MSNBC's "Countdown" show host, Keith Olbermann, recently claimed that today's "federal budget debt" is "far less than it was throughout the Reagan administration." He also said it is "about the same as it was in 1970." Is he right? Tonight's countdown:
10) What is a "federal budget debt"? No researcher, intern or night security guard told him that there is no such thing? No one fact checked him before he went on-air? Add this to the ever-growing catalog of Olbermann's greatest hits kept by the indispensable NewsBusters.org.
9) There is a federal (or national) debt. There is an annual federal budget deficit.
8) Let's assume he meant the "federal debt" -- the amount of money the government owes. This number can be stated in dollars. It can also be stated as a percentage of gross domestic product (total value of goods and services we produce in a given year).
It makes more sense to talk about these numbers as a percentage of GDP. Consider two scenarios. Suppose you make 10K per year. You also owe 10K on your credit cards. Now suppose you make 100K per year. But, again, you owe 10K. In the second case, your debt is far less of a big deal because -- as a percentage of your earnings -- your debt went from 100 percent to 10 percent. Our economy usually grows every year, so stating debt as a percentage gives a better idea of its impact.
Either way -- as dollars or a percentage of GDP -- Olbermann was wrong about the debt.
At the end of 1988, the final full year of the Reagan presidency, the debt stood at $2.6 trillion. As a percentage of GDP, the debt stood at 52 percent.
Now examine President Barack Obama's first year in office. It is part former President George W. Bush's and part President Obama's. (But as senator, Obama voted for the 2009 budget, which included the TARP bank bailout, since expanded.) In 2009, the debt was over $12 trillion. As a percentage of GDP, the debt was over 83 percent.
Obama's first-year debt, therefore, is higher than the debt of any Reagan year by far -- both in dollars and as a percentage of GDP. And 2010 is projected to continue this upward spiral.
7) Assume Olbermann didn't mean "federal debt," but meant "budget deficit" -- the annual gap between what the government takes in and what the government spends.

Appartamente facilmente raggiungibile a 500 mt dalla metro A fermata colosseo. Luoghi di maggior interesse facilemente raggiungibili a piedi .
L'appartamento molto carino, pulito e ben tenuto.
Ursula molto gentile e disponibile a rispondere a qualsiasi ora.
Unser Aufenthalt in Rom war dank Ursula unvergesslich! Das Apartment fanden wir wie beschrieben und die Lage war für Sightseeing ideal. Meine wärmste Empfehlung!
The apartment is well-situated (15 min walking distance to the piazza venezia and lots of public transportations right accross the street). Ursula gave us lots of information ((website hidden) maps page filled with markers for restaurants etc.). Ursula visited us twice to see how it was going. We were thankful for the flexible check-in/check-out. The apartment had almost everything we needed and was clean (except the dishes in the kitchen).
But: Be prepared for cold nights in the winter time. I was also quite noisy. The warmwater is not enough for four people.
The location is very good - 5 min walk to the Colosseum and 2 min to the bus station. The apartment is comfortable for 4 persons.
However, the room is not warm enough during the night because the central heating system are shut down during the night
Ursula welcomed us personally in her nice apartment. She speaks English very well and has nice tips to do, see and to eat. The apartment was clean and tidy, nice kitchen supplies and just a few minutes from the Colosseum. The apartment is on the ground floor and that makes it pretty noisy, especially at night with cars passing by. Overall we had a good experience here.
The apartment was clean and exactly as described. We were there in a delightful time for weather where you could leave the windows open. Unfortunately this meant a lot of street noise but hey, that's part of the experience right? Overall a fantastic place to stay and it was very well decorated and organized. They really thought of everything you might need! Would stay again. Location was also perfect.
Ursula è stata un ottimo host per il nostro soggiorno di tre giorni: gentile e subito disponibile quando si è verificato un inconveniente, per porre rimedio al quale si è prontamente mossa.
L'appartamento è curato e in una posizione molto comoda per visitare la città - a pochi minuti a piedi dal Colosseo!
Clara, Bianca e Mariolina
Facilement accessible et bien situé, proche du Colisée mais pas dans la zone touristique. Environnement et quartier agréables. L'appartement en lui-même est bien, propre et agréable. Ursula est très accueillante et nous a donné pas mal d'info. Seul hic: le bruit. En tant que citadines, le bruit de la circulation (bien présent vu qu'au rez-de-chaussée et pas de double vitrage) ne nous a pas encore trop dérangées mais problème d'insonorisation général de l'appartement, surtout avec la porte d'entrée qui claque dès l'entrée et la sortie d'un résident. Boules Quies obligatoires et si vous avez le sommeil léger, évitez.
un sitio perfecto con todo lo necesario para unas buenas vacaciones es fantástico todo el apartamento y sus anfitriones muy amables mil gracias ;-)
Ursula was helpful in arranging my staying.
Appartment is really well arranged, and well located - though a tad noisy as it is located at the groundfloor.
It was a pleasure to meet and host Ursula and her friends. They took good care of the apartment, keeping it clean and tidy. Strongly recommended to all other hosts.
grazie Florent un piacere
Carlo is a very nice guy that I had the chance to meet thanks to salone del mobile..we talked so easily about a lot of things that I felt like I already knew him! He invited me to his place in Rome and suggested me to visit nice places of salone del mobile. It was very enjoyable to speak with him!

It'll be done middle of next week.
In the meantime I picked up a Streamlight TLR-4. It's the newest light/laser compact combo for Compact guns.
Can't wait to get it and take it to the range.
I am excited to hear how it shoots! I have an M&P 40 that I love and have been thinking about getting an M&P 40c for CC. I like that in a pinch I can use the mags from my full size in the 40c. They have been getting some TV time on Top Shot this week and Top Guns. Pretty cool to see it perform in the hands of pros.
I'll be picking it up Friday. I have been waiting 3 weeks. Can't wait to finally have it my possession.
Picked it up today. The finish is excellent and the VTAC NS are fantastic. Also the trigger is supper light.
All in all it's a one of a kind M&P.
Very nice!! Can't wait for the range report. Congratulations!

