Ikea OTK, $7500 budget, almost done + a question
Ikea OTK, $7500 budget, almost done + a question
Hi garden web people! I haven't spent much time here lately, although I did run this plan by you guys before we started. My husband and I bought this house as a foreclosure, and it had been vacant for 4 years. It was extremely heavily vandalized, definitely not livable. We loved it immediately. The kitchen has been mostly done for several months, but there were a few details that I wanted to get finished before I posted.
This is not our first renovation, we have done several budget kitchen renos before, so we are experienced DIYers. I like to post these because there are lots of very high budget kitchens here, and I think it's nice to see what can be done with less money. So, here is the cost breakdown:
3900 cabs (adel off white), counters (oak), range hood (all IKEA, 20% off sale)
70 waterlox
400 stove (Craigslist)
100 sink
120 faucet
270 lighting
1200 fridge (scratch and dent, just barely, from Lowes)
450 dishwasher
70 micro
50 hardware (wish I'd gone more expensive on this)
240 floors (laminate)
80 window (returned special order at Lowes that we made fit)
300 backsplash
200 misc
**because the entire house had to be re-drywalled, I didn't include that cost, not sure how to separate that out. It's the only part of the reno that we did not do ourselves.

OK! Finally got the photo thing correct, I think. Hopefully you guys can see them.
Here is the question:
This is where the pantry is now (found the doors on the side of the road!) Nothing has been painted yet, and the glass will either be frosted or have fabric behind it to hide the mess.

I'm thinking about doing a paint scheme like this (photo from designsponge) only not black, probably turquoise.
From House on Chick Road
What do you think? Too much?
I just wanted to tell you what an amazing job you've done for such a small budget! Beautiful! I think your painting idea would look cool, not sure about turquoise. But I like the look of the photo you posted.
Well done! It came out great.
I have to admit I was looking more at your paddock fencing than kitchen hardware ;)
I'm seeing the pictures now. Wonderful! It all looks terrific, and I know it works great too because I have Ikea.
And your pantry! You know, I love the way shelves crowded with food add to the ambience of a kitchen, such as a pantry behind glass doors. To me, where the layout allows it's a great decorative feature. It doesn't sound as if you do, but yours are perfectly located for it. Fill 'em up? Please post pix showing what you did with this area. Whatever, it's perfect for having a little fun.
What rmiriam said!
Here is a link that might be useful: Silver Leaf your glass!!
This angle got left out of the post, and I like it, so here:

I think you're right about the two tone thing on the pantry. Too weird, I think. What I'm thinking now is to paint the wood white to match the cabinets, and the doors and hardware black, and use a colorful (maybe a print or linen?) fabric behind the glass. (I think some people can pull off the cute stuffed pantry look, rosie, but I don't think I can. Too much random stuff in plastic bags. Being neat is a struggle for me, I don't want to worry about how the insides of cabinets look.)
Wow! What a great job. I love seeing budget kitchens and yours is fantastic. Anyone can make a space fabulous with gobs of money (and too many make a space terrible with gobs of money!) but it takes talent to do beautiful on a budget! You should silver leaf your pantry door glass; it would look great in your kitchen.
Raenjapan, What an amazing new kitchen you did for such a great price! Your floors look so pretty and I would have never guessed them to be laminate floors. The appliances look amazing and I love the overall look! I also love the lazy Susan. I wish I had someone to help me do my kitchen as I know Labor on top of the material may double the price but that would still be a great price for your beautiful new kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you all for the kind words! This is the first kitchen I've gotten to design and live in completely, and I'm really happy with how it works. The wood counters are lovely to use.
Whit 461, re: the brackets, I found them on clearance for something like $1.45 each at Lowes, in the decking section. They're PVC. I had been indecisive about what to do there, (the counter was propped up with 2x4s to that point) so I was pretty excited.
It's hard to say how long the reno really took, because we were doing the whole house, interior and exterior, plus adding a garage+mudroom and creating pastures for the horses all at the same time. We've owned the house for 10 months at this point. The kitchen was functional but not finished about 3 months after we bought the house.
I'll say that if we were doing only the kitchen, with wiring and drywall in place, we could probably install everything in 2-3 weeks if we were only working on the kitchen. The Ikea cabs were extremely easy to assemble and install. Definitely easier than per-asembled cabinets we've put in other houses.
The paint on all our trim is Valspar's Betsy's Linen. I think it's pretty good match for the Adel off white.
Pendants are off the rack at Lowes, $50 each, I believe. Those are one element that I could see the value of going more expensive on. The finish could be a bit smoother. I'm sure most people would never notice, but someday I'll probably replace them with something else.
kiko, I like the silver leaf, but this kitchen actually turned out a bit more glitzy than I really was going for (accumulation of small choices, lol) and I'm wanting to tone that down a bit. It's fun look, though. :)
I went through the pics of your house and I love your bathroom!
It is really nice to see a budget reno. I have had a hard time looking at most of the kitchens because they are so crazy expensive. We're unwilling to spend that much. We will be building in a few years and will do all of the finishing.
Good luck on your other projects and I hope you share them with us!
IowaCommute, that vanity was an old dresser we found at a garage sale for $20! This is what it looked like when we bought it:

wow, you did an amazing job! your resourcefulness amazes me too! i love your fireplace too.
how about just painting your pantry doors turqiouse and leaving the wood wall as is, maybe just clearcoated or made a little more rustic? that will look so unique and cool! looking forward to your finished kitchen!

Holy cow, this is incredible. Looks like you spent easily three times as much! The individual elements are wonderful in themselves (eg, I envy you your faucet find for $120 and I want to take you shopping with me :)) but all put together is what really makes this kitchen shine. You have a lovely sense of style. Congratulations on your wonderful space.

Can you tell me what the dimensions of your L are? And, if you didn't have the window above your sink (with the fridge where it is) do you think all your light (from patio doors) would be blocked by the fridge? I have a similar layout to yours (or *could* have a similar layout if I remodeled to an L, which I'd like to do), but I am trying to figure out if my "L" is long enough on the 2 legs and if the fridge would block all my light (I can't get a window over the sink like you have). TIA!
Kirkhall, the L is 12'6" to the edge of the fridge, and 9' wide on the stove side (those are empty-room dimensions). I don't find that the fridge blocks the light, but this house does have very good light, with the three sliders, and the skylight above the sink. It's hard to say whether that would translate to another house. Overall, I'm finding this layout really functional, though.
Anne2326, the backsplash was something they had at lowes a while back. It was kind of my splurge for the kitchen, at $10 a SF. It's recycled glass, and a little blingier than I really intended. :-) Here is a closeup (please excuse the lack of counter behind the stove, it's one of the details we haven't gotten around to yet.
Oh, I love some of the Solyx films and have been looking for something to use them on. I could definitely see one of them here.
But, Raenjapan...stocked pantry cute? If it's cute, it's not real. Like a cute display of cook's knives, I think someone really has to try. Maybe scalloped checked shelf paper and a little pile of Campbell's soup cans sitting on a cookbook to set of the collection of porcelain chickens that fills the rest?
I'm terminally disorganized myself, but the humid, buggy South forces me to put stuff in jars and other tight containers. I'll toss all the different dried peppers, specialty flours, or rices in one together (still in their own bags), put the lid on, and tada! Deception. :)
I really like what you're doing and looking forward to more pix. Will you have other projects once the kitchen is finished (for now at least)?
Hmm...I like the solyx films, thanks. I'll definitely consider those. I've painted the wall white, and the doors black. I'd take pics but I've been painting trim for other rooms and the house is a mess right now. Maybe later today.
Not sure about the stile width tbo123. I'll try to remember to measure for you later.
There are always other projects, Rosie! We did a mudroom addition to this house, and I'm trimming that out right now, then I'll get to do built-ins in there. (Honestly, I hate trim work, takes forever and is monotonous, but must be done). We have a bathroom that is just studs and rough-in plumbing right now. I'm looking forward to starting that. The loft needs a few finishing details. The laundry room hasn't really been touched, just tiled and then threw the W/D in there. It looks like crap right now, but at least it's functional. Lots of projects! I'd be happy to share if anyone is interested.
I'm sure they would be, Raenjapan. Visitors looking for ideas and inspiration that don't require large budgets vastly outnumber whose who post plans for pricey kitchens, even if many don't speak up. Plus, it's just plain fascinating to see the results of synergies that develop from creative minds and tight budgets. :)
I'd love to see more! You've proven you are creative and have a good eye-everyone can benefit from that.
We will build a home in another year or two on the family farm. It will be a small 20s look bungalow. We will do almost all of the finishing work. I am a good budget shopper and DIYer, but it would be nice to see the rest of your wonderful house and how you chose your finishes for a higher end look.
Wow! That looks amazing! I agree about the two-toned pantry cabinet--paint the whole thing the same color. I am biased toward turquoise, so I am loving that idea. :) I can't believe you did all that for $7500--including appliances! That is incredible!
I also love your bathroom vanity. That looks gorgeous! Major kudos to you for such a fantastic reno!

