Grouted Herringbone, the deed is done
After backsplashing in to the wee hours of the night Friday I got my sink wall essentially done. I had a discuraging few hours and thought I'd made a mistake with the direction I took with the BS. Nothing I had thought I would use as decor was looking good to me. Mind you I was short on sleep for two days, and it was after midnight. Dianalo put me on the straight and narrow earlier today when I was complaining on another post. Moral of the story is don't trust your thinking when you're in a "panic", that is panic with a little 'p'.
I still have to seal the grout Monday, and caulk the periphery.
Have a look:
Last night after grouting, YIKES! or HOLY COW! I just don't know if this was a good idea!!!
no matter what I do...YIKES!
Starting to like it, but this cute fabric isn't working for me:
This is the original fabric I invisioned several months ago, but that was before I went herringbone. Last night I hated it, today I'm thinking the dark is right. I might have to find another dark. I love the colors in the pattern, they ended up being my colors - unknown to me at the time! There's even purple in there amongst the oranges, golds. and greens.
The grout formula I went with was going to be a 2parts "Natural"(dark gray) : 1part "Standard White". But, as is my style, at the last second I mixed it up as 3parts dark gray:1part white. I wanted to go for that stainless steel look in the color. My sample boards where starting to all look the same as the grout dried over the last several days. I was becoming comfortable with the grout. I asked opinions from the sales help at the tile store. They were no help as each of the 3 had 3 different preferences, and they were sticking with it.
Thanks for your help in selecting this grout with your comments on my other post.
Here is a link that might be useful: Samples of grouted herringbone backsplash, please give feedback
Blfenton, Pupwhipped, and Breezygirl thanks for the cheers and the suggestions.
Regarding the fabric, I knew that throwing that fabric into the vignette might shake things up. How about that plate not looking good with the patterned black fabric up in the window, yuck. But that plate is soooo cute. It is a melanine plate from Target. I like how the little black veining in his wings looks like herringbone.
This is what I was thinking regarding the fabric plans. Making a minimally padded cornice board that is the same shape as the wood valance and have it mounted to the wood casing and peek down about 1.5 or 2", mirroring the wood valance. I like the dark up there and I don't like looking at the square light painted wood at the top of the window. I was going to go looking on line for some fabrics. But that is going to have to wait now. I LOVE fabric.
Not crazy on the fabric choices yet either. What about a roman shade or a board with that type of structured draping. - sort of horizontal pleating. Something that will add a little more softness to the area rather than just your straight board. I don;t think I would follow the curve of your valance either as I don;t think you would get the full effect of the fabric.
I like the valance as is, but also appreciate the love of having fabrics around you.
It is stunning, and I love how you created your backsplash. It is very well done. I think a darker curtain would go well. What about a woven shade that is on the darker side?
That's my two cents. Again, well done, and now you can get some sleep in this hurricane madness.
Not only does the bs look fab-u-lous, but seeing it with the floor makes it work even more (if that is possible).
If you like purple, a dark jewel tone fabric would look lovely there. It would add a pop of color and you can get kitchen linens to coordinate. The plaid ones does not work because of the colors and the pattern. The black seems too dark and the pattern takes away from the bs.... Keep this simple and get a nice tone on tone dark purple fabric. I think a straight line across would highlight the curve of the valance. YMMV.
So glad you can appreciate now how nice it came out!
I love fabric also so can appreciate that. (I'm early in my fabric obsession.). Personally, I wouldn't do a curved valance. Leave the shape of the wood alone to highlight it. I like blfenton's roman shade idea. You still get to use a loved fabric, but it's subtle and let's the structure of the cabs shine. I guess I'm saying not to frou-frou it up too much. You've got great bones now, and they could get lost with too much "stuff."
The grout turned out perfect
And it's so much easier to change a fabric window treatment than a backsplash.
Your kitchen is gorgeous.
Beautiful!!! I'm so impressed with your backsplash skills -- maybe you've found your calling ; )
I agree with the others that a darker fabric would probably work best in your space, and you clearly have great taste so I'm sure you'll find the perfect one during your next trip to the fabric store! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Thanks for the complements about the marble tile installation and the grout color, it really is the color of my stainless steel.
Great ideas about color, shape, and style of any potential window treatment. As some say they would leave it alone, I'm listening. Today with the backsplash looking more at home in my vision, I'm thinking about what you all have stated. I've saved these comments to my clippings file.
I see why people adore marble. I am seeing the softness of the marble and would like to play that up a bit. Not froo froo, I'm not that. You are all great to take the time to look and give your thoughts about issues we work with.
Another thought I had about fabric was a lace of some sort or a fine shear panel that would be without fluff. Kind of like a delicate hankie panel in the creamy white of the tile assortment. Maybe tied in 2 places to hold it up like a roman shade. But the panel I'm thinking about would only be about 12" long unfurled. I'll be giving this window a lot of thought over the weeks ahead.
Sudden awareness has just hit! Window treatments are like the backsplashes, very thought consuming.
