These are absolutely beautiful. I bought the brown set for my sister in-law for Christmas (won't be a while until I know what she thinks of them, but I wouldn't have bought them for her if I thought she wouldn't like them). I only wish I had smaller hands/wrists so I could get my own set and wear them. The bracelets are not very big in diameter, which I was already aware of after reading the other reviews. However, my sister in-law has a small bone structure with small hands/wrists. I have already tested the bracelets out on someone else with similar sized hands/wrists so I know they will fit her. I have taken the liberty of measuring the bracelets - they each measure about 7 1/2 - 8 Inches around on the inside of the bracelets. If you are considering these bracelets (whether for yourself or as a gift), remember you/the recipient needs to be able to fit these over the widest part of the hand. ***Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for jewelry to wear out to a black tie affair, save your money and invest in something else. If you are looking for something fun and cute that is customizable to your moods and outfit, this is the set for you.
I love these bangles. The set of 12 includes brown, black, and white bangles... some made of wood and some with gold trim. I have been able to mismatch up to 5 bangles at a time, each time making me feel as if I have a new set of accessories. Very durable, stylish and most importantly affordable.
The Set of 12 brass and Wood Brown Bijoux Bangles (India).They are great for the price.
Versatile bracelets. Take note of colors: wooden brown, gold, black & gold, pearl & gold, brown & gold. I've worn it with black, brown, and white in different combinations. One wooden bracelet has broken at the hands of my children.
Purchased as a gift. She was very satisfied with the quality and style. Ensure purchasing for small to average hands. Another friend with larger hands could not get over hands onto wrist, otherwise a perfect gift or for own use to dress up and accessorize any outfit.
my set of bangles just came in the mail they are perfect good quality very please with my purchase I will buy more.
Enjoying the use of the bangles very versatile
Perfect addition to my bracelet collection. Perfect mixture of size, color and styles.
My daughter has lots of jewelry and loves bling.....She loves these bracelets, they accent her outfits perfectly.
I bought these for my daughter, and HER daughter had swiped one that day! I'd call that a success. They're very pretty and look great with a sweater.

Obsolete practices such as handwritten notes or aging technologies like fax machines are still prevalent in healthcare. These practices can sometimes increase medical errors and costs. The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has helped to reduce medical errors, but EHRs alone are not a panacea for improving how we deliver healthcare. In our highly mobile society, the information contained in health records must be easily accessible and shareable among doctors and healthcare facilities anywhere a patient travels in order to be truly useful and save lives.
That's where the SHIN-NY comes in. By providing a way for healthcare professionals to easily and securely share electronic health information, we can significantly improve patient safety and care while reducing wasteful cost in the system. This requires the creation of a secure technical infrastructure, a set of regulations as to how the network will be governed, and policies which allow the flow of information while simultaneously safeguarding all patients' information and right to privacy.
Why Electronic Health Records Matter
For as long as we can remember, modern medicine has operated without a complete picture of the patient. Doctors rely on their own records to understand a person's health history, but records compiled during patient visits to other health care settings may not be readily available, leaving the treating physician without essential knowledge to guide the patient's care.

Seven Leading Digital Health Tech Companies Showcase Cutting Edge Healthcare Solutions at the New York Digital Health Accelerator
Today, the New York Digital Health Accelerator, an intensive 5-month program created by the New York eHealth Collaborative and the Partnership Fund for New York City to foster New York's growing health tech sector, featured seven early- and growth-stage health tech companies that are developing cutting-edge technology products for care coordination, patient engagement, predictive analytics, and workflow management for healthcare providers.

You Will Not Believe What Happens When an Olympic Athlete Takes on Health Tech
Sky Christopherson is something of an anomaly—and a "Wunderkind," according to The New York Times. He doesn't come from the healthcare world, but he's using what he learned from healthcare practitioners to change sports. An athlete on the U.S. Cycling Team and a member of "Project 96″ prior to the Atlanta Olympics, Christopherson retired after the 2000 Sydney Olympics, frustrated with the doping culture of sport that would eventually cost Lance Armstrong his Tour de France titles and disqualify the US men's cycling team from the 2012 Olympics.
The Value of EHRs is Derived from Their Ability to be Interconnected
The value of electronic health records comes from being interconnected, giving doctors secure and confidential access to consenting patients' medical information anytime, anywhere, and potentially saving lives. Interconnectivity enables transmission of patient clinical records through a network connection.

