This is TINY compared to what I expected from the photo - also the stone is very dark and gray - it has no hint of purple at all. I would say this might be ok for a child, but I will be returning this.Read More

any recommended online/other resources for selling yourself?
I've got to try to sell my home myself (at least try) first, and though I am a serious (though out of work) professional with several related skills (I wouldn't pretend to be an experienced real estate agent, to those of you who are). In line with studying/preparing to do it the best I can, I wondered if this forum could help at all with useful online (or other, besides obvious advertising) resources for posting FSBO homes (I'm near Phila, PA, if region matters). My sense is there are some usual or popular ones out there.. and did I also read that I could pay to have my place listed (w/o an agent) on MLS?
THANK YOU in advance for any information and advice -
I had previously read over all I could (including in this forum) on prep'ing the house to sell by owner.. and then tried to look for ads online and in newspapers... the quality/content seemed poor, so I'd been hoping there may be sites where I might build an ad with portfolio of photos (good ones).
I just searched "FSBO" here as suggested... and see much helpful info, including 'on low rate brokers who'll list... but it seems there are brambles to work through... I'm usually a trooper... and I currently have the time.. perhaps I should try it myself for now, - through and after the holidays - and if no luck - then try w/an agent. Like someone else I read about though, I am anxious to move on with my life and would like to be prepared with having the house prep'd/sold when a new job comes along (I hope in a new area).
Seems one of the big questions is how popular FSBO's are at this time and in my region, for my type neighborhood... I do believe I have the skills if I 'know what's really going on in the world'...
Again, any and all advice is much appreciated -
These are just some of the things you need to consider.
Familiarize yourself with the discrimination in housing laws. You want to make sure you don't run afoul of them, even in innocent ways. Example, if buyers ask regarding your neighborhoods' or neighbors' ethnicity, religious persuasion, or sexual orientation, politely decline to answer.
Familiarize yourself with disclosure requirements for your location. Have any required disclosures ready to hand out.
Have blank sales agreements at hand. You will have to learn what kind of earnest money is customary in your location and how you are going to handle it (hold check, deposit in an account, etc). The sales agreement will need to be vetted by a local real estate attorney.
Have a closing agent lined up. Best is your real estate attorney. Worst is their real estate attorney. Neutral is someone that customarily handles closings, but isn't an agent of either party, such as a title company. Be extremely cautious of any buyer who has an attorney that wants to negotiate with your attorney. That is all done at the attorneys' billable rates. Get a signed sales agreement that is satisfactory to you first, then run it by your attorney.
Decide on an advertising strategy. An impossible-to-read-at-speed pencil written sign on your lawn isn't it, yet you would be amazed how many do just that.
Plan how to handle the phony inquiries that will come from agents trying to get a listing on your property, and scam artists who want you to agree to some nefarious scheme or supply personal information to them. Be especially careful responding to automated emails that will arrive if you manage to list on the Internet somewhere, which of course you should do.
Obviously, there is a lot more to it. This is just a taste of the stuff I went through, and the property I sold didn't even have a house on it.
In my state, it's not that expensive to take a real estate agent's class, or even to take the real exam that licenses you by the state. If you have the time, it would give the info you want (plus a fair amount that you don't want), and might even be a useful skill down the road.
Thank you creek side for all of the info and advice, and mjlb...I'm comfortable with some of my skills for this 'job'... but I still need to look for online resources (places to advertise for those who look for FSBO), as I think more or better ones exist than I've found so far. The biggest problem I see so far is timing - as it's already October (getting close to holidays and I assume less/no buying season) - and I don't know if an agent would do any better at this time of year than I, in this economy (again, not negating their experience - I don't know that I can afford to use one).
I have also talked to folks in my neighborhood who had 2 buyers - who ended up not qualifying ultimately financially - and it took 3 "sales" to get a real/final one. I know it's not going to be easy.

