I have one of these. It's in a small pot. It keeps losing leaves and it's really annoying the heck out of me. The leaves will get dry around the edges. I remove this dead part and it just keeps spreading. It puts up new leaves. They eventually do the same thing. What gives? Is it that the humidity is too low? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have figured out how to root the leaves in water at least. Every time a leaf gets to looking bad I stick it in water and new baby plantlets appear on the stem. I will have no trouble keeping one alive, but how do I make this thing happy? I had no idea they were this finicky. |

I put it in a container today to try and increase the humidity. I hope these don't have to be pampered like this all the time because I hate plants like that! |
What kind of potting medium are you using? |
- Posted by echinaceamaniac 7 (My Page) on Tue, May 19, 09 at 10:57
It's still in the medium it came in. It looks like normal potting soil to me. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. |

I don't grow this, but first thing I'd try is a pebble tray underneath the plant. (A small dish of small rocks, water to overflow into the rocks & the pot sits ON TOP OF, not in, the wet rocks which helps w/ the humidity). |

This plant is a mess. It's beautiful, but this is just annoying. I thought begonias were easy to grow. The leaves just gradually corrode around the edges. I've tried more humidity today and it seems to speed up the corrosion around the edges. Yikes! |

I wish we could get some HELP ! I'm on my 3rd one. Think I'll try the plastic cover but don't know where to find one tall enough. |

Well, for what it's worth - and I must disclose I've killed 2, and my Mom, with a super-green thumb has killed 1 - here's my experience: They don't like it too cold. They don't like it too dry, but aren't really into misting. Their fine, fine Begonia roots don't like to dry out, but they're easy to suffocate & rot out. You might try sticking one (some?) of your rooted plantlet/leaves into a faster potting medium, but one that stays moist(er) for a little longer. There are several threads here referencing a "gritty" potting mix... hold on to your shorts when you read, but there's some very good info. Moister is a relative term in this context! Were I to try this plant again - and it IS a beauty when happy, how can anyone not be totally slayed by that fantastic curl?! - I would pot a little on the tight side in a medium of bark + baked diatomaceous earth + pumice + leached coir. The coir & the baked DE will hold moisture a little longer. It would likely still need drinks a few times a week. But, I'm just guessing here & probably won't sentence a 3rd to death. On the other hand, my B. semperflorens (wax begonia - not nearly as showy, but a survivor) has done fine in the same potting soil + plastic pot for years & years. And Mom has some other kind of Rex (red, with tall, thick & upright stems) that is also doing fine long-term in soil. Go figure. |
Here is a link that might be useful: some info that might help... or not, but from a good blog
Hi echinaceamaniac...your problem is fungus. Buy a good fungicide and spray the entire plant, including tops and bottoms of all leaves, stems, trunk. I tossed mine away as I got sick of the constant fungal infections...it starts at the margins of the leaves and will eventually cover the entire leaf....spraying helps immensely, but, it requires frequent spraying, removal of all affected leaves. A gorgeous begonia, but a real headache. Many begoniacs believe that a "warning" label should be attached to this begonia, due to its tendency for fungal infections. In this case, higher humidity would only worsen the situation, as would covering the plant. I have 102 different begonias...but, B. escargot is no longer one of them. Best wishes, Patrick |
I am so happy to finally understand why I had such problems with this one. I will give up now. It was good for two years this year it has been a big puzzle. If it does not want to play with me it can play in the snow see how it likes that. |

Escargot is one of the most beautiful Begonias around, but difficult during winter. They need medium light, a lot of humidity and fresh, circulating air. This winter, I let the soil dry too much, more than usual, so it lost many leaves.. It's true Begonias prefer warm/humid air, but when my Begonias were in the LR, 'warmer, and has a humidifer' they didn't look right. I moved them back to a cold, less humid room, all but the Escargot looks better. Not 100% but better. One more thing. Choose a good-size, healthy Begonia..they're not the easiest plants to grow, 'especially for those of us who live in cold climates,' so it's best starting out with a healthy specimen. |
- Posted by woebegonia 5 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 28, 11 at 10:06
My 2 cents worth, if you like that big leaf curl try B. 'Northern Lights', it is not humidity sensitive and spent the winter in my heated kitchen, grown in the open, looks great, I'm very pleased with it. |

I was wondering how i can get a stater from a mature escargot plant. What do i need to do thank U |

Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz Have Put Themselves Under the Control of 'Dogtooth' Director Yorgos Lanthimos
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 3, 2014 | Be the First To CommentYorgos Lanthimos is one of those filmmakers whose reputation proceeds any new movie he makes, but when you first gain worldwide attention by making something as shocking as 2009's Dogtooth, that's bound to be the case. It's not just the content of Dogtooth that made it so memorable to those who watched it though, it was the way in which Lanthimos was able to introduce his viewers to a world that was intensely jarring and disorienting, all while keeping his eye on the human heart of his story and giving the audience just enough of an emotional anchor to hold on to so that the film didn't degenerate into substanceless shock or absurdity. The same was also true, though probably to a lesser extent, with his 2011 film Alps. Now that he's getting ready to make his first English-language film with his first cast of familiar Hollywood actors, however, it's going to be interesting to see what, if anything, changes about his approach to storytelling. He once again wrote the script for his new film, The Lobster, with his regular collaborator, Efthymis Filippou, so one might think that there wouldn't be too much of a stylistic shift between it and his past work, but, on the other hand, now that there's a report that Lanthimos' new film will be starring names as mainstream as Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, is it possible that he could be utilizing their talents to make something as weird and niche as his last few […]
Jason Clarke, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, and Olivia Colman to Find Animal Magnetism in 'The Lobster'
Casting Couch By Samantha Wilson on October 23, 2013 | Be the First To CommentJason Clarke, Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw, and Olivia Colman have all joined forces for Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos' first English language film, The Lobster. The futuristic romance is a bit out there, but nothing too strange from the man who brought us 2009's Dogtooth. In Lanthimos's dystopian future, being single is illegal and all those caught breaking the law are arrested and transferred to The Hotel. A far cry from The Four Seasons, Deadline Hollywood reports that the hotel guests are forced to find a mate within 45 days; should they fail, they get transformed into an animal and released into the woods. Problem solved! Don't worry; it's any animal of their choosing – it's not like they're cruel or something. Of course, one of the men taken to the Hotel escapes to the woods and falls in love (with a human? with one of the humans turned animal?), though it's against all the rules of their society. There's no word yet on who is playing what role, though it really seems like these four shouldn't have any problem finding a mate – right? riiiiight? It's also hard to judge from the simple synopsis what to make of the film's tone. Billed as an unconventional love story, it has the trappings to either go the deeply sinister route (think about it, a lot of people probably don't survive in those woods for very long), or darkly comedic (turning people into animals because they're not married is kind of funny).
How Will We Remember Yorgos Lanthimos When He Dies?
Features By Scott Beggs on July 12, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYorgos Lanthimos confounded and excited fans with Dogtooth and he returns to theaters this summer with Alps – the story of a group that begins a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help the mourning cope. In this interview with Landon Palmer, Lanthimos discusses toying with identity and death while giving an eye into his filmmaking process (and describing the difficulty in marketing a movie while trying to maintain its mysteriousness). Download Episode #140
Review: 'Alps' Is Exactly the Follow-Up You'd Expect From the Director of 'Dogtooth'
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on July 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentYorgos Lanthimos's Alps, like his previous Academy-Award nominated critical favorite Dogtooth, is a movie that feels like a puzzle. Not an Inception or Lost-style puzzle where answers to mysteries are teased and delivered with thunderous revelation. Alps is a quiet, restrained work of artistry that's cryptic in its approach to detail, ambiguous in its construction of characters, and deliberately distanced in its psychological, emotional, and visual landscape. Lanthimos and co-screenwriter Efthymis Filippou have once again created a film whose idiosyncratic microcosm is manifested through short scenes that reveal brief and often puzzling bits of information until those bits gradually accumulate into a more full understanding of what the hell is going on. Lanthimos's films require a significant amount of work from the viewer, and should be credited for it. Alps opens with a striking image of a gymnast (Ariane Labed) performing rhythmic dance to a classical composition who is then verbally abused by her stone-faced coach (Johnny Vekris). We subsequently see a bloodied young woman in an ambulance being cared for by a paramedic (Aris Servetalis) who later informs a nurse (Aggeliki Pappoulia) that this woman is a tennis player whose favorite actor is Jude Law. I'll save the details of what comes after for you to experience yourself (though many reviews have revealed much more than I will), but we come to find out that this unlikely quartet of characters (whose real names are never revealed) refer to themselves as "Alps" and are engaged in a strange and dangerous […]
Yorgos Lanthimos Has Three English-Language Projects in Development, One in the Vein of 'Dogtooth'
