Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 24 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Annatee Mum or dad ! Must have ! Baby carrier that is so simple to use makes shopping easier by leaving my hands free to push the shopping trolley . Baby is 4month old and seems very content in his carrier .We have a dog this carrier now makes our dog walks a family affair ,baby is cosy and enjoying seeing the world outside his pram. Good quality purchase think we will make lots of use of this buy. 26 September 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Freddiesno1 Great value This product is great, although a bit tricky to put on the first time, especially by yourself and your little one is a wriggle! 30 December 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 Really Nice Unlike other products that has just one position of carrying the baby,this product has 2 additional position that means the baby can be carried in more than one form ,we enjoy alternating between my wife and i in carrying the baby and can choose which ever way we want to carry him 02 November 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Koitochordo Good value I was looking for baby carrier for some time but didnt want to buy very expensive as we only have to use for short time so i would say very good quality for money and i recieve it quite quickly so fast delivery service as well. Over all good purchase 30 October 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Precious20 Quite Good Read previous reviews on this product and decided to give it a go. The only let down was the instruction booklet-quite complicated to follow as there are quite alot of straps to contend with on your own and worst of all the pictures to illustrate each step arent very clear!!! Some of the stitching has come away on a strap but not bad enough to return. Figured out how to assmble the product myself. Once constructed, not too bad to work with and my little girl seemed to enjoy watching the world go by-good for this purpose. 22 August 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MummyS Great value Really comfortable to wear, had more expensive version for first baby, but this was much cheaper (£15 in baby event sale) and is really comfortable, easy to get baby in and out. Using for new born when doing school run, much easier than getting pram in and out of car! 15 May 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amabel My best yet It is of very good quality and the sling has bas back support which makes carrying your baby very comfortable 19 January 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jhae value for money Good item for its price, just a little difficult to set up. You may need help to do it. 06 February 2012

The Kydex holsters are better for Glocks as they stay rigid longer. The Serpa has a very dangerous flaw in that MANY ND's have resulted from a fast, stressed draw causing the inward pressure of the trigger finger to transition from the holster's release to the trigger.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.

Am I just seeing it wrong or shouldn't that pic of the Glock in the holster be reversed?
The pic shows a man sitting in the passenger's seat and a hole in the right side of his pants and the seat. The pic of the holster looks to be a left hand model. That's not to say that the Glock in the pic wouldn't go off due to that holster, just that to me the pics don't work out together.

I think you are correct in your thoughts. A Rat in the Wood Pile after looking closely at the picture of the holster. Dillinger you are correct this company always puts the labeling on the body side of their holsters as far as I know. My own thoughts are of a couple. #1. This picture was staged to cover up the fact the trigger finger entered the trigger guard area and Wallah! The Pistol went BANG!
Or could it be it is an inside the pants holster being worn incorrectly with the belt on the outside of the holster? Even then, it is on the opposite side to have the seat belt buckle depress the leather as shown?????? In this case the buckle would have been on the opposite side unless I am confused! Something just isn't right! Could it be a face saving issue? That is my thought!
Here are a couple more pictures. It may be the guy is left handed and carrying cross draw. I am right handed and carry cross draw most of the time. I find I can not draw my pistol very well in the car when it is on the strong side. That is a left hand holster.

Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.

