Dodge car reviews
The 2011 Dodge Durango and its sibling the Jeep Grand Cherokee have a lot in common but there are also some significant differences that could easily make the Durango a more appealing choice.
Dodge was startlingly late to the four-door SUV party, a problem not solved until 1998, when the company introduced the Durango, based on the platform of the Dakota pickup truck. It was an immediate hit, as Dodge adapted the tough Ram truck look to the smaller SUV.

Joe Biden's gun tip of the day: You don't need an 'assault weapon' for home protection — just get yourself a double-barrel shotgun
**Written by Doug Powers
Sheriff Joe Biden held what was billed as a Fireside
Gaffe Hangout today on gun control.
A question for Biden revolved around protecting ones life and property from people trying to take advantage during a disaster (i.e. earthquake, flood, a Biden presidency). Joe's recommendation was three simple words: Shotgun.
Double barrel to be specific.
Video by way of The Weekly Standard:
What if the number of people simultaneously descending upon you is greater than the number of barrels on your shotgun? Look for Joe to start pushing a "Give Your Victims Time to Reload Their Double Barrel Shotguns" act that would legally require criminals to fight fair.
In other gun news, today during Dianne Feinstein's introduction of a bill to ban "assault weapons," Democrat Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said that "if guns aren't in stores, they can't be bought." That's why it isn't possible to buy meth.

2 keypads ?
swahiliDecember 9, 2008
ok i asked this question before , but got no response
does anyone know if you can have 2 keypads (you program 4 numbers on the pad while opener is in learn mode) does anyone know if 2 keypads can be programmed - i have to try this because i cannot get my clickers to work.
if they are wireless keypad then you program them no different than programming a remote. if they are wired, then you should be able to wire them in parallel to the existing switchs.
you can also program 1 keypad to open/close both doors at the same time. the only problem with this is if 1 is open and 1 closed, when you activate the keypad they will simply swap positions.

I usually like to photograph nature and natural elements but when I saw this cloud over the mountain one morning in Capri I noticed the bikes all in a nice line...save for the one towards the back....I don't know it just caught me the right way... so I am sharing just another day in the life of an Italian. NOTE: all watermarks will be removed when purchasing prints. Thank you.
The natural life around me has a way of tickling my eyes and touching my soul. Nature, in particular flowers along with color and light all have the elements I need to create my images and writings. I love to draw, paint and photograph images of what I think are beautiful subjects many long to see. Subjects that can be turned into the kind of art that emulates what I am feeling at that moment in time. I am excited about my work at this stage of my life. What I hope to accomplish is to create, share works that excite/calm and make people take notice of nature in a crazy world. I hope my creations bring an appreciation for the elements of nature in the art I present. I took every class I could during high school and continued to paint...