Aisha Saeed is one of the founding members of We Need Diverse Books, a grassroots organization created to address the lack of diverse narratives in children's literature. With the publication of Written in the Stars, Saeed is now also a YA author.
David Arnold makes his YA debut with Mosquitoland, the tale of a teen runaway on a 947-mile journey to find her mother. It all begins on a Greyhound bus, but dangers big and small make Mim's journey treacherous and transformative. "I am Mary Iris Malone," our heroine says, "and I am not okay." Through letters to a character named Isabel, as well as through clever, authentic narration, she reveals the confusion, pain and heartwrenching vulnerabilities that spurred this epic journey. BookPage met Arnold when he came through Nashville promoting his book, and it was a delight to pick this new author's brain.
Andrew Smith almost gave up writing for teens in 2011, when an article in The Wall Street Journal blasted his work as being too dark for teen readers. But fans of his previous novels and those who pick up his latest offering, The Alex Crow—will be glad that he stuck to his craft.
Jandy Nelson's I'll Give You the Sun dazzled us with elegantly crafted prose and flawless narrative structure as it switched between the perspectives of twins Noah and Jude. Its captivating balance of heartbreak and hope garnered it the 2015 Printz Award, so we caught up with the San Francisco-based author to find out what it's like to win the Printz.
Teacher/artist Renée Watson makes her YA debut with This Side of Home, a novel about African-American teenage sisters navigating friendships, relationships, school politics and future plans. The sisters' identities are intertwined with issues of class, race and gender, allowing Watson to explore all of these issues through their eyes.
In the dusty, crowded streets of Kolkata, two species of monkeys struggle for dominance and power. It's rhesus versus langur in Richard Kurti's Planet of the Apes-eque debut novel, Monkey Wars. Political stakes are high, blood is spilled, morality becomes hazy and a forbidden romance ignites in this smart, fast-paced story. BookPage contacted Kurti to talk about the inspiration behind his debut, his career as a screenwriter, the darker side of teen lit and more.
From the brilliantly bizarre mind of A.S. King comes a haunting look at a bleak future—not only for teenager Glory O'Brien, but for all women.
Broadcast journalist and foreign correspondent Atia Abawi has spent years on the front lines of war and historical events, covering stories for outlets such as CNN and NBC. During her five-year residency in Afghanistan, Abawi became attuned to the stories of the people, their cultural traditions and the deeply rooted tensions and resulting violence that has plagued the country for so long. Her experiences inspired her first novel, The Secret Sky, which follows the budding romance of two teens from two very different tribes, who must struggle against opposition from both their families and the Taliban in order to forge a life together.
The last thing Emma saw before going blind was the bright, spinning colors of fireworks—and then it all went dark. In the sensitively rendered and beautifully written Blind, Emma shares her story of courage and resilience as she comes to terms with a world that is forever changed. And when her insular hometown is shaken by a local teen's suicide, Emma's own tragedy is placed in sharp relief.
Most of the time, interviews about an author's new novel take place a year or so after the book's completion. So it might take a bit of doing for an author to feel up-to-date, especially if he or she is already ears-deep into the next project. Carlos Ruiz Zafón had to travel much further back in time when he spoke with BookPage from his home in Los Angeles about his fourth young adult novel, Marina: A Gothic Tale, which was first published in his native Spain in 1999.

"good read"

I love how she puts reads it.. Her southern is just right. I'm a yankee born in CT. But she reads the book great.
"Another good read."
This author alway meets my expectations. It is a good storyline without all the blood and gore of some. The reader does an outstanding job.

