Hi Everyone -
I was just responding to another thread about stainless countertops and I thought that after a lot of research and thinking about it and now experience, I'd share my oh-so-valuable opinions (ahem) about putting stainless in a kitchen that has a period look - in my case craftsman look I guess. It's a different look and not many will be doing searches for this but for those that do (as I had searched wildly and came up with almost nothing at the time), it'll be here. :) There's a LOT HERE so forgive me for going into so much detail please!! - if you have it done by a fabricator and one that will stand behind their product, it's not cheap and will usually cost about as much - sometimes less - as a good quality wood countertop. I got it because I was always so drawn to the zinc in old craftsman houses e.g. butlers' pantries - and wanted to bring that look about, as well as do something unexpected yet somehow still acceptable in an old house. Oddly enough I think if I had a modern house, I'd never do stainless. Just had to do something a little different and extra courageous for some crazy reason! I often wonder how in-love I'd be with the soapstone I'd planned on going with. I have no doubt that I'd be really in love!! I wish my kitchen could have permitted both. I also didn't go with soapstone cause in the N.W. it would never have been installed back in the day (again, we're pretending my countertop is zinc - haha). I also wanted wood but was afraid we'd get it all gross around the sink and that I'd be fussing about and worrying about it too much. I still long for that wood though, just as I do the soapstone! My compromise is having a wood island top (and I already had fir floors) and I have black accents to bring in that nice contrasty look soapstone would have provided. - What's so important if you're going for the period look with stainless, IMO, is that you make the countertop hight thinner. Thicker stainless looks more modern. Zinc contertops tended to be thinner back in the day from what I recall via photos. Not a lot - just a little. - What's also really important and isn't easy to pull off, is that you pay more if need be and get a fabricator that is willing to more or less guarantee you get a silky smooth finish (one that is so smooth because the belts used in making it were well worn as opposed to newer belts). The samples shown at some of the fabricators I visited showed subtle lines in the metal which gives a more modern, gritty, darker look and they couldn't promise I wouldn't get that so I left. The velvety smooth, reflective, almost liquid appearance of the stainless I prefer needs to be gotten for sure, in order for the scratches to melt away as well as to give the room that peaceful, light, almost nickel feel that stainless can indeed pull off if it's smooth and shiny enough. Even after years of lots and lots of scratches, which I know after years of experience with our previous island's surface. Gets better with age in fact. This is the most important point I have to make (well that and a heavy-enough gauge) if you don't want a depressing cold feel. With a good stainless finish, at times it looks almost white! My first countertop was GORGEOUS but they goofed off on the overhang. Their replacement wasn't as nice but it's good enough, glossiness-wise. - You have to invest in the hardest stainless that can be reasonably bought and it won't dent, and that's 14 gauge. Ours has been challenged by extremely heavy objects and we've been shocked to see no dents after a few big potential disasters! The typical stuff on islands is 18 and most people upgrade to 16 so we took it a step further. Our 18 gauge island top dented a few times, a little. I expected a major price increase but for some reason, no! And obviously you want to make sure it has a good solid surface right underneath to help prevent that denting as well. - In a period home, stainless needs lots of warmth around it to contrast with and keep it feeling warm and cozy (these are all just my own opinions here!). So either wood floors or a wood island, etc. Maybe cream paint instead of white. And warmer, redder or chocolatey wood goes better IMO than maple (though maple's fine) - it just helps with the golden feel somehow. I think stainless also looks better if surrounded by natural elements from the Earth like marble too (especially marble that's got some tan thrown in for that warmth, like calacatta if I'm spelling that right). And maybe this is just me but I think when it comes to a period-ish kitchen with a stainless counter, the less stainless elsewhere the better. It's been a real challenge to avoid too much stainless but it's the only way I could pull off the look. So our fridge is the only other appliance that's stainless and it's on the opposite wall so you don't really see it when looking at the countertop. The stove and hood are white. Stove is nothing special at ALL but I hope to upgrade to a vintage stove (haha - upgrade?!) someday and when I do it will be either white, cream or maybe blue or red (vintage style at least). Same with the hood (would like to someday get an even nicer but still not-stainless hood someday)...and our dishwasher's integrated so just looks like a cabinet. Also, our kitchen is smaller and North facing. If we had a super huge, bright kitchen, I'm not sure how much I'd like stainless. It might be that I would, but the kitchen that inspired mine didn't seem to be a very bright kitchen either and I loved it in hers, and love it in mine. Here's the kitchen that inspired me re. the stainless with marble in an old house (although I went with marble 2x6 tile and could never ever afford such a gorgeous stove as she got!!): https://picasaweb.google.com/quapaw/Our1890HomeAndKitchenRemodelRestoration#5252784751145550706 https://picasaweb.google.com/quapaw/Our1890HomeAndKitchenRemodelRestoration#5252785683535247410 I think I would love her stainless counters even more if her hood weren't stainless, gorgeous as it is. Such weird little rules I have!!! : - / - re. low or high-maintenance, it depends on how you look at it and what else you're doing around it. See about cleaning, below. Some put hot pans on it and many say it's okay to do so but I haven't done that yet myself. If I were doing that, I'd say it would have to be a very good countertop option! So far no spills have hurt it and left-on tomato sauce hasn't been an issue in the slightest. With a heavy enough gauge as we have, it can take a lot of abuse. Still no dents after 1.5 years and a crazy wild family and a few accidents with heavy things. It will scratch, though not badly, with normal use, and you'd have to be okay with getting that patina look over time (and this will be really hardly noticeable at all if you get the right, smooth finish to begin with - like glass). In our case, we have a wall-mounted faucet and no dispensers so cleaning behind the sink is effortless. If we didn't have it this way, it might be higher-maintenance, I don't know! Probably no more than other materials. - re. cleaning and the talk of stainless being hard to clean which I've read in the past: yes and no. Stainless isn't hard to clean at all - in fact it's very easy to clean (things come off easily). For anything stuck on, I use a non-abrasive sponge that has the look of being abrasive (you know, the non-green-colored ones) and it comes right out. My gripe however is that if you're trying to keep it like new which we all tend to do even if we know better, you might want to go with the grain if you have a rougher sponge for general cleaning, or else like I said, get a stainless counter that's extremely smooth and glossy to begin with in which case the grain just won't be noticeable. That part might be seen as a pain to some. People with wood countertops probably experience the same thing. Even though I'm not anal about scratches, i find myself going with the grain for some reason - just postponing the total broken-in "patina" look I guess! ;) I don't like the look of stainless that's been deliberately scratched up prior to being installed. I don't think it looks the same as when it gets done naturally (looks too modern). My only other gripe about cleaning is that if you want to shiny polished look you have to take a dry towel after getting it cleaned/wet and quickly wipe it down in big circular motions with the dry towel before it dries from just the air (or even after it's dried will work, cause there's usually a hint of residual powder if you use Bar Keeper's Friend like I do, and wiping it with a dry towel takes that away). For one long typical countertop e.g. 12' (as opposed to a whole room) it takes me about 10 seconds if I'm being pickier and half that if just a quick wipe down. A lot of the time I don't bother at all but when I'm having company and showing off, I'll give it a quick buff to make it more reflective under the pretty under-cab lights. A lot of other countertop surfaces don't require this so if this is something a home-owner would hate to do, it's probably not worth getting stainless unless they never really care if it doesn't have that ultra buffed, extra shiny look. Ok there you have it! It's all in one place now, everything I've ever wanted to say and answer (when there have been inquiries) about having a stainless countertop - particularly in an older home. Not easy to pull off if you care about things not feeling too cold or modern but possible with a little creativity! And even then, it's definitely not the look for everyone! Thanks for reading! :) Those of you who also have stainless countertops, please feel free to share your experiences! p.s. For those of you wondering, I never did get my kitchen painted aside from the lower cabs but plan on starting in the next few weeks, hopefully! That's the only thing left that never got done except for refinishing the wood floors which I'm not worrying about anytime soon. |

