House passes market-based student loan bill: Is it a step toward a solution?
The White House has threatened to veto the GOP-backed student loan bill, but supporters say passage invites input from the Senate to arrive at a compromise before rates jump on July 1.
Charles Dharapak/AP/File
Congress took the first step toward making sure student loans aren't another victim of Capitol Hill's 11th-hour brinkmanship on Thursday as the House passed a proposed fix for federally subsidized college loans whose interest rates are set to double come July 1.
The bill, which would peg interest rates for student loans to the 10-year Treasury bond rate, passed 221-198, with four Democrats joining all but eight House Republicans in supporting the measure.
Despite the starkly partisan vote and a White House promise to veto the bill, the House Education and Workforce Committee chairman, Rep. John Kline (R) of Minnesota, argued that the vote helped move Congress toward resolving the issue rather than coming to a stand-off later this summer.
"President Obama asked for a long-term, market-based solution and that is precisely what we have delivered. It is now up to the Senate to move forward with its own ideas to solve the problem, so we can come together and send a bill to the president," Representative Klein said in a statement, referencing Mr. Obama's own student loan plan that resembles the House GOP proposal in some ways.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada has said his chamber will handle similar legislation in the near future, although its prospects for landing on the Senate floor are clouded somewhat by the need to pass a farm bill and immigration legislation in June.
Kline's legislation would add 2.5 percent to the government's rate of borrowing over 10 years for undergraduate loans and 4.5 percent to the same rate for loans taken out by parents or used to fund graduate education. Undergraduate loans would be capped at 8.5 percent, while other loans would go no higher than 10.5 percent.
Today, that would give students a rate slightly below the 3.4 percent the government currently offers but would likely rise well above that level as the economy expands.

Are HOV lanes a good idea? They are controversial, to be sure. Some think that they are essential to disincentivizing traffic and rewarding carpooling. Others think that they are inefficient or infringe too much on liberty. But for those commuters who live in areas with HOV lanes, the practical question is how to adapt. KHOU.com reports on the emergence of one response to HOV lanes: Slugging.
HOUSTON – Would you jump into the car of a stranger? Hundreds of Houstonians do it every morning on the way to work to save time and money.
The phenomenon called "slugging" developed in the northeast and has caught on in Houston over the last few years.
The "sluggers" park at a Metro Park and Ride lot and form a line to get into cars with drivers who are looking for a passenger so they can legally take the HOV.
Slugging seems to have originated, or has been most successful in, the DC area. I think it would be creepy to rely on a commute in a stranger's car (plus, the story doesn't say how they get home). But on the other hand, I kind of like the free market ordering response to regulatory restrictions--when the government creates an HOV lane, the commuters establish a new informal but effective institution, the slugging line.
Matt Festa
There are outbound slug lines in DC in the evening. 14th Street near Constitution Ave. is one popular spot.
Posted by: James Lawlor | Dec 20, 2009 10:03:41 AM
Matt -
When I was with a firm in DC my secretary used to pick up a "slug" each day at the Pentagon Metro station. It shaved considerable time off her hour + commute. I think there is reverse slugging in DC - folks who pick up slugs for the drive home. I, too, always thought it a bit strange to ride to work each morning with a different stranger. I didn't get the impression the slugs and the drivers interacted too much. I think they treated it more like a really tiny Metro car with just one other person inside.
Posted by: Jamie Baker Roskie | Dec 20, 2009 10:14:16 AM
Maybe this is more of a sociology issue than a land use problem. What's the culture of sluggers and of those who acquire them?
Posted by: Matt Festa | Dec 20, 2009 12:59:26 PM
I've been slugging, both behind the wheel and as a rider, for many years. This is a pretty accurate description of the rules:
I would only add that slugs and drivers are usually friendly and helpful to newcomers to the system. And once you've done it a few times, it becomes less weird to give rides to strangers, or take a ride from one. It's a remarkable and valuable system.