Does Magnaverde still post? Have an antique to identify.
tiedyeFebruary 20, 2011
Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I wonder if Magnaverde still posts here, and/or if anyone else here can help me identify the style and age of this LR set. I'm trying to sell it and I think I'd have better luck if I could site its age and style.
It consists of a sofa and two chairs. I purchased it for nearly nothing at an estate sale years ago and had it recovered. The cushions are horsehair. It has been called a couple of different things by people visiting me; a Victorian Ladies set, and an art deco style. Two very different things I'd say. I'm clueless. Can't find similar pictures ANYwhere!
Thanks for any help offered!

bathroom floor options other than tile?
Hope to start a small bath renovation this year ... probably be done in stages. First step will be wallpaper removal and painting, followed by a new finish (maybe paint) on the vanity with a granite or quartz counter and white sink. All plumbing fixtures are currently gray. Later we'll get a new white tub and toilet. Need to replace garden window with casement or French casement. And somewhere in the middle will be vinyl floor redo. I originally wanted to use the same pinwheel tile (white w/black) that we have in the other bath, but I'm really leaning away from tile. Don't care for the hardness factor, but I'm stuck for a reliable replacement. Any suggestions?
Hadn't heard about that, sorry. The other option we're considering for when we do our guest bathroom floor are the vinyl tiles that can be grouted. I saw them at Home Depot and loved the way they looked like real tile but didn't come with that hardness factor. The ones they carry I believe are Armstrong which sells the special grout as well, they're water resistant and easy to clean.
Here is a link that might be useful: Groutable vinyl tiles
Anyone familiar with Amtico? I remember seeing it about 6 years ago when we visited a local kitchen showroom. It looked like wood, but it's vinyl.
Here is a link that might be useful: Amtico
Rubber tiles? Link below. Or something like this, which is quite common in Europe, http://www.therubberflooringcompany.co.uk
Here is a link that might be useful: rubber tiles
One of my family members had an Amtico floor in her last house. I'm not generally a fan of faux, but her floor was beautiful, nice to stand on, and easy to take care of. She also had marmoleum in baths. It was also lovely, comfortable, and functional, but she found that the dark color she chose in one of the baths really showed water spots.
I bought a vinyl from Lowe's that has a foam backing. It was a higher end brand and in the most beautiful muted cream pattern so subtle that it just looks warm and inviting. They installed it and it's fab. Much warmer on the feet than my old ceramic and it's texture is almost an anti skid. That was important to me as I'm getting older. On that note I also got a tub with the anti skid on the floor of it. No need for bath mats, yay!
Sue, slate would present the same hardness issue. We're going to take a look at Amtico.
After talking to dh last night we're now thinking seriously about no tub. A walkin shower makes so much more sense for the way we live. When it comes time to sell we can give a tub allowance if that's a deal breaker. More than likely the absence of a master bath en suite would be the real issue, not the lack of a tub in the bath across the hall.
I LOVE the linoleum we had installed in our heavily used bath a few months ago. I like how it feels underfoot, the beautiful swirly colors, and its anti-static properties. While it doesn't smell like anything now, pre-install it had the nicest piney scent.
Natal, it's the reverse. Not having a tub in the master as long as there's one in the house is usually okay. But depending on the size of your house and if the buyers in your area are mostly families (with kids) having a tub only in the master suite is less preferred. That's because parents typically like to have that space to themselves. I understand making the space so it fits your lifestyle, but if resale is in the picture at all, please know that offering an allowance to put one back in could hurt you as well, there are a lot of buyers who just aren't prepared for that much of a renovation.
Lukk, we have two baths. Currently the master has a tub. That's the one we're considering eliminating. Resale is not an issue. I can't see living my life for the next 20 years to appeal to a market that may or may not care one way or the other when we do get ready to sell.
Natal, I also am going to be removing a tub and installing just a shower in my bath. Currently have a tub/shower combo, will be tearing it out and replacing with a shower only. I very seldom use the tub. We are 60 and 65 and showers just makes more sense for us. DH already has a 48"shower in his bath; I am thinking about a 60" (same size as unit I will be removing). That should accomodate a small handicap shower chair should the need arise. You just never know.
Will let the next generation worry about a tub.
Didn't mean to imply that we are too old for tubs now :)...just thinking ahead.
yayagal - can you post a pic of you vinyl floor? I'm thinking of vinyl too for my bathrooms. I do remember seeing a good brand in a creamy color at one of our lowe's. When I looked at another lowe's, they didn't have it!
do you know the color name? brand? the one I saw was Armstrong.
I'd rather not have any breaks in flooring - like tile even if vinyl. no grout lines to worry about or allow water to seep thru.
Natal here's the info on the flooring, it's all one piece, no lines in it and yummy. They don't show a pic of it online but this is all you need when you go to Lowes. This will get you started. Everyone who sees the bathroom first remarks on the floor and how they love it. It has a matte finish.