Department of Energy:
Achieving Small Business Prime Contracting Goals Involves Both Potential Benefits and Risks
GAO-04-738T: Published: May 18, 2004. Publicly Released: May 18, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Under the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997, the federal government has a goal of awarding at least 23 percent of prime, or direct, contracting dollars to small businesses each fiscal year. The Department of Energy (DOE), like other federal agencies, shares in the responsibility for meeting this goal. In fiscal year 2003, DOE spent $21.6 billion on prime contracts. More than 80 percent of this amount was spent on facility management contracts to manage and operate DOE's sites. Before 1999, DOE included subcontracts awarded by its facility management contractors when calculating its small business prime contracting achievements. In 1999, however, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy determined that DOE could no longer do so. This testimony discusses (1) the effect of the 1999 policy change on the amount of prime contract dollars that DOE will be required to direct to small businesses, (2) the steps that DOE has taken or plans to take to achieve its small business contracting goals, and (3) the likely implications for DOE's programs resulting from these changes.
To meet its share of federal goals, DOE would need to direct significantly more prime contracting dollars to small businesses. If it is to reach its near-term goals of 5.06 percent in fiscal year 2004, and 5.50 percent in fiscal year 2005, DOE must direct to small businesses an additional $226 million and $319 million, respectively, over the $847 million it directed to small businesses in fiscal year 2003. Achieving a long-term goal of directing 23 percent of prime contracting dollars to small businesses would require DOE to contract with small businesses at about 6 times its current rate. Such an increase is about equal to the combined annual budgets for Los Alamos and Sandia--the two largest national laboratories. To address its near-term small business prime contracting goals, DOE has improved its outreach efforts and has redirected to small businesses some contract dollars not associated with facility management contracts. DOE has also begun to review facility management contracts up for renewal to identify work that could be redirected to small business prime contracts. Achieving a long-term goal of 23 percent is much more problematic. Notably, DOE's three largest offices--the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Environmental Management (EM), and Science--have differing views as to what extent facility management contract work can be redirected to small businesses without having a negative impact on accomplishing their missions. EM is in favor of doing so if redirecting the work is consistent with its accelerated cleanup strategy. NNSA and Science officials express concern that redirecting work now done by facility management contractors could jeopardize critical research missions at the laboratories. DOE's efforts to increase small business prime contracting involve both potential benefits and risks, which depend on the eventual goal DOE attempts to achieve. The potential benefits to DOE of increased small business prime contracting include increasing the pool of potential contractors, which could result in better competition and better prices for the government; finding new and innovative approaches to the work developed by small businesses; and providing experiences to small businesses to allow them to better compete for other federal contracts. The potential risks include integrating and coordinating the work of a greater number of contractors at a site in a safe, secure, and effective manner, and having adequate federal resources for effective contract management and oversight--areas that already pose significant challenges for DOE. In addition, DOE's efforts to increase small business prime contracting may cause its facility management contractors to reduce the amount of subcontracting that they direct to local and regional small businesses. DOE largely agreed with the information in this testimony. However, it disagreed with GAO's characterization of DOE's long-term small business prime contracting goal and its strategy to achieve it. GAO believes that both the longterm goal and DOE's strategy have been accurately described.

Yet another yellow leaves question please with pics
This is my Livin Easy rose I've had planted now for a couple of years. The rose did great this spring with loads of new leaves and now has loads of buds, but...
now the leaves are yellowing and falling off! It seems to be centered in the "interior" regions of the bush from bottom to mid range.
The rose is on the northern side of my house but gets plenty of sun all day from about 10 am till about 6 or 7 pm.
I did fertilize it this spring with about 2 tbsp. of soil acidifier, a cup of bloodmeal, and a cup of muriate of potash (would have rather had potassium sulfate but couldn't find any). I did have a soil test done last year that indicated the need for potash.
Last week I did spray with just Bayer Disease control (not the 3 in 1 or 2 in 1).
It has been hot here with temps in the mid 80's so I have been keeping it watered via hose, but maybe not enough?
I am clueless as to why a perfectly healthy looking rose would start doing this.
Often roses pull the plug on unproductive interior leaves that don't get sunlight. Also you may have leaves that overwintered or came out too early and got slightly damaged by cold. These normally die around mid-spring. These cruddy old leaves often get fungal spots because the plant is not trying to protect them.
A second thought, if they are all stemming from a single cane, there is something wrong with the cane.
Thanks michealg! We did have a couple of days of a freeze warning a couple weeks ago. I never thought of that. Hmmm.. could be freeze damage.
I will look closer at the canes tomorrow when I am off too and see if there is any cane problem but I think it may be freeze damage.
Well, I took a closer look as best I could at my rose and didn't see any damaged canes, and I also noticed as I walked around the garden that all my roses seem to be doing this to some degree. Now, I don't have but 5 roses (small yard) but all of them are, and nothing else, no other perennials, annuals etc. In my other garden bed where the rest of the roses are, they are doing this with just a few leaves here and there. It doesn't seem to be concentrated near the bottom or top but throughout the interiors of the bushes.
I've got William Baffin, Westerland, Livin Easy, Pretty Jessica, and a mini rose Sleeping Beauty.
Hi Kentstar,
Just wondering how your Livin Easy is doing in Ohio?
I yanked the LE I had out as it was not disease resistant at all here... Leaves all fell off... :(
I yanked out Outta The Blue also for same reason...
Since we are probably only 5-6 hrs away from each other I was just sitting here wondering..lol
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but I've had this same problem with Livin Easy. It did beautifully the first few years I had it, but the last three years has gotten inexplicably yellow leaves that don't match any disease or nutrient deficiency I can find. Still flowers like crazy though, just the bush as a whole looks a little ugly.