What this app gives you:-
1. An aesthetic and very functional full screen Signal Strength Meter.
2. Simple Home Screen widgets without taking too much space
3. Neighboring Cell tower coverage
4. Network Latency or Delay for data
IMPORTANT: Read the notes
The signal meter and widgets cover all networks including 4G/LTE and give extensive network information. The widgets can be extensively customized to any theme with a prototype. There is also notifications for out of service and roaming conditions.
Free Features:-
1. Network Signal strength in dBm and percentage.
2. Graphic and Minimal Widgets with color schemes
3. Out of service and roaming notifications.
4. Detailed Network info and Neighboring cell towers
5. Airplane or Restart Mobile Connection only without disturbing WiFi, NFC etc(Not available for >= Android 4.2)
6. Network latency widget
7 Signal Check for basic diagnostics
Pro Features(Inapp Purchase):-
1. AdFree
2. Additional Widget Color schemes
3. Service Notification tones
4. Auto Refresh Signal Meter and Neighbor cells
1. The Graphic, Minimal and latency widgets have been designed with latest design guidelines and better battery management. The widget updates on tapping. These widgets are only available on Android Jellybean 4.1 and higher.
2.Issues. A very few phones/ROMs are not supporting signal strength refresh. If the Network Type and the Carrier are updating correctly but the signal strength is not updating then this is a sure sign of a broken ROM. This is a known issue and not a problem with the App.
3. If you cant find the widget in the list of widgets after installation change the orientation of device with the list of widgets opened. This will cause the list of widgets to get refreshed. Also do not move app to SD Card.
4.Permissions - The app requires requisite permissions for accessing the info shown in the Network Info screen and showing the Google ads.
5.The Pro and Free(with inapp unlock) apps are separate apps and billed separately by Google. The Pro App has been unpublished. More on this is in the FAQs on my website.
What's New
Network Signal Info
Two widgets, one for mobile- and one for WiFi-signalstrength.
(If you can't find widgets, please copy the app to phone memory)
I have put special value on the visualization of the WiFi and mobile signal strength. They are normally only divided in weakly, good and excellent. Graphically in the form of mostly "only" three to five bars on the Mobile Radio and three to five "waves" by a WiFi connection.
In my app I differentiate the signal strength in total 14 bars. This will give you a quick visualized and detailed information about how good the signal strength is really.
In addition to the much more sophisticated graphical representation of the signal strength you will see some more interesting information.
In "Mobile Signal":
Network operators, Sim operator, phone type, network type, network strength in dbm and ASU, data state, data activity, country code of the mobile phone, device ID, IP address, roaming state.
In "WiFi signal":
WiFi-Name (SSID), BSSID, MAC address, maximum WiFi speed, IP address, external IP address, net capability, net channel, subnet mask, Gateway IP address, DHCP server address, DNS1 and DNS2 address.
If you like the app, please give me a positive rating in the market.
The Pro version (compared to the free version) has no ads, a NEW cell tower database with more than 22 million entries, a NEW MOBILE SIGNAL TRACKER function that generates a KML file for use with Google Earth, more widgets, a MOBILE SIGNAL LOST SERVICE and much more.
OpenSignal WiFi map, speedtest
✓ Signal compass points you in the direction your signal is coming from, just walk towards it!
✓ WiFi map allows you to easily locate nearby public networks.
✓ Coverage maps allow you see the best/worst places for signal.
✓ Speedtest feature allows you to see the true speed of your connection (download, upload & latency)
✓ NetworkRank shows which carrier is best in your area.
✓ See local cell towers.
✓ Free and ad-free
You can also:
✓ Help improve our crowdsourced and impartial maps by contributing data.
✓ Share your findings and compare your connection with other users.
✓ View your history of signal readings.
✓ test upload, download and latency
✓ Save your data to SD card.
✓ Signal booster for compatible phones
SMS Permission required to count the number of SMS sent to track your usage, SMS are never read (use a packet sniffer to check!)
Phone settings permission allows network reset on certain Android versions
Based on our community-generated data we are able to help keep you better connected by giving you a practical solution to the problems of slow mobile internet and dropped calls. Simply follow our signal compass to walk towards better phone signal or see our in-app coverage maps to work out which carrier is best for where you are, useful if you're thinking about changing. Our wifi maps help you find local public-access wireless networks (WAPs).
The Stats tab helps you to keep track of your usage, so there's no danger of you going over your plan limit on data, voice or text. (NB – this is why the app needs permission to access contacts and SMS, these are the permissions needed to count calls and texts, messages are never accessed or read!).
Maps not updated in real-time. Don't worry though, we log the information you share with us to improve our coverage maps and signal information. We're working hard to make sure the data you contribute to the project is available to everyone as quickly as possible.
- Not all towers and wireless routers are in our database - we're working on it!
- Verizon & Sprint (CDMA) users will see only one connected tower at a time
- Moving in the direction of your cell tower (the signal compass) will not always improve reception due to interference effects/local geography.
Advanced notes:
- For GSM, cell tower are identified via cell id and location area code (CID and LAC)
- For CDMA cell towers are identified via Network ID, Base sub-station ID and system ID (NID, BSSID and SID).
If you read to here (!) you should really join the OpenSignal beta to help us improve the app:

Advanced Signal Status
** If you recently took an update from Samsung and it broke access to switching between LTE and 3G, it's Samsung fault, as they permanently blocked developers from accessing it. Please don't give me 1-2 stars for something I can't fix, but others still find useful**
--- What do this app do? ---
► Toggle between 3G and 4G with a few clicks for nearly any device regardless of manufacturer.
► View all statistics your carrier uses to determine signal quality and 3G to 4G hand offs for CDMA, LTE and HSPA/HSPA+ in real time.
► Easy to read 3G and 4G statistics in percentages based on the max/min values instead of just decibels.
► Quick access to info you can reference when you need to complain to your carrier about poor reception in your area.
► Find dead spots around your home/office that affect phone calls, but not data (or data, but not phone calls).
► Reception quality can be misleading with bars only. See all the data Android and your carrier hides from you to determine signal quality and how it varies.
► Access to low level information about your previous and current wifi connections, including the current signal in decibels.
Annoyed at the lack of network signal information for your Android phone your carrier hides from you?
Can't switch between 3G and LTE easily with your phone?
Wish you could know more about the statistics your carrier uses to determine many bars your phone has and the tower it connects to?
Want to see what your 3g and 4g signals are at the same time and also switch between them easily?
Try out this free app and see all that information you've been missing when you could only look at number of bars and one signal under status settings. Also includes hidden configuration settings (cell radio configuration, wifi config, battery info) normally invisible to users.
Compare your signal quality based on percentages instead of just decibels. Now, you can instantly see how great each signal reading is for your device based on a scale of 0% (worst) to 100% (best). Percentages are configured to give the best reading for your carrier by default.
Use the info contained in this app to monitor your current signal and find dead spots around your home and office. Also useful for complaining to tier 2 tech support with your carrier when your signal sucks. Be informed and use what they know to your advantage!
**If you want this app in another language, please contact me either on the forums or with the listed email here to help. Translating can be done by anyone via https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/advanced-signal-info **
More information about the app can be found here until it's integrated into the app itself:
App works best for phones with either a CMDA or LTE data connection, but I offer as much GSM info as I can provide. If it does not work with your device, please contact me at my email and I can work with you to find out the issue.
Note: not all information may be available depending on the OEM/OS. Info not displayed will show as "N/A".
If the advanced area button causes the app to crash, it's your device and not me, sorry (not much I can do other than remove the button for your device only). It's an activity added to the pure Android OS and can be restricted by manufacturers (such certain Samsung ones).
↑ because the app won't show anything useful without those ↑
↑ for the tiny banner ad I have ↑
↑ Used only as a fallback for devices that can't access additional settings.
I don't collect or store any personal information.

Network Signal Info Pro
The Pro version (compared to the free version) has no ads, a NEW cell tower database with more than 22 million entries, a NEW MOBILE SIGNAL TRACKER function that generates a KML file for use with Google Earth, more widgets, a MOBILE SIGNAL LOST SERVICE and much more.
Three widget sizes: 1x1, 2x1 and 2x2 in different styles.
(If you can't find widgets, please copy the app back to phone memory)
I have especially worked on the visualization of the WLAN and mobile signal strength. They have received special importance. Normally they are only divided into weak, good and excellent signals. Graphically there are mostly "only" three to five bars shown as a mobile signal and three "waves" shown as a WiFi connection.
My app differentiates the signal strength into a total of 14 bars. This will give you a quick visualized and detailed information on your signal strength.
In addition to the more sophisticated graphical representation of the signal strength you will also be able to see some more interesting information.
Furthermore, there is a log function in csv-file format for wireless and mobile signal strength available (for e.g. Excel import).
With "Mobile Signal":
Network operators, sim provider, phone type, network type, network strength in dbm and ASU, data state, data activity, country code of the mobile phone, device ID, IP address (internal und external), roaming state.
In "WLAN signal":
WLAN-Name (SSID), BSSID, MAC address, maximum WLAN speed, IP address, external IP address, net capability, net channel, subnet mask, Gateway IP address, DHCP server address, DNS1 and DNS2 address.
If you like this app, please give me a positive rating in the market.
GSM 3G 4G Signals Booster
**The application won't work on Android version 4.2 and on later Android versions because of some restrictions**
- improve GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE signal reception on your mobile phone/tablet
- instantly improve calls and internet connections
- improve speed of downloading and data transmission
- prolong battery life
- find the strongest signal from the base mobile station within coverage area
- this application is a guaranteed way to find out the reason of weak signal on your mobile phone. If cellular signal is weak because you mobile phone gets always connected to the wrong mobile station, this application will exactly help you.
- if the signal is low because of poor coverage in the surrounding area, you may need special appliances for signal improvement.
The way the application works:
You should click "Improve the signal" and application will do the rest for you. Application finds the strongest mobile signal within the coverage area and get connected to the nearest base station. Due to reconnection to the nearest base station mobile signal level will incease on your mobile phone/tablet.

Network ist now Open-Source:
Network Browser
Presently, Network Browser should be able to connect to most Microsoft Windows or Linux and Mac OSX smb samba network shared folders. You need to know the IP address of the network server you are trying to connect to. You can connect as guest, or supply your username and password.
You can also open files that you find on your network. Tapping on a file will open it in the default editor on your Android system. Currently saving and uploading is not supported, but if there is interest in the project I can certainly work to add these features.
Network Browser now supports music and video streaming over the network! The current release only supports mp3 format for music and m4v and mp4 formats for videos, but I plan on adding support for more media formats in the future. Give it a try and let me know which formats you want me to work on next! Network Browser can now be your ultimate home network media streaming app!
Network Browser is for you guys, so if there is any interest in this project, I will add any features that you want or request. With time and effort this could be a fully functional network file manager and Windows Networking app, but if there is no interest in the project then I will not put the time into it. Just let me know!
GSM Signal Monitoring
Charts show the changes of strength level and speed of mobile connection. Log and Statistics display the data about cells which were used by a mobile device. After importing of CLF file containing cell locations data can be displayed.

