Cork-look-alike tile
Do you know of any ceramic or porcelain tile that looks like cork?
I posted this question on the Flooring forum but (IME) it moves mush slower than this one. Sorry about cross-posting but I have an installer scheduled for Monday 2 weeks from now and I need to get the tile ASAP or re-schedule.
I am going to use cork in the kitchen but I wanted to use ceramic or porcelain tile in the laundry room (for obvious reasons). It is is clearly visible from the kitchen and I wanted them to look similar because I already have too many different floors in the house.
Could you give me some pointers where I might find such tiles?
Well, looking at cork for weeks leaves me with 2 questions for you.
1. What does your cork look like? There are many variations in patterns and textures.
2. Why not just use glue down cork tiles instead? I assume the "obvious reason" is water, unless I'm missing something (wouldn't be the first time I missed an obvious fact).
Post a pic of your cork and I bet if its out there, someone here will know!
in my search and shopping for new living room/hall flooring[carpet likely] I ran across materials articles discussions...cork for main areas are reccomended as good insulating/soundproofing/attractive/sustainable etc, BUT they are saying to seal it,citing heavy wear/moving furniture/shoe heels/table legs etc potentially damaging. Is cork therefore really durable enuf for kitchen use? I guess it depends.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry's family financial portfolio could grow by hundreds of thousands of dollars as a result of the $23 billion megadeal between Nebraska billionaire Warren Buffett and a Brazil-owned investment firm to buy out ketchup and food producer H.J. Heinz Co.
Kerry, as part of his confirmation last month, agreed to divest holdings in dozens of companies after leaving his Massachusetts Senate seat. But Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, held at least $3 million in Heinz stock through family trusts as of 2010, according to his most recent financial disclosure form. She was allowed to keep those assets under a January agreement approved by government ethics officials.
Under the terms of the Heinz deal announced Thursday, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, an investment firm based in Rio de Janeiro and New York, will pay $72.50 a share for Heinz, which closed at $60.48 on Wednesday. The buyers will pay $23 billion in cash and assume more than $4 billion in debt.
Kerry did not file an updated financial disclosure before his confirmation, so it is not clear whether his wife's trusts sold off any of its Heinz stock since 2010. But based on the Kerrys' known Heinz stock holdings of about $3 million and the stock's $49.46 per share value at the end of 2010, the couple could have reaped as much as $1 million from the terms of the offer, according to an Associated Press analysis.
Kerry told State Department officials earlier this year that his wife is a beneficiary of three family trusts, each of which held more than $1 million in Heinz stock in 2010. In his recent divestment agreement, Kerry said he was not a beneficiary of his wife's trusts but agreed to recuse himself from decisions involving the Heinz company when appropriate.

Tips on Buying Tiffany Lamps
Easily recognizable with their colored glass shades and heavy iron stands, Tiffany lamps were first created in 1895 as part of the Art Nouveau movement. They bring the beauty of a stained glass window into your home, whether you choose small table lamps or hanging pendant fixtures. For the look of an authentic Tiffany lamp without the high price tag, shop for Tiffany-style light fixtures. Here are a few suggestions for finding the perfect one for your home.
How to Inside Mount Interior Shutters
When you're choosing window treatments for the inside of your home, interior window shutters are a sophisticated alternative to blinds and shades. Like other styles of blinds and shades, interior window shutters are excellent for privacy, light control and reducing your heating and cooling costs. This article will provide instructions for how to install interior shutter window treatments in your home using an inside-mount technique.An inside mount installs the shutters to the inside of the window frame. If your windows are not square, installing inside of the window casing will be difficult, and you may want to choose to do an outside mount instead.
How to Outside Mount Interior Shutters
When you're choosing window treatments for the inside of your home, interior window shutters are a sophisticated choice. Like other styles of blinds and shades, interior window shutters are excellent for privacy, light control and reducing your heating and cooling costs. This article will provide instructions for how to install interior shutter window treatments in your home using an outside-mount technique.An outside mount means that you install the shutters alongside the casings of the window, outside of the window frame, using hanging strips. This allows you to easily hang your shutters straight and square, even if your window isn't quite square. If your windows are not square, installing your shutters using an outside mount is the better alternative to attempting an inside mount.
Choosing a Wall Sconce for Your Bedroom
One of the most versatile options for adding a lighting fixture to your bedroom is a wall sconce. When mounted to any wall in the room, these lights create a soft ambiance and can be used to highlight architectural features in the home. Complement your home decor by choosing a wall sconce for your bedroom that follows the same style.
Home Lighting - Lamp Design
Add style and warm light to your decor with the perfect lamp for your bedroom, hallway or living room. There's no need to sit in the dark when you can brighten up corners with unique lamps and stylish lighting and ceiling fans or snuggle in with good book by the light of your bedside lamps. This guide will provide you with tips on finding the perfect lamp designs for your home.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame.

