On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers
Pirates of the Caribbean meets Harry Potter – that pretty much sums up On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers. Set during the heyday of Caribbean piracy (the early 1700′s), the book mixes fact and fantasy. On his way from Europe to Jamaica to right a family wrong, the ship of puppeteer John Chandagnac is waylaid by pirates. Aboard the same ship are the fetching Elizabeth Hurwood and her mysterious scientist father who is set on harnessing the magical forces still active in the New World. The choices that John makes in order to try to save Elizabeth from a gruesome fate lead him unwillingly into a life of piracy and encounters with Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, Anne Bonny, and almost every other pirate active during that time.
There are plenty of plot twists, but the storytelling remains consistent. The book is engaging, but Powers' long sentences and detailed descriptions keep the book from being a page turner. Reading the book gives you the feeling of being on the rolling deck of a ship, struggling with the characters who are all trying to maintain their balance.
Summing up: A swashbuckling yarn – 4.5/5 stars.
p.s. On Stranger Tides is the basis for Pirates of the Caribbean 4 – fodder for yet another book vs. movie discussion!

Art Spotlight - Lulu, the Fae Sorceress
If theres anything weve learned over the course of the years its that great art can come in many shapes and sizes, colors and forms. With all these different creative mediums in the mix, theres really no telling where the inspiration for a champion could come from. And while were on the subject of unexpected changes, just the other day our artist Kienan Lafferty told us hed come up with a brand new look for Lulu, the Fae Sorceress and her signature polymorph ability.
Please enjoy this high speed rendition of Kienan showing us just how unpredictable Lulu can be! |

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

This article describes the steps that a tenant in a rental apartment or rental home can take to look for and test for hidden mold contamination, we discuss when such testing is appropriate, and we make suggestions on how to inform building management of a mold problem, what to expect the rental property managers to do if they are going to address a mold problem properly, and what the rental apartment tenant needs to watch out for during a mold investigation and mold remediation of their home. An easy-to-print PDF version of this article is here. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. A Guide to Possible Hidden Mold in Rental Apartments, Houses, OfficesThe mold that you *see* may not by any means be the whole problem, or even much of the problem; various species could be in building cavities and in the HVAC system. Too often we find that "black mold" on building surfaces has received attention but hard-to-see Penicillium sp. or Aspergillus sp. (for example) remain in large reservoirs on building surfaces or in insulation. Magic bullets: Also, "bleaching mold" or "fogging" or "encapsulating" mold is never a successful remedy for a moldy building. The places where mold is growing must be found, moldy material removed, exposed surfaces cleaned, and the causes of mold growth corrected. If the area of mold growth is large (more than 30 sq ft) the work needs to proceed with special procedures to avoid spreading moldy dusty debris around. Tenant-identified possible mold reservoirsThe tenant or building maintenance staff may have already identified apparent mold reservoirs or sources, and of course there could be other sources from other leaks or problems they haven't discovered: Roof leaks - can have leaked into ceilings and walls; depending on what building materials used, they could be moldy with problem molds. HVAC systems - If there is a common A/C duct system which has become mold contaminated, no amount of cleaning in your immediate apartment would be sufficient since it is possible that the whole system needs to be cleaned, or possibly some duct sections replaced, and the cause corrected. Also it is common for A/C condensate or water from a chiller system to leak; water could have leaked into your closet ceiling and walls, also creating a problem mold reservoir. Building insulation - often building insulation has become mold contaminated but looks "clean" to the naked eye. Few mold inspectors test this material, yet it is often discovered to be the principal problem mold reservoir in some building areas. Very often when I visit a site I find other leaks and mold sources that need to be addressed, so I wouldn't assume these are the full extent of what needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Question:Is it safe to have plastic flooring over a wood floor over a concrete slab foundation, regardless of anything else, or is the plastic flooring a moisture trap that would probably cause a mold buildup even without a flooded foundation for two months? Has anyone looked at this? At all? I looked at the Building Code of Canada, hoping it would helpfully say "Don't ever do this!!!!!" and it doesn't, alas. My landlord put the plastic layer down about 6-7 years ago. In the bathroom (currently gutted) there was wood over concrete, and ceramic and vinyl over the wood, and the wood had rotted in multiple locations. In the kitchen there is linoleum/vinyl over wood over concrete. The floor under the sink is rotted and the boards elsewhere are warped, but the city hasn't ordered the landlord to fix it. I have no idea what's going on under the plastic in the main area because I don't know how to have a look without causing damage. I'm looking for ammunition to get the floors in the main room/kitchen officially looked at. I can't afford to pay a consultant (on disability in Montreal) but was hoping that you could point me to something that might help. I didn't see anything on Inspectapedia but maybe don't know what to look for. If you want more details I can send you them. Thank you for all the information you do have on mold. It's been very helpful. - A.C., Montreal, 11/21/2013 Reply:I agree that this topic has not been pinned down, as I will explain in a moment. A competent onsite inspection by an expert usually finds additional clues that would permit a more accurate, complete, and authoritative answer than we can give by email alone. You will find additional depth and detail in articles at our website. That said I offer these comments: I have observed that trapped moisture within a floor structure indeed will ultimately rot the materials. All mold is everywhere all the time - it's the concentration that varies. So all we need is a few mold spores of wood rotting fungus to have been present when a floor, perhaps dry at the time, was enclosed and sealed such that later water entry from below initiates mold growth and rot. But still, I have inspected a number of floor structures built on concrete that were sealed from above and later disassembled to show no rot damage. The key variable, as you pose, is leaks and water entry. In short, if the building does not leak from above or up from below through the foundation or slab, the enclosed floor cavity, say sleepers on concrete, topped with perhaps subflooring, finish flooring, and tile or laminate or vinyl sheet flooring, survives quite well. If the same floor structure cavity is wet from any source and is not opened and dried promptly mold growth and later rot can be expected to develop. I believe that the codes are silent on this point because of the variables involved and the anticipation that good building design and proper maintenance is not supposed to tolerate water entry up through the floor of an occupied space. In other words, build and maintain your building to keep water out. That approach is probably more cost-effective and easier to specify than to try to make every single indoor component able to withstand flooding. To be clear, we could just as well say don't ever enclose a wall or ceiling, because water can get in and cause trouble. But we do enclose them. (And water does leak in and cause trouble.) Moving on to the specific case you describe, re: "The floor under the sink is rotted and the boards elsewhere are warped, but the city hasn't ordered the landlord to fix it." suggests to me that - there are building leaks that need to be corrected, and that are causing costly damage to the building - If typical building materials used such as drywall & fiberglass insulation are being wet, there is a reasonable risk of problematic mold contamination indoors too. Please take a look at the article series I've written specifically for people in your situation, beginning at RENTERS & TENANTS: MOLD ADVICE and let me know if questions remain after you've seen that material. ...