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 hits Steam Early Access today
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is hitting Steam Early Access today. The sequel to the 2009 point-and-click adventure game was successfully funded via Kickstarter and looks just as charming as the original. I'm a huge fan of adventure games and I'm very impressed with the comeback the genre is making, so I hope we see many more quality titles like this one.
The original Book of Unwritten Tales was surprisingly accessible. The classic high fantasy scene is set with the Alliance locked in conflict with the malevolent Shadow Army, and while both factions are comprised of textbook stuff, the tale they're involved in is actually engaging. I'm interested to see how the sequel plays out. Has anyone else given the series a look?
The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 still needs some work

Plant identification
I have several plants I need to identify because a bunch of things started growing in a patch of dirt we aquired to fill a depression in our yard. I am curious to find out what they are to help determine if they are worth saving and just cause I'm curious. :) I guess I need to start with one at a time?
This one is about 6" tall, the leaves about 3" long and alternating in a spiral formation. I think the leaves are an ovoid shape, the base is oblique and attenuate. Some hairs grow on the leaf undersides, leaf stems and sepals.
The flowers are a white/creamy yellow color, when flattened are a little over an inch wide and are growing at the leaf base. It's like one large star shaped petal (bell?) with 5 points and the anthers are rather large.
It has some off shoot branches at the base but mainly one tall stem that is also a little purple tinted closer to the base of the plant.
I'm not sure if this whole explanation was necessary, or if the picture was enough... Thanks! ;)
It appears to be in the Solanaceous family, the family that includes Nightshades, Tomatoes and Potatoes.
Does the flower have a darker coloured throat? There is a chance your plant is of the genus Physalis. Physalis heterophylla is fairly common but the yellow flowers are usually pendulus and have distinct darker markings.
Thanks that really helps narrow it down I think. It looks a lot like those lantern plants but its not very tall. I think I'll just post my next pic on this same thread instead of making a new one to see how it goes. I haven't really spent time investigating this one so I don't have much to say about it ;)

In your bag No: 586 – Johann Meunier
Todays bag comes from France and features a couple of classic battleship cameras. Come and check out what Johann shoots with them. A lovely bag for a Sunday.
Firstly, sorry for my bad english.
My name is Johann Meunier. I am 25 years old. I live in Reims – France.
It's been four years since I do photography. I meet my wife with this passion.
I do Urbex photography with my Canon F1 et A1. I'm a Canon lover.
In my bag you can see:
- Canon F1 new – motor drive and power winder with a 85mm 1.2L canon.
- Canon A1 – motor drive and power winder
- Lens Canon fd fish eye 7,5mm 5.6
- Lens Canon fd new 50mm 1.4
- Lens Canon fd new 28mm 2.8
- Polaroid SX-70 land camera model 2
- Waist level finder F1N 6x

I start doing photography portrait and landscape. Pictures on various themes. And it's been a year since I made URBEX photography. I love looking spots on the maps, find informations in the books. Then faith on spot and find the entrance to do the right shot.
I love architecture of the buildings. The film photography fits perfectly with the theme search.
I am a fan of Canon F1 it's my best body camera. It's really perfect in every way for me. And with the 85mm 1.2L the balance is perfect.

Ave Maria
- Look inside(1)
- Instrument:
- Ensemble:
- Format:
Ave Maria composed by Josquin des Prez (1440-1521). Edited by Ralph W. Buxton. For SATB choir a cappella. Liturgical Use: Marian Feasts. Text: Latin. Choral. Vocal score. Text Language: Latin. Duration ca. 5 minutes. Published by Notre Dame Choir Editions (PE.NDC003).
With Text Language: Latin. Choral.
Possibly the most well-known of Josquin's works, this motet conveys an exquisite sense of form, a directness and simplicity of joyous expression, and an exceptionally clear tonal structure. Quoting the first few lines and the opening melody of a Gregorian chant sequence as a prelude, the composer freely sets a rhymed poem of five stanzas familiar from books of hours (prayer books) dating back to the 14th century. Each stanza begins with the word "Ave" and describes one of the five joyful mysteries of the Blessed Virgin. The motet concludes with a moving personal plea of utmost simplicity and directness: "O Mother of God, remember me.".

