It all seems wonderfully strange and grand until you learn that of the several Macdonald chiefs who make up Clan Donald—Glengarry, Sleat, and Clanranald being the most important—none owns any land and, with the exception of Kinloch Lodge, not a castle or a house between them that isn't a ruin. Godfrey's father died young and the estate, which had once included large tracts of Skye and North Uist, with mortgages and bonds going back to the 1800's, had to be sold to pay off death taxes. A familiar story in the Highlands. But in this case all was not lost.
When the estate was being broken up, some of his clansmen approached their new chief and asked if he would object to their buying back part of it for the clan. Godfrey encouraged them and the Clan Donald Lands Trust was formed in 1971. Twenty thousand acres were saved, and the Clan Donald Visitor Centre established around the ruins of Armadale Castle on the Sleat Peninsula. It now holds a museum, restaurants, rental cottages, a gift shop, garden, library, even a resident genealogist.
"People can come to study, they can pursue their family roots, they can walk on their own land. It's really quite an achievement," Godfrey says. He clearly enjoys running Kinloch Lodge, which in its own way has become another clan center. "Every year, I see hundreds of Macdonalds. Not just those who are guests. They ask to meet their chief, and I never refuse. It may be an inherited duty, but I feel the bond of our common ancestry very strongly. I consider myself fortunate to be what I am. Of course, on Skye," he adds, "you are judged for what you do, not who you are."
His own achievement, with Claire's energetic help and talent, in turning the dilapidated shooting lodge he inherited into a successful hotel has been remarkable. After 30 years, Kinloch is known all over for its heavenly food and unstuffy ambience. It has given Skye, ever a magnet to visitors thanks to its glorious Cuillin Mountains and romantic association with Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora Macdonald, the reputation of a culinary destination. After all, it's where God chooses the wine.

Tell someone who doesn't live anywhere near the Southwest that you reside in Arizona and they probably will ask how you enjoy living in a state that is one big desert.
Of course, you know better.
A two-hour drive will land you at the start of the White Mountains, which many people consider some of the most beautiful land in the nation. Chock full of pine trees, mountain lakes and herds of elk — and moderate summer temperatures and snow in the winter — the White Mountains offer a great retreat from the desert.
In the summer, the White Mountains are a fantastic camping destination. It seems once you reach the area, you will pass a campground every few miles. The big thing to know is whether the campground is in the national forest or on a reservation. Each requires specific permits for camping and fishing. Fishing on public lands requires a state license. Fishing on a reservation costs $6 per day.
Keep in mind we are in the monsoon season, a time when it storms daily in the White Mountains.
The following is a listing of some of the better camping/ fishing spots in the White Mountains:
• Big Lake: Considered by many the jewel of the area, the 400-acre lake is surrounded by 205 campsites and has showers. In the national forest, it is 26 miles southwest of Springerville via highways 260 and 261.
• Hawley Lake: Surrounded by pine and birch trees, this gorgeous lake has 100 campsites on its south shore. On a reservation eight miles south of Highway 260 where State Route 473 ends, the beauty and privacy abound. There is a store with a cafe and a marina with boat rentals. Maintenance is minimal and the roads in the campground are rough, especially after it rains.
• Horseshoe Cienega Lake: Nine miles east of McNary and just south of Highway 260, this reservation campground has 70 sites, a store with boat rentals and plenty of stocked trout.
• Reservation Lake: Locals will tell you this lake, which, of course, is on a reservation, has the best fishing in the White Mountains. At 9,500 feet, it has 90 camp sites. Take highways 260 and 261 out of Springerville to Big Lake, then Forest Routes 249E and 116 and Apache Route Y20.
• Rolfe C. Hoyer: With 100 sites a mile north of Greer on State Route 373, this is like camping at home with flush toilets and showers — except if you venture across the road you can fish in the East and West Forks of the Little Colorado River.
• Sunrise Lake: Located on Highway 273 just east of Highway 260 below the Sunrise Ski Park, the lake is surrounded by open field. The campground across the road, though, has 200 extremely wooded sites.
Meadows within the campground, which is on a reservation, mean there is a good chance you can wake up to a herd of elk.
On the shores of the lake are Sunrise Park Resort, a store and a marina with boat rentals.
White Mountains camping
• Where: About two-to-four hours northeast of the Valley.
• What: Campgrounds throughout the area on either national forest or reservation land.
• Amenities: Varies between campgrounds. Most do not have flush toilets or showers. All are either on a lake or close to one.
• Information: Call (877) 444-6777 or (928) 338-4385 or visit www.wmonline.com