seriously theresse... all that (and I dont' have stainless counters) and no pics? I want to see pics of your space with your counters... please? |
Haha sorry - I was just looking to see if I could find updated pics which I meant to include (though note I did include links to the kitchen that inspired me!!) and there are a few but they're not much different from other old pics of mine scattered throughout the forum...however at least there's the addition of a small drip rail and new pull-out breadboard! ;) Also the mistakes the past contractor had made are corrected but no one's going to notice them in the pics I doubt. Ok here's one - hope it works (has been a while since I did this!): |
What's funny about that pic is that it looks like I have an apricot ceiling which I don't (it's the same avocado beige type color as I have on the walls, pre-painting of course) but it dawned on me that that would be kinda cool - having instead of a white ceiling or even a light-light blue ceiling like many do these days - to have a rich apricot color on the ceiling an no where else! Is that too weird a thought?! Oops - went off-topic there! ;) |
Another (wish I'd shot these during the day so people could see how nice stainless can look in the light): I'm standing on the little kitchen stairs in the corner of the room which leads through a door to the mini-landing of the main stairs...that's why it's such an odd angle! |
Here's an old one shot during the day though it's before a lot of other stuff got done. Clearly I need my floors sanded!! |
- Posted by remodelfla (My Page) on Sat, Dec 31, 11 at 21:15
I love the color of your lower cabs...in fact I really really love your kitchen. It looks like a great place to work in! And yes, your stainless counters do look luxorious. Almost glasslike. |
Remodelfla - you're so sweet but the kitchen is actually dreadful to work in cause that's the only countertop, the stove stands alone with no landing space on either side (door on one side, kitchen stairs leading to the main stairs on the other) and the island's really tiny (24x24") AND the room is small and dark!! 12' x 11' I think is what it is. I also have 3 little boys underfoot so man do I envy those w/ some real space! However it's an improvement aesthetically for sure compared to how that strip looked before. Yikes - I won't even show you (you'll have to dig if you get curious enough)! Heehee. The color's BM's Fieldstone Gray and I'm contemplating putting it everywhere except walls/ceiling though it'll darken the place even more. But sometimes you have to just go with it (if it's a dark kitchen, go dark instead of pretending it's something it isn't, you know?)! When we win the lottery, we'll knock down the wall between the mudroom w/ half-bath and the kitchen, expanding the room and leading to the back yard. Meanwhile, we'll just continue pretending we're rabbits in our little rabbit hole! ;) |
Wow, what a lot of helpful information! The old zinc look you mention -- would that be like the countertops I've heard referred to as German hammered silver? So do I have this right? I remember old silver-looking counters that had like ripples or dimples from being dented. It looked good because they weren't crushed dents with edges, like a smashed bumper, but more like dimples or scoops, like you would get if you sanded a ding out of soapstone. But you say I should get a really hard surface under the steel? |
- Posted by daisychain01 (My Page) on Sun, Jan 1, 12 at 0:17
Small, dark, no counter space, tiny island - who cares?! It is absolutely gorgeous. I remember when you first started this project and I was so excited to see how it would turn out (we also own a "character" home). Glad I saw this thread with the final results. I wouldn't change a thing (well, I'd give you 100 more square feet and long counters and maybe paint the ceiling apricot :-) Great job. |
- Posted by EngineerChic (My Page) on Sun, Jan 1, 12 at 0:47
Wow - I would trade my 3' x 8' island for your ceiling height & cabinets in a heartbeat. We just need to find some reality show to fund moving the houses from one coast to the other ;) Seriously, that is beautiful and I expected it to look colder & less inviting than it does. I love those counters. They are gorgeous, you did a great job getting all the details right! |
I recently looked at a circa-1950 house with the original kitchen intact with its stainless-steel countertops (including integral sink) and metal cabinets. I wouldn't change a thing. Despite being 60 years old, nothing looked dated. It didn't even look retro. In both style and condition, it looked like it could be new, except that hardly anyone builds cabinets that solidly anymore. |
It seems like it will be a challenge for me to find a fabricator with an old, worn belt. So I am considering an antiqued finish, as in the link below. Can you (or anybody else who is willing to share) give me your thoughts on it? Also, can you tell me about scratching? Thanks so much in advance. |
Here is a link that might be useful: antique matte finish on stainless
Really lovely. REALLY. Wow. I'm clipping this post to show DH - we've hit an impasse on countertop material and SS has always been on my shortlist. "Too shiny, too modern" sez he. Well, now I have photographic evidence to the contrary! |
theresse, your kitchen has always been one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing it again! |
- Posted by northcarolina (My Page) on Wed, Jan 25, 12 at 20:20
Theresse, how did you find your fabricator? Was it through a kitchen design service? I've called a few local sheet metal fabricators to see how much it would cost, and all of them but one acted like I was nuts (lol). The one who didn't think it was crazy said he couldn't weld in a sink or do the proper edging for a curved (not rectangular) undermount sink, so it would have to be topmount. Which could be fine, but when I emailed him measurements I never heard back. Your countertops are beautiful -- |
OP, your countertop looks fabulous and quite appropriate to the rest of the kitchen. Congratulations on a job well done. |
I have to admit I've been inspired by this thread for a few months now, and it pushed me into ss countertops in my 1920's galley kitchen. I just got a quote back from the vendor, however, and it works out to around 120/sq foot! Is that insane?!? Wondering if anyone else can provide evidence for or against that cost. That's the same quote I got on calacutta gold marble! I feel a little like I'm at square one all over again... |
I realize this is an old thread, but if the OP looks in could you tell me why you chose NOT to go with zinc even though it was your inspiration? That's what I want but I haven't found out the negatives. |
I'm so glad this thread was brought back up again. I missed it the first time around and the 2nd time around because I was really sick (yes, twice in less than 2 months. Actually, I've been sick 3 times in 4 months. It's been a bad winter, health-wise). Theresse, thanks so much for all the info, especially about the finish, gauge and cleaning. I love zinc counters, too, but have been deterred because it's a softer metal and more prone to dings and could possibly suffer damage from very hot pot (there you go, alex9179. You can find more with a google search for "zinc counters cons"). It's also more expensive. Love, love, love that home and kitchen you linked to. Weren't they a GWer? I know I've seen that kitchen before but I can't remember if someone else referenced it or if the owner used to hang out here. Anyhoo, I turned those urls into links to make it easier for others to see what inspired you. |
I just really really really like that kitchen. |
Theresse -- What a great kitchen! LOVE those countertops :-) I haven't seen if you're all finished, but it looks fantastic so far from these pics... Also, thanks for sharing all the wonderful info on ss counters. |

