Greatly inspired by St. Paul (his congregation is named the Barnabites, after the companion of that saint), Anthony preached with great vigor in church and street, conducted popular missions and was not ashamed of doing public penance.
He encouraged such innovations as the collaboration of the laity in the apostolate, frequent Communion, the Forty Hours devotion and the ringing of church bells at 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.
His holiness moved many to reform their lives but, as with all saints, it also moved many to oppose him. Twice his community had to undergo official religious investigation, and twice it was exonerated.
While on a mission of peace, he became seriously ill and was brought home for a visit to his mother. He died at Cremona at the age of 36.

City of Rochester employee facing drug charges
A city of Rochester employee with a clean work record is facing federal drug charges.
Christopher Kendrick is charged with possessing cocaine with intent to distribute.
Rochester Police found him with more than 20 kilograms of cocaine in his vehicle last week.
Kendrick worked for Rochester's Department of Environmental Services. His responsibilities included cutting grass, picking up the trash, and making sure the city was clean.
"He was a great employee," said Mayor Lovely Warren. "We didn't have any issues with him but of course we are going back to look at the record and a lot of that will be able to determine but some of it we'll be able to share, others will be confidential."

Confusion Arises as Wisdom
Gampopa's Heart Advice on the Path of Mahamudra
How could confusion arise as wisdom? According to the Mahamudra view, confusion arises as wisdom when we realize that everything we experience is the radiance of the mind's own nature. And what is the nature of our mind? And how do we come to recognize that? These are the questions Gampopa answers for his students in the text commented upon here, known as the Great Community Talks. He shows… Read More

Lovely pictures!...can't help, I was at Seaworld, for sure, this is a must! Konrad |
Wouldn't you know... Yesterday was Sea World day. I spent the night prior charging 3 three batteries and a battery grip. I brought the weather sealed camera especially for the part of the trip. Setup my backpack with three lenses, lens pen, lens cloth, lens cleaner solution. Packed and repack so that everything was accessible. I had all of my polarized filters ready, as well. We go to the first show I focus in and take the shot of a dolphin doing a back flip, I had time it perfect. I look down "NO CARD" - what? I had forgotten to bring my cards. I was so mad at myself. But I couldn't help but laugh, that's all I could do. I spent that time and effort, ohh well. Today is Zoo day. Z_joe |

2013 and Earlier - Toyota Sienna Prices Paid and Buying Experience
satjosh Posts: 3I bought 2010 Sienna LE with package #2 over the weekend. This forum was very useful in my decision making process, both in terms of right van and price. Cannot say I got the best price, but feel satisfied. Here's the detail

moevt Posts: 4After purchasing the XLE AWD with pkg #3, I read on one of these forums that I could get good pricing at fitzmall.com and checked. Same car appeared to be less than $32,000 (as opposed to just over $33K). I don't have any experience with buying a car long-distance, but it might have been worth the trip.
Another way I comforted myself that it was an okay price for me to pay is that I had a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan with AWD. It did not have leather, dvd, heated seats or a 6-CD changer. I paid over $30K for that car and it was 8 years ago so now I get a better quality car with more features for only $3K more, 8 years later. -

pendo Posts: 1First post - thanks in advance. I just want to get the opinion of the forum on whether this is a fair deal or not.
We are looking to buy an XLE with package #3, the JBL system, floor mats, the 17" spoke wheels, and front fog lamp package. However, we really liked the backup camera in the Odyssey and wanted a hitch to put a bike rack on. To add both of those after factory, they are offering $31,500.
Because we got these specific options, I don't feel like I have a lot of leverage. This seems like a fair, not great, not bad price. Opinions? -
lohj Posts: 1I was quoted by Sterling McCall in Houston for an XLE with EVP#2 plus carpet, tow and fog light options for 29700 + TT/L. Included are 2% Holdback MSRP (594), 1% finance reserve MSRP (297) and PIO Holdback (17). Is it worth it?
Satjosh, could you email me your dealer and sales details? Thanks. -
nmomof2 Posts: 14They're currently offering 2.9% (or more) on the 2010 Siennas. Is this traditionally the best I can do? Do they ever go down to 0%, or is that usually just GM? We have excellent credit, and though all the experts say to secure your financing before walking into a dealer, the rates at banks/credit unions are always higher. Even for someone with a very high credit score.
dsmguy Posts: 232.9% for 36 months / 3.9% for 48-60 months on the 2010. They had better deals on the 2009. We missed out on the 2009 models, absolutely none in Iowa (XLE evp #2). I'm thinking that Toyota can do better than that. Part of it is the cash for clunker deals. Why give away any more rebates or offers when the govt. is will to fork over $4500. If you can wait it out for another month or 2, that might be your best bet.
nmomof2 Posts: 14I think you're probably right. I'm still trying to see what I can finagle with the Toyota dealers (or Honda) in my area, but I'm not turning up much. Maybe I should take my car to a good car wash to make it look nice again. That'll make it easier to hold off for a couple of months. (though it won't stay that way for long with the kids) ;-)
nobo Posts: 305No good deals left in my area either. Inventory was scarce in mid July, then C4C hit. Dealers not in as good of a mood to deal now.
Decided to put a new set of tires on the Odyssey (Michelin X from Costco) It now rides almost as good as the new Sienna and Odyssey did on their test drives. Since dealers are not giving much in the way of incentive to buy, have decided to wait till first quarter of 2010 (thats only ~ 4 to 6 mo) when the 2011 Sienna's will be available. New styling, 6 speed transmission and 27 MPG. -
mbenge Posts: 18Hey,
The 2009's were 0% back in June. When they are at the end of a model year Toyota will usually offer 0% and sometimes at other times. I bought my 2002 4runner at 0% (a day after it went off officially). I imagine that with a 2011 redesign coming out (supposedly early 2010) we'll see the 2010 Siennas go to 0%apr at the time leading up to it's introduction. Just a prediction. -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I don't see how it'll get 27mpg, to be honest.
The current 5 speed is geared very, very tall. IIRC both 4th and 5th are overdrive gears. At highway speed limits my engine is idling along at 1500rpm.
I don't see how they can improve on the current van's 24mpg highway by 13%.
25mpg is more realistic. -
golls Posts: 21I have a quote of $31,850 for a 2010 XLE EVP 4 with the following options:
1. Alloy wheels
2. Towing package
3. Fog and driving lamps
4. Carpet floor mats with door sill protector
I don't really need any of these extra options, but anyway, how's the quote? I am in the CA bay area. Thanks! -
bamboo222 Posts: 20Your amount sounds like close to invoice price. My purchase last month included all your options with an additional pair of headphones. MSRP: $35,087. My purchase price was 31,050 which I think might be difficult to duplicate in the bay area. I also got 2.9% for 60 months. It also helps that I had 850 fica score. Hope this helps!
vjkl Posts: 10Hi golls,
Could you tell me which dealer quoted you that price in Bay Area. A week ago I had quotes like that but now I am getting quoted over 32000. I am also looking for XLE with EVP 4. You can send me email with the dealer information and quote specifications to firstname.lastname@example.com.

