ABC News' Kirit Radia reports:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a message for those on Capitol Hill who would like to cut the State Department's budget: do so at the risk of American jobs and American leadership.
In a speech in Washington this morning Clinton argued that American investments and diplomacy abroad pay back dividends by creating jobs in the United States. She also warned that nothing short of America's global primacy is at risk if those efforts are not properly resourced.
Already, she suggested, the U.S. may be slipping.
"After spending two and a half years as your secretary of state, traveling nearly 600,000 miles, I have reached one over-arching conclusion. Simply put, we need to up our game," she said. "We need to double-down on what we do well and add new tools and techniques to compete effectively in the 21st century, to be strong at home and to lead abroad."
American diplomats, Clinton said, are working in countries around the world to break down barriers for U.S. companies to compete in global markets and she suggested new markets in the developing world present a new opportunity for export.
She cited Open Skies agreements with countries that allow create new flight routes overseas from American cities, creating jobs near the airports. A new direct flight from Memphis to Amsterdam has had a $120 million impact on Tennessee's economy and supports over 2,200 local jobs, she said.
"These agreements may not create headlines, but they do create jobs," Clinton argued.
The setting for Clinton's remarks betrayed her ultimate motive: to warn against further cuts to her budget. She spoke before the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, which lobbies for greater foreign affairs funding. The USGLC issued a report today supporting Clinton's main thrust, that the work she and her diplomats engage in around the world creates jobs back home.
The Marshall Plan may have cost $110 billion in today's dollars, but Clinton pointed out that the US now exports around $250 billion worth of products to the European Union each year.
To that end she urged Congress to pass three Free Trade Agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea before it leaves for summer recess.
"Passing these deals is critical to our economic recovery," she said.
Clinton warned that American leadership in the world "is an achievement, not a birthright" and warned against cuts that might undermine the U.S. position in the world.
"Maintaining it requires resolve, and it requires resources," she said.
Clinton also swung back at those who say the U.S. can't afford such efforts in the current deficit crisis, and suggested other countries are poised to take advantage of the void if American companies don't step up.
"The 1 percent of our budget we spend on all diplomacy and development is not what is driving our deficit. Not only can we afford to maintain a strong civilian presence, we cannot afford not to. The simple truth is, if we don't seize the opportunities available today, other countries will; other countries will fight for their companies while ours fend for themselves. Other countries will promote their own models and serve their own interests, instead of opening markets, reinforcing the rule of law and creating widespread inclusive growth. Other countries will create the jobs that should be created here, and even claim the mantle of global leadership," she said.
Clinton has spoken about the return on investment for American engagement abroad in the past, and she'll repeat them again soon. She'll deliver a speech later this month in Hong Kong and another later this fall expanding on the nexus between economics and America's strategic position.

One of the things I adore most in this life is traveling.
During various journeys throughout the world - from Indonesian islands to Moroccan caves, from Nepalese monasteries to Parisian cafe's - I've often dreamt of one day having my own travelers hostel, so I'd be continuously surrounded by a steady stream of fellow explorers and lovers of life.
Now, thanks to AirBnB, I can live out that fantasy a bit.
When I'm not out riding my bike around the city, you can find me teaching and practicing AcroYoga, contemplating the true meaning of life, and seeking out the perfect latte with soy.
Our home is a gem in the city - a true house in Brooklyn! Complete with a huge kitchen, backyard, and a chic post-hipster nouveau decor.
Hope to meet you sometime soon - in our house, or out there somewhere on the great road of life.

How a Reduction of Standard Working Hours Affects Employment Dynamics
On December 1, 1996, a new law was implemented in Portugal to gradually reduce the stan- dard working week from 44 to 40 hours. We study how this mandatory reduction affected employment through job creation and job destruction. We find evidence that the working hours reduction had a positive effect on employment through a fall in job destruction.

This is a great energy booster & I saw results within a week. I found for me personally that if I drank my mix after lunch which was when my energy was the lowest, I got better results. I will be reordering!
Works very well

OK, so the taste isn't the greatest, but if you add a shot of one of the super fruit juices (acai, mangosteen, goji, noni blend) it tastes a lot better. To cut the sweetness, add a shot of unsweetened cranberry juice. I felt better within an hour of my first serving, and since I suffer from hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia, anything that improves my energy level is a critical element in my routine. I like that I am energized without feeling jittery, and there's no "rush"....just a gradual increase in energy and well-being. I ordered another one to make sure I don't run out. Quality ingredients that work for me.
Nice flavour, easy to mix and drink

It's a bit early to assess the efficacy of this product, but it includes a very wide range of supplements thought to be useful for treating the symptoms of CFS, works out much cheaper than buying them individually, and is very easy to drink each morning before breakfast. Please note that it does contain calcium, which can interfere with the absorption of thyroid (t4) supplements, which are best taken 30-60 mins before breakfast. No iron suits me as I have a high level already.

