Welcome! If you are new to the Kitchens Forum, you may find the following information and links helpful.
The Kitchen Forum Acronyms will help you understand some of the acronyms used frequently in posts. The Finished Kitchens Blog has pictures and information about many GW members' finished kitchens. Not only can you see them alphabetically, but you can also use the "Find-A-Kitchen" function to utilize several search options if you're looking for specific things like a kitchen w/a Beverage Center or a kitchen w/a mix of dark and light cabinets. Access "Find-A-Kitchen" via the via the menu bar at the top of any FKB page. Additionally, "Find-A-Kitchen" contains a link to "In-Progress Kitchens" for those members' kitchens that are not quite ready for the FKB. There is also a link to "Coming Soon Kitchens" for those kitchens that are ready for the FKB but have not yet been added. To access the "In-Progress Kitchens", the "Coming Soon Kitchens", and the "FKB Categories", see the links on the menu bar at the top of any FKB page. The Appliances Forum is very useful when you have questions specific to appliances. To start off the kitchen remodel process...take the Sweeby Test. Then, move on to Beginning a Kitchen Plan. Other topics such as layouts, planning for storage, and stone materials are discussed in later topics in this thread. Even more information can be found by doing a search on the forum. Tips:
Discussions: This is the "side" you are on. It is for on-topic discussions concerning kitchens...renovations, use of, etc. Conversations: This is the "side" where you can post off topic threads such as regional get-togethers and non-kitchen subjects. Gallery: This is the "side" where members often post pictures...especially if you're posting a lot or a finished kitchen. |
Follow-Up Postings:
To make this thread more readable and to make it easier to find a specific topic, I have created separate threads for each topic and just point/link to them from here. We will continue to bump this thread, but not the other threads I created. Please, do not bump the "subject" threads I will be linking to from here. We do not want to flood the first page with all those threads. To do so would knock threads from members asking for help, etc. off the first page and would be counter-productive! |
http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg010437444278.html Note that the topic in the link above describes how to post multiple links in a thread as well as describes how to use the GW "link" function. The GW "link" function is fine if you only have one link to post. However, if you have multiple links to post, the topic above will tell you how to do that as well. |
Please click below to see the "Posting Pictures" topic: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0213484417254.html Note that the topic in the link above describes how to post multiple pictures in a thread and does not use the GW "image" function. The GW "image" function is limited and in most cases is insufficient for our use. One other note...with the redesign of the Forum, pictures do not always display properly. All we can suggest is that you play around with various sizes/setting. |
The following thread contains the information we need to help you find a layout that works for you and your family as well as how to draw up and label a floor plan. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg010521247761.html http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0508230128712.html When you post a layout for comments, please do not take the comments you receive personally. Everyone here is trying to help, not criticize maliciously. We want you to have a kitchen that, in the end, functions wonderfully well and looks nice overall. This may mean that some of us may tear apart your layout and rebuild it to what we think will work better, but it's done with good intentions. We're not the best at just "validating" someones layout, we're best at critiquing! I will warn you that most of us here are "function over form" (or "function first")...meaning we strive first for a functional layout and then fit the form or look around it. It is far easier to make a functional kitchen look nice than it is to make a nice looking but dysfunctional kitchen functional. So, if you are a form/looks over function person, be sure to state that when you post. Some people here think "function over form" means that we want all kitchens to look the same....not true! What we do want is all kitchens to function well...which means that in 99% of the cases, the workflow is the same...so that will mean some similarities due to workflow. However, as each kitchen is unique, each will have its own unique quirks, etc. In the end, remember this is your kitchen. You don't have to make any of the recommended changes if you don't want to! [Note: If you're just posting for validation of your layout (i.e., you don't want comments that suggest changes), state that as well. If you don't, people will comment on it! Warning: People may comment anyway, it's tough to let a kitchen go that you think is dysfunctional and will cause angst later...especially if it's not yet installed and we think we can help. Bear with us, we're just trying to help!] |

Bookmarking threads so you can find them later or saving them so you have them (and associated pictures) ''forever'' http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0105292031876.html Note: As of Summer 2012, iVillage changed the thread lists & history functionality so that old threads can be resurrected. However, once a thread falls off of page 67, you will still need the URL of that thread to bring it back up. What has changed is that now if you bump the thread, it will re-appear in the list of threads. While this may be useful for some, it does have the potential for pushing newer threads with more recent information and those asking for help off the first few pages faster. I would like to ask everyone to use discretion in resurrecting old threads. Yes, some have a lot of useful information, but I would like to suggest we create a "Library" of such threads as part of the FAQ rather than bringing them back to the thread list. |

Bump for old times sake. Tea you are doing a lot of lifting here ;) Edited to add a few pictures of my new soapstone sink project. This is for the "west" bathroom. Also showing off a skill I learned from this thread in posting pictures, several years back. |

Bump. I just read this for the first time finally after stalking this site for the past several months. Seriously, this should be required reading. I wish there was some way to measure all the help and inspiration you have provided on here, Buehl. I have, without a doubt, personally benefitted. The kitchen I'm going to be building is an entirely different shape and layout because of the collective wisdom of you and several others on here. And even though it's only on paper at this point, I am 99.9% sure that it's a much better design than I could have EVER come up without you. |

Welcome to all you new bump-ers and welcome back to Angie_DIY. Glad you're here! Bump to keep it going. |
I'm bumping this early because I can't seem to time it right, and I have to say HI to Angie-DIY, and thank Tea4all for your bump'n performance. I am heading down to the shop to work on my sink. I have a new router. The old one was not up to the task with this harder stone. I went to use the old router on the hard SS, after varifying the bit was sharp with last years softer SS, and it fell apart, the router that is. I don't think it was the stone that made it fall apart. DH, ever the penny pincher, tried to put it back together. I tried to help. Then I said "I'm going to the Woodsmith's Shop to get a new router!" I live in the country, so 15 minutes into my trip DH calls me to tell me he's got it fixed. I turn around and I call back to my peeps at the Woodsmith's Shop to cancel my arrival. I had wanted to pick up a router before they closed so I had called ahead to give them warning. So, I get home and tried the router. And yes, it spun just fine, but it wouldn't cut through a banana. Too late that night, but the next day DH and I went to the Shop and found Terry who was going to help me with a router. He laughed and said "I new you'd be back". To work this harder stone, I ripped 4 tracks 1/2 depth of material in the 5/8" width of my dado and rabbets. Now I hope my new router will take out the weakened area. Safety glasses, check; protective gloves, check; ear protection, check. Anyway BUMP! |

