Yale University Guidelines for Making Buildings Accessible to Persons Who Have Disabilities Revised: June 1, 2007 These Guidelines, prepared by the Provost's Advisory Committee on Resources for Students and Employees with Disabilities, are intended for the use of University planners, architects, engineers, and consultants who design, construct, renovate, and manage facilities projects. Their purpose is two fold: first, to clarify some of the ambiguities or inconsistencies found in the various applicable codes including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), the Connecticut State Building Code which incorporates by reference the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A117.1; and second, to present additional design guidelines that Yale University has elected to adopt based on the practical experience of the University population as regards accessibility and the physical nature of its uniquely historic campus settings. The Guidelines provide additional considerations for the University's projects and are meant to be supplemental, not to reduce the requirements already in place through applicable codes. The Guidelines were first developed in 1994 after careful consideration of the practical experiences students and employees with disabilities have shared with Committee members regarding access to the University's facilities and its programs, services and activities. The Guidelines are intended to promote the objective of the fully integrated participation of people with disabilities at the University. These revised Guidelines are to be reviewed, amended as required, and approved annually by the Provost's Advisory Committee on Resources for Students and Employees with Disabilities. Departures from these Guidelines should be discussed with the Committee. The Committee welcomes comments from the Yale Community and ideas about ways to improve the application of the guidelines.

