Hey my name is Nick Please check out my tumblr I post there way more than I update my port here. http://nicknemphos.tumblr.com Sort of revamping things here at the moment and excising some older work that isn't quite representative of my current work...again...hit the tumblr. I am currently available for limited tf with select models. -------- I'm knee deep in my polaroid project that doesn't seem to want to end. I'm shooting my entire stock of Polaroid spectra film this year and if we shoot together I'd love to have everyone I work with be a part of it. I'm hoping to compile them into a cohesive whole eventually.

Bitter board stoush bleeds TVN of profits
PUBLISHED: 08 Apr 2013 00:08:43 | UPDATED: 08 Apr 2013 10:46:16PUBLISHED: 08 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 08 Apr 2013John Stensholt and Fiona Carruthers
Ongoing boardroom infighting at the troubled Thoroughbred VisioN (TVN) network is set to cost the industry-owned company up to $20 million in profits this financial year.
A stalemate on the board – which is split evenly between Victorian and NSW racing club representatives – has seen several pending commercial deals grind to a halt.
TVN last year gained the potentially lucrative broadcast rights to NSW and Victorian racing. But the nation's only racing channel has been without a permanent chairman since July last year, nor has it had a chief executive, since Peter Sweeney retired at the end of March. The turnover in management, combined with board disharmony, has rendered TVN unable to commence serious negotiations on a new rights deal with the Tabcorp-owned Sky Channel, costing it serious money. It also has deals outstanding with FOXTEL Management and is yet to negotiate new advertising packages on TVN and digital streaming rights with Sky and Tabcorp Holdings and corporate bookmakers.
Sky currently pays close to $30 million to NSW and Victorian racing clubs under a deal that expired last December 31, but had to be extended until June 30 this year because TVN was unable to strike a new deal before the end of 2012 due to its ongoing management problems. It is estimated TVN could make about $50 million annually from a new deal, which now could be delayed until the end of 2013.
The network's issues peaked spectacularly in a very public fashion in March, when former News Ltd Australian chief executive John Hartigan declined the TVN chairman role after initially expressing interest. He wrote the board a damning letter, saying: "I wish the business well but feel any real growth won't be realised until the board modifies the shareholder agreement to allow an incoming chief executive and the executive team to be freed of the burdens of being tied in knots by a dysfunctional board."
The eight-member board is solely comprised of racing executives, four from NSW, including Racing NSW's chief executive Peter V'Landys and chairman John Messara, and four from Victoria. Only two votes are required to veto any decision. The chairman does not have a vote.
Mr Messara told The Australian Financial Review he could not comment on TVN's issues in detail due to the board members' code of conduct. "What I will say is that I'm hopeful and positive about the future of TVN and racing," Mr Messara said.
Many would argue it's difficult to see why, given TVN can't even seem to maximise its revenue streams, let alone stem the station's executive woes.
TVN's former management had previously estimated a new deal with Sky worth about $50 million could mean a further $10 million to $15 million to TVN's annual pre-tax earnings.
Sky may have to be granted another six-month extension to its current deal with TVN, given no talks have taken place in the past two months. One source said a deal needs to be agreed by later in April or early May, otherwise another extension is almost certainly needed. The deal would also probably need Australian Competition and Consumer Commission approval.
Sky chief operating officer Brendan Parnell recently told the Financial Review: "We look forward to getting down to negotiations when we know who we are going to negotiate with."
Another racing industry source who spoke to the Financial Review pointed out the racing channel had never even had a chief executive with mainstream television experience, while none of the board members had serious experience at board level within a major media business.
The Financial Review also understands TVN is costing itself a further $10 million in profits due to having to roll over its contract with Foxtel. TVN pays $2 million a year to be carried by the pay-TV provider until mid-2013, but management believes Foxtel should be paying TVN up to $7 million annually given the viewers and subscribers it attracts to Foxtel.
The Foxtel deal was carried over from last year until mid-2013. However, Foxtel management is believed to be getting increasingly agitated by the inaction at TVN. Indeed, Foxtel marketing does not refer to TVN in relation to any Foxtel packages available to subscribers, due to uncertainty surrounding the next deal.
Then there is the approach to advertising packages on TVN's channels.
A decision was made earlier this year to prevent corporate bookmakers – rivals to TAB owners Tabcorp – such as Sportsbet, Sportingbet Australia and tomwaterhouse.com, from advertising on TVN.
There has been no love lost between Racing NSW and the corporate bookmakers after the former won a High Court battle last year to force the bookmakers to change the methodology used to pay the racing industry fees, netting Racing NSW $100 million in the process. However, TVN management has now decided to offer a series of advertising packages to the corporate bookmakers, three at gold level and five silver. The packages would include advertising and integration in some TVN shows. The gold packages, which could be auctioned, may be worth up to $2 million each and the silver packages about $500,000.
The corporate bookmakers and the TAB are also keen to stream races digitally to their customers. Sky, on behalf of the TAB, has made the matter a requirement of any deal it strikes with TVN. It is estimated that on-selling the digital rights to the bookmakers and TAB could bring in $10 million in revenues.
Racing authorities say they are confident TVN will eventually strike all the deals. However, there are lingering fears an agreement between NSW and Victoria to aggregate broadcasting rights may collapse.

