My mother got me three knock-out roses today, 2 Radtko and 1 Radtazz. The temperatures right now are below freezing many nights, but up in the 50s most days and 60s some days. Is it okay for me to plant these outside right now? (I've already planted the two Radtkos, so I suppose asking now is too late... but I'd like to know how much I've goofed if I have.)
The plants are in about 12 inch plastic bags lined with grocery-bag-like paper, with fine wood chips around the roots. Of the two I've planted, one had plenty of good-looking white, new roots growing out of it and the other had only a few. All three plants have 2-4 inches of leafy growth coming out of the canes. I know very little about roses, but they look healthy enough. Is it okay to plant them outside at this time of year? If not, how would I keep them inside until the right time? And what is the right time? Oklahoma has unpredictable spring weather. It is very likely we'll have an ice storm before things warm up for good and almost guarenteed we'll have a lot of nights below freezing, but probably not much below freezing. On the other hand, it's possible we'll have an early spring, it will continue warming up, and the freezing weather will be behind us very soon. I've never grown roses. For planting them, I put each in a big hole and filled with mostly leaf compost and some of the native dirt. Then I gave them a gallon and a half of water. |

I say yes but you'll probably lose any growth now on the plants. Bagged roses should be dormant if properly stored. A dormant rose will have little or no growth. Any foilage now on them will not be hardened off and may dry out and burn in the sun. Soak your unplanted roses for 24 hours in buckets or a tub. You cannot water your roses too much at first. Water deeply and often. Many newly planted bare root roses fail simply because they aren't watered enough. Understand though they shouldn't sit in water after planting. Water, as it soaks into the soil, pulls air with it. The roots need air to survive and grow well. Don't fertilize until they are growing well and have set buds. If really cold temps are forecast, place large grocery bags or 5 gallon buckets over them. Remove as soon as it gets above freezing. Store often offer roses too soon due to many of us not wanting to wait until the weather is right for planting. |
Interesting that the bags were labeled with the code, or registered, names instead of the common names. The common names for your plants are Double Knock Out (RADtko) and I think the "RADtazz" is RADrazz, which is the original Knock Out. And ditto what Karl said. Bagged and boxed roses should be dormant and not actively growing. Those fine white roots are delicate, try not to damage them, but it might happen. You'll probably lose the top growth, more should come. |
Okay, thanks. The packaging also said Double Knock Out, but I thought the variety name was more important, sort of like if I get a packet that says "Radish", the name under it in small type ("Cherry Belle") tells me what kind of radish and whether I want to buy it. :) And you're right, it's Radrazz - I made a typo with the name. They're all red. I've got some five gallon buckets begging for a use, so I think I'll plant the last one tomorrow and then plan to cover them if it freezes. The last one is soaking, but I haven't submerged the roots. I just put maybe a couple cups of water into the plastic sleeve and then put it in a bucket in case it leaked. Wouldn't submerging it for 12 hours drown it? Thanks for your help! |
No, submerging the roots won't drown them. Oxygen passes through water, so as long as the water is clean, the plants will be OK. Many of us soak them for a week or more, and many of us soak the entire plant. Good luck! |

A certain amount of water is absorbed by the plant when soaked. Oft time this is enough to sustain the bush until it begins to grow feeder roots but a daily deep soaking after planting is necessary to keep the plant well hydrated. Poking holes in the bag and immersing the bag and bush in a bucket of water or removing the plant from the bag and immersing it for 24 hours is soaking. A couple of cups of water in the bag is not soaking. Think of yourself being wrapped in a plastic bag and stored for months. You'd be rather thirsty ? |
It's being soaked in the ground now. :) Hopefully that will be okay. Apparently the plant wasn't happy about it though because it stabbed the tar out of my right thumb as I was planting it. I pulled the thorn out and it bled a lot, but since then (about 10 hours ago) my thumb has been really sore and a little swollen, like I'm having a reaction to it. These things aren't poisonous, are they? I've heard people eat roses sometimes. But gosh, my thumb hurts! And it's been all day. I'm not a weenie. I'm just perplexed about why this hasn't gone away. A little thorn-prick should swell up and still hurt half a day later. I've been stabbed by blackberry bushes scores or hundreds of times and I just go on my way without a worry or a complication. This is different. |

There is such a thing as rose thorn disease, caused by a fungus which grows on rose thorns - see the link below. Getting the thorn out is a key factor, but I'd keep an eye on that thumb. About your new transplant: Don't soak the ground too much. Oxygen does diffuse rapidly into water in an open bucket, as Diane said, but oxygen diffuses extremely slowly into water- saturated soil. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rose Thorn Disease
After applying hot compresses last night, I trimmed off the top layer of skin and made sure there wasn't any part of the thorn left in (there wasn't). Then I put a bandage on it with xyloderm cream (lidocaine, hydrocortizone, antifungals, etc.). It's still tender today, but a lot better. Thanks for the link! |

IME, rose thorn wounds hurt like the dickens whether they get infected or not. I'd rather be bitten by a dog (but not a cat, if you want the full hierarchy). Hope yours feels better soon. -Greta |
It's now about 36 hours since I got stabbed and my thumb still hurts up near the nail, under the nail. That's just bizarre. This rose stick has hurt more than getting bit by a snake last summer. |
- Posted by sunnyside1 z6/SW Mo. (My Page) on Sun, Feb 22, 09 at 18:02
Gamebird, I'm sorry that happened to you! If it's not any better, you probably should be seen by a medic. You could also add epsom salts to a bowl of very hot water and soak your hand twice a day. That should take the soreness out. But do be seen if it doesn't get any better. Sunny |
Make sure your Tetanus shots are up to date. Rose thorns give the type of puncture wound that can lead to Tetanus. Even if you don't see a doctor for the wound itself, make sure you are up to snuff on this. |