At the same time, I would appreciate someone who challenges me a better person and who I can enjoy the little things with. From a nice date to a simple night with dinner and a movie at home, I cannot wait have someone to simply spend time with. I am optimistic about Match and I can't wait to get started.

Microsoft recently announced that it will change to its European currency pricing policy from July 2012, and the effect could be a 20% price increase for UK customers. It didn't publicize the change, preferring to let its resellers tell their customers as and when the change affects them, so I thought I'd tell my readers what you need to know. Firstly, here is some background. Most global software companies have one master price list in their home currency and reset price lists in other currencies every year or even every quarter using then-current exchange rates. Microsoft has always taken a different approach, having set €, £, and other prices in 2001 and continuing to use the same exchange rate ever since. There are pros and cons to this approach:
· Pro: local prices are stable and predictable. In contrast, € and £ prices from other US-based vendors may rise or fall by 20% from one year to the next as the currencies fluctuate. (This is one reason why SAP's revenue rises and Oracle's falls when the € weakens against the $, as these price changes affect demand.)
· Con: European companies pay more than their US-based peers. This doesn't matter so much if you're only competing with domestic rivals, but global companies see and resent the discrepancies.

I'm currently working on a report entitled "IP-Based Solutions Will Transform The Global IT Services Industry." In a nutshell, I believe that the business model of IT services firms (consulting firms, systems integrators, and outsourcing firms) will transform from a traditional human capital-intensive model to a software capital-intensive model over the next five years. As I will detail in my report, I believe this transformation will have far-reaching implications on the IT services firms' organizations, including their sales, marketing, portfolio management, and delivery capabilities.
As I'm based in India, I also see this change as a major disruption for India's export-oriented IT services industry (AKA "offshore services"). I believe that the growth model for India's IT/ITeS industry's in the next 20 years will be much different than it has been for the past 20 years. Software assets — what I also call IP-based solutions — will become critical to the competitiveness of the Indian IT services industry. The recent investments of companies like Infosys, HCL, and NIIT Technologies in such IP-based offerings are strong proof points.
This means a couple of things for the Indian industry:

I'm always searching for new negotiation best practices and tips when I'm speaking with Forrester clients, but it's not often I find one when I'm relaxing in bed with an old favourite, recently rediscovered book. But here's one that I hope you'll find amusing, and educational, from a book written over 80 years ago.
The current Mrs. Jones did some "tidying up" over Christmas — her euphemism for moving my stuff from its organized filing places in her office and dumping it as a jumbled pile on the floor of my office. In amongst a number of unwanted books and DVDs, now available at very reasonable prices on Amazon, I found my ancient copy of Kai Lung Unrolls His Mat by Ernest Bramah. It's a wonderful book — set in China at some unspecified date in history — and written, so the preface claims, in that country's classical convoluted style replete with analogies, adjectives, and apophthegms[i]. Read this passage about the ivory carver, Chan Chun, and his lowly assistant, Kin Weng, buying some new tusks from the merchant Pun Kwan — I hope you'll love it as much as I do.
Pun Kwan and Chan Chun began slowly to approach, the former person endeavouring to create the illusion that he was hastening away, without in reality increasing his distance from the other, while the latter one was concerned in an attempt to present an attitude of unbending no-concern while actuated by a fixed determination not to allow Pun Kwan to pass beyond recall. Thus they reached Kin's presence, where they paused, the sight of the outer door filling them both with apprehension.

Software audits are a bit like public transport; you can wait for ages for a bus and nothing turns up and then all of a sudden five come along at the same time. It shouldn't surprise anyone that software vendors are running more licensing audits today than ever before. The challenging economic climate has driven down the volume of new license sales for many vendors, so they are looking to backfill that revenue gap by auditing their clients and by finding which ones are using more licenses than they actually purchased.
Looking at Forrester's inquiries over the last few years, we can see a steady increase in calls asking for help with a Software Audit. The main vendors we see active in the software auditing space at the moment are IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. That's not surprising, as they're the major software vendors overall. More clients means more audits. And audits certainly aren't limited to these players; vendors of all sizes are auditing.
But software audits don't need to be a horror show. If you are well prepared for an audit and have good Software Asset Management procedures in place then you should have nothing to fear. If you aren't prepared, perhaps in blissful denial that such an event would happen to you, then let this be a warning; in the software audit space, no one can hear you scream.
Un-licensed software usage is easy to miss. There are many potential causes but the outcome is usually the same; you owe more money to the software vendor!
So be prepared. And preparation starts with this: once the audit request arrives make sure you:

In an interview with the Economic Times in India, Dell announced yesterday that it was readying a war chest of about US$1 billion for IT services related acquisitions in India. Here is why I think this announcement is important for Dell:
First, Dell needs to continue strengthen its global delivery network and industrialization capabilities. Dell bolstered its IT services market position with the Perot Systems acquisition in 2009. Since then, the company has made clear its development ambitions in India from an offshore perspective — including during the first analyst event they hosted in India in September 2011. The company lags far behind the services behemoths, including IBM, which has more than 100,000 staff in India working for international clients.
The India domestic market is also becoming a top priority for all major tech vendors. Forrester expects this market to grow by 20% in 2012 in local currency (see my recent report on the future of IT services in India). Japanese companies like NTT Data have launched aggressive inorganic growth strategies to tap this booming market (Dimension Data in 2010 — which was at the time part of the top 10 IT services firms in India via its Datacraft subsidiary — and more recently Netmagic Solutions). And Forrester expects more Japanese investments in the coming few months.
While IBM, HP, and Wipro Infotech are leading the IT services market in India, Dell is still marginal in terms of system integration and managed services activities. So it's high time that Dell strengthens its presence in India.

Minimum Level for Free KDF Reman?
So I logged on last night to claim my new Reman DOff for the weekend event. I have only one KDF character who I have leveled up from original starting level to Commander 2. She was unable to claim the Reman DOff (was not even offered or suggested by the contact). Some one suggested there may be a minimum level required to get the DOff. Is this true? Does anyone know what the level would be?

I have the Tab 4 7.0, and it has Marvell quad-core chip and 1.5GB ram. Because Marvell chip is not as powerful as Snapdragon 400 in Tab 4 8.0 and 10.1 versions, my Tab 4 7.0 stutters quite a bit. It doesn't freeze so that's good, but animations within apps (Not in launcher cause I'm using Nova) are pretty slow. For ex. could you please do me a favour and download Any.cal calendar app and see if you have this issue? When I press + button to add an event in **Portrait mode**, it has some nice animation going on, but it's very slow. Same for apps like Google play music, where if I pull out the left side menu, the pulling out animation is jittery, and not smooth, and also if i pull Up the current playing song, it isn't smooth at all either. If I pull the left side menu for Wunderlist To-do app, it's VERY laggy. And if I switch between tabs by swiping left and right on certain apps, the sliding animation is jittery too.
I'm wondering if Tab3 7.0 also have this issue, and if so, I'm wondering if they can be fixed with custom roms, tweaks, etc. Cstayton said he will look into building performance tweak for out tab, but I have to decide soon if I should return this tab and keep my iPad 3 (which lags time to time as well, but overall smoother), or if I should keep this Tab 4 7.0, and sell my iPad 3. If the slow animations and lags can be fixed with roms, tweaks, etc, I really want to keep this Tab 4 7.0. It's so much more compact (only ~270g), and has nice display, and also looks nice too. iPad 3 is VERY heavy, and also very locked down of course. Can't even jailbreak iOS 7.1 at ALL.
Thanks for your help in advance!