lump line at seam in carpet due to pile??
We had carpet installed last August that is a low pile loop style. After installation there was a slight lump along where they seamed it (couldn't really see seam, just the lump). They said it would lay flat after we lived on it for a while. It never did and they came out a month ago to re-stretch the lump line but that made it worse (they used low tape and worked on it for 3 hours but it didn't help and actually made the lump more pronounced). They ordered new carpet but when the crew came to install yesterday he said I would have the same lump problem because of the low pile and loop of carpet. Is this correct? It's hard to imagine you can't seam this type of carpet without a lump. I can understand seeing a slight seam line but why the lump? I do not want a higher pile or cut pile carpet. My room is 15 x 21 and this carpet only comes in 12' roles.
I've had the same low pile and loop put in twice due to flood. First time carpet was installed all the seams were invisible. After flood the exact same type of carpet was installed by different installers and you could see every seem and tape line underneath. They went away a bit within the year after install, but you could still plainly see them.

Building a Next-Generation Residential Gateway
Before embedded Linux became the de facto standard for networking devices, building a residential gateway (RG) or similar appliance used to be an expensive and nontrivial task. Real-time operating systems (RTOSes) used on these kinds of devices, such as VxWorks or pSOS, are relatively expensive and lack many features needed for an RG, which has to be purchased separately. VxWorks 5.5, for example, comes with a TCP/IP stack that has performance problems and does not even implement an L2 bridge, not to mention a firewall. This situation created a business opportunity for a number of companies, such as Ashley Laurent and Jungo, who sell RG software stacks for various OSes. The advent of embedded Linux distributions, such as uClinux, reduced the process of building an RG to choosing the right hardware, writing the drivers for peripherals and adding some kind of Web-based configuration utility. Embedded Linux reduced the development and cost of RG devices not only by providing many important features that either were missing or expensive in RTOSes, but also by easing the integration and debugging of drivers and applications, thanks to the clear POSIX driver model and kernel/user-mode separation.
However, Linux dominance in the embedded networking market is now challenged by new technologies. In the past, RG devices with ADSL, DOCSIS and 802.11 peripherals rarely were required to pass throughput beyond 10Mbps. New technologies, such as 802.11n and PON, make 100Mbps throughput a reality, challenging embedded engineers with the task of creating RGs capable of handling much higher traffic on the same or at least similarly priced hardware.
Before designing your own residential gateway, it may be worth taking a closer look at one of these devices.
If you decide to take a look inside your 802.11 access point or ADSL gateway, which probably will void your warranty, you will find an embedded board with a CPU (probably some MIPS variant), Ethernet switch, ADSL/DOCSIS and 802.11 chips, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Some (or even all) of the above can be integrated into one piece of silicon to form a System-on-Chip (SoC). On the other hand, you also may find the same stock mini-PCI (mPCI) 802.11 card connected to an embedded board as the one you will find in your laptop.
Chances are, your home gateway runs Linux. If you'd like to know for sure or maybe hack a bit on it, you have to solder the UART connector, which is relatively easy (most boards come with UART enabled, but without a connector). The software stack usually includes some version of Linux (2.4.x kernels are still pretty common in the embedded world), the usual user-space utilities and libraries, peripheral drivers and a configuration utility—either command-line interface (CLI), Web or both, as shown in Figure 2.
Now that you have a general picture of what makes a residential gateway, and assuming you have working hardware (more details on hardware later in this article), let's see what pieces of software you'll need. At the bare minimum, you need kernel sources, some variant of the libc library, basic user-mode utilities (at least a shell) and a cross-compiler toolchain to build them all. In short, you need an embedded Linux distribution. uClinux is a good choice, as it supports a wide range of CPUs (not necessarily CPUs without MMU, as the name might imply), comes with many useful user-mode utilities and has an easy-to-use kernel-style configuration system for all the packages. As always, the choice is not limited only to one distribution. There are a variety of free and commercial Linux distributions from which to choose.
Assuming your board (not just the CPU) is supported by uClinux, the process of building a working image boils down to downloading the distribution itself and the cross-compiler toolchain for your CPU and then simply following the build instructions. If your board is not supported by uClinux, chances are the board manufacturer will provide a board support package (BSP)—that is, adapt uClinux (or some other Linux version) to that hardware. If this is not the case, you have to write the BSP yourself, which is beyond the scope of this article.
The major components of the uClinux distribution are, of course, the kernel itself, the uClibc library and BusyBox. The uClinux kernel has support for MMU-less CPUs, but this feature is of minor importance nowadays. Because the cost of adding the MMU is so small, I expect that most, if not all, embedded CPUs used on an RG will have it. Nevertheless, uClinux is a great distribution, even if you don't exploit the MMU-less CPU support. The same goes for uClibc. It originally was created to support MMU-less systems, which, for instance, cannot have a fork(2) system call. But, even if you don't need this functionality, it is a great alternative for glibc on embedded systems, as glibc has much larger RAM requirements. BusyBox is a collection of standard UNIX utilities, optimized for embedded systems with low RAM. It comes with uClinux, and as with uClibc, you usually will prefer it over full-featured standard utilities, unless you have a system with enough RAM (typically above 16MB).
You need two important pieces of software that are not a part of uClinux. The first piece is a bootloader, which is software that usually resides in ROM (at least partially) and is responsible for loading the Linux image from Flash to RAM and performing some hardware initializations. Unfortunately, there is no standard bootloader for uClinux. In fact, there are no standards for bootloaders in the embedded world, and you cannot use PC bootloaders, such as GRUB or LILO. Your hardware manufacturer almost certainly will provide a bootloader, and I strongly suggest using it. If it does not support Linux, it usually is easier to adopt it than to port a different bootloader to your hardware. If you still choose to port the bootloader, Das U-Boot is a good choice, as are many others.
The second missing piece is a Web-based graphical user interface (GUI), which most users come to expect from RGs. Most, if not all, currently available RGs have a Web interface written from scratch. However, it does not have to be like this anymore with the introduction of the X-Wrt Project, one of the components of the OpenWrt Project, which you almost certainly will want to look at if you are building an RG. OpenWrt is a Linux distribution for the Linksys WRT routers (and not only those).
Add to this a bit of init script writing, and you are done, except for the peripheral (802.11, ADSL and so on) drivers, which is a topic for a another article.

