text: you asked... What Is an Episiotomy? A friend of mine needed an episiotomy when she gave birth. Can you explain what this is? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: A friend of mine needed an episiotomy when she gave birth. Can you explain what this is? An episiotomy is an incision in the perineum (the skin between the vagina and anus) that helps baby fit through. Doctors used to routinely perform episiotomies because a surgical cut was thought to prevent tearing. But, it's now known that episiotomies don't prevent tears, and that natural tears actually tend to heal better than episiotomies. However, doctors will still perform an episiotomy in certain situations, such as to help deliver baby more quickly when there are signs of fetal distress.If your doctor does decide you need an episiotomy, you'll receive a local anesthetic (unless your perineum is already numb from the pressure of baby's head). Once baby is safely delivered, your doc will give you another shot of local anesthesia and stitch up the cut. After a few weeks, the stitches (and your memory of this icky part of childbirth) will disintegrate. watch: more about episiotomies re: Q: What is an episiotomy? I wonder if this info is accurate b/c my Dr told me exactly the opposite. He said that tears are harder to stich up b/c they are not a clean cut karukaru | re: Q: What is an episiotomy? I went to my doctor a few weeks ago saying I wanted an episiotomy & did not want to tear. I had one with my first & it was fine for me. I heard the same about the stitching being easier. This time though they are against it & said if they cut & then say the elbow comes out with the head or she is turned a weird way it could make it so I tear to the 4th degree which would be to my rectum & that can cause serious problems. So I have changed my mind. EJAYDE5801 | re: Q: What is an episiotomy? Tears are harder to stitch, but heal better (less painful healing and less problems long term). Another thing to keep in mind is the analogy of cloth ripping. If you take a piece of cloth and try and rip it, it is hard to do, but if you put a nick in it or start cutting it, then try and rip, it becomes much easier. Not to say that all episiotomies lead to tears, sometimes episiotomies have their place, just that sometimes they can make what would be a small tear a very bad tear. DerdsGirl | In my childbirth classes, they said that natural tearing is better and your healing process will be faster. In addition, mistakes can be made with the episiotomy, causing problems in the rectal area. Constant2001 | There is no reason to voluntarily have an episiotomy. It is not natural and the cloth ripping analogy is so true, once cut, you will just rip easier. You also have a higher risk of infection and you may not heal correctly. Let your baby be born naturally and tell that doctor NO. I am absolutely not having an episiotomy. shaymichelle89 | Well, I just delivered Saturday night and I have to say, when my daughter's head was out and the cord was around her neck and the shoulders were stuck, they didn't even ask me (nor did I care)---they just cut. At that point I didn't even realize what they were doing. I would never ask for a cut just because---but trust me...if you really do NEED one (like I did) you will just be happy that your child was born okay. My daughter is beautiful and eventually I'll heal up just fine. carouselgirl73 | I actually had to have 2 episiotomies during my first delivery. It took me just over 2 hours to push her out, and I was so tired when the MD told me she was going to "cut" me, I said "just do what you have to do". Fairly uncomfortable recovery, I'm hoping not to need one with my second child! AllieK05 | I was adamant I did not want an episiotomy. While I was pushing before I delivered my daughter my nurse warned me I was going to tear. I told her that was fine. My doctor honored my wishes. I had a level 3 tear. My doctor stitched me up. It was swollen and soar for about a week. By week two I was 95+% feeling back to normal down there. My daughter is now 3 months and I'd never know that I'd torn. All my friends that have had episiotomies have had pain and discomfort for as long as a year+. Every birth is different, there are always medical issues that may justify an episiotomy... but if you don't have to get one just let nature take its course. tansytat | I visited the chiropractor the other day and she recommended to start moisturizing "down there" and even inside some what with an oil so to help with stretching so that I wouldn't tear. Any thoughts on this recommendation? I haven't heard of it any where else. katiebabe5 | Oil may help. My mom has 7 kids, she is very small. Had them all at home, no tearing whatsoever, her Doctor constantly stretching used olive oil during labor. I am due in 10 days and am bringing the oil with me in a small container to have someone do while I am in labor, if you can't get your labor nurse to do it - see if you can get someone else to help. My mom has delivered dozens of babies so I am fortunate to have her help. This is my 2nd, didn't rip at all with the 1st. I think a lot is genetics too. Good luck! krobinsd | can you feel or hear the ripping sound when you tear....and now hearing about episiotomy makes me want to just let nature take its course trinity16 | Hi gang! With my first born I did not elect for an episiotomy based on more current guidance that tearing is better than cutting. Since he was 9.6 lbs, I tore and I had a horrible time healing. I think it was mostly because of the way in which I tore. I have no idea if getting cut would have provided a cleaner cut for them to have stitched but it makes me wonder?? I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second and am just praying that my first son 'paved the way'...LOL...for the next one as they're projecting him to be just as big. All in all, I think it's a crap-shoot. There's no right way and each case is different. The one thing I will say is LOOK INTO PERINEAL MASSAGE. It is where you massage the area between the vagina and the rectum and yes, olive oil works well for this. It's kind of hard to do on yourself so have fun with it with your spouse or find a midwife or doula that can do it for you but you want to START AT 35 WEEKS...don't wait until delivery. Here is a good site to look at for this process: http://www.pregnancy.org/article/perineal-massage. Good luck to each of you. Do you research & find what will work best for you as an individual! carriegq | i had to have an episiotomy because my daughter got stuck, i had an epidural so didnt need a local but it caused alot of problems for me, the muscle u have between the vagina n bum had completely severed n was left with one gapin hole, i had to have emergency surgery n a blood transfusion, if it can be avoided, i wouldnt recommend them, its better to tear naturally n will heal much better n quicker moonwalker84 | I had a level 4 tear with my first (8 pounds 8 ounces) whose arm came out with his 14 1/2 inch head. I had an episiotomy with #2 (8 pounds 3 ounces) but tore anyway with his 14 inch head. I am 37 weeks preggo with #3 and he is already measuring nearly 10 pounds by ultrasound and we are looking at a c-section, but if I do end up delivering vaginally I will ask for an episiotomy knowing how big he already is and dealing with scar tissue already on 4 levels. I totally trust my doc and will leave it up to her. nothingwithoutjesus | I am a short woman, only 5'1", and with my first child i said only do an episiotomy if it was needed. my doctor did not perform one. In the end I tore just a little, took only 20 minutes to push my son out, and he was an 8 pounds 7.2 ounce baby, and his head and length were in the 90 percentile (omg huge head aaacck!!). I ended up with three tiny stitches. I would say to any woman doing a vaginal birth to just try to not be afraid of tearing. it sounds horrifying I know but three small stitches are MUCH BETTER than a long cut in your body. Just try to relax and not be afraid, in the end your tear might not be so bad. that being said, i am 38 weeks along with baby number 2, also a boy, and I hope things go as well as they did with the first one. dejahdonut | my first child I was cut and still ripped to a fourth degree,and My son was 8# 12 oz with very broad shoulders even if i was not cut i still would have torn I did not know that i tore nor could i feel it with all that was going on with delivering and the joy of a haveing my little guy in my arms. i think it is a personal choice, im getting it done again just to have a clean tear hopefully not a fourth degree again but my body will heal and so will everyone elses just rember that no matter how bad it hurts or sounds the birth of a happy healthy child makes it all worth it best of luck to all ...i`ll be Induced in 7 days with # 2 :) alwrube | Prevention is key. Do you kegal exercises and get off you back. Doctors may want you to deliver your baby on your back but that is the worst position. You will have an easier time delivering your baby squatting or getting on your hands and knees. Do your research. pchefshawna | I too was cut during my first delivery. I wish I had been more adamant about not wanting an episiotomy. The scar was painful over a year later. Luckily my mom is a physical therapist and suggested I go to a women's health PT. They deal with things like incontinence but also painful episiotomy scars. After a few visits it was much better. So many women don't even know about this option, but you should not be having pain a year after you give birth. I'm now due with my second and I think I'll take my chances with a natural tear... BabyV1009 | I had a 2nd degree episiotomy with my son. He was just under 9 lbs and had shoulder dystocia. It was the one thing that my OB and I had discussed and I was against. However, at the time, I asked, "Is it medically necessary." And he said that yes, my son was in distress and needed out NOW. I agreed. I was honestly to afraid to touch it for several days, fearing the worst. By the time I did (still less than a week later), the stitches had mostly dissolved and it didn't bother me at all. Yes, it was tender to sit down for a week or so, but that's the case with any baby, not just if you tear or get cut. While I hope not to need one this time around (getting induced in 6 days!), if it's necessary again, I will agree again. I still would prefer that to a tear. And as a totally different bonus, I felt like it "tightened me up" a little bit down there, instead of being stretched out after childbirth :) ponygirlatcua | We did the massage, I still tore & had an episiotomy. You won't know until you get to that point how your body will respond. Aprl2013 | With my first, I tore and needed only 7 stitches. Tearing is a natural occurrance and I healed within a week and a half. Having an episiodomy takes longer to heal, alsothe Doc. may cut more then he needs. Doctors are quick to do and say things, to make their jobs more exciting and challenging. Watch "The business of Being Born". Interventions is what Docs are all about. If your body was meant to tear during childbirth, let it happen, because it is natural. That is my opinion. Leviislove | Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts

Herge WM et al. – Understanding the mechanisms by which family organization is associated with metabolic control provides insight into possible avenues of prevention/intervention for better diabetes management.
Methods- Data from the baseline assessment of a longitudinal RCT were used, wherein 257 adolescent–parent dyads (adolescents aged 11–14) each completed the family organization subscale of the Family Environment Scale, the self-efficacy for Diabetes Self-Management Scale, the Diabetes Behavior Rating Scale, and 2 24-hr diabetes interviews.
- Structural equation modeling showed greater family organization was associated indirectly with better disease management behaviors via greater family self-efficacy.
- Greater self-efficacy was indirectly associated with better metabolic control via better disease management both concurrently and prospectively.
- The full model indicates more family organization is indirectly associated with better metabolic control concurrently and prospectively through greater self-efficacy and better disease management.

Reducing Holiday Decoration Clutter
If you celebrate Christmas, you probably have your home decorated and ready to go for Saturday. Now is the perfect time to get rid of any items that are cluttering up your Christmas decoration collection. Here's how:
- Are there any items you didn't use to decorate your home this year? If you aren't using a decoration, it could be a sign that the decoration is clutter. Photograph the item if it has sentimental meaning to you, and then trash, recycle, or donate the item to a group that is interested in accepting holiday decorations (hospitals, nursing homes, and daycare centers often want these items).
- Do you love all the decorations you're using? If you don't love an item or if it doesn't bring you any joy, it could be a sign that the decoration is clutter. Remove it from display and trash, recycle, or donate the item as needed.
- Set a storage limit. Just because you might have space to store all of your decorations, doesn't mean you should keep everything. Set a limit now (two Rubbermaid bins or a taped area of floorspace or whatever method works for you), so when it comes time to put your decorations away you can adhere to the storage limit.
- Do you have any duplicates? If you have more than one of a decoration, it could be a sign that you should get rid of the extras. Obviously, if there are five people in your family you would want to keep five stockings. However, you probably don't need 10 stockings for your family of five.
- Pass it on. If you have grown children, you may want to pass along ornaments and decorations to them to enjoy in their homes. This is especially fun to do with children who have recently moved out of your home and are establishing their own traditions.
Try your best not to pack away any holiday decoration clutter this year by getting started on your decluttering efforts now.

