THURSDAY, Jan. 23, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Race and gender affect whether heart attack patients still take recommended medications a year later, a new study finds.
And black and Hispanic women are least likely to continue using the drugs meant to reduce their risk of another heart attack, researchers found.
The findings show that more must be done to help patients keep taking these important medications, the University of North Carolina researchers said.
"The policy implication from our study is that we should now put a lot of emphasis on helping patients, especially minority groups, understand the importance of these medications and help them improve their long-term adherence to get the greatest benefits," study leader Gang Fang, an assistant professor in the School of Pharmacy's Division of Pharmaceutical Outcomes and Policy, said in a university news release.
For the study, published recently in the journal Circulation, the researchers analyzed data from more than 85,000 Medicare beneficiaries hospitalized for a heart attack in 2008. The medications prescribed to reduce their risk of another heart attack were statins, beta blockers and ACE (angiotensin-converting-enzyme) inhibitors and ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers).
While there were few racial or gender differences in getting patients started on the drugs, a disparity emerged when it came to patients staying on them over the long term.
Compared to white men, black and Hispanic women were the least likely to be filling their prescriptions a year later. Black and Hispanic patients had the lowest adherence to beta blockers and statins, and black patients had the lowest adherence to ACE inhibitors and ARBs.
The researchers also found that women -- who have worse results than men after a heart attack -- were less likely to still take the preventive drugs a year later. This was true for women of all races, but especially so among black and Hispanic women. A possible explanation is the difference in men's and women's beliefs about the severity of their heart attacks and the benefits from the medications, the researchers suggested.
The findings also point to the need for different interventions for different groups, according to first author Julie Lauffenburger, a graduate student in the UNC School of Pharmacy.
"Some adherence interventions in the past have focused on a blanket approach to emphasizing adherence even though patient demographic subgroups may have different needs and perceptions about medication use," she said. "These results suggest that more targeted interventions need to be considered, especially for adherence after heart attacks."

Village Rebuild
Our puzzles are based on the National Curriculum and cover ages from 5 to 7 or KS1 all of which are embedded into the game play.
Parents can analyse their child's progress through the portal at www.smarterlearn.com once you register through the game. The analytics engine within the game will determine what puzzles they have played, whether they excelled at them or needed a little help and all benchmarked against other players of similar age.
Set within a jungle village, your child has to solve addition puzzles and mend broken bridges and huts, and can use catapults to shoot blocks into the right places. A wide range of abilities is supported, from single digits all the way up to the hundreds, and can be played in any order you like.
Your kids will learn and have fun, without knowing it is an educational game!

Sprinkle features:
Amazing water physics – Some of the most realistic water physics ever seen on an Android device make Sprinkle an exciting and addictive puzzler.
Brain-teasing puzzles – What starts as simply pointing and spraying to quench each fire becomes much more challenging through the 72 levels, as players must overcome the intricacies of each puzzle before time and water run out.
Blocks, boulders, and cogs oh my – Use the power of your water cannon to move blocks of ice and boulders, spin giant cogs, and depress traps inorder to reach and extinguish every last fire.
The inhabitants of Titan, a moon of Saturn, lived out their days peacefully in their straw hut homes – until space tourists from Earth crashed through Saturn's rings, bringing a storm of flaming asteroids crashing down on the Titans. To combat the widespread fires threatening their homes, the Titans have built a massive water cannon. And they need you to man it!

Scotland, the beginning of the Middle Ages. For long years, the Clans have hidden from the Sidhe, the mythical creatures of legend. But now, the dark ages are past and the bright modern Middle Age has set in. Three brave Clans have taken to resettle the deserted Highlands. But, alas, Clan Woodhead, Clan Tinears and Clan Stonehands can't decide on a common course of action and hinder each other's efforts. Also, the sheep are quite enjoying the freedom on the unsettled land and might move against them.
The Clans look for a Hero to unite them. Failing that they'd settle for a man with good organizational skills.

Dinosaurs Sequence
The game contains two modes: Practice and Challenge.
In the Practice game mode, there are three levels to choose from: Easy, Normal and Hard. They vary in terms of the number of dinosaurs (3, 4 or 5) whose order of appearance the player must remember. If you choose this game mode, you must remember the order in which dinosaurs, shown later on the plates below, appear on the screen. Touch the screen, the plates go blank and you must indicate dinosaurs you see in the same order as they appeared on the plates. Easy, isn't it?
Once you become skilled, try something more difficult and go to the Challenge game mode. In this mode, you must remember in which order dinosaurs appear on the screen and then indicate them in exactly the same order. Each sequence which you remember correctly earns you a point.
Scoreloop is available. So you can compete for the first place in the ranking of the world's best players.