Since everyone seemed to love this photo (www.flickr.com/photos/chrisgampat/4064010683/) I decided to give the public what they want. After all, that is what we paparazzo do, despite the fact that I'm done with that business for the most part. These are all my favorite photos of Gerard Butler that I've shot while he was working on "The Bounty" this summer.
Enjoy, ladies :) Feel free to download it.
If you're going to use this photo or post it anywhere on the internet, please link back to here: www.flickr.com/photos/chrisgampat/4067907961/
Seen here:
Suxine :") Nguyễn Dz, Cravin2010, and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Man That Is, GERARD BUTLER, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Thank you for sharing your work, Chris. What made you decide not to be a paparazzo anymore?
Hi patthekat, you're welcome. I got one of the roughest starts ever in the business. Drew Barrymore sicked five guards on me, Julia Roberts's guards threatened me, Justin Long's manager gave me this really bad look (all those photos are in the flickr.) Gerard and the cast of Law and Order (those are coming) were really the only pleasant opportunities I had. In addition, not many people know this but paparazzo only get paid every three months. Reason for this is because that's how the media companies (like newspapers) strike the deal with our agencies (I worked for Spotlight Press.)
Spotlight never paid me though. I don't mind the hassel because I've worked through roughness and I'm better equipped these days. The hardest part of shooting is facial recognition. The hardest part of the job is getting paid every three months. If there was a way to get paid faster and get paid well, I'd be all over this business. It's very addictive. Additionally, some paparazzo (like myself) aren't the swine that television shows make us out to be.
It's rough, maybe I'll go back one day. I'd still do it as a side gig if I were guaranteed payment upon delivery of the images.
Great <3
Chris: Since I've not been a follower of celebrities, I had no idea what a paparazzo was or does so this has been an eye opener for me. I know that some of them are blatantly obnoxious and disrespectful. Case in point... We all download photos of our favs, like Gerry, and we don't give it a second thought as to the circumstances behind the photo, especially if Gerry, in this case, is alone on a city street. I had seen a few shots of him and didn't think anything of it until I saw a video clip that showed he was being hounded relentlessly by some paparazzos (sp?). They harassed him so much that he was forced to call someone on his cell for help. Eventually, a friend did come and rescue him. That made me really angry that it took someone to rescue Gerry for him to be free of those nasty people. Some of the things they were trying to nail him on (like who he's sleeping with) were pushing him to the edge. It shows how much patience and class Gerry has because he had every right to go after those people.
I agree with you and that's why I mentioned that I'm not one of those low lifes. For the record, a paparazzo is the singular of paparazzi (which you surely must be familiar with.)
In truth though, you can't totally blame the paparazzi because the one's that leak the info of whereabouts are their agents or movie companies. Something along the lines of, "Hi, I saw your work in US Weekly. It's amazing. Meanwhile, my client is at so and so. It'd be lovely if you shoot her and I'd guarantee you exclusives." Exclusives pay paparazzi lots of money if they can sell them quickly.
Antagonizing celebrities gets emotions out of them, that's not always such a great thing to do. As a street photographer I'm taught to disarm people with my smile. It works. I've made it work in general. Gerard is a good guy.

Hi Janice,
I thought you might like to know that I just posted a picture of Fran's headstone to her memorial page.
I read what you had written in the bio section. It made me smile to see such sweet memories shared!

Hi Janice,
Well, are we going to get this "big" snow they are predicting? I know we need the moisture, but I'd rather have it in liquid form :-)
Thanks for the info on your sister. I went ahead and created the memorial for her and transferred it to you. I added your little story about Christmas and the guitars, but since you now oversee the memorial, you can do what you want. Please don't forget to let me know if there are any other family members you would like to take over management of the memorials.
I am finally feeling normal again. That bug was NASTY!
Talk to you soon!

RE: Viola Kucera
Glad to hear that you got it all taken care of. Yes, it's been a looooong week...still feeling the effects but on the mend. Just remember, don't get real excited about anything you do on Find A Grave...it can always be "fixed" in some way if you don't like how it turns out. Glad to hear you have someone who can physically be there to show you how to do things. Just explaining something in words doesn't always cut it- I've always been the type of person who needs to watch somebody do something!
Have a great Sunday Janice!