Tips on Buying Wall Lamps
Save space and light your rooms in a unique way when you buy wall lamps for your home.

4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.

Would anyone have some idea of what bamboo this is?
Chusqueas are usually solid at the base, but some are hollow higher up in the culms.
Do you remember anything else about the leaves or culms? Did the culms have any type of groove on them? Were there any colour striping on the culms or leaves? What size were the leaves?
So you are saying that the biggest culms are 10cm, or about 4" wide, correct?
- Yes, that's correct. There are of course also thinner culms and maybe, indeed, the ones on the picture are thinner. However, the thickest ones do grow to around 10cm wide in diameter.
How large was this grove?
- The grove was quite small. Most of it is visible on the picture.
I managed to get hold of another picture of the same species, but in a different spot (still in the same area in Thailand) and a close-up of the culm. Hope that helps.
If that is most of the clump in the picture, and the culms are 10cm in diameter, then I would say it is a clumper.
I just don't see any culms in either picture that appear to be 10cm in diameter though.
Some of the culms may be young culms, and that would explain the sheaths and branchless culms.
I see some branching but it is difficult to see much detail.
Also, a culm 3 meters tall and 4 inches in diameter sounds out of proportion for most bamboo except some tight clumpers, and the culms in the pictures don't seem to taper that much...hmmmm.
Nastus elatus has some similarities to your picture and so do a few of the Pleioblastus. Sinobambusa intermedia is another, but I do not grow these, I'm only comparing pictures.
About 1/3 of the way down the page, and on the right, there is the title: "Links to Photo Sets of Bamboos in Thailand".
You may find the bamboo you have under one of these photo websites.

Watch Lana Del Rey Perform "Carmen" Live For The First Time
Last night at London's Camden Jazz Cafe, Lana Del Rey played a small show for a crowd of contest-winners, and she used the opportunity to debut the Born To Die song "Carmen," singing over a tinkly piano and nothing else. Also of note: Her skimpy Guns N' Roses shirt, which is a pretty slick way to acknowledge the stories linking her to Axl Rose. Watch a fan-made video of the song below.

Ariz. Voters Pick Giffords' Aide To Replace Her
By Ted Robbins
Originally published on Wed June 13, 2012 6:00 am
Voters in Southern Arizona decided Tuesday who will replace former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords for the remainder of her term: her former district director, Ron Barber. Giffords resigned from Congress in January to focus on recovery from injuries she suffered in a shooting in early 2011. Barber was also injured. His Republican opponent, Tucson businessman Jesse Kelly, narrowly lost to Giffords two years ago.