Perfect Bench
This bench was exactly what I was looking for! My couch and chairs are a fabric chocolate brown so I was looking for a space filler that would actually give me some extra seating. This fit my needs precisely, it is a very dark brown so it does not get lost in the other furniture. I also wanted to set it apart with a leather look and of course the tuffeting and the turned legs took it up several notches from my expectations. I was a little leary of ordering it initially because one of the pictures made it look like it could have been a cheaper shinier version (almost plastic). I took a chance since previous purchases (including area rugs) had exceeded my expectations. I am so glad I did, it is perfect!!Read More

How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.
Bench Buying Guide
Often overlooked in favor of sofas, armchairs and ottomans, benches deserve more attention than they receive. These versatile pieces of living room furniture serve as style accents to any room and act as convenient seating surfaces. Whether indoor or outdoor, benches come in varieties to satisfy multiple decorating functions. This bench buying guide will give you some shopping points to consider when fitting benches into your existing and future home decorating.
Tips on Making Leather Furniture Last
Leather furniture is a wise investment that pays off in style, class and comfort. Leather furniture can range from leather sofas and loveseats to ottomans and recliners. Your new leather furniture will beautify your home quickly. Regrettably, if it's not maintained, leather furniture can age quickly. Your furniture can go from terrific to tacky in a matter of years if it doesn't receive the proper care. Fortunately, there are some easy tips on making leather furniture last that are simple and effective.
How to Clean an Ottoman
It's easy to give living room ottomans a cursory, superficial cleaning, like simply running a vacuum cleaner over the surface; however, because ottomans are the object of much use by feet and shoes, they need an occasional deep cleaning. Follow these steps to clean your ottoman.
Ottoman Buying Guide
Ottomans are fun, functional pieces of living room furniture, and they go well beyond their modest size in completing the look of your home. At its most basic, an ottoman consists of a padded cushion, usually atop a wooden frame for resting your feet. Of course, there are countless variations on the basic theme. This ottoman buying guide gives you everything you need to know about how to buy an ottoman that will reward you and your living room again and again.
How to Use Ottomans for Coffee Tables
Everywhere you look, you'll see decor spreads that replace the living room's old, faithful coffee table with one or two ottomans. This relatively straightforward substitution can toss a few curve balls at would-be decorators unless they do their homework. Take a look below to learn how to use ottomans for coffee tables.
How to Sew an Ottoman Slipcover
Old, worn-out furniture often sticks around longer than preferred, creating some problems when it comes to redecorating a room. One common solution for keeping older sofas and chairs around that no longer match a living room color scheme or have too much wear and tear, is to create slipcovers using a sewing machine and new upholstery fabric. Slipcovers can be sewn for all types of furniture and if you are redecorating a room, you should attempt to update all furniture, including ottomans. If you are looking for an affordable way to keep your old ottoman around without disrupting your room's sense of style and coordination, then you might consider sewing your own ottoman slipcover.
How To Use a Storage Ottoman
If you're short on space, try adding a storage ottoman to the room. Whether you need storage in your living room, bedroom, or home office, this handy piece of furniture may just be the answer. They come in a number of shapes, sizes, textures, and materials so you can easily match them to any room's decor. Here are some tips on using a storage ottoman.
How to Match an Ottoman and Chair
When you add new furniture to your living room, like an ottoman or accent chair, it's important that they coordinate with your already existing furniture. Much like coordinating clothing, matching different pieces of furniture is important for creating a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing room. When you're matching an ottoman with a chair, it's especially important to get a piece that matches or compliments the furniture that you already have, especially since these two items will sit in such close proximity to each other. Keep reading for tips on how to match ottoman and chair.
Tips on Coordinating an Ottoman with Your Living Room
An ottoman is a versatile piece of furniture that, when chosen and incorporated tastefully, can spruce up your living room, add function and tie various design elements together. How you coordinate an ottoman with your living room depends on factors such as your decorating taste, your living room theme, the size and style of your room, the existing furniture in your space and the personality you want the room to reflect. So, when choosing an ottoman, pick one that satisfies the criteria that matter to you the most.
Trends in Leather Necklaces
Leather has always been trendy, and leather necklaces are a current hot item. Leather necklaces are very hip in men's jewelry categories because they are masculine, edgy and nature-inspired. Whether you choose black leather jewelry, brown leather men's necklaces or dyed leather necklaces, leather jewelry is versatile and always unique. You can add leather necklaces to any basic outfit to punch up the style; check out the top trends in leather men's necklaces before you start shopping.
Popular Styles of Sofas Loveseats and Ottomans
Finding the perfect sofas and loveseats for your home is essential. Your living room furniture is an important part of your home decor, so making the right furniture choice is vital. When choosing new living room furniture like sofas, loveseats and ottomans you'll need to consider what kind of fabric, style and look you want for your home. Taking the time to consider all your options will help you make the best choice possible. Keep reading for more ideas about popular styles of sofas, loveseats and ottomans for your home.
An Introduction to Gliders
A new alternative to traditional rocking chairs is are gliders. With so many new furniture fads nowadays, it's hard to keep up with what's popular as well as practical. Gliders and ottomans are a new and upcoming piece of furniture fashion that accents and compliments any room's decor. They're a useful and comfortable piece of furniture that merits some serious contemplation. Below is an introduction to gliders and ottomans that will help you decide if they are right for you.
Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.
Top 5 Materials for Bar Stools
Whether you need seating at a kitchen counter, breakfast bar or bar table, bar stools solve your seating crisis. Bar stools are available in many styles and come in leather, wood, plastic, metal and other materials. You can even find bar stools upholstered in fabrics of every color, which means that you can match any room in your home. With so many possibilities available, it's good to know what the top five materials for bar stools are in order to make a decision on what will work best in your home.
FAQs about Weight Benches
Weight benches are standard fixtures bought and used in most home gyms. They are one of the most popular home gym machines on the market today. Your basic weight bench consists of a board that measures about 1 foot wide and about 3 feet long and is supported on metal legs. The board is padded for the comfort of the user. Most weight benches also include an affixed rack or stand on one end to hold weights.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
Best Rooms for a Chaise
When you want to relax and read a book or lounge in front of the fire, a chaise is the perfect piece of home furniture for the job. The soft, curved backrest and extended footrest on a chaise makes it the ideal location to simply sit back and relax. Plus, the curved shape and customary leather or fabric upholstery of a chaise lounge adds an extra level of comfort you can't get anywhere else. Although the living room is probably the most popular location for your chaise, there is no reason why such a comfortable piece of furniture shouldn't be used in other rooms throughout your home. Here are some ideas beyond the living room on how to spread the comfort.
Tips on Choosing Benches for Every Style
Benches, whether placed inside or outside the home, add charm and convenience to any decor. Many different types and styles of benches exist, from basic garden benches to benches made in the Louis XVI style. Knowing exactly which type of bench will work best isn't always easy. However, the task can become simpler if you think about both functionality and design. Look at the tips on choosing benches for every style below for some great advice on finding the right bench for you.

