Parents: Probiotics Help Fight the Common ColdA new study found that young children taking a supplement containing healthy bacteria (probiotics) and fibers that support their growth (prebiotics) got sick less often
There may not be a cure for the common cold, but fortunately there are steps you can take to prevent it, such as hand-washing and getting enough sleep and exercise. And now it appears we can add taking a probiotic supplement to this list. A new study, published in Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, found that young children taking a supplement containing strains of healthy bacteria (probiotics) and fibers that support their growth (prebiotics) got sick less often than children who were not taking the supplement.
Pro- and prebiotics can keep kids wellThe 135 children, ages 3 to 7 years old, had all been sick at least three times the previous winter with either respiratory or gastrointestinal infections. They were given a combination probiotic-prebiotic supplement or placebo once daily for three months in the winter. The supplement contained 3 billion colony-forming units of a combination of
None of the children taking the supplement experienced negative side effects. Reaching beyond the gut"This study suggests that a three-month supplementation with this [probiotic and prebiotic] preparation can decrease the risk of occurrence of common infectious diseases in children and limits the risk of school day loss," the study's authors said. The findings support the notion that promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria has beneficial effects beyond the gastrointestinal tract. "It is likely that probiotics are effective because they exert their effects on numerous cell types involved in the innate and adaptive immune responses," the researchers speculated.

Recently we made a list of the top five most important allergy relief products, allergy control sprays topped the list. This is because they are not expensive, are easy to use, and are very effective. If you missed it you can find our Top 5 Allergy Control Products here. There are two different types of sprays. The first type is tannic acid-based. Tannic acid is found in the bark of trees, the leaves of tea, and the peels of grapes. It is a very powerful denaturing agent. This means it has the ability to neutralize proteins. Since all allergens are proteins, denaturing is an effective way to render an allergen inactive.
When you denature a protein, you change the three dimensional structure of the protein. It is similar to unfolding a towel and refolding it in another manner. It is still a towel, just folded differently. However, the difference is enough to keep the immune system from identifying the protein as an allergen. Since the protein is not identified as an allergen, the allergic reaction is completely avoided. Not only is tannic acid a powerful denaturing agent, but it has a lasting residual effect. This means that tannic acid-based products need only be applied every 90 days or so.
Sprays can be applied to any fiber surface. All you need to do is vacuum first to remove any loose soil and then apply a light spray. In addition to a spray, Alkaline Labs also makes a tannic acid-based powder for use on carpets known as X-Mite Powder. This moist powder can be swept into carpets to denature the fibers not only on the top of the carpet, but also down by the pad. The only downside to using tannic acid-based products is that tannic acid can stain or off-color light colored fabrics and materials. You must always first test in an inconspicuous place to make sure that there is no discoloration or staining. Another type of allergy control spray does not depend on tannic acid as the active ingredient. These sprays use a combination of other acids, alkalis, and enzymes to neutralize proteins. They denature in much the same way as tannic acid. However, because tannic acid is not present you do not run the risk of staining or discoloration. These denaturing agents do not have the powerful residual effect that you find with tannic acid-based products. They need to be applied about once a month. However because they will not stain they can be applied to a greater variety of surfaces. Whether you use a tannic acid-based spray or one of the other allergy control sprays it is important to apply it properly. First, thoroughly vacuum the surfaces to be treated. This will remove any loose soil or allergen particles. Next, lightly spray all surfaces of the object that is being treated. Have your spray nozzle set to the "mist" setting and not the "stream" setting. Move your arm back and forth, as you spray the mist from about 8 inches from the object bring treated. It is not necessary to saturate the material being treated. A light mist is sufficient for most fabrics. If you are applying the spray to a hard surface, such as walls, do not spray directly on the hard surface. Apply to a rag and then wipe the wall. Many of our customers have found a Swiffer works well for applying it to the walls. Remember, when treating to remove animal allergen it is important to clean the walls as well as the floors and furniture. In addition to walls and floors, allergy control sprays are great to use on decorative pillows, upholstered headboards and footboards, draperies, comforters, rugs, low pile carpets, and upholstered couches, chairs, and benches. When properly used on a regular basis, allergy control sprays are an important weapon in your allergy relief arsenal.

