First sprocket roll!
Did the workshop from London Soho, and found myself using the SR much more than I expected to. Thought it would be a novelty, but I ended up seeing wide-angle photo opportunities everywhere :-)
This photo was shot on film. Taken by paulmckay with a Lomography Sprocket Rocket (available in our Online Shop) loaded with Lomography Color Negative 400 (35mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in London, United Kingdom. These tags describe this photo: boating, lake, park, hyde, angle, wide, holes, and sprocket. Date: 2013-04. This photo can also be found in the album Sprocket Rocket!.

Hey all! Having trouble with this particular situation, and I'm not sure if it's been broached before, as I certainly couldn't seem to find anything on here.
If I'm playing with the Brotherhood without Banners Agenda, and have Beric Dondarrion in play (if there is no power on your House, Beric cannot be killed or discarded from play), and my opponent kneels Aegon's Hill during the challenges phase, can they select a copy of Beric Dondarrion in my hand and add it to my dead pile? And if they can, will that then kill my Beric Dondarrion in play?
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Officers: President Mark Lay, COO Cory Lay, Bill Neave, Client Services Billy Everhardt, Operations Manager Albert Hernandez, Office Manager Lisa Shaffer, Production Manager Robert Mullis, Office Coordinator Lori Austin
Founded: 1980
Headquarters: Indian Trail, N.C.
Markets: Charlotte and surrounding counties and communities
Services: Turf management, plants & tree care, irrigation, floraculture, snow & ice management, aquatic management, landscape lighting, storm cleanups, landscape renovation and design, installations, hardscapes, drainage and lawn care
Employees: 55 peak season
Website: www.aatexlawn.com
Not surprisingly, Mother Nature has forced the company to make some of these changes. After a recent season of record rainfall seriously hampered production, Lay and his partner/brother Cory called in consultants to help them get them back on track. Then they and other landscape company owners in their market battled through two consecutive years of drought. More recently, the 2008-2009 recession and the sputtering, uncertain economy it spawned in its wake have added new challenges.
These days, Lay measures success by personal growth, as well as the bottom line. However, he says he's not encouraging his three children (two daughters and a son) to become entrepreneurs.
Still, Lay has a career he can honestly say he loves. He won't say the same about his other early start in the job market as a mechanic.
"When you're working on people's cars and you get everything buttoned up for them, they always feel like you've cheated them," he observes. "I didn't like that. I had been cutting grass for about 10 years at that point, and people were always glad when you got done. It just seemed to have a spreading emotional high for everybody and I liked that."
Lay began AATex-Lawn Co. in 1980, and he says it "bumped along" with a few employees doing a mix of residential and commercial work in the greater Charlotte, N.C., area over next decade and better.
Its only major change came in 1990, when Cory joined the operation after his discharge from the navy. Today, Cory is vice president and chief operations officer (COO) and supervises operations in the field while his older brother handles administration.
By the end of the 1990s, the Lay brothers were working with PLANET (the Professional Landcare Network) and trying to figure out how to grow their business. Then, in 2002, disaster struck.
"It rained about twice as much as it's supposed to in seven months," says Lay. "We had not lost a customer. We had fulfilled more than our obligation to every job, and we were broke, just totally broke."
Because of their PLANET contacts, they had been exposed to the idea of hiring a financial consultant, and they decided they needed just that sort of help. However, it wasn't easy.
"It was hard for us to ask for help, to realize that maybe we didn't know all the answers," says Lay. "We tell the story that it was so hard on us to ask for help that when we got done with the phone call we had to lie down on the floor because we were exhausted."
Ultimately, the brothers were able to put together a business plan and a budget. They were also told to get out and sell their services. For each of the next three years, the business doubled.
The company still operates off a three-year plan, although Lay says looking that far down the road isn't always easy. And, change has continued to be the order of the day, particularly in 2008 when Wells Fargo acquired the Charlotte-based Wachovia, a huge presence in their Charlotte market. The phones stopped ringing, says Lay.
Today, "We know where we'd like to go in three years, but with gas at almost $4 a gallon, we try to be optimistic, but flexible," he says.
Optimism and flexibility are most evident in how AATex-Lawn is making it through this on-again, off-again economic recovery.
"We have totally focused on what's important here, and I mean totally," Lay says. "The first year, we reorganized and made some cuts and we thought, 'We'll barely make it like this.' But, every year since then we've done some until I think we've got a great business model and operating way more efficiently. Our overhead is way down."
Today, the litmus test is this: is the customer paying for this?
"We used to have a cleaning service that cost $150 a month," he relates. "We had a discussion about who was going to do the cleaning without a cleaning service; it was never going to get done. I laugh about that now because we haven't had the cleaning service for four years, and it's not a big deal."
Services such as design/build were put on a back burner along with other items Lay describes as "our extra work."
However, a lot of the company's slimming diet took place inside the walls of its 12,000-square-foot headquarters.
"We've taken our management roles and made them management/sales, and we've taken administrative roles and made them customer service/administrative roles," Lay explains. "The business model has changed. We used to have a little piece of pie for sales and a big piece for management, but now all our management is sales. The same is true with administration. Through technology we've gotten more customer service people."
The bottom line: "It really brings what's important into view, and that's a good thing."
Lay believes things are starting to look up. If nothing else, he says this past summer saw more people doing more in their yards than in recent years.
"They've been getting trees and shrubs replaced and doing small landscape jobs," he says. "I think people are seeing a little more consumer confidence and they're willing to tackle the patio, the retaining wall, the drainage work or improving the quality of their turf."
However, after pruning his design staff because of the economy, he's also beginning to build that back up again. A recent acquisition brought two more account managers and a landscaper to the company, and Lay feels that expertise will help AATex-Lawn get back to doing the smaller projects that are growing in demand.
It's a position he likes to be in. Acquisitions have added spray service clients and beefed up the company's share of residential business. His company operates over a 50 square mile area and is capable of providing just about any service that clients might want, including landscape lighting and aquatics.
"We started in commercial mowing, but as the business grew we wanted to better serve our customers," he explains. "We didn't want to have people using us for one thing and somebody else for something else."
While Lay would definitely like to see the business grow from its current 55 employees and 20 crews, he says his greatest success may be his own personal growth and what he needs to know to be the person who gets things done for AATex-Lawn.
"I would have taken making a little more money along with it," he says. "But, I feel pretty successful in that part of it. I've learned a lot and I've been able to help my kids with knowledge and perspective."
And, that includes being a little wary of entrepreneurship, mainly because of the time and effort it's taken from his family and his personal relationships. Still, whatever his kids end up doing, his main advice is to have a plan and then persevere.
"You've got to be dedicated to your goal," Lay concludes. "It doesn't matter what you do. Procrastination and self-justification don't have anything to do with success; it's results."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Stretch- Reduced Adoption Fee!
Facts about Stretch- Reduced Adoption Fee
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Stretch- Reduced Adoption Fee's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Stretch (aka Snowball). He is an 8-11 month old American Pit Bull Terrier, or American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He is such a sweetheart! He gets along great with dogs & cats, loves big & little kids, & has never had a home of his own. He was born in foster. This baby is well-mannered, fully-vetted, & ready to go! If you are interested in adoption, please visit rescueabull.org to complete the application. His adoption fee has been reduced to $50 to an approved adopter (standard adoption procedure including approved application & home visit still apply.)
Other Pets at Rescue-A-Bull Pit Bull Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Stretch- Reduced Adoption Fee, a Killen American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Killen, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Killen.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Killen already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Killen breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Killen paves the way for another one to be saved.

