Hemmings Find of the Day – Yenko-Weslake 32-valve Chevrolet small-block V-8
While we most commonly associate Weslake with Ford V-8 engines, Chevrolet and Yenko did work with the British tuner to build a number of aluminum pushrod-activated 32-valve cylinder heads for the small-block Chevrolet V-8—reportedly 100 were planned, but only 10 sets were built, and only three assembled into full engines. This Yenko-Weslake 32-valve Chevrolet small-block V-8 for sale on Hemmings.com is one of those three assembled engines, originally built by Alan Smith Racing Engines in England, and the only one not in Speedy Bill Smith's museum, according to the seller. From his description:
This incredible 32 Valve Weslake Chevrolet is the Holy Grail of period Small Block Chevrolet performance engines. Commissioned by Chevrolet, this was a collaborative effort between Chevrolet and Weslake Engineering. Only three complete engines were originally built and only ten pairs of heads cast. This 355 ci Weslake Chevrolet engine was one of the three complete engines and was originally built by Alan Smith for Weslake Engineering in the U.K. It has recently been show finished and rebuilt for street use.
The engine also comes with an extra pair of original Weslake head castings, a spare Weslake valley pan and valve cover as well as original race parts – dry sump oil pan, 90-degree drive Ronco Vertex magneto and Lucas slide injection.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood
When properly equipped, station wagons can haul far more than groceries, kids, dogs and lumber. This 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood Wagon, for sale on Hemmings.com, was ordered with the optional L-36 V-8, which put out 390 horsepower from its 427-cu.in. of displacement. Said to be numbers-matching, this example has seen the kind of upkeep over the years that shows it was well cared for; the hood has been repainted to address fading paint, body bushings have been replaced, the A/C compressor and evaporator are new, the front and rear seats have been reupholstered and the carpeting is fresh, but otherwise the wagon remains largely unaltered from its as-built condition. It's a safe bet that this Chevy won't exactly be a fuel-sipper, but we're sure it makes up for that in other ways. From the seller's description:
Chevrolet: 1969 Kingswood Wagon, VIN: 164369F119222, L-36 427/390HP, TH-400, 133K, Protect-O-Plate, Original Numbers Matching, Crimson Red Exterior/Black Interior, Power Steering, Power Brakes, AM Radio, Front Disc, Air Conditioned, Power Windows, Power Seat, Extremely Rare

* Adam Martin's 1968 Camaro isn't numbers matching. It isn't Pro Touring. It doesn't have a five-figure paint job or provenance or some gossamer thread connecting it to some washed-up celebrity. Instead, it's the car he bought as a pizza boy and that he has wrenched, hammered, and hot-footed ever since, and he wouldn't have it any other way – except maybe with a five-speed.

Last remaining 1983 Corvette gets dedicated display

When a sinkhole opened up under the National Corvette Museum last February, damaging or destroying eight cars in the museum's Skydome, most people familiar with the museum showed primary concern not for any of the eight, but for the 1983 Corvette in the museum's collection—the only one in existence from that model year. It escaped the sinkhole unscathed and now, with the Skydome undergoing repairs, the museum has given it pride of place with a new dedicated exhibit.
Under development since the late 1970s as a replacement for the aging third-generation Corvette—which used a basic chassis that dated back to 1963—the fourth-generation Corvette was slated to use an entirely redesigned chassis and body and to debut amid the Corvette's 30th anniversary celebrations in 1983. "We were trying to figure out how to bring the car back to date in all aspects," said David McLellan, chief engineer for the Corvette at the time. "There was new technology that hadn't been used in Chevrolet or in any automotive application yet."
While a lot of the whiz-bang gadgets packed into the fourth-generation Corvette—like the digital readouts on the liquid-crystal graphic displays and the Doug Nash 4+3 transmission behind the Cross-Fire small-block—got the lion's share of the press's attention, it was the work that McLellan and his crew did in optimizing the Corvette's handling by moving the drivetrain back in the chassis, that really refined and modernized the Corvette.
However, the goal of producing an all-new Corvette ended up precluding the goal of introducing it for the 1983 model year. Chevrolet went so far as to create a brochure for the 1983 cars, but had to push back production from the fall of 1982 to January of 1983, and as a result, decided to introduce the fourth-generation Corvette as an early 1984 model-year car; a number of reasons for the delay have been reported since then, including issues with retooling and with meeting more stringent emissions regulations.
As with any car, though, Chevrolet built a number of prototypes and pilot cars to test the fourth-generation Corvette before it hit production. According to McLellan, Chevrolet built 18 of the former and 43 of the latter, almost all of which were destroyed during testing or subsequently crushed. Only one—serial number 1G1AY0783D5110023 (also known as RBV098)—survived, if only by happenstance. National Corvette Museum materials peg RBV098 as the fourth pilot car built and note that Chevrolet assigned it to the GM Milford Proving Grounds in August and September 1982.

Chevrolet then returned RBV098 to the assembly plant in Bowling Green for use as a training car and fixture trial car. Once production ramped up, plant employees then set it aside, leaving it to languish outside. According to the museum, plant manager Paul Schnoes then noticed RBV098 in 1984 and ordered it cleaned up and brought inside. For a while it wore a stars and stripes-themed paint scheme, but upon its donation to the museum in 1994—where it went on display during the museum's grand opening—it reverted back to its original white with blue interior.
Made possible by a gift from the Dyer Family Foundation, the new exhibit for the 1983 Corvette separates it out from the rest of the Corvettes in the museum with retaining trusses and special displays, including a video of McLellan talking about the car.

