'Adventure Time' and Cine Las Americas
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on May 1, 2012 | Comments (2)Up until last week I never heard of Adventure Time. (I will chalk this up to not having easy access to cable television, specifically Cartoon Network, rather than my utter lameness.) So, it was not until the announcement that Mondo Gallery was opening an Adventure Time themed art show — featuring 40 pieces of original art and posters from 31 artists (the show is on display through May 26) — that I first heard of Finn and Jake and the Land of Ooo. Considering that Mondo's tastes are typically in line with my own, their love for Adventure Time intrigued me. Luckily, the gallery opening was to be paired with an Adventure Time Marathon Screening and Feast — hosted by Mondo and featuring series creator Pendleton Ward and voice actor Tom Kenny (Ice King) — at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar. What better way to get introduced to Adventure Time than with a two-hour immersion into nine episodes (including two world premiere episodes), served up with a three-course menu (including "Everything Burrito", "Wizard Rainbow Dogs", "Decorpsinator Puffs" and "Meatman Meat") designed by Alamo Executive Chef John Bullington, and seated alongside a sold out audience of rabid Adventure Time fans? Oh, yes, the fans! Seeing all of the fans decked out in Adventure Time costumes got me all the more excited to experience whatever it was I was about to see. I mean, how often do people dress up like characters from bad television shows? (Okay, don't answer that.) I was […]
'Adventure Time,' 'Regular Show,' and the Good New Days of Children's TV
Channel Guide By Amber Humphrey on April 26, 2012 | Comments (1)Darkwing Duck, Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, X-Men, Pepper Ann. The '90s were the best time for animated children's programming, right? But, of course, I was a kid in the '90s, so I'm biased. If I'd grown up in the '80s I'd probably cite Thundercats, Jem, and He-Man as examples of how that decade was killing it and think the crap that all of the little jerks in the '90s were watching lacked soul or guts or whatever. Until recently, my 20-somethingness had caused me to be totally dismissive of contemporary cartoons. I know, it's a really odd thing to be pretentious about but in a lot of cases—in fact, most cases—it was warranted. But then I watched Regular Show and Adventure Time, two Cartoon Network animated series that have been getting a lot of love from kids and adults alike, and now I'm begrudgingly starting to think that I've been completely wrong about the '90s.
Live-Action 'Ben 10′ Gets One Screenwriter
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 31, 2012 | Comments (2)So one day you're walking along when you find an alien pod where a strange watch-like machine attaches itself to you – giving you the power of 10 different extraterrestrials. These things happen. At least they happen to Ben 10 – the hit animated show that spawned several spin-off shows and a lot of merchandise. It's no wonder Joel Silver has taken a liking to it. The producer has even found an interesting screenwriter to build the project for the big screen. According to Variety, Silver has hired Henry Poole is Here writer Albert Torres to bring the alien master to life. Henry Poole was definitely an underappreciated dramedy, but the real writing audition for Torres came in the form of a rewrite on the Akira remake. A bit more in the Ben 10 wheelhouse. What's interesting is that Torres also wrote the script for the Chuck Palahniuk book adaptation Survivor back when Francis Lawrence was attached to direct. This guy sounds particularly versatile. What's doubly interesting is that there have already been two live-action Ben 10 movies – both made for television, directed by Bill and Ted alum Alex Winter. It's undoubtedly different, but does anyone else get the Green Lantern vibe off this? Aliens, a magic device on the hand, the color green everywhere. It feels awfully similar.
Channel Guide: New 'Thundercats' Invite Newbies To Pick Up The Sword
Channel Guide By Merrill Barr on August 3, 2011 | Comments (1)Between Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated and The Looney Tunes Show, Cartoon Network is so far two for two on their cartoon reboots. But in a further attempt to take the kid programming crown away from rival Nickelodeon, the network has gone back to the nostalgia well again, and this time they pulled out the beloved favorite, Thundercats. Now before everyone stars rioting outside the Cartoon Network HQ, let me say that they are probably one of the most creative networks in the business and the idea of a Thundercats reboot can work in the right hands, and guess what. It did.
Because You Asked For It: A 'Captain Planet' Live-Action Movie
In Development By Scott Beggs on July 19, 2011 | Comments (3)Since the entire planet will implode next year due to all the cars and cows butt-spitting noxious gases, and because of the overwhelming success of Avatar accredited to the presence of blue-skinned humanoids, Cartoon Network plans on making a live-action Captain Planet movie. The press release states that the network would be pairing with producer Don Murphy to make the film a reality. Amongst his credits are, of course, Natural Born Killers, Shoot 'Em Up, and the Transformers franchise so a movie where a blue guy in a midriff-showing unitard flies around handing out magic rings to children sounds right up his alley. Of course, the elephant in the room is that this movie comes at a time where man-made global warming is still being discussed in the public square. Producer Susan Montford will also be working to bring the movie to theaters, and she had this to say: "With the earthquakes, tornadoes, melting icebergs and all the other problems threatening the world right now, Earth really needs her greatest defender." Words fail. What actor will they convince to cover himself in body paint for the role? My vote is for Step By Step's Sasha Mitchell because 1) his awesome flat top 2) his fighting skills and 3) he was last relevant when Captain Planet was last relevant.
Joel Silver Wants to Make 'Ben 10' a Movie Star
Movie News By Nathan Adams on June 14, 2011 | Comments (3)Cartoon Network has a show called Ben 10 that's ridiculously popular with young boys at the moment. I've never heard of it before, but I imagine that some of our readers with children are all too familiar with shelling out big bucks to their grubby little offspring so they can buy all of the latest Ben 10 whosits and whatsits. I mean, when they made a live-action special based on this character, four million people watched. I didn't even know that many people still watched cable TV in total; this thing has to be huge. And you know what happens any time something becomes a well-known brand name in the world of anything. Hollywood looks to make it the next big summertime franchise. This time it's legendary producer Joel Silver looking to help Ben 10's jump from small to big screen happen. I'm sure you've heard of him, he produced pretty much every amazing thing ever, like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Predator, The Matrix, and Hudson Hawk. Okay, so maybe Hudson Hawk isn't awesome, but point is: Silver has been around the block. For the people behind Ben 10, having him on board to put this project together must be seen as a real coup. As a matter of fact, I have a quote from the chief operating officer of Turner animation Stu Snyder that says as much right here, "I cannot think of anyone better suited than Joel Silver to develop a theatrical action-driven adventure based on our franchise […]
Channel Guide: Revamped 'Looney Tunes Show' Brings Back the Charm to Familiar Cartoon Faces
Features By Merrill Barr on May 7, 2011 | Comments (5)Everybody has that children's program that holds a special place in their hearts. For some it's Transformers. For others it's The Muppets. Many would say Sesame Street. And plenty hold some classic Nicktoons up to a high standard. For me, (despite my constant cheering for the classic Nicktoons I just mentioned) nothing tops The Looney Tunes. Bugs, Daffy and the rest of the crazy bunch always managed to put a smile on my five-year-old face. And when I refer to the bunch, I'm not talking about the abortions that are the films of the last few years. I'm talking about all those great cartoon shorts from back in the day. Back when political correctness wasn't a term, and good writing was important, regardless if kids could get the jokes or not.
Adult Swim Created 'Black Dynamite' Cartoon Before It Walked in the Room
Movie News By Merrill Barr on April 6, 2011 | Comments (4)Remember 2009? Of course you do. It was full of some really good films that have continued to grow their audience in the last two years. But none of them seemed quite as cult heavy as the blaxsploitation throw back, Black Dynamite. The film is everything a good cinefile appreciates about the sixties and seventies. Now I know what your thinking, "the sequel is coming?! Yes!" Sadly it isn't that. Instead I have better news. What would you do if I said that very soon you'll be able to receive a weekly dose of Black Dynamite in television form? That's the question Cartoon Network is asking because /Film reported today that the network has officially picked up an animated series based on the film. The series will be directed by Carl Jones of Boondocks fame and will feature the vocal talents of the cast of the film including, Michael Jai White, Tommy Davidson, Kym Whitley and Byron Minns. The series is set to begin in early 2012 on Adult Swim.

