Dwindling DaysIn the blink of an eye
You're ten
Wanting to be thirteen
Now you're thirteen
Wanting to be eighteen
Today you're eighteen
Wanting to be twenty-one
The days slip by without your notice
Before you guess your thirty
Maybe married.
Family on the way.
'I still have plenty of time'
You laugh to me
Fifty years have have passed
Children grown up
Life half lived
'But now come the golden years'
You say
Seventy-five years come and gone
'Where did my life go?'
You say.
Days pass by without notice
And still time passes by.
RoxasI awoke in a townRoxas3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
That wasn't my own.
I was given
A name and a number.
That I was never meant to have.
But I was never meant to exist
My life wasn't real.
My friends weren't either.
I went through day by day
Looking for my purpose
I found it with her.
We grew close
And along with a third,
Became a trio.
We found solace
In one another
And peacefulness
That couldn't be found
In our supposed 'home'.
But then
It was all taken from me.
She was gone,
And he left.
I was alone.
So I left.
I left looking
For my missing friends.
I left trying
To find out who I was.
But I didn't leave
So easily.
I watched her die
In my arms.
I walked away
From my best friend.
Sora did exactly what was expected from him.
He battled monsters.
He defeated heartless.
He sleighed the villains.
But it was me
Who broke all the rules.
It was me
Who gave up everything.
My life was torn from me
To make way
For a kid
Who had everything.
He had the girl,
The best friend,
A life of his own.
But us nobodies
We're not mea

LifeI hate my life.Life4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I want to die.
Now I know
That life would
Move on without me.
But that doesn't matter.
I know
That my family
Would miss me.
I know
That we don't know
What happens after death
I know
It's a permanent solution
To a temporary problem.
Those reasons don't really matter to me.
It doesn't stop my way of thinking.
Suicide still sounds appealing.
People call me a coward
For running away from my problems
And maybe they're right.
But I don't see the light anymore.
And I just want to go away.
My life doesn't seem worth living.
My family would move on.
Things might now get better.
I believe we are reborn after death.
This 'temporary' problem has lasted years.
So I don't want to live.
I want to be a coward.
I want to run from my problems.
I want to die.
But for now
I'll hang on for a little longer.
Maybe I'll find hope again.
But I can't promise
That I'll always try to stay around.

Such a simple word
That has so much meaning.
We all have it
Even if we can't see it.
And we all give it to others.
So don't think you're unloved.
I can guarantee that's not true.
Someone out there loves you.
Even when you're all alone
Even in the darkest days.
Someone loves you.
When everything goes downhill
When darkness is all you see.
Someone loves you.
Someone always loves you
I love you.

No true brother

Gotten adopted

No true family

With problems to face
as i am now a adult
dont know where to go
and dont know how to cope
No true family
nobody understands
all my problems i have left

Inaudible ScreamWords.Inaudible Scream3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Fragile fragments our lives consist.
A piercing blade
cutting not flesh
but soul.
A whispering breeze
of hope
and melody.
Opposites of the same coin.
Seeds of growth and strength
but also of contempt and deceit.
Both serving as one
The conveyor of truth
and lies.
But of these two,
there is a third.
Greater, more powerful.
Yet gentle,
not of sound.
A kind healer
A heartless killer
The unseen side

Tear after tear
Take this life away
As she looks into the night
Waiting for Him to answer
as she savours the pain
With the teardrops falling
Cant it all end?
Loving the pain
Feeling so unwanted
With the tears falling
When will it all end?
Cut after cut
All the scars of pain
Tear after tear
running down her face
She prays to Him
Savouring the pain
She asks herself
When will this life end?

Staining the concrete
A maddening laugh
Rips through the silence
My heartbeat slows
As I watch my blood
Form a pool around me
You said you loved me.
You said cared.
When you said
You had a surprise
I didn't think it would be this
You know how I hate knives
Yet you stand over me
Holding one
Covered in my blood
Your eyes stare down at me
I can see insanity in them
And my death
It's getting harder to breathe
I cant do anything
But stare at you
As you smile at me
That smile that I used to love
Now makes my stomach turn
Everything's starting to go black
You lean down and kiss me
Your lips are ice
'I love you'
You say it so sincerely
But there's only more pain
Your voice
Saying those three words
That are supposed to make a girl happy
Are the last things I hear
Before everything goes dark
And I enter that eternal slumber.
You said you loved me
You said you cared
Then you caused me pain
And now,
Now I am no more.

