Rated 5 out of 5 by MLT23 Exceptional Stay in Albuquerque
I was blown away by the hospitality and comfort of this hotel. I got emails from the hotel & concierge a week before my stay asking if they could do anything for me before my arrival. NOT your typical airport hotel, The people were over-the-top friendly, accomodating and helpful. I never heard a plane.It was quiet and very clean inside and on the grounds. This hotel is literally 3 minutes from the check-in drop off. I did not expect this kind of property, hospitality and incredible attitude from a hotel and staff located right at the airport. We will make a point of staying here from now on. They get 5 stars in my book!

Rated 4 out of 5 by DownhillSkier Bed Linens / Hotel Restaurant
Overall the hotel is great and we will probably return.
However, the bed linens were so stiff they made noise every time we moved! And the mattress was a little on the hard side. So needless to say, our nights sleep wasn't so good.
The service in the hotel restaurant was a bit slow. My meal had mushrooms which I specifically told them to take out. The waiter said the Pesto wasn't any good and told my sister-in-law they'd make it without the Pesto. When the food did come my husband's wasn't there - the chef had dropped his hamburger on the floor and had to re-make it!!! They food was good - just getting it was a chore.

Rated 3 out of 5 by sashasmom nice stay, but...
Our recent stay started off great and I honestly would have rated higher EXCEPT for my discovery of the incredibly filthy bathtub drain when preparing for my night's shower after a 8-hour road trip...tub draining very slow...saw floating hair in water...looked in drain and pulled out a golf ball sized wad of hair PLUS a button, 2 disposable razor blade shields, and bath soap wrapper...which made me wonder about the housekeeping staff's attention as well as whoever inspected and passed the room...I find it hard to believe they would've not noticed the slow drain and bothered to check for the reason. Disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KarenS Just what we needed!
We were in the area for a trip into Santa Fe. Since our flight was leaving from Albequerque we decided to stay the last night near the airport choosing Sheraton simply because it was so close (walking distance to airport). We were very pleased! The hotel was very clean, tasteful modern decor, very nice bathroom area, comfortable bed with quality linens,air quality was great, hotel staff was very friendly, check in was a breeze, room rate was reasonable. We ordeded room service..food was very good and reasonably priced. Even though the airport was walking distance we decided to take complimentary shuttle on which the driver was so nice and pleasant! Would stay there again..

Rated 3 out of 5 by Re41 Paid for what I didn't get
I paid for club level which places you on the top floor. It was past 3, when check in was and there was no room available. I was placed on 7th floor with access to the 15th floor. I was disappointed and since I arrived to the hotel at 10:30 am I just wanted to get in and take a shower after traveling all night to get there.
After the first day they cleaned my room but I was clearly out of shampoo & conditioner and I had to track the lady down to get more. In other instances they are pretty good with replacing them. Rooms were comfortable, air conditioner starts to put out dry air overnight. Me and my room mate woke up in sweats every night. Not sure what the deal is there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by kallman Great under pressure
The NCAA tournament was in Albuquerque and the Hotel was busy and bustling. I was recognized as an SPG member at check in and the process was a breeze with the little details taken care of with the two rooms I had reserved. The new rooms are nicely laid out with a work area and an easy to use internet. I was on the club level and the hospitality we received was fantastic. When the airport was shut down the Sunday of our departure that's when the staff really shined! The hotel is extremely convenient to the airport and we could monitor the situation easily and the staff was excellent at meeting our needs. Bad weather, tested and tired travelers the staff performed magnificently.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Katrina Horrible Employee!
We stayed in this hotel overnight in December. When we arrived, after having been traveling for over 10 hours, we were assaulted by an angry worker who yelled at us for trying to use the luggage cart. He continued to yell at us until we took our luggage off. He then yelled across the lobby at the employee who checked us in. Then he yelled at us that he wanted to "help" us take our luggage upstairs. We've stayed in Sheratons all across the world and have NEVER been treated so badly. I turned in the comment card with all of my information, and the hotel never contacted me. We will NEVER stay there again!

Rated 4 out of 5 by SSusan Love the hotel, breakfast was a problem
The hotel is clean and we felt well taken care of until breakfast. After having to tell someone that our order hadn't been taken we received luke warm coffee, and the "warm ups" were also luke warm. My husband asked for no butter on his pancakes, he got butter. Syrup was served cold. I ordered fruit, yogurt and granola parfait and a side of hash browns. There was no granola in the parfait and I didn't recieve any hash browns. We also noticed that there was a buffet in the back room after we'd ordered. Wish someone had mentioned that, we could have picked our own meal and avoided all the problems.

Rated 4 out of 5 by DHSF Rojo Grill
1) Some of the waitstaff are a little too gushy, but then at the same time oddly inattentive after the order is taken...no checking on water, drinks, asking about whether coffee is wanted, etc.
2) The morning of check-out I was counting on breakfast beginning at the announced time of 6 a.m., but while the chef had arrived there were no waitstaff. The front desk tried to make it possible for me to breakfast on the 15th floor, but the card was not read by the elevator...by the time all of that happened, it was too late to go back and try again. This was an unusual occurrence, but still irritating.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Judy10 good dog friendly choice
On a long road trip, we searched for a comfortable dog friendly hotel with plenty of green grass (to walk the dog). We selected this hotel because it was so close to I 25 (and 40). We never heard one airplane take off during our stay. Our only disappointment was that our room was close to the elevator ( specifically asked to be away from the elevator) and we could hear the ding ding each time it stopped on our floor. Also we ended up with an adjoining room door and we could hear every word spoken by the guests next door. Otherwise, the stay was very pleasant and would definitely stay again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by FBT2014 Service needs attention
This hotel is very nice but while I stayed there for a week I began to notice some flaws, not in the room (very nice and comfortable). but the attitude of the wait staff in the restaurant was less than friendly. I found that the staff in the restaurant were rude, unfriendly and seemed unhappy in their jobs and they took their dislike of the jobs out on me and others. My first 2 nights I ordered room service and greeted by a very nice waiter who made me feel very welcome and provided me with excellent service. Other staff were equally friendly. But, I would talk to those restaurant staff.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DN2003 Bad stay
I contacted customer service last night about my stay but was cut off. I had many problems with my visit. The room was freezing in spite of setting the thermostat to 82 degrees. I was told by the front desk that a water bottle would be sent to my room right away. It didn't get there til check out. And, my wake up call for 5 AM so I could catch my flight didn't happen. Instead, a hotel employee knocked very loudly on my door at 5:25.
Overall, I rate this a poor hotel stay. I would have contacted management, but even the shuttle to the airport was late, and just " shmoozing" with staff while guests were anxiously waiting to get to the airport in time for one of the busiest flying times of the season.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DR99 A culture of excellent service
I recently stayed the Sheraton Albuquerque Airport Hotel and was pleasantly surprised but the extraordinary service I received. Every member of the staff I encountered -- from the front desk, to the restaurant, to the airport shuttle -- was genuinely friendly and thoughtful. They were clearly committed to meeting (and even anticipating) the wants and needs of hotel guests. Kudos to the management for creating such a culture of fine service. Throughout the year, I stay at several business hotels across country and I have to say the Sheraton Albuquerque Airport Hotel was a real standout.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Larapoy Great stay, great product
My family stayed at the SAAH after a trip to Santa Fe; we had an early flight out and thought it would be easier to stay near the airport.
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall physical product of the SAAH, the rooms are well appointed, the staff very friendly, restaurnat was "ok" but overall our stay was better than I had expected it would be.
We swam in the pool, had cocktails in the bar, had hors d'oeuvres in the club lounge and ordered dinner in the restaurant.
I would definitely recommend this property as a lovely, clean, pleasant hotel extremely convenient to the ABQ airport.