In Development By Nathan Adams on June 7, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf you haven't yet seen Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos' 2009 film Dogtooth, run out and do that as soon as possible. It's an absolute essential when it comes to the most interesting and experimental examples of storytelling that have come out over the last ten years, and it's probably one of the most unlikely and effective horror films of all time. Well, check it out if you have a stomach for the horrible and strange…probably you should run far away from this post if you don't. Still here? That must mean that you're a fan of the off-putting and mind-effing, or even a supporter of Lanthimos' work already. Rejoice, for I have some news that you're going to be happy to hear. While doing an interview with Indiewire to promote his upcoming release, Alps, Lanthimos dropped the huge news that he currently has three possible English-language films currently in development, and though he wasn't keen on dishing out any details, he did cough up a little teaser about each.
Exclusive Poster Premiere for Festival Favorite 'Attenberg'
Exclusive By Kate Erbland on February 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentNew Greek cinema is a bit of a personal favorite of mine, what with my deep love of Dogtooth and my near-terrifying excitement for Alps, but I've somehow managed to miss yet another entry into the new wave – Attenberg. I have no excuse for missing the film – it's shown at a number of film festivals over the past two years, including Venice, Toronto, Sundance, Rotterdam, London, SXSW, and AFI FEST, and I've tried to make screenings at at least three of those festivals. But now that Strand Releasing is giving the film a limited release, I can finally catch it and presumably add it to my little pocket of Greek darlings. Written and directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari, the film has a solid pedigree for anyone interested in emerging Greek cinema. The film features a performance by none other than Yorgos Lanthimos, who also produced the project. You might know Lanthimos as the the writer and director of two of Greece's most talked-about films in recent years – those would be Dogtooth and Alps. Tsangari also produced both Dogtooth and Alps, along with the American indie Lovers of Hate. The film is described as an "offbeat coming-of-age film" that centers on 23-year-old Marina. Stuck in a boring factory town, Marina is at the mercy of both her father's impending death and her distaste for other human beings. And if you're at all familiar with Lanthimos' work, you'll know that such a plotline is perhaps keeping things quite simple. […]
AFI FEST 2011 Announces World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Shorts Selections; Includes 'Alps,' 'Kill List,' and 'Headhunters'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 21, 2011 | Comments (2)Another day, another lineup announcement from AFI FEST 2011 that sends me positively reeling. Today sees the film festival rolling out their World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Short selections. Today also sees me jumping up and down and repeatedly screaming, "ALPS! ALPS! ALPPPPSSSS!" As has been the trend with AFI FEST's recent lineup announcements, this crop of films guarantees that the festival is a can't-miss for any film buffs in the Los Angeles area. There's a number of titles here that festival-obsessed cinephiles will recognize from recent events – films like Ben Wheatley's Kill List, Morten Tyldum's Headhunters, Jean-Baptiste Léonetti's Carre Blanc, Nacho Vigalondo's Extraterrestrial, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and Jafar Panahi's This is Not a Film, and for Dogtooth obsessives like me, Yorgos Lanthimos's Alps. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting October 27). Free, guys, free. After the break, check out the full list of the films to be featured as AFI FEST World Cinema, Breakthrough, Midnight, and Short Film selections.
You're Not Ready for the Teaser Trailer for 'Alps'
Movie News By Kate Erbland on August 30, 2011 | Comments (3)Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth is decidedly divisive cinema. The film played on the festival circuit back in 2010 (I took it in at SXSW in a tiny screening library room, via DVD on a tiny television) and ended up garnering a surprise Best Foreign Film nomination at the Oscars, but all that certainly doesn't mean that the film is fit to be enjoyed (or possibly even consumed) by everyone. The film focused on a Greek family with three adult children who had been isolated from the world by their parents (namely their father) and taught to fear not only other people, but nearly everything else, especially cats. To further their isolation, the kids were taught incorrect meanings for words, leaving them essentially unable to express themselves to others, should they ever encounter them. There was also an incest storyline. Sound heavy? It was – and wasn't. Dogtooth is wonderfully unsettling cinema, littered with humor darker than coal, and more messages about family and society than you could count on your fingers and toes. I loved it, but I also absolutely understand why other people don't. Now Lanthimos is back with a new film, Alps, which will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. Much like Dogtooth, the film looks to imagine an alternate sense of reality within the regular world. In the world of Alps, members of the titular group perform a service – they "stand in" for deceased people for their grieving loved ones. And, like Dogtooth, […]
'Dogtooth' Director To Go Even More Extreme
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 9, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhat's better than a surreal movie about parents who imprison their children and torture them in creative ways? News that the director wants to get "darker." According to the LA Times, Yorgos Lanthimos (whose movie Dogtooth was nominated for an Oscar) is working on Alps – a movie about a group of people who agree to act as replacements for lost family members and friends by mirroring their behavior. He's already editing, trying to get it ready before Cannes in May, and he claims it's both funny and dark, swinging between both "extremes a little bit more [than Dogtooth]." It's fascinating to see filmmakers tool around with social norms and relationship dynamics. It looks like Greece may have its very own Sion Sono.