Persons with well-controlled or infrequent seizures should have no serious problems dating or developing and maintaining a stable, intimate relationship. For persons with uncontrolled seizures, dating and romantic relationships can be more difficult. Nevertheless, some people with frequent seizures have adjusted well to their condition and are successful in pursuing an active romantic life. All persons with epilepsy sooner or later face some important questions: Do I tell this person that I have epilepsy? When should I tell him or her? How much should I tell?
There is no reason to rush the disclosure of epilepsy. Unless the seizures are so frequent that one might occur on the first date, it is best to wait until the ice is broken and trust and openness have developed in the relationship. These positive developments may happen on the first date or the tenth date, or they may never happen. If the two persons are obviously incompatible, there is no reason to discuss the disorder. If the relationship is developing slowly but is promising, it is reasonable to discuss the epilepsy earlier rather than later. It is best to tell the other person face to face, not over the telephone or by letter.
The way in which the disorder is presented is often how the other person will see it. The person with epilepsy should be honest in telling the truth about the disorder and how he or she has been affected by it. The other person should be allowed to react to what he or she has heard. The person with epilepsy has had time to adjust to the disorder, but the friend needs time to ask questions and to think about it.
Epilepsy should not be made the focus of the conversation. The two people should discuss it and then move on to other subjects. Like everyone else, a person with epilepsy is defined by many traits and attributes; epilepsy should not be allowed to be the defining feature.
Anyone who dates and gets involved in romantic relationships is likely to experience rejection at some time or another. Some prospective partners may say no to the first date or the second date, and others may break up the relationship after an extended period of dating. Rejection is, unfortunately, part of dating and relationships for everyone and is not unique to persons with epilepsy. People are rejected for a variety of physical characteristics, personality traits, social beliefs, and other reasons. Numerous observations and feelings about other people merge in the subconscious parts of our minds, and we end up attracted to some people and not to others. Epilepsy may contribute to the reasons for rejection by some people, but it may be "attractive" to others who have a need to nurture or care for someone. However, a healthy and long-term relationship is more likely to develop when the other person is attracted to the individual's personal qualities and is able to put epilepsy in its rightful place as a medical problem.

