OF GOD HOMILY OF JOHN PAUL II Tuesday, 1 January 2002 1. "Hail, holy Mother! The Child to whom you gave birth is the King of heaven and earth for ever" (cf. Entrance Antiphon). With this ancient greeting, today, the eighth day of the Octave of Christmas and the first of the year 2002, the Church greets the Blessed Virgin Mary, invoking her as Mother of God. In her the eternal Son of the Father took our very flesh and through Her became "son of David and son of Abraham" (Mt 1,1). Thus Mary is his true Mother: the Theotokos, Mother of God! If Jesus is Life, Mary is the Mother of Life.
Entering the new year, let us ask this holy Mother to bless us. Let us ask Her to give us Jesus, our full Blessing, in whom the Father blessed all history once and for all, making it become the history of salvation.
The light and hope for this commitment come to us from Christ. The Child born in Bethlehem is the eternal Word of the Father who became flesh for our salvation, he is "God-with-us", who brings with him the secret of true peace. He is the Prince of Peace.
Justice and forgiveness: these are the two "pillars" of peace, and I wanted to draw attention to them both. Between justice and forgiveness there is not opposition but complementarity, because both are essential for promoting peace. Indeed, far more than a temporary ceasefire, this is the deep healing of the wounds that weary souls (cf. Message, n. 3). Only forgiveness can quench the thirst for revenge and open hearts to an authentic and lasting reconciliation among peoples.
In God's name I renew my heartfelt appeal to all, believers and non-believers, so that the two words, "justice and peace" may always be impressed upon relations between individuals, social groups and peoples. This appeal is first and foremost for those who believe in God, in particular for the great "Abrahamic religions": Judaism, Christianity and Islam, called to declare their firm and decisive rejection of violence. No one, for any reason, can kill in the name of God, who is one and merciful. God is life and the source of life. To believe in Him means to witness to His mercy and forgiveness, rejecting the exploitation of his holy Name. An agonizing cry for peace is being raised from various parts of the world; it is rising particularly from the Land which God blessed with his Covenant and his Incarnation and for this reason is called "Holy". "The voice of your brother's blood" cries out to God from that land (cf. Gn 4,10); the blood of brothers poured out by brothers who hark back to the same Patriarch Abraham; sons, like every human being, of the same heavenly Father. 5. "Salve, Madre santa"! Virgin Daughter of Zion, how deeply must your Mother's heart suffer for this bloodshed! The Child you embrace has a name that is dear to the peoples of biblical religion: "Jesus", which means "God saves". So the Archangel named him before he was conceived in your womb (cf. Lk 2,21). In the face of the newborn Messiah, we recognize the face of all your children, who suffer from being despised and exploited. We recognize especially the faces of your children, to whatever race, nation or culture they may belong. For them, O Mary, for their future, we ask you to move hearts hardened by hatred so that they may open to love and so that revenge may finally give way to forgiveness. Obtain for us, O Mother, that the truth of this affirmation - No peace without justice, no justice without forgiveness - be engraved on every heart. Thus the human family will be able to find the true peace, that flows from the union of justice and mercy. Holy Mother, Mother of the Prince of Peace, help us! © Copyright 2002 - Libreria Editrice Vaticana |

If the NFL were to lose games this fall due to a work stoppage, we'd have to find something else to do with our weekends. The Goal-Line Stand has already provided fans with 10 suggestions, and now Fox might have another option for those looking to get their football fix any way possible.
In the event of a lockout in the fall, Fox plans on televising high school football games in NFL-style productions, according to ESPN's Bill Simmons.
First of all: as a former high school football player, I'm incredibly jealous of every single varsity football player in the United States for the ridiculously over-the-top coverage they already receive. Toss this in and get ready to see heads explode.
Secondly, I don't see this paying off for Fox. If they're actually considering this, the network must be using the completely false "football is football" mantra. Nothing compares to NFL football. If a lack of NFL football won't send fans flocking to UFL and CFL stadiums, there's no way they'll be desperate enough to resort to spending their Sundays watching random high school games.
The struggles of the UFL, AFL and XFL and CFL prove that people aren't glued to anything football. No, they're glued to anything NFL football.
Do you know how much it costs to put on an "NFL-style" mobile production? This endeavor would be great for the kids and their families. Beyond that, it would bomb.

Let us stand together and care for each other, family and neighbors, fellows and citizens of other countries, friends and foes alike! We all belong to the same human race, dwell on the same planet Earth, and are created in a Greater Image. Set to practice the Golden Rule preached the world around. Let's all pitch in, again and again. We are never too old or weak to do a good deed and make a difference. Let our little lights shine.

How I made 3,000 gold by level 30 {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 9:29PM You should add, perhaps, that all of this counts double on roleplaying realms. Even before transmog, items that looked good were selling for extreme prices. For example, even in Wrath you would expect a pair of Templar Pauldrons to go for between 500 and 1000g, and various robes for similar prices, especially Aurora. As mentioned above, Overlord's (very shiny silver plate that looks part mail) is also a great seller. Of course, as a roleplayer it irked me that people were taking advantage of us like that, but I quickly realised that if people were going to pay that much for it, so be it.
And then I made a lot of money :D

Feb 12th 2011 8:23AM I too am missing the Dr. Who reference in WoW! But, I replied to this commenter to point out that the Gnome, hiding in the gardens in Stormwind Keep that works for SI:7, who you helped to spy on a meeting, is called Tyrion... ;)
There's also a potential Cersei reference, but it's pretty vague.
Breakfast Topic: How do you get rid of more money than you need? {WoW}
Jan 17th 2011 9:33AM I've always been terrible at making Gold. I either don't have the patience to get it in the first place, or the desire to risk it on the AH. I'm hoping to perhaps start selling Vial of the Sands for enough profit as to finally make over 30k, but it's a long way ahead yet.
If I was as rich as a friend of mine on my server (~2 million, and he still plays the AH), I'd probably try and keep a solid amount for a rainy day fund (say 1 million) and let the other million be used for giving nice things to friends for birthdays, or paying for my raid community to gear up their tanks and healers.

