Ah Too Faced Lash Injection PinPoint mascara - sorry but I can't say that it has been a pleasure meeting you >:(
Actually you take the price as THE WORST mascara I have tried so far! Let me explain why:
The formula of this mascara is really dry and difficult to apply. After some hard work (spending twice the amount of time I normally use on applying my mascara), I was left with neither volume nor length as promised - only dull looking lashes (have no idea where those advertised "3D Polymers" where hiding ).
It has an odd unpleasant smell but fortunately the smell disappears fast. Unfortunately, so does the mascara!
It did not take long for me to find myself with racoon eyes O_o (well actually I did manage to prance around at work for some time before discovering I looked like a long lost member of KISS).
I have tried many mascaras - some good, some not so good - but I have never ended up throwing a mascara out after one week - until I met Miss L.I. Pinpoint.
Now, I do like to think of myself as a fair and friendly person, so I would like to say something positive about this mascara and that is that the product has not been tested on animals.
Done - off you go miss Pinpoint!

This is supposed to be a tubing mascara...and I love tubing mascaras. However, this mascara is very waxy and still smudges terribly. Removal is not as easy as Blinc mascara or L'oreal's. I expected the tubes to slide right off with warm water but it just smeared all over like a waterproof mascara. Also, this mascara added zero volume or length. I gave it two lippies only because I've tried worse mascaras. Definitly will not repurchase.

A bit of background: I'd been using, and loving, MAC Optimum Black for quite a while, and thought I'd found my HG mascara, and everything would be great from now on.
BUT (cue ominous music): In early 2012, I was appalled to learn that Estee Lauder, MAC's parent company, has begun contracting for animal testing. As an ardent animal lover/respecter, I will no longer do business with MAC, or any other Estee Lauder brand, until and unless they change their ways.
Now, for the review: Too Faced is still cruelty-free, and Lash Injection, like Optimum Black, is a tubing mascara, so it seemed like a good option. I bought a sample size, and I actually like it fairly well. I'd been using disposable wands with the Optimum Black, and am continuing to use them with Pinpoint, so I can't really comment on Pinpoint's brush. A few highlights:
It *does* have a faint sort of orange juice smell, but even I, allergy-ridden, contact lenses-wearing soul that I am, don't find the smell a problem at all. In fact, I've heard that when the smell fades, that indicates that it's time to replace the mascara, and I rather like that reminder.
It's true that Pinpoint is better at lengthening than volumizing, but since I need more length than volume, that's okay with me. Using a good lash primer helps with volume, anyhow.
Pinpoint is very black, goes on smoothly, doesn't look or feel heavy, and it STAYS PUT, even on my super-oily lids.
I may try a few more tubing mascaras, but if I don't find anything I like better, I'll be satisfied with Pinpoint.
UPDATE: I was so pleased with the performane of my sample size Pinpoint that I bought a full-size, hoping to love it. Unfortunately, I don't. I like the brush, and the formula isn't clumpy, but I start to get raccoon eyes within seconds of applying this mascara, and that's a real deal-breaker for me. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm moving on.

I was very suprised by this mascara because not only is the brush so tiny and narrow but formula is really creamy however it really seperates each lash from the others very nicely without clumping, it lengthens pretty good but doesnt add much volume and I want volume and length, so if this came in a kit that'd be fine but I wouldnt buy it on it's own..

This mascara has a strong scent just like the regular Lash Injection. I love the brush because its so small its easy to get every lash from root to tip. This is a good everyday mascara because it leaves your lashes looking very natural. This mascara doesn't add volume but it adds definition. It doesn't leave your lashes looking dramatic. If you want more volume from your mascara you should check out the regular Lash Injection. My problem with this product, aside from the strong scent, is that it smudges on me. This is supposed to be a tubing mascara and so it should be waterproof. It definately is not waterproof and by the end of the day I always have dark smudges under my eyes. Maybe you'll have better luck than me but I can't recommend this product.

This is probably one of the most useless mascaras I have ever tried, and I have tried a TON!
Issue 1: Where the crap is the WAND?!?! I almost need a microscope to see it! It's **tiny**, both in diameter and length. A wand this tiny can't even dispense much mascara, rendering the wand completely useless.
Issue 2: It's claim is that it gives volume and length. I don't mind layering mascaras as I often do, but this doesn't provide either volume OR length. I've tried this multiple times to see if maybe I was just having a bad "lash" day, even tried it with a primer (my HG, Lancome Cils Booster XL) ... still nothing. I've tried $2 WnW mascaras that performed better than this overpriced one.
I have a lot of TF products that I love, this however will NEVER be one of them. Thankfully I didn't really pay for this as it came in a bonus as part of a set. Total disappointment all the way around. I'll stick w/ me L'oreal Voluminous for sure!

Mascara Trial for my wedding goes on and on ... I got the brown because I am a natural redhead with those red eyelashes, but it doesn't look like I'm wearing any mascara. I also had to coat it about 30 times, and it's not waterproof. FAIL.

An interesting and amazing trip. definitely worth the price. excellent local tour guide in Pompeii which brought the story alive. A great tour guide for the whole trip was Roberto who was in charge of us all day long. Amazing his knowledge and all. Roberto continue this way. wakee wakee, wake u up ;-)))

We needed a break after walking Rome for 2 days so Pompeii was it. The drive down was informative and the stop was welcomed. The museum was so neat I wish we could of spent more time there. Finally lunch and then Pompeii what a really cool experience, the tour guide was great I don't remember his name but he really knew his stuff. Because it was the holidays it wasn't as busy as usual which worked well for photos. The drive back was quiet as everyone was tired. The girls that did the tour on the bus were fun and nice and very good at their job.

