With the canceling of Tuesday's scheduled TNT game between the Celtics and Pacers due to the tragic events that took place in Boston today, the Raptors at Hawks game has been moved into the TNT slot.
The game will mark the first time the Raptors have been on national television south of the border since 2008 and the first time on TNT since 2004. Fans have been longing for that kind of exposure for some time, but for obvious reasons, this announcement should not be met with any sort of celebration.
I chose to write about it briefly here because this is a gathering place for passionate Raptors fans, and a Raps game being on TNT is something I thought fellow fans would want to know about, but again, it's a horrible way to get there.
Part of the beauty of sports is the ability to serve as a distraction from the grind of reality and everyday life, and while the game itself means little in the standings or in the grand scheme of life, hopefully the Raptors and Hawks will be able to provide some form of entertainment and distraction for basketball fans, if even just for a couple of hours.
So by all means, try to enjoy watching your team in a TNT game tomorrow night, as you shouldn't feel guilty about that passion. But keep things in perspective and keep the victims, first responders, their families and all those affected by the attack in Boston in your thoughts and prayers.

I have these plantlets for trade:
Allegro Coronation (standard)
I may also have: Optimara Martinique, Elise, Whirligig Star, and Witch Doctor, if they prove to be ready to go. I would like to trade for plantlets of: Alan's Fallen Angel, Bob's Omega, or Warm Sunshine, to replace ones I've lost. Other than those three, no AVs, please. Instead, I'd be willing to trade for other houseplants or garden plants. For houseplants, I prefer something easy to grow/tough as nails, or other gesneriads. Common is not a problem. For garden plants, they need to able to take heat and full sun. Seriously though, make me any offer. You might suggest something I hadn't thought of. But again, no AVs except the 3 listed above. I can't handle any more : ) Oh, if by any chance anyone has a leaf or plantlet of the strep Bristol's Nose Print, I'd be very interested. Thanks! |

Controversial video posted on YouTube by 2 Santaluces girls leads to tighter security at the school
LANTANA, Fla. - The Palm Beach County School District says it is aware of a video posted by two Santaluces students and that "appropriate action" will be taken.
It was uploaded by two girls at the Lantana high school and has been removed by YouTube because the site considers it "hate speech."
In the video the girls made disparaging remarks about African-Americans at their school.
The video has been shared across social media sites and was highlighted by the web video show, Tosh.0.
Parents and students we spoke with called the remarks racist.
The Palm Beach Post is reporting that the school district is increasing security at the school. The district is not talking about the incident but did release this statement:
"The School District is aware of the situation. Appropriate action will be taken according to district policy. Racist comments are unacceptable and have no place in our School District."
Calls to the principal at Santaluces have not been returned. The district is also not releasing the identity of the girls at this time.
School Police Chief Jim Kelly told the Palm Beach Post that his department has added extra officers to the Santaluces campus to ensure the safety of students, but that there have been no issues at the school so far today.
"The school will be looking at this situation to take appropriate action," Kelly told the Post. "Social media is new, so a lot of these situations are new. The district will have to look at this and determine what the appropriate action is."

I have several trades worth of each of these seeds. They were grown indoors in a hydroponic unit and hand pollinated to insure pure seed. Fresh seeds -- less than a month old. I am redoing my unit for the spring, so these are the last of these seeds that I will have available. Here is some info on the varieties: BLACK PLUM is a Russian heirloom. It is a small "black" tomato with greenish shoulders. Very productive. Indeterminate. 75 days. If you'd like to trade, let me know! |

Since I live in the Ozark Mountains, I think I'd like to try. Check my seed list if there's anything you would like. |

Think I've responded to everyone who expressed interest. I still have a few more packs of each! |
I would love to try both of these black tomatoes. Let me know if I have anything on my page that you would be interested in. |
Do you still have those seeds? |
- Posted by EricaBraun 9b CA (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 23:09
Scorion1, yep, I still have them. Can't send you an email though, since you don't have it enabled. You can send me an email with seeds you have to trade, if you want to do a trade. |
I am going to send you an email. Sorry about the email problem earlier. I fixed it when I seen your post. Thank You. |
I am interested in your Black Plum, if you still have some. I just have 'flower' seeds to trade at the moment though: Coral Iris, Blackberry Lily (who doesn't have BL to trade) and some wild Orange poppy seeds. I also have some Jobs Tears that you might like. It is a very odd Asian/African grass the produces beads. No joke. When I bought the 'seeds' last year, I was very disappointed that the company sent so few... Duh, each pod (bead) contains dozens of tiny seeds. Ended up with dense clumps. Should have separated them, but didn't know any better. Let me know. Patricia |

