Stumped on TV / media wall in open plan! Eyes Pls! (pics)
I hoping someone can give me some inspiration here because I'm not getting a handle on this wall in the whole scheme of things. The TV /media wall is 14'. I have to float the sofas as the other end is the kitchen and dining room. One side is open to the pool area with sliders and the other side is the entry.
I'm thinking I need something roughly 7' or so long and around 30" tall give or take. The center must have open shelves for the center speaker and receiver. I would prefer the rest of the equipment be behind closed doors. I have been looking for things on CL that I could convert with no luck.
However, my other problem that I cannot get a handle on is what sort of color or finish the TV / media cabinet should be. The floor is warmish beige tile but will be partially covered with a rug, the ceiling is a lighter warm beige, sofas are a light warm beige creamy yellowish, the kitchen is vibrant orangey red (lyptus?), amazing gray walls, stone fireplace that jives somewhat with granite countertops that have taupy gray, charcoal, black/brown and a few warm golden and orangey colors. Dining chairs are dark taupe and I'm getting a round glass dining table with brass base. The dining light fixture is a warm 30" sea grass looking shade.
Should I try to bring some of the kitchen cabinet color to the TV wall? Should I do a dark taupe? A light warm beigy creamy yellow? Or something else I'm not thinking of? Maybe something black metal with some brass on it (there will be brass and some stream line bronze in fixtures?
I'm really stumped on the finish and possibilities and need your eyes.
This dining light but it's more vibrant in person.
Kitchen to dining room (brass thing is just propped up there not sure if its staying) and light fixture is not up yet.
Living room rug
These sofas, one a four seater and one a three seat. Both in Florance cream (that leather purse color).

With open concept, I'm personally partial to familyroom cabinets having the same cabinet finish as the kitchen, perhaps with a slightly different style, or different trim, to change up the kitchen look. You need to look at entertainment cabinet designs and see what appeals to you. Floating shelves on either side of the TV might be an attractive option. Some of the major cabinet companies, like Kraftmaid, have brochures or websites showing their familyroom cabinets to give ideas on to how to integrate cabinets between the two rooms. For your situation, black trim would be lovely. By the way, I like all of the choices you have made so far. It's really a beautiful home.
Thanks Tex! I'll look at the examples on that site. I looked on Houzz and google and well …just about everywhere and can't seem to find anything. I think part of the problem is that I think I might need the kitchen color brought to TV wall somehow except I do not love that cabinet color. I do have two small orangey vintage wing chairs from my last house that I might be able to use on that wall but I'm not sure. In my last house I had lots of stuff on walls like art work and tapestries and I am trying to be a bit more restrained here in this open plan. I do like the idea of a few open wall shelves though. This is so hard!!!
I like the idea of using the bottom of this Henredon china cabinet but I'd have to pretty much desecrate it (is that wrong?). Then I would have to redo the top and finish some wood shelves in a same stain. Do I have enough energy for that is the question. Of course I would have to see it in person as I cannot really tell the wood color or condition from the CL picture but they are only asking $500 and it's been up for a while. I like those brass bits on it. Am I way off?
NOPE! I'm not feeling the kitchen cabinet color in a media cabinet on that wall. I think I need to bring kitchen cabinet color over with accessories. What finish on media area though??? I'm stuck! I want something of decent quality and not that chocolate colored stuff. I'm thinking I'll have to paint something. Heeelllppp meee!