Visualizing the invisible, from service design to sustainability.
Until the end of the year, I'll be sharing design challenges from my book Creative Workshop: 80 Challenges to Sharpen Your Design Skills, which was just released by HOW Design Press. The book consists of 80 creative challenges that will help you achieve a breadth of stronger design solutions, in various media, within any set time period. Each exercise includes compelling visual solutions from other designers and background stories to help you increase your capacity to innovate. Here's the fourth one in this series: "Reduce, Reuse, Redecorate."
My vision of future fashion, when it comes to home furnishings, is the concept of reuse. Without reuse, we'll never be able to reduce the number of products that already choke our landfills and threaten to overtake the Pacific Ocean. Essentially, we can no longer choose to make products out of practically any material and expect them to magically vanish off the face of the planet when they reach the end of their first life.
I'm all for the craft revolution brought upon us by the ReadyMade magazines of the world—and we have the capacity as designers to imagine truly inspired designs that, if primed for larger-scale production, can help take care of our trash in a functional manner instead of creating more of it. With this challenge, you'll get a chance to design furniture that does just that!
In an hour, take a recyclable object that you purchase regularly when going about our everyday lives—bottles, cans, cutlery, plates, cups, magazines, whatever works—and design a piece of furniture that uses it in multiples. As part of your planning process, consider if your furniture would require detailed instructions for construction or would be delivered in an entirely constructed state.
Then, in your second hour, build yourself a rough prototype of the idea—perhaps at a smaller scale if you don't have access to the requisite source materials. Does your idea hold up when you make it real?
Shown above is one of the inspirations for this challenge, the "Meltdown" series by Tom Price, a furniture and product designer established in London. "Plastic is with us virtually from now to eternity: impervious to bacteria, acid, salt, rust, breakage and, in some cases, able to withstand heat, plastic is something of a miracle substance. One hundred years ago, when it was first invented, no one could have anticipated that plastic would present one of our biggest recycling challenges … These chairs are part of a series commissioned by Arts Co for the exhibition, 'From Now to Eternity,' and are made exclusively from discarded polyester fleece clothing … The seat area is created by placing layers of polyester clothing onto a hot steel seat-shaped former. As it heats, the fabric begins to melt, exposing and integrating colors and patterns of the various layers. When cooled the surface is transformed into a rigid, shiny, colorful display of dissolved pattern and color."
Another inspiration for this challenge was the ReVision project from Artists for Humanity, a Boston nonprofit that provides urban youth with the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in the arts. "ReVision tables are a response to the market need for innovative sustainable design. All the designs are recreated from reclaimed junk mail and magazines. Once the pieces are assembled, the surfaces are finished with a no-VOC eco-friendly resin, which is water resistant and easy to clean with eco-friendly products. ReVision was the innovation of teen-artists who apprentice at Artists for Humanity."

Childcare, education, working conditions, healthcare, crime … these issues are hotly debated in today's society. They are also issues that Robert Owen, seen by some as a visionary and by others as a knave and a charlatan, sought to address in the early 1800s. This unit uses a series of essays written by Owen to explore the ideas of this important and controversial figure.
By the end of this unit you should be able to understand:
- the Enlightenment ideas that underpinned Robert Owen's social reform agenda;
- how Owen's background and experience at New Lanark fed through into his thinking in the essays in A New View of Society;
- the main proposals in the essays;
- New Lanark's role as a model for social reform during this period.

Robert Owen and New Lanark
Robert Owen (1771–1858) (see Figure 1) was one of the most important and controversial figures of his generation. He lived through the ages of Enlightenment and Romanticism and was personally touched by the ideas and dramatic changes that characterised that era. Profiting enormously during the first half of his life from the progress of industry and having the financial means, he later devoted himself to publicising and practising his social and economic ideas. Most of these derived from Enlightenment notions and, he thought, could eliminate poverty and crime, contributing to social and moral betterment.
This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course From Enlightenment to Romanticism c.1780-1830 (A207). [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]

Division of Hotels and Restaurants
Beginning the Inspection
An inspector conducts an inspection using the 60-item inspection checklist. He brings the appropriate field equipment such as a probe thermometer, alcohol swabs, registering thermometer and/or heat-sensitive tapes, a flashlight and test papers -- chlorine, iodine and quaternary ammonia (chlorine, iodine and quaternary ammonia are sanitizing agents).
Once on the premises, the inspector displays his official State of Florida identification, introduces himself to a representative of the licensed business, and asks to speak to the restaurant manager. The inspector obtains the assurance of access to all areas that require inspection. The inspector invites the establishment to have a representative accompany him during the inspection and offers to go over each item on the inspection report with a representative of the establishment when the inspection is concluded. If the establishment does not wish to provide a representative to accompany the inspector during the inspection, the inspector will conduct the inspection alone.
First, the inspector looks for the establishment's state license. He checks the expiration date and compares the seating capacity on the license with the actual number of seats in the restaurant. The current ownership and business name are also verified, as are the alcoholic beverage license (if applicable) and the county occupational licenses. The inspector will then check for the Certified Food Managers' licenses and compare it with the list of food managers required to be maintained by the establishment. He also will ask to see the most recent inspection report the restaurant must keep on the premises to show to any patron who requests to see it.

In most cases the mantra "you get what you pay for" holds true, but I have found some sites that sell 4" line voltage recessed lights with good looking trims for about 1/2 the cost of competitive and well known brands. I was wondering if anyone has experience going with something like this and has there been any problems?