The 10 Best Movies of 2014 (So Far)
Here are the best movies of 2014 so far! (Note: These movies have all been released in theaters and I am not including movies that I saw at film festivals that have not been yet released to the public.)
Here are the best movies of 2014 so far! (Note: These movies have all been released in theaters and I am not including movies that I saw at film festivals that have not been yet released to the public.)
It turns out that 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' didn't need the Sinister Six to bring it down. All that was required was Seth Rogen, Zac Efron and a very funny marketing campaign. 'Neighbors' not only opened at number one at the box office, it derailed its super-powered competition so dramatically that it may be difficult for it to fully recover.
It's hell getting old. You're overworked, underpaid, get grey hairs, everything hurts, there's barely time for sex, you fall asleep on the couch watching 'Game of Thrones' and, unless you're George Clooney, you're just not cool anymore. You either hike up your pants and accept it, or you wage all out war. It's the latter that highlights the uproarious Seth Rogen and Zac Efron comedy 'Neighbors,' which just might be the funniest American movie since ... well, since Seth Rogen's last movie.
Whenever a big movie comes out, the stars make the press rounds, appear on talk shows and generally do everything in their power make sure you know the name of their film and the day it is hitting theaters. Although this often involves hearing the same canned answers time and time again, it sometimes means you get to see some of your favorite actors pop up in unexpected places. In this case, 'Neighbors' stars Seth Rogen and Zac Efron teamed up with the cast of 'Workaholics,' delivering more of the hit Comedy Central show and giving them a chance to plug their upcoming movie.
Last week's 'SNL' installment significantly raised the bar for the 2014 season with the hosting debut of 'Pitch Perfect' player Anna Kendrick, but can 'Neighbors' star Seth Rogen keep the same standard of quality with his third hosting turn, alongside musical guest Ed Sheeran? Find out in the first 'SNL' promos for this Saturday's latest, alongside first-time promo maker Aidy Bryant!
If Zac Efron can take a shot to the jaw with dignity (too soon?), he can certainly handle anything Seth Rogen has to throw at him. The two star in the upcoming comedy 'Neighbors,' the trailer for which features the two in a heated showdown as a family man and a douchey frat guy trying to boot the other off their residential block.

ST. MARYS - The Brookville Lady Raiders went home Monday afternoon with a 4-0 victory over the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders in girls' varsity soccer. Â Â Â The Lady Raiders scored first just five and one half minutes into the contest, when junior Ashley Wolfe placed a shot into the net. Â Â Â Brookville went up 2-0 with 16:34 left in the first half when junior Annie Amsler tallied. Amsler would score again with only 46 seconds left in the game. Sophomore Michelle Crissman had put the Lady Raiders up 3-0 just under 10 minutes after intermission.
At Monday's meeting of the St. Marys Area School Board, principals from the area's elementary, middle, and high schools declared the 2011- 2012 school year off to a good start. Christine Kuhar, principal at Bennetts Valley and Fox Township Elementary schools, said the numbers are holding steady, with 123 students at Bennetts Valley and 209 students at Fox Township. Robert Grumley, principal of South St. Marys Street Elementary School, said the school has 99 new kindergarten students and 27 new students and transfers.
Community members gathered on Sunday evening inside the First United Methodist Church hall in St. Marys for the "Community 9-11 Memorial Service." The event was hosted by the St. Marys Area Ministerial Association to commemorate the 10th anniversary of September 11. The service began at 6 p.m. with an introduction and opening prayer by Chris Kindle, pastor of the First United Methodist Church, followed by the singing of the national anthem by Alexis Cunningham. Each attendee received a small booklet entitled, "Never Forget Hope."

In speaking with area residents about the impact Sept. 11, 2001 had on their personal lives, outlooks, and relationships, it became evident that the events of that day have not faded from memory and still continue to exert a dramatic influence on the American consciousness.
Recently a group of 30 motorcycle enthusiasts from throughout the area embarked on America's 9/11 Ride, a project organized by America's 911 Foundation, Inc., which visited each of the crash sites in Pennsylvania, Virginia and New York City as part of a 1,000-mile journey. Julie and Jeff Smith of St. Marys acted as the local location hosts, having traveled with the memorial ride in 2008. Jeff has been a member of the Crystal Fire Department since 1980, having served as a firefighter, driver, EMT and chairman of the board.
Elk County Catholic won the Elk County Soccer Tournament with a 3-0 win over St. Marys in the championship game Saturday afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School. "I think we came out strong," Elk County Catholic coach Adam Bailey said. "We seemed to be direct and straight to where we needed to be early on. But the game shows we still have lots of things to do. I'm happy for St. Marys, we play them every year, it's always a strong game to play St. Marys. You cannot take them lightly. We were fortunate this year, in other years, we haven't been."
The Ridgway Lady Elkers captured the 2011 Elk County Volleyball Tournament Saturday afternoon at the Elk County Catholic High School gymnasium. The Lady Elkers won the 15th annual event by defeating the ECCHS Lady Crusaders two games to one in the best-of-three finals. In the consolation game, the Johnsonburg Ramettes took third place by defeating the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch 30-24. In pool play, Elk Catholic finished the morning play with a 5-1 record. Ridgway was 4-2, while the Ramettes were 3-3 and the Lady Dutch 0-6.
SIDMAN – The St. Marys Area High School cross country teams competed in the Forest Kills 5k Invitational on Saturday in Sidman, with the girls' squad finishing seventh out of 18 and the boys placing 10th out of 21. "On a very wet day and muddy course, the cross country teams performed well in Sidman," said St. Marys Area coach Stan Foster.