World Bird Populations
Name: R' Cohen Status: teacher Age: 40s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1/13/2003
I am having trouble finding the following estimates of bird populations. Please direct me to appropriate places.
1. What is the total number of wild birds in the world?
2. What is the total number of migratory birds in the world?
3. What is the total number of domestic birds (chicken, turkey, ostrich, etc. farms; pets etc.) in the world?
According to Terres, The Audubon Encyclopedia of North American Birds, "it is difficult if not impossible to get an accurate count of the total population of a widespread species..." Given that ornithologists are not even sure how many species there really are in the world, it would be most difficult to estimate total populations. Nevertheless, the same source says that in 1951 "Fisher, a British ornithologist, estimated there are more than 100 billion individual wild birds in the world," and that Leonard Wing (1956) estimated that there were about 5.6 billion birds in the U.S. in summer and about 3.75 billion in winter. In 1931 McAtee estimated 2.6 billion breeding land birds in the U.S. Obviously these numbers are quite dated and only estimates.
I do not know where you would find estimates for domestic birds, possibly United Nations Agricultural agencies?

Who do you think looks best today? (5 photos)
The best street style from London Fashion Week: http://ow.ly/p48HS via @StyleCaster
Nicole Richie knew just what to say to get boyfriend Joel Madden interested in attending a Hollywood pool party thrown by design house Yves Saint Laurent. "I tried to get him to come and he was like, 'No!' and then I said, 'There's water ballet.' and he said, 'Alright! I'm there.'" Richie's rocker was quick to agree that a planned performance by world-class water dance troupe Aquartistes was the big draw. "I was in my suit in five minutes flat," said Madden, whoalong with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Minnie Driver and Sophia Bushgot a front row seat for the entertainment. The evening benifited Center Dance Arts, which helps fund outreach programs that bring dance to at-risk and disadvantaged children.Read MoreLess

He even told the new driver how to respond to an emergency vehicle and how to act if a deputy or policeman pulls him over.
I have mentioned before the practicality of making a dry run through various scenarios with young people. They will respond most of the time just like you taught them. They will be prepared and will not panic at these times.
Our deputies have had people slam on their brakes in a middle traffic lane as they come upon a car with blue lights flashing, nearly causing a traffic crash.
Others have panicked and suddenly veered into the path of an emergency vehicle.
Talk to the new driver at least two or three times about this particular issue of dealing with emergencies.
Give some examples and encourage them to ask questions. Engage them in the "what if" game.
What if I get stopped for speeding, etc?
I have spoken of this a couple of times before, because it is important. People revert to their training when a crisis or emergency arises.
This teaching is very simple, but will serve the young person very well.
This little exercise can be applied to many of life's situations.
How often do we hear of a small child helping save the life of a parent or grandparent, because of their having been taught how to call 911 for an ambulance, firefighter or deputy?
Young kids and young people are like sponges and they will soak it all up, even when you don't think they are listening.
These teaching opportunities come from time to time and should be fully utilized.
This grandpa I am talking about also told his grandson to introduce himself to his high school's school resource officer and get acquainted.
I would suggest the same thing when the opportunity presents itself. Get acquainted with a deputy and introduce the new driver as well.
Tell the deputy that you are teaching your child or grandchild how to interact with law enforcement, as well as to support all community keepers of the peace.
If you do not have a chance meeting with a deputy, call the Sheriff's Office, ask for a supervisor and find out which deputy patrols your area.
Let the supervisor and deputy know that they are welcome to stop by your house or business at their convenience.
Too often our people are short-handed and stay very busy answering the many calls for service.
This additional service will have to be done when the volume of calls have subsided during that particular shift.
The better people know our deputies, the better the chance that a mutual cooperation will exist.
Mutual trust is built, and out of this comes a better community with top grade law enforcement.
Thanks again for reading.

Buzz: Empower students with classes that reach beyond the basics.
To help people learn better ways to run, IDEA member Mindy Solkin created a sports and conditioning class she calls Runditioning™ at The Running Center LLC, in New York City. Using functional training equipment and participants'own body weight, the class uses running-specific movements to teach good form and how to reduce injuries. "In running, the physiology is just half of the sport," says Solkin. "Sure, it's important to know how far, how fast and how often to run so that you can improve your aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. But the other half of running—the biomechanics—is equally important." The 60-minute class is open to all levels.
Backyard Bootcamp, offered by The Fitness Edge LLC in Fairfield, Connecticut, challenges participants to "increase their abilities in each of the 10 recognized fitness domains." The outdoor class includes runs, sprints, jump ropes, agility ladders, sandbags, tubing, medicine balls, stretching and a variety of body-weight exercise.
Rowbics™ is an indoor rowing class that offers a "balanced series of isometric and traditional rowing movements" to help strengthen the entire body. According to the Rowbics website, the class targets "the body's four major systems," proper execution of the rowing stroke and good form.
As a teenager, Toni Bergins, MEd, dealt with bulimia, depression and low self-esteem. These problems continued to control her until she "learned how to reclaim her life through dance." In 1998, Bergins created JourneyDance™, a practice that combines elements of dance, expressive movement, theater improvisation, creative visualization, sounding, singing and an exploration of the body's energy centers. "JourneyDance is essentially a holistic health and spiritual practice in that we're actually changing neurological processes," says Bergins. "After only one session, dancers return home embodied, loving, full of gratitude with powerful techniques to befriend their minds and keep negative thought patterns in check, thereby creating new and positive brain patterns."
The Rome Athletic Club in Rome, Georgia, brings parent and child (4 years old and up) together to experience Buff Bodz'n Little Bodz. The 45-minute offering combines "fun cardio drills with easy bodyweight training and flexibility routines to help [parent and child] achieve fitness together, while sharing a bonding experience that both will cherish."