A lifetime's collection of hot rods and parts heads to auction in Florida
Fords stacked up in a Florida warehouse, awaiting the Koepke collection sale. Photos courtesy Yvette VanDerBrink.
When Bob Koepke died in November of 2014, no one, not even his son, David, knew the secrets hidden in the brush of his overgrown Florida property. For nearly 50 years, the elder Koepke had collected parts and bodies from 1930s Fords and 1950s Chevrolets, along with aftermarket components needed to make his own cars go faster. Now in the process of being sorted and cataloged, Bob Koepke's impressive collection of cars, bodies and parts will head to auction on April 11.
Born in Gary, Indiana, in May of 1943, Bob grew up tending to chores on the family's farm. His first car was an old Ford Model A, purchased from older brother Karl for the princely sum (to a high school student in the early 1960s, anyway) of $25. Though other cars would come into his life, Bob never lost his passion for the Model A; it was, after all, the car that introduced him to the world of hot rodding.
Determined to give his son a better life, Bob's father insisted that he attend college. After graduating from Indiana University with a degree in accounting, Bob headed south to Florida's Space Coast, new wife in tow, to take an accounting job in the aerospace industry. Working for solid employers like Boeing and NASA, his career took off, and for a while the family prospered under the hot Florida sun. Bob even befriended NASCAR and tuning legend Smokey Yunick, who ran "The Best Damn Garage in Town" in nearby Daytona Beach.
Bob Koepke.
A divorce left Bob with custody of his son, David, and as his boy grew older, the two would prowl the swap meets and car shows of the Southeast, always on the lookout for bargains on tri-five Chevy parts or prewar Ford stuff. His work at NASA brought him in contact with astronauts and executives, and Bob developed a taste for both Corvettes and imported sports cars. His collection expanded to include oddities like a 1973 DeTomaso Pantera, disassembled for body repair and paintwork, but reportedly purchased from an astronaut with a mere 3,800 miles on the odometer. The garage held a 1958 Porsche 356 coupe, too, and somewhere along the line, Bob picked up a 1978 Ferrari 308, which David recalls as his dad's daily driver during his wear-a-suit-to-work days.
As the 1980s blended into the 1990s, the enduring prosperity of the space program gave way to the harsh reality of budget cuts, and life for many on the Space Coast began to sour. Bob took an early retirement, and David began college at the University of Florida, but soon made the decision to move back to Indiana, where he found work as a machinist. Though he and his father still kept in touch, the distance between them became, perhaps, more than physical. Busy with his own career and family, David's trips to Florida became more infrequent. When he did head south, his father always insisted they meet somewhere close to David's hotel, as a matter of convenience.
When David got the word last November that his father had died, he came to the realization that it had been 10 years since he'd set foot on his father's property. Arriving there, it soon became apparent why his father always insisted they meet elsewhere. The driveway was overgrown, as was the house, the garage, the barn and the rest of the property, requiring David to cut his way through the jungle that had reclaimed the land using a chainsaw and a machete.
Once David was able to gain entry into the house, his father's transition from collector to hoarder became apparent. Parts were stacked in every available corner of the house, including the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. In a back corner of his dad's garage, David found Bob's original $25 Model A, which will not be part of the sale. Along with a 1935 Ford roadster that David recognized as his father's favorite, the Model A will go back to Indiana and remain part of the family.
Enlisting the help of hot rod buddies in Indiana and Florida, David and his crew began the process of clearing brush and trees, a necessary step before the removal of cars, bodies and parts strewn about the property could begin. With much of the inventory now safely stored in a nearby warehouse for cataloging, a full list of cars and components is being assembled. The collection is heavy on prewar Fords and includes several 1932-'34 three-window coupes, a few 1932 roadsters and several 1934-'36 cabriolet roadsters, plus assortments of original and aftermarket parts.

For Chevrolet collectors, the sale will feature seven 1955-'57 Nomads, all in various stages of disassembly, along with four 1957 Chevrolet convertibles and a cut-up '55 drop-top. There are plenty of Corvette parts (including fuel-injection components from 1957 and 1958 models) and assorted speed parts to bid on, too, including some signed by Smokey Yunick himself. The 1958 Porsche 356, mostly restored but disassembled, will be part of the sale, as will the 1973 Pantera and the 1978 Ferrari.

VanDerBrink Auctions, the company behind the now-legendary Lambrecht Chevrolet sale, will conduct the April 11 event, with cars and bodies crossing the stage first (at 9:00 a.m. sharp), followed by parts. While Internet bidding via Proxibid will be permitted on select lots, those on site will have access to the full catalog of auction items.
A complete inventory list, along with photos and videos, will be posted to the VanDerBrink Auctions web page in the coming weeks. We'll post more images as they become available, too.
Midweek Matinee: Dinah Shore, Apple Pie and Chevrolet, 1953
Still images from video below.
First, the entertainment: Dinah Shore sings an upbeat "It's a Most Unusual Day" from the 1948 MGM musical romance comedy A Date for Judy. Born in 1916, in Winchester, Tennessee, Frances Rose Shore was the daughter of a prosperous dry goods merchant. A Sociology major at Vanderbilt, in 1938 she moved to NYC to pursue a singing career, eventually performing on radio, stage, records, film and television to popular acclaim. She hosted the Dinah Shore Chevy Show from October 1956 to June 1963 in a one-hour variety show format.
With an easy transition from singing to selling, she introduces "a brilliant new performer" – the 1953 Chevrolet lineup. But there's also something most unusual about this pre-production Bel Air four-door sedan: Can you spot it?
We tour the newly redesigned vehicle inside and out. New 115-hp, high-compression, valve-in-head, Blue Flame engine: Check. Powerglide transmission: Check. Roomy rear seating: Check—yet something's amiss.
No mere entertaining car commercial, mind you, this is a behind-the-camera peek at process photography and backlit screens, giving you the real Hollywood-insider low down on how these film things work. Cut! Print it!
For the big finale, Dinah gets a costume change to perform the two-verse-and-chorus version of our favorite Chevy song. Some music critics called her work too sweet and sentimental, but we say "what's so gosh-darn wrong with that?"
You won't find a spoiler here: You'll need to watch the film to confirm your answer to the question posed above. But we will post the lyrics for you to sing along, so round up some friends who can properly harmonize with you:
See the USA in your Chevrolet,
America is asking you to call.
Drive your Chevrolet through the USA,
America's the greatest land of all.
On a highway or a road along a levee,
Performance is sweeter,
Nothing can beat her,
Life is completer in a Chevy.
So make a date today to see the USA,
And see it in your Chevrolet.
Travelin' east, travelin' west,
Wherever you go, Chevy service is best.
Southward or north, near place or far,
There's a Chevrolet dealer for your Chevrolet car.
See the USA in your Chevrolet,
The Rockies way out west are calling you.
Drive your Chevrolet through the USA,
Where fields of golden wheat pass in review.
Whether travelin' light or with a load that's heavy,
Performance is sweeter,
Nothing can beat her,
Life is completer in a Chevy.
So make a date today to see the USA,
And see it in your CHEV–RO–LET!
Now, throw a big kiss to the audience and take a bow.
After a lifetime of entertaining her audiences and baffling snooty critics, Frances Rose "Dinah" Shore died in 1994, at age 76, of ovarian cancer.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1949 Chevrolet 3800 canopy express
Typically, mass-market vehicles tend to live rather anonymous lives, and the only way their histories remain complete is either through extreme diligence in documenting their previous owners or by having just one owner. Service vehicles, such as this 1949 Chevrolet 3800 canopy express for sale on Hemmings.com, tend to go against that rule, however, largely because as business assets, they receive a little more careful documentation while putting in a hard day's work. It'd be neat to not only see how this restored canopy express has been put to work in the past, but also how its next owner will use it. From the seller's description:
With only 12 known to exist, this immaculate restored 1949 Chevrolet 3800 Canopy Truck can certainly be classified as a true and rare piece of American automobile history. Originally purchased in 1949 in Richland, WA, this Canopy truck includes photos documenting all of its history. It is powered with a Chevrolet 235ci Thriftmaster Straight Six cylinder engine and a floor-shifted 4 speed manual transmission. The flawless green exterior is accented by the new front/rear bumpers and new LT 215/R16 Goodyear Radial tires with new reproduction Chevrolet hubcaps. This Chevrolet has its sides/tail Canvas Canopy which is complemented by the refinished wood boards in the bed and polished stainless steel runners/hardware. The tan interior includes factory bucket seats, new door seal rubbers, window felts and new front and rear windows. This 1949 Chevrolet is a must have and can be enjoyed while being put back to work as you cruise on down to your next local farmers' market event!