Alex, re. zinc: from what I learned while researching the various metals for countertops, zinc has the tendency to patinate very quickly and, because it's a micro-thin layer on top of steel, it can wear through fairly quickly and then rust (which is different from patination and Not Good in a kitchen context). However, there are coatings you can use to protect the zinc after it's aged to your satisfaction. Have you looked at the videos and information on zinc counters at www.rotometals.com? They've got a lot of good details & insights. Zinc is more industrial looking than stainless or pewter: |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Mon, Mar 19, 12 at 10:26
Mmmm, I love monel. It was also called "German silver" if I recall correctly? (Or is that a different alloy?) My favorite German silver sink is the one with the classic slink in it: |
Oh, circus, that is cool! Forget function -- that form is worth it! According to "the source of all knowledge" (Wikipedia ;-), German silver is typically 60% copper, 20% nickel, 20% zinc. Monel is something like 2/3 nickel, 1/3 copper, plus traces of iron. |
- Posted by jenny_from_the_block (My Page) on Sun, Apr 22, 12 at 10:27
theresse (or anyone else) would you mind telling me the brand / model of your sink fixture? I am looking for that exact kind, wall-mounted, with lever handles and a pulldown sprayer! |

We are supposed to be tiling next week in our new home. I have looked high and low for a porcelain tile to go in the kitchen, dining, laundry, mudroom, and powder bath (all one tile as all the rooms connect). Am trying to match the granite which is Juparana Ipanema (Sukuri) so I went to the designer today and she led me to a builder grade porcelain tile that looks really good but the finish is very, very matt. The tile feels very "dry" when you run your hand over it--like it doesn't have a finish on it. I'm afraid that it might stain. Cost was under 2.50/ft for 18 inch tiles. Anybody know about the quality of this kind of tile? The name was Comet Cliff Tail (made by Cometstone) and was sold by a tile company that imports there own tile (they do have a good reputation in town). Anyone have any thoughts or experience with builder grade tile? I am somewhat on a budget but am willing to spend more if I should. Thanks |

You can trust me when I tell you-- that's one of the reasons porcelain is so popular now. You get the texture of a nonslip tile, but it won't stain like one. I've said it many times in these forums-- I never met a porcelain I didn't like. :-) Oh-- and if you don't trust me, get a sample piece, and try it for yourself. Give it your worst. I'll bet it cleans right up. :-) |

We bought our porcelain tile from Lowes & installed it (in the kitchen) about 7 months ago. It is easy to clean and like bill_vincent said, it's got a nice non slip texture that does not stain. Ours has a dry and matte finish just like you described above. |

Hossian Miya (Utpal Dutta),Bengali Muslim, a trader who offers to take this community to with an idealistic vision: he wants to establish a little utopia on an island (Moynadeep) in the Padma delta . and offer them a better life there. It is apparent that Hossian Miya has a flourishing business there, because he has recently purchased a huge boat because of expanding business.He doesn't care if the people who populate it are Hindu or Muslim. It is 1947, just before the partition of India, and the Hindu fisherman Kuber briefly accepts an offer by Hossain to ferry some of the community's cargo from the island. He would be fishing, except that all the fish he usually catches have been driven away by a big storm. In the process of getting the cargo, he gets to see what the colony is like and, even though he is fully aware of the gripes of a former colony member and the limitations of it, comes to share some of the utopian vision. When he returns to his home and a variety of unfortunate events make it in his best interest to leave, he knows just where to go.

See actuals vs. budgets... as it happens.
AboutTime's on-demand productivity shows current and accurate project progress, performance and productivity as it is captured in the field every day. When employees clock IN and OUT accurate man hours, units and productivity data is virtually automatic and the results stream into the office with AboutTime's Auto-Send feature. Mobile workers can easily capture Job photos, field notes, budgets vs. actuals with mobile devices on the go.

Office staff and field supervisors know exactly where their projects are at all times.
Knowing sooner minimizes risk and helps make critical decisions before cost over-runs occur.
Instant visibility is virtually automatic with AboutTime.
You can simply set up budgeted (estimated) man hours and units per cost code and per project in the ControlCenter, then the system does the rest. As employees in the field clock IN and OUT, accrued man hours and units are automatically calculated against budgets and can be shared to dashboards and reports amongst your team.
Complete synergy between field and office staff.
Not only can budgets be monitored in real-time from the ControlCenter in your office, AboutTime sends job progress summaries back out to the mobile devices in the supervisors hands in the field. This up to date, current information is incredibly powerful for supervisors, project managers and controllers. Your team will have up to date, accurate numbers... opposed to waiting days (or weeks) for traditional field data to be collected, then transferred to your office, then manually keyed into your ERP, job costing or accounting solution.