Where your words of hurt, hurt none
Where your actions can't reach.
Where I am going

You will be more haunted by what you said
Than I am
Where I am going:
I will finally be free
Free from your words of hate
Far away
Far away from your actions
Far away from you I'll be safe
I'm finally going somewhere I know
That is safe.
Somewhere I will be loved
Somewhere you can't reach me
I am finally going to be safe
Far away from you.
And I never, ever, have to be afraid again.

That I can't see the hate burning deep inside?
You say you love me, but it's a lie.
A lie. A lie. A lie.
It's a lie, a lie, a lie.
You promised you'd be mine forever, but it's not true.
And now all we had is fading from view.
The skies are melting and raining dark tears.
I can see your loathing even as you whisper for me to come near.
Now all I hold dear is draining away.
Everything is hazy and turning grey.
What went wrong, why did you change?
Now all I see in you is rage.
Now I don't even know who you are.
What happened to the man I loved with all my heart?
The cracks are spreading.
I hoped this would be unending.
But it's all crashing down.
Breaking on the ground.
How did the avalanche begin?
Was your love really that shallow and thin?
Come back baby.
Don't betray me.
I still love you,
After all we've gone through.
I feel your scorching glance.
Oh, I'll give you one last chance.
I can't keep holding on if you try to break me.

What is wrong with me?
What is this strange sensation?
What is this new feeling running through my blood?
So cold.
So hollow.
So good.
I look down at your lifeless body.
Your mouth gapping,
silently screaming to the sky for help.
I drop the blade from my grasp.
I slowly look at my hands,
they begin to shake violently.
These hands,
the hands of a murderer,
the hands of a killer.
A pool of red surrounds your lifeless body.
The red glistens in the moonlight and
my reflection is seen in the pool of your blood.
I walk right next to your lifeless shell,
starring deep into your piercing green eyes.
Even in death you still plead for me to spare you.
This new sensation,
running through my body,
making my blood turn cold.
What is this feeling?
I place my fingers into the red pool,
dragging my bleeding fingers across my face...
What is this feeling?
I turn my body away from the corpse
and walk away like nothing ever happened,

If you find your heart is aching,
And then it seems to occur,
it's breaking in half,
I'll be there with the glue to put it back together.
If you can't take it anymore,
your tears are falling,
splashing the ground,
that's what my love is for.
And I'll be there for you.

So many innocents have died.
Blood on your hands.
It darkens the dessert sands.
Children's bodies baking in the sun to decay.
Darkness and terror are your evil reign.
Chemicals released to burn choking lungs.
If your women disagree you cut out their tongues.
Claiming world peace as metal tore and flesh melted inside.
Screaming we are the great Satan while stealing guiltless lives.
Hide in your caves and say you love your nation more as in city squares you commit fiery suicide,
While it is our soldiers who play with your children and will stand in your way so they won't die.
A mother screaming over the blood soaked body of her child.
Tell me, is this this your peace that wears a mask of murder as innocents are tortured and defiled?
Fear looking out of their eyes behind a veil made of caged slavery.
Are we the monsters when it is only us that fight for them to be free?

Hold me tight and don´t let go
Untill my eyes close

To Fall In LoveTo fall in loveTo Fall In Love3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Falling an uncontrollable force
Falling in to the unknown
Falling in to a trap.
Is falling a choice
Or must you allow yourself to fall.
Despite the consequences,
Internal and external scars.
We fall in hope someone will catch us.
Protect us from the concrete jungle that is life.
There is no guarantee you will be caught forever.
We only hope for this outcome,
Falling with your eyes closed;
To block out reality
To block out the fear;
To block out the truth.
Fall with one eye open
With a parachute,
Equipped with full body armour.
Is the risk really worth it?
All good things come to an end
So why begin the journey?
Falling in to a certified trap where
The only guarantee is pain.
Love is a transitory state.