Four-Links – gallery show for auto renderings, Cad on a dyno, Cad from a junkyard, Hint of Mint
* Out in Los Angeles, a new gallery show curated by Christopher Mount, "When the Future Had Fins," will focus on the art of the automobile rendering, with all of the artwork available for sale. Petrolicious chatted with Mount about the show.
* It's not often somebody wants to dyno-test a completely restored car, but the folks at Southern Auto Stables recently strapped down a 1959 Cadillac to see what it would do. Pictures and video are on their Facebook page.
* The Wall Street Journal seems to be picking up where the New York Times's defunct Wheels blog left off, as we see from this quick story on Cadillac collector Allen Murray, who saved a whole mess of Cads a few years back. (via)
* Unless you look real close at the photo above, you'd have a hard time believing that the car, dubbed Hint of Mint, started out as a 1957 Chevrolet, but as Rik Hoving at the Custom Car Chronicle tells the story, that's exactly the case.
* Finally, for another customized tri-five, Mike Garrett at Speedhunters this week took a look at Shinobu Furutani's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, a car built like many a SoCal custom, but in Japan.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1959 Chevrolet Corvette by Scaglietti
As anybody who's familiar with the Carroll Shelby story knows, Shelby had plenty of plans for lightweight American V-8-powered sports cars that would go head to head with the best Europe had to offer long before he swapped a Ford V-8 into an AC and took it racing. One of those plans called for Scaglietti to coachbuild a series of Corvettes, and while the plan never came to fruition, Scaglietti did body three cars before the scheme was scuttled. One of those three, this 1959 Chevrolet Corvette by Scaglietti for sale on Hemmings.com, features a fuel-injected small-block Chevrolet V-8 and four-speed transmission. From the seller's description:
The fascinating and complex history of the Scaglietti Corvette began when Gary Laughlin, a wealthy Texas oil man and gentleman racer, had just broken the crankshaft in his Ferrari Monza. Like most Ferrari repairs, this was not going to be a cheap, simple fix.
At the time, Laughlin was an active participant of the American sports car racing scene and was a close acquaintance of many of the key figures, including fellow Texan Carroll Shelby. The two had witnessed a number of V8 powered home-built specials challenge, and often defeat, the best that Europe had to offer. The idea developed that they should build a dual-purpose car based on the solid mechanicals of the Chevrolet Corvette. European-style alloy coachwork could help the chassis finally realize its potential. By chance, Laughlin owned a few Chevrolet dealerships and had a particularly valuable friend in Peter Coltrin, an automotive journalist who had gained an "in" with the influential Italians.
Laughlin met with Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby to begin discussing what form their new Italian-American hybrid would take. The general consensus was that they should create a car that offered the best of both worlds – a Corvette with the distinction, performance and style of a Ferrari, but with the power and reliability of a Chevrolet. The aim was to create a genuine high-performance GT with enough leg and headroom to meet American expectations. Once this was decided, Coltrin put Laughlin in touch with Sergio Scaglietti.
With the help of Chevrolet General Manager Ed Cole, three 1959 Corvette chassis were discreetly acquired from the St. Louis Corvette plant before bodies could be fitted – one was specified with a "fuelie" and a four-speed, the others came with twin four barrels and automatics. During one of his frequent trips through Europe, Laughlin met with Sergio Scaglietti who agreed to produce a small run of bodies for the Corvette chassis. At the time, Scaglietti was busy turning out Ferrari's Tour de France and purpose-built racing cars. The Scaglietti Corvette would follow the lines of the Tour de France, albeit lines adapted to fit the Corvette's larger footprint. In an effort to impress, or perhaps, appease GM management, Laughlin specified a proper Corvette grille. The interior would be similarly hybridized with an intriguing combination of Americana – Stewart Warner gauges, T-handle parking brake, Corvette shift knob; and classic Italian GT – a purposeful crackle-finish dashboard, deeply bolstered leather seats and exquisite door hardware.
The completed car arrived in Texas in the fall of 1960, almost 18 months after the chassis had been obtained. It proved to be the only one of the three to be finished in Italy and shipped back to the United States as a complete car. When Laughlin received the car, the fit and finish were not quite what he was expecting, especially as the project had taken nearly three years from conception to completion. Enzo Ferrari would have been quite unhappy to hear that his exclusive coachbuilder was working on side projects for a group of Texans, so, to Scaglietti's credit, the car was largely a prototype and the work was executed in a shroud of secrecy.
Towards the end of the project, Carroll Shelby, who by then was living in Italy, received a late-night phone call from Ed Cole. Cole had been chastised by GM management and was told to drop the project. It was poor timing. American car companies were under pressure to cut down on their high-performance and racing programs. They simply could not deal with the repercussions of a GM-backed Italianbodied Corvette. The remaining cars were shipped to Houston in a partially completed state. Jim Hall took delivery of one. Shelby, who had helped conceive the project, ended up declining the remaining car and it was promptly sold.