Indoors or outdoors, you can't go wrong at the Carriage House. | Photograph by Cory Dewald
1eat | High-End Southern in the MidwestCarriage House
1700 W. Division St. (773) 384-9700 carriagehousechicago.comIf there's a better place in Chicago to sit down to a high-end dinner of middle-brow Southern food, we haven't found it. The space is big, loud and high-ceilinged—anything but intimate—but it's staffed by a cast of Southern food evangelists who aren't afraid to talk over the noise. The menu splits its space between Traditional and Reimagined dishes, and there's not a letdown on either side. Come for the shrimp and grits, stay for the Lowcountry Boil, a large-format dish with shrimp, clams and rabbit sausage. And if you don't get cornbread, you're a fool.

Let us say I have three domains all show to one website. And All the three have been indexed by search engines.
Are they considered duplicate the content for search engines?
example.com, seoexample.com, designexample.com are all pointed to to the same content. Let us say all three are pointed to public_html which means all use the same content. And all are indexed by google or others. How does that affect to duplication?
I am now not sure which one to use. I have three domains. one domain is 7 month old and has not PR and does not contain any keyword with what I am going to cover. Second domain is 3 month old, has PR 2 and contains two keywords. Third domain is a root domain of my account and has registered new but contains three keywords of what I am going to cover but nor PR or indexing.
I need suggestion which one to use a base and redirect the two to that one. I want for a long term so when I build links, I do not lose time switching between three.
I know best seems the second one but not decided yet. Any help is appreciated.

I am very much a beginner when it comes to javascript and would appreciate any help that can be leant in helping me to achieve what I want.
if (screen.width < 1024)link = document.getElementsByTagName("link")[0];link.href = "size800.css";
Is there a better way to do it?
if (screen.width < 800)document.write('<'+'link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.domainname.com/css/smallscreen.css" />');
works well. It goes after the proper stylesheets in the head.
The smallscreen.css just has a few styles defined that overwrite the main ones, and I have a <noscript> section that also loads smallscreen.css, for those without javascript.
I'd be keen to hear if anyone knows how to do it better though.

Not much to tell, Just that "Wench" and I have always been open to new adventures & journeys throughout our relationship. There has been a new awaking of "Wench's" wants and sexual appetite which has opened us up to a new direction leading us to exploring her 50 shades side. Her newly found inner "goddess" as she refers to it has so far been fulfilling. As for me, I'm loving the new women in our bedroom and the roll I now play. Friend me and you may be surprised, I am just a man. I'm loving fulfilling Wench's needs and wants, even if it takes us to new places. Enjoying the ride.
Well it's about time. LOL
Have to say It is a turn on.
passionate imaginative I agree.
Love redheads, Wench is a redhead.

The Owen County Historical Society Museum is not only a repository of Owen County artifacts, but it is also a photo gallery of the people who lived, worked, and died in Owen communities. Their contributions to Owen County history vary, but their presence serve as a reminder of the importance and responsibility of each and everyone of us to create a lasting legacy.
She discovered the old picture in her mother's closet, but no one seemed to know the identity of the distinguished looking man. It was surmised that he was an Owen countian and the picture had a date of 1867 penciled on the back. Historical society member Christina Rice hung the picture in her home and every time she passed it she would ask, "Who are you?" Knowing he was related to her, Christina was determined to solve the mystery of his identity.
Though most Owen countians know someone by the name of Elizabeth or Margaret, many may not realize that at one time these were the names of two communities in the county. While examining old copies of the News-Herald, Doris Riley — a historical society member, historian, and genealogist — discovered Margaret and Elizabeth in the "Community News." Elizabeth was somewhere around Lusby's Mill, but Margaret seems to be lost somewhere in the past, her whereabouts unknown.
Spring ushers Owen countians outdoors to plow, plant, mow, dig fence posts, and paint and repair fencing and barns. Occasionally, a figure might be seen sporting a fishing pole heading for the nearest body of water. The streams, lakes, and river around Owen County offer countless opportunities for skilled fishermen and women to challenge those wily, wet, water creatures as they are lured from the water to the bank, into a skillet, and then onto a platter to hold a place of honor at the supper table.
As his lean, nimble fingers glided effortlessly along the dulcimer strings, Ron Devore coaxed a variety of melodious songs from his instrument. The soft-spoken gentleman, dressed in bibbed overalls, delighted his audience Thursday at the monthly historical society meeting. At times, the strings jumped as they danced lively to Bluegrass tunes or Appalachian clogging; then would soften to the wailful love songs of 16th-century England. In either case, there was plenty of toe-tapping, hand-clapping accompaniment from appreciative spectators.
Throughout the years, Owen countians have dealt with houses displaying leaky roofs, crumbling porches, and weather-beaten exteriors. Many family homesteads were ravaged by insects, rodents and time; yet from one generation to another, families of Owen County gathered to repair, repaint, and rejoice over the ability to rejuvenate the family home yet once again.
A few weeks ago, family and friends gathered around a historical society member, Joyce Hill Smith Hardin, to mourn the loss of her husband, Scott Hardin. Pictures of Scott were on display, and those images conveyed a celebration of a life filled with unforgettable memories.
One traditional way that Owen countians have immortalized their families is by collecting, recording, and passing down recipes to their loved ones. For most people, food and family are intimately connected, and family recipes are a way of keeping our ancestry, as well as a part of ourselves, alive. Cooking from family recipes can evoke vivid memories of childhood, reminding us of experiences long forgotten and allowing us to relive those feelings of comfort and excitement.
Since the beginning of time, women have played a vital role in the affairs of the world. March is "Women in History" month and we reminisce and celebrate the resilient fortitude and achievements of the women of Owen County.

