MNF Chaser: Eagles-Saints
Philly's talent advantage, New Orleans' weak defense make Eagles a good bet
The Philadelphia Eagles take on the New Orleans Saints on "Monday Night Football" in a game that both teams need to win to keep their hope for the playoffs alive in disappointing seasons.
For the 2-5 Saints, it's pretty simple: The defense has been downright awful. They can't stop the run (27th in DVOA, according to Football Outsiders) and they can't stop the pass (last in DVOA). They aren't getting any pressure on opposing quarterbacks, with just 12 sacks on the season. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo isn't blitzing as often this season, as Pro Football Focus notes, bringing pressure just 28 percent of the time compared with 52 percent under Gregg Williams in 2011.
For the 3-4 Eagles, the story is a little more complicated. Michael Vick has been an average quarterback, and a turnover machine, while a defense with big names has yet to play at an elite level. Defensive coordinator Juan Castillo was fired after a Week 6 loss to Detroit, but all that did last week was ensure someone else would be overseeing a mediocre Philadelphia defense. The Eagles lost 30-17 to an Atlanta Falcons team that scored on its first six possessions.
If coach Andy Reid wants to quiet the calls for his job and have a chance to save this season, he should run LeSean McCoy more than usual to take the ball out of Vick's hands, quiet the crowd and keep Drew Brees off the field.
The Eagles are an NFL-worst 1-5-1 against the spread this season (1-0 as an underdog), not covering by an average of 7.8 points. The Saints are 3-4 ATS (2-3 as a favorite) and haven't covered the spread by an average of 5.3 points. According to Insider's NFL PickCenter, 53 percent of the public is backing the Saints as of Monday afternoon.
Let's get analysis on the line and total, along with an ATS pick on the game, from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hotel and Geoff Kulesa of Wunderdog Sports.

Lawrence expected to leave Stoke
Liam Lawrence is expected to leave Stoke City in the summer, although he has dismissed reports claiming that he has handed in a transfer request.He said quotes he gave to an Irish reporter about a possible move to Wolves were taken out of context. "I explained to him that the manager [Tony Pulis] said if I wanted to leave for football reasons, he would help me out," the winger told BBC Radio Stoke. "Suddenly I'm putting transfer requests in and that's not the case." Lawrence, who made just.... read more

Wrigley Field, Chicago, Illinois
W: M. Guerrier (3-4)
L: B. Morris (4-3)
CHICAGO -- Dioner Navarro welcomes the chance to come off the bench to hit in a big spot late in the game.
The veteran catcher delivered a pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the 11th inning to give the Chicago Cubs a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
"Ninety percent of the time when you pinch-hit in key situations, I don't want to sound cocky, but I kind of like to be in that situation," Navarro said. "It's the best against me and I love the challenge every time I get the opportunity."
More On The Cubs
Can't get enough Cubs information? ESPNChicago.com has all the latest from the North Side. Blog
Navarro is 6 for 14 as a pinch hitter this season with two home runs and four RBIs.
"Navarro has been doing it all year, constantly off the bench and getting the job done," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's a nice asset to have. Our bench has done a good job all year."
Anthony Rizzo sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single. He advanced on Alfonso Soriano's single and went to third when Pirates catcher Russell Martin threw the ball into center field while trying to pick Rizzo off second.
Luis Valbuena was walked intentionally before Navarro's fly ball to right off Bryan Morris (4-3) gave the Cubs their seventh win in the last 11 games.
"We know we have a better team than the record shows," Cubs starter Carlos Villanueva said. "We've lost some heartbreaking close games. You take back at least half of those games and we're in a better position. Right now, I think it's important for us to keep playing well into the All-Star break and have a strong second half."
Matt Guerrier (3-4) pitched two scoreless innings for his first win with Chicago. He was acquired in the trade that sent Carlos Marmol to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
The Cubs had a 3-2 lead and the Pirates were down to their last strike in the ninth when Starling Marte drove a 3-2 pitch from closer Kevin Gregg over the wall in center for his ninth homer.
It was Gregg's second blown save in 17 opportunities. He began the inning with consecutive strikeouts against Jordy Mercer and pinch hitter Travis Snider.
"We were one strike away there," Gregg said. "I made some good pitches in to (Marte), made him conscious of the ball in. I felt like I made a pretty good pitch away from him and he did a good job of hitting and going to get it."
Chicago (38-48) improved to 20-18 since it got off to a lackluster start. It has won five of its last seven series.
"To win two out of three, it was nice beating the best team in baseball," Sveum said.
Pittsburgh (53-34) has dropped three of four to fall into a tie with St. Louis for the NL Central lead and the best record in the majors.
"What hurt us earlier was the fourth and sixth innings with a runner at third and we weren't able to score them," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "But we continued to play hard, we continued to battle. We get to the ninth inning with two outs and two strike and Marte rides a ball out of the ballpark. These games just battle-test you."
The Cubs grabbed a 3-2 lead when Scott Hairston connected for a pinch-hit solo homer against Tony Watson in the eighth inning. It was Hairston's eighth homer.
"I was happy to contribute today and it was nice getting the win," Hairston said. "Navarro came off the bench after waiting four hours, came up huge for us, and throughout the year we're going to remember this and build on it. To win two out of three against a team like Pittsburgh, you have to feel good about that."
Pirates right-hander A.J. Burnett came off the 15-day disabled list after being sidelined by a strained right calf and pitched five solid innings. He allowed two runs, one earned, and three hits.