Any McGee scoop? I don't feel like he's gotten enough to do on NCIS lately.– Jacinda
"He's going to play a really big part after the holidays," EP Gary Glasberg assures me. "And Delilah's still around. He's got his work cut out for him in some stuff coming up." And speaking of the holidays, you won't want to miss the Dec. 17 outing. It's a nail-biting hour that will find the team trying to crack the case of a strange outbreak occurring within military families. "It's an Abby-centric story. So it's Abby and Carol [Meredith Eaton] and Palmer really focused in the lab to try to focus on what's going on," Glasberg teases. There's also a "really, really loving" story involving Vance, who is celebrating his first Christmas without his wife. Tissues, please!
So I'm in love with Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., especially the relationship between Skye and Agent Ward. Their chemistry is amazing. Are we going to see anything happen between them anytime soon? -Jillian
Well, if you saw Tuesday night's episode, you know there's a chance that Ward may have spent the evening with, ahem, another member of the team, and I'm guessing he and Melinda weren't up all night braiding each other's hair. Regardless of the complications that this possible Mayward hook-up could cause, Chloe Bennet says she's on board for any and all Skyward action. "The chemistry is obviously there, and they're terribly perfect for each other, is what I like to say," she says. "They're so opposite and so similar in the same way. They're both kind of loners and they're both kind of out for themselves, but they both have such big hearts and they both genuinely want the best — they just go about it in different ways. So yes, I definitely ship Skye and Ward!"
Any scoop on Ann's exit from Parks? I'm getting more and more bummed as the weeks go by! — Karen
The episodes that follow will see Leslie dealing with Ann's exit and Ben "realizing how hard it's going to be to be all things" to Leslie, according to Amy Poehler. But don't expect any new blood to come in her place anytime soon. In fact, Poehler scoffed at the idea. "No one will ever replace Ann and even suggesting it is disgusting," she deadpanned.(LOVE HER!) "The relationship between Leslie and Ann is one of the prouder things I feel about the show because I feel, unfortunately, that there's a lack of real female friendships on television that make any sense," she added earnestly. "Leslie and Ann are true friends in a way you can understand, and I'm really proud of that friendship and how it's grown over the years and how it's, frankly, one of the many beating hearts on our show."
Does Castle have a midseason cliffhanger? — Susan
I like to consider Monday night's warning from 3XK a cliffhanger of sorts, but otherwise, there is no midseason cliffhanger. Personally, after the summer we had, I'm thankful for the break!
Do you know if Morgan is going to introduce Garcia to his girlfriend on Criminal Minds? He's got to introduce her to his Baby Girl! — Kellie
"It's way too early to tell," says Shemar Moore. "So much could happen, and Derek is still work first, play second. So we'll just have to wait and see."
Can you tell me anything else about the Ghost Killer on Bones? — Patty
Not sure what you mean by "else," so let's start from the top. As you may have heard, the "Ghost Killer" will kick into high gear in 2014 after the gang finds a link between a bunch of cold cases. In the first episode back in January, we will be "pointed in the direction" of the Ghost Killer, according to EP Stephen Nathan. "[The Ghost Killer] is a very ephemeral presence and sort of an evil that lurks in the shadows, someone whose identity we are not even sure of," he says. He also warns, however, that the establishment of this new killer doesn't mean we're quite done with that other guy. "We also haven't, let's say, felt the end of Pelant," he teases.
Hey Sandra! I heard about a Hodgins-centric episode coming up on Bones. I'm glad because it's been a while. Any scoop on it? — Jenny
"Coming up" — not so much. You'll have to wait until February for it. But it sounds like a goodie. Per Nathan: "Hodgins finds out…some secrets about that family that are going to be quite surprising to him. And it is not going to be grand political secrets or anything like that. It's going to be very, very personal."
I'm digging the Tomorrow People, but hoping they let Cara and John stick together. I like them together better than Cara and Stephen. Any idea where they're headed? — Ryleigh
Well, according to Robbie Amell, Wednesday night's episode is going to shine a light more on the relationship that Stephen shares with Astrid more than anything between his character and Cara. "You find out a lot about their relationship and how they feel toward each other in episode 7," he teases. "Talking about it, a lot of stuff happens in episode 7." That said, he says he can't deny that "there is something deeper than either of them know. There's some sort of bond between the two of them that neither of them can explain, so there's definitely a relationship there," he says. "But at the same time, Cara is with John, no matter how many problems they have in their relationship."
I missed The Blacklist this week. So can you get me through this show-less week with a little scoopage? — Liliana
I hear there's a two-part story coming up soon. According to Diego Klattenhoff, who plays Agent Ressler, "Episodes 9 and 10 are going to be big. We're definitely going to have a big episode." In fact, he says, "I would say it's our best episode of the season so far." Let's just say this: I hear the episode involves Red in the hands of someone who isn't very happy with him. But how does Red get kidnapped while he's being tracked? Well, that gets, gulp, dealt with.
HOLY TWIST, Sleepy Hollow!! The whole Headless Horseman twist was just awesome. I LOVE THIS SHOW. Please give me some scoopage! — Amy
According to Mark Goffman, if you want to be shocked, just wait until the season finale. "The best I can say is it's going to be epic," he says. "[It's] a pretty spectacular finish, which is going to leave all of our characters in a very precarious place."
I know you can't say A LOT about The Mentalist. But you gotta give me something on the Red John ep! — Tyler
The EPs were not joking when they promised closure. You definitely get that. But, in perfect Mentalist form, the episode still ends with quite the big question mark. And the award for vaguest scoop goes to…

I bought the six burner cook top from a distributor showroom and had to buy the BBQ as well. In hindsight, I should have tossed the BBQ as I mostly just dust it and it takes up space. What I would like to do is switch out the interior guts of the BBQ and replace it with a wok burner. The BBQ has its own gas supply separate from the cook top. I've looked at Wok Burners but they are all 20 - 24" in width and don't fit with the look of the cook top and are more money than I want to spend even if it would fit.. Thanks in advance for any suggestions |
Follow-Up Postings:
I recall that there was a thread on a similar topic a few years ago that, ultimately, "degenerated" into links to monster propane cookers for tail-gating parties. However, a Google search using this site's URL and your subject wording may wake it from the dead. I question whether having such a unit so close to what appears to be an upper cabinet edge in your picture would meet code. My Cooktek 3.5 kW induction wok unit would fit in that space, I think, and be equivalent to somewhere around 30k BTU/hr heat equivalence. But while it can caramelize meat and have the responsiveness of gas, it won't have the 100k BTU/hr performance of a restaurant wok burner. kas |
kas thanks for your reply. I am not really looking for a 100k BTU burner restaurant burner. I believe the BBQ is rated at only 15K or 20K. at most. Above the cooking paraphernalia sits a Venta Hood with two blowers seized and positioned for the cook top and BBQ. I would be happy with a 30K burner. I've done a chicken on the rotisserie that came with the BBQ and the only problem is splattering onto the wood cabinet above. I have that problem on the other side of the cook top as well where another cabinet hangs. In a perfect world, I would totally redo the entire thing. |