Enduring I appreciate your thanks. Buehl's compilation of information is way too helpful to let it go by the wayside. I have returned to it many times because I don't seem to remember things as well as when I was younger. Besides, newbies especially need it. Trying to search GW can be frustrating. I enjoy your sink updates Enduring! You go girl! It will be another fantastic sink. Your stone is beautiful! A late night bump. Oops---an early morning bump here. Goodnight all. |

Old bumper here! Well, I'm not really old....although lately I do feel that way. My 3.5 year old is killing me with her snotty attitude, language and oppositional-ness. She's acting developmentally appropriately, but she's giving me gray hair by the dozens. Nice to be back and to BUMPA! |
Welcome Breezy! I have been wondering how you have been doing. Your absence is felt. Sorry for the trials of mothering a 3 and 1/2 yr old. Been there, done that. Even though my boys are 26 and 30, I still remember the exhaustion and frustration of those young years. You have lived through this before with your older kids so you know it will eventually pass. Hang in there. Virtual hugs to you! Someday that child will rise up and call you Blessed. Annie Chapman sang a song years ago about rough days when a mother of young children just wants to be a survivor. It always encouraged me. |
On the road, in Wisconsin, going up to Lake Superior, for a open ended 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 day road trip with DH. Cat and horse chores assigned. Had wonderful beer in a micro brewery and listened to some fun fiddle music. Sat next to a very fun couple from the area and talked about world travel. Got to do that some day soon:) Hi Breezy! Bump. |

Do any of you know a good website I can look at for different design ideas for potagers? |

Rosalind Creasy has books on the French Garden and Italian Garden, both of which I bought at Amazon.com. They are paperback and with many color pictures. They were reasonably priced as I recall, about $15 American each. They're in storage right now waiting for our house to be built. There is also a beautiful website called Allthingsfrench.com that has wonderful pictures and information by an American living in France. She has gorgeous pictures on potagers and espellier (spelling?)and unique French items. Villandry has a website you've probably seen if you've googled the word 'potager'. There is also a well-known landscaper here in the US, P. Allen Smith, who has a beautiful book on building his home(actually he had it moved to the site) and gardens. He was very much inspired by English estate and cottage gardens, but his designs have that bountiful veg and flower feel. I don't think potagers are well known here in the US. I've not seen one referred to as such anyway. I would love to hear about your plans for a potager. |
Thanks for that. I'll take a look. I live on a hill with a norwest aspect (perfect here) and below the house have a 10ft sq flat piece that I plan to build a potager on. I have designed it in a circle. There will be a full circle in the middle (about 3ft3 in diameter) and paths will divide the outer very large circle in to 5 sections. It will look rather like a wheel. The paths that represent the spokes will be 6ft6 long. Quite big really. I have just bought 900 old bricks to build the walls with - I will make them 4 bricks in height so that the sections are raised beds. I want to see if anyone else has done anything similar. It's a pity I don't have a scanner, I could scan my drawing for all to see!!! |

Hello, Spidey. At my blogsite www.sharingthyme.blogspot.com, see a drawing of my relatively new potager garden design and list of the great design reference books and websites I used. There is my detail text describing each step taken in my posting 'Design and Construction'. LEt us know what you decide upon. My potager is coming along, not completed, but a wonderful deisng and discovery journey...plants get expensive. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sharing Thyme
I just got "The Ornamental Vegetable Garden" by Diane Anthony - it is a wonderful book just full of pictures and ideas. |
Spider, did you build the garden with the bricks? Would love to see pics. |

It speaks volumes that President Obama extended just such a rare invitation to India's new prime minister, Narendra Modi. read »

I guess since it's 70% de-alcoholized beer this forum is ok. Anyone try this? I saw it on the shelf at my Wegman's, and since my goal is to drink everything containing beer, I had to pick one up. Chilling in the fridge, will try tomorrow. I don't have high expectations.
Let us know how it tasted.
It's actually pretty good. Tastes a bit like lemony ginger ale. Not lemon lime like Sprite. You can taste the beer underneath, a bit like PBR. Zero head. Mouth feel is lightly carbonated low sugar soda, if that makes sense. As a non-alcoholic beer, it would suck. As a specialty soda with a beer backbone, it's refreshing. My parents don't drink beer ever, but I think they would like this, since they like funky beverages. I liked it enough I might try some of their other stuff.

Review: Even Heroes Need A Parachute
Posted on January 11 2010
By Melissa Brown This Beautiful Republic captures listener's attention with their debut album, Even Heroes Need a Parachute (Forefront). A hard rock sound, driving beats and guitar rifts grab your ear and keeps your attention throughout the entire album, which is filled with surprising maturity, both musically and lyrically, for a debut album.
The album, produced by Allen Salmon, who has worked with popular artists Sanctus Real and Mute Math, provides the listener with a glimpse of the heart of the band. Not afraid to be honest, This Beautiful Republic tackles issues such as dark times with God in "Cloud Cover". This song cries out to God asking "Is there a chance for me if I have your love?" The song asks God to speak and gives the illustration of God being sun bleeding through cloud cover. The melodic song, "New Year" speaks about coming back to Christ, "giving Him all your love this time". Listeners are challenged to look at how they reach and live out their faith when things are crashing down, like during a plane crash, in the song "Black Box".
Even Heroes Need a Parachute is defined by the catchy choruses' that stick in your head and have you singing along. While listening, one can picture him or her self punching their fist in time with the music at a concert and lifting his or her voice to God. This concert-like aspect of the album makes any place an instant concert whether in your car, office or the shower for the low cost of one CD.

It's not the first time Allen Blickle's remixed Surfer Blood — we posted his "Swim" remix a few months back. This remix appears on Surfer Blood's "Floating Vibes" single, out August 24. It's still a little surprising that a member of Baroness would remix this band, but it's not as surprising as how jangly and pop this remix is. There's a single bass synth note that's threatening and rumbly, but the rest is tambourine and swirling keyboards — the sugary lead hook Blickle comes up with should end up on any future live performances of "Twin Peaks." Hear it:
The "Floating Vibes" single is out 8/24 via Kanine Records.