'Blood' Review: Well Acted, Beautifully Shot, Often Uninteresting
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on August 12, 2013 | Be the First To CommentCrime-related dramas usually do one of two things well. They're either interested solely in the mystery itself, or they're more focused on the characters and their journey into darkness. In rare cases, like David Fincher's Zodiac or Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder, a movie can nail both halves with equal skill and effect. Blood takes the second path, eschewing any real mystery or suspense to focus on two brothers, both in blood and in blue, whose investigation into a teenage girl's murder leads to a crime of their own. They're soon tasked with solving the very crime they committed, and as the pressure to close the case mounts the fragility of the two men's lives begins to crack. Unfortunately they crack and crumble in the ways viewers will most likely expect.
British Horror Film 'Doghouse' Squanders a Bloody, Boob Filled Opportunity
Movie Reviews By Robert Fure on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentDoghouse, which was called Zombie Harlem in Japan (I can't tell if that's better or worse), is a British horror-comedy that's been resting in my Netflix queue for the better part of two years. One of those films that sounds interesting, but has an air of uncertain quality about it. The official synopsis goes a little something like this: a group of men head to a remote village to help their friend get over a divorce, only to find it overrun with women who hunger for flesh. Sounds titillating right? And by titillating, I mean it should have a lot of boobs in it, right? And carnage? And death? Correct! That's what it sounds like. But that's not what it is.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 9, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on December 10, 2011 | Comments (3)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr hunkers down and braces for award season. He also prepares for an onslaught of celebrity guest stars in New Year's Eve, which features a poster that looks like a "Friends available to chat" sidebar on Facebook. In order to watch all the movies for the week, Kevin hires the only babysitter available… Jonah Hill. What could possibly go wrong with that? Fortunately this frees him up to see some of the smaller releases, like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, W.E. and I Melt with You. And he wraps up the week wondering why everyone needs to talk about him.
Trailer for 'Texas Killing Fields' Sadly Doesn't Reveal Homicidal Marshlands
Movie News By Kate Erbland on August 18, 2011 | Comments (3)Ani Canaan Mann's second feature film, Texas Killing Fields, has had a somewhat long journey to the screen, and has gone through some slightly different incarnations, from involvement with other behind-the-camera talent (namely Danny Boyle) to the shorter, gentler title of The Fields. But with the film showing in competition at Venice, it looks like it may be smooth sailing from here on out. Despite a pretty standard true crime plotline, there's something about Texas Killing Fields that has kept me intrigued for many months. Maybe it's that the film's cast is almost murderously good, as it includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Sam Worthington, Chloe Grace Moretz, Jessica Chastain, Stephen Graham, Jason Clarke, and Annabeth Gish. That's got to be it.
Second 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' Trailer Shows Possible Tinkers, Tailors, Soldiers, and Spies
Movie News By Kate Erbland on August 4, 2011 | Comments (4)Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy comes to us thanks to Tomas Alfredson, who is best known to horror freaks as the director of the original Let the Right One In, which is nervy and terrifying and better than just about any other vampire film made, oh, well, pretty much ever. Now it looks as if Alfredson is trying to do for the spy genre what he did for the vampire genre – basically, make it exciting and interesting again. The loverly Rob Hunter showed us the first trailer for the film back in June, and I proceeded to slobber all over it like I'd never seen a piece of movie marketing before. The film features an all-star cast packed with badasses, including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, Ciaran Hinds, Mark Strong, Toby Jones, John Hurt, and Stephen Graham. It's essentially as if every single actor you've ever wanted to see in a spy flick got together and made that spy flick, but made it much more clever than you would have been able to craft on your own.
Cannes 2011 Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 14, 2011 | Comments (8)The fourth step in a franchise can often be the sticking point, especially when that franchise has taken a break of sorts after the third installment – just ask fans of Die Hard, Indiana Jones, Alien and Scream. The issues are generally two-fold, as the filmmakers are charged with somehow making a high-numbered sequel that retains the spirit of the original, at the same time as offering something new and compelling enough to entice new fans. Add to that the fact that that gap generally means that the fourth installment has to make enough money to turn heads, and certainly a lot more than would traditionally accepted of a third sequel, and you have a minefield of potential pitfalls. But surely Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides would be okay? Regardless of the critical reaction, the film will make an obscene amount of money, so that won't be an issue, but the pre-release noises coming from the Mouse House, and director Rob Marshall actually seemed to suggest that this particular number 4 was going to address the problems of the preceding two sequels, which for fans and filmmakers alike set some exciting bells ringing. So swelled by that excitement, I donned a pair of the Palais' frankly ridiculous 3D glasses and settled in to watch a rum and gunpowder caper.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? A beautifully bold Smythson tote exclusive to Barneys? Don't mind if we do.
Made from the finest quality goatskin leather and crafted in structured silhouettes, the Smythson Cooper collection—including a tote in two sizes and a shoulder bag—is built to suit all seasons and settings. Tote a cheerful colorblock style during daytime strolls or stick to a more subtle tone-on-tone style for a chic after-dark look. Feel like some uptown polish? Prop it on your wrist for the utmost sophistication. Or if you prefer a more relaxed approach, snap up the tote or bag that slings around your shoulder. The spacious tote secures all your essentials while the downsized version (which retains the same clean design) offers something more compact. It's official: The Cooper has proved itself the bag of all bags.
After all, founded by Frank Smythson in 1887, the label known for its leather accessories, diaries and stationery has been at its craft for more than 100 years. (Its track record includes Grace Kelly's wedding diary, Princess Diana's correspondence stationery, John F. Kennedy's condolence book and Katherine Hepburn's diary.)
It's only natural then that the Cooper has an equally impressive story to boast. It is named after the British journalist and author Jilly Cooper, who was appointed the Order of the British Empire in 2004. Known mainly for her romantic fiction, Cooper typically sets her novels in rural England and tells tales of upperclass British families.
Well that explains why we imagine ourself toting this prim and proper purse to afternoon tea and, you know, all our other royal engagements.