The power of attorney does not confer authority to manage a Social Security recipient's benefits. If the beneficiary is incapacitated, only Social Security can approve another person to handle benefits. This is accomplished through a representative payee application process.
Power of Attorney & Social Security
When Social Security recipients become unable to manage their own affairs due to age or disability, friends or relative sometimes believe that a power of attorney will allow them to manage the recipient's Social Security checks.
Incapable Beneficiary
Check Cashing Rules
The U.S. Treasury Department's regulations forbid using a power of attorney to cash Social Security benefit checks. Section 207 of the Social Security Act forbids assignment of benefits, and the power of attorney offers a potential way to assign benefits to a non-recipient.
Authorized Representative
A power of attorney does not authorize a person to act as an attorney or representative in the case of Social Security appeals or other business on a Social Security beneficiary's behalf. A recipient must submit a written and signed request directly to Social Security that contains the same information requested on Social Security form SSA-1696, Appointment of Representative.
Disclosure of Information
The Privacy Act limits who may consent to the disclosure of personal information from the Social Security records. Under the Privacy Act, a power of attorney does not give the authority to consent to the release of information, unless it includes specific instructions from the beneficiary about releasing such information.

The number of coupons used by Americans plummeted in 2012 down 17 percent.
After surging during the great recession, the old-fashioned savings tool seems to have lost favor among consumers. Or has it?
Coupon industry insiders disagree on whether the drop is an aberration caused by a poor mix of coupon offers in 2012 or whether it signals the beginning of the end of the paper coupon era.
The industry is not used to having double-digit (swings) either way, said John Morgan, executive director of the Association of Coupon Professionals, the coupon industrys trade organization. Thats a big deal. Historically, it has been slow single-digit (increases or decreases) either way.
Last year, U.S. consumers redeemed 2.9 billion coupons on consumer packaged goods. Thats according to the most recent tally by NCH Marketing, one of the countrys major coupon clearinghouses. NCH is a division of Valassis, which publishes the Red Plum coupon inserts for newspapers.
As of 2012, about 90 percent of all coupons were still distributed in coupon books, the vast majority delivered via the Sunday newspaper. Thus far, the so-called click-to-card digital coupons that shoppers load to their store loyalty cards have amounted to about 1 percent of coupons distributed, and redemption is similarly small.
The 17.1 percent drop in redemptions in 2012 is even more dramatic considering the total number of coupons made available paper and digital remained steady at 305 billion.
Charlie Brown, vice president of marketing at NCH, attributes the decline to a calculated move by manufacturers to correct an unusually high redemption rate in 2011.
Coupon redemption reached 3.5 billion coupons redeemed in 2011, a 6 percent increase over the previous year and a 26 percent increase since before the recession.
In 2012, manufacturers put on the brakes. The coupon values became skimpier, the expiration dates shorter, and oftentimes the coupons required that shoppers buy two or even three of an item before getting 55 cents off.
Manufacturers also issued more coupons for new products, which, Brown said, doesnt have the same level of appeal.
For the manufacturer, the redemption of the coupon is an expense, he said, so they purposely made the coupon offers less attractive. They dont want 100 percent of the coupons redeemed.

