A Jeffco GOP vacancy committee has named state Rep. Libby Szabo to take over the remainder of the term of former county commissioner Faye Griffin.
Szabo was elected in November to a third term in House District 27, which includes western Arvada, and served as assistant minority leader for the House Republicans.
A petition signed by 6,554 Jeffco residents calling for school board President Ken Witt and board members John Newkirk and Julie Williams to resign caused a stir at the board's meeting on Thursday evening.
Jeffco parent and petition organizer Molly Snyder told board members she is not affiliated with the teachers union, the Jefferson County Education Association.
Jefferson County is thriving in terms of its economic vitality, said Doug Bene, executive vice president of the Jeffco Economic Development Corp.
In 2014, 2,213 jobs were retained and created in Jeffco, and new capital investments totaled $488 million, he said during a recent presentation to the Jeffco Open Space Advisory Committee. Other good news is that the unemployment rate in Jeffco has dropped to 4.4 percent.
An enhanced website for Jeffco Open Space provides easier access to information about county parks and trails.
Clicking on new drop-down boxes on the Jeffco Parks and Trails page brings users to a comprehensive list of parks and amenities they offer, as well as photos.
"We've got more photographs and have added a horizontal navigational tool," said Thea Rock, spokeswoman for Jeffco Open Space.
The Web page also has information about activities and events at parks, trail rating guides and alerts about closures.
A victimless crime
SOUTH PIERSON STREET — Stolen from the yard before dawn on Dec. 21: a flock of 25 pink flamingo lawn ornaments. Potential suspects include the Miami Syndicate and the West Dorado Neighborhood Improvement Association.
All the linens and housewares they can eat
The board of Littleton's urban renewal authority is searching for two new members.
Jim Taylor, chairman of the board for Littleton Invests For Tomorrow and a former City Council member, announced his resignation at the end of the LIFT board's Jan. 8 meeting. Board member Dale Flowers also announced his resignation Jan. 8, because he had moved outside Littleton about a year ago.
South Jeffco residents are being warned not to leave their pets alone, even in a fenced-in area, after coyotes killed three area dogs since the first of the year.
Carla Zinanti, the sheriff's animal control manager, said the increase in attacks has been centered near South Kipling Street and West Belleview Avenue, and also near Lilley Gulch Park. Zinanti said seven dogs had been attacked since Jan. 1, with three of them killed.
Sean Renfro built a reputation as a person of character who valued his family, faith and his duty as a member of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
But it was Renfro's sense of humor and his smile that defined him, according to friends and family who spoke at his funeral Monday at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada.
Jeffco said goodbye to four county officials last week in the final days of their terms, with a new wave of elected officials set to be sworn in Jan. 13.
Sheriff Ted Mink, Clerk and Recorder Pam Anderson and Assessor Jim Everson all were term-limited and did not run in last November's election. County Commissioner Faye Griffin will forgo her final two years on the commission to take over as the newly elected clerk and recorder. All four are Republicans.
Jeffco's county commissioners have decided to halve the pay for a position that requires little work and that the county doesn't really need.
No candidates ran for county surveyor in the November election, and the antiquated position is rarely called on to do actual work. But current state law requires the commissioners to appoint someone to the position within 90 days of it becoming vacant.

JinkoSolar Holding Co. (JKS:US), the eighth- biggest solar module maker, said it will increase the scale of plants it's building in China by five- to 10-fold this year to make up for slowing sales in Europe.
"China will be a very, very important market in 2012," Chief Executive Officer Chen Kangping said in an April 13 interview. "We'll develop the projects mainly in the west."
The company last year built solar farms with a total capacity of less than 100 megawatts. It expects its domestic market to account for as much as 12 percent of sales this year, doubling from a year earlier, Chen said.
Solar manufacturers are suffering from a supply glut as European governments cut subsidies for renewable energy. Panel prices have tumbled by 51 percent from a year ago in March to 87 U.S. cents a watt, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
"Manufacturers currently have no room for further declines in solar-module prices in terms of gross margins," Chen said. The price decline is likely to slow, as the industry "reshuffles the deck" and depletes inventories, he said.
JinkoSolar had a negative 4.4 percent gross margin in the fourth quarter compared with 3.7 percent a quarter earlier.
The company expects shipments to rise by 50 percent in 2012 from 950.5 megawatts last year even though global demand may not grow as strongly, Chen said. "Some will gain share as others shut down."
"We won't see equilibrium between supply and demand in the next 12 months," Chen said. "It's hard for solar-product makers to make profits this year."
Chen expects returns to rise enough in the next 2-1/2 years that more companies take an interest in the solar industry and existing companies expand their plants.