RE: Charles Kucera
Hi Janice,
Fighting a stomach flu bug, so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
It says "Add to My Friends" on a person's profile page until you click on it. Then it changes to "Remove from Friends" after you have added that person. You would only click that link IF you wanted to remove me or anyone else. So you're fine- I'm still listed as your friend :-)
Haven't had a chance to "look you up" on Google or YouTube but plan on doing that today while I'm home still fighting this flu bug!

RE: Your Daddie, Charles Kucera
You might check on one of the discussion forums to see if Find A Grave can delete the message for you, but you can't do it. My only suggestion would be that if it bothers you that much, you should just redo the message.
Now, to "link" your parents, just copy the Memorial # at the bottom of the page (on one of your parents) and "copy" it. Then go to the page of the other parent and click the link under "bio" that says "link family members". Several empty boxes will pop up and you just "paste" the number into the "spouse" box. Then your parents will be linked after you save.
Take care Janice!

Your "flower" for your father-
Hi again Janice,
Sorry, but I can't add a space into your message. Simply can't do that after you have added a message to a memorial. I left the bio's of your parents blank because I figured that you would want to fill these in with personal information that I don't have.

RE: Charles A. Kucera Jr.
Hello Janice,
I've transferred your mother and father to you. As for your sister, I can't find her in the Exeter memorial listings. What was her "given" name? Was she married? When I have that info, I can transfer to you.
Also, it only costs $5 to sponsor a memorial forever. You just click on the "heart" that says "sponsor a memorial" on the left side of the page. It lists the steps to complete to sponsor one.
I'm so glad I was able to help you with your quest. If there is anything else I can do, don't hesitate to contact me.

RE: Charles A. Kucera Jr.
I remember you saying that he was in Exeter's cemetery...and he is the only Charles there. So go to the cemetery's home page and type in his name in the search boxes (first/last). Should take you right to the listing. OR, you can put in his memorial number in the Begin New Search action to the left (#121640241).

Lola amazed me. I love floral scents , bouquet not just single flowers. Still, sometimes the mixtures smell similar mainstream.
This is not the case with Lola, to me it smells a little powdery oriental, but the flowers predominate, to me it is sweet, but perfectly and not too sweet. I think I smell the wonderful violets out.
Definitely one of the scent surprises to me.

Women. Communication. Money
The fact that women earn less than men in veterinary medicine is statistically validated. The percentage varies depending on the study you look at, but all the research points to a considerable discrepancy, even when you control for years of experience and hours worked. The question is, why? When you start to speculate, that's when cheeks flush and voices rise.
Despite the contentious nature of the subject, we decided eventually (some of us a bit grudgingly) that Jan Miller, our cover story author, had a defensible hypothesis: Women communicate differently, and some of those differences can negatively affect income.Of course, the earnings gap isn't isolated to veterinary medicine. According to the Department of Labor, women earn less than men across professions. Here's the percentage of men's salaries earned by women in specific fields:
• Sales: 64 percent • Technology: 85 percent
• Human medicine: 72 percent • Construction: 86 percent.
When trying to pinpoint the reasons for these differences, we can't take ages-old discriminatory practices out of the picture completely. But I'm intrigued by the fact that the two professions with the largest discrepancy are the two that rely the most on communication skills. This seems to point back to Miller's proposition: that a communication problem is holding many women back when it comes to earnings. The good news is that women in veterinary medicine have a greater opportunity here than those in almost any other field. When you spend a good portion of your day in an exam room rather than a corporate office, and you regularly calculate your production instead of drawing a paycheck, you can see immediate results of any communications changes you implement.
The way I see it, rather than moan and wail about the disparity in professional earnings, women can do something about it. Whether we all agree on the reasons behind the gap isn't as important as embracing the concept that solutions exist. With the increasing number of women in the profession and in veterinary school, the future is in female hands. And these hands hold the power to make the earnings gap disappear altogether.

