Backsplash- Could this be it?
My cabinets and countertop were installed in December and I have been plodding my way through finishing details. One detail is the backsplash; others are stools, window treatments and replacing the sconces. My kitchen is an L. The sink wall has a backsplash behind the sink to the window sill in the countertop material, madre perla quartzite. From GW Photos
I want to add a tile backsplash to the stove wall. My thought is to do the whole wall up to the bottom of the hood.

This is the tile I am considering. It is by Szygy Tile. I like that it is a color blend. It is three of their glazes and and each one pools and varies within itself. I like that it adds textural interest without being something that draws the eye too much; it is interesting without being overwhelming. The posted image looks a bit blue, the tile in real life is more gold and grey- no blue whatsoever.
There is so little room left above the tile if you take the the bottom of the hood (no room for artwork at eye level), I would fill in the entire wall. You've chosen lovely tile.
Here is Rococogurl's lovely kitchen:

Wow! Lovely kitchen. I agree about doing the whole wall. Can you prop the tile up along the wall and take another picture? I 'think' it is going to look great but would love to see it in place. Then if you wanted to you could copy and paste the picture all along the wall to get an idea of how it would look. Perhaps use a different tile around the windows to give them a framed look.
I'm hard at visualizing this, but it might be a lot of tile, so I think I'll be the only dissenting voice here.
You have beautiful beams, a great window with view (?), a nice hood. To add a wall of tiles (especially such beautiful ones) may just be too much.
What will you do to the right of the hood? Open shelves? Pots/pans? I wonder what it would look like to have the tiles window sill height and just up to the hood under the hood. Or maybe nix the tiles and go with a stainless steel behind the hood. I'd go for something that blends more in with the wall.
(seems to me no tiles to the right of hood here)
Here is a link that might be useful: another thread
along the lines of palimpset's observation...I think it might "muddy" the view out the window. When you compare your 2 camera shots-with/without tile....without the tile really allows the great view to shine.With the tile kind of "messes" with that. It depends on how much you value the window scape. I would value it greatly and do a MUCH simpler tile and end it along the bottom dimension of window then get the stainless panel to go just under the hood and get a great paint color up the wall the rest of the way[some variation of the gray green island].What would be wrong with more of what you have at the sink and end it at bottom of window? It's a hi end space because it's straightforward with good surfaces and wood,I don't think you need tile of that sort.
IMO, I think it's to busy to do the whole wall. Our backsplash has a thin simple metal edge on the top if our marble backsplash to give it a finished look. We did the whole wall because it was neutral, not busy. Tiling the the area just between the stove and hood and edging /framing the sides with trim would give it a finished look. Like a picture in a frame. I like the colors of the tile, but not sure about the size. I haven't looked at the specs, but I'd also consider the tile size. Tiles that are to large may look out of place to frame.
I don't really like this, but just playing with your elements. If the tile just runs up behind the range, the right blank wall looks wrong. So I tried some open shelves to balance the window. Of course, artwork might do the same.
Here it is. Might provoke some ideas?
Edited to add this version of the above pic. I also changed the shelves to closer to what I imagined:
I meant the shelves to be the same darkness as the beams. They came out darker than I intended.
Editing to add this idea, based on a photo posted while I was doing this one. What if the bottom shelf is dropped to the level of the bottom of the window? Then the tile runs under the window and under the shelf.
Might unify the wall without overwhelming it.

I like that mock-up above a lot better; or maybe even drop the tile altogether (sorry, it IS beautiful) and go with the counter material as you did on the sink side.
With the whole wall tiled, your eye stops right there rather than take in the view out the window.
I went back and edited the photo above.
I think I like this one.
Or, as nosoccermom suggested, but a bit differently, bring the countertop material up under the window and the shelf for continuity around the room and run the tile up as in the first photo I posted. I might like that better, I think.
I definitely like the shelves extending the window lines to balance the wall.

Thank you Ob2b for doing those mockups, that was so generous of you.
But, oh dear, I do not like it at all now having seen them. It is much to busy for someone with my need for clean lines. I also think it much too curvy. I need straight lines. Back to the drawing board I go.
To answer some questions, I have considered stainless just behind the range- it seems kind of cold to me. Maybe I need to pick up a cheap stainless backsplash at Lowes and set it there for a few days to mull it over though. I have also considered more Madre Pearla behind the range. I like that idea but it comes with issues. I need to source the stone and it is costly- but so is tile. I also wonder if something just behind the stove, particularly something as think as the MP slab, would feel a little lost. I sometimes think that about the sink wall; I look at where the sink splash meets the wall and think that I don't love it.