The richness of the Telugu language and literature was on display at the 'Telugu Vaibhava Pradarsana' organised at Sri Venkateswara Vignana Mandiram here on Thursday in the run-up to the World Telugu Conference scheduled to be held in Tirupati later this month.
Visitors had a glimpse of extracts of ancient scripts, photos of eminent personalities whose contributions to the language enhanced its quality and pride, and literary works of famous authors.
The photos of famous poets and writers have particularly drawn sizable crowds comprising mostly schoolchildren.
Inscriptions and extracts of Telugu scripts dating back to the reigns of various dynasties were presented in a lucid manner.
Inaugurating the exhibition, Guntur (East) MLA Sk. Mastan Vali said the event gave a glimpse of the great literary personalities who enriched the language and culture by making valuable contributions. It was good to see photos of famous poets and writers many of whom might not be known to the present generations.
MLC K.S. Lakshman Rao said the splendour of Telugu language was highlighted in a beautiful way. With this spirit, people should strive for protecting the language and unity.
Additional Joint Collector K. Sarada Devi, Zilla Parishad CEO R. Jayaprakash Narayan and others were present.

"Food Lover's Guide to the World ranges from Thailand to Finland, from street food to haute cuisine. Its descriptions and photos are so mouth-wateringly attractive that you probably shouldn't send a copy to your uncle, the Trappist monk. He'll straightaway jump the wall and hike into town for a triple cheeseburger and fries."
Every Day with Rachael Ray, April 2013
"The photos are as tantalizing as the descriptions."
Chicago Tribune, February 4, 2013
"Yet it's a must-have for anyone who pesters locals for restaurant ideas, pokes around food markets or buys dumpling ladles as souvenirs. A terrific resource before you travel, it also has enough recipes — from Spain's simple egg-potato tortilla to India's complex Hyderabadi biryani and Denmark's sweet flodeboller — to keep cooks happy."
Midwest Book Review, February 2013
"The blend of in-depth history and culture and observations of worldwide food specialties and trends makes this a 'must' for culinary and travel holdings alike!"
Passport Magazine, February 2013
"You'll lick your chops as you flip the pages of Food Lover's Guide to the World . . ."
Los Angeles Times, December 16, 2012
"In the lavishly illustrated pages of this coffee-table tome, you'll find food and drink from a host of countries, recipes (pork vindaloo from India, bibimap from South Korea) and explanations of local foods unique to those places.
Minneapolis Star Tribune, December 5, 2012
"This movable feast packs a dizzying array of personal stories by celebrity writers and chefs (i.e. Mark Bittman, Eric Ripert), travel notes, restaurant reviews, festival calendars, sumptuous and spontaneous photos. The armchair traveler in me visited Paris through its cheeses, Mumbai through its street food, Bangkok through its curry. Suits me; I travel to eat."
Wicked Good Travel Tips, December 4, 2012

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Living will lets you die the way you want to
A skeptical patient recently asked "Why should I have a living will?" I replied, "Because no one in this world will care as much about how you die as you will."
So don't say "no" to a living will because of unfounded myths, such as the following.
-- "If I sign a living will, it allows doctors to pull the plug and end my life!" In fact, the very opposite is true. North American doctors today spend much of their time worrying about lawyers when treating all medical dilemmas. But when faced with the decision of whether or not to terminate a life, they avoid it like the plague. They worry any move to end a life may result in legal action by the family, nurses or other physicians who believe life must be prolonged to the last breath. So without a living will, they run for the woods and leave your fate to nature. I have no problem with that decision if it's your considered wish.
-- "Signing a living will is a waste of time because it's not a binding legal document." There is an element of truth in this. But that does not mean it's a worthless document. Rather, consider a living will an advance directive that informs family members what you want done if you're unable to speak for yourself.
There are few guarantees in life, but it's the best insurance policy I know of that gives you a fighting chance of dying the way you want to die.
-- Don't believe the death notices that often say, "John Smith passed away peacefully." Only if you have the luck of the Irish does this happen. It's been my experience during a long career in medicine that in the real world there is no such thing as death with dignity. If you are felled by a massive heart attack, death comes quickly but there's no dignity in gasping for air.
In the majority of cases, death is a slow process that is never described in the obituary column. I've never believed that having to use a bedpan, a catheter to empty the bladder or wearing a hospital gown with no backside was anything but undignified. Sorry, but few are peaceful Hollywood deaths.
-- "Living wills can't cover all the things that might happen while dying so why bother to have one?" But you don't need a 200-page document to get the relevant message across. As Albert Einstein remarked, "It should be simple, but not too simple." It's easy to get a straightforward message across in a very few words if you use the right words.
-- "My family knows what I want done if I become seriously ill, so I don't need a living will." You may be right, but your family doesn't own doctors or the hospital and they don't write the law. So if you're comatose, how do doctors or hospital administrators know what you want done? After all, as far as caregivers are concerned, they may think family members are more interested in your bank account than in your life on this planet.
Without this vital document you may pay the price for such folly. It means intravenous feeding and other tubes will continue unless you're lucky enough to have a guardian angel on your side. And don't put your faith in hospital ethics committees. They can and do make good decisions, but I would not sleep well unless I'd chosen my own committee that included a veterinarian.
-- "You make some good points. I'll talk about this one of these days with my lawyer." Usually "one of these days" really means none of these days. It's a major error people make and often suffer needlessly due to procrastination. And also remember there's no point in a living will unless someone knows where it is.

