Caps disagree with Ovechkin suspension
Jan 24, 2012, 1:09 PM EDT
So…just a coincidence Alex Ovechkin pulled out of the All-Star Game the same day the Capitals – from the owner to the general manager to the player himself – grumbled about the three-game suspension the league handed Ovechkin yesterday for launching himself into Zbynek Michalek?
First the owner, Ted Leonsis, on his personal blog: "I do not agree in any way with the suspension of Alex Ovechkin for 3 games. I support Alex Ovechkin. He is our bedrock player – our Captain; and he and his family know that we are always here to support him."
Then the GM, George McPhee, to reporters: "I was surprised and disappointed. I didn't anticipate he'd be suspended for three games. We presented our case to the league yesterday and I thought we did real well, but didn't get the result we wanted."
Finally, Ovechkin: "My game is play physical, my game is play hard and I don't think it was bad hit, dirty hit. Yeah I jumped but he don't get hurt. I don't get two minutes. I don't think it was three-game suspension."
Yeah, probably just a coincidence. Not sticking it to the league whatsoever.

Whatever, let him whine about the suspension like a child, it's better this way anyway; now the All-Star spot can go to someone who deserved it on merit, not just name recognition, and who will probably appreciate it.

It was Zybnek Michalek… good editing.
- Jason Brough - Jan 24, 2012 at 1:33 PM
Thanks…good commenting.
- letangshair - Jan 24, 2012 at 1:36 PM
no problem J. Bro

The idiot left his feet to make a hit. Bottom line.
Leonsis should just shut up.
Crap franchise

Rather than trying to make your point by saying "I didn't get a penalty on the play", he should consider himself lucky. The majority of the players in the league would have been given 5 minutes.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. There's no denying Ovie's talent, but he came into the league at the right time. 20 years ago, someone would have taken his head off by now.
- jptrump00 - Jan 24, 2012 at 2:38 PM
you think Ovie's lucky, then imagine where Crosby's head would be if he came in 20 years ago.
- kicksave1980 - Jan 24, 2012 at 3:45 PM
First let me say that I'm not a fan (ot hater) of the Caps or Pens.
The difference between the two players is that Ovie tiptoes the dirty/clean line a lot more often than Crosby.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Jan 24, 2012 at 2:33 PM
He admits he jumped but thinks it wasn't a dirty hit? Somebody should tell Ovie that jumping at guys has always been against the rules whether you injure the player or not. The fact that he didn't get a penalty on the play probably factored in to the suspension as he should have gotten at least 2 mins or maybe even 5 and a game.
- xnowayout - Jan 24, 2012 at 2:43 PM
Good, give it to the league. Serves them right
- letangshair - Jan 24, 2012 at 3:08 PM
yeah the league is really gonna have trouble selling tickets in OTTAWA because a RUSSIAN isn't gonna show up.
- bossyrossy - Jan 24, 2012 at 5:27 PM
To borrow your penchant for capitalization, ever heard of RATINGS?
- fthepens - Jan 24, 2012 at 3:04 PM
It was only a big deal because it happened in S***sburgh, to Bettman's golden girls. And the fact that the 2 D-Bag announcers couldnt stop whining about it like it happened to one of thier own daughters, only proves that there is special treatment. How about the elbows that freakenstein throws around? He is scoring now that the cherrypicker is not playing.
- kicksave1980 - Jan 24, 2012 at 3:47 PM
Haha Malkin is Frankenstein and Ovie is the Geico Caveman.
- danphipps01 - Jan 24, 2012 at 7:27 PM
Dumbass knows the rules about as well as Brad fucking Marchand. Whether or not you fucked up your cheapshot doesn't make it any less of one, Ovi. That you didn't hurt him has no bearing on the fact that you couldn't be assed to play the game properly.
- dgrindsports - Jan 24, 2012 at 10:29 PM
What kind of hockey game do they play … I mean if you want to eliminate checking, do so.
Suspending Ovechkin for a hit like that is just stupid. Shanahan is a nazi.

Your experience with LARGE cuttings
Riding home from work the other day I saw these drooping Frangipani leaves out of the corner of my eyes, something I haven't seen before. They are usually very green and glossy, sometimes with sunburn or other small imperfections but never drooping. So I had to stop and have a closer look, aha snapped clean off near the base. Knocked on the door and some guy opened up who said that he is only house-sitting and to come back at the weekend, which I did. The owner told me that during some recent wild weather the tree just split. It started off as a cutting with 3 tips, branching out near the base. The storm snapped 2 branches off, one was completely undamaged. He told me that I can have one if I wanted. Ok, yes please was the answer. He even offered to transport it in his 4x4. I didn't have to go far so I just walked it home, you should have seen the looks from passer-byes! Anyway my plan is to leave it out during winter then plant it straight into the ground come spring. It's roughly 12ft long!!! Have you ever tried something like this?
That is a large cutting. LOL!
If you have mild temps and very well draining soil, you could probably just stick the thing in the soil in your 'Spring', or you could try to root it in a pot over your Winter, keeping it mostly dry and warm. If you want the long trunk, leave it, or if you want a shorter 'tree', cut the trunk back a bit. Do you know what color it is?
Hopefully someone from your region will give better advice!
That is one HUGE cutting! LOL.. I thought i had a set of "Antlers" LOL.. This is one for the books!
Congratulations on this set!! I bet you were grinning ear to ear as you were walking home. Those people who were looking had no idea at what a treasure you had on your shoulder!!!
Please let us know how you decide to root this huge cutting. I agree with Dave that it might be easier to shorten the main stem just a little. It just may make it more stable once it roots and can establish itself in the ground. I would also stake it once you root it and plant it where you want it. Wouldn't want another storm to take this beauty down..
Bill has had the largest set of "antlers" rooting in his yard. Maybe he will see this post and give you some advise!!
Great find!!
LOL!! How fantastic!! I don't know about you but I am grinning ear to ear! The image of you carrying that cutting home (if you can even call it a cutting) is beyond comical. Only such a Plumie addict would do that.
Congrats on such a great find. I can't wait to hear what you will do with it. :)
Mr. Frangi, I see you're fitting right in here already, lol. A plumie lover after my own heart. Can't let a good instant tree go to waste, can we?
I believe it is possible to root a huge cutting like that as is but it will probably be easier if you take the trunk down at least a foot and a half or so, like Dave and Laura suggested for stability. Good luck and keep us posted!
Ive rooted a 6 ft cutting before. The larger the cutting the more likely it will root and faster/easier. If I were you Id get a large pot like a 10gal or larger and pot it up during winter. Since you found it close to your house your temps most not get that cold in winter, so again Id pot it up and it should be rooted by spring. If it were spring/summer id just dig a hole in the ground to root.
On my larger cuttings I sometimes tie it like you did to the wrought Iron fence for stability to avoid having it topple over and breaking branches.
I have done a number of large cuttings. I take a plastic juice bottle and poke holes in the bottom. I put in soil for a few inches, then the cutting and fill the bottle with soil. I WATER it with superthrive or B1 and water once and tie it to a post like you did. When I can see roots around the inside of the bottle, I cut off the bottom of the bottle with a razor knife, then split opposite sides of the bottle, take out the root ball and plant. I stake up the plant with a piece of conduit painted green and pounded into the ground. I have a 2 meter cutting now that I am about to transplant to a rowing center within a week. The nice thing about the plastic bottle is you can see when there is enough roots to transplant.Here is one I started in a 1.5L water bottle:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
It is very possible to root any size cutting. I would assume this to be a very big log or stump cutting. This is the first rooting.
Then it was relocated to a permanent home. It suffered quiet a bit of damage in 2007. But it has bounced back. This is an old photo.
Happy Rooting.
Hi Everyone,
I just love seeing all of the pics of the huge cuttings..
MF... We can't wait to hear how this will turn out for you!! Good Luck and im sure you will have great success!!!
Bill, that is some Rack that you have!!! Those are huge!!
Kasie... I love seeing that huge tree in your pics.. The shape of it then looked great and i would imagine it has grown to be a beautiful tree.
Hi James.. I am sure you have some beauties of large cutting too! Love to see your pics. Hope you are feeling better. Have fun in Ibiza!!
Take care,
Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
I was set on just planting it straight into the ground come spring but after seeing tdogdad's post I decided to try his suggestion.
The soil mix I used is 1 part potting mix, 1 part perlite. The diamater of the tree is over 10cm/4in I might need a clear bucket instead, or do you think the bottle is big enough? Thank you kasie for your post. I also have a stump cutting (not as big) and was wondering if I could plant it. Well now I know, I have planted it using the same method as above. Fingers crossed.
You might want a bucket... Unless, you want to move it into a more permanent pot as soon as you see the first indication of roots forming. In that case, your current bottle might suffice actually. In that case I think you'll need to keep a close eye on it.
Here is a small cutting (5 tips) after a couple of weeks:
Even thought the cutting is only halfway down in the bottle you can see how fast the roots began filling the bottle. I can only imagine what your mega cutting will do.
That thing is fantastic, BTW... a perfect tree as-is. I do hope you'll keep us updated... can't wait to see it all leafed out and blooming.
Good job!
After hurricane Ike I picked up a couple of truck loads of HUGE plumeria cuttings, I just stuck them in pots of soil around the yard. So busy trying to clean up and deal with insurance. Stuck them on the side and forgot about them. 95% rooted!
The smaller ones I swapped all over the country and the bigger ones went to local plant swaps and our community garden plant sale.
Tally HO!
I thought I update on the progress of the "cutting".
It showed leave growth back in Sept but then growth slowed right down. It started to push up inflos and has been flowering for the last few month.
The strange thing is that the leaves are still not completely formed.
Looks like it's all working out but what would cause the slow leave growth?