Past Conventions Archives |
This Junior Vent who has been around ventriloquism since birth is Meghan C. from Colorado. Meghan and her father Ed have attended the Vent Haven ConVENTion for many years performing in the Junior and Senior Open Mics, respectively. Meghan was even lucky enough to be photographed with Candice Bergen at the 2004 Convention. To find out more about Meghan, go to the new Junior Vent Feature on the Junior Vent University page. Thanks to the following for submitting guesses: Bob Isaacson, Doc Lowery, Matt Bronsil, and John Hopper! This month is indeed Tom Ladshaw, a familiar face in the Dealers' Room and on stage at the convention, this past July as emcee of the General Open Mic. Tom is also an avid vent historian, collector, and advisor to Vent Haven Museum. The picture to the left is called "AstroTom" from about 1965 when our young friend wanted to be among the stars, literally. His website tells us, "By the age of five, he had discovered magic (via a "My Favorite Martian" Magic Set) and ventriloquism (via a "Danny O'Day" ventriloquial doll). By the age of eight, Tom's musical interest was manifesting itself...he studied piano and later, drums and percussion (in his early 20's, he would go on to travel and perform as a musician with numerous name acts). At the age of 12, Tom became a child actor, appearing as 'Whitney' in a revival of the long-running Broadway hit, "Life with Father". The lure of variety entertainment was never far from Tom's mind, and following a successful career in music, he decided to pursue his dream of making people laugh." Thanks to all the people who emailed a guess.
April's Blast from the Past is the friendly face of Nacho Estrada. This photo was taken at the 1980 Vent Haven Convention. Many know him at Vent Haven for his warm greetings and microphone feedback noises from the back of Canterbury Hall. He is also widely known outside the Drawbridge for his drop-out prevention, drug abuse presentations and his environmental programs which he performs in both the United States and Mexico. He's performed for more than a million children during his career. Thanks to the following people for guessing:
Yes, this month is Dale Brown, pictured with his original Chip Martin. The Chip Martin on the left was made by Craig Lovik and now resides in Vent Haven Museum. The current Chip that Dale uses was made by Alan Semok and is pictured above on the right. Dale Brown started his marketing firm of Brown & Martin, Inc. in 1984, and has been a leader in this field ever since. According to his website, Dale is a "business owner, marketing professional, author, keynote speaker, ventriloquist, racecar driver, Harley Davidson enthusiast … B&M's humble leader is a busy individual. With almost 30 years of experience in marketing and public relations, both on the corporate side and the agency side, Dale is able to provide expert advice to clients. But let's face it … he's where he is today because of his wife … who tells him to go to work everyday." Thanks to everyone who guessed this month: Gary Owen Al Stevens Val Hilliker Jerry Layne Matt Bronsil Rodger Perkins Neale Bacon Ken Florentine Pete Michaels Tom Basso If you guessed Ronn Lucas, you guessed right. With those suspenders and that mustache, Ronn said, "What can I say? I was victimized by the 80s." Ronn's website biography (www.ronnlucas.com) states: "Ronn currently headlines year round t the RIO Hotel in Las Vegas in his own afternoon comedy show. He sells out 4-6 days a week...Before he evolved into this wonderful amalgamation of comedy, improv, vocalism, and audience interaction,...Ronn Lucas was just a ventriloquist. As a young man, he had put in over 13 thousand hours practicing his art. It all began when he was seven years old and discovered a TV program in which ventriloquist Edgar Bergen appeared to make a baby talk. Bergen then brought his wooden companion Charlie McCarthy to life and provided Charlie with an acerbic personality. The audience loved Edgar and Charlie, and they became one of America's most beloved duos." "Young Ronn Lucas purchased the novelty album, 'Instant Ventriloquism' by Jimmy Nelson, and spent three years diligently working on mastering the art of talking without moving his mouth...By the time he was in high school, he found he could call himself out of class by making his voice sound like an announcement on the school's PA system, 'Mr. Lucas, come to the principal's office now!' The teachers never knew." "While in college, he took his act, the traditional ventriloquist/dummy routine, and played bars, honky-tonks, nightclubs, shopping mall openings, retail store promotions, private parties, and anything else that came along. He logged 500 performances in one year. The experience was invaluable." Today, Ronn has created his own unique show and cast of characters. As you can see, success like Ronn's doesn't happen overnight and takes a tremendous amount of hard work and imagination! Thanks to the following people who submitted guesses. Everyone guessed correctly! Evelyn Hickam Liz VonSeggen Donald Woodford Tom Basso George Boosey Gary Koepke Neale Bacon Al Stevens Jerry Layne Bill DeMar Gary Owen Pete Michaels Even that wig and sunglasses can't
hide the fact that that Skinny Elvis is really Gary Owen! Gary
writes, "The
'Skinny Elvis' came about in a rather humorous way. Several years ago I
was asked to host an 'Elvis' night at the Oklahoma Opry, a family country
music show held weekly in Gary hails from Oklahoma City, OK. He serves on the Vent Haven Board of Advisors and conducted the Advanced Ventriloquism workshop at the 2006 ConVENTion. Thanks to everyone who guessed (everyone guessed correctly!). There were more responses this month than ever before! It's great to hear from people checking out the website. This month's guessers were: George Boosey, John Byrd, Barbara Guyll, Clinton Detweiler, Ray Guyll, Matt Bronsil, Bill DeMar, Pete Michaels, Val Hilliker, Al Stevens, Lee Cornell, Tom Basso, Curtis Jones, Laverne Seibert, Doc Lowery, Liz Von Seggen, and John Parisi. Yes, this is none other than Bill DeMar from 1952. Several who responded with guesses said this was too easy. Nick Pawlow and Ray Guyll even recognized that the figure was made by J.C. Turner. Thanks to Lee Cornell for submitting this picture and he even sent some Bill DeMar Fun Facts. Here they are:
1.) Built his first "Chuck Norwood" figure
in 1949, out of balsa wood, using a saw and a kitchen knife as tools.
2.) Within a weeks time in 1949, Bill
learned to perform ventriloquism well enough to win a local talent
contest with "Chuck."
3.) The Chuck Norwood he uses today is a Frank
Marshall figure, which he purchased in the 1950's.
4.) Edgar Bergen was his inspiration to become a
5.) Has been a professional ventriloquist,
entertainer and comedian since 1951.
6.) Has also performed as an impressionist, magician,
fire-eater, mind reader, hypnotist, escape artist and actor.
7.) He toured with many famous performers of his era
- Frank Gorshen, Lash LaRue, Homer and Jethro, The Ink Spots, The Four
Aces, and many more.
8.) Bill is known in the world of ventriloquism as
one of the best figure and puppet manipulators - ever. During the late
1970's and early 1980's, the Vent Haven convention awarded a "Bill
DeMar Manipulation" trophy as a prize to the contest performer
with the best manipulation skills. Jeff Dunham won several times.
9.) Bill is the author of "Ventriloquism for
Dummies and Related Subjects" book, and has produced two DVD's -
"The Bill DeMar Show" and "Bill DeMar: Upside Down and
Backwards on Ventriloquism," both available (and autographed) from
This is Bill DeMar at the Vent Haven ConVENTion 2006. Thanks to Al Stevens, Ray Guyll, Val Hilliker, Conrad Hartz, Ed Leahy, and Nick Pawlow for guessing. Yes, this month is Phillip Jones, the official photographer of the Vent Haven ConVENTion. Many of you recognized him even without his camera. Phillip is pictured above in another role for which he is well-known at our convention, and that is as host of the Hospitality Suite and member of the Hospitality Committee. Phillip, along with Bob and Marty Hamill, welcome all ventriloquists to room 181 during the convention. Be sure to stop in and say hello. Also pictured above is Phillip Jones and Bob Hamill, puppet-style. These look-alike creations were done by Verna Finly, and this was sent out as a Christmas card in 1995. Pretty amazing. February features Lynn Trefzger-Joy, pictured here with Chloe whom she introduced to vents at her lecture at the ConVENTion last year. Three year old Chloe has been a popular addition to the act when Lynn performs on the Disney family cruises. Her vocal illusion talents were first brought to national audiences on TV's popular "Star Search" and she has since performed with artists including Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano, Smothers Brothers, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Her performances are tailored for both family and adult audiences. Lynn has been a long-time attendee of the Vent Haven ConVENTions and we look forward to seeing her back in 2006 as the "Women in Vent" Panel Discussion moderator. Thanks to everyone who guessed and kudos to Tom Basso who even knew that the figure on the right was made by John Arvites. In fact, that figure now resides in Vent Haven Museum. Uncle Johnny, made in 1979 by Arvites, was awarded to Lynn at the age of 12 when she won "Most Deserving Young Vent." December Blast from the Past Revealed The December Blast from the Past was...you guessed it, Bob Rumba! The master of creative promo shots himself with his turkey figure, Tobadia Turkey. Bob was also seen at last year's convention emceeing as Barney Fife and entertaining the kids with balloon sculptures before the Saturday Night Show dressed as Charlie Chaplin. In addition, Bob can do hundreds of cartoon voices. Like most vents, he is multi-talented. Jerry Layne is a familiar face to many as everyone who responded guessed correctly. I reinserted the original signed picture as it appears in the Vent Haven archives. Jerry is well-known at the Vent Haven Convention as an excellent emcee, lecturer, and performer. Also, many of you may know him from his figures in the dealers' room. Like most people in this business, Jerry Layne is multi-talented. W.S. Berger prided himself on collecting 8x10's of ventriloquists from all over the world. He called it his Rogues Gallery. Vent Haven today carries on the tradition by displaying pictures of current vents, both amateur and professional. Have you autographed an 8x10 for Vent Haven Museum? Thanks to the following people who responded this month: Mike Brose Stacey Michaels Lee Cornell Madison Faile Liz VonSeggen Curtis Jones Pete Michaels Les Lamborn Tom Basso Several people emailed and guessed correctly. October featured our good friend, Bob Isaacson at the tender age of 16 with his J.C. Turner figure. Bob is well-known at our convention for emceeing the Junior Open Mic session and for his classes on Vent Basics. He is pictured above with his figures Orville Sweet and Speedy Wheeler. Bob made Orville Sweet in 1962 and Speedy Wheeler was made by Frank Marshall. Thanks to Tom Ladshaw for submitting this month's Mystery Vent photo. This young vent is Greg Pakarklis. Unfortunately, I was unable to get an updated picture of Greg and find out what he's doing currently. Perhaps we'll hear from him soon. This month is convention favorite Jimmy Nelson and Jeff Dunham as a young lad. As you can probably tell, the picture was taken by the outdoor pool at the Drawbridge back in the late 1970's. You might have thought the picture was taken after the Group Photo picture, but that convention tradition didn't start until the mid-1980's. The early Group Photos were taken outside London Hall until the group got too large for that location. The Group Photo has been by the outdoor pool ever since. Jeff is holding his Finis Robinson figure, Monty Ballew. Monty currently resides in Vent Haven Museum in the W.S. Berger Building (where Jacko is), so be sure to check out Monty on the tours. By the way, nice hair-do...uh, Monty. Well, this month was just too easy. The Party Team is the Hospitality Suite crew, of course! Bob Hamill emailed with the figures' names. Pictured below from left to right are J.T. & Mr. Jim Ellis, Chew Cho and Carlos Maldonaldo, Clyde and Bob Hamill, Phillip Jones with Hogeye. This year will be their 21st year in suite 181. Congratulations on a great tradition of hosting the party room. Anyone planning to attend the conVENTion this year, be sure to stop by the Hospitality Suite, especially if it's your first time at the conVENTion. It's a great place to meet other vents casually and talk shop in comfort, plus they provide yummy snacks! Thanks, Bob, for letting us know who the wooden guys are and for continuing a terrific tradition at our conVENTion! That's Al Getler pictured above with his three characters at the time. Here's what he writes about the picture: I want to say this picture was taken about 1980 at
a playground across the street from the church where I was working at as a
Youth Minister. The horrid looking monkey was my first entry into using a
monkey character. Each has never had a name, always been just 'Monkey' or
'Monkee'. I made this puppet from a carnival stuffed animal. Today's
monkey is a Mary Ann Taylor puppet. The bird puppet was named Jay Bird and
he was purchased from Maher Studios. Floyd, my Semok figure, is the sole
survivor in the shot. This is about the time he joined the act. That is a group of Naval Reserves that were on their way to Iraq. This was the second wave of the unit and the second time I performed for the families as they spent their informational day on what to expect there and how to cope at home. One fun thing is that for two of the guys, nicknames that Floyd called them in the act stuck and became their names while in Iraq. I am told that several other lines became running gags as well. I have had a good relationship with the government's DSCC (Defense Supply Center, Columbus) and the Naval base (logistics) in Columbus where I've not only entertained, but have spoken on management and leadership to their leaders. Great job, Al! Thanks! That bearded face this month is none other than Alan Semok, the Dummy Doctor. Alan is pictured with the original Howdy Doody which he restored. Read his story below: "He first came for a short visit for minor work in 1990, prior to a rare TV appearance. The boy arrived here again in April of 1995, showing the signs of numerous temporary emergency repairs and hurried patch-jobs and touch-ups, not to mention two fairly recent total repaintings that just didn't do him justice. Howdy had been refurbished and repaired over the years with little sensitivity to his historical "look". After some very thorough research and careful preparation (using scores of vintage photographs, and after numerous telephone conversations with the original artists who created him), the lad was carefully restored (preserving the original elements) to the way he looked when he took his final bow at NBC in 1960...he was once, after all, THE biggest star on television. He deserved nothing less. The end result was that Howdy's facelift was more a restoration than a renovation. To say it was an honor to have him as a houseguest would be an understatement. Suffice it to say that it was a pleasure to have a part in bringing him back to the way we all remember him, ready to entertain again!" Thanks, Alan! This month's Blast from the Past was too easy for some of you. Of course, it's Don Bryan and Noseworthy from Canada who appeared on the International show at the convention last year. It's nice to know Noseworthy got to get his hair cut too, keeping him more in current style. Let's hope we see them again at this year's convention. Thanks, Don! If you guessed this was figure maker extraordinaire Tim Selberg, you were right! That blast from the past picture goes back to 1983. Tim writes of the figure in the picture:
"The figure pictured was finished in
January 1982 for a person named Mike Henson who lived in
Noblesville, IN. The entirely hand-carved figure (down to the
hand-carved teeth, tongue, hands and head and handmade basswood body)
went for a whopping $550! The even more interesting thing is that
I took a trade from him on a Ken Spencer figure that needed to be
seriously reworked and gave him a $500 credit so I actually only
received 50 bucks in actual payment!! I reworked the Spenser
figure extensively and several years later sold it for less than $700
I believe. This was only the 8th figure I'd ever carved but I
still look back on it now and like the look of him - I named him
Quinton. If Mr. Henson should happen to read this I will gladly
buy him back for $550! I might even throw in a Spenser to boot!!"
Is that Liz VonSeggen and Mark Wade? Yep, it sure is. The picture was taken at the 1977 ConVENTion back when Liz and Dale VonSeggen's One Way Street was still pretty new. Last year, 2004, marked the 30th Anniversary of One Way Street. Congratulations! Our hairstyles may get wacky, but our smiles never change. Our rock star ventriloquist is none other than Pete Michaels! Thanks to those who responded and recognized that Pete smile! Thanks Pete! Krusader Identity Revealed! Have you spent the whole month wondering who this dashing hero in tights with his wooden, caped sidekick is? Well, it's none other than our own Bob Hamill who performed on the Saturday Night Show last year. Bob and Clyde worked as the national mascot for Tastykake, a snack-cake company, doing promotions, commercials, and personal appearances. What a gig! [copyright.htm] |

