White Cabinets & Trim Dilemma - What to do now?
First let me say, I have no idea how we didn't anticipate this, as looking back it seems incredibly obvious. All the trim in our house is Behr Polar Bear White. Very crisp, very white. For the kitchen cabinets we were nervous it would be TOO white, too stark, so decided to go with something "warmer". Enter BM White Dove. Samples looked great.
However, looking at it all up a few days later, we are struck by how cream the white dove looks in our kitchen, and how it is exacerbated by the brightness of the polar bear which is right next to it, given the open floor plan.
Firstly (and most noticeably) because of the double pocket doors (leading to the dining room) but also because of the trim of the opening leading into the den. From some angles the cabinets look really dingy in comparison
We're trying to figure out what our options are. Should we:
(1) re-paint the cabinets polar bear white to match all the trim (2) re-paint all doors and trim in the kitchen to match the white dove, so the only area that will clash will be from the den looking into the living room
(3) paint all trim the polar bear white- since the cabinets go to the ceiling, the whites will be right next to each other. I'm worried it will make the cabinets look more dingy but it is the least expensive option.
Appreciate all feedback. We feel like we really mucked this one up.
At the top of your cabinets because their is no break... It already the darker tone. So my advice ...and heck if I go by rules... But what if you pulled the really white all the way across the top trim? And painted the door that stands out so white the color of the cabinets? Me Iam just thinking the quickest fix.
But others who Iam sure know the design rules will chime in.
I hate my bright white door my kitchen... Hate it..it gets so dirty. Just a thought...
The colors are fine. The problem is where the two meet doesn't look deliberate enough. Problem #1 is it's the exact same profile. If it were different, it would be fine with the white dieing into the cabinet molding. Problem #2 is that there is no "stop" between the two. A molding return, or plinth block would have worked here to make the two distinct. And I apologize, but I can't find the exact right picture to show you exactly what I mean here.
Two different size crown moldings.
Two different ones with a molding return.
See how they did the outcorner on these cabinets with the pillar?
See how they used a pinth here to separate two different runs of molding?
I think there are a couple of solutions here.
You could take the cabinet molding and start a molding return where the filler begins on the tall cabinet. That would give it a more deliberate stop to the eye. That would be my first choice.
You can increase the size of the room molding by adding a piece under it to make it more complex. That would give it a deliberate height and color difference that would read better. This is my second choice for a fix.
You can repaint just the cabinet moulding to carry the white across the cream cabinets. That would work if you were doing an all white kitchen with different shades of white, but won't work with your gray walls. You'd need a different tint of white for the wall, or maybe even a light tan or yellow. This would be my third choice.
Or you could just repaint the room molding to match the cabinets. Of all the solutions, this is the one I like the least as I think that doing that will make the room seem subtly "off" from the rest of the house and visitors won't quite be able to put their finger on why it feels off.
I LIKE the contrast between the two whites and so all I would do is paint the crown molding above the cabinets polar bear white. I think the reason why it seems jarring to you is because those are the only colors in the room, but once the floor and backsplash and countertop are in place, the contrasting whites will become part of the whole design. I think it will look very nice!
Ok, well mistakes happen. I do agree, however, that something needs to be done. Nothing is irreparable, so the question is what's the right balance between cost and benefit.
First, let me say I really like the White Dove on the cabinets. It's soft and looks great with the wood on your island (which is beautiful), and it coordinates very well (on my computer screen) with the color of your kitchen and den walls (are they the same color?). So if I were in your place, I'd keep the cabinets as they are and paint all the trim, both in the kitchen and in the adjoining rooms, in White Dove, or if that's too dark for you, then in a shade or two lighter but in the same family as White Dove. The problem with whites is they all have different undertones -- yellow, pink, blue, green, etc. -- and you need to coordinate the undertone with all your other colors.
I would also -- if you'll allow me the presumption -- consider refinishing the pocket doors to be the same, or a close match, to the wood finish of your island. That would break up the white everywhere else and provide a contrast with the trim. Of course, your counter top and back splash (if any) will provide contrast in the kitchen area as well. If you don't want the doors to be a wood finish, then you might paint them a shade or two lighter or darker than the White Dove, but in the same family, so they have some contrast with the trim.
What are your other colors in the kitchen, as well as the den and dining room?
Thanks for the feedback. We were so confused on this, we sent a note to our architect (who is also a designer but we didn't quite have the budget to hire him through every stage). His response (this is a direct quote): "Hi, I think White Dove is definitely too creamy for your cabinets. The cabinets should match your crown, trim, and doors. I would go ahead and paint the crown above and the cabinets polar bear."
*gulp* Are there rules on matching?
I love your White Dove cabinets! And I'm with jerzeegirl -- I like the different whites together, and painting the crown above the cabs would make it look intentional to my eye. Not too matchy-matchy. I've got a finish on my cabinets called "ivory cream", and I'm very much on purpose not matching the trim. It'll be much whiter. I want a soft backsplash in white/cream tones and that'll help pull it all together. Good luck!
barbaranh - the kitchen and den are the same color SW Repose Grey, the dining room is also grey (although a little greener grey. The backsplash is a deeper grey glass tile. I suppose they are probably a little on the "cooler side". My thought with the white dove, was to avoid the kitchen looking "cold". If that makes any sense.
Honestly I think either white looks fine with the paint colors. Just unfortunately not with each other.
You can really see the difference in that second picture. I'd experiment with painting the trim before I even considered repainting the cabinets, especially if you really like the cabinets in White Dove (which I do, btw). I think you have to paint the trim around the top White Dove, because it touches the cabs. (The colors are too similar to look like you meant to do two different colors.) Therefore, I'm thinking you'll have to paint the rest of the trim in that room (including pocket doors) White Dove. I like barbaranh's idea of maybe painting the trim in the room next door, a lighter shade of White Dove, to sort of be a bridge from that room to the rest of the house. I'm hoping a transition of whites might make the difference not so obvious. (It might be fun to give the pocket doors a coordinating color that's totally different than white.) So far, it's looking like a Beautiful space (capital B)!
I vote painting the trim above the cabinets Polar Bear-I think it will tie everything in and make the cabinets shine on their own. Instead of thinking of the cabinets as a shade of white, think of "Dove" as being it's own color and such a nice contrast at that.
I agree with your architect. However, if re-painting the cabinets is too daunting and expensive, I vote to paint the other doors and trim in White Dove...hmm...except I also think White Dove isn't striking enough with your current wall color. The Polar Bear looks very sharp with the current wall color, so I'm not quite picturing White Dove as a coordinating trim color. If you need to live with it as is, maybe try one of the above ideas to make the different whites look more deliberate.
And yes, mistakes happen. My mother just finished her kitchen remodel, and we didn't realize until after they'd painted all the upstairs trim and doors in BM Mascarpone that it looked yellowish next to her stark white cabinets. Next round of painting, they'll probably pick a whiter white, but for now, she's decided she can live with it. LOL I'm not much help, am I? Only you know what you can live with and how much more time and money you want to invest, though.