I do like the Szygy tiles, perhaps I should just do them in a subway pattern, maybe not the blend just one color. I also like Fireclay Tiles, lots of their glaze colors work in the kitchen, I think my favorites is Malt.
I will just keep tweaking.
You could tape up some tinfoil back there. That should be able to give you an idea.
What do you think about the counter material up to the bottom of the window and all the way across and then up to the bottom of the range hood? Then some chunky shelves across the opening to the right. Might look great... tie into the beautiful beams visually.
Lots of postings while I was posting.
Bellsmom thank you for the additional mockups. I think these tiles are out now do to the size, the curviness and the complexity.
I will find something simpler.
herbflavor I love your point about the tile around the window muddying the view. I agree and I don't like it. Even though I have ruled out this tile, I much prefer Bellsmom's mockups that have no tile around the window.
Nosoccermom, I have to talk to the stone place about sourcing more stone. If they don't have a remnant and I doubt they do it will likely be cost prohibitive for me to use the quartzite.
Toepytoe: I like the idea of just doing behind the stove with tile, which allows it to have bullnose(if that is the right word) and feel less "lost". Perhaps I would do that with Fireclay Malt which looks great with the counter. Need to get a bigger sample, right now all I have is a tiny 2x2 square.
I tried the tin foil a while ago and if I recall correctly I didn't like it. But then again I think I was reusing foil from a casserole dish(i hate waste) so maybe that was a bad plan.
RE the stone- I doubt I can get more at a reasonable price. They will most likely have to bring in a slab just for me.
Two more and I am outta here.
Localeater, it has been fun to play with your beautiful kitchen.
The shelves give a place to stop the backsplash without running it to the ceiling. But they may make it look ''busy,'' Maybe a piece of art there?
Anyway, here, FWIW
To my surprise, I prefer this one:
This one seems off balance and busy.

This is a bit of a departure from your original idea but I like the idea of some metal ceiling tiles behind the stove. Here is an idea of what I'm thinking. I saw them at Lowes or Home Depot in the kitchen section recently.
Here is a link that might be useful: Metal tiles
Just some more ideas for you:
White brick tile - color off but like the size:
You GWers are the best! So many great thoughts in this thread for me to ponder. Kudos to OB2B and Bellsmom for their fabulous PS skills. I really need to learn that!
Right now I am thinking that I might like a small tile just behind the range to the beam. Sort of like Bellsmoms 11:24 post, or maybe even just to the bottom of the hood(I know nobody liked that). I also really like the quartzite mockup but as I have said before sourcing and paying for will be an issue.
Oh thank you Bellsmom! I have to think on it. I think I like that new picture, I like the simplicity of something just behind the stove. Maybe a big enough remnant of the MP is hanging out at the stone yard. And I will try the color copier trick with these tiles, because I started out loving them, even if I now think they are too curvy. Thank you for all your help.
Ah, you sweetie! I do kind of like that look. Now I am going to take advantage of your generosity and make you do one more for comparison.
This is the tile I have on my counter right now. I am waiting for a sample where the light color in the mosaic is a bit lighter and a tad olive, even though my husband says this one is perfect. Because it is so dramatic I would only use it behind the stove and hood, up to the ceiling, the wall to the right of the stove will eventually have shelves or something on it. The sconces are changing bigger and darker, the window will have a small valance. I am just trying to describe the eventual plan for anyone who might look at the thread.
Thank you so much.

Localeater would you mind posting the layout/dimensions of your kitchen? It is very similar to one I am considering but DH keeps saying we won't have anywhere to store dishes. He is not a fan of open shelving (though I love it). Do you find you have enough room for your dishes? It looks like you might have a cabinet above the dishwasher (I would not have this).
KAM76 here is a layout of my kitchen with the perimeter dimensions, the island dimensions shown are not correct. The actual island is 91 1/2 by 35 1/2.
