need professional stump removal!
greentoe357August 14, 2014
The look of old spike stumps often bothers me, I have to say. They grow from waaaay deep in there in-between the leaves, and cutting one inevitably leaves an ugly dry stump sticking out like a sore thumb.
I was dividing this Miltonidium recently and cleaning up the dry dead stuff both above and bellow ground. The leaf covering this stump was dead, so that was out. Then I pulled on the stump and made this rip in the pseudobulb, and that looks like live tissue in there. The stump is gone, but now I have an increased risk of infection, so this can't be right.
So, how / where do you cut spent spikes to minimize the ugliness?

amazing magnets
Living Dream Save the Date Magnets I am extremely excited and happy with the outcome of my save the date magnets. I would definitely recommend this product not only because it was amazing but the shipping was super fast, only took 2 days to get to me after it was shipped. other than the magnets I loved the packaging that it was sent in. magnet Street definitely shows that they care about the produc they ship and the customer as well.
Very nice quality
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Magnets I am very happy with the quality of the images on the magnet and the magnet itself. It feels adequately heavy and my order came with free (upgraded) foiled envelopes in silver. These are cheaper than most other options on paper divas and other sites. I spent extra money to have this shipped 3-day. From the placed order to the delivery of the order, it took 11 days. I was hoping for a shorter turnaround. Overall, very happy!

I am appalled at the coaches of the baseball teams of the middle and high school in Tuscaloosa County. The team members all pay the same amount to play. Some of the potential good players are sitting on the bench all the time. They never get to play. It is not fair for them.

Yesterday, my homebrew club – Albany Brew Crafters – got to do something really cool: we brewed a barley wine at Rare Form Brewing Company in Troy. I've watched professional brewers make beer on their giant systems ("giant" compared to a 5-gallon homebrew setup, that is), but I've never actually partaken in the commercial brewing […] [Read More]

Mahabat Baimyrzaeva
What is it that you are most passionate about?
I am passionate about bringing the best in my students and help them realize their potential. I am also very curious how institutions – rules and their enforcement mechanisms that mediate relationships in society, organizations, and families – change, so that we can design institutions that are more conducive for more fulfilling lives.
What do you enjoy most about being a professor at MIIS?
I feel privileged to work with the many exceptional MIIS students who are pragmatic idealists - bright and courageous young people who understand the daunting challenges in building a better future globally, and yet remain optimistic and driven to make a positive contribution. These students inspire me to try harder and do my best to facilitate their learning and development.
Institution Building/Development, Institutional Change and Theory, Nation/State Building, Governance, Public Sector Reform, Administrative Reform, Corruption, Capacity Building/Development, Organizational Management and Development, Culture Analysis and Change, Policy Analysis, International and Global Policy, Applied Research Methods , Democratic Transition, Civic Engagement Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods, Regional expertise: Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, Post-Soviet Countries.
Recent Accomplishments
In 2012 published a single authored book "Institutional Reforms in Public Sector: What Did We Learn?"
This book is concerned with recurring failures in public sector institutional reforms promoted by international development agencies. It answers the following pressing questions in international development theory and practice: What does it take to design effective government institutions and sustain positive changes? What have we learned about the attempts to deliberately design and redesign public sector institutions in different countries? What works and what doesn't, and why? What happens when reforms fail? This book pushes the boundaries of existing theories on institutional change and draws insights for researchers and practitioners of institutional reforms by synthesizing lessons from past experiences and findings from multiple disciplines.
In 2012, Professor Baimyrzaeva designed and delivered Strategic Planning in the Context of Counter Terrorism Efforts an intensive half day session as part of the training " Strategic Level Small Craft Combating Terrorism", organized by Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School (NAVSCIATTS) for participants from anti-terrorism units from 14 different countries around the world in Stennis, Mississippi.
In 2011 and 2012, Professor Baimyrzaeva designed and delivered intensive trainings on policy analysis (in Russian) for government policy analysts and civil society representatives from various Central Asian states, by invitation from the OSCE Academy in Bishkek.
In spring 2011, Professor Baimyrzaeva coordinated the colloquium on Nation Building Colloquium which brought together leading experts specializing in various dimensions of nation building to weekly evening talks and social events with students.
Previous Work