PATHWAYS Objective: To provide access routes throughout the Campus that support the use by all Community members and guests. Identify main and secondary routes to the building – both pedestrian and vehicular - and provide accessible routes at the main and secondary routes. 1. All exterior pathways should be as level and smooth as possible to best accommodate the movement of mobility devices and to reduce tripping hazards for sight impaired users and those using walking assistance devices. a. Where possible, concrete finished pathways are preferred. b. When using a stone walk, a concrete base should be used rather than a sand or loose screen base. c. Additionally, a maximum of half-inch mortar joints is preferred to minimize the "rutting" of wheels on mobility devices. 2. Provide an accessible route for mobility device users when interior access exists for movement between buildings for non-wheelchair users. Application: In a residential college, a wheelchair user should not have to go outside to get to a dining hall when other students have access via an interior route. 3. Address potential drainage problems that cause puddles of water or form icy areas along accessible paths with particular attention to accessible building entries and curb cuts at crosswalks. a. Provide a cross pitch for drainage perpendicular to pathways and sidewalks within the range of 1/8" per foot to 1/4" per foot. b. Use freeze-free drains. c. Slope accessible paths away from entry doors within the range of 1/8" per foot to 1/4" per foot. d. Ensure exterior path finish materials meet slip coefficient standards. 4. New curb cuts and crosswalks should be positioned so that all pathways allow a mobility device user to follow established and predicted traffic patterns set by pedestrians. B. PARKING Objective: To provide reasonably convenient access to buildings and other destinations throughout the Campus that support the use by all Community members and guests. 1. When a new building is constructed, or when an existing building renovated and made accessible, the issue of accessible automobile parking for wheelchair users should be reviewed. Code minimum allocation of accessible parking is required with attention to proximity to building entry doors. 2. Parking lots or off-the-street spaces are the preferred solutions for accessible parking. If such a space is not reasonably adjacent to a building, accessible street parking must be considered. Such Rev. 5/02/07 3 parking must be located as close as possible to a curb cut in order to avoid lengthy travel distances in the street or in parking lots. 3. Accessible parking must include the code required allocation of lift-equipped van spaces. Vans often have lifts which, when in use, open to the traffic side. One-way streets present a different safety consideration, so in such conditions, parking spaces should be available on both sides of the street in order to provide safe use. C. RAMPS Objective: To provide convenient access throughout the campus with a minimal need for ramps, especially for building access. 1. Gradual slopes equal to or less than 1:20 are preferred to steeper ramps with railings. Exterior ramps between 1:12 and 1:20 slope require railings. Such railings should be designed to prohibit the securing of bicycles. Design should allow for ample width for turning and passing traffic. The landings should be distanced so as to avoid long rises without breaks. 2. Ramps should not be made of wood. They should be constructed of permanent and durable materials, be easy to clean and clear off snow during the winter. 3. Covering an outdoor ramp should be considered, if architecturally appropriate, in order to protect both the ramp and its users from severe weather. D. STAIRS Objective: When provided, stairs should be as negotiable as possible for those with limited mobility. 1. All stairs, even those with fewer than three risers, both inside and outside buildings, should have hand railings on both sides. 2. Stairs should be avoided on primary routes wherever possible. 3. It is preferred that the main entry to all buildings serve all those using the building. Whenever possible, it is preferred that a steep grade requiring steps to the main entry be avoided. When unavoidable, provide code required slopes (preferred) or ramps (if necessary, See C.1) for accessibility. E. ELEVATORS Objective: Elevators should be consistently equipped for ease of operation by all users. 1. Code requires that an audible signal announce the position of the elevator car. An automatic voice announcement is preferred when this does not interfere with the primary functions of the building. 2. Areas of refuge must be designated and identified at each floor not directly accessible to an exterior exit, and have a way to communicate for assistance, e.g. a telephone. These areas are to be used in case of emergencies such as fire and must be kept clear. Rev. 5/02/07 4 3. If existing elevator sizes in a renovated building are such that they cannot accommodate an interior wheel chair turning radius, then a modified cab must be considered, having two doors at opposite ends and/or duplicate interior controls. Rev. 5/02/07 5 F. LIFTS Objective: Lifts are only used if all other means of achieving grade changes have been deemed unreasonable. 1. Wheelchair lifts are not allowed to be installed in new construction. 2. To date the University's experience with platform or wheelchair lifts has not been positive. They can be difficult to operate, they breakdown frequently, are inadequately maintained, and some cannot accommodate heavier, electric wheelchairs and scooters. Therefore, they should be installed only after all other alternatives have been explored and ruled out. Un-protected exterior lifts should never be used. 3. All lifts should have signs that explain how to operate the lift, identify a contact person for assistance to use the lift when necessary, and display an emergency number in case the contact person is unavailable. However, wheelchair users should be able to operate lifts without their having to call for assistance. G. DOORS Objective: Doors should be designed to meet code requirements so as not to hinder ease of movement into and through a building. 1. Main entrances and building vestibule doorways should have automatic door openers per Yale Standards. 2. All new buildings must have 36" wide doors as a minimum. Doors being renovated in existing buildings should also be 36" wide to provide required clearances for mobility devices. When this is not possible, then minimum ADA opening clearances must be maintained. 3. In accessible student rooms, door security peepholes should be placed at the eye level of a sitting person (46") as well as at the eye level of someone who is standing. 4. Eliminate thresholds/sill plates under doorways where possible in renovations. When unavoidable, minimize transition height to the minimum possible H. ENTRANCES TO BUILDINGS Objective: Entrances to buildings should be accessible to all users of the facility. 1. The main entrance to a building must be accessible to all in new construction. 2. Other ground floor entrances should also be accessible. Renovated or altered existing facilities should also attempt to provide accessibility through the main entrance. A side or rear entrance can not be the only accessible entrance unless it can be demonstrated to the Committee that accessibility through the main entry can not be reasonably accomplished. In such cases, the side or rear entry should terminate in the same interior lobby or entry hall as the main entry. Additionally, the accessible path around the main entry must be clearly marked and originate from a common point in front of the main entry. The entrance and corridor path should not be configured in such a Rev. 5/02/07 6 way as to present as a service path. Access that requires the assistance of others, such as ringing a doorbell for service, is unacceptable. 3. Automatic doors should be used at main entrances to all buildings. If the entry can accommodate it, adjacent to the dedicated automatic door, an un-automated door(s) should be provided. 4. Attention should be paid to code required door opening sequences and paths of approach. 5. Snow and ice can make an otherwise accessible entrance dangerous to all, and inaccessible to a wheelchair user. If cost effective, an automatic snow melting system should be considered for installation at main building entrances as part of renovation projects and new construction. If architecturally appropriate, covered entrances should be considered as another way of keeping entrances free of ice and snow. 6. Floor mats should be placed inside at building entrances to reduce slippery floors. Surface mounted mats may present barriers or bumps to wheelchair users. When possible, mats should be recessed into the floor so that the adjacent surfaces are level with each other. Walk-off mats also control dirt and dust infiltration into the building which impacts the air quality of the space. 7. Landings with an entry door at the top of both stairs and a ramp should be wider than the minimum wheel chair turning radius. New ramps reaching these upper landings are often designed perpendicular to the axis of the entry stairs and doors. In such situations, turning to open the door exposes the wheelchair user's back to the flight of stairs, especially when the user has to also back away from the door swing. Locating the doors in protected areas, installing railings or providing a more generous landing depth should be considered to address the danger of a wheelchair rolling backwards down the stairs. I. TOILET FACILITIES Objective: Provide toilet facilities that are user-friendly to the entire community. 1. Accessible toilet facilities should be located in convenient areas of buildings, ideally with other public restrooms. Public restrooms should be clearly identified with respect to accessibility and type- unisex, women, men. When the accessible restroom is not located adjacent to other restrooms, directions to the accessible restrooms should be clearly posted. 2. Toilet stall door latches should be easy to grasp with one hand and should not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist to operate. Doors in wheelchair accessible stalls should have pull handles near the hinge side of the door. 3. Where possible, single accessible toilet rooms should have doors that swing outward. The swing of the door should be such that in the event of someone falling and requiring assistance access can be gained without obstruction. 4. There should be a shelf or several hooks in the restroom where packages, garments, purses, backpacks, etc., can be placed. One hook should be placed at 46", reachable from a sitting position. Some people are unable to retrieve items up from the floor. Rev. 5/02/07 7 5. In large public buildings such as a museum, concert hall or sports stadium, it is helpful to have at least one accessible unisex restroom which will allow an attendant of the opposite sex to assist a wheelchair user. 6. The lighting levels inside the ADA stall should be equal to that of the main restroom area. 7. Permanent fixtures such as soap and towel dispensers, and trash containers should be positioned within reach of a person using a wheelchair and should not obstruct wheelchair movement. J. CLASSROOM, ASSEMBLY, AUDITORIUM, AND STADIUM AREAS Objective: Seating and use of all facilities should be designed so to respectably accommodate all users . 1. Classrooms and other assembly areas should be designed to provide integrated seating for wheelchair users with a variety of seating options, which permit them to be seated with friends or guests who do not use wheelchairs. When permanently affixed seating is required, the option of mechanically removing segments of seating should be minimized. It is preferred to have allocated loose seating that can be removed with minimal disruption. 2. In a classroom and auditorium where fixed seating is required, the perimeter of the room should have aisle clearances equal in width to that of the wheelchair turning diameter, at least 5ft. wide. When such classrooms also have fixed tables or tablets, one or two seating areas with free, separated chairs and tables should be provided. 3. In classrooms with tables, at least one should have an ADA specified knee clearances in order to accommodate a large wheelchair. 4. Wheelchair seating locations should be identified with signs. 5. Projector screens should be able to be operated from a seated position. 6. Instructor tables, lecterns, and/or desks should be accessible and accommodate various heights. They should be accessible to persons who must be seated when they lecture by providing a 60 in. minimum turning radius behind any fixed counter, lectern, or furniture. All electronic devices should be accessible from a seated position and have handheld remote controls. 7. A floor level speaking area is preferable to a raised podium, or stage in tiered assembly rooms. Ramps, not wheelchair lifts, should be used to provide access to different levels of the auditorium including the stage level. Wheelchair lifts accessing a podium must not be used in new construction. 8. Wheelchair users should be able to enter and exit along the same primary routes as non- wheelchair users. 9. Consult with the Resource Office on Disabilities about the type of assisted listening systems to be installed in classrooms and assembly areas. Rev. 5/02/07 8 K. DINING AREAS Objective: Seating and use of Dining Halls should be designed so to respectably accommodate all users . 1. Provide a wheelchair accessible route to all service areas. Provide at least 36" clearances to maneuver between occupied tables and chairs. 2. Tables and chairs should not be permanently fixed to the floor. 3. At least two tables should have ADA specified knee clearance to accommodate large wheelchairs. L. LIVING QUARTERS Objective: Identified Living Quarters should be designed to comfortably house those needing special accommodation. 1. The principles of Universal Design are important in planning all living quarters on campus. Accessibility should be considered from both the occupants and the visitor's point of experience. 2. A range of accessible housing options and types should be offered. For example, a residential college should not have only single rooms available to students with disabilities. 3. Controlling the temperature of accessible living quarters should be considered since the inability of one's body to adjust to extremes of temperature is a characteristic of certain disabilities. 4. Accessible rooms should provide specific electrical outlets for recharging batteries and other aids for living that are convenient to the user. Some outlets should be located above the heights of desks/chairs etc. so as to be easily accessible from a seated wheelchair position without having to move furniture. 5. Accessible room furnishings (desk, table and chairs) should be adjustable. 6. Accessible room lighting fixtures should be rated for 100-150 watt bulbs. Lighting fixture switches should be easily accessible at primary entrances, hallways and all rooms, and they should be able to be operated with a closed fist. 7. Secured storage should be available in the building for durable medical equipment. 8. Accessible closet space should offer adjustable height rods and shelves. 9. Bathrooms associated with accessible living quarters should offer roll in showers, adjustable height mirrors and shelving, and sinks with lever style handles. Where possible, accessible shower stalls should eliminate any curbs or floor transitions between the wet shower floor and the rest of the bathroom. A flip-down seat should be provided as some wheel-chair users cannot allow their chairs to get wet and will require this transfer seat option. The seat and all shower controls should be positioned so as to be within easy reach of someone using the shower from a seated position on a flip-down seat or in a shower chair. Rev. 5/02/07 9 10. All doors to accessible suites should be adaptable to automation. 11. Accessible toilet facilities located in potentially remote areas should not only have the required emergency alarms outside the toilet, but also a secondary alarm located in an area where the call for assistance will be clearly noticed at all times of the day. 12. Rooms should have the capability for visual or tactile fire alarms to be installed in order to supplement audio alarms. Rev. 5/02/07 10

