Vintage Patio Set - Yea or Nay?
So I found this patio set at a resale shop today and I'm super tempted. Our house doesn't have a patio yet. We have a sunroom that is already furnished and have plans to build the patio next spring. I found this 7 piece set today for $350 - I'd probably offer $250 and see what happens. It's a 7 piece set - couch, 4 chairs and 2 small tables. I LOVE it but feel a little silly buying it with no patio yet. But I also think it's a good price and feel like I might kick myself next summer when I can't find something like this. What do you think?
Do you like the yellow? Is there any rust on it? Are the cushions in great shape. Being the enabler I am, if the preceding is yes, no, and yes....go for it! The couch would be more than $350, or $250 if you are successful. I paid $2000 for a table and 4 chairs 8 years ago...although it was aluminum. Is this vintage steel? It looks to be in great shape. The cushions would be custom. Be certain they are in good shape. Do you have room to store it until your patio is done? I know, too many questions. I do like it. You could always spray paint it with Rustoleum if there is any rust. The chairs look like they are not rocking, but motion chairs, which are so nice. My vote...Yes!
I bought a lot of furniture for my mcm house before I even started looking for the house. I stacked it all in the living room of my mcm condo. The furniture could have been used for the condo, but I knew it was destined for a new house and so I stacked it and stuffed it in the living room. I was ready for the privacy of a home.
I couldnt believe how well everything worked in the new house when I finally found one. Even during the gutting and remodeling, I was buying things for the house. The couple items that didnt work, or that I upgraded after moving in, I sold on cl. So, I think you should go for it. They are really cute and the price is worth taking a chance for. You can always resell them on cl if you decide not to use them.
Yes they are the motion chairs. The cushions are mint. One of the tables has some rust around the glass top but other than that they are good. They are vintage steel. Oh I think I'm going shopping tomorrow!! It's only too bad that my quarterly giant Costco trip and back to school shopping also happened this weekend.
Outdoor furniture is going on clearance right now around here, and I still couldn't find anything close to this deal. If you're in a climate where you'll use outdoor patio furniture only a few months a year, this is a good find. If you're in a climate that allows for longer uses of outdoor furniture, then perhaps wait until you can explore more options.
While I love the looks of this set, in my experience this type of sofa is just not very comfortable. It's rather stiff sitting up and almost impossible to stretch out on. We gauge the comfort of sofas both for both sitting and napping though.
Left its current color it would look great on a vintage-y sun porch or patio, but when it comes to outdoor furniture, comfort is at least as important as looks.
Forgot to add, if the cushions are not Sunbrella or similar and the proposed patio is uncovered, you will have a part time job bringing cushions in and taking them back out, and one day you will not be home when they are soaked by a rogue thunderstorm....,ask me how I know this ;-(

The sent is adorable!! I would love not having the big box look that is everywhere!! Years ago we were doing the basement. DH's job was drywall etc. mine was curtains/lamps etc. People were SHOCKED when they came over and found it fully decorated the day DH put the hammer away. If you have a place to store it GET IT!! Another plus if you live like I do with promises and slow delivery--having the set will ensure the patio appears!!!
I love it! It is so charming and beats HD outdoor stuff by a mile. You definitely wont find the character and charm in new.
I have a vintage table and chair set at our other home that we are currently leasing to tenants and if we ever cover our deck here I am bringing it to this home.
That is a fabulous set! We've never stretched out on the patio sofa, really, for a long nap,,that's what a hammock is for :) The cushions will wear well, they are probably waterproof.
School lasts all year, you can shop any weekend. This set won't wait!
I think you need to discount it further - replacing a cushion like that would cost at least $50 - plus you'll have an issue finding a yellow solid cushion to match - you'll probably never find the print fabric.
I like the sunny yellow and if you have a roof overhead it will keep the cushions dryer.
That's my style, too; however the one thing that I always think about before I buy outdoor pieces is - will it be able to stand the elements all summer and where to store it in the winter. I have a metal glider in the garden that I have to keep out year round because it's so bulky and heavy. I love it so hang on to it. I cover it with a tarp over winter and all these years it's still in fair condition for its age.
I tried painting it once, sanding,the whole bit. The paint came off within a couple months and basically I made it worse.
Schoolhouse, if you can get it to a body shop or car painting place, they can paint it for you and it will last!
I love that set, Louis. I would try to get the price reduced a little more since one cushion is missing, but if you can't, it is still a terrific price. Go for it. Just think how pretty it will be on your patio. With the other cushions, you will have a model for making a replacement. Are those 'bouncy' chairs? If so, they are the best. I love to sit in them!
cyn, there is a auto detailing shop down across the field behind me. One time I took a very small round metal bistro table to them for an estimate on painting and they wanted so much I told them I'd do it myself. Ha, same thing happened, I sanded and painted and the paint came off. So I know what you mean, they would do a super job on my glider but afraid of the cost. The glider sure would get a new lease on life before it's too late.
Thanks for the encouragement! I ended up getting the set plus a floor lamp for $300. The set was originally $350 and the lamp was $65 do I felt good about it. My good friend is an upholsterer and she said she can make me a cushion for $30. I think I'll do two solid cushions so that there are 2 floral ones and 2 solid. Hopefully it will look more intentional instead of just having one solid and 3 floral. Here's a better pic of the set and of the lamp.
Oh you're going to be so happy!
A few years ago I scored four very ornate, yet chippy wrought iron patio chairs. One needs the legs rewelded, and I need cushions for them. I paid the whopping sum of $25 for all four! Your set reminds me that I really need to get those out of the shed, over haul them and add them to the new landscaping we're doing out front. Good project for this winter so I can have them ready for spring. You did great on your new purchase! Congratulations.
Oh, I am so happy you got it! Really love the lamp, too. If a new cushion is only $30.00 You could save one for future replacement. If you can find a matching yellow fabric, you could simply turn one cushion around. What a charming patio you will have!
The set is fabulous, and that lamp is just wonderful. And you know, lots of the fabric places are having the outdoor fabrics on clearance right now. It's the perfect time to snatch up fabric for the missing cushion, plus maybe some for toss pillows.
I love the whole set, and I think that was a great buy. In my area, that would have been gone the first day, at least on Craigslist.

Considering this scenario: If I created an activity and it moves to the background and this activity contains a
Fragment which is set to
setRetainInstance(true) then the Android OS might at some point still decide to shut down the activity's hosting process in order to free memory.
Then the
Activity's state is saved via
onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) where - as far as I understood - the related
Bundle is written and to the file system to survive the process shut down. (thus the requirement of objects in the bundle being
Serializable). Later, the applications state can be retrieved in a new process via
In contrast, my
Fragment is allowed to contain variables which are not necessarily
Serializable. Therefore, I figured, the
Fragment cannot be stored on disk like the
Bundle is. So what happens to my fragment when the process gets killed?
