to ignore the facts.
Then in 2005, the authors report the NFL tried to persuade a medical journal to retract articles and findings on concussions and their effects on individuals. The journal in question refused and the findings continued to circulate without interference.
The authors spoke with Dr. Ann McKee, a former assistant professor of neuropathology at Harvard Medical School and one of the leading professionals on the link between football and brain damage, who said of the 54 harvested brains of deceased NFL players, only two did not have CTE.
However, all of these findings are not just exclusive to professional football. Youth, high school and college football players are also at a high risk for concussions.
A report from 2007 titled "Concussions Among United States High School and Collegiate Athletes," found that about 300,000 people aged 15 to 24 suffered traumatic brain injuries every year from contact sports. This number is only second to brain injuries sustained from motor vehicle accidents.
This same study also found of the total number of concussions from other collegiate sports, including boys' and girls' soccer and basketball, football was responsible for more than 40 percent of the concussions.
Concussions in high school sports have even led to the death of young athletes. Jaquan Waller and Matthew Gfeller are two football players who died in North Carolina after head injuries sustained during high school games this season.
A study from the University of Pittsburgh found that over the past decade, 30-40 high school football players have died from concussions, and the likelihood of contact sport athletes to receive a concussion is 19 percent.
Changes are coming to the NFL, however, most notably in the minds of players. Bengals' cornerback Brandon Ghee received two concussions in back-to-back preseason games against the Falcons and Titans. Ghee was forced to take a five-week break from contact because of these injuries.
In an interview with The Enquirer, Ghee said if it weren't for the recent deaths and lawsuit, he would have wanted to go back to play immediately. Now though, he's not so sure. "After the second one you have to think about your kids and family," Ghee said in the interview. "You don't want any long-lasting issues."
Well, it's August and to sports fans — real sports fans — that means one thing: preseason football.
The Bengals preseason training camp, for the first time ever, is being held at Paul Brown Stadium and all practices and scrimmages are free and open to the public.
Capacity shouldn't be an issue this year, unlike their former Georgetown, Ky., location which, let's face it, sat less people than most middle school lacrosse games.
If you're really jonesing for a Bengals fix, check out the Intrasquad Scrimmage 3 p.m. Saturday, which features the most full contact of camp.
Sunday at 6 is the Black/White mock game (take it easy Kathy Wilson, it's not what you think), where they split the team into two squads who play a minimal-contact game against one another. They keep score in that one, which, depending on what side A.J. Green is on, could be a good thing.
Speaking of wide receivers, Jordan Shipley's back from that pesky ACL tear that sidelined him for all of last season. The talented Mr. Shipley will be running routes alongside Brandon Tate, Antonio Bryant (yes, that Antonio Bryant) and third-round-pick Mohamed Sanu.
Some other new faces worth checking out are former Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis and rookie tight end Orson Charles.
Unfortunately, we'll have to wait on buying tickets to Kirkpatrick Island (wow, that really doesn't have a ring to it) as the new cornerback, and first-overall draft pick, is missing most of camp due to an undisclosed leg injury.
So check out the 2012 Bengals while it's still free. It's
the best chance you'll have to dip your toe in the water before deciding
if you want to sell a kidney to afford those Party Deck tickets. For the complete preseason schedule, click here.

Do they exist? The most reasonably priced one I can find is made by KitchenAid: KXW9748YSS The KA can be had for around 2k with an internal 1200CFM blower. Any opinions on KA hoods? The complication seems to be the hood depth - there are a few that are under 24" depth that are reasonably priced but anything 24"+ is very very pricey. There are tons of eBay that appear to be reasonably priced but I'm not sure how much of a gamble those are. Example no-name ebay hood I really can't believe how much the hoods are. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Check out Kobe hoods. I purchased my 48" 1100 cfm hood (Kobe RA0248SQB-1 ) a few years ago for around $1700 from www.thenaturalhome.com. I just checked and they are offering it now for $1600 with free shipping. It is a really pretty chimney style, with baffle filters, and it's very quiet. Kobe hoods have a great reputation. Good luck |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Wed, Jun 19, 13 at 1:36
I was going to suggest Kobe also. I was all set to order one after months and months of hood research until I scored a clearance Rangecraft unit. Kobe has a good reputation here on GW (checkout the Appliance Forum) for good quality, high cfms, and reasonable pricing. IIRC, they don't make hoods deeper than 24". And yes, deeper than that gets into $$$. |
I'd also recommend Proline hoods. I didn't look to see if they have what you need specifically, but they are a high-quality hood company, with a great reputation and a QUIET blower. Ours is still not installed, but I know someone else with one and she loves it! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Proline range hoods
home4all6, I found Proline hoods but it seemed like they were a little unknown (eBay frontend?) but maybe my research was sub-par. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these appear to be the same exact hoods: ProLine eBay I am partially tempted to just buy the eBay one and cross my fingers due to the huge savings. Which hood from ProLine did you end up with? Thanks! |
What about Summit brand? Sales person from AJ Madison is recommending the Summit over the same price models from Broan or Zephyr. Maybe because the actually intake area is bigger on the Summit??? Summit Broan Zephyr If you think I can get a much better unit for just $200 I can definetely go for it. But want to stay under $800. There is this other one by Zephyr: Kobes seem to be good, but are all over $1000. Thanks so much |
Ok the links above don't seem to work Here they are again: Summit: Broan: Zephyr: Others more expensive: Thanks so much |

