FOOTBALL: Now Hughes is set for heroes welcome; STRIKERS MOVE FROM SKY BLUES GOES THROUGH.
WEST BROM have smashed their transfer record for the second time last night after Lee Hughes finally agreed to return to The Hawthorns from Coventry.
Hughes has rejoined the Baggies in a pounds 2.5million deal and has signed a four-year contract which will keep him at the Hawthorns until the summer of 2006.
This deal follows on from Tranmere midfielder Jason Koumas signing for the Barclaycard Premiership newcomers in a pounds 2.25million deal earlier in the day.
Hughes, like Koumas, will go into the Albion squad for tomorrow's home encounter with Fulham.
The sticking point had been Hughes' terms as he was understood to have almost doubled his wages when he made the switch to Highfield Road in a pounds 5million deal 12-months ago.
But those differences have now been resolved and Albion will be hoping he can score the goals that will help them to stay in the top flight.
The former Kidderminster Harriers player enjoyed a prolific first spell with the club and Albion manager Gary Megson had been reluctant to let Hughes leave his boyhood heroes 12-months ago.
But now he is back in the fold and can expect a hero's welcome from the fans when he runs out at the Hawthorns against the Cottagers.
Both the Koumas and Hughes deals have beaten the previous record of pounds 2.1million paid Bristol Rovers for striker Jason Roberts.
An Albion spokesman said: "We can confirm Lee Hughes has signed for West Bromwich Albion for pounds 2.5million on a four-year contract after agreeing terms."
ASTON VILLA striker Darius Vassell is putting dreams of playing for England on his home ground to one side as he aims to help Graham Taylor's side take a further climb up the Barclaycard Premiership table.
Vassell looks a certainty to play some part for his country in the friendly international with Portugal at Villa Park on September 7.
But the 23-year-old is more concerned at present at helping Villa build on their first Premiership victory of the season against Manchester City in Sunday's clash with Bolton at the Reebok stadium.
Vassell, who scored the winner against Kevin Keegan's side, said: "I want to be involved with England no matter where they play although it would be special to represent my country at Villa Park.
"But we have an important league game before then so I am more concerned about getting Villa's season up and running."

The very talented actor Shaheer Sheikh who won audiences'
heart after portraying Anant in Star Plus' popular show Navya is all set to be
seen back on screen tonight in Siddharth Kumar Tiwary's ongoing epic mytho
series Mahabharat. Shaheer's entry as Arjun is going to happen tonight.
TellyBuzz spoke to the actor to know more about his excitement on the same.
Here it is what Shaheer has said...
Shaheer told TellyBuzz, "I am enjoying every bit of playing Arjun. It's been a good experience for me so far. I have got to learn a lot of things. I am very excited and little nervous as well about my entry which is happening tonight because there are so many expectations from this character. So far I have got to hear good and positive response from the fans on my looks and I hope that people will accept me as Arjun."
When asked Shaheer about the preparations he has done for his character and the things he has got to learn from Arjun, he added, "I have worked upon my Hindi diction, I have learn't horse riding, I have got weapon training and I have read a lot about Arjun. All these things have helped me a lot to play this character. The costumes are very good and apt for the character. I am liking everything about it. I have got to learn a lot of things from my character out of which self discipline and being focused are the main things."
"Watch Mahabharat and give me your feedback as how I am. Hopefully, I will be able to do justice to the character," concludes Shaheer giving message to his fans.
TellyBuzz wishes Shaheer all the best!

According to Tim Leahy, president of Crop Source International, dried plums contain less sugar and calories plus 40 to 50% more fiber than cranberries or raisins. Despite dried plums' similar functionality in formulations, Mr. Leahy said the baking industry has been intrigued but hesitant to incorporate them.
There are some formulation differences in using dried plums vs. other dried fruits. While raisins may work well in a soft white bread, the flavor and texture of dried plums tend to do better in heavier grains, according to Mr. Leahy. They also work well in oatmeal cookies, rugula and bran muffins.
To demonstrate dried plums in a bakery formulation, Sunsweet Growers started producing its own breads, rolls, cakes and cookies under the name Sunsweet Bakery. These use dried plums as inclusions or a puree. The products are currently available in some supermarkets and bulk stores in California and Mexico with plans to branch out to Colorado. However, the products exist to inspire the rest of the baking industry to use dried plums. "Our goal is to show the way and stimulate the industry to work with dried plums," Mr. Leahy said.

Suppression of Cladding Mode Coupling Loss in Fiber Bragg Gratings
Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. 18, Issue 11, pp. 1583- (2000)
Acrobat PDF (206 KB)
We have demonstrated, for the first time, the suppression of cladding mode coupling loss to 0.1 dB in 30-dB fiber Bragg gratings for both nonhydrogenated and hydrogenated fibers. These fibers have also been optimized to give 0.04-dB average splice loss to SMF-28 fiber. The suppression of cladding mode coupling is achieved by accurately characterizing and controlling the photosensitive profile. This low level of cladding mode coupling loss has opened up a new range of broadband applications, previously restricted by the limited free spectral range of fiber Bragg gratings.