any help? Thanks! Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
I got this when I googled toberose: Just before frost dig up the bulbs, cut off the tops to within 2 inches of the apex of the bulb. They may then be placed in shallow boxes and left out in the sun and air for a week or more, to cure. Each evening, if the nights are cold, they should be removed to some room where the Hope that helps! |

"This was an exceptional dish. Used I cup marsala wine and two cups beef broth. Also I reduced sauce liquid mostly prior to adding the cream. Simmered about 10 minuted after addition of cream and added a bit more boullion base to give a bit more flavor. Do not reccommend skipping the sun-dried tomatoes,as they boost flavor and texture.

[348] Fine Needle Aspiration of the Mediastinal Lesions: A 20-Year Retrospective Study of 561 Cases
Shaoxiong Chen, Harvey Cramer, Xiaoyan Wang. Indiana University, Indianapolis
Background: Image-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) has been used routinely for diagnosing mediastinal lesions. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed our 20-year experience with FNA of the mediastinum and determined its diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility.
Design: A computerized search of our cytology database was performed for all FNAs of the mediastinum from 1990 to 2010. All cytology reports and correlating surgical reports were reviewed and slides from selected cases were re-examined.
Results: A total 561 FNA cases of the mediastinum were performed over a 20-year period. There were 329 malignant cases (59%), 157 benign cases (28%), 22 cases suspicious for neoplasm/atypical cells (4%), and 53 unsatisfactory cases (9%). Malignant cases included metastatic carcinoma (169 cases, 51%), thymoma/thymic carcinoma (45 cases, 14%), germ cell tumor (43 cases, 13%), lymphoma/leukemia (34 cases, 10%), primary neuroendocrine tumor (10 cases, 3%), and other rare poorly differentiated tumors (28 cases, 9%). Histological correlation was available for 238 FNA cases (42%) including 148 malignant, 57 benign, 11 suspicious for neoplasm/atypical cells, and 22 unsatisfactory cases. There were 32 patients diagnosed as metastatic small cell carcinoma by FNA who were directly referred for chemotherapy without ever obtaining a confirmatory surgical biopsy. Among 148 malignant cases, 141 (95%) cases were confirmed histologically; 4 malignant cases (3%) lacked histological confirmation due to biopsy sampling error and 3 cases (2%) were incorrectly classified by FNA including 1 case of lymphangiomyomatosis misdiagnosed as teratoma, 1 case of small cell carcinoma misdiagnosed as large cell lymphoma, and 1 case of sclerosing large cell lymphoma misdiagnosed as thymoma. Among 57 benign cases, 40 cases (70%) were confirmed histologically. However, there were 14 false negative FNA cases (25%) including 5 Hodgkin lymphomas, 3 adenocarcinomas, 2 large B cell lymphomas, 1 low grade neoplasm, 1 small cell carcinoma, 1 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and 1 thymic carcinoma. Among 11 cases diagnosed as suspicious for neoplasm/atypical cells, 10 were proven to be neoplasms by follow-up histologically.
Conclusions: In this study, the overall diagnostic accuracy for the FNA diagnosis of mediastinal lesions was 88% and the misclassification rate was low (2%). False negative and unsatisfactory diagnoses were due primarily to sampling error. In our experience, FNA is a valuable method for the diagnosis of mediastinal lesions and is particularly beneficial for the management of patients with small cell carcinoma.