I like the features
this is a very good shoe, well made and very comfortable. I think this shoe will last me a long time.
June 3, 2014
Great products so comfortable can't say enough about them and your customer service staff
This is my second pair of these shoes. They are so comfortable you can take them out of the box and they are immediately very comfortable . They are like they were made just for you! Can't say enough about them . I wish they came in pink or yellow then I'd have to buy more. Your customer service staff are just wonderful and so helpfull Love Clark shoes no matter what kind
May 21, 2014
Not what I expected
The left shoe wasn't sewn as carefully as the right and it made the shoe feel a little odd. And while I liked the look of the shoes on the page, in reality they weren't very attractive. It might have been the color or all the decorative stitching, but back they went.
I own 3 pairs of Clarks shoes and love them all, so I'll keep trying my luck.
May 7, 2014
Great casual shoe
I love this shoe, this is my second pair of them. They are super cute on and very comfortable. I wear them with jeans for a casual look.
March 23, 2014
Very Comfy
I specifically wanted navy in a comfortable shoe and I found it where I have often found the shoes I'm looking for - Clarks.
I really love this shoe and like its style and comfort.
May 3, 2014
Inside too hard
Not constructed as well as I thought. they were good for a couple of wears and now my toe is sliding to the front on one foot so I cannot wear them anymore. A waste of money and second pair that I have bought with a similar style that I cannot wear.
April 30, 2014
Great light weight shoe!
I was looking for a light weight gym shoe for hiking on vacation.
These shoes are very light weight and very comfortable!
April 28, 2014
You can't beat Clark's Privo's
I was looking for the Clark's Haley Falcon style when I found the new Haley Cortland style. It's another wonderful style from Clark's, very comfortable. Just note this style runs a half size smaller than most other Clark's Privo style, but the width was normal for my foot, which typically takes a medium width.
April 25, 2014
perfect fit, very comfortable
I love these shoes. several years ago I got a similar pair that were white with green laces and I fell in love with them. Last year I got a gold pair. this year I was fortunate enough to get these blue ones and a black pair with coral accents on sale. I am VERY HARD to fit. My feet are very wide. These are my "go to " everyday shoes. Normally if I was going to be doing a lot of walking I would wear shoes made for that...the other day at the spur of the moment I went to Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland...lots of walking. My blue shoes stood up to the test and were quite comfortable. I will continue to buy any shoe similar in style as it keeps changing...
April 23, 2014
Great touring shoe!
I purchased these shoes to wear while we are traveling - and walking a lot! They are very light weight, easy to pack yet give your foot nice support. Loved that they came in half sizes! They feel just a smidge short but I know the next half size up would have been too big. Easy to get on and comfy - love them!
April 23, 2014
Excellent "go to" shoe for everyday
These shoes are cute and were comfortable from the first time I put them on my feet. they run true to size and are great for everyday activities. What more could you want?
April 23, 2014
Excellent comfortable shoe.
This shoe is very comfortable. Has good traction on the sole and appears that it will last a long time. Glad I bought a pair!
March 7, 2014
Happy Happy Happy
I was very satisfy with this purchase. I will get me a different color next!! Very happy with the comfort & support it provides my bad ankles.
April 9, 2014
Nice comfortable shoe. Toes have freedom to move and room for socks.
Comfortable and light weight with room in the toe box. Wish alternate colors were available.
January 28, 2014
Great comfortable walking shoe
I've loved Clarks for a long time. The most comfortable shoes I've ever owned so when I saw these sneakers I knew I had to try them out. Love, Love, LOVE this shoe. I walked 4 1/2 miles in these shoes yesterday and not once did I feel any discomfort. Plus, they look really good too!

Several years ago my younger brother went to a Whitesnake / Dokken / Scorpions concert with his best buddy. They were fairly young at the time, back when the promise of getting drunk at a rock show was worth looking forward to, not something that happened incidentally every weekend.
Their quest for inebriation took a slight detour in the beer line before the show when two guys, dressed in more leather than a cow, began arguing over which was the better band: Whitesnake or Scorpions.
I wasn't there, but the way the story was told to me, I believe events unfolded something like this. Note: all words are to be read with slurred speech.
Whitesnake Fan: "Whitesnake are the best!"
Scorpions Fan: "No. Scorpions are better!"
WF: "No. Whitesnake are better."
SF: "Scorpions!"
WF: "Wnitesnake!"
Shoving ensues, then harsher pushing. Finally, Scorpions Fan has had enough and he cocks his right arm back to take a swing. He punches the air with a force heretofore unseen, missing his target by at least a foot. He loses his footing from the weight of the punch, spins in the air and falls down on his back. Seconds later, due to the combination of beer and adrenaline, he vomits all over himself repeatedly.
I imagine that this confrontation in a suburb of Chicago went down similarly, except possibly with less alcohol involved.
Boguslaw "Bob" Czapla of Elmwood Park was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for blinding a man after a debate at a toddler's birthday party in northwest suburban Huntley exploded into violence.
Four men fought over which baseball team is better—the Cubs or the White Sox.
Czapla and two other Cubs fans beat Sox fan Robert Steele to the ground and continued kicking him in the head. Steele lost his right eye and suffered a broken nose and fractured orbital bone.
Sounds as though the Cubs finally won something. Alright!