Hi There Fellow Beatles Fans - been checking out this forum and this thread for a while now but just finally registered today.
Although I'm 100% sure this counts as "Memorabilia", I thought I'd show off a few pieces of original artwork from Tom Wilkes the album cover artist that I just picked up. Tom was responsible for a number of Beatles album covers including the two Beatles compilation albums released in 1973, "The Beatles 1962-1966", "The Beatles 1967-1970" and a number of George Harrison's albums (he designed a number of other album-covers as well for Rollings Stones, Janis Joplin, etc.) and perhaps is most known for being the art director for the great Monterey Pop Festival.
The 3 pieces of Tom's that I have are all pretty different and in my opinion pretty cool....the one that's most closely linked to The Beatles is the original artwork that Tom submitted to George Harrison for the cover of 'All Things Must Pass', but was ultimately rejected as 'too controversial' at the time. I don't know the entire story behind this, but I recently reached out to the awesome author Bruce Spizer who wrote the book "The Beatles Solo on Apple Records", and it appears to be Tom's art work for his "All Things Must Pass" poster before the photos were inserted. More info about this piece can been found by reading Tom's letter to George here (http://www.allthingsmustpass.c.....index.html click on 'A' for 'Album Art'' to read the letter).
I'm going to try and link/embed some photos below from photobucket, I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts whether you think it's pretty cool, horribly ugly, or just want to let me know that my first post on this awesome board is totally in the wrong place!
The first pic below I found online, the rest of the pics I took in my living room.