In his testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, Intel Executive Vice President Leslie Vadasz courageously spoke out against the Hollywood moguls who are asking Congress make copy controls mandatory in all new technologies. Vadasz expressed skepticism of the demands of copyright industries, which he said "historically feared technology -- from the advent of sound recording, to the development of the VCR, the DVD, the PC, and other digital devices". He explained that innovation must not be sacrificed in an impossible quest to lock down every tool that might be used for infringement.
[Note this is a restriction on some businesses for the benefit of OTHER BUSINESSES. The businesses who would be subject to this restriction obviously don't like that]
By contrast, a March 19 joint statement by Intel Corporation and AOL Time Warner suggests a disappointing change of heart by Intel. The "AOL Time Warner -- Intel Joint Statement of Principles" envisions a world in which corporate negotiations decide consumers' rights, and government outlaws devices falling outside a "consensus" imposed by Hollywood at lawyer-point. According to the joint statement, "The goal of these efforts is to create an overall architecture for protecting digital content throughout its distribution life so that it does not 'leak' out in an unprotected manner" -- with the result that copyright holders shape the digital architecture of the future, retaining the power to control your use of the movies, music and books you buy.

Distribution obviously android.
You do not make sense, a phone that just makes calls doesn't need an OS as complex as this. This OS is needed ONLY for smart phones. You might as well ask for a ferrari to put their engines into mopeds. No moped needs a 800 horse power en... I WANT ONE!
Just what we need...the average cell phone user having to decide wheater [sic] or not something they are about to install is nefarious.
Mama's gonna check out all your applications for you, mama won't let anything dirty get through, mama gonna keep baby cozy and warm...
The point is, every user knows exactly what the application can do, and the application can be denied at the API-level by the OS from accessing to those features. Android, like BlackBerry and Symbian, treats users like grown-ups who are capable of making decisions about whom they can trust, and just how much trust they can afford to those vendors.
If your cell phone spams everyone you know, it's because you installed an unvetted application, let it access everything it asked for, and ran the application. Way to go, Einstein.

