"Poor quality
by Mrs Markwell
As a fan of the magic oven liner i was keen to give these a try. In the picture they look quite thick, but in reality they are very very flimsy and once cut they just look like a cheap and nasty patchwork quilt on my hob. Would not recommend!

"totally time saving
by Hazel Russell
These are a big saver both of time and mood - they are so easy to wash and reuse and they save time to get angry that the cooker hobs have to be washed AGAIN. We have apartment in N. Cyprus with gas & electric hob & I have shown them to so many people who did not know they exist or how they work. Full 5 stars to them - every time.

"disappointed in magic hob liners
by Mrs harris
I have to agree these took a bit of time to cut and fit to my range(i got 2 sets) it looks like a patchwork quilt now!! and they catch fire easy very disappointed and won't be replacing them-a waste of money

A note from the team: Thanks for your feedback. It's best to cut the hole a little bigger in diameter than your hob to ensure it doesn't come into contact with the flames. I'll be in touch shortly.
"Not very happy
by Gill
Unlike other reviewers I don't like these. They burnt and scored my new cooker on the second time of using and trying to clean them without a dishwasher is a nightmare- they are hard to clean and then don't know how to leave them to drain to dry. I shall not be replacing them except with good old elbow grease - think this will be much easier!!

"not very good
by Pat
I have had these replaced once already but the 2nd set now has holes in them and charred edges. An excellent idea but could be more durable. Also they seem to retain stains that I can't remove.

"Very disappointed
by Y
I bought them in store a while ago and thought they would help keeping my hobs clean. I found them very fiddly to cut, difficult to keep them in place as they kept creasing up in places. The holes weren't big enough and even after cutting to size, they caught fire. Very disappointed.

"Magic Hob Liners
by amanda
Sorry Lakeland, nice try but they really don't do the job that well. I very carefully cut them out and they fitted quite well but because the material is light and flexes rather than being floppy they ended up burning. Using an extra large frying pan seemed to spread the flame and even on low the material burnt. If the fabric was heavier and more pliable they might work. Great idea and nice try but it needs more development.

"Not so magic hob liners
by Mr Christopher Joannou
I cut the liners to size and put them in position. The hole for one of them was not large enough and when the gas was turned it caught alight. Apart from this, they look tacky and they are more trouble than they are worth. It's much easier to clean the oven!

by ANGELA
After having had the liners for three months I finally got round to fitting them. I found the liners flimsy and difficult to fit. I opted for these precut liners for ease of use but they still needed cutting. On all but one of the burners the pre cut lines were visible and as the material was so thin this rumpled up and so dirt and grease could go under the liner . My cooker hob certainly did not look like the illustration. My advice is to consider the size of your hob rings and to take into consideration any contours of your cooker top before purchase. I do not consider them value for money

"Try before you buy?
by Mrs A Brannan
These are not suitable for my hob. Its burners have a fixed plate under the diffuser and flame protector preventing the liners from lying completely flat. Problem is amplified by the pan holders' weight on top. I would have realised this had I been able to read the fitting instructions before buying. The warning not to heat to 300C deg is unhelpful. How do you measure the heat of a hob flame?

by Ruth
I found I had to cut so much of the middle away or the liner caught fire that they don't catch the spills properly. They are a fiddle to fit and have to be readjusted everytime before I cook. Water gets underneath and they look so inelegant that I wish I hadn't purchased them. The worst product I have ever bought from Lakeland!

"Hob liners
by Vanessa Pay
I think these help but do not totally work. I bought mine about a year ago and since moving house have decided not to continue using them. They have got black spots from burnt on food which I can't wash off and then looks dirty when put back on the hob again. I wonder if doing them in black may help this problem. Also they don't protect against water spills and when I've removed them to clean them often I find dried on spills underneath. They can also be difficult to fit round some of the hobs and just don't look very nice.