Ahem, Lomolabs...I love the spicy soup you use to develop my slide films, the colors are always great. However, I really wish you'd be more consistent and send me my scans. Several times now I have gotten things developed but no scans as in the case of this roll which I had to scan myself...not that I mind scanning myself but I paid for scans too. Also, one SR roll went missing last spring and then a recent FE 110 roll was switched for someone else's and I never got my roll. Tell the folks at your lab to wake up dammit!

- Plugin Info
- Description
- Features
- Screenshots

- An EQ processing straightly reveals the sound quality of a software – probably better than any other processing tool. Therefore, the Free Ranger ideally demonstrates the amazing qualities of our Analog Code plug-ins.
- Description
The Free Ranger is based upon the Full Ranger-EQ from our EQ Rangers series. It is limited to four – we think very useful – bands:- 16 kHz center frequency – Boost: Glitter, brilliance, air.
- 1,8kHz center frequency – this is THE EQ test frequencies. An EQ that sounds good here is a good EQ. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to compare EQs in that range. Applications examples: Boost for more bass definition and presence, cut reduces metal for brass.
- 150 Hz center frequency – Boost: more warmth for everything, main impact of bass instruments, fuller, fatter snares. Cut for vocals: avoids collision with bass.
- 40 Hz center frequency – Boost: in general fuller sounds, deep bass punch (kick drum). Cut: reduces booming sounds and sub harmonic interferences.
- Features
Mouse Wheel Control
All SPL Analog Code plug-ins support mouse wheel control for rotary controls and faders. Place the mouse cursor over a rotary control or fader and move the wheel or scroll ball of your mouse to adjust the control or fader. Hold the CTRL (Windows) or APPLE/COMMAND key while moving the wheel or scroll ball for fine adjustments with higher control resolution.
System Requirements
MAC: OS X 10.4 or higher, CPU G4/Intel Core Duo, 256MB RAM SVGA 1024x768.PC: Win 2000, XP or Vista, CPU 1GHz, 256MB RAM, SVGA 1024x768.
Number of Instances
The number of instances is not limited, it solely depends on system performance how many instances can be started at a time.
The Analog Code®
While SPL hardware products have been fascinating audio professionals from home studio owners to mastering engineers in the world's most renowned facilities for years, the need for this technology in the form of plug-ins has also been an ever-growing demand. With the Analog Code® plug-ins we have finally accomplished our much desired goal: to transfer to the digital domain the high quality we have striven to achieve with our analog processors throughout several decades.

Let's kick things off with this ridiculously cute cheese slicer from Z Gallerie:
[ Image via Z Gallerie ]
C'mon, how can you not smile when looking at that?! The cheese slicer is stainless steel and comes with a generously sized 5" x 9" beech wood cheeseboard that's disguised as a giant mousetrap. At just $19.95, it'd make a great gift for a host or hostess!
Next on the list is West Elm's wood slices tray:
[ Image via West Elm ]
I'm a huge fan of trays because of their versatility and this tray in particular is gorgeous with it's modern wood print. Plus, at just $24, it would be perfect for serving cocktails or small appetizers at all of your upcoming holiday parties!
The third fabulous find is a set of two fu dog bookends from CB2:
[ Image via CB2 ]
Fu Dogs are Chinese symbols of protection and this set of two bookends would make a great gift for a new homeowner! They're just $49.95 for the pair and I love the bright pop of color they would add to a desk or a bookcase.
The fourth fabulous find is the Ung Drill frame from IKEA:
The fourth fabulous find is the Ung Drill frame from IKEA:
[ Image via IKEA ]
I love this frame for several reasons: 1) It can be painted any color your little heart desires 2) It can be filled with a picture or be left empty on a wall hanging above a bed or fireplace 3) It's just $29.99 and would look great in both modern and traditional homes!
Rounding out this fourth edition of Fabulous Finds Friday is this set of 3 bud vases from Jonathan Adler's Happy Chic line for HSN.com:
Where do I start?! 3 bud vases on sale for $39.95 breaks down to just a little over $10 a vase! Not only that but there's 4 different color options to choose from including the platinum version pictured above. These would look great clustered in the middle of a dining room table filled with fresh flowers :)
What did you think of this weeks Fabulous Finds Friday? Which find was your favorite?

Not a layout guru but I will suggest you take a look at the Dynamic Space materials in the attached link. If you apply this info to the two layouts you have I think the flaws become pretty apparent. Guidelines aren't absolute but hopefully this one can help you get what you need. Off the top of my head - stove is better along the back but my concern is your still cooking in a traffic way and your pretty far from the prep and clean up area. I'm thinking that having anything on the wall by that doorway to the bedrooms forces traffic into the kitchen area. Maybe dump having anything there or at least change it to shallow storage so traffic isn't pushed as far into the cooking area. Do you eat in the dining room or in that area the kitchen opens up into? Tough one - I'm sure you'll get better advice than mine. Good luck! |

The side 7 ft wall is also a passage to the hallway-not necessarily the best wall for fridge and deep storage.Remove the deeper cabs-try shallow depth cabs with counter- the wall up front between hearth and dining room is a more useful wall-you placed counter and storage on it. Counter and storage can be placed in a lot places with a lot of configurations-put the fridge , some cabs and counter on the hearth wall. I like the range on the back of the master stair wall as you had it.....about 13 ft of walk between fridge and range-that's fine. The island: try different sink set ups....remember,the fridge is moved,so put a single sink on the side of island right behind fridge -that gives you a zone right there. The opposite side of island-behind range can now house a smaller sink-that will give you a 2nd zone by cooking area. You could try 4 stools-2 across from each other on island because the dbl sink is gone. Dishwasher is placed next to sink up by fridge. Microwave is placed in wall cabinet-either by fridge,or along the wall that heads to bedrooms. I would not do tambours that extend to counters-keep your counters open. this is a nice open space-what you are going to benefit from is the stylistic choices,when you get to it.....counters/pendant lights/flooring/stylish stools. It's hard to see the benefit of a large open kitchen when grappling at this stage....I would have no hesitation with the tweaks mentionned and go ahead and pick out colors/materials. |