Oil Prices Up 10%
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil soared the by the largest single day amount in more than three years in Friday's New York trading.
West Texas Intermediate crude priced at Oklahoma's Cushing hub closed the week up nearly ten percent at $84.96 a barrel.
Gas producers like Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy got some good news as natural gas rose by nearly 4 percent, to finish the week at $2.82 per thousand cubic feet. Chesapeake's stock price has been battered in the past year by the nationwide gas glut and questions about corporate governance.

Comments about Royal Canin Maxi Large Breed Adult Dog Food:
My dog has been eating Royal Canin food since she was a baby. She is very healthy, never turns her nose up, and has a great coat, clear skin, shiny eyes, etc. So many other dog friends struggle with digestive and/or allergy issues with others foods, but Gracie has demonstrated great success with Royal Canin. Very satisfied with this brand.

Vivica A. Fox couldn't be missed at the Shamballa Jewels Annual Couture LV Cocktail Party in Vegas in a $1,475 Ashish Coca Cola Sequin Top and $927 Jimmy Choo Freya Red Suede Sandals:
Her short-sleeve sequin top features leopard spots, zebra stripes, and the classic Coca-Cola logo all juxtaposed against one another.
Her red suede sandals feature a peep-toe silhouette, low platforms, covered vamps, crystal embellished ankle straps, rear zip fastenings, and covered 5.5″ stiletto heels.
It's a lot of look, but I actually like it.
If you're up for the splurge, get Vivica's top here and shoes here.
Images: Getty
Vivica looks amazing. I think that outfit is a little expensive. My girlfriend really pulled that off. This is how you do it .
Ms.Fox looks good. Wow she gets more stunning every time I see her. I heard she's doing Celebrity Apprentice. I can only imagine how dripping in diamonds and Couture she will be. Those Jimmy Choo are everything. That Coca-Cola top is fire, It reminds me of Andy Warhol. I've always liked her with her hair back and loose. She has always been a great actress and on the cutting edge of style.
Vivica is looking good as always.
These sound like paid comments……… She looks OK
Huh? Are ya'll serious? She looks a mess. Dressed like she 22
My guess is that it's Aunt V and her surgeon posting these comments.
So because she is older she should dress like an elderly women lol too funny! Anyway aunt Viv looks beautiful and I think the outfit is nice.
Lol @ Starlynn's comment. #publicist
For a 50 year old woman she looks damn good. This outfit isn't revealing or short. It's just fun and there's nothing wrong with that every now and then.
What is young about a sequin t-shirt and thousand dollar shoes. It's not as if coke is a young brand since they were founded in 1886. Anyway I think aunt Viv looks cute.
Fashion/style is certainly subjective is it not? Bey's outfits get raked over the coals routinely (even when it's clear an outfit is nice on her and not all of them are BTW). However, This outfit on Vivica is stunning/amazing? Huh?
I do agree Viv looks great for a woman of a certain age, but the outfit looks cute at best. Words like "stunning/amazing" are a bit much for this particular look. However, I do love the Jimmy Choos.
You pulled it…LMBO!! @Starlynn
It is a lot of glam and glitz, but the look somehow works on Vivica.I like it, I deem this look "Jazzy Casual".
Dead wrong post and y'all know it
she looks really cute I wish the hair was down and flowing but she looks nice
Pls stop with she looks great lies
She looks like me and you on a reg day
Expensive shoes/clothes don't equal looks amazing
Cute look I'd rock it. I aint trippin
"Jazzy casual" lmao y'all need to Stop! Could this look be better? Yes, but for Viv I think it's cute on her
The look is cute and fun I love the shoes .. I would wear this out to the movies or a girls night .. There, I said it
She looks fab thats how i want to look when iam 50 #youareasoldasyoufeel#
