Swansea downs high-flying West Brom
SWANSEA, Wales (AP)
Relive the best images from week 14 of the Premier League.
Swansea used a dominating first-half performance to bring high-flying West Bromwich Albion's excellent run to a halt with a 3-1 victory at home in Premier League on Wednesday.
The Baggies were overrun in the opening 45 minutes, as Michu scored his ninth goal of the season and Wayne Routledge added a double to give the hosts a 3-0 lead.
Romelu Lukaku pulled one back for the Baggies just before halftime but, despite an improved second-half display, Steve Clarke' side couldn't get any closer to a comeback.
West Brom was looking to record a fifth straight win in the top flight for the first time in 34 years.

This Extraordinarily Loving Dog Loves When His Owner Sings to Him [VIDEO]

Okay, what is going on with goats? Don't they know that cats are the animals that dominate the Internet.
Here's a story that will make you squeal with delight. A family in Mt. Carmel, Illinois escaped injury last weekend after its pet pig awoke them when the trailer they all live in caught fire.
Gambling can become an addiction, one that affects us all. Even cats.
Cats have many enemies — dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.
Okay, we suspected the animal kingdom was planning to take over the planet and it's official: it's beginning with party games.
I thought I had the 'Eye of the Tiger,' but it wasn't ment to be. Maybe if 'Mickey' had been in my corner, things would've turned out differently.
There may not be a stronger bond than that of mother and child. That was proven in spades when this mother bear saved her cub from oncoming traffic on a Canadian highway.
Here's a pooch that needs some serious work on his catching skills.
Her owner is trying to teach her how to catch. It looked like they had a way to go before we finally see all the hard work and practice pay off

Just having some fun with this song Under Attack by ABBA, that's been singing around my head all day. It just hasn't stopped – it seems to have been on a continuous head loop.
I'm pretty sure ABBA didn't intend the song be about dinosaur attacks, but as I'm in "a bit of a place" at the moment it seems fitting – and lots of fun – to bring Lara Croft, a T-rex, and ABBA together somehow :)

Please help with choosing window treatment in new kitchen!
I desperately need to make a decision on a window treatment for our kitchen window. I cannot leave it bare, as we get direct sunlight through the window allll afternoon, making it hard to cook if its really strong. Plus we need some privacy.
I will attach some (unstaged!) recent photos and a link to my kitche reveal from December. If anyone has a vision of what would look best please share!!
On the other 2 major sets of windows on my first floor, I have dark ivory double layer roman shades. They work well for now and I don't plan on replacing them. Someday when we get replacement windows (within next 5 years hopefully, but no time very soon) I'd consider replacing them, but for now they stay.
I also have the sliding patio doors which we need something on for privacy and for some light control, but that's not as urgent. I really don't know what to put there either, because we didn't really leave enough room for anything to hang down on the left side of the door, the counter ends rather close to it, my daughter sits there all the time, panels there would be in the way I think.
So for the kitchen, I first thought I wanted some sort of natural woven wood shade, in a dark tone to tie in with my coffee stained cherry wood island. But then I worry those will look dated, will get dirty, are too informal...but I still like them.
Today I went in Lowes and found what I thought was perfect, I almost ordered on the spot, but now I'm having doubts & that's why I'm posting...
Fabric Blinds by Bali. I really like them, and think I like this Pebble color. Its just enough contrast without being too dark. I love that they're lightweight, the light control I'd have, the color, and they're relatively an inexpensive option.
But, fabric shades? Just not sure about them. Not sure they're "nice" enough to put on this large window that is the focal point of the whole kitchen.
Heres the sample...do you like it?
I had also been considering a wood blind, in a stained wood tone to match the island. I thought that was a great idea, but then worried when closed it will just be too dark. Also worry about keeping dark wood clean behind a kitchen sink. Dust & water spots...
Sample wood blind
Also thinking I could play it safe and get a white wood blind. Also think this will work best if I ever get ne windows & want new window treatments to all all match through house. But afraid its too much white in the kitchen. But what if I break it up with those fabric tapes running down each side in maybe a gray or blue fabric.
Lastly, would a custom fabric in some sort of print look best? Perhaps with drapes to match on the sliders? I would like to see some fabric in these rooms, but I worry about the expense of that, and if I even have room for panels next to my sliders.
Sorry so long, any advice is sooo appreciated!
Here is a link that might be useful: Homebuyer23 Reveal
WOW!!! What a beautiful space you have made for your family. You did an awesome job. I agree your window is beautiful & I love an open window, but understand the reasons for needing to cover it too.
I think you could have a little fun with the window covering and add a pop of color and pattern and tie it throughout the kitchen/dining area. I'm picturing a roman shade that when open shows just a little material, enough to give it some color and make a statement. Also, I was thinking if you are concerned about getting the shade wet or dirty, etc. You could have a fake roman look valance that would always look open. And then attach a less expensive white blind behind it; therefore, when the blind is opened, it would hide behind the treatment and showcase your gorgeous window. Here is a picture on houzz, but I think you could have a material with more pizazz in your lovely space.
Also, thank you so much for posting this as you have helped me in my dilemma. We are finishing our home and I have been having regrets on ordering our builtins in a darker stain to flank our fireplace. Seems everywhere I look, they are painted white. You have a fresh, open, bright, inviting space......with dark builtins...yeah!!! Are they both black??? Also, I was having mild panic attacks (lol) on the fireplace hearth and mantel. I'm assuming it came with the house? Is the hearth black? And do you know anything about the mantel. Thank you!!!
Oh, and for the TV. Our built-ins are like this with the doors going in...
Our TV sits on a wood unit, like an upside down tray with pull-out hardware, so,you just pull -out the entire thing and then our TV can be angled any direction too. Think of an inside kitchen cabinet with a pull out, the same idea (upside down) the same glider pulls are used.
Check out the website from Smith and Noble -- perhaps woven shades for the windows -- and the site might have some ideas for the patio doors too ....
Here is a link that might be useful: Smith and Noble -- maybe their woven shades?
I would not do anything dark. I think a fabric shade in a pretty fabric would be nice and either the same fabric or coordinating one for your slider. You might also want to consider remote control over the sink since it will be difficult to reach a cord. Beautiful kitchen!
I would want filtered light coming in instead of blocking it completely. The best lighting in a white kitchen is from the sun or it gets a bit depressing. Which is why I think a heavy white, semi-sheer would work.
With semi-sheers, you get to keep the natural light but not worry about the light getting in your face.
We have a couple of awnings on some west windows and they work pretty good. Later in the day when the sun is setting the direct sunlight will shine in the room.
Beautiful home and window.
I agree to add some softness to the space and I think a dark woven wood blind will be too dark...rather, keep it softer and lighter.
I like window treatments, so I would look for a double layer. I'd probably want a balloon or other softer, gathered look for the outside out of a gray and white fabric, or maybe use the fabric to add an accent color to the room, like a soft blue, and then some shade underneath for privacy and light control...like duettes or roller shades... that will disappear underneath.

