classic white kitchen or white with espresso island?
I have been going back and forth for literally months about whether I want to do espresso cabinets on our island or keep all the cabinets white. It is now very, very close to decision time and I am still not sure. Would anyone be willing to share pics of their white kitchen with a darker island?
I am using white painted shaker cabinets, Silestone lagoon countertops and white subway tile backsplash (probably in a herringbone pattern). My kitchen will open into casual dining area and keeping room. My floors will be a darker (but not totally dark) wide plank hardwood floor. I suppose I am worried that the kitchen will be too washed out or cold if I go with all white?!? Help and/or advice please!!
I think the contrast would be really nice. What you are describing is nearly to a t what I was initially going for design wise. We ended up doing away with the white cabinet ideas for us but I think they are wonderful paired with a darker island.
I went with the darker stained island. I chose it because I have 4 young children, and I know the island will get beat up. My old kitchen was all white, and the cabinets were pretty easy to keep clean, but the white island was constantly getting scuffed and spilled on, so I was constantly wiping it down or scrubbing the sides. I
m hoping that the dark stain will alleviate some of that. Plus, I love the way it grounds the island. I also made the island drawers full overlay, and I went with a lighter counter top there, as opposed to the soapstone on my perimeters.
My kitchen is a few weeks from being complete, but here is an in-progress pic:
My kitchen will also open to our dining room, where we have a dark wood table.
I like home4all6 was worried about the island getting beat up with all the traffic and we have an eating area that the end where I could just see feet scuffing the back side of the cabinet. When I started on this remodel mission I thought no way will I go with two different colors. I quickly changed my mind. I too am looking forward to home4all6's reveal pictures.
I waged this same debate...and my KD and ID told me I just needed to decide if I wanted all the cabinetry to be the same, or the countertops to be the same...but they discouraged me from doing both (2 cabinet finishes and 2 c-tops.) Since I knew I wanted marble, but I also knew I didn't want it on my island...my decision was kind of made for me. Since you are doing one c-top...I think an espresso island would be really nice!
Here is a pic of mine...my floors sound like yours, and I have a herringbone pattern over the range in my b-splash.
Wow, thank you to all! Home4all6 your kitchen is going to be gorgeous. And nini804, yours is amazing....love everything about it! I think I am going to do the darker island. I have two small children and I am also concerned about them scuffing it and kicking it while they are sitting...hopefully having the same countertops will make it look cohesive.
nini804 - where did you find the lighting above your island??
Hey, Csummer. I got those lights from a local showroom called Lightstyles. I just looked at my quote sheet, but it doesn't list the manufacturer by name, just style #. It could be Murray Feiss, or Quiozel (sp?)
Your kitchen is going to be great! Yes, my 2 children try their best to mess the island up...but so far the foot dirt has been minimal. The bigger issue is all that nice detail work...all those little edges LOVE to accumulate dust! Fabulous. I keep a dry swiffer permanently attached to my hand!

Ben Bernanke is likely to face pressure this week over the Federal Reserve's plan to hold interest rates near zero until late 2014.
Lawmakers and some economists have begun to question whether keeping rates that low for that long will heighten the risk of inflation, especially if the economy continues to improve and companies keep hiring.
Bernanke is not expected to signal any changes when he delivers the Fed's semi-annual economic report this week, first to the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday and then to the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
Nor do economists expect the Fed to alter its plan after its next meeting, on March 13. But some believe the Fed may soften its commitment to the 2014 timeframe after its late-April meeting, if the economy continues to make solid strides.
"We believe we need to see another couple of months of large payroll gains around 250,000 alongside a lower unemployment" rate first, economists at Deutsche Bank said in a research note.
Others say it would take an unmistakable sign of strength for the Fed to back off the 2014 target this year.
The job market is looking a lot better. The unemployment rate has fallen for five straight months and employers have added an average of 200,000 net jobs per month from November through January. Many economists are predicting that trend carried over into February.
Consumer confidence rose this month to the highest point in a year. Stocks have been surging — the Dow Jones industrial average on Wednesday closed above 13,000 for the first time since May 2008, four months before the financial crisis. Even the housing market is looking a little better.
Many economists believe Bernanke will take note of the recent improvements. But he's expected to caution that serious risks remain. He's likely to note the debt crisis in Europe. And he'll point out that gas prices have jumped in recent months.
"I don't expect Bernanke to say much beyond what the Fed has been saying which is a very conservative outlook that continues to show concern about the sustainability of the recovery," said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Amherst College.
Few economists expect the Fed to announce another round of bond-buying at its next meeting. But some say Bernanke will leave that option on the table, in case the economy falters again.
The Fed has tripled the size of its balance sheet since the financial crisis hit in 2008 to a record $2.94 trillion. It has conducted two rounds of bond purchases, one starting in late 2008, at the height of the financial crisis, and a $600 billion program that was announced in November 2010 and concluded in June of last year.

first peony came back!
I had always loved peonies, but had been afraid to try one because i have so much shade. Last year I bought one at a local nursery and put it in the one spot on my yard that got some decent sun, and it just sat there. And sat there.
And sat there. Didn't die, but didnt grow. I posted and was told it was developing its roots. okkkkkk. Then disaster, it got mowed down by the kid I hired to mow lawn. I thought it was a goner. This year it has come back beautifully, its lush, its gorgeous, and its got two HUGE blooms coming up. It's the festiva maximus variety and I am thrilled to have it in my yard :)
Peonies can be very tenacious. I had one I planted, didn't do much & I forgot about it. We decided to put in an iris bed & enlarge the area one fall. It had died down & I forgot about it being there. We tilled the area, put down newpapers & mulch & iris. Next spring, right in the midst of the iris was that peonie. I tried to dig it out to move it, but didn't get enough root so it died. Next spring, in the iris bed, here is that peonie again. I dug it out again, didn't think it made the move again, but it did. It is a nice size plant now, your festiva as a matter of fact.
My question is much after the fact but myst33 how long are we talking on your peony? For having just sat there I mean. I planted a small peony last year and at that time it had one bloom on it that opened beautifully. It came back very nicely this year in that the foliage looks great and it formed a tiny bud that did not open. Will I ever have flowers or is this plant a dud or something?
This is to Katefisher,,If you planted your peony last year with one flower, it wouldn't have flowered this year..just have foliage as you said. Next year you should see plenty of blooms. Just fertilize it early next year and make sure it gets enough sun. If after next year the plant seems healthy but has no blooms, it either is not getting enough sun or is planted too deep.