I have symptoms of chronic fatigue. I tried d-ribose first, which helped my energy level. Then I added this product a month later. A month of using this product has passed and I have noticed no difference. And certainly no improvement. I don't think I will re-order. A big complaint is it burns the back of my throat so is hard to get down.
Posted by Reviewer3352657 on Jan 18, 2011
I feel better than I have in quite awhile. I would definitely recommend these vitamins to anyone who has hypothyroid issues or problems with fatigue. They are working for me!!

Will this work for soil amendments?
I live in a place with hard red clay soil. I was thinking of adding some cow manure(from HD) and some shredded pine bark compost along with some lime and shredded newspaper(to attract worms). Will this be satisfactory to grow tomatoes with?
I have to disagree on the steer manure not being a good soil amendment. "Cow" manure sold as 'black gold' compost in the bags at Home Depot is very good. It's been used for many, many years and prized by a lot of gardeners. Last year I did switch to mushroom compost but only because it does smell less. I have to rely on the bags of compost because I don't have the space to make my own, but it might be something you'd like to look into.
Another source of nutrients is shredded leaves. I believe that it's as good a mulch as the shredded pine bark.
It might be a good idea to pick up one of the inexpensive soil tests to check for the lime.
There's a big deal about the steer manure spreading stuff this year, but I believe they are speaking of manure that hasn't been treated. (Experts correct me if I'm wrong!) If you can go with the bagged compost, which is more expensive, I would stick with that.
Also, I'm not sure where this 'steer' part has come from. That reference has been in a couple of threads lately.. It's always been 'cow' manure as far back as I can remember, and I'm old LOL.
I don't have red clay soil, but if it were me I'd be gravitating toward raised beds. Of course that's not always appropriate to the situation. Some red clay folks seem to think it's really easy to grow in while others find
it to be a lot of work to make it, well....workable.
There's a wealth of information in these forums on that topic that I think would be really helpful.
Try searching 'red clay' and related key phrases. There's also a forum just for discussion on soils.
Here's a couple of threads, but there are MANY:
This seems to be a very good article on how to work with clay.
Here is a link that might be useful: Improving Clay Soils
I agree, cow manure can be a great amendment in certain cases, however I don't think its particularly well suited to dense clay, and can sometimes cause serious problems in clay.
All of the nutrients required by a plant can be easily supplied through proper balanced fertilization, therefore the primary goal of soil amendments is to improve soil structure.
Feedlot manure is 5 to 10% salt according to the University of Arizona ag department. The added salt can be easily washed out of the root zone in sandy soil. In clay, water movement is seriously restricted, therefore salt phytotoxicity can occur, especially in arid regions of the western U.S. Additionally, manure tends to have a high pH as does most clay soil, which is not what tomatoes prefer.
I tend to think that composted manures and peat are better suited to sandy soils where one is attempting to retain water and hold nutrients. Manure does a good job in that capacity although it breaks down in a matter of weeks.
Straw, bark, perlite and even wood chips are a good choice for amending clay since with clay, you are trying to increase permeability, drainage, and oxygen in the root zone. As a side benefit, bark and perlite may last for years..
Hmm, maybe that's why manure works well for me, I'm not in the arid western US, just plain old Georgia red clay here.
I have to go by a lot of what my father has passed on from their family farm where they grew acres of crops. They had plenty of manure, no perlite back then.
knight2255 - I hope you don't mind if I point you to the Soil Forum here as it has a great many discussions on amending clay soils for best results. Doesn't make much difference what you plan to grow in it, but the soil itself needs as much improvement and prep as possible before planting.
cow manure(from HD) and some shredded pine bark compost along with some lime and shredded newspaper(to attract worms)
I don't have clay soil but while any soil can benefit from composted manures as well as non-manured compost, the plastic bag stuff harvested from feed lots does have its drawbacks as already mentioned. It is very different from farm manure in nutrient levels, pH, and contents such as pathogens, antibiotics, and such.
Obviously there are some brands better than others but none of them can compare to that from a farm source IF you can find one. If not then use the store bought stuff sparingly and save most of it to be added to the soil this fall after harvesting.
Wood chips and wood mulches, when tilled into the soil, bind up nitrogen in the soil making it unavailable for plants while they are decomposing. That can take well over a year or even two. I strongly feel that wood chip mulches have no role in the vegetable garden but if you elect to use it note that you will have to supply additional sources of nitrogen for your plants to avoid problems with them.
Lime is normally only advocated IF you know what your soil pH is and that it is acidic. Have you had it tested? If not, and your soil is already somewhat alkaline then you could be creating some major problems for yourself by adding it.
Shredded paper as a mulch, not in the hole has benefits. Mixed into the soil it has the same problems as wood chips - nitrogen binding - although for not as long.
Hope this helps.