I was wondering about this reading the developer's guide (http://developer.android.com/guide/components/processes-and-threads.html):
A process holding an activity that's not currently visible to the user (the activity's onStop() method has been called). These processes have no direct impact on the user experience, and the system can kill them at any time to reclaim memory for a foreground, visible, or service process. Usually there are many background processes running, so they are kept in an LRU (least recently used) list to ensure that the process with the activity that was most recently seen by the user is the last to be killed. If an activity implements its lifecycle methods correctly, and saves its current state, killing its process will not have a visible effect on the user experience, because when the user navigates back to the activity, the activity restores all of its visible state.
I understood the above killing such that the VM instance is shut down and the state of the process is written to the file system (here comes the
Bundle into play). Later the bundles are read for resuming the process. Since the retaining of fragments is not concerned with life cycle methods and since I would not know how to retain e.g. a pointer to a network connection (you should of course never have such a pointer in a fragment anyhow), I was wondering if the fragments are still restored if the process is shut down in the meantime. I concluded that they surely needed to be recreated and that the life cycle methods are therefore to be preferred over
setRetainInstance(true) whenever possible.
Does this assumption make any sense?

A complete understanding of the use of these pledgets is unnecessary to an understanding of the present invention. Their use and their advantages and disadvantages are well established in the medical field. However, a brief review of their utilization is important in understanding the reasons for the present invention and how the present invention provides pledgets which are more desirable than various different known pledgets.
One utilization of pledgets is in various different brain and spinal cord operations. They are utilized in such operations to protect neural tissue as operations are continued, and so as to absorb fluids which might interfere with the operating procedures and treatments. As such operations are being finished the pledgets used are, of course, removed from the body where they are employed. Such removal of known pledgets has been acknowledged to cause problems and complications detrimentally affecting treatment.
This is best further explained by referring to known pledgets. Most generally, these structures have been pieces of pure, absorbent cotton felt. In many pledgets the fibers within a material of this type are chemically bonded to one another so as to give the felt a relatively high wet strength. In such structures the surface of the felt applied to living tissue contains various absorbent fibers. As a pledget is left in place such fibers will tend to be permeated by the fluid present and will tend to adhere to a degree to the body tissue contacted by the pledget. As a consequence of this when a pledget is removed there is a significant degree of danger of the tissue adhering to the pledget. Such adherence can be extremely detrimental. As an example of this, a pledget utilized in brain surgery may be utilized against the arachnoid in the brain. After such a known pledget has been left in place during an operation, it tends to adhere to a sufficient extent so that there is a danger of it producing a subarachnoid hemorrhage as it is lifted off the brain surface. In general, the longer a pledget is left in the place the more pronounced the adherence between it and the living tissue and the greater thepotential of damage when the pledget is removed.
A recognition of the danger of such damage has lead to various proposed solutions to minimize such damage. As an example of one such proposed solution it has been common for surgeons such as neurosurgeons to attempt to facilitate the release of pledgets from tissue contacted by the pledgets by liberally applying a physiological saline solution to the regions where the pledgets are utilized. This type of procedure is considered to have obvious disadvantages growing out of the fact that an extra step the irrigation is necessary with it and growing out of the obvious disadvantages of the use of significant amounts of saline solution.
Another proposed solution to the problem of pledget adherence has involved the utilization of a release strip or layer on one side of a conventional pledget. It is considered that in all cases where this procedure has been attempted, the release strip has been a sheet of rubber, serving essentially as a dam tending to hold back the pledget so that it both will not stick to body tissue and also so as to isolate the pledget so that it'cannot do the effective job of absorbing fluid. Procedures of this type are considered to be disadvantageous because of prob lem of pledgets not fitting the sheets of release material used and/or tending to move to one side or another off of such sheets. Whenever this occurs there is of course danger of adherence.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an intention of the present invention to provide pledgets which eliminate this danger of adherence and yet which still retain the desired ability to absorb fluids present. From this it will be seen that in effect a broad objective of the present invention is to provide new and improved pledgets. To avoid confusion it is to be understood that such pledgets are sometimes referred to by other names than-the specific term pledgets." At
times they are referred to as a type of surgical sponge" and occasionally they are designated as neuro sponges or patty.
Another broad objective of the present invention is to provide new and improved procedures for producing pledgets. In connection with this it is an objective of sepresent invention to provide a procdure as indicated which may be easily and conveniently carried out at a comparatively nominal cost utilizing inexpensive equipmenLA related objective of the invention is to provide pledgets as produced by this procedure which not only are effective, but which are also comparatively nominal in cost. 21
In accordance with this invention these and various other objectives of the present invention are achieved by the production of pledgets comprising a piece of absorbent, fiberous material having a surface covered by a cover of a flexible, resilient polymer material extending around, over and into the interstices of the fibers at this surface of the piece of material through the steps of contacting a surface of a piece of such material with a latex of a polymer material for a sufficient period so that the contact results in the liquid vehicle being absorbed into the fiberous material at the surface so as to form this covering and then removing the liquid vehicle from both the material and the covering.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING A summary of this type is inherently incapable of indicating many important features and aspects of an invention. Items of this type will be apparent from a detailed consideration of the remainder of this specification, the appended claims and the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 indicates in a diagrammatic manner an initial step in creating a pledget in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 indicates in a diagrammatic manner a second step in creating such a pledget; and
FIG. 3 indicates in a diagrammatic manner a final step in creating this product.
For the purpose of clarifying the nature of the invention it is to be specifically noted that the accompanying drawing does not indicate the invention per se since the invention involves intangible concepts as are set forth and defined in the appended claims. The accompanying drawing is primarily intended for explanatory purposes in indicating the natureof a presently preferred pledget in accordance with the invention and a manner of making such a pledget. Y
DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with this invention a pledget is formed utilizing a latex of a flexible, resilient polymer material. Where a pledget is intended to be utilized within a living body or in contact with living tissue, to avoid toxic effects it is considered necessary to utilize a polymer material which is inert or substantially inert with respect to the body and living tissue. To avoid the danger of the pledget causing damage the particular polymer material utilized should be flexible so as to be capable of conforming to particular tissue against which a pledget is to be utilized. The polymer materials should also be somewhat resilient or at least to a degree rubber-like in character so as to minimize the chances of the polymer material becoming damaged during the handling and use'of the pledget. I
A latex of any such polymer material is utilized in order to facilitate the application to a piece of fiberous, absorbent material as hereinafter indicated of the polymer material so that ultimately the polymer material will form a cover extending over and around fibers in the piece'and will extend into the interstices of such fibersqTo avoid question the term latex is used here to designate a collodial dispersion or a nearly collodial dispersion of a polymer material as indicated in a liquid vehicle-Normally such a vehicle is water, but on occasion other liquid carriers can be utilized for comparatively or fine particles of polymer material.