Thanks for that yaya! You sent me on a natural stain google and I came up with this. It has some of the warm color but the dark glass has some of the vintage-ish vibe for the house. It would hold all my media components as well. I wonder if the remote for the receiver would work through dark glass doors? Then I wouldn't have to get my bu++ off the sofa once seated. The only thing I don't like are the chrome legs but I could do a brass wax paint over it. Is it too modern?
Not really sure of the exact colour of your cabinets. Did notice that in one of you pictures there is a magnificent set of double doors in a walnut or mahogany finish. From the pictures it looks like that matches your kitchen cabinets. But maybe that is the lighting?
Anyhow...I love the colour of that door. What about matching that colour? You have a very large space with neutral paint, so to me, the deep colour will anchor the space more than a mid range stain.
Could it be that you could just go with the Henredon china cabinet as is? Or is it marked up? Otherwise, could you try staining it a bit darker - less rosewood? It is a great piece.
What I did is to add 2 pieces from IKEA. There is this one line in IKEA that is solid wood - Hemnes.
I bought this tv stand and love it:
It comes longer and in 3 finishes, one them being dark walnut - all solid.
You could flank it with something like this on either side.
Or if you painted the walls a deeper colour you could go with a lighter finish - I painted my room green and put my Hemnes tv table and cabinets in cream (which is basically a cloud white colour - like the Benjamin Moore trim paint),
I seems that you have a really big space so it can stand some colour, either on the walls or furniture.
Let us know what you decide!!! Sure it will be great.
Beautiful home!
I think this sort of arrangement would work very well in your space. It's from Sarah's House, season 4. The console is actually made of kitchen cabinets on legs to make it look like a piece of furniture. It does not extend to either wall which gives it more of a furniture feel than a built-in feel.
Close-up of cabinets. You can use whatever hardware you want and you can add metal corner plates to get the henredon look (which I love).
View from living room into kitchen. The cabinet finish does not need to match.
Jterrilyn, I LOVE the house, it looks very liveable and the updates look good quality and appropriate for the house, so you are starting with a fabulous shell.
That hendredon piece would be marvelous I agree, the brass on it is wonderful. It would require some reworking but the end result would be great. You might be able to mount the two upper cabs from it in your dining room or somewhere else in your house. If not you could donate or sell them.
If you do something new and are set on wood I would not go with the darkest color of the kitchen cabs but the very lightest, almost orange. Your floor tile seems to have small dollops of the orangey color, and that would help lighten up the area overall. Barring orange, something in oak or maple that resembles the lighter tone In your kitchen cabs would work.
Have you considered something metal and glass? You could probably,find something in chrome or black aluminum or iron and glass that would all be open. And agree strongly with suggestin above to mount tv, not use stand. You should be able to fish the wires pretty easily on an interior wall.
And you didn't ask about this, but your fireplace is heavy and that brass piece is also very heavy. I like it (love brass) but would consider putting it elsewhere. Good luck with it all, i want to see your amazing pictures when it's all moved in.
Hi Radley,
The doors appear to be a mix of original stain and a newer gel coat. I had to paint the half bath and utility doors in the nearby area as they were so badly done. I kept three doors in the badly done wood at the end of the hall along with double doors (just like entry) going into the master bedroom. I will tackle the striping and re-staining down the road. I was told the kitchen cabinets were cherry but I swear they look like Lyptus. The crown molding appeared to be a sort of walnut stain (now painted wall color but in a gloss)..
Close-up of door stain on master doors. These are different to the attempt at gel coating on the other bedroom doors to hide a "mom stay out" carving and multiple dog scratches. I don't have a close-up of front door but these master doors are close.
Thank you Kswl, the house has been a lot of work believe it or not to get it to this point. Lots of oddities here! Husband and I have worked our way to the end and have closed this guest bath slider in and added a door with a doggy door. It's not magazine worthy but will make my life easier. This week we also gutted the master and master bath and will be adding a closet. The fireplace was tweaked as well as it was originally an attention hog the minute you walked in. However, so was the kitchen so we tweaked that a bit and it doesn't scream as loud. There were no electric outlets beyond the wall cabinets between windows.
About that brass thing at fireplace…yes I think I agree and that's why I haven't hung it. After I finish the drywall in 2nd bath husband will hang to dining light and we will take it from there.
Also, in my mind I would love to find an old but nice black metal cabinet of some sort with brass on it to use as a media cabinet. There does not seem to be any such thing in my searches. In fact I can't find any of the ideas that are in my head. It just seems like that area needs some brass (a bit) to say it's part of a certain time.
An area I'm doing dual time in. And, some "before" pic's..
Geokid I like that idea and actually looked on Conestoga last night. They didn't have my configuration. It's looking like I need to find a vintage something with brass and tweak it.
I'm thinking that although I like the light wood it seems I might need more of an anchor...and brass!

I'm sorry you don't care for your cherry kitchen cabinets because in the photos they look pretty amazing. I happen to use traditional in my home with brass accents but somehow just can't picture brass in your current house. The entertainment cabinet with the black glass and chrome legs looks perfect to me. Your kitchen cabinets are contemporary and have chrome pulls with black already as a major component. Also, the familyroom sliders have black frames. You could also do Conestoga black entertainment cabinets with small amounts of the trim stained in cherry or use cherry as an accent color in accessories, such as picture frames with a little black and lots of white in the mats.
I'm wondering if there is room to put a little black crown molding at the top of the kitchen wall cabinets and perhaps as trim on the edge of the open shelf wall cabinets. I'd also put more black, stainless or chrome, with plants as accessories on the floating shelves and in the open shelves in the kitchen. The trim might also allow you to hide led tape light to light up the open cabinet. Also, up light the open shelves above the windows at night. (It's always fun to help someone else spend $$$, isn't it?)
I love the sofa you have posted and the familyroom rug looks perfect. You seem to have a great instincts so I would respect your own judgement.
Hey Tex, I really don't dislike my cabinets it's just that when everything is in one big room it makes it a bit harder for me. It's a funny thing about this particular color, most people who come in either hate it or love it. There is no In between . About the brass... I started experimenting with brass and even shiny brass in a contemporay eclectic way a few years ago so I already have a few bits and bobs. I think it's ok to mix as long as things are scattered about evenly. Down the road I might change all the cabinet hardware to a mixed stainless and brass look but haven't seen anything I like yet. I still haven't found a console. The good people here have given me some possibilities I like but have yet to find something that really speaks to me. I think it's one of those things where I will know it when I see it.

I think I like this! What do you think? It has a tic of brass that I want. I'm really having a hard time seeing warm wood on that wall though. Part of me likes it and the other part thinks I need to go dark.
Please see pictures of open plan at top of post.