PART 2 ...Mistakes, Mistakes, Mistakes.... oh my
posted by: tinker_2006 on 05.23.2008 at 07:38 pm in Building a Home Forum As I said before, our build WAS going so smooth, and now as we approach the finish line - I am STRESSED!
We did have the builder rip out the fireplace, and had it lower, specifying once again - we wanted it just like the model home. The foreman ripped it out, and didn't even speak to us on that day when we went to the job site - he was fuming! He re-framed the opening and lowered the firebox. When we went the next day, it visually was way different, and he said it is now the exact height of the model, and asked if we also wanted to lower the mantel. It was 64" I looked up the average and the average seemed to be 58"... model home was 59". We told him yes, make it 59-60". fast forward.... the fireplace was bricked today and It STILL is 2" higher than the models, and the Mantel is 61"!!! I am a bit ticked, as I really would have thought that this foreman would have measured and double checked it. I am NOT going to force the issue, as it does look a lot better to us, and I hope that it looks 'okay' and more normal to everyone else. Sigh... what do you think - here is the before and after photo's. Now... for the granite island top, which I thought there would be no questions about fixing because they made the wrong edge.. we are in a battle. The GC says he is in the middle, and we need to attempt to work it out with the fabricator. We paid and upgrade to have a fancy edge (bullnose with a ogee on top) but they want to charge US another $600 to just remove the laminated (straight edge (they did a straight with an ogee on top). I am so angry!! They don't have another slab, and there is a chance it will break as they try to remove it (and in the end - it will only be an ogee edge - no refund on the product I didn't get). The salesman is LYING to his boss, and admitted he didn't remember OR write it down! They seem unwilling to budge.. our builder will not pay, as he was not involved in any communication, and I am unwilling to pay.. DH thinks the top looks okay. I think it looks thick and bulky. Here is a picture of it, which they delivered to the house assuming we would accept. We are suppose to close on Friday.. this is stressing me!! This is HOW the edge was suppose to look: finally - the ceiling... I am feeling like it too is a lost cause. They really think I am the one who "keeps changing her mind" and that "there has been so many changes"... I am entitled to change my mind, and I have ALWAYS sent an email regarding any changes. I always feel better once coming here and posting! TIA NOTES: <none>

Lyptus flooring pics
posted by: fishpants on 08.03.2007 at 01:23 am in Building a Home Forum I know alot of people haven't heard much about Lyptus (eucalyptus) flooring, so thought I'd share.
The installers finished today. I have to go in tomorrow and get it covered up, so took some quick pics tonight. Can't give any reviews on wear and tear yet, obviously, but I will say that I cannot stop grinning every time I look at the stuff. I am SO glad I went with this rather than hickory like I was originally planning. I think the Lyptus fits our house better. The hearth is set up, but we still need to finish assembling the whole mantel deal: We have the flooring in the great room, down the hall to the master bdr, and then a small 'shelf' area in the stairwell where there's a window (ie: dust catcher).

A special committee on hunting on county park land determined that all firearms should not be allowed on county park property. Robert Forman acted as the PRAC (Parks and Rec Advisory Commission) hunt committee spokesman and indicated the current ordinance had loopholes.
"The county does have an ordinance of discharging firearms in the parks…but those who have at least two acres of land are allowed to hunt on their own property," Foreman said. What's to prevent a hunter to shoot from his land into park property to kill wild game?
Since the Federal government allows hunting in their parks and the Commonwealth of Virginia allows hunting in their parks, should these governmental bodies not take precedence over local government?
Foreman said the committee did decide that firearms were not appropriate for hunting in county parks but said that the ordinance should be tightened up and the loopholes closed.
However, Foreman and his committee determined that since bow hunting was less dangerous, the weapons should be allowed to be used in county parks during the appropriate hunting season. But Foreman said that blog posts favored a ban on hunting on park land and those who signed an online petition "but not necessarily inconclusively determining the public sentiment."
Four-hundred-twenty-one signed the online petition indicating hunting of any type should be banned in Chesterfield public parks; 128 signers were from out of the county.
Foreman made three motions in favor of bow hunting on county park lands.
Motion No.1 requested bow hunting be allowed if specified parks met certain criteria and permission of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, as well as permission from the Chesterfield Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
Motion No. 2 recommended a pilot project at the Dutch Gap Conservation Area. Once the Dutch Gap pilot project was deemed successful, the Swift Creek and Brown and Williamson Conservation Areas (once public access and parking had been completed) would be added after the pilot program had been evaluated.
Motion No. 3 Once the actions Motions one and two had been completed, there would be a permanent hunting committee formed within PRAC. The hunting committee would then assist Parks and Rec in implementing the pilot program.
PRAC voted four to four on the motions which required the PRAC chairman to cast the tie breaking vote. Chairman Ron Maxey voted against the motions and PRACs recommendation that hunting of any kind would remain restricted in county parks.
The Board of Supervisor could revive the concept at a later date.

This is my HG, "can't live without" serum. I have been using it faithfully for about 10 years. I am now 36, and can still pass for 24 (yes; I've fooled them!). I'm not saying it's due to this serum, but this stuff certainly helps. It was originally recommended by my derm (who has since retired), but I am able to find it for so much cheaper elsewhere. I use it religiously every morning, followed by a broad-spectrum sunscreen - every single day. I am a beauty product junkie, and this is the ONLY product that I have continued repurchase again and again over the years, and I can't see myself ever stopping. The consistency is very liquid so it absorbs easily into your skin, and it does smell like oranges (though that doesn't bother me at all). In very dry weather, I layer a very light moisturizer before the sunscreen, but most of the time all I use is this serum and a light sunscreen and I'm set for the day. I highly recommend this stuff, and pray that they never ever stop making it!!

