News Review From Harvard Medical School -- Study Tracks Early Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Disease
A new study offers clues to early symptoms of a brain disease linked with head trauma that has affected football players and other athletes. The study focused on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). This disease causes brain damage that gets worse over time. People with CTE often are depressed and may show impulsive or erratic behavior. The new study included 36 male athletes who had been diagnosed with CTE after death. Their ages when they died ranged from 17 to 98. Most of them had played football as professionals or amateurs. The rest had been involved in hockey, wrestling or boxing. Researchers interviewed their relatives and asked about early symptoms related to thinking or behavior. They found that 22 of the athletes had behavior or mood problems as their first symptoms of CTE. Eleven had memory or thinking problems first. Three had no symptoms up to their time of death. Behavior and mood problems tended to occur at earlier ages, about 35 on average. Memory and thinking problems started around age 59. The journal Neurology published the study online. HealthDay News wrote about it August 21.

What Is the Doctor's Reaction?
The risks of chronic brain injury during athletic competition have been in the news a lot lately -- for good reason.
Last year's suicide of Junior Seau, a popular former member of the New England Patriots, was big news here in Boston. The tragedy was made even worse by the discovery that he had a preventable brain disease related to his years of playing football. His depression and eventual suicide were linked to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. This is a brain injury caused by repeated head trauma. Seau was just the latest case that has come to light in recent years.
The most common cause of CTE is the repeated concussions endured by some elite athletes, especially in football and boxing. Increasingly, though, CTE has been recognized to occur after injuries less severe than concussions. Perhaps the most worrisome discovery is that CTE may not be limited to elite athletes. High school and college players may be at risk as well.
What are the first signs of CTE? That's the subject of a study in the latest issue of the medical journal Neurology. Researchers interviewed the families of male athletes who were diagnosed with CTE after death. The diagnosis was made by examining their brains at the time of autopsy. Their ages ranged from 17 to 98. Most played football. Others played ice hockey, wrestled or boxed.
Of the 36 athletes, 3 had no symptoms. For the others, the first sign of CTE was:
- Behavior and mood problems -- This occurred in 22, or 60%, of the former athletes. They tended to be younger than the others, with an average age of 35. Examples of their symptoms included physical or verbal violence, depression or being "out of control."
- Memory and difficulty with thinking -- This was described for 11 study subjects, or about 30%. They tended to be older than the others, with an average age of 59. Symptoms included word-finding problems and loss of memory.
Almost all of those with mood or behavior problems eventually had trouble with memory and thinking. Those with memory and thinking problems at the start developed behavior or mood problems only about 50% to 60% of the time.
This study provides important insights into the symptoms a person with CTE may have. It also points out how easily doctors could make a mistake in diagnosis. For the oldest people in this study who had memory problems, many doctors could have diagnosed Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia. This study shows that prior head trauma may cause similar symptoms regardless of age.
This study, of course, won't be the last word on the subject. The study was small and subjects were highly selected. The families who decided to take part may have noticed more severe symptoms than families who did not participate. These limitations could have affected what researchers found.
What Changes Can I Make Now?
Even before the first practice or scrimmage, coaches, athletes and parents need to share information about CTE. These steps are crucial to protect players:
- Know how to identify a concussion. (For more detailed information, see this government website.)
- Make sure safety equipment fits properly and is used in the correct way.
- Emphasize that everyone should protect athletes -- both teammates and opponents -- from serious injury.
- Understand the rules of the sport, especially ones that are intended to protect athletes.
- Limit the number of games and practices for sports in which head injury is most common (such as ice hockey and football).
- If head trauma is common in your sport, have trained personnel available at athletic events, including practices. It is essential to have on-site, real-time screening for concussion after head trauma.
- Promote laws that require athletes who suffer concussions to be removed from action and not play again until they are cleared by a trained health care professional. Most states already have such laws.
The symptoms of CTE can mimic other common conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. CTE can only be diagnosed for certain after death, and treatment options are limited. But other conditions, such as an underactive thyroid, can also mimic CTE. So it's important to be evaluated if you have symptoms that suggest CTE, especially if they are new.
Symptoms of CTE include:
- Poor memory
- Poor judgment
- A lack of impulse control
- Aggression
- Depression
What Can I Expect Looking to the Future?
I think you will see a major effort in the near future to make contact sports safer. This is already happening. But some basic questions need to be answered:
- How can safety equipment be improved?
- Who is most at risk for CTE?
- Can CTE be diagnosed before death? If so, can treatments be developed that slow or even reverse the brain damage?
Until we have the answers to these questions, more scrutiny will be applied to sports in which head injury is common. And that will raise the ultimate question for anyone concerned about CTE: Is playing worth it?