I'd really appreciate any feedback you have regarding cork flooring. We're considering putting cork in the kitchen area. Recently we took down the wall between the dining area and kitchen and installed a peninsula. Not sure we could match the old oak floors in the dining area and like the green aspect of cork. As we'd be putting it down ourselves my husband would like to use the floating floor rather than the glue down. We had a great experience with the pergo in the kitchen and I think both the laminates and floating cork floors have similiar midsections. Has anyone had negative or positive experiences with floating cork floors? We've liked samples from both APC and US flooring. Has anyone had experience with their products? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We installed cork in our Family Room. We used We cork flooring in a floating floor. We have a high traffic area, door to pool, 2 steps up to to kitchen/lr/front door, and hall way to garage/mudroom/laundry room. The kitchen/Dr area is red oak. Debated about adding more wood, but we are so glad we went with the cork. It wears like a champ. I added a link for the floor we got. We went with the planks. Good luck. PS Be careful about the brand. I was told to stay away from the Chinese cork. |
Here is a link that might be useful: We Cork
Thanks for the feedback. Reading the reviews was interesting. Thank you Alex5567. Carolmka thanks for the link and feedback on We Cork. US Floors and APC have dealers in my area and I looked closely at their samples. The US Floors seemed harder and smoother than the APC sample. My primary concern is my cats using them as scratching posts and my DH is very concerned about water damage. |
I have a door out to a swimming pool. Water has not been a problem. N more so that the wood floor in my kitchen. I have a cat and had a big dog over Christmas. Floor survived better than my wood floor. |

We have Durodesign glue down tiles. Water has never been a problem, and we have messy boys and a pool out back. Our cat has never done anything to the floor except throw up on it, but she does that everywhere. |

need duvet cover ideas
posted by: bungalow_house on 10.31.2010 at 10:15 pm in Home Decorating Forum I have purchased a duvet for this bed, and I'm not finding an affordable cover that I like. Would it look weird to get an inexpensive solid color duvet cover that would be folded at the end of the bed (well...on days the bed is made...) and leave this quilt as the patterned element? Could use some shams too.
Or if someone has other suggestions, I'm all ears. The walls are Benjamin Moore October Mist. Sorry for the bad lighting in this photo.

RE: Need Help & Advice Selecting & Sizing Bath Fan (Follow-Up #5)
posted by: mongoct on 08.31.2008 at 12:31 pm in Bathrooms Forum Susan,
It's not that a remote fan has to be sized larger than a normal fan. It's that a fan just needs to be properly sized. Period. And if you have to choose between slightly smaller and slightly larger, I'd recommend larger. Small baths are typically sized by the volume of the room. Larger baths can also be sized by the fixtures within that room. Smaller baths can still effectively vent with a single vent. Larger baths can be more effectively vented with more than one vent. You'll find many people look at the volume of the room (say 150 ft) and then specify a 150 cfm fan to give you one air change per hour. However, that fan, while rated at 150cfm, won't move 150 cfm of air due to the resistance of the ducting, the number or bends in the duct, etc. Solid 4" metal duct offers less resistance to air movement than the ribbed flex duct. More bends offer more resistance than straight ducting. These inefficiencies mean that your 150cfm fan is now, in reality, only moving 120cfm, or 100 cfm, or 90cfm. To make up for that added resistance, the fan needs to be upsized. Some of the better manufacturers have always considered basic duct resistance in their calculations. With the Fantech, it's rated at 230 cfm. However, Fantech realizes that the basic static resistance due to basic run of ducting is .4 pull, so the effective volume of air that the fan can move is actually about 195-200 cfm. Add a couple of more bends, or extra feet of straight run, or ribbed flex versus the smother solid wall duct, and you can get up to .6, then you're only getting about 170 cfm of real air movement. Nutone? If I needed a fan for a powder room, I might be persuaded. But for good quiet ventilation, Panny's are good, they're quiet too. For larger volumes of air and with only using a single fan, Fantech remotes are better, and quieter. Do realize that it's sometimes tough to spend extra money on ventilation. Until you realize that your existing fan can be so loud that you prefer to not use it. Then you can end up with air problems, excess moisture, mildew, etc. And the expense of replacing a fan is tough to swallow. The Fantech 230-3 is about $180-200, that's for the fan and the two vent asemblies. For remote fans, Panasonic does have the FV-20NLF1, it's comparable to the Fantech 230 in regards to how much air it moves. It's a 240cfm with no load, which means it should be around 200cfm at .4, and cost wise it's probably around $130-$150 for the fan, then you'd need the two grids to go in your ceiling. Total cost for the fan and two grids might be slightly more expensive than the Fantech, which includes everything. But I do have to say that when it comes to large fans, I'm more familiar with Fantech than Panny. Conclusion? Either the Fantch 230-2 or the Panny 20NLF1 will, even when "derated", move enough air to vent your bathroom using two ceiling vents. Both are remote, so they will both be quiet if properly installed. If you decide to go with two individual, fully contained ceiling vents, each with their own fan, then make sure they are properly sized for the mount of ducting they will have to push the air through. Size the one in the shower for the size of the shower. Size the one in the bath for the size of the bath. I've never had to replace a Fantech for being noisy. I've replaced a couple of Panny's for noise, but never a "whisper" series, although I did have to redo the ducting of a Panny whisper because the installer had a coupe of bends that mad too much air noise. After I tweaked things it ran quieter. I've replaced several Nutones due to noise. All my opinion. Your mileage may vary. Mongo NOTES: <none>