i see where people say they stab moles when they see the ground moving. i'm curious as to what time of day you're seeing activity. i have yet to catch one this way. or, maybe, is it weather conditions? lmk, please. |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are pretty much active when it suits them. Certainly not entirely nocturnal as common mythology about them holds. I WILL tell you for certain that they are most active when there is less human activity around. The 'mole catchers' on the golf courses in the South lay in wait, quietly, as the sun comes up. They can get several in a morning, with a pitchfork. A quite rainy day would be another ideal time to lay in wait. Pull up a lawn chair and be patient. ;-) |
I usually kill about a dozen moles a year. When I see a new run in my lawn I push the tunnel down. In the morning before going to work I would take a look to see if the tunnel is pushed back up. If it is, I will sit there and see if the end of the tunnel is moving. If not, I push it back down. Sometimes I will check during lunch time and before and after dinner. I have caught moles at all of these times. I use a broken shovel handle. If I see movement I push the handle in the ground and pull up quickly slinging the mole in the air and once its on the ground I just step on it. You can also use a water hose and just start filling the tunnel with water. They will pop right out if they are in there. I occassionally will catch a vol with water. |
- Posted by flhardatwork 9 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 21, 06 at 12:20
I too see them active during they day and night. I've had great success catching them while working in the garden all times of the day. One method I sometimes use when I don't want to sit and wait for them is to cut a palm branch, any stick small in diameter but about 3-4 feet long will do, and stick it straight down into the end of the mole tunnel if you can find it. He WILL be back. When the mole passes by the stick I can see the stick moving from pretty much anywhere in the garden. I then quietly walk over to the end of the tunnel and wait with two shovels until he starts digging again which usually isn't long. When he does start digging, jam one shovel about 6 inches behind him first to block his easy retreat, then the other in front to block his advance. Using the shovel behind him just dig the little critter up with the lump of dirt and dump it into a box and take him to the woods and release him. I've cleared my yard several times with this method but eventually I always have a new one move in. I must have some tatsty grubs in my yard. I've never used the terminal method. I just don't see the need even though they DO often cause me alotta work, especially having to re-do a sinking paver walkway. I may be forced to put a layer of concrete under it to foil the little suckers. Just one humane method among many, I'm sure. |