Book about moss gardening?
yoyobon_gwNovember 9, 2009
Can anyone out there suggest a good book about starting or maintaining a moss garden at home?
I want to create it outside since we live in a wooded area and I have always thought that a dedicated moss garden would be very pleasant.
While there is that book called Moss Gardening which can be found on eBay or Amazon I recommend using the information found at Moss Acres. Just follow the link below and read and print out as needed all the pages that apply.

5-1-1 Mix and handling 2 dissimilar soils in one pot
On a post a while ago Al responded to this question "... if a plant has been grown in normal commercial potting soil for awhile, will it adapt well to this kind of mix?"
Al's answer:
"It depends on how you treat it. If you take a plant with collapsed soil and place it in a larger pot with a fast soil, you'll have trouble, no matter what the soils are made from. With two dissimilar soils in the same pot, for a good part of the time, one will be too wet and the other too dry. But there are some things you can do to help remedy this. Ask if you're interested. "
I didn't see in further posts where anyone asked about this further and since I just made my first batch of 5-1-1 mix yesterday I am asking further on this issue. :-) I have about 6 small 'baby' plants(palm, dieffenbachia, philodendron, etc.) in small pots but the soil surrounding their roots was/is saturated. I pulled off as much potting soil as I could from around the roots(trying not to take off too many fragile roots...as these are young plants...unfortunately my Heptapleurum is dropping leaves and not looking good at all b/c many of it's roots were ripped off when I tried to get the mud-like potting soil off) and I put them in my 5-1-1 mix with just fine pine bark mulch and perlite. I didn't put in any peat/potting soil b/c these plants never dried out in over a week so I didn't want to give them too much of a water-retentive soil environment. I watered well yesterday with a lot of water draining from the pot. Today I looked at them and they 'felt' pretty dry down inside(I stuck my finger all the way down to the bottom almost...these are small pots) and watered again today BUT how will the root ball ever get any oxygen and dry out if I have to keep watering to keep the 5-1-1 mix moist?
Al from reading as many posts that my tired eyes could over the last few days, i would like to say how happy i am that i found GW, you and all the other friendly and knowledgeable people, Al have really got me thinking, and looking at my container garden in a whole new light. Al (tapla), what can be done to remedy the adaption process? I finally found with some substitutions (fir bark not pine) everything needed and plan to make my first 5-1-1 mix tomorrow to test transplant a tomato plant the needs to be potted up. It is my plan to rinse as much potting soil off that will come off. And stick it in the 5-1-1 mix. Can you suggest a way that will minimize the trama of going from a 5 gallon to a ten? Thanks Al.
Dee, I think you may be misunderstanding a couple things about 5:1:1. The 5:1:1 doesn't *need* to dry out in order to have oxygen...that's the whole point. The particles are coarse enough that there's always space for air to diffuse into the soil. In addition, the bottom of the pot will not be saturated with water (or at least very minimally so), as is common with retail potting soils. So don't worry too much about watering every day - if the root ball is dry, you need to water. Unless the root ball is staying dry even when you *do* water, a potting mix that quickly drains is rarely a bad thing.
How did you remove the old potting mix? The most common way is to thoroughly soak the root ball in water, and then use a stream of water to forcefully rinse it away, perhaps with the aid of a bent fork or screwdriver (root hook). What I've learned from this forum is that you don't need to be particularly gentle, and that for most kinds of plants, heavily pruning old, woody roots is very good for their long term health.
However, in the very short term, heavy root pruning can cause problems for the plant in getting enough water to the leaves to maintain turgidity. Water is moving out of the leaves into the air faster than the roots can supply it. When leaves are wilted, they can't photosynthesize.
As I understand it, for woody plants, pruning the top growth to "match" the roots is not as important as commonly thought. But for softer plants like many houseplants, leaving all of the top growth can make it impossible for roots to supply enough water right after repotting. This is especially true because humidity is usually relatively low indoors.
You can help your plant out by keeping it in the shade until it recovers, removing the largest, oldest leaves, and providing it with high humidity just until it is no longer wilting. Humidity can be increased by using a "humidity tent". You can make a simple one using any kind of boxy frame with clear plastic or saran wrap all around it. If you already have a large bell jar or terrarium, that's essentially perfect. You'll be delighted at how quickly this works! Misting and using a humidity "tray" (water and pebbles underneath the plant) is generally a useless gesture, as it has no significant effect on the humidity level. Do NOT put a plant that has a humidity tent in full sun, as it will "cook" the plant. A struggling new transplant should be in the shade anyway. Also, resist the urge to fertilize before the plant has had a chance to recover.
Good luck!
Greentiger, thanks for responding. I was beginning to wonder if anyone reads posts anymore on here. LOL!!!
Anyway, thanks for the info. I thought that once the water leaves the pot(evaporation or being absorbed by the roots) that oxygen enters in but what you shared is good to know.
I also found very helpful about rinsing the rootball with water to remove the old potting soil off the roots. I did not do that. I "took off" as much potting soil with my hands as I could trying not to break ALL the roots. There is still some old potting soil left on the roots but I plunked it down inside of the pot and put my 5-1-1 mix in. I did not rinse them off. That's a good tip though, to rinse the roots...I try that next time. I'm very hesitant about pruning roots. My Heptapleurm has a very small root ball and tiny roots(young plant) so I think it went through major shock by me replacing the old soil with the new. Thanks for helping me understand the effects of root pruning.
I had another question. I didn't put lime in my mix when I made it...can I add it to the pots and sort of work it into the the 1st several layers of mix in the pot or should I just wait until they need to be repotted in another year or so?
Thanks again!

Another quite lovely day. Sun just blasting out Hope the weather guys keep forecasting not so good weather.
Been asked to recommend a plant for a pot outside. Not so easy when choice is so wide. So folks....for someone not a gardener, must be easy to look after, look good all year round and flowers too...? I thought of a pieris or dwarf rhododendron. What would you guys like if you only had one choice?
Will be treated to a meal later....so cannot eat too much right now. ......in theory but....... Reasoned a big lunch will have been forgotten by mr tummy by 7 45 so could squeeze in a donut or two this afternoon as well.
Re Tim Vine's jokes.........love those one liners. They sow....sow?......have me in stitches? .......I'll get my coat
Would like to see Arsenal do well.....but think they will struggle.