golls Posts: 21VJ, cars for clunkers seems to have killed all the good deals and inventories seem to be running low. It is just another transfer of wealth from the responsible to the irresponsible. Anyway, ranting aside, I contacted carsdirect last week and they contacted me yesterday with this quote. The quote on their website is now higher (thanks to the stupid cars for clunkers), so they may not quote the same amount anymore. Even I am not sure whether they will honor this quote if I confirm the order on Monday.
dsmguy Posts: 23I agree. If you don't qualify for C4C, you're not going to get a very good deal. Even the C4C deal, the dealers aren't giving people very good quotes. In their eyes, they're "giving" the customers 4500. So they're going to hold back on their sale price more hoping customers are focusing on the 4500 incentive.
We don't qualify for the C4C, our 11 year old cavalier gets too high of a gas mileage. -
goldenluver Posts: 1We picked up a new 2010 XLE pack #2 last week. Got it for about 3K beneath MSRP. Actually placed an order for the car in the last week of June. It was scheduled for production already with what we were looking for and the dealer did not have much in stock to select from (STL metro area). Very pleased with the transaction. C4C was not part of our negotiation.
After one week we are very pleased overall with the vehicle. Only disappointment (pretty major, actually) is with the OEM Bridgestone Turanza EL42 tires. From all review sources that I have found online these are ranked about as low as anything that I have seen. I certainly was expecting more from Toyota. My fault for not investigating more thoroughly up front. Will probably be replacing these within a year or sooner if they indeed prove to be poor performers as reviewed in snow and wet road conditions.
One more thing. As I followed my wife home from the dealer I noticed that the two rear wheels appeared to not be perpendicular to the road, they appeared to tilt in toward the vehicle a degree or two at the top. I did have it checked out a few days later at the dealer and they said that I was correct, the tires do tilt in at the top. There was no problem, though, as they said that the rear suspension is designed that way. They reinforced that it was important to rotate the tires regularly to minimize the slightly uneven tire wear that this design may promote. Anyone else notice this with their Sienna?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the 2000 film Cast Away, Tom Hanks plays an American FedEx executive who is stranded alone on a remote Pacific island after he survives a plane crash. A few items from the plane wash up on shore, including a volleyball. He draws a face on it and names it "Wilson," creating a companion who becomes his confidant for the next four years. I'd love to see you enlist an ally like Wilson in the coming week, Aries. There are some deep, messy, beautiful mysteries you need to talk about. At least for now, the only listener capable of drawing them out of you in the proper spirit might be a compassionate inanimate object that won't judge you or interrupt you.

flame, the usual title of the Amalekite kings, as "Pharaoh" was of the Egyptian.
roof; upper floor
(flame ), possibly the title of the kings of Amalek, like Pharaoh of Egypt. One king of this name is mentioned in ( Numbers 24:7 ) and another in 1Sam 15:8,9,20,32 The latter was the king of the Amalekites, whom Saul spared contrary to Jehovahs well-known will. ( Exodus 17:14 ; 25:17 ) For this act of disobedience Samuel was commissioned to declare to Saul his rejection, and he himself sent for Agag and cut him in pieces. (B.C. about 1070.) [SAMUEL]. Haman is called the AGAGITE in ( Esther 3:1 Esther 3:10 ; Esther 8:3 Esther 8:5 ) The Jews consider him a descendant of Agag the Amalekite.
a'-gag ('aghagh, or 'aghagh, meaning unknown, possibly "violent," BDB):
A name, or title, applied to the king of the Amalekites, like Abimelech in Philistia and Pharaoh in Egypt. It is used of two of these kings:
(1) A king of Amalek, mentioned by Balaam (Numbers 24:7) in his blessing of Israel;
(2) A later king, in the days of King Saul (1 Samuel 15). Saul was sent with his army to destroy the Amalekites, who had so violently opposed Israel in the Wilderness. He disregarded the Divine command, sparing the best of the spoil, and saving Agag the king alive (1 Samuel 15:8,9). After rebuking Saul, Samuel had Agag put to death for all the atrocities committed by himself and his nation (1 Samuel 15:32,33).

Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - Newton's game at Luella on Friday could be like playing a clone of itself.
Like the Rams, the Lions play a basic style offense and defense and then add to their game depending on the opponent. "Our rule is simple, if they give you this look you do this; if they give you this look, you're in that. If they give you this formation you're in this coverage, if they give you this formation you're in that coverage and that's how you solve a lot of what we do," Newton coach Nick Collins said. "You go back to your basic rules and let the rules apply. Playing them this week is probably the simplest game plan we've had all year." But no matter what formation or look the Lions are presenting, Newton is going to have find a way to stop the running game. If the Rams can force Luella to put the ball in the air, Collins feels that his secondary can win the game. "The teams that have beat them have made them one dimensional," Collins said. "If we can force them into throwing it I feel pretty good about what we do as far as that's concerned." Like Newton, Luella does not have a go-to player. The Lions prefer to spread the ball around from the backfield and tight ends to their wide outs. "There isn't one particular person that you have to stop. They remind me a lot of us in that we're going to use. It's almost like they use everyone in uniform. "We had some issues last week and they run the ball well, or try to anyway. I think we'll see that and they'll try to throw the ball deep. They're going to the things that are necessary and the two things we've struggled with lately are teams running the ball right at us and teams throwing the ball deep," Collins said. Offensively, the Rams must protect the ball and the offensive line has to give the backfield the chance to get the ball past the line of scrimmage. By establishing a successful running game it will provide the Rams the chance to reach two of their offensive objectives. One, it will run time off the clock thus limiting Luella's chances of scoring. And two, it will open up the passing game to the point where they will be able to throw it because they want to rather then because the have to. "I don't expect to throw the football 21 times like we did last week, but I can foresee us throwing it 10 to 15 times," Collins said. "But they've got to be smart selective times and we've got to be good at it." Making Newton's decision as to when to throw and when to pass could depend on the defense Luella throws at them. "Defensively, they're a 3-5-3 team. But if they have to go 5-3, they'll go 5-3. If they have to go 6-2, they'll go 6-2. They'll do all the things that are necessary to win," Collins said. While a victory is important in most games, it is imperative for both teams in this game. Basically, a win means a chance to compete in the Class AAAAA playoffs while a loss means the end of the season. A win by Newton and a loss by Douglass, who is playing Stephenson, a team competing for the Region 2-AAAAA championship, puts Newton at the fourth slot in the region. "We're taking the approach this week that we're not talking playoffs, we're not talking if you win or when you win. We're talking about let's do the best we can, prepare the best we can and let's go out and win a football game," Collins said. "If we win the football game then we can address whatever needs to come after that." Manny Fils can be reached at email@example.com.

Cooking, highway pollution linked to high blood pressure
Published on Aug 26, 2014 3:04 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Women in China who are exposed to pollution from cookstoves and highways face a greater risk of high blood pressure, said a study out on Monday.
The study focused on the role of black carbon, which after carbon dioxide is the second leading human-caused emission driving climate change. It comes from burning wood, coal and fossil fuels.
About half of all Chinese households cook with coal and wood, the researchers said.
The study involved 280 women living in a rural area of northwestern Yunnan province, with an average age of 52. Eighteen per cent were overweight and 4 per cent were obese at the start of the survey.