I recently stayed at the Sunport Sheraton.
I was quite anxious about how our two big dogs in crates would be welcomed. The desk manager, room captain and staff were terrific. They allowed the dogs to walk about the hotel and handled the unwieldy crates with ease then arranged for approprite transportation to the airport at 4:30 am the following morning.We dealt with four different men and they were friendly and helpful. Check in and out was efficient, fast and friendly. I compliment you on your staff. I will certainly stay at this hotle if the occasion arises again

We stayed at this location this past weekend and were very disappointed that the hotel shuttle would not take us to the balloonfest location. We also had problems with room distribution. Our group had 5 rooms and even though I asked several times about whether I had the correct room, I was given the wrong room.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Leigh42 Great, just a couple areas for improvement
The hotel is great, rooms are very clean, bedding is ultra comfy, and it's very quiet. Just a couple of suggestions for improvement. One, I checked in at 5, and rooms still were not fully cleaned. Even when full, can't the housekeeping staff start earlier? Second, I was with a group, and box lunches during our meeting were practically inedible, grandmas brand cookies, mushy apples, and mediocre wraps with too much mayo and limp lettuce. The names of the different options were misleading too, what kind of lunch am I getting when it's called "Casino" or "Duke City? No idea.

I was promptly greeted by the front desk lady and the bellman. Both were kind and helpful. I was traveling with a new dog and the bellman was very assisting in getting me into my room with no hassle. The room was an 'accessible' type room, but was very comfortable. I have noticed that when I use my SPG points , these are the rooms offered. I don't know why. All in all, a very nice hotel with a good staff, i spoke with the lady washing the lobby floor at 430am and she was a happy camper . If Corp. Sheraton keeps their employees happy I would be glad to stay here again. .

Rated 1 out of 5 by jb6785 needs help
Checked in as SPG platinum guest, told I could use high speed internet and would not be changed.... at check out I was charged for internet..... Thought bill was final until received email update this morning with a charge for a bottle of water. This is one of the free bottles in the room which clearly says "free for our Starwood Preferred Guest." I had to take the time to call and get that taken off the bill. I like this hotel for many reasons but having to go over your bill with a fine tooth comb to catch all the mistakes is not something that should have to be done.

Cynthia at the front desk was very helpful with me as I tried to understand the computer to get a boarding pass and check my emails. She was patient and kind. The female in the restaurant on September 1 was also very helpful regarding materials to help us pack our bags for the plane. The upgrade to the top level was definitely worth the extra money as the appetizers and breakfast were just right. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant. Also, loved the pool! Also the shuttle drivers were very polite and engaging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Me20013 Unexpected Luxury
I had to book a hotel near the airport for a very early flight the next morning. A colleague recommended the Sheraton as it was close to the airport. I was expecting the typical small basic room with an open closet and sticky floor. I was very pleasantly surprised to find a recently renovated hotel that was exquisitely appointed (Dark hardwood floors in the entrance, built in closets, marble and tile bathroom). The bed was one of the best I have slept in recently. And the staff were all perfect. It also had a restaurant that had wide food (and seating) choices.

This hotel provides an upscale feel to your stay. Close to Old Town, Downtown and Historic Nob Hill - but you have to have your transportation. Paying for Wi-Fi in room is not so good!

Rated 2 out of 5 by DaveB73 This Hotel needs to improve Check-In!
Our room was booked weeks in advance, but was not available till 4:50 pm. Our check in time was 3:00 pm. Almost 2 hours sitting in the lobby would not be consistent with the "Starwood Preferred Guest" motto!
Our experience was unsatisfactory and we'll not stay with you again! If we cannot get into the Sheraton uptown location, we'll stay at another hotel who does value a "preferred guest!"

Rated 3 out of 5 by robinmc Tossed Salad
This Sheraton got most of the basics right. Room/ bed/ service/ decor/ amenities were familiar and up to spec.
HOWEVER, there were two things:
-The pool was closed for the season. The SPG Club too. Short of an indoor pool, maybe an indoor hot tub would do?
-I had two salads, neither adequate.
At dinner, I asked my server, but the recommended Salmon Salad featured dry, overcooked fish and a super gloppy, over dressed salad. Yuck.
For lunch the next day, I had a good chicken sandwich, but side salad was the sort of Iceberg generic that is just 'Too Denny's' for a Sheraton.
I have stayed in a half a dozen Sheratons for almost 100 nights, so I hope I know what to expect. These two areas need some work, but I think they could be addressed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by feller slightly disappointed
The hotel is wonderful and the staff were great in almost every way... But I was disappointed that I was not upgraded to a club level room since there was availability. They wanted an increased charge of $20.00. I was given an "enhanced room" which basically means I got 2 bottles of water with no wifi. When I was Gold a year ago, if club level was available I was upgraded.... much better than an "enhanced room". I made certain to make gold again this year.... maybe it's not that important anymore. Hotel and people were great other than that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adrian923 Convenient and Tasteful in Albuquerque
I stay in this hotel every August for a meeting, and it gets better every year. It's very convenient to the airport, the pool is great, the rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated and the staff is friendly. The only downside is the buffet breakfast in the restaurant is only OK. And on my last stay I also noticed that the wall between my room and my neighbor was not sound proofed well at all. I could hear quite clearly, the conversations of the family, plus a baby's crying was rather loud.

donnviola here with a question of what causes leaves to suddenly go limp and they are brown and rotten at the crown of the plant? I know sometimes it is root rot but it doesn't always seem to be rotten atthe crown. I read a article in the AVSA magazine about someone that called it a virus that she was fighting. Does anyone have an idea? THanks |