Invisible Cities
Imaginary conversations between Marco Polo and his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, conjure up cities of magical times.
A beautiful tale of all cities and one city. I feel as though I live in one of them though (spoiler alert) Venice is a wonderful punch line.
One of the most profound and inspired literary examinations of the city: its possibilities and how we might read, understand and imagine it.
A lovely insight into the imagination's role in the image of the city.
While today's oftentimes banal cities multiply and grow at dizzying rates, this book becomes all the more relevant for helping us imagine their untapped potential.
An endlessly permutational book, as well as the most appropriate use of the typeface Buster in print; the first English edition of Invisible Cities makes the font look like a bespoke creation for this very volume.
Calvino and the entire Oulipo Group are engaged in fundamental issues of architecture. Invisible Cities opens up poetic views to an imaginary urbanity.
I read Invisible Cities and Ficciones as a young student. Both authors immerse themselves into fantastic and supernatural places, always of import.

Love the look .. but HORRIBLE issues with quality of construction and installation. Parts not fitting .. holes poorly drilled .. holes not proper depth for long term use .. just awful! Overstock as usual WONDERFUL about trying to help .. BUT even the replacement "core" part ended up with many of the same problems. I had to hire a professional Handyman (expensive!) to finally jerryrig the thing together .because of poorly fitting parts .. even then the various parts do not fit together closely resulting in deep cracks where the poor finish shows up as light color. I finally bought a furniture repair kit and colored in those cracks .. with the dark color it is not that noticeable except in certain lighting. Because of the time .. hassle .. cost involved .. we decided to keep the table. PLUS we love the way it looks with our Asian and Contemporary art and furniture. So IF you are a skilled craftsman .. go ahead and purchase this .. it does look great .. plus I think I paid more than it is currently being offered for (this is 8 months later). I will say the glass quality is excellent .. nice and thick .. if no one looks too carefully at the construction .. it looks much more expensive than it is!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello jrichard, this table is made in China. Thanks for shopping with us!
we are after a natural walnut finish for the legs. Is the table available as such? or is it only available in black/grey finish?
Hi, anny2013. We are currently out of stock in the walnut base, and we cannot guarantee if or when we will get it back in stock. However, feel free to check back periodically to see if it returns. Thank you for your interest. Have a wonderful day!
Is this product in stock with a black base? How soon would it ship?
Hello imagesgs, Yes this is in stock with the black base. This usually leaves our warehouse in 1-2 business days. Thank you for shopping with us!
I'm looking for additional width information on the glass piece. If the widest portion of the glass is 32", what is the width of the most narrow portion of the glass?
Thank you for contacting us mbkconnor. Yes the widest side is 32". Please let us know if you have any further questions.
The description says the table is two-tone, black/grey. I can't see that in the picture. Can you provide a more detailed description or send a better image?
Unfortunately, we do not currently have more images available.
How deep is the narrow portion of the table? I see the depth shows 32" but Im assuming that is the deep part on the right hand side of the picture correct?
Thank you for your interest. We are currently looking into this. Your answer will be posted as soon as possible.
Hm, the glass is 8" in the middle?? That doesn't seem right by looking at the picture. If the widest part is 32" it seems that the middle isnt 1/4 of the wide part. Can you verify that it is the glass piece in discussion? Thank you so much.
The manufacturer's representative confirms that the widest part is approximately 32 inches and the glass is 0.5 inch thick.
May I purchase just the glass top?
No, you cannot buy the glass top separately.
do you have end tables to match or go with the sculp coffee table?
We do not currently have matching end tables, but we offer many end tables to choose from.
Is it a real hardwood base or laminate? Other tables seem to have a problem of rocking. Does the table rock?
The base of the table is made of hardwood. The table will not rock if placed on a level surface.
how thick is the glass on this table?
The thickness of this glass is 1/2 inches.

Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home.

New to Organic Lawn Care
I'm hoping someone here can help me. Not only am I new to organic lawn care but I'm new to lawn care.
I have a relatively small yard (~3000 sq ft) and it's primarily a Bermuda hybrid. I live where we have water restrictions (i.e. only allowed to water once per week) and the sod was planted last July, during prime Texas heat. I didn't do a whole lot with the yard other than water and mow and now that spring is just around the corner, I wanted to fertilize it organically and get it to a healthier state. I also have quite a few weeds starting to pop-up but it sounds like if I take care of the grass, the weeds will go away naturally.
I had a soil test done and they recommended .9 lbs N, 2.6 lbs P2O5 and .8 lbs K2O per 1000 sq ft. Apparently having a lawn that's low in phosphorus is not uncommon in a lot of new construction, as fill materials or low fertility top soils are often the norm in a lot of new developments.
Since that's not a common ratio, they suggested 13-13-13 at the N rate needed. This approach will over-apply potassium, fortunately this does not pose any environmental threat that over-applying nitrogen and phosphorus poses. For the application of 13-13-13, they suggested apply 6.9 lbs of product/1000 sqft in the upcoming weeks, then following it up with an application of 7.7 lbs of product/1000 sqft for later fertilizations.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what to use to accomplish the same thing organically? The organic fertilizers that I've seen don't have anything close to the ratio that I need. I already bought an Earthway 7350SU residential drop spreader. It's starting to warm (and green) up so I'd like to get this done in the next couple of weeks. Any help or guidance would be very much appreciated!
Much research of late has shown that watering once a week, deeply, is better for all lawns than the practice of a little water every day.
Did the soil test show how much organic matter is in the soil?
Is there a source of compost you can spread on that lawn?
I would spread about 1/4 inch of compost on the lawn and not get too concerned about finding a "fertilizer".
There are organic lawn "fertilizers" available, Ringers, Milorganite and other sewage based materials, and some can get quite expensive. Then there are those that will suggest spreading Alfalfa meal or grains which may help if the soil that turf grass is trying to grow in is somewhat healthy.
Few soil tests do not have something about organic matter although the reference may be kind of hidden. Sometimes that will be reported as Humic Matter, HM, or something else. If the soil test was done by your state universities Cooperative Extension Service ask your county horticultural agent about it.
You might also use these simple soil tests to find out more about the soil that lawn is trying to grow in.
1) Soil test for organic matter. From that soil sample put enough of the rest to make a 4 inch level in a clear 1 quart jar, with a tight fitting lid. Fill that jar with water and replace the lid, tightly. Shake the jar vigorously and then let it stand for 24 hours. Your soil will settle out according to soil particle size and weight. For example, a good loam will have about 1-3/4 inch (about 45%) of sand on the bottom. about 1 inch (about 25%) of silt next, about 1 inch (25%) of clay above that, and about 1/4 inch (about 5%) of organic matter on the top.
2) Drainage. Dig a hole 1 foot square and 1 foot deep and fill that with water. After that water drains away refill the hole with more water and time how long it takes that to drain away. Anything less than 2 hours and your soil drainsâ too quickly and needs more organic matter to slow that drainage down. Anything over 6 hours and the soil drains too slowly and needs lots of organic matter to speed it up.
3) Tilth. Take a handful of your slightly damp soil and squeeze it tightly. When the pressure is released the soil should hold together in that clump, but when poked with a finger that clump should fall apart.
4) Smell. What does your soil smell like? A pleasant, rich earthy odor? Putrid, offensive, repugnant odor? The more organic matter in your soil the more active the soil bacteria will be and the nicer your soil will smell.
5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy.
The report has pH, conductivity, nitrate, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur and sodium.
Thanks for the info! I've looked around a little on the forum and had seen that you had posted the same info in other posts. I was really hoping for someone to give me specific instructions on what kinds of fertilizers I should use based on the recommended fertilizer in my report. I guess there is no quick and easy answer. I should've started this research a while ago but I was slow moving. My first application may just have to be synthetic and that will buy me some time to do more research on organic.
Thanks again!
It is a bit difficult to be more specific on an on line forum because we cannot always get a good feel for the soil and climate. The questions I ask are meant to help me get your soil in my hands and for you to be my eyes so I can see what I need to.
How long it might take compost to get worked in depends on the soil you have and how active a Soil Food Web is in that soil, and that depends on the amount of organic matter that is in the soil now. The compost will , eventually, develop that Soil Food Web which when active with adequate amounts of organic matter in the soil which will then feed the grass, or other plants, you are trying to grow. But the Soil Food Web needs a food source, organic matter, to be there and work. Little or no organic matter in the soil means a dormant Soil Food Web.
It's hard to find organic fertilizers with NPK that would match up what your soil test indicates you need. Nitrogen gets used up by the grass and also runs off. P and K are more stable in the soil. I would do as recommended and focus on delivering the right amount of N and over time the P and K should come up to.
I would use something like Alfalfa meal which is usually about 2-1-2 or Espoma Plant Tone which is 5-3-3 for a year or two, do another soil test and then reevaluate. After that you'll probably be ok using mainly fertilizers that are higher in nitrogen. The things you'll typically see marketed as organic lawn fertilizers.
Compost is good too but I find that adding fertilizer as well as compost produces better results than just compost alone.
If there's a Starbuck's within your area, go by there for free material. They bag their used coffee grounds for garden use. Spread this over the grass to attract earthworms. They eat the grounds then poop it out. The waste is called "castings," (those small piles of mud-like balls you often see in yards) and is better than anything you can buy.