The Keith McMillen QuNeo 3D Multi-touch Pad Controller
A little while ago a company called Keith McMillen Instruments proposed an idea for something called a QuNeo 3D Multi-touch Pad Controller on Kickstarter.com. If you don't know it, Kickstarter is a place where proposals for creative endeavors can confirm public interest in the form of donations and even pre-orders. Once a project's proposed goal is met and the end of the proposed funding deadline met, the project is green lit and all of the donations are actually accepted. If a project fails to meet its goal, the project does not go forward, no money is collected and the creative making the pitch is not left trying to finish their project under funded. So far Kickstarter has brought a lot of wonderful things to life, and gear related projects have been among them.
When Keith McMillen Instruments proposed the QuNeo, they figured they could get their project underway for around 15,000 dollars. The project in question was a surface that, while reminiscent of the Novation Launchpad, appeared to have it's own sort of LED witchcraft afoot. The QuNeo was to be 44 pads, sliders, rotaries & switches that were pressure, velocity & position sensitive. The Multi-colored lights looked similar to LaunchPad, but had their own vibe. Peter Kirn posted the QuNeo Kickstarter over at createdigitalmusic.com and it was all over. When the drive was over the project had exceed their goal post and received over $100,000 dollars in pre-orders.
After getting a look at it for myself with Matt over at the QuNeo booth; I can safely say no one is going to be disappointed. The pads' unique sensitivity was on display in an Ableton set and the potential for what this thing can do is not hard to see. This is kind of like that kid in the class who blows the curve for everyone else. While it is possible that the guys over at Novation could just corner Keith McMillen in the bathroom at NAMM and beat him up, my hope is that this will lead to the next iteration of the LaunchPad being a magical beast. Even if it isn't, there's definitely room to drop a QuNeo in next to my LaunchPad. My only disappointment about the QuNeo after actually seeing it in the flesh is that I don't already have one pre-ordered.
Keith McMillen QuNeo 3D at NAMM 2012 UniqueSquared
Here's the run down on the features of the QuNeo:
Tactile Pads, Sliders, Rotary Sensors and Switches
Each of the 27 pads, sliders and rotary sensors are pressure, velocity, and location sensitive. Even the 17 switches respond to how hard you press.
LED Light Feedback
A remarkable lumination scheme combines variably diffusive elastomers with 251 multi-color LEDs providing visual feedback that is immediately responsive and delightfully informative. Man and machine are coupled through light, feel and sound.
Trigger Pads
16 square pads provide 127 levels of Velocity response. And X-Y location. And continuous pressure. For each pad. Times sixteen.
Rotary Sensors
2 rotary sensors allow you to scrub, trigger, stretch, pinch and play phrases and sound files, manipulate continuous controllers and more . Each rotary sensor measures angle, pressure and distance from the center.
Multi-touch Sliders
9 touch sensitive sliders can be mapped to fader and effects controls. LEDs within each slider act as VU meters or remind you where you were. Multi-touch lets you select a length between two fingers to set stereo locations or filter resonances. Tapping a slider can mute or toggle any track or function.
The switches are located in smart groupings to select samples, fader banks, and transport controls. Each of the switches can scan up and down through files at speeds variable with your touch. Great for quickly locating that perfect fill or telling your looper you really meant it.
The Size of an iPad
QuNeo is the size of an iPad and can fit in iPad accessories such as mic clips, stands and more.