Weight gain and all that goes with it—sluggishness, too-tight clothes, and frustration—may be sneaking up on you in ways it never did for your Grandma Mary or your Great-Uncle Gene.
So says Jerry Sabo, certified nutritionist for Methodist Hospitals in Northwest Indiana, where he works in cardiac rehabilitation services. In this revealing Q & A he unwraps some nuggets of information about how food is served, and how to foil trends that can sabotage your weight-loss efforts.
Portion sizes have changed over the years. In 1954 a Burger King french fry order was 2.6 ounces; that has doubled, and a jumbo fry is 6.9 ounces. A standard McDonald's burger in 1955 was 1.6 ounces, about 333 calories. Now it's 3.2; other burgers are 8 ounces, even bigger. It's almost a joke how they treat nutrition and how the food is marketed: "We've got the biggest burger." The standard burger now is about 590 calories. A good source for information is fastfoodnutrition.org.
A standard Burger King soda in 1954 was 12 ounces; now we have 32-ounce sodas and more. People may not think about the calories they drink: 22 percent of all calories now come from beverages.
Actually, the biggest thing typically missing is fiber—whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, whole cereals. McDonald's does have yogurt with granola, but you don't typically see an Olive Garden with whole-grain pasta or pizza.
Your height, your gender—you need to adjust calories for that; a nutritionist or dietician can help you understand how many calories you need. Visit mypyramid.gov to see your portion sizes for height and weight. Keep a food diary to see how much you really eat.
Aim for smaller portions—3 or 4 ounces of meat in a meal twice a day, not all three meals. Eating bacon, eggs and sausage five or more times a week, that's totally inappropriate. A majority of the heart patients I see, their standard breakfast has no fiber, yet generally we need at least three whole-grain servings every day. I like a whole-grain cereal such as Cheerios, with plant protein, not meat protein.
Like nuts or seeds. Sprinkle almonds, walnuts, or pecans on top of cereal. If you have nut allergies, most people can tolerate seeds—flax seeds or sunflower seeds. And you need good teeth: people with poor teeth or with dentures that don't fit properly find fiber hard to eat. So because it hurts, they eat calorie-laden white bread or potatoes without the fiber. And with no fiber to fill you up, you eat more. That's why you can eat a monster burger with bacon and cheese—there's no fiber.
A lot of people eat in 20 minutes or less. In that amount of time you don't feel full, so you keep cramming things down. And we think somehow we have to finish that plate; we don't even feel full until the plate is empty. You can eat less without even changing anything except using smaller plates.
I take a container and put half the food in it to take home.
You can lose weight just by changing your environment. [In a recent study] keeping a chocolate bar in a desk drawer instead of on the desktop led to a 40 percent reduction of candy that was eaten. Keep the candy wrapper in front of you—don't throw it away, so you can see how many you're really eating. Juices—I don't drink the pure form of cranberry juice, because there are still calories in juice. You can make your own sauces to avoid the added sugars [that come in bottled sauces]. Never eat snacks out of the bag. You can also find good information at foodfacts.com, and nutritiondata.com.
This is my passion. I was a chef for ten years in Chicago restaurants. I saw how people ate and the effect it had on them. Over time, I knew of customers who died, and that made me become a dietician.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is SMOKEY!
Facts about SMOKEY
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
SMOKEY's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Hi my name is Smokey! I am a 6 week old male GSD mix. HNH rescued me from a High Kill Shelter on my last day. I love cuddeling and playing with my foster sister. I am not ready for adoption yet but will be after Thanksgiving. I will be on the smaller side they say as my paws are not that big. Smokey will be neutered and micro-chipped prior to adoption. We recommend that adopters enroll in puppy training classes so that the pup becomes the adult dog you want. Contact Lorna at firstname.lastname@example.com for an application. Adoption/Donation fee and home inspection required.
Other Pets at Hope n' Heroes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
SMOKEY, a Torrance German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever for sale in Torrance, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Torrance.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Torrance already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Torrance breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Torrance paves the way for another one to be saved.

Operating profit also grew 0.4% or $3.1 million to $704.5 million from $701.4 million a year ago, driven by a 0.2% or $1.1 million fall in selling, general and administrative expenses to $678.9 million during the quarter.