I've been using this serum for about a year and a half and I really like it. I don't have a lot of experience with serums, in fact, it is the only one i have ever purchased. The other ones I've used have been during facials I think. I don't have much to compare it with but nevertheless I'm really happy with how glowy this makes my skin. Since I've started using it along with Elta MD clear sunscreen I've had the best skin of my life and normally my skin is not good. I've repurchased a couple times already.
I have used this product for roughly 16 years. YES you heard me right. I am about to turn 44 , when I was around 27 my skin went from fair and basically flawless to flushing, pustules and swelling. A dermatologist recommended this product to me for my newly diagnosed rosacea. I'm not sure why or how but this product healed my skin. I had a friend with the same skin condition who claimed it did not help her rosacea. Perhaps you need to have sticktooitevness when it comes to this serum. Not only is my rosacea undetectable except for extremely hot or cold weather flares, vitamin C is known for its ability to promote collagen growth in skin. I have very few wrinkles, minimal sagging and clear skin. I believe I owe it to more than a decades worth of faithful use of this serum. Don't buy from a dermatologist they will charge you an unfair price for this product. Do your research and you will find this for a moderate yet I believe fair price for such a great product.
I know how hard skin conditions can be, especially those of the face, if this review helps only a few....I would be so pleased.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use Vitamin C serums as part of my antioxidant/brightening routine, and I read rave reviews about this serum. I have tried loads of other Vitamin C serums and have noticed that the consistency of the product can either be like a toner (Skinceuticals) or a runny gel (Ole Henriksen Truth Serum.) This has the runny gel consistency, so I wasn't too thrilled w/that aspect. However, it's absorbed by the skin pretty easily, so you don't have to wait to put on your moisturizer or sunscreen that long. It also has a slight citrus smell, which is not off-putting in itself, but my Vitamin C products don't have to "smell" like Vitamin C. As far as brightening affects, I didn't really notice any improvement after 2-3 of using this, so I've switched back to my Skinceuticals phloretin cf serum.

Overview - Hosea 4 | |
1 | God denounces judgments on Israel, for their aggravated impieties and iniquities. |
12 | He exposes the ignorance and wickedness of the priests, and profligacy of the people, he will leave their wives and daughters to commit lewdness, without present punishment. |
15 | He warns Judah, not to imitate Israel's crimes, which are still further reproved. |
Hosea 4:6 (King James Version)
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

I've found that to be good advice, because when you're preparing this dish, the eggs sometimes scramble instead of fusing into the sauce, a snafu that can be avoided if you remember to take the pan off the heat when adding the eggs. Aside from the instruction about keeping people out of the kitchen, Wells's recipe is pretty similar to Roe's, but the Dazzle chef also adds onion and deglazes his pan with white wine, which gives the sauce an added depth that's lacking in Wells's version. When Dazzle's kitchen makes carbonara, it uses a pound of pancetta and a large onion for the base, which serves as the starter for ten orders; I altered the recipe for two people and came up with the following:
Theo Roe's Classic Spaghetti Carbonara
1/4 pound of pancetta, diced
1 small onion, minced
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup cream
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 pound spaghetti or linguine
1 egg, at room temperature and beaten
4 Tbsp. Parmigiano-Reggiano, Asiago or other grana-type cheese
2 Tbsp. minced fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
1620 Wazee St.
Denver, CO 80202
Category: Restaurant > Asian
Region: Downtown Denver
Place the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat and render until crisp. Remove pancetta and reserve, leaving the fat in the pan. Add the onion, cover and let sweat until soft and translucent. Add wine and deglaze the pan, scraping to pull up any pancetta scraps and residue; simmer until wine is reduced by half. Add cream and butter and reduce until mixture thickens, being careful not to let it boil. Meanwhile, bring three quarts of water to a roiling boil and add pasta; cook until al dente. Drain thoroughly. Add pasta and at least half of the reserved pancetta (or more, if preferred) to the skillet, stirring to combine. Remove pan from heat and quickly whip in the egg, being sure that all of the pasta is evenly coated. Finish with cheese and parsley. Serves two.
A real corker: After Pinots, Roe's former kitchen at 410 Seventh Avenue, closed, Jason and Vanessa Helfrich moved in and opened JV's The Cork. In the early days, JV's kitchen suffered from staff problems and production glitches. But recently, trusted friends told me that things were better--so I made those friends put their money where their stomachs are, and they treated me to a wonderful meal at the restaurant. Wonderful not because it was free, but because JV's has indeed settled down and come into its own.
The place was packed, and once I'd tasted the tamale-style Red River trout ($15.95), I knew why. The kitchen took trout fillet and stuffed it with corn, cilantro and roasted bell and hot peppers, then wrapped it in a corn husk and roasted it until everything coalesced into a Southwestern dream; lime essence and smoked tomatoes injected a gourmet quality. Despite all the competing elements, the trout still managed to make its presence known. JV's also did right by a much more basic menu item that's perfect for the casual, neighborhood feel of this restaurant: burgers. My friends, who are big fans of JV's burgers, ordered the Ultimate Carnivore Burger ($7.95), a half-pounder with applewood-smoked bacon, a mostly sweet barbecue sauce and melted cheddar, and the Black & Blue ($7.95), a smart combo of the same juicy beef encrusted with cracked peppercorns and gooey gorgonzola.
Service had never been a problem at this restaurant, and with those production glitches solved, I've now put JV's on my list of places to go for good food in a comfortable atmosphere.
Open-and-shut cases: After many, many delays, Radek Cerny of Cherry Creek's Papillon Cafe (250 Josephine) is getting ready to open RADEX in early November, right around the corner from Dazzle, at Ninth and Lincoln. Since its heyday as the Paradise Cafe in the early Eighties, this location has gone through many incarnations; maybe Cerny can break the recent jinx. Plans for the space at 1434 Blake Street, the home of the defunct LoDo institution City Spirit, have also gone through some stops and starts, but Andrew's Pub & Lounge is finally set to open its doors this week.
Open-and-shut-up cases: You'd think BD's Mongolian Barbeque had cooked this up to get free press, but calls keep coming in about my recent items on the impending eatery at 1620 Blake Street. Mr. Grumpy, who's apparently still afraid to leave his name and number, called to give the name of a longtime Mongolian-barbecue-serving restaurant mentioned in the October 8 Mouthing Off: Mongolian Barbeque, at 7555 East Arapahoe Road. Grumpy thought there might have been one on Colorado Boulevard, too. Maybe it was the place that Sam Arnold, owner of The Fort in Morrison, called to say had held down the fort in the University Hills shopping center fifteen or twenty years ago. "As I recollect, we cooked our own there," Arnold says. "There might have been a man there to help you out, but I don't think so."