NATO: 7 troops die in day's clashes in Afghanistan
Kabul, Afghanistan — The U.S.-led coalition is reporting that two more NATO service members have been killed in Afghanistan. The deaths raise Thursday's toll to seven international troops killed in the country.
The coalition said on Friday that one service member died in a roadside bomb explosion in eastern Afghanistan and another was killed in an insurgent attack in the south. There were no further details and the nationalities of the two were not disclosed.
Earlier, U.S. military officials said five American troops died in a roadside bombing Thursday in the south.
So far this year, 376 American and other NATO service members have died in the war in Afghanistan.

This story featured in Smithsonian almost brought actual tears to my eyes. While a chocolate flavor crisis is not at the top of most peoples' minds, my love of that particular food-stuff is unquenchable. Sooo – I thought I'd share this article, as well as links to some of the organizations that are working to keep chocolate chocolatey.
We've done a LOT of tinkering with food – chemicals, cloning, grain-free, organic, gluten-free, etc., etc. Undeniably, food shortages remain a CONSTANT source of concern world-wide. "Waste not, want not" are words to live by – but, if foods become "Taste not", will that lead to 'want not', too? That's the concern of food manufacturers…
What cookery wizardry can you add to the recipe? If you can bring out some new technology that's safe for the Earth and helps save the flavor of foods, you're sure to be popular!
How to Save the Chocolate Tree
Without Sacrificing Flavor
Check out these programs dedicated to being "flavor savers"
Heirloom Cacao Preservation Initiative—a partnership between the FCIA and the USDA's Agricultural Research Service.
Wilbert Phillips-Mora is head of the Cacao Genetic Improvement Program at the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE) in Costa Rica.
Have you ever pondered how much waste is generated when we do our grocery shopping? From the large plastic bags at the checkout counter (which you've likely replaced with a reusable alternative) to the plastic produce bags, plastic containers for bulk items, and plastic packaging for all of the processed and portion snacks we love.
Not only are we perpetuating the plastic waste, but we typically only have a choice to buy food in bulk. For example, say you want to make a recipe for savory chicken with thyme. Your choice is to buy a plastic container of thyme or a VERY large bunch of it – enough to make the chicken recipe for a banquet party (which goes bad before you can come up with enough recipes to use it up!).
Not only does 23% of food waste end up in our landfills, but a high percentage end up in our oceans threatening marine life. Consumer's packaging may be used only once, but it truly lives for ever, polluting our environment.
We need more choices when grocery shopping so we can make a difference in our destiny.
The zero waste grocery store trend is only just starting in the U.S.; so far there is only one completely waste free store in the U.S., In.Gredients in Austin, Texas.
East Berlin introduced the no package store when Original Unverpackt opened.
It may take a cultural change for some to get over their germaphobia, but in the long run, it will greatly impact our future for the better. Together, we can turn this tide against food waste.
Would you shop at a supermarket without packaging?
Bionics used to be the stuff of fantasy and featured grandly on several U.S. television series. In the world of everyday life, there are a good number of individuals who, for reasons of birth defect, disease or as the result of a (usually) shocking accident do not enjoy 'freedom' of motion and sensory perception. Until now, prosthetic replacements for amputated limbs have been limited to those with superlative insurance to cover the cost of these devices. We hope that is about to change…
A company in Argentina – Bioparx Health Technology – has developed a state-of-the-art bionic arm for less than half of what the others cost. Read about their technology here: Smart Prosthetics
And pay a visit to the bioparx company site to see if there's a place for you to contribute (or be inspired to envision the next generation of their products…). The site is in Spanish, so if you're bilingual, this may be a great fit for you! BIOPARX.COM
You may also want to pay a visit to Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden where they, too, are working on bionic technologies.
There are negative effects which occur in the body – and they have been well documented by the medical community – about standing too much or, conversely, sitting too much. Muscles and bones alike show deterioration from either extreme.
This 'quirky-looking' invention may provide some relief… Zurich-based startup Noonee has developed the Chairless Chair®, a wearable armature that provides workers with a place to perch—no matter where they are. The Chairless Chair® consists of a thin aluminum armature attached to the user's shoes and waist.
Take a look at the article from Smithsonian and watch the video about "The Chairolution®" here:
The Chairless Chair®
What advances will you envision (& bring to market!) that will have a positive impact for workers in factories, offices, academic settings or anywhere that people have to spend their days to earn their wages?