Thank You Sonoma County!
Dear Friends,
All your hard work and support paid off last night as we won with an overwhelming majority of votes.
I want to express my deep appreciation to the voters of Sonoma County and the hundreds of supporters who worked so hard to win this campaign.
I am also grateful for my colleagues – the professionals that work day in and day out in the District Attorney's office. They have inspired the confidence in our office that the voters expressed so resoundingly in this election.
Thank you for the honor of serving a second term as your District Attorney.
Warmest regards,
KSRO Debate
If you missed the most recent debate on KSRO, check out this link. You'll get a good snapshot of what's at stake in this election and why your help has been so important. Thanks again to Steve Jaxon of KSRO's The Drive and Sonoma State University Professor David McCuan for putting on a great debate.
Endorsed by my colleagues
I was thrilled and honored to open the paper today and read a wonderful LTE from my dear friend and colleague Bill Reed. Bill's career serving this county began in the Petaluma Police Dept. back when chickens outnumbered residents and he has yet to stop contributing!
Re-elect Ravitch
EDITOR: As a retired Sonoma County district attorney investigator, I recall when Jill Ravitch began work as a Sonoma County deputy district attorney. It didn't take long for investigators to realize Ravitch vigorously prosecuted the criminal cases she was assigned. Ravitch prepared her cases for trial very thoroughly. Ravitch also showed compassion and caring for the victims and witnesses she encountered. As an investigator, it gave me the opportunity to assist Ravitch as she prepared the case for trial.
Due to a tragedy in my life, I again came in contact with Ravitch. She told me of a program that her office was responsible for in Sonoma County called the Family Justice Center. She explained how the many agencies work together to assist victims of spousal abuse, sexual assault, elder abuse and many more. This agency was created through the hard work and foresight of Ravitch and others.
With 36 years of law enforcement experience in Sonoma County, I now volunteer my time at this agency. Putting this agency together was long overdue, and Ravitch made it happen. Jill Ravitch has my vote, and many others I know will vote to re-elect her as district attorney.
Santa Rosa
Early voting has begun!
Absentee voting is happening as we speak so remember to fill out for Absentee Ballots or vote on June 3rd! Our first mailer has been going out all over the county! For all of you who haven't received it, click the thumbnail below to check it out!
Windsor Hometown Heroes Parade

Endorsed by the Community
Yesterday I woke up to find a great Letter to the Editor from one of my former peers in the DA's office. He was with the office over 20 years and was our environmental prosecutor the entire time. I'm honored to have the support of this dedicated advocate for our environment who spent over 20 years working to protect our natural resources and keep Sonoma County beautiful. Thanks again Jeffrey!
Re-elect Ravitch
EDITOR: I support District Attorney Jill Ravitch in her bid for re-election. Ravitch came to the District Attorney's Office more than 20 years ago and quickly earned the reputation as a tough prosecutor keenly interested in seeing that justice was served and victims of crime were vindicated.
As a former deputy district attorney in the environmental and consumer law division, I, like many in our office, was a beneficiary of her skill and experience when her counsel was sought. I know Ravitch is keenly aware of the need for and has demonstrated the commitment to enforce the laws that protect not only persons and property but also the environment.
Our district attorney now faces difficult decisions on several controversial cases. It is vitally important to have an official, like Ravitch, who will make those decisions free from politics or pressure — be it from the public or from law enforcement.
Ravitch has demonstrated the honesty, integrity, independence and competence that we deserve and demand of our district attorney. For these reasons, I will vote to re-elect Jill Ravitch.
Come join us!
Had a great time walking neighborhoods in Oakmont with friends and volunteers. The weather was great, I got to meet a lot of new people, and was able to talk about all the successes we've had in the office! If you like walking, let us know and we can walk neighborhoods together!
Butter & Eggs
Had a wonderful time at the Petaluma Butter & Eggs Parade over the weekend! Thanks again to all the people who came out helped make the day fun for all!

I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Press Democrat. Thank you so much and I look forward to building upon my first term.

Endorsed by the WPC-SC
I am honored to have just received the endorsement of the Women's Political Caucus of Sonoma County. As the first woman elected district attorney in Sonoma County, and only one of 12 in the state, this endorsement is special to me.

Over half a million dollars from this suit will go right back into protecting Sonoma County consumers from fraud, false advertising, and other illegal practices.
Safe Neighborhoods
My goal is to make Sonoma County the safest county I can – and one way to do that is engage people before they commit crimes. I believe a collaborative approach to community programs can bring better results. Check out this article about our new program, Safe Neighborhoods D.A.
Another voter!
Just turned 18 and registered to vote!
Happy birthday and thanks for the support Reni!
Good Editorial in the PD Today
There is absolutely no place for politics in this investigation.
Supplement Maker Ordered to Pay Fine
This article highlights another outstanding outcome achieved by our consumer fraud prosecution unit. The $95,000 gained from that settlement will help us fight consumer fraud and protect the residents of Sonoma County.
Endorsed by Kamala Harris
What an honor! As a career prosecutor and former district attorney, Attorney General Kamala Harris understands the important role that district attorneys play in keeping their counties safe. She has been a strong partner with local law enforcement and I am grateful for her vote of confidence in the work that we are doing in our local DA's office.
Endorsed by the CBSC
Sonoma County voters elected me in 2010 to reform a troubled agency — and that's exactly what I did. I put safety first and improved accountability, focused scarce resources on crimes having the greatest impact and expanded services for crime victims and their families. I know that to build a strong economy, improve our quality of life and create a brighter future for all of us, we must keep Sonoma County safe. I am proud to have the endorsement of the Coalition for a Better Sonoma County.
P.S. If you missed my conversation with Steve Jaxon on KSRO's The Drive, you can listen to the full interview here. As usual, we had a great time discussing what's been going on in the office as well as the campaign!