What does the rest of the home's layout look like. You're not doing this in a vacuum, and right now, none of these kitchen layouts work because of very poor traffic patterns. Post an "as is" right now with the walls that you are proposing to take down highlighted, and then post an "as proposed" with the walls gone, but no kitchen layout. Make sure that the dimensions of all of the spaces are accurate, and indicate whether or not that doorways or windows can shift. I'm thinking that you may have to rearrange some of them to get the traffic to work. Also, how often do you use your DR, and do you need such a wide access to it from the kitchen? Is it part of a more "formal" portion of the home, with a formal living room adjacent? If it's not, and you are casual people, then throwing it into the mix to be repurposed can start to make sense as well. Right now, you're in despair because although you are taking down walls, you're still thinking within the box that those walls created. Post the asked for layouts, and start to think outside of those boxes. Thinking of an open concept as a whole is much more difficult than individual spaces, and that's why you may be having problems with the layout. |
Just looking at the space and with no idea how you live in it, that kitchen looks extremely awkward to work in. What I'd do, would be to run most of the kitchen, cabinets and stove and refrigerator, along that top 23' wall. Swing the island around to run parallel to the same wall, so that someone at the sink is looking at the fireplace. Then run shallow pantry cabinets where the fridge is in the first layout. This alters the basic shape of the kitchen and the hearth room. The "top" half of the room becomes the kitchen and the "bottom" half of the room becomes the hearth room, instead of a right/left split. But I think it gives you the chance at a better work triangle in the kitchen. It doesn't solve the traffic pattern of someone moving from the hall doorway to the back door, unless you put a peninsula there to block people, but that would also block the cook, which would be frustrating. |

I agree the problem is the lay out is so chopped up that you are not getting the counter surface you need and you are not getting any area that is out of the traffic flow. A whole "think outside the box" solution is in order. I would explore putting a long run of cabinetry along wall A with the fridge and the range in it. Probably with the fridge closest to the back yard access. I would turn the island 90 degrees so it faces the fireplace and has a prep sink in it and seating at the island...there's plenty of room to make it a good size. I would then put the sink and the DW in the niche where the fridge was in your first drawing to make a clean up area. This way when you're working at the island you can face the hearth and it opens up space to put a round breakfast table by the big window D. You can leave the cabinetry that is there or change it to a nice sized pantry closet. Or if you don't want the pantry storage, you can build in a banquette with book cases and storage inside to work with the breakfast table. |

You have some good thoughts to work through, and more will likely appear. If the Ikea planner is not cooperating, or if it takes a while to make new layouts (that was my problem, took too long), I would get some graph paper and very carefully draw out you space as accurately asossible in straight dark lines. Label all measurements and doors. Then make about 40 copies. Use the copies to sketch out options in pencil so you can make minor changes as you think through each option. For major thought changes, whip out a clean sheet. You can think much faster and try things easier. Plus it makes a record of what you tried already, very helpful if you scribble notes about why you rejected the idea. I went through about 40-50 drafts this way and found it very helpful and much less frustrating than the online planners. I could never get them to move around as fast as I wanted to think. When you have one or two promising drafts, post for more feedback. |