Total debt servicing ratio won't be applied to non-property loans any time soon: Tharman
Published on Jul 14, 2013 4:14 PM
The total debt servicing ratio (TDSR) that currently applies to property loans will not be extended to other types of loans any time soon, said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Sunday.
"We don't intend to, any time soon, extend the TDSR to other types of loans, but it's really for the banks to factor it into their own internal assessments," said Mr Tharman, who is also the Finance Minister at the sidelines of a grassroots event in Jurong.
"Supervision is more useful when it comes to the broad range of loans, not just more and more rules," he added.
The TDSR framework, introduced last month for property loans, takes into account a borrower's total repayments such as mortgages, car and student loans, and so on.

I want to write a program in Javascript that automatically fill in the user name and password in text fields of a live web page. Then it logs in for me.
The only way I can change text fields right now is to save the source page and modify code and then run the new code. But I want to be able to initiate a script that will fill out appropriate user name while I am at that website.
Can you guys tell me the basic implementation. I will figure out the details.

Leaf spring technology hasn't changed much since the era of horse and buggy, yet most trucks come equipped with the antiquated suspension because it holds up well, has a large carrying capacity, and is relatively inexpensive. Until Dodge released its latest '09 Ram with a five-link coil rear suspension, manufacturers placed utility over comfort. We've long been advocates of companies trying something new and Sulastic rubber springs answered the call of millions of truck owners asking for better ride quality. The Sulastic rubber spring simply replaces the old leaf spring shackle and bolts between the leaf spring and leaf spring mount. The large rubber spring reduces vibration by absorbing the suspension deflection and smoothing out the leaf spring's oscillation. Think of it almost as a shock for your leaf spring and not just your axle. Bolting on these springs won't compromise your truck's payload or towing, and for you lowered guys, it won't lift your truck either. Check out how easy the install was and give Sulastic a call to smooth out your rig's ride.
FROM THE DRIVER SEAT Anyone who has worked on a '99+ Chevy or GMC knows that the upper leaf spring hanger bolt is a real bear to get to without removing the U-bolts. That one bolt proved to be the only challenge of the install and once it was removed, the new Sulastic springs went right in. Our truck was an old work truck that had been beaten up pretty badly, but even so, we did notice an improved ride and much smoother rear axle with the new Sulastic springs in place. We'll be lowering this Sierra in an upcoming issue and we'll be sure to report back if these springs also create a smoother ride on a lowered truck.
Time Spent Working: 1 1/2 Hours Degree Of Difficulty: Beginner
Tools Needed: 13/16-inch wrench, 12mm socket, jack, jackstands, Liquid Wrench
Parts Used: Sulastic Rubber Springs SA-01 $349.99

Housing Recovery Seeds Planted, Economist Case Says: Tom Keene
Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The housing market may be poised to begin its turnaround in the months to come, according to S&P/Case-Shiller's Karl Case.
"If you look at the fundamentals, such as number of existing sales and number of new sales, and look if they are going in the right direction, they are," Case, co-creator of the S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values, said today in a radio interview on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt.
The index, which measures residential real-estate values in 20 cities, declined 3.7 percent from November 2010 after decreasing 3.4 percent in the year ended in October. Economists projected a 3.3 percent drop, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey.
Case said the information provided in the index, a three-month moving average of September, October and November, lags behind the real economy and he said he is more optimistic about the recovery than in past months based on leading data.
"I do believe the seeds of the recovery are being planted," he said.
According to Case, even with the decline in prices since the housing bubble burst, many homeowners who bought in the early 2000s are "still way ahead" in their investment, he said.
"You have people way on top with a high willingness to pay who are transacting," Case said. "Everyone else is holding out waiting for prices to go back and no one knows how long it will take for that to clear up."
'Shadow' Inventory
This leads to "shadow" inventory, he said. There are many people postponing the sale of their homes until prices stabilize. As the market picks up a "seemingly infinite supply" will become available, he said.
Case said another positive sign is the trend in household formations, in which the "massive movement" of young people who moved in with their parents during the housing crises are venturing out again.
From Sept. 2010 to July 2011 the market lost 750,000 households, according to Case. During August and September, of last year the market added 518,000 households, he said.
"We are getting at the business of tearing down some of the old and cleaning up the mess," Case said. "It's a complicated picture, but everything seems to be moving in the right direction."