Sorry I should have read the AVSA May/June magazine before I posted this regarding rotting leaves. Has anyone heard ofRhizoctonia salani? There is an article by Joyce Stork on page 31 which describes the rotting leaves. She says you can treat it (should act as quickly as possible) with Banrot 8G, but I looked it up and it is very expensive. Does any one knowof something else that could treat this problem? Thanx donnaviola |

This sounds like a fungus and should be treated with a fungicide. Sorry I haven't had this problem so can't recommend a product. You could scrape out the center, check very carefully that the roots are white and not brown. Then wait for new suckers to grow in the center. You could do a computer search on this disease which would help more. Nancy |
I am assuming you know it isn't water that was standing in the crown that caused it. I once rotted crowns of a lot of new plants because I sprayed them with safer insecticide, the extra spray left in the crowns rotted them. Now anytime I spray or get water at the crown, I blot it out with a tissue. tish |
Never had the problem but sometimes my mom constantly over waters a mini or two and they just rot. I just throw them away for her. I have too many plants to deal with that so I just give her one to replace it. You could try optimara.com and see what the Doc has to say. |

It was a rough week for me. I'm trying to get used to this job I have now. I usually work until 4 p.m. and by the time I get home it is already completely dark, so I can't even take any pictures. Well, to be honest I wasn't even in the mood for painting my nails this week. But the first thing I did this morning - I cut my nails down and gave them some colour :D
I got my very first Ciate polish few days ago and here it is - Ciate Superficial! A gorgeous dark teal shade with creme finish. Formula is good, a bit on the thicker side, but managable. It's also very pigmented, so one coat could be enough, altough I did use two coats for this manicure.
Photo was taken outside, no sun (actually heavy overcast):
And a bonus picture - very first snow in this season:
Is there any snow where you live yet?
Thanks for stopping by! Have a nice weekend :)

Why Does QuickBooks Treat Sales Receipts as OPEN?
Do you know the difference between a Sales Receipt and an Invoice in QuickBooks? I often find that people really don't understand the difference. Sometimes, though I wonder if Intuit understands the difference! There is one aspect to how they show Sales Receipts that really annoys me, so here is my latest rant.
The difference is simple.
- Sell something on an Invoice when you have a receivable. The total amount due is an "open" balance that you hope that your customer will pay. You have not received payment yet.
- Sell something on a Sales Receipt when you have been paid at the time of the sale. The total amount isn't open, you have already received the payment, you just have to deposit it.
That is pretty much the basic issue here. I use Sales Receipts a lot because, in general, I get paid at the time of the sale. They save me the step of having to do an additional receive payments transaction. So, let's look at the Customer Center in QuickBooks 2012 to see how these are shown:
If my Sales Receipt represents a sale that I have already been paid for, why is it showing as open, why is it "aged"? This doesn't make sense to me and it is REALLY annoying. I look at this screen a lot, and seeing the "open balance" and "aging" for a Sales Receipt is misleading and annoying.
Now, I understand that I can use the filters to alter this. Select open invoices and charges and it is hidden. I just don't like to keep adding filters to correct this problem. It should always display correctly! It shouldn't show an open balance at ANY time!
In all fairness, we do have to look at how this is treated in QuickBooks 2013, since it is being released. Is it better? Well, almost.
As you can see they DID change this to hide the Aging value, which is a step in the right direction. But it still shows an open balance when unfiltered.
OK, so it is a small thing, but these are the kinds of things that plague me…