My immediate thought was to paint the trim the whiter white -- I think they are different enough whites - continue to make it look intentional.
If that doesn't quite do the trick for you, my next thought was to look at the wall color. Perhaps there is a wall color that could be more complimentary to both whites.
I don't know if this confuses things more but here is another picture from a different angle.
This is the view from behind the island. The header to the right is the entry to the den. Unfortunately I think it looks worse from this view.
I'm going to try photoshopping some of the options offered to see if it comes up with something we can live with. The painter my GC uses is a bit expensive, so it is definitely weighing into this decision.
I vote to repaint the trim & doors on the kitchen side to match the cabinets. While the polar bear white is really crisp on the trim, I think it will be WAAAY too much stark white with the all the perimeter kitchen cabs matching. It's also alot easier to paint the trim, open the pocket doors and take a look at the results. This can be easily be done DIY saving a lot of $$$. Then if you like what you see, you can tackle painting the pocket doors. If you don't like what you see, then consider repainting the cabs.
Just my $0.02.
I had a similar issue, except my trim is white dove and my cabinet color is marshmallow, which is a little whiter and doesn't have the grey undertones of white dove. I ending up having the paint store color match the cabinet colors and painted the trim in my kitchen and dining room marshmallow. I left the rest of the trim in the house white dove. The transition in the trim color between rooms is barely noticeable.
Jm, I have no experience, knowledge, or know how for any advice, but I can tell you what I would SEE when walking in to your kitchen. It looks well enough defined to me to be a separate room. Most houses nowadays seem to have the "no wood" on the openings between rooms, just sheet-rock or arched doorway without the wood break.
So, to me, it would seem to look better the kitchen all painted the white dove, and would look completely separate and of its own. I don't like the crown above the cabinets painted a different color. Do you like the clean look of the cabinets going to the ceiling? The trim would break off that look and shorten the cabinet look.
Also, the wall color on my monitor reads like it is not helping in the clash of the two whites. All three colors look like a light color in different tones. Kind of gray, yellow, and white.
I LOVE your door trim. When you get this dilemma figured out, I would love to see how it was done!
Good luck, there's nothing like color drunk. That is what I'm in right now.
I ran into the same problem with White Dove when looking at it my kitchen. It looked dingy greenish gray near true whites. And Polar Bear is very white. We used it previously on all the trim in the house and in the hall bathroom, where it still lives. (The only room in the house we didn't touch in the reno...yet.)
I think your best bet is to paint the trim/doors in the kitchen to match the cabs; however, I agree with others that WD doesn't look great with the Repose Gray walls. How about repainting the walls also? That is something DIYable to save money.
Thanks for all the feedback! We are getting a couple of options quoted:
- paint all the kitchen trim white dove. If we do this I really do agree we need to change the wall color as well. Any color suggestions?
2) repaint the cabs polar bear white. I get queasy just thinking about what that will cost. We're hoping since we just got so much painting done (all exterior brick plus about 50% of the interior walls and trim) that they might give us a break. But we'll see.
While i love the white dove, im leaning towards repainting in polar bear (if the cost can be contained). We're doing cambria Newport countertops, which look a bit "off" (maybe too cool ) with the white dove
We must be living parallel lives! We're experiencing the same dilemma right now. My cabinet maker has offered to repaint everything at a discount, but right now, I'm trying to live with the color difference (and these "whites" were supposedly color-matched the same!) We've decided to paint all the trim above the cabinets to match them, and leave the window trim and adjacent crown mold the whiter white. Hopefully, it will work. Otherwise, I think I maybe doing what you're contemplating--repainting the cabinets. UGH.
Here's a link to a kitchen with White Dove cabinets, very white tile behind the range, and marble countertops, which are a greyish white with other shades of gray (like your Cambria Newport?)
It's gorgeous. All the trim, plus the ceiling, are White Dove. The grayish-white counter and white tile offset the rest, and the floors provide contrast. What are your floors, BTW?
Have you seen your countertop color and cabinet color together in the same room in daylight? Also, here's a thread about White Dove, with pics.
The cabinet color is beautiful. The color looks really nice with the stained dark pieces. I do not think the two whites look like a mistake. My kitchen has two different whites and it was done by an interior designer. My trim is whiter than my cabinets.
If you must paint the trim, then that's what I would do but I would not paint those beautiful cabinets.
Lovely kitchen! We have the same issue in our current kitch. We used a plinth block to separate the trim in the meet up corner and it looks fine. This seems glaring now only because nothing else is in the kitchen. Counters and BS will tie it all together.
I would consider first painting the trim WD in the kitch only, this keeps costs down, and staining the doors to match the island. In fact if it were my kitchen I'd do that anyway. Those big white doors distract from your really beauiful cabinetry. Are the doors to be closed most often? Then this is also a non issue.
I disagree with your architect/designer, sometimes everything too matchy-matchy just doesnt do well.
All that leads me to: is the WD the best color for this kitchen given the light in the room. Window light, lighting isnt in yet? and time of day all play into color.
Your finished room will look quite different with all the colors involved plus accessories.
I certainly wouldnt pay thousands extra to change out the cabinet color at this stage. YMMV
everything in the kitchen dove white. Keep the polar bear for the other rooms.
I can sort of visualize that as being the most pleasant, short of repainting everything.
The trims are both white, so it's only a big visual difference when they're close together. By keeping them in separate rooms, i think you minimize the contrast. There will still be a small contrast, but I bet you will stop noticing it after you're settled in.
I totally agree with Hollysprings. I think the colors will be fine once you've given the molding over the cabinets someplace to die into. Truthfully, I think it would look awful if you painted the trim above the cabinets Polar Bear. I love the continuity of having all the trim in the house the same color. If you do what Hollysprings suggests, I think the two whites you have will just fine together once the kitchen is done and filled with your things and you have something else to look at.
Hi jmcreque,
I was really hoping to read a follow up from you as I may be going through the same thing you did. We have white (I think it's Dunn Edwards Swiss Coffee) for our molding and plantation shutters in the kitchen. We have been told by a few people to do our cabinets a creamier white....but I'm now scared that perhaps that isn't the right thing to do. :-/ Any follow up and pictures from you would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :-)
Hi there, coming in late in this thread. Getting close to a kitchen/family room remodel and here is our problem - cabinets are BM white dove, and I selected that for the ceiling and trim. BUT, once the paint went on the trim, where the door trim is close to the cabinets, there is a huge difference in the whites. The painters stopped working today, and I actually thought that the white they were using was mixed wrong. After reading posts, I now think that BM White Dove is much more creamy than the swatches I have. So, I think we are going to leave the ceiling color as is (kitchen, family room, dining room and living room and hallway ceilings were just painted), and repaint the trim by using a sample of the cabinet for color, instead of going by just the name. The cabinets also have a clear coat over the paint, so I don't know if that is the reason, but the same color paint on the cabinets and trim look very different.
Any other suggestions, I'd be grateful for.