Things you couldn't live without or wish you had added
It has been almost a year since ellied started this thread. It was so helpful with many wonderful ideas shared by generous forum members! I hope no one minds if we give it another run.
After six months in the new house, my list has changed a bit. I really like the central vac - it is just so clean and quiet and handy to use.
I didn't think I'd use the whole house audio system, but it has become a favorite feature. I can pipe music to every room - including the back patio. We're also able to listen to TV sporting events even when we have to make a run to the kitchen or bathroom.
I'm also glad we added the backup furnace to our forced A/C system. It has come in handy on those in between spring/fall days when it is warm during the day and cold at night and the radiant floor can't quite catch up to keep things comfy.
Hands down, something I would not want to do without is our screened-in back porch. We have meals out there, sit and talk, watch the kids jump on the trampoline. A back porch is a MUST... something that you will never regret having, but may always regret not having!!!
I agree with teach, although ours isn't actually screened-in just yet. But we are out there every day. We sit out there in the a.m. watching for the school bus, I like to sit out there and read. We sit there and watch the kids play in the yard. Dh likes to sit out there and listen to baseball on the radio. We like to sit there once in awhile after the kiddos are in bed and have a few drinks. It's my favorite thing about our new house.
Couldn't live without:
-Central vac
-Scene setter lighting -- don't have to go around turning on/off lights. The best is at night one button by the bed turns them all off
-Subzero fridge -- things stay fresh for weeks!
-Whole house audio -- can listen to my ipod, XM radio, etc. while cleaning or while by the pool w/ outside speakers
-Insta-hot water dispenser
-Advantium speed cook microwave
-Double ovens
-Big! master closet
-Covered lanai -- great for relaxing and enjoying nature. Ours isn't screened but we don't have a big skeeter problem.
-Jamb switches in all closets so we have immediate light when opening
We worked on the design of this home for almost 6 yrs., so the wish we had done list is small:
-Laundry tub in garage. Would be great for cleaning up after gardening.
-Designed the lanai for a better outdoor kitchen area
-Basement stairs without a 45 degree turn at the bottom. Makes moving in furniture there more difficult.
I'm still in the planning phases for my custom home, but here are some ideas I have:
+ Bench to sit on in master shower
+ Motorized retractable screens on patio/loggia
+ Pre-wire house for audio in most rooms (probably not bedrooms except master)
+ Have an island in master closet for folding clothes or laying them out
+ 3-way mirror in master closet
+ Noise proof walls for master bedroom/bathroom and powder room
Would love to hear more of other people's ideas too! I figured this would be a very long thread.
I think the things that I am going to love more than anything else are my................
Central Vac
Built in mud hall cubbies
Playroom on main floor!!!!!!
Front loading washer/dryer with counter on top for clothes folding.
Built in dirty laundry bins
Already wish I would have made the living room a few feet wider, it would have made alot of difference. Right now that is all I can think of.
Been in one year now....how time flies when you're having fun!!!
Things we did just right.....
*found the perfect lot...everything else is gravy
*Our wood flooring
*Our porch...like others we use it constantly (relaxing with a glass of wine, dinner every night or entertaining).
*Central vac....love it
*A large laundry....love it
*lots of windows....lots of light/ I don't feel like I'm in a coffin anymore
*built-in laundry bins....I had 3 made into the cabinets for whites, colored and towels. They keep my laundry nice looking all the time (and DH even USES them!!!)
Things I would do different....
*make our 2 guest bathrooms wider
*make my dining-nook at least 4 feet wider (we didn't/don't want a diningroom but can only seat a table for 6 in the nook).
*pay more attention to location of electrical light switches
*put a window in the masterbath. Our closet and dual sink area get hot because of a 7' x 9' glass block shower on the east facing wall. We put a small window in the shower but it's south facing and not much use.
Having lived in my new home for eight months, there is a lot I love and a lot I would do differently. We built in a development off standard house plans.
Things I wouldn't change:
* the morning room extension off the back of the kitchen. Tons of light!
* Moving the window from the laundry room to the second floor master bathroom. I don't need the window in the laundry area and it would now block the hooks we use for hanging up coats. The window in the bathroom is wonderful, though.
* Upgrading the tile in the front hall. They gave us two ugly choices -- white or yellow -- and we upgraded to a slate porcelain tile that I love.
* NOT upgrading to wood floors. I still hate the carpets, but the builder was going to charge us $18/square foot for very basic, narrow plank oak flooring. We've gotten estimates on the same space for considerably less money and nicer wood.
* NOT getting the builder to put in central AC. We had it done two months after we moved in and saved over $3000.
* YES to the kitchen upgrade. Everyone around here, if you look at homes for sale, has the same honey oak cabinets with laminate counters. We upgraded to spice maple with engineered quartz counters, and it was a real bargain when I ran the numbers. It's beautiful and doesn't look like everyone else's kitchen.
There are really only four things that I would have done differently:
* Extended garage. We only have two cars, but the garage is tight with both cars in it (and we are not going to be the people whose garage is so full of "stuff" we can't get the cars in!). I would have added a storage area or even a "third car" extension" for bicycles and the lawn mower and that kind of stuff.
* Basement wash sink. However, the basement is plumbed for another bathroom so I don't think adding one will be a real problem.
* More outlets in the basement. Again, we'll have to add that in ourselves.
* I would have paid more attention to possible appliance upgrades, such as whether to put in a gas line for a gas range instead of electric, and upgrading the dishwasher, which is a piece of utter crap. But we'll do that ourselves in a couple years.
Two dishwashers and two laundry rooms are a necessity along with a 36" all fridge and freezer drawers. Mud room/back halls are never big enough when you have kids and animals. Whirlpool tubs and open floor plans are the biggest scams in the building industry right now. Decks are a waste of money but heated floors and heated outside entry stoops are well worth having. Closet organizers made by a reputable cabinet company (not California Closet cheap stuff) make life way easier. Falling for the "tuscan" look is really wrong....most americans have never been to Italy and don't understand what a joke we are with our tuscan homes.
Ah, thanks, I've been waiting for one of these now that we've actually moved in and I have opinions!
Mostly drawers in kitchen. Love my tupperware in drawers. No longer attacking me every time I open the door.
Blanco Silgranit sink. This thing is indestructible and I never would have known about it if not for this site.
Kitchen island. I was adamant about not having an island because I thought they were trendy but broke down and added one. It's so convenient. Always a place to put stuff. Great work space. Nice eating space for the two of us.
My husband's eco-friendly design. Our house is basically a berm home with our entire main living floor underground on two sides. Our air conditioner barely ever runs. The house is so quiet and comfortable. I can only imagine heating will be just as easy and economical. The money we're saving makes me very happy.
Cork floors. Our living space is on slab. The cork is soft, comfortable, quiet and beautiful. I can't speak to it's wear but so far I just love the choice.
Our mudroom is too small and we wasted space by putting a shower in there when we added the slop sink to the garage that could have served as the dog wash the shower was intended for.
Our sunken living room. While it looks cool, it makes cleaning harder and I think in hindsight I'd prefer all one even level. Would have been cheaper too since doing the concrete for multi-level was expensive.
Dirt. We live in the country. I live with constant dirt.
The placement of our Master BR. We're right next to the living room and while we really couldn't plan the house any other way, I don't love the noise invasion. I'll probably get used to it.
We planned this house for years and it came out almost exactly the way we wanted it. The things I love I really love and the things I don't aren't unbearable. In general our house is perfect.
Great thread.
Can't live without:
- Central vac. Even though I use it rarely, when I do I LOFF IT! I have a housekeeper weekly, she LOFFS it too. I did just use it to clean up half a box of spilled Cheerios. Special mention to the vacpan we added to the clutter room. That's where most of the dog hair, hay and mud live- great for quick clean ups.
-the Clutter room. I think it's one of the two things we get the most compliments on when people see the house. It's a wing on the house that contains the clutter room- a large laundry room with many cabinets, a work desk ( computer/home office) a laundry sink, a second fridge, a work bench. It's pretty large. It leads to the kitchen through a dutch door. The same wing contains a half bath and the mud room. The mud room has entries from the side porch, the back porch and the garage. The clutter room also has an entry to the front porch. When people walk in you can see their minds working.... they feel like they are walking into the kitchen but something's not "right" - with the washer dryer etc. Then it hits them it's not a kitchen!
- porches- large and deep. We use them every day.
- IPE on the porches
- Hardiplank. Love the look.
-Large bedrooms. After seeing some parade homes recently, I was stunned at how small secondary bedrooms are... happy we made larger rooms a priority.
-3 car garage.
-washer and dryer in master closet
- washer and dryer in basement with elevated dog tub
-pex/magnablock plumbing
-geothermal. We look like geniuses. I will be reminding myself this winter when I am making larger house payments that I would have been spending that "difference" on heating oil in our old house. That's probably our biggest "can't live without".
Regrets are few....
- should have added a window or something to the long expanse that is the outside garage wall. It may be perfect place to incorporate a screened porch someday- we can add a door to the garage.
-kitchen cabinets. I like them. I really do but wish I would have been a little more open-minded and really looked. I usually went with my first instinct and didn't look back. Everyone loves our kitchen though- me included but wish I would have taken a little more time.
-not really a regret as we LOVE our wood floors but we do have some echoing issues. Wood floors and the fact we have a staircase that is open from the basement to the second floor - a belltower staircase it's called. I know it will be a lot better once I get all the area rugs/furniture in place but I just haven't done it all yet. In the meantime when the kids run and play and scream and particularly SLAM DOORS, I could lose my mind... well what's left of it. We have really heavy doors now so slamming is just really fun.
-other regret although I don't see anyway we could have known this.. although the HVAC guys should have..... Our master is warm. We get the morning sun. I think our ducts are too small and poorly placed. In fact it's on my list of things to check into. I am probably going to buy plantation shutters for the east window to see if it helps. I am an "anti window treatment" type so I hate to do it...
Over all we are very happy with 99% of our decisions.
Wonderful ideas! I'll add an outdoor spigot to the balcony for cleaning and watering plants. Didn't have that in last house and getting the hose to the 2nd floor balcony for cleaning the floor and windows reguired 2 people, the pole tree trimmer, and luck!
ponydoc, I'm an anti-window treatment person too. And, like kats, I can't have too many windows or too much light! I saw a neat solution in a home we considered purchasing. Cup hooks were placed inside the window frame at three levels. A swath of nice fabric with a dowel at each end, could be placed to cover top half, bottom half, entire window, OR completely removed. I loved the idea!
petchia, nice suggestion for 3 way mirror in closet!
These were in the house we built in 2001, and will repeat in the new one.
Central vac . . . If I couldn't have one in the new house, I wasn't going to move. Period.
Pots & Pans drawers in the kitchen instead of base cabinet doors -- no more lying on the floor rooting around in cabinets.
Lots and lots of light. The old (pre 2001) house felt like a cave to me and certainly contributed to winter depression. The 2001 house had great windows, and so does the new one.
Soaking tub with decking around it for candles, wine glasses, decorative things -- loved it! Walk-in shower with rainhead -- loved it, too!
Stair step lighting -- especially nice to leave on at night when guests are in residence.
Under cabinet lighting. The pre-2001 house didn't have it and I whined and tried to compensate for years.
Bottom freezer fridge. The apartment we're in while building has a top freezer and at least ten times a day I remember why I hated that setup.
Things I'm planning on loving in the new house: a separate place to watch TV. The previous house had a balcony over the family room which meant that sound went everywhere. The only really quiet place I could read while DH watched TV was the bedroom. Won't happen in this house!!
*My slate-colored granite composite kitchen sink. I love it. It shows absolutely nothing, is indestructible, doesn't scratch.
*Instant hot water dispenser at the sink. We had it at the last house, and love it. Great for hot tea, hot chocolate, etc.
*The bidet - I was skeptical, having never used one. DH talked me into it, and, well, don't knock it till you've tried it ;-) (Our little country log cabin builder thought we were really weird, though.)
I've got to second the bidet. Previously, my only experience with one had been in a hotel room in Europe some-twenty-odd years ago. The concept just kinda seemed to make sense, though. It took a little time to wrap my mind around actually having (and utilizing) one. Once I figured out it is essentially just a short sink the this-is-really-weird factor dissipated and now I'd definitely miss having one.
gibby: it may depend on the size of your home but i've found two laundry rooms pretty common where we are. our main laundry for clothing and "upstairs" linens will be upstairs, nearest to the bedrooms while i'll keep a pair of stackables in the mudroom for the "downstairs" linens from the guest room, kitchen and downstairs bathrooms. also: a lot of clothes enter the mud room that i'd rather not have my kids wearing through the house to get to the upstairs laundry. my cousin recently renovated her downstairs to include a second laundry. so, no jesting here!
Well, with the recent twists and turns in the stock market, our retirement seems to have faded into the far future, so it may be a while before we build a house. However, after the last kitchen renovation, I'm completely, 100% sold on my induction cooktop.
I am building soon but we had just renovated the kitchen and bath and my "couldn't live without" list includes
Heated tile
Separate hand held sprayer in shower (no need to shut off main shower)
Thermostatic shower valve - holds constant temp - set it once and leave it.
Dishwasher drawers
Full extension/soft close drawers (and lots of em) in the kitchen.
Things we couldn't live without (or things that one or the other refused to compromise on!):
- large walk-in closet behind the future salt water aquarium
- study adjacent to the master bedroom with a double pocket doors
- sun room/dining room - 26'x11' on the back of the house with large windows overlooking the bayou - room can be rearranged during holidays to accommodate long dining table.
- induction cooktop (since we didn't have gas service)
- dishwasher/sink looking into the living room
- the combined shower light/vent fan switch with fan on a timer shut-off
- covered stairs from the exterior (our house is elevated - many elevated houses around here do not have a roof section over the stairs)
- ICF construction - both for energy efficiency and for hurricane strength
- 10' ceilings
- 8' solid wood doors
Things we wished we had added:
- 6" framing for the wall with the double pocket doors so that we could have added a light switch.
- somewhere to place the towel rods in the master bath. Oops!
- Coat closet in the entry - in retrospect we could have easily added this during the framing stage. But at least there is space for a nice armoire which will act as the closet.
- solatube split between an upstairs closet and bathroom
- impact resistant doors/windows/solatubes
- elevator (our two large dogs (12 and 16) may not get to move into the house since they are both having problems with stairs - there are 17 to get to the main floor.)
Things that we think we will love once we move in, but that technically we could live without:
- large game room upstairs
- the framing mistake that added a doorway where there wasn't one - this gave us the idea to rearrange the overly large bathroom and add a kithenette
- bead board ceiling in the sun room (this has turned into quite a project)
- dumbwaiter with 3 stops - parking area (below house), pantry/laundry room, and upstairs kitchenette
- antique stained glass windows that we will use as transoms over doors
- changing the ceiling of one of the secondary bedrooms to a cathedral(?) ceiling (sloped ceiling to a 9' flat ceiling in the middle) This was done during the framing stage.
We're still in the building process and, having lived without electricity and indoor plumbing during the early years of my life, I can't say that there is anything other than a roof and four walls that I "can't live without" but, in the spirit of the question, things we added that I am REALLY looking forward to enjoying:
- The three-level home elevator which makes my entire two story home fully wheel-chair accessible including the attic storage space!
- 2nd floor laundry room. Tired of carry dirty laundry thru the living room and kitchen to get to the laundry room!
- Screened porch/walkway between the garage and house. The porch is almost totally shaded by the house and the garage AND is situated to catch the prevailing breezes so it is a cool oasis from the central Texas heat.
- Breakfast nook off the kitchen with built-in booth seating. Realized that whenever DH and I go out to eat we always choose a booth over a table so figured we might as well have one in our home!
- A half bath directly accessible from outdoors.
- Windows that are designed so you can clean them without getting up on a ladder outdoors!
- Huge wrap around porch with an old-fashioned porch swing. Fell in love with porches and porch swings at various B&Bs where we've stayed and simply HAD to have my own.
Wish I had added:
- Plumbing to the unfinished room over the garage. Eventually this will be DH's "man cave" (pool table/big screen TV etc.) but if we had added plumbing, it could also have served as a spare bedroom when we have lots of company around the holidays. Or it could have been more easily turned into a studio apartment by some future owner.
And my wish list grows!!
carterinms, your bead board ceiling is beautiful. It will be worth the wait---however long it takes. Your sun room sounds amazing. Please post a photo when you have time.
bevangel, I know you research everything thoroughly. If you check back in, would you please share the type and manufacturer of the elevator that you love?
emmachas, I chose the LEV counterweighted elevator by Thyssen Krupp. Counterweighted elevators are more energy efficient than hydraulic models and don't need a machine room. The LEV requires only a very shallow pit (6" I think) so it was easier to design my slab foundation that if I had chosen one that needed a deeper pit.
We chose the largest cab size (40" x 54") and a taller cab height (88" instead of standard 84") plus upgraded the cab options to raised panel walls, 4 lights on the ceiling, brushed brass handrails instead of wood, etc. Cost for the upgraded model (installed) was $28K. Bare bones for the model was about $22K. I suspect you can get the smaller (36" x 36" cab) without the upgrades for around $20K.
Note that it is less expensive to put an elevator in while you are building than to retrofit one later. The extra retrofitting cost comes from having to remodel the house to find a spot for the elevator. But you can design your home with a place for a future elevator and use the shaft as stacked closet space until you're ready to install the elevator.
Also, if you or anyone in your family has mobility issues and can get your doctor to sign a presciption for an elevator, you don't have to pay the sales tax on the elevator which can save you several thousand dollars.
Here is a link that might be useful: Thyssen Krupp
I loved reading this thread! We're in the planning stages, so this was timely! One thing my neighbor has that I love is a pocket screen door on the front of the house. I like to have the front door open for fresh air sometimes, but don't like the look of screen doors. Theirs is hidden in the door frame until they want to use it, then just slide it out. Neat!
Haven't moved into our new house yet -- so I don't know for sure if this is something we could live without but I asked to have a spigot installed outside for hot water so you don't have to run into the house for a bucket of hot water when you want to wash the car, rinse off your hands, etc.
This thread is great. We are about 90% finished with our plans for a entire house remodel. We are not allowed to tear down and start over, so we are gutting the entire structure.
Your elevator advice is great, thanks. We were planning to make our house elevator ready and install later, but seeing your post has made us reconsider.
Surprised no one has mentioned, but even in SoCal, I love my Warm Floors in the bathroom under the travertine - could be my favorite thing! During the winter, I wanted to lie down on my bathroom floor.
Glad I held out for an outside spiral staircase to the upstairs deck,
two-sided office desk,
pot filler,
upstairs laundry,
pool bath,
undercounter micro drawer,
trash compactor (everyone tried to talk me out of that & said they were passe'),
recycling bin,
fixed & handheld shower (overhead shower was a bit of a waste...),
doggie door hidden under kitchen desk - people think she's magic when she appears :),
pull-out shelves for printers, etc in office & grommets for wires & got rid of most of the clutter,
LOVE the light system & setting up scenes - esp. our 'night track' button that saves me turning on & off 6 banks of lights just to get down to the kitchen at night,
my daughter's 'all-off' button that blinks until she turns all the lights off @ night
Bain-Ultra air bath - no more gross jacuzzi jets shooting out gunk!
Wish I had closet lights that come on when doors are opened,
had organized the pantry lay-out a little better,
figured out drawers/pull-outs for wrapping paper better,
looked more closely at cabinet depths - can't fit a whole lot in,
perhaps put an elevator in - was $10K in the beginning & just heard a woman is paying $70K to retrofit her house for one. I need the exercise now, but who knows what the future will hold...
not a whole lot more than that though - we thought it out pretty throughly.
STUPIDEST purchase ever - the Aquatics laundry air sink - basically a jacuzzi for my underwear that you can't even use soap in as it bubbles over & makes a mess. You can do a better job swishing your hand around in the sink a couple of times. Whatever possessed me to get this, I don't know...
Almost Done!!