Field data streams into your office in REAL-TIME! Project managers see what is really happening in the field as its happening. With this information you can expose trends quicker and make decisions with current and accurate data.
Companies using spreadsheets or pencil and paper to track field operations don't usually know they are losing money until the job has progressed too far, with AboutTime you can instantly manage labor costs, % complete, and job progress.
If you are tracking labor and projects with paper, the data is delayed at least a week (minimum), then in most cases project managers have to wait for office admin to manually enter data into accounting BEFORE project managers can get to reports. With AboutTime the information is neatly organized in the ControlCenter, available to your managers and supervisors immediately.

text: you asked... How Can I Increase My Low Milk Supply? My breast milk supply is low. What can I do about it? Want to participate? Log in to share your thoughts Re: My breast milk supply is low. What can I do about it? First, consider why you feel the need to increase your milk supply. Lots of moms think they have a low milk supply, when their milk supply is just fine. If you are exclusively breastfeeding and baby's weight gain is on target, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your milk supply. This holds true even if baby is fussy, suddenly gets hungry often, will take a bottle immediately after breastfeeding, or if your breasts are soft, and even if you aren't able to pump any milk. If baby is gaining weight, you DO have enough milk. To maintain a healthy milk supply, most moms don't need to do anything (besides feed baby when she's hungry).If you do have a low milk supply, you'll need to figure out why. Work with an internationally certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) to help get to the root of your particular supply issue. If your supply is dropping, it may mean that baby isn't effectively removing the milk from your breasts. You may need to help baby achieve a deeper latch, or you may need to wake baby to nurse more frequently. It is very important not to supplement as you try to build your milk supply (unless there is a clear medical reason, like if a newborn has dropped 10 percent of his birth weight). Supplemental bottles signal your body to make less milk. Also, using artificial nipples (aka bottles or pacifiers) can lower your milk supply since baby can learn improper sucking techniques. Pacifiers can also lower supply by taking away baby's cues to feed.Once you have identified the problem and know how to solve it (or if you are trying to boost your supply for another reason, like to increase your pumping output at work or to feed an adopted baby), there are three main ways to increase your milk supply:Frequent feedingsFrequent breastfeeding is the number one way to establish and/or grow your supply of breast milk. As a general rule, the more baby nurses, the more milk your body will produce. Nursing baby every two hours (or less) for a couple of days can be very effective in giving your supply a boost. Frequent nursing is especially important in the first days and weeks of breastfeeding as you work to establish a healthy supply of breast milk.Breast pumpsIf frequent nursing isn't boosting your supply enough, consider emptying your breasts with a high-quality double-electric pump. Breastfeeding is a supply-and-demand affair: Your body makes milk according to the amount removed from your breasts. Try pumping between feedings or pumping one breast while baby nurses on the other. Continue to pump for five or so minutes after the milk stops coming. The added stimulation will signal your body to produce more milk.GalactagoguesGalactagogues are substances that increase milk supply. Fenugreek, blessed thistle, and alfalfa are herbal galactagogues sometimes used to increase supply, and sometimes prescription medicines are used, like Metoclopramide (Reglan), Domperidone (Motilium), and sulpiride (Eglonyl, Dolmatil, Sulpitil, Sulparex, Equemote). The drug Domperidone isn't widely available in the United States, but it is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics for use in breastfeeding mothers. (The primary use of the drug is to treat nausea and vomiting caused by other drugs; a boost in milk production is a side effect.) You may be able to order Domperidone online from Canada or other countries. Talk to a doctor and/or board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) before using any galactagogue.Rest and stress reduction may make it easier for you to make milk too. And avoid pacifiers and bottles, and give baby only breast milk. (If you have been supplementing with formula, gradually give less and less. This should help baby suckle on your breasts more, leading to increased milk supply.) watch: more on increasing milk supply Erin van Vuuren Q&A: How do I remedy my low milk supply?

My husband and I were very happy with the service we received from Kevin and Beef. They were aware of the issue and encouraged us to trust them and thankfully we did. It cost more than we planned but... after seeing what had not been done by a prior company which caused more problems, we believed Kevin and proceeded with the job. They were easy to talk to and I could tell they knew what they were doing. You have very good employees working for you. We appreciate the job they did.

I had a toilet clogged up and I call them looking at their special price for $79, well that was good for days only and it would cost around 400 in evening which was a bit much but ok, So I scheduled the appointment for morning. A plumber showed up in morning and did camera inspection. There is toy(or something else as he was not sure) stuck and he quoted $1549 as he has to dig the yard which I don't know why? I said no and he charged me $40 which was not we agreed to. The original price was $79 or no charges if job is not done. While he was leaving, he dropped the price to $1200 if we pay in cash.... NOT HAPPY AT ALL.
Dear Customer, On Kudzu we have no way of knowing who you are. We would like to look into this further if you could please call our office and ask for Amanda. The technician is correct we do only offer the $79.00 special Monday - Friday 8-5 and it has to be an accessible line (all exclusions are stated on our website) We have a regular $39.00 service call if we come out and find a leak and do nothing to repair it. We apologize if this was not explained correctly to you. Again though we would really like the opportunity to go over your invoice and speak to the technician that you dealt with. Please call our office and let us look into this.