DEFINITION of 'Proportional Consolidation'
In accounting for joint ventures, a method of including items of income, expense, assets and liabilities in proportion to the firm's percentage of participation in the venture. The proportional consolidation method was initially favored by IFRS accounting standards, though it also allows use of the equity method. Under U.S. GAAP, a firm's interest in a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Recently, IFRS standards have begun to converge with those of GAAP on this matter.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Proportional Consolidation'
The issue of accounting for joint ventures has been a matter of ongoing discussion in the movement to resolve significant differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Proponents of proportional consolidation argue that this method provides more detailed information, since it breaks out the performance of the joint venture interest into its component parts. The equity method is favored by others, who feel that it is a simpler and more straightforward approach of accounting for outside investments.

(For those of you following, you've already read the beginning. This is the official COMPLETE first chapter. I have placed a divider in the story where the newest addition can be found. I hope you enjoy)
Chapter 1 A New Life, a New Beginning!
Jon sighed as he leaned against the wall. It had been two weeks, and all he's done is clean 2 rooms and the outside hot spring spa. But as he worked he smiled "This place will sell for so much once it's clean." Ever since he got the news that his grandmother passed and gave him the inn, he was objective. She wanted him to move in and run the inn, a business he could handle. Jon however was content with the job he had with no intention to go with his grandmother's wishes. His mom however did push Jon to go in and clean up the place, saying that after he fixed up the place if he still didn't want to run it then he could sell it. With the idea of making money Jon was more than eager to take vacation from work to fix the place up.
As he sat there reflecting on all that happened he lay back against the wall with a sigh, between finishing up the spa, fixing it's filtration, and making his way up to this room he was a bit tired. Just as he became comfortable he gasped when the wall cracked and his body fell back into the wall as it collapsed around him, getting covered in a pile of dirt.
Meanwhile in a world of fantasy, a young fairy named Nuella was out on her daily flight. Spreading her wings she sighed happily, feeling the wind flow through her hair. "Oh, right!" She smiled remembering what Aisha told her about a small unexplored area to her tribe. She was out looking for new herbs, and plants she could use when she came upon this unexplored area. Aisha however had to abide to her tribes wishes and wait for the area to be explored safely before she could explore it herself.
Taking a small detour from her normal flight path, she made her way to the small burrow not far from her. As she landed she saw that this place had a strange look to it, like it wasn't formed naturally, instead it must have been crafted. She took a moment to study the walls, then let out a content sigh when she realized it wasn't formed by a large creature but rather seeming to be constructed in a human method.
With this she felt much easier about walking inside safely as she made her way into the somewhat poorly lit pathway. Using her own magic she made a glow to create light as she made her way through. Before long, she made her way to a small opening that was lit up much better than the path as she found what looked like an alter. Looking around she was surprised at what she saw. "How long has this been here?" Nuella made her way up the steps towards a very strange looking statue of a woman holding a strange crystal.
Jon sat up, coughing from the dust as he said, "Wow this place is crap... I'll have to check all the walls..." he sighed when he turned around, "whoa..." In front of him was a strange and unfamiliar statue, "Wh.. what is this?" he questioned as he examined it. "Maybe grandma was a strange religious person..." As he examined the statue he saw the strange crystal in the woman's hand when it seemed to glow. Surprised he reached forward, looking to grasp the crystal as he thought about how much it would be worth. As his hand clasped around it, he gasped when the light grew brighter, the crystal seeming to disappear from his hand when suddenly something tackled him causing him to land outside the small shrine.
Jon went to sit up, when he noticed, a strange white haired woman was laying on top of him. "H.. hey get off, where did you come from?" he asked pushing her up off of him. The girl reached up, and rubbed her head, "ugh.... what happened?" she seemed confused when she noticed the boy in front of her. "Wait... what... wh.. where am I?!" She began to look around in a panic as she tried to recognize her surroundings. Then she noticed the statue, "Ahh stupid thing take me back!" She started hitting the chest of the statue light in hopes to be taken back to her world.
Jon was confused, this woman seemed focused on the statue as he tried to get her attention, "Hey, what are you doing in my inn?" he asked her but she just turned around. His eyes widened at the new sight he beheld on the new girl. She was pale skinned and has bright pink eyes that expressed her nervousness of her new surroundings, and upon her head she had two small antennae shifting about to sense the area, and on her back was a pair of dragonfly like wings folded back though spread open just a bit so he could see them. It became clear as to what she was and he could hardly believe it. She was a fairy.
She seemed a bit flustered with him being here as she said, "Wh... where am I?"
Jon was confused by her question as he said, "You're in my inn, and I would like it if you left!" He replied, still shocked from her sudden presence. The girl was upset, this boy had just brought her to this world and it was like she was teasing him.
"What are you talking about! You brought me here, not send me home!" She stepped towards him pushing her index finger angrily into his chest.
Jon was surprised by her strength, but pushed her arm aside, "You came here intruding my inn, I don't know what you're talking about!" The girl seemed to look around as if she was thinking. She looked confused and afraid as she didn't know what to do. Seeing her in this state almost made Jon feel sorry for her.
After a few moments, she stopped and said, "Wait... what world is this?" She grabbed Jon's arms, seeming insistent on getting the answer.
"i.." Jon started confused, "I... It's earth... are you ok? did you hit your head?" Jon was starting to worry as the last thing he needed was a law suit, especially when he didn't even want to live here and considering that maybe her wings and antennae were a part of a costume of some kind. The girl just sighed as if making a realization and looked over at Jon making a decision.
"I.. Would you mind if... if I stayed here? I could do chores and I won't be much of a burden!" She knew she couldn't go to far from the statue, but at this point she was just hoping to have somewhere to stay. Jon had to think about it, her offer was nice though, with her help he could get this place cleaned up in no time.