McIlroy--HDIA - New Name, New Concerns
April 1998Most people think of preflight as a "solved" problem for the graphic arts, but it still generates a lot of conversation at a conference like this one. The view from the HDIA is that the industry has made Markzware's FLIGHTCHECK software the preflight standard. The loser to date is Extensis' Preflight Pro. Not one hand was raised when asked if the software is in use. I think that the discrepancy in usage has more to do with the familiar "first-to-market" software syndrome than Preflight Pro's limitations. Extensis has a major task ahead trying to dislodge the market leader.
When we asked attendees whether they were receiving more Windows files than a year ago, many hands were raised high. We didn't try to pin down numbers, but the impression received was that Microsoft is encroaching on Apple's stronghold far more effectively than most observers have guessed.
Expert Presentations
Significantly, one conference keynote address was from Gary Starkweather, now an employee of Microsoft. Starkweather is an industry legend, who holds more than 30 patents, and is credited as the inventor of the laser printer (while working at Xerox PARC).
He spent nearly a decade at Apple, but is now one of numerous high-level Apple employees who has been lured to Redmond, WA, where he holds the position of imaging architect for the Windows NT platform. Starkweather reviewed the numerous features of NT that promise to make it a strong contender for professional publishing in its 5.0 release.
PDF has been a hot button in the graphic arts for at least a year. Attendees seemed nearly unanimous in expressing interest and approval of the growth of PDF, and nearly as vocal in expressing frustrations at PDF's current limitations in a professional graphic arts workflow. Despite many problems, there was a clear consensus that PDF will be a major player in the years ahead.
One of the most intriguing presentations was made by Allen Witters, chief technology officer for WAM!NET. I'd been kind of ignoring WAM!NET—it's hard to get excited about a small networking company that can transmit big files. I was considerably underestimating the effort.
WAM!NET's objective is to become the central network for the world graphic arts industry. It is building an infrastructure that will be attractive to every player in the graphic arts to use at some point in the publishing process.
Publishers will maintain image databases on the network. WAM!NET is planning to enable distribute-then-print applications. Witters admitted that WAM!NET's goal is nothing less than collecting a small tariff on the entire data flow of the industry. With a recent $25 million equity investment from Worldcom/MCI, WAM!NET is poised to become a major player in our business.
The other shocker concerned QuarkXPress. I'd heard rumblings in the press and online from users angered by the high cost (roughly $300) of the 4.0 QuarkXPress upgrade. Compounded by Quark's notoriously poor customer service, anger is now bubbling to the surface.
Most attendees said they're receiving few 4.0 files, reflecting upgrade reluctance from customers. And the word we heard was that the 4.0 upgrade is anything but bug-free. Quark has got a real problem on its hands. With Adobe rumored to be ready to attack again with new "Quark-killer" software, this entrenched standard has a battle still to fight.
HDIA's annual conference was a fun and informative event. I'm looking forward to next year's program.

This may be an absurd comparison, but currently my top choices for a new range are either a 39" Lacanche Chagny or a 39" O'Keefe & Merritt double oven (preferably 6-burner, but it has been elusive). I currently have a 34.5" O'Keefe & Merritt with one oven and four burners. I have been fairly content with it, but for complex dinner party menus I have often wished for two ovens. Also the oven heat is uneven, noticeably hotter in the back. With patience I believe I could get the OK&M for under $2000, though not fully restored (the headquarters were here in Los Angeles and so they are all over the place still). I'm not a huge fan of midcentury design (and my house was built in 1901), but I find these ranges attractive, reliable, and quite serviceable. Obviously the Chagny would cost significantly more, requiring some sacrifice (happily undertaken, but worthy of consideration). I would be able to choose color and configuration, including the French top (though I've never used one, I thrive on learning new methods). I also like the idea of having both electric and gas ovens (experimental possibilities!). The look would be a little less era-specific, a plus in a home that came too late for Victorian and too early for Craftsman. So I'm wondering, would my cooking experience be so radically different on the Lacanche? Am I romanticizing the possible benefits simply because they are unknown to me? My current OK&M is a solid workhorse - I just don't know if I'm unaware of a whole different world of high-end power and finesse, of having tools and techniques at my disposal that would actually make a difference. If anyone has worked on two similar ranges, please let me know how you thought they compared, pros and cons. Paying more doesn't always get you as much more as it should, you know what I mean? Many thanks, Allison |

The only thing these two ranges have in common is that neither has lights in the oven. If you are serious about answering this question the way to do that is to call French Ranges and ask them to hook you up with someone in your area who has a range and will let you come over and see it or perhaps give it a test drive. It is a service they are able to provide because they make their purchases so personal. Additionally, there are epic archived Lacanche threads here and/or on the kitchen forum unless madness has prevailed (anything is possible here) and they were deleted. It should remain feasible to email actual owners on those threads to inquire about how they like their ranges etc. I did that with another appliance a few years ago and got a cordial and excellent response from multiple long-term owners. Emphasis on long-term. The trick is to enable your own email in your profile so owners respond easily, which should produce more answers. Overall, I can tell you from many years around here, that Lacanche owners tend to be the most satisfied of any owner with their ranges and I cannot even recall a serious complaint because the dealer fields issues and resolves them. One very good reason to go with Lacanche over a retro range is that the top can be customized to suit your cooking style. |

It sounds like your OK&M is much better than my 1956 GE electric range. Certainly there'd be a nice improvement in burner power with a Lacanche, among other benefits. I'm actually curious if you've come across any other 39-41" ranges? I'm looking for something to fit my space and right now Lacanche seems the most likely candidate both from a form and function standpoint. |
I have indeed contacted Victoria at Art Culinaire requesting a local viewing. Believe me, my heart is telling me I need the gorgeous bespoke machine :) But my head is insisting I focus on facts before giving in to the very effective marketing! Rococogurl, I like your advice about contacting owners from past threads. I've certainly read through them, but checking in for a recent report is a great idea. ChristyMcK, it is true that there aren't many American ranges that fall into that size (36 to 48 is a big jump!). On the European side I've come across ILVE, which has a 40" range in its Majestic series. It is also quite pretty, but the second oven is very small, only 10.25" wide. The CornuFe has two ovens, but is 43" wide. |