Cab above the ovens. It's 30" deep and holds SOOOO much
Pot drawers
New Dishwasher
Corner unit closed and open
two way trash pullout
toe kick drawers
Cleanup area and fridge
We love our kitchen. It ended up costing 50% over our original budget and that figure will be going up with the purchase of the Miele Fridge and freezer units.
One surprise cost came about because the KD had the wrong measurements and we had to move the sliding door to accomodate the cabinets so MEASURE and then CHECK the blueprints!
It's about time you got off your arse and posted this :oP I've been waiting to see the man handles in action!!! I love so many things about this kitchen I can't name them all, but a few that stick out....you know I'm a knob girl, so you totally rocked me out there!!! I also love the two tone woods. My can storage cabinet collapsed, so I'm thinking when it's replaced I'll outfit the drawers like yours! Wonderful idea!
What' not done???? It looks 100% to me...100% fabulous!!!
Beautiful! I remember seeing your two-tone cabinets earlier, and thought they were very special. The town we moved from last spring is just down the road from Nappanee -- great craftsmen in that part of the country! I'm glad you're enjoying your gorgeous new kitchen.
Still one of my favorite kitchens! Love the custom "corbels" on your overhang--so sleek and contemporary! Everything is so cool looking: the handles, the different woods, your granite (I helped vote for that one!), I can't decide what I like best about your kitchen!
Oh, and your hanging-pan storage cab is pure genius--I'm quite envious!
OT, but you were very helpful while I was deciding about getting my A-C pots and pans--I added another A-C pot to my collection recently--a 4 qt soup pot from W-S (everywhere else it's called a 4 qt casserole, but W-S sells it as a soup pot, with a large A-C ladle, all for ~$50 less than the other stores and it is the identical pot--same model # on the box). I love using all of them (have been seriously considering adding the 6 qt buffet pan to my collection, too...I think you helped to create a monster!).
Your kitchen is special since it is unique, pretty and so contemporary with the most wonderful storage!
What width are your hardwood floors and what species since it goes so well with the contemporary feel of your kitchen. I never thought I liked diagonal wood floors but your floor has change my mind since in a wood species like you have the floor does not look too busy on the diagonal like it does to me with floors with a lot of variation in color. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys - I really and truely would not have had this fabulous working kitchen without the help of my GW friends and my friend Julie who helped design the cabinet doors and I definitely wouldn't have all this cool stuff if it weren't for Ken at Ayr. If I said "can we do this?" he always said we'll find a way and he did. Thanks Ken!!
LOL igchic - there's NO BACKSPLASH and there might never be one. I LOVE rknee All my toe kick drawers are visable in the pics above: There are two drawers in the butlers pantry - the one is open and the one next to it is closed, there is one under the double ovens, and the bottom can drawer is the 4th one. The really nice thing about the drawers is they are regular drawers that go into the toe kick space making them deeper and also with a funny little ledge in the front as you can see in the open drawers. There's no way we would have got three layers of cans in there without going into that space.
Cat_mom TY!! Love your kitchen too and every time I see it I drool over your backsplash.
AC is the best!! Cookwarenmore.com has a bi-annual sale where they sell seconds. I bought a roasting pan during the sale and I swear you can't see the imperfection. Totally worth it for up to 50% off.
Oh and to give credit where credit is due, the idea for the pot hanging cabinet came from a kitchen I saw on here. It was that beautiful white kitchen inspired by the one in the movie Something's gotta give belonging to susanandmarkw
rhome - thanks!! The hardware comes from many sources. The fridge and DW handles come from New Zealand IIRC. The rest are discontinued Hafale handles and knobs that I fell in love with and ended up not being able to get locally cause no one had stock anymore. They ended up coming from Germany. And the Manhandle, well the manhandle was a total splurge. It gets so many comments and does a brilliant job of hiding the pantry cause no one thinks it's a handle. We just love him.
Jeannie - I am honored... you have one of the most stunningly gorgeous kitchens I have ever seen with an attention to detail like no other AND YOU LIKE MY KITCHEN!! I am humbled. Thank you
Janran, thanks for noticing the floor. We replaced all the carpets on the first floor with the beech boards and putting it on the diagonal opened up the entire area. It makes it look so much bigger (was another budget overload though - I think we needed 10% more material and labor was also more but so worth it)
sweetd13, yep it's hard to mess up the cabinets and drawers as everything fits so perfectly. Now don't ask about the counters OK and I won't have to shoot you
Now you have me blushing loves2cook4six! I am honored that you, with the lust-worthy kitchen, loves mine!
I absolutely think the Stilatto (sp? still can't get it right after all this time!) tile would look awesome in your kitchen! One of the warmer (deeper?) colors would look terrific with your cabs and granite. You could install it vert. or horiz. and it would work.
Please keep me posted as to that sale. The W-S outlet not too far from us sells seconds at about 20% or 30% off list, but I can get first quality with a 20% off coupon at a nearby cooking store (or even Fortunoff or Bloomingdales when they have their sales/coupons) so the outlet's certainly no bargain. The 6 qt pan is the only thing on my more immediate wish list at this time (with a roasting pan on the slightly further down the road list!), but I know more will tempt me--I'm really enjoying them. A new kitchen and good cookware certainly do make cooking more fun, huh? LOL