I read all the reviews, good and bad, and decided to take a chance on these because the idea is such a good one and I hate cleaning my hob. They are fiddly and flimsy, move about in use and look really strange. I'm going to persevere with them for a bit longer to see whether I get used to them, but I don't think I shall buy a replacement set.

After having a new oven and hob I firstly brought the oven liner which I was thrilled with, I then bought the hob liners hoping for the same standard as the oven liner but was left disappointed! They were fiddly to cut and a disappointing fit, they don't sit flat which means spills still get on the hob surface, which defeats the object of the liners! I've purchased several Lakeland products but sadly this was my worse purchase.

"Wish I read the reviews before purchasing
by Rebeca
I have never been let down by a Lakeland product before. I brought this product thinking that it would save a lot of time scrubbing the hob, however they have been fiddly to cut to size to prevent them from burning when the gas is on and now they look untidy. They also slip so I have managed to burn two of the four so they look even worse. I am very disappointed with this product. I feel like I have wasted my money.

"Not up to Lakeland Standard
by Mr Paul Clews
We bought this product after being very pleased with the magic oven liner ,however we are bitterly disappointed, the hob liners are flimsy, because they are individual spills flow underneath, the cut outs are not large enough for some of our burners so cutting is required they then look unsightly. We would not recommend this product, Lakeland please take note and produce a liner similar in quality to the oven liner.

"Waste of money
by c
This product seemed great. Suits all hobs, easy to clean, etc but I am extremely disappointed as it is not the case. I did read the reviews and it sounded too good to be true. The product had to be trimmed to size, I only did one of the four and it still doesn't fit. The liner will actually touch the flame when positioned and because it is so slippy it will not stay in place when the pan holder is in place. It does not lie flat on the cooking surface because it actually slips out of place when the pan holders are set down. I would not recommend this product at all.

"Great product but ...
by Nathalie
I recently bought these liners to give as a present to my sister who used aluminium foil to do the same job. Enticed by the reviews I read online, I thought that these liners were the answer to her prayers: easy to set up, clean, easy on the eye, economical and environmentally friendly. However, less than 2 months later, she had to discard them as they fell apart. I am reluctant to buy her replacement ones as they are rather expensive for a usage of less than 2 months! If these were made of silicone like the oven liner which I have used without problems for years, they might be so flimsy.

NEWS: Paul Gilbert demos the Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
Just spotted this at Random Chatter Music: a page at Ibanez.com featuring Paul Gibert demoing his new singature Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger pedal.
Check out the samples here. You'll hear several variations of the wild laser and whammy effects Paul conjures from his flanger pedal, as well as some more traditional flanger effects.
One Response to NEWS: Paul Gilbert demos the Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger
Oh wow… thanks for the link!
*agreed* It's mind-boggling how many different subtle effects he can actually utilize on his songs. That's probably where some of the sonic flavor and texture comes from and why it's so dang hard to replicate some parts of his tone.
I Heart Guitar remains a great blog — keep up the awesome work!