Jun 14th 2010 2:18PM Nah, wasn't aware. It all makes sense now!
Breakfast Topic: 8,785,350 {WoW}
Jun 14th 2010 8:57AM My largest heal cast is the same as KJP (1,568,812). Looking at various reports from World of Logs and such, 1,568,812 is the result of dying to Mark of the Fallen Champion in 25 man, which works out at 4.92% health gained. On 25 man Heroic, you'd heal him for around 2,196,500. The theory that 8,785,350 comes from Saurfang 10 can't be true, however. Although it is his exact health, Mark of the Fallen Champion only heals for 5%.
Or am I missing something?

4 Things for the Brewers to avoid on their 4 game road trip
May 16th, 2011The Milwaukee Brewers open up a strange four game road trip today in Los Angeles. The Brewers will play two in Los Angeles and then two in San Diego before returning home Friday when they will be like "aww man, I want to go back to California."
The Brewers are 6-2 over their last 8 games and finally pushed themselves past the Pirates in the standings, but still remain two games under .500. For the Brewers to continue to push themselves towards the top of the NL Central and an expected playoff birth they need to play well in this small West Coast swing. It won't be easy. The Padres have some great pitching and the Dodgers are a baseball team.
Beyond baseball there are a lot of distractions that come with a West Coast road trip. There's beaches and clubs and movie stars and Disney Land, it's rough out there. For the Brewers to have success on this road trip they need to avoid all distractions. That's why we've put together this list of the four biggest threats facing the Brewers on this road trip and why they need to avoid them.
4. A Tour of Ryan Braun's House
We've all been there. We think we're just going over to someone's house for a nice dinner and maybe some drinks, but then we spend the next three hours getting a grand tour of the house and hearing about how the host "got a great deal on this faucet." Gross. Stay away if you want to get any sleep.
3. Soup's Sports Grill
I know what you're thinking "Oh Jeff Suppan is our former teammate we should check out his place," but that would be a terrible idea. For one thing if the food is anything like his pitching it's way overpriced and will send you to the showers, or in this case the bathroom, by the fifth bite. Secondly, that place was built on the ashes of your championship dream. Think we forgot about game four Jeff? Never.
2. That awful "I Love LA" song
Let's forget a second that Randy Newman ruins five minutes of every movie his songs appear in. Let us also forget that this song plays after the Dodgers win so we definitely don't want to hear it and instead focus on just how bad this song is.
Originally intended to be (somewhat) satirical with it's references to LA's homelessness and poverty, the song has morphed into a straight forward love letter to LA which has made Randy Newman even richer and somehow made his song more worthy of my hate. (As if being the anthem of the the Dodgers/Lakers/Kings/Galaxy/OJ Simpson wasn't reason enough to hate it.) Despite all of that the song's biggest offense is that no matter how much I hate the song I cannot help but to get it stuck in my head. For this alone Randy Newman is an awful, awful man.
Seriously guys, just wear earplugs or something. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go stick a screwdriver in my ear.

Nyjer Morgan wants to know if this applies to him too. Specifically, the Kardashians one.
It applies to Nyjer. A gentleman such as Tony Plush, however, should be expected to court a Kardashian.

The politically incorrect secret at VOA is the wildly inconsistent journalistic acumen of the language services. Some possess a wealth of journalistic expertise; others are woefully bereft. The disparity is explained by the simple fact that it is difficult to find people who are fluent in a given language, and also have experience in the kind of rigorous journalism VOA has traditionally required. Many are academics, here or in their country of origin, but have no journalistic background. The services often turn to émigré communities for recruitment, and a lot of the staffers come from countries where news organizations are expected to be politically partisan or pro-government. Some language services—in particular the Farsi-language service broadcasting to Iran—have been criticized on Capitol Hill and elsewhere for alleged bias in their broadcasts, arising in large part from deep partisan divides over developments or movements in the countries to which they broadcast.
But VOA officials continue to deny there is any disparity in journalistic expertise. At a recent program review of the Central News Division, one of the reviewing officers said: "There are still two classes of reporters in this place, the English-language reporters and then everybody else who is a reporter or stringer. And some of those reporters and stringers in the field, in vernacular language, are as good or better than the English-language people, and we think Central News cheats itself by not allowing, not taking advantage, frankly, of all of the voa news sources that are covering stories."
Thus, the journalistic coherence that Central News brings to VOA has been rendered impotent. In effect, VOA now has 45 different news operations, each with the potential to put a different spin on the same story. If there is a clash on the India-Pakistan border, let's say, the Pakistani-oriented Urdu Service may issue a very different view of events than the Hindi-language service aimed at India.
The Board of Governors is trying to sell the Obama administration and Congress on a scheme to merge all the broadcast entities into something called the Global News Network, under the authority of an international broadcasting czar. The BBG's Strategic Plan outlines a grandiose vision to "become the world's leading international news agency by 2016." There are indications this plan may be shelved for now, or ramped down, because of the fragile budgetary climate. The FY 2013 budget for BBG is $756 million—chump change in the governmental scheme of things—and the kind of effort envisioned by the BBG would require huge increases if it is to be done right. The proposed 2014 budget asks for $732 million. Without significantly more money, something Congress would likely be leery of approving, the Global News Network cannot hope to compete with other news entities.
And there is the unresolved question of whether what would emerge under consolidation would really be a news organization. The board and VOA management say the VOA charter is still valid, but a new mission statement in the strategic plan says the goal is "to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy [italics added]."
That last phrase is advocacy, not journalism. Regimes around the world—especially hostile ones like Iran—will read that and see VOA as a regime-change instrument of the US government. This formulation not only undercuts VOA's journalistic credibility, it puts VOA correspondents at even greater risk than necessary. I made several trips to Iran to cover events, including the 2005 presidential election. Iranian officials told me they gave visas to VOA Central News correspondents, but not to the Farsi-language service, now called the Persian Service, because the language service is perceived as partisan.
VOA was offered an opportunity to comment on the issues raised in this article, and questions were submitted to the agency for response. It declined to answer any of the questions. The VOA Public Affairs Office's response was: "Frankly speaking, the questions submitted by Mr. Thomas, a former VOA employee, contain multiple errors and suggest a bias that concerns us greatly. We invite those who want to evaluate the quality of VOA journalism to look at our websites or our programs that reach over 135 million people each week in 45 separate languages."

