Starbeck is an area of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England. It has many facilities, including Starbeck railway station, which serves the Harrogate line. Frequent services depart to Harrogate, Leeds and York.
Starbeck village was originally part of the ancient Royal Forest of Knaresborough, which is situated to the south of the River Nidd. It is north of the Rivers Wharfe and Washburn, and west of Blubberhouse Moor. The village traces its source in swamp ground between Knaresborough and High Harrogate. The 'Star Beck' flows into the Crimple Beck and Nidd, then into the North Sea. The Forest Lane level Crossing in Starbeck was used by Yorkshire Television for the filming of a scene in the Beiderbecke Affair. This is because besides tracks, access roads and the Middleton Railway, there are no level crossings in Leeds. Starbeck also featured in a 1989 episode of Yorkshire Television's The New Statesman starring Rik Mayall.
The railways come to Starbeck[edit]
The railway came to Starbeck in 1848. The railway buildings gradually increased and with them came a corn mill, malt house and water bottling plant. The population expanded rapidly in this period, most families owing their livelihood in some way to the railway.
Decline of the railways[edit]
In the 1950s the decline set in. In 1951 the Pateley Bridge line closed to passengers and the loop line to Pannal (under Crimple Viaduct) closed completely. In September 1959 the engine shed and marshalling yard closed. In 1967 the passenger service to Ripon was withdrawn.
The last goods train travelled the old Leeds to Thirsk railway line from Starbeck to Northallerton on 9 October 1969, leaving only the current Harrogate Line. By 1969 the station was no longer manned and the station buildings, goods shed and coal depot were demolished in 1978.
Starbeck today[edit]
The High Street has many shops including chemist, post office, butcher's shops, general stores, a car dealership, motorcycle sales shop, numerous fast food take-aways and a chimney sweep who sells wood-burning fires. The many shops in the High Street and several small industrial areas are all close by, surrounded by residential developments.
Taylors of Harrogate's Yorkshire Tea factory and Bettys Craft Bakery are within Starbeck. There is a major supermarket, Morrisons, in Starbeck, together with large electrical retailers.
There are two public houses on the High Street - the Prince of Wales and the Henry Peacock (named after the master of the local workhouse during the 19th century and currently closed).
In 2013 Starbeck was again the winner of the Royal Horticultural Society award in the Urban Community Category.
There are historical public baths in Starbeck, building on the spa history of the area.

"I love the round edges and the design with shadows. The leaves on the personal picture was a beautiful touch. We were having a fairy performer for my daughter's birthday and this card was perfect for it! I love that the card emphasized my daughter's picture since the design was simply elegant."
"I loved this invitation for my daughter's first birthday. It was feminine without being too girly. I loved how i could customize the layout to suit the event. I wish there were a few more font colors to choose from, but overall it was money well spent. Good quality card, crisp lines, the colors stood out. I would definitely shop at tinyprints again."
"Simply beautifull!! Last year completely satisfied with a 1st birthday model and this year in love with my final product. Very easy to personalize it, great paper quality and perfect pearl finish paper...so delicate. Everyone loved it!!!"
"I have used Tiny Prints for a couple of events and I cannot complain. I just love the quality and the vibrant colors. I'm keeping one of these as a keepsake, for sure!"
"I received my cards on-time and was so impressed with the quality. Above and beyond this, though, I was so impressed with the customer service I received to help me design this card and customize it exactly like I wanted! It looked perfect upon arrival! I'm pretty picky when it comes to paper invitations for anything, and the designer went back and forth with me numerous times to make sure it was exactly the look I wanted. In the end, they were exactly as I pictured them, and couldn't have been any cuter! My daughter's first birthday party is off to a great start with these invitations!"

Home Theatre Wiring
Any other advice you can give would be helpful.
The gauge (size) of wire will mostly depend on the size of your speakers, the power of your system, and the length of the run. Low wattage, weak speakers, and short runs--thin wire suffices. (You could theoretically diminish a signal if you use too big a wire on a weak system, although I have not experienced it). High wattage, big speakers, and long runs--thick gauge wire.
The type of wire also depends on your budget. Monster cable is a recognized premier speaker wire because it is not only pure copper, but it is sealed from oxygen and will not oxidize and has premium connectors at each end. But it is very expensive: for long runs, the wire could be more expensive than the system. There are also bigger speaker wires that are not only sealed well like Monster cable, but also shielded from interference. On the low-budget end, I have used 16 gauge electrical cord wire (lamp cord wire) for speakers with great results and 18 gauge wire with adequate results.
If you do not have your system yet, or you plan to upgrade soon, but you want to wire it while the walls are down during a remodel so that you don't have exposed wires on your walls, then I would suggest not wiring the entire run, but instead just the short run from the spot on the wall to either the floor or the ceiling. You could even just leave strings connecting the speaker box to the baseboard or up to crown molding behind the wall. That way you can "fish" the speaker wire through the wall from the floor or the ceiling when you get the system. You can also change out the speaker wire as needed if you do not do the entire run behind the walls.