My family greatly enjoyed this tour which we took on 24 Nov. Initially I thought it would be quite rushed since we need to cover two towns in one day trip but it turned out to be fine - we had enough time in both Orvieto and Assisi for taking in the sights and for prayers. We also had a delicious and leisurely lunch at a restaurant set within a holiday resort. Mara was our guide and she is simply fantastic - very enthusiastic, very friendly and very knowledgeable. We had Begonia as our guide in Assisi and she too was very good. We would not know many of the interesting facts and history of these places if not for Mara and Begonia. The trip overran a little longer as we took more time for prayers but Mara was very patient and accommodating. Highly recommended.

LOVED this tour!! Our tour guide Luca was incredible, and you could tell how much he knew and loved this history of Rome and surrounding areas. He spoke very clearly and kept us highly entertained with facts as we made our way to and through Pompeii. We also liked that City Wonders had our best interests at heart - even down to keeping us hydrated! When we got to lunch, the first drink was free and we were recommended to not order a second drink and just buy a bottle of water off the bus for a cheap 1 euro only, since the drinks in the restaurant were way more expensive! The tour of Pompeii was incredible, we would highly recommend this tour!!

This tour made for a very, very long day. I was sick, but I still enjoyed it. I wish I wasn't sick though, because this would have been one of the best tours I had been on! It was just non-stop amazing-ness. We even stopped along the way for a little limoncello and chocolate. The pizza was aaaamazing, and they give you a WHOLE pizza just for yourself! Many people didn't even finish. The climb up the volcano was a little hard, only because it was kind of steep, but worth it in the end. Pompeii itself was so neat, but I wish we had time to wander around the city by ourselves. It seemed like everyone was in a group tour though. Anyways, it was a very rewarding and interesting tour. Definitely worth the price.

Marco was the best tour driver ever! He was waiting for us with a super comfortable Mercedes van and made us feel like VIP tourists. We'd been in Rome for two days already, but he brought our experience together with interesting and engaging commentary about all the sights we passed as we drove through the city. His knowledge was much more than surface deep, and we learned so much. The six hour round trip car drive could have been uncomfortable, unpleasant, and dead-time, but we enjoyed it the whole time. We'd considered doing a group tour or taking a cab to Termini and then two trains to Pompeii, but that seemed so public and busy and full of potential snafus. We think that we got great value for money.

Our tour guide for the day (Sarah) was excellent. She made the the bus ride to Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii go much quicker, giving us a lot of interesting information and facts along the way. The man who took us on the actual tour of Pompeii itself was also very knowledgeable and made it very enjoyable.

Long day trip but do it if you have the time. We drove south away from Rome's rainy day to better weather in Naples. We had booked thinking we wouldn't be climbing Vesuvius. However we were lucky as excellent guide Elena phoned in to check, and it was open for the climb. Wonderful experience climbing the gravel paths up to the slightly smoking crater rim and looking down into a deep hole below. View of Naples muted in lifting mists but volcano experience trumped that. Good tour of Pompeii made interesting by guide Enrico. A well organised tour. For older guests it would be best if you have been doing some hilly walks beforehand as the uphill climb is constant for about 25 minutes but on a wide pathway.

SYDNEY, Feb. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hundreds of couples have danced on the forecourt of Sydney Opera House today in a specially choreographed Strictly Sydney moment. This event, under the direction of international celebrity, Baz Luhrmann, celebrates the forthcoming opening of Strictly Ballroom The Musical with previews from 25 March. Strictly Ballroom The Musical is exclusive to Sydney, secured by Destination NSW, the lead Government agency for the New South Wales (NSW) tourism and major events sectors.

(Photo: http://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20140223/8521400959-c )
Sydneysiders had been invited to register to participate in this event which was truly a Sydney community event. Dancers of all abilities arrived on site early to register dressed in every conceivable style of ballroom dancing attire. Emulating Scott Hastings from the film Strictly Ballroom all the men were given an iconic white Chesty Bonds singlet to wear and each participant received a memento specially designed by Catherin Martin.
Excitement reached fever pitch when the two stars of Strictly Ballroom The Musical, Thomas Lacey and Phoebe Panaretos, emerged in glittering costumes atop the sails of the Sydney Opera House. A chopper circled high above Sydney Harbour and captured the entire event.
Baz Luhrmann said "Most people know Strictly Ballroom as a movie but it began, as a piece of theatre and now it is an all-singing, all-dancing, live, stage musical. But it is more than that. As a show it reaches out not only to the audience but also to the community to become involved. That's what dancing does. It allows everybody to participate so it seemed like a fun and a fitting idea for us all to meet on the forecourt of the Opera House and create a scene together from Strictly Ballroom."
Strictly Ballroom the Musical opens exclusive to Sydney, on March 25 2014, at Sydney Lyric Theatre, The Star. Travel packages are available from Showbiz at showbiz.com.au/strictlyballroom.

There's no need to bring a wallet to the Kids Fishing Rodeo at Mistletoe State Park in Appling on Saturday.
The annual park program will be held in conjunction with Georgia State Parks' "Your State Parks Day" so the usual $5 parking fee will be waived, said Brenda Bettross, Mistletoe's program assistant.
"There is no charge in Georgia state parks on this day," she said.
That means children of all ages can attend the Kids Fishing Rodeo and enjoy the day's festivities.
For 16 years, Columbia County Cares has been holding an annual spaghetti supper fundraiser to help offset expenses. They hope this year it's the biggest yet.
"Columbia County Cares Inc. was organized as a cooperative ministry of Columbia County churches," said Dave Iverson, the executive director of the nonprofit organization. "We are a 100 percent volunteer staff and 100 percent donation supported."
Standing water and mosquitoes are a potentially deadly combination and county officials want to ensure residents are safe as possible during their time outdoors.
Mosquitoes are known carriers of the West Nile Virus. Only about one in 500 of the insects carry the virus, which can lead to serious illness or death.
The increased number of West Nile cases in the United States in recent weeks makes it the largest outbreak of the virus since the late 1990s, according to the Centers for Disease Control. More than 1,000 cases have been reported, with nearly 50 deaths.
Kathy Leysath takes gardening seriously. So much so that the Martinez resident has kept a photo journal of her gardens since moving into her home in 2002.
"I photograph plants and trees at different seasons of the year, and once a year I make my husband pose in front of trees and shrubs that we have planted since we moved in," she said in an e-mail. "Using him as a point of reference helps us keep track of how tall the trees have gotten."
Educator LeAnne Byrd hopes her new venture will give youngsters a hand up in academics.
As the owner of Heart to Home Learning Inc., Byrd will offer tutoring services to homeschooled and public school students. She also plans to help at-risk and troubled youngsters who have been kicked out of school.