They were easy to talk to and I could tell they knew what they were doing. You have very good employees working for you. We appreciate the job they did.
it was time for a Septic Tank cleaning so I called several companies and decided to use Delta. Kevin and Wesley showed up and completed the work in a timely manner. I was mostly satisfied with all they did and would would use Delta again. Both Kevin and Wesley were very polite and professional.
Jerry was on time, very nice and knowledgeable. him and his helper David did awesome work. I will definitely call back for my future plumbing needs.
I explain to the technician do not make any repairs until he provided a quote, he came upstairs "stated your husband signed the contract" I said it cheaper to buy a new to toilet he said no to rebuild was cheaper , it would be guarantee for 6 months, my husband has alzheimer disease , Two Strokes, Open heart surgery. Jerry came downstairs gave me the contract I was shock, i told him not to touch the bathroom downstairs, he responded "your husband sign so I have to fix it.I wrote him a check for $483.00 instead of having a 6 months guarantee it was 30days i knew i had to do something so i went and purchase a new toilet, the next day i received a revised guarantee for 1 year instead of 30 days, the technician had been consulting with me , but once i expressed apprehension he coerced my husband to sign. Although I was communicative and expressed my wishes initially, i felt helpless.He Capitalize on our misfortunes and took advantage of a bad situation. I do not have anything good to say about Delta plumbing.
We recently searched for a great deal on new hot water heater and installation. We came across $599 special with your company and called. Person we spoke to indicated that there would be addl minimum charges depending on type of water heater we had. What we did not expect was the additional charge equaled the special price that was quoted. There was no mention that the additional charge on a conventional hot water installation would be more than the special advertised price.Since we were in need of a hot water heater, likelihood of us sending you away to get another estimate would have cost more delays. You can be sure that we have learned our lesson with this experience and will never call you again for our plumbing need. Consumers beware... Great deal is not all its cracked up to be with this company.
Dear debtfree11, Unfortunately we have no way of knowing who you are on Kudzo or we would try to contact you by phone to go over your invoice with you. We do care very much about our customers and our customer satisfaction. We would have liked the opportunity to talk to you and handled this in our office. We want to make sure our customers are happy. We do try to be very clear over the phone when people call in about our specials that there are some exclusions and somethings the Specials do not cover. One of the things not covered for water heaters are code upgrades. If a code upgrade has to be made this is an additional fee. We have no way of knowing if you will need a code upgrade until the Tech gets there. Again though we try to be very clear about this over the phone when someone calls and it is standard for our receptionist to let people know that the specials do not include any code upgrades that may have to be made for installation. Our Techs also give all prices upfront to give the customer the opportunity to call someone else if you think our price is too high. While it may be an inconvenience to call another company out you do have the choice to do that since we do offer upfront pricing. In addition all of our specials are listed online on our website and show all of the exceptions and exclusions that the special does not cover. We are a family owned and operated business that has been in business for over 40 years because we care about our customers and offer such good service. We are not and have no reason to bait and switch anyone, we have specials just like any other company, but the specials only apply to certain things. Again we care about our customers and we are still happy to review your invoice with you if you would like to give us a call at the office, 770-474-5555. Please ask for Amanda Ori, she is the office manager.
Thanks to Jimmy Jones, Kevin, Wesley & Beefy for a job well done fixin our septic system. Thorough, knowledgeable, educating, considerate, hard working, thanks Catfish. Have and will recommend in the future.
Jerry was polite and understanding after confusion about our service call. Jerry calmly explained the work being done and offered his advice/suggestion regarding replacement of our kitchen faucet. We will be doing business with Delta Plumbing in the future. Judy T.
It is with great pleasure I write this review. Kevin and Wesley were good workers,being courteous, punctual, very informative and Kevin was funny. I felt no pressure by the information given and what was needed. My husband was very pleased with the small footprint left. Thanks guys!
� The plumbers attentively listened to my description of the scary "back-up" problem. Then they checked the water level through a port at a point just before the pipes lead to the drain field to determine whether or not running the maximum possible water through the drains inside the house would affect this level. When they saw that the level was not changed by all the extra water they dug down to the septic tank itself and opened one end. At this point they discovered that a large amount of solidified grease was partially blocking the inlet pipe. This pipe was flushed and an enzyme solution was poured into the system. � I asked about pumping the tank and was told that it would be a waste of money at this time because the tank's environment was healthy, that the only problem was the grease. They itemized steps I could take to minimize grease entering the system through the drains. � They left a 4-month supply of enzyme solution. My understanding is that the purpose of the solution wasn't to improve the septic tank's operation but to help clean up potential problems with the p-traps in the house drains. � I really appreciated the honesty, and the education about septic tank operation.
We called for their deal on clogs and specifically asked if there were any additional charges over the advertised price. We were told no. They got there and did the work and told us there was an additional fuel charge. Stupid on their part because we had other work coming, but being dishonest about it kills the deal for me
Thank you for for your feedback alex0603. It is a standard in our industry to have a fuel/milage charge. We apologize that the fuel charge was not mentioned to you up front it was not meant to deceive you, as it is standard practice to have these charges and most service companies do have these charges. If you would like to contact our office we would be happy to issue you a refund for the fuel charge. Please ask for Jacob at 770-474-5555.
Rocky came out and accessed a leak that we were having from a water main pipe, which was leaking from our driveway. He suggested a few ideas for the new pipe to be installed and came up with a great solution where we didn't have to have any dry wall cut into to save on cost and repairs. The price was a lot more reasonable than other companies that we called and the work was done to satisfactory standards. They also planted new grass to help our yard get back to normal from where the new line had to be installed. Definitely would as for Rocky when calling them, he was great and very professional.
I had some major plumbing issues and called Delta plumbing arrived in less than an hour. Jimmy Jones Catfish and his River crew and Shane were fantastic. They took care of all my plumbing woes. They were friendly, professional and really know their plumbing. Jimmy and his crew even kept me well informed and took time to answer my questions. They were prompt and cleaned up after the jobs. For the first time in years I do not worry about my pipes or my Septic system. I highly recommend Delta Plumbing they do the work and they do it right. Thank you so much Michelle
Delta's $188 special to pump out a septic tank is a lie. Before they ever turned 1 shovel of dirt they said the the price would be $623. Call someone else. Furthermore, they were 1 1/2 hour late.
Dear grogers265, Delta Plumbing takes its customer service very seriously. We like for our customers to feel satisfied and educated we when leave your home and we apologize that you did not have this experience. We do strive to be as timely as possible, and try to give 2 hour windows of time to allow our technicians some wiggle room, however there are some circumstances as with any service industry business that will hold us up from time to time, but we sincerely apologize for being late and we do try to call all of customers if we are behind schedule and let them know. As for the fee's I would like the opportunity to review your invoice or quote to make sure the charges are accurate. We have flat rate pricing and try to be as upfront as possible on the phone. The $188 is for a standard maintenance pump, if there are any other problems there could be additional fees and we try to be clear about this over the phone. Again if you would allow us to review the invoice or quote we would be happy to. Please contact, Amanda Ori, office mange, 770-474-5555 at your convenience.