Restarting or Rebooting an iOS Device

Q: Although I've previously been able to reboot my new iPad by simultaneously depressing both the home button and volume control, this is no longer working. Is there any other way to do this?
- Sam
A: Actually, to reset your iPad or other iOS device, it's the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons that need to be held down simultaneously; the volume button is not part of this process at all. You need to hold these two buttons down for about ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Note that you should only do an actual reset of your iOS device as a last resort, such as in situations where it's not responding and you can't shut it down normally. Otherwise, Apple recommends that you follow the normal restart sequence: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until you see a red "Slide to Power Off" slider and then slide from left to right to power off your device. Once it has finished powering down, simply press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again to power back on.
Note that a restart is exactly the same as a reset in terms of rebooting your device, however the restart procedure allows the device to shut down gracefully as opposed to stopping everything in its tracks and rebooting immediately. This is the same in concept to shutting down Windows or Mac OS X using the standard shut-down sequence as opposed to using the hardware reset button found on older PCs or simply pulling the plug outright.

Bars & Cafes
»Weinstube Jägerhof
Weinstube Jägerhof, a nice place for a relaxed meal, is located in the vineyards and that makes it all the more special. The warm and cozy interior decor adds to its intimate ambiance. The cuisine is traditional German and has a homely feel to it. There is also a garden where you can wine and dine. You can also buy wine from here.
»Möhringer Hexle
Conveniently located close to the Stuttgart Liederhalle, this restaurant has a great sunroom for cooler weather and one of the nicest (and largest) beergardens in Stuttgart for when the weather is nice. The food on offer is a mix of regional and international specialities, and a special feature is the lava-grill on which signature dishes are prepared. The decor is attractive, designed in a rustic style.
The Peak is a tip-top party spot in the Stuttgart nightlife scene. It's one big location divided into two floors, one larger and one smaller, and each of which offers a slightly different musical mix. Thursday nights feature mainly hip-hop music, with Friday and Saturday nights being dominated by House and Techno beats. Although the club can easily be reached by public transportation, those who are driving should note that parking is available right in front of the club, on the Fabrikstraße.
A place which really cares for the likes and dislikes of its clients and specially made for all those who adore socializing. The party never ends here, quite literally with the provisions for you to stay overnight. There is live music, amazing food, friendly service and great ambiance. They have a huge list of patient visitors, needless to say, what with all the perks and a absolutely unique experience. Cassiopeia is truly an experience in itself.
»Teehaus im Weissenburgpark (Tea House at Weissenburgpark)
One place which is an absolute must when visiting Stuttgart, is the Tea house with its art-nouveau pavilion, restaurant, beer garden, and large garden terrace. Sip your tea while sitting at the terrace and enjoying a view of the pond. Many events are also held at this Tea House since the marble hall below the Tea House can take up to 100 people and they also provide catering.
»LKA - Longhorn
Translated from German, the 'LKA' in the name of this establishment means Longhorn Cultural Exchange. Originally opened in 1984 as a country and western bar, the place was usually packed with US Americans. After the withdraw of US military forces during the 1990s, however, the concept had to be changed and the cultural exchange was born. It is now a disco and concert hall with a mixed program. Wednesday is amateur night, devoted to promoting local talent; Thursday is Classic Oldie night, with music from the 70s and 80s drawing an older crowd; Fridays is grunge, alternative, industrial and freestyle night, with a predominately younger crowd; and Saturday nights features a wide range of musical styles and draws a diverse crowd.
This fairly young restaurant offers food from around the world, so if you're looking for something exotic or unusual you may have found just the right place. The menu is expansive, the decor features old stools and heavy wooden tables, and the crowd is smart and stylish. On summer nights try to get a seat at one of the tables alongside the classy windows. Of special interest, there are about 100 different beers on offer, and if alcohol isn't your thing you can mull over the 35 different kinds of tea or the 10 types of mineral water available.
»Buddha Lounge Red Mandarin
In Stuttgart-Heslach, the Buddha Lounge Red Mandarin offers an exceptionally stylish ambiance on an area of over 2000 square meters. Canopied beds from India and Asian serenity invite guests to stay and enjoy themselves for a while. On Saturdays the Buddha Lounge turns into a vibrant party space with some of the coolest people stopping by. Don't be surprised to find yourself rubbing shoulders with a local celebrity here. This is the place to be until the early hours of morning!
Run by an enterprising lady named Inge Leffhalm, Tortellino has home-made ravioli, tortellini and noodles in all shapes and sizes served with all kinds of sauces. The pasta produced here is very popular and they also deliver to restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. It's hard to stay loyal to Swabian "Spätzle" here, since there are so many authentic Italian treats waiting to be paired with strong, fruity or dry wines. They also provide catering for functions.
»Restoran Shira
Situated in the southern part of Stuttgart city, Restoran Shira has proved to be a huge hit with tourists and locals alike, because of its flavorful cuisine, generously interpersed with exotic spices. Enjoy Kurdish-Turkish specialties and Mediterranean dishes in a relaxed and stylish atmosphere. Main dishes will not burn a hole in your pocket and outside seating is also available to indulge in some street watching.
»Café Galao
Located to the south of the center of Stuttgart, the Café Galao brings the flavors of Portugal to Germany. The ambiance at this bar and cafe is casual and relaxed, making it the perfect place to head to after a day spent laboring in the office or sightseeing. In the evenings, this cafe transforms into a hip bar and plays host to a number of live musical performances by local as well as visiting artists. The food here is a nice and varied blend of Portuguese and local specialties. On offer to drink are, besides the regular coffee blends, the Galao, a Portuguese stimulating drink prepared with espresso and foamed milk. For the beer guzzlers, there are plenty of brews to choose from. It is a perfect place to re-boot and re-vitalize before the day begins all over again.
»Gaststätte Wildwechsel
The restaurant has an elegant look to it with a wooden decor. Delectable Swabian dishes are served at Gaststätte Wildwechsel along with wine and beer. The meat delicacies here are to be savored. Sip the luscious drinks as you enjoy lounging around in the winter garden or the cozy indoors. There is scope for organizing private gatherings as well. The warm ambiance and friendly service make this place hugely popular in the locality