I am from a Chinese sourcing agent. It's easy to explain the same lighting has different price sale in different channels. Another reason is pirate version. Last year we serviced for a AsSeenOnTV buyer in developing a new product, The buyer invested a lot in this product. But some other factories buy a sample then just copy it, the cost is cheap. Hope my explanation is reasonable Jim Wong |

Ok played 4 games in the last two days - overall lots of fun, and i actually like the grid system for the game. Only a few initial thoughts aty the moment, its still early days so far.
1. map size - have to agree with others a larger grid than 9 x 9 (12 x 12?) would give a bit more manouvering time before the clash of arms - the game is very full on from the first turn, i wonder if a larger map woulallow some more manouvering.
2. cover i know it says 4-6 pieces of cover, but it was only when we started using 6 pieces the infantry squads managed to not get immediatly get cut to pieces. - combat is very deadly in this game, and cover adds a little survivability for the infantry i think id like to play with a bit more cover maybe 8 to 10 pieces.

There are a lot of pep rallies held at Notre Dame, but one in particular stands out each and every year: the Dillon Hall Pep Rally.
The Dillon Hall Pep Rally began approximately 40 years ago. It is traditionally held the Thursday before the first home game (although from 2009-11 the pep rally was moved from its traditional Thursday night, to the Friday night of the first home football game weekend – it has since been moved back to Thursday night going forward).
In the early years of the tradition, the rally was held in the Dillon courtyard that faces South Dining Hall. But as its popularity grew, the stage had to be moved to accommodate a much bigger audience. Now it is held in front of Dillon Hall on South Quad, where it has seen as many as 20,000 fans show up in the best of times.
When it first began, the Dillon Hall pep rally was an event primarily designed by the students, for the students. Unlike the other pep rallies, which are usually held in the Joyce Center or on Irish Green, the Dillon Hall pep rally was not advertised to the public, and did not include the entire football team and cheerleaders.
Instead, the Dillon Hall pep rally featured humorous sketches and skits designed by the men of Dillon Hall, some of which drew complaints for being too offensive to opposing teams and even other dorms (the Dillon Hall motto is "The Smartest, the Strongest, and the Humblest – it was bound to happen).
This is actually why the Dillon Rally was placed on Thursday night; it was designed to be a student-only event, rather than something that the alumni and fans were invited to (because of the vulgar humor). The students typically created a storyline, including little skits about Notre Dame and its stereotypes, as well as skits about pop culture and the world at large, and these were acted out to entertain the entire campus. Integrated into this basic design, special guest speakers were also invited to speak at the pep rally. These guests would typically include the football coach, the safety-enthusiast Officer Tim McCarthy, and the football players who resided in Dillon Hall … including two of my personal all-time favorites: Tony Rice and Brady Quinn. There were also usually appearances made by the drum line, cheerleaders, pom squad and, of course, the leprechaun.
The Dillon Rally has always set the stage for the beginning of the football season. It is the first pep rally that the new freshmen get to witness, and it truly is awesome to see thousands and thousands of fans filling up South Quad. It really showcases the family culture of the Notre Dame student body, as all of the dorms wear their unique colors and show up in great force.
The Dillon Hall Pep Rally just has a special buzz about it. It is a shining example of what the dorm community life at Notre Dame is all about.
If you ever get a chance to catch the Dillon Hall pep rally, I highly recommend it — it is high comedy created by the students of Dillon Hall, and is sure to get you fired up to kick off the season.

Only the old timers will remember this but Rocket Man and the Dillon Freshmen run were part of Dillon Hall Pep Rally. Thanks to pressure from the Administration, we had to discontinue both. Back in the early 1970's, Dillon Hall was the Delta House (from the movie, "Animal House) on the ND campus.

I'd like to make sure that whatever shower head I get allows for a strong flow of water. (I think someone mentioned get one that has a certain removable doodad, the name of which I do not recall.)
So what is it I'm supposed to look for? So far my preferred shower/tub set is the one in the .pdf at the link below. (I know that doesn't have a variable valve to ensure consistent water temp, and I'm OK with that.) |
Here is a link that might be useful: American Standard tub/shower faucet setup

The piece is called a "flow restrictor." Some manufacturers, like Grohe, make it easy to remove this piece, while others, like Kohler and Moen, do not. Generally if the corporate headquarters are in the US, you will have not only a hard time removing it but also an even more difficult time getting help from their customer service on this issue (because of US water flow restrictions). Whatever piece you are considering, you need to call that manufacturer and straight out ask them where the piece is and how to remove it. Most manuals won't even list the part let alone tell you how to remove it. |
Save me from nuclear war....I can figure out how to take a shower! In my experience, mfgs and vendors are prohibited from participating in any way with removal of the restrictor -- including advising you how to do it. You certainly will not find such info in any manual or info-sheet. Thankfully, many vendors, reps, and sales-people ignore the prohibition and are happy to tell you. Ask around. Maybe take it to local hardware store and smile at the plumbing guy. Susanelewis is correct about Grohe and the other vendors. They're all different but they all are required to restrict in order to be allowed to sell under current regs. May be the single most universally ignored law (second only to speed limits) in the country. |