The John Lennon Letters is a fabulous book, im sure you'll love it Emily.
I began reading the first chapter last night and so far - very good. I like it how there is plenty of info about each letter because otherwise I wouldn't know anything about them and it would be a bit boring.

Spain plans to raise as much as 30 billion euros ($37.7 billion) from the privatization of state assets, Europa Press reported, citing unidentified government officials.
Assets to be sold include Aena Desarrollo Internacional SA, Renfe Operadora SC and the hotel chain Paradores de Turismo de Espana SC, Europa Press said. Revenue from the sales will be used to reduce debt, not deficit, the news service said.
The plan will probably be approved before August, Europa Press reported.

G baby
Amazing, but $200?
Just picked this beauty up in black and I love it. I am 5'9 145lbs and the Medium is a perfect fit.
The good:
L1 has their style on point. The attention to detail is amazing and I love the military style that this jacket has. The black is more of a faded black then as dark as it shows on here. Love the look and the way the hood can zip into the collar.
The bad:
I feel that 200$ is a lot of cash to pay for an 8k piece of outerwear. Yes I have used 8k throughout the Utah winters and never had any problems, but I feel this should still be a bit cheaper as it is just a shell. And maybe I'm retarded, but the string at the bottom doesnt seem to cinch or tighten - dunno if its just aesthetics or what. This jacket is prime for spring days and could be used during the colder winter months with a hoodie underneath. Who doesn't layer anyway?