A temtation so strong
I wish not to resist
Can I sleep
Rest in sweet peace
In your gentile embrace
I give in
Take me away

Managing a Hosted Web Site shows how to set up a web site on a host's server and perform common server tasks. Working in two web hosting utilities, cPanel and Plesk, as well as in a custom control panel, author Ray Villalobos explores purchasing a domain, setting up FTP accounts, and configuring web mail. The course also explains setting up password protection, creating a MySQL database, and working with subdomains.
Creating a subdomain is a great way to create a shortcut URL to different folders on your websites. And it's pretty easy on most control panels. We're going to create a subdomain for our blog which right now is at agelessclassic.com/blog and we're going to do it on Media Temple which uses the Plesk control panel. To log into your control panel, you can simply go to your website address and then put :8443, type in your login information.
So from here, we want to go to Websites & Domains and then we want to go to this bottom part right here called Add New Subdomain. And from here we want to type in the subdomain we want; in this case, it'll be blog. So the name of our subdomain will be blog.agelessclassic.com and right here we want to type in the document root. Now you have to include the web root when you do this. So in this case the web root is httpdocs and you want to put /blog and click OK.
Okay, the subdomain was created and now you can go to your website and try typing in subdomain. Knowing how to create these gives you and your clients a quicker way to get to different places on your website and it gives you a tool that you can use when testing new versions of your websites.
There are currently no FAQs about Managing a Hosted Web Site.

Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.
by Constantine P. Cavafy
Return often and take me,
beloved sensation, return and take me --
when the memory of the body awakens,
and an old desire runs again through the blood;
when the lips and the skin remember,
and the hands feel as if they touch again.
Return often and take me at night,
when the lips and the skin remember....

THE PUBLIC EDITOR; All the News That's Fit to Print? Or Just Our News?
Published: February 1, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
THE most important not-invented-here in recent weeks, and the one that crystallized the issue for me, was a story that ran in The Washington Post on Jan. 7. ''Iraq's Arsenal Was Only on Paper,'' by Barton Gellman, was so stunning a piece of reporting that it led Bill Keller to tell The New York Observer that it ''caused everyone who competes with [Gellman] a serious case of indigestion followed by admiration.'' In a conversation in his office last week, Keller elaborated: Gellman's piece, he said, was ''rich and subtle and deeply reported.'' I asked him why, if it was so good, it didn't merit a story in The Times recounting its main points, especially since The Times's own reporting on Iraqi weapons programs last winter has continued to suffer a hurricane of criticism. Keller said that trying to do a summary of Gellman's work for Times readers ran the risk of oversimplification -- that the nuances that made the piece so strong would not survive reduction to summary form. Gellman's piece, he said, was ''easy to admire, hard to represent.''
Or, as former Times managing editor Gene Roberts once said by way of explaining the difficulty of handling other papers' big stories, ''You can't steal an elephant.'' The necessary checking and re-reporting The Times had to go through to run its own version of The Blade's Vietnam story required several weeks. Tracking down Gellman's Iraqi sources might have taken years. Breaking through the fortress of exclusivity erected around Paul O'Neill by CBS and Simon & Schuster would have taken a safecracker.
But it's not as if The Times, and every other newspaper on the planet, doesn't consistently publish material it hasn't gathered on its own. When a district attorney announces an indictment, The Times doesn't assume it needs weeks to interview witnesses, check allegations or otherwise vet the prosecutor's charges. When a politician makes a speech, there's often so much taken at face value a critic could argue (and in my e-mail, many, many do) that the paper is shilling for the politician. Having read Barton Gellman's words for many years, why can't Times editors have as much faith in them as in John Kerry's, or Dick Cheney's, or the Santa Barbara County prosecutor's? They -- the editors -- may read The Washington Post. But how many of their readers do?
There's no question that the competitive electricity powering a news organization produces a great deal of benefit, just as it would in a soap company fighting for market share or in a research team trying to beat the other guys to a medical breakthrough. I understand why competition is necessary to inspire the troops. I also understand that Macy's never carried anything with a Gimbel's label sewn into it. But maybe The Times's insistence on stamping its own brand on everything it touches ends up diminishing what it delivers. If the goal of newspapering is to inform the readers and create a historical record, shouldn't the editors be telling us about everything they think is important, no mater where they find it?
I've been trying to stick to one theme in each of my biweekly columns, but as that may be more a product of vanity than necessity, I'm going to break the pattern here. Last Sunday's Times Magazine cover story on sex slavery, ''The Girls Next Door,'' by contributing writer Peter Landesman, has provoked a great deal of controversy, and the article's detractors and its defenders have made their cases forcefully. Go to www.slate.com/Landesman for a wide-ranging assault on the piece by Slate editor at large Jack Shafer and for a comprehensive defense by Times Magazine editor Gerald Marzo-rati. For those who missed it, a link to the original story may be found at nytimes.com/weekinreview.