Back to Rehab
The hospital sent Dad back to rehab last night.I feel as though we are all on a roller coaster.Dad was very happy at the hospital,but we had an awful afternoon when he learned he was going back to rehab.I had to call his sister and she called his brother.I needed backup and support.I am not sure what my uncle said,but Dad actually apologized to us,and that has never happened.Of course,this afternoon,it is still the same old thing.I just cannot convince him that he still needs 24/7 nursing care and he hasn't even attempted to help with his PT. Not to mention that his stump is badly infected and his blood sugar is out of control.Please keep all of us in your prayers.
I'm sorry, lass- and pray for you I will.
and a roller coaster it is, and it's a tossup whether the ride, or the ending is more to be dreaded.
by the time all was said and done with my father, we were all exhausted, utterly wore out, couldn't take another day of one step forward, two steps back...
all the advice I can offer is to make it a point to balance out every hour you spend fighting with the staff (and you will - they let your father out with an active infection in his stump? why?) or visiting your father by doing something that soothes you.
I did an awful lot of biking last summer. in fact, the last day, the only way I found the strength to see things through was to make the 18-mile run from my office to the hospital on two wheels, which kind of forced me to think about what I was doing, instead of what was facing me at my arrrival.
seek peace for yourself at every chance. it's the only thing that will help.
Oh, dear!! It sounds as if he's got a tough way to travel. Those nasty infections on stumps never seem to want to clear up. I think the idea is to just keep them as neat and clean as possible and hope for the best. The Rehab will probably be able to get him more active than the hospital could. He needs to move around as much as possible to help his circulation. Let's hope he soon settles in better. Take care of yourself.
Dear Sandie, i wrote you one of my loooong answers as usual. but having been there with Al (having his toes amputated and his legs 4 times), the surgeon said that since there is alot of stress going on and the infection, the blood sugars will be outof wack, i think i remember once it was 33! The antibotics they have now are just wonderful and i also remember this stuff called colligenace(sp) that ate the dead skin and infection, i remember also that the surgeon wanted to use leeches. if your dad has a below the knee amputation (as Al started with), most of the time they start there and hope that the infection will not spread, and because everyone is different, it did spread and then it was above the knee, the one leg was about 3 months later, the other leg was fine for the longest time then it was below and only 5 days later he was in the hospital. He did go to rehab, but has alot of other things "wrong" with him so when he was at home he did alot of exercises in bed. Clean dressing are a must and i think they changed them 4 times a day, and changed the packing too, i refused to do the dressing changes, and nurses came into the house. Also wrapping the tensor bandage is very important. then i also recall that there was day surgery where they call it "redefining" where they "nip and tuck" here and there - yuck-lol!!!! to this day and infact right now, Al has phantom pains and electrical shocks going through his leg. I am the caregiver 24/7 and me being almost 50 (in 3 weeks) and Al 51, i don't like to leave him more than 30 minutes at a time, Al fell out of his wheelchair in the kitchen and we were within 6 feet of him, and he broke his stump and ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks!, so you just never know i wouldn't let my dad or Al stay by themselves, also i don't know if you give your dad his insulin but I am the one who has to give it 4 times a day, how wouold your dad manage? Also Al has to use a urinal and i'm forever cleaning and bleaching them out, there is a ton of things to think about. Al was supposed to go to a LTC hospital at the end of our block - so about 1/4 mile away, we decided it was better for him to be at home, since he hated the hospital food and i was always bringing him his meals, but then again everyone is different. i will admit that somedays i wish he wasn't at home, and that i could just go out for the day and no worry about anything or anybody, and then sometimes i feel like a single parent with not 2 but 3 children. also as i have said before the relatives will be there offering to help but when the first few days of the novelty wears off they will be nowhere in site and will come up with excuses while they have to bale. there is so much to consider as each family is different but the one thing i can do for you is day a prayer for you and your family! i think i llive in Florida right now -- its 34 out!!!! debbie