HOUSTON — Steven Hauschka kicked a 45-yard field goal in overtime to give the Seattle Seahawks a 23-20 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday and the first 4-0 start in franchise history.
Houston (2-2) failed to score on two possessions in overtime. The Seahawks got the win on their second drive in overtime after rallying from a 20-3 deficit.
A key play on the winning drive came when Doug Baldwin caught a 7-yard pass and Kareem Jackson was penalized for unnecessary roughness for dumping him into the ground. That got Seattle in field goal range and Hauschka's kick came four plays later.
The Seahawks rallied to tie it at 20-20 on an interception return for a touchdown by Richard Sherman in the fourth quarter.
Lions 40, Bears 32
DETROIT — Reggie Bush's 37-yard touchdown run helped Detroit score 27 points in the second quarter and he accounted for 173 yards of offense to help the Lions beat Chicago.
Detroit (3-1) moved into a first-place tie with Chicago (3-1) in the NFC North. The Lions scored 24 straight points, including three TDs in a span of 3 minutes, 26 second, after Matt Forte's 53-yard TD run gave the Bears 10-6 lead early in the second quarter.
Jay Cutler, who had four turnovers, threw a pair of touchdown passes and 2-point conversions in the final 4 minutes to pull Chicago within eight points to make the score look respectable.
Lions receiver Kris Durham recovered the onside kick to seal the win.
Chargers 31, Cowboys 20
SAN DIEGO — Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and three touchdowns, including a 56-yarder to Antonio Gates.
The Chargers (2-2) had blown late leads in their two losses this season. On Sunday, they scored the final 20 points to beat Dallas (2-2).
Rivers short-armed a pass over the middle to Gates, who slid behind linebacker Sean Lee to haul it in and score with 6:54 to go.
Lee had intercepted Rivers on a deflected pass and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown and a 21-10 lead late in the second quarter. Dallas didn't score again.
Tony Romo moved the Cowboys to the San Diego 7 and hit Terrance Williams, who fumbled at the 1. San Diego's Richard Marshall recovered in the end zone with 2:42 left.
Titans 38, Jets 13
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Jake Locker threw a career-high three touchdowns before being taken to the hospital with an injured right hip. Locker was hurt early in the third quarter when hit first by Muhammad Wilkerson after throwing an incomplete pass, then popped by Quinton Coples. He grabbed at his hip as he went to the ground and was carted off the field before being loaded into an ambulance. The Titans had no immediate word on the severity of his injury.
Alterraun Verner intercepted two passes and recovered a fumble, Karl Klug sacked Geno Smith and stripped him of the ball for a TD as the Titans turned Smith's four turnovers into 28 points. Ropati Pitoitua had two of Tennessee's five sacks as the Titans (3-1) continued their surprising start.
The Jets (2-2) couldn't overcome Smith's rookie mistakes.
Redskins 24, Raiders 14
OAKLAND, Calif. — Robert Griffin III threw a go-ahead touchdown pass late in the third quarter to help Washington overcome an early 14-point deficit for its first win of the season.
David Amerson returned an interception for another score for the Redskins (1-3).
Washington looked ready to extend the worst start for the franchise since 2001 when they fell behind 14-0 after the first quarter thanks to a blocked punt touchdown and a scoring pass from Matt Flynn.
But the much-maligned Washington defense allowed the Raiders (1-3) no more points, taking advantage of an offense that was without starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor the entire game and starting running backs Darren McFadden and Marcel Reece for most of it.
Bills 23, Ravens 20
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso's second interception of the game with 57 seconds remaining sealed a win over Baltimore.
Converted safety Aaron Williams also intercepted Joe Flacco twice, while Fred Jackson had 87 yards rushing and a touchdown for Buffalo (2-2).
Robert Woods scored on a 42-yard touchdown reception. Buffalo totaled 203 yards rushing against a stout Ravens defense that had allowed just 224 in its first three games.
Joe Flacco threw a career-worst five interceptions, and finished 25 of 50 for 347 yards passing, and two touchdowns.
Torrey Smith had five catches for 166 yards and a 26-yard touchdown for the Ravens (2-2).
The Ravens' last chance to tie the game ended when Flacco forced a pass over the middle intended for Dallas Clark. Safety Da'Norris Searcy got a piece of the ball, which bounced into the air and was intercepted by Alonso.
Cardinals 13, Buccaneers 10
TAMPA, Fla. — Carson Palmer threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Larry Fitzgerald, then Jay Feely kicked a 27-yard field goal with 1:29 remaining and Arizona rallied to beat Tampa Bay.
Patrick Peterson had two interceptions, one setting up Arizona's first TD in six quarters, the other to ruin any chance of rookie Mike Glennon pulling off a comeback in his first NFL start for the winless Bucs (0-4).
Feely also kicked a 42-yard field goal for the Cardinals (2-2), who trailed 10-0 at halftime.
Starting in place of the benched Josh Freeman, Glennon was steady — if not spectacular — for most of the game. But it all unraveled after Peterson stepped in front of a pass for Vincent Jackson.
Fitzgerald beat cornerback Darrelle Revis on the next play for his 80th career TD reception.
Browns 17, Bengals 6
CLEVELAND — Brian Hoyer, the local kid who always dreamed of being Cleveland's quarterback, threw two touchdown passes in his first start at home to lead the Browns to a win over Cincinnati.
Hoyer's 1-yard TD pass to Chris Ogbonnaya with 4:54 left gave the Browns (2-2) an 11-point lead and Cleveland turned it over to its vastly improved defense.
In his second start in place of injured Brandon Weeden, Hoyer finished 25 of 38 for 269 yards. He threw a 2-yard TD pass in the first half to Jordan Cameron, who had 10 catches for 91 yards.
The Bengals (2-2) couldn't get anything going on offense and Andy Dalton was intercepted by Buster Skrine with 3:43 left, ending any chance of a comeback.
Cleveland limited the Bengals to 63 rushing yards and cornerback Joe Haden contained wide receiver A.J. Green.
Chiefs 31, Giants 7
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alex Smith threw three touchdown passes, Dexter McCluster returned a punt 89 yards for another score and unbeaten Kansas City kept New York winless at 0-4.
Smith hit touchdown passes of 4, 2 and 35 yards for the Chiefs (4-0), who under Andy Reid have already doubled their victory total of 2012. They are the second team to go from a two-win season to 4-0 the next year.
The Giants, who trailed only 17-7 after three quarters, are 0-4 for the first time since 1987.
Eli Manning connected with Victor Cruz on a 69-yard scoring play for New York's only score. The Kansas City defense sacked Manning three times. Smith was intercepted twice, the first giveaways by the Chiefs, who also lost a fumble.
Colts 37, Jaguars 3
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes, Trent Richardson ran for a score and Indianapolis became the latest team to beat Jacksonville by double digits.
The Colts (3-1) weren't all that good, especially early in the first half, but they were plenty good against one of the worst teams in the league.
Indianapolis led 20-3 at halftime — Jacksonville (0-4) has been outscored 75-8 in the first half this season — and made it a laugher with consecutive touchdown drives in the third quarter.
Luck found Coby Fleener for a 31-yard score, a play in which even Fleener was surprised that he was so wide open, and then connected with Reggie Wayne in the back of the end zone from 5 yards.
That made it 34-3 and sent many of the Jaguars faithful heading to the exits.

How disappointing! I followed the recipe and the cake was flat! What a waste of money as it went in the garbage. Missing ingredients are the eggs - amount from the cake mix directions and use either oil (or) applesauce - not both.
This cake recipe failed for me. I followed it just as written and it came out of the oven flat.
There must be something missing from this recipe, the cake came out flat.