US international broadcasting is at a crossroads. If it is to be a truly dynamic, respected news organization in the 21st-century media market, then several steps must be taken:

Gurpreet Singh: Senior leftist Bibi Veeran calls for unity against Sikh fundamentalists
Defying old age and Alzheimer's disease, senior leftist Bibi Veeran has come to the support of moderate Sikhs in Greater Vancouver. At 83 years of age, the Coquitlam resident recently called upon moderate Sikhs and secularists to unite against fundamentalist forces in Canada.
At a public meeting organized by moderates in Surrey, she urged the gathering to get active and work together to oust the fundamentalists from the Guru Nanak Sikh temple in this year's election. The Surrey gurdwara has in the past been controlled and managed by moderates. However, as a result of infighting among them, a conservative Sikh slate won the last temple election in 2009.
At a meeting held following a truce among moderate camps, Veeran insisted that if the fundamentalist forces were not defeated, temples in Greater Vancouver will eventually end up in the hands of Sikh separatists. She was particularly upset at the continued control by Sikh separatists over the historical Sikh temple in Stockton, California.
It was established by activists in the Ghadar party, who believed in armed rebellion against the British occupation of India. The party, which was founded in 1913, was secular in character as it kept religion and politics apart.
Gradually, control of that temple fell into the hands of the supporters of Khalistan, an imaginary theocratic Sikh homeland carved out of India. Stockton temple officials have allegedly replaced pictures of Ghadar activists with images of pro-Khalistan militants.
"They have dumped the pictures of the secular martyrs and replaced them with the pictures of religious extremists," Veeran told the crowd.
She reminded the gathering that old Sikh temples in Canada were also established by secularists and need to be saved from being taken over by fundamentalist forces.
Veeran told the Georgia Straight that she has repeated her message at other social functions. She is not new to activism within the local Punjabi community, having spoken out against fanaticism, racism, and gender discrimination on countless occasions.
Married to a veteran Communist activist, Karam Singh Dhanwant, she was born in a liberal Sikh family in India. She immigrated to Canada in the early 1980s, and one of her daughters is married to an aboriginal man.
Her brother, Arjan Singh Mastana, was a senior Communist leader in Punjab until he was assassinated by pro-Khalistan militants for opposing religious extremism.
Veeran was visiting Punjab when Mastana was murdered. Nevertheless, she is proud of her Sikh heritage, too.
"I do not distinguish between the liberal version of Sikhism and Communism," she said. "For me, they are the same. The separatists who talk about religion are in fact its biggest enemies as they do not believe in true values of Sikhism, which is more about compassion and social equality."
When caste war broke out in Punjab in 2009, she resolutely condemned discrimination against Dalits (the so-called untouchables). The violence followed the murder of a Dalit saint in Vienna by upper-caste Sikh fundamentalists. Veeran categorically stated that the crisis was an outcome of the systemic abuse of Dalits.
"The false sense of superiority among the upper-caste people is the root of the problem," she said.
Since Bibi Veeran is losing her memory, it is becoming difficult to document many details she might have about her life history. But she continues to attend public meetings aimed at promoting secularism.
Gurpreet Singh is Georgia Straight contributor, and the host of a program on Radio India. He's working on a book tentatively titled Canada's 9/11: Lessons from the Air India Bombings.
What reason would "secular communists" have to take control of Sikh gurdwaras? Aren't the places of worship of every other religious community run by religious members of the community? Why are the Sikh community's places of worship so different?
Secondly, you seem to have no problem lauding the Ghadar "martyrs" who took up arms against the British but clearly oppose the Khalistan "militants" who also resorted to the same tactics. Why do you think that the Ghadar "martyr" pictures should be up on walls of temples (especially if they're "moderate" temples?)
Finally, I'm not sure what to make of the moderate/extremist/fundamentalist categorization you've identified in the Sikh community. As a host of Radio India, isn't your boss, an avowed "moderate", accused of shooting a rival in the Guru Nanak Temple parking lot? Do "moderates" also resort to violence in the Sikh community or are the categories you've identified not reflective of reality?
Just trying to understand the whole picture.
The moderates in question here were ousted after years of corruption at the temple. Millions of dollars were funnelled out of the temple and into private hands during the time when the moderates held power. Voters were fed up with seeing money that should have gone into programs and temple improvements being wasted on private gains.
The fundamentalists won because they are the party of the people. Since coming to power they have established useful programs (a battered women's shelter at the temple, for instance).
Moderate control leads to private gain. The majority spoke out and put an end to it.
But, now I could say What else you could expect.

There are no moderate or conservative Sikhs. Either you believe in Sikh philosophy and tenets or you don't. Are there moderate and conservative Catholics? Either you believe or you are a non-believer and non-practitioner. Someone may be born into a Sikh or Catholic family and just be a cultural Sikh or a cultural Catholic without any belief. Why would people born into Catholic families who don't practice want to run the church? In the same way why do people who don't practice Sikhism want to run Sikh temples?
This Bibi and the likes of Gurpreet say that these "separatists" need to leave their imaginary fights from back in Punjab in Punjab and integrate into Canadian society. Ok, so why is this Bibi and others so hell bent on promoting Indian nationalism. Shouldn't they also leave their Indian nationalism in India and focus on Canadian society?
The so-called "separatists" have donated blood, sweat, and tears to the Canadian state and are productive members of Canadian society.
Also, please not that the Sikhs fighters who fought the Indian state in the 80s and 90s were fighting for their human rights, to live freely as Sikhs, whereas the Communists of the time were actively assisting the Indian state in villifying genuine Sikh demands. Many of these demands have now been fulfilled or are in the process of being fulfilled.(live broadcast of religious hymns from the golden temple, Sikh marriage act, the Indian state still has a quota on % of sikhs that can serve in the army) This is all thanks to the "separatists" sacrifices, whereas the communists fought for what?
They did nothing to advance Punjab economically or culturally. They tried their best to please the Congress establishment hoping for power in return. However, all they received was complete political estrangement in Punjab politics, so much so, even the Congress party has not asked for their support any longer.
If a government sponsors genocide on a specific faith or race, and that faith or race picks up arms to defend their right to life and liberty, civilized nations view this as heroic. Communists of Punjab view this as "separatism." Why these Punjabi communists don't immigrate to Communists nations is bewildering; instead they insist on living in democratic, captitalist societies. Thus, why their agendas always conflict with mainstream Sikhs, the vast majority who support the "separatists" whom this Bibi and Gurpreet portray as "living martyrs."
The fact that most Gurdwaras across the civilized world support the "separatists" is a sure tale sign that the vast majority of Sikhs are in favor or just don't care about such things. However, the belief that the Gurdwaras are forcibly in the control of "separatists" is the same propaganda that Indira Gandhi used to attack the Golden Temple.
If Sikhs were so upset at such "separatists", they would not vote them into control. The elections are a democratic process. This is not your Communist state where one party rules the roost and forces people to submit to totalitarian rule.
Wake up. Your communist buddies in Punjab are a rejected and lost lot with threadbare support. Even the ghadari babas would despise the current Indian state as it stands on human rights and religious freedom. However, you people would rather keep the infighting among the sikh community going as it suits your fantasy love affair with a eutopian Indian state where people live in harmony and the establishment treats its citizens like humans. However, every unbiased international study shows otherwise.