Clausen's potential
Posted 11 August 2011 - 09:14 AM
Posted 11 August 2011 - 09:39 AM
I know my opinion doesn't mean much on this board. I know most will probably rip me for saying this.
Jimmy Clausen was the best pure passer I've ever seen in college football his senior year. His earlier years, you could see his potential shine through here and there, but his senior year was amazing. Full command of the offense, pinpoint accuracy, and great decision making.
His rookie year with Carolina, he was terrible, much like his freshman year of college. However, I don't think so many should write him off in the NFL so soon. Maybe his skills will never translate to the NFL, but his rookie year was not a good sample set to go off. His coaches didn't believe in him and he was thrown in the mix after a veteran QB couldn't do any better with this team. He was the 1st rookie QB to start games with rookie WRs on both sides in NFL history. His OL was injury-stricken and awful in pass protection. He had no TE to speak of to throw to. Steve Smith...injured, D Williams...injured. All of the veteran leadership was traded away before the season. The coaching staff mailed it in after deeming Matt Moore the starter and that didn't work out. Also, Jimmy was coming off surgery to repair a torn ligament in his foot. All this while dealing with constant media torment about sliding in the draft and having "character" issues (which were largely from hype surrounding his limo at his commitment to ND which he had no part of setting up).
Anyway, I'm not comparing him to any other QBs on or off the Carolina roster, I'm just saying the kid can be the QB we hoped he would still.
I think potential of a QB has every thing to do with the mental aspect of the game. So everyone saying he can't throw or doesn't have the tools need to keep quiet and just see what happens. No since in booing him.
Posted 11 August 2011 - 09:46 AM
Posted 11 August 2011 - 12:43 PM
Hopefully when the Potential Hall of Fame opens up, Clausen will be among the first inducted.
Sorry that first spot belongs to the sublime Andrew Luck; I think that's reasonable.
Posted 11 August 2011 - 01:05 PM
Well, aside from the reading portion of the GED exam and Developing an Informed Opinion 101, the Huddle never fails.
Hate aside...
Clausen showed nothing in terms of intangibles last season. Being as this was my primary concern with Cam, Jimmy worried me when he seemed to pack it in mentally instead of inspiring his teammates with his guts and fire. That was a problem for me, even more than his looking lost on the field.
Jimmy, from what little I do know about him, loves the game and is a student of. He has played not to lose (checkdowns, short passes, etc), which hopefully the new staff has shown him that playing in such a manner doesn't necessarily mean that they will win, just that they're more concerned with not losing as opposed to winning. That might not make sense to everyone, but maybe this will: he was playing to be her friend so that he wouldn't not have sex with her, but that usually means he doesn't get in there, it just means he doesn't look like that dude so desperate for ass that he hides cameras in the ladies' stalls. Either way, he wasn't making Charlie Sheen proud
I don't understand how having two young guys competing to be the franchise QB is such a horrible idea to some that they have to be traded as soon as one looks remotely better.