As many of you know by now, I'm not a fan of J.J.Abrams Star Trek work. He's a fine popcorn film action director, but I really feel that he doesn't understand what made Star Trek so special to those who've discovered admired it for decades. But I'm not writing this to dump on nuTrek (it was bound to get it's own shorthand label
) but rather to point fans like-minded to myself to a great TOS Star Trek fix.
For many this may be old news, but the Vanguard series en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Tre… of Trek novels (eight books and one e-book exclusive "debrief"), which just wrapped up last year, is the best Trek fiction I've read in a long, long time. It captures the spirit of the show and has developed characters that serve the bigger plot of enigma, exploration, conflict, and cloak-and-dagger diplomacy on the Federation frontier. Feels a lot like the D.C. Fontana approach to Trek stories. The books start about the same time Kirk takes command of the Enterprise and the vast story ends somewhere after TOS' third season.
It's important to note that this story begins and ends with the Enterprise and crew as players, but the bulk of the story follows characters (both Starfleet and civilian) on a state-of-the-art starbase. Think "Deep Space Nine" if you must, but for my money the concept is handled better here and is directed in a tighter, more interesting story arc. The Enterprise's adventures come into play vicariously at several points. This serves to lend a feel that what we're reading is all the action the Enterprise missed and the writers do an excellent job of anchoring it to Trek canon while still creating something fresh. So in that sense it feels like "the missing TOS".
Over the past few decades I haven't read too many Trek novels
mostly because the one's I'd try all seemed too mired in the "Starlequin" formula that was promoted by Marshak and Culbreth back in the late 70's. That is that any SF elements are mostly just backdrops to character drama and angst. The Vanguard series flips that equation on it's head, giving us three-dimensional characters who simply try to exist in the context of the greater story of mystery and action on the final frontier.
A word of advice for those picking up the series for the first time: if you, the best place to start is the novella "Almost Tomorrow" in the Vanguard story collection, "Star Trek Vanguard: Declassified". It's a helpful prequel to the first novel
BUT DO NOT (!!!) read any other stories in this volume until you've completed the fifth book ("Precipice") or you'll hit some serious spoilers.
So to anyone who says that TOS is spent and that the only way to do interesting Trek work in this time is to follow the JJ-Formula, this novel series definitely proves that assumption wrong. It's good Trek and pretty decent SF
and it's written for a mature audience, so no one gets beamed into the plumbing system for laughs or stranded on a ice planet by a petulant Vulcan captain. Plus there's no "supervillains"
at least not anything remotely human
Good stuff. It'll cure what ails ya! And for added fun you can reference author David Mack's annotations www.davidmack.pro/harbinger_an… on the web as you go. The downside is that the print volumes can be hard to find now, but if you have an e-reader (like a Kindle) you're good to go.
Now ART! New and cool
or older and cool. But cool's the rule:

Farrel: I just read where your Great grandfather was George Felty. If your grandfather was a good friend to a Col. George W. Flemming in the Civil War, this could be a shoe in to probably help us both to further our research. From what I have already read, we are both seeking info for not too distant relatives. Your grandfather and my great grandmother should be related closely. The book you wrote sounds so interesting, is it for sale? I would love to buy a copy of your book. I have one living uncle who is a nephew to Col. George W. Flemming from the 87th PA Inf-Civil War and he too is a long time military man who fought 2 big wars WWII and the Korean war. He has George W's discharge from the civil war. As I understand George W. and George I. were the best of friends. My grandmother's mother was a Felty also and was of another ethnic background 100%. I believe you understand what I am trying to tell you. Don't want to put too much out there and have tons and tons of emails coming in.:) Let me know if any of these names click with you. They are: Bope, Flemming, Miller, Wagner and of course I have Felty also. All of them certainly lived one horrible life from what I know. Susan Felty was an aunt to my grandmother and Mary or Elizabeth Felty Bope was my great grandmother. They killed her though. God Bless those poor people back then! No one deserves to live like they did. My Uncle on the Flemming side is in his 90's and is sharp as a tack yet and I am grateful for that. He is my mother's brother. I see and hear from him quite a bit. Again, let me know if any of this info rings a bell to you. Thanks, Molly Notify Administrator about this message?