RE: Contractor doesn't use vapor barrier behind tiles in tub (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: sweeby on 08.11.2008 at 11:07 am in Bathrooms Forum Hi Jenna -
Your contractor has been doing it wrong for years -- many have... Hardiebacker and Durock are more water-resistant than ordinary sheetrock, but they are certainly not waterproof. If you ever see a scrap of Durock that has been left outside in a wet environment for a few weeks, you'll see what I mean. In a finished shower, moisture will go through the grout lines very easily, and even through the tile faces themselves to some extent. That moisture will seep into the Durock where it sits until it evaporates (slowly) or continues on to the wooden studs behind, causing them to rot. A moisture membrane behind the Durock helps slow this process down A LOT, preserving the life of the wooden framing studs behind. What's even better is a relatively new product called 'Kerdi' that's applied on top of the Durock. Do some reading on this board, and have your contractor do some research on Kerdi, and the benefits will become apparent very quickly. The over-simplified version is that Kerdi is a moisture membrane that goes between the tile and the Durock. The Kerdi layer prevents the moisture from ever reaching the Durock, dramatically lengthening the life of your installation. Of course, for leaks that occur at the valve, none of these precautions will help much... There are moisture alarms you can buy that will notify you if there's a leak, and leaving an access panel behind the valve will be invaluable then. NOTES: <none>

RE: Flooring in laundry - Opinions please! (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: jaymielo on 08.30.2008 at 12:44 am in Building a Home Forum In agreement with everyone else that a ceramic will probably be fine, given you choose well. We went with a "rustic" tile with an uneven edge and a dark grout. There is enough variegation in the color of the tile that dirt doesn't seem to be a problem.
The grout looks pretty light here with the flash, but it is actually a medium to dark grey and picks up the lighter "overwash" color from the tile. These pictures were taken during construction and show the tile at it's worst. There is actually drywall "smudges" on the tile and it still doesn't look all that bad. I'd say it adds "character". ;-) NOTES: <none>

The dim of the washer/dryer that we use are shown on the drawing. I actually had the shower as you want and then I moved it because I thought you'd have more room when you entered the laundry since the shower was supposed to be 3'. If you want to have a bigger mud room bench you can use a pocket door. I draw the wall for the pocket with 2x6 studs for a sturdier wall. Are you using a shower base (you have a lot of sizes to chose from) and then tile the surround or use nudo board or some cultured marble or acrylic to protect walls? If your pets are small you could use a Mop Sink. Most of them are 24"x24" and they come with a hose, you can also plug them to fill it up, they are deep enough and I think you can get and standard protection for the walls. NOTES: <none>

RE: Basic bathroom planning - measurements? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: lazypup on 03.08.2008 at 09:55 pm in Bathrooms Forum The clearances for a bathtub are determined by the physical size of the tub you select.
Under the International Residential Code (IRC) a shower stall is required to have a minimum rough pan size of 32" x 32" and under the UPC it is required to be 34" x 34" A shower is required to have a 30" diameter area in the shower stall with vertical clearance of 72" above the elevation of the finished drain. (The shower control knobs or an handrail may project into the 30" clearance. When constructing a shower the shower head MAY NOT point towards the door. When constructing a corner shower with an angled door on the front corner, the UPC requires the pan to be 39-1/2" on each wall and the door must have a minimum 22" width. Under both the IRC and UPC a toilet or bidet is required to have a side to side clearance of 15" from the centerline of the bowl to any wall, fixture or appurtenance on either side. The IRC requires a toilet to have a frontal clearance of 21" from the front edge of the bowl to any adjacent wall, fixture or appurtenance. The UPC requires a 24" frontal clearance. The IRC requires a lavatory to have a 21" frontal clearance measured from the front edge of freestanding bowl or from the front edge of that lavatory cabinet. The UPC has no specific clearance for a lavatory bowl, however you must check your local codes. Door swing clearances would be dictated by the size of the door. Most code require an interior door to be a minimum of 30" wide. This should give you the basics based upon the national model codes but before you finalize your plan be sure to check with your local inspection authority to see if your local codes may be different.

The clearances around the island are as follows: ~48" on the seating side, ~45" on the refrigerator side (to the counter, less to the fridge), and ~43" on the stove side. If I had it to do over, I'd move the island about 3-4" closer to the stove. The clearance in front of the fridge is about perfect. susan205, my island is 7.5' x 3.5' and my pendant shades are 8" across. Three has turned out to be the perfect number of pendants for us.

Interesting...Have you noticed that threads...
posted by: buehl on 05.02.2008 at 09:52 am in Kitchens Forum Have you noticed that threads that have dropped off are now often still available if you've bookmarked them?
As I was going through my bookmarks, I noticed that several I had bookmarked have dropped off...yet I can still bring them up. I have not received a single "Missing File" message today and I've looked at at least a dozen threads that should be "missing" E.g., "tray cabinets - top 1/2 wasted space" Last post 2/17/08 Do a search...it doesn't come up Yet, it still comes up when I click on my bookmark!
So, it looks like in many cases while you can no longer search for an old thread, find it in the thread list, or successfully bump it, you may still be able to see them! All the threads I've looked at dropped off in 2008--so I wonder if that has something to do with it (i.e., only threads from this year are still available if you know the URL???)
Care to share your best kitchen storage ideas?

RE: Kabinart cabinets from MKFUSA are here! (Follow-Up #9)

It's 70% off if you spend over $3500: link to the Starmark section of the site down below - click on price list for specific prices, and remember that those are the full prices and you get 70% off of that listed price. However, there's also a 3% increase for 2008, so count that in. They give instructions on how to calculate everything.
I've been really intrigued by the company as well and looking at the Starmark catalog, and couldn't wait to hear how some of the people ordering from them made out, so I'm anxiously awaiting more pictures Beth! Are you installing them yourself? My husband and I aren't that handy and with a house badly out of square, I'd really like someone else to install them if I go this route - and I wonder how hard it is to find a workman to install cabinets you ordered independently online!