Garden Route Trip
... to do - diving with sharks, bungee jumping, quad bikes to name but three. Additionally if you like to see wildlife or sea life then there are plenty of opportunities - it should be remembered that there is a season for whales which typically runs from May until December. The rest of the year you can sea seals, sharks and dolphins.
The Garden Route is a great place to visit and this first trip has given me an appetite to return later in 2015.

Batsu scratched his head, and smiled with a foolish face, I think I will pass, I come here to search for you, and see if you were okay, if I stay too much I'm gonna have troubles in putting order to my Kingdom, but I'm only a call away, and as he spoke he handed Sabine a small ring, have this with you, if you are in trouble shout my name and I will come rushing to your help, or in the case I'm too busy I will send Ashuras to give you a hand. Batsu greeted the group and with a glimer of silver light he vanished, travelling back to the realm which he now ruled. The ring he handed Sabine was a heavy ornamented piece of jewelry, made in silver and had the shape of a Dragon eating it's own tail, the eye of the dragon that faced up was blue and shined brightly. There were some minor details, such as the gold lacing the claws and fangs and some jewels on the back.

But what is this IPCC, whoseprocess is so labour intensive, time consuming and exhaustive that it takes six years?
The IPCC is an international body whose governing Panel is made up of government members representing 195 countries. But the Assessment Reports the IPCC produces are drawn up by a very large, global group of scientists and experts who contribute their time in drafting and revising and reviewing. These reports bring together the best of the recently published scientific and technical literature, and are intended to be "policy relevant but not policy prescriptive".
The IPCC is organised into three Working Groups and a Task Force. Working Group I deals with "The Physical Science Basis of Climate Change", Working Group II deals with "Climate Change Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability", and Working Group III deals with "Mitigation of Climate Change". The Task Force refines the methodology for the calculation and reporting of national greenhouse gas emissions and reductions. All these groups have two co-chairs, one from a developed country and one from a developing country.
Draft, review, draft, review
Governments and other bodies nominate potential IPCC authors who are experts in their field, and are selected also to try and produce a geographical and gender balance. Groups of around 10-20 experts prepare individual chapters covering their area of expertise. The first step in bringing these chapters together to form an assessment report starts when authors and co-chairs meet to develop a Zero Order Draft, which will take about three months, perhaps involving additions from invited Contributing Authors. The draft is then distributed to a small number of reviewers, who for each chapter provide feedback on how well the structure and proposed content works.
The next step is to prepare a First Order Draft, which is distributed for expert review. At this stage anyone can self-nominate as an "expert", if they can justify their credentials and expertise, and on condition that they agree to adhere to the rule of confidentiality, so there are no leaks of early drafts.
Several months are allowed for expert comments, which are individually identified and linked to the expert offering them. The First Order Draft of Working Group I for forthcoming AR5 report for example received 21,400 comments from 659 experts. The authors respond to each of the comments, and these responses are also tagged and recorded.
A Second Order Draft is prepared based on review comments, including a Summary for Policymakers (SPM) that summarises the most important conclusions. This draft is returned to the experts for another review, and also to government panel members for their comments. The AR5's Second Order Draft for Working Group I received 31,422 comments from about 800 experts and 26 governments.
Tying things together
At this stage we approach the cut-off date for scientific literature that can be cited in the report, usually about six months before the final Plenary meeting where the document is approved.
Authors meet again to consider the comments on the Second Order Draft, and to start preparing the Final Draft. This, once ready, is passed to government members for a final review. The final author meeting is held immediately prior to a Working Group Plenary and responds to government comments on the final draft. The revised draft is then taken into the Working Group Plenary for discussion and, ultimately, approval.