I was greatly amused and impressed by the ingenuity of 2 responses. Thinking like a mole appears to go a long way towards catching one...or two or three. I was hoping to put the useless cat to work, but so far all training has worked in reverse. Tom |
Just a point to remember, moles are actually poisonous so don't allow your pets to play with them. I only found out after two of my ferrets died after they came across one. |
- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 18:43
moles are actually poisonous Where DO these notions come from?? The only thing that could be remotely considered toxic or poisonous about a mole is if it was already contaminated with some sort of toxic repellant or "mole killer". Or if it had a contagious disease like rabies. My cat routinely kills moles (along with any other small 4 legged rodent-like critters he can find) and may or may not eat them, depending on his mood. I call him the "great orange hunter" :-)) And the dog will often play with any bodies that cat may have discarded. No worries!! (they are both current on their rabies vaccines). |
I've never seen a mole hill work..but then I'm not the most patient person on the planet. You could probably convince me that the hills just magically appear :) if I hadn't seen dogs dig moles out of them. |
Actually, I think that there are some mole species that are mildly venomous....but it's shrews that are notably so. Clearly, the shrews have more reason to be venomous but I find it a little 'unusual' to think that their bites could kill a much larger animal. I had outdoor cats many years ago who would gladly battle shrews and usually had little scars on their faces to show for it. Dbarron, it's pretty entertaining to watch a mole raise a ridge while tunneling through soft soil. You do have to be in the right place at the right time. :-) |

one might wonder.. why something that lives underground.. perhaps even being blind.. would look at a clock and decide what time of day would be best for hunting ... digging.. tunneling.. and ruining my life ... ken |