Story pick: Father Christmas
This is why you should be careful in a newsroom when casually reminiscing to a colleague about one of your favorite stories of past. That person might just read it, might just really enjoy it – and, despite any embarrassment it might cause you, might just choose it as the story pick of the day.
So, at risk that he will be more cautious the next time he talks to me, here's a story from Steve Hendrix that is season-appropriate – and a really enjoyable read.

Our Whirlpool Duet Sport dryer (model no WED8300SW1) died a few days ago. It's displaying an F-01 code which I have been told means it needs a new central control unit to the tune of roughly $300. I don't like the dryer that much. I'm buy used and getting a GE dryer, model no. GTDP208EDWW. If you know anything about this particular dryer, tell me all about it please. I have a Whirlpool Duet Sport front-loader washing machine (model no WFW8400TW00) that I don't love. It works well so I plan on selling it and replacing it with something better-suited for us. The guy I'm buying the dryer from has offered to trade my FL'ing washing machine for a GE Hydrowave with agitator (model no WJRE5550HWW) or a Whirlpool Direct Drive (model no LSQ9549LQ0). I've researched both and I don't think either are a good fit for me. Can you recommend a good, basic, easy-to-repair washing machine for us? I want something that loads from the top, that uses enough water to get my clothes clean and is more gentle on clothes. We're a family of 5 with small children so I'll be washing at least a load a day, but probably about 3 loads a day. We cloth diaper also and the washing machine I have just isn't doing a good job at getting our diapers really clean. I don't mind older models as long as they are very reliable. Sorry for all the chatter. I'm completely overwhelmed with this decision and have probably already over-analyzed. I really appreciate any help you can offer. |

Speed Queen, Speed Queen, Speed Queen!!! A Speed Queen has everything that you are asking for, and nothing that you don't need. I've had my model AWN542 since May '12 and I am in love with this washing machine. It is built like a tank, actually uses WATER to get my clothes clean, doesn't have a bunch of electronic crap to break, and washes load after load after load beautifully. In all the time I've had it, it has never had an unbalanced load, even when washing throw rugs or blankets. The 542 model has gentle and delicate cycles and an extra rinse cycle as well. A 3-year warranty is standard. It is more expensive than most top loaders (mine was $830 OTD), but it is a very well made and simple machine and I don't see myself replacing it for a long, long time. After seeing what else was out there, I didn't blink at paying the extra money for the Speed Queen. I can't recommend this machine enough! Seriously, go look at everything else, and then go look at the Speed Queen. It won't hurt to read the testimonials online, either. People are happy with this washing machine because it does what it should do ... clean clothes WELL. |

Fire Climatology
International Journal of Wildland Fire Special Issue Volume 17, Number 1, February 2008. Edited by: Thomas W. Swetnam1 and R. Scott Anderson2
Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, The University of Arizona, Tucson,
ABSTRACT: Advances in fire climatology have derived from recent studies of modern and paleoecological records. We convened a series of workshops and a conference session to report and review regional-scale findings, and these meetings led to the 10 papers in this special issue. Two papers focus on fire and climate patterns in the modern era using documentary records, four papers utilise tree rings to evaluate recent centuries of change, and four papers evaluate charcoal and pollen in lake, bog, and alluvial sediments over the Holocene. Here we summarise some of the key findings from these papers in the context of other recent fire climatology literature. These studies illustrate the value of long-term perspectives and spatial networks of fire and climate data in discovering the patterns and modes of past fire regime and climate variations. |
Download data from the WDC Paleo archive: Many of the paleofire records used in this special issue are available via the International Multiproxy Paleofire Database. |

Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Marietta Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Faith, a Marietta Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) for sale in Marietta, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) puppy from a breeder in Marietta.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marietta 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 Marietta 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 Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Shepherd (Unknown Type) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marietta paves the way for another one to be saved.