Iran spawns new jihadist group in Gaza
Out of the Palestinian unity deal forged between Hamas and Fatah earlier this month, a new splinter has formed. Hesn is a shadowy Iran-backed jihadist faction in the Gaza Strip. The group's name is an acronym for Harakat as-Sabeereen Nasran li-Filastin, or "The Movement of the Patient Ones for the Liberation of Palestine."
Hesn (or hosn) means "fortification" or "bulwark." The implication is that the traditional Palestinian factions have gone weak in the knees. And for these Iran-backed fighters, one can understand why they believe this is so. The Fatah faction, since Mahmoud Abbas took over in 2005, has disavowed violence against Israel. Hamas, after the fall of Mohammed Morsi in Egypt last year, has been severely weakened - both economically and politically - which has curbed its appetite for violence. And now, after the formation of the unity government, even the Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) is vacillating between an outright campaign of violence and supporting the current fragile calm in the name of Palestinian nationalism.
Vacuums don't last long in the Middle East. Hesn's emergence is a case in point. But it's too soon to tell whether the group will have an impact.
For one thing, Hesn has not been around for very long. The first clues of the group's existence came in late May, in the northern Gaza refugee camp of Jabaliya, when a funeral was held for a Nizar Saeed Issa. The details surrounding Issa's death are fuzzy, but it was reported that he died after suffering injuries related to an unspecified explosion.
Issa's death garnered a substantial amount of support on social media platforms such as Facebook. That is when flags and photos bearing his image appeared alongside the newly created symbol of Hesn. The symbol is the same wielded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and Hezbollah. Iran has not claimed ownership of this group. It appears clear, however, that Hesn is yet another proxy group in Iran's violent orbit.
After Issa's death, sources indicated that Hisham al Salem is the group's current leader. Formerly a commander of the military wing of PIJ, the Quds Force Brigades, al Salem has now confirmed to a Gaza journalist from Al Monitor that he was "one of the prominent leaders" of Hesn, and that he had formed the predominantly Shiite group as a way to continue the resistance against Israel during the pause in violence, however informal and tenuous, prompted by the reconciliation agreement.
Al Salem has figured prominently in the Shiite movement in Gaza for years. His name came up a few years ago as the chairman of a now-defunct Shiite charity called al-Baqiyat al Salihat society, based in Jabaliya, the same city where Issa was killed. The charity was purportedly a vehicle to spread Shiite Islam on behalf of Iran in Gaza's nearly homogenous Sunni society. Amid its deteriorating ties with Iran over the Syrian civil war, the Hamas government in Gaza dismantled the Iranian-backed organization in 2011.
In the Al Monitor interview, al Salem was quick to downplay his alleged sectarian leanings, stressing that he sees "no reason to separate as Sunnis and Shiites." Al Salem has made a name for himself in Gaza as an outspoken advocate for Shiism, however, which has led to friction with PIJ figures, who accuse him of spreading 'sectarian strife.'
Perhaps for these reasons, Hesn now appears to be in the crosshairs of Hamas. The Facebook page for Hesn featuring the group's logo and links to Shiite forums is now defunct, ostensibly taken down by an adversary or removed for the group's protection.
But this does not mean that the group has dissolved. Al Salem claims the group has a shura council and an armed wing, although he did not reveal their numbers. Al Salem also did not elaborate on their overall mission in his interview with Al Monitor, apart from saying that the objective is "resistance."
While the group remains murky, its very existence is a sign that Iran is not prepared to allow for quiet in the Palestinian territories, even as Hamas and Fatah seek time and space to solidify their fragile unity arrangement. This serves only to underscore Iran's goals in the Palestinian arena. Instead of heeding the will of the overwhelming majority of Palestinians who support the efforts to re-forge a unified national identity after years of fracturing, Iran appears intent to push the Palestinians into conflict with Israel - or even themselves.