I also want to give a big shout out to the Pasta King, Sunce Winery and Worth our Weight for making our event so successful!
KSRO Interview
I appreciated Steve Jaxon's interview on KSRO on the legal process in place to investigate the tragic shooting of Andy Lopez. I reaffirmed my commitment to a fair process & full explanation for the community when I release my decision. You can listen here:
Democratic Party BBQ
I attended the Democratic Party's BBQ at Howarth Park and joined many others to discuss the issues of the day and upcoming campaigns, including my own!
It was wonderful to see so many powerful women at the BBQ, including Supervisors Zane and Gorin as well as Lisa Maldonado, Executive Director of North Bay Labor Council.
Pitching In
I enjoyed spending time being part of the the United Way Day of Caring project today. I helped Habitat for Humanity organize boxes of light fixtures that were donated. Thanks to all of those who took time out of their busy lives to give back to this vibrant community!
Supervisor David Rabbitt and County Administrator Veronica Ferguson
joined in the effort.
A Call For Sensible Gun Legislation
I joined Supervisor Shirlee Zane at rally to support Congressman Mike Thompson's effort to pass sensible gun use legislation at Courthouse Square.
The gathering was sponsored by Organizing for America, and many came out to call for federal legislation requiring a background check prior to the purchase of a firearm, as well as a ban on assault weapons.
Felony Convictions at a 10-Year High
I was proud to read about the outstanding work my office has been doing in the Press Democrat. Though only a small part of the picture, this report by the Attorney General confirms that we are making progress. As I said in the article, we can always do better. Thanks for your support.
A fun day at the Cotati Kids' Parade
Thank you!
The Re-Elect Jill Ravitch for District Attorney Campaign Kickoff was a rousing success!

Last nightŌĆÖs game between the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Georgia Bulldogs was not a pretty one, but the Hogs pulled out a two-point victory at home thanks once again to late-game heroics by BJ Young. The win moves ArkansasŌĆÖ record to 17-9 on the season and 8-5 in Southeastern Conference play. I think that makes Arkansas a team on the verge of the NCAA tournament right now, even though I and many other people wrote them off as dead after the loss at Vanderbilt. If they can continue to win their home games...
This time of year can be a hectic time for coaches. The regular season ended yesterday and everyone is gearing up for next weekŌĆÖs district tournaments. A win or two there and itŌĆÖs on to regional where a good showing puts them in the state tournament. For many players, tournaments can be a stressful time. They know a loss (at certain points of the district and regional tournaments) will mean the end of the season. That takes on added significance for the seniors on the team, as a loss means the end of their career.
The Magnet Cove Junior Lady Panthers basketball team will end its season playing for the district championship today. On Thursday, the Junior Lady Panthers defeated Mount Ida by the score of 41-28.
(For full story pick up a copy of Saturday's MDR)
The Boys and Girls Club of Malvern and Hot Spring County is holding registration for its upcoming girlsŌĆÖ softball season from now until Friday, March 8. Softball is for girls playing ages 5 and 6 (6U league) and 7 and 8 (8U league). Playing age is the age of the child on Dec. 31, 2012. Potential coaches must apply (pass background check) and attend the organizational meeting in late March. All teams are formed and players assigned to teams by the Boys and Girls Club.
The Boys and Girls Club of Malvern and Hot Spring County is holding registration for its upcoming T-ball and soccer seasons from now until Friday, March 8. Dues and fees are to be paid at registration, and a copy of the birth certificate should be presented for verification. T-ball is for boys and girls playing ages 4-6. Playing age is the age of the child on April 30, 2013. Potential coaches must apply (pass background check) and attend the organizational meeting in March. All teams are formed and players are assigned to teams by the Boys and Girls Club.
The Boys and Girls Club of Malvern and Hot Spring County basketball season reached its regular season conclusion on Saturday, setting the stage for tomorrowŌĆÖs tournament. In true late-season basketball tradition, there were some upsets to be found on the last day of the season. In the first and second grade division, the day started off with Super Bubbles facing off against Donut Hole. Donut Hole took an early lead and never looked back, cruising to a 30-14 victory.
After the events of this week, I think it can safely be said that there is parity in college basketball. Ok, so ArkansasŌĆÖ win over No. 2 Florida was a big deal, but it wasnŌĆÖt that terribly shocking. After all, the Hogs do tend to do quite well in Bud Walton Arena. No, this revelation came to me last night while watching one of the weirder games IŌĆÖve seen in a while.
For the full column, see Friday's Malvern Daily Record.
The Malvern Little League will hold a board meeting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12 at the College of the Ouachitas.

"What is more important to me are the breaks I take during the day while writing."
By Randy Rudder | Published: June 19, 2013

"What is more important to me are the breaks I take during the day while writing."
"It's really not the writing that takes me a long time; it's the ideation, and the underlying architecture that has to feel solid before I can even start cloaking it in words."
"Writing has become for me a type of meditation, that hour or two that I spend in the mornings every day. I wouldn't want to give that up even if I couldn't publish books or I had never sold my book."
"The first draft is like throwing a hunk of clay onto the wheel. It's literally getting down the raw material, and revision is my way of going back to shape something from that."
The author of The Invisible Bridge shares her creative process.