Thompson's 'Music' Box Due In February
The five-disc collection set will trace the troubadour's career as a solo artist, with seminal U.K. folk act Fairport Convention, in partnership with ex-wife Linda and in other settings.
Details are finally coming to light about "RT - The Life and Music of Richard Thompson," which has been in the works for several months. Due Feb. 7 through the U.K.-based independent Free Reed Records and Music label, the five-disc collection set will trace the troubadour's career as a solo artist, with seminal U.K. folk act Fairport Convention, in partnership with ex-wife Linda and in other settings.
Disc one, "Walking the Long Miles Home -- Muswell Hill to L.A.," boasts songs based in reality, while the second, "Finding Better Words -- The Essential Richard Thompson," was compiled via fan polls, but represents those favorites through previously unheard recordings.
"Shine in the Dark -- Epic Live Workouts," the third disc, focuses on the revered guitarist's instrumental improvisation. A fourth disc pulls together nearly 20 covers -- everything from Thompson's version of the Who's "Substitute" to the traditional "Danny Boy" -- all in a concert setting. Also featured are Thompson's contributions to covers of his songs by Norma Waterson, Dave Burland and Judith Owen.
The final disc, "Something Here Worth More Than Gold-- Real Rarities" is a must for hardcore fans, with rare demos, outtakes and live versions of songs all new to a Thompson release.
Expanding the set further is a limited edition sixth disc, "RT on FR," that will be distributed to the first 5,000 buyers who send an included voucher to Free Reed. Thirteen of the disc's 17 tracks are drawn from earlier releases by the label that concentrated on Fairport Convention or his Albion Country Band.
The balance is songs written by Thompson donated for this collection. Two are previously released -- Elvis Costello's "End of the Rainbow" from 1986's "King of America" and Grace Notes' "Withered & Died" from 1998's "Red Wine & Promises." Exclusive to this bonus disc are John Clough's "Beeswing" and Deborah Cowan's "Has He Got a Friend for Me?"
Completing the package is a 172-page book detailing Thompson's life and career, with a discography and notes on every track compiled by Nigel Schofield. An extensive interview with the artist is also included.