Devin is the perfect host!
his place was clean and had everything we needed and plenty of information about san Francisco. my friends and I really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying at his place.
Thanks Devin!
This is a great apartment in the Marina district, and Devin was an excellent host - very responsive and helpful. The apartment is a couple of blocks from restaurants, shops & pubs, and is sunny with a lovely outlook. Highly recommended.
Our family stayed there for almost a week, and don't have any complaints at all.
Communication from Devin was great. He was easily reachable prior to and during our stay. The condo was clean, and they put a lot of work into upgrading the place. It had a very warm feel to it. Lastly, it was an A location also, with a lot of nice parks and restaurants within walking distance.
Maybe the only negative is that if you like to sleep in late and you are a light sleeper, that will likely be difficult because of noise from upstairs. Also no cable TV, but not an issue for us.
I would definitely stay again there.
Fantastic location, area, very conveniant, calm and safe. On top of that you can have dinner and watching baseball on the park from you table dinner.
Very easy communication and if there is any problem or question, the neighbourg are very helpfull and very friendly.
I hope to come back overthere.
This was a fantastic place to stay. I stayed there for over two weeks and had absolutely no complaints. The location was great for walking to restaurants and bars and convenient to bus stops. The kitchen was well-stocked and beautiful. I never even turned the tv on because watching all of the activity on the softball fields across the street through the beautiful picture windows was all the entertainment I needed! Staying there really did make it feel like I was at home away from home on my trip.
The upstairs neighbors were very friendly and helpful. Devin was also very responsive and helpful about the one or two questions I had while staying at his place. Highly recommend.
Fantastic location and very large house with a gourmet kitchen. The master bedroom was really comfortable. Devin and his nice neighbors will help you with every aspect of your stay. I highly recommend this house...
The Redmonds are a lovely family, with an adorable two-year-old, for whom we'd babysit anytime. It was great fun to have them here. They left everything in good shape and did a good job of taking advantage of all there is to do.
It's guests like these that make AirBnB a good idea.

Record longevity?
Yesterday a HVAC contractor replaced a gas furnace and AC for me. Not my primary residence. The compressor apparently locked up but it was over 20 years old. Rheem outdoor unit. All the indoor components were original to the house and the inspection tag was dated May 3,1967. The furnace had the blower motor replaced twice, but no other repairs to the indoor components. System was originally all Armstrong and the Rheem condenser unit was a replacement. Downflow gas furnace with the V-coil on the bottom and furnace on top. The coil was not accessible for either inspection nor cleaning. It never leaked but was dirty and the fins were deteriorated. That coil was 44 years in service.
Are you looking for just forced air combined heat and cool? My parents are running an oil-fired boiler for more than 50 years. It heats the house and makes hot water for the faucets. It originally had one zone, but now has three. The burner has been replaced a time or two.
Last week we installed a unit to replace a 4 ton ac system, no brand name on unit, but there was a tag inside giving name of installing company and date 6/17/69 that,s 41 years. The condensing unit was made in Jackson Michigan, has a big old Tecumseh compressor, looks to be the original, the A coil looks orignal, built like a tank was installed in a Montgomery Wards 100,000Btu furnace.6/17/69 Incidentally unit still worked. Homeowner simply wanted to install a more effecient furnace & ac. Home owner had lived in house since 77 and the company on tag is no longer listed in phone directory. Owner said the only ac repair was replacing the conderser fan motor about 10 years ago. Said also replaced furnace blower motor 4 years ago and main gas valve a few years back.
Stuff then was built to last, not built as cheap as possible as that's what homeowners want.
Oldest we've removed besides an ancient steam boiler was Carrier units from the 50s. Condenser had a blower, semi-hermetic compressor, used Carene 7 refrigerant (aka R500). One even was still working.
iggie's outdoor unit was a Heat Controller, the Wards furnace was made by Rheem. Wards even sold a 2 stage furnace in the 70s. Staged by 2 stage stat or a switch on the stat that said high/low.