Trying to Bring Big-Media Ideas Into the World of Art Theaters
By ANNE THOMPSON
Published: July 19, 2004
LOS ANGELES, July 16 - At the premiere party last month for the documentary "Bukowski: Born Into This" at the venerable Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard, Todd Wagner looked out of place.
Wearing a vividly patterned shirt in a sea of black, Mr. Wagner, the Dallas-based Internet entrepreneur who with his billionaire partner Mark Cuban acquired Landmark Theaters last September, stood out from the crowd.
But that night, as the partygoers celebrated a decidedly out-of-the-mainstream documentary about a Los Angeles beat poet, in the barroom where Orson Welles once held court, Mr. Wagner was a major topic of conversation. The recurring theme was whether his acquisition of Landmark, the largest art house circuit in the country, was good or bad for labor-of-love films like "Bukowksi."
Mr. Wagner and Mr. Cuban plan to bring big-media ideas of vertical integration to the art house world. The new owners are importing digital technology to Landmark's 204 screens by equipping each of the 57 theaters in 21 markets with high-definition digital projection by year's end, Mr. Wagner said in a later telephone interview from his office in Dallas. He envisions producing low-budget digital movies through his HDNet Films, releasing them through his specialty-film distributor, Magnolia Pictures, projecting them on Landmark screens, selling them on DVD in Landmark theaters and broadcasting them on HDNet Movies, one of two high-definition television networks run by Mr. Cuban. Although the two men run different enterprises within their partnership, they both have financial interests in all.
Some in the independent film community fear that as Mr. Cuban and Mr. Wagner reach for this integrated, high-tech future, they will ultimately veer toward more commercial fare, putting a cultural resource at risk. Landmark helped spawn the independent film movement, nurturing the careers of filmmakers like John Waters, David Lynch, Spike Lee, providing grass-roots marketing and havens for movies like "Blue Velvet" and "She's Gotta Have It," and more recent hits like "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Doing little to assuage these fears is the fact that five top executives have left since Mr. Wagner and Mr. Cuban took over last September. "Landmark can't afford to make mistakes that change the perception of what these theaters have meant to audiences, filmmakers and distributors," Gary Meyer, a San Francisco exhibitor who was a co-founder of the chain with Steve Gilula in 1975, wrote in an e-mail message. "It is already tough for deserving movies to get opened, and if commercial films start to fill Landmark screens, it will get worse."
Mr. Wagner and Mr. Cuban, both graduates of Indiana University, made their first fortunes when they sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 2001. But the two men have very different public personas. Mr. Cuban appears to love the public eye, mixing it up with the public (and referees) as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks of the National Basketball Association. (He will also have a network television reality show this fall, "The Benefactor.")
Mr. Wagner is less well known. His 2929 Entertainment produces conventional movies like "Godsend" and the coming Steven Soderbergh production "Criminal," and oversees the digital production house HDNet Films, the Rysher Entertainment Library, Magnolia Pictures and Landmark Theaters.
The two high-tech entrepreneurs purposely chose these specialty venues for their experiments, Mr. Wagner said, to keep away from the studio conglomerates and their lucrative, separate windows for ancillary markets: international, television, pay-per-view and DVD.
"We are trying to learn the entertainment business as fast as we can," Mr. Wagner said. "We're not competing with major studios or theater chains. We're not changing one iota what Landmark stands for. We'll use technology to make it more efficient. We're experimenting for others to follow.
"I want to get product to those people when something is still current and they're still talking about it," added Mr. Wagner, who plans to add DVD and foreign sales divisions to his vertical entertainment empire. "We'll do right by filmmakers by enhancing revenues and lowering costs. The crux of this is efficiency. Whether it's Netflix , or Yahoo Store or Amazon in the virtual world, we'll figure out ways to distribute that product."
Some longtime members of the independent film world welcome the push for change. "We need new people who don't care for the same old same old," said Ted Hope, a New York producer. "We all benefit from new people coming in from different arenas."
But the concerns remain.
Landmark is a "missing element in the matrix of distribution," said Tom Bernard, co-president of Sony Pictures Classics. "If movies like 'Capturing the Friedmans' and 'The Fog of War' and films without distribution are taken off the booking list, that's going to be a real blow to the specialty marketplace. It is a very scary prospect."
Last fall the culture clash between old and new Landmark management came to a head during a meeting when Mr. Wagner blamed his chief executive, Bert Manzari, for a dip in box office revenue. Both Mr. Manzari and his chief operating officer, Paul Richardson, who started with Landmark nearly 30 years ago, had left the chain in 1999 when it was owned by Silver Cinemas International, which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2000. It continued operating in bankruptcy and was brought back to profitability after they returned in 2001. They left the company this May.
"We were reluctant to move with the rapidity they were requesting," said Mr. Manzari, who questioned plans to run digital TV commercials before movie trailers.
Mr. Wagner is not apologetic for wanting to move quickly. "What's the best way to leverage the technology?" asked Mr. Wagner. "There can be alternative content, other events certain days of the week. We want to attract filmmakers willing to try things. If we can bring costs down by experimenting with transporting movies from theater to theater, that's a win for everybody.
"Just because something has been a certain way forever, it's not the best way," he added. "Our goal is not to remake the exhibition business. These standalone businesses will help each other in certain ways. But you'd be crazy to interfere with the core successful businesses. We use technology as an after-burner to make the rocket fly faster."