Lukk, I call it the master, but at one time it was the main bath. Now that we have a second bathroom, dh & I are the only ones you use the main one. If we make the switch it will mean two baths with showers only.
Tuesday, those are the same reasons we're considering the switch. We never use the tub. It's a pain to clean. Would be so nice to have a built-in seat (we did that in the other bath) ... and room, should the need ever arise, for a shower chair. My dad and then my mom had to use one for many years. It was a major hassle for them climbing into a tub.

Time saver!
I would definitely say get printed address seals because it saves so much time when you have so many things to address! Plus, these are not regular size envelopes (they are made to fit the magnet), so it also makes it look better and saves on space! I definitely recommend. I did mine in charcoal, sunbeam and white.
great idea!
the labels and seals matched perfectly! they really complimented the save the dates themselves...i even ordered extras for my actual invitations!
Designed seals, address labels
Nicely designed seals and address labels. Once again, impressed with the quality!

Exclusive: Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney did all he could in Monday's debate to calm voters' fears that he would revert to George W. Bush's neocon foreign policy. But there was one telling slip-up when Romney signaled that his heart remains with the neocon plan to remake the Middle East, reports Robert Parry.
Lost History
Stumbling into Disastrous Wars
The pundits say America's economic angst will trump worries about war in the Nov. 6 election. However, as Americans learned a decade ago, careless foreign policies can have disastrous consequences, a lesson that ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar also traces back one and two centuries.
The October Surprise Mysteries
With hopes brightening that President Obama is close to a negotiated settlement of the Iran nuclear dispute, Mitt Romney's campaign is eager to counter any positive news. The moment is reminiscent of past October Surprise moments, says Robert Parry in this article adapted from America's Stolen Narrative.
Introduction to Parry's New Book
Robert Parry's new book, America's Stolen Narrative, is now available for sale, in print or electronically (from Amazon and barnesandnoble.com). The book's introduction explains why the theft of key chapters of America's historical narrative, from the Founding to Barack Obama's presidency, have been so costly to the nation and the world.
'America's Stolen Narrative'
From Journalist Robert Parry: When my new book, America's Stolen Narrative, returns from the printers in the next few days, I am setting aside the first 250 copies as part of a critical fundraiser to keep Consortiumnews.com afloat.
The Arms Dilemma in Syria
Much of Official Washington is clamoring for President Obama to arm the Syrian rebels, but the civil war in Syria is reminiscent of the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan in which the Reagan administration ended up helping hard-line Islamists who then turned against the U.S., notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Warnings from the Cuban Missile Crisis
Special Report: Amid the trivia of American politics, voters can forget that they are entrusting the winning candidate for President with the nuclear codes, the power to annihilate all life on the planet, a reality that reporter Don North witnessed up close a half century ago in the Cuban missile crisis.
When 'Lesser-Evil' Misses the Point
The American Left is engaged in its quadrennial debate, whether to vote for "the lesser evil" Democrat or maintain political purity and either boycott the election or cast a ballot for a minor-party candidate. A similar argument in 1968 helped change the course of U.S. history, Ted Lieverman recalls.
Bill O'Reilly's Outdated 'Killing Kennedy'
Exclusive: Fox News' Bill O'Reilly and co-author Martin Dugard are hoping for another financial "killing" with their Killing Kennedy. But the new book may have a bigger agenda, solidifying popular history behind the Warren Report on JFK's murder and tearing down his character, writes Jim DiEugenio.
How to Save the Middle Class
Many Americans don't know where the Great Middle Class came from. They see it as a natural outgrowth of "free-market capitalism" when it was really the product of conscious government policies, starting with the New Deal. That confusion must be addressed in this political season, says Beverly Bandler.