Harrison Potter Dr. Matthew Young 2 April 2008 A Beautiful Mind History is often told as the tale of a few great men who change the world. Dating back to the ancient Greeks, larger-than-life figures such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were recognized as brilliant men who shaped the ways in which people thought and lived. This trend of personalizing and simplifying history by telling it through the lives and contributions of a few brilliant individuals continues to this day. Due to the wide-ranging success of science and technology in winning World War II, from radar, missiles, tanks, and airplanes to code-breaking algorithms, submarine warfare tactics, and the atomic bomb, a particular emphasis has been placed in recent years on the individual contributions of innovative scientists and academicians. As an innovative mathematician coming of age shortly after World War II, John Nash is one such individual whose life captures many facets of the sociopolitical landscape of mid 19th century America, particularly because he suffered a precipitous fall from grace after falling victim to paranoid schizophrenia at what should have been the pinnacle of his professional career. Brought back into the minds of the general public after more than 30 years of obscurity by a remarkable remission of his illness and the honor of winning the 1994 Nobel Prize in Economics, Nash is a man of incredible historical interest and complexity. In tackling the problem of adequately presenting this essential reality to a general audience through the film A Beautiful Mind, director Ron Howard took on a monumental task, the success of which warrants close analysis. Potter 2 In many ways the film A Beautiful Mind completely betrays the fidelity of historical detail in its portrayal of the life of John Nash. Although he did enroll as a graduate student at Princeton University in the fall of 1948, his experience there was markedly different from that portrayed in the film. In the opening scene, Professor Helinger delivers a motivational speech to the incoming freshman class, including Nash, asking the students "Now who among you will be the next Morse? The next Einstein? Who among you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom, and discovery?" This speech sets the tone for the time Nash spends at Princeton, making it clear that he is expected to deliver "publishable, applicable results" in order to earn his keep. This is very much in line with the competitive, cut-throat atmosphere established in reality by Professor Solomon Lefschetz, who actually delivered a similar, though much stronger, speech welcoming Nash to Princeton, which served as the inspiration for the one delivered by Professor Helinger in the film. How various aspects of student performances were taken into account in evaluating a student"s performance, however, are completely distorted in the film. The film makes it clear that students are expected to attend class, for example, by having Nash respond to an inquiry by Sol, a fellow graduate student, regarding why he has been skipping classes by saying "Classes will dull your mind, destroy the potential for authentic creativity." Professor Helinger also holds Nash accountable for his class absences later when Nash is seeking a continuation of his financial support. Professor Lefschetz, however, made it clear on the very first day in no uncertain terms that "They could go to class or not go to class. He didn"t give a damn. Grades meant nothing. They were only recorded to please the "goddamn deans." Only the generals counted. There was only one requirement: come to tea. They were absolutely Potter 3 required to come to tea every afternoon. Where else would they meet the finest mathematicians in the world?" (Nasar 59). Such a depiction of life as a graduate student at Princeton in 1948 is clearly distinct from that portrayed on film, at least in the details. In a broader sense, however, the film does effectively communicate that Princeton was dominated at the time by a completely unforgiving atmosphere. "If the faculty, which got to know every student well, decided that so-and-so wasn"t going to make it, Professor Lefschetz wasn"t shy about not renewing the student"s support or simply telling him to leave" (Nasar 60). This point is emphasized in a series of dramatic scenes in the film, though again with half- truths carefully woven in with historically accurate material. Nash, nearing the end of his first semester, runs into trouble with Professor Helinger when he does not attend class or publish any research papers. Helinger makes it very clear that Nash is in serious academic trouble, stating impatiently "John, your fellows have attended classes, they"ve written papers, they"re published… You haven"t focused. Now I"m sorry, but up to this point your record doesn"t warrant any placement at all. Good day." Although this serves as an accurate reflection of Lefschetz"s policy of intolerance regarding underachieving students, this scene inaccurately depicts John as a struggling and troublesome student. Nothing could have been further form the truth. "Princeton"s approach to its graduate students, with its combination of complete freedom and relentless pressure to produce, could not have been better suited to someone of Nash"s temperament and style as a mathematician, nor more happily designed to elicit the first real proofs of his genius" (Nasar 61). The real John Nash took only 2 years to obtain a doctorate degree in mathematics from a premier institution, something that typically takes a student 4 to 6 Potter 4 years to achieve. Although in the spring of 1949 Professor Emil Artin, a distinguished algebraist at Princeton, was opposed to renewing Nash"s fellowship, his objections were founded on a personal bias against the peculiar way in which Nash conducted himself rather than on any lack of scholarly ability. Accordingly, Professors Lefschetz, Norman Steenrod, and Albert Tucker, who would later serve as Nash"s thesis advisor, overruled Artin"s objections and granted Nash an Atomic Energy Commission fellowship for the following academic year (Nasar 73-4). In spite of all of his success, however, an inherent insecurity did dominate his personality and lifestyle. "His expression was somewhat haughty and he smiled to himself in a superior way…He seemed eager to be noticed and seemed to want to establish that he was smarter than anyone else in the place…He seized opportunities to boast about his accomplishments…He was a self-declared free thinker… He implied that his lineage was superior to that of his fellow students, especially Jewish students" (Nasar 67). A guiding principle in John Nash"s life was that he was a class above other humans, and that, as a result, everyone should recognize his superiority and praise him for it. When this did not occur, or when doubt was shed on this alleged fact, he groped for a sense of self-worth and confidence in who he was. These truths are communicated in the film by weaving them into the very same scenes that establish Princeton as a highly competitive academic environment. Although in reality these are two related but distinct undercurrents in Nash"s life that later played a role in triggering the onset of his paranoid schizophrenia, these two themes are all but indistinguishable in the film. A particularly revealing and crucial scene early in the film is that in which Nash and his roommate Charles, who is in fact merely a delusion, are having a conversation on Potter 5 the roof of the dormitory. Nash, essentially speaking to himself, engages in monologue, saying "Despite my privileged upbringing, I"m actually quite well-balanced: I have a chip on both shoulders… My first grade teacher told me that I was born with two helpings of brain but only half a helping of heart... The truth is that I don"t like people much, and they don"t like me… Do you know half these schoolboys are already published? I cannot waste time with these classes and these books, memorizing the weak assumptions of LESSER MORTALS. I need to look through to the governing dynamics, find a truly original idea. That"s the only way I"ll ever distinguish myself, that"s the only way that I"ll ever…" at which point Charles completes his sentence with "…matter," a conclusion with which Nash expresses his agreement. Soon thereafter, these sentiments are emphasized by a scene in which Martin Hansen, a brilliant student whom Nash views as a rival and threat to his intellectual dominance, challenges Nash to a game of go, one of many games that truly were popular among Nash and his colleagues (Nasar 75-8). During the game they engage in conversation. "What if you never come up with your original idea," Hansen asks Nash, "how will it feel when I am chosen for Wheeler and you are not? What if you lose?" Upon finishing his rhetorical question, Hansen makes a decisive move in the game that secures his victory over Nash, sending Nash careening away, mortified over his inability to cope with his own potential for failure. Later, after being threatened with expulsion by Professor Helinger for underperforming, Nash is emotionally overwhelmed in his room in a scene with Charles, rambling with panic. "I can"t see it... I can"t see it. This is all I am… I"ve got to get something done… I can"t keep staring into space… I gotta sit in here, I gotta face the wall, follow their rules, read their books, go to their classes…" Potter 6 Charles, meanwhile, is trying to get John to calm down, pushing the desk back toward the window while John is pushing it towards the wall, leading John to finally erupt with "God damn it, Charles, what is your problem?" to which Charles replies "It"s not my problem, and it"s not your problem. It"s their problem. Your answer isn"t "face the wall," it"s out there, where you"ve been looking." This sequence of scenes is incredibly revealing, communicating several vital aspects of Nash"s character quickly and effectively; however, although the essence of these scenes is rooted in historical truth, they cannot be taken at face value without distorting reality. In order to effectively use the medium of film to communicate the story of John Nash, the filmmakers had to use a significant amount of dialogue, omitting any potential scenes that would be devoid of action. Silent contemplation, however, characterized Nash as a person. "He was always buried in thought. He"d sit in the common room by himself. He could easily walk by you and not see you. He was always muttering to himself. Always whistling. Nash was always thinking" (Nasar 69). As presented onscreen, Nash was only somewhat asocial and arrogant, eventually coming to terms with his own insecurities through his loving relationship with Alicia. It is suggested that the pressures of being a graduate student at Princeton who desperately wanted to succeed and prove himself in such a harsh environment led to his highly critical attitude towards himself and others, as well as his lack of satisfaction with his own success. Although this is a tempting way to view such a brilliant man, it is ultimately inaccurate: Nash was actually an incredibly insensitive, socially awkward, narcistic human being. Assertions that he lacked emotion and caring for other people are Potter 7 particularly relevant to the central theme in the movie, namely that love can overcome any obstacle, even as crippling a mental illness as paranoid schizophrenia, but they hardly scratch the surface of the real John Nash. Regularly attacking his peers by dismissing their insights as "trivial" and accusing them of "burbling" and "hacking" their way through mathematical discussions, Nash was not well-liked, but rather merely tolerated due to his impressive intellectual insights and contributions (Nasar 67). In possession of a wry, childish sense of humor and a violent temper, he was also feared by many of his fellow students. "On one occasion, Nash was baiting one of Artin"s students by telling him that the best way into Artin"s graces was to catch his beautiful daughter Karin. The student, Serge Lang, who everyone knew was painfully obsessed by his shyness around girls, threw a hot cup of tea in Nash"s face. Nash chased him around the table, threw him to the ground, and stuffed ice cubes down the back of his shirt. Another time, Nash picked up a metal ashtray stand – the kind that supports a heavy glass ashtray – and brought it down on Melvin Peisakoff"s shins, hard enough to cause considerable pain for a number of weeks" (Nasar 73). These were not isolated incidences, but are instead representative examples of his habit of projecting his self-doubt onto others through insults and of expressing his self- hate through violence. As an undergraduate at Carnegie Institute of Technology, the forerunner of Carnegie Mellon University, several fellow students filled his room with cigarette smoke while he was studying inside. This harmless prank was met with violent retaliation, as Paul Zweifel, one the students, recalls. "He came roaring out of his room, picked up Jack [Wachtman], and threw him down on the bed. He ripped off Wachtman"s shirt and bit him in the back. Then he ran out of the room" (Nasar 43). Following Potter 8 Professor Helinger"s opening address in the film, the fact that Nash was socially peculiar and insensitive is demonstrated with his comment at the welcome reception to fellow student Ainsley that "There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad your tie is" and his following attack on Hansen in which he asserts "I assume you've gotten quite used to miscalculation. I read your pre-prints, both of them. One on Nazi scientists, and the other one on non-linear equations, and I'm extremely confident that there's not one seminal or innovative idea in either one of them. Enjoy your punch." While these scenes attempt to convey a sense of the social awkwardness that characterized Nash throughout his life, they do not take it nearly far enough to approach reality. When interacting with his peers, Nash took Princetonian arrogance to a whole new level. This misrepresentation of Nash"s character cannot simply be ignored in analyzing the quality of the film as a historical piece because it is made overwhelmingly significant through his relationship with Alicia. Alicia is portrayed as a strong, aggressive woman who knows exactly what she wants and is getting into by courting John. Contrary to established gender roles, she asks John out for a first date and does not shy away from his awkward advances. This is truthful to the real Alicia