4'' Broom Closet from Ikeafans
posted by: buehl on 02.11.2008 at 12:26 pm in Kitchens Forum Ikeafans has 2 threads about how to build a 4" broom closet. (Thanks for reminding us about it Napagirl!)
We may have a 6" tall filler (90") b/w our ovens and cabinets to the right. From the Ikeafans website it looks like StacyLu (with a box prebuilt) and Jgsearls (w/o a prebuilt box) had theirs retrofitted...after everything else was done. Since our contractor has not been very receptive to new and different ideas, we're thinking of doing this ourselves...but it would have to be after the fact. Has anyone on this site done this? Does anyone know if we can just attach the filler strip to a 2x4 or 2x6...or do we have to have a finished plywood piece (or, is that what filler is???)? Two threads about this, both on Ikeafans: 4" Broom Closet Modification (Stacylu) Pullout Broom Closet Modification (Jgsearls) Note: I think you have to be logged into Ikeafans to see the pictures.

My pulls are in! Thought I'd share a great hardware website!
posted by: dd70 on 03.04.2008 at 01:13 pm in Kitchens Forum After a long quest looking for reasonably priced yet quality cabinet knobs/pulls, I concluded to just get the one's that I love, Tuscany by Top Knobs. So all total it would have cost close to $450 for the amount I needed, 34. Not to mention I wanted them in antique copper which of course is more expensive (always my luck). So I quickly concluded to keep searching for less expensive in that style and I found this website who had my tuscany knobs (not made by top knobs) for way less than half the price. I was leary so I emailed them regarding the weight of them (i hate lite, cheap feeling pulls) and they told me:
"These items are made from zinc. We believe these are solid. We can request this information from the manufacturing warehouse to be certain if you would like. This may take a few days. We have not had any complaints regarding the weight or feel of these pieces." All right, I took a chance and placed the order.....praying they were nice. My total for 44 knobs/pulls/bail pulls came to $160, (I ordered 10 extra) shipping was a little high at $43 but it was still a huge savings. I got them today, Im so excited!! I ripped open the box, still praying, and they are beautiful!! They have a nice weight and feel to them and they are exactly what I wanted.

RE: KM mandolay cherry cabs in cabernet or autumn blush? (Follow-Up #3)
posted by: lnersesian on 03.07.2008 at 12:57 pm in Kitchens Forum We have them in Maple Chestnut. I had initially really wanted the cabernet finish, but our cabinet rep told us that KM had issues with consistency with the stain (since it was so dark there was evidence of splotching or something). This is going back a couple of years, but at the time, it swayed me to the chestnut and we are very happy with the results.

Now that I have [X], I think I could have lived without it.
posted by: cate1337 on 07.15.2007 at 07:43 pm in Kitchens Forum Hi, all.
I want to know what all of you would fill in for [X] in the statement, "Now that I have [X], I think I could have lived without it." For background: I just read the great thread "Fill in - Now that I have [X], I would never go back to [Y]." (Thanks for starting that, Shannonplus2. It was very helpful as I wrap up my new layout.) Shannon introduced the thread by referring to "biggest waste of money in your kitchen" or "best low-cost idea" threads. Well, I did a search for those threads and didn't find them. (Please let me know if I missed them, know I'm a noob, did search from the bottom searchbox but didn't feel like scrolling through the 40-some pages that came up.) And I just decided to move my cooktop in the new kitchen to an island, so I'll need an island vent, so I'll need to cut corners somewhere. $1600 or more corners. *gasp* So would any of you say, perhaps: Now that I have the new engineered quartz counters, I think I could have lived with formica for a few years.... Now that I have a new refrigerator, I think I could have lived with the old one for a while... Now that I have a double oven and a microwave, I never use all of them at once... Now that I have a single-bowl, 10" deep sink, I think I could've lived with a 7"? I.e., what would you cut from your kitchen design?

Purchasing Plubming fixtures on-line?
posted by: msloane794 on 02.18.2008 at 10:28 am in Kitchens Forum Has anyone had any good/bad experiences purchasing plumbing fixtures on-line? It seems that you can find great prices on name brand products if you google around a bit. There are literally hundreds of places on the web, and the prices I am seeing are hundreds of dollars less than the local suppliers. I'm just curious if some of these places are hard to work with, or don't deliver what they say they are delivering.
FYI, I am looking at buying a Blanco stainless steel kitchen sink, and Grohe fixtures. For what I am looking for lowcostplumbing.com and irawoods.com look like the best prices I've found so far. NOTES: <none>

I have found this forum to be an invaluable source of ideas and information. Little by little, I've defined my own sense of style and decor in my home by reading this site. GW has become my "study break" when I need to let my brain have some fun. One thing I've really enjoyed is looking at everyone's paint colors they've used in their home and so I thought I would share what I chose in our new home, just because!

GE Profile Induction OR DeDetriech unit...
posted by: mcassel on 01.04.2008 at 10:17 am in Appliances Forum It seems as time has gone by and my house has taken longer to build that I thought (yes I was naive) there are now a lot more choices at reasonable prices for indiction cooktops... When I was looking 8 months ago in my budget I was limited to Kenmore/Electrolux and the DD units and with those two options the DD unit came out on top by a long way... But now it seems like there are some other very good options and leading the pack is the new GE Profile unit.
Which is the better performing unit of the two the GE and DD? Of course the GE is UL rated which is nice but not a must have for me and both aesthetically look very nice NOTES: <none>

I am about to purchase a stainless steel French Door refrigerator and am having a lot of trouble finding good online reviews of these products. From what I have read in this forum, LG has terrible customer service so I will avoid that brand. The brands I am considering are KitchenAid, GE, Whirlpool, and Maytag. I have read that some of the Maytags can be loud. Also, I am not looking for a model with the exterior ice and water dispenser. I have looked for weeks so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Electrical outlets, phone/cable(jacks)outlets.....