Batkid rescues grateful San Francisco damsel, pursues Penguin
By day, he's just a 5-year-old boy from Northern California. But when the city needs a hero, he becomes the Batkid.
And today is one of those days. The Riddler and the Penguin are terrorizing San Francisco, in a nefarious plot hatched by the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The group has also converted two black Lamborghinis into Batmobiles to escort Batkid around the city as he battles the forces of evil. Along the way, he'll be guided by dispatches from Police Chief Greg Suhr and cheered on by at least 12,000 grateful citizens.
"We have done other superhero wishes before at Make-A-Wish, and no city has embraced it like this one," Patricia Wilson, the foundation's director for the Bay Area, told the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Chronicle loaned out its presses for a special edition, the Gotham City Chronicle, with a front-page story by Clark Kent. (Reprints will be available in Saturday's regular edition.) Batkid is also being aided in escapades by the San Francisco Giants, the municipal government, a social-media consultancy, and what seems like most of the city.
Today's @sfchronicle special edition "Gotham City Chronicle" honors #SFBatkid pic.twitter.com/7tcJfWbAOd
— Mashable (@mashable) November 15, 2013
Batkid's crime-fighting achievements are all the more impressive as the boy has been suffering from leukemia for almost all of his life. His cancer is now in remission, fortunately for him and his family -- and unfortunately for the villains who picked today to make mayhem.
Already Friday, he has rescued a damsel in distress who was strapped to an extremely mysterious device on the cable car tracks at Hyde Street, apprehended the Riddler during a bank heist, and stopped for lunch, since even superheroes have to eat.
Damsel in distress needs help. #SFBatKid on the way. @sfwish pic.twitter.com/TG5MuQDhfN
— Mike Pelton (@KRON4MPelton) November 15, 2013
As of this writing, he is rescuing San Francisco Giants mascot Lou Seal from the Penguin.
It won't be easy. If Batkid emerges victorious, though, it's widely expected that Mayor Lee will award him the keys to the city later this afternoon.
San Francisco's hero arrived in the city Thursday, apparently unaware that his special abilities would be needed.
The true identity of the Batkid remains a mystery (as his parents asked the Chronicle that the family's last name not be made public). Newspapers are calling him simply "Miles," reporting that he is from somewhere in Siskiyou County, near the Oregon border. But that's no surprise; the most remarkable superheroes hail from humble and unknown origins.
Batkid's trainer had this to say to the San Jose Mercury News regarding the enigmatic vigilante's two personalities: "He's an excellent superhero because he's a totally mild-mannered kid when the mask is off, but when he puts on the armored Batsuit, he's uncontainable. He shines."

Gunshots reported at Los Angeles International Airport
(The latest: Follow our liveblog for updates)
Gunshots were reported at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday. Airport officials said shortly before 2 p.m. that a suspect was in custody and that there were multiple victims.
The airport said that there are "multiple victims," and the Los Angeles Fire Department also reported a "multi-patient incident." But it remained unclear how many people were injured.
The airport said that a "police incident" began at 9:30 a.m. local time in Terminal 3, which is home to Virgin America, Spirit, JetBlue and Frontier airlines.
A witness told the Associated Press that he heard "about a dozen gunshots."
Bill Reiter, a columnist for Fox Sports, is at the airport and has been tweeting updates from the chaotic scene.
After the initial burst of gunfire and hiding, people started jumping over one another, jumping off chairs, pushing each other. Chaos & fear
- Bill Reiter (@foxsportsreiter) November 1, 2013
They're bringing in more people in whatever area we're being held, still no information of any kind or any authority figures around.
- Bill Reiter (@foxsportsreiter) November 1, 2013
Reiter said that after he heard gunfire, there was a "stampede" of people running on the airport's tarmac.

The Federal Aviation Administration has halted flights into the airport.
Videos taken at the airport show people, many holding luggage and checking their phones, gathered on the tarmac:
The Federal Aviation Administration requires that U.S. airports hold emergency exercises every three years to test how they will respond to a serious incident at an airport, including a plane crash or incident where there are a significant number of casualties.
The Los Angeles airport held its emergency drill in April.
Both Reagan National and Washington Dulles also held exercises this year. The incident in Los Angeles hasn't affected flights into or out of either airport, said airport spokeswoman Kimberly Gibbs.
The Los Angeles Times posted this map showing where the gunfire was reported:
Preliminary map of the shooting at LAX. More here: http://t.co/grrAPXxjdt pic.twitter.com/rXlMSgJUch
- Laura J. Nelson (@laura_nelson) November 1, 2013
President Obama has been briefed on the incident by deputy White House chief of staff Alyssa Mastromonaco and will receive regular updates, White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
Carney said the Los Angeles Police Department is taking the lead right now, but added that "we're obviously, at the federal level, in touch with law enforcement officials on the ground and the president will be updated as the afternoon progresses."