The best way to make your website successful is to have an SEO strategy written out. Your potential customers need to be able to find you by doing internet searches. For this reason, you must set your sights on having your website show up fairly high in search engine listings. The following tips can help you improve your site's ranking.
When you develop SEO pages, it pays to have lots of shorter pieces on related topics instead of a single long one. Long pages aren't searched as thoroughly by search engines as short ones are. Additionally, most internet users prefer to read shorter articles rather than longer ones.
Take a peak at your competitors' website code. That way, you will be able to determine the way they use SEO for their site and the keywords they find valuable. You will not want to compete on the exact same terms, but it can give you ideas on your next campaign.
The best way to increase traffic is to place new relevant content on your website. Visitors won't keep coming back if they can't find what they came to your site to get. Having good content is a crucial step in driving traffic to your site.
Site maps go a long way towards increasing your traffic. Every separate webpage on your site appears as a link on such a map. Not only can your visitors use a site map for navigation, the search engines will be able to index your site better if you have one.
Site Map
Site maps allow search engines to index all pages from your site. A site map, or nav bar, will allow visitors to navigate easily to any page on your site, from anywhere on your site. Even a small site can have a huge impact with a site map, in how a search engine will rank it.
Blogging on your site will help improve your search engine ranking. This in turn will increase the number of visitors to your site.
It is important to use captions within your site to improve optimization. This will improve visibility on your site, which will lead to more sales.
When you make your site better for the search engines, you make your site better for potential customers. Many businesses seem unaware of this symbiotic relationship.
Take the time to ensure that the beginning of each page text can double as a META description. A few search engines look at that content rather than the specific tag when they decide what to list as your site description in their listings. Badly written content here is not going to fare well for you.
A great tip about optimization is to include current events and topics that have relevance to your product. This helps you bring visitors to your site who search for these topics when they are hot. In addition, it will help you create quality content for the others on your site.
Search Engine Bots
Search engine bots seek out new material, so when you use a blog to add new material to your website on a regular basis, you are giving the search engine bots an excuse to drop in. Also, well-written articles that you post will be shared across the internet. Word of mouth can really be the best form of advertising.
If you are not writing in English, include a meta tag that shows the language you are using. That's because search engines will rank you higher when people do a search for your content in that language.
It doesn't have to be arduous to use SEO for your website. All search engine optimization requires is attention to detail, as well as adjusting your approach. This article will give you a lot of tips that you can try out to make your website climb in the rankings.