Charlie, you can solve your issue by creating a payment method item(s)on the sales receipt, and have the payment item group to undeposited funds for depositing purposes. The Sales Receipt will be zeroed out and it will display the way you want it to. Hope this helps, and thanks for all your informative articles!
Hi, I just created a sales receipt (first time). How do I record the cash payment against it? I tried under 'Receive Payments" but there is no receipt or anything to connect it to the sale receipt. Any ideas? Thanks so much
Hi Folks…..I'm using quickbooks POS as well as quickbooks accounting software. 90% of my sales are paid in full and rightfully would be sales receipts, but what I've noticed is when I sync with the accounting software some are recorded as invoice and others as sales receipts. Can anyone explain how the software determines this? Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change?
I agree with Charlie. It is not an open amount. And I don't want to have to do some "work-around" to make it like it should be. I get pretty tired of remembering all the work-arounds for QuickBooks.
Carol, yes, sometimes we have to use a lot of workarounds , but in this case, I think it's more of an option, and it can be a very useful one. One example is when a client wants to pay with two methods, like a check and the balance on a credit card. So in the sales receipt you would select the check payment item and then the credit card payment item for the balance. I actually prefer to have my sales receipts zero out–that way I can see in one place that I have accounted for everything.
I wonder if this was an oversight on their part. Why else would they fix the Aging number but not the Open Balance number?
It seems like whatever logic was applied to the Aging would work similarly on the Open Balance.
Baby steps, though, right?!
Charlie, does QuickBooks offer any ideas as to why they don't change this?
I'd have to agree with Sari that you need a payment item on your sales receipt. And no, it's not a work-around, either. After all, where did that sales payment go? By what method was it paid? That's vital information that NEEDS to be posted to the proper accounts in the transaction. Would that be the double entry bookkeeping? I don't know, but wanting a hanging Sales Receipt to magically balance itself it sounds a lot more like a Quicken transaction to me. Disclaimer: I'm not an accountant but a business owner that uses QB to do my bookkeeping and generate reports for my accountant annually.
Gary – I put the payment method in the payment method box on the sales receipt and all my sales receipts post to undeposited funds. Sari is suggesting you use a payment item to zero out the sales receipt and that seems to defeat the purpose of using a sales receipt – which is defined as receiving payment at the time of sale!
MB, that's fine for simple transactions recorded on a transaction by transaction basis. My use is a little more macro: I have created two templates for sales receipts. One is to post my daily retail store sales summaries and the other to post by daily webstore sales summaries. I've created over 90 different seven different 'sales' items to track all the different sales tax jurisdictions I have to report out and 7 different payment items to track the different payment methods. Each payment method is piped to undeposited funds and gets deposited in the proper account when I go to the bank for cash or checks, or shown as deposited when transaction matching the deposit made by my merchant account to the proper account. Every daily sales receipt summary is made up of multiple sales items zeroed out by payment items. It's a relatively complex system that gives me cross-foots in several ways but it does not show each individual transaction as I have other systems that take care of that (cash registers, credit terminals, a web shopping cart, etc). Putting together a working bookkeeping system for my business using QB without turning my established business procedures totally upside down taught me a lot about QB: what works, what doesn't, what's broke what isn't and what I can safely ignore. The Sales Receipt function isn't broken. It works as intended and is totally configurable to adapt to complex business situations by the use of items and zeroing out.
Interesting Discussion indeed! Charlie I've had many a client ask me that same question. "Why is that showing an Open Balance when I know they have paid me?"
VENDOR CENTER has the same problem! So not to add fuel to your fire…but….same issue in A/P. Clients really grumble about checks vs enter/pay bills especially when using POS. Many of my clients will pre-pay for inventory merchandise and post check (or credit card charge) to A/P awaiting for Receiving Voucher to post from POS. When merchandise is received later and Bill comes from POS they apply the check to bill. Well guess what???? Vendor Center still says it is an OPEN BALANCE on that transaction. Same issue as your Sales Receipt.
So bottom line is…my request is that if they ever fix this in the Customer Center they better darn well fix the Vendor Center too.
In both cases I teach my clients to run the Open Invoice Report for A/R and the Unpaid Bills Report for A/P for true open balances.
If they want A/R or A/P history on particular customer/vendor then I teach them to run Customer/Vendor Detail report and filter by specific name. I particularly like this report because it give them a running balance. The Customer/Vendor Centers can't do that at all. This report will exclude Sales Receipts on A/R and Checks not going through A/P. I avoid using the Customer/Vendor Centers because I hate not seeing the running balance. Clients really like these two reports for A/P and A/R and it is certainly less confusing.
Very interesting discussion. When recording cash register daily sales for clients I typically use the sales receipt with payment items to zero it out – it works very nicely – except that the Mac version can't accept the idea that a payment item can be used on a sales receipt (at least the Mac 2009 version – haven't tried on a newer version), so I have to use another designation type for my payment items to fake out the system, or use invoices instead (same concept – still hits zero).
Regarding your open sales receipts, I have noticed that credit card payments have a similar issue – when you run a custom detail report for job costing showing all transactions related to a job (A/R and A/P) with the paid/unpaid filter on, the vendor credit card payments show a status of unpaid – which is impossible!
Now you tell me! AFTER I just taught a client how to use Sales Receipts instead of invoices. Very annoying…
Pretty unrelated, but any chance you have found a way to search for a sales receipt by the check number it was paid by? I have been struggling with this issue. I know that I can run a report, but that's something like 5 extra steps. Definitely my pet peeve. Apparently searching by number only turns up the sales number, not the check number. We don't even keep track of sales numbers, as a customer will often not be able to recite that number when asking about their payment, and our bank does not record it, so it's not very useful.
We used to run everything through receive payments, regardless of the payment time, and it let us search by check number then. Unfortunately by switching to sales receipts, we sacrificed searching efficiency.
Thanks for any help! I agree that QuickBooks is not always intuitive.
My computer crashed and I lost all my data. I have reinstalled quickbooks which I hadn't even tried yet when the other computer fried. I have the newest version. Needless to say I have enter all my invoices for the past year. It has an issue with the dates, and when I try to add multiple items on the invoice when I hit enter on one it closes the invoice! I need to recreate the whole thing. Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks
Hi Charlie,
Question, I am new to bookkeeping, so have basic questions. I have a client who did all her own bookkeeping through Quickbooks Online for the first 5 months of the year. She has entered invoices and sales receipts for the same client. Is this recording the revenue twice?
Also, is there any reason she would use cash draws to receive payments, and pay expenses, and also receive payments and pay expenses through her primary bank account? I just want to ensure I have the right information moving forward.
Thank you.
Enjoy your rants and they help understanding. However I am trying to show customer sales receipts and their deposits on my customer statements, but I can only show sales invoices and their payments – is there a method of showing all customer sales and payments on a customer statement?receipts on my customer statements -
We have a sales order for 7830.02. Customer paid so we created a sales receipt. Now works done and it was a little less so the invoice was processed at 7800.36. What we have been doing in in a line item at the bottom of the invoice we created a ITEM CODE that is Customer Deposit and we show customer their payment there. But in this case Sales Receipt was for 7830.02 and now the invoice is 7800.36 which leave s a over payment of $29.66 – I cant credit a negative amount (obviously)I tried doing it other ways by just showing a credit that still doesn't work as i don't want it to reflect any items just general credit. Any ideas would be helpful
Oh and we use QB Enterprise
Yes, this issue irks me too. In doing my reporting at the month end I generate a list that shows which Invoices have been paid. All my Sales Receipts always show up as Unpaid, then I have to pencil it in that the cash was received. I mean after all these years QkBks can't solve this problem???? Arrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same issue as Anastasia. I want the Sales Receipts to show up as PAID on reports, not UNPAID. It's confusing enough for accounting dept to see those transactions as unpaid, and really messes up other departments. We have to manually work those transactions when we are sending reports.
How can this be fixed?

What's the secret to giving the perfect present every time? It's all about taking some time to consider the personality of the person you're shopping for. Follow these five tips, and you can be a good gift-giver -- while saving money, too.
Read More
Take notes throughout the year when people express interest in something. It may be a luxury that they wouldn't buy for themselves, or it may just be an area of interest that they like to talk about. Someone who loves to camp and hike will appreciate outdoorsy gifts, like new gear to replace outdated items. Your friend who loves to talk about recipes and shop at specialty food stores will love a foodie gift. Look for gifts that support their hobbies and you'll show how well you've been paying attention to them.
Make sure to notice if they have a need that isn't being met. Have they complained about always needing a better pair of gloves? Do they borrow a kitchen tool from a neighbor? Do they spend a lot of money renting athletic equipment, like skis or golf carts? Filling that need is a good way to make sure your gift is appreciated and not stuck in a closet, never to be used.
The biggest gift-giving mistake is to give people something you love and would love receiving without considering if the recipient would enjoy it the same way. One exception: If you're buying a baby gift for a new parent, and you've had kids, feel free to give the new mom and dad something that made your life easier. If you have no idea where to start, try using our gift finder, which will walk you through the decision process.
Shop with a goal in mind, but give yourself some leeway, too. Unless you're shopping for children's toys, you can probably get something from a general category. That way, instead of giving someone exactly what they wanted, you can surprise them something they didn't know they wanted yet. If you're shopping for a child, especially for Christmas, you'll want to search for the exact toy they asked for.
Watch for the big holiday shopping days, like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and stock up when there are the best deals on gifts. Even if you're buying a gift for Mother's Day, you can store it with a sticky note to remind you to give it when the day gets closer.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › About the College › News Events and Publications › News › Collins College of Business announces School of Energy Economics, Policy and Commerce
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
New school will begin operations on July 1, 2014
The University of Tulsa's Collins College of Business is creating a School of Energy Economics, Policy and Commerce in response to growth in TU's energy business degree programs and an increased need for trained energy professionals who can meet today's business challenges. The school will begin operations July 1, 2014, under the leadership of Professor Tim Coburn.
The Collins College of Business offered its first energy-focused business degree in the fall of 2007 with the launch of an Energy Management program. Under the leadership of founding director Ted Jacobs, the program rapidly earned a reputation as one of the top in the nation. With the success of the Energy Management program, the college expanded its energy offerings to meet the industry's need for highly educated and skilled energy business professionals.
A minor in energy was added in 2010, and an online master of energy business degree accepted its first students in 2012. Enrollment in the college's energy programs now exceeds 250 students. The college's Center for Executive and Professional Development also offers a number of noncredit executive and professional development programs for the energy industry. To accommodate the program's continued growth, TU has added energy business faculty with in-depth knowledge and substantial industry experience in energy law, energy finance, energy accounting, energy policy, energy economics and energy commodity trading.
"Establishing the School of Energy Economics, Policy and Commerce solidifies TU's commitment to providing interdisciplinary, energy-focused business degree programs that meet the demands of an evolving energy industry," said Gale Sullenberger, dean of the Collins College of Business. "The school and its faculty look forward to the continued expansion of TU's energy business degree and executive education programs and developing research initiatives that advance the energy industry around the world."
Faculty members for the new school include professors Tim Coburn, Brice Collier, Mark Collins, Dan Crunkleton, Don Hansen, Ted Jacobs, Linda Nichols, Jeff Paul, Ron Ripple, Tom Seng and Roger Stern.
Also housed in the Collins College of Business are the School of Accounting & Management Information Systems, the School of Finance, Operations Management & International Business and the Department of Management & Marketing.