Revenue splinters: Industry growth remains low as construction demand recovers slowly
IBISWorld's Fabricated Wood Manufacturing market research report is a comprehensive guide to market size and growth prospects. Our industry reports offer strategic industry analysis of the factors influencing companies, including new product developments, economic, lifestyle and demographic influences, distribution and supply chain factors and pricing issues. Full analysis accompanies our data forecasts to illustrate how the market responds to emerging industry trends.
The Fabricated Wood Manufacturing industry has suffered over the past five years due to weak demand from downstream construction industries and manufacturers. Industry revenue is estimated to fall at an annualised 4.4% over the five years through 2014-15. Falling demand for particleboard, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), timber veneers and plywood over this period has contributed to the industry's declining revenue and subsequent drops in domestic production. Industry operators are estimated to produce 1.5 million cubic metres of these products in 2014-15, down from 1.7 million cubic metres in 2009-10. Fabricated timber manufacturers have faced rising competition from import markets that can offer goods at lower prices... purchase to read more
A medium level of capital intensity characterises the industry. In 2014-15, for every $1.00 spent as wages, an estimated $0.22 is invested in capital. Larger manufacturers tend to be more capital intensive and invest in automated machinery and equipment. These firms can therefore benefit from greater economies of scale, which decreases marginal costs and increases profitability. Automated processes and computerised manufacturing techniques allow wood products to be cut to exact user specification with reduced error rates. Depending on company size, skilled employees are required to operate machinery and equipment; supervise production; cut products to size; apply adhesives to wood veneers; and complete other managerial tasks... purchase to read more
Companies in the industry primarily manufacture veneers and plywood, as well as wood boards and sheets from reconstituted wood fibres such as wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, timber slabs or off-cuts. Firms that primarily manufacture timber and non-timber laminates are also included in the industry.