Has anyone ever seen or heard of someone putting an oven range in a corner, as in at an angle across the corner? I have been researching the internet and it appears that it is not normal because I can find almost nothing about it. I saw pictures from the Berry Kitchen Remodel here on Gardenweb where they put the cooktop at an angle, but that is about the only thing I can really find. I realize it will take more space, but are there other considerations that I am not thinking about? I like the idea because it seems that it will make my kitchen layout work better without having to do a major electrical or plumbing overhaul when we remodel. Any ideas will be appreciated! |

From a missing thread. I think this is a corner range. |
Here is a link that might be useful: think this is a corner
- Posted by debrak_2008 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 20, 10 at 9:37
We considered this idea but changed our minds. We were told by everyone from KDs to installers that it is very difficult. The angle must be exactly right. Two places, Home depot and a local cabinet store said in order to order cabinets we would have to sign a statement saying we were warned not to do this and that they would not be responsible if there are any problems even if they did the measurements! Also told that most installers absolutely refuse to do them. We were shocked to hear this consistant negative attitude about corner ranges. Its funny, we got the idea for a KD who I later decided not to work with. He had me visit a very high end model home that had a corner range he designed. I'm sure it can be done if you really want it. I would make sure you have everyone on board, KD, installer, etc. with the idea and that they have experience. In the end we decided it wasn't worth the stress and we would be losing cabinet space. |

It's a lot more difficult to lift heavy items out of an oven from straight in front of it over the hot oven door (even with good slide out racks) than it is to be able to stand along side that same oven and pick the casserole up from the side. And, you'll have to be strong, because you can't have two people lifting the 25 lb turkey from either side of the oven. One person has to stand in front and lift. It's a BIG space eater and only really doable in a LARGE (usually for show) kitchen. By the time you add up the spacers needed to do it right, you use almost 4 feet in both directions--5' more counter space lost than doing a standard wall 30" oven. Most kitchens don't have enough room to be able to lose 5' of counter space. |
Thanks for all the comments so far! I accidently posted this question twice because I thought this one did not get submitted("Putting an oven range across the corner-have you seen this done?"). The comments from the other post are mixed, but it definitely seems that it can work. I am still in the planning stages so nothing is set. We have a small budget and I wasn't planning on using a kitchen designer, but am thinking about it since I really want this space to look and work much better than it does now. |
- Posted by frankie_in_zone_7 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 22, 10 at 15:29
I had considered it because I thought it would give me a longer run on one side of my counters AND allow me to move the range farther away from the cleanup area. I saved a number of mag photos and thought I liked it. After doing some measurements and figuring motion issues of how you stand in front of or beside, and how close beside you a second cook can be and be comfortable as noted above, I think I've decided against it. In my case, though, there was not an aesthetic reason to do it or any kind of corner flourish or focal point that was part of it, as might be if you have an arch overhead, or a big zone for it, or something. I simply think it would not achieve what I originally thought it would. |
I have a lot of pics saved, but all I found were gas range or electric wall ovens... hope this helps. |
Installing a range (or ovens) in a corner may not be easy, but it certainly isn't undoable. As with anything else, your KD and/or Contractor prefers to do what's easy...get in, get it done quickly, get out...they make more $$ that way. If you want it and you have room for it, then keep looking until you find someone willing to do something that's not routine & easy. The only corner range I can think of right now in the Finished Kitchens Blog (FKB) is SharB's. It is a gas range, but I don't think fuel-type is an issue. |

I considered this in my design, the key problem for me was the hood sticking out so far that I couldn't fit a cabinet between the hood and a window...the hood would have caused me to loose too much upper cabinet space. I also noticed in the pictures korney posted that most of the walls were 45 degree walls, not 90. I think it would be extra hard in the 90 situation, but I couldn't get mine to work with the 45. |
When corner ranges are installed, an angled wall is usually erected to allow the range and hood to have something to be installed against. On the plus side, it gives you plenty of room behind the range and hood for plumbing (pot filler), gas line/electric, and duct work! If you have plenty of room, it's also a way to "handle" a corner. On the minus side, it does take up a lot of wall & counter space...around 48" on each side for 30" range or 33" oven cabinet, more for 36" or 48" ranges. |
Korney19, Thanks for all the pictures! One thing several people have mentioned is the concern for having to do everything from the front of the oven and not being able to stand to the sides to check or pick heavy dishes up. I never stand to the side to check or pick anything up now. Plus in the most of the pictures I have seen it seems that there is enough room, although more awkward, for two people to pick up a super heavy dish. So although it is definitely a concern I don't think my decision to not do it would be based on that issue. For me, the biggest concern mentioned by everyone is the extra space it takes up. But right now the only other option I can see for my kitchen is to put the stove and fridge side by side which will use up all the space on one wall. I would rather have some highly useable space on the wall than the less useable corner space. Again, I really appreciate all the comments and it is definitely helping decide what we want to do. |
its kind of funny, my friend is house shopping and she has a real hatrid of corner sinks... then i told her about my aunt and uncle's house it has a corner sink and a corner stove, it would drive her nuts. My aunt and uncle have a range on an outside corner actually. it looks cool! He's a custom cabinet maker and she's an interior designer. My guess is that it would cost a lot for the custom angled cabinets if he wasn't doing it. |

I think it's a marvelous look - would make your kitchen really distinctive. As to lifting, well - just pull out the rack for easy access. And you could design it with a great looking recess if you like them. Rosie |

I added a new set of jpegs to my database, and they look just the same as I described earlier when displayed using the HR20. Each is shown in the middle of the screen with room for one image of the same size above it and one below it, and with room for two to the left and two to the right. So, there would be room on my 16:9 TV screen to show a 5 x 3 array of such images at once.
I've been attempting to understand the photo display procedure between the HR20 and mediatomb using the wireshark capture. This is what I see:
1. The HR20 sends a browse request for the available photos in a container.
2. Mediatomb sends the info for each photo. I see two photo references returned: the full size photo (first item) and the thumbnail (second item).
3. The user selects the photo to be displayed from the HR20 menu.
4. The HR20 requests the photo from mediatomb
5. Mediatomb sends the photo
6. The HR20 displays the photo.
My guess is the HR20 doesn't like something about the first photo (full size) and asks for the thumbnail.
TVersity users are finding the HR20 is having issues displaying high res photos.
Just curious...what do your filenames look like and your typical resolution? The photos that displayed as thumbs for me look like this:

I sent the info to Jin and hopefully he can find something.