Country Kitchen
I'd like to ask you to describe (or post a picture of) your favorite country kitchen. I want to have a table and chairs in the kitchen and a fireplace or woodstove. I'm still in the planning stages so size is still adjustable. I've always liked antique white kitchens with blue accents and antique brass hardware, but I'm open to other ideas and suggestions.
I like a lot of light in the kitchen and would like to include some plants and/or herbs. While I hope to get some great ideas for the kitchen, I'd also like to see what country kitchen suggests to all of you :)
I wish I had a picture of the kitchen in the house I grew up in. It was a wing off the back of a 200 y/o cape in New England. I would guess it was close to 18 X 20 feet. There were windows on opposite walls, and a porch off the back. We had cabinets on 3 sides, and the forth side had a nice old Hoosier cabinet. We had an old table and chairs in the middle. In my mother's next house, she had a much smaller kitchen, but it had a country feel as well. What I liked about it was that it had almost no overhead cabinets, so there was room for windows and paintings hanging on the wall. SHe had the same old table and chairs in there, too. She had a small bay window over the sink which was ideal for a few plants. Things I like in a country kitchen are: Big enough for a table and chairs. Lots of windows. Cabinets that look more like free-standing cupboards. Lots of kitchen antiques throughout. Vintage surfaces, such as painted wood cabinets (preferably white) and natural counter tops of wood or stone. Likewise, the floor should be something that you would see in an old house- wood or stone. I guess I'm evolving into vintage' kitchen, but to me, that is part of the look. I don't like stainless steel in country kitchens, either.
Flgargoyle- You are so right, vintage should have been part of my original description. I think your description of the first kitchen sounds wonderful...and a porch :) I wish you had pictures too.
The second kitchen is also nice. The bay window sounds very pretty and I like lots of windows and paintings with more old-fashioned storage. Also like the wood floors and natural counter tops.
I've been thinking it might be more practical to have a large pantry, storage and maybe canning/preserving area off the kitchen with a freezer, second sink and lots of counter space and storage...and a walk-in pantry. This would let me be more creative with the kitchen and do some of the things you've suggested, like more windows, etc. and still have plenty of storage near the kitchen.
I don't like stainless steel in country kitchens either :)
I worked in a lot of restaurants when I was young and stainless steel feels very industrial to me, not cozy. However, a stainless steel counter in a greenhouse would be entirely different and a very practical and good thing (LOL)
I did a Google search for country kitchen ideas and this page came up - lots of pics :-)
Here is a link that might be useful: Country Kitchen Ideas
Isn't Google Images wonderful? It works for my searches so much better than just the web option.
I've always wanted a kitchen with free standing furniture instead of cupboards. Very English and they do sell this in the US now. Or one could find their own for doing this. Not sure how much resell would pose a problem, but if done right I'd think it would be beyond the norm and a great kitchen.
Since I'll be building my next kitchen, I can do what I want (pocketbook allowing). It just occurred to me that I could build a series of free-standing cupboards, and then bolt them down/together. Or even leave them loose! The only thing that would need to be secured would be the one with the sink. I'd like to have different height counters for different tasks, such as a low one for kneading bread, which would fit in well with that scheme as well. I like a big pantry too. In both of the houses I mentioned there were big pantries. The one we have now is more of a closet.
Wonderful suggestions here. :o)
I haven't seen the movie 'The Holiday', but saw the kitchen referred to in another thread. It definitely caught my fancy ....
Here is a link that might be useful: link to more pics
Isn't it pretty, Chris? Imagine if all the cupboards were painted sagey green instead of blue .. mmmmm .... mmmmm (said like a true green lover eh? lol)
I think having the FP in there sure helps, as well as all the open shelving. I kind of think open shelves are more 'friendly' and casual than having everything behind doors.
I think that a family table also adds to the country feel. A 'formal dining room' and 'country kitchen' just don't seem to go together.
I also kind of think that having pieces of furniture instead of built-ins is more old fashioned because (I think) people bought cupboards and hutches as they could afford them (or build them). I would imagine that a custom 'built in' kitchen was way over what most folks could afford a hundred+ years ago.
Oh Chris...my favorite of all sets. You definitely have to watch the movie. It isn't the A*, but an endearing movie and of course the set. I want to live there. The cottage itself is actually a model and doesn't exist.
Yes, green instead of blue. And I could see building a fake firplace to use for some other storage. Maybe I should gut my kitchen!
Try doing a search for "unfitted kitchen". That means one with freestanding cabinetry and furniture pieces, and you should find some lovely examples.
Do check your local code for what would need to be affixed, many locales require any cabinet with plumbing, electric or gas running to it to be secured to the floor.
The link below was sent to me to look through . A fun read. Not sure I want steel. Going to look into the Fitted kitchen suggestion. I have to get ready for work soon so this will give me something to look forward to when I get home.
If I do go with the furniture type kitchen I will leave the sink cabinet in place or get another that will attach. Good call Trixieinthegarden.
If this whole decision were up to me it would have already been taken care of. LOL I still need to convince the man of the house this is a good idea.
Thanks Chris
Here is a link that might be useful: Vintage kitchens
I found this site and there are too many to list for possibilities. You will need to link from this site to view other options. Looked at a few of them and love the ideas. Will have to go through when I have more time.
Trixie, you are right. Some of the "furniture" has to meet code. They do have matching pieces for this. All is from England, but great ideas and obviously a big seller in the UK.
I can see with what I did read how one could use so many pieces of furniture already available, new, used, etc. Finish off to match or combine in a unique way. Also, this would be so much less cost for remodeling a kitchen. Darn, wish mine would fall apart and go for this idea.
Here is a link that might be useful: More than fun...
Lavender Lass,
Do you get to choose, or is it a joint (husband involved) project?
I know a woman who purchased inexpensive antiques for years, storing them in an old garage. When they went to design the kitchen she opened the garage...French butcher block (the real thing, an old grocer's block) island...good quality cupboards rescued from a 1920's house (they raised them up a bit with a new base)...stained glass windows (placed as decorations over double pane)..old tin ceiling tiles to make a stove back splash. A genuine Hoosier cabinet. An old stove that's being repaired now. In short, too much stuff to bother with getting new. He's thrilled with the kitchen budget (and getting a car into the garage) and how easy it all is. She's thrilled that with a coat of paint she gets her country kitchen.
Maybe you could borrow a page from her book. Antiques are
really cheap right now.
We've tried mightily to make a country kitchen out of our tiny galley kitchen. There is an adjacent family room, which has become the 'country' part of our kitchen. We have a very old pie safe, a Hoosier cabinet, and a small jelly cupboard in there, as well as our old kitchen table and chairs. My wife has some of her antique utensils hanging on the walls. I rescued a neat old cabinet from a dumpster that is very tall and skinny. My wife painted it cream and green, in the colors that were popular on utensil handles back in the 30's. I guess I could take some pics, although it's not a very well-coordinated room; it all just sort of happened. I hope we can tie it together more effectively when we build our new place!
flgargoyle. You tease!! Please share pictures!! I love the cream and green.
Considering moving the Hoosier into our kitchen after the redo. But I use the hoosier in my studio to cut glass on. Soooooooooooo And no it is not harming the hoosier to cut glass on I have a special cutting mat on it.
OMG Phone just rang. Friend is coming to visit from California. My kitchen cabinets are all unloaded and boxed in the sewing guest room. Guy starting on the kitchen remodel today. City Council meeting Monday night, I am the city clerk so lots of work, and I HAVE to work CRIPES I am out of here for awhile. I am in total shock. OH NOOOOOOOOOO he just told us he is 5 hours away!!!! HOLY CRIPES Zoooommmmming out of here. Have fun you guys. Send me energy!!!
Chris, I didn't know that you were actually ready to start on your kitchen. You'll have to start a thread also so we can see what you are doing.
It seems like I will be the last to 'spruce-up' my kitchen (if I was only independently wealthy, sigh). I say spruce-up because I definitly will be keeping my old cabs and adding new into the mix.
I know how it is to have company when the house is torn apart! Lots of good energy is coming your way!
BTW, you guys have a lot of council meetings. Are they gettin' paid by the hour? lol
Sigh.....with me, first thing to go in any country kitchen would be a plate rack. I've really coveted those, and plan to rip out a wall cabinet next to our sink and have hubby build me one JUST LIKE I TELL HIM TO DO. (right)
Then, I see white cabinets, of course. I see a garden window, which is same level as the sink with the countertop tile extending outward into the window. NO backsplash behind the sink, just this fine window with potted herbs and hanging baskets of sunloving plants.
I love the beadboard backs in the cabinets, especially the ones with glass doors. But maybe no beadboard for the walls, since they would be hard to clean in the main kitchen. A stainless steel counter top could look much like the old tin counter tops, so I have nothing against them there. A country kitchen should be highly utilitarian. But given that, a variety of counter surfaces based on what is appropriate for each space would be great. If someone bakes a lot, then the low height of a marble surfaced counter--but I don't do that much baking. I am a fan of Silestone counter tops, and some of the textures and colors could be quite nice in a country kitchen. I personally am fond of Italian porcelain tile floors, but if someone has stainless countertops, then white cabinets, a gray slate on the floor would look great, along with some brushed nickel drawer and door hardware.
If there is no room for a kitchen table, then a taller cabinet with beadboard on the outside and a nice bar top with some good sturdy stools using tractor seats might look pretty good. A porch post at either side of the widened doorway from the dining room would look good. (We do plan to widen and relocate a passageway and put a 2 stool bar off to one side which will be high enough to hide the cooking side of our galley style kitchen.
A single sink with an apron can be in stainless, but the real winner is probably the soapstone farm sink. If there is room for a pantry, make it like someone said, with room for the nitty gritty kitchen functions like canning, mass production of fresh foods, the freezer, a deep big sink, the recycle area, maybe even the laundry in there if that is where the mudroom entry connects. This would be more important in areas with severe winters, of course.
I know there is more than this, but I was not prepared for someone to ask what the ideal country kitchen should look like. Above all, a place to talk on the phone, have a cup of tea or coffee, fix a quick school lunch, call the volunteers for the PTA or church social. Maybe a laptop tucked into a corner with a small TV above it. In my grandma's day, she had her radio tuned to Stella Dallas every day.
Wow, so many great ideas! The fireplace is beautiful in that kitchen. I haven't even had a chance to look at the links, but I will tonight.
Idie2live- Love the kitty...is that cross stitch?
I'm very lucky in that my husband doesn't really care what I do, as long as it's not all lace and pink (LOL) Less money is always a plus, but don't want to sacrifice quality, so antiques are a great idea. I love painted beadboard and might put some on an island. I have a large space if I take the wall down between the kitchen and dining room. I'm also thinking of taking a wall down between the kitchen and old porch and having a sitting area with the wood stove. All the action, except watching TV, seems to happen in the kitchen, so why not have a lot of space to enjoy it? I may add on behind the kitchen for the pantry/laundry area/mudroom. If the money hold out, I'd love to have a screened porch off the back :)
About the time we decided to buy this rental cottage from a friend, we put in this 10x12' wooden deck after the railing of the stoop collapsed. Hubby built it, but a contractor neighbor kept me from killing him since he did NOT understand that Alabama was different from MA. The bricks came from the lovely riverfront home we had, which was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Previous residents had pit bulls which they kept chained in the back yard. The entire back stoop had to be torn out due to the damage they did to it. We subsequently replaced the hollow core back door and the damaged storm door, replaced the upper screened in area with white vinyl lattice and Lexan to keep out critters such as raccoons, squirrels, mice, rats, stray cats, and BIRDS. While taking out a broom hanging rack on the porch, I found a nest with three tiny bird eggs in it, long dried out, but they explained why we continue to have some tiny birds coming through the double glazed french door when I forget and leave it open. Old habits are hard to break.
We have a wrought iron table on the deck now. An umbrella lets us have lunch around it even in summer. But after the sun crosses the yardarm is when this deck really shines. It is on the eastern exposure of the house. The back gable of the house casts a good shade for us. We now have a gas grill down on the brick patio area.
The back porch is slowly being transformed into an extension of the kitchen. The lattice is gone, and the Lexan windows are bullet proof and let in a LOT of light.
Building with Lexan requires a lot of study and practice to make sure you use the proper caulking and allow for the extra expansion this material has, unlike glass windows.
BUT, it probably will never get busted out by hurricanes.