Loves2cook - As I was scrolling through your pics, my cheeks were starting to hurt I was smiling so big! It must be an absolute JOY to work in your new space -- it is obviously so well thought out, not mention to die for gorgeous! I love that you literally seem to find a functional use for every inch! I covet the Manhandle -- just fantastic! Wow, wow, wow - thanks for sharing - this one is great!
Boy your kitchen is really beautiful. You utilized every inch of space. Can you tell me more about your pots? Did you get the SS ones with the copper bottom? Did you get the coated ones. I am looking for pots for my new kitchen also. I would appreciated any help about your cookware.
What a creative, artful and beautiful kitchen! So many unexpected things. Gotta LOVE it! Having the range in the middle where one would normally expect a sink. Great idea. Good working space on either side! Having the sink where one would think would be the area for the range. Great working area away from the other working space.
The handles. What can I say? If you tire of them....I will gladly take them off your hands! They are so special. I love them!
I also love that you did the floor on the diagonal. The wood is gorgeous on the cabs and the flooring. Great use of space. Great job. So creative! So beautiful. I am sure the pictures don't do it justice!
I don't have a house I could even contemplate a contemporaary kitchen in, but I've really enjoyed watching yours come together. If I were to swap kitchens with you, I think I might switch the pendants (I'm a blue person, love red too, but I wouldn't pick yellow), but I admire everything else. Your kitchen has what I love most -- function and great use of available space, creativity and personality. It's warm and fun, has a rich beauty and is "kicky" too. And it's all yours. Enjoy every bit of it.
Your new kitchen is so fun! And beautiful! Your knobs are a riot - especially the "man handle". The checkerboard on the cabinets is really cool. Who came up with all these great ideas? I have never seen a kitchen like it. I love the corbels on your bar - straight out of the Jetsons! I think I must spend too much time looking at traditional kitchens. Your kitchen is a breath of frest air followed by a giggle. Enjoy your new space and thanks for sharing.
Wow! How mod! How organized! How personal! What attention to detail! It's a great space that is so uniquely "you". I bet that room lifts your spirits whenever you enter it-- which is what we all hope for in our remodels. Congratulations on a beautiful space and a job well done.
There's nothing I can add to what's already been said but ... oh-my-gawd, that is one heck of a kitchen! You are a girl after my own heart with regard to organization and storage, but you've done things I never even dreamed of. And your finishes are to die for. So, congratulations, and don't make yourself black-and-blue pinching yourself every time you walk into that unbelievably beautiful space.
OMG I LOVE love LOVE your kitchen!
I would walk in there every morning & spend my whole day smiling - what a feel good space! Yeah yeah, I know, it's very unusual & personal & unique & might not appeal to everyone, but while the quirkiness & fun factor is a big part of it, it also looks utterly elegant & highly functional.
Just beautiful! I remember seeing some of the details you've posted in the past; it's an absolute delight seeing how wonderfully you've put it all together.
Yours is one of the kitchens I would just love to visit in person!
I am so happy to see your incredible & incredibly thoughtful kitchen in its entirety! Seriously -- looking at your kitchen makes me think: if only. It is so organized and the attention to detail is just meticulous.
I hope I don't hurt your feelings by writing this, but it reminds me of a wonderfully playful, exuberant kitchen I saw on tv (HGTV's I Want That! Kitchens) -- theirs was based on an open-concept restau (I think) they saw in Circus Circus (again, I think) in Las Vegas. I loved that kitchen, although I don't think their function was as good as yours by half. I just love yours too. (Actually, I love yours more because in addition to be incredibly fun it's also incredibly thoughtful in terms of its use.)
You know what else I love? The six braid challah you taught me how to do! I've not been as good about making challah every week (we've been experimenting with other breads), but every time I do, it's your six braid! (ours never, ever looks as good as yours, but with a four and two year-old "helping" with the braid, it looks as good as it can!)
Anyway, I can't stop scrolling back up to look at your pictures!
I'm sorry the GE Monograms couldn't be resuscitated -- what a bummer! (I remember your post about the ongoing problems with them.) But I'm so pleased the Miele(s) will work out. (We have the Miele's cousin, Thermador columns, and love them!)
Really nice kitchen. But you must know that that man-handle is quite disgusting. Quite brings down an otherwise lovely room. I'm going to email you my address - send that to me and I'll get rid of it for you. And while you're at it, there are a few other things that you might want to let me get rid of for you too: that two-toned pantry door that he's attached to for one ...
BTW, any chance you could take some close-in pictures of the upper door handles? They look quite interesting but can't quite make them out in the pictures since they've been taken from far enough away. No doubt they're perfectly foul too, but would like to confirm my suspicions.
GORGEOUS and unique kitchen. Congratulations!
Still think you should let me get rid of your pantry door and climbing-man for you, though.