Larde, though the romantic nature of the relationship is dramatically overdone in order to appeal to a large film audience and so that the overriding theme of the film can prevail, in which their love sustains John through his illness until his remission several decades later. While some genuine attraction was certainly present between the two of them, their relationship was guided more by pragmatism than love. An aspiring nuclear physicist whose career had been stagnated by the difficult MIT curriculum, Alicia "recognized that marriage to an illustrious man might also satisfy her ambitions. Nash seemed to fit the bill" (Nasar 197). Potter 9 Likewise, "Nash found her interesting company, liked that she set her own compass,… was amused by her flashes of sarcasm and irreverence,… and took her willingness to pursue him… as a sign that she was prepared to take him as he was" (Nasar 199). All told, "there was a coolness, a calculation, that guided their actions" (Nasar 199). Although this is brought to light somewhat in the film through Nash"s very forward sexual advances and his awkward proposal where he expresses a need for proof of the solidarity of the relationship, the lasting marriage that ensues and supports Nash through his schizophrenia suggests a deep and lasting bond between the two of them. In actual fact, Nash"s ability to sacrifice of himself in order to love another human being is questionable at best. Years before he became involved with Alicia, he had an illegitimate son by Eleanor Stier while working as a professor at MIT in the fall of 1952, one whom he was pleased to father but reluctant to support financially. In order to obtain financial support, Eleanor "had hired a lawyer. She wanted regular child support payments… She was devastated by Nash"s abandonment and bitter over his refusal to support their son" (Nasar 206-7). Only after years of estrangement, during which his son was placed with numerous foster families while Eleanor struggled to support herself and their child, did John finally agree to financially support his son in 1956, and only then because of the threat of legal action. Late in his life, after winning the Nobel Prize during a remission of his illness, Nash tried to reconcile with his estranged son. Even then, however, with the best of intentions, he lacked the emotional capacity and empathy needed to bridge the gap. "Even as he tried to draw his son closer, he said and did things that could only be called insensitive and alienating. He did not try to hide his own feelings of disappointment. He criticized his son"s appearance, calling him fat (which he is not). He Potter 10 criticized his son"s choice of profession, suggesting that nursing was beneath a son of his and urging him to go to medical school instead of pursuing a master"s in nursing" (Nasar 387). Even his marriage with Alicia, which began in February of 1957, fell apart within a few years, with Alicia filing for divorce the day after Christmas 1962 (Nasar 212, 302). Their relationship was certainly anything but the love-struck affair portrayed on film. Alicia, however, did support Nash for many years in spite of his illness, living out of a small house outside of Princeton after their divorce. "When Alicia offered to let Nash live with her in 1970, she was moved by pity, loyalty, and the realization that no one else on earth would take him in" (Nasar 340). Her approach to helping him was ultimately very similar to that portrayed on screen. After several early hospitalizations, during which Nash was indeed subjected to insulin shock therapy, Alicia lost faith in the ability of professional psychiatrists to help her ex-husband. Although she was initially the one who signed the papers permitting Nash"s institutionalization against his will, a fact distorted in the film in order to preserve the shock value of the sudden realization that much of what the audience experiences through the eyes of Nash early in the film are actually delusions, she eventually "took Nash"s own assessment of his needs – for safety, freedom, and friendship – literally… She believed, perhaps somewhat wishfully, that living in an academic community among his own kind, without the threat of further hospitalization, would help him get well" (Nasar 340). By this time, more than a decade after the first onset of his illness in early 1959, Nash had traveled to Paris, Luxembourg, Geneva, and East Germany in failed attempts to renounce his United States citizenship so that the United Nations could declare him a "citizen of the world," delusional exploits that were not touched upon in the film (Nasar Potter 11 270-82). This omission was not the only historical modification made by the film with regards to his illness. In the film, Nash was suffering from delusions while still in graduate school when, in fact, he didn"t start experiencing delusions until a decade later, after marrying Alicia and having worked at MIT for several years. Additionally, although he did work for a military think tank known as RAND for several years over the summers, this work required Nash to relocate to Santa Monica, California, was never done as part of his work at MIT, where he worked as a mathematics professor starting in the fall of 1951, and never overlapped with his relationship with Alicia (Nasar 133-46). As in the film, however, Nash"s incredible talents were recognized by his RAND coworkers, who viewed him as a valuable tool in attacking the most difficult problems. "His legend had preceded him. In the eyes of his new colleagues… Nash was a young genius who could do anything, a guy who liked solving problems. Mathematicians who were struggling with tricky problems quickly learned to collar him by planting themselves squarely in his path" (Nasar 113). Nash, however, never deteriorated into paranoid schizophrenic behavior while working at RAND, though his experiences there, working on secret projects related to the Cold War during the McCarthy era, may have made him more susceptible to the disease. In 1954, for example, Nash was arrested in a men"s bathroom in Palisades Park and charged with "indecent exposure" (Nasar 184). Although the offense was only a misdemeanor, any government employee who was suspected of homosexuality or of any behavior deemed "deviant" was considered vulnerable to blackmail, and was thus viewed as a security threat. Accordingly, upon learning of the incident, Richard Best, RAND"s manager of security, revoked Nash"s security clearance, making it impossible for him to continue working at RAND (Nasar Potter 12 184-7). "Although Nash appeared unscathed, the arrest was a turning point in his life… He learned, in a particularly brutal fashion, that the emotional connections he sought threatened to destroy all else that he valued – his freedom, his career, his reputation, success on society"s terms" (Nasar 188). Although the varied and detailed history surrounding Nash"s gradual descent into mental illness is condensed considerably in the film, the hellish experience of living as a paranoid schizophrenic is portrayed beautifully. The audience is made to experience the life of John Nash through his own eyes for the first half of the film. All of the trials and tribulations of graduate school, working as a professor at MIT, falling in love, and getting married are powerful experiences that viewers can relate to on a personal level, equating the events shown with their own most dearly held memories. When Nash is apprehended following his address at Harvard, it is frightening, strange, and unexpected. Just as Nash was defensive when approached about receiving professional help for his mental disorder, so is the audience skeptical when they learn that Dr. Rosen is a psychiatrist rather than a Russian spy. Denial is a natural reaction for anyone experiencing this crippling disease firsthand, and the primary success of the film is that it enables viewers to sympathize with the mentally ill rather than scorn them. It is all too easy to dismiss the behavior and beliefs of a person with paranoid schizophrenia as mad, ergo meaningless, without really considering the human being at the heart of all of that chaos. Every case is unique in both onset and symptoms of the disease, but in communicating the experiences of one representative individual, the film teaches the audience how to perceive the mentally ill more compassionately. For Nash, a gradual accumulation of stressors stemming from his Potter 13 intense, secretive, and lonely lifestyle led to the first expression of his disease. "Underneath the brilliant surface of his life, all was chaos and contradiction: his involvements with other men; a secret mistress and a neglected illegitimate son; a deep ambivalence toward his wife who adored him, the university that nurtured him, even his country; and, increasingly, a haunting fear of failure. And the chaos eventually welled up, spilled over, and swept away the fragile edifice of his carefully constructed life" (Nasar 16). Manifestations of these overwhelming anxieties, his symptoms were varied, long-lasting, and representative of his inner turmoil. "Nash suffered from severe delusions, hallucinations, disordered thought and feeling, and a broken will,… abandoned mathematics, embraced numerology and religious prophecy, and believed himself to be a "messianic figure of great but secret importance"" (Nasar 16). The pain of living with such a "cancer of the mind" for thirty years is impossible to convey on film, but the use of metaphor helps to communicate the depth and breadth of the suffering (Nasar 16). Unable to reliably perform useful work of any kind, Nash is shown sitting idly by in his home while Alicia cares for the baby and works to support the family. While on medication, John cannot even think clearly enough to perform any sensible mathematical calculations, an ability that defined him as a person before his illness, as Sol makes clear when he looks with pity and disappointment at what John has been working on while visiting the Nash family at home. Not only that, but he cannot even satisfy his wife sexually while on the medication, a fact that pushes Alicia beyond her ability to cope, leading her to scream and break a bathroom mirror in a fit of rage, a poignant scene that conveys the emotional toll of schizophrenia not only on those suffering from it but on anyone close to someone who is suffering from it. Unable to Potter 14 accept this situation, John stops taking his medication, but soon finds himself overwhelmed by delusions once more. Unable to function properly, he nearly drowns his own son in the bathtub without realizing it. Although these scenes were invented in order to communicate certain ideas, the ideas that they communicate are grounded in the historical reality not only of John Nash"s suffering, but of the suffering of anyone who has personally experienced the consequences of schizophrenia. In addition to conveying the agony of mental illness in an insightful way, the film gave as realistic an impression of the nature of mathematical genius as can be expected from any medium. Genius is by its very nature completely original and unique; Albert Einstein, Carl Friedrich Gauss, John von Neumann, and John Forbes Nash are as distinct from one another in their thought processes as they are from a layman. Glimpses into the mind of John Nash are nonetheless granted in the film through the use of visual effects, which give the viewer a sense of the way in which brilliant mathematicians can manipulate abstract concepts, ideas, and theorems as if they were physical, visual, tangible realities. A tendency towards utilizing intuition to visualize mathematical concepts is incredibly common; even amateur mathematicians can have brief flashes of such geometric insight. A genius such as Nash, however, naturally thinks in such an enlightened state, an ability that continual practice refines to a seemingly superhuman level. The danger in conveying genius in such a short film, however, is that the years of hard work and study that enable a natural propensity for problem-solving to blossom into full-fledged brilliance will be lost on the audience. In solving the notoriously difficult embedding problem for manifolds, a long-standing conjecture alluded to in the film, "Nash worked… for two years with a sort of ferocious, fantastic intensity until he broke Potter 15 through it" (Nasar 160). Just as it is all too easy to forget the many years of constant training that enable Olympic athletes to perform at an unbelievably high level when they compete, so it is easy to dismiss the potential for genius in everyone, if only it were actively nurtured and brought to fruition, when considering especially gifted thinkers. Ultimately, the film A Beautiful Mind is a masterfully crafted piece of historical fiction that captures many facets of the life of John Nash. Fidelity to historical detail is sacrificed in many instances in order to develop a more coherent, linear story line. At the center of the work, however, is a dedication to presenting his schizophrenia not as a personal abomination to be scorned and feared, but as a mental disease that requires compassion and dedication to overcome, just as with any other disease. This point is communicated with great honesty and integrity, to the credit of the filmmakers. With regards to its presentation of the academic atmosphere at Princeton, the nature of John Nash"s incredible genius, and the ways in which these intertwined to shape his professional personality and lifestyle, many historical details have been necessarily omitted, but the central ideas and underlying themes are well-represented. Corresponding distortions of his character and personal life, however, are much more pronounced and distort who John Nash really was as a person. Thematically, the film betrays reality by pronouncing enduring love as a cure for even the most debilitating mental illness. In reality, John Nash is among a small percentage of schizophrenics who experience a sudden remission of the illness in old age for unknown reasons (Nasar 349- 55). Love is not a cure-all. It is only a balm that helps ease the suffering of life. This objection notwithstanding, A Beautiful Mind challenges the audience to consider a vast array of historical questions and to research the historical basis for the film in more detail. Potter 16 As such, it is a meaningful and useful part of the historical discourse surrounding John Nash. Potter 17 Works Cited Howard, Ron, dir. A Beautiful Mind. 2001. DVD. Nasar, Sylvia.