Wichita couple's philanthropy benefits scholarships
September 18, 2014
A desire to help students make career choices positioning them for lifelong success is one of the motivations a Wichita couple shares in contributing to Emporia State University's comprehensive fund-raising campaign.
Roger D. and Carla (Bailey) Smith are making an estate gift in excess of $1 million to Now & Forever: The Campaign for Emporia State University.
A portion of the Smiths' gift will benefit a Success Center fund. "We think that's a very exciting and critical element for student success and retention," said Carla Smith.
One of the campaign's 18 Big Ideas, the Success Center will weave together academic advising, student retention services and a learning and tutoring center for students as they progress through their coursework. Selecting the necessary courses to graduate on time and identifying career options post-graduation are additional components of the Success Center.
The Smiths are also gifting a portion of their estate to establish two scholarships in their names to benefit graduates of public high schools in Wichita, where the couple lived and worked until retirement, Paola (Roger's hometown), and Ellsworth (Carla's hometown).
"Carla's and Roger's philanthropy speaks volumes about the crucial significance of recruiting and retaining students," said DenaSue Potestio, Emporia State University Foundation president/CEO. "Their gifts will give us the tools we will use to grow enrollment and build Emporia State's future."
Roger and Carla first met at the institution of higher education known as Kansas State Teachers College. During the time they attended, the school's name changed twice, becoming Emporia State University in 1977.
"The education we received at Emporia State gave us a solid foundation for our careers," said Roger. "In addition, we developed friendships that have lasted a lifetime." He worked at Boeing/Spirit AeroSystems until retiring.
Carla Smith retired as an elementary school principal in Wichita after working in schools whose students were from low-income families. "I developed a passion for helping students understand the possibilities that an education can provide for their future," she said, noting that one of the scholarships bearing their names will be directed toward Emporia State education majors.
"The incredible generosity of Carla and Roger makes the goal of becoming a teacher attainable for the fine minds of Kansas students," said Dr. Ken Weaver, dean of The Teachers College.
"The preparation of teachers has changed dramatically over 150 years, but Emporia State's goal has remained the same — to prepare professionals whose effective teaching results in student learning," Weaver added.
"The Smiths' philanthropy will make dreams come true, and Kansas children will be the ultimate beneficiaries of their gift," said Dr. Michael D. Shonrock, Emporia State's president.
"Our bell ringing celebrations are meant to honor our generous donors and sound a voice of success to Hornet Nation," said Potestio.
Silent Joe, the campanile on campus and symbol for the Now & Forever campaign, was silent for many years because it was rung only when the Hornets had a home football team victory.
"Now reframed as a beacon of achievement and symbol of accomplishment, Silent Joe rings out to celebrate successes across campus," explained Potestio. "Forever, we are Silent No More."
About Now & Forever
Launched in February 2013, Now & Forever: The Campaign for Emporia State University is a five- to seven-year effort with a working goal of $45 million. In only a little over two years, it is already the most successful fund-raising initiative in University history, with financial commitments exceeding $29 million.
The campaign supports student scholarships, academic departments and initiatives that advance Emporia State's mission to recruit students, teach and retain them, encourage them to graduate with lower levels of student debt and ultimately put them on a path to a solid career.
For more information about opportunities to give to the Now & Forever campaign, visit www.nowandforever.org, or contact DenaSue Potestio at 620-341-5440.

The pastor of a Cleveland congregation holding worship services inside a former warehouse is speaking out following a decree of excommunication by Cleveland Bishop Richard Lennon.
Last of 11 closed northeast Ohio churches plans reopening
CLEVELAND - The last of 11 churches closed by the Cleveland Catholic Diocese and later spared by the Vatican is planning its reopening.
A parishioner tells The Plain Dealer ( http://bit.ly/XjgP6A ) that Cleveland's St. Emeric will likely reopen the first Sunday in November.
Bishop Richard Lennon says the church also will be getting its former priest back.
The 10 other churches already have reopened in the Cleveland area.
The 11 churches were among 50 closed or merged by the bishop because of declining congregations, finances and priests. Parishioners from the churches appealed the closings to a Vatican panel, which upheld their appeals.
Lennon announced in April that he would not challenge Vatican decrees declaring he didn't follow proper procedures in closing the parishes.

Hi all,
im a new member to the forums and i have jus bought my first FORD FIESTA m-reg MK3.
I picked up this car for very cheap as its got a few problems and isnt in as good as shape as it could be, but this is one reason i bought it as its my second car and i want to spend time on it to get it in shape and then hopefully start to modify it.....
So here's the first problem i need help with....
There is some rust which has now got to the point of slightly corroding the front and back panels underneath the bumpers. So i know i need to fill the holes and hopefully treat the rust somehow before priming, re-painting, etc.
I have been advised to buy some "Isopon P40 fibre glass" [url="http://www.repairproducts.co.uk/userimages/p40a.jpg"]http://www.repairproducts.co.uk/userimages/p40a.jpg[/url].
But was wondering if any1 else knows the best things to use or has had experience doing this before?