Stem cells may aid Parkinson's treatment
Tuesday January 29, 2013
www.sfgate.com - There is much excitement in the medical profession about how stem-cell-based therapies could someday affect how Parkinson's disease is treated.
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder caused by the dying off of a certain type of brain cells. These cells are located in the midbrain of the brainstem in an area called the substantia nigra.
They are responsible for making a neurotransmitter called dopamine. Without the effect of dopamine, a patient can develop problems with initiating and coordinating movement, along with other symptoms characteristic of Parkinson's disease.
Current drug treatments of Parkinson's disease work by increasing dopamine levels or activity at dopamine receptors. But Parkinson's experts are hopeful that stem-cell therapies will soon provide new treatment options or even a cure for the disease by reproducing the lost dopamine-making cells.
The four cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor (shaking of the hand or other parts of the body), bradykinesia (slowing of movement), postural instability (problems with balance) and rigidity (muscle stiffness).
Other characteristic symptoms include loss of facial expression, reduction in volume of the voice (called hypophonia), small handwriting (called micrographia), drooling, trouble swallowing, difficulty initiating movement (called freezing), stooped posture and a shuffling gait.
There are also "non-motor" symptoms, which refer to problems not related to movement, including sleep disturbances, fatigue and pain.
As the disease progresses, worsening mobility occurs, and death may result from pneumonia from aspiration or pulmonary embolism due to immobility. Falls are also common as the disease progresses, which can lead to injury. However, patients can live for decades after diagnosis, meaning the condition may not necessarily lead to a reduction in life span.
The gold-standard pharmacologic treatment for Parkinson's disease is a medication called Sinemet, which has been around since the late 1960s. It contains levodopa, which is the precursor of dopamine.
Because levodopa is converted to dopamine in the central nervous system, Parkinson's symptoms improve with this medication because it is replacing exactly what is missing in the disorder.
In fact, demonstrating a clear beneficial response from Sinemet has been the traditional way to confirm the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
However, the effect of pharmacologic treatment tends to diminish as the disease progresses, and patients also become more sensitive to treatment-related side effects over time.
Consequently, complex, multidrug regimens are often required to maintain adequate symptom control with good tolerability in advanced stages of the disease.
The excitement surrounding stem-cell-based therapies is that the stem cells can be induced to grow into a particular type of mature cell, including the dopamine-producing cells that are lost in Parkinson's disease. Stem cells can be embryonic or they can be induced from adult cells.
The efficacy of stem-cell treatments has been variable in animal models, and there have been safety concerns, including the risk of tumor development and rejection of transplanted cells.
Future research will be required to determine the effectiveness and safety of these various treatments, but there is hope that the way Parkinson's disease and possibly other neurodegenerative disorders are treated may be on the verge of dramatic change.
Dr. Mark Saleh is a neurologist at the Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation and the director of General Neuroconsultative and Referral Services at California Pacific Medical Center.

I was veryyy skeptical buying another MAC powder,seeing as i've tried every MAC powder and foundation and they have ALL been overrated. Most even broke me out terribly,but by a fluke I decided to try this line of powder and well it has redeemed MAC for me! Finally they got it right,this powder is just grand.
-Don't have to find perfect shade(it's transparent) one color fits all.
-Makes my skin look fresh and poreless
-Great to seal my concealer
-NOT cakey at all
-looks natural!
-beautiful finish
-adorable packaging
-like a lot of MAC products it doesn't come with an applicator,had to purchase one
-wish staying powder was just a tad better,I find my face getting oily often,but a quick blot and i'm fresh faced again!
I will definitely pre-order this again & again.
New HG compact. :) very pleased to finally get what I paid for.

My local MAC store had ran out the Mineralised Skin Finish, both pressed and loose in my shade, but it's summer in Australia and some sort of powder to set my BB cream or foundation is pretty essential! So with hesitation, with no idea what the reviews were like, I bought this as a stop-gap. Thankfully, it's great! I use an EcoTools kabuki to pick up a little, shake the excess off and then gently swirl onto my skin. It gives a lovely soft and glowy effect. It's pretty easy to use too much though, which makes me look really matte and ashen. I'd like to have both the Skin Finish and this together, as neither is a substitute for the other, and both are useful in different situations. I will repurchase.

This was my first high end powder. Before I tried this I thought that it didn't matter what powder you bought, because none of them do much. That was until I tried this, it keeps you nice and matte, but it doesn't make you look dry or caky either. I think that it's almost impossible to look caky with this powder. The only thing is if you are tan or dark, be careful not to apply too much since the powder is white it might look ashy.

This product is so overrated. I have oily skin but not super oily. So looking at the reviews I expected this powder to keep me matte all day. After 6 hours my T-zone could be used as a mirror. Thats disappointment 1.
Second disappointment is the way it fixates my make-up. I use it on top of my MAC pro longwear foundation and halfway through tte day I look like a hot mess. Its seems like the powder builds up on certain area's like my nose and chin. It just looks gross.
Never buying this again and going back to my beloved MAC blotpowder