Quartz Countertop Problem
I need advice, feedback. Our quartz countertop was installed in the kitchen and on a bar area. I am not going to mention the brand because I don't want to give it a bad rap. It isn't the manufacturer we're upset with, it's the fabricator. We noticed a problem with the edges and mentioned it to the installer (unfortunately after they were almost done). He tried "sanding" a small area, no help.
The edge is 1 1/4". It should be totally smooth showing the appearance of a thick "slab" of quartz. It has a small "bump" in the middle as well as some other "lines" - almost making it look like 2 pieces were put together - one on top of the other.
We've been trying to get a response from the fabricator without success so far for 4 weeks.
The bar top did not fit so they reinstalled a new one today. The edge is perfectly smooth - proving there's a problem with the rest. The installer today (different from original) said that the edge on kitchen was never sanded and polished after cutting it to size at the fabricator. He obviously does not want us to tell his "boss" what he told us.
I guess our options are:
1) Have them rip it out, replace. With this option, part of backsplash would have to be torn out and reinstalled, lose of use of kitchen, would it ruin the undermount sink? stress on cabinets? - etc., etc. I don't know if they'd try to "fix" what they rip out and reinstall or totally replace with new?
2) Have them try to sand it in the house, but installer said it would be a total mess. We saw that when the did the original install and had to cut out a hole for the stove stop.
3) Financial compensation.
If we were to go with financial compensation, what would seem like a reasonable percentage. Thankfully, we haven't paid for the countertop yet.
The thought of number 1 and 2 just makes me cringe.
Literally, there is not one thing that has gone right with this rehab. It was suppose to be totally done at the end of May. So my tolerance is getting very challenged.
I appreciate your thoughts.
In your shoes, I would take pictures. Shots taken from acute angles show the most.
What would seem like a reasonable percentage: the description is too vague when you say "...should be totally smooth showing the appearance of a thick "slab" of quartz. It has a small "bump" in the middle as well as some other "lines" - almost making it look like 2 pieces were put together - one on top of the other ...." .
You are the first person to state you haven't paid for the countertop yet. Congratulations.
POST pics showing what YOU see....
It sounds like "Larry, Moe & Curly" get around !!!! LOL (sorry)
Not trying to be "self promoting" here - But............ seriously - It sounds like the first installer had not done too many ES jobs before yours - YOU CANT SURFACE POLISH ES WITH REGUAR STONE PADS!!!!
IF your material is 1/4" thick - it sounds like you have 3CM stock, but your description sounds more like it's 2CM that's laminated - PICS WILL CONFIRM THIS
Take shots from different angles to show the polish on the main tops (so you don't have a lot of flash glare in the pics). Take close ups and shots from a ways back showing the overall assembly.....
I'll be watching for your pics
I tried to get the best pictures I could. I first 2 are of the "problem".
New Bar Countertop:
This is NOT a mitered edge = it looks more like 3CM "Eased" Edge.....
It appears from your pics that you have 3CM material.
The first two pics show your edge that has been processed on a CNC machine or vertical axis rotational diamond head polishing machine (which leaves the horizontal "striations" that you see in the first two pics - and IMHO - I'll say it looks like they went up to... position 2 (which is in the range of 100 to 120 grit) nothing else was done on to polish the edge (I usually go up to a minimum of 3000 grit, but this will vary from stone to stone - usually never below 1500 grit)
My professional opinion is that the shop that did your fab has a CNC Machine, and they (like many others around the world) go up to position 2, then take the pieces OFF the CNC and finish the edge polish by hand (hence the absence of any finer striations on the other pieces that you are showing that are polished in your other two pics) They took the piece off the CNC in order to polish the edges the rest of the way, but somehow spaced out and shipped your first pieces without finishing them. Hey, it happens - guys screw up - I do, You do - Everybody does sometime, so give them the opportunity to make the situation right...............
The edges that are not polished are UNSAT - HOWEVER - This CAN be Remedied, but the tops that have the crappy edges will need to be PULLED OUT OF YOUR HOME and finished AWAY from your WOOD FLOORS - IF they try to finish this in your kitchen you will get:
THE BEST WAY to finish this IMHO - is WET PROCESS...
Sorry for not having better news for ya, but your guy should have had better QC practices to insure that this did not happen... maybe he was having a bad day, but your unfinished edges should not be lasting a memorial to his oversight...... I'm sure he didnt get up the morning he did your fab, and said "Hmmmmmm How can I screw up this job today?"
BOTTOM LINE : Your situation IS FIXABLE - B U T - The tops need to be pulled out of your kitchen in order to properly polish your edges the way that they should be -
IF your guy tries to do your edges WET and IN PLACE - you'll run the risk of getting water on your wood floors - which will destroy them..... :-( I personally would not want to subk=ject myself to the risk of having to buy you a new floor in your kitchen...
Wow Kevin. Thank you for your professional opinion. It helps considerably.
Now it's just the emotional side of the total inconvenience of having them taken out - again, no use of kitchen - as well as needing to redo the backsplash, possibly destroy the sink, cabinets.
So here is another question I would appreciate feedback on. Do I pay them the original cost or is there a discount for their error, even though at the end it turns out okay.
The fabricator is a large company that also has their hands in lots of other things. Our design company ordered through them.
Klake -
Thanks for your kind words - it means a lot !!!
As far as payng and discounts go:
I'd Pay then the original contract amount when they complete the work to your satisfaction - UNLESS you have any clauses in the contract that specifically address deducting a discount or credit if they screw up like this ( I really doubt that there is any language in your contract that makes a provision for this - but there could be.. check your contract docs....)
If they want to offer you a discount (since you may do repeat business with them), let them bring it up - otherwise - pay them the contract balance when they complete all of the work to your satisfaction.. If YOU incurr additional expenses as a result of this problem - that's another thing entirely, and IMHO you should be compensated as such..
Another way to answer your "discount" question would be this way - how would YOU like to lose pretty much all of your profit on a job like this because of the re-do, and THEN YOUR CUSTOMER wants an additional "discount" - after you are probably going to be upside down on the job anyways????
There's "fair" and then there's down right "unreasonable" - asking the guy for additional money off because of the screw up is something that WalMart & Home Depot have now instilled in our culture - but is it fair to the guy who's just trying to complete your project? Not in my book
Put yourself in HIS SHOES before you ask for additional money off because of the "inconvenience" to you......... Regardless of whether your Fabricator is large or not - fair is fair (I guess I am biased towards the contractor) - since these days - EVERYBODY wants Somethin for Nuthin.... (not saying that's you, but it gets REALLY OLD after a while = know what I mean?)
Bottom line - let him fix the project, and if you are satisfied = pay him his balance and get on with life in general - it's an honest mistake - just keep everything in perspective
Removal will be entirely dependent upon how the tops were initially installed....In Klate's situation, it appears that 3CM thick material was used.
If this indeed the case, the following assumptions could possibly apply:
There are a lot of "IF" 's that go into answering your question -
IF the tops were set directly on top of the cabinet boxes, the adhesive used MAY HAVE BEEN applied around the outside perimeter of the cabinets. IF this is the case, all that is needed to loosen up the tops, is to cut the bead of caulk (IF that was used - this is oretty easy to do)
HOWEVER = "IF" adhesive was used on the inside stiles of the cabinets - removal will be more difficult.
Depending on how the sink is attached and / or supported - the sink may come out with no problems - maybe not.... this is part of the "risk" in doing a removal/repair/replacement opp.....
The GOOD thing that you have in this scenario, is that the stone is ES = and it is harder to break in this application than say... natural stone. ES is WAY STRONG and will flex more before it cracks = than Granite.... so it will be less risky ON THE PIECE of stone that's gettin yanked out - because the ES WILL flex more than Granite
Each situation is different - IF the installers used silicone or epoxy to "set" the tops = all bets are off, but..... if they used clear accrylic caulk around the outside perimeter of each top (as many guys do in 3CM opps = inital removal of the piece/pieces will be pretty easy and low risk (speaking for myself that is)
Without actually "being there" and seeing first hand what allis going on - I can only speculate so far.......