During the first nine months of 2012, Genuine Parts' net cash flow from operations improved significantly by 53.8% to $764.8 million from $497.4 million in the prior-year quarter, due to higher profits and favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Joakim Noah will be out for a week, resting injured groin
BY JOE COWLEY Staff Reporter October 18, 2013 11:28PM
Joakim Noah
Updated: November 20, 2013 6:17AM
Playing villain comes easy for Joakim Noah.
So the idea of being in Miami to tip-off the season and play spoiler the same night the Heat is handed its rings is too good to pass up for the Bulls' All-Star center.
Noah now might have little say in the matter.
Slowed by a groin strain that has kept him out of all but one preseason game, Noah will be shut down for the next week, putting his availability for the Oct. 29 regular-season opener in jeopardy.
"We're going to shut Jo down,'' coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday before the Bulls beat the Indiana Pacers 103-98 in a preseason game at the United Center. "He's got a little soreness, so we want to make sure we get that taken care of, so probably another week or so. We just want to make sure he's completely healthy before we move forward.
"It's better, but it's not where we would like it to be. Like we want [Noah's groin] completely healthy where he doesn't feel it, and right now he's feeling it, so we have to take care of that.''
Just don't let Noah know he could miss the opener against the Heat.
"We have a great opportunity in front of us,'' Noah said. "Of course, I would rather be playing, but I've got to do the right thing and this is the right thing to do. Just move forward.
"Just have to let it heal and I'll be back in no time.''
Asked if there would be enough time for him to recover and make sure his conditioning was game-ready in time for the opener, Noah had a one-word reply.
"Yep,'' he said.
Considering Noah was ruled out when the playoff series with the Brooklyn Nets began last season (plantar fasciitis), only to surprise everyone and play, he's not the easiest player to count out.
Noah's injury could influence the 13th roster spot. Guard Mike James seemed to have a slight lead, but center Dexter Pittman might be the choice with Noah iffy for the start of the season.
"I don't want to get ahead of myself, but it could,'' Thibodeau said, when asked if Noah's injury could influence roster decisions. "We're looking at what our needs are, and as I said, the one good thing is Jo has only played 19 minutes in the preseason. It has given us a look at Nazr [Mohammed], Taj [Gibson], Murph [Erik Murphy], and we also know that we have Luol [Deng] who can go to the four, Jimmy [Butler] who can go to the four, we have Mike Dunleavy who can go to the four. And that's what I like about this team, the versatility. We're still evaluating, and in the end we'll do what's best for the team.''

Furious 6 (2013)
0 wallpapers
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete. Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Directed by: Justin LinStarring: Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez

Technology Spotlight: Handheld Apps
2010 NAB Show Review
Smartphones are everywhere, and the number of apps available for them continues to skyrocket. Professional apps for radio are no exception.
Once the iPhone was released, there were apps to turn it into a portable recorder. The same is true for the Droid now as well. With Web browsing capability in the phones and Web access on much broadcast equipment, basic control is easily possible.
But specific apps for broadcast equipment access made their debut this year. Two significant areas stood out: codecs and automation.
On the automation side, Enco showed iDAD and RCS showed iPush. Both allow iPhone users to deliver material directly into those companies' content systems. It's an idea that may be ahead of its time for some, but it provides yet another bridge into the station audio system.
Along the same lines, the codec manufacturers are providing remote access capability. Tieline showed the Report-IT Live for iPhone and Comrex debuted the ARC for Droid. Both allow users to connect to the companies' IP codecs to contribute material for use on-air.

Hi everyone - we have been working on our kitchen design for a long time now and I have learned a TON from this forum! We have made a big decision to tear down a wall between the existing kitchen and dining room and expand the kitchen significantly. The old living room will become the dining room and we just lose a formal living room space that was never used anyway.
I am working with a KD on the best layout for the space and the latest design is here. I am looking for feedback on the general layout - especially the angled peninsula and open space near the sliding door. Please note on the wall directly across from the fridge, we are opening it to have second access point to the stairs, thus no cabinets on that wall. |