What if you oriented the whole kitchen along top wall "A" and centered most of it between the doorway to the hall and the doorway to outside and it faced into the hearth room that way? It seems like you are taking out a wall and trying to put the kitchen in the same spot. It would orient the hearth room from Left to Right instead of Top to Bottom which will affect that furniture layout but I would try it. |
There's another door to the bedrooms somewhere else, right? K. Good. How bad would it be to swap the door outside with the window just below it? That would make putting the kitchen along the top wall work better which seems the most sensible option at this point. |
Your existing kitchen . . . well, the only printable thing I can type is that it was not designed by someone who has ever cooked in his life. You deserve a lot better. |
Williamsem-Brilliant idea about making copies of the graph paper layout. That would have saved me a lot of trouble over the last 4 months! |
Can the door to the backyard be moved along wall B to where the current windows are, closer to the fireplace? And then you would have a long stretch along wall A for a counter run. And then perhaps an island in-between that long counter run and the fireplace. Not sure if that works, just a thought. |
I can't offer layout advice, although williamsem, pal, and others have that covered. I can, however, continue the Princess Bride references and remind you that if you are in the pit of despair, that means you've already survived the fire swamp. Persevere, and true love (of kitchen) awaits you! Good luck. |
I like the idea of photocopying pages to plan on. Another thing that has been quick for me when trying to work up plans is to stick one of those pages into a clear page protector and draw on it with a thin dry erase marker. It makes for fast conceptual planning, and then can be fine-tuned in more detail later. I found this to be much faster then trying to draw on graph paper with pencil or trying to plan with a computer program. Best wishes! |
That looks so much better. I have to admit I had two thoughts on looking at your first layout in the first post. "Nothing is where it belongs." "Everything is facing the wrong way." It wasn't a kitchen so much as a collection of kitchen-related objects strung along the wall. This new plan might need some tweaking, but even just as it is, it is 100% better than the old kitchen and the original plans for the new one. You've got windows, you've rerouted at least some of the traffic (your current kitchen is nothing but a hallway, really), you've got counter space and an eating bar. Do run the electrical panel problem by a kitchen designer if you can. They might have some other options for you to consider. But open shelving is very popular in a lot of kitchens these days, so a mix of cabinets and shelves won't seem odd. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 12 at 11:00
Big improvement. I would make the banquette just an L shape and chairs on 2 sides so it's easier to skootch in and out. You have space on the left by the door to put an entry area in if you want...maybe a bench under the window with baskets below and cubbies on either side of the window if there's room. It looks like you left the post in the wall in addition to the electrical panel...is that post necessary? Bummer that you can't move the box. Putting open shelves is a nice alternative since you can't do the cabinet there. I like the idea of a full pantry w/ microwave in the 7' niche. I would think about making the island not quite so deep to leave more room to pull a chair around to the other side of the hearth...it's more comfortable when people can sit across from each other. I had a rule that the island could be no deeper than twice arm length so I could wipe down the middle without struggle. It's a challenge looking at the sketchup as the squares are not 1 sq ft, so it's hard to judge spacing.... |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Sun, Oct 28, 12 at 11:02
the fridge/range wall looks good-the open shelving is attractive! In the house, then, with this concept you'll have the dining room area/banquette and island seating all in close proximity-too much-you've effectively eliminated the "living" concept at this end, except for 2 chairs. That would be a mistake I think. And then in truth you have a 4th eating venue-the patio-which in your climate will be heavily used. |
If your back yard is located behind the kitchen wall, I'd consider changing the window to a door an the door to a window. It would seem to make those outdoor meals a lot easier and you can keep the light an view from both -- maybe even improve on them. If you haven't done so, at least talk to an electrician about the ability to relocate the panel. It would be much easier while other work is going to be done than to come back and want to do it later. Even if you could move it to the support wall, it would leave the back wall open and you could cover it with a chalkboard, memo board or art. Moving it over between the door and window would be even better. It would be an added expense, but not as big a one while you are doing the other work as it would be to come back later. I would at least want to know what it would take to do it before I decided not to try it. Even if you leave it, it would be better not to wish it had been moved and wonder about it. I would just want to make sure you couldn't do it -- maybe even talk to a couple of electricians since you might get a crazy price from one and something more reasonable from another. My initial thought was to turn things and create a galley on that long wall. I think that is going to give you the best use of space. Glad you tried it, Agree with an L banquette -- or even just a back bench. |

26 August 2011
Cardiff University is throwing open the doors of one of its most iconic buildings to give members of the public a rare opportunity to explore its history and find out more about the ground-breaking work that goes on there.
Formally opened in October 1909, the University's impressive Main Building is Grade II listed and a thriving focal point for the campus and the city. As part of the Civic Trust Open Doors initiative, a special open day will be held on Saturday 17th September giving Cardiff residents and visitors to the city the chance to look behind the building's familiar exterior.
As part of the day, visitors can see first-hand some of University's newly acquired Rare Books collection, which includes 175 incunabula (the earliest printed books from before 1500), around 500 rare Bibles and a rare set of early Shakespeare works.
There will also be an interactive children's area with hands-on exhibits based on the human body, demonstrations and exhibitions by some of the researchers based in the building about their world-leading work and the chance for people to find out more about the courses offered by the University's Centre for Lifelong Learning.
Main Building, which is located on Park Place, will be open to members of the public from 11.00am until 3.00pm on 17th September. During the day, two special tours of the building will be given by Jim Cowan, a professional guide from Cardiff History and Hauntings. These start at 12.45pm and 1.45pm and will last approximately 30 minutes. Tours of the Rare Books collection will run at 1.00pm-2.00pm (Welsh language) and 2.00pm-3.00pm (English language).
All tours are free and places must be booked in advance by contacting email@example.com or 02920 876935. More information is available at www.cardiff.ac.uk/opendoors.
Visitors who would like to take a building tour through the medium of Welsh, or who have accessibility issues should contact the University's Community Engagement Team on the email address or number above in advance.
The Open Doors initiative is organised by the Civic Trust for Wales and gives members of the public free access to visit some of the country's most beautiful buildings and places of historic and architectural interest. This year there are over five hundred events at more than three hundred sites across Wales. The programme is Wales's contribution to European Heritage Days.