Harbaugh: Crabtree's quick return 'rare'
Thursday, January 16, 2014 at 5:30 PM | Comments
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers' offense has taken it to the next level in the six games since star receiver Michael Crabtree has returned from a torn Achilles injury in May.Before Crabtree's return, the 49ers' offense lacked dimension and spark. Now, it is a varied, dangerous offense. His return is a major reason why the 49ers are preparing to play in the NFC championship at Seattle on Sunday.Crabtree's coaches are not taking his return for granted.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Although tribes of the Blackfoot Confederacy have historically relied on bison for food, shelter and clothing, free-ranging bison have not been part of the sweeping landscape just east of the Northern Rockies in Montana and Canada for more than a century.
Tribes bring bison plan to legislative panel
Now tribal leaders say they want to bring the animal back.
Blackfoot Confederacy leaders representing the tribe in northwestern Montana and several tribes in Canada told a legislative panel this week that they want to work with them and other partners to make it happen.
Blackfeet Tribe member and Intertribal Buffalo Council President Ervin Carlson told the State-Tribal Relations Committee in Helena that he and others came to start a dialogue about the Innii Initiative and to garner support. Innii (ee' nee) means buffalo in the Blackfeet language.
"We'd like to return (bison) back to Indian Country and especially back to the Blackfoot Confederacy, possibly with some roaming between Canada and us on the Rocky Mountain Front," Carlson said. "There's such a resistance to them right now. We just want to show you our side. It's a good side — it's all good."
Tribal leaders have been working on the initiative since 2010 with partners including the Wildlife Conservation Society. They said they have studied the educational, economic and cultural components of the idea.
Paulette Fox, a member of the Blood Tribe who works for the government of Alberta, Canada, traveled to Helena for the meeting. Fox said it's important to understand the initiative came from tribal elders.
"They have given a lot of thought and strategic guidance," she said. "There's a lot of integrity around how we use buffalo."
The U.S. Canadian border separating the Blackfoot Confederacy has had a negative impact, and this initiative would help the tribes reconnect, Fox said.
Although legislators appeared to listen carefully during the meeting, moving bison from Yellowstone National Park to other areas of Montana has been fraught with controversy and lawsuits.
Livestock owners have said they worry about bison competing with cattle for grazing space, knocking down fences and spreading a disease called brucellosis, which is feared by ranchers because it can cause pregnant cows to prematurely abort their young.

Would You Like To Be The Second PCH "Forever" Prize Winner?
December 7, 2013 Blog:
What does it feel like to become a Publishers Clearing House "Forever" Prize winner? Well, only one person in the world knows firsthand — John Wyllie of White City, Oregon. John became our very first "Forever" Prize winner in August.
But now that the February 28th Prize Event has been announced … and we all know the "Forever" Prize is BACK…there could be a second PCH "Forever" Prize winner very soon. Don't you want it to be YOU?
I bet you do! Face it, we all want to leave something for future generations and the "Forever" Prize could help you achieve that. If you win, you'd receive payments of $5,000.00 for the rest of your life and then after that, payments of $5,000.00 would continue on for the life of a beneficiary of your choice.
I recently caught up with John to find out what he's been up to since the Prize Patrol surprised him on August 31st. He has a few big changes in the works.
On John's "to-do" list — buy a house to share with his father. He's also looking forward to purchasing a new car. "I'm looking at a Mercedes," he beamed.
In the meantime, John is focusing on paying off his bills and adjusting to life as a local celebrity. "Everybody knows about it. Sometimes people will come up and congratulate me and tell me that they saw me on the news," John admitted. One piece of advice John shares with his well wishers is to enter at PCH online. "You can do it every day," he adds.
Another perk of being a PCH "Forever" Prize winner? Peace of mind. John named his son David as his beneficiary and said that he told him to split it with his sister. "It's a big relief to know that my kids will be ok," John admitted.
We at PCH wish John all the best, and we're so excited to look ahead to new winners on the horizon … maybe even a second "Forever" Prize winner on February 28th.
Take John's advice and enter online every day in as many ways as you can! Maybe our next Forever Prize winner will be YOU!
Good luck!

Claremont convent ravaged by fire to be razed
Late Monday afternoon, Claremont Fire Chief Rick Bergeron said the fire was about 99 percent extinguished. Firefighters were working with an excavator, who arrived Monday afternoon, he said. The excavator was pulling parts of the collapsed building away so firefighters could put out hot spots inside the walls of the old convent.
"We still had hidden spot fires burning inside the masonry walls," Bergeron said.
Bergeron said he did not want to speculate on the cause of the fire, saying the state fire marshal's office is leading the investigation into the cause. He expects a report of their finding to be released in the next day or so, he said.
The initial tone went out at 2:25 a.m. on Sunday, Bergeron said. The fire engine arrived on scene at 2:28 a.m. Five minutes later Bergeron arrived and said he knew right away the convent building was too far gone to save, but that the St. Mary School building — now the New England Classical Academy — next door, as close as 15 to 16 feet at some spots to the old convent, was in danger of catching fire.
"It was touch and go for a while as embers and ashes were dropping all over the neighborhood," Bergeron said.
"That's the good news," he said. "The fact that we were able to prevent it from getting into the grammar school is the second piece of good news."
The old convent building was built in the 1830s, but had not been used in years. The building, however, was important for its historic significance, Bergeron said. It was one of five Greek Revival style homes on Central Street.
St. Mary School was the oldest Catholic school in the state when it closed in 2009. A high school affiliated with the school closed about 45 years ago.
The former St. Mary School buildings are home to New England Classical Academy, a private school for kindergarten through high school. However, New England Classical did not use the former convent, which had been vacant for many years.