I have plenty of room for my dishes,and everything else. Many drawers and shelves are 1/2 full and several are completely empty. My starting point was layout with uppers and no island. My husband also insisted we would not have enough storage space. To convince him I demonstrated the amount of space I would be gaining in the island. I also explained to him the difference in space in an overlay cabinet v an inset cabinet which was what we had prior to the reno. We did consider frameless too, to really maximize but in the end I wanted to go with a local cabinet maker. His cabinets are modified frame however, so they really waste very little space with framing. I feel obligated to mention that I am not a collector or clutterer so you may have lots more stuff than me, and I also have a pantry closet.
localeater, your views are really stunning and your kitchen feels very earthy to me. i like the green tiles ob2b photoshopped best so far because it seems to coordinate with your wood beams best. Have you considered the tiles from heath also? i think they would look gorgeous in a simplistic way. and also go nicely with your woodwork too. here are a few patterns that i love and am thinking of using myself.
msrose: My countertop is madre perla with a brushed finish.
Ob2b: Thanks for all the photoshop efforts.
All: thanks for the thoughts and suggestions.
I have decided to stop thinking about the backsplash until I finish up some other details in the kitchen. Maybe I am just not ready. Maybe I am not able to identify what I want and what I like. I do know that tiles that I think look great when they are sitting in my kitchen, don't look anything like I expect them to when I see the photoshopped images.
Thank you all for your help so far and I will be back for more assistance soon.

WANTED: Quick Note on Pictures
craftrn, I'm sorry. I had said that DH would take pictures of your wonderful swap package I received & I'd post them this weekend.
Unfortunately, we had a dousy of a storm blow through here yesterday (still blowing but rain has stopped). The Sound did not stay where it belonged and our neighborhood's been flooded. Don't know how big the storm surge was 'cause those idiots at NOAA DIDN'T put out a Coastal Flood Warning...oh no...not them. They put out a high wind warning & a fresh water flood warning but not for the huge surge. It was amazing! The water even breached the bulkhead at Mystic Drawbridge and the entire downtown River Walk was flooded (under about 2' at high-tide). Our neighborhood has been blocked off by the Police. Water's drained out but we have a real mess!
In addition, about an hour ago, our immediate neighbor's large maple tree blew over onto his deck and house. My DH is over there now with his chain saw helping to cut it down enough to get most off the house. I'm doing mop up at home. No time for pictures this weekend!
I'll get the pictures...just not right away.
Good Heavens Tricia-- don't worry about pictures-- it's wayyyyyyyy down in things you need to be doing right now-- just stay safe & dry . Hope weather calms down for you-- we've had lots of wind and areas N of us have lots of downed electric lines etc but so far no damage here except for a few good sized tree limbs-- luckily landing on nothing but lawn .

This invention relates to a system including method and apparatus for immersion electroplating flat objects and particularly printed circuit boards (PCBs). Most PCBs are flat and represent an opportunity to optimize the electroplating configuration to the specific need of plating flat goods with holes of only limited extent.
There has always existed a general need to perform electroplating of a high-quality, uniform deposit in a minimal amount of time. Recent proposals for high-speed plating of PCBs have developed methods which avoid immersion techniques in favor of spray nozzle designs. The need for abandoning immersion systems has been thought to involve the low-current density limits imposed by such systems and the long cycle times which are required. In non-immersion systems, plating cycle times of as short as ten (10) minutes are known, but were believed impossible to achieve with immersion techniques. By abandoning immersion techniques, the advantages of immersion were also lost. There is, therefore, a need for a new and improved system for electroplating flat goods, particularly PCBs wherein high quality electroplating by immersion can be finished in about ten minutes or less.
In general, it is an object to the present invention to provide an improved immersion plating system having high-current density and a fast process cycle time which is particularly adapted for the plating of flat objects such as PCBs.
A further general object of the invention is to provide an electroplating system of the above character capable of operating up to 200 ASF in an immersion system, and of obtaining plating cycle times of less than ten (10) minutes.
The present invention is based upon the realization that it is not necessary to resort to vapor or spray plating module techniques, as known in the current art, in order to achieve short plating times in satisfactory operation. It has been found that it is possible to employ an immersion technique in which the plating bath is directed upwardly to flow as a rising sheet of liquid between the plates, which are themselves positioned in closely spaced parallel planes, and thereafter the immersion liquid spreads out, traveling as though it were centrally directed into the central region between the plates, from which it flows horizontally around the outer edges and upwardly over the top edge from which it exits back to a reservoir through a port and weir of an adjacent baffle.