Did you know that the WiFi signal strength increases by a million times (60dB) from low strength to full strength ? The 4 bar default Android WiFi icon is just not good enough to capture this dynamic range.

4.The Pro and Free apps(with INAPP unlock) are seperate apps and billed seperately by Google. The Pro App has been unpublished. More on this is in the FAQs on my website.
Storage Partitions
The phone memory storage is organized into structures called Partitions. The Android OS uses the System Partition. The Apps use the Data Partition and so on. The size of Data Partition plays a critical role in how many apps you can install. There are other Partitions which are hidden (unmounted) from user. The app makes a best effort to give details on unmounted partitions like Recovery, Boot etc so that you can have a complete birds eyeview of your Android storage.
A must have tool for would be rooters or if you just want to get a handle on the storage used by your phone

GPS Sidekick
1. You are indoors
2. Phone is taking too long to get location
3. No clear sky
The widgets in this app will show the number of visible GPS satellites and the mean signal strength. Now you will be able to predict whether you are likely to get a location fix. Depending upon the number of satellites and signal strength you can take the decision to move around to a more open area.
Remember that it takes at least 3 to 4 satellites before you can receive location fix.
Additionally the number of satellites having ephemeris and almanac data in addition to accuracy is also available.
Almanac(Imprecise) and Ephemeris(Precise) are satellite data cached in the GPS engine. The almanac data validity is in months. The ephemeris data gets invalidated in a few hours. If you get more satellites with valid ephemeris then you will quickly get location fixes with good accuracy.
Once the widget confirms location availability that means the GPS Engine is updated with the latest almanac and ephemeris data and you can open the main app like Maps or whatever you want to use to get immediate location.
The resizable widgets have a circular graphic with outer circle representing the satellites. The inner circle is the average signal strength.
Operation:- Tap the widget to start it. It will run for the duration you set in the app and stop automatically. This is a battery saving measure. If you want to stop before it auto stops just tap it again.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
13 Apr 2013 08:23 GMT | Business & Economy, Iraq, Portugal, United Arab Emirates
The eurozone's economic problems are never far from the headlines.
Portugal, which is already on the periphery of Europe, is perhaps drifting further after the constitutional court blocked some of its reforms. The country faces legal challenges to meeting its agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Portugal is one of the eurozone countries which has gone down the bailout road. Previous Prime Minister Jose Socrates even pleaded for months that all his country needed was support, not cash.
But the economy's shrinking - it contracted 3 percent last year. And unemployment is still high, having increased from 12.7 percent in 2011, to 15.3 percent in 2012.
Portuguese public debt was at 119.7 percent of GDP in 2012, which is the 9th highest worldwide. And it is in hock to the European Union and IMF as well, with loans amounting to $68bn and $34bn respectively.
This week, Counting the Cost goes behind the numbers to look at the real hurdles Lisbon is facing, as it tries to keep the country's deal with the IMF on track.
But it is not all bad news.
A report from Grant Thornton says businesses are starting to spend again, investing in future growth and betting the global economy is on the rebound. But are they jumping the gun in these turbulent times?
One company, Starwood Hotels, is placing the emphasis firmly where the growth is, and moving its entire management team to Dubai for a month. The chief executive tells us why that is not a gimmick and explains how the company is targeting one of the fastest growing regions in the world.
Finally, staying in the United Arab Emirates, we take a look at companies that are somewhat unique for this part of the world.
Crescent Petroleum and one of its subsidiaries, Dana Gas, are oil and gas businesses which are private, and not state owned.
The companies have also become heavily involved in the oil and energy industry in Iraq, managing to supply almost continuous energy in the northern Kurdish region. While attending the Doha Energy Forum, Crescent's CEO Majid Jafar spoke to us about the impact of the economic downturn.