Rolls-Royce announces new M250 upgrade kit for Bell 407 and MD600 helicopters
Sunday, 12 February 2012
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, will deliver a new Value Improvement Program (VIP) upgrade kit for M250 engines, which power Bell 407 and MD600 helicopters. The upgrade will offer increased power in "hot and high" operations and reduced fuel burn.
During rigorous engine tests, the VIP upgrade kit reduced fuel burn by 2 percent while increasing hot/high engine performance by 5 percent – with no increase in engine weight. The VIP upgrade received certification in late 2011 and will be available to operators in the 1st Quarter of this year.
Greg Fedele, Rolls-Royce, Senior Vice President, Helicopters, said: "Rolls-Royce leads the way in technology in the light helicopter turbo-shaft industry, and this M250 upgrade is yet another great example. The M250 engine, with reliability gained over 210 Million flight hours, has been continually upgraded and remains the benchmark for the light helicopter industry."
The upgrade uses advanced technology developed for the Rolls-Royce RR300 and RR500 engines, which include modifications to the engine impeller and diffuser, as well as optimization of the first-stage turbine nozzle. The VIP upgrade kit is simple, low-cost and easily retrofitted at any Rolls-Royce authorized FIRST Network location.
The VIP development program was executed on time, meeting a commitment to customers. Several "lead the fleet" operators have already been identified to install the VIP upgrade to begin reaping fuel and power benefits.
- Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 500 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 4,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Annual underlying revenues for Rolls-Royce were £10.8 billion in 2010, of which more than half came from the provision of services. The firm and announced order book stood at £61.4 billion at 30 June 2011, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 39,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in over 50 countries. Over 11,000 of these employees are engineers.
- In 2010, Rolls-Royce invested £923 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental performance of its products, in particular reducing emissions.
- Rolls-Royce supports a global network of 28 University Technology Centres, which connect the company's engineers with the forefront of scientific research.
- The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment and to further developing employee skills.

On Friday, the Gary/Chicago International Airport met during a special meeting to address the airport budget for 2014. During the meeting a discussion arose about the need of the board to appoint an Interim Airport Director. Board chair Tom Collins did not believe the matter could be addressed in the absence of an agenda outlining that issue. In an effort to ensure that there was leadership at the airport, Board member Alesia Pritchett moved to appoint City of Gary Chief of Staff BR Lane as Interim Director of the airport. The motion failed for the lack of a majority. Board members who voted against the motion were concerned that the issue was not properly on the agenda and wanted to ensure that such an important decision was made to the letter of the law.
"I support BR Lane as the Interim Airport Director because of her vast experience in the areas of compliance, negotiation, real estate and because of her direct involvement with the Gary /Chicago International Airport. Since assuming the role of Chief of Staff in January 2012, Lane has played a critical role in the advancement of airport initiatives. She has worked closely with the RDA, the Airport board and staff, state and federal officials, the Gary/Chicago compact and others to address regulatory concerns, budgetary matters and the completion of the runway. She is also keenly aware of the work of the P3 ad hoc committee to attract a private partner to invest in one of Gary's greatest assets.It is not unusual for a board with all new members to have procedural glitches in the early stages. The vote today was more indicative of board miscommunication and not a referendum on BR Lane's qualifications or ability to serve at the Gary/Chicago International Airport. As the board moves forward, I have every confidence that they will serve the best interests of the city and citizens of Gary. All of the board members and I agree that strong leadership is important to achieve the objectives, which include the completion of the expansion and barrier removal and the completion of the P3 process." – Karen Freeman-Wilson, Mayor

Movie News After Dark: Mad Men, Jason Statham, Avengers Assembling, Ron Swanson, Game of Thrones and Spike Lee's Dolly Love
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? Usually it's just a nightly column dedicated to the best news and links from around the movie blogosphere. Tonight it comes with a disclaimer: Its author has just returned from a bender of Pixar films and is in the midst of a Marvel films marathon as he writes this. This sort of situation may cause over-zealous Avengers coverage, animated goofiness and spontaneous, uncontrollable bouts of crying — that is, if the score from UP comes on. Be prepared. We begin tonight with an awesome image of Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Bruce Lee in 1978 courtesy of the Tumblr blog of film critic Shawn Levy. Beyond being an exceptionally nice guy, Levy also has a taste for the moving pictures and the icons of said medium. This shot, in my opinion, is certified awesome.

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 Sandy!
Facts about Sandy
- Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Sandy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT SANDY IS MIXED WITH. Perhaps some type of pit bull type dog, Bulldog, Catahoula, who knows. She is about 7 months old, so we have no idea how big she'll end up. She is very sweet and no doubt, everyone that meets her just melts. She has the sweetest disposition and will wiggle right up to everyone she meets and then flop over for them. She is so cuddly and just melts into your arms when you show her any affection. She likes to run in the back yard and play with the other dogs in her foster home too. She's already started basic obedience training and our MABB trainer could not believe how well she did, even after her first class! She was happily following her foster mom around and coming when called. She is housebroken, spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Please note that the first step in our process is to submit the application. From there, we'll call you to discuss and will set up a meeting. Simply go to www.midatlanticbullybuddies.org and click "want to adopt" to submit. Her adoption fee is $175