The foregoing object is generally achieved by providing a narrow region of generally planar extent into which the anode (plating metal) and cathode (object) can be placed in close proximity to each other. The flow pattern is established as a sheet upwardly flowing between the plates. This is done by a distribution head disposed to fill as it were one edge at the bottom side of a volume defined by anode and the cathode. After the liquid has passed upwardly, an adjacent baffle which defines the plating region rises to a level above the electrodes to form a weir over which the liquid overflows. Also, the baffle is provided with a centrally disposed port or aperture of a size capable of taking a substantial amount of liquid from the plating region which has been passed around the edges of the anode. The port is approximately twice the size of the pump input to the distribution head. However, it has a volume displacement capability somewhat less than the pumped inlet displacement.
These and other objects and the features of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claims when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a plating system constructed in accordance with the present invention and including an immersion vat and power supply.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the immersion vat taken along the lines 22 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 33 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the relationship of the plating racks to the baffle and distribution head in the plating region of the immersion tank of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 1 there is shown the overall system of the present invention which generally consists of a plating vat 10 carrying the plating electrodes and racks 12, 14 at one side therein which carry the cathode and anode electrodes assemblies connected through suitable electrical cables 16, 18 to a DC current electrical supply 20. The electrical supply 20 may be of a conventional type capable of delivering 9 volts at 500 AMPS.
The plating vat may be of a generally square configuration as shown and consists of a bottom wall 22, side walls 24, 26, and front and back walls 28, 30, all of which may be made of a suitable inert material such a polypropylene plastic, and capped with side rails 24a, 26a, 28a, and 30a, all about to serve as support for the various components to be described. Together, the several walls comprise a tank or vat for containing the electroplating bath. The vat is divided by a baffle 34 (best seen in FIGS. 2 and 3) into a plating region 36 at the left and reservoir 38 at the right.
The cathode and anode assemblies are most clearly shown in FIGS. 2 through 4. Each assembly consists of a subframe 40, 42 including arms 44-47 joined together at a respective vertical brace 48, 49 which mounts brackets 50, 52 which are mounted to and extend horizontally away from each brace. Each bracket is adapted to overlie a bar which rests on the side rails of the vat. Positioning is pre-established by placing fixed spacers 56 on the rails so that the cathode and electrode frames can hang on bars in closely spaced parallel planes. The spacers are so arranged that the space between the anode and the cathode exactly and equally overlies to each side the plating region of the vat between the baffle 34 and wall 24. A distribution head 60 is centrally disposed in the bottom and formed with a plurality of orifices directed upwardly to deliver electrolyte into the mid-region between the anode and the cathode (FIG. 3). The front side or inner side of each of the frames is adapted to removably carry the appropriately electrically conductive element, as for example, a copper anode and PCB cathode. More generally, the cathode carries the plate 64 to be plated which is a flat piece, while the anode carries for example a conductive plate which supplies part of the circuit by which the plating action takes place. The anode and the cathode assemblies are electrically connected through posts 66, 68 to terminals to which cables 16, 18 and associated clamps (not shown) lead to the plating power supply 20.
The simple arrangement described is designed to be symmetrical and allows the electrolyte solution to be pumped upwardly as shown in FIG. 2 to flow evenly through the planar region defined by the opposing plates. As shown in FIG. 3 the distributor tube 60 extends virtually from one side to the other of this region so that the flow is laminar and sheet-like flowing upwardly, and uniformly between the plates. The liquid is taken out of the plating region by flowing it around the edges of the plates preferably over the top and around the sides, the overflow thus created being returned reservoir region 38 through a centrally disposed port in the baffle and by weir overflow over the top of the baffle.
The invention employs two separate pumping systems in the reservoir 38. The first includes a small electric motor driven pump 70 which has an inlet immersed in the bath and an outlet connected to a filter 72 for return to the reservoir. The electrical connection is shown as 74. This is a simple filter.
The second pump system is the main plating fluid supply pump 76 which has an inlet 78 immersed in the bath at propitious level as for example, a few inches below its upper surface, and an outlet 80 connected through suitable piping 82 through an access in the lower part of the baffle and to the distributor head 60.
It has been found that a reservoir 38 capacity of about ten times that of the plating region 36 is satisfactory to keep depletion and necessary recharging at a satisfactory minimum.
The distribution head is simply constructed of a section of plastic pipe having 1/16th inch diameter holes set on one inch centers to form a uniformly distributed row of orifices along the bottom of region 36. The distribution pipe is capped at each end. The pump volume is set for a flow rate of 25 gallons per minute.
The plating section 36 is defined and arranged by the baffle 34 to be much wider (in the direction 84) than deep (in the direction 86) and to accept quite wide anode and cathode structures which are to be positioned very close to each other and in spaced parallel planes to define the working gap between them. This working gap or region is in the form of a vertically and horizontally (84) extensive region having a depth (86) defining a sheet of liquid electrolyte bath passing upwardly between the plates. This sheet is in continuous formation at the bottom and continuous degradation as it flows around the edges and top of the anode.