A crucial element of any site is the logo. In most themes the logo's are place at the very top in the header. Most logo's consist of an image combined optionally with a title and subtitle. In this video we will demonstrate how you can setup the logo widget using the Horse ranch WordPress theme.
The logo widget is mostly used for what its name implies: to create a logo. Choose the option to create either an image only logo, a text only version or both.
Maybe you don't have a logo or you just want to put your name up in plain text. That is possible with the title and subtitle options of the logo widget. It's as easy as filling in the blanks and the widget will render your text perfectly.
If you're a designer and know about absolute positioning the logo widget supports these attributes as well. It enables you to move the logo beyond the boundaries of its placeholder and create a more dynamic layout (if you know what you're doing :).
Depending on the configuration, the logo widget of your website could have a constrained height. If the height is constrained, also the width of the logo will be constrained (as the image of the logo sticks to the aspect ratio of the original image you assign to it). In this video we will show you why we often constrain the logo, and how you can remove the contraint.

Renewable energy solutions have been thrust to the forefront of issues pressing countries around the world. As of May 2009, 33 of the 50 United States have enacted renewable portfolio standards that must be achieved within the next 10-20 years. These goals will help alleviate some of the dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but it is only the beginning of the path to energy independence and sustainability. While the potential for supporting the grid by using a combination of renewable energy sources is high, some of the most popular, wind and solar, are intermittent at best in the frequency of energy production; the wind does not always blow, nor does the sun always shine. Such a variable nature requires balancing generation and consumption, and as of yet there is a major gap in terms of effective, affordable storage.
This research focuses on advancing the mechanical and electrochemical understanding of solid state, ionic liquid-based, gel polymer electrolytes for novel, printed energy storage. The interaction between successively printed materials is of great importance to producing fully functional electronics with small footprints on flexible substrates. Each printing process requires ink to have different material properties and produces layers with varied surface morphologies. Maintaining high electrical conductivity and thermal stability is paramount. Ionic liquids are typically thermally stable around 100 °C and can be excellent solvents. Presently, investigations are being conducted to quantify the electrochemical properties of the electrolyte as well as full cells as a result of the mass ratio between Zn ions dissolved from a salt (Zinc triflate) in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate.

Ed Blankenheim
Ed Blankenheim | |
Born | Lake Benton, MN |
Nationality | United States |
Known for | Civil Right Activist |
Edward Norval "Ed" Blankenheim (March 16, 1934 – September 26, 2004) was one of the original thirteen freedom riders who rode Greyhound buses in 1961 as part of the US civil rights movement, in an effort to desegregate transit systems.[1][2]
Blankenheim was born on March 16, 1934 in Lake Benton, Minnesota. He moved with his family to Chicago at age 10.[2] He served in the US Marine Corps in the Korean War[3] and observed Southern racism during his time in the Corps.[2]
While studying chemistry at the University of Arizona, he became involved with the civil rights movement, and joined the Congress of Racial Equality. Ed was one of the few white people who participated in local civil rights activities. He started out by becoming involved with Tucson, Arizona's NAACP Youth Council and later became a leader for a division of CORE known as the Students for Equality.[4] In 1961, sixteen civil rights workers boarded buses to test the 1960 Supreme Court ruling that outlawed segregation in all interstate public facilities.[5] The Freedom Riders were civil rights activists who traveled on interstate buses into southern United States practicing non-violent protests that challenged the Jim Crow travel laws. The Freedom Riders met violent protests the deeper they traveled south and were almost always greeted with violence. They endured countless violent actions, threats, beatings, and even the risk of death every time they traveled to a new bus station.[6]
During the journey and upon arriving in Anniston, Alabama an angry mob attacked the Greyhound bus. The mob firebombed the bus, but the passengers managed to escape. The riders were regrouped by the mob and severely beaten. Ed was hit in the face with a tire iron and lost several teeth.[3] Police looked away as the riders were severely beaten by the angry mob. Facing danger, injury, and death Ed managed to survive the attack.
He was interviewed on National Public Radio in 2001 on the 40th anniversary of the freedom rides.[7] That year he rode on a bus to recreate the first freedom ride, but this time was welcomed as a hero, in contrast to the beatings and bus burning of 1961. He and his wife Pam had one son and two daughters.[2]
He died on September 26, 2004.[2]

Get More Info http://www.greencoffeebeanweightloss.in/
In 2002, it was found that reasonable daily coffee consumption actually protected against type 2 diabetes. Another newly discovered component of green coffee bean extract, chlorogenic acid, was discovered in 1997 that specifically inhibits the enzyme involved in generating sugars in our bodies, which eventually leads our bodies to consume its own sugar stores and achieve weight loss fast results later on. However, it was also discovered in 2002 that roasting of green coffee beans reduce its content of chlorogenic acid and the anti-oxidant property of coffee green bean extract. It was also discovered in 2002 that coffee bean green extract can lower the blood pressure in rats. One important milestone on the way to disclose the weight loss success stories of, and the medical importance of green coffee beans was its study for weight loss potential in 2006. Scientists tried to study the effect of green coffee bean extract on mice body weights, with an equal focus on fat around the gut (visceral fat), its absorption and utilization, in an attempt to evaluate the possible uses of the green coffee bean extract as causes of weight loss.
The 2006 study was about mice. They fed them the green coffee bean extract for 14 days and followed their weight loss stories and fat buildup during that period. It was shown that the pure caffeine (10%) and the chlorogenic acid (27%) of the extract were able to suppress weight gain and fat accumulation in obese mice. It was further noticed that this effect becomes more pronounced if combined with green tea. Another 2012 study was done on obese and overweight people, where they were fed a constant amount of diet, and were subjected to a fixed regime of exercise, but were given increasing doses of the green bean coffee extract over a total period of 22 weeks. Subjects lost an average of 17 pounds during the 22 weeks with a 16% decrease in body fat.
So, why coffee bean green extract has such a strong influence on weight loss? Chlorogenic acid that is present in the green extract is destroyed when coffee beans are roasted. So for the first time, you have to tolerate the bitter taste of the extract instead of the usual coffee flavor in order to get its full benefit for extreme weight loss. If you can't tolerate it, just have it with a lot of water. It is also a dietary supplement, so it doesn't need to be approved by the FDA, and it is readily available over the counter in many drug stores. The supplement is cheaper than any of the weight loss medications available in stores. Still scientists, are trying to find more answers as regards the side effects of coffee bean green extract. It is well known that the extract reduces the absorption of fats and sugars in the gut, as well as reduces insulin levels, but scientists are still trying to determine whether the extract causes general malabsorption in producing its effects. There have been no complaints as regards that issue so far.