For a split second, Shawn Johnson waits. Any less and he'll be tackled. Any more and he'll miss his chance. Then, a crease opens. And with a shake of the hips, a juke of the shoulders, Johnson is off to the races.
It's a familiar scene for Johnson's Montana State teammates, who've nicknamed him Shawn John. It might as well be Shawn Gone. The elusive Johnson is a running back, but he's best known as one of the nation's most dangerous kick returners. Truly, he's perhaps the most dynamic player in the Big Sky Conference when the football is in his hands.
"He wants to score a touchdown every time he touches the ball," says Bobcats coach Rob Ash, "and anything less than that is a disappointment for him."
Johnson was the only player in the league to return both a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns last season, and his 31.0-yard average on kickoffs led the Big Sky by far.
Johnson took a kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown in a win over Northern Arizona, and ripped off a 99-yarder for a TD in a victory over Northern Colorado. His 82-yard punt return for a touchdown against archrival Montana gave the Bobcats some early thrust.
In his first couple years in Bozeman, Johnson had a propensity to dance around too much with the ball. That led to lost yardage and — many times — lost fumbles. But his brilliance now rests with the ability to see a hole and hit it. One cut and go.
That's when opponents are usually left in the dust.
With the 2014 season starting in just 13 days, the Bobcats expect Johnson to handle a much bigger role in the ground game by taking over for MSU mainstay Cody Kirk. No longer is Johnson just one man: The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior is now THE man.
"It's my last year, and I'm going to be the No. 1 guy," Johnson said. "I've got to be the best that I can possibly be. There are doubters that say I can't run behind my pads because I'm too small or whatever the case may be, but I think I'll be fine. I think I'm going to do well."
• • •
It's been a long road to prominence for Johnson.
His arrival to Montana State from Bakersfield, Calif., in 2011 was the culmination of several factors, not the least of which was a strong recruiting push by Bobcats assistant coach Kane Ioane.
But it traces back further, back to a more difficult time in Johnson's life when he was living with his aunt while his mother dealt with what were described in a 2010 Bakersfield Californian article as personal and financial issues some 300 miles away in Las Vegas.
Fate is funny. Though they're separated by 1,100 miles, Johnson holds tight a bond with USC quarterback Cody Kessler, whose family stepped in and helped preserve Johnson's high school setting, his chance to thrive academically and his opportunity at a college career.
Living on the other end of Bakersfield, a good distance from Centennial High School where he was a burgeoning football star, Johnson struggled through the routine of slogging through practice, doing homework late into the night and waking up extra early to catch the bus to make it in time for the morning bell.
Eventually there came a point when Johnson had to move away from his aunt's house, facing the prospect of leaving Bakersfield to rejoin his mother in Las Vegas. But he found another option.
"One day after one of our workouts we were in the locker room and I was just messing with my teammates," Johnson said. "I said, 'Hey guys, I need a place to stay. I don't want to have to start over in high school.'"
That's when Kessler, a budding quarterback prospect, piped up and offered his house. Not long after that, Johnson was ensconced in a supportive environment, and he stayed with the Kesslers — Don, Christie, Cody and a younger son, Dylan — for the remainder of high school.
"It was difficult for him to even get to school," Kessler remembered. "He lived on the other side of Bakersfield. It was hard for him to get to the bus; sometimes he missed the bus. I think the fact that he had a stable background with my family, staying on him with school and sports, it really played a big part of him graduating and getting into college."
"They helped me out," Johnson said. "They helped me to do well in school and get a scholarship … it was great. They're like my other family."
• • •
Johnson's friendship with Kessler blossomed in high school, both on and off the field. As a senior in 2010, Johnson rushed for nearly 1,900 yards and scored 26 total touchdowns.
Kessler, who by that time was one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the country, threw for 2,800 yards with 36 TDs and just two interceptions. Their coach at Centennial High was former Bobcats player Bryan Nixon.
Kessler said Johnson "was a great player. He helped me out tremendously because he could run the ball so well. We would go out and throw outside at practice, on the weekends … he was always with me. We worked out together, we trained together, everything we did we did together. We were really close, and that transitioned to the football field."
"Football was a big thing in that family," Johnson said. "Cody was the big star and I was the unsung hero, you could say."
Johnson had a number of collegiate suitors, including Fresno State. But he eventually settled on Montana State, and nobody has looked back.
Johnson said he and Kessler remain tight. They check up on each other's games and statistics, and they speak often over the phone. Johnson laughs about the fact that Kessler's games, some of which are broadcast nationally, are easier to keep track of.
"We talk from time to time," Johnson said. "But we're both busy with football. He's over there in California and I'm all the way up here in Montana."
• • •
Johnson rushed for 609 yards and six touchdowns on just 104 attempts last season, averaging a team-high 5.9 yards per carry. You knew it was going to be a good year when he raced 90 yards for a touchdown early in the season-opener against Monmouth.
But now that the record-setting Kirk is gone, Johnson's workload might double.
More carries mean more hits, and more hits mean a greater toll on his body. Johnson wasn't 100 percent healthy at the end of last season (who was?) but he grinded through it. How will he respond to getting more touches on offense while maintaining his role in the return game?
Johnson, who will wear No. 4 this season instead of No. 33, insists he's stronger than he was last year.
"I worked pretty hard this summer with coach (Alex) Wilcox and his amazing, amazing strength and conditioning program, so I think I'll be fine," he said.
Said Ash: "The misconception is that he's a lateral player on offense — a jet sweep guy. He can do that stuff, but we want to give him an opportunity to be the every-down tailback, running inside zone and running north and south, and hopefully finding some creases and making some big plays.
"He's our first option. I think Shawn Johnson has the ability to be a candidate for offensive MVP in the conference. I really do."
Ash said Johnson won't typically handle the ball as many as 25 or 30 times per game out of the backfield. That's where depth comes in, and the Cats have a ton of it. Johnson's backups — namely Billings Senior's Chad Newell, Helena Capital's Gunnar Brekke and Nevada transfer Anthony Knight — should share a bulk of the work.
In the previous three seasons with Kirk as the primary ball-carrier, the Bobcats averaged roughly 188 yards per game and rushed for 85 touchdowns. With a new quarterback replacing DeNarius McGhee and new personnel running an offense that will utilize more reads in the running game, Johnson will have opportunities to flourish.
"He's always been the fastest guy on the field, and he expects to make big plays," Ash said. "And he's really come a long ways from a maturity standpoint.
"I'm really hoping that during his senior year he'll finally settle in and be the main man. With Cody Kirk being gone and DeNarius being gone, he'll really relish the idea of being a go-to guy."