In Bush's War Room, the Gloves Are Always Off
Published: July 14, 2004
(Page 2 of 2)
The war room has three long tables lined with computers . Most are staffed by college students or recent graduates who constantly monitor politically oriented Web sites and watch the television monitors, which are regularly tuned to all of the major cable and financial news networks, the various C-Span feeds and the major broadcast networks. Each television set has a digital recording device that allows staff members to immediately replay something that may have struck their interest.
The core war room staff of eight begins its workday at 5 a.m. But it is a 24-hour operation fueled by Coca-Cola, coffee and Slurpees. Overnight three to four interns watch the late news programs the late-night comedy shows and the Internet for any campaign news. One critical overnight job is to collect the most important items from the morning newspapers.
Another task is to seek any new clues in local papers about planned appearances by Mr. Kerry, Mr. Edwards or their high-profile surrogates so that the campaign can plan to send its own friendly state representatives to speak against the Kerry campaign.. The schedule, which is sent out to senior Bush communications aides, is titled "Wild-Eyed Watch."
The Monday morning papers included no great revelations about Mr. Kerry and his new running mate.
The schedule, as far as the war room staff could figure it, had Mr. Kerry making appearances in Boston and heading to Orlando, Fla., to address firemen and rescue workers on Wednesday. At a meeting of policy and communications aides, Steve Schmidt, Mr. Bush's deputy communications director, directed his staff to plan a conference call for Orlando reporters with Representative Adam H. Putman of Florida, to criticize Mr. Kerry on various votes.
Noting that a fund-raising concert for Mr. Kerry featuring Jackson Browne was scheduled for Monday night, Mr. Schmidt instructed staff members who deal with reporters to remind them of the Friday night fund-raising concert for Mr. Kerry at which Whoopi Goldberg used lewd jokes to deride Mr. Bush, undercutting Mr. Kerry's claim to represent conservative values. "They've probably got a trap door on the stage this time," Mr. Schmidt said.
For all of the planning for action, and determination to show off its war room to the press, Monday was shaping up as a very dry day. Mr. Kerry, it turned out, was not making his trip to Orlando. The White House was taking the lead on the front of daily battle as Mr. Bush defended his rationale for war. Mr. Kerry's schedule was somewhat limited, which reduced the opportunities for material for the war room staff members. After CNN featured a news segment about an Iguana stuck in a tree, Ms. Devenish declared it one of the slowest news days in memory. The senior staff in the room seemed bored as interns clicked away on the Internet.
But Mr. Kerry's pronouncement that he was proud of the vote against the $87 billion appropriation gave the war room something to attack. He was actually referring to Mr. Edwards when he said: "I'm proud to say that John joined me in voting against that $87 billion when we knew the policy had to be changed."
After Republicans sent an e-mail message about the comment to their vast list of reporters, Mr. Schmidt followed up with telephone calls to select reporters traveling with Mr. Kerry to make sure they noticed it. "The news of the day," Mr. Schmidt proclaimed in one phone call to a reporter, "is an evolution on the $87 billion. Now John Kerry said he was proud." (Mr. Kerry's campaign argued that Mr. Kerry has always stood by his vote and that the Bush campaign was making something out of nothing particularly new. )
On Tuesday, Mr. Bush's aides, while careful not to credit themselves for persuading reporters to jump on the quote, were clearly pleased that it popped up in many articles. Even so, they were not entirely satisfied. Mr. Schmidt said he would ask some of the campaign's surrogates to bring it up again during television appearances.
But in the end, surrogates were not necessary. Mr. Bush, apprised of the quote by his campaign aides, brought it up himself during a speech in Michigan on Tuesday, saying, "Members of Congress should not vote to send troops into battle and then vote against funding them and then brag about it."
That sound bite was featured prominently near the beginning of "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" on Tuesday. The program's average, nightly audience far outreaches any single newspaper: more than 8 million people.

capital Connoisseurian 48 inch or wolf DF
nerdJanuary 23, 2014
I am trying to decide between a 48 DF wolf range and the new capital DF range. I don't have any experience with Capital but have read good things about them. The wolf is about $13,000 whereas I can get a discount on the Capital and it will be about $8,300. Does anyone have any experience with Capital? What would you purchase given the price differential?

White fuzz killing plant
I recently noticed these white, web-like, balls of fuzz on the surface of my plants leaves. I didn't think much of it at first but then the plant began to wilt and the leaves are now yellowing and falling of quickly. I looked into a few forums but found no definitive answers. (Although I've tried increasing airflow around the plant.)
Help would be very, very appreciated. Thank you!
You have mealy bugs. Isolate that plant immediately and check any nearby plants for the same "fuzz". Unpot the plant and check the roots. If they are not slimy or foul smelling, repot into a mix with at least 50% perlite. If you have isopropyl alcohol, I would get a q-tip and soak it in the alcohol and then swab each and every piece of fuzz you see as well as anything that looks like a small, whitish potato bug (you might call it a roly-poly). Check every nook and cranny on your plant. I would then monitor your plant over the next couple of days. Swab with alcohol if you see any more. You may water it, but don't let the soil stay moist. What kind of plant is it? It's hard to tell by your photo.
The timing of this post is perfect! (Not that I wish mealy bugs on anyone!) I noticed white fuzzy spots on my new parlor palm (I've had it for almost 3 weeks) a few days ago, but I haven't seen any bugs. I researched all yesterday and did the alcohol q-tip thing this morning. If I have time, I'll go buy a bag of perlite tomorrow for repotting.
Are mealy bugs a fall thing?
Mike, Can you tell me how one with two small children can check their plants at all times?
Tee hee hee. I am kidding and feeling like a smart a**.
Sorry. ;)
Thank you for the picture of the mealy bug problem. It is helpful to see what to look for should I ever run across this problem. I am sorry you are dealing with this and wish you the best of luck. Please let us know if these solutions work and the plant survives. :)
Once you get done cleaning the mealybugs you can see with the swabs, keep a small misting bottle handy with a solution of one part alcohol to three (give or take) parts water. The mist will be able to get into the little nooks and crannies where the littlest pests are lurking. When sprayed under the leaves, it can get to the spider mites, too.
Rachel, you shouldn't have to worry about repotting. Just make sure that you haven't spread the mealies from place to place with your hands.
I've used isopropyl alcohol for years on nearly all of my plants with no problems whatsoever. Avoid misting plants that are sitting in the full, direct sun, and don't mix a whole bunch of other stuff when you use the alcohol. Don't spray on flowers and do a leaf test on any plants that might be sensitive.