A Big Announcement
In November of last year Blog Preston teamed up with several other media projects and charities in Preston to bid for the NESTA Neighbourhood Challenge. We put together a joint bid with Prescap & Preston FM, Bespoke Project at the University of Central Lancashire and CSV Preston to apply for funding. NESTA's Neighbourhood Challenge is designed to support people who are trying to change their communities for the better, something that we've always tried to do with Blog Preston.
After whittling down 600 applicants, our bid was shortlisted for the final forty entrants in December, from which 10 would be selected for the Neighbourhood Challenge.
We are thrilled to announce that our bid was successful and that today we have been chosen as one of NESTA's Neighbourhood Challenge winners, meaning that over the next year or so we will be supported by significant funding to reach out more into the community, train people to talk about and record the issues that matter to them, and really get our teeth stuck into the neighbourhoods of Preston.
Ed Walker, Blog Preston founder, said: "This is great news not just for Blog Preston but Preston as a whole. It means we'll be able to expand our coverage of the city and into communities we've perhaps found it difficult to cover before.
"We hope to see a greater range of content on the site as a result of this partnership, and it's great it's happening as we approach the Preston Guild in 2012 which is a huge event for the city."
Our bid is about communities. It's about recognising that communities are made up of people talking to one another. It's about finding out what a community already has and what it still needs before exploring how to supply it. The people best placed to do this are the communities themselves.
Using technology and software applications designed to make the job of recording (audio and video), writing and publishing information almost second nature, our project aims to establish a space for collaborative community media, bringing together three different territorial communities in Preston – Deepdale, Ribbleton and St. Matthew's.
Led by Prescap, we aim to provide communities with the toolsets, support and facilities to create their own content and set their own news agendas. Community produced radio and TV, descriptions from blogs, comments, reactions and websites constitute an ideal foundation for neighbourhoods to find out about issues pertinent to them and to find out what local social groups are up to.
Their output may be little more than news and information about their own group activities, but it may evolve into forms of media that translate into campaigning public journalism, connecting people from diverse backgrounds with shared interests to resolve an issue or to collaborate on improving their lot.
A key element of this project is to move beyond giving communities a platform, to connecting collective voices for positive change. We want to create a surge of community journalism, to enable people to question and report what's going on around them, and use our platform to showcase their work.
Over the next year we'll be working with NESTA and the aforementioned organisations to make these ideas blossom, and we'll keep you updated with all the future developments. Suffice it to say that 2011 is going to be a very exciting year for Blog Preston.

metal countertop question
We are remodeling our kitchen. One of the countertop materials will be honed Calacutta gold marble. I would like to use either zinc or pewter on other kitchen surfaces. My questions are these: What is the color/finish difference between zinc and pewter, both new and as they age. Which metal would look better with the Calacutta marble. We hope to use the same metal for our range hood.
We put in a combination of pewter and carrera marble countertops in our kitchen remodel this year. We put the pewter in the "wet" areas and marble on the island and the "dry" perimeter counters. The pewter has a warm look, which sounds funny for a metal, and looks less rustic than the zinc counters I've seen. Our marble has grey streaks which complement the pewter. We've had the pewter in for about six months, so perhaps that's not long enough to answer part of your question, but it's mellowing. We're very pleased.

This stroller rides very smooth. Easy to setup and it closes very compact, so when it's in the trunk you still have room for other things. I gave it 4 stars because it's a little hard to get your diaper bag in and out of the storage area.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So I broke into my first batch this past week and also had a contact at a local brewery run a sample through their testing process. I brewed the Midwest Supplies Irish Red Ale kit. Since I'm using a friend's keggle, I did the steep in 6.5 gallons (rather than the 1.5-2 recommended) and boiled down to about 4.75 that went into the fermenter. What I got back was this:
Attenuation: 77.9%
VDK: 47.3 ppb (happy, healthy yeast!)
I'm pretty happy with everything except that the color is far too dark and the IBUs are too high. I assume that the full-volume boil is to blame for the higher IBU. Not a huge deal. I've since purchased BeerSmith and will recalculate my hop schedules going forward for full volume boils.
I'm guessing that the color has to do with a full volume steep and carmelization of the extract.
I'm preparing for my second batch and wanted to make some adjustments to my process. I have a Belgian IPA on deck so a little bit higher hop utilization won't be as noticeable. I would like, however, to keep the darkening and carmel character down. That said, what is the minimum amount of LME I should add before starting the boil? I know that adding late in the boil (around 15 minutes) can reduce browning, but how much do I HAVE to start the boil with?
Thanks in advance! My third batch will be all grain so in a sense these types of questions won't matter as much. Since all my volumes will be taken into account when designing the beer, I hope to have more consistent performance.
Technically you can't get the wort hot enough to carmelize (Maltose carmelizes at 356F). Reducing sugars undergo Maillard reactions (sugar and amino acid reaction) when heated and this causes darkening. Doing full boils minimizes this. Adding extract at flameout or very late in the boil also minimizes these reactions. The classic flavor threshold for diacetyl (the primary VDK) is about 0.15ppm but in an ale there are a lot of things that help mask it and as homebrewers I do not know how low we can get this number from a practical standpoint.
You should also steep in less water (about 2 qts per pound of grain) to prevent astringency. You can do this on the stove top or in the oven (lowest setting for about 30 minutes once up to temperature).