Yeah, and while I'd like a 36+" cooktop, an oven in a 36" range is definitely not what I'm looking for - it's way too big and would take too long to heat up. The current 21" oven on our range (along with the 13" wide 2nd oven) works quite nicely from a space perspective. Thanks for the link to the Ilve - I've never heard of them. Is there a reason you are not considering them? The CornuFe 90 looks like it has two ovens and is ~39" but I think I'm looking at the European website and that model may not be available in the US. With the space we have, I could do a 36" blue star cooktop with a 27" oven underneath and then put a 24" oven and 24" warming drawer in a wall. Miele is the only one I've found to sell a 27" oven and 24" warming drawer. This combination seems fussy too considering it's 4 appliances rather than two (a Lacanche Volnay + Combi Steam oven). |
I'm not totally discounting the ILVE, but I'm not as drawn to the design lines and colors. Nevertheless, I'm keeping an eye out in case a good deal shows up! If I had the room, I would be interested in adding a combi oven - there are a lot of great things you can do in that, including a sort of waterless sous vide. So if I were you, that's what I'd go for :) |
- Posted by ChristyMcK (My Page) on Tue, Feb 18, 14 at 17:23
After I reread your posted and looked at the Ilve I see how shallow the ovens are and that's not ideal. I think the Lacanche ranges now have oven lights. I love having two ovens. The Chagny looks like a good pick and a worthy splurge! |
I haven't cooked on either, but I prefer the solid good looks of the O'K&Ms. There are some kitchens where one will be more appropriate than the other, but I prefer a little less glamor in my appliances. Chrome is always welcome, though! I can't believe they are that expensive in your area! You can get restored ones for less than $2k in the bay area, and unrestored ones (bring your own truck and muscle) for next to nothing. (I chickened out on vintage ranges though--there's a lot to be said for going without a pilot light.) |
It may be that I'm looking for one of the rarer configurations - I don't want one of the two "ovens" to be a Grillovator, and I'd like 6 burners rather than 4 plus a griddle. Fully restored, re-porcelained, and re-chromed, those go for around $6000 at the vintage stove shops in LA. I guess there's enough demand? I've even heard that they sell to customers in Japan who use them as room decor. |

hi Achauer, There was a beauty of a restored OKM Aristocrat (6 burners & two ovens @ 60" wide) for sale a while back on one of the vintage stove sites for around $5k; we almost sprang for it but realized it doesn't fit in our available space. By the by, Rococo, all OKMs have oven lights, so perhaps that's even less they have in common with a Lacanche. :) I can say that we've used our self-restored 40" OKM for about 5 years now and still adore it every day. Pros ( for you) of an OKM: -- tI may be the same with converting the center griddle into two extra burners; I haven't seen but one 6-burner in all my OKM searches, but they must be out there. We actually appreciate the griddle as nice extra workspace rather than as a working griddle, but it works perfectly for that too. --There are many excellent repair and parts stores in CA that carry every conceivable OKM part you could need. (I envy this, as I have spent a fortune in shipping heavy parts to Maine.) -- You can get it tuned up by a qualified gas pro. I find they are often fascinated by the hands-on element of a vintage stove, but most importantly this might cure the issue you mention vis-a-vis the unevenness in your oven. Caveats (for you) of an OKM: -- No matter how finely you tune it, the top OKM burners are set at 12k btu. A modern gas range will have more satisfactory power if you do things like stir fry or boil water often. Given the enormous cost differential, only you can know which is more worth it. Best of luck deciding! |
Wait--the Grillevator isn't as fantabulous as the marketing suggests??? I'm stunned! :D |
Oh, I've seen those Aristocrat models - they are gorgeous! And you are absolutely right about all the vintage stove repair & restoration shops here: there are two within 5 miles of me, and at least two more within a 25 mile radius. The pilot lights on my current OK&M have never bothered me, in fact I've even made use of the slight warmth as a handy spot for fermentation. The lack of a truly high-powered burner has been an issue, however. When I do large batch canning and stock-making I spend an awful lot of time waiting around for a boil. I may have a line on the right model of O'Keefe locally - I'll check it out this weekend. I'm also going to be seeing a Lacanche in person. It should be an informative day! |
I know--pilot lights are perfectly sensible and were used for years without problems. They just make me nervous and I know it's irrational. :) Maybe canning would be made easier with an induction hotplate nearby to preheat the canners. So pilot lights make me nervous but slogging around huge vats of boiling water...no problem! Anyway, post pictures of the ones you look at so we can live vicariously. |

Fori, that's exactly our plan for the new kitchen: a separate induction burner for things like canning or boiling in a hurry. And au contraire, the Grillevator is a thing of continuing amazement! It's the center griddle on top that we rarely use, being neither pancake folks nor blessed with a horde of ravenous offspring. But the Grillevator, mmmm. Best thing on earth for making Korean barbeque, Thai peanut chicken skewers, or plain ol' steaks. Although I also enjoy the vintage frisson of making Rumaki in it for parties. ;-) |

OK. That's intriguing. I could almost be tempted by one of those if they were to be found in what's now standard sizes. I don't want to be like our OP here, stuck between a Lacanche and a relic! :) |