I *love* the great use of storage space. Ingenious functional storage gets me every time, even before the fun/funky form :) So much to learn from here. And I can tell from all your implements that this kitchen is *every bit* a real working kitchen, not a flash for flash's sake showpiece. What's not to love! :)
I looked at your pics quickly yesterday before I had to run off to coach, and I've been trying to think how to express what your kitchen does for me.
As someone else said, it's the quirkiness that is so appealing and refreshing. I keep thinking it's a room someone that works at Disney might design. Or...if the Jetsons' kitchen was actually being designed this year instead of 40(?) years ago!
Anyhow- just add my kudos to the list! Well done!!!
WoW!! THANK YOU GUYS. I was so nervous posting here - this issuch unusual kitchen that I truely wasn't sure how it would be received but we absolutely love it and I am so glad you do too.
I really think the biggest help was working out where everything would go when we were done and then setting up the "kitchen" floorplan in the garage using appliance boxes and working through a couple of our make-a-lot meals. We refined it quite a bit that way and the actual kitchen has met or exceeded all our expectations in function and form.
The one thing I sometimes wish we would have changed is moving one DW more into the prep area making cleanup easier but the reasoning for not doing it was sound form over function :) We didn't want to see the prep sink from the front door and that was the only other floor-plan that worked. I keep having to remind myself of that.
dancefit my pots are All-Clad Stainless. We bought them because non of our old pots and pans except for the Le Creuset Dutch ovens were not compatible with the induction top. I LOVE these pans. They are awesome to cook with. They've definitely made me a better cook.
mustbnuts - the floor-plan was inspired by out of the box thinking by my then 7 yr old LOL. He wanted me to watch him play outside while I was cooking. Initially there was some reserve here about putting the cooktop under the window but code in our village allows it as long as there are no combustible materials like fabric around and if the windows open, which ours do, the cooktop cannot be gas which ours isn't
lascatx - great minds think alike!! The yellow pendant was supposed to be the back up in case any of the others ever broke. The one that should have been there is a blue one but the electrician put them up without consulting me - he didn't think it made a difference - and then to get him back would have cost $100 so we live with it for now. It's still beautiful.
Auchmedden The checkerboard was from my inspiration kitchen and my friend Julie, who is a graphic designer sat down with me, a few copies of the elevation and brown, yellow and black crayons and we worked it all out in about an hour although I couldn't have done it alone.
Crabapplemcn and others: the metal braces were custom made for my kitchen. Our granite fabricator has worked with Eric, the stainless steel fabricator from Indiana, before and together we designed the look I wanted. Eric consulted with the installation crew and together they figured out how it would be installed. The wall they attach to was built to take the weight of the bar PLUS those pullout seats from innovative-seating. We ran out of money so just have standing stools there now.
Acountryfarm - we had TG dinner last year for 44 WITH NO PLUMBING in the sinks and an oven that I didn't realise at the time was 50 degree too low LOL This year I have plumbing and only 14 people coming. I'm really looking forward to it.
maydl,redroze and moonkat - thank you :) Come on over any time just give me some warning so I can get the counters organized
rmkitchen - you're a GENIUS!!! THAT WAS MY INSPIRATION KITCHEN!! Their kitchen was based on Circus Circus but I took most of the colorful elements out - wow you have a good memory. I saw the kitchen in a magazine and my inspiration came from there. I didn't hear about the TV show until much later
Here's one of the pictures we used for inspiration!
mindstorm - you had me there for a minute. [GRIN] but my manhandle doesn't like to fly and he hates being packaged in a little box. He likes it just where he is and he's staying put.
Our inspiration kitchen had about 15 different handles but the space was about 4 times what we have. It would have looked like a circus.
zeebee - I'd tell you where I got the pendants but then you might have to shoot ME. It wasn't easy working with THAT glass blower but any good local glass blower should be able to make you something similar.
Flyleft and others. A lot of the storage solutions are unique. DH is a fledgling woodworker and did all the fittings for the inside of the drawers including the can drawers. Everything was made to measure which is why it all fits so well. A HUGE advantage of going fully custom. The rest is due in HUGE part to Ken at Ayr cabinetry. We tweaked this layout to make sure EVERY inch was used. He never said no to a single request. I think I drove him nuts but it was SOOOO worth it.
raehelen :)
Thanks again everyone. Now I must run and clean up the mess I made making dinner: Beef Brisket, mashed potatoes, broccoli and La Bete Noir! Sorry - no pictures.
See, the problem with arriving so late to the praise party is that everyone has already said everything I would have said. . . and probably 10X better. But, I will say this Loves: I've been following your reno for more than a year now. During that time I've also been blessed by sharing of great advice for me on my own kitchen reno. So, to now see your finished project -- so beautiful, creative,functional and stepping out of the box in every way yet responsive to every of a serious cook's room-- well it just takes my breath away! I'm so very happy for you! You go!
Now, you've inspired me to try and think up something for my classic white kitchen that can be even a fraction as clever and stunning as that fantastic manhandle! :)