"Well..." Jon started still thinking about it, could he really stay under the roof with a woman... giving out a sigh he nodded, "Yeah, you can stay here, there is plenty of space!" He smiled. The girl almost let out a shriek as she hugged him. Her chest pressing against his Jon blushed nervously when she looked up at him.
"Th... Thank you so much!" she said excited as she looked at him. Seeing his blush she stepped back and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't even introduced myself... My name's Nuella! I.. I um... I promise I'll be helpful!" She seemed nervous now as Jon wanted to calm her down.
"D.. Don't worry, I'll let you stay just as long as you help out, um... My name's Jon" He smiled, "I promise I won't kick you out!" He said but as he thought about it, he knew eventually he'd have to if he was gonna sell the place but he would work on that later. After he said that though be blushed surprised at the smile on her face. "w... well it's getting late, why don't I show you to your room!" He smiled and down the hall, "This is one of the better guest rooms, you can stay here!"
Nuella was surprised, this room was bigger than one of the tents at her tribe. "Really? I can sleep here?" she said confused.
"That's right, and if you need me for anything I'm across the hall alright?" She blushed then nodded.
"Thank you Jon, this means a lot" She said, Nuella knew from her mother that sometimes humans would exchange favors when helping out others. Though she was nervous she wasn't going to turn him down in return for letting her stay. She leaned forward lightly squeezing her chest Giving him a good look down her shirt at her cleavage as she said, "S... so Jon is there.. a.. anything else I can do for you?" She asked in a shy manner
Jon was confused, but blushed as he said, "n.. no that's alright I'm pretty tired so I'll just get some sleep!" Nuella almost seemed surprised as he turned around. Starting to question, why he hadn't tried anything, was she unattractive, or annoying... Maybe... he wasn't like that... With that last thought she felt a strange. Jon left the room and she sighed deciding to lay down and get up early to help clean.
Jon walked back to his room, "ugh... this is bad.. what am I gonna do?" He asked himself. Shutting the door he walked over to the futon on the floor, "I do hate giving up the good bed.... oh well" Crawling into the almost flat bedding he let off another sigh as he struggled to fall asleep.
Nuella spent the night struggling to sleep, as her thoughts turned to home and wondered just how she'd get back. Though she soon turned to Jon when he made her blush and wonder just what kind of person he was. Her only hint to how she came to earth was the statue and him, and that made her wonder if he brought him over purposely or if he truly didn't know. Rolling over and closing her eyes she sighed trying her best to put it off for now.
When morning came Nuella awoke to the sun her natural alarm clock. Stretching as she sat up, she'd panicked for a moment before remembering what happened. "I suppose I'd better go find Jon to help him with chores!" She said with a bit of a sigh, but she wasn't really upset with the chores, she just wished it were easy to go home. After getting dressed Nuella found her way to Jon's room, "oh... he's still asleep!" she blushed seeing him lay there on the blanket. "Why'd he let me have the better bed?" She pondered but as she spoke Jon turned in his bed.
Jon opened his eyes, and found Nuella standing over him, from this angle he could see up her tribal skirt. He quickly realized she wasn't wearing any underwear as he scoot back, "Ah, I... I'm sorry!" He blushed hard. She only seemed confused by his action though.
"Sorry for what?" Nuella asked. Jon gulped then shook his head as he didn't want to start up any issues between them and smiled nervously.
"Um... w.. what are you doing in here?" He said nervously as he sat up showing that he was shirtless, making sure to cover his lower half as he was wearing only his underwear.
"Oh um.." Nuella realized he was covering it, blushing a bit as she said, "Umm, is.. there anything you want me to do for you?"
Jon was nervous as he went a bit blush himself, but turned away for a moment saying, "I um... well I have to finish cleaning the whole inn, would you mind helping me?" Nuella gasped, it wasn't often she had to do labor, but, he did offer to let him stay as long as she needed.
Nuella looked back but sighed, "Sure, I would... love to help" she said smiling down at him.
Jon still nervous said, "o.. ok, uh if you... could wait in the kitchen I'll be right down!" Nuella nodded still a bit blush and made his way down stairs. Jon sighed as he didn't really want to ask her to help but he was nervous because of what he got to see. Though thinking about it, he did enjoy the view, at least while it lasted. As he changed his clothes, Jon thought he heard a noise at the window.
Jon leaned out the window part way and looked about but didn't see anyone. Sighing he figured he's just stressed before he finished dressing. As he got to the kitchen he grabbed some food out of the fridge asking, "Is there anything you want for breakfast?"
Nuella gasped, "y.. you're cooking?" she thought he would be making her do more given how quickly he asked her to clean.
"Yeah, do you have any preference on food?" He smiled.
Nuella was worried that this was a trap as she said, "umm what do you have?" Jon looked through the fridge then back at the counter.
"Well I didn't have much to bring, but I have some fruit, bread, meats, and eggs. As for drinks I have some pop, milk, and water" he said turning back to her.
"I.. well water, and fruit sounds nice" she said smiling now, which was hard as she felt rather trapped here since she can't go home to her friends and family. Jon nodded as he got her a plate, cutting up some fruits while his pan heated up. As he set it at the table Nuella took the pieces curiously sniffing them. She was worried they might be poisoned or something, but she knew he was a nice guy, and he didn't seem like that kind of person.
Jon was making eggs, and ham on the same pan as Nuella started eating, enjoying it. Just then she felt something poke her legs. Confused she looked down and saw a brown furred neko putting a finger over her lips. "Krynn?!" she cried out in surprise, "How did you get here?!"
Jon turned back confused, "Krynn?" The sizzling made him remember to plate the food as he turned back to see Krynn standing up with a sigh.
"Nuella, don't you know that" she put a finger to her lips, "Means be quiet?" <She groaned as she got up to her feet from her hiding place, her long feline tail sliding up her body as she stretched and her cat ears twisting around to get a better hearing reception around the room.>
"I'm sorry, but.. how did you get here? I mean I didn't tell anyone where I was going!" Nuella hugged Krynn as she was happy to see her friend but Krynn sweat dropped pulling away. She was much taller than Nuella was, she wore her brown hair down which was short and unkempt. she adorned herself with a leather top that covered her breasts and a woven skirt similar to that what Nuella wore, showing off her lithe body to the world without a care in the world, exposing her slim belly and her skirt now covering too much of her legs that seemed frail to hide their hidden strength down to her bare feet with nails a bit long and sharp, same with her fingers as well with their nails, sharing more traits of a cat.
"I wouldn't be the best tracker in our village if I couldn't... So who's the boy?" she said almost seductively, Eying him up and down.