This came up in a game yesterday.
My opponent used Questionable Contacts to move 1 damage from one of his units to one of mine. Can I use a unit with Protect to redirect the damage?
We decided you could not, because you are not damaging the unit, you are just moving damage from one unit to another.
Questionable Contacts
Reaction: After you refresh, damage this objective to move 1 damage from a target friendly unit to a target enemy unit.
Emperor's Royal Guard
Protect Character. (If a Character card you control would be damaged, you may place the damage on this unit instead.)
Does anybody disagree?

The Horrors and The Enemy: from the sublime to the successful
Finally making it onto the Carling Weekend: Reading Festival site, we ran and caught two new(ish) groups, The Horrors and The Enemy. Despite both being bigged up by the NME, the groups share little in common and have slagged each other off in the press. A fan standoff awaits?
Uh, no, unfortunately not. There were a few more big-haired, kohl-clad punters for The Horrors and a few more tracksuited scallies for The Enemy, but the NME/Radio 1 Tent harmony was retained.
The Horrors performed a selection of tracks from their debut, 'Strange House', including 'Draw Japan', 'Count In Fives' and their "international superhit" (according to singer Faris) 'Sheena Is A Parasite', dressed in black t-shirts rather than their customary selection of jackets and waistcoats - it is hot out here, you know...
It's a shame The Horrors are such an image-conscious band, because it probably puts a lot of people off them - there's a lot to love about them. During closer 'Gloves' they prove themselves to be a great, uncompromising, rock and roll band, taking the twenty second middle eight into a twisted freak out, guitarist Joshua Third and organist Spider Webb layering white noise upon white noise. It's The Jesus And Mary Chain meets The Birthday Party meets The Stooges. All too swiftly, it's over.
Perhaps for contrast, The Enemy, who've just pulled out of Leeds to support The Rolling Stones on Sunday, are zipped up in bright white tracksuits, and they draw a much larger crowd than The Horrors - by the end, people are queueing out of the tent to get a look in.
Unsurprisingly for a band with a number one album under their belt, the crowd are singing along to every line of The Enemy's songs, hands in the air like they, ahem, just can't care enough about this band.
As much as the audience enjoy it, we just can't get into it. They're obviously indebted to The Jam, but they take out Weller's subtleties and replace them with hollow and simplistic sloganeering. The title track of their record 'We'll Live And Die In These Towns' even seems to mash up 'That's Entertainment' and 'Going Underground'.
"We'll see you this time next year," shouts Tom Clarke at the end, "on the main stage."
Alright mate, chill out. He's probably right, though.
Words: Tom Pinnock

FOX Sports had an embarrassing mishap during the opening of Friday night's broadcast of the AT&T Cotton Bowl between Texas A&M and Oklahoma when they missed the opening kickoff of the game while conducting a sideline interview.
Sideline reporter Julie Alexandria was interviewing Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin as the kickoff took place, so Sumlin missed the opening kickoff along with all of the viewers. FOX didn't even switch cameras to capture the live action while the interview was taking place.
There's no excuse for making a mistake like that during a broadcast, and we're surprised that Sumlin didn't decline the interview so that hewalk away because of the bad timing. Good thing FOX isn't carrying the BCS National Championship game Monday night.

Topping the list of striking features at 420 El Camino Del Mar are the home's abundance of natural light, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and Golden Gate Bridge, and thrilling design concept of architect Joseph Esherick. Esherick was the recipient of the gold medal of the American Institute of Architects in 1989, placing him in the company of other honoree giants, including Frank Lloyd Wright.
When you walk thru the front door, you are welcomed by an open staircase and light flooding in from the skylight 25 feet above. This level of the home sets the stage for casual entertaining with a large family room with Golden Gate views, a wet bar and sliding glass doors opening to the front patio. A bedroom overlooking a private patio, a full bath and a flex room with a Golden Gate view that could be used as an additional bedroom, an exercise room or an office completes this floor. An elevator serves as an additional amenity.
Art collectors will appreciate the exceptional wall space and natural lighting throughout the home. The sweeping vista from the upper level is captivating as you experience the spectacular view thru a 20 foot expanse of glass. This open space highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace and high ceiling height is a perfect example of Esherick's focus on the environment relating to the user.
A large Formal Dining Room, an Eat-in kitchen overlooking the enclosed garden plus two bedrooms and a full bath are also found on this level. The third bedroom in this area is the Master Suite with Golden Gate views, his and her closets and a walk out balcony.
Esherick, as part of his unique design, created a perfect setting for both children and adults within a sophisticated landscaped patio. His goal was to provide in the front of the house, a place for flowing indoor/outdoor entertaining and play.
A full basement on ground level with outdoor access provides for an ample amount of storage. There is a spacious detached four car garage and driveway parking for two additional automobiles.
Noted Bay Area architect Joseph Esherick (1938-1996) was considered a master of environmental design. Born in Philadelphia and graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1937, Esherick set up practice in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1953 and taught at the University of California, Berkeley for many years. In 1959, he was one of the cofounders of Berkeley's influential College of Environmental Design.
Esherick was a self-effacing architect who won acclaim for his people friendly designs and stated "the ideal kind of building is one you don't see". Accordingly his buildings were designed to blend into their surroundings and serve their occupants, not shout his name.
Notable among his many projects are The Cannery in San Francisco, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Hermitage Condominiums in San Francisco and the Cary House in Mill Valley. In l989 Esherick was awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal for lifetime achievement.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Michelle (O)Date: Monday, 25 January 1999, at 8:42 p.m.
In Response To: Desperate! (chet sandberg)
When was the last time you did some cardio vascular exercise???? It is on our HB list, and I get extremely depressed (i mean EXTREMELY) if I do not get daily exercise. You might be like that too. The ONLY thing that helps is to get out there on the road and jog, run, walk briskly, whatever you have to, but that is my only saviour. The longer I prolong the exercise, the worse I get. I have been fired from a job from being so bitter and angry and upset all the time. I associate that kind of behavior from not enough exercise.
Maybe I'm all wrong, but sounds like it might not be too much work to feel good again...30 min/day...More, if you want!
Also, when I start to feel bad, I usually force myself to eat LESS. When I'm depressed, I tend to eat more so hard as it is, I force myself to exercise, and eat less. Usually it does the trick. More food=makes me feel bad... less food=don't feel bad, bloated, sick...etc.
Just trying to help. Exercise is the key for most of us 'Os' to "feel good" overall.
Good Luck and hang in there, we're here with you. -Michelle