Joan and Robbie Schroeder are legendary trainers and breeders and the history of their great stallion Blazing Hot is well documented. However, many may not know that one act of kindness dating back to the late 1980's has had a profound effect on the Quarter Horse industry, and today it has been brought back around full circle.
Robbie and Joan didn't have much as far as money and material possessions when they started off in the horse industry. Nevertheless, it is extraordinary how the Schroeder's success can be traced back to one sickly foal, Tahnee Zippo.
Tahnee Zippo, was born on February 1, 1986 in Indiana. When she was four days old, her mother, Toshi, was shipped back to Valley View, Texas to be bred back to Zippo Pine Bar. The four day old filly on Toshi's side caught pneumonia and had to be given oxygen everyday--probably caused by stress, and being born in February when it was cold made her more susceptible to getting sick.
Long time breeders Jean and Bob Wolf of Michigan owned Toshi and the ailing filly, Tahnee Zippo. Joan Schroeder was working for Bob and Ann Perry who owned Zippo Pine Bar and Joan stayed up every night with the sick filly and gave her oxygen and took care of her around the clock until she got better. According to Joan, the foal recovered and was back to normal after 30 days. The Wolf's showed their appreciation to Joan for spending so much time caring for their foal by giving her half ownership of the well-bred, pretty bay filly.
Joan was also given the opportunity to train and show her. "I believe this mare (Tahnee Zippo) was the best Western Pleasure 2 Year-old I had seen up to this point, but unfortunately, she slipped and fell into a fence and strained the ligaments in her hips, and she was never shown," Joan recalls. "But I really believe things happen for a reason. We never showed her, and she ended up being the first Zippo Pine Bar daughter that was bred to Hotrodders Jet Set. Who knows what would have happened if we showed her. We probably would have sold her and none of the major accolades that came our way would have ever happened."
Tahnee Zippo's first offspring was Hot N Spicy Me which won the 1993 Two Year-Old Snaffle Bit Futurity at the Congress under all five judges with Keith Whistle aboard. In 1994, Whistle came back on another Tahnee Zippo foal who just happened to be named, Blazing Hot. He won the 2 Year-Old Snaffle Bit at the Congress again with this colt and then Joan came back the next year and won the Congress in the Three Year-Old Open and Limited Three Year Old Snaffle Bit Futurity.
In 1994, during the Congress, the Schroeder's bought out the Wolf's fifty percent of Blazing Hot by giving up their fifty percent share of his dam, Tahnee Zippo, and his younger sister, Prettiest Jet Yet, plus a hefty amount of money. This was definitely a nerve-wracking decision for a couple of horse trainers in their mid thirties! Two years later, Blazing Hot's wins at the 1996 AQHA World Show in the Junior Western Pleasure with Joan showing and Junior Western Riding with Robbie showing, put the stallion in the record books. Blazing Hot is the only horse to win those two titles in the same year, let alone the same day, at the AQHA World Show.
Since then, Blazing Hot's offspring have earnings in excess of $2.5 Million. Blaze has sired Champions in every major futurity including two horses that won $100,000 at the Reichert Celebration, and, recently, sired the 2010 Congress Masters Champion, A Slow Burn who is out of Born Lopin.
While Schroeder had some amazing luck and instincts about Tahnee Zippo and her offspring, she also appears to have a special talent for finding exceptional trainers to ride her horses. Earlier this year, Katy Jo Pickard came to the Schroeder's to pick out a prospect for the Masters. When Pickard got to the farm, the Schroeders were not there, and she immediately spotted a fancy bay stallion loping quietly on a walker. Katy Jo immediately fell in love with this colt who could lope as slow as the other horses jog. Little did she know that this stud colt was by Blazing Hot and out of Born Lopin. Born Lopin is one of the greatest producing daughters of Zippo Pine Bar and is the dam of such greats as the 2004 AQHA Two Year Old Western Pleasure World Champion, Born To Be Blazing and NSBA Horse of the Year, Hot Lopin Louise.
Pickard continues, "I also got to choose a horse to keep in the divorce, and I decided to keep Burnie which was a huge gamble because at the time, he was green broke and his head was still stuck straight up in the air. But, luckily so far, it appears to have paid off."
The one decision Joan and Katy Jo did discuss over a couple of margaritas one night was to change the colt's name from RS Born Blazed to A Slow Burn (Burnie). "We both believed that he deserved a better name. He is such a beautiful stud and he's genetically outstanding. I also had a safe and secure feeling about him," Pickard said. "I never doubted him even when he was going through some rough stages. I had to train him on the road which was a little bit more difficult because everyone else got to see him when he wasn't at his best. He finally turned a corner around the last couple of days at the NSBA World Show, and I felt he was ready to show by the middle of September."
Schroeder adds,"We knew what we had, but we also knew we needed the pilot and we trusted Katy Jo completely. She is very talented and obviously gets along with Blazing Hot prospects. She took him in April, and the next time I saw him was at the Reichert, and I liked what I saw. I never doubted my decision, even though I knew Katy Jo was going through a divorce and a tough time. Like many people, the love of horses help people survive--it's what people live for--their passion. I knew that the tough times she was having would not change her devotion and desire to do the best job possible."
"There are people interested in buying Burnie," Schroeder says. "But we haven't had a chance to sit down and talk to Katy Jo yet to decide on a price." On the other hand, Katy Jo seemed a little reluctant about selling him just yet. "He is my friend, and I think he is so good minded. He loves his job, and I would really like the opportunity to show him his three year-old year too. However, we are all horsemen, and we will always have each other's back, so we will make the best decision for everyone involved."
The initial kindness that Joan showed that sickly foal, Tahnee Zippo, led to the Wolf's being generous to Joan and giving her half ownership of the mare-- to finally, Joan believing in Katy Jo during a difficult time, and letting her buy 50 percent of A Slow Burn. "When you pay it forward and show someone kindness, you are really the one in the end that receives the gift," Joan explains. "Everything goes full circle. I believe everything happens for a reason, and it is amazing that one act of kindness can drastically change a person's life for the better."