For best results in avoiding stratification or settling the latex it is considered that the particles within such a latex should be of no greater size than about microris in diameter. If desired, a latex to be used with this invention can include secondary agents such as known dispersing agents, emulsifying agents, stablizers, thickeners and wetting agents in amounts as are conventional in the latex industry. Such agents and the amounts of them which are commonly used are well established in the latex industry.
Further information relative to latices is foundin a number of different texts. In this connection reference is made to the text, Rubber Technology by Morton, published by the Reinhold Publishing Corp., N.Y., 1959, pages 441 to 454, inclusive. The disclosures of these pages of this text are incorporated herein by reference for the purpose of supplementing this disclosure.
One of the most common polymer materials easily obtained in the form of a latex and possessing the physical properties indicated in the preceding is natural rubber. As supplied for use a latex of this material contains particles referred to as gel and sol rubber particles varying in size from between about 0.1 to about 2microns. A normal rubber latex as sold for use will contain' from about 60 to about 70 percent by weight solids in a water vehicle, and will contain minor amounts of ammonia serving as a stablizer. A natural rubber latex of this type is preferably employed with the invention because of its availability, its cost and the physical properties of the rubber material itself.
Within the broad scope of the present invention it is possible to utilize latices 'of other materials such as butadiene-styrene latices, nitrile latices, polychloroprene latices and the like. The applicability of any such polymer material for use in a pledget of this invention will, of course, depend upon the inertness of the specific polymer material under the intended use of the specific pledget. Thus, for example, pledgets using a polymer material of a specific character or type may not be suitable for one use, and yet may be suitable for another ultimate application. So far as is now known, pledgets made utilizing natural rubber may be satisfactorily employed in any pledget application.
In general, a latex of any material as indicated should contain as high'a solids concentration as reasonably practical to obtain in order to facilitate the application of the polymer material to a piece of absorbent fiberous material in an amount necessary to accomplish a desired physical structure in an ultimate pledget of this invention. If the solids concentration is too high, the application of the latex will tend to be relatively difficult while if the solids concentration is too low the latex used may not completely cover fiber surfaces as hereinafter indicated.
Broadly it is considered that this objective can be achieved using a latex containing from about 20 to 80 percent by weight solids, but that the application of desired amounts of the polymer material is facilitated using a latex of from about 50 to about percent by weight of the polymer material. It is to be realized that these percentage ranges of latex concentrations are rough approximations inasmuch as because of inherent physical properties it is impossible to use exactly the same latex concentrations with all polymer materials. It is considered that the amounts given are rough approximations which will be sufficient to enable others to practice ,the invention with a minimum of difficulty.
.In the presently preferred manner of practicing the invention. a latex as indicated in the preceding discussion is sprayed so as to form a layer 10 of this latex on a surface 12 of a sheet 14 of an imporous material such as glass in much the way in which a coat of paint is sprayed upon a surface to receive such a coating. The thickness of the layer created in this manner is important to the physical properties of the ultimate pledget created, but is not critical in the sense that a certain temperature or a certain pH maybe critical in connection with various chemical reactions.
The layer formed should be a continuous layer with no obvious spaces containing only carrier between the particles so as to make sure that there will be solid polymer material opposite a piece of absorbent fiberous material 16 used in the second step in practicing the invention. It is considered that this layer 10 should, however, be sufficiently thin so that it will not run off of the sheet 14 when this sheet 14 is tilted at an angle to the horizontal. In other words, the layer 10 should be sufficiently thin so that it willnot run like paint will run when applied in too great a quantity for all of it to adhere toa surface.
If more than this amount of latex material is utilized it is considered that in general the surface of a pledget produced will tend to unnecessarily imporous. While for some applications this may not be critical, for others it is considered to be relatively important. Because of the variations in polymer materials and latices of such materials these limitations are not to be considered absolute in a physical sense. They are indicated herein primarily to facilitate a clear understanding as to how to practice the present invention. In general, the thickness referred to corresponds to thicknesses corresponding to these of from about one sheet to about four sheets of common bond paper.
Once a layer such as the layer has been created the next step is to apply a piece of material such as the piece 16 to this layer. This piece 16 may conveniently be formed of any known fiberous material such as is commonly utilized in forming pledgets. Because of absorbency and physical strength it is, however, considered preferable that this piece 16 be of a cotton felt of a high wet strength character having individual fibers within the felt bonded together by a known resinous material in accordance with established techniques.
As the piece 16 is applied, the surface 18 of this piece is preferably layed upon the layer 10 so as to not to physically disrupt or mop this layer in order to disturb its uniform character. As this occurs the liquid vehicle in the latex will tend to be absorbed into the fibers exposed at this surface 18 so as to form a covering extending over and around these fibers into the interstices of them. This is essentially a physical process and the time that it will require will depend upon a number of factors such as'the nature of the liquid vehicle, the amount of the vehicle present in the latex used, the absorption characteristics of the fibers for this vehicle and the like. When as preferred a natural rubber latex is used, in general satisfactory results can be achieved in a period of from about 10 minutes to about 1 hour, and this period can be shortened to within the lower end of this range by coupling the period allowed for this absorption with the removal of the, liquid vehicle used.
Thus, for example, a piece 16 located against a layer 10 of a commercial latex as described containing about 62 percent by weight natural rubber solids may, immediately after the application of the piece 16 be inserted into a drying oven such as an oven at 200 F. for a period of from about to minutes or until it is determined that a change is taking place within the polymer material. This will remove the liquid vehicle from within the piece 16 and a covering 20 of the character previously indicated is created from within the material of the layer 10 by the absorption of this vehicle. In most cases this vehicle may also be removed by simple air drying or the like techniques which will result in vehicle evaporation.
After removal of the vehicle in the latex a final ultimate pledget 22 in accordance with this invention may be obtained by the simple steps as indicated in FIG. 3 of the drawing of pulling up the edge of the piece 16 and blowing the pledget 22 off of this sheet through the use of a compressed air gun. The pledget 22 obtained in this manner can be cut to any desired size or shape using a conventional cutting instrument so as to be ready to use.
In the event a pledget such as the pledget 22 is created using a polymer system such as an elastomer system, which because of its physical characteristics and- /or its ultimate utilization should be physically stronger than is normally considered necessary, the latex used in forming this pledget may contain one or more vulcanizing agents, cure activators and/or accelerators in accordance with conventional practice. When such materials are used it is considered preferable that a pledget produced as described be treated under conventional vulcanizing conditions so as to develop the final physical properties desired in a polymer composition used. At times this can be accomplished concurrently with the removal of the liquid vehicle.
In a pledget of the invention such as the pledget 22 the necessary physical properties desired are essentially related to a physical blocking off of the exposed surfaces of the fibers at the surface 18 of the piece 16 so that they cannot contact tissue or tissue-like materials so as to tend to adhere to the same. When a pledget 22 is created as described the polymer material forms a covering which extends over and around the fibers of the piece 16 and into the interstices of such fibers which are exposed to or adjacent to the surface 18 so as to penetrate such a surface to a sufficient extent to isolate the piece 16 from whatever is contacted by the pledget 22 as it is used.