"Oh, that's um.. Jon, he's letting me stay here and... oh Jon! Can Krynn stay too!" Jon gasped as Krynn seemed confused.
"Stay? why don't we just go home?" she asked as Jon sighed. He grabbed some meat from the fridge putting it on the pan.
"I'll guess you want some ham?" he asked her as she sat next to Nuella, "Lots!" she giggled before Nuella tried to explain to the unaware neko girl.
"Somehow we got transported to... Earth, a strange but human infested world! And, well we don't know how to get back, the statue doesn't seem to work both ways." Krynn thought about this and pouted. Though thinking she wasn't really sure how she got here to begin with.
"Well, I guess but he's really just letting us stay here for free?" she asked Nuella who turned away.
"Well he did ask me if I could help him clean up the inn" Krynn seemed to be upset about this, but didn't voice any opinion about it. Not when there was food coming. Jon made some ham slices for Krynn handing her a plate before sitting down to eat his own. They sat rather quietly as Jon seemed to be upset about something. "What's wrong Jon?"
He blinked, "oh, it's... well I only really brought food for myself... with you two here, I'll need some more for the next week" he said still thinking. "I guess I'll need to go shopping" he checked his wallet to make sure he had all he needed, "Do you girls need anything?" he asked.
Nuella gasped, "I.. well..." she looked at Krynn both seeming nervous as she didn't wanna ask.
Jon gasped, "d.. do you mean clothes?" he said before Nuella nodded. "Well.. we can do that tomorrow but today I need to make sure the Inn gets cleaned" he smiled, "Alright?" she gasped though nervous.
"Well.. does that mean you want me to get started before you get back?" she rubbed her arm, Krynn having a more annoyed look on her face.
Jon rubbed the back of his head, "you don't have to, but if you want I could help you get started before I go" She blushed a bit and nodded as Jon got a bucket for water, with a rag, "When I get back I'll get to work on some repairs that need to get done, I need to replace a lot of wood around the place" Jon showed Nuella what room she could start work in, which was a smaller one person bedroom as he felt bad about having her help.
With Jon having just left the inn to purchase food from the store, Nuella was quickly working to clean room after room. Because of her fairy magic she could move much quicker than a human and had much more stamina. Krynn following her around laying on a bed as she lazily watched him. "You know, you could just shrink him, and make him a pet or something... You don't have to clean this place for him! He's just a Human after all."
"Krynn, I can't believe you'd say something like that... Especially with how opposed to the slave trade you are."
"Aww come on, I bet he'd love it, the males back home do, the perverted little things."
"I'm sorry Krynn, but Jon seems very nice, I mean... He did offer to let us stay for free right? And he's out now buying us food! Now don't be rude!" Krynn looked at Nuella with a bit of anger still in her eyes before she looked away with a huff and lay on the bed facing the ceiling.
Thinking about the situation she remembered that Nuella had been here for a good night before Krynn found her. "So has he tried to sleep with you yet?" Krynn hummed lightly as she watched Nuella clean. Nuella gasped dropping her rag. As she fumbled to catch it she knocked over a bucket, water spilling out onto the floor. "Oh my, he did, didn't he!"
Nuella turned and pouted, "Of course he didn't!" She replied defensively towards Krynn. Krynn just grinned and laughed, "Ok, ok, no need to get upset now!" Krynn laughed at her friend as she sat up causing Nuella to become flush with embarrassment.
Back in Felarya Euri was off in search of her daughter and friend. Following the trace of her daughters magical energy she came upon a shrine. Landing she huffed, "You two better be safe!" she said as if to scold them from afar. Going inside the strange alter she spotted a small statue that seemed to be representative of a human. Euri stepped towards the strange statue, though she didn't know where her daughter was, her magical presence enveloped the strange stone creation. Placing a hand on the head of the sculpture she gasped as a light enveloped her body, and before long she was somewhere new. "Hmm, now this is strange..." Stepping back she observed her surroundings. It appeared that she was now in a room made of a strange wood she couldn't recognize.
All around her though she could sense her daughters presence, magic filled the room as if she'd spent much time in there. Making her way to the door she slid it open only to find a hall of doors. "Oh Nuella, where are you..." Looking around she gained no hints as every door, and even the hall was flooded with magical energy.
Hearing a noise coming from beneath her, she noticed the stairs walking down to investigate. Her steps were light, and virtually soundless as she let her wings flutter a moment before they disappeared from view with her antennae.
As she reached the bottom of the stairs, a new set of doors, each one with Nuella's presence, "Has she been made a slave?" A moment of anger over came her as she walked forward looking into an open door in the hall where she spotted, the young looking blonde boy Jon putting food away in strange cabinets. She was surprised though, this strange man before her, he was cute, and had a strange innocence about him. She blushed a moment before calming herself as she said, "My isn't he cute!"
Jon smiled hearing the voice, "Nuella is th.." But his sentence was cut short as he turned around and spotted this strange woman. Was it Nuella? It looked a lot like her... but much older. "N.. Nuella?" he asked, "What happened to you?"
Euri turned her head slightly, confused by his question, but just then smiled, "Hmm? What do you mean? I feel perfectly fine!" Euri stepped closer to the strange boy squeezing her arm together in a subtle manor to make her chest seem larger. As she approached him, Jon took a step back, grabbing onto the sink as he had nowhere to go. "Y... You look different..."
Euri grinned then pretended to feign lightly as she fell towards Jon, as he reached up catching her by the shoulder, "Nuella!" He gasped.
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit off... could you hold me?" She smiled as he held her, pushing her chest into his, one hand almost pulling on his shirt collar, her lips closer to his as her breath washed across his face.
In the room next to them Nuella had been cleaning when she heard Jon call her name. Wiping a light sweat from her forehead she dropped her rag into the dirty bucket she had been using all day.
Nuella stepped into the doorway as she said, "Yes Jon, what..." But she paused as she couldn't believe what she saw. In front of her own eyes, her mother was all over this boy who was so kind to let her and her best friend Krynn stay with him free of charge. "m... Mother?!" She gasped.
Jon gasped, "N... Nuella?!" He couldn't believe his eyes, two Nuella's in front of him. "Wh... Who are you?!" He cried pushing her off himself Now getting a better look at her she had darker skin than Nuella and had long green hair and emerald colored eyes, not to mention that she had a more desirable curved body than Nuella did. Euri only let off a giggle, "Oh you're no fun dear!" She said to her daughter with a light giggle, "What did mommy tell you about interrupting her on a date!" Both Jon and Nuella blushed hard as she said that. "D.. Date?!" Jon protest but she turned back, now her mood having darkened "And you, how dare you make my daughter your slave!"