Try whink rust remover, in brown bottle, found on most grocery stores. |
This has worked for me:straight lemon juice, let it sit, then scrub off with mild abrasive. I use one of those "Dobie" kitchen cleaning pads and either scouring powder or baking soda. . |
Thanks, I have lemons in the house so I'll try that first then the Whink if it doesn't work. THANKS! |

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a severe infectious disease that affects your blood vessels. It is potentially fatal.
Ticks in North, Central, and South America spread the disease.
Specific bacteria cause RMSF. The American dog tick and the Rocky Mountain wood tick carry these bacteria. It passes to humans when an infected tick bites the skin. The bacteria can then pass into the bloodstream.
The bacteria sit in the lining of small blood vessels and multiply. The growth of the bacteria causes irritation and swelling in the blood vessels. Blood and other fluids can then leak out of the blood vessels into the surrounding tissue.

HIT THE BARRE: The simultaneous pleasure and pain of the pulse, barre-style, has made its way across the pond, to Barrecore, where Londoners are now feeling the burn of the barre method. Founded by fitness fiend Niki Rein, who trained in New York with Debbie Frank (the national instructor-trainer for Core Fusion, the original barre/core class), Barrecore is where Londoners — including the style set and a couple of princesses — are heading to get a longer, leaner silhouette through the unique fusion of ballet, Pilates and yoga moves.
In an hour, all the major muscle groups are worked using a ballet barre, one's own body weight and isometric exercises in an intelligent, fat-burning interval-training format designed to get results quickly. The "barre butt" and the "barre body" are just two goals that Barrecore devotees work toward, as well as toned arms, flat stomachs and more statuesque posture.

Guys, do you take this personally? - page 4
If a female patient wasn't comfortable with a male patient seeing her "woman parts" for a specific procedure or something (and would rather have a female nurse do it), do you guys take it personally?... Read More
1Jan 19, '13 by ClementiaDiscrimination is defined as "treating someone unfairly due to prejudice". Notice the qualifier: prejudice, the irrational dislike/distrust of someone based on an attribute they have no control over.
Classifying as discrimination a patient's request for a nurse of the same gender is utter nonsense. 99% of the time, the request is based on the patient's sense of modesty, or on personal reasons such as those given by the above poster. Not everyone has the same standards of personal modesty, but it is patronizing and wrong for us nurses to label someone else's beliefs regarding modesty as discrimination.anotherone likes this. -
1Jan 19, '13 by CT Pixie, ASN, RNQuote from Sacred eagleGuaranteed? Really? The two hospitals I delivered my daughters at (one a well known major teaching hospital the other a Catholic based hospital) both had L&D wards as well as mammo depts and at BOTH I had male nurses, one during the delivery of one of my daughters, the other a post-partum nurse for my 2nd daughter. Both hospitals also had male nurses in the NICU where my daughters were patients. As for if there were any mammography employees who were male I have no idea. But as I said both hospitals had L&D units as well as mammo depts and both had male nurses working in the L&D units. So much for being guaranteed there are no males working there.If a hospital has a L&D ward anda mammo dept you can beguaranteed that there are nomales working there. You aregiving your female patients choicesautomatically yet not accommodating your male patients. That is flat out gender discrimination and puts hospitalsin a very precarious positions.
I personally had no issues or problems with any of the staff who were my nurses, male or female. My OB was a male so why would I have a problem with a male who happened to be my nurse?anotherone likes this. -
0Jan 19, '13 by Medic2BSN13Not at all!! If a patient requests a nurse of the same gender then I fully respect their privacy.
0Jan 19, '13 by AndooI don't take it personally. You have to take into consideration a lot of things. Perhaps they are old fashioned and don't feel right having a male nurse seeing them in such a vulnerable state. Not only that, but you have to take into consideration their past history. Maybe they have been abused or mistreated and they are just very uncomfortable having a male nurse. The best thing to do is let them know that you are a professional and if they still want to have a female nurse instead, then respect their wishes.
0Jan 20, '13 by davidmartindaleI feel we are truly outsiders. I lost a jobas a hospice aid while in nursing school when I was told by a manager that myeducation interfered with my availability and was told outright to quit school,and I was eventually fired outright while female aides in my position wereopenly encouraged to study. When being introduced to the schools nursingprogram the student nurse association brought up the subject of how they offersupport to students who may be in abusive relationships, and I was the onlymale in the room the student rep pointed out directly to me they also help withgay domestic abuse as well. I'm a married hetero it is ridiculous how we areseem as an aberration in this day and age.
0Jan 20, '13 by davidmartindaleNo I always offer the patient who is ourmain concern the option of a female nurse should one be available, I generallyfind very few refuse a male if given the option as a courtesy
0Jan 20, '13 by newnurseoldmanToo all commenting that this is discrimination .. What? ?? Ok here are some reasons why it is not first Discrimination is about what someone thinks about you , female (or male ) modesty is about what they think, feel about themselves. second, how are they harming you? you don't do the cath or peri care, or wipe the butt? POOR you ! some days i wish all my patients would request someone else do that stuff for them. Real issue is, the patient is the customer, and the one in a vulnerable position, make them comfortable, quit worrying about how you feel about it.
0Feb 10, '13 by Sterling-RNA good friend of my told me she has a male GYN, and said "Well I just wouldn't feel comfortable with a woman looking at me there." I don't think it's discrimination, it's a comfort issue. And what difference does it make? So long as it's individual choice and not a policy enforced by the facility itself.