Does this make sense????
Thanks, AZ, that helps alot. It makes me think that when we get our top set, we'll be paying attention to how it goes on with an eye towards keeping our future options open-no epoxy on the inside stiles (those tops are so heavy, epoxy on stiles seems like overkill anyway). The idea of people ruining their new, possibly custom, cabinets because their fireclay sink has a crack or whatever gives me the creeps. And how about when a new buyer comes in and can't stand the surface and/or sink that the previous owner love-love-loved? Who knew 6 months ago that there were so many details to master and consider?!
IMHO - Fireclay sinks have ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE IN A KITCHEN - but that's just me - after fooling around with one about 10 years ago that cracked just HANDLING IT - one of my guys picked it up to check the fit with the undermount opening he was working on, and the dumb thing just cracked !!!!!
(and he KNEW how to handle sinks too - one of my BEST GUYS of ALL TIME too!!!)
I agree that it is good to pay full price after they fix this.
My guess is you will receive the suggestion that they will repair it on site and hire some minimum wage guys to catch the spraying water. Extra plastic sheet, tarps, many absorbent layers on the floor, and plastic on the floor too, and so on. They can alternate between wet and dry processes. Etc.
Okay all you experts. I need you again :). The fabricator states that the "CNC cutter gets worn and striations show more on quartz and our color". He wants to come into the house and dry sand and polish. He acknowledges that it will be a mess and "will try to clean up best we can". Says the dust can take a couple of days to settle.
He stated "we are not removing the countertops with your backsplash, seam, etc."
I don't even know how to react. My kitchen, diningroom, familyroom are all one big room - so this doesn't just involve a kitchen. The thought of the mess, particularly since 99% of my rehab is complete, my new hardwood, cabinets installed, new appliances, walls painted, new furniture delivered, pictures hung, tv hung - all of which are going to be a mess :(. AND, I don't know to trust them enough to have them "attempt" this fix.
What is the potential of the edges being "wavy" because they are going to use a 3 inch sander? How are they going to keep the edges square and perpendicual to the top with a little 3 inch sander? Guy says "kind of looks like a die grinder". My husband said "palm sander"? and guy said "yeah - something like that". How are they going to get the countertop next to a wall or the wood side panel of my refrigerator? It's also very close to my cabinets.
Do I need to hire someone to come out and give a 2nd opinion? Where would I go for that?
Klake -
in my opinion - what your fabricator said :
that the "CNC cutter gets worn and striations show more on quartz and our color" and "will try to clean up best we can". Says the dust can take a couple of days to settle....." is total BS - if the CNC cutter gets worn - why then is the other side of the kitchen (the pieces installed that DO have the polish) look better?
And as far as DUST goes - what he's really saying in the "will try to clean up best we can" line is REALLY meaning - there's going to be a huge dust mess (because WE screwed up) but never mind that it will permeate EVERYTHING near the kitchen - LIVE WITH IT...???
Besides.. when a CNC is used, the machine "cycles" up through a series of six to seven different grits in order to rough shape, sand, hone and THEN polish. The grits start around 36 to 50, and go to 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500 and finally 3000 grit. (the lower the grit number - the coarser the grit, the higher the grit number - the finer the grit. 3000 grit is used to polish glass - to put this into perspective) Guys will either "run the grits" or only do the first two or three (50.100 &200) - THEN, they'll take the piece off the CNC and finish the rest of the grits (400, 800, 1500 & 3000) using 4" or 5" polishers WET - by hand. THIS helps to ELIMINATE the horizontal striations that you see on the rough pieces in your kitchen, but not so much (if at all) on the polished pieces in your kitchen. Does this make sense?
If I were you - this is what I'd do:
1. get a copy of his business insurance policy. This is the policy that will cover your claim AFTER he's done - for cleaning up all of the dust and the mess and any other collateral damage that he will create trying to fix this in place. Make sure that it is current, and if you can - see what it covers and excludes in terms of liquidated damages caused by the contractor.
2. get a second opinion (or you can use mine posted above - I do this for a living on top of Fabrication here in Arizona) and then a third and fourth. if you live in California, Arizona or Florida there is a Registrar of Contractors that can help mediate things between you an your fabricator
3. insist that the tops in question be removed, completed and re-installed to your satisfaction - or have them start over - either way - I would NOT be paying another dime towards completion until this is resolved !!!
Ask your fabricator how he intends to keep from burning the edges when he does what he's proposing - polishing dry with no water. ALL ES polishes differently that Natural Stone. ES is made up of epoxy resin and quartz particulate and resembles terrazzo. The epoxy resin that surrounds each particle of quartz polishes at a lower speed and the resin can melt and burn REALLY EASY (hence the burning potential) Anyone who's worked with ES knows this too - that you also have to use A LOT OF WATER when polishing so you can keep the resins in the material cool and get a good polish quality......
IMHO - ES ia a harder product to polish, and takes considerable practice if a guy has never worked with t before, or just hasn't done much of it.
The bottom line for your situation is just getting the damn thing done to your satisfaction - and with as little mess and damage as possible. YOU do not have to accept his plan for remedy. HE wants you to because it;s easier for him, and you can deal with the mess (is my suspicion).......
Take what I've written above and previous posts on this thread as my advice to you. I would not polish the edges in question in place and dry if I had another - safer way for the work to be completed to your satisfaction.......
Kevin - once again, I can't thank you enough for your expertise. I have passed on your information to the Contractor we are using who determined the product and fabricator/distributor for our countertop. Forgetting pure inconvenience, needing to cancel out of town company, etc., both options (removal or in-house) come with real probabilities of damage. For removal, there's the backsplash, sink, refrigerator panel, plumbing, etc. For in-house, it's the floor, cabinets, appliances - not to speak of general nightmare mess. We have been put into a no-win situation here. I'll keep you updated.
Okay - so here's the end result. After talking to the fabricator/installer, we made the INCORRECT decision to let them try to repair the countertops in the house vs. removal. (Sorry Kevin). Our decision was based on their assurance that they would be able to minimize dust/water/mess - it would solve the problem and removal would not be a feasible option based on needing to remove repair backsplash, sink, etc., etc. They LIED. It was an absolute mess. They were totally not prepared to cover all of our floors, furniture, pictures, lights, etc. We ended up covering things with every sheet, towel, rag we had in the house. What we did cover, didn't work. The aftermath mess once we revealed everything was incredible. Water sprays mixed with quartz dust was all the way up to the crown molding, on and in cabinets, appliances. Water on hardwood floors caused them to buckle (they did lay down after a couple days of drying). The dust was on every dish, glass, covering everything within 25 feet. To top it off, although the countertops no longer have the original problem, it now has it's own set of problems with being wavy (they did it with a 3 inch hand saw), variations of shine and scratches. The explanation is that they did the best they could "in-house" - without machines.
Bottom line - Would removing them have been better? I honestly don't know. The damage and need of repair of all it involved would have been significant. That being said, the end result of what we have is disappointing, to say the least.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - ALLOW THIS TYPE OF WORK IN YOUR HOME. The other lesson I've learned from this as well as other events with our rehab - as much as I hate conflict and I've tried to let people do their thing and not get in the way questioning, inspecting materials, etc., that ends now. Had I asked questions, inspected everything before install a lot of my problems wouldn't have happened. I will make sure that inferior products and workmanship not be accepted long before it's too late.
I have not paid for this countertop yet and am very conflicted about how I'm going to handle this. I will not permit them in my home again. I can not permit more action be taken causing more damage, time, inconvenience in my home. This project was due to be completed by the end of May.
OMG, Klake, this sounds like a nightmare. Start to finish. I have no expertise to offer, but wanted at least to chime in with support - and gratitude that you are doing what you can do for others to learn from your experience. I hope you get resolution on this that meets your satisfaction somehow.