view from sliding doors note - the wall on the right in this picture is where we plan to open up a second entry to the upstairs. It will be on the far right side of that wall. |
- Posted by spartans99 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 15:16
I'm not crazy about the angled peninsula. It leaves a lot of dead space in front of the slider - or do you have some other planned use of that space? If you want an eat-in area, it seems like it would make more sense to take out the peninsula and put a table at the end down by the slider. Take out that bank of cabinets on the wall at that end to give you more circulation space around a table. You could make up for them with cabinets on the wall where the peninsula is now. |
I'd lose the peninsula too. Turn the island 90 degrees and add perhaps 18 inches to it and move it down a little toward the slider. Then you could have a prep sink on the island. Have straight counter under that window with an upper cabinet to match the cabinet next to the fridge. Then you could have eat-in table in front of the slider. |
Which direction does the slider move? If it is from right side to left side (interior view), then you might be able to push the cabinets farther along that wall, then turn the table/penninsula at a right angle. Have you considered an enlarged, rounded end to the pennisula, a bit more like a round table? That might fit well in the space you have, and it would be fine if a few of the bar stools stood in front of the non-operating side of the sliding door. I also agree with llb1630 about turning the island 90 degrees so that you can make it a bit longer and fit a prep sink. Such nice sized rooms give you lots of choices! |
- Posted by spartans99 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 19:31
Thanks for the feedback! I am not crazy about the angled peninsula either. We will probably eat most of our meals in the dining room going forward, but we are really struggling with the space between the fridge and the sliders. I wanted a bar/entertainment area with cabinets to support it as we do a lot of entertaining, and that is why the KD added a peninsula with seating and the cabinets on the other wall with wine fridge. Plus, I think the KD was trying to fill some of the space. It just isn't exactly right just yet. The reason we did not turn the island the other direction and extend it was because of where it would run into the spot along the wall which will get opened to the stairs. That is the wall without cabinets in the current drawings. These drawings do not help show it, but I am not sure how I feel about walking down some stairs with the island right in front of me. Of course, maybe the functionality of the island turned in that direction would trump any look/function of having a second access point to the stairs. Something I will have to chew on. I will see if we can include a drawing or mock up something on paper to show how the opening to the stairs would impact the layout. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 20:01
The fridge shouldn't be stuck right in the middle of the kitchen. It belongs on a perimeter. And you don't need two awkward places to sit. Frankly, I'm not sure that tearing down the wall is helping you very much with usable space here. |
- Posted by spartans99 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 20:12
live_wire_oak you make excellent points! The concern about leaving the wall in tact is that I then have a formal living room, formal dining room, small kitchen (12x11), eat in area (10x11) and family room of which we don't use the living room and dining room in their current state but maybe 4-6 weeks of the year. If the space at the back of the house where the current kitchen sits was not so narrow (only 11'), then I would consider just remodeling the kitchen in its current state. Unfortunately, it's just next to impossible to have more than one person working in the current kitchen and since we entertain frequently - its just too tight for everyone to be in such a narrow kitchen and eat in space. I am definitely opening to completely different designs and have another KD that is going to provide an alternate option next week. I am hoping that helps. Otherwise, we might consider doing a basic remodel and selling to get into a house with a more friendly layout for our lifestyle. But I love our neighborhood and don't want to leave. I greatly appreciate everyone's input! |
Try posting a blank floor plan with a full set of measurements...widths of each wall/window/doorway and the distances b/w each wall/window/doorway. That means each wall segment, no matter how big or small. If you're opening up the wall to the stairs, show that as well...and indicate the direction the stairs are going (up/down, landing pad). Perhaps we can help you come up with a few alternatives. Include a list of your needs and must-haves, and then your list of wants or would-be-nice. The "Layout Help" topic in the "Read Me" thread has more information. |

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the advice. I should have posted a blank floor plan to begin with. I have attached it here and hopefully this helps. I had to free hand it because I don't have the contractor's drawings yet so the numbers could be a few inches off. With regard to opening the stairs on the other side - I am really looking for some feedback from this group. The more my husband and I talk about it, it seems like for the added cost, the benefit isn't really that big. Also, that limits what / how many cabinets we can put along that wall that backs up to the stairs. So, we aren't going to be disappointed if we don't do that part of the project (which probably means we should just forget about it now). Needs/Must Haves: 1. Island - I like to bake so I prefer flat islands where I can spread out with no raised bars 2. 36" gas cooktop with ample area on either side ~ 21-24" (we have next to none now and it is painful to cook). 3. other appliances: counter-depth refrigerator space, convection microwave / oven wall unit (do not want under counter ovens), dishwasher 4. single bowl, silgranite sink 5. Pantry with pull outs - at least 27" wide but prefer larger 6. Bar area / place for wine fridge / barware 7. Buffet/serving space (could be the island or multi-purpose counter space) 8. Kitchen table with space for at least 4 people (not counter height) Wants / Would-be-nice: 1. Seating at the island I am also putting some links here that show some "inspiration" photos related to layout. http://kristinpeakeinteriors.blogspot.com/2012/02/before-and-after-kitchen-in-annapolis.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/drurykitchendesign/4090896456/in/set-72157622646265023 |
- Posted by spartans99 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 18:44
I just remembered a couple additional items worth noting: The window and sliding doors in the current kitchen / eat-in space will remain the same size. The bay windows in the current dining room are almost floor to ceiling today. We can either leave those as is (if there are no cabinets in that space), or replace them so they start at the counter. |
- Posted by spartans99 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 14:43
Any other thoughts on the layout? I am heading over to talk with the kitchen designer next week before Thanksgiving so we can revise plans. Any suggestions / input is greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone! |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Thu, Nov 15, 12 at 14:54
I think you could do a much better job within the current constraints than taking down the wall. That isn't helping you "fix" the space at all. |

hollysprings - do you have any ideas if I didn't take the wall down? I don't want to have wasted space by opening up the wall, but the current space just feels so tight and difficult to use when we entertain so frequently. |