You did an amazing job and this grout color looks fantastic! It's almost silly how excited I am for you that it worked out so well :) I have to say, I was planning on a regular running bond pattern with cheapo white subway tile for my own backsplash, but seeing yours is making me consider herringbone.
I'm with many of the previous posters on fabric. I think simple shape, maybe roman shade style, and simple or no pattern would be best here. I can imagine a dark jewel tone looking good, but I think any print will take away from the backsplash. Good luck finding the perfect window treatment!
Glad jewel tone was mentioned again. Earlier dianalo, in response to my joy at having purple in the dark print, suggested a jewel toned purple. Now its brought up again. I have to give some thought as well to the option of no window treatment, as breezygirl and a few others suggested.
I have I have a Le Creuset utinsil crock in purple that I just bought and it's nice on my counter. The colors that I had been planning are, of course green, and then orange and purple revealed themselves as accents. A real tertiary color plan. Other colors are vying for time and are blue and teal and yellow. When I got married years ago I couldn't decide on wedding colors so I had them all, and let my Matron of Honor select what ever color and style dress she wanted (upon approval of course:).
You did such an amazing job! After all that stress about the grout color, you did find the perfect one.
I have to say I don't like any of those fabrics... how about a softer color close to the color you most want to pull out of the tile?
Good luck- so far your choices have been fantastic!
Kudos to you! The back splash looks great! Your grout works!
Step away from the lime green/red combo fabric (if you love, think about your master bath :). Think nature, stone, wood, earth, natural to match what you have going on in the cabs, granite, and backslash stone.
I love your BS with your beautiful cabs! Of course, I've always been partial to the herringbone pattern :) The grout looks great--I think you chose the perfect formula.
As far as a window treatment, I'd live with it for a month or two unless for privacy reasons you need to get something up there sooner. If you're like me, you'll find the perfect fabric for the window treatment when you're shopping for something completely unrelated. Of the suggestions offered, I like your handkerchief material idea. I think it would look very nice but not detract from that beautiful BS. Clean and simple might be the perfect solution.
hhheeeeee heeeee heeeeee
Yes. What would we all do without Marcolo's sound advice.
She knows how naughty I can be.
I just could not help myself. I'll put the fabrics down
and ever so quietly walk away. But please know I had a
fleeting smile on my face for a few minutes of fun.
I have just discovered GW and all of the generous lurkers and worriers and obessives who frequent this site. What a great site. The kitchens have been inspiring and wonderful. Something for everyone. Now, if I may, I would like to ask Enduring a question. Have I got it right about how you did your backsplash - you ordered tile in running bond format (2"x4") and changed your mind and created the herringbone instead? Does that mean that you had to take all of the individual tile off the "grid" and then set them separately? And cut what you needed to fill in the gaps? You seriously did a great job. Could you have gotten the same effect if you had purchased them in herringbone format in the first place? No offense intended, I am just trying to figure out your approach from what is out in the market place as I an not a DIY person. I love the effect you acheived. Great job. Big pats on the back.
Welcome Barbara1NC, it is great to have you join this supportive, fun, and informative forum.
Ya, I took them all apart. No it did not come in a herringbone at the store I was working with. Early in my search all the tiles I liked were at specilty shops and were $30=50/sqft. I was looking a veined silver travertine mosaic running bond, and larger tiles. I wanted to spend a lot less money, so I went the the big DIY tile shop in town. They had plenty to choice from. I looked for a tile that I liked and it took me 3 trials before I settled on this one, the running bond marble mosaic. I had always figured I would do a running bond. But I just love herringbone. So I gave it some thought from time to time over the months that I had the tile, waiting to get to the installation stage. I was warned off of doing it by friends and family because there would be so many cuts. I agreed and would just assume I was going to put the 12x12 mosaics up until the moment I went to pick it up to install it. I just decided that I was going to cut it up and put it up in a herringbone pattern.
I have done a lot of "making" in my life. I used to sew as a child and young adult. I have sculpted and fabricated all kinds of things in college in the art classes I took. I'll tackle anything if it's not too heavy to lift. So it was not a stretch to take the tile and redesign the layout.
Tonight I am doing the other wall and it is a bit larger than the tiled wall pictured above. It is still taking me about 2 hours/1sqft. Its very late because time has just gotten away from me.
I said this earlier but I have to say it again - my grout looks like the color of stainless steel. Isn't that cool?! I have stainless steel sink and faucet, etc in the kitchen and it just matches my grout! Then of course the marble tile is so beautiful. Even though this is not high end tile I think the mix of so many light whites and tans and grays is very nice. Marble is translucent, and very soft focused. Looking at this installation is like watching clouds in the sky.
I keep checking this thread to see how your backsplash project is progressing (it's looking fantastic!). I love your enterprising idea to keep costs down to achieve the herringbone look you love. It's beautiful, and with your patience and endurance, you've hit the jackpot here...staying tuned in