how important is a slip?
I don't wear a lot of skirts and dresses any more. Can't remember the last time I wore a slip. Do people still wear these or have they gone the way of stockings?
I'm going to China in a couple weeks and it's really hot and humid over there so I bought a couple sundress/skirt type outfits for the days I'll be a tourist. Do I have to wear some kind of slip? Kind of defeats the idea of trying to keep cool in my mind. I'm thinking no slip but thought I should get another opinion on this.
Stand in front of the mirror with a bright light shining behind you (behind your behind, lol!) Can you see anything? Mainly, a slip is a good idea so we can't see what you've eaten for breakfast, so to speak! If the dress is opaque enough, you can skip it.
The other way a slip helps is to smooth things out. Clingier fabrics when worn over a slip glide smoothly over your curves in a flattering way. Again, your dresses may not require any further underpinnings if you're pleased with the drape of fabric over your physique.
Wow, have a great trip and let us know how you enjoyed China when you return!
I think the cycling shorts are a great idea, and would also keep the skirt/dress from sticking, given the nature of the fabric and how they fit.
As for seeing the outline of your legs, what's the big deal? Don't people think that your legs continue all the way up under the skirt? LOL They still see less of the shape of your legs than if you were wearing shorts or slacks.
In my case, my biggest worry isn't if my skirt would stick to me, I'd be more worried about my thick thighs sticking together. When I wear a skirt I always use culotte slips, but the bike shorts would work well too.
"Thick Thighs" say that 5 times real fast...lol. Ok, here's another - say "Unique New York". Sorry, I'm must be tired. I'm sure you will have a fabulous time in China.
Good to hear your opinions. I always thought the main purpose of a slip was to prevent seeing a silhouette in the sunlight - like that one famous picture of Princess Di. If I were wearing shorts you'd be able to see pretty much the same thing. So as far as that's concerned, I say who cares but who knows what's expected in China plus I'm traveling with some male business companions. Hadn't thought about keeping the dress from sticking to me - maybe that's worthwhile. Instead I'll have a slip sticking to me but I can see how that's better. I don't think I got rid of my slips - they must be somewhere. Guess I'll dig one out and bring it along.
I'm really looking forward to this trip but I absolutely hate heat and humidity. When I choose the timing of vacations I always go in the spring and fall. This is mostly a business trip though so no choice in the matter.
I wear dresses all the time. I always wear a half slip or petti pant slips. I don't like the way some dresses get caught on my underwear in summer, tights in winter. I'm murder on my slips though. If they are too long for a dress, I just cut them with scissors. I can always pick up more at the thrift store. Good luck trying to buy a new one around my hometown. They do not exist.
Another tip. There is a product called "glide" that can be found in sporting goods and running stores. It is packaged like deodorant stick. Its purpose is to put on areas of the skin that may rub together, to prevent uncomfortable friction. If you will be out and about walking in a skirt or shorts, this may add to your comfort.
I like the idea of a culotte slip or pettipants. I found one on Amazon that comes in beige, black and white, and can be cut to the desired length.
Here is a link that might be useful: Amazon pettipants
"If a person can see the outline of my upper thighs through my dress, then they can also see the outline of something else."
Oakley, unless your anatomy is significantly different than mine, I can't imagine what you think they could see? They could only see the outline of your legs if the light was coming from behind you - do you have a tail or something that also hangs down? LOL
What a nice thread when it to often seems camel toes and shirts for dresses is the norm.
I would wear a plain cotton slip - like what many summer skirts are lined in. Do they make those, lol?
All those bike shorts and white lacey things make me think of girdles and underwear. And hot.
"They can see the outline of your crotch."
What? I assume you mean they can see the top of your legs, and see where they end, just as they can in a bathing suit, pants, capris and shorts? Or does that mean you aren't wearing underwear either?
Natal, LOL!
Okay, parts of this thread are hilarious but other parts have been very educational for me. I have big thighs too (my friend calls it "Chub Rub" ... um, referring to herself, not me, but it applies to me as well) and it never occurred to me to wear bike shorts under a skirt, nor did I even know that culotte skirts even existed! Today is a big day for me!
Well, I did find a slip in the depths of my lingerie drawer. Only had one in there though - must have purged all the others and just kept one for good measure. It's so old it makes me wonder if the elastic in the waist will hold up - you know how elastic craters when it gets old. It seems okay. Maybe they made better elastic 20 years ago than they do now.
I never liked slips so now that I don't have to, I don't!
Usually, if I buy a sheer skirt it has a lining attached to it. But I'll only do the cotton lining - can't stand the slimy feel of polyester and the like. If it's too sheer and doesn't have a lining, then I don't buy it.
I do wear bike shorts under skirts/dresses in the summer because sweaty, sticky thighs (remember I'm in Texas) is just way too uncomfortable.
I'm thinking that China adds a whole new dimension to the slip/no slip debate. I say when in Rome or China as it were . .
Funny recent slip story: we were visiting in another state to attend DH's big high school class reunion. He hadn't seen these people since then many, many years ago. I had every outfit for the long, multiple event weekend planned out and packed, or so I thought. The night before the final, big banquet I discovered that I'd forgotten my slip! The outfit had a long (thin) dark silk skirt. I tried it on to see if I absolutely needed a slip and both DH & DD got big-eyed and said, "Yes, you definitely need one!" With only an hour available before we had to leave that next afternoon, we headed to the huge Walmart a block from our hotel. After searching the store for 15 minutes to no avail, I finally asked a sales clerk where the slips were. She said the store stopped stocking them two years ago because no one buys them anymore! OMG, I do and I needed one then! With no other stores close by, I went into a panic search mode. I finally bought an inexpensive, long, smock-topped slip-type silky dress and a pair of sewing scissors. Back at the hotel, I just cut off the spaghetti straps and about 14" off the hem and wore it around my waist as a slip. It worked out great, although I was very grateful it wasn't windy as we walked in from the parking lot. The sight of my hacked off "slip" was not a pretty sight (LOL)!
I'm with Kelly. I don't like slips!! I don't wear many skirts/dresses, but I love the skirts with the lining/slip attached.
I've not tried bike shorts in place of a slip.
Les, you are too funny!! Yes, we all have a "crotch" (male or female!) and you can see the outline in pants, bathing suits, whatever. Unless you are not wearing undies, I think you are safe!