Want to learn more about the names and faces behind Abodian's award-winning designs? If you're in the neighborhood, drop on by our offices and manufacturing facility in the Rainier Valley. We'd love to give you a tour.
Abodian was born after our experience in remodeling showed us that there was a glaring hole in the market for people looking for high quality, reasonably priced cabinetry with a modicum of style. We observed big box retailers and production houses falling short in terms of construction method, materials and design options and the traditional custom shops were just not accessible for the recession-stung, for the new homebuyer, for the person who wanted to give their house a functional facelift without having to tap their firstborn's college fund.
So we found some creative solutions to respond to that need, maximizing our use of the latest, most efficient technologies, focusing on innovative, interesting and ergonomic designs and locally spearheading a movement that globally has been nicknamed "mass customization."
Because we are people with a conscience, we have built a company with a conscience too. We're proud to be employers in a tough economic time. We're thrilled to support local suppliers, producers and neighborhood lunch spots while servicing our customers across North America. We care about environmental stewardship and whenever we can, we find ways to give back to the local community that has helped us grow our business into the thriving, joyful enterprise it is today. Thanks for taking a look at our new website and moreover, thanks for contemplating Abodian as your storage solution provider. Warmly, Jeff

Very comfortable shoes
Great shoes for walking around a wet lawn. I did not need to get the insulated version of these shoes....the thick rubber soles kept my feet warm. I normally wear a 10 1/2 but since these come in whole sizes only the 10 fits perfectly.

completely waterproof, tough but very comfortable
I bought these shoes for my husband and myself. We wear them nearly full time in damp PA woodland. They are the best all around outdoor shoe, not only for gardening.
My two year old pair are still like new. Just ordered a new pair for my husband. He is extremely hard on clothing / shoes and the elastic top started wearing a bit.
August 19, 2014
Muck Shoes are tops for gardeining.
The shoes are waterproof, have good grips, and have a soft inner lining. This is my 2nd pair, as the first ones have been sliced by a pitchfork; otherwise, they are wearing like iron, not like flexible bonded material.

June 30, 2013
Easy way to purchase and great value

The ordering was easy to do on line and I received the shoes in a timely manner with good notification via e-mail of the status of my order. The shoes fit well and are very comfortable for slipping on for use during the winter or summer.

TUCSON- A big move is underway to restore an important piece of Tucson history. The Jelks Stud Farm, a registered national landmark, is getting a makeover by the Rillito Park Foundation.
The Jelks Stud Farm that sits between the Rillito Racetrack and River Road was home to J. Rukin Jelks, one of the founders of quarter horse racing. He bred quarter horses on that property, which hasn't been changed since it was built in 1940.
When Jelks built the home quarter horse racing, or sprinting horses was just something he did for fun. Until, he built the Rillito Racetrack in his backyard.
"At the time when they started breeding the thoroughbreds with the cow ponies and started getting these super fast horses, that cover these short distances, the judges couldn't decide who had won. So the photo finish, which is something used at every track in the world, was created here," said Jaye Wells, with the Rillito Park Foundation.
The 1,850 square foot ranch home is an architectural masterpiece, just the second burnt adobe structure ever built in Pima County. The walls are double adobe thick, brick floors in exquisite patters run through the home, the ceiling is lined with saguaro ribs, ironwork handcrafted in Mexico, and wood barn doors remind you you're on a stud farm.
The horses had it good too. There is a beautiful barn with murals by famous artist Tex Wheeler. A beautiful garden was once the gathering place for friends and family, now nothing remains but a large mesquite tree, the foundation hopes to bring it back to life.
"This garden would have been originally planted with grass and would have plantings on the perimeter," explained Walter Rogers, another founder of the foundation.
But, restoring the house and garden is just the tip of the iceberg. Eventually the site will be home to the Horse and Rider Museum.
"We're going to reach out and do things that deal with the art and culture of basically, post-Columbian and the impact the horse and rider had on the Americas," said Wells.
The foundation is already working on getting some events lined up for the next race season. They plan on having a seating area that overlooks the track for pre-race events.