I have been using this for slightly less than 2 months now and IT IS AMAZING. I had always had issues with my oily T zone and oily pores which I attribute to the weather in Singapore (28-33c on average, 70% humidity). I have also tried to find skincare products which helps with shine control (such as Shieseido's Pureness Matifying Moisturizer) to no avail. Have been using Shiseido's Mattifying Stick but the results it gave is nothing compared to this Prep+Prime transparent finishing powder! I usually wear this over my moisturizer/sunscreen, just to blot out the shine on my T zones and chin. Initially I was afraid that it may cause breakouts because the product wasn't certified as non-comedogenic (unlike Shiseido's products) and I was contemplating whether to get MAC or Shiseido's transparent powder. In SIngapore, this MAC powder sells for SGD40 while Shiseido's sells for SGD50. I decided to try the cheaper and alternative and I never regretted it. This powder is able to hold about 3 hours' worth of shine (depends on how long I spent in a air-conditioned environment as my skin tends to be more oily after that). It comes in the sleek black compact case which MAC is famed for, with a small round mirror. There is no brush/powder sponge puff provided but you can get one from MAC for about SGD7-9 I think. I am using EcoTool's retractable kabuki brush with this product and I highly recommend this to any girl who doesn't have overly sensitive skin/prone to breakouts and who has shine issues.

I hate selling MAC's products for them but this product isawesome. I have the loose powder which is great but of course more messy. Anyway, as a loyal multiple re-purchaser of Blot powder I didn't think anything could be better. But this powder truly minimizes my pores which can be noticeable on my nose. I don't like any shine there and this powder just takes all the shine away and seems to airbrush the pores.
EDIT 11/3/12- This does leave a bit of a white cast and is not as versatile as medium dark blot powder. This is good for a super oily nose but not all over the face with a heavy hand.
NOTHING is going to keep the shine away all day. It's just not possible. This does a great job for 3-4 hours. Touch ups are required.
I paid $24 at MAC but was surprised to find no puff inside the mirrored compact. I have been applying with a kabuki brush and the results are great. MAC blot powder is better for brown skin.

This is a great pressed power. It's transparent so it leaves no pigment, and it is also very light on the skin. I can't really say it was great value, because I feel it didn't last me as long as it should have for the price I paid. But still, I love it and would re-purchase. :)

This stuff if HG to me! It's amazing! I was always a fan of the loose version of this, so when I heard a pressed one was coming out I was so happy!
In term of the difference this makes, I feel this is the only powder in this form that actually makes a difference to the way my skin looks! I like this better than the Make up Forever HD powder.
I use the MUFE HD Foundation and set it with this, Also after about 6 hours I can tend to look a little shiny with the MUFE Foundation so I keep this powder with me at all times and do a quick dusting after about 6 hours. Usually once a day and it's just the best!
Kett Cosmetics also do a pressed powder exactly like this, but the Mac one is way more accessible. I would use either one, they're both great!

The claims: "A silky, colourless finishing powder suitable for all skin tones. Reduces shine while optically minimizing the look of lines & imperfections. Wear over makeup or on its own. Now in a pressed compact for ease & portability."
I purchased this only because there's a limited range of products available where I live.
It works well enough - the translucency allows for it to be worn all year without having to purchase two shades of powder. It does not leave a white cast. It sets my foundation. I'm not sure how it wears, because I don't notice anything exceptional about it. There is absolutely no shimmer of glitter particles in this, which is great. It gives me a shine free finish without being matte, which looks very natural.
The packaging is nice, with a good sized mirror in the compact. The compact is glossy, and has iridescent glitters on the packaging (but not the product). It opens with the press of a button, which is great because it won't ruin painted nails.
I bought this in the pressed form for convenience, but I may look into purchasing the loose form next time to be able to pick up more product to set my under eyes.
-Translucent, completely colorless. Matches me year-round
-Sleek, lightweight, attractive packaging
-Opening mechanism
-This is nothing exceptional
I have already hit pan on this, and I like it well enough. Because this is nothing special, I will try to find a drugstore equivalent of a translucent powder (that doesn't have glitter, because that's the main problem). If I can't find a dupe, I'll repurchase this one.
If you're looking for just a standard colorless setting powder and can't find a less pricey one, you can try this.