If you are replacing the valve in the wall, chances are the new valve will have the flow restriction cast into the brass. So it won't matter what you do to the shower head. |

Sorry, I couldn't disagree more with Asolo's perspective: We are facing water shortages and importing large amounts of energy from other countries so that people can dump water down the drain. Get over it. 2.5 gpm is plenty of water for a shower. |
Actually, Jake, we're on the same page. I take "navy" showers. Haven't had an actual bath in years. I flush the toilet once a day unless I have company. Laundry and DW are HE. I pay attention. I know how much water I need and don't need and don't waste it (unless you consider my softener-regeneration cycle unforgiveable). However, I certainly did remove the stupid restrictor from my shower head. I favor personal responsibility and common sense over restrictions....but I do acknowledge I live in a world of wasters. |
- Posted by susanelewis (My Page) on Wed, Sep 15, 10 at 21:28
Ok, nothing gets me going more than ridiculous laws that in theory sound good but in practice don't work. And, that is how I feel about some of the water restriction laws. I am a treehugger at heart but w/o the removal of the restrictors, I would have had to stay in the shower 2x as long to rinse the shampoo out of my thick hair. That makes no common sense at all. None of us in this house take long hot showers or waste water, but when I want to get clean, a wimpy shower head is a waste of my time and water. And, btw, when we installed our Grohe many years ago, we didn't fuss with anything in the PB valve but we DID remove the restrictor from the handheld (we use also as shower head). It made a HUGE difference. Maybe that is true for some manufacturers but it is not for Grohe...at least about a decade ago. Personally, I would prefer that Big Brother stay a bit more out of my life. Some restrictions are reasonable...others are simply ridiculous. And, I have a lawn sprinkler system too. I'm surprised those haven't been outlawed! |

Well, it's getting a little off topic, but I guess that's okay... 2.5 gal a minute is a fair amount of water. It's not outrageous government intrusion. Even when people see the big picture, they rarely see themselves as part of the problem. (I get that we have an energy problem, but I NEED a vehicle that gets 8 mpg, for example). What's more, when people turn on the tap and no water comes out they turn to who?!? That's right, they show up at the City or State government offices and demand water. It happens all over - particularly the West and South West. They don't care where it comes from, just get it! They don't care that they are draining aquifers, taking it from farmers, taking it from downstream cities, etc. The Colorado River no longer has water in it to the gulf of California - it's all diverted. You are absolutely correct, I'm also surprised that lawn sprinklers haven't been outlawed in some areas. It's insane to move to Arizona, for example, and demand to have a "lawn". Keep in mind that it takes time for water conserving fixtures to make it into use. If you wait until a water emergency to implement water saving fixture regulations, you have waited about 20-30 years too long. Same with energy conservation. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Drought map
I live in the Southwest. My favorites down here are the "green" folks have low-flow shower-heads, economizer toilets, and HE everything.... balanced by their lawns, swimming pools, and jacuzzi-tubs. What a hoot! |
The problem is national rules to address local issues. Around Washington, DC some localities invested in dams that feed the Potomac River to ensure adequate water during drought conditions, while others did not. We had no water restrictions in a number of Northern Virginia counties a few years ago while the Maryland counties across the river had restrictions. The amount of water that each community can remove from the Potomac River is limited, and when the river has low flow the Virginia Counties open up the dams and get to pull that much more from the river. Whatever water is NOT removed from the river simply flows into the Chesapeake Bay. It is the main water source for Northern Virginia, the Maryland counties around Washington, DC and the city itself. |

I live in Michigan near a river and the county borders Lake Erie. We have had one water emergency in the 32 years I've been married. I run my lawn sprinklers enough to have green grass only a few months of the year. If I lived in the SW, I would landscape like most people using what is drought-tolerant. The issue is government restrictions that don't make sense and applied nationally, like brickeyee said. If I move to an area where access to water is restricted then I would expect that the local governing ordinances would be more restrictive...just like homes in hurricane-affected areas have different building codes. Toilets have come a long way in design that meets the new water laws. I don't have much issue with that. But when it comes to shower heads, it makes my blood boil that we are told how much water we are allowed to use to get ourselves clean. Come on Kramer shower head!!! lol |