About Crystalyn:
Inspired by her Pacific Northwest roots and the energy of American cities, Crystalyn Brennan designs custom handbags for women with a grounded and global sense of style.
Crystalyn's first encounter with the magic of unconventional style began with childhood Saturdays with her grandfather Jack. Dressed to the nines with his own odd flair for fashion, mixing red plaid with yellow argyle and donning his white perforated leather shoes and matching belt, Jack's choices were rarely understood and often mocked. Crystalyn, a kindred soul, took the time to grasp her grandfather's unique style. Nearly 20 years later, she used those same plaid pants and vintage floral fabric in her first collection, which was enthusiastically received by boutiques and press alike.
Crystalyn leads design and production for Crystalyn Kae handbags, drawing inspiration from quality vintage fabrics, rich color palettes, with emphasis on style and function. With bi-coastal bases in Seattle and New York City, she personally oversees hand craftsmanship, regularly visits retail boutiques, and frequently makes appearances at special events.

VANCOUVER - Saying she was inspired by trailblazing freeski pioneer and teammate Sarah Burke, Kaya Turski of Montreal landed the first switch 1080 by a women in Winter X Games history to win gold Thursday in ski slopestyle at Aspen, Colo.
Sitting third with a b ronze medal already assured heading into her final run, Turski said she went "all in and pulled it off." On a switch 1080, the skier takes off backwards of a huge jump and does three full rotations.
Her 95.00 score on the three-jump, three-rail course allowed her to unseat American Devin Logan (92.33) for her third consecutive X Games gold in a discipline that will make its Olympic debut in Sochi in 2014 "I'm always trying to push women's skiing as much as I can," Turski, who was mobbed by fellow competitors at the bottom of the course, said on a conference call. "The level is definitely getting really, really high, especially with the sport getting into the Olympics. It's amazing to be at the forefront."
She did the switch 1080 off the final jump, or "money booter as our team calls it because it's the last jump, you're going for the money." Turski became the first female skier to land a 1080 in competition last April at a Big Air competition in Austria.
Burke, the Squamish resident who had strongly advocated for women's disciplines to be included in the X Games and for her discipline of ski superpipe to be included in the Olympics, passed away earlier this month as a result of severe brain damage following a fall in training at Park City, Utah.
Every woman in the field Thursday skied with either or an armband honoring Burke. ESPN also planned to air a tribute to Burke at the start of its evening telecast.
"It's been a tough time," said Turski of dealing with the passing of the 29-year-old Burke. "This whole thing has been extremely tough for me. Sarah was always a huge inspiration. My decision to go for the switch 1080 was for her because she was always pushing the sport as long as she was competing.
"Now we're following in her footsteps and making her proud. She was watching all of us."

changing from wood frame home to stone vaneer
We have a 80 year old wood frame GeorgianColonial home and are tired of painting every 6 to 8 years. We are considering removing the wood siding and installing stone siding. Not sure if this is practical or doable. Anyone aware of any pitfalls in such an idea or what the process woud be in order to bring this about?
Cultured stone can be hung on just about any solid frame. But the inflation adjusted cost will likely equal repainting costs over the remainder of your natural life. Six to eight years seems too short an interval to require repainting. But I don't know your climate.
We are investigating the same thing right now. In the sunny South we're lucky to get 5 years out of a paint job so we're looking into removing the siding and continuing the brick veneer up the sides.
You will need to have solid footing for any stonework laid if you don't have them already. Something has to hold the weight of the brick or stone.

Campaigning for Romanoff in CD 6
The Colorado Statesman
Although Andrew Romanoff hadn't quite turned 48 yet, some 500 supporters showed up on Saturday evening in Centennial to wish him a happy birthday in what has become a traditional fundraising opportunity for the Democrat, who is locked in one of the tightest congressional races in the country this year.
Coffman hungry for victory in high stakes race
The Colorado Statesman
The skies smiled on the more than 400 supporters of U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman on Sunday as they gathered for what has become an annual tradition, a fundraising barbecue in the spacious Greenwood Village backyard of James and Joy Hoffman, who chairs the Arapahoe County Republican Party.
The Battle in the 6th CD
Romanoff versus Coffman
The Colorado Statesman
The contenders in what could be the most closely fought congressional race in the country clashed over immigration, federal spending and campaign finance at their first debate on Thursday morning, but it was one candidate's punt and the other's fumble that drew the sharpest barbs from both sides.
Making sure the votes count
Arapahoe County is pilot site
The Colorado Statesman
Arapahoe County elections officials worked out the kinks this week on a new way to verify the vote count, one that should increase confidence in election results and will be adopted by most counties in Colorado within three years.
Hick raked over the coals for his pipeline remark
The Colorado Statesman
The oil and gas industry leaders who filled the ballroom at the Colorado Convention Center on Wednesday were avid to hear Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper discuss the deal unveiled earlier this week to head off a clash at the ballot box over hydraulic fracturing, but it was an off-hand comment about the Keystone XL pipeline that set off a frenzy of denunciation from Hickenlooper's political opponents.