PhD, Public Administration from University of Southern California (USC);

IPSS 8670 - High-ValueOrgCnsltingFieldWrk
Students who take IPSS 8530A workshop may submit deliverables in the first month of their internship for one additional credit. These deliverables will help students apply the tools they have learned in the IPSS 8530 workshop to better understand their host organizations.
Spring 2014 - MIIS
IPSS 8675 - IPSS Field Deliverables
During their IPSS internships students complete applied academic deliverables for which they earn six academic credits. The academic credit is not awarded for the internship itself, but for the work that applies students' academic training to contribute to their host organizations' mission in area of student's career interest. The letter grades will be assigned based on the assessment of the following four deliverables:
IPSS Field Project: By the end of their internships students must have completed an ambitious project or other relatively autonomous contribution that presents value for the host organization and builds on students' strengths and advances his/her skills and knowledge. The field project can take the form of a policy or consultancy report, evaluation, analysis, a website, or other substantive contribution to their host organization that integrates high quality research, analysis, and other skills and subject-matter knowledge. Faculty with relevant expertise and assigned peers will provide every student regular feedback on the major steps of the field project. Student's regular internship responsibilities ideally should overlap with, but are not limited to the core field assignment. The organizations receiving interns are encouraged to help students identify such assignments prior to their arrival or at the very latest within one month after the start of student's internship. The organization should provide assistance and guidance in completing this assignment.
Presentation: In the final part of the internship students will present on their field project to their colleagues at their host organizations. The video recording of that presentation will be then reviewed by the MIIS faculty who will invite students for Q&A and also provide additional feedback to students to improve the quality of their final deliverable(s).
Peer feedback: Interns will collaborate with their assigned peers by providing mutual peer feedback on their core field assignments to improve the quality of their work and learn from each other.
Final reflection: Interns will submit a final reflection to IPSS faculty and staff near the end of their internship- summarizing their most important insights and lessons they obtained from the internship experience for their professional and academic development.
Optional: Students are also highly encouraged to blog about their reflections on their internship experiences and comment on each others' blogs throughout the internship assignment to maximize their learning.

MPAG 8573 - PublicSector&SocialInnovation
Fall 2014 - MIIS
MPAG 8605 - Capstone:Rsch&Writing Proj-PA
The capstone requirement has two objectives. First, it enables you to acquire, demonstrate, integrate, reflect on, apply, and deepen competencies central to the MPA degree and to your future. Second, a capstone project prepares you for a position you hope to get upon graduation. Your capstone project is a public demonstration of your learning process here at MIIS: through it, you show your peers and faculty how far you have progressed. A public sharing of your work is required. How you do that is open for negotiation.
The capstone seminar helps you produce a deliverable which you are proud to submit to employers, working professionals in the field you wish to enter, and/or journals. Choice of capstone projects is limitless and students who perform best are those that creatively identify a project and product that is meaningful to them.
My role as seminar faculty is threefold. I am process guide; I am learning/support group facilitator; I am quality standard upholder. I am not content help. I am not responsible for reminding you of everything you have or should have learned in your classes here at MIIS. Capstone is your chance to interrogate yourself, to look deep to see what you have and have not learned, to revisit previous class contents and tools. You should expect no new content, as a result, apart from – perhaps – public speaking and presentation/argumentation competencies.
While we have a formal weekly meeting time, we will not use it every week. Our schedule of meetings will be established month-by-month.

Wolfgang Puck's stainless steel wok versus Cuisinart?
catherinetNovember 14, 2012
I ordered the Puck wok because it was a good price. Then I found a stainless steel Cuisinart wok even cheaper on Amazon.
Seems like most reviewers like Cuisinart alot, and some Puck owners love it, and some hate it.
Anyone here have any experience with the Puck wok? Unfortunately, they're both made in China. The Puck wok boasts having 0.7mm stainless steel, while Cusinart mentions being 18/10, so its hard to compare them.
If the Cusinart isn't that much different than the Puck one, I'll keep the Puck one, since I ordered it online and it arrived today.

