Q Is it true that there's something in turkey that makes a person sleepy? If so, what is it?
Q Is it true that there's something in turkey that makes a person sleepy? If so, what is it?
A If eating turkey makes you sleepy, then Swiss cheese will make you sleepier. That's because the essential amino acid tryptophan, said to cause sleepiness, is found in turkey, but also in other protein foods -- sometimes in larger amounts. For example:
100 grams of roasted turkey contain 0.333 grams of tryptophan.
100 grams of Swiss cheese contain 0.401 grams of tryptophan.
100 grams of roasted pork loin contain 0.341 grams of tryptophan.
Tryptophan is used to produce the B-vitamin niacin, which, in turn, is used to produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that exerts a calming effect and regulates sleep.
But the sleepiness effect is a little more complicated than that.
While turkey often is blamed for making people sleepy after the Thanksgiving feast, it is actually the carbohydrate-rich (not protein-rich) meal that increases the level of tryptophan and leads to serotonin synthesis.
Carbohydrates stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin. Some amino acids that compete with tryptophan leave the bloodstream and enter muscle cells. This causes an increase in the relative concentration of tryptophan in the bloodstream. Serotonin is synthesized and the familiar sleepy feeling is the result.
In addition, a large holiday meal usually includes alcohol (which is a central nervous system depressant), overeating and a higher level of fatty foods (all of which require a lot of energy to digest). Each of these factors contributes to after-dinner fatigue.
So it's the unusually large, multicourse, carbohydrate-rich meal typically eaten on Thanksgiving that contributes to the familiar drowsiness. After all, on any other day, one does not get sleepy after eating a turkey sandwich.
Happy Meal giveaways
Q I have a great big bag of toys from McDonald's Happy Meals. Can these be donated? Are they safe?
A Consider donating them to shelters or elementary schools where teachers can use them as "prizes." For more ideas close to your home, call United Way by dialing 211.
Be aware that some of the toys may have collector value. Check online auction sites such as eBay or stores in your area that sell antiques and collectibles.
The toys are safe, according to a McDonald's fact sheet. They are made exclusively for McDonald's and are tested rigorously throughout the design and manufacturing process. Manufacturers do not use lead-based paint, a company policy for 20 years, according to McDonald's. Remember, however, that toys should go to children of appropriate age. In other words, no toys with small parts for children under age 3.

Trailing Coleus
pamelagrace(7b Raleigh NC)April 13, 2012
Does anyone use trailing Coleus in their planters?
Just wondering about Rosy Dawn's shipping costs. Their prices seem reasonable but I'd have to go thru the checkout to get s&h costs tallied up. Any input would be appreciated.
I generally prefer to buy plants locally if at all possible but I am not having any luck in my area (south shore of Long Island) finding trailing coleus. Maybe it is too early for these plants yet. We have had a chilly Spring here so far.
Happy Gardening!

"I don't normally leave reviews, but I was so happy with these invites that I wanted to share my thoughts. The customer service was exceptional, the turn around rate for edits was fast and they arrived promptly. I had looked through hundreds of invites and searched several sites, but kept coming back to Wedding Paper Divas. Their prices were competitive and the invites are of strong beautiful quality. We needed clear wording with a delicate touch and these invites came through! I'm looking forward to mailing these out soon!!"
"Everything about this invitation was beautiful! The colors (I choose the blue and green) were perfect and had a watercolored appearance. The quality of the paper was much better than I expected as was the lettering and customer service."
"This is a great option for established couples making a public commitment. It feels very modern and fresh, but the paper and color give it a laid-back feel. It's a paper blend, so it comes out more grey and textured than a clean white card. The back detail is optional, but I would go for it!"
"The card came in sooner than expected. It was perfect , the quality was amazing and you can't beat the price! I will definitely purchase in the future and highly recommend ."
"Absolutely love this card. I used the matte paper and put them in black envelopments. It's got a very classy/chic feeling to it. The paper quality is great as well. Very pleased with my purchase."