Quiet, Large, Clean! Old fashioned tub-shower faucets...my daughter had never seen it like that. Very pleasant staff!!
A fairly clean room. I think it is the cleanest in town in this price range. Staff is always friendly.
All they said they had was a smoking room. Smelly and dirty. The bathroom smelled of vomit and when you closed the door you could see the stains on the wall along with dirt. Carpet filthy. And the list goes on!
I would have to say location.
The bathtub had a permanent mat. Good I dea! But the edges looked like they had been caulked. The edges looked like there was mold in this area. I had trouble convincing myself to get in it for a shower. I would NEVER take a BATH in it!!! The mattress
Easy to check in & out.
Pool was out of order both days.
Great location just south of I-10. Rooms are comfortable and it's fairly quiet, except for the elephants above.

Fritillaria ussuriensis extract inhibits the production of inflammatory cytokine and MAPKs in mast cells.
ABSTRACT Fritillaria ussuriensis (FU, derived from the bulbs of various species of the genus Fritillaria, including Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.) is used in herbal medicine to treat conditions such as eczema, skin burns, and frostbite. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the anti-allergy effect of FU. FU extract (80 mg/kg), orally administered to Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, significantly inhibited the passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction. It inhibited the compound 48/80-induced release of histamine from rat peritoneal mast cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Significant inhibitory effects of the FU extract on IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α (1, 10, and 100 µg/mL) were observed in HMC-1 cells. Treatment with FU attenuated PMA plus A23187-induced phosphorylation of all three MAPKs, especially at concentrations of 10 and 100 µg/mL. Further, it (80 mg/kg) led to significant inhibition of mast-cell accumulation in ear tissue at the chronic phase. These results indicate that it inhibits allergic reactions.
Article: Identifying Core Herbal Treatments for Children with Asthma: Implication from a Chinese Herbal Medicine Database in Taiwan[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Asthma is one of the most common allergic respiratory diseases around the world and places great burden on medical payment. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is commonly used for Taiwanese children to control diseases. The aim of this study is to analyze the CHM prescriptions for asthmatic children by using a nationwide clinical database. The National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) was used to perform this study. Medical records from 1997 to 2009 with diagnosis with asthma made for children aged 6 to 18 were included into the analysis. Association rule mining and social network analysis were used to analyze the prevalence of single CHM and its combinations. Ma-Xing-Gan-Shi-Tang (MXGST) was the most commonly used herbal formula (HF) (20.2% of all prescriptions), followed by Xiao-Qing-Long-Tang (13.1%) and Xing-Su-San (12.8%). Zhe Bei Mu is the most frequently used single herb (SH) (14.6%), followed by Xing Ren (10.7%). MXGST was commonly used with Zhe Bei Mu (3.5%) and other single herbs capable of dispelling phlegm. Besides, MXGST was the core formula to relieve asthma. Further studies about efficacy and drug safety are needed for the CHM commonly used for asthma based on the result of this study.Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine 08/2013; 2013:125943.

Article: Prescription pattern of Chinese herbal products for adult-onset asthma in Taiwan: a population-based study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Throughout the world, asthma can be a life-threatening disease. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is commonly used among Taiwanese adults to control many diseases. To analyze the use of Chinese herbal products (CHPs) among adults with asthma in Taiwan. The use, frequency of service, and the type of CHP prescribed for asthma among adults with asthma were evaluated. The study group consisted of a randomly sampled cohort of 1,000,000 beneficiaries from the National Health Insurance Research Database. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for use of CHP. Overall, 20,627 asthma patients (85.7%) used TCM. Ding-chuan-tang (panting-stabilizing decoction) was the most frequently prescribed CHP, followed by xiao-qing-long-tang (minor green-blue dragon decoction) and ma-xing-gan-shi-tang (ephedra, apricot kernel, licorice, and gypsum decoction). The use of CHPs among adults with asthma appears high. Ding-chuan-tang containing ma-huang is the most commonly prescribed and consumed among adults with asthma.Annals of allergy, asthma & immunology: official publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology 03/2014; DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2014.02.012 · 2.75 Impact Factor

Publishers WeeklySteps carved from huge rocks, boulders used for the sides of buildings, windows precisely aligned to capture the first rays of the solstice sun, and other amazing features of Peru's Machu Picchu are captured in this collection of Torrey's detailed photographs. An architectural photographer, Torrey finds that the ancient Incan city "framed the implicit harmony between nature and humans...forming an underlying skeleton that signifies our interconnectedness. " Approximately 120 pages of photographs from the "Ancient Peak," sometimes called the Lost City of the Incas, will captivate armchair adventurers and spur travelers' imagination. What is known of the city's history is related in the introduction: built in the 15th century, abandoned not long after, "lost" for several centuries, and then rediscovered (and plundered) in the 19th century. To capture the city drenched in sunlight and etched in fog, Torrey visited Machu Picchu at the summer and winter solstices. Dazzling views of stone terraces against the green mountainsides reveal the intricate, mortarless construction of each, built from thousands of stones carried and set by hand. Photo captions are spare and far between, but Torrey concludes with a useful long shot labeling the site's points of interest.

Baby Bottle Gourds and/or buttlerfly houses
mmaynardJune 18, 2006
I am wanting to grow a gourd that I can use as a butterfly house. The baby bottle gourds seems to be the right size. Any suggestions? And does anyone have any seeds that I can purchase. Thanks.
Sorry to rain on your parade however, I don't believe butterfly houses work for what they're intended. See the link from the FAQs on the butterfly forum:

Historical Traveler Reviews Grand Hyatt DFW Dallas
Not just a one nighter!
Our family stayed over night here while enroute to Hawaii. We loved the hotel so much we didn't want to leave!! We wanted to spend our whole vacation here! The rooms are beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the washrooms were bigger than most average hotel rooms! We spent the evening up at the roof top pool enjoying a swim while we watched planes land and take off. Their work out facilities were top knotch! Each cardio machine had its own personal television and there was free bottled water. The hotel was great!!!
Travel quite a bit on business and haven't stayed in a place this good in a while. Since I'm Marriott Platinum I usually stick to Marriott but this hotel really stands out. Huge, well-designed, attractive rooms with huge marble baths. Great service, great fitness center and incredidle F & B. Although expensive, bar food and service was outstanding and the restaurant provided one of the best meals (both breakfast and dinner) that I've had on the road in a long time.
Loved the individual meal "stations" with the TV's. What a simple innovative concept - can't believe no one else has thought of it or does it.
This hotel, integrated into Terminal D of DFW airport, positively sparkles. The service was exceptional from all the staff I dealt with. The rooms are clean, fresh, modern and well-appointed. This isn't just a place to stay if your flight is cancelled--it would also be a good place to stay if you are doing business near the airport (e.g., in Irving or Las Colinas.) The in-house restaurant and room service are both outstanding. The only downside is that unlike the many budget hotels nearby, the Hyatt charges for high-speed Internet access (via t-mobile.)
Great hotel!
I found this new Hyatt DFW to be the best airport hotel I've ever seen. When we say "airport hotel", we mean no-taxi-necessary-you-can-walk-there airport hotel! If you don't arrive into Terminal D, you'll have to take the tram, but that's free. The lobby is clean, modern, and simple. The rooms are large, have beautiful modern decor, and cool TVs. The bathroom is beautiful black marble with separate tub and shower. There is a black velour bathrobe for you to wear, a nice touch. I attended a meeting in one of the conference rooms which was a high tech board-room-style room with comfortable chairs and state of the art AV set up. The only downfall to the hotel was the service in the restaurant. HORRIBLE! However, the food was excellent, and they have neat stations where you can eat at a bar with your own TV in front of you. This is a great business hotel in a convenient location.
Not a bad place in a bad situation....
Like others, my international flight was cancelled due to weather and I didn't feel like leaving so I stayed here. Room was great with large plasma TV, and room service was fast and really good. I paid a little less then $200 on a sold out night. I am a hyatt club member. I would stay here again, it was convenient to have a late check-out and cruise around the new terminal D. The hotel is attached to terminal D so it is a breeze for international flights. I also think some of the reviewers below are confusing this new hotel with the older hotel adjacent to the airport...
Good Hotel
I had to stay here for the night after missing a connecting flight. I had a good stay, albeit brief. The front desk was helpful and gave me a little toiletries kit. The room was comfortable and the food was surprisingly good. And, the chef even called to see if it was good. Nice hotel.
An Oasis
I, unexcitedly, decided to stay here as a result of an early flight the following day. I was impressed from the moment I pulled up to the curb. The bellman was great, the front desk staff were extremely courteous and professional and the feeling I got was that I was in a boutique hotel not in the airport but in a very cosmopolitan city, etc. The room was awesome- very comfortable with flat screen TV, great bed etc. The Health Club on the top floor was equally great- mint equipment and the outdoor pool was really nice- granted your at the airport but it is so nice that you almost forget. Needless to say I really liked this place. The only negative obviously is that your captive to the hotel and their offerings but for a night or two you'll be very happy. Lastly, the room service was really quick and food was good.
Not so Grand a Hyatt
Certainly up to Hyatt standards, but I'm unable to see much to merit the "Grand" designation. For a 9 PM check-in, there were two desk clerks trying to serve 15 guests; average wait time was 10 minutes per guest. No managers seen at any time. Clerks attempted to pacify guests with extra coffee coupons, but as a previous reviewer has noted, a more "grand" attempt at service would be to do what most 3-star properties do and supply a coffee maker in the room. My clerk tried to pacify me with a "secret" (undisclosed) upgrade to a suite; when I arrived at the door, my keys wouldn't work, so it was back to the lobby for another 15 minute wait, as the lines had not improved.
Finally, upon entry to the suite, I was fine with room size and decor in general. It's green, green and green, with a bit of rich wood and way too much black marble in the bathroom. Sticking out like a sore thumb is the armoire/TV cabinet in the suite's bedroom, which is painted wood, apparently either from Ikea overstock or built from 3/4 inch plywood by the property's engineers. Couldn't check out the minibar automation noted in earlier reviews, because my suite lacked a minibar completely. Significant plaster dust still coated the edges of power outlets - the rooms hadn't been punched and cleaned well for the original opening. TVs are LCD flat panels, but too small for their distance form the bed and living area sofa; and no HDTV or digital channels are provided. Spending $200 per room less on the Samsungs and investing that in other areas would have been more prudent long-term. Beds are firm and comfortable; toiletry amenities are a skimpy 1.5 oz each (most 4-star properties are in the 2 oz. range).
The fitness center has interesting flat screens on each cardio machine - except that they control only your fitness program; you can't actually watch TV from any of them. A single wall TV provides distraction for the entire center. The rooftop pool is simple but you would indeed get great views of takeoffs and landings if that suits your fancy.
At $199 a night, I believe there are many more interesting choices for an overnight in Dallas; choose the "Grand" Hyatt only if the convenience of remaining on the airport property overrides any other consideration.
Loved it!
If you need to stay near the DFW airport, look no further than this beauty attached to DFW. Rooms are large, the decor is modern and crisp, very cool bathrooms & bathrobes. Food here is great, service is excellent. My only beef is that food & sundries are expensive. But, that is the case at every quality airport hotel. There is a nice pool on the roof, and an awesome workout room. I also really loved watching the airplanes take off all day too. I will return here anytime I am in the Dallas airport overnight. I might even try to arrange a night on purpose!
A fine airport hotel
Spent two nights at this property. The lobby is Park Hyattish and the staff is very, very friendly and eager to please. The rooms are nice but not so very special. The shower stall, for example, was not very solidly built. They advertise "premium cable TV," but there was no HBO. Beware the hi-tech mini bar: Touch an item and you're charged for it! The health club is very nice and the rooftop pool deck is nice (if you don't mind the sound of planes taking off as you are sunning or swimming.) There is no coffee maker in the rooms: Guests are given coupons for the coffee bar on the restaurant level. It was frustrating having to dress to get coffee and then to wait while special lattes, etc., were being prepared. I only wanted my morning cup of java. I had to wait 10 minutes. The place where the hotel shines, to my mind, is the restaurant. It's the only restaurant in the place and it's a serious restaurant (with serious prices.) The service is very good. The fittings (plates, flatwear, etc) are very stylish. And -- by the way -- the food was imaginative and well prepared in an open kitchen. The restaurant is ambitious -- I hope not too ambitious for an airport property. Would gladly return.