Manufacturers want none of that. They don't want a bunch of state (or local) water use restrictions that mean that they have to produce 5 SKU's of a faucet, for example, to meet the different requirements. That's why so many of these kinds of regs are federal regs. Same with energy efficient appliances, emission on cars, etc. It was a complete pain in the butt when California had different emission standards for cars. |
I understand ALL of it. For myself, I REMOVED the restriction. Everybody else can do what they want. Local, state, and federal authorities can come and arrest me if they want. I would WELCOME a jury trial! |
With a good shower head, 2.5 gpm should be plenty of water that feels "powerful" for most folks. I would advise trying a different shower heads before removing a flow restrictor. As for Grohe, I recently installed one that did not have a removable restrictor, which the client requested. In that same bathroom they also happened to unintentionally select an extra low flow "Hansa" brand lavatory faucet. While it looked really cool, at 1.8 gpm (or something like that) the water falling out of the wide-rectangular faucet head was underwhelming to say the least. |
- Posted by susanelewis (My Page) on Tue, Sep 21, 10 at 12:27
How in the world do you "try" different shower heads? That is virtually impossible. Out of curiosity, I just talked to corporate Grohe and they confirmed that ALL of their shower heads and handhelds have removable restrictors. They are a German-base company and those flow restrictors are added for the US market. Perhaps the customer preferred the restrictor left in (is that what you were saying?), but every Grohe handheld and shower head has a removable restrictor. And, there are NO restrictors in any of their PB or thermostatic shower valves. Aslo...lol...agreed! |
"With a good shower head, 2.5 gpm should be plenty of water that feels "powerful" for most folks. " Glad you have made this important decision for all the population of the USA. |
You're welcome. |
Finding the right shower head has become a compulsion of mine too. I hate turning the shower on full blast and I can put my hand in the center of the stream and not get wet!!! I have a box of shower heads I've bought and they just weren't what I wanted. I picked up another one last week to add to the collection that just might do the trick!!! And it only cost $6.00 and some change at Home Depot. No fancy packaging...it is called PEERLESS Power Shower Head, with a power spray with a max flow of 2.5 The way it is made is different than what I'm used to. It's narrow with a button that slides so you can turn it off while lathering up. I don't do that, I want the hot water and spray to poke little holes in me while I lather up. This one seems to come close so until I see something else, this one will hang around awhile. The woman likes it too, says it rinses the soap out of her hair really good and does it fast. Good luck!!! |
The entire population of the USA might enjoy these two shower head options: For a basic unit (no adjustments): We also have a great one by Speakman. Looks like one of these (with the adjustmnet knob): http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=speakman shower heads&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1024&bih=587 |

"..entire population"? Wow, that is quite the generalization and assumption. Quite the tongue in cheek comment....lol. That wouldn't help me cuz I use a handheld on a bar. Fixed shower heads would be a waste in our bathrooms. |
I only meant the entire population that uses fixed shower heads (humbly, of course). |
You call tell you are humble when you avoid mentioning it would be good for the entire world. But, some people are bothered when Americans only think of what would be good in the USA. Ya can't win. Has anyone mentioned yet that a splitter you feed two shower heads from the same wall plumbing? |

Joe Carnahan Confirms 'The Grey' Re-Release; Wolves Everywhere Ready Themselves
Movie News By Kate Erbland on December 3, 2012 | (2) CommentsAs was rumored last week, Joe Carnahan's The Grey will be getting a brief and limited theatrical re-release later this week in order to allow the Liam-Neeson-punches-wolves-and-stuff-and-also-you-cry extravaganza to get a late-breaking awards season push. Why anyone would not already have Neeson down as a lock for Best Wolf-Punching Performance of the Year is unknown, but hey, attention spans are short in Hollywood.
Caranhan confirmed the news via his Twitter, tweeting out: "Guys, December 7th 'THE GREY' begins a two week run at the Laemmle Santa Monica theatre & the Laemmle Town Center, Encino. GET THE WORD OUT!"
As our pals over at /Film note, the film is already on both DVD and Netflix (it was released nearly a year ago, after all), but if you're not interested in seeing Liam Neeson fight a wolf with his bare hands and broken bottles on the big screen, I'm not sure what you could possibly be interested in. Also, now you can see The Grey and Flight in theaters back-to-back for one hell of a double feature, one that will guarantee you won't want to fly anywhere, possibly ever again.

That depends on who looks at this I guess, but looking straight down might help, and/or a pic with something for scale. Not sure of the size of this guy. Some might know from this pic, but I can't tell if the leaves are opposite or alternate. That's a clue for the real botanists. Confirm you just took this pic recently? Do you have any pics of this area from last year that might include this plants' bloom? Whatever else you know about it could help. Is there any scent if you tear a leaf? |
The plant is about 14 inches tall. Unfortunately, I do not have any data from last year as we just moved into this house with many, many plantings. We are excited to care for this "new to us" yard, but we are novices and trying to catalog types so we may research individually. Thanks for your help. |