Facing Central Park Christian, from Birmingham, Ala., the Blue Raiders suffered a heartbreaking 71-69 overtime loss, while the short-handed Lady Raiders dominated the Lady Eagles 48-16.
Cleveland will return to District 5-AAA play this week as McMinn County pays a visit to the Raider Dome Tuesday while Soddy-Daisy will be in town Friday evening.
The odds seemed stacked against the Raiders from the moment the gargantuan Eagles set foot on the East Hamilton court with the Central Park roster including three players measuring in at 6-foot-10, 6-foot-11, and 7-feet tall, with only three players coming in under 6-foot-2.
"That's the best team we'll play all year. Not taking away from any of the teams that we play, but you don't see three guys over 6-10 on one team. We just don't see that," Blue Raider head coach Jason McCowan said of the oversized team.
The stage was set for a game of David verses Goliath-like proportions, as Cleveland would fiercely battle to remain within reach of a lead takeover.
By the end of the first period, the Raiders were down by only two points, 18-16, thanks to the attempts of Kendrick Thompson, CJ Bryant, and Isaiah Beaty.
"I knew if we would stay disciplined and get over the 'Wow, they're really big factor!' that we would be OK," McCowan explained.
Posting a 21-12 scoring spurt, the second period ended with the Raiders up 37-30.
The hero of the first half was without a doubt Thompson, who was able to net 23 points, the majority of which came from seven 3-pointers.
"I feel like Kendrick (Thompson) being really hot, having 23 in the first half really settled us down, because it showed our guys that hey we're good enough to beat this team," McCowan said of the momentum brought on by Thompson.
The Eagles were able to challenge the Raider defense throughout the third period, adding 17 more points to decrease their deficit to just one — 48-47.
The fourth period continued the Eagles' charge to retake the lead, and was the true definition of a cat-and-mouse as a one-point lead would continue to change hands. Bryant was able to tie the game up at 63-63 with a free throw with less than eight seconds remaining on the clock. A second, missed free throw took the game into overtime.
"We outplayed them in every facet of the game and then we missed 16 free throws. We outplayed them in every position but you can't win games when you miss the free throws," McCowan said.
The modern day David and Goliath tale would end in the giant's favor this time, as the Eagles were able to finish on top, outscoring the Raiders 8-6 in the extra four minutes of play.
Central Park hit 6-of-8 free throws in the overtime with the last one coming with 13 ticks on the clock ofr a four-point advantage.
Cleveland's DJ Jones did sink a basket in the final seconds but the final outcome had already been sealed.
Despite the loss, McCowan could not fault his team as it had come back from an embarrassing loss to Bradley Central and played Friday's game with discipline, doing everything asked of it.
"They took that challenge and did a great job. I'm very proud of them and happy for the guys that got out there and really battled," McCowan said of his team. "If we can be that way the rest of the year I think we'll have a lot of success."
Point leaders for the Raiders were Thompson with 34 points followed by both Bryant and Beaty with 10 points.
The Eagles were led by Srdjan Budimir with 20 points, Walter Arnold with 13 points, and Roderick Harris with 11 points.
Still missing four starters from their lineup, the Cleveland girls were able to come back from a loss to Bradley Central earlier in the week, and secure a decisive win.
The Lady Raiders were coming off a 56-21 loss to Bradley and, due to inclement weather, had not been able to practice since Wednesday before heading to the showcase.
Despite coming into Friday's game a record of 9-0, the Lady Eagles posed absolutely no threat to the Lady Raiders in the easy victory.
"We played a smaller team than us, and were able to come out with a lot of energy from the tip. We got our hands on a lot of basketballs and blossomed from there," head coach Mindy Kiser said of Friday's game.
The Blue-and-White outscored the opponents 16-6 to end the first period.
During the second period the Lady Raiders defense shined as the Lady Eagles weren't able to register any points. That was not the case for Cleveland, as they were able to register another 12 points.
"We got some of our younger kids hitting some shots right before halftime and that was really good to see. We haven't done that as of late and we were able to do that," Kiser said of her young players' efforts.
The Lady Eagles attempted to narrow their deficit and managed to score an additional seven points only to see the Lady Raiders score another nine points. The third period ended with the home team up 37-13.
The fourth period once again demonstrated some strong defense and offense by Cleveland as the Lady Eagles were only able to add three more points to the scoreboard, while the Lady Raiders tabulated another 11.
"I thought we were good on the glass. Our big girls inside did a good job and we controlled the tempo for most of the game," Kiser stated.
The Lady Raiders were led by Graicyn Walkup, who was able to net four 3-pointers, racking up 12 points.
Hallea McClendon also added to the scoreboard with 10 points of her own. Kellee Geren was able to hit two 3-pointers during the game.
The point leader for the Lady Eagles was Lena Niang with 11 points.
Kiser hopes that the encouraging win will keep the team going as the season begins to wind down.
"We'll just keep chugging along and moving forward."

So good with a printed t-shirt, ankle boots and bedhead.
I'm super-into that twisted waistband.
Pair it with an eyelet top for a polished warm weather outfit.
I'd wear something sheer and delicate on top.
This is what I want to wear to those daytime things where I want to look serious but also fashion-y.
J.Crew makes the best pencil skirts, hands down.

Fully dedicated to vehicular beauty and upkeep, the technicians at Presidential Auto Detailing meticulously detail the interiors and exteriors of cars, SUVs, motorbikes, boats, and RVs. A clay-bar treatment over the body, windows, and tires helps dislodge embedded surface contaminants, followed by a wax to increase cars' gleam. Inside the cabin, staffers wipe the dash and console, shampoo carpets, and vacuum dirt out of even the tiniest crevices and Lilliputian hiding places. They also condition all leather and shine motors. Presidential also tints vehicles' windows, with technicians affixing durable SunTek film to reduce glare, filter out the sun's UVs, and increase privacy.
The presenters at the 2011 Hoodie Awards couldn't hide their shock when, for the fourth year in a row, Showroom Shine Express Detailing took home the prize for Best Detail Shop, exclaiming, "They defend it every year!" The award was no surprise to the shop's lengthy list of regulars, a loyal group that includes professional athletes, tons of locals, and the annual Ferrari calendar's racy centerfold car. The staff sends rides from its lot to gleam in the sunshine, or it deploys its mobile detailing team to you. The meticulous detailing packages cover cars and SUVs from bottom to top as the team members scrub tires, shampoo carpets, wipe consoles, and wash and wax exteriors. They can also tint windows, repair windshields, and clear out foggy headlights.
Auto Spa Etc. hosts a talented crew with a knack for freeing vehicles of filth and grime, using elevated water pressure to de-soil street steeds during a full-service wash and dry topped off with Rain-X surface protectant. The touchless car wash and gas station at Auto Spa Etc. also team up with expert technicians to retool vehicles with meticulous detailing and maintenance services.
Ziebart's auto aficionados dispel grit and grime with their exclusive brand of products and specialized equipment. Beginning with a hand wash, washer-persons lovingly scrub exteriors, eliminating road residue. Asserting their dominance over technology, attentive technicians compel machines to polish paintjobs, restoring luster to chromatic coverings and buffing light scratches. Motorcar magicians then cast a sparkling spell on chrome, trim, tires, wheels, and glass. The two-hour buggy bath concludes with an application of a Ziebart- seasonal protective paint coating, which defends shine from the constant attacks of UV rays and the jeering taunts of envious starlight.
So established is Circle K Midwest that even brand-new vehicles recognize what its red-and-white logo stands for—fuel, snacks, and everything else a car might need to keep powering down the road with its driver. Circle K's story starts back in 1951, when Fred Hervey bought three Kay's Food Stores in El Paso, Texas. Under his guidance, these three little shops grew into the more than 3,000 convenience stores that crouch on our nation's street corners today.
After rolling up to a Circle K, drivers can pump their faithful roadsters full of high-octane fuel and send them skipping through a car wash to experience the cleansing touch of Blue Coral Beyond Green and Rain-X products. Then it's time to step inside the air-conditioned shop for a peek at the provisions. Rows of sodas hibernate behind glass doors, and snacks, candy, and their ATM guardians stand boldly out in the open. Some Circle Ks also offer the Take Away Fresh Café, which presents an appetizing lineup of healthy road fare including sandwiches, fruit cups, and fresh-cut vegetables. Drivers can gear up for a long drive with premium coffees or enjoy a cold Polar Pop, whose specially formulated cup keeps drinks colder thanks to the family of tiny snowmen trapped in its foam walls.
At DentEx, auto technicians fix dents and assess necessary repairs through a meticulous, customer-centric process. They can replace everything from windshields and moldings to sheet metal parts and the soundtrack from Night Rider. Besides mending wounded buggies, they also maintain them with thorough detailing packages, restoring them to a showroom appearance.