It's no secret that the Orlando Magic lack a consistent shot creator on the perimeter. This has been the case since Vince Carter was traded last season, though it was an issue at times even when he was around. The Magic don't have a LeBron James on the roster, someone that can get them a bucket on offense at any time. Instead, head coach Stan Van Gundy — as stated elsewhere — has to make up for it offensively by creating a lot of pick-and-roll, post-up, or spot-up opportunities. Very rarely will you see Van Gundy call for an isolation play.
Put it this way. Hedo Turkoglu, the likeliest candidate for Orlando to run an isolation play, given that he's 6-foot-10 and can get his shot off without much resistance from the defense, has been involved in 12 such possessions this season. And that number is a team-high! In isolation, Turkoglu is averaging 0.67 points per possession according to Synergy Sports Technology, which isn't very good. To compare, James has run 50 isolation plays for himself and has averaged 0.90 points per possession, which ranks eighth in the NBA.
It's a night-and-day comparison and worth illustrating how the Magic don't rely on isolation plays, as the Sacramento Kings were the latest team to find out.
Orlando runs so many pick-and-roll variations, it's hard to keep track of them, but a lot of their plays come out of staggered pick-and-rolls. A staggered pick-and-roll is when an offense sets two screens, instead of one, for the ballhandler to create for either himself, one of the screeners, or someone else. It's a great pick-and-roll variation to run because it creates extra space for the ballhander to wreak havoc on a defense. On this possession, Glen Davis and Ryan Anderson are the two screeners while Jameer Nelson is the ballhander.
Anderson sets the screen on Tyreke Evans. Typically Davis would have been used as a screener too but Evans went around him. But that's the beauty of a staggered pick-and-roll. Even though Evans cheats and gets around Davis, Anderson is there to set the screen for Nelson anyway. J.J. Hickson helps on Nelson while Evans recovers but that's going to spell doom for the Kings very shortly. Nelson has a ton of options at this point. If Hickson sags, Nelson can take a jumper. Or Nelson can distribute the basketball elsewhere.
Nelson decides to be a distributor on this play. On this entire possession, Marcus Thornton is caught ball-watching on Nelson as he dribble penetrates into the lane. Little does Thornton know that while Nelson came around the screen, Jason Richardson executed a backdoor cut. In the blink of an eye, as soon as Richardson attacked the rim, Nelson passed it to him for a wide-open dunk. This play doesn't happen if Nelson is aggressive in his approach offensively, forcing Hickson to account for him and opening up the paint in the process.
The staggered 1/5 pick-and-roll with Nelson, Anderson, and Davis is a type of play that the Magic like to run to really put pressure on a defense. Typically instead of Davis, Dwight Howard will be the screener at center.
In any case, pick-and-rolls are Orlando's antidote to the lack of shot creators on the roster. The pick-and-roll, in essence, creates the same type of open space on the perimeter for Nelson or Turkoglu that an isolation set for James would.

Perivolas is gorgeous hotel is poised on the cliff high above the Aegean, on the island of Santorini in Greece. The interior is stunning, I love the (subtle) use of color. There are no TVs by the way as it is a place to switch off. A place to read, recharge, relax, sleep, rest, and dream.
Originally designed as a family home, Perivolas still feels like a private residence. Intimate in scale and atmosphere, every house is different. Built by native craftsmen using local materials, the interiors embody Cycladic style, with its organic forms and smooth surfaces. Breezy rooms are naturally cooled by sculpted stone walls and vaulted ceilings pierced by skylights.
Beds are built into snug alcoves, adorned with a posy of hand-picked flowers. Niches and archways are scooped out of whitewashed walls, low-slung sofas offset by hand-woven rugs and cushions in vivid fuschia and lilac. Timeless and quietly glamorous, interiors are pared down so that nothing distracts from the show-stopping views and nothing disturbs the intensity of the stillness. Simply perfect!
For more information and/or booking you can visit Perivolas' website.