The repurposing post has me wondering this. I had a spice rack that I got rid of- all of the herbs it came with were ones I rarely used. At this point mine are all in a tupperware container and it drives me crazy. I've thought about just labeling the tops but figured I'd see if any of you have a better method. |
Follow-Up Postings:
This link from the Kitchen Forum has lots of ideas with pictures. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Spice Storage
Not fair Newkitchen Nancy! |
My spices fill two lazy susans. The top cabinet has a lazy susan with 3 shelves, two of which are full of spices. The lower cabinet lazy susan has two shelves, one of which is full of spices in bigger jars. I also have a drawer full of spices which are in bags. Periodically I clean out and toss the old stuff, but it doesn't take long to replenish. Cheryl |
I know Cathy :( I only posted on the chance that someone might read this thread that was looking for ideas for a new kitchen. My setup has worked better than I ever dreamed it would. I got the idea from a random search back when I was in the planning stage. Nancy |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Wed, Aug 29, 12 at 11:35
I store them in an upper cabinet, as I much prefer upper cabinets to lower ones, but I wonder if women prefer lower cabinets, as my SIL says (and "S" stands for sister instead of son). I have my spices more or less grouped by cuisine, and so I have sections for Japanese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, and "other". The "other" section contains spices that are used by multiple cuisines. I think it is important to keep them away from light, which is why I do not use a spice rack on the wall. Besides that, I do not have wall space for such a rack, since I have two knife racks, and my upper cabinets extend pretty low. Lars |
Nancy, that is absolutely gorgeous. I see that you've labeled your lids, and that a lot of people on that link have as well. I also noticed many people ordered their spices from Penzey's, and it seems that they come with attractive little jars the first time around, then you purchase refills, is that correct? Having pretty jars might help motivate me to stay organized, even if they're out of view (I guess I'm just shallow like that :) Lars, I guess that all depends on how high the cabinets. My husband is 6'4" and sometimes forgets that he's almost a foot taller than me. Cheryl, I know what you mean. I think I add new spices a lot quicker than I ever have to toss them. |
I keep whole, unground spices in an old-fashioned wall-hung spice rack. Any ground spices or herbs I keep in the freezer. |
I have an older kitchen now, and not much counter space. Sooo, I keep two revolving spice towers in a narrow tall cabinet. Both are loaded alphabetically, only the one in front had the "most used" spices. Moni |
Pfeffer and Salz! Oh, German always makes me smile. |
Unlike Nancy and Cathy, I just dump mine in a drawer. I tried labelling the tops and the labels peeled off. I tried lying them on their sides and they spin around so the labels are on the bottom and I can't read them. I went back to pitching them in a drawer. Lars, I'm 5'1" and I can't see them if I put them on a higher shelf, especially when they get pushed to the back. I buy the bulk of my spices and herbs from Penzey's since we have a store and I always go in for one thing and come out with a hand full so I have way too many. Ynnej, you can buy the spices in glass jars or you can buy them in bags. I tend to get bags of things I use a lot of and reuse the original jars since it is much more economical. Nancy, I've GOT to get up there and see that kitchen. I'm envious and I'm stealing ideas for when we build! Annie |
Annie, yeahbut I don't, or can't, milk a cow or make fondant princess cakes. So my nicely organized spice drawer doesn't add much value relative to other skills. |
- Posted by arkansas_girl (My Page) on Thu, Aug 30, 12 at 17:07
So where do you guys buy those cute metal containers with the clear lids like in a lot of those pictures in that link? |
- Posted by cloud_swift (My Page) on Thu, Aug 30, 12 at 19:23
Arkansas girl, at Specialty Bottle. ynnej, I usually buy in bulk from the Spice House or Penzey's and use them to fill containers from Specialty bottle. Then I keep the excess in the freezer for refills. Annie, I make labels for the top and sides of the bottles or tins with a Brother P-Touch label maker and they are durable. It's been 6 years and I haven't needed to replace any of them - they stay on and the writing doesn't smudge. But I keep my asafeotida container in a glass jar in a tupperware box in my pantry. Three layers of containment barely keep the odor in check. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.specialtybottle.com/
When I had my kitchen re-done umpty thousand years ago, I had one cupboard hung very low...only 14 inches above the counter....which is very deep. The first shelf of that cupboard is where I store my spices....and seeds and extracts and herbs and food colorings and colored sugars, ... and the extra blades for the cuisinart!! The shelf has 2 levels one shelf is about 5 inches deep and has about 8 inches clearance. On top go bottles and tall jars of stuff... Arranged by seeds on the left leaves in the middle and ground spices to the right. Very 'scientific'...but I know where stuff is! |
CS, Elery's daughter bought us a label maker for Christmas, I don't know what kind. I made a bunch of labels, stuck them to the plastic bottle lids. It took several hours. Within a couple of weeks they were all over the drawer but few were on the bottles. I gave up in disgust because I'd spent that time doing something I detest (organizing or anything else that makes me sit still for longer than 10 minutes, LOL)) and I should have known better. Cathy, you would have a heart attack if you looked into my cupboards! I've given up on organizing, I tried to organize my pantry so I could find and/or reach anything at all. I tried baskets with labels. They don't fit on my narrow and deep shelves and the whole basket from the top shelf about a foot over my head tumbles down on top of my head when I try to find something. I'm going back to just pitching everything into the pantry and slamming the door... Annie |
Annie, as I was implying--at least your skills add value! I use a P-touch labeler way too much--ask my cat. These labels have been on the jars for years with no failures. |
- Posted by cloud_swift (My Page) on Thu, Aug 30, 12 at 22:49
Annie, I'd give up in disgust too. Organizing isn't high on my list of tasks either. If you ever need to label something again, the P-Touch won't do that to you. My DH loves the thing - he even made Push and Pull labels for the pool gate latch because people push when they should pull and vice versa and it was causing problems. So far even with the weather they are staying put. |
Cathy, your organizational skills add value too, the value of time. Whereas I know where everything is and don't spend a lot of time looking for it, I do spend time putting things back, mostly things that are in front of what I want or things that fell out on top of me when I pulled out a basket of plastic wrap and bags, etc. Still, somehow, it doesn't aggravate me like the fact that the "organization" seldom works for me after I do it. Elery decided that my pantry actually needed plastic boxes and baskets, that would keep things in place. So we got baskets and sorted things out. Many items are not of a size where they fit in the baskets and the baskets aren't long and narrow enough to reach to the back of the pantry. all wraps and bags went on the top shelf and those are the things I use the most, next to the baking supplies. Baking supplies are on the bottom. So, it's very "organized" for Elery and doesn't work worth a darn for me. It seems that one person's organization is another person's aggravation, LOL. I keep insisting that my problem isn't lack of organization, it's lack of space. Actually, it's just too darned much "stuff". Well, that and cupboards that are not tall enough to actually put anything in. That's why my bread machine, food processor, coffee maker and mixer all sit on the counter, there's not a cabinet large enough to put them in but they take up precious counter space, of which I already have too little. Things like the roaster, the crockpot, stockpots, pressure cooker, canning equipment, those all have to go in the basement so that's not handy either. I've definitely learned a couple of things that I won't do when we build a house and one is to put in a whole kitchen full of cabinets with none of them having a shelf that's more than a foot from the next.