I'm happier just having read it!,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Hardcover)
Gretchen Rubin is pretty happy. She's got a wonderful husband, two great little girls, they are financially secure and she's doing what she loves- writing. One day on the bus she comes to a realization- she's happy, but she could be happier. This realization leads her to create a "happiness project"- 12 months of tasks and resolutions that will (hopefully) result in her being the happiest Gretchen that she can be. Armed with her personal 12 commandments and her secrets of adulthood, she sets out on her year-long quest for personal happiness, and "The Happiness Project" is born.
I loved this book! I managed to pick up a lot of great ideas from the tasks that Gretchen set out to do. I learned the most from the months of January (Boost Energy), February (Remember Love), April (Parenthood), and July (Buy Some Happiness). After reading January's chapter I was inspired to organize my home more effectively, February's chapter inspired me to nag my husband less and to be thankful for the great person that he is, April reminded me to be more patient with my frustrating, aggravating, yet amazing children, and July inspired me to make some more concrete goals when it comes to saving money. Another thing that I liked about the book was that Gretchen never tries to be anything that she isn't. In fact, one of her commandments is "Be Gretchen". When some of her friends tell her that she should take up meditiation, or that she should see a therapist, and those suggestions don't resonate with her personally, she just doesn't do them. She's not saying that they don't work, just that they don't work for her. She doesn't encourage anyone to do "her" happiness project, but to do one that works for "them". She also openly admits when she fails, giving her a human quality that I really appreciated. She's not saying, "I did it, and I did it perfectly", she's saying, "I did it, and sometimes I failed, but in the end, I felt happier". I did have a few minor problems with this book: she often incorporates comments from her happiness blog into the book. They were relevant, but truthfully if I wanted to read the comments of her blog readers, I would probably just read her blog. They got a little repetitive. I also found that things dragged a little in the chapters for the months of September, October, and November. I found that the things that she was saying were similar to those things said in previous months, so I skimmed those chapters a bit. These were minor problems, though, and they really didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book. A great read- and yes, I feel happier just because I read it...

Hollow and unengaging,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Paperback)
The idea of this book seemed at first compelling enough for me to buy it, but as I went from chapter to chapter, I found it more difficult to read on. Although no doubt genuine, the author comes across as a bit self-obsessed. Now, in all fairness there's a bit of that in all of us, especially if you're going to buy this book. You're most likely buying it because you're searching for ways to increase your own happiness. Fair enough. Overall though, the writing is unengaging and like listening to someone talk about themselves for hours - just not in an interesting way. Phrases like 'studies show' and quoting statistics were already old by page 40.
Chapter after chapter, I kept giving it a try and ultimately grew bored of her rambling. And yet, this is meant to be a #1 Best Seller? That's definitely a sign of the politics involved in choosing what's a best seller because it's definitely not based on the writing style. If you want to read something that is introspective and yet eloquently written, read Thoreau, Krishnamurti or Gibran. After giving up on the book, I researched the author (and found out that she is the daughter of Robert Rubin, the 70th United States Secretary of the Treasury during both the first and second Clinton administrations), and both she and her husband are multimillionaires. I'm not suggesting that if one is swimming in cash that they don't have a right to search for happiness, but at the same time, when _that_ privileged, with hired help keeping your house clean and minding your children, I can't say I feel too much empathy as you stare out your New York high society home, trying to find ways to cope with how difficult your life seems to be. I applaud what are probably true efforts in finding meaning and happiness but reading someone's ramblings, basically a published journal, can be painful and dull. After a short while, each chapter was a let down. The insights seemed shallow and unmoving. I can't help but feel her financial and political status was the driving force behind this being considered a #1 Best Seller, because, quite plainly, I don't think it would have attained that status based solely on the merit of the writing.

Riding the fence-hence the 3 or 2.5 to be more exact.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Paperback)
I decided not to finish it. It maybe wasnt what I expected or hoped for more than anything. I found her to be a bit controlling and self absorbed but I am glad for her that her project worked to make her a happier person. It was just not what I expected. It seems though that others really liked it. The idea of creating a happiness project is good and I probably got more out of the title than the actual book itself. I am riding the fence on this one I guess and wishing I had saved the money for a Dalia lama book. :)

Are you happy?,
By Princess Lucy (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Hardcover)
Something that I've contemplated for some time is that it seems to me that with the advent of cell phones and instant communication, it is difficult for the average person to exist in the here and the now, to fully appreciate what is happening right in front of them. The concept of happiness is something you are meant to achieve one day, something you'll have once you accomplish "blank".
At first I wasn't buying in to author Gretchen Rubin's systematic approach to achieving happiness. But when I considered my feelings about being in the here and now, I realized that a systematic approach may be exactly what people need to recognize happiness in their lives. In "The Happiness Project", you will accompany Gretchen Rubin through her one year of making room for more happiness in her life. Whether you chose to follow the author's monthly resolutions or chose your own, you will find that you can make room for more happiness in your life, that you can and probably are happy today. You will discover that you can achieve happiness by deciding to be happy. Brilliant!

More Bookish Thoughts...,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Paperback)
"Act the way you want to feel." Deceptively simple advice but the most profound concept I took away from "The Happiness Project." In self-help's newest "do something off-beat for a year and write a book about it" memoir, Gretchen Rubin dismisses the notion that increased happiness only comes from sweeping life changes. Instead, the author creates a few resolutions per month based on a specific theme (marriage, money, spirituality etc) and chronicles her struggles to make small adjustments to her everyday attitude.
Rubin writes in an appealing, conversational style and shares many thought-provoking tips on fostering a greater sense of well-being: cut people slack, tackle a nagging task, laugh every day. She backs up her anecdotes with extensive research and always maintains that what makes HER happy won't necessarily make others happy. Thus, she encourages independence in her readers, guiding us to improve our own unique lives instead of simply following her model. Responsibly, she also makes it clear that she offers no magic formula; her book will not treat depression. Unfortunately, though, a lot of Rubin's memoir feels both tedious and obvious; by the April chapter I started skimming and didn't really stop. Cliches such as, "you can't change your partner, you can only change yourself" crop up all too often and epiphanies like using file boxes to store cards and photos seem ridiculous coming from an intelligent, organized woman who used to clerk for Sandra Day O'Connor. Finally, much of the book's latter half consists of comments that internet users have left on The Happiness Project's blog. A few insightful thoughts from others may have added interest but the larger volume only disrupted Rubin's flow in the name of filling space.