This action is accomplished in a pledget such as the pledget 22 without forming a film which will destroy the porosity of the pledget 22 when it is created as described in the preceding discussion. Normally such porosity is important in obtaining a desired absorbent action during the use of a pledget such as the pledget 22.
If for any reason a completely imporous covering 20 is desired, such a covering may be obtained by continuously repeating the process steps indicated in the preceding discussion.
These same process steps can be carried out in various different ways which will be apparent to those in the coating art on the basis of the disclosure embodied within this specification. Thus, for example, the sheet 14 utilized is essentially employed as a means of applying the layer 10 to the piece 16. Other known substantially equivalent or related application procedures can be used instead of the precise procedure herein indicated to apply a layer as described to a surface of a piece of material such as the piece 16.

Find Pine Forge industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Pine Forge shops. Locate a Pine Forge warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
As companies grow they must either relocate and sometimes extend their existing lease, and as information technology advances, they inescapably have to deal with landlords with far more experience with commercial properties. The absence of defining the lease requirements at an early stage can lead to confusion and time delays. Employing an experienced Pine Forge broker will ensure business owners being made aware of all the areas available in a local market and remove much of the unnecessary issues.

Metal Gear Scanlon 3: Part 09
Become Premium to Watch
Hotline Miami's thrillingly brutal gameplay is stretched to the point of breaking in this aesthetically pleasing, but otherwise disappointing sequel.
Battlefield Hardline did not crash during our tests and appears to function precisely as expected at this time.
There's a word for games like The Order: 1886. Rental.
Company »
Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
A pistol is a very basic hand-held side arm, usually used in case of low ammo or tricky situations. They have appeared in many types of games.
A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
Machine guns, generally, are heavier weapons with a rapid rate of fire. To quote the Quake manual, they "eat ammo like popcorn."
Crates sometimes contain things!
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
A barrel is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. In video games, it is used in many ways to fill up a level or even be used in one. They also may explode. Use caution when around barrels.
Tinted glasses - used to shield the user direct sunlight. Sunglasses are also used as a fashion accessory or as part of a disguise.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
Glasses are framed pieces of glass or plastic that are worn in front of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose usually to correct vision or as identity statement. Often worn by nerds.
A brightly lit indication of what lies within. Most neon signs are glass tubes containing electrically charged noble gases, to produce a variety of colors.
A bag full of trash.
Two-wheeled motor vehicle
Doors are a common object in most video games, as well as the keys and objects needed to open them. From role playing to shooters, doors are an important component of many games.
Whether they're tedious and spiral or short and quick, staircases appear in many games.
Gloves with outward finger inserts.
A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
An explosive is any weapon or device designed to cause an explosion, whether it be a frag grenade, TNT, or a nuclear bomb.
A firearm capable of firing pistol ammunition automatically. Favored for shorter distances, or dealing death indoors.
"It's hard to keep your feet dry when you're kicking in a skull." Unless you've got the right gear, that is.
Whether it's worn for protection or style, helmets appear in various game genres.
Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
A baseball bat is a smooth wooden or metal club used in the game of baseball to hit the ball after the ball is thrown by the pitcher.
Protects against deadly gas and other pollutants.
A garment made for covering the hand.
A flat surface that is often used to place objects upon - most commonly, food.
A container for trash. Often an in-game breakable object, filled with useful items/magic.
A furniture that provides a place to sleep. In video games, often used to regain health, skip time and *ahem* other activities...

Redroze's Finished White and Espresso Kitchen
So...I was waiting for a couple of things to happen until I posted finished kitchen photos. I was waiting for our kitchen table and chairs (ordered and on the way) to come in. I was waiting to figure out how to accessorize my open shelves. I was waiting for our desk chair to arrive and for my husband to purchase the computer monitor. I was waiting to pick up a beautiful rose bouquet to throw in a vase and place on our island. I was waiting to figure out how to take better photos with my new digital camera (and Christmas gift from my husband). And finally, I was waiting for the perfect overcast sky in which to take these photos. And then I thought, to heck with it!!!
I spontaneously decided to just post the near-finished photos tonight. I'll post finished/finished-finished/no-really-finished photos on my website once all of the above happens, so feel free to visit it again in a couple of weeks. But for now, enjoy!
This forum has some of the most generous and spirited people I have ever encountered. I loved and still love coming to a place where people are as enamoured with design and details as much as I am, and dedicate so much time into making their house into a home. I love reading your stories and helping out whenever I can. I wanted to celebrate the success of our kitchen with all of you, and thank you as deeply as one can in the online world, because I can honestly say that our kitchen would never have turned out this way if I didn't "find" all of you on GW. So, thank you.
Click on the link to my website below for more photos and all the details.
Redroze's White and Espresso Kitchen
So difficult to decide on my favorite detail...the glass front cabinet, the gorgeous floor, the dark island and desk, the perfect hardware, or the amazingly simple, but striking and unusual backsplash. It's all wonderful, close up and from the more distant view! Enjoy, enjoy!
Well, I already knew I was in love with your kitchen before you posted these photos. What a marvelous space in its entirety! But, now that I have read your blog, I'm not just in love with your kitchen . . . I'm in love with redroze! What fantastic journaling! That has to be one of the most clear, comprehensive, and totally helpful of all kitchen reno chronicles and advice I have ever seen. There is so much to learn and appreciate from your remodel process. Thank you!
Back to the kitchen itself for a minute, I'm like rhome in not being sure what I like most. But I must tell you that I am struck by the way you framed your window with the crown and the cabinetry! Love both the open shelving to the left of the window and the tall glass front cabinet to the right! Love the dramatic window treatments on one side and the pillars on the other! Love the granite! Love the pendants! Love the color play! Oh, heck, love it all! Many, many congratulations, redroze! All the kudos you are going to receive on this reno are so very much deserved!
You have turned your house into a home! Your passion for design, function, and detail are evident.
What a lovely new space - I think your previous cabs look just like my old ones sans the handles - were they metal?
The hood is fine, I personally am not a fan of a hood, of all things to be a huge focal point - I think some punches of color, perhaps hanging some lovely dishes above will suit the area fine.
I totally agree w/you about the subs - sorry you had that experience w/the flooring - but I'm sure you are pleased that you allowed that timeline buster take place.
Can't wait to see guest & master bzths - love your inspiration photos!
What are you enjoying most about the new space?
Enjoy - job well done
It's great to finally see the "big picture"! Your teasers have been wonderfully tantalizing, but seeing the whole thing is much more satisfying. You must be so pleased with your beautiful new space. It's so calming, and your attention to detail really paid off. Congratulations!!