Finely woven grass so as to give light and texturing, give some beautiful shadowing and not detract from the loveliness of your kitchen. I think pattern/prints detract from such an exquisite kitchen. I don't like fabrics in the kitchen anyway secondary to steam and oils in food. They have to be dry cleaned frequently and I am not much into taking down and putting back up for dry cleaning.
Thanks so much for all the comments, suggestions and photos.
I agree with most that I could use some color/fabric in here.
I decided abruptly the other day to just go order those 2" fabric blinds from Lowes. There's something about them I like, and the price was so low, (compared to a roman shade, esp. one from Smith & Noble) I figure they will be OK for a while and will solve the immediate problem of the glaring sun. If I don't love them (likely), Ill start saving up for a custom fabric shade which I do think Id like the most. I'm just in that too tired to think anymore spot & wanted to get something up. Also I didn't expect this but the woman at Lowes told me I can even return them if I hate them so theres no risk! I didn't think you could return a custom size blind...that's a perk of shopping the big box stores I guess.
The pictures were very helpful as I realized maybe I could try a runner or 2 on the floors in the kitchen to add some color? I notice a lot of the kitchens posted above have nice runners.
Mommyto4boys - Thanks so much for the compliments, seriously it makes me feel so good. Especially in regard to my dining room/fireplace. I had originally wanted to do built-ins flanking the fireplace (went back and forth on if I'd do white or dark stain). Our budget ran out though, and so I'm living with the 2 pieces of furniture we already had. The china cabinet on the left is black, the other cabinet is a liquor/bar cabinet from Ikea and its a dark brown.
The fireplace was red brick with a oak mantle shelf, brass screen and dark gray slate hearth. I whitewashed the brick, changed the screen and painted the mantle White dove.
I think your dark built ins will look great! What does your fireplace look like?
I realize the original poster has made a decision, but I thought I would mention that it is possible to make your own roller shade from fabric. At least, I did this for my daughter's nursery in 1974! I used a sheet that matched her comforter, attached it to a blind roller that I bought from a window covering shop, sprayed it with some sort of sizing that at that time was sold for that purpose, put a lightweight piece of wood into the hem for the bottom of the blind, and attached something (I don't remember what) for a pull. Shade looked fabulous and worked fine.