Read Me If You're New To GW Kitchens! [Help keep on Page 1]
Welcome! If you are new here - you may find the following information and links helpful.
The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) pages contain helpful information about how to navigate this site as well as the world of kitchen renovations.
The Kitchen Forum Acronyms will help you understand some of the acronyms used frequently in posts.
The Finished Kitchens Blog has pictures and information about many GW members' finished kitchens. Not only can you see them alphabetically, but there is also a category list if you're looking for specific things like a kitchen w/a Beverage Center or a kitchen w/a mix of dark and light cabinets. Access the FKB Categories Page via a link in the navigation panel on the right of any FKB page.
The Appliances Forum is very useful when you have questions specific to appliances.
To start off the process...take the Sweeby Test. Then, move on to Beginning a Kitchen Plan.
Other topics such as planning for storage can be found by doing a search on the forum.
Before posting a question, please search the forum. There's a very good chance someone has already asked the question.
When using the "search" function, be sure to use the search box on the bottom of the page, not the top!
Note, however, that you will probably have better luck searching if you use Google (or similar search engine) than if you use the Forum search function. When using Google, to limit your results to Garden Web, include the following in your search criteria: site:ths.gardenweb.com
In the Subject, the site changes the double quote used as the inches indicator (") to a single quote ('). We don't know why. To compensate, use two single quotes and it will appear as a double quote in the Subject. Luckily, the double quote works in the message box.
When composing a new thread, you have a couple of options:
Have replies emailed to you: check the box offering this option. However, you must have "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked in your profile for this to work (see the "Your Profile" link at the very top of the page) [See the post later in this thread with the Subject: Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process]
Insert a link: When you "preview" your message, you will be provided with two boxes for a link...one is for the link itself and the second is for the name or description of the link.
- When using the "Clip this post" option (far upper right corner of each post, small print), remember that only the current post is clipped, not the entire thread. Also, you are allowed a maximum of 50 clippings. Once you reach this max, you will no longer be able to clip or email posts.
How are the home page and the Forum organized? (from the FAQs)
- The Kitchens Forum home page lists 30 thread titles, starting with those that don't yet have a response. Then threads are listed in order of most recent response. That first page displays the last 2 hours or so of activity. (If there is no response...
There are two ways to post a link:
Using the provided boxes below the "Message" box:
Insert the link in the "Optional Link URL:" box
Type in the description or name of the item being linked in the "Name of the Link:" box
If this is a new Post, then you won't see these two boxes until you "preview" your message. So, compose your message and "preview" it. You will now see the link boxes and can now enter your link information.
To insert a link inside the "Message" box,
- Copy the following into the "Message" box where you want it:
Next, replace the http://www.XXX/ with your link
Now, replace the Description with the description (words) you want displayed with your link.
With either method, you will see your link when you "preview" your message
Posting a picture from your photo hosting account (e.g., PhotoBucket)
First, where are your pictures? If on your computer only, you'll need to upload them somewhere on the web for the rest of us to see them. I upload pictures to PhotoBucket.
Open an account w/PhotoBucket or other photo hosting site.
Take a picture using a digital camera (or film camera but get them on disk when they're developed)
Resize your pics so they're not too big, generally no more than 400x300 (or 300x400) (resize keeping the same proportions so they don't get distorted...i.e., don't specify a specific size, use %-ages or similar)*****[You can also often resize pictures at your photo hosting site, but it's faster to do on your computer]
Upload your pictures to your photo account
Find the label that contains the link to the picture
(In PhotoBucket, it's the box labeled "HTML Code")
Copy that link and paste it into the "Message" box of a post.
When you "Preview" your message, you will see the picture.
PhotoBucket Link Views:
Posting a picture from somewhere other than your Photo hosting account
- Copy the following into the "Message" box where you want the picture to be:
Next, replace the http://www.XXX/image.jpg with the address of the image.
When you "preview" the message, you should see the picture
Layout Help
We often get requests to help with layouts. Many of us enjoy doing this but it would help if you can post a copy of your layout, preferably to-scale.
- The best place to start is to draw up your kitchen (to scale, if possible) either without cabinets & appliances if you don't know where to start or with your proposed new layout if you have something to start with. Regardless, measure and label everything...walls, ceiling height, widths of doors & windows, distances between windows, walls, doorways, etc.
If you cannot move plumbing or gas, mark them on your drawing as well. Mark all doorways & windows (with dimensions) and label them as to where they lead. If they're actual doors, mark how they swing. It also would be helpful to see the connecting rooms, even layouts, so we see how they interact with the kitchen and/or extend the kitchen feel and flow. Make note of traffic flows in and out of the kitchen
Make a list of things like:
- What are your goals? E.g., more counter space, more storage, seating in the kitchen (island? peninsula? table?), etc.
What is your family composition? Adults? Children? Age ranges of children? Current? Future? How many kitchen workers are there? Cook(s)? Cleanup? Helpers? Now? Future? (E.g., if you have young children, plan for them as teens for both "sizing" of seating as well as helping in the kitchen in general) How do you see your kitchen used? Just for cooking/cleaning up? Children doing homework while you cook? Do you entertain a lot? Formal? Informal? Do you want your kitchen to be a "hang out" place? Parties only? Everyday? Do you have a separate DR? Do you use it frequently? Infrequently? If infrequently, do you want to begin using it more frequently? Would you like to open up the kitchen to adjacent areas? Close it up? Do you plan to merge two rooms/areas (e.g., Nook and Kitchen into a Kitchen only) Where are you flexible?
Can windows or doorways change size?
Can they be moved?
Can windows be raised/lowered?
Can any walls come down?
Does the sink have to be centered under a window?
Does it have to be under a window at all?
Note: The more constraints you put on a space (e.g., sink centered under a window, not willing to move plumbing, electric, or gas lines), the fewer options there are. So, be sure any limitations/constraints you mention are true constraints. You could say you'd like something to not be moved/changed or placed in a certain location, but if it's not a must or truly impossible, then mention it's a preference but that you would consider something different. Do you bake? Do you want a coffee/tea/beverage center? What appliances do you plan on having (helps to figure out work flow, work zones, and types of cabinets...upper/lower vs full height, etc.)
Range or Cooktop?
Single or Double or no Wall Oven?
Warming Drawer?
MW? (Advantium, MW Drawer, OTR MW/Hood, countertop, built-in, shelf?)