From Everythingtori.com:
We've had a lot of people asking so we thought we would take the opportunity to clarify something. According to the UK Chart Regulations, the limited edition special package of American Doll Posse has been disqualified from the UK Charts. Apparently offering the fans 5 postcards is considered too much of a gift, and sales of the CD are ineligible. Tori made the decision not to compromise the packaging so the UK fans would receive the same presentation as the rest of the world. We appreciate your interest and concern for the situation.
"Too much of a gift"? The sales of all the limited edition copies in the UK aren't going to be counted because of what basically amounts to some extra album artwork? That seems pretty ridiculous to us. Come on, UK chart rulemaking people, these are copies of the ALBUM and they were SOLD. Count them, ferchrissakes.
Update: for interest, under the very short section on "Permitted Free Gifts," the official UK chart rules state:
"Cards" to a maximum of 4. Card(s) must be contained within the format packaging and be 2 sided with no folds. Card(s) maybe printed on both sides. Maximum card size is dictated by the dimensions of the packaging they are to be contained within.
( Randy tells us they disqualified Beck's last album too, because of stickers. Our jaws are on the floor.)
Whomever came up with those rules needs to get to a proctologist immediately. The Undented Doctor diagnoses severe anal retentiveness in need of urgent emergency treatment.
Blonds are flighty, brunets are sensible, and redheads strong-willed and crazy. Or so stereotypes would have us believe. Neither Tori Amos nor Patrick Wolf puts much stock in conventional attitudes, yet each has carved out a niche as distinctive as their carrot-topped counterparts Aphrodite, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Peppermint Patty.
Dane sent us a scan of this article, called "Scarlet Fever," from the May 8, 2007 issue of The Advocate. While it manages to get several things incorrect, it's still pretty fun. Almost as fun as being a redhead is.
Dear 17-year-old self,
I know you spend a lot of your time wishing to be older. You will be, trust me. The focused need to achieve will serve you well. However, being able to laugh could also serve you. You won't stop making mistakes. There is no shame in an honest mistake. Not everyone is deserving of friendship. So why extend a hand of friendship to someone who is not prepared to uphold their end of the bargain? It's better to be alone with your piano than stuck with a so-called friend who undermines you when they can get away with it. Friendship cannot be a one-way relationship. As for boyfriends? Well, what you find attractive now will bore you once you discover the definition of what a "bad boy" truly is. Respecting women and consequently not needing to verbally abuse women to feel powerful, these are truly the sexy bad boys. You will marry one.
P.S. Don't cut your hair for the "Just Right" commercial.

Yes, it might have sold more if she'd cut back, but don't let the length put you off. Amos still has the ability to inspire and move, and just like Bjork, who releases Volta next week, she remains one of the most distinctive female artists in music today.
Djimi sent us this review of American Doll Posse from Megastar:
"Ecstasy has to be e plus e, erotica plus eloquence. And it has always been the eloquence that they've tried to remind me to keep because the first without the last is just—it can be a sad story, a bit tragic."

I photographed some girls from local Des Moines high schools this week.
Most of these ladies are from Roosevelt, although there is one Dowling Catholic student in the mix.
The shoot was the concept of my daughter's friend Rachel, who has helped me quite a bit with
make-up and styling in some of my shoots.
While I knew that all of these girls would be beautiful, I was more impressed with how composed, mature and kind they were.
What bright hope they represent for our future.