just right for our space
The bench is as described by other reviewers; very sturdy and attractive. It is just the right size for our entry.Read More
Great little bench
I love my bench .. it sits in the foyer and gets everything from coats to school books thrown on it everyday. Sturdy and doesn't show scratches ... love it!Read More
I love my bench. I get complements all the time on this bench. Very sturdy. I have had the bench over a year and it looks like new.Read More
Excellent value and adaptable style
This bench is just a little quirky--not quite classical and not quite modern. I was worried that the odd proportions on the arms wouldn't work in my Early American home, but it does somehow.The back is comfortable enough for a short sit--just right for a bedroom bench. I wouldn't want to sit in it more than about 5 minutes because the top rail would bother my back.(I'm 5'4") The wood is not overly polished like so many inexpensive benches. I really like the chocolatey shade of brown--think semi-sweet.You can see a little wood grain,too. No bad odor. Easy to assemble. Excellent price. Mine had a few scratches on the wood, but for the price I don't mind. This is one of the best inexpensive furniture purchases I've made.Read More
Not a good deal
I was extremely disappointed with the quality of this product. I was so excited when I ordered it, after reading all of the great reviews. I thought it was a piece of junk. It looked really cheap, not even close to the photo. To make matters worse, the pieces were damaged. One of the end pieces, where the armrest was looked like it was carved from a rotten piece of wood, which was deformed. The best part of this experience was the customer service team at overstock, who empathized with my dis-satisfaction, allowed me to return the defective product free of charge and refunded my purchase price.Read More
Great foyer bench
I purchased this bench to replace an old one in my foyer. It is sturdy for sitting and well made for the price, and the color is just a wee bit darker than the online photo. My husband put it together in a jiffy. I really like the design, interesting but not too ornate. I looked for almost a year to find a bench I like, and this one fits the bill. It was delivered when promised.Read More
Perfect Bench
First of all, it is small, so make sure you look at the measurements before you purchase to make sure it's what you're looking for; I saw some complaints about that. I was looking for a small bench to fit in the area from my garage. This bench is perfect! The wood looks great, the stain is beautiful and looks great with my hardwood floors. I put it together myself, and it was simple. It was sent to me nicely packaged and well protected. I have no complaints!Read More
Cute entry bench!
I purchased this as an entry way bench to store shoes under and bags on. I do not have a large entry way so I measured before I ordered. Its perfect for my space. The color is more cherry but its nice and that is not a deal breaker for me. I put it together in less than 15 minutes. Its like 8 large screws and 4 pieces (wood bench pieces). I think its a deal! I would definitely recommend it.Very classic piece that would fit nice in any room.Read More
Beautiful bench!
I love this bench! Yes, it's small so make sure you check the measurements before ordering this. It is heavily varnished that the color actually sticks to your hands when assembling this. Don't worry though coz it goes away after wiping it with a dry cloth and letting it air for some days. Easy to put together and will get a number of compliments, for sure! We placed the bench in our entry way beside a very tall indoor plant. It looked beautiful! I second the other reviewer who mentioned about putting a small pillow.. it's a nice touch to the bench.Read More
This is a good bench for the price point. Careful not to scratch while putting together. Makes a nice presentation in the room .Read More

Green larvae all over garden
Hello there. So, I planted calendulas for salves and salads and because they are very pretty. Well, they were growing at a fine rate and started producing flowers, but then I noticed the holes. Of course, the first thing I did was check underneath the leaves. What I saw was hundreds of tiny green caterpillar looking bugs nibbling away! At first it was all right. I picked them off and started spraying the leaves with diluted dish washer detergent and I had no more troubles. Occasionally I'd find one or two on a dill plant or a bush bean, but they never many. I went on a month long vacation, leaving my garden in the hands of my trusted neighbor and I told her to spray the calendulas. Well about 3 weeks into it she said that tiny green caterpillars tore apart my cucumbers, cilantro, an Lemonbalm! I can't possibly spray them all...any ideas on ways to deal with these with no harmful pesticides or gruesome caterpillar murder? Perhaps plants that repel them? I'd really appreciate the help.
this might be of use to you

A Generalization of Hawking's Black Hole Topology Theorem to Higher Dimensions

Hawking's theorem on the topology of black holes asserts that cross sections of the event horizon in 4-dimensional asymptotically flat stationary black hole spacetimes obeying the dominant energy condition are topologically 2-spheres. This conclusion extends to outer apparent horizons in spacetimes that are not necessarily stationary. In this paper we obtain a natural generalization of Hawking's results to higher dimensions by showing that cross sections of the event horizon (in the stationary case) and outer apparent horizons (in the general case) are of positive Yamabe type, i.e., admit metrics of positive scalar curvature. This implies many well-known restrictions on the topology, and is consistent with recent examples of five dimensional stationary black hole spacetimes with horizon topology S 2 × S 1. The proof is inspired by previous work of Schoen and Yau on the existence of solutions to the Jang equation (but does not make direct use of that equation).