Follow-Up Postings:
I am guessing, but maybe the KD means that the hutch shown with 12" sides on the uppers (pull outs?) looks too elongated and thin relative to the hutch size as a whole. As for the space next to the sink, I am not sure about the depth, but I have a 36" countertop next to my fridge and it is bordered on the right side by a wall that protrudes beyond the countertop and is the side of a coat closet (which is the end of my original house pre extension and could not be eliminated). Anyway, it is a similair set up to your fridge, 36" countertop / baking area / pantry design. I wouldn't use this space for baking. It seems closed in and too narrow, especially considering I have an island to use with alot more countertop. Also, this is a busy area for traffic with everyone going into the fridge and using the walk way. I thought I would show you this picture to help you visualize. Maybe you could make the 36" between the fridge and pantry a command center or beverage center. If you made it your command center, you could have the desk space for a larger hutch. Just an idea. |
Why doesn't she 'balance' the cabinets on either side of the stove, so they're the same size? Isn't that part of design? Where does the wall end to the left of the stove? Does it go all the way to the back side of the sink run? If so, I think I'd add cabinets there to balance the entire wall. But I don't see a reason to have the cabinets flanking the hood and stove to be different sizes. I agree that the hutch design isn't good. I wouldn't do the thin cabinets on either side of center on the top or the bottom. Was this design your instruction to her? I think the problem with the fridge wall is the drop of the upper over the cabinet. I don't think it's necessary, and all should be level, and the doors designed to look nice together. I agree that 36" would be narrow for baking, but for using the mixer in order to use the island across as main baking workspace, it serves an important purpose. There is no reason those cabinets facing the stove can't be 24" deep so that your sink is in the right spot. Your work triangle would be GREAT if the sink was put where you asked. Maybe the other cabinet sizes need to be adjusted. She has now insisted on charging you by the hour, instead of the original agreed fee, right? And has given you plans that need revision and more time... You've reported that she has given you argument and attitude previously, and I think she still might be... |
At some point, you cut your losses and move on. After paying the fee, trying to work with the KD, and not getting what we were looking for, the last straw was when she said her latest drawings were as I "directed." So pleased with the other local custom company we went with,,,it was a true partnership in finalizing the design and seeing it come to life. |
The upper cabinets she put up aren't that minimal look by the stove. If you want that minimalist look, I wouldn't add cabinets, but would come up with a plan for balancing the whole wall, not just immediately around the stove. They get away with that in the inspiration pic, because there are cabinets and shelves on the adjacent wall that narrow the view. Your inspiration hutch is way larger scale than what you have room to accomplish, so the proportions won't work. I'm guessing it's 8 1/2' or so. You'd be better served to find something closer to what you have room for, so you're not having this fight with her. Maybe even get out some graph paper and draw something that pleases you. Those little squares are wonderfully helpful for getting things to scale. If you give her no room to play games, because you know exactly what you want, then it might save you time and aggravation. Not what you should have to do, maybe, but at this point... |
I don't understand why you need a kitchen designer, when you are the one essentially designing the kitchen anyway? |
I am not trying to bash my KD. I like the cabinet maker she partners with, and the construction company she aligns herself with, so I am happy to have given her a shot at the kitchen design. I am just trying to come up with the best design for the space, functional/efficient/pretty, and not too costly. I could have very easily have signed on for one of her earlier designs, and been done with it, but I decided to check in with all of you to see what could be improved. I am just worried that she is being passive-aggresive with me by submitting these drawings, which were a week late, and did not incorporate my changes as written. Thanks rhome410 for your advice, I will study hutches and find something that is within the 48-50 inches that I have room for, and send her a picture! |
I am just worried that she is being passive-aggresive with me by submitting these drawings, which were a week late, and did not incorporate my changes as written. If you're now paying her by the hour, this is not cool, professional, or acceptable. You should have the best you can for your space, and it seems she is offended by you not accepting her first effort. It's your kitchen, and her bruised ego shouldn't get in the way of the best possible final product. Deedles is right that you are now designing more than she is. |
I think those are much better, more appropriate for the space, choices. I love the drawers under my hutch, for the reason you specified. |