The electrodes are positioned in proximity to each other at a spacing of less than about two inches and may be spaced as close as one inch. The region between the plates is free of any restrictions or baffles so that the complete flow of plating fluid may pass freely upwardly between them.
In general the present invention has been developed in one form for particular use in the copper plating of PCB's. In that use the invention may employ substantially standard copper fluoborate solution and a copper plate anode.
It has been known to analyze the equipotential surfaces of various geometries used in plating via potential theory. As such, the proposal of the present invention is quite simple and consists of terminated, non-infinite planes which are parallel to each other. However, as a practical matter, there has not been any proposal for the use of parallel plates operated at this spacing because of prejudices and historical reasons which exist in this industry. In the present invention, it is found it is possible to use a small gap of the order of one to two inches and still achieve extremely rapid and high quality plating. It has not been found necessary with the present invention to employ shielding electrodes or thiefs or other secondary modifying elements although the same might be useful for some considerations. In general, a detailed field analysis using potential theory has not been done on the present invention since the results which have been achieved speak for themselves and, as is known, field theory has considerable limitations in view of the failure of most practical systems to adhere closely to the theoretical conditions which are easy to analyze. In that connection reference is made to the Electroplating Engineering Handbook, 2nd Edition, A. Kenneth Graham, E.D., published by Rhineholt Publishing Corp., New York, Chpt. 16 at page 480 where some electropotential considerations are analyzed. At the same time as pointed out by those authors, namely H. L. Pinkerton, that, despite the niceties of the theoretical considerations of the general theory of the potential field, it cannot be applied directly in practical situations where polarization and other factors must be accounted for and cannot.
In the dimensions given, the system and plating cell of the invention works very well and can be expected to scale quite nicely. These dimensions may be summarized as follows.
The distribution tube is 19 inches long with 1/6th inch holes (orifices) set on 1 inch centers.
The spacing of the plates is from 1/4 inch to 3 inches. A 1 inch gap was used with a flow rate of 25 gallons per minute and current of 130 ASF in one application.
The plating current has been set from 100-130 ASF with quite satisfactory results in about nine (9) minutes, and may range from 75-400 ASF. Of course, it may be taken to lower values, if desired.
No cathode agitation has been found necessary.
While a copper plating has been given by way of example, other systems will work equally well such as nickel and tin plating solutions.

Savannah Craft Beer
There are many reasons to visit Savannah, but if you are into craft beer, Savannah is definitely a city worth checking out! With so many places featuring delicious craft beer, we have narrowed it down to a handful of places, and even marked some spots on a map of downtown Savannah for our guests.
Read all about each brewery, bar, or restaurant featured below, and book your rooms for a beer tour around the Hostess City! Take brewery tours, try local Georgia beers, and more when you come enjoy Savannah Craft Beer.
Try Savannah Craft Beer at the Crystal Beer Parlor
Located on West Jones Street, the Crystal Beer Parlor is a local and visitor favorite when it comes to food and beer. Crystal Beer Parlor has been around for over 80 years now, and was one of the first American eating establishments to provide alcohol after the repeal of Prohibition. Some say that it was speakeasy during Prohibition! Check out this historical Savannah business and grab a brew and a burger! Choose from their extensive list of beers, and be sure to check out the local beers they have on tap.
Taste our Local Savannah Craft Beer at Southbound Brewing Co.
Southbound Brewing Company is the first production microbrewery in Savannah, Georgia. Take a tour of the brewery Wednesdays-Fridays, from 5:30pm-7:30pm, or on Saturdays from 2pm-4pm. Tours are first come, first serve and are free with a complimentary tasting. Find your perfect brew from their five beers: Scattered Sun Belgian Witbier, Secret's Shared Wild IPA, Fade to Red Ale, Moonlight Drive Stout, and Hoplin' IPA. Southbound Brewery offers a little taste of Savannah in a big way!
The Beer Growler
Do you like your beer in quantity? Well, the Beer Growler, located on Liberty Street, offers craft beers of all varieties for you to taste, enjoy, and take home in your very own growler! Some local Savannah Craft Beer can be found on their menu, so you can take home a growler of your favorite Savannah brew.