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sandy, a Reisterstown Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Reisterstown, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier puppy from a breeder in Reisterstown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Reisterstown 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 Reisterstown 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 Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Reisterstown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Planned job cuts by Illinois employers fall in October
BY FRANCINE KNOWLES Business email@example.com November 1, 2012 11:24AM
Updated: December 3, 2012 6:35AM
Planned job cut announcements by Illinois-based employers dropped 46 percent in October from September, according to the latest report from Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas that showed such announcements rose nationally.
Illinois-based employers announced plans to cut 1,191 jobs last month, down from 2,191 in September and down 49 percent from 2,326 in October 2011.
The biggest cuts announced last month were by health care products company Abbott Laboratories, which announced 550 planned cuts; BRP US Inc., a consumer products company that announced 310 cuts; and Book Wholesalers Inc., which announced 110 cuts.
Nationally, job cut announcements surged 41 percent to 47,724, the highest level since May. But layoff announcements for the year are still down 17 percent from the same period in 2011.
In Illinois, job cut announcements are up 6.5 percent for the first ten months of the year, compared to the same period a year earlier.
Last month, a big part of the cuts by U.S. employers took place in Europe, where Ford announced it was closing a plant in Belgium that will hit 9,500 workers and said it would layoff 1,400 workers in the United Kingdom.
"While the Ford job cuts are not impacting American workers, they indicate just how vulnerable companies in the U.S. are to the situation in Europe," John Challenger, chief executive officer of the firm, said in a statement.
An increase in jobs cuts nationally could be in store for the remainder of the year.
"The final three months of the year tend to see heavier downsizing activity as companies make year-end adjustments to meet earnings goals and to prepare for the new year," Challenger noted.

A few of us were discussing tipping policies on Twitter. I think that sometimes the best way to figure out what is appropriate is to ask people in various jobs what they think is best/expected. There are a lot of questions out there and I know that I want to do what is appropriate, but I also don't want to tip every single person I come across in life 20% for everything.
Here's a few of my policies:
Take-out: I used to be an expediter at a thai restaurant that got a lot of take out orders. I never expected tips, but on the rare occasion I got them, I appreciated them. I usually tip a few bucks, and as much as 10% depending on the order, but certainly not more than that.
Delivery: gets the standard 20%
Coffee: If you hand me a cup for me to fill, I don't tip (drip coffee). If I order a fancy drink I tip by either rounding up to the nearest dollar or giving a dollar, depending on the difficulty of the drink. Some places, like Starbucks, don't provide tip lines. I've always assumed that they have a policy against tipping, but I don't know that.
Sonic carhops: Do you tip? They are servers in a technical sense. My policy has always been to tip them if they are on roller skates because BAD ASS but maybe I'm a jerk. If I recall correctly, sonic receipts actually have a place for tip.
Are you in a non-traditional tip industry (not restaurant service)? What do you think is appropriate?
Do you have a tip question? Ask it here.
ETA: Regarding tipping at a hotel, one former hotel cleaning person has weighed in:
this former hotel housekeeper would say each night, if she was feeling fair and benevolent towards her fellow housekeeper. but I also got 500 in local money (that was a pretty big amount) under a pillow on a floor I usually didn't do and of course I kept it to myself.
our hotel didn't pool tips.
we did leave little cards behind with our name on them tho when we had cleaned the room so I'm liking Fleur de Livres' approach [which is to keep the card till the end so you know who to give the $ to]
And from a former Starbucks barista:
When I worked at sbux back in the day (in another life, sigh) I never really expected them because I figured it was my actual job to make coffee, and once they got rid of the manual machines for the ones where you just push the button, it took 90% of the work/skill out of it. But I'm never one to turn down money and I was always excited when our tips were high, so I tip. If my expendable income is high enough to buy $5 coffee, it's high enough to kick in a little for the hourly employee. (Although sbux baristas get a pretty sweet deal nowadays.)
and if you are wondering how the tips at starbucks are split:
They get emptied into sealed bags and put in the safe, until the end of the week when you add it all up and parcel it out based on number of hours worked. It's as fair as it can be considering that some shifts are a lot more lucrative/demanding than others.
I'd like to add that they don't give you a line to tip on the receipt, so I always feel like you can't tip them in a drive through. Unsure.

TORONTO — Ontario's public elementary and secondary school teachers are about to get spanked with Bill 115.
Education Minister Laurel Broten said Thursday she will impose contracts on members of the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF) using her powers under the Putting Students First Act.
Broten also announced she will repeal Bill 115, which she acknowledged has become a "lightning rod" for teachers, after it is used to set contracts. She hopes this will encourage teachers to resume extracurricular activities.
NDP MPP Cheri DiNovo said the government knows Bill 115 won't withstand the unions' constitutional challenge and is now offering to withdraw it after it's been used.
"This is politics at its worse," DiNovo said.
Swift reaction on social media suggested the repeal of Bill 115 won't appease many teachers.
The Liberal government first began negotiating with the province's school teachers and support workers in February, and reached deals with Catholic school teachers and CUPE Ontario.
When teacher contracts with ETFO and OSSTF reached an Aug. 31 deadline — which would have seen the agreements roll over automatically — Broten brought in Bill 115, which gave the unions until Dec. 31 to reach deals that followed the financial framework of the negotiated settlement with the Ontario English
Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA).
That OECTA deal requires teachers to accept a two-year pay freeze, a partially frozen salary grid, three unpaid PD days and the end of a perk that allowed them to bank some unused sick days and cash them out when they retire.
ETFO and OSSTF have called Bill 115 an affront to their constitutional collective bargaining rights.
ETFO announced on its website Thursday that it will hold one-day walkouts in protest.