The Summary for Policymakers is discussed and approved line-by-line and, if necessary, word-by-word. Lead Authors explain and defend their chapter's contributions. If there is a dispute, a smaller group may be established to refine the language. The role of the Plenary is to ensure what ends up in the document governments will read is appropriate and clear, but still accurately reflects the science.
The Working Group Plenary will then accept the report made up of the chapters prepared and reviewed by authors and approve the final Summary for Policymakers. This usually happens in the early hours of the morning after the final of four days of tough negotiations between all parties, and generally only a few hours before a scheduled launch press conference.
Is it all worth it?
For more than 20 years the IPCC process has managed to assimilate the rapidly expanding scientific literature about climate change, and summarise it for those that need to know. The interest shown in the IPCC reports illustrates how important these Assessments have been in trying to keep track of and understand what the science tells us. And the unique if longwinded IPCC process – open, transparent, and involving as many relevant parties as possible – is why its work is respected.
The scientists work very hard to explain their levels of confidence in their conclusions, using very defined language to express this confidence. Some may disagree with parts of the IPCC assessment, but at least they will see, laid out for them in clear and formal language exactly how the scientists writing the assessments arrived at their conclusions. I can't see how a fairer, more comprehensive, or more credible alternative could be designed.

Williams Sonoma Bakeware
MquinnOctober 11, 2013
I have some Williams Sonoma "gold tone" bakeware. I really like it though it seems to get the bottom of the bread way to dark. I have the pumpkin loaf pan and the lemon loaf pan. Any ideas or suggestions?
The WS Gold Tone is the only type bake ware I have & I'm surprised to hear you're having problems with it. I think it's wonderful. My baked goods come out beautiful with no overbrowning - ever. That's primarily why I made the decision to invest in the WS product line. I recently just purchased all new after losing my entire bake ware collection to Sandy. I'm sorry you are having some problems. You might want to try calling WS?

Endless summer buds
Now my ES decides to pop it's buds out. They are about the size of a blueberry. I suspect it won't mature. What happened here?
Ken, do you mean what is the shrub? Endless summer hydrangea Bailmer. I did fertilize it a few times prior to August 1. The lower branches protected by snow had some blooms but that's it. Didn't expect the new growth to be delayed this much. This shrub is frustrating : o
Bailey Nurseries Endless Summer series features longer blooming hydrangeas. First introduction 'Bailmer' is marketed using [Endless Summer] The Original trade name, probably because it was the start of the Endless line everyone thinks it is called Endless Summer.
Since 'Bailmer' came out several others have been added, all of them Endless Summer hydrangeas.
The "reblooming" quality of these hydrangeas comes from their ability to develop flowers on both old (previous season's) growth and new (current growing season) growth. In colder climates, the latent flower buds on the old growth that develop in late summer or early fall are often seriously damaged/destroyed by winter cold. The result is that you miss the early (old growth) flowering but the plant can still produce blossoms from the current season's growth.
In long warm summers, these reblooming hydrangeas can continue to produce flower buds until they are cut back by cold weather, often fall frosts. How well these flower buds may mature and actually bloom is entirely dependent on your weather going forward :-)) I too wouldn't expect to see much happening now.
If you visit the Hydrangea forum you will find countless threads in the archives that discuss the unreliability of the flowering of this hydrangea. Unless winter protected, the flowering on older growth is nearly always ruined and flowering on new growth is often sporadic and delayed. My suggestion is that you treat these the same way you would any typically nonremontant Hydrangea macrophylla in zones 6 and below and offer winter protection. That seems the only way to ensure any sort of reliable flower production.
Kind of opposite the intent the breeder was trying to achieve, unfortunately.