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
How people get when they disagree over a game. lol what ever i am just re opening up this forum to see if anyone is still interested in joining my team that i am currently still working on. So far i have found some great players who have joined.
We are still in progress but if anyone is still interested i can get you up to speed with us. just message me on psn "mikegloria" if you have any questions
I understand uncharted 4 is not out right now, i understand it has not been announced.
This thread is simply for people who are interested in making a team for uncharted 4.
Making a team the way i am doing it, which is the right way takes time. This is not something i am rushing.
I dont want to make a team when uncharted 4 comes out and then i am rushed to put a team together to put on frag nation and just push my teammates into that situation.
I am gathering people to work on chemistry right now. that is all
I'd like to join your clan. I'm fed up with the level of "looking out for #1" in public games. Do you have any other requirements other than be a team player and want to win?

My partner and I are going back and forth about how deep to make the seating at the peninsula versus how deep to make the aisle. There's only 6 inches, really, to play with. Which, perhaps, doesn't really make a whit of difference. But, living in a small house does teach you that every inch can count, so I am posting here to see what people think. Option 1 is to make the aisle in the kitchen as deep as possible. That's about 62 1/2 inches, without much of a overhang (partner's preliminary designs include 1 1/8" overhang but that's with no doors and we are using frameless). This leaves the peninsula to be 34" deep, which leaves about 9" for seating. Option 2 is to make the aisle in the kitchen as narrow as possible and put the extra inches into the peninsula depth. That would make the aisle 56 1/2" and the peninsula seating more like 15", which I know is what is recommended for counter height seating. Is it more important to have as deep an aisle as possible? Or, is this a workable aisle depth and should we indulge in the deeper peninsula for seating? Does anyone know how many inches are generally needed to have a 2-butt kitchen, as opposed to a 1-butt? My partner is in LOVE with deep peninsulas and is pushing hard to go that direction. I am just not sure if we really have the inches to spare... What would you do? The only software I have at my disposal right now will not extend the counter depth out past the cabinets, so you can't really get a good visual of this. We are working with a better software program, but I'll try to show you roughly what we are working with. Option 1 - Deeper Aisle, Narrow Peninsula: |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by heidihausfrau (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 13:25
If it were me, I would make a wider aisle with a narrower peninsula. Lots of time is spent walking around and working in the kitchen vs. sitting there to eat. We have about 54" in our u-shaped area. It is roomy enough for 2-3. But our peninsula hangs into our living room and we did give ourselves 12" overhang there for seating. Kids sit there a lot! Not just for eating,but homework and coloring and such. We use every inch of that counter space! For family harmony--- can you compromise?! |
- Posted by herbflavor (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 13:33
56 is not particularly narrow....it'll be fine. push the sink toward the middle of that counter run[as in option 1] and you'll have zig zag positions for people at counter spots......to the right of fridge some landing, then across to the peninsula[most people will do transient things at the end half]...then zig zag to person at sink....and lastly person at range who will use counter left and right of their position......no butts in collision with each other. |
I'd go with the narrower aisle. Ours is 48" which works fine for us*. Like heidihausfrau, we use every inch of the peninsula surface. * We don't have a U though. We have an L with the peninsula parallel to the the long leg and an opening between the peninsula end and the short leg of the L. With a U, I'd think you need a little more width at the enclosed end for maneuverability. |
- Posted by lori_inthenw (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 13:47
I don't think 9" would work for seating, but I question the conventional wisdom that 15" is needed. We've had the same peninsula seating for 25 years and I recently measured it and found it was 13"-- it has always been more than enough-- my knees don't get near it, and I honestly think 12" would be fine. Of course, I don't think we "belly up" all the way to it, either! Find one you think is comfortable and measure it. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 14:02
12" is the preferred OH for eating. A kitchen with 2 people cooking need at least 48" preferrable 54", this is what kitchen designers go by. That would make your isle on Option 2 work just fine, giving you plenty of space for both to be in the kitchen, and give you the larger eat at counter. My vote is for Option 2! |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 14:42
I vote for the wider aisle, especially with two people working in there. But I need lots of "personal space" around me to feel comfortable and if someone is crowding me, I get anxious. I spend a lot of time in my kitchen so my comfort IN THE KITCHEN is more important to me. Plus, visually, I think the wider aisle just looks better because it makes the kitchen look so much more spacious. And the wider cabinets on either side of the range would be more functional ... you could keep cooking utensils in the drawers. |
Go thirteen on the overhang and make your aisle 58 1/2. Everybody is happy then. I totally understand agonizing about a few inches. Totally and completely. |
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 15:34
I think you need the wider aisle...but can't you use corbels or something to support the eating area and get a little more space? |
How about split the difference? 59 1/2" and a 12" overhang? We've had an 11 1/2" overhang for 25 years, and no knee bumping... |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 19:39
I don't think you will be able to tell much if you remove a couple of inches from the work aisle. You Will be able to tell if you add a couple to the overhang. |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 20:47
I think option 2 will be fine, and give you both an adequate aisle and seating. Can you mock up those aisle widths with boxes, or chairs, or couch/table/etc to try out? I had cardboard on chairs for almost a week trying out the fridge clearance for the new kitchen, and it actually feels a little bigger IRL. Probably because I'm not worried about knocking the cardboard down! |
- Posted by angela12345 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 21:23
I also vote for either option 2 with 15" overhang, or option 3 with slightly less overhang of 12-13". We have 15" overhang with corbels supporting the granite. I was worried that 15" might not be enough and we would bang our knees on the corbels. We have never come even close to banging our knees and could have gone with slightly less than 15" easily. One thing we love is the huge workspace on the peninsula. |
Go for whatever design gives you drawers on either side of the stove. In designs posted, that's option 1. |