The installation of a new water main in Elm Grove could create traffic headaches for drivers.
The village sent out a memo today to village residents to help them plan ahead.
According to the memo:
The installation of the water main on Wall Street and Elm Grove Road will start May 28.
This project will provide water service to a new senior-living facility on Wall Street and is expected to be completed by the end of August. Water main will be installed under Elm Grove Road from Bishops Lane in Brookfield to Wall Street in Elm Grove.
Wall Street will remain open to traffic, but delays should be expected. Elm Grove Road will be closed to through-traffic once the contractor reaches the intersection of Wall Street and Elm Grove Road. This closure is expected to last two weeks.
Access will only be allowed to homeowners and businesses in the closed area. Detour signs will be posted for the official detour route of Sunnyslope and Watertown Plank roads.
Residents can sign up for updates and alerts on the project on the village's website, ElmGroveWI.org.
Direct questions to Richard Paul, Jr., public works director, at (262) 782-6700.

I'm venturing into the whole fruit wine arena... sort of.
Bought 15 lbs frozen, sliced strawberries at Sam's Club this afternoon. Combined with enough water (maybe 6 quarts) to make 5 gallons of must. I added a dose of pectic enzyme and campden (for a must of 5 gallons) and will pitch either lalvin 1122 or 1118 in the morning. Here's the questions:
1. Did I add enough water to extract the fruit juice from the fruit? It's not a lot of water, but certainly a lot of fruit, maybe 3.5-4 gallons of (loose) volume in my 7 gallon fermenting bucket.
2. What the hell is my SG? I have no idea as, I'm sure, no sugars were extracted from the fruit right away. What should I expect?
3. I plan to follow a daily/bi-daily regiment of punching down the fruit once the yeast has been pitched. I'm okay as long as my punch-down device is sanitized, right?
4. Do I need to add table sugar to the mix? I guess the answer depends on #2 above, I'm shooting for above 8% alcohol on this one, and have no time frame on which it needs to complete.
5. Any general advice on using this much fruit? I've never dealt with such a large fruit:fluid ratio.
Thanks for your help!
That looks absolutely delicious. I'll add the golden raisins and a mix of dark brown sugar and white sugar this evening.
the only thing I would do differnt is to wait 24 hours before adding campden. the pectic enzyme work better without Sulfite. I also use organic raisins because the non organic also have a lot of sulfites added. I add my own based on what I need You have no idea what the processor has added
yes they list sulfate but not amount. Organic raisins dont have sulfates added and cost like 60 cents more, some where on package it will say contains sulfates if they have them. It isn't always on ingredients.If it isn't there, then it is cool
I need to remember to bring a magnifier glass when I go shopping. Am I just getting old are are the prints getting much smaller along with the package sizes?
In Primary: Belgium Chimay clones.
In Secondary: Braggot, pale ale, end of the world white.
Conditioning: Mead, Cider, braggot, Belgium Wheat.
On Tap: Clones, Chimay Blue, Red, Porter, malted cider.
Bottles: Far, far, too many to list.
Added 2lbs dark brown sugar and 5 cups white cane sugar (boiled) to the mix. Also 15 oz box of rough-chopped golden raisins.
Man, this 1116 doesn't appear to be fermenting very vigorously. It doesn't foam when I stir it up--might repitch this evening. I've had wines take a day or two to fire up, but this is weird.
Maybe some goferm in the next batch to be hydrated and some nutrient/energizer wouldn't hurt.
I went home over lunch and pitched a package each of 1118 and D-47. One critter WILL chew up this sugar I have prepared.