Preds' Hornqvist suffers upper-body injury, won't return
Nov 23, 2013, 9:00 PM EDT
Nashville Predators forward Patric Hornqvist suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's game against the New York Rangers and won't return, according to Preds radio host Willy Daunic.
That's a tough break, as the 26-year-old Swede is often a key part of the Predators offense … when he's not injured. He missed 14 games with upper-body injuries and 10 more with a knee issue in 2012-13 alone, according to the Hockey News' listings.
When Hornqvist is healthy, he can be productive. He has 13 points in 22 games, with three of his six goals being game-winners this season.
Nashville must hope that this is just a minor issue for Hornqvist, then.

Originally written on Packer Update | Last updated 11/16/14
Veteran Evan Dietrich-Smith wasn't really challenged in his first start at center The Packers benched center Jeff Saturday in favor of Evan Dietrich-Smith prior to last Sunday's game. After re-watching every play, I still have no idea whether the move will make the offensive line better heading into the playoffs. That's because the Titans were so awful on defense that Green Bay could've scored 40 points with assistant coach James Campen hiking the ball. And trust me, that's only a slight exaggeration. In pass protection, guards T.J. Lang and Josh Sitton were so dominant that Dietrich-Smith oftentimes had nobody to block. He would occasionally offer some assistance, but it was seldom needed against overmatched defensive tackles Jurrell Casey and Se'Derrick Marks. In the run game, EDS provided better push on double teams and was slightly more effective making blocks on the second level. There were times, however, when the three-year veteran from Idaho State looked a bit confused as to which defender to engage. In those instances, he pretty much just flailed about aimlessly until the play was over. All in all, I thought Dietrich-Smith did OK in his first start at center. But I'll reserve further judgment until I see him line up against better competition. That should come this week against the Vikings. While defensive tackles Kevin Williams, Letroy Guion, Christian Ballard and Fred Evans are hardly a fearsome foursome, they are an athletic group of veterans who play fast indoors. If EDS holds up as well as he did last Sunday, I'll feel a lot better about the state of the O-line heading into the second season.

In our product, we're using the most recent development version of jQuery Mobile in our ASP.NET website. Each and every time we do an ASP.NET postback, the browser window goes to the back of the screen.
- Maximize any window. Example: Visual Studio, Word, Windows Explorer.
- Maximize IE9 over it. IE9 is the only thing you see on the screen.
- Click on a button in our solution that does a postback.
- IE9 is no longer visible. Whatever was behind it now has focus (and fills the screen, as it is maximized)
Only workarounds I know:
- Don't include the jQuery mobile scripts.
- Ensure IE9 is the only maximized window in Windows.
I don't know what jQuery Mobile is doing in the background and am assuming this is a bug in IE9 that will eventually be fixed. However, if you had any tips on how to prevent it from happening in the meantime, that would be great.
Edit: Seems it isn't on every postback. It is on every postback that performs a Response.Redirect. I should add that all my postback are actually utilizing ASP.NET AJAX, not full postbacks.

Porto Selvaggio
The coast that joins Porto Cesareo to Gallipoli alternates between strips of sand and low, flat rocks that at one point rise to become the bastions of Porto Selvaggio. The bands of color that are normally seen on sandy beaches are not visible here but the sea has a uniform dark blue shade. The rock walls fall sheer over 40 meters (131 feet) at points. Fortunately, this area has been safeguarded by the regional law of 1980 and protected by the creation of a nature park covering 424 hectares (1047 acres). It is rich with Mediterranean flora like rosemary, thyme, and phyllirea. Pine trees have grown here since the 1950s and these make the view truly wonderful.

Haven't played all of them, but out of the ones I have, Sa2B was definitely the best. While the Knuckles/Rouge levels are really boring and awful, the shooter stages are easy and quick and the Sonic/Shadow ones are still pretty fun.
The tunes were also kind of awesome in that cheesy sort of way.
Sonic Adventure 2 was the one with the opening that has Sonic jumpin' out of a helicopter and skating down the street, right? I played it on the GC.
I loved the Chao component of that game. They were so adorable! The way they bounced off the pointy rocks and flailed around as they try to swim without drowning. So cute :3
"I love that game because I played it all the time as a kid, but...yeah it's not a very good game, objectively speaking.
It right there in the title! It's 3D and it's a Blast! "
Haven't played a significant amount of it, but I loved what I played of Sonic Colors for the Wii. It felt "right". If you play it, you'll know what I mean.

The good parts of Sonic Adventure 2 were excellent, so I'm picking that. Though the bad parts (Rouge, Tails/Eggman levels, Knuckles's Aquatic Mine stage, all the pyramid levels) are pretty abominable, the good parts were all awesome. And somehow the voice acting in that one never annoyed me.