Well that O'Keefe & Merritt certainly looks in beautiful condition-the porcelain, handles, chrome, and cook top cover-all look great, built when design, function, durability, and style all mattered equally. I am intrigued by the rear burner grate design-does it function as a built-in simmer plate? Is that on your current range? This range deserves to carry on a useful life and you are its' most deserving and likely new owner, having seen it, having a suitable kitchen, knowing the product, and being someone who actually cooks and would use it fully. On "automaticwasher.org" there is a large vintage range fan base and they may offer you some useful opinions. The Lacanche also looks great, I was lusting after them two years ago, but the O'K&M is here now, and remember, NO gas range boils large quantities as fast as induction, or at least 240 volt induction. Good cooking on whichever range you decide. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 14:39
One comment about burners: the OK has individual, without a continuous grate. They are raised in the old style and even in new ranges I don't care for those separate raised burners as I feel they make maneuverability of pots much more difficult. Might not be a factor for you as you are accustomed. But with Lacanche, the continuous grate over the double burners front to back makes it so easy to slide pots across. I had a gas range in our apartment with continuous grates and would never buy another gas without them. |
"It is really sounding like I should look into picking up an induction hot plate to take care of my big liquid boiling tasks. Any particular brands/models/qualities to look for? This may or may not be a good solution for you. Depends on how big the "big liquid boiling tasks"" are and what your needs and expectations are. As venmarfan pointed out, induction's reputation for speedy boiling is with the larger hobs on 240v ranges and cooktops, not the 120v countertop units that come to mind when you talk about a countertop or induction hotplate. The higher powered hobs on Induction ranges and cooktops (and the commercial 240v countertop units) can output at least 2500 watts and many will go up to 3500 to 3700 watts. The most common North American 120v electrical outlets are for 15 amp circuits whose maximum capacity translates to 1800 watts. For that reason, the most powerful 120v countertop units top out at 1800 watts. Some brands only go to 1500 watts and some only to 1300 watts. For a frame of reference, that 120v countertop power is akin to what you get when using a small 6" coil burner (1500 to 1800 watts) on an electric range. Pretty speedy for, say, a 4 quart saucepan (where the burner heats the entire base and the volume of water is not large. Not so much with a 20 qt. stockpot/kettle where the induction hob is heating only the middle of the base and there is a much larger volume of liquid. The countertop 120v units certainly will boil a big canning kettle but will just take their time doing so. Might not be significantly faster than the gas burners on your current M&O'K range's 12,000 btu burners. There have been numbers of threads here and at chowhound discussing countertop induction units, if you want to search further. I've seen discussions of them in brewing and canning forums, too, where folks get the portable units for the convenience and controllabilty of induction, not its speed. One of the most commonly suggested brands is the 1800 watt Max Burton 6200 (a/k/a "Athena 6200") model which is priced as low as $70 (if you are comfortable with eBay bidding) but usually run between $100 and $120 from regular retailers. There are a number of threads here where several of us have discussed the pros, cons, tips and tricks us of this model. IIRC, there is a longer thread at chowhound which expanded greatly from an initial post about trying unsuccessfuuly to use a MB 6200 for sous vide type cooking. (If interested, try "Chowhound + Max Burton" and "gardenweb + Max Burton" as search strings for the MB specifically; "chowhound + portable induction" and "gardenweb + portable induction" for more general discussions.) If you want speedy boiling from a portable induction unit, and your kitchen has a spare 240v outlet, you may want to look into small countertop induction inserts or the portable commercial countertop units. A few years ago (2007 and 2008 IIRC) there were some discussions here of the Cooktek 2500w and 3500w units. I think Vollrath has several as well. (Check webstaurant.com and katom.com) These are much pricier but will give you very speedy boiling of large kettles if that is what you are looking for.. |

This is tangential to your question, but possibly helpful. I've had several ranges through the years, but for large-scale boiling, I always pull out my Broil King hot plates, plug 'em in, and boil to my heart's desire. The hotplates work as well or better than any surface eye or flame I've ever used, and they're easy to store. For canning, I fire up the outdoor, propane-fueled, gazillion btu "patio stove". The patio stove exceeds any interior home range on the market. For people who are serious about canning and have the space, I recommend a high btu outdoor unit every time. It's hotter than hot, but it keeps the heat out of the kitchen--and canning is the hottest thing you can do, always on a hot summer day. |
The low BTUs are the one and only thing that has kept me away from O'Keefe and Merrit through the years. I've inquired around about the feasibility of replacing one or two surface burners with modern ones, but replies have generally been non-committal. No one has ever said outright that it cannot be done, but no one has said they would do it, either. Interestingly, the Grillovator is very popular with O&M owners. I have spoken to several people who claim the broiling technology of O&M and Western Holly far exceeds that of modern units. I cannot personally vouch for that. Also, properly restored units apparently have very good ovens. But then we get to those surface flames!! And then those grates!! It's very frustrating to want something that is just slightly not what I need. |

Mikael, Interesting thoughts. I would imagine that a HVAC professional who's a good tinkerer could fix you up with stronger burner outlets in a vintage range, but then you'd have to figure out how to increase the capacity of the valves themselves, wouldn't you? I'm certainly no expert, but dimes to donuts some geeky gas tech guy who lives in his mom's basement could outfit you in a jiffy. ;-). But aren't gas stoves (like the OKM) UL listed for the btus they're designed with? The efficacy of doing such a modification probably depends on how severe the building code/inspectors are in your area. If by surface flames you mean the burner pilot light (it's one for all 4 burners), it is well covered and not exposed. Our OKM pilot does make a slight warm spot under the griddle where it sits, but I rather like that feature for tasks like melting butter. But maybe you mean unsealed burners? I will share that I used a friend's full-grated Wolf gas stove while on a visit a while back, and those honking big grates actually rather annoyed me. I wanted to put things down -- stirring spoons, mise bowls, etc -- in the center between the burners, but couldn't do so because of the full grate. So I suspect that's all a matter of habit, like many of these issues. If you've never slid pots back and forth without lifting them slightly, you won't miss not being able to. Question: what's a "patio stove"? Up here in Maine, anything like that would be covered in 5 feet of snow half the year. :) |
Circuspeanut, I just sent you an email, and here you've already responded on the site! Thank you for noticing my comment. I guess the inspection issue is what worries me most--not just satisfying them or staying within the parameters of my insurance policy, but also keeping the range nice and safe. Probably, it's the safety issue that has kept people from unequivocally answering my question. I use an igniter for flames rather than a pilot light, so that's not a problem. Atlanta, Georgia, is a hot place, and even the faint warmth of a pilot light is very much noticed, but it's easily avoided. I also don't mind having unsealed burners, so that is not a problem. My real problem is with those low BTUs, and my secondary concern is those old-style grates. I agree, though, that some of those modern ranges are actually "too hot" for the home cook. A "patio stove" is one of those things that most people use for deep-frying a turkey. But there are models designed for a wider range of cooking, and they are commonly used here for everything from low-country boils to giant pots of birria. They're great for any large party, they're heaven-sent for summer cooking, and they're a dream come true for canning. |

I am helping my mom update her electric coil cooktop to an induction cooktop. We do marathon canning sessions in the summer and I think she's going to get an outdoor stove. We are looking at a Camp Chef stove which is propane driven and has two 60k BTU burners. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009N0PIA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=15V8Q66L1L38V&coliid=I35Q2DXKAD2DNG&psc=1 |
Those outdoor stoves look like a great idea! And a single burner like the Bayou Classic SP10 is compact and can be found for under $50. I am definitely thinking about having something along these lines on hand for those occasional giant pots of liquid. Thanks for the suggestion!! |
achauer, I am having a similar struggle with an OKM 6 burner double oven and a Capital Culinarian 36". Circus or other OKM owners...can you measure the interior dimensions of the regular oven. I know it will fit 1/2 sheet pans, but I am wondering how large of a roasting pan it will take. This is my beloved roasting workhouse and want to make sure it fits http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP117-16BR-MultiClad-Stainless-Rectangular/dp/B0041Q409G/ref=pd_sbs_k_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=11GFG7S3QE9NNJMPM2ZK I am thinking I could compromise and get the OKM stove and a hidden 220 outlet to plug in a induction hob if I ever need it....but am a bit worried about roasting bigger turkeys. And Circus...how does your OKM do with stirfries? I'm not a superchef...and I don't mind stirfries on my regular gas stove. Wondering if the OKM is up to the task (since that's one thing induction won't really work on). Thanks so much!!!! |