How exactly is a shia group planning on recruiting and supporting itself in gaza? Does not compute.
Posted by Matt at June 18, 2014 4:57 AM ET:
They do the same thing with IJ to keep Hamas inline, when they want action or believe they are going off the Iranian course. Hamas stall for more time to rebuild and delay then often suffer a serve beating. You can almost set your clock to when there will be action in Gaza.
Posted by sundoesntrise at June 19, 2014 5:17 AM ET:
I wonder if Iran is over-extending itself way too much. Their unwavering support for Assad has cost them billions of dollars and the lives of many Hezbollah fighters as well as elite Iranian intel operatives. Not to mention tarnishing their reputation for propping up a murderous family ruled regime. The sanctions imposed on them has also cost them dire economic/financial damage and you'd think sooner or later people in the region might get quite sick and tired of their meddling. The Middle East is not only hostile to U.S. interference, it is hostile to ALL interference.
Sooner or later, when it comes to Iran, something has gotta give.

The formidable black brick exterior is scattered with windows in what appears to be a haphazard way. This design feature brightens up the entire exterior, turning what could have been a somber design into something fun and cheerful.
Located in Béthune, France, Hollande by FRES Architects is surrounded by an area with a look dating back to the '70s. This building system updates the area while providing a haven for those who live within. With warm wood accents, the social housing provides a contemporary presence that could inspire the rest of the neighborhood to undergo a facelift.

In an attempt to pressure the State government to transfer the investigation of the stolen Jain idols from a Basadi in Moodbidri to the CBI, seers from eight different Jain Mutts in the State will stage a day-long silent proteston the premises of Thousand Pillars Temple at Moodbidri on Wednesday.
The protest will start at 8.30 a.m., and around 2,000 persons from the Jain community – including D. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala – are expected to participate in this, said a release from the Moodabidri Jain Samaj.
On the night of July 5, 15 antique Jain idols from Siddantha Darshan temple were stolen.
In the subsequent days, eight were recovered, while the main accused, Ghanshyam Das from Orissa, was arrested. While the Samaj expressed its appreciation of the police investigation in the immediate aftermath of the theft, they are sceptical of the progress after the arrests.
"The police haven't been able to make any further inroads in the case and have not recovered all the idols," said the Samaj in a release.
A CBI inquiry was needed as the case was dear to the Jain community, while the extensive network of idol thieves –Karnataka, Orissa and Chhattisgarh – needed a national-level investigative agency, said the release.

Could I please have suggestions on where you would end the backsplash. The white woodwork on the right is part of a large entryway to the family room. I just finished priming the wall that was damaged from removing the granite backsplash. (That's another story:) |

Ditto the above advice. |
Add me to the list. You will need to balance the discrepancy with art work. |
- Posted by annalyn123 (My Page) on Wed, Aug 28, 13 at 18:48
That was my feeling, but when I hold up the tile at the end of the cabinet, there is quite a bit of space of countertop that feels unfinished. The installer likes to go to the end of the countertop for that reason. If I did go to the end of the countertop, would it look more balanced if I went up about a third of the cabinet. I knows this sounds funny, but I don't like the look of ending so early at the end of the cabinet since the counter overhangs more than the photo makes it appear. I also don't like a floating wall of tile either:( I have the same situation on the other side of the countertop, but it only extends about 2 inches. I will have to go to the end of the countertop on that wall because of the outlet and I didn't have time to get an electrician in to change it. |
The logical end point for a backsplash on a counter is the counter. Why is there so much of an overhang? Can you put corner shelves on the end? I agree that the excess counter would look odd. Unfortunately, there isn't a perfect solution since the counter and cabinetry are out of sync for some reason. Can you post a wider shot of the area? |

There was a lengthy discussion of this on the forum last spring. See link below for some food for thought. The decision may vary depending on what sort of tile you are using. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Backsplash edge discussion