Planning For Storage
Once you've finalized your basic design, it's time to analyze your storage needs in each zone. The results of that analysis will drive the size/configuration of your cabinets and drawers. (The following is a general write-up I've come up with...)
First, make a list of everything you plan to store in your new kitchen, regardless of where it's stored now...kitchen, basement, dining room, etc.
Next, take the list and group the items according to function. Will they be used during prep? cooking? baking? cleanup? Some items, like pot holders, may belong in two different zones (in this case, cooking & baking). You can either find storage between the two zones or have duplicates and store one in each zone.
Now, determine where each of your zones will be (prep, cleanup, cooking, baking, storage, etc.)
The next step depends on the stage you are in the design/order process...
If you've already ordered your cabinets, then you will have to work with what you have. So...
Identify the storage potential in each zone and list them on a piece of paper with a section for each cabinet (base & upper) and one line per drawer or shelf in that cabinet. This includes your pantry for your "storage" zone.
Take the two lists and, while imagining yourself working in each zone, put the dishes, tools, etc. that you will be using in cabinets in that zone. Fill in the lines in the cabinet list with these items.
If you are still in the design phase, you will have the opportunity to plan your storage to meet your needs in each zone.
Take your list and imagine yourself working in each zone.
Go through the motions to determine the best locations for each item that will be used and stored in that zone (don't forget that you will probably have both upper and lower cabinets).
Now that you know where to put the items, determine what the best way is to store those items (drawer, shelf, etc.) and what size (e.g., pots & pans work best in 30" or 36" drawers)
Lastly, transfer what you've done to your design & tweak as necessary.
You should now have a well-thought out and highly functional kitchen!
This not only helps you to "see" how things will fit, but it also will help when you move back into the kitchen...you won't have to think about it, you'll be able to just put things away. It will also be a handy "map" for everyone to help find things the first few weeks w/o having to open every drawer or door!
Oh, and don't forget the Junk Drawer! Most people end up with one, so you may as well plan for it so you at least have control over where it's located!
Common Zones, Appliances In That Zone, and Suggestions For What To Store There:
Storage--pantry & refrigerator--Tupperware, food, wraps & plastic bags
Preparation--sink & trash--utensils, measuring cups/spoons, mixing bowls, colander, jello molds, cutting boards, knives, cook books, paper towels
Cooking--cooktop/range & MW--utensils, pot holders, trivets, pots & pans,...
Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process
There are three things you have to do to get emails sent to you when someone posts to a thread you started:
- Be sure you have a valid/current email address in your profile
Again in your profile, be sure you have the "Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site." box checked (at the bottom of the profile page) Be sure to check the box labeled "Check here if you would like copies of follow-ups to your message emailed to you" when you submit your post. (Below the "Message" box)
Hmmm...maybe a 4th step...don't forget to "Save Your Member Profile" when you make changes! (button at bottom of profile page)
If you do all 3 (or 4!) things, you should get an email when someone posts to your message.
Note: Some members have said they still have problems getting emails. I seem to always get emails, but I have noticed that occasionally there will be a several hour delay and once there was a several day delay...I don't know why.
Also, check your Junk Mail, sometimes the emails end up there. Add "firstname.lastname@example.com" to your "safe senders" list as well.
If you still don't get emails, check with your internet service provider and be sure emails from GW are not being filtered out as junk before they get to you.