Jon tried to reply, "It's not like that! I..." but Euri slapped him, cutting him short.
"I won't have this! You should learn your place" she seemed adamant as her large butterfly like wings started to grow back out of her body. Nuella noticed this and grabbed her mother pulling her back.
"It's not like that really!" Nuella protested, "I offered to do chores! H.. He didn't even ask!" she said nervously hoping her mother would let the poor guy go. After all he'd been so nice to let them stay there, and her mother would do stuff to him that he didn't deserve.
Euri paused then looked back at Jon as she said, "Is this true?" Jon too stunned from the slap to talk merely nodded to her question. She pondered for a moment, as her wings absorbed back into her body and said, "I suppose if she offered, then it's not your fault." she sighed, "It's so good to see you!" she hugged Nuella kissing her cheek. "I was so worried about you!"
Nuella blushed as Jon watched and said, "M.. Mom not in front of people!" she blushed harder saying it as her mother giggled.
"Aww, what's the matter sweetie, don't want people knowing mommy loves you?" Euri teased her daughter as Krynn walked in, "Oh Euri! Now that you're here, we can get Jon cleaning up this place instead of Nuella." But Euri shook her head.
"If Nuella really wants to clean then she can, I won't stop her from making her own choices." she then turned, "but I won't tolerate you taking advantage of her got it?" she waved a finger at Jon as he pouted.
"I didn't take advantage of her.... Besides, I offered the three of you to stay here, and unless any of you plan on getting a job, it'll be rent free... not to mention food, clothes, and general upkeep like electricity." The three girls looked at Jon confused, as where they came from such things may have existed but they never had to pay for them but simply made themselves anything they need <Due to that they lived in a rather primitive life style before they arrived.> Jon sighed and thought as Euri got an idea.
"Well, you seem busy, I need to talk to my girls here, come with me!" she said almost commanding them. They follow her to another room and Jon sighed taking care of his groceries before getting ready to start cleaning another room. Euri however had fun as she brought the girls to one of the already clean rooms.
"So Nuella... Have you seduced him yet?" Neulla blushed hard as Krynn giggled.
"Nope, she's too afraid!" she <replied> hugging Nuella as she teased her, Nuella flush red with embarrassment.
Euri only giggled as she said, "Then that means he's open! If you're interested, it's all fair who ever wants him for themselves" Though Euri had a mate already, she didn't know when she'd get home, and she had needs. Plus while he had her daughter doing hard work, he was cute. Besides there's no reason she can't enjoy herself.
Krynn had a sly grin on her face as she pondered it. She was surprised that Nuella didn't take after her mother as much as one would think, but Krynn was all for the hunt. Getting Jon to sleep with her would be an easy game she figured, and she could even win the competition.
Nuella just blushed, as she didn't always see eye to eye with her mother. She didn't like to think of sex so much... Nuella knew that one day she'd meet the boy she liked and she'd serve him well, but the boy she likes would take care of her too. Jon was nice, but... She didn't know what to think about him as a partner.
The girls all left to find Jon as they found him on the floor scrubbing one of the rooms Nuella hadn't gotten to yet. He seemed unaware of their presence as he continued when Euri giggled, "Oh my, you are a handy boy aren't you?" she teased him walking up. Nuella only pouted a bit as she knew that she was trying to butter him up, and sure enough Jon blushed a bit.
"I'm just cleaning.... but you girls need some clothes... would you all be ok with a shopping trip? I'm not looking to spend a ton but... I don't want you to be stuck with just one outfit either" Krynn seemed a bit surprised.
Euri only teased, "I knew you were just looking for a reason to see us naked" she pulled down lightly on her dress, not showing anything but making her cleavage appear a bit bigger when Krynn pounced on top of Jon.
"If that's what you wanted, all you had to do was ask!" She pressed her chest on Jon's< back> as he lay back <Against her>, completely flush now as Nuella protest.
"P.. Please stop!" she said then blushed, "I mean... he just wants to help us out... and I'm grateful for all he's done!" Euri giggled to herself, as she and Krynn were probably both thinking the same thing that they 'were' repaying the kindness he gave but she and Krynn both stood up and backed up.
"Well what are we waiting for then! Let's get going." Euri smiled as the three girls all head for the front door. Jon followed as he checked how much money he had on hand, seeing that he only had a hundred. He'd have to stop at the bank the next day and pull out some cash to buy food with. Jon was rather grateful his grandmother had donated the Inn to him. Meeting the girls at the entrance to the Inn he led them to a nearby store.
Once inside, they were quickly greeted by a service lady as she offered to help them pick out some things to wear. Jon nervous said, "Keep it under 100... I'm not exactly rich" He said as Krynn and Nuella were looking together. Euri didn't seem to browse as much as glance at most of the clothes. Jon sighed, following them around until Euri called him over to a changing room.
She pulled him inside as she was wearing only a <pair of red> bra and panties as she said, "So what do you think of this?" she held up a dress to the side, elegant with frilly designs around the edges and a rather complicated design along the front. To the other side she held up a much more bold but simple plain dress.
Jon could only gulp, flush with embarrassment as he said, "Th-that one" Pointing to the much simpler design also thinking it would be cheaper.
"I like your taste" she said before pushing him out with the other dress. Jon put it back before seeking out Krynn and Nuella as he said, "Are you girls doing just fine?"
Krynn smiled, "Nya, all these clothes cover the good parts" she whined, "And the ones that don't are too small" she pouted, holding up a rather skimpy shirt. Jon blushed as Nuella grabbed it out of her hand.
"It's a different world Krynn, you could try to blend in!" she said holding up a thicker short sleeve shirt and jeans. She'd gotten 3 pairs of outfits and Jon seemed happier with her choices. He sighed though realizing that the clothes would be more than the money he'd have on him so he'd have to charge his card and hope that he gets his inheritance in time.
Euri walked back out in the dress smiling, "You have good taste in dresses" she giggled sensually as she rubbed her chest on his back. Jon gulped as Krynn chose similar clothes to Nuella, still upset she couldn't display her parts. Jon helped them pick out some socks and underwear, Euri and Krynn insisting they get specialty underwear. Over all their clothes came to just over 500 dollars as Jon seemed rather upset.