text: AEB-L steel was designed for razors, which need corrosion resistance, high hardness and very acute edges. Once you try a knife that is made with AEB-L you will see why it is coveted by knife enthusiasts and professionals. The knife will take a very keen edge just like the best carbon steels yet you don't have to worry about rusting. You will also find much better sharpening properties since AEB-L is less prone to produce wire edges that are so common when you sharpen most high end Japanese kitchen knives. I designed this cleaver to be thin, hard and stainless with a nice distal taper, convex blade grind and 50/50 V edge at 15 degrees. The octagonal handle is made from walnut. The blades are made with our partner Lamson and Goodnow in the USA.

The B&I program provides loan guarantees for expansion and preservation of jobs in rural areas. The program can provide development credit in rural areas and towns of 50,000 or less. Jobs produced in this manner will help people stay in their own communities and raise their standard of living in the rural environment. The program provides guarantees to commercial lenders who make credit available to establish or maintain businesses. Loan funds may be used to purchase land, buildings and equipment; working capital; and in some cases to refinance debt. Eligible entities include corporations, partnerships, cooperatives, individuals, federally recognized Indian Tribes and other legal entities.
The purpose of the Intermediary Relending Program is to finance business facilities and community development projects in rural areas. This is achieved through low interest loans made by Rural Development to intermediaries. The intermediaries relend the funds to ultimate recipients for business purposes or community development projects. Intermediaries establish revolving loan funds, so that collections from loans to ultimate recipients, in excess of necessary operating expenses and debt payments, will be used for more loans to ultimate recipients. Intermediaries may be private nonprofit corporations, public agencies, Indian groups or cooperatives. Any type legal entity, including individuals and public and private organizations, may be an ultimate recipient.
These grants provide resources which are utilized to develop small and emerging business enterprises in rural areas or cities up to 50,000 population. Qualifying entities include public bodies and nonprofit corporations. Grants are used by third party lenders to create revolving business loan funds. Funds can also be used to install infrastructure to business locations and house business incubators.
This program provides grants to agriculutural producers and small rural businesses for planning activities and working capital for marketing value-added agricultural products.
This grant program can fund businesses that use local rural materials or human resources. Funding can also establish business support centers and assist in the creation of new rural businesses. Technical asssitance training can be provided to existing or prospective rural entrepreneurs and managers, including leadership and development training. Community and multi-county economic development planning, training centers, and interactive communications technologies to develop international trade opportunities and markets can also be funded.
Rural Cooperative Development grants are made for establishing and operating centers for cooperative development for the primary purpose of improving the economic condition of rural areas through the development of new cooperatives and improving operations of existing cooperatives. The U.S. Department of Agriculture desires to encourage and stimulate the development of effective cooperative organizations in rural America as a part of its total package of rural development efforts.
This program is utilized to finance rural economic development and rural job creation projects which are based on sound economic and financial analysis. This is done by making zero-interest loans and/or grants to Rural Development electric and telephone borrowers who use the funds to provide financing for business and community development projects. Eligible project costs include project feasibility studies, start-up costs, purchasing facilities and equipment, business incubator projects and other reasonable expenses for the purpose of fostering rural economic development.

Merrem I.V.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of MERREM I.V. and other antibacterial drugs, MERREM I.V. should only be used to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
MERREM I.V. is useful as presumptive therapy in the indicated condition (e.g. intra-abdominal infections) prior to the identification of the causative organisms because of its broad spectrum of bactericidal activity.