Just some thoughts on grafting now that I've had time to think about it.
Is it better to graft onto new wood than old wood? Obviously with new wood, I wouldnt be able to cleft graft at all. It would have to be a saddle graft, whip and tongue or a splice graft. I've included a picture, red arrows would be the new growth since cutting the tree back, it looks like its building new scaffolds. If this is the case should I renewal cut the old wood after I graft onto the new wood? (Blue zig-zag) |
Follow-Up Postings:
The big cuts you indicate with the blue lines kinda scare me, but I'll leave that to the more experienced. It just looks like a lot to take off all at once. All four of the new growth choices look graftable to me, and I think that you'd be able to cleft or whip and tongue or bark graft to any of them in the spring, or bud/chip to them now. I've done cleft grafts to wood that wasn't big enough to support inserts to both sides of the rootstock, but left enough room for one scion, so I think you'd be OK on that count. |
Im thinking about those cuts over time, maybe one scaffold per year. But im thinking that old wood should be renewed and I probably shouldnt graft to it, because it may not be very productive. I think a good chunk of this tree's framework is 30 years old. It was planted when the house was built and the previous owners let it do whatever it wanted. In the spring I cut most of the branches and scaffolds 1/2 back as they were too long, downward growing and diseased or damaged. The top red arrow is my projected new central leader. |
I tend to agree with you, but I wish others would comment. I'm not sure how big those branches with the blue lines are. Maybe 6"? That does seem on the large size for grafting, but I don't doubt that there are people who do it. Others? |

RE: 'Velcro' bedskirt - Do you have or like? (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: juneroses on 08.10.2011 at 02:47 pm in Home Decorating Forum Marthabr: It was easier to get a good picture of my king bed. The only difference between this and the queen is that I also made two panels for the end of the bed. I've flipped up the bed cover so you can see more of the skirt:
The panels below belong to another project (final ironing yet to be done) but will give you an idea of the pieces for the side of the bed: Here are 3 side pieces: two larger ones and a smaller underlap piece: When you pin each piece to the bedspring, this is how they will overlap: You can easily make the area of the underlap larger or smaller so that it all fits the length of your bed. Likewise you can tuck more or less between the mattress and springs so the depth is perfect. I don't have a footboard on my bed so you can see that there is an underlap piece at the corner and then the larger end of the bed piece is attached. NOTES: <none>

on May 14, 2010Here's a Fox News headline sorry, I guess that's "FOXNews" from a few hours ago:
Plan to Build Mosque Near Ground Zero Riles Families of 9/11 Victims
Well, hey, fair enough. That's understandable, the families being bothered by the proposed construction. But go read the story and you'll discover that Fox (sorry, FOXNews) is genuinely outraged. They say so. And they demonstrate it. The Mayor's office gets one line noting that under city zoning, the mosque is perfectly legal. The mosque's builder gets one line to note that the mosque is part of a community center open to all religions. And the rest of the 934-word article is almost pure unsubstantiated rumor, innuendo, and opinion. "Reports" of (it is implied) shady financing. A rival Muslim group attacking the builder's motives without being forced to declare its own. Fringe movements presented as substantive authorities. And of course, the specter of Shariah law. Be very afraid, America your children will be stoned!
Now, granted, if you're dedicated to reporting false outrage as fact, you need to actually generate that false outrage in the first place because no sane person can make the required irrational leaps to senseless conclusions on his own. And that's not easy. So I thought I'd give the Foxettes a hand with some headlines.
They can manufacture the stories on their own.
Building of America Riles Survivors of Indian Genocide
Expansion of Wichita Riles Great-grand-calves of Buffalo Hunt Victims
Popularity of French Fries Riles Families of Potato Famine Dead

My father-in-law has two large rhododendron. They are both dying. I noticed ring like marking's on their trunks. The branches seem to be drying up and dying. The leaves are all turning brown and falling off. I noticed some orange/rust colored spots on them. I just don't know how old the leaves are. Some of the plant looks healthy. Most of it is dying.
Any idea's? Thanks, Stephanie |
Follow-Up Postings:
One branch dying is indicative of borers or drought damage. There are a number of leaf spots or burns caused by fungi such as Botryis, Pestalotia, Phyllosticta, Septoria and others. Many are secondary infections happening after mechanical damage or environmental stress, such as sunburn, drought, winter damage or windburn. They generally occur during wet weather and many times are self limiting with drier weather. Good sanitation is helpful, so remove brown and fallen leaves. Also provide good air circulation. Spraying with Benomyl or similar fungicide can be useful, but is frequently not necessary. |

Can space exist without time, time without space, black holes without either?
As an aside, theoretical physicists love to play with fictitious arrangements of space and time - for example one dimension of space and one of time makes nice little diagrams and is one of the favorites. Undoubtedly people have investigated spaces with no time, and "spaces" with just time and no space, but I cannot see any practical use for them. Having both space and time makes things interesting (motion makes no sense without both, for example). Black holes probably can exist without time, but where would one be if there was no space?

You don't make selvage stitches any differently than regular ones. Some people, however, slip the first stitch of every row for a neater edge, but that's all I know about it. To slip a stitch, you put your needle into it as if to purl and just transfer the stitch to the right hand needle. |

Origin of LIGHT
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to the human eye. It ranges from the red end to the violet end of the spectrum, with wavelengths from 700 to 400 nanometres and frequencies from 4.3 1014 to 7.5 1014 Hz. Like all electromagnetic radiation, it travels through empty space at a speed of about 186,000 mi/sec (300,000 km/sec). In the mid-19th century, light was described by James Clerk Maxwell in terms of electromagnetic waves, but 20th-century physicists showed that it exhibits properties of particles as well; its carrier particle is the photon. Light is the basis for the sense of sight and for the perception of colour. See also optics; wave-particle duality.