Should I be worried about this chip?
Went back over to our new build house today to look at the countertops that were installed yesterday. I found a small chip in the stone against one of the walls to the left of the cooktop, maybe 5/8"-3/4" wide and coming out 1/4"-1/2". We will be installing a backsplash at some point, but not immediately due to budget. Is this chip something I should be concerned about? Also, they did not caulk against the wall. Should I leave it as is or caulk it ourselves?
This particular chip is so easy to fix, even a homeowner can do it.
Over-fill the chip with superglue. After it has cured scrape it to flush with a razor blade.
You'll want to do this sooner rather than later, as the chip will accumulate contamination the longer it is un-repaired.
You wouldn't be out of line to expect the fabricator to do this and caulk with paintable latex either.
Trebruchet--thanks for the super glue suggestion. Something I think we can handle, but I'm certainly going to mention it to the builder. The fabricator is over 1 hour away, so I'm concerned this would be sitting for awhile with a lot happening in the area to contaminate the chip.
Chip and caulk. I don't know if I'd try to fix it myself. If something goes wrong then you're stuck. Both our builders cut as many corners as possible. We went to the houses every day and found things installed wrong. A blue tub in a brown bathroom, A plain window instead of a half moon one and the killer was when they put the end wall of the porch in the middle of the kitchen window.