There seems to be a debate brewing on just when tomatoes should be plucked from the vine and exactly what to do to produce the healthiest plants. Several local tomato growers have weighed in on the subject.
Richmond County Extension Agent Sid Mullis contends that the intended use of the tomato should really be the determining factor in deciding when to pick it.
Augusta Preparatory Day School will hold its annual art show highlighting the talents of its student and faculty artists on Saturday.
The fundraiser, held from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Augusta Prep's Flowing Wells Road campus in Martinez, will feature art by the school's students and faculty in an Artists Row. Many works will be sold during a silent auction.
The event also will showcase the school's student chefs in a "Top Chef" dessert competition.
Information for students with disabilities and their families will be available Saturday at the CSRA Transition Resource Fair.
The event is a joint effort between numerous agencies.
"The fair is intended to share information regarding available resources in the community for individuals with disabilities," said Teri Pettyjohn, coordinator of special services for the Columbia County Board of Education. "The specific goal is to help students and their families learn about how to plan for transition to adult living post high school."
Raising money to help feed the area's hungry is what the Empty Bowl is all about, and this year's event will be from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
Sponsored by the Augusta Jewish Community Center and Golden Harvest Food Bank, the event includes a luncheon with a variety of soups, breads and desserts, along with a silent auction and raffle. Each guest leaves with a ceramic bowl made by local students and artists.
Local growers and farmers want to share their advice and products with area gardeners during the Augusta Locally Grown Grow Your Own Fair on Tuesday.
The event at the Augusta Jewish Community Center on Weinberger Way in Evans will run 2-7 p.m.
Augusta Locally Grown is a nonprofit group out to encourage people to "grow their own food or to buy locally that which they can't grow," said event organizer Kim Hines.

After the contest, I talked for a few minutes with Demon, who services video games on the East Coast when he's not rocking the free world. He spoke in such fragments that it was like having a conversation with Boomhauer from King of the Hill. I asked Demon his age, and he replied 39, then quickly changed his mind: "I'm actually forty. When you're born and you have your first birthday, you're actually entering into your second year of life -- so I'm forty."
"So from the looks of it, you're a bona fide guitarist, yeah?" I asked.
"I'm not a rock star," he replied. "So I don't do that. But people can see my ability. I lost by a tenth of a point in Chicago, because they pulled out some ŒBlack Betty' shit," he added with obvious exasperation, referring to the Leadbelly tune. "At least here they played some classic Van Halen. Who knows what they'll have me play in L.A.? Maybe Nelly or some shit like that."

Hi everyone,
I know it has been mentioned here before but just wanted to know how many people have thorns on their tree. I bought mine from Home Depot the other day and as I have been researching it to make sure I can keep it happy and healthy I noticed alot of places saying that they are nearly thornless!!!Thats not the case with mine.I have almost inch long thorns on most of my branches. Does this mean I dont have a real Improved Meyer Lemon tree???Also it does not have any flowers on it is this normal? thorns on |

Kev, my Meyer's has thorns..The lable ID'd as Improved Meyer's so I'm assuming it is..Thorns are about 1" long, but don't cover the entire tree/s. (I've more than one Meyers) Is your tree grafted? What's it's age/height? Now that days are getting longer, (thank goodness) citrus should flower..the thing about Meyer's, seems they're always in bloom and/or fruit. Make sure your tree is getting enough sun/additional artificial light..Some humidity and fresh, circulating air..Cooler nights help, too. In summer, (if possible) set outside..Fertilize..Toni |
I bought a variegated improved Meyer Lemon at least 4 yrs. ago at Lowe's and it has never had thorns,; it's blooms are heavily scented (and heavenly scented!) and although I only have it in a 10 gallon pot it provides about 10-12 fruits every year. I am in zone 8B in Texas and protect it in the winter. Some people say that they have planted it in the soil in zone 8 B but I just don't trust that. |
Thanks for the replies Im not sure if its grafted or not,does grafted mean a clone? |

Our new house, currently being remodeled, has a non-working electric cook top. I have always cooked with gas. Willing to switch to Induction, but my pots and pans will need to be replaced due to the fact most are NOT magnetic. Trust me, I put a magnet to them........ There is a propane tank on site, and the fire places and dryer have the hookups. Also the pool heater. With propane, we will have to have the propane plumbed to the cook top at an unknown expense ranging +-$1000. Advantages and disadvantages of both? Thanks so much! Suzi |
Follow-Up Postings:
The upside of propane is that you can use the cook top during a power outage. You just have to light with a match. |
The first question is where do you live? If you live in the center of the US, propane is half the cost than in the east and may be cheaper than electricity. If you are in the country and power often goes out for extended periods then gas may be useful. However, our power has gone out for hours and we never seem to need to be cooking. If power was out for days, would you cook or just go visit your relatives or best friend? If I had known about induction and how almost everyone loves it, and had realized how much propane had gone up compared with electric cost, I would have gone for it. The propane rate has shot up fast. When our house was built in 1999, propane was half the electric rate and now it is almost double. If gas installation would really be $1000, then it seems like a no brainer but I think your propane company would likely do the installation for you for the cost of the pipe only. There is another annoyance of propane. Gas cooktops are almost always built for natural gas. The conversion may not give you the full range of your valves. For example, the flame on some burners will go from low to highest by turning the knob from low to less than medium. Sealed burners have no air shutter control. I imagine a classic design stove like a Blue star would not have that issue. By the way, I have heard that there are some cooktops that will not open the burner valves if power is not present! |