A Kitchen Table Conversation,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Hardcover)
She tells her story with honesty, insight and humour. I felt like I was sitting with her and hearing her talk over coffee in my kitchen.
A great read. Worthwhile for any woman in a hectic life wanting to create some time to reflect on how to make life a little easier and well - happier!!

By Al Sibilo (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Paperback)
I tried. I really did. But this is the first book (out of some 100+ books I've purchased in the last 10 years) which I've decided is just not worth my time to read --- or even to save to read at another time.
I just read some of the other reviews to see if others felt the same way, and was not surprised to find out that many did. I was also not surprised to discover the author's background and socio-economic situation. She converses like a spoiled socialite with too much time (and money) on her hands. I'm not sure 99% of us can relate.

An inspiring story with great tips to find/maintain a happy life...,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Hardcover)
I picked up this book because I wanted something light to read as a change from murder mysteries. It turned out to be a wonderful find. I was skeptical at first because I thought that it would be boring to read about someone's journey and self-analysis to make herself more happy, especially when the person in question seems to "have it all". It seemed just so pointless and self-indulgent. Well, she was right when she says at the beginning of the book that we can learn much from others around us, including how to achieve a happier life. It's very well written, it's engaging and the tone is light, yet fairly deep. Depending of where you're at in you life, some chapters won't be relevant or may be less inspiring but, no matter what, every chapter seems to contain observations that will make you pause -- assuming, of course, that you are open-minded and interested in self-growth. I buy very few books (I'm a faithful library supporter!) but this is one book that I will buy and re-read. It's jam-packed with good common sense tips and reminders that we too often ignore. I will also offer it to my friends and family to inspire them to find ways to enjoy life more and be happier. I haven't read many self-help books so it's hard to compare it but, I give it 5 stars (excellent).

A little on the snoozy side,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Hardcover)
I personally just couldn't get into this. I took it out from the library and tried to read it a few times. I think the concept behind it is good, but after 10 pages I was already having a hard time staying interested as the writing itself wasn't especially engaging. She had some good ideas, but I think this could have been done much better.

What really makes you happy??,
This review is from: The Happiness Project (Paperback)
Found this book an easy, but enjoyable read.Full of tidbits of information and "quotable quotes". Initially intended to read one chapter a month and follow the process as she did, but then decided to speed up the process and "do my own thing" as some of her issues weren't my issues. Still all in all, found it useful, engaging, entertaining and a happy little book.