Right now, our choices for excursions are the following:
Skagway -- Alaska Nature & Wildlife Expedition
Juneau --- Whale Watching and Orca Point Lodge, or the alternative is to take the Whale Watching & Wildlife Quest as well as the Tram to Mount Roberts
Any suggestions, tips, etc are greatly appreciated!!!

This is going to be one of those "stories with a lesson" posts.
The story is about people freezing to death in Antarctica, and the
lesson is about the power of the Kidney in Traditional Chinese
Medicine. Here goes.
Last night as I put my four-year-old son to bed, he pointed up
to one the maps hanging in his room (we're big map people at my
house) and said, "What's that big one at the bottom called again?"
"Antarctica," I answered. "It's really cold there, and people
really don't go to that continent." His eyes grew wide and as he
tried to gauge my seriousness. "Ever?" he asked? "Well," I said,
trying to tuck him in and get on with the bedtime process, "a group
of men did go there to explore, but they all died."
As soon as the words left my lips, the following stream of
thoughts flew through my head: Why would I tell my four-year-old a
scary story as he's drifting off to sleep? OMG, he's totally going
to have nightmares about explorers dying on an icy island now.
He's going to be so scared that he'll pee the bed. No, he
never pees the bed. He's been potty trained for almost two full
years and he's almost never had an accident since. He'll be fine.
It'll be fine. OMG what if he has nightmares and pees the bed?
"How'd they die?" He interrupts my runaway train of thought with
a valid question. "Um, well, they froze to death after they reached
the South Pole." "THEY ALL FROZE TO DEATH?" He was clearly
perturbed by this, and there again went my self-chastising mental
barrage of silent promises never to start a scary historical
account with a child at bedtime. "Yes, but that was a long time ago
and now people know what to pack and wear when they go exploring
there so that they can make it back out. We're never going to go
there, and you will never be that cold, OK buddy?" He honestly
didn't seem worried, so I changed the subject, chatted it up about
wondering what the new child of the week was going to bring for
snack at school tomorrow.
I went to bed truly thinking he wasn't too scared and would
probably get through the night fine. He's not prone to nightmares,
he never wakes up during the night, and everything will be fine.
OK. In the middle of the night, I hear the thing every parent
dreads, "Mommy... I peed the bed." Now, pay attention. Here's where
the real lesson of the day starts. "It's OK, buddy, I'm coming," I
said in a totally calm and nice voice. I walk into his room, and
he's standing on his bed, already taking off his jammies. I did the
distinguishing but true parent move next, which is where you
cautiously run your hand over the sheet to see how bad the damage
was. "It was just a little," he said. True story. So I sent him
into the bathroom to pee out the rest of what he still had in the
bladder, while I did the presto chango with his bedding.
Five minutes later, we're both back in bed, calm, and headed off
to dream land. I start mentally processing what just happened. I
told a story about a group of explorers freezing to death in a
faraway land to a kid who never pees the bed, and that kid peed the
bed. Just a few drops, mind you, but he peed the bed. What
happened? I scared the pee out of him. In mainstream western
society, there's one way of looking at peeing the bed. In TCM,
there's a different way of looking at things.
I'm going to lay some heavy TCM theory on you, but just for a
minute. The Kidney controls the Urinary Bladder, and the Kidney is
most impacted by the emotions of Fear and Fright. When an adult is
truly and thoroughly scared (Think: getting held up by gunpoint in
an alley), it's not unheard of for said adult to pee his pants,
right? Well, when a kid is afraid, he's much more likely to pee the
bed at night. There's more to the theory, of course, because TCM is
always simple but complex, complex but simple; however, you get the
basic mechanism.
My son was briefly scared
by a torturous historically accurate bedtime story; he peed. He's a
healthy, well-adjusted kid, and I'm almost positive that he'll be
fully recovered from this mini-trauma and we won't be in the same
urine boat tonight. On the other hand, kids who live in fear
often pee the bed on and off for years. This makes complete
sense in TCM, although it leaves many westerners in the dark. In
fact, many people tend to make this situation much worse by shaming
the child, yelling and insulting him when it happens.
"What are you, a baby?" "What would your friends think if I told
them you peed the bed?" Etc., etc., etc. This happens. My heart is
pulled back to a story in the Peoria newspaper a couple of years
back, covering a boy about eight years old who died of dehydration
because his parents wouldn't let him drink anything for over three
days, to try to prevent him from peeing the bed anymore. Any doubt
in your mind that he lived in fear almost constantly, from that
situation and likely many other abuses going on?
In case it's not clear yet, the lesson today is to never, ever
shame a kid for peeing the bed. If that kid is afraid that you'll
be disappointed, angry, irritated, or ashamed of him for peeing the
bed, then he's stuck in the unfortunate cycle of fear perpetuating
the problem. I know it sucks to get out of your warm bed at 3 a.m.
to change sheets and pajamas and wipe down a peed-up kid, but
please just do it with a smile on your face. Give the kid a cuddle,
and tell them it's OK and that everyone has an accident from time
to time. Trust me, you're doing you both a favor.
Adiós, slow roasted sweet potatoes and beef. Hello,
green onions! Although the calendar says spring doesn't officially
start until March 20th on the Spring Equinox, we all felt the shift
about a week ago. I'm not just talking about the temperature moving
from 35º to 55º in two days, although that was awesome, too. When
the seasons change, everything changes. If you are remotely in tune
with your body, the earth, the energy of the universe, etc., then
you felt it, too.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the concept of the Five
Elements or Phases shows that each season is connected to one of
the functional organ systems of the body. Winter is the kidney and
spring is the liver. Easy enough, right? Well, there's more. The
body needs to be prepared gently and thoroughly for the transition
to a new season, and while acupuncture and herbal medicine
certainly play their role, dietary therapy is really where it's
The winter was a time of hunkering down, tonifying the kidney
and urinary bladder with salt and animal fats, thickening the
blood, and conserving energy through the cold long season. Now that
spring is upon us, it's time to lighten up -- literally. The
Inner Classic teaches that we should reawaken the body and
prepare for new beginnings by rising with the sun and taking brisk
walks. Spring is the time to gather up stored energy and push
upward, like a sprouting plant in the garden.
Spring is also a time for cleansing, and TCM focuses that
cleansing on the organs that need it most this time of year -- the
liver and gall bladder. After gorging on fatty steaks in the
winter, the springtime requires a diet of small amounts of light
food with yang qualities. Think sprouts, greens, young plants, and
shoots. Heavy foods can clog the liver and gall bladder, leading to
fevers and other springtime maladies.
Want specifics? Lay off the salt -- including soy sauce and miso
-- and heavy meats. Instead, cook with something lighter, bringing
in the pungent flavors of basil, fennel, marjoram, rosemary,
caraway, dill, and bay leaf. Throw in some young garden pickings
like small beets, carrots, and peas. Use more simple, raw foods
instead of slow roasting or stewing. Both the Ayurvedic tradition
and the ancient Chinese encouraged people to choose wind-like, airy
foods during the springtime, to promote cleansing and new
While the Chinese do not recommend eating raw foods in abundance
or all year round, they do encourage more raw foods in the
springtime. If a person is weak, frail, or deficient, then they
might not do well with raw foods, even during the spring. If a
person is hot and full of excesses, then bring on the plates full
of raw celery and cucumbers. As with everything, dietary
recommendations are guided by general principles, but are always
customized to the individual.
In the United States, our climate is mostly temperate. Thus, we
can apply most of the dietary suggestions from TCM, including the
use of light, raw foods in the springtime. You can still cook some
things -- just make it quick. A short, high-temperature sauté is
appropriate, as is a brief steaming.
Why should you care to adjust your springtime diet? You don't
have to. You can go on shoving your face full of rib eye and baked
potatoes slathered in sour cream and butter (Ohh, I miss the winter
diet already!), but tell me how you feel in about a month or
What's the risk? The liver-gall bladder duo can be quite a
beast. The first sign of an imbalanced liver is angry outbursts,
accompanied by frustration, dissatisfaction, and impulsiveness.
Once the gall bladder gets bogged down, too, then add in
indecisiveness and unclear thinking. You might experience eye or
vision trouble or tendon stiffness and joint pain, or pain or
discomfort anywhere along the Liver or Gall Bladder meridians of
the body.
I know it's hard to change. I love salt, steak, and butter more
than anyone I've ever met, but I've also learned my lesson. I've
clogged my liver and gall bladder one too many times. I've had the
blurry vision, sticky feeling in the eyes, bitter taste in the
mouth, angry outbursts, and all of the other things the Chinese
warned me about.
This week, I'm doing this -- the TCM Gallbladder cleanse!
I'm not going to say you should drink milk, and I'm not going to
say you shouldn't drink milk, but I am going to say some things
about drinking milk. In my house, we have to specify "cow's milk"
for a discussion like this one, because we also stock a decent
rotation of rice milk, almond milk, coconut milk, and even soy milk
on occasion. I really don't like any of that stuff, but somewhere
along the way my kids and husband took a shining to them. So, now I
buy like five milks, most of which aren't milk at all, but "drinks"
of sorts. OK.
Today let's focus on the
gold standard of milk -- cow's milk. You know, the good ole white
jug. It's the perfect food...for calves. Is it also the perfect
food, or even an acceptable food, for humans? Do we have a
biological need for the nutritional profile that turns a newborn
calf into a full-grown bull? Kind of sounds ridiculous when you
think about it, doesn't it? When your cat has a baby, do you pump
some extra human breast milk and give it to the kitten just for
good measure? Oh, so now it sounds preposterous?
Drinking milk seems to be one of those things that people just
do out of habit. Your mom gave you a glass of milk with dinner. (I
know grown men who still want a glass of milk with Thanksgiving
dinner.) Your elementary school plopped that cute little missing
persons carton on your lunch tray every day. You pour it on your
cereal, and you probably grew up to do the same when you had your
own children. We're propagating a vicious cycle of humans drinking
cow's milk here, people. If you're not part of the solution, you're
part of the problem.
Have you ever asked yourself why? Why do we go from drinking
human breast milk after a year or few to drinking a cow's breast
milk? Do cows do it better? What is happening? Let's let the
ancient Chinese take the wheel for a minute. What properties does
milk have according to TCM?
Hmmmm. The conclusion is, like almost every naturally occurring
food, milk is good for some of the people some of the time. Chinese
medicine doesn't usually make blanket statements like "X food is
always good for you" or "Y food is always bad for everyone."
Instead, TCM shows us that each food has a set of properties,
making each food the right choice or the wrong choice for a given
person at a given time, depending on that individual's condition. A
dry, hot, thin person with a red tongue and rapid pulse might be
well nourished and moistened by a cool glass of milk. On the other
hand, a damp-retaining person with too much phlegm already might
want to stay away from milk most of the time.
What do I think? Again, I'm not here to tell anyone they should
or should not drink cow's milk. I will go ahead and share some of
the concerns that I find most important to consider when deciding
whether or not to reach for the white jug.
First, why are you drinking milk? Are you looking for protein,
calcium, Vitamin D or Vitamin A? Then I hope you're
drinkingwholemilk. Skim or reduced-fat milk might show high daily
values of these nutrients on the label, but without the naturally
occurring fat still present, your body cannot effectively absorb
and utilize the protein, calcium, Vitamin A or Vitamin D. You're
drinking it in, and you're peeing it out. Congratulations on that
very expensive urine.
Milk is certainly not the only place to obtain these nutrients,
but if these are the reasons you're drinking the milk, and you're
drinking skim milk, then do yourself a favor and don't bother! If
you simply love the texture of white water, I mean skim milk, then
go ahead and gulp it down. Just remember that you aren't netting
those nutrients listed on the label. In case your mind isn't blown
yet, go ahead and apply the same rules to all dairy. Low fat
cheese? Fat free yogurt? I hope you're eating it because you love
the taste, not because you're looking to effectively digest,
absorb, and utilize those nutrients.
Do I drink cow's milk? Not
really. Door to Door Organics delivers a white jug of organic whole
fat milk to my house every other week, and it gets used. My kids
drink a glass every other day or so, and my husband pours it on his
cereal -- not that we eat much cereal. Did anyone else see the
cover of Bloomberg Business last week? Yum, my cereal is
55% GMO sugar! I always wanted to start my day with a piece of cake
as a kid...little did I know, I was!