:-) I already asked the propane company and they said to hire a plumber. I heard that propane is a weaker flame than gas, and you can't get it to cook on as high heat... takes longer to boil? You do make a good point about not being able to cook with induction when the power goes off, but there's always the BBQ. I live in Southern California and was told propane is much cheaper here. Not sure how long that will last. I also heard that an advantage of induction is that it doesn't heat your house so much. Thanks for all your opinions! This is a big decision, and I appreciate them! |
- Posted by Caliente63 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 9:33
Go and play with an induction cooktop that is hooked up and live. I think you will find the decision very easy after that. If you are in a hot area, any money you save on propane vs. electricity will be lost on additional electric costs for the AC to get the heat from a gas cooktop out of the house. The majority of the heat from gas goes into the air, not the pan. ~85% of the heat from induction goes into the pan. |
This post was edited by Caliente63 on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 9:36
To me this is a no-brainer. We moved into a house which was on propane. The cost of heating was astronomical. We converted to natural gas. Our monthly bill for natural gas is roughly a quarter of what it was on propane. The house came with a GE Monogram gas cooktop which I hated. The igniters worked intermittently, none of the burners had sufficiently high heat for wok cooking and cleanup was tedious. To cut a long story short, we went looking at various gas cooktop options, my preference being for Bluestar. But we needed a real vent to replace the useless downdraft vent which came with the Monogram cooktop. When I realized what we needed to vent from a high-power gas cooktop, I started to investigate induction and that is what we installed. I couldn't be happier. Cheryl |
I have always had gas and intended to re-hook up gas in our new-to-us, but actually rather old house. I came here for help choosing a gas range and ended up reading all the induction threads. I switched my plans to induction and have had the induction range since December. I love it and have no regrets. I would do induction again in a heartbeat. |
Yes Cheryl, natural gas over propane is a no brainer. You are lucky that natural gas has reached your house. I had natural gas for 60 years and didn't appreciate that propane was so different because it must be delivered. I had just assumed that gas of any kind was cheaper than electric, and it was, when my house was built, but not any more. I suppose that fracking might change things but I would guess that electric would still be as good as propane in the expensive regions. Suzi, I think almost everything should direct you to induction. The cost savings of propane vs electric in your region is nice but cooking is only a small part of overall energy cost. If you converted your space heating and water heater to propane, then propane could be a very good deal eventually after recouping the cost of the appliances. However your heating costs are already low, so recoup time would be long, and unless the water heater and heating systems are breaking down today, it is almost certainly not worth it. I don't think there is a difference between heating times between natural gas and propane, but electric will beat either of them and induction will beat electric. I converted from electric to propane because we were used to the better control/response of gas. If I had known about induction, I would have considered it. I hear it is even far more responsive than gas. Of course you will have to get new pans, but considering the installation cost for propane, that is a big savings for new stuff: Win Win! |