3' shrub for this area...
Since this is at the main side entrance to our home. My husband doesn't wish for something flanking the right of the yellow junk art flower to be anything but a shrub that will have structure and not a bare area in our hardscape as the left side is when the Hibiscus Rose Mallow hasn't show up yet.
Space 6' deep by 4'wide basically. Something later in bloom possibly since I have a snow fountain weeping cherry down from that area in the same bed. As well as a SEM False Spirea and an American Wisteria tree trained. But since the cherry is an early bloomer...if it's something that blooms...maybe something later on in the season. For additional color there.
The reason for 3' tall is so it doesn't block our house number on the oar. I would be okay with I think...even a shrub that didn't bloom if it had a pretty variegated leaf. I also would hope to have it eventually cover part of the rock that is also there in time.
Contemplated a Euonymus variety...having the variegated yellow leaf to go along with the yellow metal flower. But wasn't sure I might be over looking something that would work better for us that I don't know about.
is that a snow load area??? .. do they low the street/driveway ???
frankly.. no shrub ever stops growing.. you eaither need one that can be cut to the ground once a year ...
or a perennial that can also be cut down
is that a sidewalk behind.. or a water course
what about a clem for the pole ... or an annual vine ... you can use bird netting or twine to get such up .. with the understanding that some lineman may come along and tear it down.. if he has to ...
seems like you could grow some nice daylily in the rock.. a near bulletproof plant .. and you couldnt kill if you tried ...
It is a plowed one lane lake road, thus why everything is not planted in middle of the bed but set back from it so it has room to grow but will not exceed the boundaries of the sidewalk. With plenty of room for a snow bank from the roads being plowed. We ended up taking our stone along the side of road after it was paved...which makes a cleaner look. We had to establish the flowerbed along the house..after they paved the roads. Instead of the roads washing out on a heavy rain...the ditch now no longer holds the rainwater and was eroding the edge of our yard into deep washed out areas.
Lived here 23 years...we have set the plants far enough back from the road to allow for snow plowed banks.
We just put the house number on the deck recently...since we are the only house on the road. We never really thought it necessary. But...the UPS and FedEX man was complaining. (I purchase most our Christmas stuff online) So the oar went up. Living at the lake...it find it an appropriate house number display. So I am not sure I am ready to move it.
I am fine with pruning...doesn't bother me in the least. I will contemplate the pole idea. Though...I was told not to plant anything on it. A vine isn't that expensive of a set back to lose if they would have to tear it down.
Once everything matures a bit more...so I see where the beds need filler...I plan on adding such things as perennial flowers...So the day lilies are a great suggestion. Thanks!
Ken, I suggested planting a vine up the pole. My husband didn't go for the idea. He is a general contractor...our electric and phone line are on that pole. He plans on painting the service boxes a red color to match what is an accent color to our home. But...no vines of any kind.
Last thing he wants to do, is irritate anyone he has to later cross paths with when it comes to work. He also knows the head guy with the phone company. He would not do that to him...he said. Lol so I get the boxes painted and leaving it at that. That he attached the flag pole was as daring as he was going to go.
I did appreciate the suggestion...but, I do see my husbands point as well.