Is there anywhere you wish you would have installed a particuliar outlet and didn't? Or put one where it wasn't necessary at all? Did you plan the outlets around your furniture placement?
If you had an intercom system installed, do you use it? I had one when my 5 kids were small, and found I used it often, especially when I needed to call them down for dinner. I'm thinking of re-sale since i'll be living by myself, and it's a family sized house. Did anyone add the holiday package for outdoor Christmas lights?

I'm formerly from NJ (lived in Bergen County all my life, until last week). Glad to have another Jersian here.
Hi Lou and the rest of the WDW Radio family. My name is Kevin, I'm from NJ and my girlfriend and I will be taking our first ever trip together to WDW this September (23-30). To say we're excited is putting it mildly. The last time I visited the world was 2003, right after graduating from high school, and my girlfriend has never been there before. I can't wait to see her face light up as she sees Cinderella Castle for the first time! I also get to indulge the kid in me as we'll be staying in the Pirate Themed Rooms at Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort.
I love the podcasts and have become an avid listener. I just started a new job and I listen all day. It's been getting me even more psyched (and I didn't think that was possible!)
Thanks for reading this and I hope to meet some of you if you will be in the World while I'm there!

Atlantic Monthly, The
Atlantic Monthly, The
Monthly journal of literature and opinion, one of the oldest and most respected of U.S. reviews. Published in Boston, it was founded in 1857 by Moses Dresser Phillips. It soon became noted for the quality of its fiction and general articles, contributed by distinguished editors and authors such as James Russell Lowell, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry W. Longfellow, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. In the early 1920s it expanded its scope to political affairs, featuring articles by figures such as Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Booker T. Washington. In the 1970s increasing costs nearly shut down the magazine; it was purchased in 1980 by Mortimer B. Zuckerman and was sold to the National Journal Group in 1999.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maya!
Facts about Maya
- Breed: Golden Retriever
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Maya's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Adopted 3/22/13!!!
Maya is a 14 month old pure bred Golden girl who was purchased from an Amish puppy mill in PA. She has been with her original family since she was a pup. While her family loves Maya, they have come to the realization that they do not have the time to spend with Maya that she so needs and deserves. With the family busy with work, school, and activities, Maya spends her days in a crate. She only gets to spend a short time outside the crate each day and this is just not enough stimulation, neither physical nor mental, for a young dog.
One of SGRR's volunteers visited with Maya and told us what a sweet and loving dog Maya is. She craves affection and attention and was observed putting her paw on her 10 year old human over and over, just begging for attention. Many people do not realize that adopting a Golden Retriever is almost like adding another child to the family with regard to the amount of inclusion Goldens crave. Maya is wonderful with the family's 3 young children and has enjoyed the company of her canine cousin. She is gentle taking treats from our volunteer and our volunteer was able to put her fingers in Maya's mouth and touch her pearly white teeth. She loves toys but will chew them up into many pieces so we recommend more durable toys such as Nylabones and similar sturdier toys for her.
When Maya was about 8 months old, the family went on vacation and she stayed with her human uncle and his dog. She became very depressed and experienced separation anxiety. Teaching a dog to associate the owner's departure with a reward, like a delicious stuffed Kong or other food-dispensing toy, can help resolve the problem with a positive association, as well as distract your dog for the first few minutes you're gone. Providing a young dog like Maya with enough exercise is also a key to a contented dog. So if you are looking for a walking or running buddy, this girl is sure to be at your side. Maya's first family told us that Maya loves to swim in their built-in pool and loves to fetch sticks, balls, and even wiffle ball bats.
Maya is a beautiful, highly trainable, and smart Golden who will flourish with an owner who can give her the guidance, training, and leadership she so needs. She will blossom into a wonderful companion when she knows what her human wants of her. We can only consider applications for Maya from folks who are home most of the day. If you have lots of love and time to dedicate to helping Maya learn the ropes, she will repay you with a lifetime of devotion! But don't wait - a gorgeous gal like this is not going to last long!
PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: APPLY ON-LINE TO ADOPT through our rescue.
Direct questions regarding an application's status to: email@example.com
Approved applicants may direct questions regarding a specific dog to: Dog inquiry from approved applicant.
About Our Rescue
Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready.
A contract is signed the day of adoption. Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided.
The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.
Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maya, a Cheshire Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Golden Retriever for sale in Cheshire, or seeking a Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Cheshire.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cheshire already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cheshire breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Golden Retriever breeders who help with Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cheshire paves the way for another one to be saved.