My sexy first love wants me to cheat on my wife
MY first love has come back into my life. She says I am her dream man and she wants to be my mistress for life – but we're both married.
I am 29, she's 23. She was only 14 when we met and fell in love. She was too young for sex and I went away for five years. We had no contact. She met a guy who everyone in her family liked and they now have a son. I am married too.

8 a.m.
At breakfast Israel stares at pancakes and juice. A nurse asks why he's not eating. He explains that he hasn't had much appetite since he arrived. Is there something you'd like for lunch and dinner? she asks. His heart races: He might just be here for good.
He goes to his room and weeps. Then he pulls himself together. Norwood has already told him that mingling with the others will help his chances of getting out. He goes to a weekly meeting of patients to discuss living conditions. Norwood comes in and gives him a quick glance but doesn't acknowledge him again. Another bad sign, he thinks. The meeting lasts an hour. He keeps his mouth shut, hoping he won't be at the next one.
11:45 a.m.
Norwood tells Israel that she spoke with Israel's mother, who lives in Oklahoma. Norwood says Israel's mom has told her that he is a problem child and that she's scared about what he might do.
Israel promises Norwood that he'll get rid of his gun as soon as he gets home. She hands him his discharge report. It reads: "Mood disorder--not specified." She had to put something down, she tells him.
"Do you need family counseling?" she asks.
"I could probably use some," he says.
She writes down the name of a psychiatrist and tells him to call if he wants to make an appointment.
2 p.m.
More TV, a few more cigarettes. Norwood finds Israel and says she's talked to J.J. about his release and that J.J. is glad he's okay. Norwood tells him he's been caught in the "crossfire" of a dysfunctional family. He should try to protect himself from letting this happen again, she says.
His psych evaluation indicates that Israel is "calm, cooperative" and without any "overt mood instability, vegetative or manic or psychotic symptoms."
He fills out a final questionnaire, receives his keys and leaves. He walks up Colfax, stops for some money at a 7-Eleven ATM, buys a Gatorade and waits for the bus. "This is bullshit," he thinks to himself on the ride home.
According to the Colorado Revised Statues, a person can be placed under an involuntary emergency-mental-health hold if he appears to be mentally ill and is an imminent danger to others or to himself, or appears to be gravely disabled. In recent years, several court decisions have congealed to create an additional standard known as "potentiality." Now, if doctors fear a person is not currently but soon will become an imminent danger to himself or others, he can be held against his will.
The State of Colorado does not keep records on the number of mental-health holds at private health-care facilities, but it does track holds placed by the state's three largest public mental-health centers--which account for the majority of such holds. In fiscal year 1998, Denver Health Medical Center admitted 837 patients against their will (the Fort Logan Community Mental Health Center made 352 such holds, and the Pueblo Mental Health Center made 459). A small number of individuals are released after 72 hours, while the majority voluntarily consent to additional treatment.
Lutheran Medical Center has declined to answer several specific questions about Stan Israel. Instead, the hospital issued a statement reading: "We believe that Mr. Israel's case was handled appropriately and with the utmost care. The assessment conducted in the Emergency Department was proper and thorough. Both the Emergency Room physician and the psychiatrist on call agreed with the procedure recommended in this case." Dr. Lewis did not return several phone calls from Westword seeking comment. The VA's Dr. Norwood has also declined to speak with Westword.
Denver Assistant City Attorney Morris Evans defends institutions in cases like these. He thinks the potentiality standard--which makes it easier to hold people against their will--is a good idea.
"If you're saying you don't want dangerous, mentally ill people in the community unless they're treated, ipso facto you have to include the concept of potentiality," Evans says. "Otherwise, you have to wait until something happens, and then it becomes a criminal matter."
That Israel volunteered to go to the hospital may not have helped him, either. "A person does it with the intention of doing the right thing," says one physician who asked not to be identified. "The emergency room perceives that this guy wouldn't come down unless he was really distressed."
May 8, 1998, 4:30 p.m.
Stan Israel arrives home. He is relieved, dead tired, grimy and pissed.
He heads straight to the shower to clean up. Israel is free, but far from satisfied. For days he cannot eat much, can't sleep. He has nightmares of being locked up. He wants to take his revenge: lawsuits against Lutheran for keeping him against his will, against his sister for reporting false information, against the cops--surely they knew what was going to happen and lied to him to get him to go along.
The Lakewood police will not discuss the specifics of Israel's case. Agent Mary Munger, one of the officers who transported Israel to Lutheran, has no comment for Westword; her partner, Agent Tracy Lee, did not return several phone calls seeking comment. Lakewood police lieutenant John Camper, who oversees officers on patrol, speaks generally about what happens when his officers respond to a potential mental-health call. "Maybe it's a pendulum," he says. "On one end, you have what the person is saying; on the other, you have what the reporting party is saying. You have to weigh them. It's not an exact science. I would very much doubt that [an officer] would say, 'Let's straighten this out.' That would be an odd thing to say. For crying out loud, what gets straightened out at a hospital? But I just don't know."