We are in the planning stages of building a new home...and DH asked me this morning, painted or stained woodwork. I am totally confused on this...one day I want painted, and then the next, stained.
What are the pros and cons of each and how did you decide? I have seen pics of stained doors and painted woodwork, but is that something that is normally done? I think I have pretty well settled for stained cherry cabinets, but the doors and woodwork are a big problem...
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by carolyn53562 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 1, 08 at 14:25
Stained can be initially more expensive than painted because you need to use nice wood for stained and can use cheaper wood or mdf for painted. However, painted can require more upkeep after it is installed (at least in our experience) because it shows dings, marks, etc., more and needs to be repainted more often than you need to refinish stained woodwork. What you chose depends upon the style of your house, what you like and budget. We have a prairie/craftsman style house, and my DH really likes stained, so stained was the obvious choice for us. They all look nice. Mixed is probably not as common as all stained or all painted, but mixed is often done where I live and looks very nice. |
We did mixed. Like carolyn said, I think it is definitely a personal preference. We have a lot of "wood" in our house, so the painted trim with the stained cabinetry, doors and window worked for us. Here is the best picture I could dig up of the combo. |
jay~ Thanks for the pic. Are your doors stained and the woodwork around them and the woodwork at the floor white? I kinda like that look.....I also like some stained, but think all of it would be too much. Do you have a fireplace? If so, how did you do that? Thanks again. |
Our current house has all paint upstairs and mostly stained downstairs. Upstairs trim and doors have been repainted three times in 22 years--one room four times. Stained woodwork has never been redone, just orange oiled twice. I love the crispness of white trim in bedrooms, but we will be going full stain in the new house! |
phoggie, Our doors are all stained. Our windows are stained. The casing around the windows and doors is painted along with the base trim. Here is a picture of our fireplace... I have lots of pictures. Just let me know if there is something in particular you are interested in... We just moved in this weekend, so please excuse the mess! j. In this pic, you can see the corner of the stained door with the painted trim. |
jay and all others~~ please post any pics you might have on your woodwork....LR, Kitchens, BD, Bath. etc....enjoy seeing them. I don't know why this is such a hard decision for me to make.....guess I like them both. Maybe I need to try to decide on how I want to go with paint colors....darker colors look better with white....light colors look better with stained....or at least, that is my thought. |
- Posted by superchick (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 08 at 10:05
I have had both and while I really like the look of both, I have to say that stained trim and woodwork has required much less maintainence (sp?) and doesn't show the dings of the vacuum cleaner and whatever else may hit it. |
- Posted by dixiedoodle (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 08 at 10:20
This is such a personal preference that pros/cons of each is actually irrelevant to the decision. You have to go with what your gut tells you. What feels better to you, what house design/style are you trying to achieve is much more important than whether or not you'll have to repaint something before you'd have to touch up the stain...IMO. Pictures such as above may help you get to the final decision though. I'd suggest touring homes and looking at design books for assistance. Also, stained cabinets and stained trim are two completely different things. I wouldn't consider having stained cabinetry and painted trim to be a "combination" of the two. Jaymielo's pics above are more reflective of a true mixture of stained/painted wood. |
- Posted by mainecoonkitty (My Page) on Tue, Sep 2, 08 at 13:37
Originally, I wanted dark wood floors and all painted trim because I loved the crispness of the contrast. Then I looked at another house that my contractor built (for something completely different) and fell in love with his use of cherry trim, doors and floors. We're building a Craftsman style farmhouse, so the stained trim makes better sense, but either would have been beautiful. The stained trim and the solid wood doors raised our costs a bit, but once I saw them, I was hooked. The best way to decide is to go tour some homes for sale during open houses or model homes and see what catches your eye. |
I think a lot depends on the color of your walls: I like a good deal of contrast between wall and trim. And wall color in turn is somewhat dependent on the ambient light level of the room: if there isn't a lot of light, I like a pale wall. Lots of light, a darker wall helps keep it from being blinding. If you have a medium tone wall color and want a dark stained wood, you'd better have a LOT of light... |
Thanks all~~ Wish I lived closer to a larger city.....all are about 2+ hours away from this small town in mid-Kansas...but the last time I talked to a builder in Topeka (and these homes were not all that spectacular), he said that he built about half stained and white cream...not any stark white anymore. I have seen some pics on the forum somewhere that shows a dark stained front door and white trim, but I don't know if the other doors are stained with white trim or not. Anyone have these? Thanks |
My house doesn't have tons of natural light. there are front windows....but also a front porch. There is a huge sunroom on the back. I do have two skylights, but they are on a northern exposure, so not a lot of direct sunlight. And I wanted rich colors on the walls....light chocolate and red for some areas. I chose white trim to help contrast the darker paint colors. I love how clean and crisp white trim looks. |
Carolyn above said it, and I'll extrapolate -- painted doors (a light color) have the big downside of showing dirt/fingerprints. If you have kids and light colored painted doors, prepare for fingerprints on all the heavily used doors like the powder, doors to the outside, pantry, etc. I love the look of stained doors with white trim. good luck. |
Ummm. Be sure your paint or stain is compatible with a marine polyurethane for the top finish. Finger- and paw-prints will wipe off easily. As far as cleaning dark/light colors, remember that opposites show up. That is, grimy fingerprints will be most noticeable on light shades and dust/pollen will be most noticeable on dark shades. Doesn't matter whether they are paint or stain, the tone will affect which sort of dirt you notice. So choose the colors you like best, but be sure to give them an easy-clean finish. |
phoggie, Sorry, I just reread your post. You weren't looking for pictures of the front door, but interior doors. Again, our interior doors are stained with pure white trim. I choose to do this because I like the way the color on the wall contrasts the trim. All these decisions are a matter of personal preference, but I know it helped me to see pictures of what others had done while I was making decisions. Good luck! Jaymie |
I like a bright house. We have lots of windows and french doors and lighter shades of paint. Only our entry door is stained, and it is in a surround-sidelights that is painted. All our doors, frames, window casings, baseboards, etc. are BM 'white linen'. We are empty nesters in a traditional style house (not craftsman, etc.). The only 'little destroyer' visiting frequently is one grandson, age 3.5. I think our less expensive but solid manufactured wood doors and our trim can be repainted many times for what we would have spent on wood worthy of staining. An FYI about your cherry kitchen cabinets: I was told they tend to darken with age. |
In the process of building a new home. We wiil have white (off white) trim and windows will have white grills. I am trying to decide what to do with the fireplace that will be between two large windows (about 7 ft tall). I initially thought painted to match the wood trim, but fell in love with a mahogany stained fireplace. This will be an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and the great room will be open to the kitchen, dining area. Kitchen cabinets are cherry with a darker cinnamon stain and a glaze. Would a stained fireplace look OK or should I stick with painted. I would appreciate any input. |
We are doing painted. I wanted a white kitchen all along and when my builder told me that painted cabinets were less expensive than stained, it sealed the deal. |