Positive Quote from a Bumper Sticker
Kind words make good echoes.
Kind words make good echoes.
I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.
It's easy to have a great attitude when things are going our way…It's when difficult challenges rise before us…that attitude becomes the difference maker.
Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day.
At the core of every religion is the belief that we care for everyone....It's not too late to help a neighbor in need and to do it with the swiftness, expertise, generosity and love that resides in the best of who we are.
There's no such thing as a bad day—only bad moments in a good day.
I'm a 'what if' person. I have always felt that failure was a completely underrated experience. I have taken blows. I have had high moments. But I don't think the blows have ever hardened me. My enthusiasms are still big.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. More important, never tell yourself that.
…it's better to be a hopeful person than a cynical, grumpy one, because you have to live in the same world either way, and if you're hopeful, you have more fun.
I've always said the shoes must never tell the foot how big to be.
I laugh a lot. It's one of the most life-sustaining things you can do....I really think something healing happens when you have a gut-busting laugh.
Make a game of finding something positive in every situation. Ninety-five percent of your emotions are determined by how you interpret events.

The Malik Report
Red Wings go the 'no comment' route regarding Winter Classic
by George Malik on 01/12/12 at 09:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
In light of the Yahoo Sports and Annarbor.com reports that the University of Michigan has been asked whether it could allow the NHL to borrow Michigan Stadium for a Metro Detroit-based Winter Classic, the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan asked the Red Wings' ownership to comment on the situation, and he received a predictable response:
Mike Ilitch owns the Red Wings and the Tigers, making Comerica Park seemingly a logical destination for the game. But Red Wings officials had no comment on the matter Thursday.
John Dellapina, NHL vice-president of communications, said the league doesn't comment on Winter Classic sites until contracts are signed.
The league is expected to announce the site of the 2013 game before the Jan. 29 All-Star Game.
Wings senior vice-president Jimmy Devellano said in December that the Wings were on a "short list" of NHL cities being considered to host the game. He said then that possible venues had not been discussed with the NHL.
The Detroit Free Press's Michael Rosenberg also offered a ramble regarding the Winter Classic in Ann Arbor being paired with a Great Lakes Invitational at Comerica Park given that the NHL has no desire to hold two events at Michigan Stadium…
Update: The Fan 590's Greg Brady reports that the Red Wings want to host the event at Comerica Park because they'd receive both a cut of suite sales and want crowds to head to Cheli's Chili and the Hockeytown Cafe instead of everywhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor to eat and drink. Brady says that the fact that the NCAA would demand a cut of the NHL's pay-out to the Wings, and the fact that the NHL would have to receive a license to sell beer at the Big House, make things a little tricky.