Rocketcat Games' titles have been a unique presence on the App Store. While many pixel art games exist on iOS, theirs have had a special look and feel to them that just hasn't been matched by others.
Also, gnomes. Lots of gnomes.
I spoke to Kepa Auwae, who is in charge of "Planning, Business Stuff, Design" and is the public voice for Rocketcat Games, and was previously a registered nurse before Hook Champ allowed the him and the studio to make games full-time. We discuss why their titles remain so unique, the future of the studio, and just why we don't hear from the other two members of Rocketcat.
148Apps: There are a lot of pixel art games on the App Store, but Rocketcat Games seems to have a voice and style all its own with games that have attracted a loyal fan base. What do you attribute this to?
Kepa Auwae: Our games have a pretty clear voice, probably because there's so few people working on them and everyone contributes. I think it's also easier to build a fan base when you're working on a small niche that others don't really touch. There's not a lot of people making our sorts of games on iOS, with our level of difficulty and scope.
148Apps: Your grappling hook games (Hook Champ, Super QuickHook, and Hook Worlds) are actually only a few titles using the grappling hook mechanic at all on mobile. Is this due to the challenge of using the mechanic well?
Auwae: It turns out that level design was really difficult for our grappling hook games. The placement of every bit of ceiling was important to the flow of the level. It's kind of like designing a level for a platformer, except imagine you control each leg and you'll trip if you don't step on the floor exactly right.
As for how few games use the genre, I think it's mostly just how genres work for videogames. You need a huge hit to really provide incentive to cloners on a big scale.
148Apps: Reminisce back to the time of Hook Champ and its cosmetic IAP. How did the response and reaction from people then compare to the reaction you got for the IAP in Punch Quest? How have your fans responded to your evolution in titles you've released?
Auwae: We get as many complaints about Hook series IAP, still, as we get complaints about Punch Quest IAP. And because the Hook games are out longer, we have a bigger amount of complaints total. It's bizarre, since the Hook IAP was almost entirely cosmetic, hats and such.
That said, we didn't get many complaints about the Punch Quest IAP at all. I think fans knew that we were trying to do things right. Trying to anyway, I'm not happy with how the design in Punch Quest turned out. In the future, I'd like to completely avoid the concept of people paying to skip in-game progression.
148Apps: Your games have largely been core-gamer-friendly genres; do you see your future mobile titles going down this path, if you even have a future on mobile at all?
Auwae: It would make a lot more sense to make casual-friendly games, as the "core-gamer" type of games we make take big amounts of time to work on. This next one we're releasing, our randomly-generated action-adventure game, is getting to the 2-year mark. These are the types of games we're interested in making, even if it doesn't add up from a business standpoint.
Our plan for the future is to release on multiple platforms, especially PC. The big differences are that there's a much bigger audience for such games there, and you can feasibly charge more than $5 per copy. Definitely not leaving mobile, any game that makes sense on iOS will be developed simultaneously for it. As an example, I'm starting work on a project with the Punch Quest developer (Paul "Madgarden" Pridham), and that's being worked on for both PC and iOS so we can make sure the controls and graphics are perfect on both platforms.
148Apps: You, Kepa Auwae, have served largely as the public voice of the company. Who are the other members of Rocketcat, and why do you keep their voices silent? Do they even exist?! Or are they actually gnomes?
Auwae: There's Jeremy Orlando (Programmer) and Brandon Rhodes (Artist). All three of us are incredibly shy. We had to pick which one of us would have to interact with everyone. I'm not better equipped to talk to anyone, it's just that I lost when we drew straws. After a few years I'm now ok at the whole "public voice" thing. Also they're gnomes and I'm really ashamed of that.
Thanks to Kepa Auwae for his time; it's truly appreciated.

Boys basketball: Teammates back up Larry Crisler as Noll stays unbeaten
By Tommy Williams Post-Tribune correspondent December 15, 2012 11:26PM
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:51AM
LAKE STATION — Ah, the benefits of having a deep roster.
A perfect case-in-point was Noll in its 65-47 win over Lake Station on Saturday night, a game in which the Warriors' top player, Larry Crisler, didn't start and got into foul trouble. But Noll managed to stay unbeaten.
When Crisler made his initial appearance, it was with 5:30 left in the first quarter and Lake Station leading 7-5. He scored nine first-quarter points to help the Warriors (5-0) take a 22-14 lead. That lead got even bigger after Crisler picked up his third foul and had to sit again at the 4:04 mark of the second quarter.
"We started a little sloppy and we turned the ball over 10 times in the first half," Noll coach Drew Trost said. "We may have gotten caught up in the crowd, which if you have a young team that could happen. We couldn't seem to put them away which is a credit to them."
What damage Crisler didn't do, and he did plenty with 18 points, teammate Tyeron Gates did, also adding 18.
"We got the job done but it was a little rough. Lake Station is very fiesty," said Crisler, who didn't start because of an illness that led to him missing a practice. "Gates kept us in the game."
He had help though, with Matt Sandoval pitching in with 13 points, including three treys against a scrappy Eagles team that did its coach proud in defeat.
"I thought we played hard. I asked my kids to give every thing you have for 32 minutes," Lake Station coach Robert Burke said. "The shots weren't falling and you'll have those nights, but as coaches we have to make sure we're prepared for them the next time. I'd love to get another shot at them."
Elias Williams had a team-high 13 for the Eagles (2-2 with a two-game losing streak) while Kody Lemley added 12.

Now a fruit farm. The building dates from the 17th century.
No specific records have been found of this pub and it doesn't appear on OS maps as far back as 1886, so it probably closed a long time ago. Interestingly, though this location is now known as Black Horse Farm, this name only dates from the 1950s; before that it was Barber's Farm.
Could it perhaps not have been a pub but the Black Horse Farm name has been extrapolated to assume a pub?