X Server Security Disaster: "It's Worse Than It Looks"
Published on 31 December 2013 03:46 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
21 Comments
X.Org Server security vulnerabilities
-- even for
vulnerabilities going back two decades
-- from time to time and in related components of the Linux graphics stack. Parts of the X.Org stack can be in fairly rough shape given the age of X11, but a very poor picture of it was painted at the Chaos Communication Congress. It was stated that the X.Org security is even worse than it looks.
At the 30th Chaos Communication Congress (CCC) last week in Germany, Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher who previously reported X.Org vulnerabilities, gave a presentation. Covered in the presentation at the very well known CCC conference in Germany were client-side issues and then an entire half of the presentation devoted to the X.Org Server.
Among the quotes used were "GLX is a horrible demotivator! 80,000 lines of sheer terror." and "In the past couple of months I've found 120 bugs there, and I'm not close to done."
Those wanting to read more about the troubled state of the X.Org Server security can watch the CCC presentation video from
the CCC.de web-site
For those thinking its FUD or blown out of proportion, Oracle's Alan Coopersmith who has long been involved with X11/X.Org, was the one that originally shared this presentation on
the xorg-devel list
Alan added on the mailing list, "I think it's mostly accurate (there's a couple minor details to quibble with, and there's a bit about 10-15 minutes in everyone can fast forward through). His point about today's world being much different than when X was created, and nearly 30 year old hand written binary protocol parsing code not being the best idea, is much like the rationale for xcb's creation, but we've not been effective at getting transitioned to it. (We keep talking about using XCB to generate server-side protocol handling & byte swapping, but never have, and haven't made it possible for all the clients to move to XCB, since there's still a couple missing pieces.)"
Thankfully some of the issues should be addressed in moving to Wayland (or Mir). There's also ongoing bug-fixes and addressing of security issues in X.Org Server updates -- just last week
X.Org Server 1.15 was released

The Kulavivaksha Vyatireka Porata Samithi (KVPS) and several other organisations on Monday took out a procession and staged a demonstration at the foot of Indrakeeladri demanding scrapping of GO 1060 that makes it mandatory to employ only Brahmins in temple kitchens to prepare prasadam.
Along with activists of the KVPS, those of Dalit Sena, Dravida Satta, Mala Mahanadu, MRPS, Rajaka Vruththidarula Sangham, AP Girijana Sangham and a few other organisations participated in the protest programme.
In the light of a recent controversy in the temple of goddess Kanakadurga atop Indrakeeladri, where the executive officer had to rescind his decision to enforce GO 1060 after the kitchen staff protested the termination of their services, the KVPS demanded that the GO should be completely scrapped, lest other temples would try to enforce this "highly discriminatory" order. If the GO was scrapped by April 14, it would be a fitting tribute to B.R. Ambedkar, whose birth anniversary falls on that day.
KVPS city secretary G. Nataraj and others pointed out that workers belonging to several backward communities and depressed classes were working in the kitchens of some of the major temples in the State.
The argument that only a particular community could ensure hygiene and cleanliness in the preparation of prasadam was derogatory, they said.

Red Wings evening news: Zetterberg, Ericsson unlikely to return for 1st round; multimedia galore
by George Malik on 04/17/14 at 10:52 PM ET
Comments (7)
Updated 3x at 12:24 AM: Well if there's one thing I do well, it's being sick, so I'd like to thank Paul for keeping TMR running while I had a delightful little three-day break (that last part's a lie, but you get my drift).
Anyway, quite a bit of Red Wings news came down while I was absent, so while I'm not going to be able to catch up with all the oodles of Wings-Bruins set-up stuff, I can try and get you caught up with the Zetterberg news (and a short prospect catch-up post is in the pipeline).
As Paul noted, Henrik Zetterberg did skate with the Red Wings at today's practice, but Zetterberg was quite insistent that his chances of returning for the first round of the playoffs are slim to nil.
Fox 2 posited a video report of Zetterberg taking to the ice...

... Lucky Fans Who Use the Instagram Hashtag #OctopiHockeytown Will Appear on Metro Detroit Digital Billboards …
DETROIT – The Detroit Red Wings announced today the return of the 'Octopi Hockeytown' playoff campaign to encourage fans to connect and cheer on the Red Wings as the team embarks on its historic 23rd straight playoff run.