40 or Older? You Can Still Whip Your Finances Into Shape
If you've recently celebrated the big 4-0, congratulations! For the next several decades, you're going to get happier, and experience less stress. (At least that's what the studies say!)
Of course, this does not exactly give you license to just sit back and take it easy. You're about halfway through your working life, which means that you have half the time left to pull in the money that will sustain you for the rest of your life.
And, not to be pessimistic (although pessimism can be good for your finances), but that's only true if you work until your intended retirement age. Unfortunately, a lot of people face early retirement—or can't get hired at all in their later years, as one manager revealed to us.
But we're here to talk about solutions, so we've rounded up the seven most common financial challenges facing people in the 40+ set. Our goal: ensure that your 80-year-old self can sit in a rocker and watch the clouds drift by.
1. If You've Been Avoiding Your Finances Entirely …
Think your financial situation is bad? Well, whatever you fear now is better than the situation you'll face if you put this off for another year. So here's how you can take action today:
- Review how much you have saved for retirement.
- Check your savings to determine just how many months you could fund basic expenses if you lost your job (we recommend at least six).
- Figure out if you're in debt, and if so, how much you've accrued.
- Get your credit score via the steps in this checklist.
You can easily do the first three steps by connecting your accounts to our Money Center, which allows you to add up your assets (savings, investments, etc.) and liabilities (debts, loans, etc.), to determine your net worth, which you want to grow from this point forward.
And the key to healthy asset growth is simple: You need to stick to a budget, which will ensure that you spend less than you make, and save for the future. But how much, exactly, should you spend on dining out versus contributing to savings? The 50/20/30 Rule will tell you–and Money Center users will automatically be guided in how to set up their budget according to this rule.
2. If You're Living Beyond Your Means …
Keeping up with the Joneses is a human tendency—not a personal failing. We've got an entire article on how to cure comparisonitis, but, in short:
- Forgive yourself.
- Pinpoint what you envy. It may not be your friend's six-figure salary, but it could be her intrepid travels.
- Be grateful for what you already have.
RELATED: How Making a Gratitude List Can Change Your Life
If you're in debt, use this checklist to get out—and make sure that you know the top debt mistakes. For some added inspiration, check out how these people got out of debt, whether it was $20,000 or $60,000.
Then look into making more money. You can start by reading our Negotiating 101 guide, as well as get tips from real people who've gotten raises.
Finally, cut your costs. If your mortgage is too high, refinance. If your utilities bill is too steep, rethink your energy efficiency.

She has a special interest in neonatal care, adolescents and sports medicine.

Great Vitamin C
Tru-C BioComplex review posted by JF on 12/25/12
I am trying to move my vitamins to exclusively food-based supplements. I like that this vitamin C does not come from corn, but instead is derived entirely from organic fruit. It is food-based C with food-based co-factors. As best I can tell, no other brand has this formulation.
Great Product

I am allergic to citrus (especially oranges), so this is the perfect C for me. And no stomach upset!.