Here we are, then: the first in the series of user-generated topics. Glacial Till writes:
I think a post on your blogging history would be cool. What led you to blogging? Who are your inspirations and such.Oh, my. Let's see if I can remember back that far…
Got me start on LiveJournal, actually, many years ago, babbling about writing with and for some excellent writerly friends. Started me own (now-defunct) website after a bit, still writing on writing, but this was the height of the Bush regime and so some political rants crept in as my liberal tendencies were unleashed. Because friends had forced me to sign up for a MySpace account and because it was easier to blog there, I migrated for a bit – you can still see it here, if you're that bored.
And those, you might say, are the prequels to ETEV. So why did this blog start?
Because I couldn't take it any more.
The rampant political stupidity that made me want to howl from the rooftops. The rampant IDiots, running about mucking up biology education and making hideous movies like Expelled. Not to mention all of the other rank stupidity stampeding through the world. MySpace wasn't a good platform for the full-throated rants necessary to counter it.
PZ's the one who inspired me to start this blog, and to celebrate science upon it despite the fact I'm no more than an interested layperson. This post, right here, is one you should go read right now, because it explains everything this blog became.
Well, nearly. Getting adopted by the rock stars of geology set ETEV on a whole new course. Somehow, it had evolved from a foul-mouthed baby blog focused on political stupidity with a smattering of science into something that geobloggers recognized as one of their own, even if I couldn't see that. But they inspired me to work me arse off delivering the goods. And that's fostered my interest in science, which feeds back into my writing, and ever onward in an endless circle.
This is still very much an amateur effort. Someday, maybe even sooner than I expect, I'll make the leap into full-time professional writing. And I'll get there because of the bloggers like PZ and Bora who showed me the importance of this medium, and the geobloggers and other science bloggers who showed me that all it takes is hard work and passion to write something worthy of reading. But they're only part of the equation. I'll get there because of the inspiration provided by my favorite authors and fellow fiction writers/bloggers like Nicole.
I'll get there because of my readers. Yes, you – the one sitting there reading this post right now. Without you, do you think any of this would be possible? Do you think I'd still be dedicating so much time and effort to these pages, if it wasn't for you? Without you, I'd spend that time in front of the teevee, or tucked in bed with an improving book, or practicing karate with the cat, when I wasn't struggling on alone with a very difficult fiction novel. And I'd be less of a writer because of it. Not to mention, I wouldn't have half the motivation to go out and have adventures and take the very best pictures I can.
So, dear reader, when you ask where my inspiration comes from, the very first thing you should do is go find a mirror.
And now I shall take the opportunity to give a special shout-out to my geoblogging inspirations. I read more geoblogs than I list here, but these are the folks who, combined, form the star I revolve around. In no particular order, then:
Silver Fox at Looking for Detachment
Lockwood DeWitt at Outside the Interzone
Glacial Till at Glacial Till
Ron Schott at Geology Home Companion
Brian Romans at Clastic Detritus
Ann Jefferson and Chris Rowan at Highly Allochthonous
Dan McShane at Reading the Washington Landscape
Wayne Ranney at Earthly Musings
Elli Goeke at Life in Plane LightI want to mention four bloggers in particular who have provided more support, encouragement, and food for thought over the years than I ever expected. They're fantastic bloggers and even more fantastic friends:
Cujo at Slobber and Spittle
George at Decrepit Old Fool
Suzanne at Two Ton Green Blog
Woozle at The Hypertwins Memorial High-Energy Children Supercollider Laboratory and Research Center for the Inhumanities. Okay, so it's not technically a blog, but who cares? Especially with a name like that!A special shout-out to the man who made me believe in bloggers, and who got me thinking and writing about politics so many years ago: Steve Benen at The Washington Monthly. Before him, I didn't really take blogs seriously. He's an incredible talent, a wonderful human being, and still the one political blog I turn to when I haven't got time for more.
And, finally, a very special shout-out to Karen, whose comments have so often given me that much needed prod in the arse necessary to keep me going. How I wish you'd start a blog!
Impostor Syndrome
So, there's this thing I've been struggling with for a while, now. Stephanie Zvan left me this comment:
Please do me a favor. Take your Sunset Crater post and another one that you love, and go promote yourself at Ed's. His pool needs widening, and it'll be good practice for you. :)At Ed's? This Ed's? Holy impossible missions, Batwoman!
I went there. I looked at some posts and some comments, and then I fled like a right bloody coward. I mean, you are talking to the woman who freaked out when the geobloggers claimed me for their own. I spent days going to ScienceSeeker.org when they called for blog submissions, reading down the list of member blogs every night, trying to picture myself there and failing miserably. You know why ETEV's up there now? It's because Chris Rowan submitted the All-geo feed, which for some inexplicable reason I am on. It sure as shit wasn't because I took my courage in my hand. Couldn't find it. Maybe never would have.
You see, I'm a layperson. I troubleshoot phones for a living, people. I'm not in college, and when I was, I was a bloody history major. I don't have undergrad or grad student creds, I'm not a scientist, not a professional science writer, and I got my start on the intertoobz as a potty-mouthed political blogger. So when people consider me part of the science blogging universe, I get this feeling like I'm a miniature pony trying to run in the Kentucky Derby.
Tiny Horse is Tiny Yes, my darlings, I am suffering from Impostor Syndrome. Big time.
Couple that with a native dislike of promoting myself to anyone at all for any reason, and you can see why it's a bit difficult for me to do anything so bold as to saunter over to Ed's and say, "Oy, I'm leaving links to two of my totally awesome posts."
What it comes right down to, I think, is that I've got this feeling that it's not for me to judge. I could strut about believing myself to be the greatest writer evah, I could shout from the rooftops how incredibly awesome I am, but that wouldn't make it so. It's not for me to judge. It's up to my readers. They're the only ones qualified to judge the worthiness of my words. And when they deem something of mine worthy of their time and attention, I'm so shocked by it that I just sit paralyzed, wondering "How the fuck did that happen?" It doesn't occur to me to then go forth and shout from the rooftops, "Oy – my readers have deemed me a decent read! Y'all are missing out!"
Then again, if I fall to the ground wailing, "I'm not worthy!" when the geoblogging superstars decide that, despite short legs and a silly-looking forelock, I'm welcome to run with them, that's rather an insult to them, innit? When incredible bloggers like Stephanie Zvan tell me I should go strut some stuff, isn't it a little rude to say, "Um, no"? What a dilemma!
(Makes me worry about what shall happen should I achieve fame and fortune as an SF writer. I'm afraid I'll be hunched down behind the table at book signings suffering from terminal embarrassment.)
And I put this out there not because I'm looking for sympathy and assurance – I'm not that neurotic, and you don't owe me a damned thing. I'm spilling my guts because I know I'm not the only one. I've run into plenty of people suffering Impostor Syndrome, and I know it's desperately difficult to overcome. I haven't done it yet. But the road to recovery begins with listening to your readers. When I, as a reader, leave a comment telling a blogger that something they've written has moved me, I'm not doing it because I'm trying to bolster their self-esteem. I'm saying it because I mean it. When I link to something, it's because I felt it worth linking. And I have to face facts: you guys are probably saying nice things about my writing for the same reason.
So when Stephanie Zvan tells me to go out and do the impossible, when she says "please do me a favor," despite the fact I'm a bloody coward when it comes to self-promotion, there's nothing for it but to sneak over to Ed's and quietly drop in a line saying, "Stephanie Zvan made me do it." Then flee for my life.