Officials: Gov't to issue new oil moratorium
Published: Monday, July 12, 2010 at 2:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 12, 2010 at 2:20 p.m.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will issue a new revised moratorium on offshore drilling Monday, two administration officials told The Associated Press.
Both officials requested anonymity so as not to pre-empt the official announcement.
Last week, a federal appeals court rejected the government's effort to restore its initial offshore deep water drilling moratorium, which halted the approval of any new permits for deep water projects and suspended drilling on 33 exploratory wells. That moratorium, issued following the catastrophic Gulf oil spill in April, was first rejected last month by U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman.
"If some drilling equipment parts are flawed, is it rational to say all are?" Feldman asked. "Are all airplanes a danger because one was? All oil tankers like Exxon Valdez? All trains? All mines? That sort of thinking seems heavy-handed, and rather overbearing."
He said the moratorium "seems to assume that because one rig failed and although no one yet fully knows why, all companies and rigs drilling new wells over 500 feet also universally present an imminent danger."
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said at the time that he would issue a new deep water drilling moratorium that could be refined to reflect offshore conditions and allow drilling in areas where reserves and risks are known rather than in exploratory reservoirs.
In its appeal, the Interior Department asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to let the temporary ban stand until it ruled on the merits of the case.

Mismatched Granite Seam over Dishwasher--Need Advice
I hired a pre-fab granite company to install my granite. I told them I didn't want the seam to the left of the sink because that is where I do all my prep work. They ended up putting the seam, unsupported, above the dishwasher. There is about 14 inches of unsupported stone on one side. If my 5 year old were to climb on the counter to get a plate in the upper cabinet, it could snap. In addition, the matching job is horrible.
Also the undermount sink is not well-supported--no glue, you can see light through the front of my sink cabinet into the sink. There is nothing holding the sink up in back on the 40% side. Finally, they didn't insert shims in the front of the sink, and there is up to a 3/16" gap between the stone and the cabinet, so I think if I set a heavy pot of water on the front of the sink, it could crack. The question now is, what do I do?
I paid half up front, but after my contractor who built the rest of the kitchen told me about the bad installation job, I stopped payment on the check for the other half. When I went to the installer and asked them to fix the work, they told me there was nothing they could do now and that my contractor could find ways to support the seam over the dishwasher. They also told me the match job was normal. And they only offered to place some caulk in the front of my sink to fill in that 3/16" gap.
Advice? Fire the installer--have them pull their granite and demand my money back? Hire another company to fix the issues (except for the mismatch)?
Sorry for the sideways picture.
Yes, it's completely unacceptable, but other than going to a better fabricator for 2x the price (and skill set) there isn't a lot that can really be done. Prefab is low price and low skill. Which should have led to low expectations on your part. You're not gonna get any better with that material and fabricator. If you can have them remove it, you'll at least have a clean slate for a different counter. Even laminate would be a step up.
I'm posting a picture of the sink gap--you can see the light through the counter. There is only a silicone bead between the sink and the stone. In the back, there is nothing supporting the 40% sink side. The 60% side is held up by the back of the sink cabinet. The gap is a little harder to see because it is dark. I will post another picture, as requested of most of the sink.
Too bad you paid by check. That is so ridiculous that I doubt they will be cooperative and just give your money back. I would go that route though and ask them to refund then remove. You might have to go to small claims though, and see if they care about BBB.
Did they have a showroom? I' m not sure all prefab has to be a disaster. Maybe just a bad or inexperienced company. How did you hear of them?
That particular stone pattern also might be a problem with prefab where seams are involved. Not sure exactly how it all works.
Here is a picture of the sink, dishwasher, and the seam. I thought the cost savings was mostly in the pre-fab granite. Even low budget installer, though, should have known better than to put an unsupported seam over a dishwasher. When we set up the installation, the owner of the company only told me it would be harder to put a seam there. There was no warning about the lack of support.
But I've learned my lesson, and if I can get these installers to take their granite out and refund my money, I am willing to pay for professionals to do the job next time. And wait another 3 weeks for a functioning kitchen, I think.
Just curious, but didn't they put plywood down before they put in the stone? Just had two kitchen remodels (using quartz, not granite). They put in plywood, made a pattern for the sink and cut it out, installed the sink on the plywood, then installed the stone over. There's an edge at the front that hides the plywood.
One of the luxuries of self-employment is the ability to refuse to do what the customer wants. I would not let a customer dictate seam placement, however, I would present alternatives.
On a low-budget job, there is little selection for seam match "shopping". If you want the luxury of a nice seam match, you need several slabs from which to choose and there may be waste which the customer has to pay for. Considering the price and selection parameters, it is unfair to blame the fabricator for the seam match. He probably did the best he could with the budget and material he was given.