The Nevada state constitution requires that the state legislature provide "all suitable means the promotion of intellectual, literary, scientific, mining, mechanical, agricultural, and moral improvements." Additionally, the legislature must establish and maintain a school in each school district for a minimum of 6 months in every year. The state is prohibited from providing funding for sectarian schools.[1]
School revenues, expenditures and budget
- See also: Nevada state budget
For the 2009-2011 biennium Nevada had a total budget of $27.81 billion.[2] Education accounted for $3.63 billion, 13.05%, of the total statewide budget.[3]
In April 2009 Nevada officials stated that the state was facing a budget gap of about $2.2 billion. Gov. Jim Gibbons' budget director said the total could approach $3 billion.[4] In 2008 in response to the state's budget crisis, the Governor withdrew $267 million from the rainy day fund however the funds were not enough to cover approximately $1.2 billion in cuts that were later made.[5] In addition, the Gov. Gibbons proposed a 6 percent salary cut for all state employees and a 36 percent cut for higher education for fiscal year 2010.[6]
The cost per pupil is $8,285, ranking 44th in the nation according the Census Bureau 2007-2008 report.[7]
Personnel salaries
According to the American Federation of Teachers, Nevada ranked 19th in the nation for average teacher salary for the 2006-07 school year. In the 2006-07 school year the average teacher salary was $49,426, a 7.2% increase from 2005-06. Nevada ranked 18th in beginning teacher salaries - $35,480, a 2.6% increase from 2005-06.[8]

Role of unions
The main union related to the Nevada school system is Nevada State Education Association, an affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA). For the 2003 tax period the union had: $7.25 million in total revenue, $6.70 million in total expenses and $3.67 million in total assets.[10]
List of local Nevada school unions:[11]
Role of school boards
State Board of Education is comprised of ten members and a non-voting student representative. Members are elected on a nonpartisan ballot for four-year terms. Board members cannot serve more than three consecutive terms. Specifically, 7 members are elected from Clark, Lincoln and Nye Counties, 1 member is elected from Washoe County and 2 members are elected from the remaining 13 counties.[12]
There are 107 school board members across the state, serving on 5 or 4 member boards for each of the 17 countywide school districts.[13]
Taxpayer-funded lobbying
- See also: Nevada government sector lobbying
The main education government sector lobbying organization is the Nevada Association of School Boards. Every one of Nevada's school districts is a member of the organization.[14]
On January 15, 2009 Governor Jim Gibbons launched a statewide searchable online database for financial data called Nevada Open Government.[15]
A 2009 study, Leaders and Laggards, conducted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for a Competitive Workplace, Frederick M. Hess of the conservative American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, and the Center for American Progress, gave Nevada: "F" in academic achievement; "C" in truth in advertising about student proficiency; "C" in rigor of standards; "F" in post-secondary and workforce readiness; "A" in for its teacher workforce policies; "B" in data quality.[16]

* Nifty futures on the Singapore Exchange rise 0.18 percent. The MSCI-Asia Pacific index excluding Japan is up 0.75 percent. * The yen falls to a 7-1/2-month low versus the dollar, lifting Japan's Nikkei share average to a six-month high, on mounting expectations of aggressive policy action under a likely new government. * Asian stocks outside Japan are also in demand and investors will focus on HSBC China flash PMI for November due later on Thursday to see whether a low point for China, the world's second largest economy, is over. * Foreign investors bought 1.82 billion rupees of stocks on Wednesday, when the BSE index rose 0.72 percent. * Investors seem to be pinning their hopes on the government being able to gain some traction on bills to liberalise the insurance, pension and banking sectors during the winter session of parliament which begins on Thursday. * Public sector stocks also on watchlist after India is to allow state-run Life Insurance Corp (LIC) to triple the maximum stake it can hold in other companies to 30 percent in a move seen as helping a government sell-off of its own holdings in a range of firms.