I'm listening! Thanks so much! DH won't be happy about the cost of an induction, but what you all say is making sense to me. He will also have to buy me an entire set of new cookware :-))!! Natural gas is not an option. The house is on a high hill on a private road in county property (not incorporated), and there are no gas lines. The water heater is on propane. My choice is propane or induction. The summers are about 105 degrees average in the days, but cool nights. The AC and pool will be in use for sure. Thanks for all the input! Suzi |
Assuming you don't go high end cookware, and I think there are posts about economical cook sets (COSTCO?); remind DH how much money you will save not needing the new gas line. |
DesertDance, I'm enjoying induction and there are many options for cookware. The Induction Cooktops are very different. Check the features Good Luck! |
Check out the tramontina cookware available at Wal-Mart. Very reasonable cost, induction friendly, great reviews. |
- Posted by desertdance (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 13:49
Wow! Great responses! MaryOne, I would love to know the differences. I know that some take the energy from unused burners and combine into one for faster cooking. I do want that feature! Thanks for the cookware ideas too! Suzi |
- Posted by weedmeister (My Page) on Wed, Mar 13, 13 at 14:01
That pool heater will eat you alive in propane costs. If you can do solar, you should think about it. |
Suzi: 1. A couple of questions to start with about the the present electrical set-up. Is the cooktop not working because the controller(s) failed or is there a problem with the wiring? What size is the circuit breaker for the cooktop and what gauge is the wiring? I ask because wiring problems sometimes can be expensive. I've seen some older house in my area which have range outlets on 30 amp circuits with 10 gauge cable. My recollection is that pretty much any current electric cooktop -- whether coil, radiant smoothtop or induction --- requires a 40 amp circuit and 8 gauge (# 8 AWG) cable. Something to check into as part of deciding between induction and gas. (But maybe you are re-wiring as part of the kitchen remodel, anyway?) 2. Relative purchase costs; here is my take. I am assuming we are talking about 30" cooktops. If you are looking for 36" cooktops, then add a couple of $200 to these prices. Basic gas cooktops can be had for $500 to $600, but that may be illusory if you like to cook. A lot of folks here at GW would not recommend those cooktops because they will be slow to heat, will not simmer well, and have other performance and reliability issues. The ones recommended here run $1000 and up. Interestingly enough, Consumer Reports testing agrees and none of its recommended 30" gas cooktops are under $1000, and most are in the $1200 to $1600 range. So, with your $1000+ expense of adding a gas line to the cooktop area of the kitchen, the cost of a decent 30" gas cooktop could easily run you $2200 to to $2600, if not more. Propane conversion kits may or may not be included in the price of the cooktops. If you have to buy one, the cost seems to run inf the $50 to $100 range, depending where you get it. You may have to pay somebody to install it There are some 30" induction cooktops in the the range of $1000 to $1300. The least expensive is the IKEA for $999, which is actually a rebadged Whirlpool unit. The Whirlpool branded unit seems to sell for around $1200 at the likes of AJ Madison. Reviews of these have been mixed and there have been numbers of reports that some of Whirlpool's similar Kitchenaid models (which run about $1500 for the upmarket branding) have problems with clicking and buzzing noises and reliability. (There was a recent thread here that points to a you-tube video that demonstrates issues.) Frigidaire and Sears/Kenmore have some induction cooktops for around $1200-1300 and these seem to have more favorable reviews. (The Kenmores may be made by Electrolux-Frigidiare, btw.) There much are more favorable reviews for induction cooktops in in the $1400 to $1900 range from Electrolux, GE, Bosch and LG. (The LG has a bridge burner for rectangular griddles, too, if you like that.) Gary Dodge has numbers of postings iwth video and photos and details of using his electrolux induction cooktop if you want to go that route. Of course there are more units with favorable reviews as you go above those price ranges. So, depending on how far up market you buy, an induction cooktop could cost you between $500 and $1000 less than going with a propane cooktop for which you would have to install the gas line to the kitchen. Assuming no rewiring is required for theinduction.. 3. Relative oparating costs. Might or might not be much difference between running a propane cooktop versus and electric/induction cooktops. As chaos045 says, fFor most people, the marginal costs of fuel for cooking appliances are a pretty small part of the enegry budget for a house. Other things -- particularly water heating, refrigerators, HVAC, poll-heaters, and clothes dryers --- make a much bigger difference. But, if you or your husband want to take a gander at the relative operating costs of gas and electrical stoves, you can try "Mr. Electricity's" calculatorfor which I've provided the link at the bottom of this post. 4. Efficiency When contemplating energy costs, though, bear in mind that induction is a lot more efficient than coil and radiant burners in delivering energy/heat to pans. This can make a difference to you in a couple of ways. First, as others have noted, induction puts a whole lot less heat into your kitchen. That is, around 84% of the energy goes into the pans with induction (and some manufacturers claim 90%). With coils, it is more like 70% and radiant burners run more in the 50% range. So, a lesser load on the A/C system but, more importantly, much less heat for the cook. I don't know about you, but my heat tolerance has declined precipitously as I've aged. Once upon a time, I could work in restaurant kitchens. I was fine when the government had me running around Twenty Nine Palms in the mid-day summer sun in full gear. But, those days are long gone for me. So, if I lived in SoCal or the southwest or the South, induction would be pretty much a given for me for cooking dinner in the hot months. The other difference the in-home efficiency makes is that you likely will use less energy for cooking because 30% to 40% more of it goes into the pot. Think of it like mileage in cars. You may drive just as far and go just as fast, but you need less fuel. 5. Cooktop performance: First, as others have noted, converting the cooktop's fittings for propane usually results in reducing burner output by about 20% to 25% below the rated output for the cooktop when fueled by natural gas. This mainly makes a difference for higher heat applications. It may make a difference for stir frying and sauteing, depending on how much you do and the quatities you make. It will make a large difference for boiling, as for water for pasta or potatoes. With a propane-converted cooktop, it may take you 25 minutes to boil 4 quarts of water for pasta where, with the induction cooktop, it can be less than 10 ten minutes. Second, induction burners will likely give more even heat than the low-to-mid range gas-cooktop burners, whether the gas burners are NG or LP. Pretty much all such gas burners in the low-to-mid price range use a mushroom shaped "capped" burner, with flames in a single ring around the outer edge of the burner cap. Depending on cookware and what you are cooking, this can put heat in a ring pattern. Induction burners, will give you a steadier and more even spread of heat. So, you are less likely to scorch some of that pot of beans or chile or rice. Do note, that proper pan sizing is important with induction burners. Get a pan too much larger than the burner size and you may find high heat concentrated directly above the burner. Third, induction is hard to beat for long simmers, as for stock and such. Fourth, propane will be usable in the event of the rolling blackouts that seem to have plagued parts of California in recent years. The degree of benefit seems uncertain, however. Most of those outages seem to have occurred during the hottest parts of the year when there are rolling blackouts or wildfires. When the temp is 105F and the a/c is out of commission, will you really want to be firing up a cooktop inside your now non-air-conditioned house? There may be limitations for induction if you do much canning or preserving using multiple large pots. One large pot is usually not a problem with induction cooktops (although it may block the use of other burners on a 30" cooktop), but some induction cooktop manuals caution against the weight of several large canning kettles. 6. Cookware: The Tramontina induction capable "clad" cookware at Walmart can be a very good deal. Cooks Illustrated's testing gives it pretty high marks. Costco has had sets of induction capable pans for around $200, but the choices vary. Sometimes they have a Kirkland stainless-steel induction capable set. Sometimes they carry Ciculon Premier Professional, which are annodized non-stick pans with induction disks in the base. (I got mine with a coupon for $179). Sometimes they have a similar Kirkland annodized non-stick induction set. Check out other postings if you need to buy new cookware. hope this helps. |