Hi, We are planning to build a new master bedroom with attached bathroom. 10' 8" x 8' seems to be the most we can get for the bathroom. (8' may become 7' 10" as everything becomes more clear). Toilet position is fixed due to existing waste pipe. We want to have jetted tub (sanitub, possibly model 440, any owners of 440?). shower stall, double vanity. We would also like to add a small closet. I am attaching the layout I have come up with. I have left 2" around the tub. The shower area is 48" x 34". The vanity is 62"x24". I am thinking a 1.5 ft wide full length cabinet either next to the tub on the outside wall or between the toilet and the vanity. Also, thinking of putting in a pocket door that will slide into the vanity side. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Since I don't know how to upload two pictures in one post, second post is for uploading my 3d sketchup image of the bathroom |
And this is an obvious another option, but in this one, I can't see a good placement for the cabinet .. |
I don't think there is room for a cabinet between the toilet and the tub. That is how I interpreted your idea. In between the toilet and the vanity might work. It all depends on the dimensions. I think there is a minimum of 18" toilet centerline to wall or obstruction that is recommended. If you put the "tower" between the toilet and the vanity will it be in the way of the vanity or be too close to the toilet? I am linking my favorite "go to" site, that I have saved for these layout questions. When you go to this site check out the other articles, there are a lot posted. Take a look. |
Here is a link that might be useful: illustrated Rules of Good Bathroom Design
Why are you wanting a small closet? Is it for linens? My suggestion would be to put up a half wall next to the toilet to give some privacy and seperation. I would then put a L-shaped vanity from that half wall to the opposite wall and then over to the door. You could put a angle cabinet in the corner or just leave it squared off, but I would then add a upper corner cabinet that is inset from the edge and extends up to about a foot short of the ceiling. You wouldn't have a closet, but between all the cabinets, you would have a ton of storage space. |
- Posted by pricklypearcactus (My Page) on Thu, Mar 21, 13 at 16:58
In your first rendering, what is the size of the pinch point between the tub and the vanity? It looks really tight to me. I wouldn't like having to navigate through the bathroom like that to get to the toilet. What about putting the tub on the same side as the toilet (so the long part is along the left wall in your renderings). Then put the shower in the upper right corner, the longer part along the top wall. And then run the vanity along the right wall next to the shower. |
I think perhaps that it may be better to leave out the tub and put in a large neoangle (48 X 48) in the lower left hand corner and do a really nice two sink vanity with linen closet on the right wall. A lot of people are forgoing tubs for larger showers. |
Thanks for all the responses! Enduring, thanks for the link. I had seen that link from one of your earlier posts and gone through it. (and Now I have bookmarked it). Code seems to be 15" (18" recommended) from center-line of toilet to either side. (I have 16" on one side and 18" on other. Its more than our current full bathroom and we haven't had any problem with it). There is 2ft space in front of the toilet. (21" required). Yeah the tower doesn't seem to work in either place. mhetzel, We were hoping to have a clothes hamper in the bottom part of the tower, appliance storage and charging in the middle and extra bathroom supplies in the top. appliance charging and storage and extra bathroom supplies are more important than clothes hamper. We had not thought of L shaped vanity. So thanks for that idea. I haven't yet found any photos of such setup. If anyone has some, can you please point me to those?. This may provide a good solution, we just don't know how it will look and how it will work out for two people bumping into each other on sides. I will try to sketch L shaped vanity over the weekend and post it when ready .. prickly pear cactus: The pinch point is 2' 3". Our current full bath has 2 ft of clearance between the vanity and the tub and that seems OK for us. With L shaped vanity, the length of the pinch point will be further reduced. Long part of the tub is 72", so it wont fit on the left wall without moving the toilet. karenseb: That would be a nice spacious bathroom, but tub seems to be an absolute requirement. Also the bathroom is going to have a sloping roof going from 8 ft to 10 ft and we plan to add a skylight (or solar tube) |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Fri, Mar 22, 13 at 15:20
The only way I can come up with for everything to fit is to steal 12 inches on one side of the door to recess the tub. Without the tub on one of the short walls it's difficult. With the tub on a short wall it frees up enough space in front of the toilet for a double vanity and the shower can go in the other corner. |
I saw anothe thread here that mentioned a Wave tub that is designed for small spaces. There was also discussion of combining that with a shower and one with a concealed shower curtain (think that was on Houzz. A Japanese soaking style tub also helps with small spaces. Might be worth looking into lesser known options. |

Ask Mindy Kaling Your Questions (And Vote Too!)
Hi, Bookies:
Happy to tell you that Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? author Mindy Kaling is going to answer some questions from us. I'm going to kick things off by asking these:
• What's your favorite Kelly Kapoor line, and did you write it?
• It's probably not uncommon to find a producer who writes or a writer who produces, but a producer who writes and acts on a show? That's got to be rare. So is The Office the only place you'll find that?
• What TV shows do you watch for fun?
(Also, this is not a question, but I'm totally putting in my bid to call Mindy's dream cat pedicure parlor Claws and Effect.)
Ask your questions down in the comments area by 10 a.m. ET this Monday, January 30—which is right around the time that we'll be announcing the winner of the February book poll. If you haven't voted yet, pick your favorite by 11:59 p.m. ET on January 29. Here are your choices again:
Rules of Civility, by Amor Towles
November's near winner chronicling the sophisticated swells of Manhattan circa 1938, and the young Wall Street secretary who finds herself running with their crowd, returns.
The House of Mirth, by Edith Wharton
A heartbreakingly brilliant commentary on the cruelties of "polite" 1890s New York society from the woman who, quite literally, wrote the book on the insular, moneyed world she was born into.
The Line of Beauty, by Alan Hollinghurst
Thatcher-era England is the setting for Hollinghurst's critically acclaimed novel, which juxtaposes straights and gays, the powerful and the weak, high society and the demimonde, beauty and ugliness.
Snobs, by Julian Fellowes
More social scheming across the pond, this courtesy of the man behind Gosford Park and the blockbuster Downton Abbey. In this comedy of manners, Fellowes wickedly observes the British upper class—and the socially ambitious who wish for nothing more than to join their ranks.