It is really gorgeous --- classic and timeless, and I feel those words don't quite do it justice! I am just starting a kitchen design for a new home. I have been saving magazine clippings and have a giant binder. I will circle every element in your kitchen! I was wondering if you would mind sharing the pendant light manufacturer. Fabulous kitchen --- Congratulations!
Fabulous! I was waiting for the photos, after having seen peaks of it when you posted re a sectional. Everything looks elegant, bright but also cozy, and just plain awesome.
Did you say that you were going to backsplash over on the espresso side of the units?
I love every last thing about your kitchen! Highlights for me include the gorgeous pendants, drapery finials, deep rich color on your floors and island, and the clever simple cabinetry style valance for your window. I really enjoyed your website and remembered the flooring stain issue when it came up. Your website is one of the best kitchen renovation documentations I've seen - and I've spent a ridiculous amt of time perusing kitchen renos. I'm so glad you posted today without waiting. Raising a glass and toasting your lovely kitchen.(It's 9am so it's tea, but I'll raise a real glass later.)
Hi Red!!!
Well, it was certainly worth the wait! How stunning is your kitchen? I've enjoyed every thread and pic, from the beginning all the way through to completion.
From the first pics of your dreamy granite slabs, to your call-out to the forum for help in locating your absolutely perfect backsplash tiles, to the hanging of your crowning jewels (your pendant lights), to today's unveiling (with the link to your awesome website!) I've wanted to see more, more, more--I've loved it all!
You've done an outstanding job, and I hope you will enjoy your breathtaking kitchen for many years to come!
Kudos to you!
AAAAHHHHHHH! I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN!!!!!! need I say more??? my goodness, it is just gorgeous!! The draperies and fun items on the open shelving are really making it all come together. I really can't wait to see your gorgeous table and chairs (I'm still on the hunt for mine - eeek!). I love the up-close and personal shots of the the granite - it is just stunning, stunning, stunning! I'm celebrating for you :o)
It has been a long journey, but well worth it, you have one of my favorite kitchens on GW (and you are one of my favorite people :) The kitchen turned out beautifully. You have not only thought through every detail so carefully, you have shared that information every step of the way with us and now so completely in your finished kitchen posting. Thank you for all I have learned from you and for the gracious way you share with us and give your opinion. Your kitchen is gorgeous!
Wow! Another beautiful kitchen. Details were so informative. What you learned etc. very helpful. Details I see are what makes a kitchen not so much cabinets. ie hardware, faucets, sinks. If it were not for this website I would not have given that nearly the consideration I am now. Your pictures speak to the details! Cabinets are beautiful but details! Good job.
sooooooo glad i didn't miss this as i have been a little sporatic lately. one word, ELEGANT. but the second word that comes to my mind is inviting. i totally wish i could hang out in that kitchen/family room area. you are going to love it for years to come. i too can't pick just one thing that i love the most. it just all flows together so nicely. unbelievable job and you have also been so helpful to others along the way!!!!!!
Soooo beautiful. I just love the wall of draperies and the open shelves. Your hardware is absolutely perfect; always loved it in your space. And that layout must be the best I've ever seen. I know what you mean by "finished-finished", but is it ever really? :) If everything was truly finished, what would we spend our time doing?
YAY!! I've been following your progress from the begining. One of the most gorgeous, elegant kitchens I've seen.
You have been a great help to me with my reno, thanks for all of your input.
I'll be looking forward to another post with the new table and chairs!!
I'm so flattered everyone, thanks!!! =)
I love that everyone is responding well to the website. I am super super stoked about that, actually. I hope the new folks can take some ideas and build it into their own plans. I learned so much from others here.
Ebse - The cooktop is electric and from Kitchenaid. We may eventually replace it with an induction, but have really loved the electric one so far. SO easy to clean with the touch controls. Are you asking about the drawer below the cooktop? It's actually a false panel that we put a pull on just to make it look like a drawer.
Jejvtr - What I am enjoying most, hands down, is being able to eat cereal at the island!! Our old island didn't have an overhang. It is such a luxury to be able to hang out at the island, it is really my favourite spot.
Chloe s mom - We didn't have any plans to backsplash over the espresso side. Once we wall mount the monitor, we'll see if it needs a little something extra. I wouldn't want to put anything there that would detract from the monitor. One idea is to put a bulletin board covered with fabric and string over it (I don't think I'm describing it well), that we can stick notes on.
Another beautiful white kitchen - well done! Especially love your backsplash, bar stools. Question: how do you like your KitchenAid FD fridge and dishwasher? Which models did you get? We are thinking of KA for these two products and would appreciate your input. Thanks!
I've been waiting with anticipation to see your "reveal". I have followed your progress & we've communicated often throughout as we've been involved in the process of kitchen planning, construction, demolition and rebuilding. I've mentioned that yours has been much of an "inspiration kitchen" to me. Mine will now, as it turns out(and as you advocate in your guidance), be a fair bit different, but I have long been guided by the fresh and yet traditional aesthetic of your design.
I hope you have many years of delight from the kitchen!!
P.S.- Now I need another detail- the Urban something barstools- what is the name of this product? I was looking on the site but was not sure if I was looking at the same one. I love them!
RR, I have so enjoyed following the progress of your beautiful and well thought out kitchen (even a bit more than most because I know youÂre a Torontonian too and who knows, we may have passed each other on the street some timeÂ). I especially love your web site! I'm just in the process of gathering all my pix and finishing chronicling our progress for a GW posting, and you have set a new standard of excellence!
Enjoy your beautiful kitchen and your cereal :-)
I am so happy reading all of your posts!! It's so interesting that the things you think are mistakes at the time (the valance is one of them) are viewed by a good thing by others. It just goes to show that sometimes you get too engrossed in the specifics that you need to look big picture.
I'm also so pleased about the notes about it being inviting and welcoming. That is SO representative of how we feel in our kitchen, and when we bring family and friends over. I had really hoped it was coming across in the photos as I sometimes worried the photos were too stark...but love that it's coming across to all of you!!
Also happy for those of you taking clippings. Clip away!
Laxsupermom - I am so flattered by your comment about the website. Thank you.
Marthavila - Thanks so much for your note!
Katieob - You're getting the Aubreys too? YOu're gonna love them. They're substantial but oh so comfortable too.
Catmom - Hello old friend!! You reminded me of all the posts where I fretted and came to GW for help. You were one of many who helped me out, to which I am so grateful for.
Plucky - You're one of my favourites as well!!
Raehelen - I'm awfully neat, so I'd be lying if I said I often have tons of things on the counter. We have more storage than we need so everything is usually tucked away. DH's hiding ideas helped a ton!!
Just noticed a few questions that I missed.
Jejvtr - My previous cabinets were laminate, and we painted them grey to go with the greyish tile floors. The handles were a dark silvery/black metal. I definitely want to add some punches of colour here and there...can't wait to inject some touches of colour actually, as I've loved the hits on the open shelving.