MERREM I.V. is indicated as a single agent therapy for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections due to Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates only), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, viridans group streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis (vancomycin-susceptible isolates only), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Bacteroides fragilis, and Peptostreptococcus species.
Intra-Abdominal Infections (Adult Patients And Pediatric Patients ≥ 3 Months Only)
MERREM I.V. is indicated as a single agent therapy for the treatment of complicated appendicitis and peritonitis caused by viridans group streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacteroides fragilis, B. thetaiotaomicron, and Peptostreptococcus species.
Bacterial Meningitis (Pediatric Patients ≥ 3 Months only)
MERREM I.V. is indicated as a single agent therapy for the treatment of bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae‡, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria meningitidis.
MERREM I.V. has been found to be effective in eliminating concurrent bacteremia in association with bacterial meningitis.
For information regarding use in pediatric patients (3 months of age and older) [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, and ADVERSE REACTIONS].
‡ The efficacy of meropenem as monotherapy in the treatment of meningitis caused by penicillin nonsusceptible isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae has not been established.
Adult Patients
The recommended dose of MERREM I.V. is 500 mg given every 8 hours for skin and skin structure infections and 1 g given every 8 hours for intra-abdominal infections. When treating complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by P.aeruginosa, a dose of 1g every 8 hours is recommended.
MERREM I.V. should be administered by intravenous infusion over approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Doses of 1 g may also be administered as an intravenous bolus injection (5 to 20 mL) over approximately 3-5 minutes.
Use In Adult Patients With Renal Impairment
Dosage should be reduced in patients with creatinine clearance of 50 mL/min or less. (See dosing table below.)
When only serum creatinine is available, the following formula (Cockcroft and Gault equation)5 may be used to estimate creatinine clearance.
Males: | (weight in kg) x (140 – age) |
(72) x serum creatinine (mg/100 mL) | |
Females | (0.85) x (above value) |
Recommended MERREM I.V.
Dosage Schedule for Adult Patients With Renal Impairment
Creatinine Clearance (mL/min) | Dose (dependent on type of infection) | Dosing Interval |
> 50 | Recommended dose (500 mg cSSSI and 1g Intra-abdominal) | Every 8 hours |
> 25-50 | Recommended dose | Every 12 hours |
10 - 25 |
One-half recommended dose | Every 12 hours |
< 10 | One-half recommended dose | Every 24 hours |
There is inadequate information regarding the use of MERREM I.V. in patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
Use In Pediatric Patients ( ≥ 3 Months Only)
For pediatric patients from 3 months of age and older, the MERREM I.V. dose is 10, 20 or 40 mg/kg every 8 hours (maximum dose is 2 g every 8 hours), depending on the type of infection (complicated skin and skin structure, intraabdominal or meningitis). (See dosing table below.) Pediatric patients weighing over 50 kg should be administered MERREM I.V. at a dose of 500 mg every 8 hours for complicated skin and skin structure infections, 1 g every 8 hours for intra-abdominal infections and 2 g every 8 hours for meningitis. MERREM I.V. should be given as intravenous infusion over approximately 15 to 30 minutes or as an intravenous bolus injection (5 to 20 mL) over approximately 3-5 minutes.
There is limited safety data available to support the administration of a 40 mg/kg (up to a maximum of 2 g) bolus dose.
Recommended MERREM I.V.
Dosage Schedule for Pediatric Patients with Normal Renal Function
Type of Infection | Dose (mg/kg) | Up to a Maximum Dose | Dosing Interval |
Complicated skin and skin structure | 10 | 500 mg | Every 8 hours |
Intra-abdominal | 20 | 1 g | Every 8 hours |
Meningitis | 40 | 2 g | Every 8 hours |
When treating complicated skin and skin structure infections caused by P. aeruginosa, a dose of 20 mg/kg (or 1 g for pediatric patients weighing over 50 kg) every 8 hours is recommended.
There is no experience in pediatric patients with renal impairment.
Preparation Of Solution
For Intravenous Bolus Administration
Constitute injection vials (500 mg and 1 g) with sterile Water for Injection (see table below). Shake to dissolve and let stand until clear.
Vial Size | Amount of Diluent Added (mL) | Approximate Withdrawable Volume (mL) | Approximate Average Concentration (mg/mL) |
500 mg | 10 | 10 | 50 |
1 g | 20 | 20 | 50 |
For Infusion
Infusion vials (500 mg and 1 g) may be directly constituted with a compatible infusion fluid. Alternatively, an injection vial may be constituted, then the resulting solution added to an I.V. container and further diluted with an appropriate infusion fluid [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION].
WARNING: Do not use flexible container in series connections.
Compatibility of MERREM I.V. with other drugs has not been established. MERREM I.V. should not be mixed with or physically added to solutions containing other drugs.
Stability And Storage
Freshly prepared solutions of MERREM I.V. should be used. However, constituted solutions of MERREM I.V. maintain satisfactory potency under the conditions described below. Solutions of intravenous MERREM I.V. should not be frozen.
Intravenous Bolus Administration
MERREM I.V. injection vials constituted with sterile Water for Injection for bolus administration (up to 50 mg/mL of MERREM I.V.) may be stored for up to 3 hours at up to 25°C (77°F) or for 13 hours at up to 5°C (41°F).
Solutions prepared for infusion (MERREM I.V. concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 mg/mL) constituted with Sodium Chloride Injection 0.9% may be stored for 1 hour at up to 25°C (77°F) or 15 hours at up to 5°C (41°F).
Solutions prepared for infusion (MERREM I.V. concentrations ranging from 1 to 20 mg/mL) constituted with Dextrose Injection 5% should be used immediately.
NOTE: Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
Dosage Forms And Strengths
Single use clear glass vials containing 500 mg or 1 g (as the trihydrate blend with anhydrous sodium carbonate for constitution) of sterile meropenem powder.
Storage And Handling
MERREM I.V. is supplied in 20 mL and 30 mL injection vials containing sufficient meropenem to deliver 500 mg or 1 g for intravenous administration, respectively. The dry powder should be stored at controlled room temperature 20-25°C (68-77°F) [see USP].

Just a Question
Modding for UT (orignal)
My Character Models attack is that they can claw you with there arms now I see two possible ways of proceeding 1a. Arms with Model IF I were to have them attach to the model Id have to make extra animations whether or not he's attacking or not walk attack walk run attack run crouch attack crouch so forth..... 1b. Arms as Weapons -note were talking about the 3rd person weapon now is it possible to have the arms as weapons? would I be able to attach them so the animation still looks fluent to its parent mesh (the character model) Can weapons not have to be Static. how would I go about rigging them? would I attach them to my Character Rigged with bones animate it with it them just delete the character body so the arms fir the body and I can export the animated frames? |

a third approach is to use the animation blending capabilities of the Unreal engine. note that the UT200x pawns do not have separate "run and fire" anims, "crouch and fire" anims, etc. instead a base animation (such as RunF) is blended in code with an anim on a higher channel (e.g., Rifle_Burst), mainly according to parameters spec'd in the function AnimBlendParams().
search UDN and the Wiki for AnimBlendParams, and also look at how it is used in xPawn (UDE is a good tool for checking the class scripts). this is a good starting point for learning how the stock characters function in this regard. |
11th Oct 2004, 11:16 AM | #3 |
oh! interesting... I would also like to implement the arms blow offable, either or if enough damage is done to them, so would they have to be separate objects to do that? or would AnimBlendParams be able to cover that?
11th Oct 2004, 11:21 AM | #4 |
I open the Actor class and Im not finding it... but Ive seen things that give me to believe that it does exist because in Rune there heads will face near by eneimes and there arms blow off and they run of the old engine.... but im not finding this function
12th Oct 2004, 01:48 AM | #5 |
ScrollMaster. What you are looking for is the SetBoneScale function rather than AnimBlendParams.
I'm not fully sure that the skeletal animation blending was implemented in UT99. 2kx it is for sure, but in 99... The locational damage is basically up to you, though for UT99 it would be best to do with an offset from the model's centerpoint, just as is done with headshots, But as for the blow off effect it would need to be in the TakeDamage function. As in If (Damage>=Threshold) { SetBoneScale(bonename, 0.0); Spawn(Class bonenamegib, vectoroffset); } Assuming I have remembered all my unreal script properly. |

apologies, ScrollMaster -- i missed the reference to UT99 in your original post. Vailias is likely correct about anim blending being a later development.
12th Oct 2004, 08:08 AM | #7 |
then Im going to have to go back to plan 2 I guess