A New York state assemblyman from the Hudson Valley stands ready to take action against a local gas station owner if prices at a few stations near West Point aren't lower by next month.
Democratic Assemblyman James Skoufis has written to the head of the only two gas stations in the Town of Highlands in Orange County asking that he lower prices that tend to run about 30 to 40 cents higher than in surrounding areas.
A proposal to make Stewart International Airport in Orange County a tax-free zone, included in New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address earlier this month, is drawing mixed reviews.
When speaking about infrastructure during his January 21 State of the State address, Governor Andrew Cuomo addressed plans for two regional airports.
In New York's Ulster County, a town and village are moving forward with a streets advisory council.
States of emergency have been declared for at least two Hudson Valley counties.
The Dutchess and Orange County executives have declared states of emergency. Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro says the state of emergency becomes effective at 9 tonight when all roads in Dutchess will be closed and traffic prohibited except for certain personnel necessary during storm and emergency operations. There is no set time for rescinding the order. Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus declared a State of Emergency that became effective at 7 p.m. and runs through 7 a.m. Wednesday.
With up to two feet of snow predicted for the Hudson Valley, county and state personnel are on high alert and readying their forces.
On-and-off flurries began in portions of the Hudson Valley before 9 this morning while light snow came into view about an hour later. The message from local officials is the same. Get home before dark and get off the roads ahead of the evening commute. Vasil Koleci with the National Weather Service says to expect light snow today.
Students have returned to their New Paltz campus after participating in a workshop in disaster preparedness in Israel.
After searching for months, Westchester County has a new mental health commissioner.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation held a public hearing Thursday in Rockland County's Stony Point concerning a proposed pipeline expansion project. More than 40 speakers offered comments in front of a full audience.
A Catskill newspaper publishing facility is shutting down.
Columbia-Greene Media, which publishes the Catskill Daily Mail, Hudson Register Star, Windham Journal, and six other publications, is shuttering its Catskill printing plant, and as of February 3rd outsourcing production to The Daily Gazette newspaper in Schenectady. Nine full-time and 10 part-time positions in Catskill will be affected. The Windham Journal says several workers will be offered opportunities at the Gazette. The publishers say the move will enhance all the papers and allow color reproduction on every page.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Wednesday delivered his State of the State address and budget plan. Included were proposals for using some of bank settlement money for construction of the new Tappan Zee Bridge.
Governor Cuomo unveiled how he would like to spend a one-time windfall of more than $5 billion in bank settlement funds. Here's where he thinks some of it should go.
"We also propose using $1.2 billion of the settlement funds to protect Thruway toll payers for a year for the next year and to help finance the Tappan Zee Bridge."