Hot water should be all you need for most of the time. The times you want a grease-cutter, use Oxyclean.
Vinegar-- it'll do a good job, but the way it cleans is that it eats away at the grout, little by little. It'll literally burn the grout away over time. The oxyclean will do just as good a job, but without hurting the grout.

Thread: Best website I've found yet to view granite
Posted by remodelfla on Fri, Mar 20, 09 at 22:58
While doing a search I came across marble.com website. They have some amazing links including galleries with real life kitchens with a huge variety of stones installed. I didn't even get to the bathroom side yet. The pictures are beautiful. They also seem to have 3D and 2D interactive capacities which I haven't yet played with either. Will have to wait for a rainy Sunday when I want something to do.
Anyway... I've haven't seen one this good yet and thought others might be able to utilize it. ENJOY!
NOTE: This is only for stones that need sealing. If your stone does not need sealing, do NOT seal! Sealing stones that do not need it can cause problems later with haze, streaking, ghost etching, etc. If applied inappropriately, the sealer will have to be manually removed to return the stone to it's original look. Stones with an absorption rate not be sealed.
Posted by stonegirl on Thu, Jun 4, 09 at 11:43
Whatever sealer you use, read and follow the instructions carefully and be sure to buff off all excess sealer. For maximum effectiveness, each application of sealer needs to fully cure before the next application - normally about 24 hours.
Here is a how-to for sealing:
You will need the following:
- Home improvement strength alcohol
Lint-free rags or unprinted paper towels (the "Rags in a Box" disposable paper rags found at home improvement stores are really great for this) Paint pad (those hard, fluffy coated pads they use to apply paint) Sealer
What to do:
- Clean your counter tops by wiping them down to remove any food residue.
Wipe the counters with a rag soaked in alcohol. (Be sure to follow the safety instructions on the container) Once the counters are clean and dry, apply the sealer with the paint pad. You can pour a little puddle and spread it with the paint pad. Work in smaller, manageable areas. Leave the sealer for the recommended time and buff off the residue with the lint-free rags. Be sure to TOTALLY remove all excess sealer or you might end up with streakiness and smudginess. Change rags often to prevent smearing excess sealer. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until all your surfaces are sealed. Leave sealer to cure for 24 hours and test for water absorption. Drip water on the stone to see if the stone still darkens. If it does, another application of sealer is in order. Repeat the entire procedure until water beads up and no longer darkens the stone.
Do not think that more is better. Work with smaller quantities of sealer and properly clean up after each application. Your results will be better than trying a single, heavy handed application.
For daily cleaning, just use a couple microfiber towels (one dry and one slightly damp) Clean counters with the damp one - you could add some soap to it if you wished - and buff dry with the dry rag. No fuss, and pretty easy
Wondering what's the best way to clean something in your kitchen? See the following post for an in-progress collection of cleaning advice/tips:
Thread: The best way to clean....
How to Gel Stain Your Cabinets
From CelticMoon...
You just need time, maybe $50 in supplies, and patience. No skill.
Here's more than you need to know:
My cabinets are frameless, good condition and good layout. But the finish had gone orange and ugly, with the oak graining too busy for me. Cabinets are 18 years old, very poorly finished oak veneered slab doors. Plain with no crevices. They didn't even take the doors off to finish them!!! No stain or finish on the hinge side edges. Cheezey, huh?
I looked into changing out cabinets, but that was way too much money, since my layout was OK. Painting didn't seem right because the doors were plain slabs. I considered new doors but that still meant a lot of money. For a few years I tried to figure a way to add molding toward a mission look, but the rounded door edges made that impossible. Then trolling in a kitchen emporium showroom this last year I noticed dark wood slab doors, kind like mine, but darker. That was the answer.