many thanks Nut cheers ,raining in Norfolk
looking at the pollinator chart ,Steephill is correct, the trees need help to pollinate, after that the only other thing i can think of trying thats easy is Potash, give the trees a good dose of FBB and Potash,to promote flower and fruit
Hi Goldfinch, Car boot and charity shops, cant go wrong,although most charity shops now have forgot why they are there,
Hi Nut Can you expand on that r/hip wine you do as we get loads of big hips as there lining our outside of the garden and are a cracker of a rose ,id love to do something with them,also if i want to grow from seed do you let the hips dry out or straight from the hip of the bush cheers
Hi Rose, try this site from Garden guides.
Morning all, eres one for you Bob, iv looked at David Austins roses and they say the Alecs red ht is very resistant to blackspot, now i think the new ones might be but i think iv inherited an older one hence the massive blackspot, so heres the question ,can i graft a new type resistant climber onto mine as it sits beside an arch or will this change the original rose ,and i realize its a lot simpler to just buy a new one but not half as interesting, and the colour of this olden is just stunning and i like the challenge as you obviously do, Winds all night at 18mph one young fig snapped in half, central heating on a bit, and putting mi boots on to venture out ,I might be gone for some time many thanks for the info Bob
WOW bob that's really got me buzzin,and it looks like its not toooo difficult, what I need now is a rootstock for my Red Alecs HT black spotted poor rose, ,do I ask at my local G/C or have you any ideas for a good strong one to start with,and many thanks for that info both very interesting iv saved them, iv always been a grafter Bob seems in retirement its going to be the same ,raining erin Norfolk again
Hi Bob for someone who knows note about grafting how will it work and how do you graft one tree onto many, ours are all the same as yours and were thinking of getting rid of all of them, but i really would try to save them if poss,one is an Alecs red Hybrid T and the colour is a stunning deep red but black spot is just a mess. your grafting sounds interesting ,what will you actually do
Hi M.O.K, i was advised also apples under 3 years old were best summer pruned,hope this was right as i did my 4 new apples and a Gage in late July to miss the silver leaf spores due in is it Oct/Nov or was it Sept,Oct not too sure, good luck all, rain threatening in Norfolk
Hi all ,iv not long ago purchased from Gumtree a 1000 ltr dark blue ex grape extract butt just the job for water storage,i also got a ready made Hozelock twin conector made for these buts about £5 and im running 2 hoses off it ,the amount of water it holds allows me to use the hose pipes to reach all over the garden and water on a slow release type of thing, no more buckets, I was lucky to get the butt and delevery local for £30,but on line there about £50 And charge a lot to delver,but they are a godsend for water storage, i also use a drop of rapeseed oil on top of the water and a table spoon of Jeyes, pots of clematis ,Honeysuckle and a nice fig tree are now growing through the metal cage it comes in to camouflage it.and Smokings got 2 lucky devil, good luck all raining erein Norfolk

Will be visiting Memphis for 3 days in April and want a place with 2 rooms. Wanted to stay downtown but prices are high. Found a place in heart of Cooper and Young,close to restaurants, for half the price of downtown. 10 minutes to Beale St. Would downtown be worth the extra cost?

Do you know what you want to see and do in Memphis? If most of it is downtown then I would say it would be worth the extra costs to stay there. If you don't mind saying I am interested to know where you would be staying in the Cooper-Young area. I can't think of any hotel, bed or breakfast etc. there so just a bit concerned. Also, there are a few shops in that area but mostly restaurants and a couple of nice antique shops. The Peabody Hotel would be a nice centrally located hotel downtown with Beale Street a couple of blocks away.

Thanks violetduck.
Its a small house I found on airbnb. Not quite sure of exact address yet but had good reviews for the neighborhood.
Report Abuse
There's a Holiday Inn across the street from the Peabody that's usually lower-priced. In my opinion, it would be worth the extra money to be downtown, because that way most things you want to do would be in walking distance.
Report Abuse
The Talbot Heirs Guest House is right across the street from the Peabody and has apartments for the cost of a hotel room. We loved staying there.
Report Abuse
When in April will you be visiting?
Report Abuse
I agree that the Holiday Inn or Talbot Heirs would be good also. There is a Westin, probably also pricey, and more likely to be noisy. The Hampton Inn Peabody Place is good location but likely to be noisy also. If I did not stay at the Peabody my choice would be Talbot Heirs. I am sorry I feel I need to say this but I would not stay in the Cooper-Young area especially with someone you do not know personally. The area has had quite a bit of crime in the last couple of years, certainly mostly home burglaries and breaking into cars, but just think you would be much safer in the downtown area. There is the River Inn of Harbor Town which is a 28 room Boutique hotel across the bridge(not the big bridge that crosses the river) but small one by the Pyramid that is very nice but would require a car. A drive over to Harbor Town while you are downtown and a walk along the river would be nice. There is a sidewalk so an easy scenic walk. I hope you find the perfect place to stay and have a good trip.

We loved Talbot Heirs. http://www.talbotheirs.com/ It was very convenient to everything, we had a small kitchen, we had a small sitting room, the guy that helped us (can't remember his name) was super and gave us great advice. Very clean and comfortable.