Acceleration, looks, handling
Trunk space, back seat space
Great $55k Car For A Fraction Of The Price Now — This car is beautiful and accelerates 0-80 in like 2 seconds! Well, not really, but it seems like it. White paint is like glass, and the interior is solid. It's fun to drive and gets looks all day. The convertible top is very simple and fast.

We love this car. It's fun to drive and great on the highway.
Fuel economy
Fun In The Sun ! — This is the garage baby. My wife drives it to the grocery store and not much farther. It goes to South Florida probably twice a year and is great on I-75. This car has tons of power (V-8) and a gas bill to go along with it. It's worth every drop though. The 430CLK has plenty of eye appeal because it has the AMG wheels and body kit. This is not a family car. The back seat has no leg room so you can't really take another couple out to dinner in it. All in all, my wife won't part with it. It's a 2000 with only 45,000 miles.

performance, comfort, room, appearance
nothing of significance
2000 Mercedes Clk 430cab Sure Delivers... — Having owned several 4 seat convertbiles in the past (Saab Turbo, CLK,etc.), the CLK 430 Cab offers the best mix of performance, style and reliability. The V-8 never fails to deliver, the interior is a bit dressed up over some other cars, the ride is sporty but more comfortable then an M3, and I cannot stand the look of the new ones. The rear end doesn't work for me, so I continue to hang onto this model and enjoy it every day. With the top up, you wouldn't even know you were in a convertible..quiet and solid.

2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class 2 Dr CLK320 Coupe Review
215 Horsepower and 229 Ft.Lbs of torque still gets 30.4 on a good day and a pretty consistent 27 from a 3.2L motor. Great Stereo with a built in Weather Band which is awesome. Suprising amount of space considering its a 2 door coupe and shorter and narrower than a civic.
If you are over 5'8" don't plan on sitting in the back seat. That being said anyone under that can sit comfortably. Traction control kicks in to quickly. Rust because of a terrible windshield drain design.
Fast Fun And Fuel Efficient With Class! — Great car for commuting comfortably. Should invest in some snow tires if you do so in our northern climes where there is this crap called snow and its stock summer/ all seasons don't get a lot of traction but help with the mileage. The dash LCD pixels have a tendency to go out and the lights for the other gauges use off brand light bulbs which I was only able to find on-line. That said I was able to "re-build" the dash with a hair dryer some parts from AKspeedo in the U.K., some light bulbs and time for under $50. Lack of tilt wheel is annoying but not terrible to get used to. Has a bunch of luxury features that are fun to play with and show off to your friends e.g. retractable head rests, rear window screen remote control windows. Auto intermittent wiper is annoying in some weather as it likes to go faster than it needs to. It only has one wiper to control which is interesting. Auto dimming interior and driver side exterior mirrors are nice but slow sometimes. Plenty of power and still reasonably fuel efficient and fun to drive. Trunk is a good size for the car and the seats fold 60/40 style if you need more luggage space. It isn't a truck though so don't expect to haul a lot. Over all great spend of money as I got this one for $6,500.00 used with 90k on the clock in good shape with only two small DIY repairable rust spots and some other luckily easily fixed issues.

My Horrible Review Of A Clk 430 (dont Read It Lol) — the clk-430 is a beautiful car. it has great handling, braking, and acceleration. i dont know about others, but i have experienced 0-60 times of around 5.5-5.7 seconds. the one thing that would make this car even better would be a manual transmission with a clutch.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunshine101 Love this refrigerator I bought this refrigerator at Lowe's because my 20+ refrigerator was breaking shelf supports on the inside as well as the plastic corners at the end of the shelves. I also wanted a larger capacity than the 18 cu ft. I really like this refrigerator because of the 22 cu ft and I can access all the food that I need to get out without moving everything to get to it. My refrigerator looks empty most of the time where the old one always looked overcrowded. The ice maker gives you ice that actually looks like ice cubes. The only thing I don't like but I can live with is you don't have that many choices on the door shelving which there were more than 2. The little space under the last shelf is good for small tubes of tomato paste and things like that. March 20, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skip Simply the Quietest! Attractive, well-designed and easy to use, and cheery and bright inside. But what is most wonderful is that it is by far the quietest refrigerator I have even seen. A truly "serene" appliance. February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristennn We can't even fill it! When we decided to replace our old school refrigerator we thought that we wouldn't have enough space in any fridge because of our limited doorway. Well we were really wrong. Most of the time there are empty shelves! February 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by deelou15 This product is the perfect size We live in a house that cannot have a fridge larger than 30 inches wide, and are very happy with the LG 22 cu ft 30 inch french doors with bottom freezer. The refrigerator holds a lot more than I expected for the size. I like knowing the temperature displayed by the digital readout. I like that the fruit/vegetable drawers indicate how to regulate the humidity depending on the type of items in each drawer (i.e., sliding the lever to "fruit" or "vegetable"). Overall very pleased with our purchase, and no cons at this time. March 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jonesy Very impressed with this refrigerator! First off, thank you LG for designing a fridge that fits in my 100 yr old home space! It was the largest size that fit exactly in my current space!! Wanted the bottom freezer and was able to get french doors too. Looks fabulous. Love the adjustable gallon door bins. Cools very evenly and is super quiet. Food is truely staying fresh longer than previously. Also have found the lower ready to serve drawer to be very friendly and used by our children. The freezer storage with slide out drawer seems to allow us to organize and access better. Overall extremely impressed and satisfied with this purchase. I would absolutely purchase this again and again. Old fridge was a GE 17 cuft top freezer. Love that we don't have to bend over to access refrigerated items now!! If your trying to decide on a new fridge and this is one of the choices, I would suggest choosing this one. I do not think you will be sorry! January 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 Good thing in a small package. Small house, small kitchen and this refrigerator fits perfectly. It juts out maybe an inch more, but not intrusive. Quiet, well lit, easy to use. I particularly appreciate the accurate dimensions listed on the LG site . . . my measured space left little margin for error, and the actual dimensions were as stated. March 7, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by yimmy Very pleased with this fridge, looks good to. It took a little while to get used to the narrower doors, but overall we are very pleased with the operation of the unit, it is VERY QUIET, Everything stays cool, and the freezer in the bottom sves a lot of trips to the basement freezer, (we will probably not use the big freezer in the summer). Overall, it works great, looks great, am my better half is HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY. I was totally impressed with the 10 year warranty on the compressor and cooling unit, you can't go wrong, I would recommend this to anyone, (except my ex, she still isn't talking to me) March 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tonedup56 Very good product for the size This fridge is perfect for my condo galley kitchen. keeps food at perfect temp. I don't know why I can't digitally control the thermostat. I have a Kitchen Aid that is set at 38 but I can actually change the temperature if I want to. My only angst is that it is hard to clean and I have used the wipes from Weiman and it's better but not great. Does anyone have any suggestions? February 7, 2015