Looks great- sounds great
Really pleased with kettle, which I bought purely on looks. Wasn't sure if it would be quiet enough, but I can actually hear myself think when it boils - unlike the one it replaced. Read in one review it couldn't be filled from the spout, but it can. Recommend.
By Caro95 on John Lewis - Mar 22, 2014
lovely kettle
shimmering kettle, looks great, seems robust, does the job well, would recommend.
By bb2014 on John Lewis - Mar 16, 2014
looks great against my white wall tiles.
Had kettle nearly a month, Fast boiling and quiet.Last kettle was a Russell Hobbs which we had just over 1 year.This one so far is better,time will tell ,like the top which comes off completely, easy to get water in and it is a good spout.
By INCA14 on John Lewis - Mar 4, 2014
excellent product
Pleasing to look at. Easy to pour and no spillages because of filter.
By Siobhan28 on John Lewis - Mar 4, 2014
Happy with Purchase
Lovely kettle and add a touch of glamour to the kitchen. One point to note as per other reviewers though is that this is a very noisy kettle and difficult to hear when anyone speaking when its boiling. Overall happy with purchase and would recommend.

Best phone I've ever owned. 4g it's strong even where my other phones were weak! Great screen and speed. Battery life is awesome! Congress to all my accessories. Worth every penny!
Hope it has longer battery life
By TKSN
from Los Angeles
Xperia S finally landed US officially, ICS runs very smooth, it has Walkman, nice display, takes good pictures. So far I don't see yellow tint on the display, Sony may have fixed it. But battery won't last long, i need to turn off data transfer to save power. Well, it is Android which tends to consume more power than iOS

Best Android Phone ever
By SaKa
from New Jersey
This is the best smartphone available in the market. Phone comes with GB and I update ICS which is available now. After ICS update phone is amazing. I do have Xperia ion and which is still not ready for ICS. After I own this unlocked phone I realized how cell phone carriers screw up the nice phone with their pre-installed apps and disable other smart features.

A thin, resonant drumhead intended for the underside of your snare drum.
You'll be hard pressed to find a drummer that doesn't recognize the name Remo. Founded in 1957, Remo has since built a strong reputation amongst percussionists and drummers, thanks to their ability to adapt to the ever-growing and ever-changing needs of players.
Although Remo is known mainly for their exceptionally durable drumheads, Remo's state-of-the-art designs and innovative prowess expands into many others areas of percussion and drumming. From djembe's and gathering drums to bongos, congas and even assorted shakers, Remo specializes in many unique areas of percussion that pertain to nurturing the abilities of younger rhythm makers. Of course, whether you're a grade-school enthusiast or a touring heavy-metal crusher, Remo is a name that players of all ages, genres, and skill levels can count on for outstanding craftsmanship and playability.
Remo has no shortage of highly rated options, and the Remo Kid's Rain Forest Hand Drum percussion set is a big seller. The winner of the Oppenheim Gold Seal Toy award for product quality, this set is perfect for educational purposes and even family jamming. For hi-hats, the Remo Quick-Lock hi-hat clutch gives players the ability to quickly change hi-hat cymbals with a lock-notch system instead of the typical screw off-and-on system. Functional and easy-to-use, you won't have to worry about slowing the show down when you're equipped with this tremendous clutch system.
Of course, we couldn't mention Remo without mentioning one of their remarkably crafted drumheads. The Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear Bass drumhead is a one-ply drumhead with a dampening ring, and a white impact patch to boost its lifespan. Incredibly responsive, this drumheads ability to improve sound is continuously championed by drummers of all genres.
The heartbeat of music lies in the hands of drummers of percussionists, which is why you need to ensure that the beat you're keeping is steady, and the drums you're hitting are capable of holding up through countless amounts of usage. With Remo, you're going with a name that can easily be found on the biggest stages and in the most legendary recording studios. So you can have peace of mind knowing that no technical hindrances will ever slow you down in the middle of an unforgettable performance.