Knife block in drawer
We are getting this, but what are the ins/outs of the different styles? Some are just flat and straight. Others are wavy. How do I accommodate both short knives (5" or less) and long chef knives? Thanks.
I'm exploring now, too. Williams Sonoma is back ordered but has the same price as Amazon on the wavy one; the Container Store has the kind with cork-like flexible dividers. Both stores have variations of both types, I intend to see them in person but the wave seems to use space more efficiently.
Here is a link that might be useful: Williams Sonoma wusthof block
I am using a Hampton Forge drawer knife insert that I got from Target. It is 6.2" wide instead of 9" wide as the Wusthof, so saves a bit of my drawer space. Same length. When I got it, it was much less in the store than the online price, but I don't remember exactly how much I paid for it. It holds 5 large knives and 6 small knives. Another thing I like about it over the Wusthof is that it doesn't have the spot for the knife sharpener. We don't use that kind of sharpener, so this would have been a wasted slot for me.
The smaller knives go in the upper space and the larger knives go in the lower. See the picture on the packaging that shows the knife block with knives in it.

I've had the Henckels version for years (despite the fact that I have Wusthof knives.) I don't remember any more why I liked the Henckels better, but I do recall comparing them. It holds 6 large and 6 small plus a steel. . . . my tomato knife just barely fits in the small slot, when we got it the large slots were already full. Anyway, I've always liked it and we have continued to use it post remodel. In fact, I made sure I had a good place for it in the prep zone!

I have two of the same style knife blocks (the "wavy" ones with the smaller knives--steak and paring-- in one layer and the larger chef and bread knives in another) as angela 12345. They are placed side by side in my cutlery drawer. The two-level storage is a very space efficient design. I think I bought mine at Home Depot or Lowes for significantly less than the Target price.
By the way, it would be easy to cut one block to a narrower width if you need more slots than provided by one large block but don't have space or need for two full blocks.
Once you decide on style, I would suggest you check out the "used" blocks on Amazon. They are probably just returned items and not really "used." You can usually save 20% or so off their "new" price and get free shipping with Amazon Prime. Sometimes really good bargains show up here.
So the wavy one lets me "stack" and put the shorter knives on top? In contrast to this Rev-a-Shelf model which I kind of like better (I don't like wavy) but would be twice as wide 18-1/2" (470mm) W x 22" (559mm) D x 2-7/8" (60mm) H to store 19 knives.
Some criticisms of the Wustoff one is the dowels that are on the bottom. I could see how that would be annoying. Do the others posted above also have these dowels, or are they solid wood on the bottom? Thanks.
The best money I ever spent was $14.99 for a Grundtal Magnetic Knife Rack from IKEA. The knives are easy to see, easy to reach for adults, & don't get nicked, and............. I don't lose a drawer to storing knives.