I was introduced to SASEF in 2002 during an english class, then SASEF taught me how to voluntier, and also to understand on how to work as volunteer, sometimes I say that I'm the most suspect to speak about SASEF as am what I'm because they came to my country and started to teach and help people on how to be focus on life goals, like to go back to school and how importatant is the education. Also I was well trained by them and started to attend trainings, workshop at regional and global level.

Mises Daily
The Carriage-Trade Trend
At the doctor's office, we are faced with long waiting periods in crowded waiting rooms, and when the doctor finally sees us, he is rushed for time. The quality of service and the attention to detail suffer in such a situation, increasing the level of frustration for both doctor and patient.
The doctor's every action is monitored-either directly, by government bureaucrats, or indirectly, by trial lawyers. The regulatory burden faced by doctors is enormous and escalating, requiring them to employ staffs of workers whose sole job is to comply with reams of paperwork. It doesn't help that the process of becoming an M.D. has been made hopelessly expensive. It is common for young doctors to finish their residencies with debts in the six figures, and that encourages them to enter high-paying specialties and to avoid general medicine.
This is all by design. Licensure laws and federal regulations reduce the number of doctors in legal markets. Some doctors may complain about the system, but from the beginning, its purpose was to reduce entry into the medical field so that existing practitioners could maintain more control over their prices.
A growing number of physicians are seceding from this system. Frustrated by the regulatory quagmire that affects their quality of service, not to mention their peace of mind, these doctors are jumping on the trend for "carriage trade" in medical services. Under this system, doctors inform their patients that they are switching to a new pricing system involving a large annual premium that allows access to the doctors' services.
Patients who pay this premium are entitled to premium services, such as no-wait appointments, same-day lab tests, and home drug delivery. Depending on the market, these premiums can vary anywhere from $1,500 to $20,000 a year. Once the premium is paid, however, the prices charged for medical services are the same as those currently charged by the medical profession as a whole. (Patients who dislike this multitariff pricing scheme are given ample time to switch to another doctor.)
Doctors that opt for this pay-for-privilege service are finding that they have more time to spend with individual patients and give better care as a result, while the patients that can afford the care are able to opt out of many of the problems associated with visits to the doctor's office. One particular (and reassuring) advantage of the system applies to patients who are prone to medical emergencies. They can see their personal physician whenever they want.
One doctor who switched to a carriage-trade pricing scheme told The Wall Street Journal that his patient list dropped from more than 3,000 to about 600 (an 80-percent decrease), and that, for him, the choice boiled down to either switching or retiring. Under his old practice, he saw anywhere from 20 to 30 patients a day, and the quality of his care suffered. Now he has more time to engage in the type of activities that attracted him to the medical profession in the first place.
What attracts people to medicine has nothing to do with complying with a myriad of regulations decreed from Washington bureaucracies. Though cloaked with good intentions, these regulations increase the full cost of providing medical care and produce adverse consequences as a result. How many doctors retire early instead of choosing continued compliance with Washington's edicts? How many resources are diverted from increasing the number of medical services offered (and thus from placing a downward pressure on prices)? How many doctors redirect their human capital investment into high-priced specialties so as to justify the increased costs that accompany a career in the medical field?
In other words, for any seen benefit of a regulation, how many unseen costs are produced as a result?
Predictably, the trend for carriage trade has caught the attention of those who currently collect economic rents from the existing medical system in the U.S. After all, such freedom of choice draws attention to the shortcomings of the existing system, in much the same way that the success of Federal Express and United Parcel Service draws attention to the shortcomings of the U.S. Post Service. Its critics have termed carriage-trade practices "concierge care," in an effort to create class resentments toward those who want to opt out of the current system. Since socialism can only be successful when everyone suffers equally, the powers that be have come out against carriage-trading.
For example, Arthur L. Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, calls the carriage-trade trend "abysmally sad," adding, "We don't want our doctors to be frazzled or inattentive, which has happened by unleashing market forces with inadequate resources. I might pay a fee to talk to the doctor, too. But I'd hope we could create a system where the doctor could talk to me for more than a minute without a surcharge."
What is "abysmally sad" about this statement is its ignorance of the price system. When the costs for a service such as meeting with a doctor are socialized, then no one individual has an incentive to conserve his consumption of such a service. The resulting excess demand decreases the possibility that anyone will ever have quality time with a physician. This, in a nutshell, is why the U.S. medical system is such a mess today.
But note Dr. Caplan's broader point: When onerous regulations force firms (or, in this case, physicians) to reduce the quality of their services, the blame must be placed on market forces, not on the regulations themselves. To suggest otherwise would be committing a secular heresy in our current zeitgeist. Again, his defense of the regulatory state unmasks ignorance of the market process. Many of the products we use and take for granted every day were first marketed solely to the rich. Why wouldn't the same process apply to medical services?
The answer, of course, is that the government, in league with the American Medical Association, won't allow it. Falling prices mean smaller profits for existing providers. Any attempts to circumvent the present system, which is really a cartel in health care, must be attacked lest it weakens the system.
Carriage-trade medical services have already been established in most major municipalities throughout the United States. They will continue to thrive, provided the medical establishment doesn't succeed in squelching their growth.

Would you post some pictures of your undermount sinks with the negative reveal. If you have a postitive one, that would be good also.
Thank you very much in advance. |