Snookums2, I included another photo. The overhang is 11 inches and was used as counterspace with stools before we recently built the additional, which is what you see on the right. I removed the granite backsplash this weekend and I now am thinking that the installer wanted to go to the end of the counter because of a small space where the granite meets the wall. I am not sure if it is too large to be filled. The cabinets were custom made by a local person, but because they are natural cherry, I am not sure he could add anything there that wouldn't look like an "add-on." I am so tired right now, I may just say "surprise me!" Thanks RubyWednesday22! It was great to see some photos. Thanks to everyone that has offered an opinion!!! |

I found a photo I took right before I removed the backsplash which shows a wider shot of half the kitchen (I currently have the kitchen covered with moving blankets to protect the countertops.) The other half is not a problem because the counter is surrounded with cabinetry. |
I think I would carry it to the end and then a bit upwards, as you said. |
Here's one just posted. |
- Posted by akcorcoran (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 0:14
I would end it at the cabinet and put a bullnose tile or, better yet, a pencil piece vertically there. Since you have a light switch on that wall, it will look intentional. And the "finishing" piece will show that you did it with thought and design vs it just "ending." Does your tile have a matching pencil or bullnose? Here's what we did at the end of ours? Wood on right is also the door trim. It ends where the cabinet ends - now we have a standard overhang but I still think it needs to end where the cabinet ends. If you look on the right, you can see the pencil piece. Please ignore the unfinished cabinet crown molding in the second one - eek! Good luck! |
We ended the tile flush with the cabinet. We had decided to do it this way before picking out tile and chose a tile that could be made with a bullnose end and finished ends of the novelty. |

Chris Kelsay calls out teammates
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Chris Kelsay is in no mood to enjoy Buffalo's bye week after the latest meltdown from the Bills' high-priced defense.
And the veteran defensive end delivered a tough-worded critique Monday that should make the upcoming break uncomfortable for his teammates, too.
Declining to single anyone out, Kelsay accused players of lacking effort in a 35-34 loss to Tennessee a day earlier. He then added it's time for team leaders to start holding teammates accountable.
"You watch film and not everybody was playing hard every snap. And that's unacceptable," Kelsay said. "It's a blessing to be in this league. And then to go out there and lay an egg, there's no excuses for it."
AFC East blog
ESPN.com's James Walker writes about all things AFC East in his division blog.
As for what it might take to get players' attention, Kelsay said: "We might have to grab guys by the shirt collar and tell them to get moving."
In his 10th season with Buffalo, Kelsay is the defense's longest-tenured player, and one of the team's most respected leaders. His comments come as Buffalo (3-4) enters its bye week having lost three of four, and facing numerous questions before returning from its break to play at Houston on Nov. 4.
The most pressing concern involves fixing an under-performing Mario Williams-led defense that's allowed an NFL-worst 1,238 yards rushing, including a whopping 937 in its past four games.
The Titans were but the latest team to expose the Bills' deficiencies.
After managing just 301 yards in his first six games, Titans running back Chris Johnson looked rejuvenated in racking up 195 yards rushing and two scores Sunday. And Buffalo crumbled in the clutch, allowing the Titans to score the decisive touchdown -- Matt Hasselbeck's 15-yard pass to Nate Washington -- on a fourth-and-9 with 1:03 remaining.
This was not the type of performance anyone imagined from a defense that was supposed to be much-improved after the Bills committed more than $127 million to sign Williams and fellow defensive end Mark Anderson in free agency. Though the pass-rush has improved, Buffalo's defense has regressed in most every other statistical category.
"I wouldn't have believed that in a million years," Kelsay said. "That's why it's so frustrating."
He became the latest member of the Bills organization -- and first player -- to openly question the team's performance.
Coach Chan Gailey questioned his team's mental toughness three weeks ago after a 52-28 loss to New England in which the Bills were outscored 45-14 in the second half.
A week later, general manager Buddy Nix blamed the defensive collapses on an overall lack of urgency after the Bills were accused of quitting in a 45-3 loss at San Francisco.
The Bills rebounded a week later with a 19-16 overtime win at Arizona, but they failed to carry over that momentum against Tennessee.
"I'm not pointing the finger. I'm looking in the mirror myself," Kelsay said. "But if you aren't going to give us everything you've got, you shouldn't be on the field."
Gailey was caught off guard when told of Kelsay's comments.
"Kelsay's entitled to his opinion," Gailey said, before adding everyone can play better. "It's not that I don't think we're playing hard. I do. I think we play hard. Can we play better? That's the key. Being consistent. That's the term I used with the players this morning."
Williams has taken the brunt of criticism for his inconsistent play. He's managed just 3½ sacks and been invisible in all four losses.
Gailey said it was also unfair to single out Williams.
"I wish everybody was doing a little bit more right now, not just him," he said.
Running back Fred Jackson said there's plenty of blame to go around, and not just limited to the defense.
"Everybody has to be held accountable for what they are doing," Jackson said. "It's a sick feeling right now. But at the same time we can't go in the tank."
Game notes
Gailey said RG Chad Rinehart sustained a "long-term" injury after hurting his left ankle on Sunday. Gailey said more tests will be required before determining whether the injury is season-ending. ... Rinehart was starting in place of Kraig Urbik (right ankle), who is expected to return next week. ... The Bills will practice Wednesday before getting a four-day break.