Hi all - we took another stab at the layout and have come up with a design I think will work well for our family. I am posting some pictures of the design here for you to see. Any feedback is appreciated. |

February 19, 2006 8:20 am hackingI'm trying to help Øyvind Kolås out a little bit with Horizon, the little drawing app he's writing for the Nokia 770. I'm beginning by converting the code over to be based upon GObject right now.
The canvas tiling architecture might lay a foundation for future work in gegl, which is the main reason I'm interested in this. I have some a big interest in doing some work on gegl, but it needs a lot of foundation work done on it before I can really begin working on the stuff I want to do. First it needs a new imaging framework, which will involve integrating babl into it for pixel format/image space conversion, and integrating whatever new image tiling stuff is made into it.

A bicoastal newspaper crisis
Financial problems at the Seattle Times Co. and its Blethen Maine Newspapers subsidiary are so severe that if the cash-strapped company cannot soon sell the Maine division, it might have to shut it down, leaving that state's largest city and two smaller ones, including the state capital, without daily newspapers.
That bleak assessment is by Charles Cochrane, Blethen Maine's chief executive, in a nine-page affidavit [279K PDF] filed Tuesday, July 29, in U.S. District Court in Portland, Maine. Cochrane's affidavit and other documents are part of a lawsuit filed by the Seattle Times Co. against the Portland Newspaper Guild.
On Wednesday, July 30, Blethen Maine Newspapers announced a letter of intent had been signed to negotiate the sale of the chain to Maine Media Investments, a syndicate of prospective buyers that includes former U.S. Sen. and Defense Secretary William Cohen. In a statement announcing the letter of intent, Seattle Times Co. Chief Executive Frank Blethen predicted a sale would result in a "seamless and timely" ownership transition for the Maine chain to the locally based group. A headline today, Aug. 1, in the Portland Press Herald, the chain's flagship, proclaims: "Potential buyers say the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram have a healthy future."
But Cochrane's affidavit characterizes a potential sale to Maine Media Investments as "highly uncertain." And his and other documents paint a grim picture of the financial situation at the Maine papers and their Seattle corporate parent:
Both the Seattle Times Co. and the Blethen Maine subsidiary are losing money at an accelerating rate, with losses likely at both units this year and the prospect of a Seattle Times Co. default on loans growing.
Cash flow at Blethen Maine Newspapers plummeted more than 88 percent during the first six months of this year over a similar period in 2007. The chain's advertising revenue during that period fell 19 percent, and overall revenue was down 12 percent.
Finances at both the Maine chain and the corporate parent are so dismal that the Seattle Times Co. might have to start pulling capital out of the Maine operation to cover the parent company's mounting legal costs from the fight with the Portland Newspaper Guild.
Cochrane's affidavit calls the potential sale of the chain uncertain because it requires the Portland Newspaper Guild to agree to renegotiate a labor contract with the prospective buyer. The union and the Seattle Times Co. disagree on the meaning of the contract with regard to continuation of the agreement under new ownership — hence the lawsuit.
If the Seattle Times Co. cannot keep the sale process moving rapidly forward, Cochrane's affidavit says, the value of the chain's assets will drop "precipitously," reaching a point where the Times Co.'s lenders won't approve any sale and instead could foreclose and seize the chain's assets.
"If the lenders choose to foreclose on [Blethen Maine] then a large percentage of [the chain's] workforce would likely be laid off," or the chain might be shut down altogether, Cochrane said.
In addition to the Portland Press Herald and Sunday Maine Telegram, the Seattle Times Co. owns the Kennebec Journal in state capital of Augusta, the Morning Sentinel in Waterville, and MaineToday.com.
According to the filings, the Times Co. began preparing to sell the Maine chain in January. The sale was made public by Blethen in a tearful address to Portland Press Herald staffers in the paper's newsroom in March. About 30 prospective buyers contacted Dirks, Van Essen & Murray, the broker hired by the Times Co. to shop the chain, but Cochrane's affidavit said the list of prospects has dwindled to only the group that includes Cohen, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. publisher Richard Connor, and two Maine businessmen, including the brother of Maine Gov. John Baldacci.
In his affidavit, Cochrane calls the prospect of a deal with Maine Media Investments "highly uncertain." The group is seeking to convince the Portland Newspaper Guild to renegotiate a collective bargaining agreement with Blethen Maine that runs through 2011. A clause in the agreement says it "shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Publisher." The union maintains that means the contract should extend to new owners. The Times Co. has sued to clarify that and force the union to arbitrate it. The union has threatened to get a restraining order against any sale.