Kitchen Recessed Lighting Placement
I've been reading this form for a while and quite often can find an answer to my question first, and I've done a lot of reading before trying to post anything... but I think it's time I ask for some specific help. My main question relates to placing recessed lighting and potential issues regarding where my ceiling joists are but I'll go into my kitchen layout first.
Attached is my kitchen - A galley kitchen with doorways on both end, 8ft ceilings. Previously the kitchen was lit with a single three-bulb fixture in the center of the room and a crummy florescent light above the sink - all of which have now been removed and will be replaced with recessed (Marked by 'R' are potential spots). Right now the center hole remains but I can patch it if there's no use for the lights there. A few key notes regarding the drawing: In the northeast corner is a 15" wall cabinet at 24" deep, and there's a 21" wall cabinet between that and the sink window. Above the refrigerator is a 24" deep cabinet. All other wall cabinets are 12" deep.
I have already replaced the sink light with two 4" pots on a dimmer. They're probably a bit close to the wall but I had a stud in the way and had to choose between going closer than I wanted to or going further away - I chose to go closer. I'm not sure which decision would've been best but it's done and not up for discussion any ways :)
Additionally I will be placing under cabinet xenon lights on a dimmer under all wall cabinets.
I was planning on going with 5" pots but got the 6" lights for dirt cheap as part of a packaged promotion - a fraction of what 5" cans would've cost - so I plan on using 6" cans (65W BR30 incandescence probably) for the main overhead lights instead. These will too be on a dimmer. A lot of sites/people seem to recommend placing the lights 24" centered from the wall and centering them with the upper cabinets - to make sure the uppers get good lighting and that you're not in your shadows when working on the countertops (if there's under-cabinet lighting does this matter?).
My issue with trying to do this is that there's a joist running parallel at 26.75" from the sink-side wall. This means my 6" can will either be centered at 21.75" or 32" away from the wall, and I'm not sure which would be more preferred. On the stove-side wall the joist are at 13.25" and 29.25" so I don't have the same joist issue.
Additionally, considering we have 24" deep cabinets in two locations (pantry and fridge), I'm not sure how to make sure these cabinets get enough light with the displayed placement or how to do it symmetrically (if symmetry matters).
So here are the questions: Considering my options regarding the locations of my ceiling joists, where do you recommend I place my sink-side cans? OR Is there a configuration that would be better that I'm not considering? I know there's not a 'right' answer, but I'm hoping that people have found themselves in a similar situation dealing with ceiling joists and can share what worked for them, or have a similar experience that says I should consider something completely different.
If you use Cree LR6 instead of the BR30, 32" would be fine.
1st thing to do is to figure out the total cabinet depth.
Cabinets are usually ~ 13 - 15" deep (including the doors, trim). If there is crown molding, it could add up to ~ 3".
Then you need to consider the external dimensions of the trim ring - add ~ 1".
The placement of the cans will also be affected by the available space in the ceiling.
Symmetry would be nice, but practical considerations come first.
Undercabinet lighting could be used to augment the main overhead lighting. However, it would be prudent to consider the main lighting on its own since there could be situations when one or the other light source (UC or overhead) will be used alone.
The number of sink-side cans could be reduced to 1. Or you could consider using alternatives such as pendants or track lighting.
Thanks for the input!
Molding is 2.5" and assume cabinets should be 13-13.5". Assume 13.5" that gives a total depth of 15". The distances from the wall that I gave earlier regarding the lights' placement were on-center; so the options are placing the edge of the trim either 2.75" or 13" from the edge of the crown molding. Anyone have preference or have ran into similar situations?
I've thought about allowing the UC lighting to compliment the overhead lighting and instead placing three 6" cans centering the hallway... while this would gain symmetry it would mean I'll be working in my shadows unless the UC is also turned on. While it's still better than what was there, I've debated on whether its the best option. I've also thought about placing two rows of three symmetrically down the galley but to do this the two rows would be closer to the center and 2-3' apart tops. Six 6" cans may be overwhelming in this area too? Perhaps others have thoughts on these ideas?