I love that Coke Tee!! The shoes are not my cup of tea, but then again I hate Jimmy Choo anyway! And yes for a 50 year old she looks fine. I mean I have no clue how I will look at that age! But to keep this in mind as an example will work for me!!!
Perhaps I'm crazy, but I do not like the outfit at all. The shirt is too glitzy for my taste, but Vivica looks cute. I agree she looks great for her age and just in general. I'm just not a fan of the outfit.
A little country/tacky for me, but Aunt Viv pulls it off..her skin and makeup look great and her figure is looking nice and svelte.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this site.
I really hope to view the same high-grade blog posts
from you in the future as well. In fact, your creative
writing abilities has motivated me to get my very own site now ;)

Gameday: Red Sox (45-32) vs. Phillies (49-30)
Posted by Pat Gallen, Tue, June 28, 2011 06:06 PM | Comments: 19
2011 Gameday, Analysis, News, Opinion, Posts
Boston Red Sox (45-32) at Philadelphia Phillies (49-30)
Josh Beckett (6-2, 1.86 ERA) vs. Cliff Lee (8-5, 2.87 ERA)
Time: 7:05 pm, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Partly Cloudy/Chc of Storms, 83
TV: PHL 17/MLB Network
Media: Twitter and Facebook
Ruben Amaro Jr. spoke today and said that there is no timetable on Ryan Madson just yet, and that Monday was not a certainty. Madson is eligible to come off the DL on July 4. Amaro added that they would "pitch him when he's ready."
Amaro also talked about Roy Oswalt and said there is a chance he could return to the Phillies before August. While they have no concrete timetable on Oswalt, sometime in mid-August has been tossed around as a date.
When it came to talk of adding a bat, Amaro continued to reiterate that if their pitchers get healthy (Contreras, Lidge, Oswalt, Blanton, and now Madson) that they'll be OK. He said he values pitching over adding a bat.
This one has all the makings of a fantastic matchup. And although the Phillies won't admit it, this will be a proving ground for championship aspirations. Not only will one of the hottest pitchers in the American League be on the mound for Boston, but they come with a run and gun offense led by David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, and Adrian Gonzalez.
The Phillies have the best record in baseball, but they have not seen a team of this caliber yet.
To combat that, the Phillies will send their hottest pitcher out there tonight, Cliff Lee. Lee has a sparking 0.27 ERA this month, putting to bed any negative thoughts anyone had about Lee after a shaky opening 6-8 weeks of the season. But just having Lee out there won't be enough. This mediocre offense will have to find a way to score a few runs against Beckett.
The 31-year old Beckett has reinvented himself this season after a rash of injuries in previous seasons. His last start was a complete game shutout over the Rays on June 15; he has missed two starts due to a nasty bout with the flu. But make no mistake, Beckett will bring his A-game tonight. Only one time this season has Beckett given up more than three earned runs in a start, so if you hate low-scoring games. If a pitchers duel is your cup of team, you've come to the right place.
Phillies Lineup:
Rollins SS, Polanco 3B, Utley 2B, Howard 1B, Victorino CF, Ibanez LF, Brown RF, Ruiz C, Halladay P
GAMEDAY BEER: Sam Adams East-West Kolsch
I can't help myself, I absolutely love Sam Adams. It's a boston-brewed beer that has evolved 10-fold (it seems) over the past decade, bringing out a new assortment of beers every so often to add to their stellar collection. Tonight, we drink East-West Kolsch from Sammy. Had this last weekend and it's incredibly tasty, and not overbearing. It's slightly fruity with light biscuit notes and lemon citrus that come from the hops. At just over 5% ABV, you won't be inundated with alcohol and will have a smooth journey to the bottom of the glass. Have this with schnitzel. -by Pat
Go Phillies!