Sheikh Mohammed's first order of business as owner of Jonabell Farm in Lexington will be to "give the land a rest," according to his chief bloodstock adviser John Ferguson. The sheikh's purchase of the 790-acre farm is scheduled to close Oct. 1.After mares owned by the current owner, the Bell family, and their clients are relocated prior to the closing, Ferguson said, there are no plans to move any of Sheikh Mohammed's bloodstock onto Jonabell anytime soon."It's widely agreed that it is a special piece of land," Ferguson said. "The farm has a wonderful history and the Bell family have done a great job there, where horses like Damascus, Never Say Die, and Epitome were bred. But any farm that's been run commercially has to bow to business pressures and that often means the land doesn't get a chance to rest. We're going to just run cattle through it for a couple of years. It will mean we'll have a fresh piece of land for the future."John A. Bell III and Jessica Bell, who founded the farm in 1954, are not leaving the farm's main residence when the ownership transfer is complete. One of the couple's four children, Jimmy Bell, will stay on as manager of Jonabell's four stallions, Cherokee Run, Gold Legend, Holy Bull, and Old Trieste. Estate planning was the reason for the Jonabell Farm sale.Some of the farm's mares are being transferred to a nearby operation being leased by Eric Foster, who managed the Jonabell Farm horses. Epitome, who won an Eclipse Award racing for John A. Bell III in 1987, was moved to Elmwood Farm in Woodford County on Sept. 21. John Williams and Bennie Bell, who bred Epitome with her sister, Jessica Bell Nicholson, operate Elmwood.Ferguson said Sheikh Mohammed plans to continue having a stallion operation at Jonabell, but that it did not mean he would not stand horses at other farms, including his brothers' Gainsborough Farm and Shadwell Stud, as he has done in the past.

Motorsport students enjoy top-level Donington experience
More Myerscough College Motorsport degree students have had the chance to experience the industry at the top level after they were invited behind the scenes at British GT Championship at Donington Park.
Tom Patterson, Richard Anderton, Adam Turner, Josh Ullathorne, Jon Voss and Richard Fothergill, a group of motorsport degree students visited the final of the race meeting at the weekend. The British GT Championship is the premier sports car racing series in the UK, featuring modified versions of road GT cars such as Aston Martin, Ferrari and Porsche.
The students were there to gain first-hand experience of what goes into such an event, as part of assignments to evaluate and assess how motorsport teams work at this top level. Students were able to meet and talk to Bernard Cotteril, Clerk of the Course for British GT and as such is the senior person responsible for running the race including the safety of all competitors and spectators. Students gained an insight into the practical workings of the race. They also witnessed the decision process to deploy a safety car during an incident. They also visited the British GT organiser, Stephane Ratel Organisation hospitality suite and the media centre.
Students also visited some of the teams racing in the championship including United Autosports, MTech, FFCorse and Ginetta. Students were inspired to meet some ex students now working at this top level in British motorsport.
Phil Egginton, Lecturer in Motorsports at Myerscough College said: "The day allowed students to relate what they learn at Myerscough to a practical real life motorsport situation. This will greatly help their future employability".