Thanks for that link! I'm sure DH will use it! I've been convinced by all the comments that induction is the way to go. I am lucky that only one part of the electric cook top currently there that is not working is the griddle. I have NEVER been able to cook on electric. I burn everything! Happy that it will be replaced! Actually this is a whole house remodel, and the kitchen is a part of it. I'm tuned to this forum because every appliance will be replaced as well as all cabinetry. A contractor is handling everything and the home has been inspected, so we do know the issues we face. Induction will answer my prayers, backed up with an outdoor propane BBQ with a side burner. All the wiring has been checked and an electrician will be fixing all issues. The pool will save us in summer if there is a power outage, but those are rare. We don't intend to heat the pool, but we may use a solar blanket on certain days. The pool has a grotto under a waterfall with a nice shelf for your cool drink. It's all shady under there. Suzi |
I was just reading the other post about tramontina cookware, and am only repeating what I saw there. apparently there are two grades of the stuff and perhaps only the newer, lower quality or at least thinner, is available. I would suggest you look at the other thread, it is current. |
Marshall's/TJMAxx/Home Goods or Tuesday Morning are also good sources for affordable induction capable pans, especially if you don't care if all the pieces match. BB&B has Emeril by Allclad and a Calphalon set that are both induction capable, but they are more expensive than the Tramontina at Walmart. I had to get my Tramontina Triply Clad from Walmart.com in 2011 - they didn't have it in the store. It is pretty heavy. I found lighter pots by European companies like Fissler at Marshall's. Keep a refrigerator magnet in your purse at all times! |

I purchased Tramontina from Walmart when we opted for induction last year. I read lots of good stuff about it on Chowhound. I am very happy with the cookware and with the choice of induction. Originally, we were going to go with propane; we are in the NorthEast so everything is expensive here but natural gas is not an option for us. Two things sold me on induction. 1) the efficiency is somewhere around 85%, gas is about 1/2 of that. With high costs associated with both, the more efficient unit ends up costing less. I have a Bosch 800 series induction and can boil water much faster than my microwave - I'd say in at least half the time off the top of my head. The immediate response to power adjustments is incredible. 2) the lack of heat brought into the kitchen area. We do have central a/c, but don't run it unless the humidity gets intolerable in the summer. I like that the unit doesn't add additional heat to the kitchen area. The induction cooktop is super easy to clean. If you happen to spill something while cooking, you can lift the pot and wipe the surface clean. We don't fry, but if cooking bacon, you can layer the cooktop with paper towels or newspaper to catch splatter and simply toss them out when finished cooking. Since we have had multiple long term power outages these past two years, one pro for propane was cooking during loss of power. However, those same power outages have taught us that there really is not much that you can't cook on an outdoor grill. We lived off our grill in every outage we've had. Eggs, omelets, pizza, mac 'n' cheese - we've eaten very well each time. This past year, since I had tossed my old cookware, we even put our tramontina pots out on the grill when making meals. A good cleaning with barkeeper's friend brought back the shine. Induction is a great option and Tramontina pots are a reasonably priced option for cookware! |

Well, ANY range that couldn't boil water faster than a microwave would be out my door so fast! MW are one of the least efficient units in any kitchen for heating water (electric kettles are among the best). So that's hardly much of a testimony for induction performance. |

Electric kettles are the most efficient way of heating water (close to 100% efficient on "old school" exposed element models), but not the fastest, because they have limited power. People in the UK have 3kW kettles - those are pretty quick, but in N. America typical modesls seem to be 1.5kW. A good induction cooktop is likely to be putting around 3kW into the kettle, so it will be much faster than a N. American electric kettle and about the same as a modern British electric kettle. |

I timed boiling one quart of room temperature water (64F) on my induction cooktop and it took 2 minutes, 3 seconds. I repeated this in my Braun electric kettle and it took 2 minutes 42 seconds. Cheryl |

Sorry cooksnsews, but after cooking on an electric coil for 15 years that boiled water slower than a microwave, the 2 minutes it takes to bring a quart of our quite chilly well water to a rolling boil is amazing to us! With induction, everything is focused on heating the pan, not on the burner getting hot and in turn heating the pan like with an electric cooktop or gas cooktop. It's extremely fast and twice as efficient as gas. |

Good luck! We have Emerilware Stainless cookware that we use on Induction. It is avialable everywhere and is budget conscious. If you want nonstick pans, we have Infinite Circulon, where we got a few bonus pieces as part of our Samsung range. Cast iron like LeCreuset (or other brands like Martha Stewart) also work on induction. We use our LeCreuset grill pan at least once a week. |
I put induction in our new kitchen. I was Up North cooking on a friends high end but propane range. It took forever to boil the pasta water and had forgotten about how much heat is wasted going into the kitchen. I almost burned my hands from the side heat from the flames.... So, even though it took time to make friends with my induction, I am happy with the decision. I do have some buzzing but barely audible with the fan running. |
We're approaching one year with our Thermador induction cooktop and we could not be happier...it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's powerful, highly responsive, extremely reliable, a breeze to keep "showroom clean," and it's beautiful as well (we went with the mirror-finish model). |
Thank you nlion for posting on this thread at this time. I opened GW this morning hoping to get some guidance into whether to stay with my dream of a 36" induction cooktop or to install a 36" lp rangetop. Sadly, I will have to sell my house shortly after this renovation and not stay here forever, as I originally planned. My realtor told me not to bother with induction because all buyers want is gas. Thanks to this thread, I am happily resolved to install the induction after all. My plan was for the 36" Thermador, non-mirrored and that's what will go in. If a buyer doesn't want it, I can always remove it and take it with me. Personally I would think that it would be a selling plus, but I'm not in the business. Thanks again! |