Princess Beatrice's Royal Hat Passes $30,000 Mark on eBay
Beatrice and her sister Princess Eugenie made waves when they turned up at the royal wedding sporting some very flamboyant hats. Although many guests arrived in very fancy headgear, the daughters of Sarah Ferguson, who was infamously banned from the festivities, definitely took the cake.
After all the hoopla surrounding her hat, the princess decided to auction off the gravity-defying pink number by British designer Philip Treacy for charity. Ferguson confirmed to Oprah Winfrey last week that Beatrice was "putting it up on eBay to auction it for UNICEF and for Children in Crisis."
In the eBay description, Princess Beatrice writes, "I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted. It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities. I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have."
She also seems to have a sense of humor about the ridicule the hat has generated. The listing includes photos of Photoshopped memes and a link to the hat's Facebook page.
Bidding ends on May 22 at 9 AM PDT.

Amazing. Someone has a lot of money to throw away buying that monstrosity. I could sure use 30 grand, but I do not even wear hats so can not sell one....

Read the story. The money goes to charity!!
- Thursday 19 MayBy fiona
Did that girl NOT look in the mirror before she walked out the door? She looks like a raccoon who had been foraging through the garbage and ended up with an ugly Christmas ornament stuck on it's head.
- Thursday 19 May
OMG, how could anyone possibly have enough nerve to wear something so hideous? When both sisters got out of their auto, the first thing I thought was that they looked exactly like a pair of racoons (note their eyes).
- Thursday 19 MayBy Lea
that's what I was thinking. The hat is hideous. I can understand raising money for charity. But I'd rather just give the money and tell them to keep the hat.

This is a fascinator, not a hat. A fascinator is attached with a hairband, hair clip etc.

And here I thought "what was SHE/Beatrice thinking" wearing that monstrosity - but it seems others find that ugly thing worth wasting money on - let's not be rude, and call them NUTS - but silently.... Oh, well... I guess it takes all kinds - they should throw that money MY way, I could use it to go to Tahiti - My, THAT's a LOT of dough to throw away...
- Thursday 19 MayBy Dorthy
If it was flipped down and the bow was at the back, it wouldn't be too bad.
- Thursday 19 MayBy Donna
You are spot on! The Facinater would look stunningly beautiful if worn on the back of her head, with her lovely hair swept up from the front to the rear, as a ribbon beneath that fabulous pink bow. I think it is a bow, and someone should have shown Beatrice the correct way of wearing it. The charities should do very well with this donation.
- Thursday 19 MayBy GB
That hat reminds me of an old cushy soft toilet seat my Parent's had back in the 80's.
They threw it out. Should kept it made something out of it ... (hat).
- Thursday 19 MayBy jesuaphn
After all the bad rap she has received for wearing the hat it is great that she has decided to sell it and donate the proceeds to charity. I tip my hat to her (no pun intended). She seems to be a nice person who handled the bad press well.
- Thursday 19 MayBy gb
I guess Royal Families don't have mirrors in those castles. Are you kidding?
- Thursday 19 MayBy cac006006
It certainly is wonderful that ugly hat is going to make alot of money for charity. But hopefully whoever spends the 30g's will put that hat out of its misery when they get it. She should also auction off that black crayon that she used to draw around her eyes.
- Thursday 19 MayBy Francesca
I don't believe for a moment the money is going to charity. Sarah Ferguson is broke, she is going to keep the money.
- Thursday 19 MayBy Larry
She should be arrested for that hat. And those "racoon eyes".
- Sunday 05 June
She is definitely the ugly sister. Eugenie is beautiful but Beatrice didn't get the family good looks--she's average at best. She might have slimmer figure but she's not what I'd call pretty. Maybe if she didn't have those raccoon bug-eyes and horribly out of proportion features--poor thing--she got the worst of both parents while Eugenie has a gorgeous face but is definitely a chubster.