Mythreesonsnc - The pendant light manufacturer is Turn of the Century Lighting, in Toronto Canada. Their website is here. The pendants were the splurge, meaning that we spent more on them then we would normally would have. They were a "must have" in the space!!
Kulagal - I'm sorry to say that I don't know what the model is for the KD fridge, but the dishwasher model link is here,. They are both performing wonderfully.
Bdaykitchen - Hello, your kitchen's not like mine but it's going to be outstanding!! The barstools are the Dave ones...they look distorted on the Urban Barn website, like too wide or something.
Elizpiz - Can't wait to see your finished kitchen photos!! Please don't feel pressured to have to document the details like I did -- I went this route, but have read many other finished kitchen posts that were more minimal but still very engaging. I too, have wondered whether I've passed you on the street!!
Igloo - Dear Igloo, as much as I adore your posts I'm going to have keep the pendants. ;-)
Now that's a sweet looking kitchen. Love the granite.
One question regarding your under cabinet outlets shown on your website. Are those to code (in the Toronto area)? If you got a permit and they were approved, then thats awesome but I though you couldn't have regular romex exposed like that. Just curious since I'm coming up with ideas for details such as that.
Great job,
Hi redroze,
Your kitchen looks wonderful!! I haven't been on gardenweb long enough to have seen your posts in the planning stages, but it's very evident that a LOT of time went into it.
My kitchen is still in progress, and I'm glad I found gardenweb before entirely finishing. This is very odd, but I can now picture what I hope my kitchen will look like since seeing yours! To explain that, my layout will be very similar with the range in the same location and an island in the same location. Our cabinets will be white with the island stained dark, as well as very dark floors. The thing I haven't figured out is the backsplash.
I hope mine looks even half as good as yours! Congrats on being finished!!
Advertguy - We live in the GTA and DH says the undercabinet outlets are to code. Next time we see our GC though, I will ask him just to be sure.
Aubie - Happy to provide the visual for you! I was always excited to find magazines or online photos that were similar, just I got a better sense of what it would look like.
Redroze - Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous kitchen. I have been reading everything here for months and have enjoyed snippets of your kitchen.
I really appreciate what you wrote on your website about appreciating your own kitchen. I have a small kitchen and I compare it constantly to all these gorgeous kitchens (yours) with envy. Thanks for sharing - enjoy! Kris
Hi redroze - sorry, meant to say this in my previous post and forgot. I love that you included a section in your website for what you felt you were really happy with vs. what you'd do differently. I was especially glad to see your comment about covering the floors really well during the remainder of construction. We were considering having the floors completely finished prior to installing cabinets, painting, etc. but then I thought better of it! We are planning to try just having the floors installed and the the staining / refinishing existing floors AFTER everything else. I've seen what happens with the contractors in my house and I doubt the floors would be intact even if they were entirely covered!
Also, your comment about using subs recommended by your GC - one would think that would make perfect sense and would work out much better. You guys were very lucky to have a great GC! Unfortunately, in our case, our GC didn't have a very good list of subs, so some of them were absolutely horrible. We almost wished that we'd just told them to leave and gotten our own by the time they were done, but that would have slowed things down even more. One of his subs took forever to finish and kept just disappearing, only to act as if he was doing us a favor when he finally returned!! He also kept trying to raise his original price quoted every time he thought the job was actually more work than he expected. Never again will I put up with that! There are so many people out of work right now and I'm sure one of them would be glad to step in!
Krissd - I'm glad that note meant something to you.
Willowdecor - Thanks SO much for your enthusiasm!! I'm giddy from your note because I just adore your kitchen and pantry!!!!
Cotehele - That's so sweet.
Thanks Sandy/Busybme!
Aubie - Just a note that most people with hardwood (including me) install their floors first, then do the stain and one or two coats of poly (because you do NOT want to get floor stain on your cabinets!!), then the final coat of poly after everything is installed. Your note seemed to suggest that you're installing the floors after the cabinets are in, so I would highly advise against that!! I'm sorry that your GC experience didn't go well with the sub hires. I agree that our situation with our friend/GC was unique and it saddens me that not everyone can have a positive experience as us.
Hi redroze,
Just to clarify, we were planning to have the new floors installed before cabinets, but stain and poly put on after (the floor company we are using puts on 4 coats of poly). So would it be highly likely that they would get the floor stain on the cabinets?? It would be fine if just the toekick area (we're planning on having stainless steel for all the toekicks, so it could go on after the floors were stained (and cover anything that got on them!). There seems to be no really good time for doing the floors!! That's the part I'm most worried about.
Hi Aubie,
You're right, I stressed about the floors too as there's no "right" time. We got a looong scratch on our floors when they moved the fridge in, and all we got was a last coat of poly after that. We also got a few hard dings when they moved out the old fridge from the laundry room. (Argh, what is it with fridges??) So it looks like we'll have to do one last screening then a final coat of poly.
I know they can keep the toekicks out...I'd prefer for them to do the stain before the cabs go in, but you may want to post on the flooring forum to get others' advice and experience.
Good luck.
Thanks, redroze. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one obsessing over things like this :) I know what you mean about the fridges - it seems that something is ruined every time they have to be moved. I actually did post on the flooring and remodeling forums, so will see if I get any responses. Enjoy your kitchen! I'm so jealous that you're done :)
Sigh, so lovely! I'm a sucker for a classic white kitchen, and yours is so tastefully executed. You must feel so happy every time you walk in!
I love your choice in counter stools. I really like how they fade into your island and don't detract from its nice lines. They look comfy too.
Congratulations on your gorgeous new space!
Just wanted to say I adore your kitchen, and have enjoyed reading your posts over the past few months. Especially the "DH wants this and I want that". We can all relate to that. Glad to see that you've been able to agree to such beautiful choices in this very sophisticated kitchen.
We just got a phone call that our table stain sample is ready, so the table should be done soon too!! The photo on the Woodcraft website doesn't do it justice.
Thanks for the wonderful comments. One person that i'm hoping will see this post is Rmkitchen. Has anyone seen here around?
Aubie - It's been 10 months since the demo so this reveal has been a long time coming!!
Kate - Thanks for the note!! Somehow meals taste better in our new kitchen, and there's much more prep space. I picture myself making jams in the summertime...always wanted to have a kitchen where you can make jams and pickles and stuff.
Erika - The stools are SO comfy. Many a time, we have sat at the counters with our laptops and just hung out. Our friend said it's like having an Internet cafe, LOL. I can even cross my legs...that's a requirement for me for dining chairs, that I can cross my legs!!
Lynn - The wall colour is Benjamin Moore Natural Cream. I originally thought we should do something more grey, but now that I see the big picture I realized that the pale warmth of the Natural Cream adds an overall coziness to the kitchen and family room that a grey paint just could not achieve.
Debsan - Yes, our kitchen is really a melding of decisions from me and DH. We both instantly loved the granite which became a jumping off point for the colour scheme. Then there were things that I thought would be perfect (ex. pendants) and that he was more comfortable "test driving" first, which made him nervous as they were not returnable. He prefers to test things out in our space, whereas I can look at photos and imagine what it would look like. In the end, it works out!!