You mentioned Cree LR6. LED's have come a long way. However these lights are cost prohibited for this project so I will opt for halogen or incandescent - at at least for the immediate future.
I originally had considered track lighting, and may not completely closed minded to the idea, but would prefer to see a solution with recessed - or at least hear how track lighting provides a better solution.
I prefer having the light ~ 1 ft from the edge of the crown molding.
Assuming ~ 600 - 650 lumens per can, 6 cans should provide ~ 3600+ lumens.
With an assumption of 35 lumens per sq ft, the space needs ~ 1971 lumens. Total floor area ~ 56.33 sq ft.
According to the calculation ~ 3 - 4 cans.
If the LR6 is cost prohibitive, the CR6 is available for ~ 50.
The immediate cost of a recessed can light is really
1. Cost of the recessed housing. Could exceed $20 per can.
2. Cost of the lamp/ bulb.
3. Cost of the trim ring.
4. Installation costs ( ball park ~ 100 per can).
Other considerations
1. Energy efficiency laws such as title 24.
2. Feasibility of installation - eg perhaps the space above the ceiling is too shallow or there are too many structural beams in the "wrong" place?
3. Future cost of servicing the recessed can is worth it. For example, CFL cans with an integrated ballast could be difficult to service when the ballast fails.
4. Impact on your energy bills based on the choice of lamps, can housing, quality of installation.
Thanks David! Thanks for the calculations. Your comments have been helpful and I think they're ruling out some ideas while giving me others I haven't considered yet.
Question - when you say you like to install 1' from the crown, is that 1' to the edge of the trim or 1' to the center of the light?
For what it's worth to address the other portions of your post, in my case I am the installer so costs are materials which I largely already have on-hand. As I mentioned I got the cans (and trim) practically free in conjunction with another purchase as a promo. This was a project I was originally going to defer due to budgeting if it wasn't for the promo (hence why LR6 is cost prohibitive). I'm not in California, and above the kitchen is attic space, so there's no structural/spacial issues other than me having no desire to re-frame ceiling joists at this time. The can's don't have an integrated ballasts for reasons you mentioned.... and for energy cost.... since dimmer is important to me LED/CFL are mostly cost prohibitive at the time being though I hope to evaluate them when it comes time to replacing the bulbs.
Edge of the hole for the can.
If your attic is heavily insulated, the cans need to be rated for direct insulation contact.
CFLs dim in steps and incandescent dimmers will not work.
The problem for LEDs & incandescent dimmers is that each lamp consumes ~ 10 - 11 watts and a number of incandescent dimmers have a min load requirement of 40 + watts.
So unless you have an array of lights, dimming will not work out too well (flicker, narrow dimming range). Examples of such dimmers include Leviton Vizia, Vizia RF, Monet, GE Z-wave incandescent dimmers, ...
Don't want to hijack Marc's thread. But have a question about your post above. I will be posting my plan hopefully later today and was thinking of using Halo Air tight cans with LR6 bulbs. I figure the Halo is the better option if at the end of this project I do not have the budget for the LED so I can use anything. Your post above gives me pause on the dimmer situation since I will want all my cans on dimmers. So are you saying that there is a min number of cans that must be on a dimmer? or is this only for regular dimmers and not the newer Lutron Diva, Skylark, Lumea, or Ariadni CFL/LED dimmers with the adjustment wheel?

It depends on each dimmer. Cree hasn't tested all the dimmers out there.
I got this from Cree
Dimmers have a characteristic known as "minimum holding current", which is the minimum amount of electrical current require to keep the dimmer firing properly. Incandescent(65W) bulbs draw current well above this level... We strongly suggest you should only select dimmers from our online list ...
On other sites, others have used different dimmers successfully. With the exception of Skylark, none of the dimmers you listed are on the list.
Btw, polar-ray is having a 4th of July sale...
The lutron site has more details than Cree.
However, it probably is not exhaustive.
I suspect that the minimum current required to keep the dimmer working is sufficiently low for others who have successfully used unlisted electronic low voltage dimmers.