When the BOBS from SKECHERS program began in 2011, we wanted to do what we could to help children that needed footwear. We never expected it to become the hugely successful movement that it is today. Three short years later and we've crossed the NINE MILLION PAIR milestone! It's truly incredible and we're humbled by the impact that this program has had on children around the world. While we're proud of the achievement, our mission continues with ongoing donation events. In fact, two events this past week in Nebraska City, Nebraska, and Evansville, Indiana, resulted in over 1,200 more kids receiving a new pair of shoes. Check out the pictures from the events as we march onward to 10 million pairs donated and beyond!
Just In
We caught up with pop star Demi Lovato on the set of her new SKECHERS commercial and photo shoot. Take a look at the video for an exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peak!
The multi-platinum selling recording artist and actress is as thrilled about her new campaign as we are and told us: "I'm so excited to partner with SKECHERS on a global campaign because I love the brand! They're so comfortable and fit well into my day-to-day life. Everyone loves to be comfortable, and SKECHERS are a perfect combination of sport and fashion." Demi's new ad is slated to hit the airwaves this holiday season. Stay tuned for more details in the months ahead!
Retired New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, arguably the greatest relief pitcher in baseball history, has signed on with SKECHERS to join the team of sports icons representing our men's Relaxed Fit footwear line. Rivera will star in a television commercial set to begin airing in Spring 2015—just in time for next year's baseball season!
We asked Rivera how Relaxed Fit ties in with his storied career. He told us: "After 19 seasons on the mound, I'm the one that needs relief these days and comfortable Relaxed Fit shoes get the job done. I'm thrilled to be working with SKECHERS on the same team as the impressive roster of sports legends that have appeared in this ongoing campaign."
Nicknamed "Sandman," Rivera played his entire Major League Baseball career with the New York Yankees including 17 seasons as the team's closer. A 13-time All-Star and five-time World Series champion, he holds all-time MLB records for saves (652) and games finished (952). Known for his consistency, he saved at least 25 games for a record 15 consecutive seasons and posted an ERA under 2.00 in 11 seasons. After an injury sidelined him for most of 2012, Rivera was named at age 43 as the American League's 2013 Comeback Player of the Year—his final season before retirement.
You'll have to wait until next year to see Rivera's commercial, but be on the lookout for a brand new Relaxed Fit ad featuring baseball icon Pete Rose that starts airing later this week!
By the end of summer, SKECHERS will have thrown 20 events with 13 different key accounts, providing more than 97,000 pairs to children in need across the United States so far in 2014. Recent or soon to happen events include Indianapolis seen in the video above with 1,000 pairs donated at the Colts training facility; a huge 27,500 pair donation at the Detroit Zoo; 1,376 pairs in Cumberland, MD; as well as fun events for kids featuring shoe decorating, snacks and more in Sacramento, Jacksonville, and Naples, FL. Additionally, the first international account event was held in Winnipeg, Canada in May with 3,000 pairs donated to kids. All told, over 8.7 million pairs have been donated around the globe since 2011. Make a difference for kids with BOBS!
Can you believe we're past the halfway point of summer? Time flies when you're vacationing and we've been experiencing amazing culture, breathtaking sights, and fun adventures on our travels around the world.