First I tried Minwax Polyshades. Dicey product. Hard to brush on neatly, then gummy, then seemed to leave a sticky tacky residue. I did a thread on the Woodworking Furum "Evil Polyshades to the Rescue" which elicited a lot of conflicting "expert" opinions and arguments that one must strip to bare wood.
(Thread may still be around as that Forum moves slow.) I properly stripped acres of woodwork in an old Victorian when I was young and stupid. Never again! Jennifer-in-clyde (in the same boat) and I stumbled around on that woodworking thread to get to this method.
Shopping List:
electric screwdriver or screw drill bits
mineral spirits to clean the years of gunk off the cabinet
miracle cloths (optional)
fine sandpaper
box-o-disposable gloves from walgreens or the like
old socks or rags for wiping on coats
disposable small plastic bowls or plates, and plastic spoons or forks for stirring/dipping (optional)
General Finishes water base Expresso stain (pretty thick, but not quite a gel) This one may not even be a needed step if the Java gets it dark enough.
General Finishes Java gel stain (poly based)
General Finishes clear top coat (poly based)
old sheets or plastic sheeting or newspaper
Rockler woodworking stores are a good place to find the General Finish products. Or some larger hardware stores. Quart of each was more than enough for my 60 doors and drawer fronts and goes for $12-14 at Rockler. There are smaller sizes if your project is small.
Setup and Planning:
You will need a place to work and leave wet doors to dry overnight - I set up 2 spaces, garage for sanding/cleaning and basement for staining/sealing. Use newspaper or plastic to protect the surface and floor. Figure out how you will prop doors to dry.
Plan blocks of 20-30-minutes for sanding/cleaning bundles of, say, 6 doors at a time. Then just 10 minute sessions to wipe on coats. The coats will need to dry for about 24 hours, so figure...

Ok, it's not really social media and not very interactive, but still the Office of Personnel Management is offering federal employees a chance to give feedback online. They are asking for comment and ideas on the agency's 2010 draft strategic plan.
You can read a full description of the goals and progress indicators and give feedback here.
The goals are:
Since this is a work life blog, I looked particularly at that second one. It describes having a suite of flexible benefits and promoting work life balance across the federal government. Among programs for employee well-being and retention are alternative work schedules, telework, and employee assistance.
Indicators of progress would include an increased percentage of federal employees who telework, increased percentage of employees who report satisfaction with work life programs, and increased retention of new employees.
The Web site has already posted a public list of the early comments, clearly a new world of transparency. Here are some examples of the feedback:
Respect the Workforce, Indicators (page 13)
"Increased percentage of federal employees who report satisfaction with work-life programs" - if you're relying on the one question on the Human Capital Survey that asks this, you're completely missing the boat on the full picture of work/life satisfaction. I don't think most people even understand the question, and even if they do, satisfaction with work/life programs doesn't mean that employees are truly able to manage the often conflicting demands of work and personal life, in ways that enable them to be effective in all spheres.
"Respect the Workforce" and "Expect the Best" (pages 12-15)
It's disappointing to see some of the elements of work/life so stovepiped. Effective performance management is a critical part of moving towards a culture of truly flexible work arrangement. And until managers feel some accountability for creating model workplaces - through performance appraisal - no real change is going to happen.
This may be one of the few opportunities to tell it like it is, so have at it in your comments.