Achauer, I've got to know--what did you choose?! I am having an identical dilemma now between the Lacanche Cluny and a 1953 Wedgewood 6 burner double oven...saw both in person...a little worried that the Lacanche is all looks no substance, a little worried about going vintage. Would love to hear how you came out on the decision and if you are happy with your choice. |
- Posted by ChristyMcK (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 14 at 23:49
Peite, Achauer went with a beautiful delft blue Cluny. Check out Lacanche 44 thread. |
I did indeed! And I am about a week away from cabinet installation, which will be followed by range installation :) Getting the chance to cook a many-course meal on a Lacanche Volnay acquainted me with the substance and joy of use. The continuous grates are a lot better than the separate ones found on an OK&M. I also liked the varied burner powers. In the end, I realized that my heart was with the solid, beautiful, adaptable Lacanche and if I didn't get one now, I'd only be thinking about the time when I eventually would. |

Navi, I went and measured my OKM oven before realizing that your message is three months old, so you've probably gotten the answer by now. Having gone to the (admittedly minimal) effort, however, I thought I'd follow up in case you do still need it. The width of the oven between the pegs that the racks slide along is 15", so you're OK there. Unfortunately, from the back wall to the inside of the closed door is only 19.5". And no, I didn't crawl in and close the door--I set a cutting board on the rack so it stuck out and then slid it inward with the closing oven door, then measured from the back of the oven to the front of the cutting board. Separately, we've had our red OKM for all of a week now and we're completely charmed. |

None of the pumps in this test came with the necessary fittings and hose to connect them to a water tank. You have to buy those separately. The supplier should be able to recommend the right fittings. You'll need a weatherproof power point for the pump. If there's none close to its location, have one installed by an electrician. Don't connect the pump via an extension cord to an indoor power point, as this might not be weatherproof and could be unsafe. All the pumps in this test are easy to install. For the external pumps, you just connect the pump inlet to the rainwater tank using a short piece of kink-resistant hose, secured with two hose clamps. The distance between tank and pump should be as short as possible. Next, prime the pump with water, plug the pump into the power and switch it on. Then connect a hose to the outlet and you're ready to start watering. For the submersible pumps, connect the outlet to your garden hose, then lower the pump into the tank (the Onga Dominator came with a length of rope for this purpose) and plug it into the power supply. Don't use the power cord to lower or raise the pump. Ideally, you should put a housing or cover over an external pump to protect it from the weather and muffle its noise. Most of the pumps in this test are about as noisy as a loud vacuum cleaner, and some have a high-pitched whirr that could be annoying.

Sample Endorsement from Priests
I'd like to take a moment to encourage the men of our parish to consider joining the Knights of Columbus. Membership in this fraternal organization will give you the opportunity to give back to your community, exclusive access to a top-rated insurance program to protect your family, and the ability to grow in your faith. These are just some of the reasons to become a Knight of Columbus.
The Knights of Columbus is the main source of volunteers for our parish and you have probably seen many of them at our activities. I believe that each man in this parish can benefit from membership in this fine group.
Following Mass there will be members of ________________ Council at the church exits. Please take the time to speak with them, learn more about this wonderful organization and become a member.
God Bless.

Edmund Teske American, Hollywood, California, negative 1945, print 1960s Duotone solarized gelatin silver print 13 7/8 x 9 7/8 in. 93.XM.5.10
Edmund Teske was introduced to Olive Hill, Aline Barnsdall's estate in the center of Hollywood, shortly after he moved to Los Angeles. His attraction to the trees on the estate grew out of his reverence for nature. The reversed tones and varied colors of brown and dark red were achieved by twice exposing the printing paper to light: first while under the negative (made twenty years earlier) in the enlarger and a second time while the print was wet with the developing chemicals. At the second stage of development, the print reacted to the light and changed color from gray to russet, brown, and reddish brown in a process Teske called duotone solarization. His manipulation of the tones produced a sense of mystery and foreboding in the landscape.

How do you clean your wood floors? I have bruce hardwood floors that were already stained. I have had them in for years. I have always cleaned them with Bruce hardwood floor cleaner but is that the best thing to clean them with? Last night after doing my floors I went over a spot with a damp paper towel and the floor was still dirty. Yes, I haven't done my floor in a long time and they were dirty! ugh
Thank you |

When we moved into our first Texas house, the hardwood floors were incredibly dirty. I washed them with Murphy's Oil Soap twice (I don't approve of water on wood, but these floors were DIRTY) and wiped up the excess moisture, getting the floors as dry as I could. Then after letting them air-dry for a day, I used Johnson's No-Buff floor wax, and after that, just made sure they were dusted and waxed regularly. |

I use Bona hardwood floor cleaner and either a blue microfiber cloth that velcros to a swiffer-type broom that came with my initial bottle of cleaner, or a microfiber towel that leaves the floor spotless and streak-free when used with a spray bottle of hardwood cleaner. I have always heard thay you should NEVER use Murphy's Oil Soap on a hardwood floor. The following is just one link to a warning against Murphy's. http://www.cinhome.com/murphys.html |
I, too have heard that you should never use Murphy's Oil Soap on a hardwood floor. I checked with Mannington, the manufacturer of our wood flooring, and they reaffirmed that, and recommended the Bona cleaner for hardwoods, used with a microfiber cloth mop. This is what I've used on our ten year old wood flooring, and it still looks like new. |
I just switched to the Bona hardwood floor cleaner on my prefinished Bruce engineered floors. I had been using the Bruce spray cleaner (recommended, of course, by Bruce), however, I found that it tended to build up and the floor felt tacky and footprints showed very easily. The Bona definitely works better as it cut some of the tackiness. I'm hoping with time it will eliminate the buildup altogether. |