Hanging Two Oversized Glass Kitchen Pendants
I like big globes and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny. When a light walks in with an itty bitty waist…
… and a round thing in yo face you get sprung. At least I do. John just gets all blown out and looks angelic.
The purpose of that photo was actually just to show you why we picked the height that we did. The common pendant light recommendation is to hang it 30″ above the top of the counter (from the top of the counter to the base of the pendant), but we went 31″ because my tall hubby didn't want those round things in his face obstructing the view. It's so nice to have some proper lighting above the peninsula since that part of the room has been super dark. As we mentioned yesterday, they were $60 each at a local lighting outlet, which made buying two of them cheaper than the actual retail price of one (they're $129 a pop here).
Of course we still have some holes to spackle (five to be exact), but things are definitely looking up!
As in, I can't stop staring up at them. And John's been ogling them too.
The lights, not the holes.
I've got holes. In different area codes… area codes. Remember that song anyone? Apparently I'm in a singing mood today. I blame it on the eh-eh-eh-eh-electrical. Blame it on the eh-eh-eh-eh-electrical.
Ok, I'm done now. Promise.
Anyway, this is a shot to show you that we still have a light over the fireplace to switch out. It's actually perfectly centered on the fireplace as you face it, although the angle of this pic makes it look all sorts of wonky. This is a pendant that broke pretty soon after moving in so we haven't used it for about half a year. Can't wait to hang something better suited to the chill-zone by the fireplace. Maybe a big ol' drum pendant that's only dropped a few inches from the ceiling so it's high enough for anyone 6'4″ and under not to bump their heads (that's the tallest person we know, haha). So yeah, along with spackling holes and getting a pendant for over the sink, this guy's on the lighting agenda too.
But back to the globes. We actually installed a dimmer switch yesterday, which is awesome because we can blast them all the way up or lower them for we're-just-eating-spaghetti-but-let's-fancy-things-up ambiance. We'd love to get LED bulbs for our pendants (they're compatible with CFLs, halogens, incandescents, and LEDs, which is nice) but since we have a dimmer switch, we have to find special LEDs that work with a dimmer. We'll keep you posted.
Update: we're getting lots o' comments asking if we'll be ORBing the stools – we're actually going to wait for the dark cork floors to go in before making any decisions on them either way since that could be a game changer. Oooh cliffhanger…
Here's how things look in the other direction. See how a big drum shade might be nice for that cozy corner by the fire?
Mmm, let's get a little closer, shall we?
Update: We gave edison bulbs a try and they were reallllly yellow in our room (maybe with white counters they're not the best idea since they left ours looking dirty?) – we also gave clear bulbs a try but they cast a bunch of harsh shadows on the ceiling, so we prefer the frosted guys we have here for now – although we're definitely still looking into dimmable LEDs!
In the words of sandwich-loving Joey Tribbiani: how you doin?
Oh and see that nice big chunk of sunny grellow wall between the fridge and the half wall into the dining room? We want to get a nice big piece of art for that spot. So we're on the prowl. Will keep ya posted on that too.
When we were reconfiguring the kitchen we talked about putting an upper cabinet there but knew that the peninsula would feel so much more open to those sitting there (especially the person on the end) if they weren't staring at the side of a cabinet. It's actually an area where we do a lot of prepping now, so we love that it's open. It's hard to explain, but it feels more like a room and less kitchen-y, in a good way. Just sort of casual and airy and not too wood-riddled.
Anyway, next on the ol' kitchen list is patching those holes (we'll share all the spackle-tastic details) and hanging (and building in) our craigslist range hood. Then we finally get to add the open shelves that I've been over the moon to "meet" since about four months ago when we decided to go for it. We've been keeping all of our dishes/plates/cups in a lazy susan cabinet in the corner by the stove, and while it works okay, open shelving will be approximately 957 times more convenient. Yes, I'm a complainer about turning the lazy susan one way to get a dish and having to spin it the other way to get a cup. Plus after we get the shelves made and hung and painted I get to put pretty vases and containers and frames up there along with all of our everyday dishes. Maybe even a ceramic animal or two if I'm feeling crazy. And let's face it, I'm pretty much always feeling crazy.
Speaking of which, remember my whole self-imposed "Dude, Get On That Already" challenge?
How is it already Wednesday and I have yet to tackle something? Come on $herdog, you said once a week you'd get on that. So GET ON THAT, ALREADY! Hopefully I'll have a little update for ya tomorrow. Anyone care to join me and share what you've done tomorrow morning?
So in summary: work continues and we're all over the place as usual. Hah. What are you guys up to today?