The Distillery
The next stop on your Savannah Craft Beer tour is the Savannah Distillery Ale House, or as we call it: The Distillery. The Distillery Ale House is a true craft beer bar, as well as a restaurant, offering 21 craft beers on tap, and over 99 varieties of bottled beers! Pick your brew of choice, and select something off of their expansive menu. Beer lovers, you will not be disappointed.
Ampersand is a new bar/restaurant in town, offering delicious food and intriguing cocktail concoctions. As enticing as those options are, Ampersand also has an extensive beer list. So, after a day of shopping on Broughton Street, turn the corner onto Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, and plant yourself at Ampersand for some good brews and food.
O'Connell's Irish Pub
Looking for an authentic Irish Pub on your Savannah Craft Brew journey? Well, look no further! O'Connell's Irish Pub is the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a nice cold brew in. Take in the Irish memorabilia while sipping on a Guinness, or…dare say…if you are tired of beer, try their Pickleback: a shot of whiskey chased with a shot of pickle brine!
Service Brewing Co.
Another local Savannah brewery, Service Brewing Co. is a veteran owned and operated craft brewery. Stop in and check out the process of brewing with a tour and a tasting at Service Brewing Co. Their tour times are Thursday-Friday, 5:30pm to 7:30pm, and Saturdays, 2-4pm. Be sure to try their year round beers: The Ground Pounder Pale Ale and the Compass Rose IPA. Don't miss out on their seasonal brew: the Rally Point Bohemian-style Pilsner. A portion of their revenue goes toward various charities that support service.
Green Truck Pub
Now, the Green Truck Pub is not located downtown, but it definitely makes our Savannah Craft Beer Tour list. The Green Truck Pub is not only home to some of the best burgers in town, but they also provide an extensive beer menu.

Veterans Day 2014: A Celebration at Azalea Inn and Villas
September 25, 2014 by Teresa Jacobson
Veterans Day 2014 at the Azalea Inn & Villas
This year marks the 60th Anniversary of Veterans Day, which is an important day for our country, especially here in Savannah at the Azalea Inn & Villas. We recognize and are beyond grateful for the service of our current and former soldiers and believe in doing what we can to express our thanks.
Azalea Inn & Villas is an active member of B&B for Vets which is a nation-wide effort by bed and breakfast inn owners to honor our Vets. The initiative asks that on the eve of Veterans Day innkeepers donate one night free of charge to those that have served our country. My husband and I have been very blessed in life and so our commitment for the past five years has been to fill our 10-room inn with retired Veterans and Active Duty service members alike. We have a community of like-mind restaurateurs who have generously donated platters of delectable food for our evening reception. This year will be no different.
Why Veterans Day is So Important to Us
Military Service runs deep in the backbone of my family. My mother's dad served with the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in WWI and the terrible battle at Keiberg Ridge where he lost his two best buddies. My grandfather Scott enlisted with the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force at the age of 15. He was seriously injured at the battle of Vimy Ridge in Northern France following four days of bloody fighting. My own father was a career man having enlisted in the Navy at 16. Prior to the end of WWII he then enlisted in the Army-Air Corp and completed 20 more years of service as an OSI agent in the US Air Force. My father's sister was a WAVE serving in Washington during the early years of the war. Two of my mother's brothers also served during the war. The next generation of these two families found 5 of my Canadian cousins (all girls) serving their country . One of my sisters gave service in the Air Force while I joined the Army. Finally, I have a nephew who is currently enlisted in the US Army.
So you see, supporting the military runs deep in my soul. Our commitment to today's military led us to take one giant step forward in our daily lives. On Veteran's Day 2011, we hosted three soldiers of the then Wounded Warrior Transition Battalion of Fort Stewart's 3rd Infantry Division. The bravery, courage and fortitude of these three men was the catalyst for creating "Respite and Retreat". We provide two combat injured soldiers and a significant other a day and night at our inn, while the 3rd ID gives these soldiers a 4-day leave. The program starts with resiliency training by the company chaplain and the remainder of the leave is designed to give the soldier and family the necessary time to implement what they have learned. We have once again paired with two Savannah restaurants, The Pirates House and Leoci's Trattoria, who provide a three-course dinner to the participants. Veterans Day is a public ceremony of thanks, we have chosen to say thank you every single month.