If you can think of a theme, Daniel can make a sneaker for you. But why go through the mental stress of trying to come up with your own idea when he has already come up with so many great creations? The Daniel Reese customized sneakers above feature the images of Michael Jackson, President Obama, John Lennon, Iron Man, and even the Simpsons.

I want to buy a new Toyota Camry and was told by a salesman that I could not get one with an ash tray and lighter !
I have friends who smoke and I do also occassionally. Is this now how cars are coming and do you know how this can be after market installed? |
Follow-Up Postings:
In many cars, the lighter is not standard, but can be ordered after the fact as an option. It should be dealer-installable. If this dealer won't do it, maybe another will? |
I am not sure how Toyota is.But GM does not put an ash tray or lighter in the smaller cars.I have had a 1999 Cavalier and now a 2002 and it does not have an ash tray.However there is an option that is availble.Its an ash tray that fits in the cup holder.Metal tin with a lid that flips up.I guess you have to decide if you want to smoke or have a drink? There is also no lighter but it does have the recepticle.They use to be lighters but now there cell phone and radar detector power sources.Just no lighter.Acctually my Cavalier has two of them.One on the dash and one on the console.I guess they feel people do not smoke and drive these days.They drive and talk on the cell phone?I smoke but I do not smoke when I drive.Only in my old work car.But not in my cars I care about.I like the new smell and do not want burn holes in my seats. |

Kitchen Experts, What do you think about using ceiling height cabinets in this kitchen? We love the look but are worried about them being too overpowering in this space. FYI..this is not our kitchen but we are building this same layout. |
Follow-Up Postings:

I would prefer to the ceiling rather than the gap in this kitchen. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Thu, May 9, 13 at 21:32
Not too overpowering. It look better, IMHO, than your photo. Plus, you won't have to worry about a thick layer of gross dust building up on top of the cabs. |
I think cabinets to the ceiling will look great. The eye will travel upward and not be stopped by the top of a too short cabinet. We decided to go to the ceiling and love the result. Good luck! |
Ceiling height cabinets would look much better than the height shown. The kitchen is pretty but the height of those cabinets would drive me nutso! |
What PP's said. Also, it might be better to stack them instead of very tall ones. You can have glass doors on some to 'break' the 'monotonicity'. |
Wow..it seems to be unanimous. Eleena...thats exactly what we were thinking..stacked cabinets with glass doors on top. |
I agree, that space would look better with to the ceiling cabinets. If possible, I would also consider changing the hood; opening it up instead of the boxed across wood. I think it would nicely balance out the detail over the sink. |
- Posted by TorontoTim (My Page) on Thu, May 9, 13 at 22:21
Definitely go to the ceiling. Our small 10x14 kitchen has 9 foot ceilings and going all the way up makes the room feel larger than it is. |
Up to the ceiling! Stacked (or stacked look done with the doors being partial glass/solid) is nice. |
You don't seem to have any controversy here, but just in case you need one more -- I think it would look much cleaner to go to the ceiling. If you didn't want stacked, you could do a stacked crown treatment to give the visual lift and clean finish without actually adding more cabinets. |
We considered taking our cabinets up to our 9ft ceiling for our upcoming reno but decided against it. The cost was the biggest issue but I also think that it would have been too heavy of a look for the space. We are going with staggered heights, as we like the look better than the tops being a straight line. The tall cabinets are 96" high and the shorter uppers are 36" high. We were already getting much more cabinet space than we have currently, which was the main goal of the reno. |
This post was edited by gpraceman on Thu, May 9, 13 at 23:09
My new kitchen, and my wife's old one, go to the 8' ceiling, which is my first choice. My pre-tearout kitchen had a 1' soffit. so the cabinets went to 7'. Less storage space, but I could reach all of it without a stool. I like the staggered look okay if the ceilings are high. |
I like cabinets that go right to the ceiling with no gap. The dust that sits on top of the cabinets when there is a gap is amazing and pretty difficult to clean. |
- Posted by ck_squared (My Page) on Fri, May 10, 13 at 18:29
What do people do who have 10 ft ceilings? Seems cost prohibitive to go to the ceiling then, right? And also seems like that would be too much cabinetry. |
I have 8.5' ceilings and am using standard uppers with a flat panel of trim and then the crown moulding to the ceiling. I feel it is a better look in a kitchen with low ceilings. No dirt above and the tall cabinets just belong in a house with higher ceilings. Anyway you can't reach the top shelf without a stool so what is the point. |
Sweetfish, there are design and functional benefits to both. A long era of open "shadow spaces" above cabinets followed a long era of building the walls out to fill in. Now the current trendy look is solidly to the ceiling, those who still choose stopping short independents who march to their own drummer and, of course, developers saving money. They all look good. In any case, to-the-ceiling in 9' kitchens is now such a common look that it would look perfectly normal to most. CK, depends on the scale of the space, storage needs, and pocket book, right? |
Ck_squared, I have 10-foot ceilings, and this is what I did. I decided against stacked cabinets because I'd have to get on a stool to open the upper doors. With mine I can see everything by opening one door. I really like TorontoTim's stacked look. |
My ceilings are 8'8", we went with 42" uppers and crown molding to the ceiling.. Current builder grade kitchen has 36" cabs and they are so gross on top I can't stand it (and that's with cleaning up there often).. It will be a happy day when they come down! |
CK, I forgot to mention in the "going all the way up" that cabinets look far, far better if the cabinet boxes and doors don't actually do that, if the doors do stop short but the rest of the height is filled in to match the cabinetry. This is why TorontoTim's and Mpagmom's uppers look so fantastic. This current look, BTW, is not at all new. It is a return an even earlier kitchen era that ended with mass cabinet production in the 1950s. Before that, cabinets tended to be built on site by finish carpenters. They were built in and looked it, as opposed to the factory-produced boxes bolted to the wall of all the later looks until this one came round again. |
rosie, what did you mean when you wrote: "cabinets look far, far better if the cabinet boxes and doors don't actually do that, if the doors do stop short but the rest of the height is filled in to match the cabinetry." We had planned do have our wall cabinets go to the ceiling, with solid doors for the main part of the cabinet, and windowed lighted doors for the top. We were thinking that they should be separate doors/cabinets - would it look better to do one long door like TorontoTim's? |
My ceilings are 10 feet and we did a shorter glass front cabinet that is really just display above the main cabinets. Above the oven, it is 24" deep and glass seemed silly there, so we did a solid door and I have a large closed storage space. On the fridge and pantry wall, the upper cabinets are taller and go from the top of the fridge to the crown and we get really nice storage up there for things like canning pots, some catering size trays and even a turkey fryer. It isn't everyday storage but it is wonderful space for us to have. |

lascatx, I'd love to see a photo of your kitchen with 10-ft ceilings. We are planning our remodel and do have a design but it stops short of the ceiling by approx. a foot. We will have 36" uppers topped with 16" glass horizontal tip-up doors (it's a more modern style). Then there will be a 4" linear molding at the top leaving that gap above. (sorry to keep hijacking your thread, OP) |
I'm guessing rosie means have molding above? Either way I agree all the way with no opening above looks better. |