Converting a decimal to BCD in Java
Scratching my head, it sounds pretty simple though. A DECIMAL type is probably implemented (for you) as a BigDecimal. You can toString() that type. Once you've got a string, you're most of the way to BCD. Take each character, subtract "0" and stuff the result in a byte of a byte array. For signed numbers, that's a trickier proposition and depends on the packed format; I don't recall any signed BCD formats offhand.

I've never been to the spring swap, but was thinking I could start a bunch of seeds in doors and bring extras of the starts to the swap. Do you think it is too soon to start flower/vege seeds? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by firevicar Woodinville WA (email@example.com) on Sun, Jan 15, 06 at 20:07
My opinion, most annuals are best started about 6 weeks before transplanting. Any earlier and they become somewhat unwieldy by the time they are ready to be transplanted. But you can count on the fact that people will be running a spring fever in early March. I have gladly traded for the tiniest of seedlings in little peat pots at the Spring Green Elephant. I say bring some starts and see if you start a new trend. You can also sow seeds at the potting bench. I will provide soil, ID tags, some pots and flats, and you can sow seeds right there, or transplant seedlings the day of the swap. It's all good. Jim |
- Posted by jburesh1388 z8 WA (My Page) on Sun, Jan 15, 06 at 20:47
Thanks for the encouragement Jim! I don't have many flowers to trade and so the seed starts idea. I'll plant a bunch and see what happens. Any one have any vege wants? |

worst out fit its looks like a monkey dressed up ready to go in a circus!
All of your parents must be so proud to know you stick up for someone as skanky as Miley Cyrus. Such low self esteem it is sad, you guys should really work on that, preferably before you date anyone else. There is a big difference between sleazy and cute, you may want to learn it.
Looks like she's delivering baby on the stage!!
People are just hating on her because she's from Disney, and she's not the "innocent girl" she used to be. Check out Taylor Momsen who dresses kind similar to Miley and she doesn't get half the hate Miley does, because she wasn't on Disney Channel. I don't really get the big deal, It's not like Miley is making a porno or something.
What the fuck is wrong with that bitch? She has the most shit knees OMG! fuck you miley fuck you. ur full of crap!
The vest is great and Just because she's not wearing a shirt under it doesn't mean that she's a skank, you see people do it everyday on the streets in the summer time. And if you look at her skirt, it's really not that short, and look even more carefully and - gasp- she's wearing shorts underneath!!! :0
dude why should she close her legs she's performing , You all need to calm down honestly . and if you look you can clearly see she's wearing white spandex shorts underneath . god do you have nothing better to do than hate on a girl who grew up in the spotlight and had to watch every tiny mistake she made publicized ? it's disgusting .
A gold tank under the vest woulda made it better. Just a little more gold on her torso. The sudden flash of flesh throws off any balance.
did u see anything? cuz i sure didn't.......whats up with u people an hating on the girl? if she wants to grow up let her....u guys were once like that. even though u people hate her u still watching her n commenting on her videos and pics. y`all are something else....let the girl be oh n i dont care wat y`all have to say i already made my comment... i bet yall dont look half as good as the girl u people need to chill n give the poor girl a brake let her explore n make her own mistakes n learn from them in the end
I love this one not bad at all she looks cute shes even wearing shorts under what wrong with that? lol her others are worse.....?
I dont know, none of these outfits seem risque, or skimpy to me. Nothing valuable of hers is visible not even cleavage so I don't know what these people are talking about, a lot of other celebrities are much much worse.
Do you even know what steampunk is? This outfit definitely is not steampunk.
The outfit isnt to bad. But seriously, youre wearing a skirt, close your f**king legs!!!
this outfit isnt bad its actually cute. but unlike rihanna n madonna. miley came from disney bring alot of her young girl fans with her. they follow her ok. n im pretty sure more than madonna n rihanna cuz they c her as hannah still. so she needs to b more aware than others about what she wears. but this outfit is good, especially compared to the one before this one.
everyone needs to get a life when it comes to this girl...she isn't wearing anythning wrong. Rihanna wears body suits, it's ok...madonna wears pointy nippes, no problem. She wears a short skirt (god forbid) and she's a horrible role model...
its very steampunk!
All you little jealous girls are a trip. Miley is smokin hot in just about anything she wears. I'm quite sure that she could really give a rats ass as to what you all think. She's making bank bitches -- BANK!!!
i love her, but hate he outfit,
I really like her outfit. she looks great. its new. its really pretty to me. i love it. but some comments on here really make me crack up.
She looks better barefoot.
i'm only gonna give her on point for the skirt cuz she didn't match it with a good top or shoes and it is the the only thing good about her outfit
this isnt bad at all! its cute, and she wore that like 2 or 3 years ago, when she was like 16.
This is just flat out rude. She's singing to children at Disneyland, wtf was she thinking? WTF were her parents thinking, or were they just money hungry when they put her on the market???
is she taking outfit advice from lady gaga?she looks so ridiculos
this outfit is totally gross...on anyone!!
This isn't even remotely attractive. She just looks like she put her clothes on in the dark and forgot the shirt.
The shoes totally threw me off, I'm not even gonna lie. Lol.
come one guys she's wearing a skirt at least!
love it.<
how is this showing a 'lil too much'? is cute! she's so pretty.<3
i know i like it! :P

Drug abuse becomes the leading cause of death among the homeless ExaminerJanuary 16, 2013
A new study conducted on Boston's homeless reveal that overdosing on heroin and other prescription drugs has surpassed AIDS as the number one killer in the homeless population. The study was conducted on homeless individuals in urban centers who had received treatment at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program. According to Dr. Travis Baggett of Massachusetts General Hospital, "the tripling in the rate of death by drug overdose reflects an overall rise in pain-killer abuse. This trend is happening across the country, in non-homeless populations too. Homeless people tend to experience in a magnified way the health issues that are going on in the general population."