If there is a cleat on the wall behind the dishwasher and a support adhered below the seam, there isn't a 5-year-old on earth that's going to break that stone without a sledgehammer.
Remove the sink and silicone. Install a Hercules Universal Sink Harness and reinstall with new silicone. The HUSH essentially turns your sink into a 10" deep truss, so you won't have to worry about support/gaps at the front cabinet rail. The sink must not be allowed to leak because if the stone has been improperly "rodded" the leak can rust the rod and burst the stone. I've repaired several of these; it ain't pretty or inexpensive.
Diane, this company should know enough about their own business not to ill-advise you on the seam and to not sell a stone pattern that can't be reasonably matched/attractive.
Yikes that does not look good. Well sometimes seams can be stronger that the actual stone, so I wouldn't think it will break if you put any pressure on it. BUT, since you have several other issues going on there I wouldn't trust anything about that job. Sadly you might have start over to get what you want.
I must see things a little differently...
The picture far away doesn't look bad (as far as the seam goes) - granite has character and that character doesn't guarantee the seam will look perfect and flow perfectly.
You told the guy you didn't want the seam where you do your prep work. Did he tell you where he was going to put the seam then? If not, then how is it his fault where the seam is? I don't know how many granite slabs you bought but sometimes fab. can only cut so much in order for layouts to fit on one slab.
The gap under the sink is barely noticeable. I would just have them caulk it so water doesn't seep out.
I think it looks fine. Granite with movement is always more noticeable where seems are then granite that is uniform.
It sounds like you got what you paid for.
I hired the cheapest guy when I got granite and it turned out fine. Sure, I could have nitpicked every little thing I didn't consider to be "perfect" but I didn't.
Thanks for all your advice. Everything I've read says not to put a seam over a dishwasher. Trying to put support in from the back might help the support issue. I've talked various options with my contractor, and gone to another fabricator who said he could groove the rock underneath and insert 1/4" dowels to support the seam.
I didn't expect a perfect match on the seam, but it looks like it is almost a perfect mis-match--light meets dark. Since we had 2 slabs, and there was a lot leftover (which they took away without asking), they could have tried harder to match the seam.
I'm not sure how you would remove the sink without cutting more of the cabinet beneath it. They drilled in pieces of wood on either side to support it, and those could be removed. The sink sits a little on the front and back on the 60% side, but the 40% side is not held up in the back. Maybe it could be taken out and the harness installed.
I am going to run down costs today to start over, and then send a request to remove the countertops to the first company and a request for my money back. I hope I am successful.
Yes, with two slabs they should have tried harder to match up where the seam went along with a safer place to put the seam. They probably are going to try and reuse the remnant pieces to make $$$...
I hope it all works out for you. If you're that unhappy then hopefully they'll remove it (without any cabinet damage) and return your money. Then you can start from scratch. Post some pics if you get new slabs installed :)
Good luck
I did get most of my money refunded, and they came and removed the counters yesterday. The non-refunded part was to pay for the bathroom vanity I used leftover stone to do, and was done fine, and to pay for the kitchen sink, which they left. I will post pictures when it's redone--in about 3 weeks. Thanks for all the advice I got here.
This really scares me. I'm going to pick out slabs today, and I believe we are using the same color (River White?). Seeing how awful that seam looked makes me very nervous!
Mine won't be pre-fab, so I'm hoping for a much better outcome.
I'm glad you were able to be refunded, but sorry you've got to start the process all over again. I've only been w/o a functional kitchen for 4 days, and it's already driving me bonkers :o
Errant, as many posts on GW attest, don't assume that you will be getting a good outcome simply because you are not using pre-fab. Be informed ... ask questions, check references, see examples of their work (edges, seaming, sink cut-outs, etc.), read the contract, etc.
"see examples of their work"
Excellent point. There seems to be a lot of problems lately with people being disappointed in their granite fabrication. I have to really hold back in posting things like "did you see examples of their seams? did you discuss the edge? Did you see this or that? Did you pick out the slab, the layout? Did you bring samples home to test and to see how it looked in your house" etc.
You should ask for references and actually go see installed granite in a home.
I actually asked our salesperson (yard and fabricator, all in one shop) if we took the longest and was the most PITAs. She laughed and said No of course. I visited the shop 4 or 5 times. I had numerous samples I kept for months. I saw granite in their showroom on each visit. I saw granite installed in a home. It was actually a friend of mine who had used the place but if I had not seen hers I would have asked for a reference and asked to see the installed granite. I called repeatedly and asked lots of questions, even speaking to the owner. Reviewed the contract in detail. I spoke at length with the templater and then the installers. Watched every move. BTW I visited and got estimates from eight different shops before choosing the one we used.
Maybe this was done before....but a thread on how to purchase granite might be in order. Starting at the beginning....how to find a fabricator, what to ask for, what to expect, etc.
How we handled the granite decision is how we handle EVERY decision. I know most people (not all) that I know IRL say they just don't have the time or patience to spend the time we do on these things. But they are the ones who call us when they need advise.