We'll be visiting in late April.
Thank you all for your kind advice! Exactly what I wanted to know.

We have stayed at the Residence Inn Downtown. The rates may be higher than you want to spend. Some friends stayed at the link below through VRBO and they loved it. There are a few other options on that site as well.

Of course, it would help to know your dates and your budget, but I will say that my daughter stayed at the Comfort Inn Downtown in Memphis last November and found it to be a great choice. They were near all the sights around Beale Street; the hotel was not fancy, but clean and nice; the parking rate was cheap for downtown; and the room rate was a real bargain. The reviews on Trip Advisor are excellent, so you might want to see if it will fit in your budget.

Avocado tree ID help
kevindefossetJuly 28, 2012
Greetings! New to the forum and curious if anyone can help ID a type of avocado tree from the attached image. We just moved into a rental house in southern Broward Co. and the owner is unsure of the type. The diameter of the fruit is 3+ inches. I don't know if we have the timing incorrect but so far the taste is not what we were hoping. Any help would be appreciated.
Take care

49ers' Aldon Smith receives nine-game suspension from NFL
Aldon Smith and the 49ers on Friday received the news they'd been bracing for since last year: The team's star outside linebacker has been suspended for nine games without pay this season for his long list of legal run-ins. Smith is eligible to return to the playing field Nov. 10, one day after the 49ers' game at New Orleans.
The National Football League Players Association negotiated on Smith's behalf, and as a result, he will be allowed to be on hand at the team facility, something the 49ers and general manager Trent Baalke, who has become close to Smith, hoped would be the case. Smith can train at the facility and attend meetings but not practice with teammates or appeal the ruling.
A statement from the NFLPA said: "On Aldon's behalf, the NFLPA worked with the NFL to craft disciplinary terms that reflect Aldon's desire to take responsibility for past mistakes and show his commitment to being a dedicated professional by going to work every day to study with his coaches and teammates and train at the facility. The terms of the discipline reflect his desire to show his teammates, employer and fans that he has made real changes to his life since the difficult incidents that are the basis for the NFL's discipline."
That discipline was handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who met with Smith on Aug. 7 at the league's headquarters in New York. In a brief news release, the league said Smith was punished for violating its substance abuse and personal conduct policies.
Smith, 24, missed five games last season after entering an alcohol rehabilitation center. That followed a September DUI arrest when his pickup truck came to an abrupt halt in the front yard of a San Jose home. A month later, Goodell said the rehab stint would be considered when doling out punishment.
"The issue here is not to discipline players," Goodell said at the time. "The issue here is to stop the behavior. And Aldon, to your point, has voluntarily said, 'I need help.' We are obviously there to support him, and the 49ers did a great job getting him into a facility to try to get that help. And so we all support that. So, yes, it will be a factor, for sure."
The DUI arrest was the second in 11/2 years for Smith, who was pulled over in Miami Beach after his rookie season. Those charges later were reduced to reckless driving. A police spokeswoman also said Smith was suspected to have been drinking in April when he was arrested for allegedly making a bomb threat at Los Angeles International Airport. Smith's blood-alcohol content was never tested, however, and the bomb-threat charge was dropped.
Smith has said he's been sober since going to the alcohol rehabilitation facility in September. The suspension also is punishment for gun charges that were filed against Smith in connection to an out-of-control party at his home in June 2012. Smith received superficial stab wounds while trying to break up the party. Sheriff's deputies found semiautomatic rifles, purchased legally in Arizona but not registered in California or modified to adhere to state laws, in his bedroom.
The 49ers have known Smith would be suspended but had been unsure about the duration.
"Our organization has known this decision would come, and we have prepared for it," Baalke said in a statement. "Aldon has taken responsibility for his actions and has continued to show growth personally and professionally. We will continue to support him, but it is time to put this matter behind us and focus on the season ahead."
Smith was the seventh overall pick in the 2011 draft and quickly became the most promising pass rusher in franchise history. He set a 49ers rookie record for sacks in a season with 14. The following year, he flirted with the NFL season sack record, ending with 191/2. That beat Hall of Famer Fred Dean's team record, set in 1983, by two sacks.
Smith has said he feels better this preseason than in the previous three, and that sharpness has shown on the practice field. Smith has been virtually unblockable in drills, and he's received praise from everyone from left offensive tackle Joe Staley to Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
The 49ers have expected a suspension for months and are better prepared for Smith's absence than they were last season. They are expected to platoon backups Dan Skuta and Corey Lemonier at Smith's right outside linebacker spot. Rookie Aaron Lynch also is likely to be available at the position.
Skuta and Lemonier filled in last year, and the 49ers went 5-0 during Smith's absence.
"At this point, really, it's not that tough because everybody's getting a lot of reps," defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said of replacing Smith. "If it was in the middle of the season and it happened without much of a warning, it might be a little tougher. But that's the way it happened last year. Guys just have to be ready to play."
The 49ers also will be without their best defensive player from 2013, linebacker NaVorro Bowman, while he continues to recover from a January ACL tear. Bowman is expected back at midseason. Smith is due back in time for a late-season stretch that includes both games against division rival Seattle.