Is it feasible to move the doorway shown in the pics over to the right? It may be possible to have the best of both worlds, but there are other factors that come will come into play. It is at worth exploring all options. If not I would shoot for having the aisle between 59.5" leaving a 12" overhang. |
My time is limited today and I'm trying to chew on the various sides of this... Thanks so much for your input, everyone. Lots of things to think about. It's not possible to change the doorway, which leads into the hall to the bathroom and bedrooms. The peninsula could be expanded out into the LR after the hallway area but I've not been keen on the idea of creating an obstruction around the traffic patterns. We probably won't use corbels to support the overhang and will construct some kind of metal framework on top the cabinets to support the overhang. I think palimpsest's point that the inches are going to be more keenly seen and experienced on the peninsula than the aisle is a good one. It's also a great idea to mock it up. I'm not opposed to splitting the difference, though 12" is the desired seating for bar height, 15" for counter and 18" for table height and I don't want compromise to mean we lose value both ways. My partner REALLY loves the look and functionality of the deep peninsula and is pressing hard to make it as deep as we can. I love that look, too, but if the aisle space is an issue, I'm not sure we can indulge our fancies. I guess I'm so used to not being able to have what I want in this small house for practicality's sake. So, the question becomes does 3-6" more inches really add to the aisle in a way that is going to make the kitchen function better for us or is it room to spare? It's interesting that many of the people who have more narrow aisles and say they are happy with them still recommend I go wider. I'm not sure what to make of that part of the feedback, really. It seems incongruent... |

Can we declare the war on terrorism over?
(Read article summary)Or at least stop spending so much money on it?
This week terrorism continued its descent from the greatest, scariest threat known to man to its proper place in the order of things: A bloody tactic that is as old as man and that is declining in frequency as most other forms of violence are.
The National Counterterrorism Center's annual report for 2011 was released on Tuesday and what it points to is a less violent (though still plenty violent) world. Total "terrorist" attacks fell 12 percent from the previous year and are down 29 percent from 2007, which the center says is a five year low. There were over 10,000 attacks classified by the government as terrorism across the world last year, claiming 12,500 lives. None of them were in the US, and three-quarters of the fatalities were in just four countries: Afghanistan (3,353), Iraq (3,063), Pakistan (2,033), and Somalia (1,101).
The cost in American lives? The report says 17 American "private citizens" were killed in terrorist incidents last year, 15 in Afghanistan and one each in Jerusalem and in Iraq. Though the report doesn't say, it's safe to assume the US citizens killed in Afghanistan were mostly aid workers or private contractors. Not to say they deserved what happen to them, but that these were people who placed themselves in a war zone (much as reporters do) fully aware of the risks. Trouble didn't come looking for them. The number of American's killed in terrorist attacks in 2010? 15.
As Micah Zenko points out, between 2000 and 2010 an average of 29 US citizens were killed each year by falling televisions, dressers, and other household furnishings. Yet we haven't declared war on the killer flat-screens rampaging through the heartland.

This butt plug is out of this world.
Reviewed: 14 June 2014 by JessyBunny89, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
Firstly, my partner and I love glass toys and we love adding to our collection. Secondly, it was our anniversary and... why not?!
Most of the glass toys I have purchased from Lovehoney have been from the Icicles range, which come in the most beautiful of boxes, and I still keep them in the packaging. I was slightly disappointed when this turned up in just a regular box, wrapped up in foam padding. However, this was only because it was supposed to be a gift. After all, it is what is in inside that counts.
So after quickly disposing of the box, I was left with the most beautiful of products. A firm black base which smoothly widened into a gorgeously top which was made up of beautiful orange and gold swirls to create a galaxy effect.
My partner was ecstatic and wanted to try it immediately. After a quick shower, we got down to business. We lubed this wondrous product up with our favourite KY and inserted it slowly. Being glass, it is perfect for temperature play. However, this time we just stayed with room temperature.
It was very easy to insert, although it is quite big so we did have to go slow. The base of the butt plug is quite thick, making it easy for me to hold and take control of it being inserted in my partner. The 'stem' of the butt plug is not too thin so there was no sudden movements as you inserted it.
Once inside, it held really well and the weight seemed to cause my partner great satisfaction. He was able to move around freely with some only minor (very erotic) twinges. We had the best penetrative sex we have ever had, and my partner climaxed very loudly. It seemed to keep him erect for longer as it felt so good.
Removing the butt plug was easy and pain-free ,and although he felt 'aware' that he had used the butt plug afterwards, there was no discomfort.
Glass is also one of the cleanest products around and the shape of this meant that it was very easy to clean afterwards.
This is by far one of our favourite toys and certainly an excellent addition to our glass collection.
- Pros
- The shape, the look and the weight of it are all superb. Easy to insert.
- Cons
- Nothing, this is the perfect toy.
- Bottom line
- A truly magnificent product. This will make you starry eyed.