A suggestion for tweeking the "Reassign underperforming officers"
You might want to put some sort of timer on officers who have been turned in. I just turned in some uncommon officers and recieved one that I turned in when I did my common officers. It's kind of a bummer getting effectively nothing for my efforts.
Yes, I turned in two of the same officer (odd in itself) Just to get that same officer.
Star Trek, the clone wars......
I really would like to see this whole clone thing changed. Here's a thought, how about you can chose a focus for the officer you are looking for at the very least? Turn in any what 5 is it and get one from a specific job set. I'm still not sure I want to have to turn in 5 officers and dil both to get one random officer. Perhaps at common level. Though given just how bad my luck has been with them I think I would rather just dismiss them or trade them.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
The article is not reflecting the true picture of the issue/scandal.
Author should have done better fact finding.
Editor should accept articles form authors who are more informed about India and its system of governance, politics and lifestyle.
The functioning of Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) shows that India is still entangled in Bureaucracy and Red Tape procedures. Mr. Modi had an autocratic way of running the IPL. There is no transparency in Auction held for two new teams where he had kept and subsequently changed the bidding rules, clearly to give advantage to his close people. He had also allegedly kept the big advertising firms at bay first season team aution so that the advertising revenue doesn't stop. The IPL and BCCI are monopolising a beautiful game. The bid amount, much higher than the actual valuation of the two new teams proves it. Tax exemptions are requested by IPL but money is wasted outrageously in IPL parties and fasion shows. BCCI should come under sports ministry and the revenue generated by the game should be evenly invested towards developing other sports.
IPL scandal has brought out for public gaze how private institutions work in this country. Huge commercial success of IPL under leadership of Mr. Modi made members of BCCI and IPL governing council ignore his method and process of some of the most important decisions taken by IPL. All registered entities whether under societies act or companies act envisage a certain organisational structure. a definite role assigned to persons manning that organisation, requirements of maintening books of accounts and obligation n the part of the organization to adhere to the laws of the land in matters related to monetary transactions involving flow of foreign currency. Departments of Ministry of finance, RBI and the registering body normally keep a tab on all these. It is common for all entities including a body like IPL to prepare periodical reports and certainly an annual report and file that with the registering authority. Curiously, in the unstructured media trial that is going on emphasis is celebrities and their role or "no role" rather than these substantive issues. Clearly, it is not just Mr. Lalit Modi who might have been in the wrong. But there my be serious under performence by some of these government agencies at lower levels ignored by senior bosses. Scandals and irregularities cannot take place in a country like India where tentacles of law and rules of procedures are so elaborate.
Million dollar question is why things erupted as Kochi team formation bid took place. It was the first real challenge to authority of Mr. Modi and could have led to serious erosion of the same. Therefore, possibly Mr. Modi chose his own way of making Kochi team kowtow, which is not quite in synch with "behavorial ethics" in certain quarters of Indian elites. This is evident. If serving sports is Mr. Modi's sole objective, what is preventing him exposing BCCI, IPL governing council members rather than threatenng that he would so. One resorts to this, when one really wants to negotiate and wriggle out of the mess and also get back the lost glory. Significantly, BCCI has kept the scope open for that to happen. One's sense is that this will happen...for need to keep the big wigs of politics and industry unscathed from IPL conroversy is an overwhelming consideration and that Mr. Modi shall be eased out of cricket adminstration but not the business of cricket because he is much to entrenched there.
One hopes, however, that through this controversy, commitment of cricket adminstrators towards promotion of other sports shall come under focus and will not remain confined to cricket alone. One strongly believes that fusion of other sports like hockey, football, tennis, badminton etc with film international sports celebrity glamour can do wonders to these disciplines too. As for cricket fans, one is sure IPL is financially strong enough to improve stadium facilities especially the catering facilities ... in fact snack, water and soft drinks can be served free with ever ticket to add to cricketainment, which later can be extended to other sports.