I'll do my part to bump this up for rm to see!
We're having our upstairs re-painted in a couple of weeks (kitchen/LR/DR/hallway...). Might end up using BM White 01 again (but in the Aura paint, matte finish, which is why we are re-painting so soon--I fell in love with that paint while renovating a bathroom). One of the other whites I am considering is "your" Chantilly Lace. After reading your description of it, it sounded like a white I might like as well (for my walls). Will be painting sample whites on our walls over the next few days, and make a decision soon.
I might not have included Chantilly Lace as a possibility had it not been for you. No matter which white we choose, I'll be happy that we'll have included a "redroze-endorsed" color in our decision-making process!
Thanks for providing such descriptive details!!! :-)
Redroze, I've enjoyed the story of your developing kitchen since I started reading GW. I think one of the first posts I read was about your floors, where you didn't like the stain, and had them completely redone. I have to admit at the time that I thought you were crazy. But over the last several months I've come to realize that you understand that beauty is in the details, and that good enough is not always good enough. Now look at the gorgeous result of all the details you stressed over in your project. You've also been so generous to share all that you've learned along the way. You have an eye for design so I always enjoy reading your opinions. Congratulations on your beautiful space.
Hi Redroze -
Even though you're not "finished finished" may I archive your kitchen in the Finished Kitchens Blog? We can always update your photos/details later if any changes are needed.
If you're ok with this please submit the FKB Category Checklist so I can easily categorize your kitchen.
Thanks and congrats!
Here is a link that might be useful: FKB Category Checklist
Hey Starpooh, just wanted to say thanks for filling in all my kitchen details on the Finished Kitchens blog. I wanted to post "finished-finished" photos once our kitchen chairs were unwrapped. But alas, we got busy with our two bathroom renos and we haven't had time yet. I'll add new photos to my blog soon!

Big sales coming in August
In some ways this is a very good month for all Florida Buds. Many places begin BIG sales because they want the stuff out of the way for the holiday seasons.
I especially look for those big ticket items that I have been drooling after for a while.
In that vein, the wonderful Kirby's in Brandon is having a 25% off sale on fruit trees, crepes, pottery and roses (on fortuniana only) are two for forty. Maybe I'll run into you there. I am looking for two colorful pots.
This is true. Flamingo Road Nursery in Davie (near Ft. Lauderdale) has 40% off a single item but I think you need the coupon that came in the mail in one of those mailings we all get for many local businesses. Maybe not. Use your negotiation skills.

Dead hen
When I came home this evening, I discovered a dead hen carcass in my barn. Pretty much emptied.
Do you think the other hens could have done this, or was it likely something else that got into the barn?
I have photos on my blog, which I will link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cannibalized chicken?
An honest opinion of this situation will be impossible to give without being able to see the whole thing firsthand, but I can say it is unusal but not unheard of for chickens to kill a flock mate. More than likely the other chickens probably ate on her, but she either died or was killed by something else. Keeping a notebook with written observations, collected through varios times aday will help you to see if there is something amiss. Several times aday take a walk around your pen, get close to the ground look for tracks, look for pinch points around the barn , holes under fences, look for hair, (take pics and post them and I can tell you what animals it came from, also scat) Watch your flock, are they getting enough animal protein, you may be vegetarian but your chickens are not, if they are not getting enough animal protein , it will cause feather loss and agression, free ranging in warm weather they will take care of this themselves.
well I hope Ive helped

Good advice so far...
I'd also ask, any gnaw or tooth marks on the carcass? How about the coop--look for blood spatters on the ground and walls, bloody head feathers/beaks on your other birds, scatterings of bloody feathers/bits of bird. I looked at the enlarged pics but didn't get much info from them to help you, sorry...
I'd bet it was some kind of animal that came in and hollowed her out, possibly after she had died of natural causes--if you can safely exclude larger animals, maybe a rat (they can get their bodies through any opening they can fit their heads through!) even, then the other chickens may have picked at the carcass after.
So yeah, look for any openings in your coop, even under loose doors (my old coop door had latches at the top AND bottom). If you can pull on your closed coop door and either the top or bottom moves, it's an entry point. Also look around at the OUTSIDE of the coop--look for hair & blood especially. Maybe a trail leading away from the coop.
Good luck with the investigation into the episode, hopefully it's just a weird occurrence and won't happen again. Poor chicky and poor you, finding that must have been awful. :(
Velvet ~:>
I have to agree with posey pet , the hens would bloody the head but not cannibalize the body. I am so sorry for what you had to see and the worry that comes with something like this; I have been there and trust me, you have to become a CSI of sorts. All of the above advise is good and here is a website that makes ID of the predator easier (http://icwdm.org/Inspection/livestock.asp)... it has never steered me wrong.
Within days of finding evidence of a predator, I usually have the ID'd offender in trap. Predators are opportunistic and will return to what they feel is an easy slaughter.
Good luck on capturing and destroying this predator.
Interesting link. Sounds like it might have been opossum or raccoon from that, though the traits aren't exact matches. I still wonder, having seen the other hens take a peck at the carcass, if she had some other weakness and died.
I didn't mention before, but my chickens have been enjoying the final pumpkins and cabbages from the garden, one at a time tossed into their outside run. It's like the hen was just another big, edible object for them.
Now that we have snow on the ground, none of them wants to go outside, anyway, so they're safely holed up in their barn. And I got them a new radio so they can dance again!
Here is a link that might be useful: Busy Solitude Farm
We too have been slammed with snow and the chickens are cooped up. They look forward to their daily warm meal of oats, barley, yogurt and boiled eggs... lol.... we have about 75 chickens and have only been at it for two years now.
I have done a lot of research and lost a few hens but have never seen any cannibalism... I have never even seen them pick at an already dead hen... so perhaps you are right, the death was by some other means and the hens mistook it for another 'treat'...scary to think about .... I hope that is the last time you have to find such a loss and Merry Christmas to you and yours
I have seen my chickens pick at a dead one, who had been flayed by the hawk I talked about in another thread. I didn't think they killed her at the time. I would guess that something else got your hen then the others picked on her like mine did. I wouldn't say a possum, I think they will go for the eggs but not kill a full grown chicken. A raccoon, maybe? Or if she died of natural causes maybe a rat was eating on her before the chickens started pecking? At any rate, I"m sorry you lost a hen. Lori

FTC Awards $50k In Prizes To Cut Off Exasperating Robocalls 216
from the award-the-perpetrators-jail-time dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Worthless. 99% of all illegal robocalls currently spoof their CallerID. I get robocalls that appear to be coming from my neighbors (robocallers frequently spoof a number that is in the same areacode and prefix as the number they are calling). When I subpoena phone records, the calls actually came from across the country from some podunk reseller in California. All that will happen is that robocallers will start spoofing the whitelisted phone numbers.