Great work, so good. Loved it.
However, being able to fast forward/rewind/pause/play like a Youtube video would've been good. That's the only good thing about Rebecca Black's YouTube version. ;) Haha.
But yeah, keep up the good work. :D
Oh yes
I need an MP3 for this.
First Bob Dylan and Jessica Black song i've ever liked.
I was trippin on about 5 drops of acid when this Bob Dylan was singing this. I swear for the love of everything holy, that man sounded like a 13 year old girl that had a robots voice! I couldn't sleep the entire concert cause I thought that this bob dylan girl was gonna get me.
Big smile on my face the whole way through this, great work. Deffo better than the original, but then again that wouldn't be too difficult.
Very nicely done
Hilarious how you almost made this song sound good. The first time I watched this, somehow I didn't notice the little tongue thing when he did it. Very nice with that, too. It makes the song have some kind of appeal that I don't know, but it just makes it almost magical.

> any remedies for atrophic vaginitis due to breastfeeding?
Maybe some of you have dealt with this as well. I had a bacterial infection while pregnant and was treated for it, but every since my son was born I still feel like I either had a yeast or bacterial infection still. Went to doc today and it's atrophic vaginitis, which is basically a lack of estrogen in my system due to breastfeeding.
It causes the vaginal tissue to become irritated and has all the symptoms of a yeast infection. They gave me a prescription for a cream to use for 6 weeks and I was concerned about the effects of estrogen affecting my milk supply.
Just seeing if anyone may know some natural remedies. I hear increasing uptake of soy products could help. Nurse told me that until I start my period the problem won't go away, so don't know if I can wait that long.
Well, I never got anything officially diagonosed, and I assumed I was having yeast type infections. I have been taking a daily tablespoon dose of acidophilus culture and I have not had any problems since.
I had the same thing...
How far post partum are you? I'd like to go into all the details with you, because I think my dr handle it really well, but I'd rather not go into all the gory details in public.
PM me if you want them. But here's a basic non-gory summary... My nurse practitioner--whose opinion I respect--wanted me to not have it treated with the estrogen cream until I was at least a month into solids for ds (so he was 7 mo before I saw an ob/gyn about it). Part of this was to see if I would get more estrogen naturally (by ds spacing out his feedings and maybe nursing a bit less, etc.), part of it was to make sure I had a really good milk supply before trying the estrogen.
The long and the short of the dr appt was that he told me to use no more than a pea sized amount vaginally every day for a week, and then every other day for a week, and to see from there. Doing this didn't help a lot, but then I took a week off and repeated the above, and everything is much, much better.
I still haven't gotten my period though. I'm vegan and eat a lot of soy, too.
I don't want to worry you, but I think the amount of cream my dr prescribed was more reasonable than a 6 week daily applicator-full.
PM me.