Thank you for the thoughtful and informative article. Knowing someone who died by suicide can be devastating. It can be hard to recognize the signs , but it is important to recognize that someone needs help, and to get them that help.
- Frank Blackwood
- March 22, 2011 - 11:58
This is a very interesting article which potrays a very respectable family. There are times in ones lifetime that Suicide seems to be the only highway of peace. Today, people can get help from various professionals who can really help. The big problem is that people have so much pride and feel seeking help is a weakness. Throughout my years as a professional there have been many unexpected deaths that suprised us all. The fact that Joan shared this message will perhaps open the ears and eyes of many to seek help and also do so for others who may be suffering from a depressive state of mind.
- Judy Benson
- March 22, 2011 - 13:35
Death can be a choice made not only by depressed persons. There are circumstances where death is a sensible choice. If an adult chooses death, and that death does not involve the participation of another individual, then no one, not family and not professional people, absolutely no one should have the right to interfere.

We finally going for remodeling our master bath. We are experienced DIY-ers and will do most of the work ourselves. After reading lots of posts here on this forum and on the Internet, I was so upset to find out that shower and tub shampoo niches are not an option for us - we have two external walls in our master bath and niches will compromise the isolation. What would be our alternatives considering: 1. The style is contemporary. We are aiming to sleek minimalist look. We will order custom vanity top, either granite or quartz. I do not like glass or plastic shelves. Which leaves us with metal baskets/shelves or shelves made of our counter top materials. Or, tiled shelves maybe? Any advantages or drawbacks of these options? Any idea how to achieve a contemporary look? If someone can post pictures of the modern solutions for this or share some ideas, it would be greatly appreciated :) |

How about some corner shelves made of tile. The design is what will make it modern. - straight or curved to fit in with your design. A single piece of tile will work. It would be best if the tile was porcelain so you could round or rout the edge. You can have your vanity top fabricator do it for you. Or even stone to match your vanity. Have you gone and browsed through www.houzz.com? Lots of pictures. |
This post was edited by Anna_in_TX on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 18:03
Alina, As Anna said, for your shower, corner shelves would work, Depending on whether or not you have room to build out one wall a few inches, you could literally build one long shelf on one of your outside walls, ie build out the bottom part another four inches, and cap it with granite or stone. |

Are you doing any grab rails? We have one that has a removable shelf attached. Doesn't look "medical" at all. |
These are great suggestions, thank you! Believe it or not, I went through all of them before I posted my question. With each option, I am not certain about few things. 1. With corner shelves, I am not sure how to make them looks neat. We will use porcelain tiles, I do not know if the bullnose tiles will be available. I am just afraid that the shelf will look busy or just poorly done. 2. I really like the idea of a long narrow shelf along the entire tub and shower, but the space is very limited and I can't come up with the layout. I mean, the tub and the shower will be in a row, something like this: http://matgoz.com/2733/shower-design-ideas-for-cool-tiny-bathrooms/shower-design-ideas-for-cool-tiny-bathrooms-with-fabulous-bathroom-glass-shower-design-with-tub-on-the-side/ How I am supposed to go around this glass wall of the shower? Can't think of anything, even if we will manage to get these 4-6" for the shelf.. 3. I can definitely ask granite guys to make few corner or rectangular shelves out of our contertop remnants. Can someone tell me how to install them? Some support underneath? 4. I saw the grab bars with the shelves online, but the shelves were plastic - just did not like them. If I will come across a nice looking grab bar/shelf combo, it could be an option. 5. And finally, houzz seems to be a great resource. It wasn't available at the time of our last renovation. It stopped me after few pages and pop ups were annoying. Should I register there? Thanks again for your help and thoughts guys! |
- Posted by gladys1924 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 12:26
Here you go. We got our grab bar/shelf in bronze, to match our other hardware. Perhaps one of these days (years?) dh will get the thing installed! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Moen Grab rail/shelf
Trust me, I am just finishing renovating a tiny Master Bath, I know all about space issues! Since we had the same issue as you, two outside walls, we created our niche on the inside wall with the plumbing by building out the wall the width of a 2 X 4 and directing the pipe for the overhead shower behind the niche. With the added thickness of the thinset and tile the inside of the niche is almost 5" deep and with the granite overhang, the bottom shelf is almost 6" deep. We built it tall enough to add a second shelf of tempered glass. Pic of finished MBR niche showing built out end wall I will try and answer all the above questions. |
Thanks for the link Gladys - will not work for me because the shelf is too small for our stuff. And 4 or 5 grab bars in the shower would look crazy even for our family :) Good luck with installation of yours! raehelen , Thank you so much for the pictures! Your shower looks really cool! I do not see the overhead shower there. It is not installed yet?The niche is very roomy. Before&after pictures are really helpful. Will try to implement something like this in our only internal wall (it will be next to the short side of the tub). Planning such project is a full time job... I spent a month designing a vanity combination. I picked a whirlpool tub and got a couple of quotes (one is acceptable) for a vanity top. Still, it is all so overwhelming... I am sure I will ask more questions here. Will register for Houzz now.. |
I have Ginger shower baskets. I like them because they hold enough stuff and are easy to clean. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 16:23
I'm also doing Ginger baskets in this remodel (actually the remodel is almost complete and the baskets should be installed this week). In my previous home, we had a ledge about 4-5" wide, 3' long and 3' high, which I loved (I'm not a huge fan of niches, which I had before the ledge). I'm hoping the Ginger baskets will look at home in my two contemporary bathrooms. |
If you are having someone help with the tiling, they can shape the edge of porcelain tile. So no need for bullnose. Mine's not done yet but all my niches just have straight edges made from the tile. My tile guy is not cheap but he's very good. |

RE: How to choose/where to buy cabinet hardware? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: kelleg on 05.05.2009 at 09:05 am in Kitchens Forum We have a couple of local hardware (meaning door hardware) places. Do you have any? I have really enjoyed being able to go and see things in person. Also, HD has a pretty good selection right now. They carry Amerock, which seems like a pretty good brand (not sure, though). I have about 60 knobs going in my kitchen, so I know how things add up! HD prices are pretty good. We have a lighting place that carries hardware too. It will give our builder a discount--be sure to ask about builder discounts.