Beware of the Love Bug Hutch & Buffet
I'm almost done with my Valentine decor. Amazing
how much I have now that I'm not decorating at the
office. I haven't been changing out the inside of
this cabinet but still like to help it blend with the rest
of the DR so added a few valentine things.
Photobucket is not playing well with others tonight
so I might had to do several posts to share all.hmmm
I left the snowflakes on this cabinet since I used my
Johnson Brothers Friendly Village on the lg cabinet.
I painted several of these Love Bugs in two sizes.
Here's the buffet all decorated for VDay.
Hope this will help brighten some of these cold days we
are having.
Stay warm and safe. Punk
Punk, Everything is so bright and cheerful. That is just what we need on these seemingly never ending winter days!.
The love bugs are just adorable did you paint them recently?
I love the foil trees and wreaths. In fact I love it all
I'm smilin!!!
This post was edited by nana2010 on Fri, Feb 7, 14 at 19:05
Darling, darling darling. (Your china closet is to die for, by the way.)
The love bugs are adorable. I like the bright colors on the XoXo and Be Mine signs.
Where'd you find the heart-shaped plates. Usually those kind of plates are smaller. I like the bigger size.
Nice job all around. Cheerful.
Your China Cabinet is looking real 'Spiffy'....and
I'm feeling 'The Love' !! XOXOXO
I agree those Love Bugs are adorable..
It's a treat to see bright and cheery decorations way after Christmas...
Sure helps get over the long Winter Blues.
I like the two signs too, and was also going to ask if you painted
them. I like all the Cute Valentine Couples...all 'Sharing The Love'. ! Lol
Like OA asked, where did you get the large V Plates ?
They're nice displayed and I can see them in a table setting too.
Thanks again Punk..for being part of 'The Gang'..who keep us going here.
I always enjoy what you do.
Nana, DD bought the pattern for the Love Bugs years ago.
She's had one in her BedR for years. I already had these
Love Bugs painted to give for Valentine gifts from before.
I had only finished adding wire to the large one, small ones
still need the hearts wired. So I placed the hearts randomly
on the lg china hutch.
OA, glad you like the china cabinet. I have the matching
buffet and tea cart to this one. Kinda sad but the tea cart
is hanging out in the garage at this point. We bought the
set of 3 for $300 and refinished them. They are Romweber.
DD brought me all of my Valentine plates I own. The name
on the back is Fresh Decor. Hope this helps.
Jane, I didn't paint the signs. DD gave them to me. Since
you asked about the plates also, I did a search and it looks
like they may have come from Safeway. If not my guess
would be she found them at Target, JoAnns Fabrics or
DD's such a great clearance shopper. She brought me
purple snowflake plates and a couple of polka dot sets that
will be fun to share sometime soon I hope.
Thanks for all the sweet comments ladies. Punk
Very 'whimsical,' punk! I esp am lovin' the buffet w/the XO's & Mine & heart plates & the raised candle undler the cloche & the cute lil' angel. Such a fun & cheery display!
Now, 'love bugs, ...I've never seen them before ~~ so they kind of just snuck into your display, I bet! LOL! They look to be happy lil' critters ... & lavendar colored, to boot! TFS, punk. what fun! Jeanne S
Jeanne, I always have fun while decorating. Valentine's
Day isn't just about roses in my world. Too many fun things
that want to come out and play! I thought I'd shared my
'Love Bugs' before on Holidays but maybe not.
Sooo happy you've come here to post again. May all
this decor help brighten your days while recovering.
We miss you so much. Hope your feeling better every
day. Thanks for all your sweet comments.

New York, which imposes its own estate tax on the assets left when someone dies, has more than doubled the amount that can be left free of tax. As of April 1, 2014, the New York estate tax affects only taxable estates worth more than $2,062,500.
The exempt amount will keep going up each year until 2019, when it should match the exemption from federal estate tax, which by then is likely to be almost $6 million.
One unusual feature of the New York estate tax structure is that if an estate is large enough to be subject to the tax, the entire value of the estate--not just the amount in excess of the exempt amount--is taxed. For more, see the article on New York Estate Tax.

Der Meke Gölü ist ein Ringkratervulkansee. In der Mitte des Kraters erhebt sich der Vulkangipfel einer späteren Eruption. Der See am Fusse dieses Vulkans ist stark schwefeldioxid- und salzhaltig. Die rote Farbe des Wassers kommt vermutlich von den Mikroorganismen die in diesen Wasserbedingungen überleben können.
Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.Text by Steve Smith.

Kitchen Backsplash Ideas
We're currently remodeling our kitchen and would like some backsplash ideas. Our layout is somewhat unique in that it doesn't have many wall cabinets. This makes it a little difficult to conceive of a backsplash plan. I'm considering getting 4x4 travertine tiles and outlining with 3/4" travertine pencil tile. I've attached a photo and am open to ideas. I'll likely remove the chair rail molding around the oven and would like to add a thin strip of counter to the left of the oven. Not pictured is the chimney hood that goes above the oven. I'm considering running the tile up to the hood for the width of the oven, but I don't want to run it taller than the base of the wall cabinet elsewhere.
Ahh sorry I missed that. Are you sold on natural stone? Personally I'm weird about 4x4s in the kitchen - they look so....bathroomy? That's just my own taste though. The Tile Shop sells rectangular travertine tile for pretty cheap. And if you ask nice or have a friend who is a contractor, you can get up to 30% off. Otherwise, I think white subway tile with dark grout would be pretty in there too, with your dark counters and white cabinets.
I agree that it might be a little bathroomy, but I think this style looks pretty nice:
I did see some photos with rectangular travertine, but I haven't been able to find that as cheap as the 4x4. I'll see what I can come up with. A brick-like layout might look nice.
That travertine is an entirely different style than what your sweet, simple, cottagey kitchen calls for. I don't have any experience with travertine but have read enough about it here to know it reads pink and you never know what's going to be in the box. I'll post your pic so others can readily see what you're considering.
Are you keeping the olive green walls? What is the floor?
Yes, the green is staying. There is a chair rail around the entire room and below that I've got a beige (BM Bleeker Beige and the green is BM Fernwood Green). It was all an awful glossy white before. I would like to add something to at least protect the walls from water and oil. I hadn't thought of white with dark grout. I'll look up some photos. Are you suggesting 3x6 glossy white subway tiles with matching bullnose around the perimeter? Another question I have is where the tiles should go? Do I need to enclose the entire space or just come up 5 inches from the counter? Do I need to create a backsplash all the way up from the range to the hood? How high should I go on the wall to the left of the range?
I appreciate the input regarding the travertine. Maybe it wouldn't fit the style. I'm going for a somewhat modern look. The range hood looks like this:

Oh and the floor is an old vinyl sheet made to look like stone or possibly travertine. I'm going to cover that up at some point. I haven't made up my mind about the new flooring yet, so I'm open to suggestions there. I'll likely have to use another vinyl because the floor is too uneven for anything rigid. Black and white checkerboard? Or a dark cherry wood color?
I considered glass at first, but the options in my price range are a little too colorful. White subway tile with black grout is starting to grow on me. I might just go with that. Now to decide where to put it..
I am planning to do white subway tiles w/ dark grey grout lines.
To decide exactly where I want the tile to be (and not to be) am going to take an 11x17 piece of white paper and draw tiles - actually the grout lines on it.
Then will make a bunch of photocopies and tape them to the wall - trying out different configurations.
I decided to go with white shelves with corbels on the right wall. I think that would offer some nice detail with a little more shelf space. Looks like my local big box store has unpainted wooden corbels and I could just buy a plank of wood with a rounded edge for the shelf. I think I'll bullnose the tile through there as tall as the bottom of the existing cabinet.
Your kitchen is looking great! It reminds me a bit of magsnj's kitchen. Here's the thread below where she was figuring out the backsplash and I wonder if a similar solution might work for you?
I'm not really seeing travertine in your kitchen.
Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen reveal almost completed not staged kitchen-need tile help
The breadboard is an interesting idea, but how would you seal that? I ordered 6.5" brushed nickel bar pulls for all the cabinets. I hope they aren't too modern for the style I've got going here. I generally see knobs on white cottage style kitchens.
White subway tiles at HD or Lowe's are cheap, just $.23 each ($2.76 per square foot). I think that back wall would look great tiled to the ceiling, and I don't think you necessarily need anything on the right wall. You might need something on the left wall by the range, though, and it might look unbalanced leaving the right wall bare. If you do the shelves on that wall, line up the bottom of the cabinet with the shelf and tile to the bottom of the shelf.
Thank you for the suggestions anenemity. While I'm tempted to go all the way up on the back wall I'd like to keep some of the green. I'm leaning toward going all the way from the right wall through the left at the height of the bottom of the wall cabinet except behind the range where it'll go up to the bottom of the hood. I'm going to try taping up some paper to visualize it.
As for the shelf just above the tile on the right wall. I wanted to use corbels, but I'd either have to place the shelf first and tile around the corbels or drop the tile to just about 5 inches above the counter. I'm afraid a floating shelf might not be strong enough for plates and ceramic dishes.