An unsmiling Luc Jacquet leans across the table for dramatic effect. He is about to make a shocking statement. And what he has to say appears to be serious. But how could he possibly be serious?
How could the filmmaker have the nerve to claim that he was not surprised by the success of his movie "March of the Penguins"? How could he say that he wasn't surprised by its worldwide gross of $106 million, making it the second biggest documentary of all time behind Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11"?
How could he say he wasn't surprised that his little film about the breeding rituals of emperor penguins in Antarctica would turn Hollywood on its collective ear?
"The word 'surprise' is not powerful enough to describe my reaction to what happened to this film," he says.
In case you missed it when it hit theaters earlier this year, "March of the Penguins" follows the agonizingly slow annual migration of one colony of emperor penguins across the ice to a favorite breeding area.
Buffeted by 100-mile-anhour winds and chilled by a temperature that dips to 37 degrees below zero, the female bird lays a single egg, which is transferred to the care of the male penguin. The male sits on the egg for the next two months, while the female makes the long trek back to the feeding areas. Once hatched, the baby penguins can survive only a short time on the nutritional reserves of the males, who don't eat for the entire two-month period.
It becomes a life-anddeath race against the clock — will the females make it back in time to relieve the males and feed the chicks? With Morgan Freeman's narration, it seems even more dramatic than it already is.
The 37-year-old Jacquet, a former biologist from a small town outside Lyon, France, didn't even know how to operate a camera until he joined a documentary film crew in 1992. For "Penguins," He spent 13 months on the ice with his crew of five.
Once it was finished, he showed it to friends. He said he trusted these friends to be honest with him, and they told him they loved the movie. He still wasn't
But audiences responded. "March of the Penguins" became one of France's five biggest films of the year — of all films released, not just documentaries.
After seeing the film at the Sundance Film Festival, Warner Bros. bought the rights to distribute the film in the United States, and immediately pumped an additional $600,000 into the post-production budget (the original budget was $2.4 million) to add some music but, more important, to change the narration.
In the original French version, the story is told from the perspective of one of the penguins. Freeman was brought in to give a more traditional narration. American audiences liked what they saw — to the tune of $77 million.
"I don't really know why it was so successful," he says. "There was an element of magic to this film. It was sprinkled with fairy dust."
Jacquet said he has not been back to Antarctica since he completed filming in December.
"But I want to go back," he says. "I want to go back if for no better reason than to find some peace."
Clearly, the last year has been as grueling as it has been triumphant for the filmmaker. But he knows he can't really go back to Antarctica just yet. He probably has someplace he needs to be on March 5.
"March of the Penguins" is a likely contender in this year's documentary Oscar race.
"The whole notion of an Oscar is so imposing," he said. "It is such a beautiful award, almost a coronation, that I can't take that intellectual road right now.
"My film has already been embraced by the world. That is enough. I'm not sure it needs an Oscar. But if we do end up going to the Oscars, it would be like going to the ball, and our little film would be Cinderella."

Finally, a reasonably objective assessment on immigration from the Economist. Such a refreshing change of tone compared to the hysterical accusations by some that the United States is in the grip of "racism" or "nativism" whenever it campaigns against illegal immigration.
I will quibble only a little with the quote "So the problem with illegal immigration is not that it's illegal, exactly, or even that immigration itself is undesired. The problem is that the state wants the capacity to select and steer the immigrants it receives." Generally, I agree that this is completely true, except that "illegal" is a legitimate concern by many -- some may think the notion of "fairness" is a little old-fashioned, but some of us believe that tolerating an illegal border crosser is fundamentally unfair to those immigrants who both came here legally, as well as those intending immigrants who are patiently following the rules and waiting their turn in line.
My father had to follow a host of rules, fill out a legion of forms, and wait patiently to get his green card, all the while staying legal -- why should someone else be able to selfishly circumvent the rules and jump ahead in the queue.

A new study comparing gastric bypass and gastric banding, two common types of weight-loss surgery, found that those who undergo gastric bypass lose more weight, but are also more likely to experience complications.
0 comments - Posted Dec 6, 2014
Not only does gastric bypass help patients drop excess weight, it can also lower the risk of a variety of health problems, especially in those with type 2 diabetes.

As addictive as its predecessor, Untrue confirms that Burial possesses not just the keen ear of a Lee Perry or Martin Hannett.
It seems as though the quick release of Untrue restricted Burial from burying his emotions underneath layers of alternatively sparse and overwhelming production as he did on his debut, resulting in an album that instead wears them unabashedly on its sleeve.
Untrue is complex, stark, tender, blurred and breathtaking. Burial has managed the impossible and improved on his faultless debut.
Burbling electronic ticktocks vie with a carillon of bell simulacra, and rarely have vinyl crackle or laser malfunction generated more musicality.
Untrue is a devastatingly accurate depiction of urban UK--plugging the listener into the matrix of some godforsaken south London satellite, with its identikit fast food joints, repellent inhabitants and anonymous decaying sprawl.
What gives this album more depth is the focus, the rolling symmetry and cinema.
The anonymous producer behind the work of Burial is letting his dubstep sounds progress and on his impressive sophomore album he can be found chasing the transient hints of beauty to be found in the confines of urban desolation.
If you can appreciate the style of dubstep employed by Burial, it's easy to fall head over heels for Untrue, an album on which there are absolutely no mainstream-crossover concessions, no ego trips, and no willful stylistic variation--an album where the music, a singular style of it, takes center stage with no distractions or sideshows, where there's never the urge to skip to the next track, because they're all part and parcel of the greater whole.
Untrue deepens and expands his emotional range. [Feb 2008, p.92]
Untrue crackles with high-tension, excitement and yearning.
Even as someone who knows very little about electronic music, this album is affecting. You will never get the urge to skip a song and you will desire and covet every sound that's emitted from this album because they make up one tremendous, collective entity in Untrue.
Burial has transcended his dubstep origins, belonging to a Gothic tradition that takes in Massive Attack and even 4AD at their most grandiosely despondent. [Jan 2008, p.53]
The human voice, the most striking change in Burial's sound, renders Untrue superior to its predecessor.
Needless to say, Untrue shatters any ideas of a sophomore slump.
Top-heavy with sad string passages and mournful vocal loops, Untrue is an album meant to be heard at home, in the car, on headphones-- his songs feel almost like beautiful secrets being whispered to a listener.
The album works as an ambient whole, its fog-bank synths, yearning vocal slivers and stoic basslines filling the room with melancholy.
Untrue lives in the present, its more complex moods showcasing the emotional range that marks Burial out as more than just another bloke with a computer. [Jan 2008, p.108]
Machine music this unrelentingly intimate is worth the attention it requires.
Burial has concocted a noir-ish sound that's as powerful as it is atmospheric.
That emptiness tempts a listener in, and puts you in its place--you, in a sense, step into the record's point of view. This invitation to intimacy is a powerful move that most club music is simply incapable of.
While the percussion-free 'Endorphin' and 'Dog Shelter' paint haunting pictures of isolation and heartache, a warm and generous humanity runs just beneath the surface. It's this quality that lends the propulsive woodblock throb of the closing 'Raver' its muted euphoria.
Why anyone would want to be subjected to such gloom is a good question, except that Burial is a witch with the kind of drum programming that leaves no choice in the matter.
Untrue is altogether warmer than its predecessor. [Jan 2008, p.87]