Jon was rather flush, as they walked home Euri held him closer to her arm. This made Nuella blush as well, rather embarrassed her mother acted in such a way. Krynn hopped on his back freeing him from Euri but he nearly fell over as he held her up. Jon was 6 foot tall, so when he met these girls, Euri being 6'8" and Krynn being 6'4" He was thrown off by how tall they were. Nuella however was only 5'10" as she preferred to feel normal around others unlike her mother who preferred to stand above the rest.
Once home Jon sighed, exhausted and the day was only half gone. He had a lot to think about though, the new girls presence as well as the inn. He didn't know what to think as they went to the kitchen, "I'll make us dinner" he said smiling at them trying to hide his problems as Nuella jumped in to help.
"I can help, you don't need to do all that by yourself" She joined in the cooking as Euri tugged Krynn to the other room. Jon didn't notice, he rather enjoyed Nuella's company, she was kind, and wasn't trying to push her body on him. Not that he didn't enjoy it, but it was not how he was raised to think of girls in such a way, even if those girls were magical beings from another world.
Euri smiled, "Krynn dear, I think Nuella might win the game without playing" she giggled, "He is a different kind of person isn't he" She giggled.
Krynn only teased, "It's like he's never done it before," she laughed as both of them looked at each other, "You don't think..."
"That seems to be the problem" she thought before saying, "Keep an eye on him, I don't want him hurting Nuella, and I don't think you do either!" She smiled, "Besides, you have special skills that should help you do so" she added making Krynn excited.
Krynn only seemed happy as she said, "You mean... That thing you forbid me to do?" her tail wagged back and forth as she was more than happy to do it. Euri only winked at her before they returned to the kitchen sitting at the table as Jon and Nuella served their food.
"I hope you enjoy, I'm not the greatest cook, I hope it's not too bad" Krynn started digging in as Euri ate slowly.
"Thank you dear for your service, though I trust it's well if Nuella put a hand in it" She smiled as she ate her food. Jon sighed a bit, almost getting annoyed with Euri treating him more like a servant than a savior but he really didn't want to be treated like that either. As they ate their meal the phone rang and Jon got up.
"I'll be right back, I need to take that" Jon knew who that was, and knew that he'd have to make up his mind sooner than he'd hoped. Euri however saw the grim look on his face and nudged Krynn having her follow him. Jon looked over not seeing any of the girls as he answered. "Hello, Rachel?" He said into the phone, "I need to talk to you.... Yeah, about selling the inn" Krynn hearing this ran back to the others in distress without remaining behind to hear more.
"He's selling the inn! I heard him say it to... Rachel on the phone!" The girls seemed shocked as Krynn went on, "He's kicking us out on the street, and we'll never get home!" she cried faking a cry as Euri stood up.
"Did he actually say that?! It doesn't seem like him, why would he buy us clothes?" Nuella protest, she didn't believe that Jon would actually do that when he was so nice to her, and the others despite their behavior.
Euri however shook her head, "I'm sorry Euri, I know you like him but Krynn wouldn't lie... I suppose it's time I take charge of the situation, and I don't wanna hear any buts!" Nuella wanted to speak but never could work up the courage to fight against her mother. Jon however was having more trouble than he hoped.
"Yeah, I'm cancelling the sale... I decided I'm gonna go through with the renovations and open the inn back up" he said, "I understand, you'll get your cover fee. Thank you for your patience" He hung up with a sigh. He was hoping on the money he got from the sale to put him through college but life has a funny way of changing things. He walked back when he saw only Nuella was in the kitchen. "Nuella, where are the others?" He asked
Nuella seemed a bit distressed but she knew that Krynn wouldn't lie, and she had to think of her mother, and best friend before thinking of Jon. She took his hand and pulled him to the living room area. Once there Jon saw as Euri was sitting in a chair smiling, "Good dear, would you like to do the honors?" she asked Nuella.
"What honors?" Jon asked confused, Krynn behind him suddenly gave him a hug pinning his arms down. Jon gasped, trying to fight her as he said, "Wait, what's going on?" She held on firm, being much stronger than Jon as Nuella seemed sad still.
"I'm sorry Jon" She said before using her magic. Jon began to shrink, his clothes becoming baggier as he did. It was slow at first, she didn't want to scare Jon so she let him get used to the idea of everything growing around him. Krynn held firm but loosened up as he shrank, not needing so much strength to pin him.
"Sorry? what... Wh.. why is everything" He panicked but started to realize he was shrinking, "B.. but how is that possible?" He cried out as Nuella nodded to her mother seeing that he was at least familiar with the idea that he was shrinking. He began shrinking much faster, but still slow enough that Krynn could hold him. Soon he saw as Krynn's fingers covering his vision. His sight soon turned to darkness as he had become only 4 inches tall.
Krynn carried Jon over to Euri before opening her hands as light blinded him. His vision cleared, and there it was Euri's massive face before him as she giggled, blowing air over him. The force caused him to roll backwards as he almost fell off. He managed to hold onto her pinky to keep from falling as he struggled to get up. Both Krynn and Euri giggled as Jon was still in disbelief this was all happening. "come on, you promised you wouldn't hurt him!" Nuella whined to her mother as she smiled.
"You're right, sorry" She said to her daughter as Euri helped Jon back into Krynn's hand, "But I think it's time Jon understood he should be pleasuring us" She said before pointing down. Before Jon could protest he was lowered down and dropped on the floor at Euri's bare feet. "You're going to rub my feet for me!" Her feet didn't smell bad, but not pleasant either.
Jon stepped back and blinked, "I.. Wh. why?!" He cried, "I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not rubbing your feet!" he whined up at her. But that only made Euri giggle as Krynn got on all fours, bending down to Jon.
"You'll rub, or..." She never said what would happen, but Krynn leaned in and licked Jon. Her saliva stuck to his back, lifting him off the ground. He got a view of her mouth, the black cavern surrounded by pearl white crushers before landing on his back. He got up and Nuella seemed worried but Jon just gulped before he moved forward starting to rub Euri's foot. "That's better, I knew you'd see things my way!" she smiled.
Nuella was biting her finger nervous before she said, "Maybe I should take the first turn" she said but Euri shook her head.
"That wouldn't be fair to Krynn, she goes before you" she giggled, "Besides Nuella, you'll get your turn" Jon was just in disbelief of all this as he tried to protest, but Euri pushed her foot down on him. "One hour for each of us before bed" she smiled, "We'll figure out tomorrow in the morning" she only grinned as she spoke to Jon, "Don't worry, we won't break you... tonight" she teased down to him. Jon could only struggle against her foot as Krynn giggled at the sight, Jon knew he was in for a long night.
Thank you for reading chapter one. Look forward to future updates, I'm open to criticism and look forward to hearing any ideas for future additions, and any requests for things that might appear in the story.