While Iowa residents were locked in a typical, weather-related tizzy during this long-awaited first snowstorm of the year, Harry Hillaker is not in a dither.
He has spent much of his life gazing at clouds with the wonder of a snowball-throwing child, the rest at measuring gauges and charts with the button-down exactitude of a scientist.
Hillaker, 45, is one of the most quoted persons in Iowa media because we care so deeply about the changing weather. The telephone inside the tidy cubicle of his Johnston office rings relentlessly.
In the last two winters, one of extreme cold and another of unusual warmth, he is often asked to explain the climatic puzzles that become fodder for conversations in coffee shops and on street corners.
In a soft, high-pitched voice he will explain that this heat wave or that flood is not very unusual, at least when you look into the files of recorded history.
Yet let him ramble a bit about the weather, and his excitement begins to show.
Storms, you see, have framed his life.
More than 37 years ago, the flakes came down on his face in Fort Worth, Texas, of all places, one after another until 14 inches had piled on the ground, a shocking, enormous event in a young boy's life.
Later that same winter, he walked home from school with his sister one day and stopped dead on the sidewalk, looking up at the black cloud overhead.
"I was so mesmerized by that cloud," Hillaker recalls.
C'mon, his sister said.
Kids began to run.
His mother pulled up in the 1955 Ford station wagon. He sat in the middle, the youngest of six kids.
The black clouds spit showers of hail.
"I was sure it would break the windshield," he said.
The trees were stripped of leaves. His dad's Fiat convertible was pummeled into a wreck.
"I was totally hooked on the weather."
He began watching the television weather reporter, remembering his name nearly four decades later. Harold Taft on Channel 5. Hillaker checked a temperature and rain gauge in his back yard and began to log the information every day.
Storms are filed away in his mind like family snapshots in a photo album.
He's in sixth grade. On the playground. Looking at the sky, wondering.
"I was watching the clouds, as usual," he said. "They didn't look too friendly. I ran over and told the teacher it was a funnel cloud."
"Oh, that's nice," she said, patting him on the head.
He looked again, more concerned, and tore off, chugging frantically, a lifetime of weather ahead of him, and found the principal. The principal, Hillaker said, knew he was a "weather nut."
"If Harry said there is a funnel cloud," the principal announced, "there is."
The funnel cloud touched down minutes later, the children hugging their knees safely inside in the hallways, having Harry to thank.
Harry, though, was a disappointed kid.
"I would have rather been outside watching it," he said.
Flash ahead about 20 years, past the graduate school in Colorado when he hiked in a very cool and scary electrical storm and the hair stood up on his head, past his marriage to Iowa native Michelle on a warm and humid day in 1981, six degrees above normal.
Past the honeymoon when they returned to the most damaging hailstorm in world history, as far as crop damage, which eventually became his three-year research project.
Past the seven years as research assistant, to his first year as Iowa climatologist in 1988. It hardly rained at all that summer.
Near panic gripped the state's residents, who watch the weather so passionately because of the ties to agriculture and the wild weather extremes.
Reporters called one after another all day, all summer. He dug through records and filed more each day, sometimes spending 48 straight hours in the office.
Unlike TV meteorologists, he does not provide short-term forecasts; he takes an historical view of weather trends.
Hillaker began to create a record-keeping system of uncanny efficiency.
In 13 years, said WHO-TV meteorologist Ed Wilson, Hillaker has never failed to return his calls.
"I can only remember him having to call me back once because he couldn't find the information. It's always at his fingertips," Wilson said. "I can hear him flipping through his books and ledgers."
Just when the media is certain they have the weather story of the decade, Wilson said, Hillaker will insist, "but when you average everything in ..."
Hillaker is a man of mellow appearance and relaxed curiosity who doesn't watch TV.
The backpack he bought new in graduate school has never been used. He tried golf a few times and thought it too time-consuming. This is not an extreme man and he doesn't promote it in the weather.
But the storms, he can remember those.
It's not long after the 1988 drought year, winter now, and a storm is rolling in. Michelle, who home-schools her family, is pregnant with the third of their six children.
The two oldest, a toddler and a kindergartner, are in the yard with their dad.
Dad is showing them the clouds and the arriving ice storm.
Michelle is looking out the window, "freaking out."
"When I married him, I didn't pay attention to the weather," she said. "But one thing I've learned from him: In bad weather he starts clearing a path to the basement and lines up everybody's shoes."
"If there is broken glass, he wants everyone to have shoes on."
While crouching in the basement, the family has the luxury of history at their fingertips. Hillaker has "millions" of weather records stacked there.
In the yard is a big rain gauge that looks like a milk can and a large thermometer that looks like a small TV tower.
His interests include climate and his family.
He combines weather conferences with family vacations. He packs the kids in the van and studies the long-term weather patterns of their destinations, yearly trips to 40 states in Voyagers and Caravans.
One year after checking the charts, they skirted insufferable heat of Texas by diverting to cool, sunny Toronto.
His oldest, Sarah, now 19, still recalls the weather maps she was given on the first trip when she was 3. Dreaded Nebraska was color-coded purple. California was a steady 72 degrees.
Weather was just always more interesting in Iowa.
That's why Hillaker is practically a celebrity here, if we have such a thing.
A conversation with him is inevitably and easily diverted from himself to facts such as these:
_ December 2000 was the snowiest in Iowa recorded history
_ Four winters in the last 20 are among the warmest recorded.
_ The high plains states, which include Iowa, have the most extreme weather in the world.
Hillaker pauses. He has to run.
The snow is falling, and he must earn his $65,000 annual salary from the Department of Agriculture.
He is a one-man office and mindful of state budget cuts, haunted by the thought that one day some state senator will ask why all these records are needed.
The telephone rings as he takes off his overshoes. A reporter wants to know February snowfall averages.
A lawyer working on a liability case (Hillaker calls them "slip and falls") calls next, wondering about the rainfall on a single day in 1995.
Hillaker wheels over in his chair, zips open a neatly marked file cabinet, and starts reading numbers, the snow melting in his graying hair.
He is remembering a rainstorm in 1995, his finger on the number.