aww cindy who from the grinch stole christmas....
Telling someone to die is not okay. What is your problem? No one should be told to die by anyone, on or off the internet. That's just wrong.
what's wrong with you people? she can do whatever she wants as long as she doesn't hurt anyone. stfu and just let her be.
I love her. She needs to have sex with me.
What happened to cute little Cindy Lou Who???? Now she looks like some psychotic emo chick who only wants to scare little kids!!
gosh, people are just getting too weird...
She is looking like a raccoon. She used to be so gorgeous.. Wtf is happening.
what happened to her she looked so sweet in the grinch.
Underneath all that raccoon make up she is a pretty girl. Hollywood makes ya or breaks ya.
She does look like a ray of sunshine!
Well anyone who thinks she can't sing probably think that Britney Spears can sing. Taylor is a really good singer, live and on the actual tracks. Barely any auto-tuning imo. I was really very shocked if I'm honest, thought she was going to be a complete disaster like pretty much all actors who want to "sing" these days. Her voice is amazing and I have watched her perform live. BUT given all I've said.... ...she really does need to tone down the "I'm a rebel against all things pop and I will wear all things black all the time" that's the only thing that puts me off sometimes.
taylor, be careful not to overwhelm us with your joy...
Oh shut up haters. She is gore-jizz<3
She's so painful to look at! Would it kill her to smile once in awhile??? I think she'd look stunning without all that makeup plastered on her face she was so adorable when she was little now she looks like some sort of dead corps
She was little Cindy Loo-hoo or something like that in the Grinch That Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey
My eyes water at the sight of that much makeup. Why? Because I can imagine how painful it was to apply that much eyeliner and eyeshadow. It gets in your eyes!
Soo why is she famous?
She looks dead. -pokes with stick-
I feel like she's gonna possess my soul.
hey came back from dead!
Good lord! What does she look like? I mean we all go through a wierd stage in high school....but thats a bit much!
she is not a emo,not a rocker...SHE IS DYNG LOL
hes only joking and associating her with marilyn manson..."dumbass!"
For all you know nothings out there. She auditioned for the part of Hannah Montana, but lost out to the beautiful and talented Miley Cyrus. Thank God for that!!!
Hey Stupidass, you might want to do a Web search to find out who her parents are. IDIOT!!!
She's talented: she can sing and is a good actress ( and if you don't agree, then honestly, you're just jealous ). I do agree with the fact that she looks like a devil. But cut her some slack, she's 17, not 40. I'm pretty sure everyone was somewhat strange in their puberties ( and yes, she has a long puberty ). Her CD is good, I heard her sing live and she's a damn good singer. And she's in Gossip Girl, which means that there is actually a chance that she can act. About her rude character, she just needs to get over herself and come back to the ground. Simple as that. Just the same for you guys, get over yourself. If she wants to dress like that, who cares? She's expressing herself and I'm pretty sure one day she'll wear somewhat normal clothes. It's not like she's your daughter, and if she would. I would be proud that she's so talented and not worry about her looks.
No people can express their self but this is ridiculous
She looks like the corpse of a raped teenager. Scary stuff.But at least she is expressing herself?
OMG!! Come on, give us a break, your Dad was NASTY enough for the both of u!!!! GROSS!!
Your guys are so rude and ignorant. Yes, she is dressing way too extreme, but to call her names, she is still a minor, and it is never nice to be rude anyways. And saying she is talentless is reletive. I have heard her sing live, and she has an amazing voice.
You guy's are so crazy!!!! Without her Gossip Girl would be NOTHING!!! I do agree on the fact that she look's like she is dead but if she likes to look like that then just let her be she's not perfect nobody is
Yeah but she's dead n HOTTTTT!!!!!
i just rlly dont ike her and her looks like she one of the ugliest girls i have ever seennn!!!!!!!!!!
what is going on with this girl?! she used to be hella pretty in gossip girl and even though she rocked the whole "rocker" look it was still edgy but she stilled looked natural. Now, her eyes look sunken in like a damn raccoon and she looks dead in all the pictures i see her in? what is up with her? what is she trying to do?
whats her name?
who is she?
looks like a devil
Oh isnt she just a bundle of joy! Go die Taylor, no one likes you. AHAHAHAHHA!!! You're so right!
She is trying waay to hard
Geez, I agree with everybody else here. Why doesn't she just go away already? She's nothing but a talentless whore!
ky above me is right. why is she still trying to be more and more famous? it doesnt look like shes having any fun. she looks like shes already dead, but i dont want her to die, i think she just should live her life while having a great husband and some kids (not that i should want to be her daugther, i dont think shes a fun mom)
Oh isnt she just a bundle of joy! Go die Taylor, no one likes you.

Often I have read that potatoes that have been cooked and then frozen do not hold up well. Mealy? Why is this? Why do the potatoes in those frozen packages hold up so well? ie. Skillet Sensations, Create a Meal, etc...Those packages are fully cooked meals just needing to be warmed.
Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Holly in WI |

You can partially cook potatoes and they turn out better than fully-cooked ones. I guess it would be similar to blanching, but you do it in the deep-fryer instead. Just cut as you normally would for french fries and just cook for a couple of minutes, cool and then flash-freeze and bag them up. You can also blanch (with boiling water) grated potatoes and use them for hash browns. And you can also freeze mashed potatoes. They will kind of separate upon reheating, but stirring really well helps return them to the correct texture. That's all I have experience with. Lisa |

Holly, I always have mashed potatoes in the freezer. I usually either freeze them as twice baked potatoes or make mashed potato patties that I can pull out and quickly brown in a little butter. In both cases, I put these on a cookie sheet, uncovered, for several hours in the freezer until frozen and then pack them in freezer bags for storage. |