Not that cashing in was on anyone's mind back then -- not with so much injustice in the world in need of exposing. The Lange-led Daily didn't shy away from diving into national and international stories, some of them only tangentially connected to Boulder. Lange and writer S.K. Levin wrote frequently about U.S. policy in Nicaragua and even traveled to that country to do ground-level reporting; their main local hook involved Boulder's establishment of a sister-city relationship with the Nicaraguan community of Jalapa. The pair also investigated what became the Strategic Defense Initiative (aka Star Wars), coming out with an in-depth multi-part series a month before President Ronald Reagan unveiled the program in a 1983 speech.
But Lange also found ways to take area news nationwide, as he did when he unveiled the inner workings of a Federal Emergency Management Administration civil-defense plan intended for use in the event of a nuclear strike in Boulder and many other American cities. A meeting to explain the previously secret program drew around 1,200 dumbfounded Coloradans and the folks from 60 Minutes, and led to the dropping of the entire idea everywhere. Articles like these induced Nation scribe Alexander Cockburn to declare the Daily the best leftist newspaper in the country.
Despite the soberness of these topics, however, the Daily was neither bland nor laugh-free. It developed an innovative entertainment section overseen by Jennifer Heath, who has gone on to become an author of books on a slew of subjects, and dabbled in often-self-deprecating humor courtesy of Todd Moore, who was also largely responsible for its grabby look. Moore, who's described with great affection by former colleague J. Gluckstern (now a CU film instructor and contributor to the Daily Camera) as a "fuck-you anarchist," wrote under the name Tao Jones and manned the regular feature "Tommy Tofu's Field Guide to Boulder," in which he described creatures such as "Liberal Man (Homo Pinko)": "Listen for the roar of Homo Pinko as he gathers in large herds to affect events thousands of miles away -- 'SMASH THE STATE...please.'" And that's not to mention his "Apocalypse Poll," in which readers were given the chance to predict whether the world would end in a "bang," a "whimper," or "other (please specify)."
Moore's adventures are notorious. On one occasion, he and a photographer decided they wanted to take a photo of Rocky Flats and drove onto the facility's grounds to get one without asking permission; they wound up spread-eagled on the ground surrounded by armed men in black commando outfits. On another, he penned an editorial, later published as a letter, about a suspicious fire at a fraternity house that convinced Boulder authorities and frat boys alike that the letter's mysterious author, identified as "T. Moore," was a female arsonist. "I remember standing at a cash machine and these two guys behind me were talking about what they were going to do when they got ahold of this bull dyke T. Moore," he says.
But his most infamous accomplishment was 1984's anti-Reagan issue. There's some disagreement over who sparked this notion: Moore says the idea came from singer Gil Scott-Heron, while Marty Durlin, Moore's former spouse and a onetime Daily staffer (she's presently station manager at Boulder public radio station KGNU), believes the responsible party was poet Amiri Baraka. (Both Scott-Heron and Baraka contributed to the issue.) Moreover, support for an all-editorial edition in advance of the 1984 election, in which Reagan's main competitor was Democratic candidate Walter Mondale, wasn't universal, with some employees fearing the concept would damage the Daily's future credibility. But the stone-throwers eventually won out, and on November 5, 1984, the Daily unleashed "Ronald Reagan: A Commentary."
Viewed from a distance of seventeen years, some of the anti-Reagan issue's content seems a bit curious. S.K. Levin's somber piece about Reagan's military buildup ages well, as does Durlin's personal commentary about the dearth of worthy candidates, but they're juxtaposed with wackiness like Nan De Grove's "What's in the Stars for Reagan, Mondale?," an attempt to analyze the election via astrology. ("Mondale's Sagittarius planets all fall near the ascendant in the United States chart, which indicate he could help the country recover some of its lost idealism...") But what hasn't dated are the incendiary graphics: a smiling Reagan dressed as Darth Vader, a poster of two elephants mating labeled "The Making of a Republican," and a doctored photo showing a football placekicker about to boot Reagan's head. This last image prompted a memorable moment for Moore: "These guys threatened to beat the hell out of me because it was their friend's leg kicking it."
That was hardly the only negative reaction. Numerous Daily sources swear that ad revenue plummeted 40 percent after the issue, but Lange, who by then had added publisher duties to his editorial responsibilities, says that's not so: Only a few advertisers bailed. Yet university conservatives voiced their disapproval in larger numbers. Pam White, who started contributing to the Daily in 1984 and holds the distinction of having written a pro-choice article for the Reagan edition that was withheld because it was "too extreme even for us," tells the tale. "I was sitting at my desk when a bunch of campus Republicans barged in with armloads of the paper that they'd picked up from all over town -- and they threw them on the floor and called us 'fucking communists' and spewed profanity and otherwise demonstrated their commitment to the First Amendment. I always thought that was funny."

Game 64 Preview: Your New Jersey Devils at Washington Capitals
Washington Capitals (32-26-5, 69 points) vs. New Jersey Devils (35-23-5, 75 points)
TV: MSG Plus, Radio: WFAN 660 AM
This will be the final meeting of the regular season between the Washington Capitals and New Jersey Devils. The Devils lost the first part of a home-and-home series, 3-1, despite Adam Larsson's first career NHL goal, then rallied from a two-goal deficit in D.C., winning in a shootout. The Devils blew a 3-0 lead in the most recent meeting, but won 4-3 in a shootout in that game. The Caps are 5-0-4 in their last 9 games against the Devils in Washington D.C.
The Caps are suddenly hot, as they've won three straight games, in what has been a disappointing season. On the flip side, the Devils have cooled off dramatically. They're 0-3-1 since winning 9 of 11 games out of the All-Star break.
Swept in Beantown:
The Devils wanted last night to be a statement win against a team that has had their number all season. The Bruins handled the Devils with ease through the first three meetings of the season, and ten minutes into last night's game, it looked as if Boston might cruise past the Devils again. Luckily, that didn't happen. The Devils put together a huge second period, where they out-scored Boston, 3-0, but even that wasn't enough to knock off the defending champions. The Devils blew another third period lead, and the Bruins won it in overtime on David Krejci's hat trick goal. It was an up and down night for the Devils in Boston. They got off to a horrendous start against the Bruins, but showed a lot of toughness by coming back and taking a lead in the game. Still, they're searching to put together 60 minute efforts consistently this season, as it has not happened to this point in the season.
The Devils also felt that the Bruins got away with a hand pass in overtime. Zdeno Chara caught the puck in front of the net, and apparently threw it over to a teammate before Krejci ended up winning it for Boston. The official ruling is that Chara's stick touched it after the apparent hand-pass. The play was not reviewed, and obviously, the goal counted.
It's been a frustrating few weeks now for Ilya Kovalchuk. On the one hand, he's registered 5 assists over his last 7 games. On the other hand, he hasn't scored a goal since his hat trick in Buffalo, and is now 0-for-his-last-29 shots on goal. He's also missed the net on countless scoring chances. Even so, his assist on Zach Parise's goal last night gave him 61 points on the season, which eclipses last season's total of 60. Adam Henrique continues to struggle in the point-production department, as he has not put up a point since his two assists in Toronto on February 21st. Henrique has only taken 9 shots on goal over his last 9 games. Patrik Elias, meanwhile, also scored last night. It was the first time Elias had a single shot on goal after going four games without a shot. It was Elias' 20th goal of the season. David Clarkson scored the Devils' third goal, following a game in which he picked up 19 penalty minutes.
The Devils are also a bit lucky today, as Alexei Ponikarovsky and David Clarkson escaped injuries. Ponikarovsky's knee was banged up after his big hit on Andrew Ference. Clarkson looked as if his leg was injured after being struck by a teammate's shot. Both of them returned to the game and are expected to dress tonight in Washington. On the other hand, Petr Sykora didn't play late in the game last night. There is no word on whether he is injured or not.
Johan Hedberg will get the start in goal for the Devils tonight, as they look to snap a four-game losing streak. Brodeur started three games in four days during last weekend, as well as 9 games in a row overall. Hedberg's last start came on February 9th, when the Devils fell to the St. Louis Blues, 4-3 in a shootout. His last win was on February 4th, when the Devils barely hang on to win in Philadelphia, despite a 6-0 lead after two periods. Hedberg has 13 wins this season after getting many of the starts early in the season. Overall, his goals against average is 2.53 and a save percentage of .908, which aren't as good as last season's numbers, but are actually statistically better than Martin Brodeur's numbers.
Latest from 'Capital' Hill:
It's been a frustrating season for the Caps. For a team that had won their division four years in a row and had been the top seed in the East in each of the past two seasons, this season has been a huge disappointment so far. The Caps enter tonight's game as the 9th place team in the Eastern Conference. They're a very average team in goals for (14th) and goals against (16th), however they have won three straight games and haven't lost in regulation to the Devils at home since February 25th, 2007 (they're 5-0-4 since, as previously mentioned). The Caps won their last game in dramatic fashion, though, as they overcame a 2-goal deficit with under four minutes remaining in regulation, before Oveckin's overtime goal to beat the Islanders.
Here's the real shocker with the Caps this season: they have one 20-goal scorer and nobody over 50 points. Although they've been hit hard with the injury bug, especially stars like Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green's long-term injuries, they simply aren't the dynamic and explosive offensive power house that they were last season. Alex Ovechkin has been called out many times this season, and he's been limited to just 26 goals and 49 points this season, not to mention a suspension as well. Alexander Semin has managed just 17 goals this season and veteran winger Mike Knuble has struggled miserably this season. His minus-16 rating is the worst on the team and he's even been a healthy scratch recently.
The Caps are 20-17-4 under their new coach, Dale Hunter, and always play the Devils tough. Washington is desperate to get back into the top-8 and a playoff spot, just as the Devils are desperate to avoid a five-game losing streak and jeopardize their playoff spot.
Devils' projected lineup:
Parise – Henrique – Kovalchuk
Sykora – Elias – Zubrus
Ponikarovsky – Josefson – Clarkson
Boulton – Carter – Bernier
Greene – Fayne
Salvador – Larsson
Volchenkov – Zidlicky
Capitals' projected lineup:
Ovechkin – Johansson – Aucoin
Chimera – Perreault – Semin
Hendricks – Laich – Brouwer
Beagle – Halpern – Ward
Alzner – Carlson
Schultz – Green
Orlov – Wideman