You'll See Stars
Reviewed: 27 August 2014 by VoodooVixen
I love sex toys, but I love sex toys that are beautiful to look at even more. The Galileo plug is just that. It's a work of art that you put in your butt instead of an art gallery. What more could you ask for?
Glass toys are great for backdoor play, as they do not absorb lube. I think we can all attest to the fact that the more lube you have for anal...well, anything... only helps the situation.
Secondly, glass toys are so sturdy. I own quite the collection of toys, mostly by this very company, Glas. I'm also terminally clumsy, so I've dropped all my toys at least once. None of them have so much cracked in the time that I've had them.
It is also worth noting that this toy isnt huge and it isnt tiny. So it's great for starters or for those a little bit more experienced.
Lastly, glass toys transmit vibration stupendously! After insertion, if you place a vibrating toy to the base of the plug, then you'll, in fact, be "seeing stars."
- Pros
- Construction, durability, material, size.
- Cons
- I honestly cannot pinpoint one thing about this toy that I did not like.
- Bottom line
- It's a must-buy, either as a functional toy or a kinky bit of décor.

It is what it is (not necessarily a bad thing)
Reviewed: 20 December 2013 by El Caliente, a Straight Single Male
I decided to try out the Galileo plug, since it was reasonably priced.
The packaging was plain and simple, minimalistic.
Nothing impressive or exciting about it, but it did its job of protecting the goods inside just fine.
Upon further inspection of the plug itself, I found greasy fingerprints all over the surface. This of course required almost zero effort to sort out, but it did give me an overall feeling of dealing with a rather cheap product.
The plug is made from hand-blown glass, and has a very nice weight to it.
The dimensions seem to work well for me, giving a nice filling sensation when inserted.
The base has a sufficient width to prevent any accidents from happening, without being wide enough to chafe.
I would personally have preferred the bottom half of the plug to be clear and see through, instead of black.
- Pros
- Material and the width and length of the neck.
- Cons
- Would have preferred the head a little bit wider.
- Bottom line
- A good medium sized plug. Would recommend to anyone with some experience in anal play.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
BULGARIA/EUROPE-Bulgarian Nationalist Leader Warns of 'Tendency Toward Islamization'

Interview with Bulgarian Attack Chairman Volen Siderov by Andrey
Zakhariev; broadcast on Bulgarian National Television's "The Day Begins"
program at 0445 GMT -- live - BTA Radiotelevizionen Monitor Online
Wednesday August 31, 2011 12:26:47 GMT
(Siderov) Well, I was not furious. I only told them that it was improper
not to allow a presidential candidate and a leader of a parliamentary
group to say a few words. Krasimir Velchev, who is chairman of the GERB
Parliamentary Group), also attended the ceremony. He could have also said
a few words. In my view, the strict adherence to protocol rules...
(sentence not finished)
(Zakhariev) You did not say in advance that you wanted to speak.
(Siderov) Yes, I really did not say in advance that I wanted to speak, but
I do not think that it was proper to raise objections if a parliamentary
leader wanted to say a few words. The officials of the Gabrovo
Municipality and the regional administration were upset and seemed to fear
that something terrible would happen. I only wanted to say that for many
years the words "Turkish yoke" and "liberation from the Turkish yoke" had
been avoided at commemorations of events that are of historic importance
for Bulgaria." Thank God, at that ceremony the chair of the National
Assembly said it clearly. However, the president and the other officials
did not say what we had been liberated from. They were talking in abstract
terms. On the other hand it was a good thing that the state and the
National Assembly were represented at the ceremony at the highest level.
However, the president was absent from the commemoration at Shipka Peak. I
think that the head of state should attend such a ceremony regardless of
who he i s and which party nominated him. I find the situation in some
regions -- the Rhodope Mountain and northeastern Bulgaria -- very
alarming. There is a tendency toward Islamization and attempts to tear
whole regions from Bulgaria. It is a good thing to deliver speeches and to
hold commemoration ceremonies but the state should also know what is going
on in these regions.
(Zakhariev) Yes.
(Siderov) In August my colleagues and I toured these regions and I must
tell you that the situation there is extremely serious. In some towns and
villages you can hear only Turkish speech on the main street. You cannot
hear anyone speaking Bulgaria.
(Zakhariev) Now...
(Siderov) They are lost...
(Zakhariev) You know that Turkish is the mother language of the people who
inhabit these regions. In every democratic country people can speak their
mother language on the street.
(Siderov) No, you are not right. The native language of every Bulgarian ci
(Zakhariev) Well, I would say the mother language.
(Siderov) They should speak Bulgarian.
(Zakhariev) They should speak their mother language.
(Siderov) The Bulgarian language is our native language. It should be the
official language of the country. That is why we have submitted a bill on
the Bulgarian language. I think that there is a need to pass the bill
despite some preliminary disputes that focus on minor issues. (Education)
Minister Ignatov should revise its present view and should uphold its
initial opinion. In 2009 he said that there was a need to pass such a
bill. Now I have heard him say that there was no such need. Hoverer, I
think that the bill should be adopted because it would safeguard the
rights of Bulgarian expatriates and would regulate the use of the
Bulgarian language in the state administration and the state-owned
television stations, and other issues. For many years now we have been
fighting to solve these issues.
(Zakhariev) Well, I agree with you that the language issue is important. I
also agree with your view on the role of the Bulgarian language in our
public life. However, Islamization poses a different problem. Honestly
speaking, is it not a bit of an exaggeration to say that whole regions are
being deliberately Islamized?
({Siderov) No, this is not an exaggeration. Quite the opposite, the
situation is even more dangerous and dreadful. It defies description.
Minarets are being built there as part of a long-term strategy. You can
see houses -- not mosques, houses -- where minarets were built so that
whoever sees it would say; "Oh, yes, this is Muslim territory." Then some
day they will say that they want to secede. That will have consequences
that we have already seen in the Balkans. That day would be bad for the
Bulgarian democrats and patriots. (passage omitted on election campaign,
minor domestic policy issues)