Jessica D'Amico's Blog
News, reviews, rants, joyous shouts, and other bits and pieces from daily life that hopefully can entertain and amuse us all.
Searching for Home
Downsizing is a fashion word these days. Many people look forward to what a simpler lifestyle could be like, if only they had less complications and "things' crowding them in their lives.
I didn't have a problem changing geography, planning what to keep and what to give to charity. I got rid of a lot of things, a lot. What was difficult for me, was moving into a carpeted apartment! I hate carpet.
Then there's another realization. It's one thing moving into a one-bedroom apartment in the summer, when you can go outside all the time to explore nature, take walks or enjoy the sunshine on a leisurely day. In wintertime, in Chicago, one is literally stuck inside by large mounds of the white stuff. Ice makes patios slippery, and two or more feet of snow make walking the dog an impossibility--especially when the dog is literally buried in snow and can't move, much less walk.
We've been searching for a permanent home in this area since January 26. We've learned a lot about ourselves, about the loan approval process, real estate, and the state of the homes, townhomes and condos available for sale in our area. Quite the learning opportunity.
At first I was interested in the condos around the corner from our apartment complex. They have a lovely red brick on the outside, nice landscaping and have a lake/pond on either side. One side of the community faces a forest preserve, which is always nice. I took walks in that general area with my dog during September-November time.
One particular condo there became available and we decided to visit it. I really enjoyed it and, especially, the view to a wide open field and lake. Very relaxing and lots of privacy. Regrettably, the lender took an extraordinarily long time (over 2 weeks!) to provide a pre-approval letter and the condo was swept away from under our nose by another home buyer. We fired the lender immediately. The house is still contingent to this date.
Our second lender was an online service and they responded within 24 hours and provided a very healthy pre-approval letter immediately. We felt better.
We found a lovely single-family home in a well-established older/mature neighborhood. Every wall had windows and the warm winter sunlight entered to make the space bright and happy. We were filled with dreams and visions of what life could be like there. Regrettably, the home inspector found out that the foundation was cracked and the I-beam supporting the entire floor of this ranch home was cracked and in need of urgent fixing. We let it go.
Ever since, we've looked at single-family homes. Some homes are well maintained and painted, but the areas they are located in are poorly rated (school zones, etc.) some other homes are not maintained and/or have old features which really date them. If it's not the detached garage that's falling apart, it might be very dirty walls and carpets, or missing insulation in the attic. If not that, it's that it's impossible to exit the driveway into the busy road in front. All elements which reduce the home value when you want to sell it after you've lived there a few years.
We began rationalizing the homes' faults. This is a dangerous sign of buyer's exhaustion. We started thinking that small projects like updates, paint and flooring were possible. After all, getting some insulation up a flight of stairs into the attic isn't that big of a deal. Cleaning and repainting walls isn't that bad of a proposition. However, the amount of money needed for these little projects decreases the money the buyer can spend on buying the home. Many of these homeowners were requesting too much for their poorly maintained, 50-60 year old homes. It's just not reasonable.
Some of the bank owned homes we visited were the saddest. The heating was kept low enough that the pipes wouldn't freeze but humans walking inside them would be terribly cold. Some had missing appliances. Some had strange decor and paint. Some had huge update and standards issues. One even had an non-code compliant wiring problem near the fuse box in the laundry room and no dryer vent exhaust pipe.
The last straw was visiting a lovely ranch home in excellent condition, if a little dated from the early 90s, which was ready to move in. We were signing the bid contract when the seller's agent finally forwarded the missing disclosure document: the house suffered from termite infestation. That did it and we were almost ready to throw in the towel. Maybe our tiny apartment was not so bad after all.
Would we ever find a home in this area? Why aren't people smarter about how they keep their homes? Considering these were 50-60 year old homes, the owners were asking too much money for the condition. We wanted a home that's "ready to move in" or "turn key" as realtor lingo calls it. Not a "fixer upper" or "for flippers or investors" - yuck!
We decided to take a look at several condos. We got through one which we really liked that looks exactly like the first one we fell in love with back in late January, but in another city nearby. We will see how this search ends, or continues, with time. Time helps all.

Vacation Update Day 2
Today was going to be different. I had errands and fun shopping to do!
Yesterday's trip and lack of sleep turned into a knock-em-dead kind of drowsiness that surprised even me. But after a couple of nappy winks, I couldnt go to sleep until after 11 pm. Where's my melatonin pills when I need em?!
All the same, I took advantage and watched several episodes of Leverage on Netflix on my phone. My 5-year-old laptop's screen died the night before.
It's sunny and 64F at 10:00 am? I'll take it! Nothing beats taking a warm shower after good-enough sleep while warm, blindingly bright sunshine rays stream over me. A sunlight shower.
Head out in the car, then U-turn back to check whether I forgot to shut the garage door...nop it's all good, just old age ;o)
Ah, fresh air in my lungs and sunlight warming my skin.
Vacation Update Day 1
I escaped Chicago early on a Wednesday morning, just as the bitter chill of winter was hitting town after a warm front.
Sorry but the sun decided to peek out too late that morning.
I was definitely ready for a mental and routine break, though I would miss my dog Benny terribly.
Warm sunshine and green, tropical foliage where waiting for me.
I dozed on and off after scanning through my issue of InStyle magazine, this edition proved unusually boring considering it was the holidays one.
Two hours and a half later I reached sunny, welcoming Tampa. Where the air I breathe doesn't hurt my noise our lungs. Deep inhale. Ah, sweet air. A nice change after the sardine can bottled air of a plane.
No check-in luggage meant smooth sailing through the monorail shuttle on down past the luggage carousels, expectant luggage owners, wide longing eyes, hoping their property arrived undisturbed in the next batch on the rolling belt.
Considering I was prepared for the worst at the car rental counter, just a couple minutes on the phone with my dad later, I convinced the attendant and her supervisor to invite me to step upstairs and grab my Corolla.
My first time with a Toyota, pishing aside rememberances of recalls and brake-related horror stories. It's black. My shoulders relaxed. I clicked the keyfob button and stepped into the drivers seat. The mirrors are a massacre of odd angles. The seat too far back. Lets get to work and on our way.

text: Judah ha-Levi was strongly influenced by Arabian literature, elements of which he ingeniously assimilated. His great collection of poems entitled Dīwān includes secular and religious poetry, both of which express passionate attachment to Zion (the land of Israel). For the poet, the Holy Land was not only a site where the Jewish people would one day gather after their deliverance from exile; immigration and settlement in Palestine would also hasten the coming of the Messiah. He celebrated Jerusalem in song as had none of his medieval predecessors. He also expounded his views on the nature of Judaism in an Arabic prose work consisting of dialogues between a learned Jew and the Khazar king who was converted to Judaism in the 8th century. It was widely circulated in Hebrew translation under the title Sefer ha-Kuzari.