How long do you let wiring go?
Currently have a 1922 home with some new and lots of old wiring. The kitchen, baths, and a few other rooms have been updated. But is it worthwhile to rewire the entire place? The living/family/back/study/most bedrooms do not have new wiring since the house was built or were lightly redone in the 70s. Is it a risk to the home at the moment? Am considering doing a whole rewire but it is quite expensive.
It depends on what you have and what you use on those circuits, I'd say. What do you mean by 'lightly redone'?
If the old wiring is in good condition, and you mainly use it for lighting only, then I'd say it can wait...if you plug in every modern entertainment device and use them on the same circuit, then I might replace that circuit...it depends on how you use your devices.
If you have k&t, and it is in good shape, the only problem might be with insurance, but if you have insurance already, then it likely wasn't a factor in getting insured.
I guarantee it wasn't a factor when I got my insurance some twenty years ago in Ohio--in my basement, wiring was replaced and a circuit breaker system installed, but when I've had to replace a fixture or two, I found the old thickly insulated wires of k&t. It was actually in good shape so I left it in place--but then, I don't overload my circuits with power-hungry devices.
When I used to manage a number of older rental homes, I found the biggest risk with the wiring were the modifications over the years by diyers with barely a clue. Such things as extra circuits run with higher AMP fuses, lamp wire used to run circuits, no junction boxes and my favourite: all the finished basement circuits connected directly to the 60AMP main.
At the least, have your wiring and systems inspected by a licensed electrician.
"Aslong as you want to be takin a chance of a fire,big one..
That was one of the first things we did."
Very unlikely unless the wiring is overused or has been messed with (especially knob & tube).
Even old insulation that has become brittle works just fine as long as it is not disturbed.
The"lightly updated would worry me far more than old undisturbed wiring. Get an electrician in to inspect that pronto. If they did a bunch of join this to that and not in a junction box, I'd replace it immediately by a pro. If you're constantly popping breakers, plan to replace it within the year by a pro. If you have a fuse box instead of a breaker box, and you know you have knob and tube, I'd say to plan on replacing it within 2 years, and you have time to learn how to DIY a good portion of the job to save you some money. If it's just some "cleanup" type small wiring, I'd learn how to DIY that and work on it piecemeal with an experienced friend providing you some beer and pizza assistance.
If you have any other remodeling projects planned, the electrical goes to the top of the list now. Very few older homes can support the electrical demands of today's kitchens.
Thanks for the advice. By lightly redone, I mean 3 prong plugs were installed over the old 2 prong ones we used to have. Fortunately I'm never blowing breakers or anything along those lines. Heavy load stuff like entertainment systems have all new plugs and runs.
A tester will tell you if the old circuits are grounded. If the load isn't blowing circuits now, then it can wait if the wires looked good.
A concern might be grounded outlets in the kitchen or bath...otherwise from what you say it seems fine.
it is impossible to answer the question without more information.
the first safety hazard will come from wiring modifications - places where new wire was spliced into old, etc. if work to this point has been handled by professionals, this won't be an issue.
the second safety hazard will come from using three-prong devices in ungrounded outlets. the human safety risk can be eliminated by installing GFCI receptacles in these locations. the equipment protection aspect can largely be addressed through a whole-house surge protector.
if it were me, i would determine if the "new wiring" is, in fact new, and not joined with old K&T in haphazard circuits. exceptions would be something like keeping K&T from a light switch to a fixture. that is typically not a big deal. for my purposes, i would consider everything that is NOT K&T as "new."
That tester will not tell you what you need to know - is the insulation on your antique wiring cracking and in danger of shorting out and causing a fire. It will tell you if someone replaced a two prong (ungrounded) outlet with a 2P&G (two prong and grounded) outlet without actually grounding the outlet. That is dangerous only in that you may forget that it isn't truly grounded and be surprised when your computer turns into a toaster over night. Someone was right that adding one GFCI outlet on each circuit is an effective way of adding more circuit protection - required near water but useful elsewhere - but if you have a dirt crawl space it's not too hard to drive a few spikes into the ground and run ground wires up into the walls to your junction boxes. Or you can borrow a ground from a nearby circuit that is grounded. But get rid of the K & T wiring altogether - it's fine undisturbed but what happens when you go in the attic for some reason and disturb it? Or if you want to add insulation? Or critters come along and disturb it for you? Fix the wiring first. Now. Today.
"That tester will not tell you what you need to know - is the insulation on your antique wiring cracking and in danger of shorting out and causing a fire. "
K&T only depends on the insulation on the wires in the final connection to a JB or outlet.
Plain old air is the real insulation on most f a K&t system.
The insulation on the wires is for personnel protection to prevent contact with a conductor.
The hot and neutral are run many inches from each pother, and only come together at a JB or outlet to a device using power.
'Loom' was used to simply hold the wires together.
An open sort of 'netting.'
We bought a house built in 1957. Haha, it's younger than me. Nothing had been updated, but we thought it was cute. One night, while watching TV, half the rooms in the house went dark. We called in an electrician, who replaced all the wiring in the house. Including a new circuit box. Pretty expensive, around $10,000. But money well spent. The Town we live in required an inspection and issued us a "Certificate of Occupancy". We have done some room remodels since then, and moved an interior wall. But we are pleased our electric is modern. When we put in outdoor lighting and a swimming pool, there were no complications. You are playing with fire if there's 1922 wires anywhere.
"You are playing with fire if there's 1922 wires anywhere."
Old K&T that has not been messed with remains perfectly safe and acceptable under the NEC.
It is almost always the 'modern' attempts at alteration that are NOT done corretly. Ever seen an electrician solder anything in the past 80 years?.
The insurance companies like using it as a scapegoat.
According to the Ontario Electrical Safety Authority
* Knob & Tube wiring is unsafe.
* All knob and tube wiring must be disconnected and replaced.
* The Ontario Electrical Safety Code no longer recognizes knob and tube wiring as an acceptable
wiring method.
* Knob & Tube wiring is safe, provided it is properly maintained by competent licensed people as outlined above.
* The Electrical Safety Authority as well as the Ontario Electrical Safety Code recognize and accept knob and tube wiring methods.
* The Ontario Electrical Safety Code 2002 edition contains rules that govern the installation of open type wiring methods (knob & tube). Rules 12-200 to 12-224 set out the minimum safety standards for the installation of open wiring, which may still be installed to this day."
Nevertheless, the practical reality is that, depending on your jurisdiction, many/most/all insurance companies will not cover you if you have k&t installed. Furthermore, if you check the restrictions on k&t in the linked bulletin, you will see limitations that make its continued use impractical, costly and inconvenient for most families.
An electrician soldered and taped two wires in my kitchen ceiling octagonal box in 1950. I called the electrical inspector and asked him what, if anything, I should do about it. After I told him the tape was not brittle, he told me to leave it alone. I could tell that he regarded soldering as some kind of golden age of electrical craftsmanship.
We have a 1920s home. Just a few years ago we had an electrician replace our fuse box with breakers and add a couple grounded outlets. And he looked over the old wiring where he could see it. He said no immediate problems but a good idea to replace eventually. I think very competent people built our house so we are pretty confident.
We couldn't run the toaster oven, coffee pot and microwave all at one time if the kitchen light is on, but hey who cares! Haven't had any problems since the breakers were installed.
We're saving up to redo the electrical once we finish painting and repairing, put on new roof and rebuild garage. Probably at same time as new garage with aptment above will be the time.
"We couldn't run the toaster oven, coffee pot and microwave all at one time if the kitchen light is on, but hey who cares! Haven't had any problems since the breakers were installed. "
Now you know why the NEC has required two 20 amp small appliance branch for the kitchen counters.
It's not something you normally think about BUT if your home is in a flood did you know that the electrical panel IF submerged under water during the flood needs to be replaced as well as the wiring in the house?
I'm learning more than I ever cared to know about flooding issues.