Saturday Science Links: January 24, 2015
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
This week's Saturday Science Links is focused on discoveries in the field of astronomy, written by BioLogos president (and MIT-trained astrophysicist) Deb Haarsma.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
Evangelicals are skeptical of space exploration—but can pastors change this from the pulpit?
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
In this week's edition, learn about amphibious dinosaurs, frozen bison mummies, and hummingbird combat.
The prevailing evangelical view that evolution is in competition with the biblical account of creation sets up students to encounter a false dichotomy, where they feel they must choose between science or their faith.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
The former chair of the Harvard University physics department muses on how faith gives meaning to his scientific work.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.

Steve Hill, the evangelist of the Brownsville Revival, passed away at his Alabama home Sunday after fighting a long battle with cancer. He was 60 years old.
"Today, March 9, Steve crossed the finish line. Steve lived every day with eternity in view, today he finally saw it with his own eyes. The Church has lost a general in the faith, heaven has gained a saint," a post on his Facebook ministry page said. "Please remember Jeri, Ryan, Shelby, Kelsey and the family in your prayers."
Hill is best known as one of the leaders of a revival that began on Father's Day in 1995 at Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Fla.
A reported 4 million people from 150 countries attended the services, reporting deliverance from drug and alcohol addictions and a fresh desire to preach God's word.
"A great warrior has fallen," Billy Wilson, president of Oral Roberts University, said. "One of the great evangelists of our generation is standing in God's presence today."
"My heart grieves for us, yet, my heart rejoices for Steve-he has made it," he continued. "I have lost a friend, a cheerleader, and a fellow laborer in Christ. We love you, Steve."

Peter Stringer insists he still has plenty to offer at the highest level after making an impressive debut for Bath in their 16-6 win over Exeter in the LV= Cup.
Scrum-half Stringer is on loan at The Rec for a couple of months after Michael Claasens broke his thumb, and he marked his first outing for the club with two tries after coming off the bench at Sandy Park just before half-time.
The Munster veteran had been struggling for playing time in the RaboDirect PRO12 and feels the move gives him the chance to prove that he can still cut it as he comes towards the end of a career that earned him 92 caps for Ireland.
"I still have that ambition and drive to play at the highest level," said Stringer.
"That's one of the reasons I was looking to come on loan somewhere and thankfully Bath came up with that opportunity and that's all I want to do - play and compete.
"I'm here for a couple of months. That's the loan agreement. If Munster need me, if there's an injury they can call me back.
"We knew we had to keep the ball and starve them of possession. That's all it needed - a bit of coolness and calm heads, be patient and when we got into these zones to come away with points.
"We have a big challenge again next week at Gloucester and hopefully we can build on today."
Exeter skills coach Ricky Pellow could not fault his players' efforts despite another disappointing result.
He added: "There's a bit of disappointment in the changing room. Hats off to the guys - they fought for everything, though.
"The scoreline didn't go our way but there were pleasing aspects in that we played with intensity and attacked the game. We feel we are moving forward each week."

I want to replace my 2 1/2 ton ac unit with a 4 ton. Will I have to replace the duct work, etc. in order for this to work? |

Haflinger Yes, you should scrap old ductwork and install new correctly sized and insulated properly. You will also require a matching new furnace correctly sized with a 4 ton rated blower along with matching evap coil for the new 4 ton condenser. Correct sizing and a completely matched system is mighty important. IMO |