The Poem by Tecumseh:
"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself.
Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.
Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
I really loved this Poem by Tecumseh, from the movie Act of Valor. This poem by Tecumseh is exceptionally well written and inspirational. I lost a friend, similar to those portrayed in the movie, a few months after this movie came out. Please take a moment and say "Thank you" to his family.

No PC version of Rockstar's upcoming blockbuster Grand Theft Auto V has been announced yet, but that hasn't stopped Amazon France from giving it a product page.
This isn't the first time Amazon France has listed an unannounced game on the site. Back in February, the retailer listed Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 long before it was officially announced. Ditto Ratchet & Clank HD Collection.
Back in November, gamers started an online petition to bring Grand Theft Auto V to PC. The petition now has over 140,000 signatures. Could the petition have influenced Rockstar?

would you accept this color variation on YOUR cabinet??
Thoughts? Natural Cherry, didn't see this is in the showroom?
As palimpset noted it might be in spec, especially for many semi custom brands which don't usually even offer a select option. From the looks of the other drawer base that is what you are dealing with as that would not be in speck for a "select" grade.
Also it will darken and improve- somewhat.
That said, ask for a replacement anyway. If I were the KD, I'd try and get you a replacement. Some mfg's are more accomodating than others. If it is at the price point I suspect and they do replace it, you will likely only get one shot. No guarantee that it will be better.
Its not a variation in stain.
They are using sapwood to save money. Also you can see they are gluing up many staves to make one larger drawer front.
Its all about money. If you didn't specify First & Select (FAS) then they give you that.
Typically ( on a custom job )you cut out the sapwood and not even use the boards with mineral deposits ( the black lines ).
The sapwood wont darken so the difference will be more noticeable over time.
That's not bad for natural unupgraded cherry. It would have been aged in the showroom so the differences could have been less visible (cherry darkens over time).
Ask for replacements of course! Especially if the salesperson didn't explain the differences in grades. But you probably don't really have an actionable complaint so be super nice when you ask. :)
The drawer face over the cabinet door is the only one I'd have an issue with. Overall the grain is wonderful on those and I'd hate to replace them.
I believe that is something that should have been brought to your attention when you purchased your cabinets. The variation in cherry tends to be much more pronounced in a natural finish. This picture is of our almost finished natural cherry showroom display... Unless you went for a full custom hand matched cabinet what you have is completely normal... But I suspect it is not what you were expecting...
I would ask if they could replace the drawer face and the cabinet face. I think if you're very nice, the drawer face should be a no-brainer. I have natural cherry cabinets, I love them, even after 20 years. They will darken as they're exposed to light and look even more gorgeous!!!
But, definitely try to replace the drawer face. The manufacturer can do better.
Good luck!
If this drawer is the only one in the kitchen that has a piece of the lighter sapwood, I would definitely get it replaced. If you have streaks of it throughout the kitchen I would be inclined to keep it as I kind of like it. What you don't want is one spot, or even two, that scream Look! Look!
I think deep down,You already know the answer to your
The tough part here is getting what you want.
How cooperative is the cabinet maker? Or facility providing
you with the cabinets?
Cherry is beautiful but that beauty is the unique with
inconsistant colors. Notice in Cateskitchen that the wood
colors are not as obvious because of the elegant classic
detail she has on the cabinetry. The harmony of color works!
I wonder if you would be able to change this piece later
when you have everything put together. That way you can
see if it is going to work. If not, I would change it now.
Notice the variations of color on this below but the
multiple pieces of wood trim create harmony.
Yes, that's an acceptable amount of sapwood in 90% of all cabinet lines, unless premium cherry was specified and paid for. In some lines, specifying premium isn't necessary, as it's all they use. But you pay the premium non the less in the basic upcharge for cherry, or the line as a whole. In most cabinet lines, you will get a mix of heart and sapwood. The cheaper the line, the more sapwood you'll get. And the lighter the stain, the more noticeable that sapwood will be.
You are looking at things in isolation. Look at the whole picture. In any kitchen with cherry that has sapwood, it's the distribution of the sapwood around the kitchen that makes it "varied" rather than in your face concentrated in one area. You might first of all try switching out that drawer with another drawer that is the same size elsewhere in the kitchen.
And you can also ask for replacement. But, as previously mentioned, you aren't guaranteed to receive a "better" drawer, as what you have IS within the realm of an acceptable wood selection in most cabinet lines.
Thank you everybody for your input. These cabinets are Kraftmaid. I think they are beautiful. I spoke with the KD who put them together and showed her the picture, she wanted me to wait until all were in. They are in (another story) and there is a mark an inch long on one drawer that appears to be from the factory and that drawer is the only thing that stands out.
I have added another picture of them. I have another issue. I have posted in the remodeling forum and hope to get guidance there. The cabinets are from 1/4 to one inch from the ceiling. There is no plan for molding. Electrician s supposed to install under cab lights tomorrow, but I don't think I can live with these different heights.
That's your ceiling's issue, not a cabinet issue. You're ceiling isn't flat. That's kind of an it is what it is issue unless you want to have some drywall work done on the ceiling or reorder shorter cabinets and some molding---at your cost.
I personally wouldn't have taken the cabinets "to the ceiling", because that's what is making it noticeable. I'd have used 3" shorter cabinets and then done a simple solid stock scribed to the ceiling between the cabinets and ceiling. You would still have had a varied depth of distance on that solid stock, but it might have been less noticeable.
Thanks live wire oak.
Thoughts??? Can I bring the cabinets down and put molding on? I can't do it to the fridge or pantry cabinets which are both at the end of the kitchen run, but what about the others?
Or just have the cabinets that are 1/2 to inch away from the ceiling rehung that minimal measurement? My contractor is open to what I want to have done. Thanks for your input.
We have some sap wood and color variation in our natural cherry cabinets - the amount of sap wood (very pale colored) is pretty small. I think the color variation adds interest and texture and it doesn't bother me but I wouldn't want much more of the sap wood than we have.
This picture was taken when the cabinets are about 6 years old and you can see the sap wood in the upper left of the right panel on the island and a bit on the bottom right drawer. The non-sap wood cherry has darkened but the sap wood stays very light:
The light area on the drawer over the door in your first picture doesn't seem quite as light as the sap wood in our cabinets so that may be just a lighter piece of non-sap wood that will darken with the rest of your cherry.
Here is a closer look at the color variations in our drawer stack (taken when they were a few months old):
Here are our family room cabinets - they have less variation, perhaps more select cherry - but I think we paid for it in the cabinet price.
I think both looks are beautiful. The greater variation may age a bit better in a high use area like a kitchen - the more uniform, the more any little damage will show.
berlingirl, I replied on your other thread. We just have a small plain flat molding strip between the tops of our cabinets and the ceiling. On the run with the oven and over fridge cabinets, it's about an 3/4 inch because that matched the height of those floor to ceiling cabinets.
On the wall cabinet that's on the other leg of our L, it's about 1/2" because we wanted as much space as possible under that one in the baking area.
We don't notice the height variation with the gap filled in with material that matches the cabinet. It is more visible when you have nothing in the gap because of the differences in the shadows.
Sapwood does not darken appreciably, and the cabinet makers are trying to avoid buying decent grade wood and then trimming off the sapwood (even Firsts & Seconds can have sapwood).
they like to point out that 'sapwood is not a grading defect' as their lame excuse for wasting good cherry heartwood with crappy sapwood.
If a regular furniture maker tried such a stunt they would be out of business quickly.
It all comes back to money.
Decent wood is expensive, and the cabinet makers do not want to waste any scrap they purchased.
Labor costs are just excessive for skilled finishers that can dye sapwood to match heartwood.
While true, it still gets cut away and discarded in any decent wrk,
Standing alone like the first photo, the drawer bugs me, but not the cabinet door. Most wood has color variations. But when I saw that same unit in the whole kitchen, it didn't bother me at all.
So, to answer your question, no, it wouldn't bother me. In fact, I like the different wood tones, it gives texture and character.
I've been refinishing my ash cabinets and at first I thought I did something wrong because some of the doors had really light areas in them. I really like it, but I still thought I did something wrong. Then I looked at some of the old doors that are still the golden/orangey color, and they have color variations too, just not as noticeable since it's a lighter color.
Thanks all, the contractor ended up rehanging two of the cabinets so there is no variation and and will be using the molding from Kraftmade to finish off the top so there will be no shadows.
One drawer front will have to go back as it's glaring and another one arrived with what looks like glue dripped on it's front. It is stained and scarred a bit so it will have to go also. I am hopeful I won't have an issue with Kraftmaid Other than that, the cabinets are beautiful.