OT - Mark Bittman on tiny kitchens
This article was in today's NY Times. Thought you might enjoy it.
True, but I am really enjoying the time savings I have with my new kitchen. I feel I can cook and clean up in half the time, and stay calmer while doing so. And the pleasure of having burners that function as they should is wonderful-- no more setting the cast iron fry pan in oven, heating the oven to 450 degrees, and lobbing in meat to sear it.
Thanks so much for posting the link. I have a very small kitchen (smallest one I've ever seen that's in an actual house). Mobile homes have bigger ones!
I am remodeling soon, but the square footage must remain small (about 72 square feet). So will concentrate on more efficient cabinets, smaller appliances, better lighting and (if budgets allow), a skylight to lessen the cave-like feeling.
I'm glad to see that there is someone out there that doesn't feel sorry for me because I suffer from Kitchen Deprivation.
Wow! His kitchen is even smaller than mine! (6x7 vs. 7x10) In fact, it makes mine seem absolutely palatial.
Actually, having just been through the exercise of trying to fit all my appliances plus sink on a nearly 10' wall, I can't figure out how he fit everything into only 7'. Fridge and stove alone should be 60" - that's 5'. So only 2' left for sink + dishwasher??? Even saying the fridge is a little smaller (it looks like he has a full-size stove), that's still not enough space.
I want more information!
This was a great article. My kitchen 2 houses ago was so small that I could pivot to reach my stove and sink on different walls. My refrigerator had to be in a closet down the hallway because it wouldn't fit in the room. I could definitely cook in that kitchen and did so. My present kitchen isn't fancy, however it's much more pleasurable to cook for a group with a little more space. I do understand his point, though...if we want to cook, we can do it anywhere.
Charlikin, that's only one side, though.
He seems to have the stove and DW on one side (and the DW might be 18") and so the sink is probably a 24" to the right of that (he said "about 7'). So I'll bet there is a 28" fridge and some cabinets & counter on the other. And that's more than I had before my reno!
I read a wonderful article long ago in Gourmet magazine on someone who visited Richard Olney at his modest home in the French countryside. She was shocked to discover how simply he lived - he cooked lunch on a two burner portable unit with beat-up pans. She said it was one of the most delicious meals she'd ever had!
The only reason I disliked my previous small kitchen was that it was a dark hole and there was nothing I could do about it, since it was an old apartment with equally ancient wiring. Other than that it was a miracle of efficiency - I hung everything on the walls I could, and still miss having that big farmhouse sink with the built-in drainboard.........
Beccamj, where would he put another side? The kitchen is only 6' wide! Unless it's an L-shape...but one potential "arm" of the L has a window on it (a big, gorgeous window!), and the other arm - well, someone's taking the photo from that angle, so unless they're taking the photo from within the inside of the refrigerator...
Sorry to be obsessing about this, but I seem to have gotten hung up about the layout of tiny kitchens... ;-)
I loved this article as well! It reminds me of how I have cooked most of my adult life -- in very cramped quarters, without counter space, fancy gadgets, etc. and how much I have oggled grand space kitchens with multiple zones and islands, cathedral ceilings, etc. At the same time, I've never thought that my remodel would make me a better cook per se. Just one who will enjoy better organization and food prep space. And, yes, hopefully, my new kitchen will at least look prettier and be more welcoming to others than the 50-year old unplanned, unfitted small galley I inherited when we bought this house and in which I've been bumping around for the last 20 years! :)
I loved this article, too. It reminded me of my grandmother who cooked on a wood stove until the mid-20th century and my aunt whose tiny frying pan could accommodate more crab cakes than I thought humanly possible. Both women were amazing cooks. And they cooked in tiny kitchens with little counter space and what most GW'ers would consider micro sinks. Dishwashers? My aunt and uncle said that the best part of a dinner party was when everyone went home and they did the washing up together.
Growing up we had a small and dysfunctional kitchen, but I don't think we knew it. My mom is 80 and still prepares (in a newer slightly more functional kitchen) the most amazing meals. She's actually gotten more creative and experimental over the years. I love buying her cookware for birthdays and holidays.
Mine is 7' wide - I have cabinets on both sides, but the cabinet-only side has reduced depth base cabinets (19"). I didn't feel I had room to put even a counter-depth fridge there unless I was willing to have a very narrow center aisle.
What did you do in your kitchen, Beccamj? How is everything laid out?
Oops, it's actually six and a half feet - still pretty narrow. The cabs on one side are 23" but that's actually because of a cut-out in the back left corner where I didn't want the cabs sticking out past it.
Basically, it's a semi-galley because there's a sink at one end rather than a window. So, starting on the left of the U, it's fridge (a CD Summit - it sticks out about a half inch), then a cabinet, then an 18" DW. The bottom of the U is the sink and it's a blind base. Then on the right side is a full-size oven (I used to have a 20" but I'm a big baker and a 30" was a must), then cabinets down through what was once a wall and ending in a buffet in the DR.
In the "before" kitchen, the narrowness was exacerbated by a wall being where those cabs on the left are. I removed a closet on the other side to put those in (there are uppers too, you just can't see them in that pic). Either way, it's definitely a romantic place for two to cook together. ;-)
Thanks for posting that, we've been cooking on a crummy electric burner and using a convection/micro for all our cooking in our cabin for years, now that we're living here full time my husband has taken up cooking and he's making some of the most delicious meals I've ever had.
It did get me to thinking that we could have forgone buying the expensive range and use portable electric burners that we put in a drawer when we were through cooking, which is what we do now and I love it!
After having 'normal' kitchens for years, I'm loving our cozy cabin kitchen. DH thinks it will change when our new kitchen is put in. I hope not.
I would'a done it. Certainly I would have happily given up closet space to recess my fridge a little, or to move it to the other side of the kitchen so I could have had a full-size dishwasher (and thus had a better selection of d/w's than what's available in 18").
Didn't have the option. Considered stealing space from my next door neighbor, but I don't really know her that well...
Can't wait to see your finished pics! (Heck, can't wait to see *my* finished pics!) Though, of course, that's a challenge too - hard to take photos in such a small place! LOL!
"Didn't have the option. Considered stealing space from my next door neighbor, but I don't really know her that well..."
LOL! The apartment next door has been empty for months - I should have thought of that!
Likewise - I love seeing what other galley folks are doing. And yes, getting the pix has me practically standing on my head sometimes!
I always thought I had a large kitchen (11x11) until I discovered this forum. In our neighbourhood of older character homes, the kitchens are all miniscule - no matter the size of the house.
A bit off topic, but has anyone been watching the show on PBS sunday afternoons with Mark Bittman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mario Batali and a lovely woman named Claudia something? They travel thru Spain eating, seeing the sights and interviewing the most amazing assortment of people.
>>why did I just build a big new kitchen?!Because you could? Heck, I would too!
When we were remodeling our cottage in 1989/90, I agonized over whether to add 4' to the kitchen instead of just 2'. I finally chose not to, and now I'm sorry I didn't do it! But although it's easy to forget, big kitchens were not 'in vogue' at the time, and I didn't want the main floorplan to be too disproportional, since it's pretty small overall.
But my 13x14' kitchen feels pretty big compared to our former 6x8' "black hole" apartment kitchen, LOL! But come to think of it, I do still miss that solid old O'Keefe & Merritt gas range that was there...a lot of good meals were made on those modest 9K burners.
Mark Bittman's cookbook "How to Cook Everything" is my kitchen bible. I taught myself how to cook in my tiny studio apartment kitchen with my old caloric stove and the food tasted just as good as it does now with a newly renovated kitchen. My Italian grandmother lived in a NYC apartment with a tiny kitchen and she made the best food ever! When my hubby and I visit his grandmother in Italy- the food is like nothing you have ever tasted and her kitchen is smaller than my linen closet- probably the tiniest I've ever seen-LOL I know quite a few people with brand new state of the art kitchens that can't even boil water. Thanks for the article- I really enjoyed it.
My husband and I took things to some friends' apartment once to cook for them in what I would call almost a half of a galley kitchen. I've seen RVs and boats with more kitchen space! It was about 4' X maybe 6': tiny stove, small single sink, frig that I could see the top of (I'm almost 5'3") and a wee bit of counter somewhere between.
We cooked dinner together and our friends hung around outside the door to visit.
I think that's the biggest reason that I want a big kitchen--it seems like the best place to visit, and I love cooking things with MANY cooks, not just two. My 3 sisters and I and a friend and our total of 5 children have an annual event of cooking together for an entire weekend in the friend's big fabulous kitchen. So far the youngest 2 kids haven't participated in the cooking because they were only 18 mo. at the last gathering. They're helping out at home now tho, so next time we get together they'll probably be in the thick of it.
A little kitchen can work great especially if it's well organized. A big kitchen can be terrible if it's not well organized. But the one thing only a big kitchen can do is allow a lot of people in. That's not any judgement on anyone else's kitchen. The only time I judge people is when they do things just to look good and not to fit their lifestyle and/or budget.
I must be missing something here, but why would anyone be surprised that you could cook well in a small kitchen vs. a huge one? I don't think the SPACE has anything to do with it!
Whenever I see those huge $100,000 remodels on TV, I always think, I bet no one there actually cooks. Then you have the husband or wife chopping celery, and they're so clumsy at it, you just know the kitchen is more SHOWROOM than workroom!
Once I read an article in Bon Appetit on Dorie Greenspan's NY Kitchen and how small it is and that when she has dinner parties she plates all of her food before it is served. If she can put out that great food to NY foodies in a teeny tiny kitchen then I have nothing to complain about.