The lights look awesome!! Check this link out for bulbs…
These are dimmable LED's that my mama uses and loves! She even wrote her first review ever for them!
They are guaranteed to last 9 years (one of hers went out and she sent it back and got a new one pronto!)
I'm sure the company make non-candle ones that you would like for your globes… :)
You totally need to get some reproduction vintage bulbs from Rejuvenation:
It will totally make those puppies *pop*.
It occurred to me that although the manufacturer is required to display the UL stickers on the fixtures, it would look better to remove them.
This is one of my fave posts ever, probably because I'm also in a singing mood this morning. =) I cannot believe how far the kitchen has come- it looks amazing!
I'm jealous, jealous, jealous of all your natural light pouring into your house. The next house we buy I'm going to pay attention to where the windows are and the direction of the house so we have more natural light. Our house now is nice and cozy but it's CAVE and that just doesn't jive with me!
Love it! Love it!
BTW, what are the green stickers on your stove?
Picture from the dining room into the kitchen?
Love the new globes! Booty-full. While you're waiting for GE to make an attractive and dimmable CFL, here are two options 1) try a clear glass incandescent. They are inexpensive alternatives to the Edison bulbs and will look really good in the clear globes (and you can dim them); or 2) we used clear halogen porch bulb in a globe light we rewired–not sure if the wattage will work for yours, but you can dim them and they are more energy efficient than the incandescent, and the porch bulb is kind of cool looking since it's a more interesting shape than the standard incandescents. I can take a picture of it and send it to you if you are interested so you can see what it looks like through the glass.
I completely forgot about your "get on it" initiative, but I definitely got on this last night. Ignore the photo quality, I was not caring what they looked like since I'm a little burnt out right now (yay for deadlines next week! – your blog is my 5 minute breather today).
Your lights totally fit your kitchen. That cork floor is going to look awesome tied in with the ORB lights.
What will look really great is when I take a sledgehammer to that cabinet in kitchen demo. I doubt hubsterama will let me but I dream of it. Sometimes literally.
Loving the lighting!! Really adds some fun and goes great with the stools. And the price? I'm jealous :)
Hey Yall –
Of course, I don't comment every day because, I mean, how many times can I say I LOVE YOU!! It's looking fabulouso up in there and all I can say is I'm "Blinded by the Light!".
In other news, I've actually been motivated to get-er-dun around here and since there were several small projects that needed to be tackled and I don't have any carpentry skills, I found a great handyman and I got him to come over and quote all the little things that need doing in my house – door jams that need to be put back together once I took them apart to fix pocket doors, door jams that got pulled apart because the dog got locked in a room – you know, the usual. So, although I'm not actually doing it myself, I got off my butt and finally took care of it all in one big swoop – I think everyone needs a great handyman. Well, everyone but you guys I guess.
Also – heard you are speaking at the Haven Conference – how awesome!!! I'm trying to scrape up the funds to buy a ticket, we'll see – but would love to hear you guys!
Whoa. Kinda crass and crazy here today. I'll check back later to see if it has toned back down…
Seriously cannot get over how different the kitchen already looks! Those globe lights are perfect-O.
Loving the kitchen progress AND all the awesome lyrical references this morning. Seriously….$60…..seriously!!!! I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one loving floating shelving on the kitchen. We r removing an entire wall of uppers to make room for a new range hood and open shelving, too. Your kitchen looks like a big burst of happy and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!
Hi there! I'm not sure if I missed the post about the stools or not! (Sorry if I did!) But I love them! I was curious if you plan to paint them? If so, I would love a tutorial, as we have similar ones (a bit shorter) that I'm too terrified to tackle.
*in the kitchen….sorry, small iPad keys!
I love, love, loooooove them!!!! I don't have a penninsula like you do, but you have me looking at my recessed lighting more often than I used to!
Amazing! I love the pendants. They are show-stoppers for sure! I can't believe how nice and bright it is. The dimmer switch was a great idea.
Your house makes me swoon! You guys have impeccable taste. Everything looks absolutely gorgeous.
I have a question while on the subject of lights. The lighting in your house always looks so beautiful and bright – not orange-tinted like the lights my husband and I use in our home (tunsten lighting). What type of bulbs do you use in your home to get such natural looking light?
A blogger that makes home improvement parody rap songs! You just made my month! So rare and so awesome.
Love the kitchen progress. Wanna come and do mine?
I've always steered away from lamps without shades because I feel like I'm staring into a light like some perp in a Law and Order interrogation room.
How are the globes for someone standing looking into the kitchen? Or maybe I missed it, and you're getting frosted shades…?
(Ooh, now I have "blinded by the light" song running in my head.)
They do look cool, though. :)
I was thinking the same thing and decided I must be weird because looking directly at lights gives me a headache. They're beautiful lights, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to look away.
We need a "what's in my iPod post".
I'm sure you do that with Clara too, like when we put on socks, we sing "Sock Monkey, that funky monkey" or when we get in the car we sing "Roll Out" (Me and my babies, Roll out)… you get it, you're the queen of it :).
Speaking of the cork floors…
Will you be laying those on top of the tile, or do you have to demo out the tile and then lay the cork?
Love the whole color scheme and think you are smart to wait until the cork is laid to paint the stools!
I just want to say that this is the funniest post you've written in a long time (not that you're normally dry – this one is just especially funny). Loved the song references. Cracked me up! :)
i was about to ask– john is 6'4″?!
both my honey and i are bean poles, so i'm glad you talked about light height. we had to switch out half the fixtures in our rental, because our landlord is 5′ tall and i'm 5'10, and hubby is 6'1″!
lighting does make all the difference in a room– especially if it doesn't give you a concussion.
A giant clock would look cool on that wall between the fridge and half wall. I have a thing for clocks :)