Oh stop with the sox. they s u c k. ortiz is a fat pig. gonzo has never played a big game in his life. there pitching is average. if the phillies hit we will win. BIG IF.
As far as ruin tomorrow jr. all they know how to do is lie about injuries. its not the nfl baby.

this is the dude Jeff that wants to be taken seriously at times, right?
as for Ruben Amaro Jr… I'm glad that he was ahead of curve in Major League Baseball and stacked our team with pitching.. to the point where Roy Oswalt going on the DL isn't all that big a deal because our 4th best starting pitcher… god i love Ruben

Vote: Cabinets Next to Window Facings?
We are taking out the kitchen window looking out onto the glassed in porch / entry and just making an opening (no glass)
I am having the sink moved to under this opening and will have one wall cabinet on the left side and a corner wall cabinet on the right.
I don't know which way I want the opening finished....Please Help by Voting:
1.) Cabinets butted up to 2" window casings
2.) Cabinets next to window with no window casings
3.) Cabinets at least 2" from window casings
4.) Cabinets at least 2" from window no window casings
Edited and changed facing to casing...thanks
The opening as it is now in front of the sink will be flush with the new counter top...

1.) Leave counter top and window opening the same and continue granite out to make a flat window sill of sorts.
2.) Build up at least 2 to 4" behind the sink and then add a granite sill or wood.
With both I will have a living plant or two on the sill.
I have asked this in another post but felt I wasn't making myself clear...I hope I have this time and looking forward to your vote..Also please give me any suggestions you may have.
thanks so much...