This Is Jimmy Howard

Comments (3)
from Kevin Woodley at NHL.com,
When he's on -- It looks like Howard is gliding over top of the ice. He makes it look effortless but powerful, beating the play on his skates without retreating too far into his crease, locking in low and wide as the puck-carrier gets closer without committing to his knees too soon, and keeping his hands pressed forward and active.
When he's off -- The backward flow that is inevitable anytime a goalie starts as aggressively as Howard off the rush creeps into his game in other situations. He retreats too quickly and loses angle on rush chances, or shrinks back into the blue ice in traffic on end-zone play, dropping his hands and sliding into shots, playing down to his 6-foot size by exposing the top of the net and opening holes.
much more including an interest goal chart on where Howard is scored on plus a look at Boston goaltender Tuukka Rask...

Coach Claude On Playing The Wings

from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,
Julien was asked about holding too much respect for the Wings headed into their playoff series and he mentioned the "underdog card" he thinks Detroit is playing given some of their injuries.
"I don't believe in never respecting your opponent," Julien said. "They're in the playoffs because they're a good team, and that's the respect that you give them. But that doesn't mean you play on your heels or at the end of your stick because you have respect for them. It just means you have to be ready. I think it's pretty obvious to us that they want to play the underdog card, which is not surprising. We just have to go out there and not care about what they say.
"We're not letting them fool us with that underdog card and that they don't have the players. We'll just go out there and play our game. I know he's got players, and he's got players that have done extremely well for him. The guy that right now is a question mark for them is [Henrik] Zetterberg, but other than that those young players have done a good job even if the [Dan] Clearys and the [Todd] Bertuzzis are question marks in the lineup. They've got a pretty good lineup with a lot of choices. That's how I look at it."

Franzen: Even if I'm not scoring that's not what I'm doing for this team. It's not why I go out and play games to score goals.
Franzen: I've got a lot of things to do before that. It's not even fifth on the list, probably, when you go out to a game.

"The Kids Have Played Well"

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
"Sometimes when you put kids in and they aren't ready it turns out to be bad for the team and you start to lose your confidence as an athlete and you have to go backwards to regain that confidence," general manager Ken Holland said. "Fortunately, the kids have played well. That's not a concern for me."
Said center Darren Helm: "The young guys add a big element to the team -- excitement, energy -- gets everybody going. They're going to be important guys in the playoffs."
This is the youngest team the Red Wings have taken into the playoffs in a long time. Youth brings fresh legs and speed. That will be important against the big, physical, veteran-laden Bruins.
"All those kids just love to play hockey, they're just having fun," Red Wings forward Johan Franzen said. "They want the puck, they're skating good and they're strong on the puck.
"I think they're ready for the playoffs. They've been playing great for us. It's going to be fun to see what they can bring."

from Ansar Khan of Mlive,
"It was a lot of specialty teams today, that was our plan," Babcock said. "We knew coming in we were going to grind yesterday and do a lot of team stuff and then the heavy lifting yesterday, the specialty teams today, and we'll have a little more tempo and special teams tomorrow."
He's glad the series starts later the other seven first-round matchups.
"We needed the time, we need to freshen up some people," Babcock said. "We had ground hard to get in. When (the Bruins) were in here (April 2) they gave guys days off and we couldn't give anybody days off.
"The other thing about it is when you're the lower seed, the more detailed you can be, the better off you can be. And so preparation time has been great for us. Ideally it will be an equalizer and give us an opportunity to really compete."
from Chuck Pleiness of Red Wings Front,
Jonathan Ericsson will skate on his own Thursday for the first time since having successful surgery to stabilize his fractured finger and repair a partially torn tendon on March 19.
"We'll see how that goes," Ericsson said. "It's been almost four weeks now."
He still won't be able to handle the puck due to the splint on his left hand.
"I think it's too early to tell," Ericsson said when asked if he could return sometime in the first round of the playoffs.