Albizzia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate' .... miserable here???
These have been shipped up to the Seattle area and beyond from Oregon and California by the hundreds over the last few years. How are they doing? Any good examples of it actually doing well and getting big in the ground? They seem even less excited about our cool summers than the regular species... and less vigorous.
If they could come up with one of these with electric blue flowers maybe I'd buy it... LOL.
IME, this is just not a very robust plant - we return as many to the grower as get sold because of dieback or inexplicable 'failure to thrive'. I've yet to see one of any size or establishment in local gardens.
Ian, if you are hot for that color combination of dark, chocolately foliage and electric blue flowers, have you seen the new ceanothus intro, 'Tuxedo'? It's being carried by Blooming Nursery locally, so should be available at any retail garden center supplied by them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ceanothus 'Tuxedo'
I saw some of this Albizzia thriving in Modesto, California earlier this summer, and they had a bunch of really nice looking ones for cheap at the local Lowes, but I resisted the urge to bring some home and plant them because I live in Berkeley by the bay, and we just don't have the hot weather they love. I also think this is one of those plants best given the summer heat it prefers.
Anyone familiar with the background on the Ceanothus 'Tuxedo'? This seems to have appeared out of no where last year, or maybe I missed seeing it around earlier. It seems it just starting showing up in retail nurseries, and I had never seen one at any of the local botanic gardens. If anyone actually has photos of one that is larger sized and already blooming, I would love to see it. I've only seen this around in the tiny 4 inch pots so far...
It is a very new introduction (2007) from Fitzgerald Nurseries in Ireland. It was discovered as a sport on Ceanothus 'Autumnal Blue', a late blooming hybrid of C. thrysifolia and one of the east coast natives (possibly C. americana) so the plant should have reasonable cold hardiness. I've seen it in #1 sizes and it looks very much like a regular thrysifolia except for foliage color. Mature size is said to be similar as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fitzgerald's blog re: 'Tuxedo'
If it has the same flowering habit as 'Autumnal Blue' that is noteworthy. Last time I was at Swanson's, earlier this week this item was being displayed on shelves to the left of the west door of the central greenhouse (with bulbs, information counter etc.) - with a conspicuous 40% off sign placed among the pots.
The purple silk tree is a seedling that appeared in Japan, was brought to us via Hines nurseries. One year I saw other purple seedlings among a batch of green ones on offer at the Skagit Valley Gardens retail outlet south of Mt Vernon. So, it might be possible to get your own purple-leaved one by planting and growing silk tree seeds. Purple variants are certainly frequent among seedlings of Cordyline australis, while presumably not as usual with silk tree maybe not so rare as the Hines introduction might imply.
I've noticed stock of the Japanese selection going bronze or even brown during summers in pots at garden centers here. Somehow I have not been able to come up with 100 bucks for a 5 gallon pot of a silk tree that may become even more blah-looking during the season than the purple honeylocust.
The Albizzia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate' we saw in our EdCC class in Ciscoe's garden in mid August looked fine. It is still a smallish plant - about 3-4 feet, but fairly filled out and looked great among some large leafed shrubs.
I'm not sure how to post a pic here from my computer, but I could email one, I think, to anyone who wants to see what it looked like.
Then you won't want to hear that 3 foot tall well branched Albizzia 'Summer Chocolate' were going for less than $20/3gallon container at the Lowes in Modesto, Ca. At this price I was tempted myself, as I had never seen them so big or so cheap here in Berkeley/San Francisco. Ultimately I didn't bite either, as I know it would grow better with full sun and more heat, a combination difficult to come by in my garden. I've seen photos of a nice one year planted specimen seeming to do well up in Olympia, Washington.
Bahia, yes, I saw that photo as well.
Well perhaps I will just wait until they become cheaper, and then get one, so I won't feel like it was a major investment if it fails to thrive.
Remind me... is it illegal to propagate seedlings of patented plants? since they won't be clones of the parent.

One of the most seductive and instantly astounding Cognacs we have ever tasted at K&L. When we got a chance to sample this rare cask taken from the Cointreau cellar, most of the staff about fell over in awe. Big, thick, supple flavors of burnt sugar, thick caramel, stewed fruits, and vanilla custard. This is the type of brandy that makes people think twice before moving over to Armagnac. A legendary Cognac that ranks among the more impressive I have ever tasted. -David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer

wheeled carts for overwinter containers
I plan to spend part of Thanksgiving building some sturdy wheeled platforms for my mother and father in law. They have a great collection of plants that spend the warm months on their big deck, but in winter they keep them in the garage to protect them from frost. On warmer days (40s or 50s are common in NC winters, esp. lately) they open the garage and drag each huge plant out into the sunshine. That takes time, and I am concerned that back injuries are inevitable. So 2 or 3 wheeled platforms would allow them to easily push the plants in and out of the garage.
I have solid carpentry skills and tools. I am going to use decking techniques, basically. I'd like some thoughts on size (4x4', 3x5', etc), materials (pressure treated, plywood, plastic composite), and any features something like this should have. Thanks!
Also, is there another forum that this should go in? I'll crosspost in tools.
I have a two wheeled cart that has been extremely useful and easy to maneuver. I prefer it over other carts that I have had. Mine is much like the one pictured in the attached link. I've had it for a very long time, and simply repaint it every once in a while help preserve it.
The 'easy to maneuver' part is the most important feature, as far as I'm concerned.
Here is a link that might be useful: Click here for information
See picture below of a 3 x 6 work bench I built for the garage. It has swivel casters at all corners. If I was going to use it for plants, I'd lose the OSB/carpeted top & replace it with a sheet of FRP. I'd build the top so the FRP sagged slightly toward a hole in the middle, so when you water & inevitably spill or collection saucers overflow, the excess water flows to the center hole & drips into a collection vessel you can empty at your leisure. It's even wired, so all I need to do is plug it in to have electricity at the 3 outlets (can't see them in the pic).
Alternately: I just bought a HDPE service cart from Harbor Freight for $120, similar to the one you'll see if you copy/paste this link to your browser:
This is what I ended up putting together. Two 4'x4' carts with 3" wheels, built of pressure-treated decking and doubled 2x4's. If I had to do it over again, I would have made the carts more like 3x3' with 4" wheels. Loaded, these things are heavy and don't move as easily as I'd like. Still, it's better than dragging the plants back and forth. My mother-in-law seems pleased.