"We're not just opening doors, we're opening minds". It is with this forward thinking slogan that the Art Gallery of Ontario opened its doors after a remarkable transformation penned by Toronto- born Frank Gehry.
Launched in 2002, the transformation programme has included the major architectural extension by Gehry and the expansion of the permanent collection. As a consequence, the new AGO offers a 47 per cent increase in art viewing space welcoming visitors to 110 light-filled galleries featuring more than 4,000 new and perennial art works.
The building is surprisingly Gehry's first commission in his native city and contains an interesting array of signature elements such as an iconic sculptural staircase emerging from Walker Court (the historic centre of the AGO), the sweeping glass-and-wood Galleria Italia extending an entire city block along Dundas Street, and the new contemporary tower with its vistas of Grange Park and of a Toronto Skyline never seen from this angle.
With this new museum extension, Frank Gehry has devised an unforgettable space to honour the art housed within. Attention to the core issue of the pleasure of art viewing is palpable throughout thanks to the amount of natural light and transparency that permeate the extension.
Happy to define his recent creation as "a real Frank Gehry building", the architect nonetheless commented on the hard nature of remodelling an existing structure, as the gallery has since its opening in 1900 seen many extension with the latest designed by Barton Myers in 1993.

For the past few years we have put up two Christmas trees. My former house was T.i.n.y. The only tree that would fit was a 4 foot table top type. When we moved into this house 8 years ago we started with one tree in the former formal living room (now the dining room) in front of the window. I then found room for another in the entry. Now that we have a dining room things had to shift and I like it so much better now with a tree in the dining room and one in the family room.

Methods Of hummingbird tattoo design - What s Required
From MN150
I have seen a lot of tattoo designs that are really beautiful on paper or on the computer screen but sadly enough they don't even look half as good when tattooed on someone's shoulder.

Nail art - Nail art is yet another form of body art. And if you opt for a high quality temporary design it should look exactly like a tattoo of the permanent variety.

Bright and vibrant colorful tattoos send a completely different message. They are also an indication of an individual's creativity especially if the designs are authentic and unique. There are so many tattoo designs in a wide variety of styles, colors and characters available for girls that it can be a challenge finding your best one.
Usually, people build up their tattoos over time, without a real "end game" plan of how they want them to look together. hummingbird tattoo design On some websites you can look at other peoples experiences or post your own.

text: DODGE-LEAVENWORTH EXPEDITIONIn mid-1834 a U.S. Army force, the Dodge-Leavenworth Expedition, was sent to negotiate with southern Plains Indian tribes who endangered Santa Fe traders and frustrated government efforts to move eastern tribes west. After expeditions in 1832 and 1833 failed to contact plains Indians, Brig. Gen. Henry Leavenworth, commander of the Southwestern Military Department, and Col. Henry Dodge and his recently established First Dragoon Regiment, were assigned to Fort Gibson with instructions to persuade the plains tribes to respect the immigrating Eastern Indians and white traders. The dragoons departed Fort Gibson on June 15, 1834. Many of the regiment's officers, including Lt. Col. Stephen W. Kearny and First Lt. Jefferson Davis, later earned fame in the Mexican War and Civil War. The expedition was accompanied by civilians as well, including George Catlin, an artist determined to paint pictures of the Plains Indians. Thirty Cherokee, Delaware, Osage, and Seneca warriors served as guides and hunters. Leavenworth had obtained two Plains Indian women, previously abducted by the Osages, to return to their tribes as goodwill gestures. By the time the expedition encamped near the Washita River's mouth, nearly one-third of the regiment was incapacitated by disease, which necessitated reorganization into six companies of forty-two men each. General Leavenworth, wracked by a high fever, abandoned plans to lead the dragoons and ordered Dodge to proceed. As Colonel Dodge's force marched west, signs of Indian activity increased. On July 10 the regiment entered the Cross Timbers, the boundary between the Plains Indians and their eastern neighbors, and picked its way through dense brush for three days before reaching the plains. On July 14 Dodge encountered Comanches, who led him to their village. There the soldiers encamped, establishing a hospital for the latest fever victims. Unable to arrange negotiations because of the Comanche chief's absence, Dodge proceeded farther west to a Wichita village he had learned about from the Comanches. Leaving more men at another sick camp, the 183 remaining men moved slowly through the Wichita Mountains. On July 21 the dragoons encountered Wichitas, including the father of a woman accompanying the expedition. Their reunion facilitated negotiations the next day, when Dodge invited the tribe to send representatives to Washington. During the parley Dodge failed to obtain a ranger private captured during the 1833 expedition, but he succeeded in winning the release of a white boy kidnaped earlier in the spring. During the second day of negotiations the Comanches and Kiowas appeared. Dodge established friendly relations with the Kiowas by returning a woman abducted by the Osages in 1833. After urging the three tribes to refrain from attacking whites and Eastern Indians, on the afternoon of July 25 Dodge, accompanied by over twenty Plains Indians, marched his men eastward. Colonel Dodge sent General Leavenworth a report of his meeting and his plan to return to Fort Gibson by the most direct route. Despite his fever Leavenworth and a small force had followed Dodge. While in the Cross Timbers, the general died on July 21, the same day Dodge reached the Wichita village. Unaware of the general's death, Dodge paused a few days near the Canadian River and then pushed rapidly eastward. By mid-August the expedition reached Fort Gibson. Small parties of the sick straggled into the post for several weeks. Deaths continued at the rate of about four to five a day. From his room in the hospital Catlin estimated that as many as 150 had died since June. Dodge wrote, "Perhaps their [sic] never has been in America a campaign that operated more severely on man and horses." In military terms the expedition was a success. Colonel Dodge accomplished his mission, but the price paid did not produce corresponding results. Although the expedition led directly to the signing of the first treaty with the Plains Indians, the Southern Plains would not be pacified for another half-century.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Quiche
June 2nd, 2011 by Vicky | Published in Appetizers
I love meat. My boyfriend loves meat. We eat meat so often that sometimes I forget how a simple vegetarian dish can be so good. But vegetables can pack as much flavor punch when combined with the right ingredients and honestly, we can all benefit from consuming a little less animal product.
Quiches are my go-to quick-and-easy dish that I like to serve when there is a dinner party or potluck. Store-bought refrigerated pie crust speed up the process—although one of these days I shall share with you my flaky sour cream pie crust recipe—and there is an endless combination of ingredients you can put in the quiche. This time I roasted some sweet potatoes and caramelized some onions for the quiche. It's a nice blend of the sweetness from the sweet potato and onion with the savory eggs and crust, but feel free to add some bacon bits you meat addicts!
Roasted Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Quiche
1 medium size sweet potato, diced
1 medium size onion, diced
Olive oil
2 tbsp. butter
Salt & pepper to taste
6 large eggs beaten
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Salt & pepper
1 refrigerated pie crust
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Remove pie crust from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature (makes it easier to handle).
Place diced sweet potato on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes or until soft.
Meanwhile, heat up the butter and some olive oil in a pan and cook the diced onions until they have developed a deep brown color, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool to room temperature.
Fit room temperature pie crust into 9-inch pie pan. Combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper to taste, and room temperature onions. Place roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom of the pie pan, then pour egg mixture on top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes until egg mixture is set.