How to: Coordinate kitchen colors
How to Coordinate kitchen colors to look fresh and clean
How to Coordinate kitchen colors
Coordinate kitchen colors to bring glow and charm to the heart of your home. the color theme you pick may help to line the mood or bring a decoration theme to life in your kitchen. confiding upon the layout of your home, you will be free to use any color your like, or you might need to coordinate kitchen colors with the rest of your home to form a cushty and united area. Window treatments, wall colors, appliances and accessories may all be a part of your kitchen color theme.
Tips and Tricks to create and Coordinate kitchen colors
1.Figure out what's altering in the kitchen to coordinate kitchen colors. make a coordinated kitchen with easy and simple accessories–such as canister, dish towels and throw rugs–or go all out with new counters, freshly painted walls and cabinetry and new flooring.
2.Find your inspiration. seek for a piece you like that works in the kitchen to make your kitchen color combination scheme. look for kitchen colors in a piece of artwork or pottery, in the eloquent wood tones of your cabinetry or the stone of your countertops, or perhaps even in the bright red of your mixer or retro-style toaster.
3.Consider the area and mood you desire to make. choose balmy, richer colors to make a comfy area or lighter and brighter ones for a sunny area. Be adventurous with color, as kitchens lend themselves to brighter tones. opt for wall colors that coordinate well with the rest of your home if you have got an open architectural floor plan. Use color to bring out a kitchen theme, choosing blue and yellow for a French country look or turquoise and bright red to aim for a vintage look.
4.Visit your local home improvement center together with your inspiration (or a decent picture of your idea) in tow. Gather swatches and paint chips, wallpaper samples, and even tabletop and cabinetry color samples if you are coordinating kitchen colors throughout a full kitchen remodel. select the biggest components of your kitchen first, and pick neutral tones for your cupboards, floors and counters as these are both pricey and hard to interchange.
5.Paint and complete any renovations in your kitchen before putting in accessories to coordinate kitchen colors.
6.Add accessories to create your kitchen colors pop. think about adding plush red to a neutral beige kitchen or contemporary blue and yellow to a white one. search for potholders, dish towels, throw rugs, and curtains in the colors you have chosen for your kitchen. Invest in new utensils and a beautiful holder to feature another pop of color to your coordinated kitchen colors.

(ABC 6 News) -- When Matt Mattingly turns on his TV, or any other appliance in his home, he's tapping into the power of the sun. More specifically, he's tapping into solar power.
"I thought solar would be a great way to pre-pay some of my electrical costs," said Mattingly, a recent solar panel user.
In some instances, Mattingly actually produces more energy than he uses. It's known as "solar value."
"It's what the customers would get or would sell their solar energy to the utility for," said Curt Shellum, owner of Rochester's Solar Connection.
Minnesota made some history with solar power integration this week. The state has come up with a new formula that makes it easier for homeowners, businesses, and utility companies to take advantage of solar energy.
At the same time, the state made it more attractive for solar companies to locate here as well.
Currently, compensating customers for generating their own energy is based on a formula, known as "net metering." But now there's a new formula, created by the State of Minnesota, utility companies, the Department of Commerce, and finalized by the Utility Commission. They have termed it as the "Value of Solar" formula.
"This is the first time it's been tried on a state level," said Micah Johnson, Solar Connections Operations Manager.
The "Value of Solar" formula is intended to make solar energy an equal benefit for businesses, the utility companies themselves and homeowners like Matt Mattingly.
"I thought solar would be a great way to pre-pay some of my electrical costs."
Other states like Texas have implemented similar formulas at individual utility sites, but Minnesota is the first to offer it statewide.
This formula only applies to investor-owned, for-profit utility groups. This excludes Rochester Public Utilities and includes Xcel and Alliant energy companies.