My conifer garden tours give me the side benefit to interact with a diversified group of gardeners. They have many questions. Some I can answer others I cannot. I am sure the same applies to those who interact on this forum.
This has never been tried before but let's give it a try. This thread is an open opportunity to discuss any issues encompassing conifer subject matter. Your wants, dislikes, how to do it, when not to do it, where to buy, give a ways, planting tips, disease/insect control, and generally questions you were hesitant to ask for one reason or another. Let's make this a broad based question and answer thread. Open to any subject matter. Ask away. I'll start by giving away two Ginkgo biloba species 1st year seedlings. This is a big tree. One to customer. I'll pot them after the leaves fall and send them your way. USPS. Dave |
Follow-Up Postings:
Dave, It's usually fun to be on a tour and I too enjoy talking plants with visitors. We have hundreds of different conifers and woodies. However, the comment we can always count on is....I didn't know there was more than one kind of.........Gingko. It always makes us smile. Jay |

being an 'extra' on the regional meeting.. this summer was the first time i had 'many' peeps thru the garden.. who actually 'knew' about conifers.. [and i am talking volume.. not just small groups of 2 or 3 .. as with joy in winter] usually the garden tours are hosta specific.. and sometimes peeps spun around to see a conifer.. but it was a big thrill ... to have 20 odd peeps.. in 2 days ... who knew stuff i didnt know.. and enjoyed stuff i shared with them ... who knew ginkgo seeded in z5 .... is this normal dave?? .. or perhaps a warm winter thing ??? and which ginkgo are they off of??? in the olden days on GW.. they used to call this an 'Idyll' ... sorta what i thought of as a gang of friends sitting in the garden.. just shootin the bull ... [wonder how that will translate to another language.. lol ...] ken |
I'll tell you one thing that grass is looking pretty damn good for the heat and drought you have. |
- Posted by firefightergardener 7/8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 3, 12 at 15:13
I'll add some plants to the 'giveaway', especially if people don't mind some shipping costs. If there's enough interest, I can look at which specimens in September/October. -Will |
- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 3, 12 at 15:37
I will also have plants in the fall for the 'giveaway', although mine come with a catch - I'd like to trade for scion wood next winter. :0) Alex |
Here is a general question - sort of... I cannot think of any strongly weeping or pendulous forms of Picea orientalis. Seems like there must be one or two out there. What have I missed? |
"I'll tell you one thing that grass is looking pretty damn good for the heat and drought you have". Whass...so is my water bill. I have no choice but to sustain my garden. rc, I had Picea orientalis 'Pendula'. It expired in last years heat. I never considered it very pendulous. Beautiful conifer but never lived up to my expectations. Maybe Edwin will chime in and give some direction. Dave |
- Posted by coniferjoy 10 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, Aug 3, 12 at 16:52
Randall and Dave, I do have a 'Pendula' which is showing pendulous branches. Because I tranplanted it 2 years it was a bit stessed and made some cones because I think it had in mind that it possibly could die... I collected the cones and sown the seeds and till my surprise some seedlings arose, even some yellow one's, possibly pollinated by a 'Skylands' which is standing nearby. Now I do hope that a straight weeper, or may be a golden straight weeper will appaer...will be continued...in 5 years :0) On the other hand I just saw a pic of a the biggest weeping one I ever saw at the Picea orientalis photo gallary 2012 a few seconds ago... |
I don't have conifers to share but do have plenty of perennials to be rid. I've been longing for a Ginkgo. Gardening with trees and shrubs is my latest passion. I've taken with the notion if I have to mess with a plant more than I care to I don't want to bother with it. Out the window it goes! I've been ruthlessly ridding of my perennials to make room for the shrubs. I welcome visitors anytime if you're in the neighborhood. |

Hello, I can't believe I am going to post, but here goes ... I've been reading your conifer posts daily for the past several months. I envy your knowledge and camaraderie. I have started reading several books on conifers as well. I dream of going on a road trip and touring any of your gardens one day. My daughter studies in Philadelphia and I drive there often. We have 2 acres in zone 5 one hour west of Toronto, Ontario. In the fall I would like to start a few conifer gardens. If you were starting out, what are the ten conifers you would buy for a zone 5 garden in full sun with clay soil? We have dozens of spruce, pine trees we planted at the road 25yrs ago, so there will be a nice solid 'backdrop' visually. Thank you for any help you would be willing to provide me. |