Villanueva (2-4) lasted just four innings, by design. He was making his first start since Scott Feldman was traded to Baltimore, opening a spot in the rotation, and Sveum said before the game he likely would keep Villanueva to a 75-pitch count.
Villanueva allowed one run and three hits while throwing 69 pitches. He struck out five and walked one.
"Winning the series against these guys, they're in first place, and the last couple of series we've won, so I think that definitely cures a lot of aches and pains and everybody is happy," Villanueva said.
Villanueva also helped himself in the third with a broken-bat leadoff single. He moved to third on Starlin Castro's one-out double and scored on an error by first baseman Garrett Jones. Soriano's sacrifice fly drove in Castro, who moved to third on Jones' error.
Burnett returned the favor in the fifth. He led off with a single and was erased on a fielder's choice by Marte. But Jose Tabata followed with a double to deep left that tied it at 2.
Tabata also doubled and scored on Andrew McCutchen's double in the fourth.
Game notes
Cubs OF Brian Bogusevic, who was called up from Triple-A Iowa on June 25, remains day to day with hamstring tightness. He hit for Villanueva in the fourth and struck out. ... The Cubs make up a rainout with the crosstown White Sox on Monday at U.S. Cellular Field. Cubs RHP Matt Garza (4-1, 3.45 ERA) faces White Sox LHP Hector Santiago (3-5, 3.50 ERA). ... The Cubs wrap up this season's interleague slate with a two-game series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday and Wednesday. ... RHP Ryan Reid was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis to make room for Burnett. ... The Pirates start a six-game homestand Monday that includes three-game series vs. Oakland and the Mets. Monday's game features a pair of All-Star pitcher, with Jeff Locke (8-1, 2.12 ERA) facing the A's Bartolo Colon (11-3, 2.78 ERA).

You can build a small greenhouse in an afternoon!
Cam is trying to extend his growing season with DIY greenhouse structures.
Before space beneath your grow light is needed for onions and other early seedlings, fill it with ba...
When getting a top bar hive ready for winter, you need to know how much honey there is...and measure...
Getting the most from your solar greenhouse. In winter, every inch of growing space is precious.
Remember how much you longed for your first bicycle—or car? That's how much I wanted a solar greenhouse! Many a winter I raised seedlings under fluorescent lights, always wishing the abundant sunlight of our south-facing land could reach my starts.
Well, dreaming, planning, and saving finally led to building. And now there is a modest solar greenhouse attached to our small Pennsylvania home. But, as always happens when I get something I've longed for, the realized dream brought with it a challenge: learning to use my greenhouse well. So, over the past few years, I've studied, experimented, and observed carefully, and—even though I still consider myself a beginning solar gardener—I've learned a lot I'd like to share.
Solar greenhouses can be much more than a place to start spring seedlings. Mine provides such delights as crisp cucumbers in December, green chard in January, and succulent Chinese cabbage in February. It also
• protects tender herbs and geraniums over winter, • dries mint and such in summer, • cures harvested onions and garlic, • yields a fall harvest of potted peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, and such, and • easily roots cuttings of grapes, geraniums, and herbs (I use the loose, moist soil of my large growing bed for this).
Whatever design you choose for your greenhouse, I heartily recommend that it include a large growing bed. The soil will serve as an excellent, moisture-retaining plant home and will provide mass for absorbing and holding the sun's warmth.
When we built our greenhouse, we left the growing bed's foundation open for drainage. We shoveled 3 inch of gravel into the bed, and we topped that with a layer of 4 inch-thick "books" peeled from bales of spoiled hay. Next came 4 inches of decomposing wood chips, 4 inches of compost, and 8 inches of loose garden soil mixed with several large bagfuls of vermiculite and commercial potting soil.
Each year we add another 2 inch to 3 inch layer of compost and about three quarts of wood ashes to the bed. We dig in clean, fine-textured kitchen scraps such as coffee and tea grounds . . . and toss in a few earthworms from time to time to help digest the scraps, aerate the bed, and add rich castings.
While the design of a greenhouse sets the limits upon its potential efficiency, you can juggle four other factors to maximize output: light, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration.
Most vegetables need at least eight hours of light a day to thrive. Light-starved plants will show one or more of the following symptoms: elongated, frail stems; sparse leaves; slow growth; excess leaning toward the light.
To raise light levels, first check outside to be sure no trees, woodpiles, or leaning snow shovels shade the greenhouse. Next, paint all interior walls and shelves white. (Use exterior-grade paint to withstand the high humidity.) If you use heat-storing barrels that face the sun on one side and plants on the other, slap some reflective white paint on the sides toward the plants (but make the sunny sides heat-absorbing black).
Shane Smith, whose The Bountiful Solar Greenhouse has been one of my most helpful guides, suggests that when light levels are low, it's important to keep the greenhouse as warm as you can and to avoid overcrowding the plants.
Many people, when raising the kind of cool-weather crops best suited to winter greenhouse gardening, find that overheating causes more problems than cold temperatures (unless some dummy forgets, as I once did, to latch the door; that was the end of my tomato plants!). Greenhouse temperatures can hit the 90s when sunlight is intense. A little overheating won't hurt most crops, but more than four to six hours of sweltering can make cool-weather crops like Chinese cabbage tough and bitter.
To moderate swings from cool to hot, add more thermal mass: another water-filled barrel, a brick retaining wall, or some water-filled shelf jugs. You can also vent your structure whenever it gets too warm.