RE: ed ink by the globe-ful: Last we heard, Hearst wasn't in danger of going out of business. But you're right, the P-I isn't exactly profitable.
Posted Sat, Aug 2, 2:11 a.m.
RE: ed ink by the globe-ful: Blethen has been very foolish in the way he has run the Times. He aggravated his employees and lost tons of money in an unnecessarily prolonged strike several years ago. He sued Hearst to try to force closure of the P-I, spending gobs of money on that litigation. Then, apparently because he was going to lose the suit based on the Times' own improper conduct, he settled it, agreeing to pay Hearst $25 million. He went hugely into debt to buy the Maine newspapers at a questionably high price. He's always paid himself a very extravagant salary. Having gone on a hiring spree several years ago in the middle of an economic downturn in order to inflate losses so that he could justify closing the P-I, he's now having to lay off dozens of Times employees. The list of his managerial blunders is long.
Posted Mon, Aug 4, 1:06 p.m.
And who failed to create a separate operating company for the Maine purchases, and acted like other (despised) newspaper chains don't act? From the court testimony, it looks to me like some fool has irrevocably melded the Maine operations into his Washington properties so if one goes, they all go? Did no one ever hear of separate operating companies?
Water under the bridge, perhaps, but it sure looks to me that the bankers have the Blethens by the short hairs. The Blethens can't sell the Maine newspapers without the union okay, and they can't walk away from this money losing albatross because the bankers won't let them without sacrificing the Seattle Times and their other Washington properties as well.
It certainly looks to me as if someone got suckered here. Doubtless, those slick but taciturn Pine Tree staters.
So the entire Blethen empire is now foundering? Inquiring readers want to know will there be a 5th generation of Blethen newspaper barons, or will this noble line wither and die out before our eyes? Will Blethen pull another temper tantrum at how horrible and greedy chains are destroying the newspaper business? Will Blethen be left with enough cash to buy another $90,000 SUV?
Brilliant move, whoever is responsible for making it. Not even William Randolph Hearst could orchestrate a final act like this one.

The good folks at the Maine papers are the folks who are suffering, and somehow they should be helped.
Posted Tue, Aug 5, 7:45 a.m.
Query from the Peanut Gallery: Enjoying your reports, but query from the curious here: is there any evidence the P.I. is prepared to take over the Seattle franchise if Blethen goes belly up, as I expect. Hearst isn't doing too well in San Francisco, where it is losing a boatload, and Houston is no longer the cash cow it once was. So is Hearst in any position to take advantage of a sudden windfall in Seattle? Is anyone at the P.I. preparing contingency plans for how it might put together a commercial office and ad sales office, as well as distribute the PI in the event something might happen at the Times? Might be worth a phone call.

Bottom line IMO is that newspapers will be here for some time, and if the P-I doesn't want to pick up the Seattle monopoly, I bet Black or someone else is salavating.
Posted Tue, Aug 5, 4:26 p.m.
p.s. peanut gallery query: As far as selling off the South Lake Union real estate, you think they haven't tried? But there's this little problem back east with troubled mortgage loans that has dried up the real estate market, including commerical real estate loans. The CRE market is following in the footsteps of home mortgages, and of you look at bankruptcies like Bennigans, Steak & Ale, and Boscov's, you see some big players in mall developments are leaving big shopping malls vacant across the country. I would guess that Blethen has already considered a real estate sale, without a buyer willing to pay his price . Bet he has also looked at selling off some of his other Washington newspapers, without interest in that, either. He's in a real bind because this group involving former Sen. Bill Cohen is probably offering to buy Blethen New England for something like 20 cents on the dollar, or less. Look at this group, and there's not much financing there. The Guild seems involved, indicating they might be able to leverage pension funds. But a short sale leaves Blethen still owing the banks a boatload. It may buy him another year, but the grim reaper will come knocking again next year and this economy isn't going to come roaring back after this sort of collapse. Long post to suggest I see a bankruptcy filing, which breaks the Maine Guild contract agreement and frees the paper to be bought by the Cohen group, then a realizing that even restructuring the debt won't work, and the Washington properties put up for sale, with the P.I. offered the Seattle Times for a song. I think Black will go after Tacoma, and maybe some of the other properties as well.
Posted Thu, Aug 7, 10:38 a.m.
Okay, say you are the judge reading Cochrane's lawsuit, and also reading the newspaper. Do you believe his sworn affadavit of big troubles ahead, or his public statement that everything really is tickety-boo? Or do you get really pissed off and kick the plaintiff out of court on the grounds he's wasting the court's time. It's a tough call.
But there is one development that casts further doubts on the financial wherewithall of the Bill Cohen group to have the financing to take on the Maine newspapers. Here's why:
Earmarked to be the editor/publisher of the Maine newspapers, if the Cohen group is successful, is Richard L. Connor, owner of the Wilke Barrie Times Leader, a newspaper he bought from the McClatchy concern in 2006 for $65 million in leveraged money. McClatchy dumped it because the paper was only marginally profitable, but things have markedly worsened since 2006. The Times Leader is dependent on advertising on three Boscov department stores that operate in its circulation district, including the last downtown department store still operating in Wilkes Barrie. Rumors of Boscov's troubles have been circulating for months, prompting Connor to assure the public that worries about Boscov's future are entirely misplaced. As evidence of this, see a story Connor himself wrote for the July 31 Times Leader discounting rumors of Bosco's financial difficulties as nonsense. Four days later, Boscov filed for bankruptcy.
A future for the Times Leader without Boscov is not at all promising. Boscov is to the Times Leader what a piglet is to his mother's teat. But Connor is up in New England inspecting the possbilities of taking on new debts with a New England venture. You have to ask yourself if you were a banker considering loans to this outfit, would that give you much confidence Connor would be able to pay up if this Maine idea didn't work?
Posted Mon, Aug 11, 11:19 a.m.
I seem to recall it was valued at more than $90 million two years ago, so that is a dramatic loss of value. Yet more evidence of the brilliant Blethen management. I also hear no progress either on the front of selling the downtown property, or the Maine Blethen properties. More layoffs loom?