("Pace" or the "Company") (TSX:PCE) is pleased to provide an operational update highlighting its continued oil growth, its 100% oil focused capital program and guidance for 2012.Pace continues to deliver increased oil production and consistent oil weighted production growth. During the fourth quarter of 2011 oil and liquids production increased to over 7,000 bbls/d and Pace achieved its exit production target of 15,000 boe/d. Consistent with its objective of maintaining a strong balance sheet, Pace's capital program for the 2011/12 winter program and the remainder of 2012 is designed to match its cash flow. The 2012 capital program of -approximately $100 million will be 100% directed towards its large oil prospect inventory and focused on continually increasing oil production and cash flow per share.Pace's capital for 2012 will be allocated as follows:Southern Alberta (Glauconite, Lithic, Pekisko, Waterflood Development)35-40%Dixonville (Montney C, Waterflood Optimization)15-20%Red Earth (Slave Point)15-20%Haro South (Pekisko)~10%Land, Seismic, G&A, and Other15-25%The budget will be directed towards our large inventory of oil plays and will be financed from our cash flow strengthened by our oil hedging in place as detailed later in this release. Operational Update During 2011 the Company drilled a total of 40 (37.5 net) wells with 38 (36.8 net) wells targeted towards oil. Production for the month of December 2011 averaged approximately 14,750 boe/d and total oil and liquids production was approximately 7,200 bbls/d, an increase of more than 34% from Q4 2010. In December 2011 oil and liquids production increased to 49% of total production, up from 41% in Q4 2010. During 2012 Pace plans on drilling 33 (27 net) wells. Drilling and completion costs are expected to make up 75% of the budget with facilities costs expected in the 5%-10% range and land, seismic, G&A and other contribution of 15%-25%. Southern Alberta In Southern Alberta Pace has over 300,000 net acres of high working interest lands and is successfully pursuing a development exploitation program of horizontal drilling to grow its oil weighted production in this area. Using 3D seismic and vertical well control Pace has been able to drill predictable and repeatable economic horizontal wells. In 2011 Pace drilled a total of 17 (15.8 net) wells in this area and increased oil production by more than 20% from December 2010 with December 2011 total production from this area increasing to over 4,900 boe/d (46% liquids).In 2012, 35%-40% of Pace's capital program will be allocated to Southern Alberta where the company plans to drill 24 (18 net) horizontal wells. In addition to the drilling opportunities, the Company will spend approximately $5 million to initiate a waterflood in the Retlaw BBB and NNN pools. The Company expects positive waterflood response within 9-12 months from the initial injection. Dixonville The waterflood at Dixonville continues to show strong results with increasing reservoir pressures and increasing oil rates. In December 2011, Dixonville oil production averaged approximately 3,200 bbls/d of oil and more than 3,600 boe/d with associated gas, an increase of more than 30% from December 2010. In 2012, Pace will put the remaining 1/3 of the 150 million barrel oil pool under waterflood with the conversion of 16 producing wells to water injection and upsize bottom hole pumps as reservoir pressure responds. Continued oil production optimization is planned with Pace forecasting increased production from this pool.Pace continues to pursue ASP (alkaline surfactant polymer) and related Enhanced Oil Recovery technologies for Dixonville and other operated oil pools. Expected success in these areas represent significant additional oil production and reserve upside for Pace. Red Earth At Red Earth the Company will be increasing capital allocation to pursue the Slave Point light oil resource play on Pace lands. Pace currently holds 25,500 net acres of Slave Point rights and continues to expand its holdings in this area. In Q4 2011, Pace successfully drilled a 100% horizontal Slave Point oil well. In addition to this completion and a recompletion on an existing well, Pace is planning to drill, complete and tie in 2 (2 net) horizontal Slave Point oil wells prior to spring break up. Based on early results of our program Pace anticipates additional Slave Point drilling in the last half of 2012. North West Alberta In Northwest Alberta Pace has a low decline gas production base and oil resource opportunities. Pace increased production to over 4,000 boe/d (27% oil) from this area in December 2011 with oil and liquids production increasing approximately 50% from December 2010 from operational enhancements related to our existing production base. At Haro, Pace has a large-scale, 22° API oil resource play targeting the Pekisko formation. Pace's external reserve evaluators, McDaniel and Associates Consultants Ltd., evaluated Pace's acreage and assigned Discovered Petroleum Initially-In-Place of 1.16 billion barrels on 95 sections. Although in the early stages, Pace is encouraged by the oil production from the limited number of producing wells in this trend. The Haro area is restricted to seasonal access during the winter months from January until spring break-up around the end of March.In Q1 2012 Pace is planning to drill 4 (4 net) and complete 3 Pekisko oil wells that will continue Pace's lands at least for another five years. This program is expected to be 10% of our 2012 budget. The Company remains confident that it will be able to identify key processes to develop this large scale resource. Guidance Pace's capital will focus exclusively on its oil opportunities in 2012 and capital spending of approximately $100 million will be funded by cash flow. Pace has a high-quality, low-risk asset base and numerous oil resource opportunities to provide sustained growth. Pace expects its oil production to grow by more than 25% over 2011 increasing to over 8,000 bbls/d by the end of 2012. This increased oil production and our focus on reducing operating costs will improve netbacks and cash flow per share.Production for 2012 is expected to average 14,500 - 15,250 boe/d with 50% - 52% coming from liquids which will generate more than 80% of the Company's cash flow. We maintain our optionality on our large gas resource prospect inventory but the success and strong economics of our oil plays allow us to focus on our oil prospects.Details of the Company's guidance are as follows: Oil (bbls/d)7,150 - 7,550NGLs (bbls/d)225 - 275Natural Gas (mmcf/d)42.8 - 44.6Production (boe/d)14,500 - 15,250% Liquids50% - 52%Oil (WTI - US $ per bbl)$95.00Gas (AECO - CDN $ per mcf)$3.00Operating expenses ($/boe)~$13.50Royalties (%)~22%Transportation expenses ($/boe)$1.50 - 2.00Capital Program ($mm)~$100Pace is building second half 2012 incremental optional capital programs within the Red Earth and Southern Alberta areas. Hedging Pace currently has the following commodity oil hedges in place as part of its strategy to manage its cash flow:TypePeriodQuantityPrice/bbl (Cdn$)Crude oil collarCalendar 2012500 bbls/d$95.00 to $117.75Crude oil fixedCalendar 2012500 bbls/d$93.03Crude oil fixedCalendar 2012500 bbls/d$97.63Crude oil fixedCalendar 2012250 bbls/d$98.50Crude oil fixedCalendar 2012250 bbls/d$102.62Total CurrentCalendar 20122,000 bbls/d$96.55 to $102.25 Credit Facility In December 2011 Pace completed its semi-annual credit review with its syndicate of banks and maintained its credit facility at $275 million. At December 31, 2011 Pace had drawn approximately $151 million on this facility. The syndicate of banks is led by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and National Bank of Canada as syndication agent and includes Bank of Montreal, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Alberta Treasury Branches and HSBC Bank Canada. Normal Course Issuer Bid Pace purchased 413,100 shares at an average price of $4.98 per share in 2011 under its current Normal Course Issuer Bid. At December 31, 2011 the Company had 47,202,700 shares outstanding.Pace is a top-tier oil weighted intermediate producer. Pace has a solid oil production base in Dixonville, a significant oil resource play inventory in Southern Alberta combined with its light oil property in Red Earth, plus a prolific natural gas resource base in the sweet spot of the Deep Basin. The Company is excited about the oil opportunities it has identified and looks forward to delivering solid results in the months and years ahead. Pace trades on the TSX under the symbol PCE and over the counter in the US under the symbol PACEF.ADVISORYNatural gas is converted to barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") at a ratio of six thousand cubic feet to one barrel of oil.