Fun Summer Activities for Kids
Summer has arrived! School's out, so kids everywhere are back home and excited to play and have fun. Of course it doesn't take long before that excitement turns into boredom and a lack of motivation prevents ideas for fresh ways to fill their time. We all know that responsibility always falls on the parents! But never fear! In celebration of the school break, we've put together a short list of some of our favorite activities for kids (and the entire family) to help inspire you through the summer doldrums.
- Have the kids choose a theme for the summer and create a photo album or collage around it. It's a great long-term, ongoing activity and when completed can be cherished as a special keepsake.
- Plan a camping trip in your backyard! Bust out the tents, tell some stories, and foster your kid's love for the outdoors without the need for travel.
- Go to the park! Whether it's to have a picnic or to toss a Frisbee around, the park is both fun and relaxing to visit.
- Start a "small" business. Be it the good ol' fashioned lemonade stand or another creative idea the kids come up with, it will be a great learning experience that they will be proud of.
And don't forget SKECHERS offers the best fun footwear styles for boys and girls that will complement any of these activities. Have any tips of your own to share? Let us know in the comments!

Presentations included product testing and environmental, health, and safety overviews of Cytec's new GELVA® GMR 8020-02 UV Curable PSA, but the theme of the day was innovation, particularly in this time of economic uncertainty. In his keynote address, Steve Stone, vice president of Cytec Performance Chemicals, stressed the need for progress in a slumping economy. "Now is the time to adopt new technology - when you have the time," he said. Martin Court, vice president of R&D at Cytec Specialty Chemicals, echoed this sentiment later with a simple statement: "Innovation is critical to our being."
Attendees had the opportunity to see GELVA GMR 8020-02 in action in laboratory peel and shear tests before moving to the Coatings Hall of Chemsultants' Product and Process Development Center for a live coating demonstration, which featured a 5 mil (125 g/m2) transfer tape coated between two differential release liners at 100 ft/min using a three-bank system of Fusion F-600 UV lamps.
Only time will tell if Cytec has found a game changer in GELVA GMR 8020-02, but if the day's proceedings were any indication, the product appears to embody that spirit of innovation so vital to success.
For more information on Cytec, visit www.cytec.com.
SIDEBAR: Cytec Q&AASI spoke with Cytec's Alex Konya, global marketing director of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives, and Michael Radossich, vice president of Specialty Additives and Pressure Sensitive Adhesives, about the state of the adhesives business - and Cytec's place in it - at the seminar at Chemsultants on Dec. 3. Here's what they had to say.
ASI: How is the PSA market faring in the current economic climate?
Cytec: The chemical industry overall is seeing a downturn in demand. The American Chemistry Council (ACC) recently estimated that global chemical output will increase by 2.2% for 2008, compared with 5.4% growth in the peak year of 2004. The ACC also stated that output growth is estimated at only 1.5% in 2009.*
ASI: What products are doing well? What products are not?
Cytec: As a diversified provider of PSA products, we see an overall softness in many of the markets and segments that we serve as a result of the economic environment, including labels, tapes, and graphics.
ASI: Which end-use markets are seeing steady or increased growth, and which are suffering?
Cytec: For the overall chemical market, the products that support the new and stricter environmental regulations will continue to see demand. For the PSA marketplace, UV PSAs are the best way to accommodate these new regulations, through lower VOC emissions.
ASI: What benefits does your new product, GELVA GMR 8020-02, offer manufacturers?
Cytec: GELVA GMR 8020-02 offers a low-VOC formulation that enables tape manufacturers to be competitive in markets where solvent-based PSA products are not practical. This is the first in a long line of low-VOC products that will offer 100%-solids, UV-curable PSA appropriate for high-performance thick deposition tapes.
ASI: What challenges do formulators currently face?
Cytec: Increased environmental regulations require formulators to seek low-VOC alternatives. As global regulatory issues keep changing, formulators are required to constantly re-work products, which has become more difficult since newer raw materials may not be globally available or registered in every region. Cytec's 100%-solid, ultra-high-performance, UV-curable PSAs can help formulators meet these new regulations.