You need 1) some indication that the callerID has been falsified (i.e. does not match the exchange of the originating ANI) and 2) have carriers impose restrictions on their clients ability to spoof CallerID, such as requiring them to register the numbers they want to spoof in advance, and prove they have a right to use those numbers in outbound calls (such as a call center making calls for a client, where they legitimately need to put the client's inbound 800 number in the outgoing callerID).
Can't wait until Symantec, Kaspersky, etc. sell competing anti-spammer packages for phones.
My google voice number discards spam calls all the time. Including political calls.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/235637/google_voice_spam_filter_blocks_unwanted_calls.html [pcworld.com]
Best thing ever.
Actually, he does, but you don't. Certain types of robocalls are illegal if they use a prerecorded message, but legal if a person is doing the talking. Like the other guy said, they call a lot of numbers at the same time, but since there are not that many people available when calls are answered, some of the calls just get terminated when answered.
What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

Non-invasive Shade Tree?
This seems to be a great forum for garden questions. After 3 weeks of combing nurseries, books and the web, I still have not found the right tree for my yard.
Two years ago in Gilbert, the top half of my beautiful 8-year old Ficus Natida froze. I was tempted to trim and let it re-grow but the roots were shallow and headed for the sidewalk, and the side opposite the exposed roots was top-heavy and leaning toward a neighbor's house.
I would like to find a shade tree that can safely be planted within 4-5 feet of a sewer line on one side and almost as close to a sidewalk on the other. The perfect tree would be evergreen or, if deciduous, have large leaves that all drop at once and not produce noticeable pollen or seeds. I prefer dark green leaves and good shade (south side of the house) but hopefully not so much shade that grass won't grow under it. A good size would be 20-30 ft. tall and wide and it should require minimal trimming (the kind I can do myself).
I've learned a bit about how to stake, and when not to, so shouldn't have the leaning problem again. As much as I enjoy the lawn, I can take it out if necessary to get deep rooting on a good tree.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Try an Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia sisso) of Chinese Pistache (Pistacia chinensis) -- both fit your requirements, although the Pistacia might have less invasive roots for your sewer line. You will also enjoy the fall colors of the Pistacia
Whatever you do, do not buy Eucalyptus or Acacia species -- they will tear into and clog your sewer faster than you can call roto-rooter!
I don't recommend a Sisso. We had one for over 10 years on the northside of our house. Our neighbors found that the trees roots were causing damage to their walkway. We immediately had the tree removed. They sued us for $1750 in damages. Our insurance company said that we were not liable. We offered them other options but the neighbor would not budge. Not a nice thing to go through. We didn't 'plan' where the roots would grow. They extended at least 30 feet in several directions. This IS a very invasive tree!
what about a citris tree? most of them flower in the spring but they are medium sized trees and easy to maintain. there are also 2 different trees along the US 60 (on the southside between gilbert and dobson area) that are only a few years old. no idea what kinds though one tree grows upward in a "puffy raincloud" pattern and has lots of small round leaves like a eucalyptus tree or birch tree from the midwest. it doesnt look like a desert tree and it does not bloom, but i'd expect it reaches 40-50 ft at adult so roots could be too big eventually. the other is definately a desert tree and has leaves like a jacoranda tree would (a million tiny leaves make up one bigger leaf) and it grows in an umbrella pattern and provides lots of shade but should support grass too. it blooms yellowish flowers twice a year for 2-3 weeks, and has a much thinner trunk even as adult- umbrella canopy 10-20 ft wide. i suggest these because i just moved into a house (that faces east so lots of sun in morn and afternoon) and i was also looking for small shade trees. these met my needs for shade and size. i plan to start a vineyard so i need to let some sun in:)

From A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837
ABBEYGORMAGAN, a parish, partly in the barony of LEITRIM, but chiefly in that of LONGFORD, county of GALWAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 8 ½ miles (W. by N.) from Eyrecourt, on the road from Banagher to Tralee; containing 2858 inhabitants. This place, called also "Monaster O'Gormagan," or "de Via Nova," derives its name from a monastery founded here for canons regular of the order of St. Augustine, and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, by O'Gormagan, head of that sept, which at the dissolution was granted by Hen. VIII. to Ulick, first Earl of Clanricarde. The parish comprises 8865 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act: about one-third is arable. Brooklawn is the seat of T. Blake, Esq. It is in the diocese of Clonfert; the rectory is partly appropriate to the set, the deanery, and the archdeaconry, and to the prebends of Fenore, Kilquaine and Kilteskill, in the cathedral church of St. Brandon, Clonfert, and partly united with the vicarage, which forms a portion of the union of Kiltormer. The tithes amount to £218. 15. 4 ½., of which £23. 1. 6 ½. is payable to the bishop, £4. 12. 3 ¾. to the dean, £13.16.11. to the archdeacon, £50. 15. 4 ½. to the prebendary of Fenore, £8. 6. 1 ¾. to the prebendary of Kilquaine, £10. 3. 1. to the prebendary of Kilteskill, and £108 to the incumbent. In the R. C. divisions it is the head of a union or district, comprising also the parish of Killoran, in each of which there is a chapel: that for this parish is situated at Mullagh. There are two private pay schools, in which are about 100 boys and 46 girls.

Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland
In Popular Rhymes and Sayings of Ireland (first published in 1924) John J. Marshall examines the origin of a variety of rhymes and sayings that were at one time in vogue around different parts of the country, including those which he recalled from his own childhood in County Tyrone. Numerous riddles, games and charms are recounted, as well as the traditions of the 'Wren Boys' and Christmas Rhymers. Other chapters describe the war cries of prominent Irish septs and the names by which Ireland has been personified in literature over the centuries.
The book is also available as a Kindle download.
Annals of the Famine in Ireland
Annals of the Famine in Ireland, by Asenath Nicholson, still has the power to shock and sadden even though the events described are ever-receding further into the past. When you read, for example, of the poor widowed mother who was caught trying to salvage a few potatoes from her landlord's field, and what the magistrate discovered in the pot in her cabin, you cannot help but be appalled and distressed.
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Ireland's Welcome to the Stranger
This book, the prequel to Annals of the Famine in Ireland cannot be recommended highly enough to those interested in Irish social history. The author, Mrs Asenath Nicholson, travelled from her native America to assess the condition of the poor in Ireland during the mid 1840s. Refusing the luxury of hotels and first class travel, she stayed at a variety of lodging-houses, and even in the crude cabins of the very poorest. Not to be missed!
The ebook is available for download in .mobi (Kindle), .epub (iBooks, etc.) and .pdf formats. For further information on the book and author see details ».
Henry Ford Jones' book, first published in 1915 by Princeton University, is a classic in its field. It covers the history of the Scotch-Irish from the first settlement in Ulster to the American Revolutionary period and the foundation of the country.