This week it was announced that Fianna Fail will put off taking a decision on the abortion bill for at least another two weeks. A parliamentary party meeting on the bill had been split 50/50 on the issue.
The leadership had wanted to support the government's abortion bill, but a decision has been put back until after Health Committee hearings on the legislation. They are scheduled to take place in a fortnight.
Why rush lads? It's not like your directly affected or a woman, is it?
Whether it's emigration, the economy, austerity measures, bank solvency or the national guarantee, the history of trauma that has beset the nation since its birth has worked out very well for the ambitions of center right politicians with a visionary agenda of stalemate.

Cotoneaster questions
I was in Charlotte yesterday visiting and bought a 1 gallon cotoneaster plant at a local nursery.
The plants in the three gallon container were huge and had red berries.
The one I bought in the one gallon pot had no berries.
The tag had cotoneaster on it- no variety of it mentioned.
I assume it was propagated on site.
Will I get berries next year or does the cotoneaster come in both male and female and I may have bought a male?
More than likely it just wasn't big enough to bloom, so no berries this year. Some bushes are pretty picky about living in pots. They are not sexed like hollies as far as I can tell, they are related to other rose family shrubs like Pyracanthea, hawthornes, etc..
I doubt the nursery bothered with propagating them. It is usually cheaper for them to buy them in and just grow them for one season and sell them then to take the years it would take to size them up.

I just heard from a friend that he boils all his grains during a partial mash, leaving them in the kettle for the entire 60 minutes after crushing. Does this sound advisable to you? Everything I have read says not to boil grains.
I have never heard of boiling grains on purpose, but I have never done a partial mash batch. I just wanted to check with the experts out there on this issue.
I have read recipes that suggest to do this but I assumed the person who wrote it was ignorant to the effects.How to Brew - By John Palmer - Common Off-Flavors
You may find a few recipes like this in "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing"
Wow, so Palmer and Papazian are at odds here. Very interesting.
On deck: Little Bo Pils, Bretta Off Dead (Brett pale)
Secondary: Oude Bruin, Red Sky at Morning (Sour brown ale)
On tap: Saison Duphunk (sour), Amarillo Slim (IPA), Earl White (ginger/bergamot wit)
Bottled: Number 8 (Belgian Strong Dark Ale), Eternale (Barleywine), Ancho Villa (Ancho/pasilla/chocolate/cinnamon RIS), Oak smoked porter (1/2 maple bourbon oaked, 1/2 apple brandy oaked)
I think many people on this forum would say not to boil the grains. They know that it will result in astringent off flavors. Most of them don't know this from experience, they know it because they have read it in articles written by authors they trust, and/or they have been told it by brewers they trust. I wonder how those authors/brewers "know"
I am different. I made a brew this way back in the 1970's, and I honestly cannot say that I detected any astringency in that brew.
However, I only did it once, and would never do it again; not because it is necessarily wrong, but because it may cause problems, and it is so easy to avoid the possibility.
Having said I'll never do it again, I'll be doing a decoction mash sometime within the next month or so, and that involves boiling the grains.
Boiling grains will extract tannins from the husks making the beer astringent. Think sucking on a tea bag.
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