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) Brood counts done this month across the state are showing that the pheasant population in South Dakota is up from last year, which means the pheasant season should be excellent this fall. The annual August survey showed that pheasant numbers were up in many areas of the state, thanks to a mild winter and ideal weather during the nesting and brood-rearing season. Jeff Vonk, Secretary of the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks, says in a press release that the moderate weather conditions last winter brought the boost that was needed for pheasant survival and reproductive potential. Vonk says pheasant hunting should be good across most of the state this year, with the traditional pheasant range once again offering excellent hunting opportunities. More than 1.5 million pheasants were harvested last year and Vonk says this month's counts show that this will be another exceptional year for pheasant hunting in the state.

Gorilla-displaying vacuum store to close (w/video)
By BY JESSICA RODRIGO - email@example.com
May 19, 2014 at 12:19 a.m.
Get there before it closes
Tom's Vacuum Center will close June 27. If your vacuum needs attention, Jan Bleeker said to bring it in for service right away. They'll stop ordering new parts and taking repair jobs at the beginning of June.
For more information, call 361-573-3871 or visit the business at 501 E. Rio Grande St. in Victoria between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
What's Bubba's story?
A few years after the business opened, Jan Bleeker said a friend of Tom's convinced him to buy Bubba, a life-size gorilla, as an attention-getter or as a land marker.
"He's been around since 1978, and he's part of the family," she said.
Almost every day the Tom's Vacuum Center is open, Bubba will take his spot on the corner, she said. Depending on the occasion, he might change his attire to fit in. Sometimes it's red, white and blue during Warrior's Weekend, pink for breast cancer awareness or a costume for Halloween.
She's not sure what they'll do with him, but Mike Vanelli is glad he'll be safe.
"We won't have to worry about the gorilla being beat up by Pepper," he said.
Be sure to say goodbye to Bubba before the business he calls home closes for good.
Jan Bleeker, Tom's widow and owner of Tom's Vacuum Center, said she's unsure what will happen to Victoria's iconic gorilla perched at the intersection of Navarro and Rio Grande streets. When the business closes June 27, he could find himself standing at another corner in Victoria.
"I suppose we'll have to sell him, too," Bleeker, 66, said.
After months of consideration, she decided it was time to retire and close the business she and her husband opened at the same location in 1974.
She said Tom, who died in 2008, would have told her to retire a few years ago.
With the help of full-time employee Ilene Pena, many of their loyal customers have already been called to inform them of the business' closing date.
"I'm sure that there are a lot of people we missed," Bleeker said as she removed screws from Margaret Kolar's Riccar upright Monday with a cordless drill. "We're trying not to forget anyone."
Once Mike Vanelli, 30-year service manager at Tom's, adjusted to working two jobs and started working less at Tom's, Bleeker and Pena took over most of the maintenance work.
He now works at Holy Family Church during most of the day and comes to Tom's to finish small jobs and complete estimates. It's a different dynamic, he said, and it will take some getting used to.
"It's kind of surreal since we've been open for so long," Vanelli, 56, said about the business closing.
He said he'll miss visiting with the customers and hearing the stories they shared about family or other goings-on. The business has been such a big service to the community, he said.
When he's not working, Bleeker and Pena can be found in a small room with a large window that faces the New Rodeo restaurant across the street tag-teaming the vacuums that have been steadily coming in since the news is out that Tom's is closing.
Pena, 25, has been with the company for nine years and said she's going to miss all the customers and coming to work alongside Bleeker every day. It's a sentiment Pena said many of the customers share with her.
"They're sad, but they're also happy to see her retire. She deserves it," Pena said.
Until then, the two will continue to work on vacuums and sell as much of their inventory as possible.
Bubba will continue to stand on his stoop on the corner, and when it's time to punch out, Bleeker will bring him in and put him in "his closet so that he doesn't run away."
Before Bleeker had finished cleaning Kolar's vacuum, she affixed a gold-and-red foil sticker that celebrated Tom's 40th anniversary.
"We won't quite make it till then, but it'll be awfully close," Bleeker said. The business opened in July 1974.
The electric chime signaled as Kolar walked through the door, 30 minutes ahead of schedule.
Bleeker picked the Riccar off the table and gently set it upright on the carpet. She plugged it in to give it a whirl, to show her it was ready and roaring to go. Kolar added a few extra bags and two belts to the order for good measure, too.
"You enjoy your retirement," said Kolar from across the desk where Bleeker filled out a receipt by hand. "Take your nap in the afternoon, too."
Bleeker smiled to her and assured she would do just that. She grabbed the vacuum, walked Kolar to her car and made sure she was packed for her ride back to Moulton.
She said the hardest part about locking the door for the last time is going to be the new routine.
"I always have something to do, but I'll find something to do," Bleeker said.