Since it is not a real window but just an opening I think I would opt for no casing/trim around the opening. I would also leave 2 inches from the cabinets to the opening. I think it would look crowded if you have the cabinets right up to the opening (or to the casing,if you chose to have casing)
I also vote to have the opening flush and continue the granite out to make the sill level with the countertop.
If you're referring to window casing, I would vote for the 2" away. Don't crowd it, let the opening frame itself and breathe. On the splash behind the sink, it depends on what is outside that window. I'm thinking the 4" plus wood or granite sill would look better if in a highly visible area from the other side... I usually keep a plant or flowers on my sill behind the sink
Yes I was referring to window "casing" instead of facing..I have Edited and Corrected my wording....thanks
I just don't know whether to use facing or not...afraid if I do, I may not have 2 more inches to play with so if I use the casing..cabinets may have to butt up to them....if I don't then I have the 2" away from cabinets...will have to see what he says on Monday.
The opening looks out onto an enclosed porch with windows all around ...almost ceiling to floor....it is also the front entry to our home. We have some wicker furniture out there but because of no room elsewhere we also have our treadmill and elliptical on one side of the room and that is what we will be looking at unless I can talk hubby into moving it on another wall. He loves it there because this room goes directly into the family room thru an open double door and the treadmill is facing that way.... so he can exercise and look at the TV at the same time...And because of his health conditions he needs the exercise for sure.
House was built in the 50's typical one story ..no open concept at all. The house was custom designed and built by a local builder at that time, so he had everything custom done...even to having cabinets built on site or at least built into the house...They were a Bear to get out! The cabinets had shelves on the upper edge around both windows and those were built into the casing of the windows.
The casings around windows and doors were also custom made...Very simple but wide with a small round piece at the edge to finish them off. I have three windows at the end of the eating area in the kitchen that has that same window casing and trim...And I will not want to change that...and the new space around the opening does not allow for that wide of trim.
Right now the sill is 6" wide which could be extended out another inch or two..depending on cost of granite if I go that way.
Yes I do "generally" keep clean counter, sink area most of the time....but when I'm away visiting Grandbaby for a few days ..DH not so much..but hopefully new kitchen will inspire him to do better (lol)
Thanks for your suggestion...guess I'm still not making myself clear as to what I can do....Sorry....
I don't have 4" to spare from cabinet to window ...
I can only do either a 2" window trim and butt the cabinets up to that.....Or do No trim and have 2" of wall or breathing space from the cabinets.
I am thinking maybe since the other windows have 4" of window trim plus another 1/2 of small trim around them...it may be better since this is just a opening and not a window...to just finish it out with no trim and only put a sill in...
Does that sound like it would look OK?
They will be closing the window up on one side to make room for the cabinet on the right...once they get that closed then I will post a picture....I know a visual makes it so much easier to understand what I am asking.
I can't hang cabinets until they get the opening fixed where they removed a double window which was 60" wide with trim...so now it will be somewhere close to 36" wide...And if we add 4" and then put in the sill it will be around 40" high.
Hopefully once i get some pictures posted this will make more sense....thanks
I would do that in a heartbeat....but had to beg hubby to give up the 26" on the right side for a wall cabinet....and he will not budge to have the window made any smaller....so am pretty much stuck with what I have. I could make the left side farther away from trim but not right...and know it should be the same..so I probably will just finish out the opening with no trim.
But will post a picture as soon as they get the opening closed so it is understandable.
Can you bridge the two? There's not a need for much trim room in something like this (very generally), where they've made it an alcove. Not meaning to add the upper row of cabinets. You could have the whole area around the window in trim, with no wall space showing. I also like this very narrow piece they've used around the window. Doesn't have to be 2 inches.
Tell me why you feel trim will look better? Just trying to picture what you are thinking...
Do you think it will look OK to have it very small around the window and the 4" plus on the other 3 windows at the eating area?
I could do 2" trim and then leave the space of the drywall thickness which will probably be 1/2"
Basically because it's an older traditional home. Trimless would be more modern looking. In the wrong setting, it tends to look unfinished.
Not sure what you mean by leaving space of the drywall thickness.
I think it could look fine to have a narrower version of the window casings installed.
Without seeing anything it's hard to say ... maybe your idea would work too.
thanks for taking the time to help me...truly appreciate it...will get some pictures as soon as I can...
Yes the house is traditional in most aspects...other than the enclosed glass porch/ entry that the opening will look out to...that seems less traditional to me...
Here is an idea for not having trim around the opening
This isn't the way I will do it exactly ..I will not have the opening as high as this, will probably only go up 4" and then the window sill.... but it does show how it would look with corner bead...(Is this someones kitchen here on the forum?)
./DSC_0139.jpg.html" target="_blank">
On the left side there is only one 21" cabinet and then a open small snack bar and then a 36" open walk space...so on that side I don't think it will feel cramped.
But on the right there will be the corner cabinet and then go into the back of the U with stove and then another corner cabinet and then the wall with cabinets and the Ref. At the end of the U there is a space of around 5 ft in depth and 9ft in width and that has a small breakfast table in front of 3 windows....so even though the kitchen is small there is a lot of window light and light from both the den on one side which is the side we are opening up...and the DR on the other.
calyle7, the picture you posted is GWer KevinMP's kitchen. If you would like to see more photos of his kitchen, I have linked his reveal below.
You are certainly putting a lot of thought into the details of your kitchen. Good luck wih your decisions. I will be waiting for your reveal.