Of course, don't let your greenhouse get too cold, either. But remember that soil temperature is more critical than air temperature. (Use a soil thermometer—filled with alcohol, not mercury, in case of breakage—to monitor your bed's temperature.) Chilly night air doesn't seem to hurt plants—as long as they don't freeze. But roots have trouble absorbing water and nutrients when the soil temperature drops below 45 degrees. That's another advantage of a deep bed: It holds warmth better than do shallow beds or pots. Watering with warm water can also help raise soil temperature.
Plants grow best in moderately moist air—45 to 60% relative humidity. Most do fine at 7%, too. But molds and diseases thrive as humidity rises toward 90%, and will slow, often stop, plant growth.
So don't overwater (a common mistake). Most plants grow slowly in winter and need only weekly waterings. Here again, a humus-filled deep bed will serve you well: It holds moisture and doles it out gradually.
If you do have humidity troubles, open a greenhouse-to-house vent so the excess moisture can escape into the drier house air.
Light, temperature, and humidity problems are easy to spot, and you can measure levels with common instruments. You won't, however, find a CO2 meter at your local hardware store; indeed, you're not likely to even notice specific symptoms of a carbon dioxide shortage. It's safe to assume that just about any tightly closed greenhouse will be short on CO2.
And that deficiency will slash output, because CO2 is a plant's only source of the element carbon, which makes up half of its dry weight. CO2 is essential to photosynthesis, the process by which plants make new tissue. In winter, an abundance of CO2 can actually keep plants growing when they get less than ideal doses of light.
Unfortunately, plants in a well-sealed greenhouse may use up all the available carbon dioxide by early morning! (According to researchers, a thin layer of CO2 -deficient air hovers around the vegetation in an unvented greenhouse.) To get more CO2 to your plants, vent the greenhouse to break up stale air pockets and to let in a fresh supply of CO2.
If the weather's too cold for continuous venting, build a fresh compost pile under a bench. It will eventually give off between one-third and one-half of its dry weight in CO2. You might also run a fan.
Greenhouse space is precious, so we cram as much as we can into our growing bed. For instance, in late winter (see the greenhouse diagram in the image gallery), it yields radishes, parsley (or green onion tops), Bibb lettuce, Chinese cabbage (spoon and mizuna), and Swiss chard. Flowering tomato plants and eager new cucumber vines promise May salad treats. Along the damp edges of the bed, geranium, grapevine, forsythia, pussy willow, and herb cuttings supply gift plants for visiting friends. And a row of calendulas adds color.
Before long, plants carpet the room. There I stand, juggling a flat of tomato seedlings in one hand and a pot of petunias in the other, wondering where to put them. That's when I appreciate the area above the growing bed, the high back shelves, even the windowsills. A determined gardener makes creative use of every cranny.
Take that petunia—or New Zealand spinach, or sweet potato, or one of a dozen other plants whose natural habit is trailing or vining. Perch it on a shelf so the leaves and flowers can cascade down into the light. What about those tomatoes? If they're a bush variety like Pixie Hybrid or Basket King (Geo. W. Park Seed Co., Greenwood, SC), they'll do well in hanging baskets.
A trellis—or other support of string, poles, netting, or fencing—also makes good use of vertical space. Our cucumbers climb a fence on the front window framing, leaving space for a small plantation of Bibb lettuce behind.
When planting seeds in the greenhouse, I use plain vermiculite or a loose, fluffy potting soil mix I buy in bulk from a local greenhouse.
Seeds don't need food—just moisture, warmth, and air. Seedlings, though, need something to grow on. So I line their flats with a layer of moss, some fine compost, then potting soil. (I use a store-bought mix. For a good homemade mix, combine equal parts of leaf mold, sphagnum or peat moss, and perlite or sharp sand. Equal amounts of compost, good loamy soil, and sharp sand, perlite, or vermiculite also make a good mix.) I transplant seedlings to flats when they develop their first true leaves, then water them with a diluted solution of kelp (about two tablespoons per gallon of water). This nourishment should last at least two weeks. After that, I feed the seedlings—and all my crops—every 10 to 14 days with fish emulsion or compost tea.
During the worst of winter, when the soil is cold and the light level low, plants don't need much food, so I switch to half-strength feedings. (Overfeeding crops, especially with nitrogen-rich fertilizers, results in sappy growth that attracts insects and invites disease.) As days lengthen and the sun gets more assertive, I increase the strength and frequency of feedings, especially for leaf crops and my greedy but prolific cucumbers. (I don't fertilize overwintered herbs at all; I don't want them to outgrow their pots before spring.)
Although it may feel balmy on a sunny day, a solar greenhouse is basically a cool greenhouse, so plan on raising only vegetables that can take a night chill. And remember that, under glass, leaf crops produce better than fruits.
Timing is also important. I start my fall greenhouse crops in August or September so they'll develop before the earth turns away from the sun. Seedlings planted between October and January—when sunlight is weakest—may need twice as many days to produce. In spring, the growth rate speeds up. Late winter seedlings may mark time during the low days—January 1 to February 15 here in central Pennsylvania. But once willow twigs turn yellow and snow starts to melt, those starts will take off.
I've worked up a list of my favorite solar greenhouse vegetables, in order of personal preference. My choices are based partly on results and partly on out-of-season desirability—fresh cucumbers and greens are hard to come by in January!
Cucumbers are a zinger crop. They taste great and make you feel pampered when trees are bare. The new European types produce all-female, self-pollinating blossoms, and their greenhouse-grown fruits taste much better than garden cucumbers. Seeds are costly, but a packet can last for two or three plantings. Dynasty (from Otis Twilley Seed Co., Trevose, PA) and Superator (Stokes Seeds, Fredonia, NY) are two good varieties.