The former Foreign Minister, Abdullah Abdullah, is leading his closest rival Ashraf Ghani in the Afghan presidential election, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) said on Sunday, with the early results indicating a run-off vote is likely.
The eventual winner will have to lead the fight against a resurgent Taliban as U.S.-led combat troops prepare to leave at year-end, and strengthen an economy reliant on declining aid money.
"Today we announce the partial results of 26 provinces with 10 per cent of votes counted, these include [provinces] in the north, south, east, west and Kabul," said Yousuf Nuristani, the IEC chief.
"With 500,000 votes from 26 provinces Dr. Abdullah is leading with 41.9 per cent; Dr. Ashraf Ghani has 37.6 per cent and is in second; and Zalmai Rassoul has 9.8 per cent in third position."
A run-off election between the two leading candidates will be triggered if no single candidate gains more than 50 per cent of the vote when the final results are announced in late May.
But Mr. Nuristani cautioned against reading too much into the early results.
"These results are changeable... today one candidate might be leading but when we announce more results another candidate might be leading," he said.
More than seven million people defied bad weather and Taliban threats of violence and went on to exercise their franchise in the first round of the election held on April 5, earning praise from world leaders. — AFP

How to sow ?
basket76(Z7 France)February 7, 2006
Could you give me an advice for sowing:
Lilium japonica
Lilium auratum
Thanks for your help.
Both are delayed hypogeals; after their initial germination they'll need to experience some chilling before appearing above ground.
Follow the instructions for orientals in the link below to speed things up. Remember to inspect the seeds regularly in the bags for signs that something is happening (individual species vary in the time they take, and so can different varieties within a species).
Good Luck

Great Product!!! Just what I expected. :)
This product is EXACTLY as I expected it to be. It arrived and I was pleasantly surprised that it was just as explained by the company in the product information. I am so thrilled with my decision to purchase this little desk. It's the perfect size for what I needed. Some of the reviews that I read claimed that the product was much smaller than they anticipated, but if you read the measurements, it's just as described. I intend to enjoy my desk for many years! Very happy with this purchase. :)Read More
Nice,very nice...
I had shopped extensively on the internet for a small secretary desk. I found Overstock.com by far had the best prices! Make sure you measure your area, and take note of the desks' dimensions before you order! This desk is much darker-more like a cherry/walnut stain then what is shown in the display pics. It is beautiful! It was very well packaged- LOTS of styrofoam. It wasn't too difficult to unpack, but the styrofoam makes a pretty good mess. Here's a bit more info. regarding attaching the legs that was omitted from other reviews I read. There's 8 really long screws that get screwed into pre-drilled holes. The manufacturer includes a hex-head type tool to use. But about the 4th screw, my hand really hurt. For a woman I do have a lot of hand strength...it still was a bit difficult. If you have a ratchet w/ a hex bit get it out. The slot shelving is removable, it just slides out if you'd like more space. In the picture it shows items on the top shelf...FYI, that shelf is 7" depth. And the side section supports slide out automatically when the desk is opened- very cool! :) There are drawer-stops inside at the top of all the drawers that get turned downward preventing the drawers from coming all the way out. Just feel around for them. The one reviewer stated that they added some knobs. The drawers have carved-out sections for you to grab onto to open the drawers. But fold down door does not. You have to grab it from the sides and pull it down. Not difficult at all. I did not bolt it the wall as some have. I had stored some heavier items in the bottom drawer which no doubt helps prevents it from tipping. With the exception of a few areas where they missed a spot in staining (I just touched it up w/ furniture stain markers) the desk is well made and worth the money.Read More
Mixed rating
I purchased this desk and am very pleased with the look as well. I am unhappy about the drop down part of the desk because when you close it, the pull out support on one side does not go all the way in so it is not flush with the desk. I am constantly walking by trying to push it in.This was discovered after all of the unwrapping and assembly. It was too much trouble to pack back up return and hope for a replacement without this manufacturer assembly error.Read More
Beautiful and well made desk
This is a winner. I gave all catagories a 5 as this product deserves it. I chose to take the easily removable insides of the desk out, and put the little shelves on top with candles, etc. on it. Then on the inside of the compartment, I put all of my makeup and brushes, put a little ornate half chair up and sit and put my makeup on every day. The drawers are well made and hold my extra facial tissues and swabs. Again, this product is very well made, looks much more expensive than it is and is extremely sturdy. You can't go wrong.Read More
Small Office Secretary Desk
Excellent piece of furniture, easy to assemble, timely delivered. Looks like the photo with lovely carvings; the wood's stained darker by a few shades and has highly functional, easy sliding 3 drawers. Exact size I needed for a small office. Solid wood construction.Read More
This is a very nice desk and shipped quickly. I was a little unhappy with the size you can not put much in the inside of the desk top part is is only about 10 inches. If you are looking for a place to put a few items this is a good piece of furature. The little drawers will not hold a 12 inch ruler and the bottom draw will hold only haning files you can not put any taps on the folder if you do the draw will catch. Over all it is a nice desk and looks good in a small space. I did keep it and am trying to make it work. It is more of a writting desk not for all your bills.Read More