I have to stop looking at this thread or my Aeronaut savings fund is not going to survive much longer. :cool:
Great info, moriond! Thanks!
Good luck!
That's a great idea!
I use one in my Synapse 25. Fits great in the front bottom pocket and really helps give it some structure.
I don't know if this will help you or not, but I have the Invellop cover on my mini and it fits in the cache just fine. Maybe a little snug, but no issues.
Amazon.com: INVELLOP BLACK Leatherette...
What a great post!
I've been contemplating the WF for a while now to be my primary EDC that I can throw my gym clothes in as well, but will still work for short trips. This helps a ton!

Freudian Slip for the Synapse 25.
And I like the range bag and coyote Synapse 25 ideas as well. :)
I have an Invellop leatherette case on my mini and it fits in the cache. It's snug, but still works great.
Can't wait!
Great choice! That's the color combo I have as well.
I carry a camelbak groove and a Zojirushi tuff mug in mine at the same time. Works pretty good.
I'd think the 40 oz hydroflask would work.
Synapse 25 is out for delivery! :)
Okay, I'm a goofball. I just re-read my original post and it should say vertical, not horizontal. I was wondering about the vertical FS fitting. :)
I don't really have any plans for it. I was just thinking it might be an option for more organization.
Good review! This has helped me in my decision process to get an aeronaut! Thanks!
Will the Horizontal Freudian Slip fit in the main compartment of the Synapse 25?
I received shipping notification today and should have my Synapse 25 on Monday!
Will the Horizontal Freudian Slip fit in the Synapse 25?

Stephen Meyer - Functional Proteins And Information For Body Plans - video
This following video is a bit more clear for explaining exactly why mutations to the DNA do not control Body Plan morphogenesis, since the mutations are the 'bottom rung of the ladder' as far as the 'higher levels of the layered information' of the cell are concerned:
Stephen Meyer on Craig Venter, Complexity Of The Cell & Layered Information
Cortical Inheritance: The Crushing Critique Against Genetic Reductionism - Arthur Jones - video
This lack of beneficial morphological novelty also includes the highly touted four-winged fruit fly mutations:
...Advantageous anatomical mutations are never observed. The four-winged fruit fly is a case in point: The second set of wings lacks flight muscles, so the useless appendages interfere with flying and mating, and the mutant fly cannot survive long outside the laboratory. Similar mutations in other genes also produce various anatomical deformations, but they are harmful, too. In 1963, Harvard evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr wrote that the resulting mutants "are such evident freaks that these monsters can be designated only as 'hopeless.' They are so utterly unbalanced that they would not have the slightest chance of escaping elimination through natural selection." - Jonathan Wells
Darwin's Theory - Fruit Flies and Morphology - video
Many times evolutionists will mention evo-devo (Evolutionary Developmental Biology), or HOX genes, to try to support the Darwinian claim that minor changes/mutations to DNA can drive major morphological novelty, yet, in this following comment, from a 2005 Nature review article, evolutionary geneticist Jerry Coyne expressed strong skepticism at the proposed mechanism of 'gene switches' for evo-devo:
"The evidence for the adaptive divergence of gene switches is still thin. The best case involves the loss of protective armor and spines in sticklebacks, both due to changes in regulatory elements. But these elements represent the loss of traits, rather than the origin of evolutionary novelties...We now know that Hox genes and other transcription factors have many roles besides inducing body pattern, and their overall function in development - let alone in evolution - remains murky."
Here is a more thorough critique of evo-devo:
Nature's "Gems": Microevolution Meets Microevolution - Casey Luskin - August 2010
As well, recent 'cloning studies' give evidence against DNA/Genetic reductionism:
"There is now considerable evidence that genes alone do not control development. For example when an egg's genes (DNA) are removed and replaced with genes (DNA) from another type of animal, development follows the pattern of the original egg until the embryo dies from lack of the right proteins. (The rare exceptions to this rule involve animals that could normally mate to produce hybrids.) The Jurassic Park approach of putting dinosaur DNA into ostrich eggs to produce a Tyrannosaurus rex makes exciting fiction but ignores scientific fact."
The Design of Life - William Dembski, Jonathan Wells Pg. 50
The Case Against a Darwinian Origin of Protein Folds - Douglas Axe - 2010
Excerpt Pg. 11: "Based on analysis of the genomes of 447 bacterial species, the projected number of different domain structures per species averages 991. Comparing this to the number of pathways by which metabolic processes are carried out, which is around 263 for E. coli, provides a rough figure of three or four new domain folds being needed, on average, for every new metabolic pathway. In order to accomplish this successfully, an evolutionary search would need to be capable of locating sequences that amount to anything from one in 10^159 to one in 10^308 possibilities, something the neo-Darwinian model falls short of by a very wide margin."