Greenhouse cukes like the good life—warm soil, weekly feedings, and frequent warm waterings (every other day when fruiting). They prefer soil temperatures above 55 degrees or 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but can tolerate cool greenhouse nights if they get lots of light and warmth during the day.
I grow two indoor cucumber crops a year, planting in August or September for a November-December harvest, and again in February for May-June eating. Overproduction weakens the plants and cuts fruit size, so Colleen Armstrong (staff horticulturist at the New Alchemy Institute) suggests removing every sucker from the six lowest leaf joints, cutting the next eight shoots back to a single leaf, and letting the rest develop two or three leaves.
Swiss chard has been my most reliable and long-lasting leafy green. (The deep-rooted plant can survive over a week without water in my deep bed.) Low in calories and high in vitamins, chard tastes much milder when grown indoors. I plant seeds in August or September, start picking the succulent, seersuckered leaves in December, and keep harvesting until outdoor greens take over.
When cloudy midwinter days make me keep the greenhouse closed up, a plague of aphids or whiteflies sometimes hits my chard. But once I start opening vents regularly again, the bug pox clears, and the leaves become clean and green.
Chinese cabbage and other Oriental greens get two plantings—fall and winter-like cucumbers. Loose-leaf varieties do better than heading ones. I've had good luck with Prize Choy (Johnny's Selected Seeds, Albion, ME), Shanghai Pak Choi, and Spoon Cabbage (both from Kitazwa Seed Co., Santa Clara, CA).
Another Oriental green, kyona (also called mizuna, and also from Kitazwa Seed Co.), provides many cuttings of tender, mild-flavored, fringed leaves.
Bibb lettuce, with its delicate buttery soft heads, is perfect for the greenhouse. I also like Magnet, a forcing butterhead (The Cook's Garden, Londonderry, VT) and Mescher, a wonderful heirloom butterhead I got from a fellow member of the Seed Savers Exchange. Lettuce likes rich soil, lots of moisture, and good drainage. For the best harvest, plant the fall crop early and replant often. (Don't count on head lettuce in a greenhouse; it takes too long to develop.)
Hothouse radishes are fun to grow and have an unusually mild flavor. You can easily sneak them into a pot or along the edge of a bed. They form roots best in the lengthening days of spring. Plentiful moisture makes them crisp and mild.
New Zealand spinach surprises everyone who tries it with its luxuriant growth. A good space-saving plant, it can either grow in a tub on a shelf—vines spilling down into the sun—or climb a trellis or string. Start picking leaves two months after you plant the seed (which will germinate better if you file a little notch in its tough coat, then soak it overnight).
Onions won't bulb up in the depths of winter, but will yield a modest supply of savory green spears. Chives make a good greenhouse crop, too. (Let perennials freeze outdoors for two weeks before you bring them into the greenhouse. They need a rest after producing all summer.)
Tomatoes don't always earn their space, but, ah, the satisfaction of raising even a few real tomatoes in the off season! Small-fruited kinds like Presto, Pixie Hybrid, and Sweet 100 (Geo. W. Park Seed Co.) will bear more and ripen faster than full-sized varieties. If you insist on large fruit, Vendor (Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, North Garden, VA) and Park's Greenhouse Hybrid are good to try.
Start with potted tomatoes in the fall, either summer seedlings or rooted cuttings from established plants. They should start to bear by New Year's. You can also bring potted adult plants inside for a few extra weeks of fall fruits. Then start more seeds in December for a May harvest. I often use cold-tolerant Siberia and Santa (Siberia Seeds, Sweetgrass, MT) varieties for spring plantings. Wind normally helps tomatoes self-pollinate, but with few breezes indoors, jiggle blossoming plants several times a week to disperse pollen.
Greenhouse peppers tend to be small but are nonetheless welcome salad material when the outdoor garden is frozen. I often use extra starts from the previous spring—kept in two-gallon pots on our sunny patio over summer—for fall indoor plants. You can also sow seeds in May, grow them in pots until August, then transplant them to the greenhouse growing bed. Perennials in their native Tropics, peppers will keep leafing and bearing as long as they're healthy. Whitefly and aphid infestations, though, often result in disease.
Both beets and turnips grow well in greenhouses. You can plant them in fall, winter, or spring—directly in the growing bed or in 8 inch-deep pots or tubs. Eat them while the roots are small, and cook the greens, too.
Green beans make a fun spring crop: They're self-pollinating and like warm soil. Sow them in early March and harvest in June. You can even plant climbing beans in summer to shade the greenhouse or as an off-season green manure crop to add nitrogen to the soil.
I think of my solar greenhouse as a little resort: I go there whenever I need a renewing breath of balmy, leaf- and earth-scented air or a few relaxing minutes of pruning and transplanting. But I also want to raise food and flowers, start seedlings, dry herbs, cure onions, and propagate cuttings. Getting the most from a greenhouse—bounty as well as peacefulness—takes both time and practice, but the results are worth the effort.

You can prevent greenhouse diseases more easily than you can cure them. The following prevention tips are important. In fact, you may want to print them up on a little poster, especially if several people use or visit your greenhouse.
1. Do all you can to raise healthy plants. 2. Grow disease-resistant varieties. 3. Avoid overcrowding plants. 4. Keep the space well-ventilated. Venting dissipates excess heat, lets in carbon dioxide, and sets up a lively pattern of circulating air that discourages fungus disease and whiteflies. 5. Never smoke in the greenhouse, or handle tobacco-family plants—like peppers or tomatoes—after you've been smoking. Tobacco mosaic virus is highly contagious. 6. Don't use old potting soil for new seedlings—it may bring in damping-off disease. 7. Remove and compost (or burn) all dead leaves and diseased plants.

Fridge cabinet crown molding issues
I had a space built for my fridge and it doesn't look right. Pictures say it better than words, but I'll do my best to explain the issue. The fridge space is inset in a wall and when the cabinet above was installed, it was done so that the top of the molding is even with with the wall. The means that the molding on the wall isn't even with the molding on the fridge cabinet (just ignore the different style and color for now in the pic). Also, the frame around the cabinet extends down into the fridge space so this leaves a gap between the fridge and the wall.
My contractor is very reluctant to move the cabinet and frame out, mainly because he would have to call the cabinet installers back. My other thought was to have the molding extend to the cabinet and fill that gap. Not ideal, but it's better than it is now. The irritating thing is that this is the most expensive part of the remodel because building the fridge space meant moving the water heater and furnace. I can live with the gap between the fridge and the wall on the sides, but the molding just doesn't look right. Or am I off base?
Who planned this out? Of course it doesn't look right. Don't apologize. You could use the wall crown over the cabinet, mitering those corner areas so it's continuous. There are also corner pieces for transitions but not sure it would work or look right. I'd also want a filler at the bottom for the large gap. Don't see gaps at the side.
Yes, that looks wrong, and it catches the eye even if you didn't explain it. I think the cabinet and cabinet molding could extend beyond the wall and look fine, but it looks wrong that it is recessed from the wall. I also think that a continuous piece of crown would look nice if you add another piece of molding at the bottom of the crown to cover the gap.
Make a tiny little soffit at the top of the fridge cabinet from painted trim wood. The soffit would come down to the bottom edge of the crown on the cabinet and stick out enough to make the crown mounting surface the same as the wall crown. Then you can run your crown uninterrupted across the stretch. It will melt right in and not involve moving the cabinet, which looks fine!
I agree with beauty...some kind of filler or soffit or something to build out the top of the cabinet and then run the crown straight across. Is it just my monitor or is the cabinet crown a different color than the wall crown? If so, I guess you'll have to decide which color looks right there.
Sorry, I think the cabinet guy needs to come back and pull cabinet to be flush with wall. Then ceiling trim can run straight across. I had same gap at top of fridge, they just put a filler piece in, better looking, but now I cant store anything on top of fridge (which is the point with a frdge cabinet I know, but I could have put some flat trays there without the trim piece).
Poor overall planning from the beginning to do this ''recess'' and not have a plan to either integrate the room crown into the design, or eliminate the room crown entirely. This is yet another reason drywall recesses are bad ideas to try to build in a fridge. They are neither fish nor fowl.
You need around 1/2" on the sides for ventilation. You need to decide if you want room crown or cabinet crown, or how to do a transition between them, like with a plinth block. And the whole fridge and cabinet need to be pulled forward about 6'' to have this look like an actual cabinet instead of a hole in the wall. Yes, that means cacinet side panels.
I like the soffit plan, FWIW.
I have that same gap at the top of my fridge and thought it was required for heat ventilation? The install specs in my fridge required a 2" clearance from upper cab. I toyed with asking for a piece of fretwork trim, but I do sometimes slip large things up there temporarily.
I don't think I would pull the cabinet, fridge or scribes forward...no chance the walls are perfectly plumb there
Maybe have the cabinet installer make up a "L" shape piece of trim to install behind the cabinet crown to get in-line with room crown?
Check the specs on the fridge before you have that gap closed up....have a feeling you will find there is a clearance requirement for that fridge to allow for ventilation as MizLizzie mentioned above
That does look odd to me, especially since it looks as though you need the fridge pulled forward so that the doors can open. I would want the fridge and cabinet to line up, either both pulled forward or both recessed, but having one forward and one back is weird.
I wonder how this would look - Continue the wall crown molding so the bottom comes right to the edge of the recess (right now its the top that comes to the edge of the recess). This would cause the diagonal part of the wall crown to overlap in front of the recessed cabinet crown. The wall crown molding would then cover the edges of the cabinet crown molding and you would get the illusion of a continuous piece
The little soffit and L ideas are good but it might look funny to have the cabinet crown projected forward like that. Try to make a mock up to see how it looks.

I realized my boys are going to need new shoes for dining on our disney cruise. I am not sure what to get since they need to go with cruise casual clothes but one dress up night. Summer will be here soon and they will be in flip flips until September so I dont want to spend too much. Their school sneakers a are a bit worse for wear over time(hope I make it until June lol.) Any ideas or suggestions?
a bit OT Cruise shoes
Comments (8)
Maybe some stride rites? Katie wore her crocs and dressy flip flops all the time. I found that the night that I went for the "dress up" meal, I looked down at my feet and realized I had forgotten to change to my dress sandals and was still wearing my crocs lol.

They would look good with khaki pants on the cruise and shorts in the summer.

You know what would be cute with that outfit?... red Converse high tops! A friend's little boys were in a wedding last summer. They wore traditional black tux's with red high tops.

I don't think so, I think it's a cute idea
We usually get dress shoes for DS from Payless. I like Stride Rite for all the time shoes because I feel like they hold up better, but Payless fits him well too. They just don't hold up quite as well IMO. But for dress shoes that he doesn't wear that often, it doesn't matter.

Comments by colleen
hey ruzuzu, long time no see! glad you like this one, I remember it took me ages to put all these in back on the old Wordie. :)
Hey Madmouth! I am here, just quiet. Real life keeps getting in the way.
I'm on celestial mechanics at the moment... I'm going to enjoy pawing through all the lists I've missed!
hi, fbharjo! how's tricks?
life got weird, but I am returned. :))
@bilby, hello to you all!
@Prolagus, I never got this comment! otherwise I'd have had some sassy comeback.
French: tightrope
featured on Kottke.org today!
thanks apepch7, but Hecate isn't traditionally associated with American folk magic, which is the purpose of this particular list.
the art of being an asshat.
HAH. you had me going for a minute. I need more coffee, clearly.
a cheerio? really? O.o
thank you, Prolagus! a memory from when I was (badly) learning Slovak... :)
Oh, I love this book, these books, Pavic is possibly my favorite writer in the world.
sionnach, the difference is a paragraph which changes everything. and by lexicon novel, it means that it is written in the form of a dictionary, as the title suggests - although it really more of an encyclopedia, I would say. like an epistolary novel is written in the form of letters, you know?
ahh ahh *flaphands* I just can't tell you how much I love Pavic. -
frindley, that is the best idea I've heard in forever.
a state of being. a state of mind.
compare: humanity -
maybe this place would be less of a tip if I had some quality office girls.
aka microwave oven.
1) past tense of spell
2) dreadful-tasting wheat product -
that's the one!
reesetee, apparently we get the same newsletter. :)
Lower Shebobia is a real place in Nova Scotia... I think. :D One of my colleagues uses it to refer to any place remote, which is (pardon the pun) miles above the usual Bumfuck variations you hear from most folks.
in New Orleans, folks from St. Bernard parish, specifically Chalmette, are called chalmations.
« »
SUCH a drag, life without Wordie...
thanks, bilby! that's a good one!
Rumors of my death &c &c, bilby! Please feel free to drop suggestions on any of my lists. If I'm going for a specific gestalt in my own mind, I may not take them, but I always appreciate them! :)
Hey, reesetee! I'm just getting started on it, I've been so busy that I hadn't had time to properly Wordie. Hope to correct that soon...
thanks, adrift! you're off to a great start yourself!
Does it not also refer to actors who perform said tragedies? The singers of goat songs, as it were?
oh! and one more thing, re what mollusque mentioned: in Firefox you can also navigate your tabs with ctrl-page up and ctrl-page down -- page up moves you to the left through your open tabs, and page down to the right.
reesetee, I don't know when I started saying holy carp but it was probably around the same time I started saying oh my dog.
A bit late on it, but new window/new tab/&c makes no nevermind to me, I have my browser so rigged that links do what I want them to no matter what you code. :D I think this may really a preference issue, not a practicality issue? -
Holy carp, John, I was away awhile and the layout tweaks you've made in that time are fantastic. I'm off to poke the site with a sharp stick and see what else is new.
Well, you COULD spit it at people! To each their own. :D
John, I'm thiefing some of these for my maccheroni list. there are so many I missed!
I have a couple of those resources in my del.icio.us, uselessness, for the occasions that I can't remember either the html or the ALT code.
Being picky about fake French brings me to a new low, so I think it's time for bed. :D
(Bonne liste!) -
Doing the backstroke through your piles of gold!
should it not be Jacques Penné avec le lettre c?
c_b, apparently the uml tag only works on vowels. I was just now trying to make a Spinal Tap joke and it refused to put the umlaut on the n where it belongs. :D
Is it a time zone issue, perhaps? Do you have to set the default time zone?
Anyway, it looks all right to me. It's not terribly intrusive and I suspect that with a bit of exposure the eye will just wander right by them. :) -
& u uml ;
without the spaces -
Hee. Oh, UD. User-generated content at its finest.
And the award for most chavtastic sentence on Wordie (so far) goes to...
Unrelated to nerf herder, one of the greatest insults in the galaxy.
John, I just happened to notice on Facebook that you mentioned ads? Would that be as in advertisements?
edit ah, question answered by available evidence. :) -
Also called a sap bush in some parts.
If I was to make a list of words learnt from "Bloom County," this would be on top of it.
To Do: alchemy list.
You say "regular."
It is a gorgeous turn of phrase, yes. I do love GBS. :)
I think that Dr. John does as well!
I geeked out mightily for a moment, there, huh?
Eee, I love this song. Awesome list. :)
Ah, that was me, John, on misuse. :)
Yes, actually "Rohirric" is just Anglo-Saxon, or Englisc, if you prefer. :)
Has anyone done a Tolkien list? -
There is also the Old Entish meaning...
Some days I check the comments feed and I wonder, I really wonder.
Hmm. Where you lose me is at the assessment "stupid people." A number of phenomenally intelligent people are terrible at verbal communication.
And since I'm at it, as for mesmerize, mesmerism appears to come from the surname of one Austrian Dr. Friedrich Anton Mesmer, who came to live and work in Paris, this leading to the nouning of his surname as mesmérisme. So less German and more Austro-French?
There's room for a ouija pun here but I can't seem to spin it just right... -
This is where a citation would've been handy -- I completely agree with sionnach, but out of curiosity I checked the OED to see if there was someting I was missing. The definition of mogul to which betsyshane must be referring is
"A bump on a ski slope, by which a skier's progress may be impeded."
which appears to come from
"German regional (Austria) Mugel hillock." -
the Fifth Pillar of Islam: pilgrimage to Mecca
the Fourth Pillar of Islam: fasting during Ramadan
the Third Pillar of Islam: giving alms
Second Pillar of Islam: prayer
the First Pillar of Islam: profession of faith.
John, thanks for reminding me to add the rest of the pillars.
I'm pretty sure the title of the book is Cry, The Beloved Country.
final destination, ultima thule?
"appears in lists" IS vawes but it doesn't seem to work for words listed by only one person?
and I'll pass on the sandwich and have a tea, there's a love. -
thanks, trivet! I have a Thing.
There but for the grace of spellcheck go I.
Now I should like it very much if someone would teach me how to remember the correct spellings of Cincinnati and Mediterranean. :D
The mnemonic I was taught to for spelling this was to remember the "carib bean grows in the caribbean."
and then two seconds after posting the below I get an email:
today is weirdassed. -
I didn't add font names to my own typography list, or I'd have been here for years. This list is lovely.
You'd be amazed what you find in Mississippi.
"Pants" is also an expression of badness, such as, "I'm pants at checkers." or "This day has been absolute pants."
It's just a death portent, like the "Hound of the Baskervilles." Sometimes just seeing it is enough, sometimes it, pun intentded, dogs you a bit before you die.
wiki entry, which covers most of the bases. -
Just don't wear them on an escalator!
Kewpid, would that be killing of vegans?
*innocent face* -
"Murder of cows" is a nice visual pun, though, isn't it?
Yes, Esfah�?n nesf-e jah�?n ast.
Well! Now I know. :)
faraway, I missed this comment, sorry! Thank you! I have a bit of a thing for that book, and for Rushdie in general. :)
I imagine it has to do with being red...?
jochen, did you know you can leave your quote on the word itself? :) Great list!
But fbharjo, they haven't any teeth...
Personally, I always think of Kilgore...
Would that be "SCREW-ta-tor" or "screw-TATER"?
Thanks, 82! You will find that I make all kinds of hands. ramblehands, gimmehands, explainyhands... although offline they do look rather like the same oblique gesture. Hmm. *musehands*
TRUE. It is an old-timey madeupical word!
You're going to have to accept that you've been living a lie. -
This word is, in fact, madeupical.
PAST HISTORY. *shakes people by the lapels*
Oh, I remember now! The question, by nurse, doctor or other healthcare worker, "Do you have a past history of n?"
Drives me batshit. -
Did I? I may have. I don't remember either, reesetee! :)
Speaking of things that I don't remember, there's a redundancy I hear in the doctor's office that annoys me, but I can't quite recall it. Something to do with health history. -
No, in law. But I worked in bookstores for many years. :)
isbn number. *shudder*
I had missed that, thanks, trivet!
Dang, beaten to the pun.
And the ever popular "ATM machine."
"chai tea" makes my head hurt in the same way that "ISBN number" does. GAH.
Yes! I'm still inputting them, and then I'll get to the descriptions... sometime when it's not 2:30 in the morning. :D
see: mastiff
and a molosser is my dog!
see: vagabond
Gosh, fbharjo, I just was not putting mendicant together with mendacious -- I was thinking of the wandering ascetic definition of it, mendicant monk, like.
I don't know how I missed this. Excellent.
Hee! I can't repeat most the things my father said while driving... Come to think of it, that's probably why I'm a Deadwood fan. ;)
The rain set early in tonight,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
and did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in Porphyria; straight
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm;
Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall,
And, last, she sat down by my side
And called me. When no voice replied,
She put my arm about her waist,
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,
And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me--she
Too weak, for all her heart's endeavor,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me forever.
But passion sometimes would prevail,
Nor could tonight's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain:
So, she was come through wind and rain.
Be sure I looked up at her eyes
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshiped me: surprise
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
While I debated what to do.
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,
And strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
As a shut bud that holds a bee,
I warily oped her lids: again
Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
And I untightened next the tress
About her neck; her cheek once more
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss:
I propped her head up as before
Only, this time my shoulder bore
Her head, which droops upon it still:
The smiling rosy little head,
So glad it has its utmost will,
That all it scorned at once is fled,
And I, its love, am gained instead!
Porphyria's love: she guessed not how
Her darling one wish would be heard.
And thus we sit together now,
And all night long we have not stirred,
And yet God has not said a word!
(Robert Browning) -
another fascinating take on the evolution (or devolution) of language is in the novel "Cloud Atlas."
it's getting late where I am. -
And here I thought you must be a "Deadwood" fan.
You're very welcome.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that English's parentage is beyond bastardy -- what do you call it when it's got a half dozen parents and none of them legitimate? :) -
On the contrary, palooka, I think you RAISED the level of discourse for a bit there. I. Well. I apologize for knocking it back down. :D
I didn't know it was still in print, honestly. It came out when I was a freshman in college and I have never met another person who was not a linguist that had read it. Bless the internets! :D
Having just outed myself as a Star Wars Dork, I will now proceed hence. :D
Or like "padawan"?
One of the most fascinating reads ever is Pinker's "The Language Instinct." I'm not sure if it's still in print, but I really recommend it.
Uselessness, I hear what you're saying and you're right, of course. As npydyuan (how on earth do you pronounce that?!) said, we all have some hot-button (mis)uses, and meme happens to be one of them for me. -
I think that there are words which change meanings over time and adaption, and there are words that don't and ought not to! Y/N? Is my shameful inner prescriptivist getting the better of me? :D
Actually, 82, I thought memesta was clever! I'm absolutely in favor of madeupical words, as John says -- my issue is with the people who... how to put it? I think I must turn to the words of a man greater than I: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
And yet perversely fascinating!
the widespread misuse of this term on the web is probably a meme unto itself.
and pronounced, I believe, as meem. not mehm, not mimi, people: meem.
oh, so many rants, so little time... -
not even a little! from the OED:
1. a. Unhealthy, corrupt, diseased; causing disease. Formerly esp. of a bodily humour. Now arch. and hist.
2. a. Of a person or other agent: that commits or has committed a sin or an offence; sinning, offending; culpable.
b. Of an action or thing: offensive; sinful. -
It's been considered a delicacy for centuries. Um. *hands*
I think it's a dreadfully misused word -- I have heard at least two people misuse it when they wanted zeitgeist, which was funny. and sad. and... sad.
Is it the word qua the word you hate, or is it the pretentious wankery it represents?
*innocent face* -
cool, jennarenn? my ruse is working! ;)
No, no, you do make a good point about competition. It's best to avoid fostering that, and I see how the stats would do so.
Seconded, I would love to see traffic stats. Mostly because I am an egomaniac. :D
If I copy this word from you, does that make me one?
Mm, what palooka said. We're here to share language, not to box it up, yes, yes -- but our lists as entities unto themselves are personal. This isn't to say someone else couldn't or shouldn't make their own list of, say, sailing words, or kinds of fish, but the copying of a list in its entirety would be rather like plagiarism.
Again I think it's all common sense and golden rule stuff! -
two shakes of a lamb's tail?
I really think that the only rule Wordie needs is "don't be a jerk." The rest will sort itself. :)
It's old-timey.
Thou shalt indicate facetiousness with helpful asterisks?
I don't think there's any such thing as word theft, good lord. Let us not succumb to Wordie fascism, shall we?
Well, there's room for ten on the tablet, seanahan. Perhaps we should get a committee on up the mountain?
I'm pretty sure the First Commandment of Wordie is Thou shalt not harsh another Wordie's buzz.
and if it isn't, it should be. -
Anglo-Ind. A great man, distinguished personage. Often affixed as a title to an officer's name.
many thanks, until you are better paid.
John, what happened to the all-time wordiest list? I've been getting 404s on it.
Scanning really quickly I thought this entry was for Papa Chango.
should one be launched from a catapeltic, the end result might well be catalepsy!
A. adj. Pertaining to a catapult. B. n. A catapult.
Sossing through seamless waters, piloted in
by sea-horse and fluent dolphin:
Ah! how the cannons roar,
How jocular the bells as They
Indulge the peccant shore.
-W.H. Auden, "Under Sirius" -
yeah, it works as html, but I did not try putting it in as a word, not being sure the special character would translate.
in its most correct form, it would be mediæval, with a ligature, but I seemed to recall something about those not working well in Wordie?
well, John, shows what I know! :)
perhaps some nice programmer who enjoys Wordie will step up... -
in mediaeval architecture, frequently confused with gargoyle
I'd love to get notifications of comments on lists and on individual words, instead of having to subscribe to umpteen feeds, but I worry that generating all those emails would kill the servers.
it is also a mediocre Led Zeppelin tribute album.
fantastic word, and it reminded me to add bliaut, which is not at all similiar.
mmmm. fruitcake.
this is a great list! gives me the creeps. :D
it's all true.
may I suggest xenophobia or the more poetic jingoism?
hee. I leave you alone for a day...

nice words!
thanks, adrift! you're off to a great start yourself!
hi colleen,
i've favorited several of your lists, because they are awesome.

thanks for the hint colleen.
Thanks, 82! You will find that I make all kinds of hands. ramblehands, gimmehands, explainyhands... although offline they do look rather like the same oblique gesture. Hmm. *musehands*
i just read you say *ramblehands* and I think that is great.
Thanks for the return comment; I'm happy to have brought a smile to your face. Sadly, you and I seem to be diametric opposites when it comes to nice. :(
Welcome to the 2000 club! :-)
Mrs Thatcher.
My lady of the horse-milkers! Tony and/or Margaret salutes you.
thank you! most of the words themselves are pretty innocuous, so I had to fancy it up somehow. :D
I love your list names!
Gosh. I didn't think Wordie was a competitive sport!
I will fight you tooth and nail for that top spot.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Visitors could be forgiven for walking past this design museum, tucked away behind Tokyo Midtown; from the outside, the Tadao Ando–designed space barely peeks out from the grounds of Hinokicho Park. But it's well worth a visit to the triangular concrete and glass building, especially because the well-organized institution is the first of its kind in Japan. Since opening in the shadow of Tokyo Midtown in 2007, the museum has showcased works by a range of artists (including Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Irving Penn, and Shiro Kuramata) on an equally diverse group of topics, from chocolate to water. The variety of exhibitions is, in part, due to Issey Miyake, the renowned Japanese fashion designer who is also the co-director of the two-story space. Allow yourself extra time to visit the neighboring café.—Rebecca Willa Davis
Open Wednesdays through Mondays 11 am to 8 pm.

He, along with the officials of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka governments, National Highways Authority of India , Chennai, and Ennore ports, reviewed the progress regarding the Chennai Bangalore Industrial Corridor , Ennore-Manali Road Improvement Project and Chennai Port - Maduravoyal elevated link road project and new rail alignment from Chennai to Bangalore.
This is the second visit of Mr. Nair to Chennai since November 28, 2011. Last time, he was in the city based on a request from Japanese investors, who sought better infrastructural facilities. Mr. Nair He inspected all the three ports in the city, learned about the ongoing projects and the hardship faced by the trade.
Talking to The Hindu, a top official said "Mr. Nair is keen that all these projects are taken up and completed in time. The new rail alignment is mainly aimed at helping the trade by connecting it with the Ennore port. It will also run through a different alignment and would be shorter than the existing bus route. The Chennai Port officials also sought third and fourth rail alignment to take care of future needs."