I haven't had a chance to really use my Wusthof yet - I put it in the drawer, but until we have countertops (next week), we aren't using the kitchen much. I do think I'll like it, though. One of the goals of my remodel was to reduce clutter on the counters - and two knife blocks seemed cluttered to me. I did hang on to the blocks, in case I change my mind when we actually start using it - and I see how the counters look.
Beverly27, my Mom has a magnetic strip like that - it's on the side of the cabinet next to her sink. It does work well, though small paring knives can slip off. I specifically planned a drawer in my kitchen for knives, so I don't feel like I'm losing anything.
Just a question for you knives in the drawer people from a knife block on the counter person:
I understand you have ample drawer space and don't want clutter on the counter. However, in reality, I'm usually wanting maybe a different knife while I have sticky pineapple juice or chicken ick on my hands and can just reach for a knife without 1) having to visualize where it is in the drawer, or 2) transferring the stuff on my hands onto the drawer pull.
Before you prep, do you get all the knives out of the drawer that you plan to use?
We generally use one knife. Most often the santuko knife or chef knife. If I plan on needing two knives, I generally take them both out, but that's rare. I'd probably rinse my hands first if taking a second knife out, that's what I did with the block too since I always managed to get stuff on the neighboring knives because they are so close!
I have the Wusthof drawer blocks and really like them. One is a 7 knife block and the other is the 14 knife block. I have them in a drawer together and they are exactly 13" wide, hold 21 knives plus a sharpener. The dowels have never bothered me in the 4+ years that I have had them. I bought them for around $50 via Amazon and they are moving with me to NC :)
I actually purchased the Rev-A-Shelf knife drawer insert, but upon receiving it, I noticed that several of my larger chef's knives rock back (the handle lays down) and the tip of the knife stuck up from the holder. I was so disappointed!
I am now looking at the Miu 15-slot knife tray. Do any of you have the Miu? How do you like it?
Here is a link that might be useful: MIU 15-slot Knife Tray on Amazon
The "wavy" type of storage seems to be taller than the Rev-a-shelf type. The drawer I'm using is quite shallow and I found that I can't keep my chef's knife in my "wavy"-style block at all: the handle will tip up enough to block the drawer from opening!
I'm sure your knife drawer has better clearance than my "pre-reno" drawer, which has 4.25", but I just thought it might be worth mentioning.
edit: ps: I have a bamboo in-drawer block from BBB that has extra slots on the top back for smaller knives like a tomato knife. I don't see it anymore on their web site though.

I had a straight block and a total waste of space and the tips stuck up in the air. It didn't hold many knives. Love my wusthoff with the steel in the middle. I also tried a few other styles and returned them.
Anyone need a 21 inch straight block knife holder?
I just got the wusthoff block from amazon and I must say that I am not liking the way my global knifes fit in them. There is a piece of wood in the bottom that is touching the cutting edge and I am concerned about wearing out the edge sharpness where the knife edge touches the wood. I think the design is flawed.
I have one of those two level ones in my utensil drawer. I can't remember if I got it at BB&B or Tuesday Morning, but it wasn't expensive. As someone else said, the small knives go in the top and the bigger ones on the bottom. I also have a knife block on my counter that holds the ones I use most: chef's, bread, and filet.
I have ordered these, I have one very narrow drawer , that was always just a junk drawer.
Hopefully these will do the trick for me!

Unfortunately the Wustoff din't fit my knifes (especially the global knives) too well. The wood dowel in the bottom kept hitting the knife edge and I was worried about spot dulling.
You can see the wood dowels in this pic.
I also tried this cork one from container store. I liked it but won't fit in my drawer
I decided to go with edge guards. This way, the knife is always safe and I like being able to get my knife out when I am setting up the prep and unsheath it just when I want to start chopping.
Thanks all. I just got this one today from BBB
And it's perfect! It's by Culinary Institute of America. It's bamboo, and solid on the bottom (no wooden dowels). I love the solid bottom, the flat part in front, that it is not quite wavy, but most importantly, it seems to hold more knives (and not too wide a block either) than any of the others I looked at- 7 long and 8 small knives. Now it's off to return all the others!
Lori in the NW, I switched from a counter block to in-the-drawer. It was soooo easy to get used to, I can't believe I never switched before. Go for it.
For me, the visual clutter didn't reduce. The knives moved to the only drawer in the prep area, and it's so skinny (7.5") that spoons and flippers don't fit. So there's still a crock on my counter.
I also bought the Target in-drawer block and love it. I hate clutter on the counters so I used to have a magnetic rack inside the cabinet door in my old kitchen; bought the Target rack on impulse and I'm happy as a clam with it. I use very few knives so reaching in with messy hands hasn't been a problem; the one knife I'll use is out when I start.
A magnetic rack inside a cabinet door - why didn't I think of that?!
Thanks, all for sharing your solutions (and olivertwist for the thread)! I ordered the same CIA one from Amazon, BBB was online only in my area and pricier with shipping.
I'll probably need edge guards or the magnet rack for extras, thanks for the picture GWlolo!
That was fast! I love this CIA organizer and it fit beautifully in the drawer with an off the shelf bamboo "expandable utensil tray" from Bed Bath and Beyond. I'll try to be patient and do some custom ordering from Wood Hollow but it feels great to get one drawer well organized.