I've noticed the streaking on the floor when using Murphy's Oil Soap.....this is regardless of how little I use. The last time I only used 1 capful? Has anyone ever tried Castile Soap to clean hardwood? Such as Dr. Bronner's.....I've used it to cut hairspray buildup on vinyl flooring when nothing else worked (but I haven't tried it on hardwood). It's very gentle and natural. OR, can you use just plain water to get rid of the haze left by Murphy's? |
I sweep my hardwood floors frequently, daily. Every few months, I apply Bona cleaner and finisher to keep them clean and shiny. As needed, say if I notice a pet mess (yuck) I'll clean with water on a paper towel. |

Replacement Coverage (vs. Actual Cash Value)
Insurance companies provide coverage for your property either through "replacement coverage" or "actual cash value coverage." Here's how they work:
Let's say your 10-year-old bed is destroyed in a fire and it's going to cost $1,500 to replace it.
If you have "replacement cost insurance" your insurance company will pay to replace your bed with a new bed of the same quality as the one you lost (less your $250 deductible).
But, if you have "actual cash value insurance" the company will pay what your 10-year-old bed would be worth today (minus your deductible). So, if it would be worth $500, you'd only have $250 to go toward a new bed after your $250 deductible.
While it's more expensive, replacement value insurance will offer you the best coverage.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
The Band: A Musical History is the definitive collection. 5 CD's, a DVD, 111 tracks, 37 of which are previously unreleased that include demo's, Alternate takes and performances. Comes packaged in a unique coffee table book. Capitol. 2005.
Album Reviews:
Rolling Stone (No. 984, p.158) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...The group's devotees will find much to enjoy on this set, and their pleasures won't be limited to the thirty-seven previously unreleased tracks and film clips...."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.124) - 4 stars out of 5 - "A lot of great music...CD1 is the most remarkable: 25 songs plotting their transformation from Nuggetsy rock, via R&B, Dylan's band, folk rock and gospel, to that unmistakable Band sound."
Album Notes
The Band: Rick Danko (vocals, guitar, bass guitar); Robbie Robertson (vocals, guitar); Levon Helm (vocals, mandolin, drums); Richard Manuel (vocals, piano, drums); Garth Hudson (accordion, saxophone, bugle, organ, keyboards, synthesizer).
Additional personnel: Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan (vocals, guitar); Mavis Staples, Roebuck "Pops" Staples, Ronnie Hawkins, Van Morrison (vocals); Roy Buchanan (guitar); Mickey Jones (drums); Dionne Warwick (background vocals).
Liner Note Author: Rob Bowman.
This stunning six-disc box set, A MUSICAL HISTORY, traces the evolution of the Band, one of the most towering and influential groups of the late 1960s and early '70s. In the minds of many, the Band came to define the sound of roots-oriented "Americana" rock (though most of its members were, ironically, Canadian). This lovingly assembled collection follows the development of that sound, from their inception as Ronnie Hawkins backing band the Hawks and their tenure with Bob Dylan, through their peak years as the Band, and on to their swan song in 1976, THE LAST WALTZ.
What makes this set more essential than any prior compilation is not only its obsessive attention to the timeline (the chronological sequencing really does play, as the title states, like a musical history), but the abundance of new material (32 of the 102 cuts here were unreleased). Live versions, covers, alternate takes, rarities, and well-known songs--not to mention a bonus DVD packed with live-performance footage--work together to give a complete picture of this unique ensemble, making A MUSICAL HISTORY the final and definitive word on the Band.

Is Tom Coughlin Hall of Fame worthy?
The texts always come back quicker when things are toughest. The messages are unfailingly positive.
It was dark after the New York Giants lost to the Washington Redskins in Week 15. The score was lopsided, and these were the Redskins, losers of eight of their previous nine games. Compounding matters was that with the loss, the Giants gave up first place in the NFC East to the Dallas Cowboys. The fickle New York fans were howling. Surely the head coach must go.
"Hang in there," Tim Coughlin texted his father. Tom Coughlin's oldest son, the second-oldest of Tom and Judy's four kids, had not seen his father after the game. He certainly wasn't going to call.
The reply was short and almost immediate: "We will be fine."

As I fly high into the sky,
I think to myself, what's
the real world like?
Then I find myself falling,
and I hit the ground.
I cannot move, though I try,
shall not yell, for I am not able,
but lie where I am, not moving.
I think to myself, these will
be my last moments to live,
last few times to breathe
and taste the fear and love in life,
so I whisper my few last words
into the wind, hoping they will reach
the ear of someone willing,
then I rest my head and wait.
I open my eyes to see a figure
coming towards me, and I am glad.
I hear think to hear him say,
" you will be okay," yet nothing is
to be heard.
Then he picks me up to take me away,
so that I may get some help.
But, as we reach our destination,
I am forever gone.

Part of the fun of playing great golf courses is seeing how they measure up. Who doesn't enjoy saying they once played the top-ranked course in the state? How much fun is it to tell friends your next golf trip will feature three courses in the top 10?
Last week, Golf Magazine published its biennial "Top 100 courses you can play" in the U.S., as well as offshoot lists for every state. Florida's got so many great tracks that the panelists offered a top 30.
So, what do you think of the list? Tough to argue the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass for the top spot, though the isolated splendor of World Woods' Pine Barrens course (No. 2), the views of the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach (No. 4) and the pure shotmaking demands of Innisbrook's Copperhead (No. 5) are among the other worthy candidates.
One interesting part of the top 30 is that there are four "pairs" of courses under one property. TPC Sawgrass has the Stadium and Dye's Valley (No. 26), nearby Hammock Beach has the Ocean and Tom Watson's Conservatory (No. 18).
In Orlando, Reunion Resort has a pair on the list, the Watson-designed Independence course (No. 8) and Arnold Palmer's Legacy (No. 28). World Woods' two great tracks are both in the top 10, with Rolling Oaks checking it at No. 9.
There are no new courses on the list, though that could change with the next list in 2014 once Streamsong Resort opens near Fort Meade.
Share your thoughts about the list on our Facebook page, and let the debate begin.