Hm. Can anyone confirm this happens for sure? On the Galaxy Nexus, people said the same thing but it turned out that if you just typed fastboot oem unlock without flashing any partitions that no data was actually erased. I just can't understand why unlocking would be linked to erasing.

There is once again cause for concern on the religious freedom front at the United Nations (UN). And this time, the United States is at the forefront of that concern. The issue is the most recent iteration of what used to be the Defamation of Religions resolution, and is now a resolution aimed at "condemning the stereotyping, negative profiling, and stigmatization of people based on their religion." As with so many UN initiatives, the goal sounds laudable, but the complications are in the details.
By way of background, the ACLJ has long been opposing an effort by the newly-named Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to essentially criminalize criticism of Islam (and in later iterations, all religions). This effort originated in 1999, and has undergone a number of substantive changes. Over the years, as the ACLJ and others have worked to educate member nations about the negative impact that this resolution has on religious minorities, support for the concept has dwindled dramatically. In fact, support has deteriorated so significantly that the OIC fundamentally altered its strategy this March at the Human Rights Council.
The new strategy abandons the concept of "defamation" (a hugely significant achievement for those of us advocating for individual religious freedom), but continues to call for a UN role in combating religious stereotyping and profiling. Because the language was substantively improved and more narrowly worded, this approach earned the support of the U.S. However, ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, while acknowledging the progress of the resolution's language, urged caution about how the resolution would be implemented around the world.
Fast forward to this week, and there are two new developments. First, the UN General Assembly also approved the new resolution on Monday. But more significantly, the U.S. State Department has just wrapped up a multi-day conference hosted by Secretary Hillary Clinton at which "implementation" of the resolution was on the agenda. In anticipation of these meetings, the ACLJ sent a letter to Secretary Clinton outlining our concerns about the negative impact that implementation of this resolution could have on religious minorities around the world.
The OIC had a prominent seat at the table for this conference, and while it is still too early to know the precise forms that "implementation" of this resolution will take, history suggests that it will not be pretty in many places. After 12 years of fighting for resolution language that was openly hostile to the proclamation of the Gospel, it is difficult to believe that a government like Iran will incorporate this mandate in a non-discriminatory way while continuing to pursue the death penalty for Christians like Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.
We remain encouraged by the progress we've been able to make on this resolution, but continue to call for great caution as nations with long histories of religious persecution begin to implement it. Many of these nations have not earned, nor do they deserve, our trust.

Very interesting post talking about the shipping industry. A big thing that I think about when I read this article is how this industry would be without the standardized shipping crates that is used now. Would be a lot harder to move goods on the scale that is done now.
This article also shows the effect of globalization on the world and how much of a part the shipping industry plays in the movement of goods all over the planet. Interesting to think about how the ships that move all of the goods operate, especially when it is run by just 13 people.
Interesting points about the safety on this ship because I feel like the shipping companies did not put a big emphasis on this before the pirate threat became as big as it today. Hopefully the safety of the crew continues to be an important factor in the design of this ships.

Insanity is another solid workout system that is offered by Beachbody Fitness. Over the past several years Beachbody has put together an impressive resume of hardcore and intense workout programs. P90X, ChaLEAN Extreme and Turbo Jam are just a few of the widely accepted workout systems that they have to offer. However, out of all of the programs that Beachbody offers the Insanity workouts stand out amongst its siblings as the most intense and challenging workout system available to date. Insanity is a 60-day workout program that was designed and created by fitness expert Shaun T. If the name sounds familiar it's probably because Shaun is also the creator of the Hip Hop Abs and Rockin Body workouts. The key to the insanity workouts is in the way that the program uniquely structures its interval training. Instead of using a traditional interval training model, Insanity uses a customized version that is called Max Interval Training. For those not familiar with interval training, it's basically a workout methodology that consist of short burst of high intensity followed by a longer periods of rest. The high intensity/ low intensity exercises are cycled throughout the workout shocking the body into better results. The Insanity torrent takes the traditional model for interval trainer and turns it around to where you perform longer durations of the "intense" workouts followed by shorter durations of "rest". The workouts are made up of three minute segments of high intensity movements followed only by a 30 second window for rest. As a result the infomercial promises that you can achieve a year's worth of results in only 60 days. Also, unlike some of the other workout programs available, the Insanity workouts do not require any special equipment or weights to perform the workouts. Instead Insanity uses your own body weight for the workouts. Just what do you get with your 10 Insanity Workout DVDs? Let's take a look. 1.) Dig Deeper; FitTest - Shaun T will put you to the test in this first workout. You will find out what shape you're really in! 2.) Plyometric Cardio Circuit - The athletic movements of an intense lower body plyometric workout combines with a fat burning cardio session. 3.) Cardio Power and Resistance - In this workout, you'll build lean muscle and definition in your upper body while increasing your cardiovascular capacity with some Insanity power moves. 4.) Cardio Recovery - Recovery sounds good, right? In this workout Shaun T eases up just a bit to let your body prepare for the upcoming challenges. Enjoy! 5.) Pure Cardio and Abs - It's a non-stop cardio workout that gives ample attention to developing those abdominal muscles. 6.) Cardio Abs - Intervals concentration on developing rock hard abs and increasing your cardio. 7.) Core Cardio and Balance - You enjoy a break after a month of Insanity workouts. Get ready to gear up after this easy day! 8.) Max Interval Circuit - Try THIS interval circuit. It will likely be the most intense interval training you've ever done. 9.) Max Interval Plyo - You'll really be pushing your legs and getting the maximum athletic ability from them. 10.) Max Cardio Conditioning and Abs - An extreme cardio workout that will push you to the limit.

What to do with tuberrose
I bought a tuberrose from a local nursery and want to know what to do with it over the winter. It is from Homestead Gardens and was told it is borderline hardy. Anyone have experiences with them?
I've grown tuberose in Vienna, VA for about 4yrs now. Mine have been dug up and will be spending the winter in the crawl space. The only plants I love enough to do this for year after year are tuberose and dahlias.
Although I have occasionally forgotten a dahlia or two and they have come up again next year just fine, I've never had that experience with tuberose. If they've had to winter over in the cold cold ground, they've just disappeared.
All of my warmer micro-climate spaces are occupied by camellias figs persimmons etc, so it's possible that I have places warm enough for them to winter over...if the winter is mild enough.... I'll be interested to see if anyone is able to leave them in the ground successfully.
Anything special I need to do like clean off dirt and store them the same way as a dahlia?
Just curious because whatever I do will need to be done before tonight as the temps are expected to drop.
Thanks---I was hoping I would not have to move them indoors as I already have about 20 other tropical plants I had to move in.
I think you need to keep them from freezing. I grow mine in pots, so just move the pots to the garage. Stop watering; they dry up and go dormant. They'll start to grow again by maybe around April or May. Increase water and move outdoors when whether is warm. I've never planted them in the ground. Do they do better in ground than in a pot?
Five years ago I bought 3 bulbs at the NC state fair and they have greatly multiplied, but only 2 have ever bloomed. I've dug them up to store in the basement and then also left them in the ground but nothing works. What might be wrong? I'm in Danville right on the southern border of VA.

There's an increasingly innovative selection when it comes to your mouse of choice and this example - the Adesso Browser Cat - takes traditional laptop touchpad configuration and puts it in a portable plug and play USB peripheral.
Offering a user experience akin to that of the Apple Magic Mouse (except it has buttons), the Browser Cat's left and right click functions can be activated by tapping designated areas of the pad, with the area for performing a right click shaded and textured differently.
Vertical scrolling is activated by a user gliding their finger along the specially marked edge of the touchpad, while holding the left button and a moving a finger across the pad enables the user to grab, drag and highlight. Horizontal scrolling is also possible and customizable features include sound, speed, sensitivity and orientation.
The Browser Cat is available from Adesso for US$39.99.