Black-Eyed Peas Soup
Made This Recipe? Add Your Photo
Total Time
3hrs 5mins
Prep5 mins
Cook3 hrs
I had a nice big ham shank left over from Easter. I kept it in a frreezer bag and knew I would be cooking it with blackeyed peas. I decided on a soup to have with cornbread. This cool, very rainy day was a perfect time to cook it. It pretty much cooks itself.
- Place ham bone in large pan with water and bay leaf. Cover and bring to boil and turn to medium heat. Let simmer approximately two hours or until all remaining ham comes off bone. Remove bone and add chicken broth, celery, onion, peas and additional water if needed. Cover and simmer approximately one hour. Add seasonings according to your taste.
- This goes very well with homemade cornbread.

Live plants for Holidays?
What plants are you using, inside or outside, to add to the holiday festivities? For me this year, like last year, is the blooming red mandevilla, I think it's called Red Parasol. It's got waxy dark green leaves and bright red, not pink, flowers. I don't know if they're available anymore, I got mine at Target two months ago, and it's now blooming like crazy and goes indoors with the Pointsettias. I'll give it to my parents in Vegas, and will also use Red Amaryllis and red and green succulents. I'm hoping also to find red tulips and blooming red azaleas.
It's expensive, but you can always plant them outside or give it away after the holidays.
I like my Amaryllis. I always buy a new bulb each October or November, but I keep all the old ones, too. After it has warmed enough in spring, I take the old bulbs outside, repot them into nice, new potting soil and tuck them in among my other patio container plants (trust me--the way I plant a few ratty Amaryllis recovering don't show). Once the bulbs go completely dormant, they get stuck on the side of the house so they won't get any more water for a while--just the casual splash now and then.
Surprisingly, some of the bulbs bloom a second time in midsummer. Some of them bloom again in winter. In any case, I drag everything that is still viable inside at the first frost, and let them grow again.
Red Amaryllis in full bloom is a star of the garden indoors or out. Your technique for regrowing sounds lots easier than refrigerating it, etc. and replanting the following year. I typically just buy blooming plants, and then when faded, stick them somehwere and hope for the best!

Tile to Ditra to wood subfloor... Again
Hi guys!
I am starting a new project and needed a quick refresher from my favorite experts.
I am going to be laying tile over Ditra which will be applied to a subfloor. The subfloor is over a crawlspace that has a vapor barrier underneath but the crawl space is damp (in the Adirondacks- the house is by a pond) in 2 separate areas.
My plan is floor- to- modified thinsest- to Ditra- to - unmodified thinset- to tile.
If this is correct (I totally cannot remember how I did it last time!!) I would appreciate the latest and greatest brand recommendations on modified and unmodified thinset.
Also, I will be Tiling the mud room and the area in front of the front door. I was going to look at some of the Schluter Transition profiles as I have otherwise no idea how to transition from the tile to the wood floor. We are trying to match the heights- it's a new wood floor too. I remember skimming this info way back when in passing.
Guidance? I feel like I have amnesia from all the work I did and all the reading I did a few years ago!
Over a proper wood subfloor material, Ditra gets set to the subfloor with a modified thinset.
Tile over Ditra with an unmodified thinset.
Thinset recommendations? Any modified thinset will work fine for the Ditra-to-subfloor installation.
For your unmodified thinset I recommend Ditra-set.
As to height-matching floors, there is Ditra, and then there is Ditra-XL. "XL" is thicker, the idea being that the thickness of Ditra-XL plus thinset and tile will be equal to the thickness of a 3/4" hardwood floor.
Thanks Mongo. I did use the Ditra set last time and I loved it.
For the modified thinset, is this one that can be mixed with water or should it be an additive?
I expect this application to have a much greater failure potential than the last area that was above a finished space. This house is open and shut numerous times during the year and sees very large temperature swings.
Also, as the area in front of the front door is just a small "cut out" of the floor, the only product I am aware of to bridge the wood to the tile is the one linked below. It's going to be 1/2" engineered hardwood, so I was planning on using the regular Ditra.
Are there other options worth considering?
If I have time to plan, maybe I will finally get to make a little mosaic in the floor- this all snuck up on us.
Here is a link that might be useful: Schluter Floor profiles
Ok, yeah, I was thinking of something else. I did read somewhere someone used additive with Ditraset but I will just get another bag. (I love Ditraset- it spreads like butter for me)
Preferred modified thinset? I used Versabond in the past. It was ok.
I think I will end up using urethane caulk for the transition joint.
5 hours of reading and I think I have it put together again. Been 2 years since I picked up a trowel. I have missed it!