Hi Jennifer, welcome to the forum and welcome to the realm of the "real" gardeners, the guys that live on the edge of mountains, the guys and gals that climb 100 feet to collect that one cone or that one witches' broom...the athletes of the 'Conifers Forum'! ;D You know I think you deserve a 1 hour 45 minute road trip to Whistling Gardens to visit our friend Darren Heimbecker. Not only does he have rare conifers for sale, he has recently, himself, built an arboretum that I would like to tour! Darren is really a gentleman, too. I think you should start there. I think you'll find enough information & ideas right there and all the conifers you'd ever need, as well, at his nursery. Dax |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 9:56
zephyrgal, I'm with you! My once perennial-heavy garden wore me out and was too drab in winter. Now I'm almost perennial-free! I donated many to plant sales or gave them to friends or just composted them. I've never looked back and you won't, either, especially in our mild zones where we can be outdoors in winter. Get yourself a Ginkgo - there are some great dwarf varieties. The fall foliage is a sight to behold, and many have interesting structures that are attractive in winter. We're headed to Oregon next month to check out some gardens and nurseries - I always love to visit the PNW. Sara |
Just to add to Saras post above, Ive purchased a few dwarf ginkgos from Whitman Farms. Nice selection, nice trees, nice folks to deal with. Ship west coast to east coast...no problems. ALs 00.02 |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 12:09
Alley Cat which do you have? My favorites are 'Todd's Dwarf' and 'Mariken' because I like the bushy forms and they lend themselves to a bit of pruning for shape, but I'd be interested to know which you have experience with and like. Sara |
Sara, please visit my garden in the PNW. If your driving highway 101 north you'll be right in my neighborhood. I'll even give you a few perennials! Ha! |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 13:00
We'll be starting in Washington (Bellingham) and then driving down to the Portland area (Oregon Garden and nurseries) and then to Roseburg to visit a private garden and then up to Portland and back to Seatac to fly out. Where are you on that route? This is a pretty packed trip, but we are already planning a return so might be better to wait for that. And dang...no way to take perennials on the airplane! |
Sara, I'm located on the coast, south of Astoria and north of Tillamook, due west of Portland about 100 miles, doesn't look like I'm on your route. |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 13:52
No, and we are already pushing it by going to Roseburg. But the next trip will be more 'coastal' so I'll clip your post and refer back when we plan that one. If you are an ACS member, the Western Regional conference is down here this year (Oct 19 and 20) and my garden is part of the program. We'll connect at some point, north or south! Sara |
- Posted by Lowville5 5 (email@example.com) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 14:01
Thank you, Dax. I didn't know about Whistling Gardens, but now that I have spent some time on their website, I can't wait to go! Once I tour the arboretum, I'll see if I can speak with Darren to create a wish list of conifers to order from his garden centre. Thank you. |

Hey Sara, if you're looking for a fun conifer garden to poke around, Glacier's End is a mere 3 miles north of I5 near Olympia. You'll be passing by twice. PM me if you're interested. I love to tour coneheads around. ~Dave |
- Posted by coniferjoy 10 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 15:12
Yep, 'Glacier's End' is worth your time to visit it. Henk and I also did this last winter and we had a great time there. We saw a wonderful garden with a very nice assortment of conifers! |
- Posted by formandfoliage 9b (Sunset zone 15) (My Page) on Sun, Aug 5, 12 at 15:22
Dave I will look at our itin. One of those times we're going past is in the wee hours. We really want to visit Hoh so I know we'll be back up there. I'll send you a note. Sara |

I love the conifer forum because everyone is friendly and so many of you are knowledgeable and passionate about conifers. Plus there are so many great pictures to drool over. As I posted a few weeks back I am getting rid of many of my perennials because I got bitten by a copperhead lurking ( do snakes lurk?) under a daylily plant. So anyone in northern VA that wants plants please let me know. Conifers are more manageable and I can mulch them so I will not have the weeding problem I did with perennials. I want to know which conifers do well in fairly hot conditions planted up against a stone patio. |
OK, I have a question: We all know that most cultivars are grafted from the "mother plant", what we would call "clones". We also know that each species of tree have their own maximum longevity.If you take, for instance, Abies concolor "Candicans" wich has been there since the late '20s...What's going to happen in 200 years when the mother plant and all the scions taken from it will have reached their maximum life expectancy? Will they all die at the same time or go on forever? Is that a stupid question? Dan |
No, but a funny one! |
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5/6 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 7, 12 at 0:41
drdna. "Juvenile growth" two words for your answer. (as opposed to old-hardwood). Juvenile is new, it takes on the traits of a new beginning. Dax |