|Blog Posts
Unfortunately, during times like these, something's gotta give, and the sad answer the past week has been to essentially put the blog (not to mention Twitter, obviously) on hiatus. No likey!
But because I miss you guys and it feels weird going too long without talking to you–but also because my brain is fried and I can't think about composing proper posts right now–I decided that I'm going to do Ramble posts during this time. It's certainly not Blogging 101, but at least it'll mean fresh content!
So, first up: I got my computer back! It's been 7 weeks since it broke and in the interim I've been borrowing friends' computers and going to the boyfriend's. Losing my computer felt a little like having an appendage missing. It also threw off my writing schedule like nobody's business, so I'm jazzed to have it back. Tomorrow begins National Novel Writing Month and I've resolved to start and finish a new project that I conceived over the weekend, so wish me luck. If you want to join me in attempting to write a novel in a month, sign up here !
Jordan Reid of Ramshackle Glam and the new show "Jordan in the House"
I saw the movie Like Crazy this weekend. (Spoiler to follow!) It was beyond depressing, with a very Lady and the Tiger ending (I, having apparently turned into a dark pessimist, chose to believe that everything does not turn up roses for the young couple), but the lead actress Felicity Jones is incredibly gorgeous and appealing. I think you'll be seeing her everywhere very soon.
In other news, I found out today that my friend Jordan Reid –who just had a baby last week!!–is going to be the host of a new YouTube show on the Meredith channel , one of only 7 they're producing. How freaking awesome is that? (Follow the link for a super glam photo of Jordan and more information about the new YouTube channels, which you'll be hearing a lot more about in the media.)
And in product news, I'm currently obsessed with the line I Love…Cosmetics , which is very Philosophy-esque and features the most appealing, mouth-watering, delicious hand lotions, body butters, shower smoothies and lip balms. The packaging is cute and the scents are literally good enough to eat. I'm currently using the I Love…Blueberry & Smoothing Super Soft Hand Lotion and I Love…Coconut & Cream Exfoliating Shower Smoothing. Seriously scrrrrumptious. Check 'em out!
I Love...Blueberry & Smoothie