Oval Blown Glass Hurricane Candleholder
Thsi product is fabulous!
Love the size and the quality of this piece. Looks great in my dining room. So glad i made this purchase!
July 31, 2013
Too Expensive to Rust!!!
I love the look of the candleholder and wanted to use it in my garden along with the shorter, rounder one.
I do not recall from the description that it said for indoor use only or it you get it wet, you'd better dry it quick.
It rusts badly. After leaving out one night in the rain, I look at it & saw it is rusting at the points where the handle meet the ring around the opening. So, I cannot use this outside unless I am willing to bring in everytime the weather is threatening. Now I have to go to hardware store & find rust remover that will work without damaging the rest of the hurricane. Pros: Very large, pretty in sunlight. Haven't had a chance to put a candle in and see it lit- it's been raining!!! Really wish it didn't rust!!!

17 February 2010, Bucharest - Advent International, the global private equity firm, announced today that it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Centrul Medical Unirea (CMU), a leading chain of medical clinics in Romania, from the private equity company 3i and the founders of the business. The value of the deal was undisclosed. The transaction is subject to Romanian Competition Council merger control approval.
CMU provides ambulatory and inpatient medical services through a network of 19 clinics (11 in Bucharest and eight clinics in four other large cities), the maternity Regina Maria, and a surgery unit.
CMU was founded in 1995 by Dr. Wargha Enayati, a German born cardiologist. It has since built a reputable business providing medical services to companies for their employees and to fee-for-service patients. The range of services provided expanded continuously. In addition to corporate subscriptions and ambulatory primary and specialty care, this now includes imaging diagnostics (MRI, CT), stem cells bank and hospital treatments. CMU estimates revenues of €21 million for 2010.
Emma Popa-Radu, Managing Director at Advent International, who led the investment, said: "We regard CMU as a solid platform for expansion at a national level in the fast-growing private medical services market. We will continue to support the development that the Executive Founder, Dr. Wargha Enayati, and his management team have planned in order to drive growth across ambulatory and hospital units. We are also pursuing add-on acquisitions, consistent with our strategy of buy-and-build in fragmented industries."
"We plan to draw upon our significant resources and expertise from our international investments in healthcare services in order to support the accelerated growth of CMU."
Advent International has been investing in the healthcare sector for over 25 years and has invested in more than 30 healthcare companies worldwide in a broad range of sub-sectors, including pharmaceuticals, healthcare services and medical devices. Investments in healthcare services in particular include MEDIAN Kliniken, a leading rehabilitation care provider in Germany, Craegmoor Healthcare, UK's largest independent provider of specialist care for adults and Casa Reha, a leading nursing home group in Germany.
Wargha Enayati, CMU's Executive Founder said:"We have admired Advent International's professional approach for some time and are excited by the prospect of working alongside them. Advent's healthcare sector expertise coupled with its capability to rapidly deploy resources locally will be extremely valuable as we continue to integrate new acquisitions, open ambulatory and hospital units and launch new medical services. We are confident that CMU will receive strong support from Advent as we continue to expand."