Is Taylor Swift Giving Up the Goods?
The Rob thinks so!
The Rob thinks so!
Happy Monday, everybody!
The Worst of The Rob has just begun on 106.1 KISS-FM! It's the first "new" edition in a few weeks and will feature some great segments from over the past month! This week includes some gems like the blog Chandelle wrote about me and "It Came From Evansville Watch!" Here's a preview of the show, including a review of the Michael Buble Christmas Special featuring Elmo!
The first Monday of 2013 kicks off with a BANG!!
Last night's episode was pretty odd.
You think YOU had a bad college roommate?
Plus, we learn about a mysterious THIRD Shield Brother?! "The Voice" on NBC is down to the final 6 contestants and it's REALLY heating up. Rob and Kat couldn't disagree more about what they heard last night. Plus we'll talk to Season 2 Team Cee-Lo contestants The Shields Bros.!
It's another completely inappropriate newsbreak from The Rob's Radio Show...
But I do love when everyone else falls for these idiotic hoaxes.
When I went home for Thanksgiving last week, I noticed that my mom had this HUGE yellow book (literally about the size of a dictionary) titled Facebook For Dummies. As someone who's been on Facebook for about eight years, I found this concept humorous. My mo
I heard they MIGHT be looking for a new voice for Elmo...
It was definitely a crazy "It Came From Evansville Watch" this week! Here are the top 5 stories this week plus a bonus UFO sighting... you'll never guess where.

Life in the fast lane.
You're halfway through a race. With muscles aching and chest heaving, you huff and puff toward the finish line. Is there any way to run faster and longer--and feel better while doing it?
You could get some tips by reading every article and watching every program on running stars such as Arturo Barrios and Greta Waitz. But even their great speeds pale in comparison to some other athletes of the animal world.
Which critter should be your role model? The cheetah, the fastest springer in the world? The racehorse, bref for speed for almost 400 years?
Guess again. To learn the most about long-distance running, animal physiologist Stan Lindstedt says, check out the pronghorn antelope.
Never heard of it? This three-foot tall mammal is the fastest distance runner on Earth. Though the cheetah might outsprint the pronghorn on the short track, the big cat would conk out after 30 seconds. The pronghorn would keep going and going. Pronghorns, in fact, can keep up with a car traveling 55 miles per hour for half an hour.
The secret of the pronghorn's success: Compared with cheetahs, racehorses, and humans, pronghorns, are more efficient at taking in an using the oxygen that fuels their bodies, Lindstedt says.
If you've ever worked out, you know your body needs oxygen. You breathe hard to get more of this gas into your lungs. Your heart beats fast as it tries to quickly move the oxygen from your lungs, though your bloodstream, to your muscle cells. That's where the oxygen is ultimately used--in the chemical reactions that give muscle cells the energy they need to contract (and keep you running).
The pronghorn faces the same challenge of getting oxygen to its cells, says Lindstedt. But compared to animals of the same size, thB pronghorn has:
* a bigger windpipe and bigger lungs to take in oxygen
* more alveoli, the tiny air sacs in lungs through which oxygen enters the blood
* a bigger heart to pump more blood through the lungs and to the muscles
* More red blood cells--the components of blood that carry oxygen, and
* more mitochondria--the structures inside muscle (and other) cells where oxygen-dependent, energy-releasing reactions take place.
These traits, says Lindstedt, are examples of adaptations, characteristics that help an animal survive in its environment. Pronghorns with speed-enhancing adaptations are able to outrun predators and survive. These animals then pass on their traits as the species evolves over time, says Lindstedt.
Evolution might also explain why cheetahs, racehorses, and humans do not keep up with the antelopes.
To survive, cheetahs only need speed for short distances, says physiologist James Jones. They are adapted to sneak up on prey and pounce with a burst of energy from their powerful hind legs.
Racehorses don't even need their great speed for survival. For the past 400 years or so, their "evolution" has been driven by breeders who want them to win races, not ny the need to survive. Some of the speed-enhancing traits they've developed may even turn out to be harmful to their health (see opposite page).
Finally, says Jones, humans are much slower than these animals because we can afford to be. "Our method of survival is not dependent on being very fast," he says. Instead of running from predators and scampering after prey, we've designed tools and strategies for defense and hunting.
That's not to say individual humans can't get faster, Jones adds. Working out for 20 minutes three times a week will strengthen your heart and muscles, he says. That won't make you as fast as the animals on these pages, but it will make you a more fit human athlete.