Miniature LDO From Diodes Incorporated Features Low Noise, Small Footprint And Accuracy Advantages
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq:DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, today introduced the AP7340 low-dropout regulator. With a high PSRR of 75dB at 1kHz and a low-noise performance of 60µVrms over the 10Hz to 100kHz range, the AP7340 ensures a high-quality supply for analog circuits in noise-sensitive audio, video and RF applications. With its 1.0mm x 1.0mm DFN1010-4 package, the AP7340 suits the highest density portable product designs.
This miniature, low-noise LDO produces a 150mA output current for a wide input voltage range, starting from as low as 1.7V and extending up to a maximum of 5.25V. It comprises a voltage reference, error amplifier, current limit and an enable input for output on/off control. Its integrated resistor network produces fixed output voltages in 0.1V steps between 1.2V and 3.3V.
The AP7340's output voltage accuracy is higher than other industry solutions, with an accuracy of ±1.5% over the entire operating temperature range of -40˚C to +85˚C. This low-power LDO offers a typical quiescent current of just 35µA, helping to reduce product power consumption. For further information, visit the Company's website at www.diodes.com.

Buster Posey
San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey was born on March 27, 1987 in Leesburg, Georgia. He played college baseball at Florida State University. Coming out of high school, Posey was drafted in the 50th round of the 2005 Draft but chose to attend college. He attended Lee County High School in Leesburg where he was named the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year, the Louisville Slugger State Player of the Year, an EA Sports All-American, and Baseball America All-American. He graduated high school fourth in his class of 302 students with a 3.94 GPA.
In 2005, Posey joined the Seminoles and played shortstop as a freshman. As a true freshman, Buster played in all 65 games. That year, he was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American with a batting average of .346 and 48 RBIs. The next year he moved to catcher and finished second in the Johnny Bench Award voting while batting a .382. During his junior year, Buster had a tremendous season as he hit .463 with 26 home runs and 93 RBIs. He went on to win the Johnny Bench Award that year as well as garnering the Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year award.
Posey, considered one of the best catchers in the 2008 Draft, was selected fifth overall by the San Francisco Giants. He was called up to the majors in May of 2010 and was named National League Rookie of the Year. To add to his success, Posey went on to win his first World Series in 2010 in which he caught every inning. After returning from an injury that occurred in 2011, he had a very special year during the 2012 season. Posey went on to win multiple awards such as the NL MVP, NL Hank Aaron Award, Silver Slugger Award, NL Comeback Player of the Year, Willie Mac Award and NL Batting Champion. He ended that spectacular season by winning his second World Series.

Map: Burglary
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Scottsdale police said a homeowner caught a burglar in the act and detained him until officers arrived.
Richard Woodson, 29, faces burglary and theft charges.
According to the Scottsdale Police Department, Woodson entered the fenced rear patio and storage room of the victim's home near Indian School Road and 81st Street at about 5 a.m. Tuesday.
The 48-year-old homeowner saw the suspect and confronted him. The suspect began to leave but was detained by the homeowner.

Wall Street may get the headlines, but did you know that of the 27 million businesses in the U.S., less than 1 percent are publicly traded on the major exchanges? The rest are privately held, and these private companies represent a vital segment of the U.S. economy. Here are four reasons to learn more about private companies. [More]

Exposure to credit risk continues to be a focus of regulators and financial institutions years after the financial crisis, but traditional methods of predicting default may have drawbacks. Institutions that use "homegrown" scoring methods or proprietary scoring models should be cognizant of problems related to the reliability and consistency of data that is used to create the model and perform the analysis on a specific borrower.