Both would be cool and really take it to the next level. What about the option of changing the fonts and the perma cap In the Tag lines?
Here are a few that I have made using beer labelizer and jam labelizer which works pretty well. I'll add my comments as to what would be awesome if you could make it work for each label:
This label is cool. The only thing I would like to change is the ability to change the letter within the circle.
The only thing I would like (and I would really like this), is to be able to make the picture smaller or larger (zoom in or out).
I love the photo ones. Making more templates with the ability to add a photo would be killer.
So, it seems I'm having the same problem now as many others in that the site doesn't remember me as a premium member. There is no place to enter a code, but I can't find the email anyway. It seemed good at first, but this is an annoyance.
I saved the e-mail link in my homebrew file so I can just use that. you guys have to think of seperate file folders for things to keep'em seperated. Easier for me that way. I def like the added color choice. I use your label generator for beers I ship to friends & family. also,an easier to read Old English/Germanic font would be nice. Here's a few labels I did with your program;http://
Gotta post the new one of this with the right spelling;http://http://http://http://
The font on the Buckeye Burton label could be a bit clearer. Otherwise,the label suits the sort used back in the day for such an ale.
Good job man. Get some ads on there, start raking in those pennies!
I honestly had no idea they existed. This beer won a bronze medal (as Left Hand Brewing Co). My girlfriend even made me a really cool sign for my brew shack. Then I realized there was a friggin' brewery named that. Argghgghghgh.

Anyone on the Inland Empire?
erika79(Zone 9)July 17, 2011
I like Oorah suggestion about a new group but I would like it to be in the Inland Empire. I'm sure there's a few of us who would like to gather and talk about Plumerias or maybe do dome trading. If anyone is interested let me know and we will go from there.
labland(Inland Valley CA9)
I might be interested. I am a member of South Coast Plumeria Society but have never made it to a meeting. It is over 2 hours to drive there. At least I get the monthly newsletters and pictures which are wonderful! I hope to make it to the next So. Cal. plumeria meeting in Huntington Beach, which from Bud I understand will not be until August. Jennifer

The Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) is expanding its implementation of NICE video security solutions to the West Rail Line, Union Station and the Denver Civic Center.
The first two projects stem from Denver RTD's FasTracks plan, a major program that will extend Metro Denver's entire mass transit system. In addition, Denver RTD also purchased the NICE IP radio recording solution and NICE Inform, an information management solution designed to capture, consolidate and manage voice; video and other multimedia for complete debriefing and investigation.
Denver RTD has been a NICE customer since 2001, and with the expansion, will use the NICE video surveillance solution to monitor, manage and record more than one thousand video surveillance cameras at dozens of light rail stations, Park-n-Ride facilities, and bus transfer stations.
The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.
ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
The service, which costs $6 a ride, asks riders to download the Leap app, creating an account, uploading a photo and adding a credit card that enables them to pay via a QR code.
Agencies ordering the company's products, which are now in at least half of all new U.S. and Canadian transit buses, include L.A. Metro, Chicago Transit Authority and New York City Transit.
The contract includes a firm order for 35 XN40 and 20 XN60 Xcelsior buses, with an option for another 150 XN40 and 100 XN60 over the next five years. All buses are to be powered by CNG.

dish cloth yarn company closing
OklaMoniJanuary 24, 2011
I just found out, the peaches and creme company is closing/moving to Canada, and ordered two batches of cones, in their special price, cause they are seconds. Usually a really good buy.
Thought some others might want to check it out.
Here is a link that might be useful: Peaches & Creme
My friend in Canada said spinrite bought them out so don't know what that means in terms of still selling it. That would explain why our Walmart ditched it months ago and started selling sugar and cream instead I think. Could always eamil them and ask. Spinrite also has bernat and a few other's I forget what ones. Mary

Sears/Craftsman Garage Door Opener
I have just replaced the chain drive gear and sprocket assembly (plastic gears were stripped)as per the instructions with the carriage and limits in the down position. When I plugged the unit in the motor want's to drive in the down rotation, I tried changing the limit switch to the up position but the motor only wants to rotate in the down rotation. I believe this may have been the problem that caused the gears to strip. Any ideas?? circuit board or ????
Are you sure all the wires are connected on the limit switch assembly. There are three wires. The brown wire goes to the down contact. The grey wire goes to the center limit contact and the yellow wire goes to the up contact. You might also try cleaning those contacts where they touch each other.