Cheryl Cole to make US TV debut on Glee
It appears that Cheryl Cole has been bitten by the acting bug following her brief appearance in the movie What To Expect When Your Expecting.
Cheryl Cole To Make US TV Debut On Glee
Glee star Jane Lynch has confirmed that the Geordie popstar will be making a cameo in an upcoming episode of the US hit musical show.
The Call My Name singer will be joining the ranks of Gwyneth Paltrow and Ricky Martin, both of whom have proved to be very popular guest stars on Glee, with Gwyneth even winning an Emmy for her role as substitute teacher Holly Holliday.
Strangely enough, Glee star Matthew Morrison was one of the stars of What To Expect When Your Expecting and is also a fan of Cheryl's, and according to co-star Jane it appears that he had a hand in getting Cheryl on board with Glee creator Ryan Murphy.
Jane, who plays arch-villain Sue Sylvester on the show, told the Daily Star: "There's been talk on set of Cheryl appearing for a year or so, but it's set to happen now.
"Matthew Morrison has spoken very highly of her and the younger guys on set are keen to have her on, for obvious reasons. Matthew's chatted to her and she seems keen.
"Cheryl's the perfect Glee fit, she can sing, she can dance and she looks good. It would be cool if she played herself."

Dear Members,
WebMD exchanges are a wonderful place where members find friendship, support, insight and share ideas. However, there are occasions when a post that is made violates WebMD's Terms and Conditions .
While using our boards you may come across a flame war (a series of insulting posts) or simply a disruptor (called a "troll" in internet-speak because they "troll" message boards or chat-rooms simply to cause trouble) or someone trying to sell their products, and the list goes on. None of these behaviors are allowed at WebMD, and if any of these things appear on our boards, we want to know about it right away. We rely on our members to help WebMD maintain a safe and comfortable environment where everyone feels at home.
Here are some of the other T&C violations you will want to report:
- Spam
- Advertising
- Personal Attacks (disagreement is NOT an attack)
- Copyright Infringement
- Inappropriate Member Nicknames
- Use of inappropriate slang and/or masked/veiled profanity
- Members discussing their personal physicians by name
- Members who identify themselves as under 13 year of age
- Too much personally identifying information (phone numbers, home addresses, etc)
- Posts containing links to inappropriate sites (pornography, etc.)
- Posts which are nothing more than erotica or soliciting cyber sex.
- Someone planning suicide and needs our help
The best way to handle any such problem on our exchanges is to not reply. Instead, you can help your community by alerting the WebMD Community Moderator staff. We've recently added a wonderful, new tool which allows members to send alerts simply by clicking on the "Report This link found below each post. You even have the opportunity to explain why you are reporting something. The moderator staff will receive that report and will review the post to determine whether or not it violates the WebMD Terms and Conditions or if the person needs crisis intervention. If the message is in violation of our rules, it will be removed along with any replies.
Please keep in mind that you should only report posts that you feel are violations of WebMD's Terms and Condition. Do not report posts simply because you disagree with the information contained within another member's post. Misuse of this tool is detectable.
Thank you for helping WebMD message boards stay on track. It really does "take a village," and we appreciate everyone who helps us to keep our communities a great place to gather together in our quest to stay happy and healthy.
Yours in Health,
The WebMD Health Exchange StaffView Thread
We are thrilled to share with you some changes that have been made to WebMD Health Exchange due to some of the wonderful feedback you all have given us.
First of all, you'll notice that we've changed the top of the What's Happening Now page so that See All Discussions, Tips, and Resources are right at your fingertips. These links will take you to our index pages, which read much more like our old message boards. We've also made our posting button at the top larger, and it drops down so you can choose which type of content you want to post.
You'll also notice that we've added some more spacing to the posts themselves, making them less bunched up and easier to read.
AND, we've increased the posts per page from 15 to 30.
Along with that, you'll see that now when you respond to another member's post, it will say Member_1 replied to Member_2's response. If you click on the word "response" you'll be taken back to the original post you responded to so that you can continue reading the thread from there.
When we launched, the option to add a member story on the WebMD Moderated Exchanges was left off. That has been added back in, and you can begin crafting your stories now!
You should also begin to notice that it isn't taking quite as long for your messages to show up. The problem has not gone away completely. Our tech folks are still working on a final fix. However, you should only have to wait 60 seconds or less to see your post appear on the What's Happening Now feed. If you're posting from the See All Discussions or any other index page, your post should show up immediately.
We also fixed a defect that was frustrating many of our members. After you joined an Exchange, created your member story, and then voted on a poll you would often be unjoined from the Exchange and your member story would disappear. This issue has been resolved, and you should now remain joined to the Exchange after voting on a poll.
We hope you enjoy these changes. You've given us some great feedback. We're listening, and these are just the first of the fixes and additions to come. Our tech team is already working on several more changes based on your suggestions and comments.
Please keep writing to let us know what you like, what you don't, and share your suggestions for the future.