WHOI Sea Grant's Low Power Radio Project: Sound Waves 1620 AM
Pilot Project Overview
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Sea Grant Program is conducting a pilot project to broadcast educational information about the Cape and Islands to visitors traveling to Martha's Vineyard from the Steamship Authority's ferry in Woods Hole via Low Power Radio (LPR). Because auto passengers traveling on the frequent ferries to Martha's Vineyard represent a potentially captive audience with a means for tuning into AM radio, this low-cost and non-regulated communications tool offers a unique opportunity to reach a broad audience with relatively modest effort.
Messages included in the "Sounds Waves" broadcasts will cover a variety of topics related to the Cape and Islands marine environment. These include: the marine scientific history and discoveries of Woods Hole, points of interest along the ferry route, Steamship Authority vessel statistics and facts, general points of interest about the region, seasonal information, and recreational opportunities.
In between the informational loops, "Sound Waves" will broadcast NOAA Weather Radio. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts, in addition to "breaking up" the broadcast loops, will be useful to ferry travelers, local boaters, fishermen, and shellfishermen.
WHOI Sea Grant's partners in this pilot project are the Steamship Authority and Cape & Islands Community Public Radio (WCAI 90.1 FM, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and WNAN 91.1 FM, Nantucket).
In addtion, WHOI Sea Grant has worked with many local organizations to bring "Sound Waves" to the airwaves. These groups include: the Woods Hole Community Association, U.S. Coast Guard Station Woods Hole, Woods Hole Business Association, Woods Hole Library, Woods Hole Historical Collection, the Marine Biological Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Sevice (NEFSC), U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Research Center, Sea Education Association, and the Falmouth Chamber of Commerce.
Some particulars about our project:
Our Target Audience: Ferry Vehicle Passengers
With the high volume of auto traffic that travels on the Steamship Authority's Woods Hole-Martha's Vineyard ferries each year (375,000 cars and 65,000 trucks), a well-documented potential audience for this LPR pilot project exists. Ferries run from as early at 5:40 a.m. to as late as 11:45 p.m., although when the occasional guaranteed standby policy is in effect, boats will run as late as 2:00 a.m. Autos with reservations spend anywhere from 1 - 6 hours waiting for their ferry, though the average "staging" time is approximately 2 hours.
These statistics clearly illustrate the availability of potential listeners for our LPR project. We anticipate that the listenership will depend on several factors, including weather, time of day, length of waiting time, age of passengers, type of passenger (i.e., tourist vs. resident), and familiarity with region, among other factors.
According to the Steamship Authority, 70% of auto passengers are "transients," meaning they visit Martha's Vineyard--via the ferry--once per year. Twenty percent are classified as passengers who make "multiple visits" via the ferry each year, and 10% are Vineyard residents. For the most part, messages in our pilot project will be geared to the transients, although many of the facts and topics will be of interest to residents and frequent visitors.
We will conduct a survey after the pilot project has been up and running for a few months. This survey will be conducted in persion and will query auto passengers about their opinions on the LPR broadcasts.
If you have heard the "Sounds Waves" broadcast and would like to participate in our survey, please contact the WHOI Sea Grant office at (508) 289-2665 or e-mail us: email@example.com.