Freckleface FunFreckleface Strawberry, the popular kids' book by actress Julianne Moore, comes to vibrant, musical life Off-Broadway.
Freckleface Strawberry the Musical may be only 70 minutes long, but that doesn't mean the excited hodgepodge of kids filing in the door of New World Stages' Theatre #4 don't want a snack before and during the show. At least that seems to be the idea behind the 20-something vendor strolling the aisles suspendered to a smorgasbord of Skittles, Milk Duds, M&Ms, bottled water, "and more!"
Once the lights come up, though, the only flavor on everyone's mind is strawberry - not the fruit or candy variety, but rather actress Julianne Moore's popular kid-lit character, Freckleface Strawberry, come to life as a bubbly 7-year-old whose wish of all wishes is to be free of the umpteen freckles that make her stand out - and (gasp!) look different - from her classmates.
"When I wrote the book, I took ideas from [my] childhood and kind of added to it. Now the character is a completely separate being from the 7-year-old self I was," says Moore.
Still, the Academy Award-nominated actress's perceived "ugly duckling" years were the catalyst for her delightfully amusing Freckleface Strawberry books (a second one is already out, and Moore just completed the third in the series, with a fourth in the planning stages).
In her IMDb bio, she's quoted as saying, "In grade school I was a complete geek. You know, there's always the kid who's too short, the one who wears glasses, the kid who's not athletic. Well, I was all three."
No mention of the red hair and freckles, but clearly those two key characteristics took on a life of their own in the book, and are now blissfully front and center in the musical courtesy of actress Hayley Podschun, who brings Strawberry to life. (FYI: The play features adult actors as children. The casting is so perfect, though, that suspension of disbelief flies out the window within seconds of the opening number.)
In the stage production, each character has a developed personality and a trait or two that makes him or her unique in their own ways. The ballet girl (Jessica Bishop) is insecure when outside of her dance comfort zone; Emily (Kimiko Glenn) is the girly girl with a crush on Danny (Joey Haro), the school jock; Jake (Andrew Cristi) is the science nerd, rarely without his oversized magnifying glass; and Harry (Mykal Kilgore) is an "everykid" who has a fabulous turn as Don Fontaine, a breakdancing freckle who, along with other humanoid freckles, pop out of Strawberry's imagination singing:
We are not nasty warts, we mean you no harm
We hang out on your face, body, legs, and your arms
We just want to be...friends with you...can't you see / We love you Strawberry...
Rounding out the cast is Linda Gabler as the book-wormy Jane, who is actually triple-cast, delivering a lovely performance as Strawberry's mom as well as the kids' teacher in a memorable classroom scene that features the number "Be Yourself."
Those familiar with the first book will no doubt find this adaptation relatively true to the original. And while the narrative is tweaked in parts to make it more stage-friendly, the message of learning to love one's perfect imperfections clearly comes across.
The credit for this goes to Rose Caiola, founder of Manhattan Movement & Arts Center, who conceived the show initially as a workshop with children before opting to cast adults for the professional run. The show receives kudos for the rest of the creative team, including Gary Kupper, who wrote the infectious music and lyrics and collaborated with Caiola on the book.
Cleverly, Caiola and Kupfer introduced a smattering of contemporary references - Facebook, Sponge Bob, video games - but it's when Strawberry decides to wear a scratchy, knit, winter face mask to hide her freckles and identity that the book and musical come together, culminating in the song "The Kid in the Mask:"
Who could he or she really be?
Maybe a spy or a celebrity?
We want to know
Who, who, is the kid in the mask?
Eventually, everyone admits they're "Different...just like everyone else..."
I saw a matinee on a school day, so the kids in the audience were mostly 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old girls. Still, the handful of boys present were equally attentive, probably because they too were represented onstage. And (for the first time in memory!), there were no squirmers or restless chatterers. The kids were enthralled. So were the grown-ups. So was I.
"I never thought it would actually become a musical!" declares Moore. "It's so nice to see how moved and involved the audience gets, especially children, when watching theater. That's been very exciting to watch."