Diesel technician are tasked with maintaining and repairing diesel engines.Read More...
If they are responsible for fleet maintenance or a similar task, these technicians also check to make sure the fleet's engines are functioning properly in an attempt to prevent breakdowns. Diesel technicians may work on marine- or land-based diesel engines, and they may work on larger vehicles (such as trucks) or static diesel engines (such as those in generators). While the technician's work environment varies based on their specialty, they often perform physical work in what may be inclement weather.
As with working conditions, hours are largely dictated by the technician's area of specialty. For example, if they are responsible for maintaining a fleet of trucks, diesel technicians may have a first-shift workweek. However, if they are on call for repairing engines and generators, technicians' hours may vary widely.
Diesel technicians must be experienced in working with diesel engines. They may be required to hold various certifications; certification is available from regional vocational and technical schools, as well as the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence. Because road testing is an important part of ensuring trucks' diesel engines are working correctly, employers often require technicians hold a valid CDL driver's license in their state of employment.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Diesel Technicians often transition into upper-level roles, like Diesel Shop Foreman, where average pay is $49K per year. Becoming a Diesel Engine Specialist or Truck Mechanic or a Heavy Equipment Mechanic is a common transition from a Diesel Technician role.
The biggest paychecks can be found at Republic Services Inc — the median salary there is $53K.
Ryder Systems, Inc. offers the least pay with a median salary of $43K; furthermore, salaries there max out at only $55K.
Survey results show that Diesel Technicians use a fair number of skills. Most notably, skills in System Repair, Heavy Equipment Repair, Electronic Troubleshooting, and Automotive Engine Repair are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 5 percent and 17 percent. Those proficient in Electronic Troubleshooting are, more often than not, also skilled in Welding.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Diesel Technicians, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $36K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $43K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Diesel Technicians make a median salary of $49K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $51K.