A negative reveal means that the countertop extends slightly beyond the basin edge. None of the sink mounting flange is visible. Here is a photo of my Blanco SuperSingle sink with a negative reveal: There are two schools of thought on undermount reveals. Those who think like me, preferring a negative reveal because there's just one less edge to gather debris or require scrubbing. The other group prefers a positive reveal (where a small amount of the flat mounting flange is visible inside the sink cutout in the countertop), reasoning that there are no hidden places for debris or grime to collect. My experience is that little or no grime collects beneath the edge of the sink opening with my negative reveal (I never find accumulated crud there). I also think it's an architecturally cleaner look, with one less layer of detail. Your choice will just depend on your personal preference. |
sorry off topic but jamesk what is your countertop - it is stunning!!!! |
- Posted by lisamariess (My Page) on Tue, Nov 20, 07 at 7:40
Thank you patches and jamesk for the pictures-your sinks look great! I wonder if anyone has a picture of one with a rounded edge-not sure what it is called, like a quarter bull nose or something like that. Where the edge rounds over the sink? Thanks again. |
You just answered my concerns as well. We just had our countertops installed and thoght we were getting a negative reveal but now have a tiny amount of sink showing. I am glad to know that there is really two trains of thought . And one more thing i will learn to live with |
Am I correct that a "zero" reveal is also an option? Pros? Cons? A photo from anyone? |
- Posted by monroviamom (My Page) on Thu, Nov 29, 07 at 10:07
I wanted a zero reveal... unfortunately, the sink I selected (Blancodiamond silgranit super sized single) had a slight curvature on the edging of the sink (by the edge, I mean the flat "lip" that surrounds the sink & is mounted -- hope this makes sense). As a result, I have a very, very moderate positive reveal (which I'm fine with). |
Thanks for the info on reveals - I have to make a choice soon. Another OT question - patti823, what is your countertop material, and what coloer. BTW, love you backsplash!! Thanks, gng |
gneegirl- Thanks for the compliment! The counter is granite. The color is UbaTuba, a very dark green with flecks of gold veining and black running through it. Patti |
Thanks on the granite color. I know UbaTuba pretty well, but from picture angle I couldn't see UbaTuba. Again, it looks very nice. |
Oh, good grief - another decision I didn't even know I had to make. I can't tell anything on these pix - will have to check reveals as I look for faucets. Looks to me like Jamesk has soapstone: maybe Green Mountain ice flower, unoiled. Whatever it is, it's beautiful. |
I'm impressed! Thx Raynag. We are making our concrete countertops but I just love Jamesk's stone. That's also the colour I'm aiming for. Right now we are figuring out how to support our sink beneath the concrete (no plywood) and we will also be using a negative reveal. |
My soapstone was called "Classic Donato" by Michael Homchick Stoneworks in Kenmore, WA. The name may be a proprietary one given to it by that particular stone yard. I'm not sure. The photo above was taken shortly after the completion of my home renovation in late 2005. Since then (and as all soapstone will do), it has darkened somewhat with daily use and after occasional oilings. It is, however, still a soft greenish-grey colour that I'm very pleased with. Here is a more recent photo showing a section of stone at the corner of the sink: |

Thanks to y'all for the photos. The negative reveal photos have convinced me that's what I want when we do the kitchen. : ) Susan |
- Posted by organic_donna (My Page) on Sat, Dec 1, 07 at 15:59
Here's mine. This faucet is a good example of what not to get. The reach is not far enough for a double sink and it does not have a pullout. |
I have what must be an obviously stupid question, as I have never seen it mentioned before. Why does an undermount sink have to sit at the lower edge of the counter? Can it not sit flush or just ever so slightly lower so that there is no counter edge showing around the perimeter around the sink? |
- Posted by julier1234 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 1, 07 at 17:26
Any comments on why a zero reveal vs. a negatve reveal? Is it primarily a cosmetic decision? Does the sink choice influance the decision? Is one easer to clean than the other? |
IMO, a straight vertical line is easier to clean than a zig zag line, is it not? A 0 reveal is like a straight vertical line, easy to clean & wipe (in 1 shot). A negative or positive reveal is similar to a vertical zig zag. I imagine that they would be a bit bothersome to clean. Especially so with a positive reveal since it would have water sit on the edge often; thus, needs more wiping to keep it clean. |
sjerin, what you're asking is that either the sink wouldn't have a rim to be mounted on, or the stone must be slit horizontally around the sink hole edge to tuck in the rim of the sink. Scenario #1, no rim to support. The sink may be too weak to be supported. The only support would have to be under the sink and that all depend on the type of the cabinets and the weight of the sink. Scenario #2, to cut a slit around the edge opening is possible but I don't know if they make a diamond head tool for it. First the stone must be strong, 2nd, it must be thick enough to have a slit. To be able to mount the sink, the seam of the stone countertop must be at the sink opening in order to slide the rim of the sink into the slits. Then the seams would be "glue" together. I imagine, if you ask a skilled fabricator, he/she can find ways to do it but it'd cost you a bundle for labor. |
OT...Patti82, what is your backsplash? Slate? Other? What about vendor & Color name? TIA!! |
- Posted by organic_donna (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 07 at 7:32
The main reason is the fabricator. The easiest to fabricate is a negative reveal because it doesn't have to be even, mistakes don't show. On the other hand a zero reveal has to be exact as well as a positive reveal. My fabricator wanted the negative because it was the easiest to fabricate. I liked the look because it's more comtemporary. If I was doing a traditional kitchen I would have went with a positive reveal. JMO, Donna |
buehl- Yes, my backsplash is slate and it's called Baoding Cream, by Rush River Stone Studios. Here's a link to the place where I purchased it. |

I love your sink Julie. I should because we have the same one! I asked for a zero reveal and I am very happy with it. |
- Posted by bayareafrancy (My Page) on Mon, Dec 3, 07 at 13:14
A negative reveal might be better for hiding imperfections in a handmade sink, like the Shaw's farm sink. If your top lip is especially wavy, or slanted (as mine is), then a negative reveal will hide that better. (But lots of people have Shaw's with postivie reveals. Mine is too wonky.) Regarding negative vs zero reveal, with a zero reveal, one will see the caulk, right? So that may or may not be an issue for someone. I prefer not to see the caulk, so I prefer even a tiny negative reveal (like 1/16th-1/8th). Regarding the question about why an undermount sink has to sit lower than the counter. The easiest answer is because that is the definition of "undermount." :-) There is also an "upmount" style where it sits above the counter. And there is a "flushmount" where the counter and sink are on the same level. But some of these styles can probably only be done with a farm style sink that sits on a base, and needs no support from above. Francy |
Thanks very much ntt hou and Francy. I think I don't realize just how an undermount sink is installed; I thought only drop-ins have to sit on a rim, but then, duh, what else would hold it up?? It's good to know about a possible "flushmount". |

PUNE: The health department of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation ( PCMC) has proposed to replace deposits taken from patients, with advance fee at the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (YCMH) and eight other civic hospitals. While the deposits were refunded at the time of discharge, the advance fee will be adjusted against the final bill amount.
This will not only reduce traffic at the cash counters, but also the manpower required at the billing counters at civic hospitals.
A proposal to this effect will be tabled before the standing committee meeting to be held on Thursday. The proposal states that around 200 patients are admitted and an equal number are discharged daily from YCMH.
The health department takes deposit from patients and gives a receipt, and the money is refunded at the time of discharge. There are also large numbers of outdoor patients who come for treatment resulting in long queues at the cash counters.
The health department proposes to take advance fees from the patients which will be adjusted against the actual bill. This system is to be followed in other civic hospitals too which will reduce the workload of the employees.
Elaborating on the advantages of the new system, the proposal states that all civic hospitals will have a single system of billing instead of different methods. It will reduce the need for manpower and time in refunding deposits plus preparing final bills and accepting payments.
YCMH medical superintendent Anand Jagdale said, "The new method will be beneficial for patients as well as the civic health department.Patients will not have to stand in queue twice and we will require two clerks less for the job."