How to Clean Computer Desks
Most people probably don't realize the importance of keeping computer desks clean. If you fail to clean your computer desks, the dirt and dust buildup can eventually harm your computer. Dust and dirt can get trapped and build up on your computer fan, making it less effective. If enough builds up, it can cause the computer to trap too much heat without cooling down, making the computer overheat, short circuit, burn out the motor or even start a fire. Plus, dust can make your computer screen permanently cloudy if it isn't dusted off frequently. Not to mention you don't want to present visitors to your office with a dirty secretary desk or executive desk. Instead of waiting for your computer's performance or your co-workers opinion of your hygiene to suffer, get in the routine of cleaning your office desk. Here are some tips on how to go about it.
FAQs about Desks
Your home office desk is where you go to work on homework, pay bills, browse the Internet, complete crafts and so much more. Your desk needs to be a place where you are comfortable, but it also needs to blend in with your current furniture. Whether you have your own home office or you use a corner of your living room for home office furniture, a functional and stylish desk will make your life easier. Office desks are available in many different styles and materials. Each home office desk offers something different to your home office. Consider these common questions before shopping for computer desks, office desks and other office furniture.
Helpful Features of Office Desks
Deciding to have an office desk in your home office is not difficult; deciding which office desk or computer desk you want, however, can be a challenge. After all, you can find hundreds of different desks while shopping online, and if you don't know what you're looking for, they may all seem pretty similar. Nevertheless, office desks do differ quite a bit, especially in features. Home office desks can come with a number of different features, some of which are helpful and some of which may be superfluous. Keep reading for information on some popular home office desk features that you may want for your home office.
Tips on Assembling a Computer Desk
Most computer desks are not assembled when you purchase them, especially when you are shopping online. However, your new desk should come with instructions to help you put everything together quickly. With a few tools, a little time, and a helper, you can put together your new computer desk and get to work.
How to Measure an Office for a Desk

Billboard campaign aims to foster a community dialogue.
The billboards are difficult to miss. Mayor Don Ness said he's gotten hate e-mails from all over the world. "Die, scum, die," said one.
Photo: Richard Tsong-Taatarii, Star Tribune
DULUTH - A close-up of a white woman's face confronts motorists from billboards plastered along major roads here with the message, in large, black letters: "It's hard to see racism when you're white."
The billboards are part of the Un-Fair Campaign, which also includes dozens of posters that have appeared in office windows, including one poster depicting a young woman with this message written in black marker across her forehead: "Is white skin really fair skin?"
One of the stated goals of the campaign is to create a community dialogue. In that regard, it got more than it bargained for.
Hundreds of the city's white residents have complained that the campaign's kick-off images and messages are offensive. The campaign, they say, blames all racism on whites and implies that white people aren't smart enough to recognize racism.
Meanwhile, the campaign's defenders and sponsors, including Mayor Don Ness, say they've received dozens of hateful messages and e-mails from all over the world, as news of the campaign hit websites that cater to white supremacists and other racists. One message to Ness: "Die, scum, die."
"I became kind of a lightning rod for groups outside our community," said Ness, who was accused in messages from as far away as Scotland of inviting "white genocide" and being a "traitor" to his race.
"It was disappointing to see the level of hate and ugliness," he said.
Ness said he's also heard "heartfelt objections" to the campaign from many "thoughtful, well-meaning" Duluthians.
One of those citizens, Phil Pierson, created a Facebook page called "Stop Racist Unfair Campaign" to air objections to it. More than 425 people became members.
Pierson frequently posts messages admonishing members to keep the discussion civil, and he deplores the white supremacist rhetoric showing up in some messages to community leaders.
Still, said Pierson, the campaign erred by opening with such jarring messages and images.
"You can't open a discussion on race and hope to see it move in a positive direction when you raise the topic by stereotyping an entire race," Pierson said. "It spreads animosity and hate, teaches a new generation to point fingers and [focuses] on the color of our skin instead of the idea that we're all human."
The 'invisible' problem
The Un-Fair Campaign, which launched with the billboards last month and so far has spent $4,600, didn't set out to shock or offend people, although organizers are glad they got the community's attention, said Ellen O'Neill, executive director of the YWCA of Duluth, one of the campaign's 15 sponsors.
She said the sponsors, which also include several colleges, worked with a PR firm to come up with the messages, which they hope will help white people try to imagine what it's like to be non-white in a place like Duluth, which is 90 percent white.
"It's possible to never interact with a person of color here," O'Neill said. "It makes the problem more invisible."
O'Neill said the campaign is directed at people 18 to 30 years old because market research indicated that people of that age group were more likely to lead behavior-changing movements, such as anti-smoking or recycling campaigns.
She said the stakes are high because only 25 percent of Duluth's black students and 34 percent of American Indian students graduate from high school in four years, compared with 80 percent of white students. Similarly, she said, census data indicate that only 18 percent of the city's whites live in poverty, compared to 67 percent of blacks and 56 percent of American Indians.
"How is our community going to prosper and grow if such disparities exist?" she wrote in a recent op-ed article in the Duluth News-Tribune. "How can we accept such inequality?"
Now that the campaign has the community's attention, its focus will move to hosting community meetings with such provocative titles as "Cracking the Shell of Whiteness." The meetings are designed to promote discussions between people of different races and education about how institutions such as schools and companies might build in privileges that benefit people from the dominant culture and hurt people outside it.
A Wednesday panel discussion at the College of St. Scholastica drew more than 400 people, most of them college students. School spokesman Bob Ashenmacher said the audience listened to an all-white panel discuss ways in which they became aware of so-called white privilege.
Ness said Duluth already showed it can have uncomfortable discussions about race relations. Several years ago, despite decades of silence and initial resistance from some city leaders, Duluthians placed a memorial on the downtown street corner where a white mob lynched three black circus workers in 1920, what many have called the darkest moment in the city's history.
Change of perspective
Chuck Horton, a boxing promoter who runs a gym in Duluth, said the Un-Fair campaign has changed his point of view, even though he wasn't exactly looking for it.
Horton said he was initially put off by the billboards and posters.
Some saw an insult
"I didn't like the way they were worded," he said. "They implied white people can't see racism, so we must be stupid. That was insulting to me."
But then Horton took a ride through rural Duluth with one of his fighters, Al Sands, who is black. The billboards came up, and the two argued about whether whites really see racism toward non-whites.
Just then, Horton said, their car passed a police officer in a squad car, off the road observing traffic, and both Horton and Sands saw the officer do a double-take.
"The cop even pulled up out of the ditch to get a better look at us," Horton said. "Al said that kind of thing happened to him all the time."
"I don't believe in coincidence," Horton said. "It's so ironic that we had that experience exactly when we did. I believe it was a message to me to see things through other people's eyes."