Due to the limited data available about their performance, private companies are rarely the focus of national news. But private companies will be highlighted at an upcoming, New York City event.On April 30th, members of the media, business executives and other financial professionals will gather for the Private Company Outlook event to hear the latest information on the current health of U.S. privately held companies. Private companies, which create over 65% of new jobs and more than 50% of GDP, are the driving force of the U.S. economy. [More]
Sep 26, 2012 12:48
When the Census Bureau releases the August report on durable goods manufacturing Thursday, it's a fair bet that privately held companies will have played a key role in the numbers. After all, private U.S. firms account for 54.5 percent of aggregate non-residential fixed investment. But how are privately held companies faring in general in the current environment? [More]

Widespread drought conditions have been providing cattle producers more incentives to thin their herds on top of last year's record liquidation, a trend Sageworks recently noted in a financial update on privately held cattle ranching and farming businesses. [More]
Sep 06, 2012 08:34
Private companies' profitability has lagged that of public companies in the S&P 500 through the recession and recovery, according to recent data from Sageworks. But private companies took a less drastic hit to sales, on a percentage basis, and saw less compression and less volatility in their net profit margins during that time period. [More]
Aug 07, 2012 10:53
Friday's jobs report for July was neither decidedly sunny nor gloomy, even though stocks on Wall Street rallied to three-month highs. U.S. employers added a net 163,000 jobs in July, topping forecasts, but the unemployment rate and the number of total unemployed were essentially flat to June levels, indicating hiring is still experiencing its own version of the "Dog Days" of summer. "Even though the number of jobs added was more than expected, the unemployment rate at 8.3 percent is still too high," said Sageworks CEO Brian Hamilton. [More]
Jul 09, 2012 14:10
June unemployment in the U.S. was flat, and nearly a third of jobs added were in the temporary-help services industry, a field that has shown strong growth over the last 12 months, according to data from Sageworks Inc. "During the last 12 months, privately held employment service firms have seen their revenues grow by almost 20 percent annually, which far outpaces the average annual growth of around 10 percent for private companies across all industries," said Sageworks analyst Libby Bierman. "That sales growth validates what the employment numbers released this morning showed—the economy has recently been adding a lot of temporary jobs, which are positions that employment service firms routinely fill." [More]
Jul 03, 2012 10:41
Thursday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling is reviving impassioned discussions about whether President Obama's health care law will be positive or negative for businesses, especially smaller ones. And while those debates will continue for months or maybe years, one immediate, positive impact on owners of privately held businesses is that they know more about what to expect in the short term, said Brian Hamilton, co-founder and CEO of Sageworks Inc. [More]
Jun 29, 2012 14:20
President Obama's statement earlier this month that the private sector "is doing fine" prompted a wave of criticism, and there are certainly signs that economic confidence among consumers and businesses has weakened recently. But a new real-time measure of key financial metrics for privately held companies in the U.S. shows sales and profitability trends remain solid, even if hiring continues to disappoint. [More]

Comp Pick
Not sure if anybody has mentioned this but im pretty sure we should receive a comp pick for the one and only William Gay. Here are his stats with Arizona this year:
13/14 games started 51 Tackles 1 Sack 2 INT 2FF Not sure how they figure it out but im hoping its like a 4th rounder |
Re: Comp Pick
forgot all about this ... nice find
Re: Comp Pick
I'm not sure how they determine what round the pick is in but I'm pretty sure it's based on playing time and stats. Gay hasn't exactly tore it up this year but he's put up respectable stats so I'm hoping for a fourth rounder
Re: Comp Pick
We will not get a comp pick for Gay because for Starks.When we released his fat ass he became a unrestricted free agent.Even though we signed him later I think week 2 of the season.I believe the two will wash each others out.
Re: Comp Pick
I was reading how teams like Baltimore and others would lose like 9 people, only sign like 3 ... then use draft picks to trade up or trade for other players, because they knew they were going to be getting a certain amount of comp picks, and an idea where they would be at, so they were comfortable trading away draft picks knowing they would get them back...
Colbert needs to smarten up and work the system |

"How can the CM visit the district when he opposes the formation of Telangana?"
Andhra Pradesh Congress MP from Karimnagar Ponnam Prabhakar caused quite a stir in political circles by holding out a dire threat to Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy saying that he would "finish him" when he visits Karimnagar to participate in the inauguration of Sripada Yellampalli project in Ramagundam mandal. Reacting to a question at a press conference here on Thursday, Mr. Ponnam gestured with his hands to indicate that he would shoot the helicopter in which the Chief Minister would arrive at Karimnagar. "How can he visit the district when he is opposing the formation of separate Telangana state?" he asked.
Accusing the Chief Minister of being responsible for various irregularities in the past few months, the Congress MP demanded an inquiry into the decisions taken by the Chief Minister's office after the Congress Working Committee made the announcement on Telangana on July 30.
Sangareddy Staff Reporter writes:
Government Whip T. Jayaprakash Reddy, referring to the MP's remarks, said people did not want leaders like Mr. Prabhakar. He said they wanted a separate State and development, but not any sort of destruction.

The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino comes across as tightly wound and inward at this stage. With time in the glass the wine's inner perfume gradually comes to life, even if this remains a reticent Brunello within the context of the vintage. Still, it is impossible not to admire the inner sweetness of the fruit and the impeccable polish of the tannins. All this needs is time, maybe a little more than usual in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026. This is another solid set of wines from Canalicchio di Sopra - Ripaccioli, an estate that continues to ratchet up quality in a meaningful way. (5/ 2011)
Good medium red. Bright, tight nose hints at minerals. Less purely about fruit and less high-pitched than the Franco Pacenti Canalicchio, but this very complex wine boasts musky soil tones and captivating minerality. Substantial dusty tannins call for some time in the cellar. (8/ 2011)
Ripe and juicy, sporting cherry, raspberry, rose and spice aromas and flavors, all playing out on the elegant frame. This is a delicate style, favoring finesse over power. Still, there are tannins underneath that need time to integrate. Mineral finish. Best from 2013 through 2025. (7/ 2011)
This is a nicely balanced wine with bright cherry and berry flavors that are offset by sweet spice, almond and toasted oak. The wood elements already show integration and will continue to diminish with time. Give this wine five or so more years of cellar aging. (4/ 2011)
Truffles, blackberries and blueberries on the nose. Full body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Much better in 2013. (1/ 2011)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.