Private Lives of Print: curator introductions and films
A selection of films of and about books featured in the Private Lives of Print exhibition. These films were made by Błażej Mikuła of the Library's Digital Content Unit.
The physician Andreas Vesalius was born 500 years ago in 1514; he died fifty years later, in 1564. He is best known for his Seven books on the fabric of the human body (commonly known as the Fabrica after its Latin title) published in 1543. It was a landmark publication in the history of medicine, with its large format, numerous woodcuts and detailed description of the structures and functions of the human body. Even larger, though much shorter, was a companion piece called the Epitome of the seven books on the fabric of the human body, published in the same year. Cambridge University Library has a rich collection of sixteenth-century medical books, including four copies of the first edition, two copies of the second edition of the Fabrica, and a unique, coloured copy of the Epitome.
These books were innovative in form and in content. In form, they were designed with features such as dissected bodies in various gestures, tailor-made initials, continuous background landscapes, and layered paper bodies. In content, they sought to revive first-hand knowledge of anatomy as the foundation of medicine, as practised by the ancients and advocated by Galen (a Greek physician working in Rome in the second century AD). 'Vivitur ingenio, caeteris mortis erunt' is a phrase (attributed in the sixteenth century to Virgil) Vesalius attached to one of the images in his Fabrica. 'Ingenium' was a word that meant natural inclination, innate capacity, talent or wit, and when contrasted with death, it could suggest something like spirit. The phrase may thus be translated as 'one lives on by the spirit, the rest shall belong to death'. This exhibition highlights the 'Vesalian spirit' by focusing on some of the striking features of Vesalius's work within the context of other illustrated medical books of the period in the Cambridge collection.
Nowhere is the Vesalian spirit better captured than in the frontispiece of the Fabrica, which has an iconic status in the history of medicine. Click here to watch Dr Andrew Cunningham, author of The anatomical Renaissance: the resurrection of the anatomical projects of the ancients (1997), discuss the man and his book.