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns embrace 'desperation moment' entering final month of season
PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Now the real fun begins.
Time to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
Time for the Suns to decide whether or not they want to be a part of the postseason fun as an 82-game marathon comes down to an eight-game sprint.
"We have to just embrace this moment," Channing Frye said.
The Suns are among four teams fighting to secure one of the final three playoff spots in the Western Conference.
"We set a goal at the beginning of the season, that's to make the playoffs. We feel like if we don't make the playoffs, then this season is unsuccessful," Gerald Green said. "We know that this is a desperation moment for us."
Here is what each of the four teams has remaining:
Recently, head coach Jeff Hornacek pegged 47 wins as the magic number needed to be included in the postseason for the first time in four years. Tuesday, he upped the ante.
"I didn't expect all of the teams to do as well as they did here at the end with tough schedules. Dallas has been playing great. Memphis has been playing great. We played great and got us in this position over the last 10 games," he said after practice. "Forty-seven is not going to cut it. Forty-eight if you have the tiebreaker. Forty-nine maybe more likely."
Since the playoff field expanded to 16 teams in 1984, no team has won as many as 49 or 50 games and been left out. Historically, 48 wins has been a sure bet for the postseason, with the exception of the 2007-08 Golden State Warriors, who have the distinction of being the winningest lottery team at 48-34.
So to be safe, a 49-win regular season would require the Suns to go 5-3 over these last eight games, beginning with the L.A. Clippers Wednesday at US Airways Center.
"It would be a great thing if we ended up making the playoffs and got in there with all the tanking talk that was talked about during the beginning of the year for a lot of teams," Hornacek said, "that we'd be one of these teams that didn't tank and ended up making the playoffs."
Of course, the Suns did themselves no favors by losing at the Lakers on Sunday, when at the same time both the Warriors and Grizzlies lost as well.
"Everybody knows that was a big slippage for us," Goran Dragic said. "(Making the playoffs is) going to be a little bit tougher now, but why not."

Assam Harmutty Second Flush Loose Tea
Item Code: 301465 / Net weight: 100g / 3.53oz
Free delivery over £40
In stock
100% Black Tea
Packed in a nut environment
Brew a Perfect Cup
Ideally warm the pot first with a splash of hot water. Use one teaspoon (around 2g) per cup and always use freshly drawn and boiled water. Allow to brew for 3-5 minutes according to taste. Can be drunk with or without milk.
This is our standard breakfast tea - I have been buying it for several years and the quality is always excellent. I only wish that they would sell it in larger packets, as I do not like destroying and wasting the 125g resealable pouches.
Lovely tea for first thing! We often drink it it in bed with the newspaper. We may drink it later in the day and we find we use more of this than any other tea. Robust but not dusty.
Strong with plenty of taste. Works well with soya milk.
This is my basic tea throughout the day. In fact I haven't tried it with milk. It is slightly nutty and robust. Also makes very good iced tea.

This image was untitled for a long time but I have finally come up with a name for it….'Outside In' :)
Inspired by my love of nature… bringing the outside, inside.
Winner of the Surreal Corvids Challenge, in the 'Raven Heart' group, September 2011.
acrylic on canvas board (1996)
This is like a dream. I didn't see the fish at first or that perhaps she's a mermaid. Wonderful!
Thankyou!!… From memory, this was inspired by Max's bedroom from 'Where the Wild Things Are' (one of my fave childhood books)…also I hadn't considered the mermaid possibility, but I like it!! There could easily be a fishy tale submerged in there :-)
– Thea T
I love that book! I never saw the movie because I didn't want to spoil my memories of it.
I thought for sure that was a tail hanging over the edge and submerged in the water. :)
Either way it's a beautiful piece that I love looking at.
I haven't seen the movie either. I heard mixed reviews which put me off a bit…maybe one day. And thanks for your kind comments as always :-)
– Thea T
Great image…fabulous work….I remember the book as well…blessings Ellanita
looks like your character has a phobia or is going through withdrawal.
That's an interpretation that I hadn't considered. Thanks for your input.
– Thea T
dark and beautiful!!
Thankyou Steve…much appreciated!! :)
– Thea T
Delightfully dark!
Thankyou!!…and welcome to the Bubble :)
– Thea T
Interesting portrait of loneliness…I feel this very thing.
Thanks Sandra… although I don't think of her as particularly lonley because she is surrounded by animals/nature which she has manifested into her indoor space. Actually, I'm not even totally sure what it is about, lol, so I always like to hear other people's impressions. All the best to you :)
– Thea T
for me it's a depiction of solitude as well, like for Sandra…
Hi Ina… I can see that now… & her hollow looking eyes probably add to that whole feeling. I was also experimenting with fish-eye photography at the time which transferred over into some of my paintings (hence the distortion), which I think give the sense that she's in a kind of solitary bubble.
Cheers, Thea :)

"Dry and Hilarious"
The first time I became aware of "Three Men In A Boat" was in the late seventies or the early eighties when I saw a much-shortened film version which included in it's cast Tim Curry and Michael Palin. I do remember it was very funny. I forgot about it though until I heard part of this audio version on satellite radio. I had to hear the whole thing and I was glad I purchased a copy from Audible. It must be one of the funniest novels ever written with it's dry "English" humor set against the absurd and exagerrated scenarios and the "over-the-top, wild opinions. There is also a true sense of love of the river Thames and of English history.