Alley Cat great photo - and great choice of a planter box. I am writing an article on dwarf ginkgos so I may come back to you for some comments. Not enough people (at least out here) use these plants. |

InfoComm International Forms Independent Technical Service Providers Council
Nov 28, 2011 3:51 PM
The InfoComm International Board of Directors has approved the creation of an Independent Technical Service Providers Council, a new group with the objective of promoting the role of independent technical service providers (ITSP) for outsourced integration and event project work. The council also gives the independent technical service providers a collective voice with hardware and software vendors.
"InfoComm International is pleased to support this growing segment of the AV industry," said Duffy Wilbert, CTS, CAE, Senior Vice President of Membership, InfoComm International.
Along with the approval of the council, the InfoComm Leadership Development Committee appointed Mark DelGuidice, CTS, owner of Wire Wizards Integration in San Diego, as the Council Chair. DelGuidice led the effort to form the new council.
"I wanted to create a home for this particular segment of InfoComm members" said DelGuidice. "These professionals fill a specific role that differs from those of traditional integration, rental, staging or distributor organizations."
The Independent Technical Service Providers Council will hold its first formal meeting in November. Members who would like to participate in this council should contact the InfoComm staff liaison Marc Bialek at email@example.com.
The ITSP Council is one of nine InfoComm councils representing industry segments, including: the Independent Consultants in Audiovisual Technology (ICAT) Council; the Independent Programmers Council; the Independent Reps Council; the Manufacturers Council; the Rental & Staging Council; the Systems Integration Leadership Council (SILC); the Technology Managers Council; and the European Council.
InfoComm Works to Protect the Meetings Industry
When business meetings and events are cancelled, it is often the hourly-wage workers who pay the highest price. Generating one million jobs and $27 billion in wages in the U.S. alone, meetings and events represent an important part of the U.S. economy.
InfoComm International has been working with a variety of coalitions to convince policymakers to tone down the dangerous rhetoric leading to the cancellation of meetings and events around the country; to embrace sensible guidelines for companies receiving taxpayer assistance; and to promote travel as an economic solution. InfoComm has joined U.S. Travel and other partner associations to achieve these goals through the launch of the Meetings Mean Business campaign in March 2009. The Meetings Mean Business campaign has utilized grassroots mobilization, paid advertising, new media strategies and breakthrough research to help policymakers, the media and the public understand the value of meetings and events and the one million jobs they support.
In addition, InfoComm is working with the American Society of Association Executives to preserve the right of non-profit organizations that lobby to host widely attended events with government employees. Currently, the Obama administration is considering implementing this restriction, which would have negative impacts on groups that host trade shows, training events and conferences.
InfoComm is also supporting The International Association of Exhibitions & Events (IAEE) new public relations campaign promoting the value of face-to-face meetings. This three-year program, kicking off in December, is the largest strategic initiative ever conducted by IAEE. The campaign will be conducted by Edelman Public Relations.
NFPA 72-2010 and Its Implications for the AV Industry
InfoComm International has developed a white paper on NFPA 72-2010 and its impact on the audiovisual industry. Building codes have existed for almost 4,000 years. To this day, building and safety codes dictate construction practices. But codes have only become high priority for AV professionals over the last 50 years, as AV equipment migrated from the movable rolling cart to permanent installation in public and private buildings.
Fire detection and prevention also has a long history. But the intersection of building codes with fire detection and AV equipment is a much more recent trend. For years, fire alarm notification was limited to bells, horns, and telegraph messages. Only in the latter half of the 20th century have we seen the use of visible notification devices and commercial loudspeakers in fire-alarm notification systems. Even then, these devices have been primarily special-purpose devices such as strobe lights and low-fidelity (but very loud) loudspeakers or combination devices.
The requirements for use of these devices, along with all other elements of a fire alarm system, were assembled in a collection of documents which eventually became the National Fire Alarm Code (or NFPA 72), first published by the National Fire Protection Association in 1993. But it wasn't until the most recent revision of NFPA 72 that code-compliant commercial/professional-grade audio systems and video displays were recognized as legitimate components of an emergency communications system.
The 2010 edition of NFPA 72 has been called the most significant revision of the National Fire Alarm Code since its creation. Among the changes in the 2010 edition is a new emphasis on the design, installation and performance characteristics of audio and video components and systems. Many areas of expertise we normally associate with audiovisual professionals are now clearly linked with the life-safety and construction industries.
Adoption of the revised code is still in the very early stages. The "inter-industry" exposure that this code revision represents will likely result in increased opportunities for AV professionals. Taking advantage of such opportunities requires knowledge of the relevant revisions. This InfoComm International white paper reviews the important new changes to NFPA 72 as a result of the 2010 revision, and the potential implications for the AV communication industry. To read the white paper please visit www.infocomm.org.