Cdn source for 6- or 9-cell inserts for propagation trays?
Does anyone know of a Canadian source for the cell-pack inserts for plug trays? What I'm looking for is a re-useable item, in a durable, cleanable, rigid material. The regular black plastic ones are so flimsy and, though I try to treat them carefully, they inevitably split and tear so I can't use them again. Such a waste. More landfill.
I tend to use the 9-cell and 6-cell inserts most. Does anyone know of a Canadian supplier? Any ideas for home-made versions?
Sure - try veseys http://www.veseys.com/ca/en/store/tools/indoorseed/compactplant
and try Lee Valley Tools
Beb - I use the black plastic ones because that's all I can find. I get them by the case from Bradford Co-op. They get them through ITML. Maybe you can check the ITML website to see if they have what you want? They have a dealer list so you can check that to see if there is a dealer near you. Marg
Toilet or paper towel rolls cut down to whatever height you want will fit and work like cells. They're free and decompose in the garden.
Greenhouse growers use the flimsy ones too because they only use them once. It's hard to find harder plastic ones because you have to wash them carefully so they don't transfer possible organisms/problems in future plantings.
Just a thought.

Hi there.
I reset my password, but the password I thought I used is not working. Help desk tickets are going unanswered and for whatever reason there is currently no password recovery in place. When will this be fixed?
I am having the same problem....I can't log in...password worked fine yesterday, but not today....help! And when you try to 'cheat' your way around and say you 'don't remember' your password, it takes you to a screen where you have to enter your password to continue...uggggg!
ugg aversion!
Ok, after cut and pasting from my password program, and retyping...over and over and OVER again, on about the 30th try (not an exaggeration) it finally worked...now how do I change it to something WAY easier to type at least?!!!!
Yes, it is quite ridiculous. The solution to a security issue is not to lock out your entire player base.
You need to fix your password system. It says that it requires between 8 and 30 characters with at least 1 number and one letter yet it won't let me input a 8 character password that meets these requirements.
FIX THIS! I hate long passwords and it is currently something that i may struggle to remember.
This is actually something that may make me stop playing league if i have to always recover my password to get on.
Why i try to log in to the game it show up PVP.net Kernel stop working who know?

The foundation also agreed to disclose its donors online and noted in the statement that it has a "record of transparency that goes above what is required of US charities.
"The gain is attributable to higher shipments coupled with higher selling prices and lower costs," Essar Steel Algoma said in a statement.
With its new computer centres, Foundation will be targeting about 280 villages to provide basic computer education to nearly 900 beneficiaries.
The foundation's goal is to provide a platform for scientists to generate ideas that will contribute to society, but that will also boost jobs," Khandare said.
Roche said it will tender for around 15.6 million Foundation shares at $50 a share, worth up to about $780 million.
As part of the deal, Roche has agreed to spend around $150 million funding FMI's cancer research and development efforts for at least five years.
The IEA raised its demand forecasts for every quarter this year, with the annual 2015 figure bumped up by 100,000 bd to 93.5 mbd.
According to sources, she resigned following differences on some issues with the Commerce Ministry, the nodal agency for the Foundation.

Our first step in extracting more power from our FR-S's FA20 motor was to add an Unorthodox racing crank pulley which went pretty well. Now we are going to take another baby step along the path of bolt on modifications by testing out a Ganador Exhaust system from Japan.

I'm often of the philosophy of replacing things as they wear out. And when they wear out, I might as well upgrade! It all started with a slight banging noise while going over bumps. Over a bit of time, it got progressively worse. Eventually, going over any type of bump including creeping over speed bumps caused a loud banging noise. What was the source?
In the last installment of Project Mustang, we freed up the engine's breathing with an AEM intake. Now we will work on the other end of the car by reducing backpressure with a free flowing ATAK exhaust system from Borla

This episode features the installation of an HKS GT Supercharger to really boost the power under the hood and a CSF radiator to help handle the resulting extra heat. HPS hoses are also featured for their added pressure and thermal capacities. Mike and Taro discuss the selected components in depth while our man Howard handles the install at the MotoIQ megashop.

When thinking of the 24 Heures du Mans that takes place at the fabled Circuit de la Sarthe, Gainesville, Georgia is not the first place that comes to mind. Even though Georgia may conjure associations with the Petit Lemans, a 12-hour enduro that takes place in the fall of each year at Road Atlanta, the storied French endurance event and metro-Atlanta aren't exactly synonymous. Those who fail to make the association between Mulsanne and Gainesville Highway are overlooking a crucial part of Ford's GT racing history, as this is where you will find the current home of Robertson Racing.

I'm sure some of you are curious as to how a 1990 Civic hatch has now become a part of the MotoIQ project car fleet. Others who are fans of the 88-91 model range of Honda front wheel drive cars might be excited to see the old and gold econo car on the pages of this very site. Regardless of your preference, this former grocery getter is going to make a run in the MotoIQ Pacific Tuner Car Championship for 2015, but that wasn't always the plan.

We're stepping back in time a moment to bring you the install of our first horsepower modifications in the form of a Ganador Exhaust and Unorthodox Racing crank pulley.

Our Project Mustang has been doing just fine with its new suspension and tires which have drastically improved the car's handling. With the chassis doing a lot better and with the car's factory Brembo brakes adequate for now, we decided to do the classic Mustang thing and tackle the engine. Our first step will be the addition of an AEM air intake.
Another SEMA has come and gone and the vehicles get crazier and better built every year. Tuner track cars, all-out race cars, off-road vehicles, you name it and it has been taken to the next level. After walking a couple dozen miles fueled by much caffeine, here is just a small collection of a few of the cool things I saw. Please excuse the fuzzy pictures… too much caffeine I tell you.