By Bob Hartzler, Department of Agronomy
Slow planting progress this spring has led to all efforts being focused on getting the crop in the ground. Often the first operation thrown to the wayside is application of preemergence herbicides in soybean. A decade ago this practice could be successful, but with widespread multiple herbicide resistance it either sets up an imminent control failure or contributes to further evolution of herbicide resistance.
Applying preemergence herbicides ahead of planting provides the advantage of increasing the likelihood of the herbicide being activated by rainfall prior to weed emergence and reducing the risk of injury from certain preemergence herbicides, particularly the group 14 herbicides in soybean. However, application of residual herbicides after planting still provides major benefits in terms of protecting yield potential, controlling resistant biotypes and reducing selection pressure from postemergence herbicides. Group 3 herbicides (Prowl®, etc.) and group 14 herbicides (Authority®, Sharpen®, Valor®, etc.) must be applied before soybean emergence. Group 15 herbicides (Dual II Magnum®, Outlook®, Warrant®, Zidua®, etc.) can be applied after soybean have emerged, but these herbicides do not have activity on emerged weeds. If weeds are present at the time of application, include an appropriate postemergence product to control the emerged weeds.
The limited time to complete spring field operations rarely allows things to fall in place exactly as one might have planned. However, the days when weeds could be treated as an afterthought are over. If planned preplant applications are bypassed due to delays in planting, adjust weed management strategies to include post-planting residual herbicides.

Dump truck falls through lake ice
For the second time this year, a dump truck has fallen through through ice on a Hennepin County lake.
The latest incident was Monday afternoon when a 10,000-pound dump truck loaded with 7,000 pounds of sand sank into Fish Lake in Maple Grove.
It was working on a shoreline improvement project when it apparently hit a spot on the ice that had been weakened by a natural spring.