Unbidden, I was looking through old posts to get ideas on how to plant a new bed with heuchera, hosta and ferns. I have the heuch's and hostas in but am wondering how to integrate the ferns. What have you tried in your gardens that you have liked as far as mixing the three and placement, textures, colors, etc...? Don, FF, anyone else? |
Ghost ferns have an odd color, grey-green that looks good against the black centered Tiarellas or dark purples and silver Heucheras. Ghost ferns stand stiffly upright about 2' , making a good backdrop. Most ferns droop. |
Heuchera between Ferns Dre's Dagger and Frizzel. Both ferns are unusual forms and upright. Good for putting plants under. |
Looking closely at the photo above you can see a fern frond near the ground close to the top 'Sweet Tea'. That is a baby ostrich fern, something I have been pulling out like a weed for the past three years. They are beautiful large plants that spread underground, like bamboo. they are also perfectly round, taking up a huge space, and if happy, grow too dense to easily see through. Japanese Painted ferns are stunning. They grow 2' x 2' and hug the ground. You can't really put anything under them, but they are everywhere in my garden, and multiple happily. I love them next to black and orange heuchera. The picture show then against a wall with Autumn ferns and a lady fern. |
- Posted by flower-frenzy 8a (My Page) on Thu, May 8, 14 at 11:30
Gorgeous pictures, unbidden. I only have 1 fern in my garden. This has definitely inspired me to buy more! |
- Posted by HeuchHogan 7 (My Page) on Thu, May 8, 14 at 18:17
Thanks so much, Unbiddenn. I have seen ghost fern in nurseries and will definitely try that one. Love the color and that it is upright. Japanese Painted ferns grow good for me. I will look into the others you showed. Great pics! |
I have a wonderful stand of Maidenhair Ferns, an exceptional fern for pairing with perennials because its fronds don't grow from the ground. A strong black stem grows from the ground about a foot tall, the fern spreads out on top like a hand on a stick. Initially I planted three separate clumps of Maidenhair Fern, but after a few years and too much effort in two areas, all live happily in a quiet humusy corner. pic to come when the plant reappears. |
What a feast for the eye! Inspiring to say the least. |

Nintendo's just shown off a new trailer for Mario Kart 3DS at its ongoing E3 press conference.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said the game is "tricked out like never before".
Featuring a mixture of old and new courses, the trailer showed off underwater sections where cars had rear propellers attached to them, as well as cars with hand-gliders on top soaring through the environment. We're not sure if we like where it's going yet or not.
It will also feature car customisation elements, allowing you to choose your ride, wheels and more.
The game's set to arrive in stores "this holiday season". More as soon as we get it.

The feature film "Wesley" will be screened at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 13, at the Smoky Mountain Center for the Performing Arts in Franklin.
"Wesley" is based closely on the actual events of John Wesley's life, a story that already reads much like a Hollywood screenplay.
Arledge Armenaki, WCU associate professor of cinematography, was the director of photography for the movie.
Sixteen Western Carolina University students got hands-on experience as crew for "Wesley" during filming on locations in and around Winston-Salem and Morganton for two months in 2007 and two weeks in 2008, including a sold-out red carpet premiere. WCU students and faculty also were cast in the movie.
Wesley is a compelling and controversial main character that women found intensely attractive; there is adventure on the high seas, a terrible storm and near-shipwreck. In the newly settled Savannah, Ga., there is an incredibly romantic but star-crossed love affair that ends tragically. Wesley is crushed, and on his return to England, we experience his spiritual struggle and finally renewal. We are then swept away with his preaching in the fields and his efforts to help the lowest classes of society. His ministry is controversial, there is mob violence, confrontation, and tension followed by his victorious preaching to thousands in his hometown.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the center box office at 1028 Georgia Road in Franklin, at Dalton's Christian Bookstore in Franklin and Waynesville, and online at GreatMountainMusic.com, or call 866.273.4615.

Just create a little PR fodder for when The Zero is in debate mode (are teleprompters allowed?). Newt actually had it right. Get some sound bites as politics is now a "gotcha" form of debate.
As a lifelong resident of Massachusetts (I accept your condolences) I do believe Romney did a decent job as gov since he has to operate in an overwhelming Democratic state. The legislature – House and Senate – was about 85% Democrat. Romney managed to actually accomplish a few things of merit – depending, of course, upon your view. If I had to grade him I'd give him a B.

HELP! Wacom tablet has no pressure sensitivity!
Here's the problem: I recently got a new computer with Windows 7 on it. I downloaded THE most recent Wacom driver for my intuous tablet but the pressure sensitity won't work. I think it has something to do with the fact that I can't save any software into the folder called Program Files which is always a folder where software goes. There's a strange folder I've never seen before called "Program Files (x86)" and some software doesn't approve of the strange characters; this is the folder that the software is installing on (unless the software rejects it). On my new computer, "Program Files" folder a read-only folder and I can't remove the read-only setting even though I'm the administrator. I get an error message saying "An error occurred in applying attributes to the file: C:\Program Files\Commo...\Alphabet.xml Access is denied."
I've saved Photoshop into a folder that I made called "Graphics Programs." So, my tablet is working just like a mouse except there is no pressure sensitivity for programs like Painter and Photoshop and probably Illustrator is the same. This is a huge problem for me. I also tried reinstalling the graphics software thinking that maybe it didn't work because it was there before I installed the tablet's driver...this didn't work. I went to the control panel and opened the tablet settings. It allows me to test pressure sensitivity there and everything looks setup properly. Anyways, it would be nice to fix this ASAP. I've contacted the Wacom support but they may take a while to get back to me and I think the problem is that Programs folder. |

TUCSON - If the Chrysler Classic of Tucson fares as well as it did during Wednesday's Pro-Am, when approximately 10,000 fans soaked up the sun, then it is safe to predict that golf's "Last Roundup in the Old Pueblo" will have yet another great week since the PGA Tour left it for dead in 1998.