Make it a great day!
Quick start here today. Just paid bills, and need to get us up and going for the day. Rex is hanging in there, still not 100% but more than loving! Our family made it home safelly, and we all have happy memories.Candice, try one load, ok? We want you healed! :-)
OK, off and running! Later!
Good afternoon my friends,I am so tired I can barely think! I did not sleep last night but managed a 30 minute nap when Brice took a nap this morning but it didn't seem to help. He should take another nap around 3 but I will try to stay awake until at least 8 before I go to bed with hopes that I will sleep tonight.Sue, a very nice cheery wish from you today. I love it and it made me smile. BTW, thanks for the updates on Ginger. I'm glad she is doing so well.Becky, so sorry to hear that Rex is not doing any better. I know that has to be taking its toll on all of y'all worrying about him. How are things at work?Candice, you are over doing it! Your leg being so painful should be a clue to you that you are on your feet too long! Your doctor is going to fuss at you when you go back for your next visit if you don't rest more!I am not cooking tonight. This bunch are having hot dogs with chili and some mac and cheese! And someone else is going to clean the kitchen tonight. I don't care who does it!!Waving and sending hugs,GOD bless,Rose
Afternoon ladies,
Candice, glad you supervised hubby last night. Hope the shower and hair wash went alright. Yes, she was hunting and pecking to type as she has the sling on most of each day.
Oh your appointment is next Monday after Mother's Day.
Thanks for the start today Becky. Boo hiss on paying bills, hoping and wishing all the best for Rex. Glad he is still loving and let's hope he does a bit better each day. My continued prayers, hugs and love coming to all of you.
(((Rose)))) so hope you can sleep tonight. Glad I made you smile today with the graphic. You aren't having an easy time of it lately. Your welcome on the updates on Ginger. Hard for her to type with only one hand. Good for you Rose on the cooking and cleaning up. Sending HUGS to you....and sweet dreams I hope.
Well I am off to nap time.
I am supposed to be up on my feet..not sitting...you heal quicker when you are moving they said..however..no bending ,lifting, twisting, pulling , tugging ,...reaching. Things that can hurt you. So if I am upright and moving it is ok..how ever the dog got really sick in 3 spots on the kitchen floor in the middle of the night that I cleaned up..was not gonna leave it to stain so that and being outside and taking a shower did me in..lots of pain..the most I have had...I dropped a few things in the shower and had to bend to get them...decided to cut about 4inches off my hair to make it easier to wash right now. Getting dresses is hard too but I can't run around naked!!!!!!! Lol. I also worked on cards to be mailed this week..but that does not hurt me.
Becky and anyone who knows..how do I take care of those 4plants the kids gave me...the direction say..bright light, no direct sunlight, water when dry and keep at even temp. So I do not think they are ment for outside??? They are in 4inch pots and I know they need to be repotted..what size do I use and when do I do it. I have never had luck with a calla Lilly..and the leaves are turning a bit yellow now..too wet I think...can you grow hydranges inside..could put on front porch. The other one a campanula and has tiny white flowers that are turning brown. Advice please...
It's Tuesday...
Rose, I hope that you won the batlle tonight! (((Hugs)))
Sue, thanks for the graphic. Rex is resting today, eating half his meals, but he is eating. I went to the vet this afternoon and picked up his meds. Hopefully he will be more comfortable by morning. I stood at the counter asking my hard questions, blubbering away. At least when his time comes we have a game plan in place. The gal even gave me her home number if we need to get ahold of someone over the weekend. I really like this vet!
Candice, we are zone 5, probably about the same as you. Hydrangeas will live through the winter in the ground, but I think in pots they will freeze and die. If you want to keep it in a pot you probably will have to overwinter it inside. If you want to plant it, I'd do it soon so it has the season to harden up and grow some Before next winter. Callas here are perennials, coming back each year In ground. I don't know about potted ones. In theory the campanulas are perennials, and I planted my first one last year. not sure yet if it is back, or if it died. Hope that helps. About the reaching, call an occupational therapist and get a reaching tool/grabber. They come I handy for a lot of things. I used to use dads to pick up pine cones after he didn't need it anymore! They're fairly cheap and very handy!
Ginger, hope you are coming along well! Miss you.
have a good night everyone. I'm off to hang out with DD and the pups.

YAY! The Brewers won 4 in a row... do you know what that means??? World Series
I'm kidding, but there is one thing wrong with going to WDW on STEP 30. It's that if the Brewers do make the Playoffs (which I'm saying it's going to happen, but now it's not that hard with 10 teams making it in) but we would miss some if not all of it if it's three games out.
I remember in 2011 we were in WDW when the Brewers won the Central, but we came back just the day before game one of the NLDS. And then a week later was the best day of my life.

B Vitamin Beneficial for Failing HeartsThiamine supplementation may have beneficial effects on cardiac function in patients with diuretic drugs for symptomatic chronic heart failure
People being treated for chronic heart failure may find help from an often-overlooked B vitamin: thiamine, otherwise known as vitamin B1. A new study found that people taking diuretic medications for heart failure had better cardiac function when they added a thiamine supplement.
The risk of thiamine deficiencySevere thiamine deficiency, also known as beriberi, with its array of symptoms such as confusion, tingling and numbness, muscle weakness, unusual eye movements, and heart failure, is virtually unknown in Western societies where most refined grains are enriched with the B vitamins lost during processing. Thiamine and its partner B vitamins are removed through the kidneys, so people who use diuretic medications may be at risk for B vitamin deficiencies that could worsen their health. Combining diuretics and thiamineThe new study, published in Clinical Research in Cardiology, included nine people with chronic heart failure. All of the participants were being treated with diuretic medications to reduce the fluid build-up in the lungs associated with poor heart function. During the first phase of the study, they were assigned to take either 300 mg of thiamine or placebo each day for four weeks; during the second phase, the assignments were reversed for another four weeks. These phases were separated by six weeks with no thiamine. Thiamine improves heart functionThe researchers found the following:
"This study suggests that thiamine supplementation has beneficial effects on cardiac function in patients with diuretic drugs for symptomatic chronic heart failure," the study's authors said. "Subclinical thiamine deficiency is probably an underestimated issue in these outpatients." Supplements for a failing heartBefore adding supplements to a treatment plan, especially for those with a life-threatening condition, it's important to consult with the treating doctor and to check on the safety of combining supplements with medication. This study suggests that people with heart failure may benefit from taking extra thiamine and most nutrition experts recommend taking a B-complex multivitamin when supplementing with a high dose of any one B. Here are some other supplements to consider:
