Thanks Spud, it ís a happy place - probably cat-magic, which always amazes me. You can see it in the picture: Dido finds a place to sit, gets his knitting and at once everything is cozy and comfy. They are great home makers.
Chris, I was going to say I like what you've done with what you've got. It looks like a happy place.
Thanks for the compliments! Most of the time I feel quite silly with my 4th floor boxes, like a child pretending, but I haven't got anything else, so this must be my garden. ;-)
Chris you have a beautiful garden.
A bit of good news regarding one type of pesticide use - after the dramatic bumblebee mass death in a suburb of Portland Oregon, the state legislature placed a temporary ban on use of neonics (neonicotinoid pessticides) in the state.
From another article, in "The Grist", "Somewhat confusingly, retailers will still be allowed to sell the products. It will just be illegal for landscapers and gardeners to actually use them.
Naturally, the pesticide manufacture is against the idea. ""We do not believe the scope of these measures is necessary with the information available," Safari manufacturer Valent said in a statement, "and we will work to get the restrictions lifted as soon as possible."
For what it's worth, here is a list of pollen sources for honeybees. These plants also provide food for native pollinators, which are probably more important in agriculture, than honeybees. Bees need pollen and nectar - Here is list of Nectar sources for the North. I imagine southern states have similar and more.
(Image from above source.)
Great pics Chris!
Over six kilos of purring cat - what a harvest!
Enjoying my container garden on a summer evening in good company. The marrowfat pea harvest is almost done: eighty grams! It will take some more effort before I can invite you to share a meal with me. I also harvested a lot of parsley, rosemary and chives, and there is more to come: beetroots, chards, salad and green peas. I had to start all over again with many sorts of veg because of the long cold spring. I'm learning and enjoying myself.
Nothing of importance to add to the discussion (and photos). Simply enjoying reading all the comments. What a neat group of people!
I let the shallots bloom to provide bee forage. The garden books say the shallots will be smaller if allowed to bloom. That's OK. The variety is "Holland White". Honeybees, and wild bees, do like them. They seem to like thistle flowers and clover, better Maybe it's because the white shallot flowers harbor a white, apiivorous arachnid?
Just a little point and shoot camera. I use it because if I drop or lose it, I won't be too mad at myself.
Chris - now I have to study up on phacelia. If bees love it, then it's gotta go into the bee garden.
Spud - thanks! I went crazy this year, starting fig cuttings. Some co-workers want starts, so I started some to give them away. Plus the starts for my own use.

Quirky pub company Antic has turned an old job centre into Deptford High Street into a brand new watering hole, opening today. But what other famous south east London buildings have been given a new lease of life?
We want you to let us know (comment below or tweet @NewsShopper), but here's a few to start you off…
Eltham GPO
Another Antic venture, the old post office in Eltham is now a trendy pub.
The O2 Arena
Perhaps the most high-profile of the lot, the controversial Millennium Dome was reborn as one of the country's best gig venues. The first gig was Bon Jovi in 2007.
Big Red
Bus journey's were never the best of dates, but thanks to a loving transformation in Deptford, an old London bus is now a romantic spot for lovers after a bite to eat.
Deptford Project Café
The people of Deptford sure know how to recycle because here's another case of something being reborn as a social venue. The Deptford Project Café made use of an old train carriage. Sadly, it reached the end of the line earlier this year when the carriage was moved into storage in Greenwich to make way for houses.
Pizza 1889
An old shipping container was transformed into a gorgeous little pizza restaurant in Orpington with some serious credentials earlier this year.

New Delta Community College program targets growth of middle class
Louisiana Delta Community College is launching a campaign aimed at growing the middle class in the impoverished Delta country parishes of northeast Louisiana.
The News-Star reports the goals of the Delta Compact — the name given to the marketing, education and development campaign — are to increase the high school graduation rate in the three parishes to 70 percent, increase college attendance among graduating seniors to 50 percent, reduce the unemployment rate and increase access to the Internet.

Exploring The Relationships Of Power, Attitudes Regarding Intermittent Fetal Monitoring, And Perceived Barriers To Research Utilization With A Labor And Delivery Nurse's Attitude Toward Patient Advocacy, 2015 Seton Hall University
Exploring The Relationships Of Power, Attitudes Regarding Intermittent Fetal Monitoring, And Perceived Barriers To Research Utilization With A Labor And Delivery Nurse's Attitude Toward Patient Advocacy, Lisa Heelan
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
A problem identified in nursing practice was the routine use of continuous fetal monitoring (CEFM) with low risk laboring women. CEFM is associated with worsened outcomes for the low risk laboring woman with no benefit to the newborn. In addition, this routine practice does not allow most laboring women the right to make an informed choice regarding treatment options. Nursing includes the role of patient advocacy. There was a need to better understand what is associated with a labor and delivery nurse's attitude toward patient advocacy.
This descriptive correlational research design examined the relationships of power as knowing participation ...

Law, Ethics, And Public Health In The Vaccination Debates: Politics Of The Measles Outbreak, 2015 Georgetown University Law Center
Law, Ethics, And Public Health In The Vaccination Debates: Politics Of The Measles Outbreak, Lawrence O. Gostin
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The measles outbreak of early 2015 is symptomatic of a larger societal problem–the growing number of parents who decide against vaccinating their children. This failure is causing the resurgence of childhood diseases once eliminated from the United States.
This article explores the legal and ethical landscape of vaccine exemptions. While all states require childhood vaccinations, they differ significantly in the types of religious and/or philosophical exemptions permitted, the rigor of the application process, and available review mechanisms. States with relaxed exemption policies disproportionately experience more outbreaks of vaccine-preventable disease.
Vaccine exemptions are an illustration of the "tragedy of ...
A Biblical Approach To Cadaveric Organ Transplants, 2015 Cedarville University
A Biblical Approach To Cadaveric Organ Transplants, Erica Graham
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
Upon passing their driver's license exam every American has the opportunity to become an organ donor. Organ donor status allows immediate retrieval of transplantable organs after death for transplantation into other patients in order to save their lives. Many citizens endorse this action because one donor can save multiple lives by donating viable organs postmortem. However, some people do not endorse organ transplants arguing that it violates the body and that being an organ donor results in a premature declaration of death.
The current standard for cadaveric transplantation is retrieval from heart beating donors. A heart beating donor is ...
Charity As A Moral Duty, 2015 Cedarville University
Charity As A Moral Duty, Erica Graham
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
A question many Americans frequently encounter is whether or not they should give money to aid developing countries. We have the opportunity, through a charity, to help fund efforts to feed, clothe, and employ people lacking one of these from no fault of their own. What is the moral duty in this case? Society views these donations as beyond one's moral duty but Peter Singer argues that such giving is a moral duty. This paper will explore Singer's argument regarding this case, ultimately agreeing with Singer that charity is a moral duty.
A Grounded Natural Law, 2015 Cedarville University
A Grounded Natural Law, Benjamin German
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
For many Evangelical thinkers, natural law is an untenable ethical framework. The very phrase makes some cringe. Many Evangelicals find it irreconcilable with their conception of the totalizing effect of sin upon the human will and intellect. In his article "Natural Law and a Nihilistic Culture," Carl Henry illustrates this deep-rooted fear of many within the movement. However, in recent years, some evangelical thinkers are reconsidering natural law. While Henry enumerates valid concerns over possible abuses of natural law, he forfeits the common denominator by which Evangelicals can engage in helpful ethical debate with the secular world.
Virtue Ethics And Abortion, 2015 Cedarville University
Virtue Ethics And Abortion, Jacob Countryman
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
Singer suggests that the argument of abortion has missed the point. He asserts that the debate should focus on if it is wrong to kill an innocent human being instead of arguing whether a fetus is or is not an innocent human being. The Pro-Choice arguments of when personhood begins are vague and, therefore, cannot provide a concrete moment of when personhood starts. Since reason can only go so far in its ability to determine ethics, this paper will explain that Singer also misses the point; rather, striving to be virtuous demonstrates that abortion is morally wrong.
A Missed Opportunity For Shared Responsibility In Adolescent Contraception, 2015 McGill University
A Missed Opportunity For Shared Responsibility In Adolescent Contraception, Vasiliki Rahimzadeh
Journal of Adolescent and Family Health
The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Adolescence recently endorsed IUDs as the clinical contraceptive method of choice among sexually active adolescents. This commentary highlights the ways in which these recommendations reinforce a gender normative notion that contraceptive responsibilities continue to lie squarely with young women, and now adolescent girls. It critiques the absence of guidance from the Committee regarding how to approach both sexual partners equally in discussions of contraception. The reflection also identifies paucity in how to address sexual health among trans/intersexed adolescents and those with complex sexual orientations. Such exclusion has adverse implications, inviting marginalization of ...

The Green Staff Of Asclepius: Envisioning Sustainable Medicine, 2014 University of Tennessee - Knoxville
The Green Staff Of Asclepius: Envisioning Sustainable Medicine, Jason Lee Fishel
Doctoral Dissertations
To make society sustainable our institutions must also become sustainable. As an institution, health care contributes to environmental degradation. While unsurprising, contributions to environmental degradation increase risk factors for disease and illness, effectively frustrating the goals of medicine. To find ways to make health care sustainable I begin by reviewing the literature on sustainability from within environmental ethics and two previous attempts at envisioning sustainable health care in order to learn what to include in a vision of sustainable health care. Then I examine problems specific to making medicine sustainable by investigating how sustainability might affect the principles of medicine ...
End Of Life Ethics: Hospice And Advance Directives, 2014 Cedarville University
End Of Life Ethics: Hospice And Advance Directives, Thomas Kehr
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
It has been said, "Everybody will die, but very few people want to be reminded of that fact" (Handler, 2000, p.28). Perhaps this is the reason so few adults have advanced directives. Even after the 2005 public debate over the Terry Schiavo case, it has been calculated that two-thirds of Americans adults have not completed advance directives (Morhaim & Pollack, 2013).
Americans are united in desiring that their wishes be honored. Sister Nancy, a senior Catholic Nun, had completed her living will. After a medical episode and hospitalization she was furious that hospital emergency physicians had not honored her advanced directives. Yes, her life was saved; but the sacred trust of patient and physician was broken. It is this sacred trust we all count on.
This paper will provide an ethical overview of advance directives, hospital care, hospice services, and physician roles and essential responsibilities. It will ...
Why Christians Are Afraid Of Removing Artificial Nutrition And Hydration, 2014 Cedarville University
Why Christians Are Afraid Of Removing Artificial Nutrition And Hydration, Lynley G. Turkelson
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
On 31 March 2005, Terri Schiavo passed away, amidst the grief, consternation, and outrage of many Americans. In our desire to live forever and "be like God" (Genesis 3:5), human beings have created death-defying technologies. However, these technologies have led to many ethical dilemmas, in part because bioethics has been influenced insidiously by a cultural transhumanism that denies our fundamental human nature and mortality. Many Christians have embraced a transhumanist view of technology, leading to an unhealthy vitalism at the end of life. In this paper, I will demonstrate this flawed view, using the persistent vegetative states (PVS) as ...
Ethical Duties In Ectopic Pregnancy, 2014 Cedarville University
Ethical Duties In Ectopic Pregnancy, Josephine Hein
CedarEthics: A Journal of Critical Thinking in Bioethics
Ectopic pregnancy is occurring at an increasing frequency in the United States due to a rise in sexually transmitted disease, fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization, smoking, stress, and drug use. An ectopic pregnancy (EP), from Latin roots meaning "out of place," is a pregnancy that does not correctly implant into its normal location in the endometrium of the uterus. Instead, the developing embryo implants in the fallopian tube, the cervix, the ovaries, or the abdominal or pelvic cavity. EPs today constitute about 2% of all pregnancies, of which 97% implant in the fallopian tube. A ruptured EP can ...

Documenting Mass Rape: Medical Evidence Collection Techniques As Humanitarian Technology, 2014 Northwestern University
Documenting Mass Rape: Medical Evidence Collection Techniques As Humanitarian Technology, Jaimie Morse
Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
Aim: Emerging global networks of human rights activists, doctors, and nurses have advocated for increased collection of medical evidence in conflict-affected countries to corroborate allegations of sexual violence and facilitate prosecution in international and domestic courts. Such initiatives are part of broader shifts in human rights advocacy to document human rights violations using rigorous, standardized methodologies. In this paper, I consider three principal forms of medical evidence to document sexual violence and their use in these settings: the patient medical record, the medical certificate, and the sexual assault medical forensic exam (commonly known as the "rape kit").
Methods: Combining archival ...

Regulating The Placebo Effect In Clinical Practice, 2014 National University of Singapore
Regulating The Placebo Effect In Clinical Practice, Tracey E. Chan
Tracey E Chan
Recent research and ethical analysis have forced a clinical and ethical reappraisal of the utility of placebos in medical practice. The main concern of ethics and law is that using placebos in health care involves deception, which is antithetical to patient autonomy and trust in the physician-patient relationship. This paper reviews the various, more nuanced scientific conceptions of the placebo effect, and evaluates the ethical and legal objections to deploying placebos in clinical practice. It argues that the placebo effect may be legitimately accommodated on the basis that it does not engage the requirement for material or quasi-fiduciary disclosures of ...
An Efficient Standardized Method Of Maintaining Quality Assurance In Therapeutic Treatment Record Keeping, 2014 University of Nevada, Las Vegas
An Efficient Standardized Method Of Maintaining Quality Assurance In Therapeutic Treatment Record Keeping, Kelsey Michael Bradshaw
UNLV Theses/Dissertations/Professional Papers/Capstones
Quality assurance (QA) within the field of mental health is the practice of monitoring and reviewing services to ensure adherence to specified standards of care. Agents within State governments and various organizations influence record keeping procedures through ethical guidelines and law. For instance, client records must be maintained for all clients receiving mental health services, including informed consent, releases of information, treatment plans, and progress notes. Accurate and timely record keeping procedures assure quality mental health services. However, professionals sometimes err in the maintenance of client records, which can have a negative impact on services, clients, and practitioners. To assist ...

I really had the perfect stay at Sandra and Alex's place. The listing was just as described. I was in town for a conference, and it was so nice to come back to a warm, cozy and clean room. Alex and Sandra were friendly and respectful and made sure I had everything I could need. I checked in later in the evening which was not a problem, and I was also able to leave early in the morning easily. They even left out some coffee and delicious muffins for me in the mornings. I highly recommend staying with them if you are in the area, and I look forward to my next visit!
Sandra and Alex provided an excellent experience. They were very friendly and did their utmost to ensure my stay was enjoyable: from offering clear guidance on how to reach them using public transport to lending me a bicycle so I could travel with them to the local Strawfest at a nearby village. My room was comfortable, spacious, and had a desk to work on; the house was also spacious, very clean, and uncluttered. A most enjoyable visit.
Sandra and Alex are a very friendly, welcoming couple. They make you feel like a family member, which I appreciate. It was great to have a workspace/desk and chair in the very generously sized bedroom. Totally comfortable on all counts.
Great hosts, quiet clean room, private bathroom. A short walk to a 2 mile nature trail where I lost count of the deer spying me, the bunnies crossing my path, and the songbirds near my shoulder. Close to work in Arlington Heights. Perfect!
I had a great stay at Sandra and Alex's home. Room was very clean and spacious, with plenty of closet, floorspace, and a big desk. Bed & pillow was a bit too soft and cushy for my taste, but had no problems sleeping after a hard day's work! Muffins and coffee was provided every morning (a big plus for traveling professionals like me!) and most importantly, Sandra and Alex were very warm and nice hosts. We had good chat over a hockey game and a beer in the living room. Due to being too preoccupied with a very heavy workday, I completely forgot to check out very early Thursday morning (i had agreed to this), but Sandra was very understanding and my belongings were kept aside for me to pick up in the evening. If I am ever in Lake Forest area again, I'll gladly stay with them again. Thank you.
Sandra and Alex were excellent hosts! They were very flexible with our arrival time and had no problem with us coming and going as we pleased, regardless of the time. Every morning they had muffins. oatmeal, and fresh coffee for us--definitely an added bonus! They offered bikes for the trails that are right by their home, but unfortunately my boyfriend and I had no time to use them. Regardless, I would highly recommend staying here :)
Sandra, Alex and their family were very kind and hospitable hosts. They booked us without much notice and didn't mind that we weren't able to arrive until around 11pm. The room was clean and comfortable and we were even given our own bathroom. Muffins and coffee were waiting for us every morning. Our stay was perfect; I would definitely stay here again.
Great accommodations and the family could not have been nicer. AAAAA++
Cute home and nice room as described. The hosts were wonderfully hospitable and helped our stay to be comfortable and enjoyable. It was just perfect for our short visit to the area.
Our thanks to both Sandra and Alex.
Sandra and Alex were laid back and very easy going. It was a busy house the weekend they stayed with us but they were completely relaxed and went with the flow. We sorry we didn't have more time to talk them about their Airbnb - I'm sure they make great hosts. They are always welcome here the next time they are in town.
Sandra and Alex left our apartment clean and neat. I highly recommend them as guests!
It is always lovely to see Sandra. She's a great guest with lot's going on. Kind, considerate, convivial: always welcome.
Very nice and funny, they left there room very clean and nice.
I highly recommend Sandra for other host.
We hosted Sandi and her son Nicholas during their College tour. It was great chatting with them and finding out about their interests and past experiences. They were tidy, kind, and considerate guests and would be welcome back anytime!
Sandi and Alex booked both our rooms for a family visit. They are great, as are their two wicked-impressive kids.
Sandi and Alex were top-notch guests, thoughtful and gracious. We enjoyed having them stay with us again.
It was wonderful to host Sandra and Alex in our home! Although we unfortunately unable to meet them personally when they stayed at our place, they were great to communicate with leading up to their visit, and it is evident that they enjoy getting the most of their travel experiences. Also, they left our place wonderfully clean, and had even washed and dried the towels that they used! We would absolutely recommend them to you, and we of course would be happy to host them again anytime!
Sandra was a terrific guest. While visiting her freshman son on parents weekend she was up early and out late, always considerate, friendly and on the ball.

The lines to Leeds via Castleford and Wakefield Kirkgate separate immediately west of the station, which was opened by the Wakefield, Pontefract & Goole Railway (one of the constituent companies of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) in April 1848.[1] The branch to Castleford (Cutsyke) & Methley Junction was completed the following year (on 1 December) and a pair of short curves were subsequently constructed from the eastern end to link up with the Swinton & Knottingley Joint line following its opening in the spring of 1879. One of these was used by passenger trains between Leeds & Pontefract Baghill until 1964, although it has since been lifted. The Wakefield to Goole passenger service was withdrawn on 2 January 1967[1] (although trains to and from Goole continued, running instead to Castleford & Leeds) but the line remained open to carry coal to the power stations to the east of Knottingley. Services on this route were subsequently restored in May 1992.
There is an hourly service from Pontefract Monkhill operated by Northern Rail to both Leeds and Wakefield Kirkgate in one direction and two trains per hour to Knottingley in the other. Only one train a day now runs through to Goole.
Sundays there is a two-hourly service to Leeds and Knottingley.
In January 2009, open access operator Grand Northern was given the go ahead by the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) to operate a service between Bradford Interchange and London Kings Cross [2] which will call here (giving the station a regular service to the capital for the first time). Three daily paths in each direction were allocated for these new trains, although one morning northbound service used a different route between Doncaster & Wakefield and consequently did not call here.
The service is operated and branded by Grand Central, using refurbished Class 180 units, and started on 23 May 2010.[3] However, according to a recent document submitted the ORR, only 15 passengers a day (on average)[4] are making use of the new service.
The timetable has though been altered to serve Mirfield in addition to the other intermediate stops since December 2011, although only one of the three northbound trains actually serves both this station and Mirfield (the evening departure from Kings Cross is routed via Adwick & Fitzwilliam and so doesn't call here, whilst the morning one calls but omits the Mirfield stop).
As of 2015, there are 3 southbound services and 2 northbound services per day on weekdays. On Saturdays this is increased to 4 southbound services but reduced to 1 northbound service. There is no Grand Central service on Sundays.[5]

text: Ok, I've seen too many threads about feminism and hating on homosexuality and more and I'm sick and tired of all to the people who want to oppress others. So, stop complaining. Why not treat everyone with respect? A little respect goes a long ways. Homosexuality is no disease, it's a sexual orientation. Just because you aren't homosexual doesn't mean you others can't be. For feminism, I see way to many posts that are whiny and have the underlying message that they want women's to be treated better than men. They should be treated equal. Also, don't just argue the same points, develop on an argument. Everyone should be treated equally. Except trolls. Trolls are to be treated as you see fit.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Sweden's Princess Madeleine engaged to New York banker, wedding planned next year
STOCKHOLM - Another royal wedding beckons in Europe: This time it is Sweden's Princess Madeleine who is getting ready to tie the knot.
Madeleine and her U.S.-British boyfriend Christopher O'Neill announced their engagement on the royal palace website on Thursday.
The 30-year-old Madeleine is the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children and is fourth in line to the throne.
The tabloid Expressen reported early Thursday that O'Neill, a 38-year-old financier she met in New York, had proposed to the princess, and the couple confirmed the news in a brief video clip posted on the royal website.
"Chris proposed to me in New York at the start of October, and we are very happy," Madeleine said in the video, which was recorded Wednesday at the Drottningholm Palace outside Stockholm.
"Madeleine and I have known each other for two years and I recently summoned up the courage to ask her to marry me. Thankfully she said yes," O'Neill said in English with a British accent. He added a few words in Swedish, saying he was trying to learn the language "but it is difficult."
Madeleine said the wedding would take place in Sweden in the summer of 2013, and that more details would be released later.
Madeleine lives in New York where she works for the World Childhood Foundation, a non-profit founded by her mother.
In 2010, she broke off an earlier engagement after media reports that her then-fianc� had cheated on her.
O'Neill was born in London and holds dual American and British citizenship, according to a CV released by the royal palace. He studied at a boarding school in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and holds a bachelor's degree in international relations from Boston University and a master's degree from Columbia Business School in New York.
O'Neill now works as a partner and head of research at Noster Capital, a hedge fund with offices in London and New York. His interests include Alpine skiing, tennis, golf, music, literature and the Chelsea Football Club in London, the palace said.
Madeleine's elder sister, Crown Princess Victoria married her former fitness trainer Daniel Westling at a lavish ceremony in Stockholm in 2010. The couple had a baby, Princess Estelle, this year. O'Neill accompanied Madeleine to Estelle's baptism ceremony in May.
The Swedish royal family has only ceremonial duties, such as attending award ceremonies, promoting Swedish businesses abroad and supporting charities and foundations. As the head of state, the king also receives foreign dignitaries on formal visits to Sweden.
News of Princess Madeleine and O'Neill's engagement comes just days after another royal union was celebrated in Europe. Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Belgian Countess Stephanie de Lannoy were married Saturday in the tiny duchy's Notre Dame Cathedral.

Day after day, this organization fights fr the lives of animals destined to a horrific death by gas chamber. It's non-stop. Everytime they manage to take pictures of anumals, get them posted and literally beg for fosters, adopters, rescues, for any one to help them out in any way imaginable, they SOMEHOW pull it off. I understane they have a great following and many prayers are sent to help them save all those beautiful animals, prayers are often not enough. And yet....they struggle and fight ti make it happen. And just when everyone breaths a sigh of relief knowing what they have accomplished. The sheltters are full again, There isn't a days rest. Animal Aid for Vermilion Area are an AMAZING cohesive group of people that are undaubted by adversity. I am cannot begin to tell you the lengths they went to, to make sure the 2 dogs I adopted from them arrived safely from LA to CO. Because of their dedication I am blessed everyday with two funny little dogs from Louisiana. May God continue to Bless their endeavors!!

Wall oven question
I think this board gets more "traffic" than the Appliances forum.
I posted a question there (see link below) but it is not exactly an "appliance question" but more of a design or lifestyle question.
Could you please click on the link and give me your input (wither here or on that thread)?
Here is a link that might be useful: My oven size question
I had a 27" for the last 20+ years. The was the size that was here when I bought the house, so resale wasn't a problem for me. But I am putting in a 30" in my remodel. I bake a lot and am looking forward to it. Baked a lot in 27" too.
I guess, my advice is --do what you thinks works best for you. If you need storage, get the size that saves room.
Was that house in the US or Europe?
I know that 24" and 27" models are very popular in Europe. (Who there has the "real estate" for a 36" oven, right???)
And your screen name suggest you might be German. :-)
The widths difference between the 27" and the 30" ovens is not very noticeable. It is the height that might make the 27" one look "too small" for some buyers.
Perhaps, I am over-thinking it. I guess, in the worst case, I can replace it with a regular (inexpensive but new and shiny) 30" oven, when it comes to selling the house, and take my oven with me... LOL
I *love* you folks for telling me what I wanted to hear! :-)
When we bought this house, it had a full-size oven which broke after three years of hardly being used but it was ~10 years old. I was not doing much entertaining at that time and never used it to full capacity, so to speak. It felt weird baking a small casserole in it.
However, because of the face frame for the new oven, there is no going back if I want to replace it later. That is why I am uneasy about deviating from the "standard".
That is why I would like to hear some arguments why I *should* go with the 30" oven.
Go with the 30". We originally had 27" double ovens in our kitchen which was the standard size at the time. When those were on their last legs and needed replacing, we discovered there was a limited choice for 27" ovens and many of them were still a 1/4 to 1/2 inch bigger than the size of our wall cavity. We weren't planning an entire kitchen remodel and didn't want to have to change all of our custom kitchen cabinetry (impossible to replace or match) just because we needed new ovens. There ended up being exactly one brand of oven that worked. Fortunately, we liked it, but there are a lot more choices if you go with 30".
Honestly, I would get the 27 in and the big drawer. 30in is too much real estate to sacrifice for resale concerns. If you won't use it a lot, get the drawer.
Good point!
I had a similar problem when the appliance that came with the house broke one after another and the new appliances wouldn't fit in the openings. I lived - literally - with big "holes" in my cabinets for several years. So I knew better than having a 27" cabinet in this remodel, LOL.
My oven cabinet is 30" wide and has a 31" height "allowance" for a full-size oven so it would fit most 30" single ovens, regardless of country of origin. But I can put a smaller oven there by using a face-frame.
Yes, I feel the same way that a 30" drawer is too much to sacrifice for some elusive benefits, especially when I don't have enough drawers.
Well, I guess that's settled then.
Thank you, everyone!

Thermador Freedom Freezer--Can't Get Ice Working
We just had our Thermador Freedom Frig and Freezer installed. We can't seem to get the ice maker to work. Our contractor says the water line is hooked up and we pushed the ice maker button to turn it on but no luck. I'm hoping there is a simple solution that we missed--like a switch that needs to be flipped??? I looked at the directions but didn't find any additional information.
You didn't say which models you have but I've installed a few of these.
1. you need to see the word ice in the control display.
2. your bucket needs to be locked in place and fully pushed back.
3. most Icemakers won't produce ice until the Freezer has been running several hours. I usually tell my customers that they wont see ice until 12+ hours have passed. The Freezer need to get cold enough for ice and the icemaker needs to cycle a couple times before water gets to it.
4. the Freedoms seem to make their fastest ice production when the freezer is set for -4ºF. At least thats what their techline told me.
5. Is the water actually turned on?
6. Is the filter fully turned and locked into place? I have seen a couple units where the filter was not fully turned to lock and that shuts the water off.
I hope this helps
Jakvis--thank you for your response. We have the T24IF Freezer column. I'll double check that the bucket is locked in place. It seems like it is pushed back all the way. I'll also check the water filter--I didn't even realize it had that. My contractor is going to double check that the water valve is on later today, but in the meantime, I'll try the tips you mention. Thanks again!
The ice bucket can seem like it's back all the way and still not trip the button that will release ice. To make sure, get dow so that the ice bucket is at eye level and look through so you can see the back wall through it. There is a horizontal switch that is triggered to let ice release. Make sure you can see it flip as you puah the bucket in. You may be able to feel the bucket lock into place too. It might seem like a second stop.
Lascatx--thanks for the additional info. Yes, I got it working. I'm not sure if it was my turning the water filter cartridge or pushing the ice bucket back--but we have ice. I'll take a look again at what you suggested with the ice bucket--just to see what you mean. I hadn't seen your post when I messed around with everything. But I'm glad to have all of these tips! Thanks so much!!
Glad you have ice. I think the drawer not being far enough back is the number one problem. It has to click into place, not just glide back, for the ice to dump. If the drawer is full or nearly, it doesn't matter so much, but when my son takes his galon water jug to band practice every day, it matters a lot by the end of the week.
I purchased a freedom freezer in August. The icemaker never
worked. I had to wait for 6 weeks to get a new icemaker.
When it came the technician told me the cable for the icemaker was not hooked up to power.
There is a cable near the filter that has to plug in.
I hope this help.
My freezer column is about 5 years old - stopped making ice - changed filter and still not making ice - any ideas?

On July 22, 2014, Bancroft secured a unanimous victory in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Asbestos Personal Injury Plaintiffs v. The Travelers Indemnity Company, No. 12-1094. Reversing a February 2012 decision by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the Second Circuit ordered Travelers Cos. to pay more than $500 million to people who suffered from asbestos-related diseases. The settlement stemmed from Travelers' insurance of the bankrupt Johns-Manville Corporation, an insulation manufacturer, which the plaintiffs believe exposed them to asbestos. The Second Circuit's ruling reinstates a 2011 U.S. Bankruptcy Court decision in favor of the claimants.

We are very excited to be providing a soundtrack to Klip Collective's "Nightscape: A Light & Sound Experience" at Longwood Garden's this summer.
November 24, 2014 Kennett Square, PA – Longwood Gardens, one of the world's great display gardens, will debut Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience in summer 2015. Nightscape takes guests on an immersive evening journey around the Gardens where they will encounter moving imagery and light choreographed to music and brought to life by the natural canvas of Longwood's plants, leaves, trees, and lakes. Created by Klip Collective of Philadelphia, this innovative display is Klip's first garden-wide installation and will showcase never-before-seen views of Longwood at night.
"Longwood Gardens is thrilled to present Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience," said Executive Director Paul B. Redman. "Using our Gardens as the inspiration and the canvas, Klip is creating an imaginative visual and sound experience. Our guests will journey through the landscape and encounter the beauty of the gardens in a new and memorable way, augmented by light, moving imagery, and sound," Redman said.
Nightscape will include seven site-specific locations around the Gardens, with each experience inspired by the Garden setting. Locations include the Rose Arbor, Large Lake, Flower Garden Walk, Topiary Garden, and the grand Conservatory.
"Our team at Klip is excited to present a body of work of this scale at Longwood," said Ricardo Rivera, one of the founding directors of Klip Collective. "This is our first opportunity to create such a transformative garden environment while incorporating original scores from multiple composers. From abstract reflections off the large lake to a projected animation on a giant Chinese Scholar-tree, Longwood will truly be an immersive experience on an epic scale."
Nightscape: A Light and Sound Experience opens July 1, 2015 and will be on view through October 31, 2015. Tickets go on sale March 2015.

A new non-profit group will be devoted to the famed Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail which cuts through Iowa and ten other states. The Lewis & Clark Trust is basing its national headquarters in Omaha. Spokeswoman Stephanie Ambrose-Tubbs says the organization's mission is to help preserve and promote the historic 37-hundred mile trail. Ambrose-Tubbs says, "If we want it to remain sustained for future generations, we need to promote it, to teach it and to protect it." One of the Trust's primary goals will be to nail down funding for the eastern expansion of the trail, known as the Eastern Legacy. She says raising money will be coupled with raising awareness for the historic trail as the top priorities.
"The Lewis and Clark Trust will focus a laser beam light on the trail through partnerships, educational programs and an outreach to the entire country and even beyond," she says. Calling themselves the Corps of Discovery, the group led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark took a two-year expedition from Illinois to what's now the state of Washington. Their remarkable journey began in 1804 and is documented along what is now the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. Ambrose-Tubbs says the trail is an important part of American history and the story — and the trail — need to be preserved for future generations. "So that students are continually learning the lessons of the expedition, the ones that it teaches us about teamwork, leadership and enlightenment science," she says. The trail stretches from St. Louis, Missouri to Oregon.

A Bike and Trails expo is being held this evening, in Atlantic. Dave Chase with the Nishna Valley Trails group says it's an opportunity for the public to learn about bike trail development in the area, along with the potential for economic development as a result of progress on the trails, and wellness benefits. The evening begins with a guest speaker. Mark Wyatt, Executive Director of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition (http://iowabicyclecoalition.org.) will speak with regard to bike trails throughout the state, and bicycle safety. Chase says Iowa is one of the leading states for mileage of recreational trails in the country, due in large part to the enthusiasm for bicycling, with RAGBRAI sparking a great deal of interest in the sport.
Chase says the Iowa Bicycle Coalition was developed to promote those types of activities, and to establish legislation designed to enhance those types of projects, along with safety education." He says an update will also be made available during the expo, on the status of extending the bike trail from the Schildberg Recreation Area to the trail head just west of Highway 71, northeast of Atlantic. The public is invited to provide input on those plans, as well. Chase says it's hoped the expo will reach those persons whose bikes may have been idle for a long time, to show them what trails are available in the area, that they are safe, and how to ride safe. He says they don't encourage people to ride on the county roads and highways, unless they are experienced riders. Chase says that's also why it's important to develop safe routes.
The expo will feature displays, refreshments, door prizes…including the giveaway of two bikes…and displays of unusual bikes. It takes place at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic, beginning at 7-p.m. There is no charge for admission.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For fresh food connoisseurs May means the opening of farmers markets and with an early spring this year some produce may be ripe and ready ahead of normal. Iowa's biggest farmers market is in downtown Des Moines, where nearly 40,000 people attended opening day last year. Manager Kelly Foss says this year's opening on May 5 should equal or better that turnout. The market has grown to about 20,000 visitors each Saturday morning May through October. Foss says she sees a surge in interest in meat producers and makers of gourmet cupcakes and muffins. Nationally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports the number of farmers markets has climbed in the last decade to more than 7,000. The Iowa Department of Agriculture lists more than 240 farmers markets in the state.
IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa economic development officials are reviewing whether to continue a $2.5 million investment in a startup company pitching a groundbreaking fertilizer technology in Menlo, after learning jurors once found its chairman had misused investor money in another energy project. Court records reviewed by The Associated Press show SynGest Chairman Serge Randhava was found in 2008 by a jury in Illinois to have committed civil racketeering and fraud with associates in connection with $500,000 invested to develop a fertilizer technology. A judge vacated the verdict in 2009 when the case was settled. Randhava denied wrongdoing and said the case was one part of a messy, high-stakes business litigation. Two Iowa Power Fund Board members who voted to invest in SynGest say they were unaware of the case and would have investigated the details.
In January, Iowa economic development leaders notified Syngest that it won't get a $2.5 million grant unless it successfully lands investors in a proposed $130 million biomass-to-ammonia plant to be located in Menlo. The company seeks to make fertilizer using corn cobs and other corn residue. Company leaders promised huge returns: hundreds of jobs in Menlo, a new revenue source for farmers selling corn cobs and cheaper, more sustainable fertilizer. Eventually, they envisioned 20 such plants in Iowa.
The California-based company had pledged to attract $3.5 million in investment in the plant by Oct. 1st, 2011 in the plant, but by Jan. 17th, 2012, had failed to do so. The company cited difficulties attracting investors amid a slow economy. In January, state officials gave SynGest 30 days to raise the money or lose the aid. SynGest soon said it had the funds, and provided proof of their deposit in a bank account. SynGest says it will soon begin engineering and design work and start asking for reimbursement from its state aid, although it hasn't yet.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley is welcoming the U.S. Labor Department's decision to withdraw a much-criticized proposed rule designed to protect children who work on farms. Grassley released a statement Thursday evening expressing relief at the Labor Department's decision to abandon what he called "ridiculous regulations" that could have hurt farm families. In announcing it was dropping its proposed child labor rules Thursday, the Labor Department noted it would not pursue the matter during the duration of the Obama administration. The agency says it will work with groups such as the American Farm Bureau Federation and Future Farmers of America to reduce accidents involving young people. Federal officials earlier had argued new rules were needed because farming is one of the nation's most dangerous occupations.
As Cass County officials consider the role its secondary roads crews play in the removal of trees from roadside ditches and the clearing of ditches near County Right-of-Ways, to allow for better water flow and fewer obstructions along the roadways, the Board Supervisors were told by County Attorney Dan Feistner, Wednesday, that the County has the responsibility to handle the task, but the costs to do so can be levied against the property owner. Feistner cited Iowa Code Section 311.32, which pertains to the Administration and maintenance of roads in spelling out the County's role. The Code says the fact that a right-of-way is donated by property owners for the establishment of a road or a portion of the cost of a road improvement is paid by property owners, does not preclude the Board of Supervisors from exercising its responsibility over the roads as secondary roads.
Questions have recently been raised recently over the responsibility private property owners have in clearing roadside ditches, versus what the County's responsibility is, and whether or not the County can assess the costs to the affected property owners. Supervisor Chuck Rieken said when the County has cleaned the ditches in the past and removed trees, there was an understanding it would also take care of the initial spraying for noxious and obstructive weeds. Rieken says from that point on, the County intended for the property owner to take responsibility for taking care of the ditch. If the property owner allows re-growth of trees and weeds, he says it should be their responsibility to take care of it.
Rieken says the same thing applies to soil erosion. The County, he says, has never assessed individual property owners for the cleaning-up of soil erosion that fills ditches and creates problems, but it might need to take a look at that, as well. He says in previous years, the County has forked over up to $200,000 per year to clean-up the ditches on a recurring basis, because some landowners aren't taking care of the problem. He says it would be nice if people would take care of their own ditches, and lessen the burden on their fellow taxpayers. Supervisor Frank Waters said part of the problem is with absentee land owners and their tenants, who don't feel it's their responsibility to clean the ditches.
Feistner says more research needs to be done on what ordinances other counties may have in place to deal with the ditch issues, before any action is taken in Cass County.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is calling on volunteers to help cleanup a dozen state parks this weekend. Ashley Anderson, with the DNR, says Iowans will be asked to perform a variety of tasks to prepare the parks for another busy summer. The work will include trail cleanup, collecting litter and trimming of trees and bushes. The DNR has been relying more on volunteer help in recent years to maintain state parks as the agency's budget has declined. The so-called "Spring Park Blitz" scheduled for this weekend is organized by DNR AmeriCorps members.
"The volunteers will work right along side our AmeriCorps members," Anderson said. "The AmeriCorps members will be there to supervise or manage the volunteers." In the event of inclement weather this weekend, some of the park cleanup events could be postponed to a later date. Iowans who are interested in volunteering are encouraged to contact Anderson by phone at 515-281-8300 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Area "Spring Park Blitz" times/locations:
April 28th -
Lake Anita State Park: 9-11 a.m.
Lake of Three Fires State Park: 10 a.m.-noon