I loved the location. The grounds around the office were gorgeous and adorable. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, lots to choose from.
Drains in sink and tub didn't work properly
TV sound didn't work at all
The hotel is close to shopping and restaurants which are within easy walking distance.
The room was not the cleanest; counters were dusty, floors could use a better vacuuming and the walls in the shower area were slightly mildewed. The towels may have been washed but were heavily stained. It looked as though they were used as rags from the garage. The rooms are not all that well insulated, so you can hear neighboring rooms showers and folks talking outside.
No bot water internet not working bad bed holes in blankets door lock didn't work
Next to road very loud
Was very attractive and modern looking.
1. Hollow doors which made for hearing a lot of outside noise.
2. The doors in my room were somewhat broken, I couldn't open the door without extreme force at times.
3. The window curtains did not close 100 percent so there was always extra light that kept me from sleeping easily.
It smelled like somebody was smocking in the room, flood was sticky, some white stuff in the toilet, very poor cleaning services. Did not like it at all.
I liked the breakfast. They had two types of cereal, cinnamon rolls, make your own waffles, toast, oatmeal. Drinks included orange juice, apple juice, coffee, hot chocolate, and milk. If you need a place to stay for a night and hardly in the hotel this would be perfect. Room also came with a microwave and rmini fridge. View of the outlets through the window.
I didn't like the comforter. It looks like a 90s style blanket. The tv is outdated.the bathroom door didn't stay open on it's own. It was held open by a mini trash can.
The beds were comfortable, and the amenities were adequate.
The room "felt" clean, but the smell indicated otherwise. The odor in the room was overwhelming with the smell of a locker room or dirty socks perhaps.
The coffee at breakfast was not fresh, and as a result, not drinkable.
Easy to find.
Room was way too small, floor was uneven, bed was very worn out, needed new mattress.
The grounds were well maintained and attractive
The room seemed clean enough, but the decor and carpet were worn. The mattress was the worst aspect room- worn and shaped like a canoe. My back ached by the morning. The walls are paper thin, conversation can be heard from the adjacent room.
It was the best price around for a chain motel, flat screen tv
No iron, no coffee in room, tiny room, the breakfast juice machine broken and the hotel didn't even provided water for guests, nothing to drink!!!
Staff was friendly, and seemed to want to help. Nice bathroom -- looked like it had been recently renovated.
There were many things, but none of them compared to the smell. It was like swimming in a pool of air freshener. Even now, days afterward, I can't get the smell out of my hair. I tried another room, and it smelled the same.
There was a fridge and microwave. Clean and the staff was nice.
The location was good. The room was clean.
Upon check-in my husband & I were offered a King, but our room had 2 double beds. We were able to trade, but then our shower was barely warm (much too cold). Also, could not control the temperature which was too warm for a comfortable night's sleep.
Friendly staff and very clean up-to-date rooms.
Hotel toiletries were not very good, but if you carry your own this would not be a problem.
Location was hard to find, they were doing construction when I was there, it had a tv, microwave, table and fridge. All of that wasn't really necessary. I used it for a short trip and it would have been better if they just put the bed in there and an updated tv. It was extremely over priced for what I paid for, I would have been better off sleeping in my car and saving my money.
Lots of noise from room above. Flooring does not appear to be adequately noise proofed.
Staff was very cordial & helpful. I
It's an older hotel so the walls are rather thin. A little too noisey. Pillows were pretty bad.
We were returning from a trip out of the country and needed a place to stay over before driving home the following day. It was a bit of a drive from the San Jose airport, but VERY worth it! Despite being close to the freeway, the Quality Inn was perfect. Quiet, romantic, and a great value. The property was clean, some of the furnishings were worn and had obviously had full lives, but were clean.
We were disappointed that when we tried the hot tub, it was not warm enough to get in. The pool had just cracked, we didn't mind that, but would have liked to have used the spa =) Overall, a great experience, would stay here again.
Before we could unpack, the staff requested that we move to a different room twice.
We slept on a box spring, there literely was no mattress just a hard box spring.
Crap hotel. Put a $150 hold on credit card. Still on card 4 days later. I will never stay there again This is the best
See a b
The only issue in the room we stayed in was that the shower curtan was dirty and there was mold in the grout of the shower and along the caulking on the outside of the shower.

Hey everyone. I'm getting desperate to get one of my all time favorite VSTs working again. Unfortunately, after Rossetta was abandoned after 10.7 was released for OS X. Since Wizoo was bought out by digidesign, support for the Wizoo instruments ended. Therefore Darbuka and Latigo would never be able to work on a newer system.
Does anyone have any advice installing Darbuka on an older Mac? I downgraded a MacBook (not sure at the moment but probably a Macbook 1,1 2,1, or 3,1) to Snow Leopard because it's the last version of the OS with supports Rossetta. I still could not get Darbuka to load into Ableton Live 9 Lite and one other free DAW I tried. Even if I can get the VST to work one day, how will I authenticate my license now that the Wizoo company is nonexistent? They probably shutdown the license server by now. Any help would be awesome.