Maybelline New York Full 'N Soft Washable Mascara Reviews
Bad gal watch outI have been recommending this product for years and years. Maybelline often gets it right, especially in mascara (except for the cult-favorite Great Lash; I just don't get it), and this is the standout product for me. The full, fluffy brush gets your lashes plush and full (just as the name implies) but doesn't skimp on length and definition either. This rivals the new popular Benefit Bad gal mascara especially since it's less than half the price! — 5 years, 11 months agocherrypie | 196 reviews

NaturalIt's a very natural mascara. There is nothing "fake" looking about it. I bought it in brown and use it for natural day looks. It doesn't clump and looks nice. I prefer bolder mascaras, but if you are aiming for natural, but a little better, this is a great choice. — 2 months agoMsAtomicBomb | 180 reviews
Truly Full N SoftAs the name suggests, this mascara keeps your lashes looking full and soft, without that "clumpy" look that so many mascaras do today! The brush is tapered and the product lasts all day. The price point is great too. Buy this mascara with confidence! — 5 months, 3 weeks agomisstrix | 2 reviews

soft is the keyword!I had tried about 6 different mascaras before finding this one. Most felt really sticky/thick on my lashes. This one is incredibly soft! It feels closer to my real lashes than the others I've tried. I wish I could get a little more length from it, but it's worth it for the soft, natural look! — 6 months agokatekr | 6 reviews
Perfect!This really does make your lashes full and soft! There's no clumping, and it has stay power. I don't find myself needing to apply it more than once a day. I use the blackest shade and I love it. I recommend curling lashes a bit beforehand to really make the mascara pop. — 7 months agoalex_kelso_gregory | 1 reviews

Natural finish!It defines and volumizes without leaving clumps. The wand is easy to maneuver. It's light and non irritating. Maybelline makes great mascaras, and this is great for those of us, who are really sensitive to products. — 7 months, 3 weeks agoSunnybunny | 17 reviews

Meh...There is nothing wrong with this stuff. I like the brush, the formula doesn't seem to flake or bother my eyes. However, there is nothing really impressive about it either. Didn't do much for making lashes appear bolder in anyway.. — 1 year agokllshep80 | 7 reviews
Stays on, doesn't flakeI have tried so many waterproof mascaras that left a line of black underneath my eyes, so I decided to try a non-waterproof one that sounded like it might be a little more natural. Lo and behold, this left no black line, looks natural (all I needed was a little color), and also comes off easily when I want it to. Hallelujah! — 1 year agodjwb | 24 reviews

full n softLOVE this for everyday natural lashes. Defines and lengthens in a natural way. Doesn't have the same drama as other others i use (benefit they're real is my fav for dramatic lashes) but a great product at a great price.

really good!That was a review given to me by my bestfriend! had seen a review of this on Essalytee's Youtube channel as part of her MMM series. As a fellow Asian woman, I take her opinions to heart because of the cursed short and stubby Asian lashes trait that 97% of Asian women share. The performance of the mascara in the video was exactly what I was looking for. It gave a really natural lash look (more of ...read morea my lashes but better) and it has this uncanny ability to make your lashes look like they don't have mascara on, but that they are just naturally sort of beautiful. I was excited to try it out, and when I did, I was not disappointed. This is probably one of my favorite mascaras now. At first the name Full n' Soft can be deceiving, because you think, "Oh, soft, probably won't be able to hold my curl." I actually got that sort of vibe from the name for some reason. Nonetheless this is great for people with all lash types. — 1 year, 6 months agoevoula_kem | 8 reviews

transmission fluid check, if topping it to the correct level doesn't fix it, recommend a tranny fluid and filter changes package for you-
Are you sure because sometimes if I start it up and I switch to manual it didn't read then I turn off the car start it back up it'll be good but will eventually go back to just running second
is your transmission fluid brown? verrry suspicious.

Peony ID Help??!!
I have been gardening in the same place for 5-6 years now and several varieties of peonies were the first things I planted. Unfortunately the first markers I used faded so that several aren't marked at all. I listed every single one I found documentation on and have them sorted by supposed bloom time, type and color. I think I should be okay on the singles, Japanese and semi-doubles but I have 6 double pinks that I'm not sure if I can reliably ID. If anyone has these varieties and can give me any tips on telling which is which please reply! Dr W Rumph, George W Peyton, Moonstone, Mrs. F D Roosevelt, Reine Hortense and Walter Faxon. Thanks!
Please check out this peony database to see pictures and descriptions of your peonies:
It is really extensive.