Have you ever wondered how the pioneers made their own rope or dipped their own candles? Maybe you have even thought about trying your hand at spinning wool. If so, you should come to the Hitchcock Pioneer Skills Festival. The Festival will be held on Saturday, May 5th at the Hitchcock House, which is located 6 miles south of Atlantic and 1.5 miles west of Lewis, IA. The festivities will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. You will have an opportunity to visit the historic Hitchcock House and see many of the skills and crafts that people of the late 1800's used in daily living.
You could begin your visit with a tour of the Hitchcock House that is also a National Historic Landmark. This two-story home was built in 1856. It features thick sandstone walls, window seats, native hard wood trim and a secret room that hid runaway slaves. The secret room is located in the basement where there is also a stone fireplace where the slaves could cook food and keep warm. It is said that the famous John Brown preached around this fireplace. Head to the barn, where the hub of the festival activities will take place. Once you make it to the barn you will be able to observe the skills and crafts of the past and even try your hand at a few of them. There will be rope making, candle dipping, tin punching, and woodcarvings.
Don't miss out on this exciting day! The festival will be held rain or shine. Families are encouraged to come and share the day together as they might have in the 1800's. There is a $5 fee for a tour of the Hitchcock House. All activities in the barn are free of charge; donations to the Hitchcock House will be accepted.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Outdoor enthusiasts and business groups are forming a new group to promote hunting in hopes of reversing declining interest in the activity. Iowa Retail Federation President Jim Henter says hunters spend more than $288 million in Iowa every year and have a big impact on the state's economy. Iowa Department of Natural Resources Director Roger Lande says part of the hunting decline has been because the state has had a series of harsh winters that cut into wildlife population. Last year's mild winter could help that population.
Lande says a loss of habitat also has contributed to the wildlife decline. Statistics from the DNR bear out the trend, with the number of hunting licenses issued in Iowa dropping for 10 straight years.