Found this info. on the Internet on several sites: Freezing Potatoes Date: May 1989 (Revised April 1995) Source: NDSU Extension Service Nutrition Specialists You can make frozen French fried potatoes at home. The mealy type potato is best. Use mature potatoes you have stored for at least 30 days. Potatoes with a higher sugar content will brown excessively and will be less attractive. For hashed browned potatoes, prepare as you would to serve. Brown only to the brown-and-serve stage, cool and package for freezing. Store frozen for one to 2 months. When you want to use them, finish cooking and browning as for regular preparation. Prepare mashed potatoes as for serving. Cool, then pack in airtight containers and freeze. Slice when ready to use and fry without thawing. You can also make mashed potatoes into mounds. Freeze on a tray and then package. Store for one month. To use, take out as many mounds as you need to fry or put on top of a casserole. They can also be reheated in the microwave. To stuff baked potatoes, remove the cooked potato from the skin, mash it and add seasonings. Return to the skin, piling lightly. Wrap each potato in airtight packaging and freeze. When ready to use, remove wrap and put directly into a 425 oven. Bake for 30 minutes. After 15 to 20 minutes in the oven, top each potato with grated cheese. FREEZING POTATOES: The best potatoes for freezing are those that have been Raw potatoes or potatoes in combination dishes such as Partially Cooking is the Trick: Make and partially cook fries, homefries, and whatever other style first. Then freeze in portions (big or small - size doesn't matter). The real "trick" to freezing potatoes is cooking or partially cooking them first. Raw or new potatoes just don't freeze well. I think it has something to do with their water content -they turn mushy! |

Years back, I was gettin' chummy with one of the HM castmembers. Her name was Athena (it was the roses I was carrying around for Jasmine. She ultimately scored one off me). Last I heard, she retired last year, and I hope she's doing well wherever she may be now.
Get on track, alright, focus kid--she shared with me an entire printed collection of pages detailing the back stories; both the 'official' ones and the ones castmembers themselves had come up with on just about every spook in the place, and one of the sordid tales was of the "ring" (I had never noticed nor heard about it before that day, and I needed her to point out the spot to me when she got a break). According to this printout, Gracie lobbed it from the attic, yadda yadda, and the hearse permanently made it part of the pavement when it rolled over the band.

I hope you like the dress I'm wearing in today's "What Are We Wearing Today" because you're going to see an awful lot more of it. That's because, as of today, I'm trying out the Uniform Project. What is the Uniform Project? Started by Sheena Matheiken in 2009, the U.P. is meant to get consumers to reconsider how much they really need and to get creative with what they already have. Sheena wore the same little black dress (she washed it frequently, duh) for 365 days, to show people that they could make do with less. The challenge was to make it look different every day. As she styled herself through the project, she also raised funds for the Akanksha Foundation, a non-profit organization providing education to underprivileged children living in Indian slums. The message was: with sustainability and responsibility, we can have fun with fashion and give back to our communities. Keep reading »

(BCN) PG&E is implementing heightened security measures at its main substations in California since snipers fired rifle bullets and knocked out 17 transformers at a company facility near San Jose last year, a spokesman said.
Brian Swanson, spokesman for San Francisco-based PG&E, said the utility company's plan is to spend $86 million over the next three years on new physical security features at the largest of its more than 900 substations.
The utility will institute stronger measures such as opaque fencing to its "top priority" substations after saboteurs shot up oil tanks at the 500,000-volt Metcalf substation last April 16, Swanson said.
"We are building fences to effectively block the vision others have of (each) substation," Swanson said.
The new fences, to replace old chain-link barriers, are to be installed in the next few months at PG&E's bigger substations, starting with Metcalf in unincorporated Santa Clara County, Swanson said.
PG&E several months ago put in place new security precautions at its big substations, such as round-the-clock security guards. Local law enforcement agencies have increased patrols at the substations at PG&E's request, Swanson said.
The company enhanced lighting around the substations, put in new surveillance cameras with "more advanced technology" and removed excess vegetation around them to "eliminate potential hiding places" for saboteurs, Swanson said.
Other security measures have been instituted "that we can't reveal," he said.
He declined to disclose the number and locations of the other major PG&E substations where the company has stepped up security since the shooting at Metcalf.
Swanson said that some media reports have incorrectly assumed that PG&E's security plans came in response to a Feb. 4 article in the Wall Street Journal that cited former Federal Energy Regulatory Commission chairman Jon Wellinghoff's opinion that terrorists had attacked the Metcalf substation.
"It's important to note that we have been working very aggressively immediately following the incident that occurred," Swanson said. "This is not like this started this past couple of weeks."
Peter Lee, a spokesman for the FBI in San Francisco, said the investigation into the Metcalf shooting is ongoing but that the agency "does not believe it involves terrorism as far as we can see right now."
At 1:45 a.m. on April 16, the sheriff's office was called about shots fired at PG&E's substation in the 100 block of Metcalf Road between Monterey Highway and U.S. Highway 101 south of San Jose.
One or more shooters fired rifle bullets that pierced tanks containing oil used to power machines that cool the transformers and 52,000 gallons of oil leaked out, Swanson said.
A fence alarm at the facility alerted PG&E's corporate security at 1:37 a.m. that morning and the utility's main control center in Vacaville received word at 1:45 a.m., shut the substation down by remote control and rerouted power from transformers at other stations.
The attack put 17 of the 23 power transformers at Metcalf out of commission but thanks to redundant systems that rerouted electrical power to the area "no one last power," according to Swanson.
At about 1:30 a.m. that morning, underground fiber optic cables, owned by the telecom firm AT&T and protected by manhole covers, were severed in two locations along Monterey Highway about a half-mile from the Metcalf facility, according to AT&T officials.
PG&E has consulted with various federal and local agencies about its security policies and received recommendations on how to improve them, Swanson said.