I love the look of those labels. I'll have to look into that P touch. |
Annie, what a great opportunity i.e. your new house to customize your kitchen and pantry to your specific needs. There are so many tips and products that I wish I had been privy to way back when. I know Nancy did her homework and could be a great resource for you when the time comes. |

I like the upper cabinet as it's at eye level and I keep everything currently used on the lower shelf. Middle shelf is extracts, baking powder, salt, etc. Top shelf is big jars for refilling lower shelf. On the lower shelf are the many Penzeys samples and also bigger jars for the most used spices. The look is kind of messy, but I prefer seeing and using the container they came in and also having everything in one place. Most spices are from Penzeys bags but not all. |
I just switched recently to Swivel Store Organizer that you have seen on TV ads. They are sold at Target, Walmart and lots of other places. I really got them for a great deal at Big Lots, $13. I have them in the pantry and they do work pretty good for organizing the spices. You can see what you have and get to them easily. Clare |
Here is a link that might be useful: Swivel Store Organizer
Clare, I've got that organizer also but mine's a couple years old and was sold by Lori Grenier (sp?) on QVC. I like it but it sticks a bit from weight when full of large bottles. I switched things around so the top shelf of the rack has small Penzey's containers and the larger ones are on the bottom for better weight balance. It helps but now it's hard to see the smaller containers on the top. Can't win. I rearrange spices every year - just can't get it so I'm satisfied. By the time DH learns where I moved things to I do it all over again. :( /tricia |

I had all(most) of my bottles in a basket in a bottle cabinet but it was not big enough so after seeing this I got inspired and went searching. I found a very sturdy wicker basket at TJ Maxx that fits perfectly in my space and holds ALL my spices, not just SOME! HA! I just put labels on the top made from my freezer labeling masking tape(and Sharpie) and that works just fine and does not come off. Anyone wanting those tower type spice holders should look at garage sales, I have been seeing them everywhere and for one or two dollars. Now I wish I had gotten them if for no other reason than for the nice jars! |

OOOPS, what's a "bottle cabinet" you ask...HAHA, I meant bottom cabinet...GAH! Please please add an edit feature to GW! |

Bumblebeez, is the stepped wooden shelf with the short Penzeys jars built in? Or can I buy it somewhere? I have my spices in a lot of different places. |

I store mine on lazy susans. When we had our kitchen redone one cabinet between the corner cabinet and stove vent had to be only 11 inches wide. I wondered what to do with it until I spied a small 10 inch lazy susan on my table. I tried it and it was a perfect fit so I purchased 2 more--one had 2 tiers. I put a single one on the bottom and top shelves and saw what I could put on each and if I'd have to move the shelves. Well I put all my large containers and bottles--soy, worchestershire, magi and beef and chicken soup base on the top lazy susan. Since I have bottles and tins of spices the bottles went on the bottles went on the bottom lazy susan and then I moved the shelf to just above the bottles and put the double lazy susan in. All my tins fit on that. Now I have a dedicated spice cupboard and all my spices are easy to find. If you don't have a cupboard like mine you could use one shelf of a regular cupboard for spices. They are so much easier to find when you only have to spin them around to find what you are looking for |

Cloudy, I bought it at Wal Mart and the shelves weren't quite deep enough, so I hot glued some thin wooden strips on top to accommodate the spices. It works great and holds 5 jars on each shelf. I had some thin balsa wood around and am handy with an x-acto so cutting was not a problem. However, two layers of cereal box cardboard would probably work as well. I just did this a few months ago and love it. |