Your "vintage" plans are
Your "vintage" plans are still wonderful... I'm in the process of building a farmhouse bed right now!
How to build modern style bunk beds inspired by Land of Nod Addison Bunk Beds! Free simple step by step plans with full diagrams, shopping list and cut list.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
This plan does not include recommended ladder and guardrail system. The guardrail and ladder plans can be found in the Simple Bunk Bed Plans.
7 - 2x4 @ 8 feet long
6 - 2x6 @ 10 feet long
4 - 2x6 @ 8 feet long
2 - 2x2 @ 8 feet long
You can use 2 1/2" pocket hole screws or 2 1/2" countersunk screws to joint slats to legs
Recommend using 32 - 3 1/2" bolts with nuts and washers for attaching siderails to headboard/footboard
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
18 - 2x6 @ 36"
4 - 2x4 @ 72"
4 - 2x4 @ 18"
4 - 2x4 @ 33"
4 - 2x4 @ 10"
4 - 2x6 @ 82"
4 - 2x2 @ 75"
Slats cut at 39" or bunkie board
On the ends, I'd start at the top and work my way down. You can use a Kreg Jig set for 1 1/2" stock and 2 1/2" screws, or countersink screws, at least 2 1/2" long. These boards aren't huge for support, but you still want to make sure the ends are sturdy and strong.
Once your ends are built, add the leg spacer trim pieces. Now this plan assumes your 2x6s are 5 1/2" wide. I would use a scrap 2x6 piece as a spacer to make sure you are getting the right gaps for the next step. Start at the bottom and work your way up.
TIP: Cut the top sections last as they may be long or short depending on the width of your 2x6 boards.
To assemble, drill four holes in pattern on each end of the siderails, through the legs. Attach with bolts and washers. This way, your bed can easily be taken apart and moved.
The cleats are only screwed to the siderails.
You can use a bunkie board or slat system.

Thank you so much for these plans Ana! I promised my daughter I would make her a bunk bed as soon as I finished my farmhouse bed and I just couldn't settle on any of the plans. I knew I wanted it to be as simple as possible with the use of 2x4s and here you come like a knight (what's the female version?) in shining armor to save the day! She will be thrilled!
Hi Ana!
Your site is absolutely wonderful!!!!!
I was trying to find building plans in my native language, but couldn´t find anything. When I searched in English, your site came up and I´m totally excited building the bunk bed and other stuff!!! Thank you sooooo much
Alex replied on Permalink
I have been searching for an end ladder bunk, to save space. (We had one growing up). Is there any reason that I can't just space the end pieces a little further apart, like a ladder? I can't think of a reason, but would love some reassurance here :)
Cheers and thanks :)
Darrel replied on Permalink
I built a similar design for my nephew and spaced it like you said and it is still working fine for him. Going on three years of use and still solid. I didn't use as many 2x6's for the ends but it is still a solid design.
KAW1019 replied on Permalink
Is the shopping list incorrect stating two 2x2's needed? A cleat for each side rail is needed and therefore should call for four 2x2's unless I am missing something (which could be the case). Can someone confirm? We are enjoying building these beds. Thanks!
Gloria replied on Permalink
Hi, I am going to build the bunk bed ladder, but im having trouble reading
the measurements for the spacing on the ladder steps/rungs. could you please email the spacing to me. I would really appreciate it! BTW I love you website and all the wonderful things you have made! :)
Mae replied on Permalink
I can't print the PDF to do the project. Looks good, but adding lots of steps of printing out JPGs and coming in and out of the house for the next steps.
Brett replied on Permalink
We love these plans, but can't print them because the PDF is broken.
swpagnani replied on Permalink
I'm needing to build these bunk beds ASAP could you please fix the PDF?
The link to the PDF is broken. Is is possible to fix this?
samantha0401 replied on Permalink
Can you please update the link for the PDF version of the plans for the Side Street Bunk Beds? Thanks!!!
I'm in the process of making the bunk beds. The PDF link is brken, and I don't see plans for the ladder or rail. Any chance you could post them or e-mail them? email@example.com

Can the flex-connect cold shoe mount attach to a Sealife DC1200, and can the mount accept a Sola 1200 focus light? If that doesnt work, are there any other options available to mount a Sola focus light to a DC1200? Thanks...
Hello Rick, if you want to your Solo dive light to use with the: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/168172/Light---Motion-Compact-Dive-Video-Arm.html kit.
I bought a hot shoe to attach my dragon light directly onto the top of DC 1400 housing so that I dont always have to use a tray. But I cannot find the instructions for attaching it to the housing itself. There looks to be a part on the housing that might come off to accommodate the hot shoe but I am reluctant to start prying off parts without some instructions. Thanks
Made of fiber-reinforced polycarbonate and marine grade stainless steel for maximum holding strength and durability, Flex-Connect mounts easily "click" into place, underwater or on land, and can be disassembled with the push of a button. Flex-Connect allows you to transform your camera set from compact to full-featured in
just seconds, providing a quick way to adjust to any dive environment: add Flex-Arms to extend your lights with 100-degrees of bending motion, use the Cold Shoe Mount or Micro-Tray for an incredibly compact setup, or connect multiple lights to your camera with the Dual Tray.