Makita recently announced the DC18SF Rapid Optimum charger, which accepts up to four batteries at a time.
Details are sketchy, but the device appears to charge all of the batteries at once – as opposed to sequentially, like the Milwaukee Six Pack charger does.
The DC18SF should be a boon to anyone who owns a lot of Makita batteries. According to the manufacturer the device can charge two full-size batteries in 60 minutes and four full-size batteries in 120 minutes. Compact batteries can be charged in half that amount of time. The charger monitors each battery and controls the current, voltage, and temperature for faster charging and longer life. Charge indicators display the charging status.
Suggested retail is $169 though this tool can likely be found for less on the web.

Gatherer's Gourmet Granola to double product line following Kickstarter campaign (Video)
- Barbara Pinckney
- Reporter- Albany Business Review
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Gatherer's Gourmet Granola of Schenectady, NY has turned to Kickstarter to support the addition of three new, certified gluten-free products to its line.
The 3-year-old company, which employs five people in its bakery at 388 Broadway, is seeking $15,000 in the crowdfunding campaign, which runs through Aug. 9. As of this morning, it had raised $5,575 from 129 people. But Sandro Gerbini, the company's founder and president, said it could hit $7,000 by the end of the day.
Gatherer's currently has three products on the shelves of local retailers, including Price Chopper, Hannaford, Shop Rite and Honest Weight Food Co-op, and stores in 10 other states. A smaller sized bag is sold in vending machines at IBM, local hospitals and some offices of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google.
Gerbini, who is 26, declined to disclose revenue, but said the company sells about 1,500 pounds of granola a week. It turned its first profit at the end of 2012.
The products are made from organic rolled oats and various ingredients, including honey, peanut butter, and maple syrup, produced within 50 miles of Schenectady.
The three new flavors, which took more than eight months to develop, will give Gatherer's entry into the growing gluten-free market.
"It is a smart business move," Gerbani said. "Customers, and potential customers, have been asking for gluten-free, and this gets us into some stores that otherwise wouldn't give us the time of day."
He said large supermarket chains do not need additional granola products, but gluten-free is a category by itself, and one in which stores will compete for new products.
Pinckney covers banking, health care, media and advertising.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT We have the all clear today to do business and make important decisions. The moon is in Sagittarius.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
This is a lovely day to shmooze with others although you feel a bit low key. You might hang back and watch others with great interest. Yes, you feel enthusiastic, but no, you might not participate. There's a good chance you'll discover a secret.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
This is a good day for business and commerce if you don't go overboard. Be shrewd because opportunities exist. However, they might look better than they actually are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
You make a great impression on bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs because you sound like you know what you're talking about. It's easy to throw yourself behind your words because you believe in what you're saying.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
This is a wonderful day to learn something new or discover new places and meet new faces because you're in an adventurous state of mind. The study of anything will please you. Group activities, especially with people from different backgrounds, will exciteyou.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Keep your eyes open for opportunities because others might be generous to you. You will benefit from the wealth of others by either receiving gifts and support, or having an opportunity to use something someone else owns. You might also get money back from the government or an inheritance. Ka-ching!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
This is a lovely social day. Enjoy shmoozing with members of the public, close friends and partners. You'll attract vibrant, talkative people to you so get ready to listen to new information and juicy gossip. A new partnership could promote your reputation in a favourable way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is a happy day at work. Enjoy interacting with colleagues and customers. Groups and meetings will be a positive experience for you. You might be excited to introduce or explain something, or someone else might enthusiastically endorse their ideas to you. It won't be a super productive day but you'll enjoy shmoozing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Romance, vacations, parties, sports events, the theatre, movies and playful times with children are tops on your To Do list. (Yay me!) Basically, you want to have fun. Financial speculation might be promising but be careful because something could look better than it actually is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You'll enjoy entertaining at home because family discussions will be upbeat, enthusiastic and collectively warm. It's also a good day to explore real-estate options but don't pay too much for something. Be careful. Don't take on more than you can handle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This is a feel-good day. You'll enjoy shmoozing with others, especially siblings, neighbours and colleagues. Your upbeat enthusiasm will attract others to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Business and commerce are favoured because you can easily attract money to you. Similarly, you can attract money-making opportunities. However, before you bite, make sure you are on firm ground and that your expectations are realistic.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Although your self-discipline is a bit weaker -- you just want to play -- you can still get a lot done. Nevertheless, pleasure is your primary motive and this pleasure is one that wants to be shared. Join friends for lunch, coffee breaks and such. You want to mingle.
Actress Catherine O'Hara (1954) shares your birthday. Your independence matters because you want to live your life the way you want, whether working in isolation or with others. You can party hard or be completely happy by yourself but you are always goal-oriented. You are skilled at establishing homes and structures and, in the coming year, you will work hard to build or construct something important to you.