Veterans Day 2014 in Savannah
In addition to our own celebration of Veterans Day 2014, Savannah will host a Veteran's Day parade. The soldiers who stay at our inn have a short walk to enjoy the parade. It conveniently passes within sighting distance of the Inn! History Buffs know that a walk around beautiful Savannah will lead you to a number of war memorials. The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum features historical displays and memorabilia of the United States Armed Forces. Discounts are available for military veterans and individuals currently enlisted. Entrance is Free to veterans of World War II.
Veterans Day 2014 Savannah Style
For Veterans Day 2014, we welcome soldiers and veterans to our bed & breakfast for a night of relaxation, rejuvenation, and as an overall appreciation for their service. Thank you to all of our service men and women, and to our veterans. You are dear to our hearts.
Azalea Inn and Villas, a Savannah GA bed and breakfast inn, invites you to reserve a room today to begin enjoying the best experiences in our city, which Travel + Leisure Magazine acclaimed as a "World's Best City."
You can also keep up with Azalea Inn & Villas on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter, too!
A Moveable Feast: The Savannah Food & Wine Festival
September 21, 2014 by Teresa Jacobson
A Moveable Feast, Savannah Style
While reflecting on his time in Paris, Ernest Hemingway called the city of love "a moveable feast," or a series of memories that will always remain with him. In his memoir, titled "A Moveable Feast," Hemingway discusses his time abroad, including many descriptions of cafés, bars, and dining experiences that he fondly remembers.
Hemingway understood that food and drink are more than simply sustenance…They are combined to yield a masterful creation to enjoy, and that is exactly what the Savannah Food & Wine Festival seeks to achieve through a week long "moveable feast" in the Hostess City.

Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting Bullets 270 Caliber (277 Diameter) 130 Grain Spitzer Box of 50
Product #: 635046 Nosler #: 27130 UPC #: 054041271301
Product Information
Nosler Ballistic Tip Hunting bullets have been trusted by hunters for nearly 25 years. They are precision made and individually inspected for the utmost quality which translates to incredible accuracy with every shot. The heavy jacket base prevents bullet deformation during firing and holds together at extreme velocities as well as a polycarbonate tip that resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. The bullet's mid-section keeps it together at any velocity until impact, and a uniform, pure lead core eliminates possible imbalance and erratic flight caused by air pockets. Great for thin-skinned game like deer, antelope and sheep. This is not loaded ammunition.

"Wow, this game is getting physical."
Monday night offered Joel Hanrahan his latest connection to the Boston sports scene, watching the Bruins' Stanley Cup finals game on television with his 3-month-old from their Dallas-area home. In recent days, the pair also had taken in some Red Sox games ("I think he might have said 'Papi' for the first time," the Sox pitcher said), although that practice had been hit or miss because of a spotty Wi-Fi connection.
Before the family hockey viewing party, however, Hanrahan's Monday had included another round of rehab on his recently surgically repaired right elbow (along with a few text messages from fellow Sox reliever Andrew Bailey.) Playing baseball no longer is part of the equation ... for now.
Other than spending time with Ryan, few of these lifestyle alterations have come easy.
Considering just a year before he was in the midst to pitching his way into his second All-Star Game -- and a few months ago he was living life as the Red Sox closer -- the uneasy existence is understandable. But when a doctor has taken the ligament out of your hamstring to put it in your pitching elbow, while fixing two other pieces of your arm in the process, it's understood lifestyle changes are going to be in the works.
"It's tough watching the games on TV. It's fun to watch the games, but it's also tough at the same time," Hanrahan said by phone. "You miss being around the guys and being around the big league ballparks. I try and watch them. It's tough not being there, but I'm trying to get this rehab kick-started and go from there."
For the first time in his professional life, putting on a baseball uniform isn't part of the daily routine.
The 31-year-old is in the early stages of rehabbing from three procedures executed on his right arm by Dr. James Andrews. What was going to be an eight-month recovery from flexor tendon surgery was extended somewhat when Dr. Andrews made the decision to also replace Hanrahan's elbow ligament, while removing a bone spur, as well.
"We didn't really have a set plan going into it," he said. "The talk beforehand was to fix the flexor tendon and if the UCL looked like it needed to be repaired we would fix it. The flexor was already an eight-month rehab, so if you added the Tommy John it wouldn't be that much longer. I gave them the go-ahead to do it if it needed to be done. When he went in there he said, 'Wow, we need to go ahead and fix this.' There was a bone spur on the backside as well that we took out. He took some ligament from my hamstring and put it in my elbow. So he did the double-whammy on me.