'A Good Day to Die Hard' International Trailer and Poster Further Pussify John McClane's Catch Phrase
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 25, 2012 | Comments (1)Though the atrocities committed by Len Wiseman's installment in the Die Hard franchise, Live Free or Die Hard, were myriad, perhaps none was more grievous than its pussification of John McClane's catch phrase, "Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker," to the coy and no less offensive, "Yippee ki-yay, *gunshot noise*," so that what should have been a hard R-rated action movie could get a PG-13 rating and play to an audience of teenyboppers who probably don't even know what a Die Hard is. The first trailer for this fifth installment in the Die Hard franchise, director John Moore's A Good Day to Die Hard, didn't give us any indication as to whether or not the real version of McClane's catch phrase would be reinstated in this film—instead it was just an adrenaline pumping mishmash of guns shooting, things exploding, and women undressing; which is fine and all, but doesn't give us much to go by when judging how this film is going to differ from its predecessors. This international trailer for the film, along with a poster that was debuted by Entertainment Weekly, give us a little bit more of an idea of what to expect, however, and not all of it is good. This trailer gives us a little bit more plot (it becomes clear that McClane has traveled to Moscow to get his son out of some kind of trouble), it gives us a little bit more McClane dialogue (it turns out he's still gruff and put upon), and it even […]
'Elena' Teases Twists But Chooses Character Study Instead (Russia)
Foreign Objects By Rob Hunter on June 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe goal of this column has always been to explore international cinema from all around the globe. To that end I've been an inconsistent tour guide as our destinations haven't been as evenly spread about as they could have been. My own preferences lean towards traditional Asian, Western European and South American cinema which means Foreign Objects explores places like Africa, Eastern Europe or India very rarely. Russia is a huge country with a long-standing film community, but in our 131 installments we've only visited there twice… first for the abysmal Philosophy of a Knife and then for the mediocre Alien Girl. Which probably explains why it took so damn long for me to return… Elena is a fifty-something house wife to a well-off retiree named Vladimir. Together just two years, their relationship is more an extension of how they met than a true marriage. She was a nurse, he was a patient, and now her caregiver role continues. She sleeps on a couch, wakes early, keeps the high rise apartment clean and prepares Vladimir's breakfast, lunch and dinner. Both have grown children from previous marriages, both of them irresponsible in their own ways, but while Vladimir has a soft spot for his daughter he harbors nothing but disdain for Elena's son. A heart attack sidelines the old man, and with callous forethought he informs Elena that he's going to change his will to make his daughter sole inheritor. What's a mother with a son and infant grandson in need […]
Drink Until You See Invisible Aliens with 'The Darkest Hour' Drinking Game
Drinking Games By Kevin Carr on April 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs the Christmas week movies continue to roll out on DVD and Blu-ray this spring, you're left with plenty of holiday-themed choices after Easter, like the weepy Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and the equally rapey The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and In the Land of Blood and Honey. Why not consider some invisible killer aliens to go in with the mix. Telling the story of random survivors on the streets of Moscow after a violent interstellar invasion, The Darkest Hour gives the world hope… if your definition of hope is a dancing at a killer club scene with Speed Racer before blindly battling electric aliens. While vodka might be the obvious choice, you might want something a little more light, especially if you opt for the at-home 3D version of the film. Focus might become a problem.
Foreign Objects: Alien Girl (Russia)
Features By Rob Hunter on January 20, 2011 | Be the First To CommentContemporary Russian cinema is an odd beast in the sense that not a lot of it seems to be reaching our shores. The last director from the region to make a splash in the Western world was Timur Bekmambetov. His modern day fantasies about the Swatch phenomenon, Night Watch and Day Watch, netted him production deals in Hollywood and his successful US debut with Wanted, but since then the iron curtain of creativity has seemingly been dropped back into place. But just because US audiences aren't seeing them doesn't mean they're not out there. Case in point is the new film Alien Girl… a violent crime thriller about bad guys with guns and a badder woman with brains. And a vagina.

THEN BRANDENBURG'S OFFICE WAS ASKED TO LEAVE THE SCENE OF AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING. APD SAYS BRANDENBURG'S DECISION TO PROSECUTE THE OFFICERS IN THE BOYD SHOOTING PRESENTS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST, AND IT WANTS AN INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR TO HANDLE FUTURE POLICE SHOOTINGS. In the last couple months I've become more realistic and I don't see us as partners like we should be- as we were at one time. BRANDENBURG KNOWS HER RECENT STANCE WILL MAKE ENEMIES AND COULD HAVE REPERCUSSIONS. I've no doubt I'll be retaliated against again and again because of the stance I'm taking.

Can any body help ,I purchased an established Fushia with an abundance of large blooms , sadly it has now been reduced to an abundance of smaller blooms is this due to deadheading, or is it possible to take measures to cut back some of the shoots, to have quality rather than quantity.

Hi Johnny, Do you happen to know the name of the fuchsia? Is it an upright or a trailer? Is it growing in the garden or in a pot? If in a pot, where is it placed ie in respect of sun/shade? How long have you had it? Have you been feeding it? - Kath:) |

$25M Lawsuit For Inmate Who Died In Hot NYC Cell
05.16.14 |
The mother of a mentally ill, homeless veteran who was found dead in a one-hundred-degree New York City jail cell that overheated due to an equipment malfunction in February plans to file a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit against the city, her lawyer plans to announce.
Alma Murdough's attorney, Derek Sells, also will ask the city to preserve all communications and 911 recordings regarding former Marine Jerome Murdough's death on Rikers Island at a press conference on Friday, he said.
Sells filed a notice of claim, the first procedural step necessary for a civil suit against the city, with the comptroller's office on April 30 on behalf of the inmate's 75-year-old mother. In it, he writes that 56-year-old Murdough's death was caused by carelessness and negligence by Department of Correction employees.
Prosecutors in the Bronx are investigating the death.
"This case involves a tragic incident and we will review the lawsuit and respond accordingly," said Nick Paolucci, a spokesman for the city's law department.
Correction officials have declined to comment, citing the ongoing criminal investigation.
The Associated Press first reported in March on suspicions about Murdough's cause of death. One official who spoke at the time on the condition of anonymity described him as having "basically baked to death."
Court documents filed last month in a separate federal court case citing a preliminary DOC investigation, show Murdough's internal body temperature, taken nearly four hours after he was discovered unresponsive in his cell in the early hours of Feb. 15, was 103 degrees. It said the cell was 101 degrees. Murdough was slumped at the edge of the foot of his bed with "a pool of vomit and blood on the floor."
A spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office says the exact cause and manner of Murdough's death have not yet been determined, pending further studies. But the court documents show the medical examiner investigator assigned to Murdough's case preliminarily found he likely died of hyperthermia.
Murdough was on psychotropic medication at the time of his death, which experts say can make people sensitive to heat. DOC officials have said he was left unattended for hours.
Murdough was arrested Feb. 7 on a misdemeanor trespassing charge for sleeping in an enclosed stairwell on the roof of a Harlem public housing building and was sent to Rikers Island after being unable to make $2,500 bail, according to court records.