Walnut slab counter & other design questions
HI there,
For my master bath vanity I plan to use a walnut live edge slab for the vanity. We don't need storage in this bathroom (large linen closet right across the hall), so it will be a vanity with no drawers or cabinets beneath. We will recess a medicine cabinet on the wall next to the bathroom door for DH's basic toiletries.
Here is our inspiration picture, taken from Elle Decoration UK:
We want a modern, clean, earthy (organic??) feel I think.
The actual slab that we plan to use is below. At the deepest part it measures just 18" deep, 14-16" otherwise.
We want a more practical vessel sink than the one in the inspiration picture. We also want an oval shape (probably around 20" long, but only 14-15" wide or deep, given the modest width walnut slab. There are some oval white porcelain sinks that we like out there. We came across the sink pictured below as well. It is expensive, but it is the perfect shape (17" x 12") and beautiful. But I'm not sure that the weathered bronze look will work on the also brown walnut. Thoughts?
Any other thoughts re: design etc. most appreciated. We will sand the live edge of the walnut to ensure we can't get snagged on the corners, plus the walnut will need to be treated regularly so it can endure the humidity.
Here is our inspiration picture for the shower part of bathroom (from Houzz).
modern bathroom design by san francisco architect Cary Bernstein Architect
We plan to extend the walnut slab to run the 88" length of the wall, so into the shower section as shown in the inspiration picture. We won't have cabinetry below it, but probably river rock on the floor. We will use teak mats for the main 48" x 60" part of the shower.
We will primarily use a rain shower, so the approx 15" deep vanity should *just* be outside the splash zone, but it will certainly get the odd drop of water, no question. We don't need to run the walnut the whole length of the wall, but want to. Thoughts?
While there will not be a living plant wall in this bathroom (as I first planned), there will be plants, probably as pictured in the first inspiration picture.
These are my thoughts: "will you please come and help me redesign my house?"
I think running the slab into the shower area will look fabulous. I'm assuming you wold use a water proof finish on the slab of the sort that people use on wooden surfaces on boats. "Waterlox" maybe? If that can withstand water punishment on a boat it should suffice for a shower, I would think.
Hard to tell about the sink. It is gorgeous. But I think you'd have to look at them together after your slab has been finished, as the color may change.
Thanks sharonite. I'd love to! :)
We will absolutely water proof the slab. This is stil a nagging concern for me though. The slab will not be regularly exposed to water, but it will get a bit of spray occasionally I imagine. Plus lots of humidity of course - although we are installing a supposedly super exhaust vent.
Only DH and I will use the shower, we can take some care re: spray. I know that teak would probably be better than walnut for this purpose, as it is better with water (they usually use teak on boats). But in my city I can only find walnut, bubinga (only 60" long though, and expensive) and sapele (VERY expensive), no teak slabs. If anyone knows where I might find teak slabs let me know, as I could use the walnut slab for a desk off my kitchen.
I will consider the bronze sink further, but think that I should probably do white...
Thanks again.
The walnut can work fine, but definitely give it a film finish on all sides prior to installation.
If you just toss your towel on the countertop prior to showering the towel will catch most of the overspray. Then simply wipe off any other droplets when exiting the shower and it should perform fine.
My main wood store here in CT will order me a slab of a certain width and length if I need one. Getting a live edge or wane that's attractive and acceptable for the application, that might be another issue. So ordering a live edge slab can be tough.
I like your design ideas. Very nice.
Thanks mongoct. What type of film finish would you recommended in a bathroom application? Happily my brother-in-law is a cabinet maker and will hopefully help us out with the sanding/shaping/finishing if he has time. But I don't think he has done an application in a bathroom like this.
Anyone think that the teak mats in the shower will be at odds with the walnut slab vanity? Two different wood types, etc.
I think having three different shades of brown (walnut, teak, bronze bowl) is going to be a bit much. If the teak and the bronze are super close, you might be able to make it work, since two shades of brown is more doable. You would be able to pull off the bronze if the walnut was distinctly darker than the bowl - then try to use both shades of brown in accents throughout the room. There's also the monkey wrench that the teak is going to age and change color in that environment.
You may be right cloudbase. Based on the advice I've received (and my own gut) I think I will forego the bronze sink. So just two browns - the walnut and the teak.
I understand if you care for the teak regularly (oil it I guess??) it can retain much of the original colour?
fyi, I'm considering this tile (Yakarta Blanco from Porselanosa) for two of the shower walls. It reads white, but has a subtle pattern and light brown / green undertone:
That's a really nice looking tile, very natural and complex white. My only concern there would be if the tile has a lot of tooth (I haven't handled that particular Porcelainosa in person, so IDK), it might be tough to clean and keep clean in a damp area. Emser Strands Oyster, Ottimo Contemporary, or Venitian Architectural Grasscloth are all smoother tile with a fabricky (yep just made that up) pattern to them. I especially like the Venetian Architectural since they offer a cool white (cashmere) warm white (chinchilla) and I found it for $3.64/sqft which is quite reasonable.