"I wasn't surprised. I had the feeling when he said the flexor tendon protected the UCL, I was ready that they would do both. I was ready for when I woke up that they would have done the Tommy John surgery as well. It was something I was prepared for. In the long run, the best thing for my career was to go ahead and get it done. It wasn't shocking at all."
Any reflection during his recent rehab has led to few regrets from the reliever.
Sure, there was that May 6 outing (his last of the season), in which he threw nine more pitches after initially feeling discomfort on a high and inside fastball to Minnesota's Brian Dozier.
"Looking back on it the thing that ultimately set it off was that pitch almost hit the guy from the Twins in the head. I think that's what really started it," he said. "I probably should have come out of the game. I stayed in and faced two or three more hitters. It probably wasn't the best decision. Looking back, it was probably done at that point."
But other than that heat-of-the-moment decision, Hanrahan doesn't know what he could have done different.
Sure, in hindsight, there probably were subtle signs, such as his inability to command his breaking pitches throughout spring training and the early part of the season. And the possibility that the elbow was put over the edge when he might have overcompensated somewhat upon injuring his hamstring during his second outing of the season. Still, there are still few regrets.
"When I got to spring training I felt great," he said. "I was throwing the ball hard. I wasn't having the best results but I felt my arm was fine, my velocity was good. I think the thing it kind of affected me the most was my breaking ball because you can rear back and pitch through anything throwing fastballs. But I think that had something to do with my command being off, and something was going on that I didn't feel it. Guys play every day when they're banged up. After that first day of spring training you never really feel 100 percent anyway. I just thought it was normal baseball stuff and nothing that gave me serious pain and couldn't pitch. But I was probably doing more damage to myself than I knew. But as a competitor that's part of the process of the game. I felt I could pitch no matter what."
Even before the pitch to Dozier, for a variety of now-uncovered reasons, Hanrahan never did hit his stride as the Red Sox closer. And what offered particular frustration was an inability to pitch well in front of his new fan base, having allowed at least one run in three of his four Fenway Park appearances, while not retiring either batter he faced in the other outing.
"It's definitely a tough thing to go through," he said. "Obviously getting traded in a deal that involved five people. … It's something where you always want to go out there when you're traded and show the fans you're good and the general manager was making the right move. Unfortunately for me, my best week was that first week on the road."
There is no doubt the frustration lingers with Hanrahan. He had made mention on a few occasions before his injury of a desire to show the Boston fans the reliever that the Red Sox prioritized acquiring in the offseason. But, with the pitcher becoming eligible for free agency following this season, the chance to leave that positive impression on Sox fans remains in doubt.
Hanrahan isn't ruling out a return. But with the kind of work, and uncertainty, that awaits, predicting his next landing spot is simply an impossibility at this point. He sees hope in cases like his buddy, 36-year-old Joe Beimel, who underwent Tommy John surgery almost exactly a year before Hanrahan and ended up signing a deal with the Braves. There are also the weekly text messages with Jason Motte, the Cardinals closer, who had ligament-replacement surgery in May, comparing and contrasting their respective recoveries.
Hanrahan knows he has a future. That's not a question. What it involves, and where it will evolve, is the only question.
"My wife and I will talk about it a little bit, but at this point it's way too early to talk about it," Hanrahan said regarding his plans following this season. "My main goal is to try and get the rehab going and get healthy. It's way too early in the ballgame to start thinking about that. Obviously I have a lot of things left to prove in Boston, so hopefully that could be a possibility. It's a wait and see.
"It will get to that point we'll figure out where we're at without the rehab, and if some team wants to talk about signing me up at the beginning of the year, or maybe they'll wait until I'm healthy. People are doing different things coming back from Tommy John. We'll see what the situations are. I haven't talked to my agent at all. I'm just going to have to see what's going to happen."
Greg and Chris talk more offseason happenings with the Pats and their plans. They talk about some of the free agents toward the bottom of the list with Stevan Ridley and Dan Connolly. Price thinks that Connolly could end up back with the Pats and Ridley elsewhere (Cowboys?), but Greg thinks they both could be back. They also chat about the departure of VInce Wilfork and what he meant to the organization, the re-signing of McCourty and more.
The very first airing of the offseason edition of NFL Sunday gets underway with Greg and Chris delving into the free agency period and how the Pats made out. Of course they lost Revis to the Jets, but what else went on? Greg isn't over the loss of Revis yet and the guys discuss what went into that whole ordeal. Price is looking forward to the additions of Chandler and Cadet. They also get a call from Mike Petraglia and get his thoughts on the Pats offseason moves.