(ADELAIDE, Australia) -- Prince William and Duchess Kate have not missed a mark on their trip Down Under, and now the royals can say they have not missed a beat either. After spending a night alone at a luxurious resort near Uluru in Australia, the duke and duchess arrived Wednesday in Adelaide, Australia, where they visited a music studio and gave DJ-ing a spin, literally. Kate, 32, and William, 31, egged each other on as to who would be the first to spin tracks as they visited the Northern Sound System, an alternative learning center.
"She was fantastic," Shane Petersen, a workshop facilitator in the hip-hop class the couple visited, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation of Kate's DJ-ing ability. "But [William] can fly a helicopter, so it's horses for courses."
Kate also showed off her dancing, following along with students as they showed her a type of wave dance move.
When it was William's turn to scratch the records, he also revealed what type of music is perhaps on his iPod, if he owns one, or playing in Kensington Palace.
"I like house music," William said, according to the ABC. "I still like a bit of rock'n'roll and the classics, and a bit of R&B."
The couple's son, 9-month-old Prince George, was not with his parents on this leg of the royal family's first official trip overseas since George's birth, but the young prince was never far from his parents' minds.
The couple unveiled a plaque in Adelaide renaming the city's center square as Prince George Plaza and also accepted on George's behalf a green, custom-made skateboard that featured "George" on the bottom flanked by Australian flags and kangaroos.
"[Prince William] loved it and Kate thought that the design was nice," said skateboarder Luke Haldenby, who presented it to William and Kate, according to the ABC.
Prince William declined the crowd's urging to give George's skateboard a try but he did take up the offer to contribute to a spray paint mural being created by a group known as the Aerosol Angels.
"He did a pretty good job, and he admitted when he'd finished his bit of artwork that he was now addicted," said the group's leader, Simon Burt, according to the BBC.
The duke and duchess are now scheduled to return to Canberra, Australia, where they will reunite with Prince George, who stayed behind in Canberra with his nanny.

Get AccessAbstract
We analyzed the possible effects of grazing management and future climate change on carbon (C) stocks in soils of northern Patagonian shrublands. To this aim, we coupled the outputs of three (HadCM3, CSIRO Mk2, and CCSR/NIES) global climate models to the CENTURY (v5.3) model of terrestrial C balance. The CENTURY model was initialized with long-term field data on local biome physiognomy, seasonal phenologic trends, and prevailing land-management systems and was validated with recent sequences of 1-km Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (MODIS-Terra) images and soil C data. In the tested scenarios, the predicted climate changes would result in increased total C in soil organic matter (SOMTC). Maximum SOMTC under changed climate forcing would not differ significantly from that expected under baseline conditions (8 kg m−2). A decrease in grazing intensity would result in SOMTC increases of 11% to 12% even if climate changes did not occur. Climate change would account for SOMTC increases of 5% to 6%.

Nice job. Wish we had done something like your kitchen. I hate ours. Time to sell the house and move on. |
What an improvement! Thank you for sharing. |
Wow, love the transformation! We live in CA too and see many a kitchen like your old one. You did a beautiful job with the new one. Enjoy! |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 8:51
Very nice! I bet the tile counter was a PIA to clean. I love the quartz you picked, looks great with the white cabs and floor tile. Great job! |
Looks great, enjoy! |

I love it! Great job! |
Beautiful! I love the clean lines! I missed your backsplash threads (I was in reno insanity for most of September/October/early November and didn't come to the board much) have you thought about painted glass? I'm kind of digging your chartreuse green cutting board with that counter... |
- Posted by cluelessincolorado (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 10:47
Great choices and a great kitchen! |
Thanks everyone, I hated the old countertop, everything gets stuck in the grout line. I would have been happy with anything smooth over tiles. We have hard water here, so the faucet was on its last leg. The cabinets weren't in bad shape, but it was the cheap builder type with stiles between the doors and no back panel. Mjsee, the cutting board is from Joseph Joseph. There are 4 and they are arranged like index cards. They are convenient, but easily scratched by knives. |
lilymila--I was commenting on the color of the green one... it might be fun as a backsplash...like the one I've linked below without the grout lines. (NO idea what that would cost. But...it could be fun!) |
Here is a link that might be useful: houzz chartreuse green bs
That looks great mjsee. I have to go to the tile store this weekend. I don't remember seeing something this color at the tile store as I was focusing more on grays and whites. |
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Fri, Nov 30, 12 at 16:35
Love the brown counters with the white, plus they match your kitty just purrfectly. I've used Stanley Steemer to clean and seal our kitchen tile grout. They do a great job, and the PO's of our house installed WHITE grout lines in the kitchen. If they can get ours clean, they can do anything. Speaking of which, I need to schedule them! |
Nice! And only (haha) 6 wks? That seems fast to me but I'm sure it didn't on your end. I love that countertop... very pretty. I've admired it in the store. Looks good and matches the cat, too! That green would be fabulous in your kitchen. Or blue. |
Great job on your kitchen - it looks so friendly and fun! What a transformation and kept it reasonable!! Now on to that backsplash - can't wait to see what you find on your shopping expedition! |
Fabulous transformation. Cute kitty too. No wonder she loves that countertop, the quartz is spectacular. I've never seen the wild rice before. It's just perfect with your fresh white cabinets. Congratulations on your beautiful new kitchen! |
gsciencechick-What did they use to get the grout clean? What kind of special machine did they use? Did they seal the tile afterwards? Deedle-The construction only took 1.5 weeks since there were no structural changes. Most of that time were just waiting for the countertop. I had to look at the almost functional kitchen and not be able to use it for 5 weeks. Wild rice is one of the newer color. There is also a gray quartz with the same pattern and softness call shitake. It's also very pretty. |