My small local lumberyard doesn't carry any specialty wood so I'm going to have to do some searching for the right stuff for the table I plan to build. I live in very rural northeastern NM and their are several small sawmills that produce rough cut boards. Can anyone explain to me what exactly is rough cut? Would this type of lumber be suitable for a table top? I'm going for a rustic look but I do want a smooth top that can be easily wiped clean.
Table top boards?

Rough cut
The rough cut hasn't been surfaced yet. It has the rough surface from the sawmill.
You can surface it yourself if you buy a good jack plane and a jointer plane. You can buy them second hand for about $100 for the pair. You'll need to learn how to sharpen them, which isn't hard, and you'll need to do a little research about how to surface by hand. But it's simple to do, will let you buy lumber for a fraction of the price you'd pay at a home center, and will give you gorgeous arms in the bargain.
This is a nice little video about how to surface your lumber. Just over five minutes per board in that video, which is about the time I get as well.

Bank of America Corp. (NYSE: BAC) has gained from $11.02 to $11.62 after the price touches the lower Bollinger Band. MACD histogram is recovering. I think BAC would quickly gets to $12.0 and if it breaks above $12.19, we would see a huge buying power.(click to enlarge)
Caterpillar, Inc. (NYSE CAT) has pulled back to as low as $94.66) on Friday. Bearish MACD crossover. I believe there would be a great support from the centerline of Bbands, $94.32 or $93.00 where the gap ends. This outlook makes CAT a good long candidate will low risk-to-reward ratio. If support is found and uptrend still intact. CAT can get to $100.00 soon.(click to enlarge)
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) has pulled back to around MA(20). Bollinger bands are narrowing. If support is found on MA(20) or when RSI hits 50 level, I expect an uptrend with the same slope and length as the one we saw in mid-Dec to mid-Jan. After all, Ford Motor is falling with little volume which is a bullish sign.(click to enlarge)
Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) has been following the MA(50) pretty nicely since it has turned around from bottoming. Bullish MACD crossover last Friday. Prices are closing within upper area of Bollinger bands most of the time. I remain bullish on Facebook.(click to enlarge)
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) makes a new high on Friday, closing at $47.16) Prices have always been closing in the upper-half area of Bollinger bands. Bullish MACD would be coming anytime which would bring another wave of appreciation.Thank you for visiting

Sebastian Bach & fans respond to his "art on the internet"
A few of Vh1's current day super stars. Steven Adler & Sebastian Bach.
We did a post the other day >HERE< about a clip that appeared on Blabbermouth. It was pretty clear that Blabberballs in it's post, and the fans defense were stirring the pot a bit. And in typical Sludge fashion we stirred it some more. Of course Baz won't get too annoyed at Blabbernutz cause they always sit on the fence and play safe. On the other hand, we'll call it like we see it. Plain and simple Bach was being a dick. The Blabbersack softy post is >HERE<
Now that Bach got wind of the Sludge bitch slap to his face, he's kinda flipped his greasy hair back and shot a myspace message off to one of his fans. Baz has lashed out at the Sludge CEO. We are broken over this, and can only hope that Baz issues the proper apology at once.
If not, we'll insist that Mr. "don't post my art on the internet" take and drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up and go back to playing Rachel, Scotti & Snake's songs while sucking Axl Rose & Bret Michaels respective nut sacks as the warm up.
Let us give the fans and posters on the boards a chance to be heard and chime in >HERE<

i can even understand his mentality, just not his delivery. but when he admits to not buying albums….how's he any better? oh, and i wonder if he's paid all the songwriters & labels for each of the CD-Rs of his "tribute album" songs he was selling on his site for years? i know i bought one.
and his threats of not releasing another cd…so you punish your diehard fans? the people who WANT to buy your stuff? he makes it difficult to be a fan sometimes.

Body: you are so fucking clueless. the reason i do so many tv shows etc is that ROCK IS OVER. its the fans fault! gee, stevie rachelle doesnt understand? who gives a fuck about stevie rachelle? have a nice life with your TUFF albums, & im gonna go see if i can do another vh1 show so i can eat fucking dinner tonight.
Hey Baz, we heard TOOL ACADEMY on Vh1 is gonna run another season and they want you as the head fucking TOOL? Awesome. Go for it.
Who gives a shit about Stevie Rachelle? Maybe my kids give a shit. Well I wanna eat some dinner tonight too, so I think I'm gonna go sell some more banner ads for the site. While I'm at it, I'm gonna pimp out the Cathouse swag >HERE<, the Sludgendise >HERE< & the Tuff albums >HERE<. I'll also push VAINS of JENNA >HERE< (a GREAT example of ROCK NOT BEING OVER).
Once again you've proven that sometimes you just don't get it. Now go smoke some more pot.