Let's start at the beginning. Once Dr. Cai taught us about the
medicinal properties of coffee, I realized I should probably try to
stop drinking so much of it. Like every other food, spice, or
antler in the TCM materia medica, coffee has a
temperature, a flavor, and a set of therapeutic actions.
I'm not saying coffee is bad or that you or I should stop
drinking it, although I will add here that I've heard Dr. Cai
suggest that to many patients in the clinic. Slow down, I'm not
ready. Mama needs her coffee in the morning. Why should I cut down?
Well, according to TCM, coffee has the following properties:
Flavor: Bitter, slightly sweet
Temperature: Warm
Actions: Freecourses stagnated qi, particularly
liver qi. Purges the gallbladder. Warms and moves blood. Opens
heart orifices. Tonifies qi, particularly spleen qi. Drains
Keep in mind these properties are
referring to the roasted coffee bean; the green bean and the red
berry have distinct characteristics and actions. Also, the general
dosage of coffee as an herb in traditional Chinese medicine is
around 1-3 cups of prepared coffee. Not giant mugs, people...actual
measurement cups. One of the principles of TCM is to treat the
individual at the time, meaning that there are almost no blanket
statements such as, "Coffee is bad for everyone," or "I can have 3
cups of coffee daily and that's fine."
Instead, we see the person as a unique manifestation of qi and
blood at a given moment. Your condition or diagnosis is likely to
change from day to day or year to year, meaning that your
acupuncture, herbal, and dietary treatments should change
accordingly. If I'm cold, irritable, and retaining dampness, then
bring on the coffee! But if, in the next month, I have constrained
heat from liver qi stagnation, yin deficiency, and my fluids are
drying up, then keep that coffee out of my shriveled hands.
What's an addicted girl to
do? Well, I have to find something else to fill the void of coffee
every day, or at least on the days or weeks when I know I need the
extra energy and stamina boost. Enter, Mito2Max, a supplement that
is described as an "energy and stamina complex," and "a healthy
long-term alternative to caffeinated drinks and supplements for
increased energy and vitality." Well, all right. Now we're talking.
I read on...it "supports healthy mitochondrial function and aerobic
capacity and improves stamina naturally without the use of harmful
That's good enough for me to give it a try. I start popping two
in the morning and two in the afternoon. On the second day, I'm
practically bouncing around my house, talking nonstop. OK, let's
cut down to one a day. That's better. I don't know what's happening
yet -- I'm just loving my "plant extracts and metabolic cofactors,"
without really thinking about it too hard. Who has time to analyze
the ingredients in a supplement when you're jumping around like
Mario on the Super Nintendo Game Genie (remember those awesome
cheat codes)?
This week I decided I should probably read the label and see
what's happening here. What do you know? Mito2Max is basically a
bunch of Chinese herbs! The blend contains dong chong xia cao
(cordyceps sinensis), ren shen (Panax ginseng), bai guo (Gingko
biloba), and ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). Yes, I realize these
are "other people's" herbs, too, but this is an Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine blog, so I'm claiming them today. (Other
ingredients include: Acetyl-l carnitine HCI, Alpha-Lipoic acid,
Coenzyme Q10, and Quercetin dihydrate, but we're not talking about
them today.)
Let's look at the properties of these herbs and see why I'm
bouncing off the walls.
What could the two possibly have in common? No, you guess first.
Something to do with swords? Nope. OK, I'll tell you.
I was cooking dinner last night, and
the recipe did not call for celery. I had a flash memory
of a friend on Facebook posting that she added a bunch of random
things to the granola she was making that day, because she wanted
to clean out her pantry. I've been there. Two handfuls of raisins
kicking around in the bottom of the snack pantry (in a container -
I'm not that gross)...about a tablespoon of crushed pecans that
I'll save for years rather than throw out -- come on, those things
are expensive! Into the granola they go....
There I am, cooking dinner, the dinner that did not
call for celery. This is about to relate to acupuncture, just wait
for it. I look into the fridge and notice I have two giant packs of
celery from the previous two weeks. My son had been on a celery
kick for months, inhaling several stalks per day, and of course he
suddenly hated it as soon as I stocked up. "I'll just chop some up
and toss it into the pan with the onions and garlic I'm sautéing
for the stuffed peppers recipe." Boom. In it goes.
No harm done, right? Maybe.... In the
Traditional Chinese Medicine branch called Dietary Therapy, we
learn the nature and properties of foods from kelp to congee and
oats to oranges. Here's the medicinal profile for celery according
to TCM: cooling, sweet, slightly bitter, benefitting the stomach
and spleen, calming an irritated liver, improving digestion, drying
dampness, purifying the blood, reducing nervousness and vertigo,
clearing heat from the eyes, urine and mouth, and relieving
headaches caused by stomach heat and stagnated liver qi (Pitchford,
2002, p. 539).
That would have been fine. Even if you didn't understand most of
that, trust me, it would have been fine. Who doesn't have some
stomach heat and stagnated liver qi these days! Then, as quickly as
I tossed the chopped celery into the recipe that didn't call
for it, I heard Dr. Zhu's voice in my head, reminding us that
we cannot just throw in some extra needles just because we
opened a 10-pack!
What's the big deal about haphazardly
adding things in after the recipe (yes, we could call an
acupuncture point prescription a "recipe")?
As Dr. Zhu explained, the point prescription is just that -- a
prescription. You should take it seriously and respect the balance
and harmony of the points that are working together. There are
master-couple points in there; I saw a guest-host thing going on. I
know she's tonifying the mother and sedating the child on the Lung
channel. Someone said "extraordinary." Seems like it's getting
crazy, but really it's not. It's very calculated...complete and
time you find yourself in the kitchen with some extra celery to use
up, are you going to throw it into the pan when the recipe doesn't
call for it? Maybe... But, the next time you acupuncture interns
find yourselves in rooms full of open packs of needles, I hope you
do the right thing and leave them on the clean field instead of
just adding in the 3 extra opened needles. Just don't tell Dr. Kim--he
does not like wasted needles!'