Vaslav Nijinsky - Russian Legend and Mad Man of Dance
Vaslav Nijinsky (March 12, 1889 - April 8, 1950) was a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer of Polish descent. Nijinsky was one of the most gifted male dancers in history. His ability to perform seemingly gravity-defying leaps was legendary. Marie Rambert said "I don't know how far from the ground it was, but I know it was near the stars."Nijinsky was born in Kiev,Ukraine, son of Polish dancers Tomasz Niżyński and Eleonora Bereda. In 1900, he joined the Imperial-School-of-Ballet and Nicholas Legat. At only 18 years old he was given a string of leads.
In 1910, a fellow Imperial Ballet dancer, Mathilde Kschessinskaya, selected Nijinsky to dance in a revival of Marius Petipa's Le Talisman, during which Nijinsky created a sensation in the role of the Wind God Vayou Sergei Diaghilev, a celebrated and highly innovative producer of ballet and opera as well as art exhibitions, who concentrated on promoting Russian visual and musical art particularly in Paris. In 1909, Diaghilev took his dance company, the Ballets Russes, to Paris, with Nijinsky and Anna Pavlovaas the leads. The show waa huge success.Nijinsky's talent showed in Fokine's pieces such as Le Pavillon d'Armide, Cleopatra and The Feast
His partnership with Tamara Karsavina, also of the Mariinsky Theatre, was legendary, and they have been called the "most exemplary artists of the time". Nijinsky went back to the Mariinsky Theatre, but was dismissed for appearing on-stage during a performance as Albrechtin Giselle;wearing tights without the modesty trunks, obligatory for male dancers in the company. The Dowager Empress, Maria Feodorovna, complained that his appearance was obscene, and he was dismissed. It is probable that the scandal was arranged by Diaghilev, in order that Nijinsky could be free to appear with his company in the west, where many of his projects now centered around him.
He danced leading roles in Fokine's new productions Le Spectre de la Rose, and Igor Stravinsky's PetrouchkaThe Afternoon of a Faun, based on Claude Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune(1912), Jeux(1913), Till Eulenspiegel(1916) and Le Sacre du Printemps(The Rite of Spring, with music by Igor Stravinsky)1913).
Nijinsky created choreography that exceeded the limits of traditional ballet and propriety. For the first time, his audiences were experiencing the futuristic, new direction of modern dance. The radically angular movements expressed the heart of Stravinsky's radically modern scores. Nijinsky's new trends in dance caused a riotous reaction at the e Théâtre de Champs-Elysées when they premiered in Paris.
In 1913, Diaghilev's Ballets Russes toured South America. Diaghilev did not make this fateful journey, because he was told by a fortune teller in his younger days that he would die on the ocean if he ever sailed. Without his mentor's supervision, Nijinsky entered into a relationship with Romola Pulszky, a Hungarian countess. An ardent fan of Nijinsky, she booked passage on board a ship that Nijinsky was due to travel on, and during the voyage Romola succeeded in engaging his affections. They were married in Buenos Aires when the company returned to Europe.
Diaghilev is reported to have flown into a rage, culminating in Nijinsky's dismissal. Nijinsky tried in vain to create his own troupe, but a crucial London engagement failed due to administrative problems. During World War I, Nijinsky was interned in Hungary. Diaghilev succeeded in getting Nijinsky out for the American tour in 1916. During this time, Nijinsky choreographed and danced the leading role in Till Eulenspiegel.
However, it was around this time in his life that signs of his dementia praecox were becoming apparent to members of the company. Nijinsky had a nervous breakdown in 1919, and his career effectively ended. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and taken to Switzerland by his wife, where he was treated unsuccessfully by psychiatrist, Eugene Bleuler. He spent the rest of his life in and out of psychiatric hospitals and asylums.
Nijinsky died in a London clinic on April 8, 1950 and was buried in London until 1953 when his body was moved to Cimetière de Montmartre. The tombstone of Vaslav Nijinsky is in n Cimetière de Montmartre in Paris. The statue, donated by Serge Lifar, shows Nijinsky as the puppet Petrouchka.
While immortalized in numerous still photographs, only brief film clips exists of Nijinsky dancing. Diaghilev never allowed the Ballets Russes to be filmed. He felt that the quality of film at the time could never capture the artistry of his dancers and that the reputation of the company would suffer if people saw it only in short jerky films.

5 Rocket Stocks Ready to Rally This Week
Halliburton (HAL - Get Report) is one name that's been absent from our list of Rocket Stocks for a while. Shares of the oilfield service firm has been struggling for most of the year, held lower by charges related to the Macondo spill as well as oil prices that have tracked lower for much of the year. Despite those headwinds, most of the risks have worked their way out of this stock's outlook -- and more upside in Halliburton is coming into play as we approach 2013.
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
HAL helps oil companies pull crude out of the ground. The firm is involved in pressure pumping, drilling, and other services for sites in more than 80 countries. Even though oil prices have been tracking lower this year, they're still on the high side of their historic range. High oil means that a greater number of oil wells suddenly become economically viable, which drives demand for oil servicers such as Halliburton. That's unlikely to change in the near future. At the end of the day, a number of macro factors point to oil prices remaining high, and since Halliburton built its business on doing the specialized tasks that its customers don't want to do, it should be able to sustain the growth pace that it's been on for the last few years. Even if this year hasn't been a blockbuster for the stock, it's on track to reverse course.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

• Bob Woodward, whom you might say has something of a reputation, has found some surprising praise from conservatives following the journalist's recent battles with the White House about the recent fiscal crisis. [NYT]
• With sequestration set to take effect, bringing with it $85 billion in budget cuts, Congress has left Washington for the weekend after failing to pass measures to avert the course. [WaPo]