openSUSE Build Service
The openSUSE Build Service is a free online service for building binary packages.
One reason Novell created the community-based openSUSE project was to invite contributions from independent developers. To highlight this emphasis on outside help, Novell also unveiled a new online service that automatically builds binary packages from source code. The openSUSE Build Service initially focused on building packages for the SUSE variants – openSUSE, SLES, and SLED – but the tool was later extended to support packages for other major distributions, such as Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, and Ubuntu.
The openSUSE Build Service, which builds packages for the i586, x86_64, and PowerPC platforms, also tracks changes to dependencies and rebuilds packages automatically to ensure that all the pieces fit together. A developer who makes a change to the project source code just needs to configure the appropriate build specifications, and the Build Service automatically generates new binary packages for all the major Linux distributions. Packages created by the Build Service then become available to Internet users. The system is equipped with a powerful software search mechanism and a redirector infrastructure, which automatically redirects users to efficient mirror servers. YaST and other software management systems can add the project directories as installation sources.

So the only place for the profits to go is to bonuses or shareholder profits.
How about put it in the friggin' bank so we don't have to use taxpayer money to bail you out when there's a bust in the market that you're gambling in?
Although I read and enjoyed much of the early WoT and find the mythos of the world interesting, in the end the lack of good editing and plot resolution leaves it out of the running for great fantasy. GRR Martin's Song of Fire and Ice is a much, much better literary series than Jordan's, although it may cross a boundary of what's "acceptable" to be taught in many school settings.
But series may not be what you want to use if you are going for breadth. Instead, I'd strongly recommend GG Kay's Tigana and Lions of Al-Rassan as excellent, single-novel works that are probably better being self-contained for a class. For a change of pace, Pratchett's Discworld series is perfect for introducing a bit of comedic parody to the otherwise dominantly dramatic genre. The books are self-contained and many parallel other literature, which may be fun to explore. His co-authored Good Omens is another great option for a class being self contained, which reminds me that Gaiman's American Gods is probably another good suggestion...
It is the quality rather than the quantity that matters. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 B.C. - A.D. 65)

High school football: Costly semifinal mistakes can't diminish what Titans accomplished this season
"East is great; they work hard and you can see it in the way they play," Meier said. "They've got a lot of playmakers. ... It was an honor to play someone like East. They weren't in our region but we always kept our eye on them. ... To stick with them for the first half is just awesome and it just shows what we can do. And they second half shows what East can do. They're playmakers and they work hard."
Coach Whitehead agreed with that assessment of the power-packed Leopards (13-0), who came into Thursday's semifinal averaging 51.5 points per game this season and a whopping 58 ppg over its previous seven wins.
"That's a really good football team, and we hung with 'em and we played well against 'em," said Whitehead, who coached at East High from 2003-07. "Our defense did, and I wish our offense would've — I didn't do a good enough job preparing them. I feel terrible about that. But I'll tell you what, their defense did an outstanding job and you play against a team like that, you can't make the mistakes we made.
"The worst saying ever, and it's one that I refuse to say is 'What if?' And we don't want to play a game of 'What ifs.' We chalk this up to experience and these young men, I'll tell you what, they've faced adversity all year long and they've come out on top the majority of the time.
"And they're going to have experiences in life when they're going to face adversity again as fathers, and they won't back down," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. "I'm proud of them."