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 To victory over Jeduthun, the psalm of David. Whether my soul shall not be subject to God; for mine health is of him. (To victory, to Jeduthun, the song of David. Surely my soul shall be made subject under God; for my salvation, or my deliverance, is from him.) | 1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. |
2 For why he is both my God, and mine health; mine up-taker, I shall no more be moved. (For he is both my God, and my deliverer; yea, my defender, and I shall not be shaken, or defeated.) | 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. |
3 How long fall ye on a man? all ye slain; as to a wall bowed, and as a wall of stone without mortar cast down. (How long shall ye fall upon a man? ye shall all be killed; ye shall be like a wall bowed down, yea, like a stone wall without mortar thrown down.) | 3 How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence? |
4 Nevertheless they thought to put away my price, I ran in thirst; with their mouth they blessed, and in their heart they cursed. (Nevertheless they thought to put him down from his place of honour, and they delighted in lies; they blessed with their mouths, but they cursed in their hearts.) | 4 They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. "Selah" |
5 Nevertheless, my soul, be thou subject to God; for my patience is of him. (Nevertheless, my soul, be thou made subject under God; for my hope of deliverance is in him.) | 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. |
6 For he is my God, and my saviour; mine helper, I shall not pass out. (For he is my God, and my saviour; my helper, and I shall not be moved, or shaken.) | 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. |
7 Mine health, and my glory is in God; God is the giver of mine help, and mine hope is in God. (My salvation, or my deliverance, and my glory be in God; God is the giver of my help, and my trust is in God.) | 7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. |
8 All the gathering together of the people, hope ye in God, pour ye out your hearts before him; God is our helper [into] without end (All the gathering together of the people, trust ye in God, pour ye out your hearts before him; God shall be our helper forever.) | 8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. "Selah" |
9 Nevertheless the sons of men be (all in) vain; the sons of men be liars in balances, that they deceive of vanity into the same thing. (Nevertheless the lives of the sons and daughters of men be but a puff of air; yea, the sons and daughters of men all be liars, and if you put them on a balance, their lives shall be lighter than a breath, or a puff of air.) | 9 Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath. |
10 Do not ye have hope in wickedness, and do not ye covet ravens; if riches be plenteous, do not ye set the heart thereto. (Do not ye have trust in wickedness, and do not ye desire, or lust after, stolen goods; if riches be plentiful, do not ye set your heart on it.) | 10 Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them. |
11 God spake once, I heard these two things; that power is of God (that power belongeth to God), | 11 One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, |
12 and, thou Lord, mercy is to thee; for thou shalt yield to each man by his works. (and, O Lord, that true love is from thee; for thou shalt yield to each person according to his works.) | 12 and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done. |

As West labors in Libya and Syria, Russia seizes an opportunity
The military stalemate in Libya and the diplomatic hesitation over condemning Syria have created an opportunity for Russia to present itself to the Middle East as the un-NATO.

With the West, including the United States, stuck in a military stalemate in Libya, Russia is busy offering itself to the region as the un-NATO.
Just weeks after abstaining (rather than vetoing) a United Nations Security Council resolution authorizing the use of force in Libya, Russia is now pressing for a diplomatic solution to replace military intervention in Libya.
And Russia modeling itself to the region as an alternative to an interventionist West does not stop there.
It also is balking at a Europe-sponsored and US-backed UN resolution on Syria it says it fears would be used as a pretext for more military action. And this week it teamed up with China to castigate the West for overstepping bounds the two countries said have been set by the United Nations.
The Russians "suddenly see an opportunity for themselves in the Middle East," says Paul Saunders, a Russia specialist at the Center for the National Interest in Washington.