oil to gas conversion help
I am looking into doing an oil to gas conversion this year and had a few questions:
1) what are the best burners? any brands to stay away from?
2) what efficiency is the best? 95%?
3) how do I determine what BTU to get?
anything else I need to know?
right now I have a oil burner and an airhandler with heating coils. I also have a hot water holding tank. I can get the gasses out the side of our house pretty easily. I am just not sure where to start. condensing boiler or regular? wall hung? etc etc
thanks for the help
The BTU requirement will be figured out by the contractor using a manual J calculation. You may want to do one yourself just to verify, but you can also just get 3 or more estimates and compare them.
Which efficiency you pick will depend on current heating costs and how much you want to spend. I looked at 95% efficiency boiler replacements and they were much more to purchase and install than the more standard efficiency units. Based on my current heating requirements (I am outside Washington DC) I decided the payoff length was too long for a 95% unit.
I had them install a 84% Buderus GC124 gas boiler with electronic ignition (no standing pilot) that was nearly a direct replacement for my old oil boiler. Based on one winter of use it is very inexpensive to run.
I only owned my house for about 6 weeks before we converted from oil to gas, so I don't know what it cost for oil. However, it was a very old system and my realtor said it was typical for oil to run $200-300/month during the winter. The highest gas bill I've seen so far is about $110 and I also have gas dryer, water heater and range. However, it was a relatively mild winter, so this year's costs may not be the best comparison.
I am not sure at all what it costs but it will involve putting in a gas line and also a meter (permits will be required for this) and that goes along with a regular furnace replacement.
If the furnace is in decent shape, the first thing you want to do is reduce the heat loss, by adding insulation and also draft proofing will give the best bang for your buck on your money spent. If your walls are framed, the insulation will probably be blown in, so upgrading the attack might also be an option.
At the same time as making any changes, it's also a good idea to have an energy audit, to prioritize the upgrades and also to ensure the eligibility for government grants.
The natural gas is not the only option, too.

Control/Command Questions?
I?m a complete newbie to MMOGs and have a couple of questions. I?m currently at the Secret Orders mission and my ship is constantly destroyed before I even get my enemies hull to 90%. I was hoping someone could answer these two questions in simple terms for me:
1.Is there a command that will keep my shields up where I don?t have to keep hitting buttons to work them?
2.Is there a command that will keep me locked on a target? The ships seem to move too fast for me to stay on the attack and I just can?t win.
If you attack or are attacked, your shields will automatically established. Maybe your shields are insufficient.
If a enemy is in range and you push the spacebar, you will shoot at him. You should also put your weapons on autofire (right click on your weapon icons on your HUD, the edge will become green).
Tactic Team automaticly distributes your shields to the attacked side.
As to loosing target lock, it sounds like you are fighting Klingon Birds of Prey. They do have nasty tendency to cloak periodically on you. Science Ships and Science Captains have better sensors so you can detect cloaked ships from further away than others. But there is no way to prevent them from cloaking for long period of time. There are abilities which will disable their abilities to cloak temporarily. Charged Particle Burst of one of those abilities. Another is using a Tractor Beam on a BoP. It disable cloaking while TB is active.
Visit this webpage www.hilbertguide.com and set up the keybind he suggests. This will allow you to easily keep your shields automatically distributing to the side facing incoming damage.
The guide will also give some helpful tips on other topics.
Thanks for all the helpful tips everyone. It took me a couple hours, but I was finally able to clear that level.