Got quoted for Diamond cabinets, not Dynasty/Omega.....questions
For my Dynasty/Omega cabinets, my original salesperson got fired and the new one has been very nice. He was very excited and said that he saved me a ton of money. The new quote was significantly lower than my original one....but I just figured out that he switched the brand the Diamond instead of the Dynasty/Omega. No damage done because the order isn't placed yet. I have no familiarity with this brand, and I can't find much online. Is this a brand I should consider? Or make the investment and get the higher quality brand? I want to make a smart decision. Thank you!
Good point. To give him the benefit of the doubt, I told him I was looking for ways to save money on the quote. It seems like he was trying to be helpful, but I wish he would have been more explicit on the brand change.
I am open to Diamond if it is a good quality, so I would love any feedback from those who know about that brand.
If you told him you wanted to decrease the quote, he DID listen to you. Going down a line is a perfectly valid way of doing just that.
Diamond a decent mid grade line, but it's not as high a quality as Dynasty. (Be sure you're not being quoted "Vibe" by Diamond. It's totally not in the same ballpark.) You need to compare the specs, and more importantly, compare the finishes. If you want a simple door style that is "the same", decide if the more options slightly better hardware cost/benefit is worth it to you.
I have Diamond cabinets and posted my thoughts on them in another recent thread ...
"I used Diamond cabinets in my kitchen. Mine are shaker style in cherry, all plywood construction, solid wood doors. Since I don't have a painted finish, I can't comment on that, but I can say that I am very happy with the finish on my cabinets (light cherry). I have a total of 18 boxes including a tall pantry, and all of them arrived in perfect shape. No issues with the finish, no dings, dents, warped doors, etc. One drawer had a problem where it didn't shut all the way on its own with the soft close feature, and they sent me new glides. That is the only problem I had. I did order them from an independent dealer, not Home Depot or Lowes, and I think the service was better than what I would have got from the big box stores.
My sister used Diamond in a white finish in her kitchen and she was very happy with them as well.
Another used Thomasville in a painted/glazed finish, which are pretty much the same as Diamond except the backs are bit thinner, and she was very happy with hers, too.
All of these are recent installs, within the last two years."
Thank you both for that feedback. I am going with the most simple Shaker style door.
So it sounds like the main differences are the hardware and the "options". Is the painted factory finish the same as Dynasty/Omega? Is the limited lifetime warranty the same?
Back in 2004 Consumer Reports rated Diamond very highly (#3) - link attached.
Would love to know if they are still as good. Am considering them, Fieldstone & Shiloh.
Here is a link that might be useful: Consumer Reports - kitchen cabinets
I've had my cabinets for about a year-and-a-half and I've been very pleased with them. I'm not comparing them to anything else, though, so I can't say if they are better or worse than another brand. I did get all the upgrades as far as construction goes. I haven't found anything wrong with them, construction-wise or finish-wise, and I'm fairly critical. They look great and everything works as it should. I've had absolutely no regrets with my choice.
rebecca, I don't know if the warranty is the same as any other brand but I imagine you would be able to compare warranties on the various brand websites. I have a stained rather than a painted finish, but I can say that I am extremely pleased with the finish ... they all look flawless.
Hi rebecca3142,
I have never posted on this forum before, but thought I would throw in my .02
I am a KD in NH, and sell primarily Masterbrand products, including Diamond and Decora (same as Dynasty, I believe)
I can understand your KD quoting you the Diamonds, if budget was a concern.
We sell a lot of Diamonds, and have very few issues, when we do, Masterbrand has always stood behind their products 100%, by far the best customer service of any cabinet line that I have dealt with.
The biggest difference between the two lines are going to be available options(not that Diamond doesn't have plenty) such as the ability to alter widths, finished bottoms, custom size asymmetrical corners,ability to create custom cabinets from our drawings and specs. just to name a few.
If your kitchen is fairly straightforward, then the Diamond would perform just fine.
Does your KD have a showroom, where you can check out the cabinet samples.
Here is a link to their website http://www.diamondcabinets.com/