History This triangle appears in Treatise on the Arithmetic Triangle, by Blaise Pascal. It was written in 1653 and published posthumously in 1665. Pascal was one of the founders of probability theory. He is credited with inventing the syringe, wheelbarrow, hydrolic press, and a calculating machine (our first calculator). Pascal gave up doing mathematics to pursue religion rather rigorously, and he wrote many philosophical papers on the subject. However, he returned to mathematics at the end of his life when he got a terrible toothache, which he perceived as a sign from god that he should do mathematics again. In actuality, the triangle was not invented (discovered) by Pascal. It was known in India around 200 BCE, and appears in many medieval Islamic mathematics texts. Similar arrangements of numbers were found in the works of Persian mathematicians Al-Karaji and Omar Khayyam. The triangle appeared in Europe in 1225 in Jordanus de Nomore's On Arithmetic. In 1556 the triangle appeared in Niccolo of Brescia's General Treatise. Niccolo is more commonly know as Tartaglia the stammerer, due to an injury he sustained as a boy. In Italy, the triangle is known as Tartaglia's triangle. Pascal's name was attached to the triangle in 1708 by Pierre Remond de Montmort. Combinations n We need to recall what C (n, r ) means. This is equal to the number of r combinations of n objects taken r at a time. In other words it is the number of ways of choosing r objects out of a possible n objects if we don't care about what order they are chosen. We studied this concept in section 6.4. Here we developed the formula: n n! C (n, r ) r r !(n r )! n These things are often called Binomial Coefficients, for reasons that will be apparent r shortly. Binomial Theorem Consider the following: (a b) a 2 2ab b 2 2 (a b)3 a3 3a 2b 3ab 2 b3 (a b)4 a 4 4a3b 6a 2b 2 4ab3 b3 (a b)5 a5 5a 4b 10a 3b 2 10a 2b3 4ab 4 b5 Do you see the pattern? The entries in the triangle appear as the coefficients in the expansion. More generally we have: n n n n 1 n1 n 0 n n n nr r (a b)n a nb0 a n1b1 a n2b2 a b a b a b . 0 1 2 n 1 n r 0 r Thinking of the coefficients as combinations, is there any way we can justify this phenomenon? Let's think about it. Perhaps it would be best to multiply (a b)3 very slowly, without combining terms. This is called multiplying it formally: (a b)3 aaa aab aba baa abb bab bba bbb Notice that there are a total of 8 terms appearing on the right hand side of this equation. Now what we want to do is combine like terms. A term is like another if it has the same number of a's and b's in it. Order doesn't matter. So for example, all of the terms with two a's and one b are: aab, aba, baa. There are three of these in this case. This is because out of all possible three 3 letter "words" using only the letters a and b, there are 3 with exactly 1 b. We will see a 1 a b aaaa 4 aaab aaba abaa baaa similar result if we do: aabb abba bbaa abab baba baab abbb babb bbab bbba bbbb Notice that there are a total of 16 terms appearing on the right hand side of this equation. Now when we go to combine like terms we are thinking of a term as a "word" with 4 letter words 4 using only the letters a and b. So, for example there are 6 words with 2 a's and 2 b's, 2 which is exactly what the coefficient of the a 2b2 term. In general when we are expanding (a b) n we formally get a whole bunch of n letter "words" using only the letters a and b. Finding the number of terms which combine to give a nk bk is equivalent to finding the number of n letter "words" with a and b as letters which have n exactly k b's. This is exactly what gives you since you can think of looking at n slots and k choosing the k slots that the b's will go in. All of this stuff is often called the Binomial Theorem basically because it gives us a way to expand the binomial (a b) n . This is also why these combinations are often called binomial coefficients. What is cool is that, if you have Pascal's triangle handy, you can fairly quickly multiply out a binomial. Binomial Theorem Problems: 1. Use Pascal's triangle to expand the following: (a). (2 x 3) 6 (b). ( x 2 y )5 2. Expand Plug in x 1 (1 10 x) = 1 (1 10 x) 2 = (1 10 x)3 = (1 10 x) 4 = (1 10 x)5 = Now plug in x 1 into both sides of the equations above. What do you see? What happened with the last one? 3. Use Pascal's triangle to find the coefficient of the given term in the given expansion: (a). (2 x)14 ; x 9 100 1 x91 (b). x ; 2 2 x 3 12 (c). ; x7 4. First expand using Pascal's Triangle: ( x y)n = Now plug in x 1 and y 1 into both sides. What do you see? Identities Now that we have this triangle we can look at it and find out some interesting facts about these binomial coefficients. Here is a list of a few of them: n n 10 10 2356 2356 for example or k nk 7 3 356 2000 n 1 n 1 n 7 7 8 123 123 124 for example or k k 1 k 3 2 3 47 46 47 n n n n n 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 2 for example 2 n 6 0 1 2 n 1 n 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 n n 1 n 2 n k n k 1 5 6 7 8 9 10 for example 0 1 2 k k 0 1 2 3 4 5 k k 1 k 2 n n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 for example k k k k k 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 Try checking a few of these on the triangle. See if you can come up with some way of justifying why they are true. The first of these simply says that we should see some symmetry in the triangle. And indeed we do. All of the numbers are symmetric around the center of the triangle. Why? The second of these simply expresses what we did to make the triangle in the first place. We add up the two consecutive numbers in the row above. We can see that the third of these is true by simply adding up each row of the triangle: 1 =1=20 1 + 1 =2=21 1 + 2 + 1 =4=22 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 =8=23 1 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 =16=24 If you look at the last problem in the last section you will see a proof of this fact. Can you give another? Binomial Distribution Triangular Numbers and Other Figurate Numbers Heading down the triangle along a south-east diagonal we see the following sequences of numbers appearing: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 … 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 … 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55 … 1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 84, 120, 156, 211 … 1, 5, 15, 35, 70, 126, 210, 330, 486, 697 … Etc. The first of these is just a sequence of all 1's. Not terribly interesting. The second of these is obviously the sequence of counting numbers, sometimes called the Natural Numbers. The third of these are known as the Triangular Numbers. This is because they can be arranged in the following way: 1 3 6 10 15 The fourth of these are known at the Tetrahedral Numbers. The picture for these is very similar. Except now we have moved into three dimensions. Think of stacking cannon balls into triangular pyramids. The number of balls you use is a tetrahedral number: 4 20 20 Can you think of some way of visualizing the next set of numbers or the one after that? Catalan Numbers Consider the following problem: How many ways are there for an even number of people all seated around a circular table to shake hands if no arms are allowed to cross? Everyone has to shake the hand of somebody and no one can shake their own hand. If we think of these people as points around a circle, and we think of shaking hands as drawing a line between two points, then we are looking for all of the ways of drawing such lines so that no two of them cross: For 2 People there is only 1 way. For 4 People there are 2 ways. For 6 People there are 5 ways What about for 8 People? Can you find all of the possible configurations? The number of ways of arranging that 2n people around a table shake hands without their arms crossing is called the nth Catalan Number, Cn. The first few Catalan numbers are: 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, 429, 1430, 4862, 16796, ... Note that C1 =1, C2 =2, C3 =5, just like we found in our pictures. The Catalan numbers actually appear in the triangle but they are kind of hidden. Can you find them? Look down the center column of the triangle. This column reads: 1, 2, 6, 20, 70, 252, 924, 3432 Can you see them yet? Try dividing these numbers progressively by the natural numbers: 1 2 6 20 70 252 924 3432 , , , , , , , , 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 You end up getting: 1, 1, 2, 5, 14, 42, 132, 429, … !!!!!! So if we want to get a formula for the nth Catalan number we can just use our formula for the elements in the triangle as binomial coefficients. The elements of the center column all look 2n like , and what we did in each case was just divide them each by n+1. Thus we get the n 1 2n formula: Cn n 1 n Serpinski's Triangle Idea: Look at the remainders in the triangle when you divide each of the entries by various fixed numbers. Color the different remainders different colors and see what happens. Fibonacci Numbers Idea: Move along a diagonal path adding values in the triangle and you will see the Fibonacci Sequence. There are various other things that can be done with the Fibonacci Numbers as well. Reappearance of Numbers Idea: Some numbers seem to reappear in the triangle: Eg. 120 appears twice in the 10th row, the 16th row, and the 120th row. 210 appears twice in the 10th, 20th, and 210th row. 3003 appears twice in the 14th, 15th, 78th, and 3003rd row. It is known that there are infinitely many numbers that occur at least 6 times in Pascal's triangle, namely the solutions to given by where Fi is the ith Fibonacci number (Singmaster 1975). The first few such values of r for k = 1, 2, ... are 1, 3003, 61218182743304701891431482520, .... Points on a Circle Image Points Segments Triangles Quadrilaterals Pentagons Hexagons Heptagons 1 2 1 3 3 1 4 6 4 1 5 10 10 5 1 6 15 20 15 6 1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1 As you may have noticed, the numbers in the chart above are actually the numbers in Pascal's Triangle, except the first 1 in each row is missing. The circular figures are formed by simply placing a number of points on a circle equally spread apart, and then drawing all the possible lines between them. This chart shows that for a figure with n points, all you need to do is look at the nth row of the Pascal's triangle in order to find the number of points, line segments, and polygons in the figure. Note that the polygons we are considering are only those which have all of their vertices on the circle.