Managed Service Providers – Why Use Them?
In simple terms, a managed service provider is a contractor; usually a third party who involve themselves in delivering applications and equipment that are network-based to residences and enterprises. This means that they can either play the hosting role or be an access provider, offering services that are related to IT. These services may include messaging, IP telephony, management of call centers, management of firewalls, virtual private networks and reporting network servers. The services listed above can be carried outside the internal network of a company. When this is the case, emphasis is given on certification and integration of the contents and applications of internet security.
In the modern world where technology is fully advanced, managed service providers play a crucial role by acting as agents of outsourcing for companies. This is especially the case with service providers that do not have enough resources to upgrade and maintain their computer networks on a constant and regular basis. Service providers such as ISPs have greatly benefited in that through outsourcing, they are able to maintain fast networks.
Managed service providers play a crucial role in technology. Apart from the services dealing with basic communications, the managed service providers liase with frame relay service and wide area networks (WAN). When this is the case, managed service providers get the ability to manage a number of activities that are associated with networks of enterprises such as cloud storage. This is a very important aspect in the modern day technology.
Currently, the managed service providers can also be known as management service providers. This is contrary to the past whereby management service providers was a term used in describing the services related to infrastructure that were always delivered on upon subscription. After cloud computing was introduced, management service providers and management service providers became one and similar thing.