Department of Ecology Release
OLYMPIA – Today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed Washington state's authority over mixed hazardous and radioactive transuranic waste buried at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. Transuranic waste refers to artificially made radioactive materials with atomic numbers higher than uranium in the Periodic Table of Elements. The federal appeals court ruling affirms the state's regulatory order, issued in 2003, requiring the U.S. Department of Energy to remove and process the equivalent of approximately 75,000 drums (55 gallons each) at Hanford. The waste has been stored in unlined trenches since the 1970s. Washington Department of Ecology director Jay Manning said, "The federal court has upheld the state's authority to protect its people and its resources from the extremely dangerous wastes that were buried decades ago at Hanford." He added, "The court rejected the Energy Department's effort to exempt itself from hazardous waste management laws passed by Congress and the state Legislature." Attorney General Rob McKenna said, "We are very pleased that this ruling confirms the enforceability of an important element of the Hanford cleanup schedule. We appreciate the support of Idaho and Tennessee, who submitted a 'friend of the court' brief on this important matter." Ecology's 2003 regulatory ordered required Energy to remove the drums from unlined trenches, examine the contents, and either store the waste under state law or prepare it for disposal at an approved facility in New Mexico. The appellate court agreed with the district court that the Hanford waste isn't exempt from requirements of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the state's Hazardous Waste Management Act. The case is Washington v. Chu, No. 06-35227. ### Media Contact: Janelle Guthrie, Director of Communications, (360) 586-0725 / firstname.lastname@example.com Dave Workman, Department of Ecology, Olympia, WA, pager 360-786-3074 Sharon Braswell, Department of Ecology, Richland, WA, 509-372-7895 / email@example.com

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I like this framework and don't have any problems with your list. I do
has some minor comments with your notes about the events though.
1: September 11---2001
The Post-Cold War world was built around managing the consequences of
the collapse of the Soviet Union. One of the consequences was the end
of the power-lock on the Islamic world in the Cold War. September 11th
was generated from that broad, era-based process. It also redefined the
era by focusing the global hegemons power on the Islamic world, thereby
reshaping global dynamics. Finally, it created an era of terrorism that
reshaped the internal behavior of many nations. (I would argue that 9/11
did not create an era of terrorism. AQ was already active and attacking.
Outside of the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, jihadists actually
killed more people in the years before 9/11 than after. So IMO, 9/11 it
was a symptom of that era, not the creation of it. Also, the impact
affected far more than just internal behavior. We could more accurately
say that 9/11 launched an era of fear and preoccupation with jihadist
terrorism that reshaped the internal and external behaviors of many
nations.) We need to separate pre-9/11 jihadist terrorism from pre-9/11
aQ terrorism (aQ didn't actually start operating until the mid-90s
though there was a proto-aQ that had begun organizing in the early 90s
(1st WTC attack in 93). The stuff in the 70s, 80s, and 90s in Egypt,
Algeria, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Caucuses, etc was different from
what happened when aQ came on the scene (Riyadh, Khobar Marine Barracks,
East Africa embassy, USS Cole, 911) in that the former was the work of
nationalist jihadists while the latter was jihadism going transnational.
It is this latter phenomenon that matters in the sense G is talking
about. Also, the geography of transnational jihadist phenomenon expanded
post-Sept 11 (think Yemen, Somalia, Maghreb, Pakistan, Iraq, etc).
2 China enters WTO-2001
The entry of China into the WTO generated a massive surge in exports
that reshaped a great deal of the global economy, particularly the U.S.
and Europe.
3 Lehman Brothers Collapses-2008
The collapse of Lehman Brothers was the action that was the immediately
responsible for financial crisis event. The financial crisis changed
how Europe works, China's behavior and American politics. It is still
4 Putin's election-2000
While just before this decade, I am including it because it re-shaped
the era. Putin's election represented the reversal of the Yeltsin
period of Russia as failed state and set the stage for Russia's
resurgence. This in turn changed the dynamics of both Europe and to a
lesser extent the Middle East. Putin's ascendance is not something
focused on Putin. It would have happened anyway. But in the real world,
it was his election that represented the shift and can be used to
represent the event.
5 US invades Iraq-2003
The U.S. invasion of Iraq was a highly significant action within the
broader event of the Islamic wars. Its importance is that it sucked all
available U.S. power into Iraq (as opposed to simply the region) and
transformed American relations in Europe. In creating a three way-war
without a clear end, it destroyed an American President and more
important, shaped the behavior of other actors in the world. I think
we're going overboard with the "all available US power" line. Sure, it
sucked up a ton of resources, especially ground troops, but there were
lots of naval and air assets not committed to Iraq, not to mention all
of America's nuclear assets.
6 Russo-Georgian War-2008
Within the event of resurging Russia, the war was an action that
signaled the return of Russia to the rest of the FSU, and helped shape
their responses to Russia. It was made possible by U.S. obsession with
the Islamic world and Iraq.
7 Germany proposes new structure for EU-2010
The suggestion by Germany that countries that do not follow EU rules and
require financial help be denied votes in EU councils and supervision by
Brussels opened the door for a totally redefined EU and with it, a new
8 Iran emerges as major challenger-2004
Following the collapse of the Baghdad regime and the inability of the
U.S. to create a viable government the geopolitical situation of Iran
was transformed for the first time since 1979. Given the weakness of
surrounding regimes in the Persian Gulf, Iran became dramatically more
powerful than before, threatening to create a new reality in the region.
The actions of 2004 seem to me a useful action point to denote the
9 Surge in Energy prices stabilizes regimes-2008
Venezuela, Russia and some Arab regimes faced significant financial
problems prior to 207 and peak prices in August 2008. Many of these
regimes were stabilized politically by the dramatic rise in oil prices.
Should we also include gas in here?
10 Obama Surges Afghanistan-2009
The decision to shift Afghanistan from a holding action to an offensive
operation meant that U.S. military power would be indefinitely
concentrated in the Islamic world regardless of what happened in Iraq
and deepened the crisis of Iranian power.