The Cambridge coloured copy of the Epitome can be viewed in full in the Cambridge University Digital Library.

The Gutenberg Bible (better called Gutenberg-Fust Bible), the first large-scale production of the newly developed system of typographic printing, was completed in Mainz in 1455. Perhaps 180 copies were printed of this Latin Bible, available for purchase in either vellum copies (about a quarter of the edition run) or paper.
This exhibition is the culmination of a five-year project to catalogue all of Cambridge University Library's incunabula, made possible by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

One April morning in 1943, a sardine fisherman spotted the corpse of a British soldier floating in the sea off the coast of Spain and set in train a course of events that would change the course of the Second World War. Operation Mincemeat was the most successful wartime deception ever attempted, and certainly the strangest. It hoodwinked the Nazi espionage chiefs, sent German troops hurtling in the wrong direction, and saved thousands of lives by deploying a secret agent who was different, in one crucial respect, from any spy before or since: he was dead. His mission: to convince the Germans that instead of attacking Sicily, the Allied armies planned to invade Greece. The brainchild of an eccentric RAF officer and a brilliant Jewish barrister, the great hoax involved an extraordinary cast of characters including a famous forensic pathologist, a gold-prospector, an inventor, a beautiful secret service secretary, a submarine captain, three novelists, a transvestite English spymaster, an irascible admiral who loved fly-fishing, and a dead Welsh tramp.Using fraud, imagination and seduction, Churchill's team of spies spun a web of deceit so elaborate and so convincing that they began to believe it themselves. The deception started in a windowless basement beneath Whitehall. It travelled from London to Scotland to Spain to Germany. And it ended up on Hitler's desk. Ben Macintyre, bestselling author of "Agent Zigzag", weaves together private documents, photographs, memories, letters and diaries, as well as newly released material from the intelligence files of MI5 and Naval Intelligence, to tell for the first time the full story of Operation Mincemeat.
Ben Macintyre is a columnist and Associate Editor on The Times. He has worked as the newspaper's correspondent in New York, Paris and Washington. He is the author of seven previous books including Agent Zigzag, the story of wartime double-agent Eddie Chapman, which was shortlisted for the Costa Biography Award and the Galaxy British Book Award for Biography of the Year 2008. He lives in London with his wife and three children.

i dont watch mtv much, but i probly would watch it more if they had more music videos and less stuff that no one wants to watch.
I cannot stand MTV anymore because of all the crappy reality shows they have on now. They are called "Music Television" Where's the darn music? Sheesh, it's just not right. False advertising, that's what I say!!!

I don't watch MTV becuase of their spring break coverage, being in school and working on research and not being 21, their coverage depresses me as i want to be up in all that, but I can't because of other responsibilities, so its just a depressing channel. Also, because they only play mainstream stuff, such rock, hip-hop and rap, they don't have club sets or electronica music videos as well. So there is really no musical value to MTV for me