Which Today programme presenter reportedly said he wants to "upset" more people?
Dead easy.
John Humphrys surely?
Well, no actually.
Step forward Mr Nice-Guy himself, the ever courteous Justin Webb, widely admired by many Feedback listeners for the way he doesn't interrupt every few seconds. Naturally he appreciates the admiration but he's gone public in his admission to up the ante with harder interviews and interruptions.
In Feedback this week I ruthlessly cross examine Mr Webb about this apparent change of heart, interrupting him frequently and insisting he answers my questions. I also put to him some of the embarrassing emails from listeners who were delighted when the Today programme was taken off-air as a result of the recent National Union of Journalists' strike and replaced by birdsong from The Wash.
How did Mr Webb respond to my aggressive questioning? Did he fight fire with fire? Do you care about interviewing style?
Roger Bolton is the ever so polite and inoffensive presenter of Feedback.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
Join the discussion...
I would not describe the interview as aggressive, but as "properly pressed"! Justin Webb made good use of laughter and came across as a friendly and relaxed sort of person. More gentle warmth than fire, but no real way of measuring core temperature.
I agree with what he said: interviewees who come to the studio with a rehearsed script and who consistently refuse to answer questions directly are time-wasters who should be interrupted. It can be infuriating when politicians evade questions and simply point out the iniquities of the other side, or just keep repeating one or two sound bites. In fact I think Today should publish on the web each week a list of the most inane replies to questions that its presenters receive!
The picture reminds me of a recent interview conducted by Sarah Montague. She was interviewing two people about a weight loss programme. One guest represented a major company that charges people money to help them lose weight, and the other was an expert in nutrition. The former kept trying to plug her company's product, but fortunately Ms Montague was firm and ensured that marketing did not triumph of science. Interviews without interruptions are commercials.
I am a great fan of John Humphries but feel Justin hasn't got the balance right at the moment between getting at the truth and interrupting the answer. This morning on the Today programme (26th Nov) was a good example. To misquote Mr Speaker, I wanted to hear what Vince Cable had to say but Justin interrupted almost every reply which Dr Cable tried to give. So I feel Justin still has some lesson to learn from the Master (JH), but then he has been honing his interviewing skills for a little longer!

Soon, refueling your electric car may be as simple as draining and refilling a tank full of a Gatorade-like solution of electrolytes.
Autoblog has more on the discovery:
A group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology students may have come up with the perfect solution to our electric vehicle charging woes. Instead of relying on lithium or nickel, the new battery design stores its electrons in semi-solid flow cells. Charged particles are suspended in an electrolyte solution and pumped between compartments used for storing or releasing energy. The tech supposedly makes the batteries up to ten times more efficient than their traditional counterparts, and even more importantly, the new tech is cheaper to produce. Estimates say that the design could cut the size and expense of current batteries by as much as 50 percent.

homelite weedeater problem
Having problem with my homelite weedeater. AT fully closed choke, this unit starts, and idles slow. At half open choke the unit runs faster but stalls out if I try to use it to cut, or even just stops itself after about a minute. At fully open choke the unit dies out almost immediately. Air filter is clean. I removed fuel filter, but that changed nothing. Choke is opening and closing normally. took screen cover of carb. and it wasn't chalked at all. Can any one help with some ideas. thanks.
I have repaired some two cycle engines that had the muffler carboned up and was creating too much back pressure to run. Not saying this is your problem, but if the fuel system checks out ok it's something to check out. I recently repaired a Weedeater brand leaf blower that was so carboned up i had to remove the muffler and heat it with a torch to break the carbon loose. Worst case i have ever encountered.
Given the limited information provided it sounds like a classic case of an air leak. While you have it running on half choke spray around the carb to cylinder joint, and the cylinder to case joint, (cylinder base gasket) and case half joints with WD-40. The WD won't hurt anything, and if you have an air leak around the carb it will be sucked in and burn, this will likely cause the engine to slow down or even stall due to running too rich. Ultimately you should try to gain access to the ignition and PTO side crank seals and spray them also with it running. This is a common trick used by off-road motorcycle racing mechaincs on the 2-stroke race bikes. A high idle or an engine that will not run without choke is usually sucking in air leaning it out to the point it will not run unless choked. When the throttle is opened and the carb transfers from the rich idle circuit to the mainjet (usually leaner so it will rev) it will die as an air leak makes it too lean to run on the mainjet.
Just a suggestion.
You need to disassemble and clean your carb, as old fuel
has likely varnished inside, clogging the jets.
Putting in fresh fuel mix and backing off the mixture screws to run it can also work in getting the varnish out.
Run it rich for a while, then readjust, but be careful here, running it too lean will melt the piston.
Carb adjusted too lean or weak diaphrams in carb. (might try high 1/8 turn CCW), carb. gummed up (try disassembing the carb and cleaning it with carb cleaner), vacuum leak Carb mount screws loose, Crank cover screws loose, Jig screws loose), loose spark plug, or dirty spark plug (remove it clean it and check gap), no compression (piston rings stuck or clearances between piston and jig (cylinder head) worn enough to let compressed air/gas mixture to bleed down to the crankcase.
1 to 1 1/4 turns if my memory not clouded. to know for sure goto Http://zamacarb.com/tips.html
This is definitely the gas line to the filter/pickup inside the gas tank.
Mine did the same thing and when I dumped out all the gas I found the gas pickup weighted filter along with a bunch of chunks of the hardened and brittle gas line inside the tank.
That weighted filter is there to pickup gas when the trimmer is upright and the gas tank is sideways.
The trick to fixing it is getting a gas line long enough to go from the hole that is in the tank close to the carburetor and feed all the way out of the cap so you can put the filter on the other end of it.
Pretty Cheap fix as the gas line is available at Home Depot for $3.00. The hard part is getting the filter/weight back on the other end of it inside the tank.
"The hard part is getting the filter/weight back on the other end of it inside the tank. "
Not hard at all. you take a scribe or something with a hook on it and fish it out. sometimes if the hose is not long enough you have to remove it at the carb and slide it down into the tank giving you enough slack to get the filter fished out.
I would replace all the fuel lines when doing this if they look close to being old. replace them or not air is in the system now and starting will be a pain. I aid in this I use carb clean down the carb. venturi as a primer till it takes off from the tank.
The most common problems with these small 2-stroke engines is gummed up carbs. (after checking that all that all the gas lines are good and not cracked & the fuel pick filter is clear) When you let a gas/oil mix set for a while, the gas evaporates and leaves only oil, which clogs up the carb. Secondly is the muffler clogging up, especially on chainsaws. Thirdly, the problem can lie in the compression. A typical 2-stroke engine should read between 60-120 p.s.i. Anything lower than 60 p.s.i. will not create the vacuum necessary for the carb valve diaphragms to work properly. Idle screws should be turned all the way in, then backed out 1 1/4 turn. Although, in my experience (I rebuild these for a living) it seems most times on older machines, the back off point is closer to 1 1/2 to 2 turns out. (Especially on the high idle side).
Hope this helps.
Glen : Welcome to the Forum . Going to put you top the Acid Test . I had a Friend drop of a E-Z Trim Model S-16-3301 /Engine is a 2-Stroke Mitsubishi T-50 . 1st time I have seen one . He complained that that it was hard starting . Its has a What appears Primer to be a Primer that has a Red Rubber Membrane. Also a Tickler on the Bottom of the Carburetor . The car appears to be a Mikuni Slide Clone (Niki) I believe . I cleaned the Mesh / Metallic Fuel Filter out of the tank . All appears good no restriction . I also removed the Main Jet and Low Speed Jets and Cleaned both . Also Cleaned the and checked the Diaphragm(s) both main Impulse and secondary (Tickler) Diaphragm . It ran well but after 15 Minute Test began to miss and finally stalled . I had add fuel cleaner to the Fresh Fuel mix . So I rechecked the plug (new) and it was dry . I disassembled the carb and identified small particles of red rubber within the Diaphragm and Primer circuit body . I check the Main Diapram (tickler) under the carb and also found additional red debis . Apparently the Primer material is breaking down . I have not used the primer , was wondering if it is really needed with the tickler function which has a overflow line which identifies when fuel is present . Anyhow just though I would bounce this one off you since I have never seen a Primer and Tickler Combination , There is no manual choke on this unit . Any help would be appreciated by the Forum Guro's . It's a combination Trimmer and Cutter Blade Straight Shaft Unit . Apparently he picked it up for $5.00 Bucks and dropped it at my Garage this afternoon lol.
Well perseverance pays off , so does Concentrated Fuel Cleaner . I had to remove the Metering Valve Diaphragm multiple times along with the Main Impulse / Primer Diaphragm , due to primer membrane contamination . I finally made up a new primer membrane from some old EPDM Gasket material . Although it will not Prime as designed it will seal and allow flow via the primer circuit to the secondary tickler bypass circuit. I also had to reset the Metering Needle Valve Fulcrum lever , which was set a few thousand high (or spring rate had lessened) causing a flooding condition on start up from famine to feast flow . Note: A error on my previous note this Nikki Slide Carb does have a Guillotine Style Manual Choke thus the decision to eliminate the Primer Function which was redundant with the Choke and Tickler System . If he wishs he can order another Primer Bulb . I ran a tank through it this-afternoon cutting some Milkweed and Bull Rush Weeds . Started right up 1st pull on full choke and idles great after some additional fine tuning , another Trimmer ready for a End-User . I Hope he has the Homemade Wine and Sausage (Hot) ready early this Fall ...Pay Backs are Great lol !
Ignore everything everybody is telling you. Go to Lowes, Home Depot, etc. and buy a can of Gum Out. Spray some on the outside of the choke and around the carberator, start it up then spray some into the carberator. It might choke down but restart it. It'll clean out the gunk and within minutes it'll be running like new. I had two Weedeaters that were giving me trouble and now they're running like a top. I got a special can made for small engines in the area where they sell mowers, string cutters, tillers etc. but I bet just plain old Gum Out will do just fine. (Probably the same stuff in a smaller can and priced higher!)
I have a freind that owns an older homelite weedeater. He likes it because it has real good compression but when he sets it down after turning the weedeater off, the darn thing will leak gas into the carb and into the air filter!!! It does not matter what position it is in. Can this be fixed???
Rick: The majority of Homelites have a diaphram and inlet needle valve arrangement . It is most likely that there is varnish / gum or small amount if debris which is not allowing the needle valve to close completely . You will have to determine which route of resolve you wish to try . One tap the bottom of the carb with the handle of a large screwdriver to attempt to dislodge any debris from the inlet needle . Secondly use concentrated carb cleaner 2 ounces within fresh fuel and allow this agent to remove the varnish within a tank normally . Or otherwise remove the draphram bottom cover and insect and physically and carefully clean the inlet under the diaphram . Be careful not to damage the diaphram while removing it . Place it within some mixed fuel to ensure it does not dry out . Just a note some of the very old Homelites may also have had a float style carb and if so it may have a pinhole causing it to lose its buoyancy which will also cause the flooding condition . Again the carb will require internal inspection to determine .
Usually the problem is a dirty carburetor. I've gotten a lot of good use out of my Homelite. Good luck.