Good word, fabricky.
Venetian Architectural is very nice, and certainly more affordable than what I was quoted for the Porcelanosa. I can get the tile I posted in a matte or gloss finish. The woman in the design showroom (who has apparently used this tile in a shower application before) suggested the matte as the gloss would show finger prints and water marks more than the matte. I too thought that the matte might be harder to clean, but it is still quite smooth, despite the fabricky texture. I will double check tomorrow, but I don't think it is too 'toothy.'
So the weathered bronze has been voted off the island.
How about this oval in white from Scarabeo? 16.1" x 13.4"
Alternatively, something a little more 'earthy' with a touch of colour (turquoise glaze)? From Vermont Art Sinks, just over 14" wide. This seems closer to my inspiration picture.
I like the Vermont Art Sink, but I wouldn't vote out the bronze till the walnut is finished. I think it might actually work well, but it totally depends on what the walnut is like when it's done.
I'm sorry you're not going to do another living wall--I think the one in your living room is spectacular.
Ah the living wall. Thank you so much for your kind words - most people seem to think I'm crazy for liking them. I just love the one I have. I could still possibly have one in the shower area, but I've given up on having it visible to the bedroom.
If for whatever reason I don't run the walnut all the way to the far side of the bathroom, I could have a living wall at the end of the shower area (vanity end), draining into the rocks. Or possibly I could have one right in the middle of the far wall, opposite the pocket door. Once the bathroom is more or less complete I need to evaluate for light. There is already one sky light and I'm adding a solar tube, but the roof is some distance off and I'm concerned that I won't have sufficient natural light.
Thanks for the advice about the bronze sink. I don't think there is a panic to buy the sink as they are all a similar size and the hole in the walnut for the plumbing would probably fall in the same place. But ... I do need to choose the sink to be able to tell the contractor where to place the plumbing for the in wall faucet. The height of the sink matters there.
So, I think I figured out the puzzle. It requires a touch of offsetting.
It means taking advantage of the natural shape of your walnut slab counter, and it will aleviate some space concerns. I think you should bring your door very nearly to the edge of your vanity, and move the sink more towards the shower (as opposed to centered on the space).
Maybe you should try hand-drawing the outline of the counter slab on your blueprint, and indicate where the glass enclosure ends (for clarity).
As an aside, I am jealous of your pocket door.
Fantastic, thanks rsvlle-nj! Nothing like first hand experience.
Cloudbase - I will be sure to place door nearly up to the edge of the vanity. The walnut will be not quite 17" in its widest/deepest spot, so a 20" wall should be plenty, maybe even 19".
Demo started today, we leave the country for three weeks tomorrow (family will be staying here and minding the reno). And I have to finalise my faucet, sink and shower order tonight. No stress though!
Your design is really lovely. So calm and serene. It's going to be a great bathroom. Very zen-like.
These comments are coming late into this discussion, but I wanted to offer a couple of thoughts.
First, where are you geographically? We are redoing a bathroom and using some horizontal wood wainscoting. We discovered that of our three wood choices, teak was by far the most expensive, then walnut, with sapele being the least expensive! We're getting it from our local "wood guys" (they buy and mill the wood themselves). We're in New England. So if you'd really like sapele and if you are in NE, I'd be glad to pass along the company name. Unless, of course, you are already set.
Second, as to a bowl, what about checking Etsy? There are a number of ceramists there who make really lovely vessel sinks. One might make you just what you want. I'm including a link to one below. It may be too big, but I think this person's work is truly wonderful.
Here is a link that might be useful: Interesting Sink
kashmi, thanks for your comments. Interesting that the sapele was least expensive! We've already purchases the walnut, so I think we're good. I have walnut elsewhere in the house, so it is a good choice for us I think. The sapele was expensive, but perhaps it wasn't that much more than the walnut - the sapele slabs were HUGE and priced around $700. My smaller walnut slab was just under $300, so probably still a bit cheaper than the sapele.
I had seen that Belgian sink in an Etsy search the other day, beautiful. But too big. I think we have decided on a Kohler 16.5" round sink, but I worry that it might be too big as well, as our slab will probably only be about 17-18". The sink in my inspiration picture extends beyond the slab, but I'm not sure how that would function IRL...
Sochi, I just returned from Thailand where slab lumber is being used in gorgeous asian-modern interiors. Went to a slab yard or should i say slab porn! Table tops that are 30 ft long, 3 feet wide and 8" thick!!! Made from monkey pod wood.
I will post photos of some. I too plan to use a slab counter for the bathroom, probably have it shipped from there.
Pharaoh, I can't wait to see the pictures and hear more about the pod wood. Sounds like you had a fascinating trip! I'm in Italy at the moment, DH fears that I'm going to try to stuff a sink into our carry on luggage! So much here for a girl with a modern heart to love, so much choice.
Went to a restaurant in chiang mai where the entrance floor was a solid slab of this wood! amazing..
my master bath is a couple of years away but the theme is: wabi-sabi, japanese, serene, natural. should evoke the calmness of a japanese tea room. The slab will be the counter. (No obvious bathroom storage in view)
any suggestions? ;)