And that, for any of you, my darlings, who are suffering the same uncertainty, is what you must do as well. Trust your readers. Trust their judgment, even when you can't bring yourself to believe you are what they say you are. The readers are the final judge of the writer.
Two Must-Reads You May Not Have Read
Whelp, Christmas is over. We've got a bit o' breathing room before New Year's. Time now to catch up on some of that great stuff you put off.
Brian Switek's got 6 Strange Fossils That Enlightened Evolutionary Scientists. It's Brian, so I don't have to tell you how awesome it is. Just get yer arse over there and read it if you haven't already.
And Bora's got an epic-length (by blogging standards) exploration of science and journalism that will probably tell you quite a lot you didn't already know. And you'll be surprised by just how much the 19th and 21st Centuries have in common:
Apart from technology (software instead of talking/handwriting/printing), speed (microseconds instead of days and weeks by stagecoach, railroad or Pony Express, see image above) and the number of people reached (potentially – but rarely – millions simultaneously instead of one person or small group at a time), blogging, social networking and other forms of online writing are nothing new – this is how people have always communicated. Like Montaigne. And the Republic of Letters in the 18th century. And Charles Darwin in the 19th century.The whole thing's well worth your time. So I won't detain you here any longer. Go. Read. Enlighten!
Suzanne and Sunset
If that doesn't take your breath away, you have no eye for beauty. Two more where that comes from.Now do you see why Suzanne makes my heart sing?
Wupatki Wonders
I'm behind the times. One Fly has had a gorgeous, photo-filled post on Wupatki National Monument up at his Picture Place up since November, and your own dear cantinera makes a cameo appearance.
You geo-types will like to know that the monument's built from the sandstones of the Moenkopi Formation and the limestones of the Kaibab Formation, if I'm remembering my strata correctly. Sometime after the new year, I plan to start an Arizona series at long last, so we'll discuss it in detail then. Perhaps One Fly will send us a photo of a nice rock or two.
The snow-capped mountains in the background are the San Francisco Peaks, which get a mention in my post on Louis Agassiz, and I've done up a bit on Sunset Crater here.
Crap in a hat. Now I'm homesick… but it's a good kind of homesick. Arizona's got some of the shittiest politicians and most nauseating laws in the country, but as far as her ruins and her geology, you'll hear no complaints from me.
Sit and Watch the Sunset
It's Monday. Moreover, it's the Monday after a holiday. I know all you all need a little something beautiful right now, so go over and watch the sunset at Suzanne's:
That's just the first of many gorgeous images. Go on. Go enjoy. You've earned a beauty break.Los Links
Bored on a holiday weekend, are ye? Had your fill of turkey, football, annoying relatives, Black Friday, all that rot? Well, that's good, because I've got lots o' interesting links I've been meaning to do something about but never managed to get round to blogging.
Pour yourselves a glass of something tasty and hopefully strong, and nibble away at some delights, my darlings.
The "Lost Women": science popularizers and communicators of the 19th century: We sometimes forget that, even in the days when women were pretty much third-class citizens, a few of them broke out of the barefoot and pregnant mold and managed to make some impressive, not to mention important, contributions to science. Here's a start on remembering them. And, in case that wasn't enough for ye, here's my paean to a few of the Unsung Women of Science.
For those who might've missed it the first, second, and ten billionth time this got handed round the geoblogosphere, Ole Nielsen has an excellent explanation of How Drumlins Form.
And while we're on about glaciers, might as well go From end to end: Traversing the Terminal Lines of Long Island.
Hannah Waters has the definitive post on Developing a scientific worldview: why it's hard and what we can do.
Remember when we were all supposed to have flying cars? How about this instead: Trees Infused With Glowing Nanoparticles Could Replace Streetlights. Pretty damned awesome.
Here's an excellent read for anyone who loves reading, writing, or understanding how the brain works: This Is Your Brain on Metaphors.
And, finally, Orac's got a thought provoking (and snarky) post up: So Al Gore didn't invent global warming? Who knew?
That should keep you busy enough. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch every single Harry Potter movie filmed to date because that's the sort of idiotic thing a writer does when they're blocked…
England's Libel Law is Liable to Bite Yer Arse
So do what Simon Singh says and sign the petition to reform it:
This week is the first anniversary of the report Free Speech is Not for Sale, which highlighted the oppressive nature of English libel law. In short, the law is extremely hostile to writers, while being unreasonably friendly towards powerful corporations and individuals who want to silence critics.
The English libel law is particular dangerous for bloggers, who are generally not backed by publishers, and who can end up being sued in London regardless of where the blog was posted. The internet allows bloggers to reach a global audience, but it also allows the High Court in London to have a global reach.You can read more about the peculiar and grossly unfair nature of English libel law at the website of the Libel Reform Campaign. You will see that the campaign is not calling for the removal of libel law, but for a libel law that is fair and which would allow writers a reasonable opportunity to express their opinion and then defend it.
The good news is that the British Government has made a commitment to draft a bill that will reform libel, but it is essential that bloggers and their readers send a strong signal to politicians so that they follow through on this promise. You can do this by joining me and over 50,000 others who have signed the libel reform petition at http://www.libelreform.org/sign
Remember, you can sign the petition whatever your nationality and wherever you live. Indeed, signatories from overseas remind British politicians that the English libel law is out of step with the rest of the free world.
If you have already signed the petition, then please encourage friends, family and colleagues to sign up. Moreover, if you have your own blog, you can join hundreds of other bloggers by posting this blog on your own site. There is a real chance that bloggers could help change the most censorious libel law in the democratic world.
We must speak out to defend free speech. Please sign the petition for libel reform at http://www.libelreform.org/sign
Please sign and pass it along.
Some Things of Especial Note
Whilst you're waiting for me to get my arse in gear on the whole Discovery Park geo thing, here's some lively links to keep you busy.
Callan Bentley's moving! He'll be joining the new American Geophysical Union's new blog consortium by the end of the month, so watch his space for directions to the new digs. Congratulations, Callan!
(Ye gods – will we all be assimilated into networks?!)
Our own George W. has a fascinating post up on the powers of 10. My mind, it is blown!
Marcelo Gleiser explains why science matters. If you missed it the first few times it made the rounds, don't dare miss it now.
Carl Zimmer explores where e-Book publishing might take us. Those who believe writing and reading are dead, take heart!
And (dum-DUM-dum!) Readers Beware! Which says everything that needs to be said to arrogant asscrunches who think bloggers are unwashed, untrustworthy little pissants sullying the fine reputation of journalism.
Stuff Comes from Somewhere
Back before I distracted by the shiny new car and purchasing of same, our own George W. had a post up that really forced some thinking. And it's all because he was up at 4 in the morning thinking about bolts:
Where's the nickel (which plates the bolt) mined? What's the state of mine-safety technology? Do mining companies pay lobbyists to keep the laws lax? Or more likely, does the manufacturer just buy the nickel salts for plating from some third-world country where the government doesn't protect the workers or the rivers or the children who live along them? Is that why the bolts are so cheap? What's the external cost of the carbon output from manufacturing the bolt? Maybe that's the reason I saved the bolt that was left over from a project of years ago. Or maybe I'm just really cheap.Read the whole post. It'll make you think about bolts, politics, change and resources all in one go, which is damned impressive for a short post brought on by insomnia. This is why I love George's blog so: when I leave there, it's not with the same eyes as when I arrived.