"Is there a way to oil or grease the shaft of a Homelite weed eater (about 4 years old with a curved shaft) near the string end of shaft? Mine gets hot near the end after 20 minutes of use, so hot that it causes the string to burn."
I'm A Liittle Slow Or This Is A Little Old! Anyway, we both missed the service tip on disassembling the shaft and greasing the cable. My cable got hot enough to melt or ruin some of the plastic bushings spaced in the bowed section. I greased it and added two bushing or so and it works well. I had always known to check and add grease if needed in the head yearly. loger
Ewalk, I don't feel that using 2 ounces of fuel/carb cleaner is such a good idea. The strong solvent will knock the oil in the fuel mix off the walls of the cylinder and could least to galling and scoring of the piston and cylinder. This really thins out the fuel mix and jeopardizes lubrication. A much smaller quantity may be OK but 2 ounces is way to strong (at least for a 2-stroke).
Home : Not to worry for the little time that you are using the product it will not harm anything . Even the cheaper cleaner has lubricity additives which assist in breaking down sludge and varnish but also lubricate top end components rings and also valve train on 4-cycle units.
For routine maintaince a much smaller dosage of 1/2 ounce every 4-5 tanks or once annually is what i usually recommend. Actually have used Lucas Top End cleaner for over 10 years but have just began using Star*tron which a forum member has advised had merit and I found it quite effective and even cheaper at Walmart Stores South of the Border.
Not even close to an expert, but here's what fixed mine: I cleaned the spark plug. It would only run at half choke. I removed the spark plug, brushed the electrode area with a wire brush, re-gapped, blew it off with compressed air and it cranked immediately! I did tinker with the carburator adjustment, but again I don't know what I'm doing, I just started turning the red screw until something happened. I'll be buying a new plug before the next use, hoping it will run!!!

I found a S&W model 29 with the 10" barrel at a local pawnshop. I'm reasonably certain I can get him down to 550. I was wanting another Ruger Redhawk in .44 but am thinking about this blued 29. My only concern is that long of a barrel. Just thinking it's just too dang long to pack. Should I get it and cut down or change the barrel? Opinions?

I wouldn't cut the barrel on a 10inch... but that's just me. You're right about it being hard to pack though. I can't even imagine putting that thing in a holster!! Of course I'm only 5'11" and weigh 160.
What's the dash #? Is it a 29-3 SILHOUETTE 10 5/8" BARREL?
10" barrel? Don't think I've ever seen one??
Not that there isn't one.
Get it and don't molest it! Except maybe a scope.
I love my N-frame!
That's a hunting gun Bear. I would leave the barrel as is, and put a nice target scope on that rascal.
Sure would be a shame to cut that barrel. I have a S&W 586 with a 8 3/8" barrel and that is hard to carry. I would opt to change the barrel if you had too. If you get it, shoot it a few times. You might change your mind when you see the ballistic performance and accuracy with a 10" barrel though. My 8 3/8" is a real performer out to 50 to 75 yards on iron sights.
wisdom comes with time and time is never ending
It probably is the 10 5/8" barrel.
I use my Taurus Raging Bull .44Mag with a 8 3/8" barrel to shoot IPSC matches, and on those occasions I wear the revolver all day long in a speedholster on my hip - not a problem. I can't see that adding 2" is going to hurt.....I would definitely buy it, and keep it as it is.(Sorry I didn't have the time to "Photoshop" the belly out,...)I have to dream about seeing any type 29 down here in my part of the woods,....
Bear, I got my 629 with an 8 3/8s barrel and I'm loving it. After I discovered someone had the rear sight out of place and I can not hit something with it. It takes some follow thru but it's a blast to shoot and nice to look at too. Get the 29 and don't look back.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
Bear, I love mine. The last deer I took was with it. The shot was about 95 yards, using a 240gr hard cast semi-wadcutter over 20gr of 2400. One shot through both lungs and out the other side. I carry mine in a shoulder rig when hunting...