I am pretty picky when it comes to mid-week dinners. They need to taste good, be healthy, & not be too labor intensive. And by taste good, I mean that my kids actually need to eat them. What good is a recipe if your kids won't eat it & you are faced with the decision of making another meal on the fly, or making your kids go hungry until breakfast? I never see my kids in the morning before school. Because of where we live and how early I need to be in school every day, I leave before they wake up to avoid traffic & get to work on time. That means that the only time I get to spend with my kids is the few hours from after school until they go to bed. I don't want to waste all this time in the kitchen making dinner. I am willing to give up around 30 minutes, but that's it. What I love most about this recipe is how simple it is, and because the meatloaf is in the shape of a muffin, the kids think it's fun! All you need to do is throw the ingredients in a bowl, mix it with your hands, put in a muffin pan, and bake. Serve it in all its cute muffin-shape glory with a side of veggies & fruit and you have a perfect paleo kid meal.
Paleo Kid Meatloaf Muffin Cups
1 lb. ground beef or bison
meatloaf muffins
Paleo Kid Meatloaf Muffin Cups
1 lb. ground beef or bison
meatloaf muffins
2 eggs
½ cup almond meal
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
2-3 cloves minced garlic
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
These muffins are freezer friendly too. I usually whip up a double or triple batch to have some to put in the freezer for those nights when either meal planning didn't happen or I tried a new recipe that turned into an epic fail. (My most recent double batch made a dozen muffins.) I will also take 2 of these to school to have for a quick breakfast. I love seeing the looks that my student's give me when they see my breakfast Having a stocked freezer for emergencies is key, however I don't let my kids have the freezer foods ( chicken tenders , meatballs , sausages , nitrite-free hot dogs) until they take a few tasting bites of the new food first. What are some family rules that you use at the dinner table?
I hope you and your family like these as much as mine do! Let me know what you think if you try them.

DEFINITION of 'Private Buyer'
An individual or organization that is purchasing an asset and whose actions are not backed by a government or government agency. The private buyer is responsible for all costs associated with the transaction, and parties to the transaction can only pursue the private buyer for recourse in the case that there are problems with the transaction.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Private Buyer'
Transactions with a private buyer typically carry more risk than those involving a public buyer, which generally refers to a government-backed entity.
For example, a private buyer might be a company that is purchasing the mortgage of a property. Because the company is not backed by the government, it does not have the "full faith and credit" that a governmental organization would. If the company fails to make mortgage payments, the party that sold the mortgage will not have the recourse of seeking payment from the government.

The Baskerville Society is an active group with frequently organised events and other activities. This page will keep you up-to-date with all our happenings.
Cadbury Research Library | 12 December 2014, 1730-1900
The Cadbury Research Collection is held at the Edgbaston Campus of the University of Birmingham. This visit allows a rare opportunity to see a close hand one of the country's most extensive collection of original Baskerville material. Senior Librarian Martin Killeen will introduce the collection's treasures and members will be able to handle the material. Unlike a personal research visit to a special collection, members will be in the company of fellow Baskerphiles from many different backgrounds and can compare notes on their specific areas of interest. This will be the last Baskerville Society event of the year and will be followed by a meal at a nearby pub or restaurant (not included in the ticket price).

The Beauty of Letters: text, type and communication in the eighteenth century | 14-15 March 2015
The Baskerville Society is pleased to announce its annual conference.
In his preface to Paradise Lost (1758), John Baskerville described himself as 'an admirer of the beauty of letters'. This conference takes his phrase as a starting point to explore the production, distribution, consumption and reception not only of letters but also words, texts and images during the long eighteenth century (c. 1688-1820) This conference will consider how writing, printing, performance and portrayal contributed to the creation of cultural identity and taste, assisted the spread of knowledge and contributed to political, economic, social and cultural change in Britain and the wider world.

Kylie's Cleavage Contour Goes Wrong!
A "cleavage contour" enhances a woman's bosom and cleavage through shadowing with neutral- and dark-toned makeup. When it's done well, it can give the bust a fuller appearance. When it's done wrong, it looks like a bad day at the beach. This is what happened to model Kylie Jenner in London last month when she attended a photo call as part of her role as ambassador for Nip+Fab. And that is what makes this even funnier! Presumably she was using the Nip+Fab "Bust Fix" product, but the result was startling, since her chest was visibly two different colors.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! The Boy Scouts of America have recognized the importance of games in culture by offering a merit badge in game design for the first time. That's a plus for the game industry's mass appeal reach, and it also makes the Boy Scouts relevant in an age of new diversions for young people. The youth group has spent the last two years crafting a program to enable scouts to do the work to earn the badge. The group skirts the issue of violent video games by limiting scouts to making card, board, and dice games. But they'll be able to create smartphone apps and generally be eligible for the badge even if they don't code the game. Instead, they can write their ideas in a design notebook. They need to express their concept for the game and iterate upon it to get feedback from people. The badge requirements also include analyzing games, describing what's good or unique about them. It will also remind them of the "significance of intellectual property" in the game business. That means they won't be able to snatch somebody else's design and still get a merit badge. (Maybe this should be enforceable across the commercial game business?) The Boy Scouts of America will share more at the SXSW game expo in Austin, Texas. The Boy Scouts said, "Whether it's soccer, a family night board game, or a handheld electronic device—playing challenges us to overcome long odds, tell compelling stories, and work with or against one another. Games motivate both young and old to find creative solutions, practice new skills, and keep their brains active. Scouts who work on the Game Design merit badge will likely look at the games they play differently and with a new level of appreciation." The scouts have 2.6 million members between the ages of 7 and 21.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Stay on top of all our E3 2013 coverage here. LOS ANGELES — Ever since Sony and Microsoft took to the stage earlier this year to announce their newest video game consoles, people all over the Internet have debated which company will win the next so-called "console war." But Tony Bartel, the president of retailer GameStop, believes consumers will be the next generation's real winners. "You got three systems that the consumer has a choice with," he recently told GamesBeat at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. "And I think there's unprecedented innovation that's taking place right now, and game developers seem to be, based on our discussion with them, seem to be further ahead from a development perspective for the new platforms than they were last generation." Bartel is expecting innovations in gameplay as well as massive developments in the consoles themselves, and he ultimately believes consumers will reap the benefits. He also thinks gamers shouldn't overlook Nintendo's Wii U during the next-generation console arms race. "What we've always talked about on the Wii U is they need first-party big titles, which they talked about. All three — the Zeldas, Super Smash Bros., and Mario Kart — they talked about all those," he said. "They're coming out with their big guns."

White grout - am I crazy? Bill and others
So we went to Home Depot and Rona (a Canadian HD store) yesterday, and the grout that went best with our chalk white backsplash tiles was the white. I had considered going light grey like some of the other GWers, but it just didn't look right to my eye. A creamy off-white wouldn't work either because the tiles are a stark white.
Am I crazy to go with white grout - the Bright White from Polyblend shown below? The Rona guy said to apply a sealer to it. I'm just wondering what others thing about a) The look of the white grout with my white tiles (in person, the grout is slightly lighter than the tile colour) and b) The overall maintenance. Bill, your advice especially would be great here!
My tiles:
The grout colour is Bright White, and you can see the other polyblend colours here:
We used white subway tiles when we reodeled the kitchen 12 years ago and used white grout. The grout was never sealed, including behind the range and it still looks white. I'm not a clean freak and have never scrubbed it but it still looks great. I also have white grout in my master bath shower and guest shower and both are still white. The only place white grout hasn't held up well for me is on the bathroom floor. If I could do it over, I'd use a darker grout, but the walls haven't been a problem. I'll try to post pictures later.
Wow, what a lovely combination.
I'm no tile expert, but I'd suggest going with what you love as long as you're willing to do a little extra maintenance. I don't know how much a sealer is going to protect from things like oil splatters (if the tile is going behind the range), but I do know bill and others have suggested a product called aquamix for colouring grout. From what others have said about this product, it not only colours but also makes the grout easier to clean. So what I'm suggesting is that if the grout does get stained, you have some recourse.
We used Tec's Bright White grout for our splash, sealed it with a 15 yr sealer (Aquamix Gold?), and it seems fine.
We had some tile/grout discoloration over the range after running the range on high (maybe residue inside the oven burning off?). I cleaned the affected area with Oxy-Clean (I was told by Bill V. not to use bleach on grout), and it looked like new.
Other than that incident, I wipe down the splash on occasion (when I remember!) or if something splatters, using a paper towel or microfiber and a spray cleaner (Perfect Kitchen or Cinch). It's really that easy to keep it looking good.
Didn't Bill recently talk about using epoxy(?) grouts for tiled countertops? He indicated he didn't think these types of grouts were necessary for other applications but my Mom is a little phobic about the grout and to get her to go with 1x1 mosaic we went with one of these new grouts: AccucolorXT. If I recall correctly the sales person also said it didn't need to be sealed. If I was going white, which seems like a good idea, I would go with one of these "new" grouts. Place we got the info is a very respected distributor and retailer with highly trained staff: Centura Canada.
Here is a link that might be useful: Specs on AccucolorXT
My 13 year old white tile backsplash is grouted in white and I have had no problems with it looking dirty. I am not the most fastidious cleaner either. I think you'll be fine.
In my experience, this is a toss up...
The pure white grout will look
Way cool with the tiles -
Over time, like many have discovered,
The areas behind the stove/cooktop
Can show dirt & grease,
So know that you'll have to
be a lot more vigilant in keeping
The areas clean...
As far as epoxy goes, I think it would be overkill in a
residential application...
There are a number of polymers
That are avaiable, as well as many joint fillers
that have latex added into the dry mixture and get activated when water is added to the mix at application.
Bottom line ; white grout joints mean a little more work to keep 'em cleanm
My .02 cents worth
I don't think AccucolorXT is an epoxy grout but you can check out the properties versus "regular" grouts I really wouldn't know the difference. The one that caught out attention is that the stain resistance was built ino the grout so it couldn't be wiped away the way you could with a topical sealant. Other big thing was not having to seal groutlines over 15 linear feet of 1x1 tile - that sold me.
One other thing about epoxy is that the white usually seems to show a yellow tint, due to the epoxy matrix. It's the one color epoxy that I'd NEVER use, under almost any circumstances.
caryscott-- you're right. Accucolor XT is a conventional grout, albeit modified. it's not an epoxy.
Bottom line-- I agree with Budge-- go with what you like. If that's white grout, then use it!
Thanks everyone - Bill, Kevin, Cary, Catmom and all. Thank you so much as you've helped me make my choice! White grout it is (not the epoxy), with a sealer on top of it. I'll also look into the Accucolour XT, thank you for the referal Cary! Your mom's backsplash sounds like it's going to be gorgeous!
Hey Redroze,
I don't know from grouts but Tec (recommended by Catmom) makes AccucolorXT. I love Centura (they have locations all over Canada) and they are a distributor and retailer so you can benefit from all the expertise of their trained staff and on your way home drop into a retailer they supply and get a 10% discount. Not every retailer - some have quoted me more than Centura charges retail for product (I have used this to guage just how fair a retailer is - a number have failed miserably) but others will split the difference between the wholesale price they pay and the retail price Centura charges in the showroom with you. Centura still gets a sale so they still benefit. They are quite good about it as they are not full service - they don't do any installation. It is a joy to shop there as they are the antithesis of that sleazy feel you get in a lot of flooring showrooms. On a good day they will also give you the skinny on the retailers they supply - whose usually expensive whose not and how good their install services are.
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished backsplash, good luck with it.
I have been choosing from that exact group of colors (the samples I've seen are called "Custom Colors", but it is the same names and same colors. I'd just like to point out that the colors in the picture are (on my monitor at least) a lot darker than they appear in real life. I hope you are choosing from the sample set (which is very true to the dry grout color) and not from a picture. I have "Fawn" grout and in person it looks more like the color of the "Antique White" in the picture here. Several of those whites are pretty white (unlike shown here). However, if you have true white tile then the "Brite White" may blend with your tile nicely.

People get the government they deserve.
I just went through a few minutes and noticed that the list of guns is incomplete (no XDm that I can find) and only one caliber is shown in some that comes in various calibers. Caliber are wrong like, 357.00 millimeters for a .357 magnum or 40.00 millimeters for .40 cal.