And another to the Diamond warranty page http://www.diamondcabinets.com/get-started/love-your-space/warranty
I hope some of this helps, I am happy to answer any questions you might have.
I think the point was that the salesman did not tell her that he changed the cabinetry line. She shouldn't have to discover that for herself. That is a huge disconnect in communication and I don't understand what the reason is not to advise the customer.
If the Dynasty is a higher quality line, it was a huge understatement and lack of communication not to mention it to the customer. Finding out on installation day would not be a good thing, after having researched and liking the other line and feeling comfortable with her choice. When I was looking at cabinets, the look of one line/brand to another was like night and day and very important to me. I would not want someone changing my selection like that. Would much rather cut other things. That's just crazy, imo, and why people end up with conflicts after the fact.
She had already communicated she wanted Dynasty/Omega. I wouldn't want those changes in decisions being made without my knowledge either and would probably be looking elsewhere too. Customer's house and money. The decisions are theirs only.
I agree, the conversation should of taken place before a new quote was prepared.
I was only trying to shed a little light on the difference in cabinet lines, not defending the KD, though no harm in getting some comparison pricing.
Hi Wayne - thank you for the information! I really appreciate your feedback. Can you finish the ends of the cabinets and the back of an island to look like the door style?
Just to clarify, on the new quote my salesman did write Diamond. I just didn't know what that meant - I thought maybe it was a door style. When I started to ask questions about a $500 promotion for Dynasty/Omega was when he explicitly said that Diamond was a different brand. I don't think he was trying to be misleading on purpose, but I do think an explanation about the brand change prior to the quote would have been better. I probably would have been pretty upset to find out on installation day, just because I like to research everything to the nth degree.
I have Dynasty and love them. My friend has Diamond (natural maple, slab doors) and is very happy with them. If there's not a huge price difference I might be tempted to get Dynasty, but I think you would be just as happy with Diamond. I would look at samples of both before deciding.
I moved into a house this fall and it has Diamond cabinets (I'm guessing builder grade or a slight step up). They're OK but not great. They feel flimsy and the hardware seems weak. I came from a kitchen with Cookshire Cabinets and they seemed much more substantial. This kitchen is 10 years old and handled a family of 6 so it has that going for it but my old kitchen was 9 years old and handled a family of 5 so there's not much difference there.
Hi Rebecca,
I just want to say I am not here to sway your decision in any way from one cabinet line to another, I will just pass on what I know about the two, and let you decide what is best for you.
As snookums pointed out "Customer's house and money. The decisions are theirs only".
Short answer is yes, you can finish the ends and back to match your cabinetry.
First off, if you decide to pursue the idea of Diamond, make sure your KD is quoting you Diamond Distinctions, in APC (all plywood construction) and not Diamond Vibes, as someone else mentioned.
The APC replaces standard cabinet construction with unfinished 1/2â³ plywood ends, top, bottom, and 3/8â³ back. Upgrades shelves to 3/4â³ finished plywood.
5% Up-charge(I consider this a no brainier, and my customers almost always want the APC) This will give you the same box construction as the higher end cabinet line.
Finished ends are accomplished several ways.
1- Finished Ends
Creates a matching finished 1/2â³ plywood exterior end.
2-Furniture Finished Plywood Ends
Replaces standard cabinet ends with 3/4â³ finished end panels to achieve a Furniture End appearance.
3-Authentic Ends
Modifies cabinet end panel with applied decorative door.
I use this one the most. Sounds like what you were looking for.
4- Face Frame and Door on End
Creates a working door on the end of the specified cabinet.
Finishing the backs of islands is one place the two cabinet lines are going to differ, the higher end offers face frame, and matching door panels by the SF built to any configuration and size.
The Diamonds don't, but can be done by applying a matching cabinet skin and moldings, then apply what we refer to as "loose doors" . This is one of those many details that needs to be well planned, so as to order the correct size "loose doors"as well as the right skin and moldings.
Hope this helps