That is beautiful.
O/k-ish up to the third move (although I first tried moving the knight to f4) & then had to stare at this position for some time before the solution came to me - brilliant !
Enormous admiration for any player who can pull that off
But who on earth was Perlaska ?? There's no entry in Chessgames for either player & I drew a blank on Google - but I did find this...
So now the irrelevant & inane comments of the 'first-pagers' are leaking out into the wider world - It's depressing !
very cool
I got this one in the Tactics Trainer a couple of days ago. :)
good one
that was awesome.....i solve the problem without showing problems...yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1Please be relevant, helpful & nice!
Well, that wasn't too easy, but still, I got it on my first try.
Nlce puzzle.Thank's,missed some move's,good job whoever created this puzzlw
I thought this one was tough.

I'm curious if I should wait for the Gear 2 though, anyone have an idea when that's supposed to be released, or even announced?
Also how close to a standalone Android device can this be? I saw a thread on running Netflix on it for example, that's pretty incredible. When I make a phone call does the watch have a microphone and speaker, can I leave my phone in my pocket and talk/listen thru the gear?

Freezer Labels
For years I have used Tupperware labels which peeled off excellently as long as they were removed quickly after leaving the freezer. Now they don't seem to be making them anymore. Sigh. So annoying.
Sooo I'm on the hunt for a substitute (other than masking tape) and wonder what you folks might recommend. I will be going to your wonderful country reasonably soon so even if the product isn't avail in Canada, if I have a bit of heads up, I can order and retrieve same.
Please - if anyone has lables useful for freezer labelling for both ziplock type bags and for containers, I would surely appreciate it if you would share.
Thanks so much,
Laminated P-Touch labels (by Brother) are fabulous for freezer use (or any!). They won't come off, can be sent through the dishwasher (still on the container) but will peel off and can be reused on other containers as you decide. Labels will stick to pretty much anything.
You choose your labeling machine (they have tons!) by what width tape you want - most common is 1/2 inch, but 1 inch is very useful too.
I agree with Jessica on the Laminated P-Touch. Shamefully I have 3 label machines to support my anal habits.
Everytime I say to self "self, you will remember what's in this container" I disappoint myself in the end. Perhaps I take freezer labeling to another level as I keep like things together.

Depression Glass
How do you identify such?
Thanks a bunch.
Wow!!!! That's a little like saying how do you know a plate when you see it.
Best get thee to a web site where you can familiarize your self with the types of depression glass.....then to a couple of shops where you can perhaps find someone who will point out the differences between a repro and the real thing. But you won't find a repro in anything but the big expensive items like a covered cookie jar.
There is the pale colored glass available in sets....with glasses plates cups and serving pieces. Then there is the kitchen stuff like Fire King and some uranium glass even, and the deep solid colors like ruby red and cobalt blue and the opalescent hobnail stuff....and the elegant depressinn glass stuff....
Just wade in and learn....
Here is a link that might be useful: depression glass
Okm Then Linda, here's an easy one:
How long is a piece of string (smile).
Actually, I should have asked if there were any markings of any kind on them, We have two bowls that look like depression glass, but aren't sure. They don't have any identification marks on'em.
One is sort of clear gold. It looks like depression era glass on the outside, but the inside is slick as "glass".
Same thing on the other one, except it changes colors as you move it.
They are probably just serving bowls.
Domo Arigato.
Konichiwa....which is about all the Japanese I can think of.
That stuff that was made in dinner sets and given away in theaters etc, and was pale gold, pale blue, pale pink and pale amber as well as clear was cheaply made and the pattern wouldn't show on the inside.
Not much depression stuff was marked but for the "good stuff" like Hiesey and some Northwood and of course Fire King and some Anchor Hocking pieces.
There was also a lot of "iridescent glass" not the good ole carnival glass, but just slightly iridescent that was sold in the 1960's in places like Woolworth's.
Pictures area good thing!

This is one of the best 3* hotels I've ever been to. Staff was VERY friendly. Room was clean and spacious (no. 7). Breakfast was delicious with variety of food to choose from.