I'm sure the first question that you are asking yourself is, "What is an Aurora? I thought that was a crappy Oldsmobile!" Well you aren't wrong, but there was also another type of Aurora that was originally manufactured by a Canadian automotive company from 1981-1983 designed to be a limited production replica to the slab-side Shelby AC Cobra.
Project: Fried Turkey
MotoIQ Staff Report
Well, the holiday season is upon us and we decided we were going to cook something MotoIQ style which means it has to be technical and dangerous. What better thing to cook than a fried turkey?

I have a somehow minor problem with my phone. I decided to factory reset my rooted huawei y220 because
-All of a sudden I can't access websites like:
I also can't access their mobile sites. I can't access the said websites from any browser from my phone at the time(Stock browser & Dolphin Browser). There is no problem with my internet connection since I am able to access these websites from my laptop and other handheld devices.
FORTUNATELY, I stumbled upon a browser named UC MINI. I can somehow access these websites but only if I am using its feature call "Speed Mode". If I switch that off I can't access the said websites.
I also factory reset my phone because a person from XDA told me that unfortunately, there is no compatible Custom ROM with my phone.
I don't know why didn't I just Unroot my phone with Kingo Root(The program I used to root my phone). And I also wanted to start from a clean slate and since I deleted the bloatware using titanium backup.
After rebooting from the factory reset I noticed SuperSU was left behind and it said that "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it This is a problem!" Why is that? I did my research that if you factory reset your phone with a custom rom it will cause problems(?) Well fortunately I wasn't using a Custom Rom and I checked my phone with root check to check it whether it is rooted, it isn't rooted anymore after the factory reset.
My doubts are:
>What is causing my phone from accessing these websites(And probably more)
>Is it a virus?
>Did I touch something with the system that made it faulty?
>I was kind of playing around with ROM Installer with the bootloader thing because I thought it would change the boot animation of my phone to something else.
>Is it okay if I root my phone again and see whether the SuperSU issue is fixed and the browsing thing fixed.
My Huawei Y220-U10 is working a smooth as new right now. Actually a bit faster than when I got it fresh because I uninstalled some bloatware when it was still rooted. My real concern is the connectivity issue and the SuperSU issue.
Hope to hear from you guys asap,

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
14 Jan 2014 18:59 GMT | Middle East
Egyptians have been flocking to polling stations across the country as millions of voters in the Arab world's most populous country are urged to participate in a constitutional referendum, the first ballot since the military overthrew Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on July 3.
Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi, who was put in place by the army, called on Egyptians to perform their "national duty" by casting their vote.
Queues of citizens lined at balloting stations that were surrounded by heavy security presence, out of fear that violence may disrupt the polls in which about 53 million people can participate in.Home-grown initiative, Shayfenkom, or "We are Watching you" which tracks violations, told Al Jazeera that the process is going on smoothly. State-run news agency Ahram reported that a couple of judges were dismissed for influencing citizens to vote against the constitution, or blocking voters.
Judges at several polling stations said unofficially that between 25 and 40 percent of registered voters turned out on Tuesday, but those numbers are hardly a representative sample.
While turnout rate is hard to predict, a landslide victory of the army-backed charter is a given, and can spawn to a presidential bid by army chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who led the oust of the first democratically elected president.
The government has pledged "zero tolerance" against any bid to disrupt balloting, with about 200,000 security forces being deployed to protect polling stations, according to local media.
At least 11 people were killed in sporadic clashes outside Cairo between Morsi supporters and police and anti-Morsi groups, security officials said.
The violence highlighted the government's precarious grip on the country, still reeling from Morsi's ouster and a bloody crackdown on his supporters.
An Islamist coalition led by the former president's Muslim Brotherhood had urged protests and a boycott of the two-day vote, which concludes on Wednesday.
But two hours before the balloting started, a bomb exploded near a court in Giza's poor neighbourhood of Imbaba. The attack, which has left no casualties, mirrors the state of violence that has recently gripped the country and exacerbated its worst political division in decades.
Local media also reported that gunmen had fired at a church in Fayoum, south-east of the capital, Cairo. No casualties were reported.
Security forces used tear-gas to disperse rallies in the districts of Giza, Alexandria and Al-Sharkiyah staged by anti-coup protesters, mainly comprising of Brotherhood sympathisers.
Campaigns promoting the charter have drowned out voices criticising it, mostly from anti-coup protesters deeming the text to strengthen state institutions that defied Morsi: the military, the police and the judiciary.
Brotherhood, which was designated as a terrorist organisation by the military-backed leaders, has rejected the proposed constitution and vowed to boycott the referendum.
Hisham Farid, a businessman voting in Mohandiseen said: "Enough. After the last three years, enough. The nation can't continue like this. We need a government that can work on security and the economy. This constitution is good, it is civilian, it is for all Egyptians, not just for the Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood]."
Sisi's presidential bid
Analysts say the referendum is also turning out to be a vote on the popularity of Sisi, the man whose image features on posters across Cairo.
His Islamist foes see Sisi as the mastermind of a coup that kindled the worst internal strife in Egypt's modern history and brought back what critics call a police state.
Live Box 201372283337894564
But many Egyptians are weary of the political upheaval that has gripped Egypt and shattered its economy since they rose up to topple autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, and they view Sisi as a decisive figure who can reinstate stability.
If he runs for president, Sisi is widely expected to win.
Pictures circulating on social media showed groups of citizens carrying posters of Sisi while chanting slogans of support.
Umm Mostafa, a housewife in Agouza, said she's voting yes because of Sisi. "He will unite the nation. Muslims, Christians, we all drink from the Nile. We need a strong man to protect the nation and end the strife."
The vote, set to take place through Wednesday, comes against the backdrop of weeks of violent clashes, which the military-backed government has blamed on Morsi's now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
This will be the third time Egyptians have voted on constitutional arrangements since the historic uprising against Mubarak, a former air force chief, in January 2011, and overall the sixth time they have gone to the polls since his downfall.
The constitution will replace one signed into law by Morsi a little more than a year ago after it was approved in a referendum.
In a leaked audio recording Sisi addressed his handling of the new constitution. In an interview with al-Masri al-youm newspaper, which took place several months ago, he said the entire text should be rewritten, not modified.
He said simply modifying would be to cheat the system.