Subject: top ten picks
Here are my picks for top ten geopolitical events. I've included a
short description of the method I used. I don't expect these to be the
final choices but I do want you to understand the methodology and use
it. Remember, we are interested in things that happened in the last
decade and effected the last decade (even though the effects might
linger). We are not interested in process that began this decade and
will be important in fifty years. I've already done a book on that.
Please argue among yourselves. I'm in Vegas planning to go into a three
day trance playing black jack. I may or may not notice the discussion.
So think of me as if I were Stick killing defenseless animals. Can't be
reached. I will be back in the living on Monday. I will write the
weekly on Sunday night on a plane. Topic suggestions would be welcomed,
particularly anything not in the eastern Europe.
Please play nice and don't fight or I'll rip your hearts out.

Taylor Swift's security team is making quite an impression on her new hometown in Rhode Island!
Not only have they been accused of yelling at people on the public beach that touches Taylor's place or anyone that gets near her house, but now they're beefing with local parade volunteers.
It all went down around the Fourth of July. According to RadarOnline.com, Taylor's security called in and got the kids in a local Independence Day parade in trouble because they supposedly pelted candy at the guards.
"At the Fourth of July parade, some of the guards accused some of the EBA kids of 'pelting' them with candy but they were just passing it out. It was a parade!" a local told RadarOnline.com
"The guards got super pissy and called the supervisors of the whole program to complain about it," the source added.
"The guards are begrudgingly allowing the volunteers to clean up trash from the beach in front of Taylor's property for now," the source says. "It's progress, I suppose!"
As we all know, Taylor WAS at her Rhode Island mansion with pals during the Fourth of July! We're sure she was probably around when this went down!
Read more about this story here.
Are you surprised Taylor's security is causing so much drama in her new town?! Can you even believe her team is beefing with locals over parade candy?!

SUPERVALU: At the Supervalu Northern Region Sales for All Seasons Aug. 13-14 in St. Paul, Minn., a retail display designed by Brooklyn Park, Minn.-based Carlson AirFlo showed off an example of a "Fill it Fresh" promotion Supervalu is high on. In this example, the Eden Prairie, Minn.-based retailer shows how a store can increase fresh produce sales by allowing consumers to fill an entire bag with various produce commodities for a flat $15 price. Also shown is another Carlson AirFlo-designed tool — a Cross Merchandising Cheese Wheel, allowing retailers to easily pair cheese with items like apples and pears.
MARKET FRESH PRODUCE: Hannah Harris, from left, Steve Ford and Katie Wallace are all new in the business development department for Nixa, Mo.-based Market Fresh Produce. The trio was on hand Aug. 13 at the Supervalu Sales for All Seasons conference in St. Paul, Minn., where they dressed in NFL garb to help promote the company's giveaway promotion of tickets to a Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings game.
THE FRESH CONNECTION: Tyler Neu, business manager for The Fresh Connection Inc., Eden Prairie, Minn., holds packages of new Lentil Snaps and Snapea Crisps, which are potato chip alternatives consisting of 60%-70% produce. The crisps, made by Fairfield, Calif.-based Calbee NA LLC and marketed by The Fresh Connection, contain about half the fat of traditional chips and also contain double to triple more fiber and a third to a half less sodium than potato chips. They're an all-North American-source product, Neu says. New flavors launched in April, additions to the Harvest Snaps line, include Onion Thyme Lentil Snaps, Tomato Basil Lentil Snaps, Wasabi Ranch Snapea Crisps and Black Pepper Snapea Crisps.
FRESH EXPRESS: Dan Blumb shows off single-serve salad packs Salinas, Calif.-based Fresh Express plans to launch Aug. 21. In all, there are four new varieties of single-serve packs, Blumb said. Fresh Express is also introducing salad kids and a kale mix.

Week Five – Day 5
TODAY'S FAST – Fast from All Junk Foods, Desserts, Sweets, and Sodas
Today we are focused on the race again. And just like runners in a marathon, we are not running the race alone. First of all, we have the people around us – other Christians. It is interesting that it is impossible to spell Christian with only one "I." We cannot be a Christian by ourselves. Being a Christian is being a part of a body – the Body of Christ, the Church.
Second, we have the members of the Body of Christ that are no longer running alongside of us. These are the Christians who have gone before us and who are no longer in this world. We believe that in Christ we are all connected. And so, even though they do not run next to us, they are still with us in the race, to pray for us.
Last, but most important, we have Jesus Himself. He does not let us run the race alone. Jesus became one of us and lived a human life with all of its ups and downs and twists and turns. He knows what it is like to run this race, and He reached the finish line before us. He runs with us and will get us to the end. Whenever we think that we cannot make it to the end, we need only to turn to Him and He will show us the Way!
Prayer Focus:
Pray for perseverance in your race of faith, that you may finish strong and honor and glorify God in your life.
Key Scripture:
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." –Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

In "Moral Tales," a Tapestry of Faith program
Thinking through your own feelings about and experiences of prayer will help you lead this session. You may wish to ponder the following questions:
After you have had a chance to think about your answers to the above questions, read through the description of the prayer bead exercise. Take some time to think about what your own prayer beads might represent. What is in your heart? What do you yearn for? What is your deepest wish for the Earth? What are you sorry for? What makes your heart sing with gratitude?
Once you have experienced your own thoughts and prayers, put them aside. Prepare to be with children whose experiences of prayer will range from frequent to infrequent, and whose thoughts and beliefs may vary tremendously. Your role as teacher is to meet the children where they are and introduce them respectfully to one of many spiritual tools.