we have 9' ceilings and we are planning to go all the way to the ceiling. We don't have many uppers though. I just don't like the dust and grime that gets in the gap. |
If you can afford it, go to the ceiling but use a trim board (small crown) Also, I would recommend drawers instead of doors on many of your lowers, Good luck |
Swirlycat, every now and then someone installs cabinets with the tops of the boxes literally by the ceiling, or just an inch or two below. Since we were using a to-the-ceiling term, I thought it'd better be clarified that this is usually not done because it tends to look poorly designed (possibility always kept open for any well-done exceptions of course). If you scan the Finished Kitchens Bog and Houzz kitchens for this issue, you'll develop your own ideas of what looks good to you. As Island and A2gemini said, if you put in taller uppers and thus had little space left, you could finish with a crown-type molding above. Mpagmom's kitchen shows what I think I've heard referred to as a "schoolhouse" molding. Whatever the name, a board is used to fill in a greater amount of vertical empty space and then trimmed top and bottom with molding. If your cabinet boxes are shorter and leave 7 to 12 inches or so, that's a nice way to handle it. |

Personally, I am not a fan of taking the cabinets to the ceiling when it is really just filling up a foot or more of a gap with a bunch of moldings. That is just a dressed up soffit. If you need the storage space, by all means, take them as high as you need, but don't spend all that extra money just to keep from dusting up there once every blue moon. |
ck_squared - We have 10 foot ceilings and we are not going to the ceiling because of the cost (it would have been an extra third of what our cabinets cost) |

Much preferred to carry all the way up using any of the methods presented. I've never understood staggered gaps and floating moldings. Much more integrated to fill the space. I don't use my MIL's dishes everyday but they do display nicely behind glass. So nice to see quality and timeless ideas returning to kitchen design. |

R5 support to end in Sept. '05
Lotus will pull the plug on support for Notes and Domino R5 in September 2005, pledging to back the product for five more months than it had planned.
IBM Lotus has announced that the official "end-of-life" date for Lotus Notes and Domino Release 5 will be September 30, 2005.

By submitting you agree to receive email communications from TechTarget and its partners. Privacy Policy Terms of Use.
Following that date, software maintenance, phone support, electronic support and software program fixes for R5 and all its point releases will no longer be available from IBM Lotus.
Originally scheduled to be retired in April 2005, the product's life was extended to allow customers more time to upgrade to the most current release of the Notes/Domino product set.
Version 5.0.13 was initially released in March. However, a day after its release, Domino Server 5.0.13 was pulled back because of reports that the server would crash following certain event notifications regarding changes to the Access Control List on the Domino Directory. A remedied version of Domino, 5.0.13a, was released in April.
The R5 product line is expected to be gradually withdrawn from the market as soon as this fall. Lotus has already announced that it will retire most R5 certification exams at the end of November.

Backcountry skiing at Whistler Blackcomb's Flute Bowl
Family kayaking (Dave Heath photo)
The four-season resort community of Whistler offers numerous kayaking and canoeing opportunities on placid lakes surrounded by glacier-capped Coast Mountain peaks.
More kayaking and canoeing is available nearby in Vancouver and the Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region.
The Whistler Valley is home to five freshwater lakes that lure kayakers and canoeists all summer long. Highlights include Green Lake and Alta Lake. Don't miss the River of Golden Dreams.
All of Whistler's lakes are in close proximity to the Village and are accessible by car, public bus, bicycle and foot. Guided tour companies often provide transportation from Whistler Village to the various paddling destinations.
Just north of Whistler Village, Green Lake's aquamarine waters and forest-lined shores give way to spectacular views of local mountains. The lake's rainbow trout, kokanee, and Dolly Varden make for some great fishing opportunities, too.

Alta Lake has parks on its north, south and east shores, and a mountain rising 1,844m/6,051ft on its west. With majestic scenery, calm waters, and convenient canoe and kayak rental opportunities, Alta Lake is a hotspot for local and visiting outdoor enthusiasts.
One of the most popular paddles in Whistler is a guided run down the River of Golden Dreams. Meandering through a lush watershed area, this tranquil river connects Alta Lake to Green Lake and features great wildlife viewing opportunities along the way.
In the summer months, guided kayak and canoe tours, as well as rentals, are readily available around Whistler. Most guided paddling excursions last about three hours, but customized tours can often be arranged. Some companies offer self-guided tours – they provide pick-up and drop-off service, and you get a private paddling experience. Guided tour and rental companies will usually supply all necessary gear and safety equipment, or will provide guests with a list of items to bring.
While it's usually possible to kayak or canoe Whistler's waters from April to October, it's generally agreed that the best paddling opportunities are found from June to September.