are 8 inch wide upper cabinets going to look ridiculous
GW is such a wonderful site and I have learned so much from lurking around!
I'm really uncertain how this is going to look. My kitchen layout is almost complete, but unfortunately on either side of my window I only have space for very narrow upper cabinets - approximately 8" - is this going to look silly? I really need every inch of cabinet space as possible. They will be in a creamy white shaker style. Any photos of narrow upper cabinets would be greatly appreciated.
Are your cabinets frameless? If they aren't, the reduced size of the framed opening might be uselessly narrow. Whether they LOOK good depends on other elements of your kitchen.
I prefer the look of inset cabinets if you're going that narrow, so I'd approve of the aesthetics (if yours are true shaker insets), but whether it will be functionally worth it, as idrive points out, is another question. Do you have a layout picture to share? The brilliant layout minds here can give you a whirl. :-)
Also, if your cabinets are inset shaker style, you will need to do those doors as flat panels because there won't be enough room for the stiles and rails. You might have that problem even with an 8" frameless door, depending on the width of your stiles and rails---with ours, I found that even a 9" wide door looked really skinny since our rails and stiles are 2.5" wide, leaving a space of 4" in the middle---doable, but I still switched it to 12" at the last minute to make it look more normal.
What about putting shelves there instead? Then you wouldn't have the door issues to contend with.
I just had a 9" tall cabinet installed between my refiigerator and the wall. I was worried that it would look silly, but I don't think it does. It will be for trays (upper) and brooms (lower). My cabinets are frameless, with a shaker style door.
I have a 7" full height pull-out cabinet that is a broom closet where I also store cleaning supplies along the top and it too is shaker style. The whole thing is on a rail system. So following that can you make these cabinets pull=outs instead and store spices, oils etc in them. And if they are balanced on either side of the window they won't look silly.
Have you considered using a pullout instead of traditional shelves? It might make them more functional...or at least more accessible. (Just something to think about.)
How thick are your cabinet's walls? If 1/2", you will have approx 7" of interior width; if 3/4", you're down to 6.5".
Here is a link that might be useful: Rev-A-Shelf Wall Accessories
Are the cabinets by themselves or connected to others? If they're free standing I think they will in fact look ridiculous. If they're connected to others, they'll look okay but function better if they were actually incorporated into neighboring cabinets, making THOSE 8" wider.
As always, drawings would be helpful!
If you have other uppers, just make them wider to take up the slack.
A single upper cabinet that is only 8" wide is going to have major stability problems. The attachment point is narrower than the depth of the cabinet, which means that it will be wobbling and pulling every time you place any sideways pressure on it ... like when you are opening a door.
How about a set of shelves there?
Thanks all for your input. Always nice to hear other points of view.
Hopefully this will shed a little more light on the situation. I'm sorry that the pictures are not that great, but it's the best that I have right now. Unfortunately, most of the measurements are in centimetres. I hope it doesn't cause you too much trouble. Most of my appliances are already bought. The only appliances I need to buy is the hood (going with a 30" vent a hood and microwave to be mounted under island). The microwave will only be about 21" wide as I really don't use a microwave that much. The fridge is a Samsung 33" french door counter depth. Microwave is Miele fully integrated. Range is Blue Star 30".
The upper corner cabinet will be on a piano hinge so it will actually look like 2 narrow cabinets. One just shy of 8 inches and the other one about 9 inches. The KD said that they cannot do one larger one as it will be too big for the piano hinge. The other narrow upper cabinet is beside the fridge - it will actually be a little bigger at 10.5 inches.
The second picture shows the cabinet door, but I am going frameless. This is also the look that I'm hoping to achieve. I hate to admit this but I'm actually quite a messy cook while preparing so as much as I absolutely love the white quartzite I think I probably will go with Quarella Blanco Luciente. It has little pieces of shiny specs in it so it looks like it has a little more depth to it. The link below doesn't seem to show the little pieces of mirror in it, but it's actually very pretty. Backsplash will be Bianco Carrara marble basketweave. Flooring will be 12 x 24 inch porcelain tile Dolmen noce. I'm trying to have the floor look as close to limestone as possible, but in porcelain, so if anyone has any other suggestions I would love to hear it. I really liked a floor that I saw on GW by the name of Valentino Fashion Coffee, but I have tried to find it in Canada with no luck. I even contacted the manufacturer, and the only company in Toronto that they said carried it had never heard of it. Hopefully the Dolmen Noce will have a similar look. Well..... what started out as a question regarding cabinet size has mushroomed into a whole lot more, LOL. Would love to hear what you think about this as the flooring/backsplash have not been bought yet.
Here are a couple of links - the floor tile pattern is much more subdued than in this link
Backsplash similar to this but with white dots.
On side of the fridge, have you thought about a floor to ceiling (or as high as the fridge) pantry pull-out? On the other side, have you thought about a shallow bookshelf turned on it's side? Or an open corner shelf unit? Or wine cubbies?
What I can't tell from your drawings is how wide your sink is to figure out how much counter space you have. If you were to do what itsallaboutthefood suggested, which is a good one, you would lose the 10.5" of counter. Woops, just noticed that your dishwasher is there. So you have 24".
Putting a 10" wide cabinet by a 33" fridge might wind up looking out of proportion. I have a 15" cabinet by the fridge and I wound up making it deeper to give it more presence on the wall.
What about bringing both cabinets just to the counter and maybe a little deeper. They would both have more presence and more storage. But you would lose counter space.
You started off by saying that cabinet space is necessary and this would increase that if you can afford to lose the counter space.
Just talking about it, but maybe cut the one on the ref side in favor of a narrow depth, but wider cabinet hung on the ref side panel. If you could convince yourself to do a rack for cups or glasses you'd have room for your window trim.
On the other side, I'd go with the two foot wide corner cabinet or a blind corner on one side or do a dead corner before having a little upper cabinet. Even with 8" frameless, its only 6 1/2" wide inside. Plus a little concern again for window trim.
Well, they won't hold a ton, but they won't look ridiculous. I'd be tempted to do open shelves or glass fronts (and sides!) for display.
The skinny cabinets wouldn't be a bad spot for cookbooks. Do you have enough things that would fit to make them worth having? A spot of counter with no uppers is always a luxury--must be why you have an island. :)
The corner layout of my kitchen is very similar to yours. I have an 8'' upper to the right of my sink. I don't think it looks ridiculous at all. (I might be a little biased here!) However, as others pointed out, it's not as functional as a bigger cabinet and you need to think how you'd be using it. I built mine specifically for water glasses and mugs, and it serves that purpose well.
Sorry, I don't have a picture looking at it from the front, but you likely won't be staring at it that way either.

Turning a Boff into an alt isn't the same as changing the gender or race of an existing toon. The OP isn't asking for the option to start up a NEW high leveled toon, he's simply asking for the opportunity to change the look of his existing one.

Sunday was one of our favourite days of the entire trip. We were up early and drove three hours through Grand Teton National Park, before arriving at the gates of Yellowstone National Park. And … get this … it was 'National Parks Day' across the whole country so no need to pay the $25 entry fee! Sweet! We still got ...

After that, we bought a bottle of wine, crisps, a litre of peanuts (Matt was drinking them out of the tub), went back to the campsite and were a way through all of this when we got a message from Vivian and Ron saying they were in Butte for the evening. They took us up to Berkeley Pit, an old mine over 4,000 feet deep filled with 250 million gallons of toxic water. It was strangely beautiful, and an amazing historical and geological spot - the first ...

It was a dreary drizzly morning so I decided to stay in the nice warm cabin this morning instead if hiking. Some braved the rain to go hiking but half the trail was still closed for the season so they didnt get to see any glaciers anyway. When the clouds cleared up later in the afternoon we could see the mountains from our campsite and there was a glacier on one so I still got to see one :) I had a lovely relaxing day, and in the evening ...