THAT is a matter of opinion.
The catsuits and mini skirts are so iconic I can't bring myself to hate them
I can. Not the miniskirts so much, since that at least passes for standard uniform (plus I got the distinct impression they're wearing shorts under those skirts, which seems like it would be more comfortable) but the Voyager/ENT catsuits are just stupid and never seem to belong anywhere. Seven of Nine looked just fine in a regular uniform, and T'pol had exactly zero reasons NOT to put on a regular Starfleet uniform when she resigned from the Vulcan service.
They essentially became noticeably less-useless versions of Deanna Troi, with the ironic distinction that Troi eventually remembered where her uniform had gone to and finally started wearing it. Seven and T'pol have no excuse.
I would have preferred them to re-use Ilia, personally
This is 2259. Isn't she, like, ten?

Upcoming CE Courses
Implant Dentistry: Diagnostic, Surgical and Prosthetic Keys to Success
This quarterly event taking place in March, August and November of each year will include renowned speakers and hands-on human cadaver workshops. Click here for more information and to register.
New Horizons in Endodontics
This lecture will concentrate on two areas. 1) How to incorporate new material science, such as bioceramic technology and efficient rotary instrumentation into your clinical practice, and 2) How to perform root canal therapy in such a manner that you actually enhance the long-term prognosis of the tooth. The goal of this program is to have all dentists learn how to perform endodontics in such a manner that they can offer their patients a predictable way of preserving their natural dentition in the long run.
Included in the lecture component will be a thorough discussion concerning diagnosis, access, non-surgical and surgical ultrasonic use, irrigation, instrumentation, and obturation techniques. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing endodontic synchronicity between a machined preparation and a laser verified master bioceramic coated cone. Additionally, a new instrumentation and obturation technique (ESX® NiTi rotary instrumentation and Bonded Obturation) will be introduced. All participants will have the opportunity to validate these concepts during the hands-on session.
The hands-on session provides the participants the opportunity to use "Real World" techniques and to witness first-hand, how they will change the way they practice endodontics. Time will also be dedicated to "Preventing the Separation of Rotary Files" and proper restoration of an endodontically treated tooth.
To register for this course, please click here.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea: A Dental Sleep Medicine Seminar
Please join us for an informative seminar on snoring and sleep apnea. Learn the science behind sleep disordered breathing as you begin this exciting journey. You can offer your patients a great service which will help their overall health and enhance their lives, while expanding your practice beyond your expectations. This dental sleep medicine seminar will introduce you to the fastest growing area in dentistry today. Come join us for this 2 hour "taste" of dental sleep medicine and decide if this is for you.
To register for this course please contact the Office of Continuing Education at email@example.com or (631) 632-5468.

Additional information coming soon!

larger homemade brushless
I originally posted about this motor on pages 36, 40, and 41 of the original homemade brushless thread. Since I have the motor completed and running, I thought it was better placed in Power Systems, since it is not a micro. It came from a 60M tape drive. Weight ready to go in a plane is a piggish 110g or so, but it is a solid piece of work. Steel bell, ball bearings, 23T of #22 wire, Nippy aluminum motor mount, MPJ 4mm prop adapter, 36 N45s arranged NNN SSS NNN, etc. It is about the same size as a PJS 800.
The photos below show my test setup. You can see the Phoenix 25 just below the motor, attached to and insulated from the vise head by double-sided rubber tape. I tried APC 8x6, 9x6, and 10x7 SF props, all from a brand new, freshly charged 8x1000 NiMH. The 8x6 only drew 2A, and even the 10x7 only drew about 5A and spun around 4000 rpm. I have a pack of well broken in 7x600AEs on charge now, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to invest more $$$ to get the performance I want. This will go in my Mini Telemaster (under construction), and I want to get 10-15A, preferably with only an 8" or 9" prop. More to come.

Good to see that things run well.
You might want to use
for some rough calculation on performance you might use the folowing link. Havent really used it yet. (this link is for GWS props, i had the APC version somewhere).

Are you going to reduce the amount of turns to get the higher amp draw you want allong with going 3s li/po?Matt

Thanks for the link, Franck. Matt, I'm not planning to rewind the motor until I've done some more testing. I ran it from the 7x600AE tonight, and fresh off the charger, I got 4200 rpm and about 6A. Looking a little more promising. I'd love to go with 3S2P 1500 lipo, but the $100 US price tag is a little steep. The lipos are great for really small planes, but when you start to look at larger planes - even sp. 400 size - the price escalates rapidly.

Your right,sure hope li/pos come down soon.I just purchased irate 2600s at 10C for my wattage mirage for 22.50 each and am going 3s1p.I guess thats about 70.00 and the pack is hard pressed to fit in many plane fuses but,fits great in my migage.Can't waite to torture the s400 motor for 10+minutes at full throttle.

After much testing of props, I've decided the most cost-effective method of increasing performance is to rewind the motor. I've ordered a spool of #20, which should get me down around 15T. The other avenues of performance gain were expensive in either $$$ (lipoly) or weight (increasing to 9-10 cells). The Mini Telemaster was designed for 7-8 cells, and I don't want to end up with a big increase in weight.

I've herd that using 2 strands of smaller wire works well and maybe even better.Ever tryed it insread of using a single larger wire? Matt

No Matt, I haven't tried that with this one. I guess I could explore that option, as well.

Ya,It sounds good but,not very easy to know how many turns of how big of wire,might be easier to just weight and get the stuff you know will be what you want.Matt

Experiment to find out the number turns you, than use the thickest possible wire or several in parallel. The more copper, the better.