What makes it easy for Vera to fool Mr. Framton Nuttel in "The Open Window"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Saki's wit is at its best in "The Open Window" as Vera spontaneously launches her tall-tale after obtaining information from Mr. Nuttel that assures her he will not know that she is fabricating the tragedy she describes.
- Vera sees that Framton Nuttel is nervous and uncomfortable
- He tries to "say something that should duly flatter the niece of the moment..." and, thus, reveals his vulnerability
- After she asks Framton if he knows "many of the people around here," he tells her "Hardly a soul"; so Vera realizes that she has no way of knowing Mr. Stappleton or anyone else. Therefore, she can proceed with her tall-tale.
Clearly, Vera takes advantage of the naivete and nervousness and fears of Framton Nuttel, and she does it with no remorse whatsoever as she blurs the lines between imagination and reality.

I'm always hearing rave reviews on primers, but I don't actually own any (or didn't, shall we say). I use Urban Decay Primer Potion for shadow, but hadn't bought any for my face. I had tried a Rimmel primer a year or so ago and it was no good. I eventually tossed it and since then have just eyeballed the living daylights out of Smashbox primers. I haven't bought a Smashbox primer (yet) because of that high price tag on them – eesh! Enter Ulta Professional's Flawless Primer.I walked into my local Ulta and was greeted with a big Ulta sale section. Ulta has some good products for a good price, so I poked around the bins. Lo and behold, I walked away with something – in the bottom sections were Ulta Professional's new primers. Why the attraction to these? Well, I've been wanting a primer. Plus these are usually $18 a pop but were (and currently are) on sale for – get this – $6. Yes. Six bucks. Why the big discount? I think the company is trying to promote the product since it's fairly new (which totally worked on me).
Ulta Professional offers four different primers – Flawless, UV, Hydro, and Matte. UV offers SPF protection, Hydro moisturizes, and Matte contains salicylic acid to treat breakouts and cut shine, all while prepping your gorgeous face for a smooth makeup application. I chose Flawless, which promises to minimize redness and even skintone to soften imperfections.
Below is the packaging. Sorry for the blurriness. I really wanted my camera to focus and even on macro it was like "No way, not today!" It got over its hissy fit later, but the packaging pics are not up to scratch.
With primers, a little goes a long way. You really only need a pea-size amount or so for your face because it just glides on. I expected this primer to be green because of the redness-reduction claims and…drumroll please…I was right! I love it when that happens. I took a swatch on my forearm of a pea-sized amount of this pea-colored product.
I was going to put pictures of it on my face but you couldn't see it once it blended. Which I guess is okay seeing as it is green. Mer.
The pros:
- It had a silky, smooth, lightweight consistency.
- A little goes a long way – you only need a little for your whole face.
- It blends easily.
The cons:
- It didn't even my tone or reduce redness. So it didn't live up to the "flawless" claim on me :(
- I don't feel like it helped my makeup apply or wear better. I looked about the same as usual after application and by the end of the day.
- Word on the street is that the packaging stinks once you get farther down in the tube. Womp, womp. I hope not but we'll see since I just started using this.
My verdict? Meh. It felt nice but didn't really seem to have a purpose. My setting spray keeps my makeup in place just as well (if not better) and I have a green concealer stick that does a wayyyy better job of cutting redness. Would I spend $18 on this? No. Would I spend $6 on this again? Honestly, no. But I would like to try the other primers and wish I would have snagged them for comparison. Then again, the sale is still going on…
Do you have a go to primer?

Proposed property development next to Burns Bog raises concerns
The president of MK Delta Lands Group says the company is fine-tuning its proposal to develop 1,750 units of condos and townhouses on its property adjacent to the ecologically-sensitive Burns Bog.
Joanne Barnett indicated that the changes will take into account feedback received by the firm during its open house on December 5.
"What we're proposing is a mixed-used village that provides for many of the types of housing that don't exist in North Delta right now," Barnett told the Georgia Straight in a phone interview, "and opportunities for a live-work community with sustainability and ecological sensitivity, and lots of opportunity for people to have gathering places and green spaces to enjoy."
The Burns Bog Conservation Society is raising serious environmental concerns about the proposed development.
"This is the wrong way to go," society president Eliza Olson told the Straight by phone. "We are going backwards when we start destroying peat bogs. We have to catch up with the world. They're beginning to realize that because of things like [hurricanes] Sandy and Katrina [in the U.S.], that both of those were made worse because of the loss of those wetlands."
Olson also said, "When you're talking about global warming and climate change, you have to be aware that only three percent of the Earth is covered with peat bogs. But six percent of the greenhouse gases is caused by their destruction. That peat stores carbon 10 times more efficiently than a rainforest or any other terrestrial ecosystem."
In March 2004, 2,042 hectares of Burns Bog were purchased by the governments of Canada, B.C., Metro Vancouver, and Delta for conservation. The 36-hectare property owned by MK Delta on 72nd Avenue is outside the protected conservation area.
Barnett stressed that only 18 hectares, or half of the property, would be developed. She maintained that the property does not have the characteristics of a bog. "But it does have certain stands of trees and a wetland area that are worthy of protection, and we are proposing to protect those," Barnett said.
How? Delta calculated the area of the proposed site and (on paper) "transferred" that protected area to Burns Bog; just a paper game nothing more. Ugh!
Gee, I wonder how this development is going to fare?