Thanks to the thread Mustangs linked above, I planned for a spice drawer in my new kitchen. It's such a simple thing that I could have done it in my old kitchen had I known. The tins came from Specialty Bottle and are of high quality. I used blue tape for labels because my treasured label maker is still packed in a box from our whole house reno. (DH threw it in a box while we were packing so I have no idea which box it is in!) I have a few more tins in the drawer now for some fancy sea salts and some spice mixes I made, but they still all fit. The drawer is one of my most favorite things in the new kitchen! So easy to use! |

Middlebury River
The Middlebury River starts high in the Green Mountains in the town of Hancock, VT. The river drains 63 square miles of the watershed and almost half of that is in the Green Mountain National Forest. Nearly 90% of that of the water in GMNF is forested. Its higher elevation characteristics are cold, small streams with forest canopies, cascading freestone pools and riffles. The upper sections of the Middlebury River are considered to be of Vermont's finest brook trout fisheries. The South and Middle branches meet in the mountain town of Ripton. The three major branches and their many tributaries offer the small-water fly angler days of fishing opportunities. The river continues east from Ripton, and begins its dramatic descent through the Middlebury Gorge. The high walls and difficult access can make the gorge a dangerous place, we suggest a guide for people interested in this precarious section. The North Branch of the Middlebury River joins the main stem about halfway between Ripton and East Middlebury. When the water meets Route 125 at Sand Hill Bridge in East Middlebury, its gradient lessens, and hosts a stretch of beautiful medium sized pocket water. This is a great stretch for rainbow trout that range from 8-14 inches on average. Near the Route 7 bridge the river again changes from a freestone stream to slower, meandering waterbody. The gravel and/or sandy bottom, cutbanks, and log jams make for a good mix of Brown and Rainbow Trout. The access along this section is good. Its final lengths begin to slow further and is a mixed fishery prior to its confluence with Otter Creek. Including the Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Fallfish species, as well as trout. The Middlebury River is about 4 miles south of the Middlebury Mountaineer, and host many options for anglers. For information regarding a guided trip on the Middlebury River please go to our guiding page below.

I played my first game today at my local gaming club/pub and I think I'm hooked. I've always enjoyed an element of competitiveness to my card games, and I think A:NR will scratch that itch quite nicely, plus it turns out there's a growing competitive scene at one of my FLGS, which is always fun. Now I'm looking to get started and I need some advice.
Is it worth it to get 3 copies of the Core Set? I understand that two copies nets you 3 of most of the cards, but are the last remaining few worth another set for? Also, as each expansion comes with 3 of each new card, is it ever worth it to get more than one copy?

From our Jake Tapper, in Dayton, Ohio: ABC News asked Sen. Barack Obama if — given the recent 20-point swing among white women towards Sen. John McCain in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll — he feels the addition of Gov. Sarah Palin to the GOP ticket has attracted women specifically because of her gender, whether Obama regrets not naming a woman to his ticket as his running mate, and what he can do to woo those women voters back? First, Obama expressed skepticism about the poll. "You know I just think that the notion that people are swinging back and forth in the span of a few weeks, or a few days, this wildly generally isn't borne out," Obama said. "These are the same polls that had me 20 down last Summer that have swung wildly thought this process." Second, Obama said Palin had attracted a lot of attention and, among conservatives, excitement — but he didn't think gender played factor. "There is no doubt that Gov. Palin attracted a lot of attention this week," Obama said. "She's been on the minds of all of you, and as a consequence has been before the American people constantly throughout the week, and has brought excitement to the Republican party, there is no doubt about that." Obama said the race is far from over, and that issues would ultimately beat out personality. "I think that what we're going to have to do is see how things settle out over the next few weeks when people start examining who is actually going got deliver on the issues that people care about," Obama said. "You know, who's got an education plan that is going to improve the prospects for our children? Who's got a health care plan that is going to help a whole bunch of women out there who don't have health insurance? Who is better equipped to change the economy so that the average person who is working hard feels like they can get ahead and see their incomes rise? Ultimately those are the issues that I think are going to make the biggest difference in this race. "But there is no doubt that you know the Republicans are excited particularly the right wing of the party is excited by Senator — or Governor Palin's choice," Obama said. "I think that has less to go with gender than it has to do with her ideological predispositions, which are closely aligned to theirs."

Since the 9/11 attacks, no book has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out - until now.
Blue bell hill is also known for the regular appearance of a girl ghost who regularly hitchhikes from there and reputedly gets run down.
I killed a friend there once.
Guess #1: Looking for attention.
Guess #2. Friend was killed and you feel it was your fault because you said you didn't care to shoot billiards that night and they got in a car wreck.
Guess #3: You did what your words' import means but by accident, or DUI manslaughter - at worst - and already are out;
Guess #4: (least likely) You did what your words' import means, and you've not yet been caught. In such case, you are quite likely soon to learn that the internet isn't nearly as "confidential" as you seem to believe it is.
I used to play in Bluebell Woods when I was child, 'cause my Grandmother lived on the outskirts of Maidstone. A bit of henge action going on 'round there too...
Do you wish to clarify your most disturbing comment regarding "I killed a friend there once"? I'd surmise that many reading this would appreciate it.
Thought not.