Barton Welcomes Linda Beatrice Brown on Oct. 23 For Victor R. Small Writers Series Lecture
· In Events, Literature, News, Speakers
WILSON, N.C. — Barton College will welcome novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist Linda Beatrice Brown for the upcoming Victor R. Small Writers Series' Fall Lecture scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. The lecture will be held in The Sam and Marjorie Ragan Writing Center on campus. This event is open to the public at no charge, and the community is invited to attend.
Dr. Brown has published three novels: "Rainbow 'Roun Mah Shoulder," "Crossing Over Jordan," and "Black Angels," a Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books selection for 2009. "Black Angels," her first book for young readers, tells the story of three orphans finding a way to survive during the American Civil War. It takes us, in the words of poet Nikki Giovanni, "on a marvelous journey to America's best self when we struggled to free the future of hate and fear."
Her book of poetry is titled "A Love Song to Black Men," and she also published "The Long Walk: A History of the Presidency of Willa B. Player at Bennett College." Dr. Brown's work has appeared in "O'Henry Festival Stories," "Black Scholar," "Religion and Intellectual Life," "Ebony Junior," and the children's magazine "Cricket."
Among her three plays brought to the stage is "Congo's River Song," produced by the North Carolina Museum of Art in 2001. Dr. Brown is the Willa B. Player Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Bennett College for Women in Greensboro, North Carolina, where she teaches African American Literature.
This program is sponsored by the Department of English, Modern Languages, and Religion. For additional information, please contact Dr. Rebecca Godwin, director of The Sam and Marjorie Ragan Writing Center, at 252-399-6364 or email: email@example.com.
Questions? Please contact Kathy Daughety, director of public relations, at 252-399-6529 or email: email@example.com.

Question from Tara M.: I just moved a couple states away from my boyfriend for a new job. We're having trouble adjusting to the distance and need some new ways to keep in touch and keep our relationship strong. How can social media help my long-distance relationship?Â
Answers from Our Love Experts:
Tristan Coopersmith, Love Stylist:Â Ok, so maybe there's no app (yet) to teleport couples to each other in a time of need or desire, but these days, technology truly is a long-distance relationship (LDR) couple's best friend! Since you have probably already exhausted phone, texts and Gchat, here are a few more inventive ideas to try.
1. Send your honey an evite for a TV night. You can watch a show together via Skype, while munching on your favorite treats. During commercials, catch up on your day.
2. Use Google Hangout to arrange for double dates with other LDR couple friends.
3. Play a game together like Words with Friends, Scramble or Gems with Friends. You can even create a weekly game night and play all night together. Don't forget to send cute chat messages in between plays!
4. Create a photo calendar where each day has a theme, such as silly picture day or naughty picture day.
Don't forget though, too much technology can get burdensome and boring, so be sure to take a tech break once in a while. Instead, send an old fashioned letter or care package.
Suzanne Oshima, Matchmaker:Â A long-distance relationship can be tough on both people, but with technology and social media today, there are so many creative options to help you keep the relationship alive and going strong.
Let's start with texting. A simple "good morning" text is the best way to start the day, and a sexy, steamy "good night" text is a great way to end it.
When you can't see him in person, there's nothing better than Skype. Be creative and plan a dinner date night over Skype. You can make dinner together, catch up on each other's day and then sit down to a candle-lit meal. It's one of the best ways to remain a part of each other's daily lives.
During the day, when you don't have time to talk to each other, just send him a sexy voice note or quick video to let him know your thinking of him. Trust me, it will make his day!
And lastly, when it comes to Facebook and Twitter, posting a "thinking of you" status update or photo can light up his day…but one word of caution: don't go too overboard, or you will become that annoying couple to all your friends.
Just remember, if you're creative at utilizing social media and technology, it can actually bring you closer together as a couple, making you feel like less far apart physically.
Paige Wyatt, Reality Star:Â The first thing that comes to mind is video chat! Video-chatting with your boyfriend gives you two a whole new means of communication. It allows you to actually see each other, which is sometimes exactly what you need. It's much more personal than just talking on the phone and definitely more personal than talking through text. When you video chat with your boyfriend, make sure you have enough time to devote to him and your conversation. Get rid of any potential distractions, and you should be golden!

"We met with John Fisher and he helped us from the design of the barn all the way through to completion. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is unbelievable. If you are in the market for a barn, Precise Buildings is the company to use...."
—Ron Weber
"John Fisher and the guys from Precise Buildings have been fantastic to work with. As an owner of an older barn of 40 horses, I found it hard to find a builder with the knowledge, experience, and willingness to repair and restore these older farm buildings...."
—Andrew Philbrick
"Dear John I am so happy with this beautiful barn, our family loves being in it and so will the horses. Alvin and his crew were a pleasure and respectful of the property, hard working and just nice to be around. They added features that I hadn't thought of that will make my life easier. I'd recommend your company to anyone."
—Frances Rudner