Exactly! My experience with this (being a telecommuter for 6 years now) - is that if you have a separate office and your family actually respects that as "daddy is at work" - then it isn't a distraction at all. I have a separate office - that is closed. It has it's own door outside - so that helps if needed. Hell - my son actually IM's me from the downstairs computer into my office because they know that when in the office - dad is off limits. Just depends on the situation I guess.

Is Romantic dark reddish or purplish?
I asked about Romantic last year, but can't get any threads to come up about it.
Can someone remind me of the true color of it? I'm looking for a clem that is dark red or dark with a reddish hue to it. If you have other suggestions, I'm open to possibilities.
Hi Kate,
I think you mean Romantika. Mine is a very dark when it first opens, a very dark purple rather than red.
Here are a few pics of mine last year. It was its first year in the garden.
Back view
I have mine planted with Betty Corning. It does seem to attract mildew.
You can read more about it here.
Here is a link that might be useful: COTW
Ooooh, it's Romantika, not Romantic. No wonder I couldn't locate anything on it.
Maggie, those pics are sooooooo gorgeous that I wish I needed that color in that open spot in my garden! Unfortunately, I really need more reddish tones.
Buyorsell, yes, I've been considering Niobe, but thanks for mentioning Rouge Cardinal. I had forgotten about it.
Any other suggestions from anyone?
Some say 'Rebecca' is red but the one I saw in bloom inside at Donahue's looked maroon to me. Maybe it is red in the sun.
Gravety Beauty, a texensis, pruning group three, is the best red for me.
Gravety Beauty 2nd year, 2009
'Madame Julia de Correvon' appears wine colored (maroonish) to me. This photo is a little dark.
Rouge Cardinal appears a velvety maroon though can look more red if the sun hits it just right.

|AP sources: Cal hires Sonny Dykes as new coach
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 05 December 2012 16:21
Two people with knowledge of the hire confirmed Wednesday night that Dykes got the job and will be formally introduced at a news conference Thursday. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
The hiring was first reported by Footballscoop.com
Dykes had a 22-15 record with the Bulldogs, averaging 35.9 points and 452.5 yards per game in his tenure. He takes over a Cal team that went 3-9 this past season and missed a bowl for the second time in three years.
AP College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo contributed to this report.

Saskatoon Island Provincial Park: Go for the day, or for the weekend
102 hectares, 97 campsites including walk in and group sites. Northern aspen parkland, where native people historically came in summer for thousands of years to gather saskatoon berries and to make pemmican. Saskatoon growth is still abundant; however picking for more than personal use is discouraged. Also a game preserve where rare Trumpeter Swans (largest swans and waterfowl in the world) are seen regularly (so named because of their bugling call). The lake attracts many waterfowl and there is a viewing platform over Little Lake. Beach, boating, swimming and playground facilities are available.
The only downside to this campground is the bugs - there are so many mosquitoes its crazy! (of course, its like that everywehre) Bring bugspray if you plan to stay here
Electrical service, flush toilets and showers are available.
Walking trails in the campground, parks for the kids, and free firewood.

The Olympic Dream
For many athletes, it's a driving goal, a dearest dream, the hoped-for pinnacle of a (young) life's work: the Olympic Games. For most, it's an impossible trip, as injury, expense, the four-year Olympic cycle, and plain old not-good-enough conspire to keep athletes away. For the lucky few, it's life-changing, and for the very lucky (and talented, and hard-working) few, it's a trip they make multiple times. And there, at the very top, you find the medal winners. Today we've got 2008 US Men's Gymnastics Team alternate David Durante, gold medal winning diver and '08 team member Laura Wilkinson, and Adam Nelson, who's won the silver in shot-put twice and heads to Beijing this year for another heave at the gold. They'll tell us all about their successes and failures en route to the dream, and we'd like to hear yours: did you share their dream of Olympic glory? How'd it turn out?

I think it's hypocritical to call Olympic athletes amateurs any more - they are subsidized by corporations so they can work out '6 - 8 hours a day.' International sports competitions may or may not be a good thing (personally, I think the American obsession with spectatior sports is unhealthy) but, please, let's admit that these people are professionals.
Though there may be a few Olympians subsized with salaries and cush jobs by employers in the U.S., the large majority work regular jobs and make/take time before or after work to train and compete. Additionally, many Olympians can subsidize their own income via purse winnings and/or sponsorships. I agree that it is inappropriate to refer to Olympians as "amateur" since the rules have changed to allow professional basketball, baseball, tennis, etc. players to compete. However, given my personal relationships with many of the track and field athletes and those of other Olympic events, the very fact that they are able to maintain their physical conditioning, compete at a world-class level, and balance their work and home life takes an Olympic effort. Besides, anyone who is working out 6-8 hours/day is obsessively overtraining and probably won't make the team due to exhaustion.

FINALLY! There is one lone Ironweed plant growing in my horse pasture. I've seen them everywhere else but my house and now I have one. I love this thing!
Obviously, I live in the country. In my flowerbeds, I let wildflowers grow where I haven't planted anything (and I often let the more decorative wildflowers fill in around my other flowers).
I would like to move this Ironweed to where I can see it. I have loads of butterflies and hummingbirds that come and I've read that they like this plant, too. Is there a way to transplant this Ironweed without killing it? Should I wait until Spring? Do it now? Don't do it and just collect seed?
I am jealous. Ironweed is one wildflower that I do not yet have in my garden. I would wait until fall, and then dig it and move it. I'd scatter seed in the dirt you just dug. Apparently that spot has the right moisture, aspect, soil, etc for this great plant.
That's a good idea about reseeding the spot. Now that I think about it, it's growing right on the edge of where rain water runs off (our property is on a hill) and that also happens to be near where I dump the old water from the water bucket that I leave out there.
Cool! Thanks!
I probably would not dig the plant up, but I would collect seeds from it. When it goes to seed, collect some and put the seeds where you want it grow. I would just tamp the seeds lightly into the soil this fall and cover with mulch. Mark the spot so you can watch for it in the spring.
I think you could move the plant. Since you have only one, I might try to find a nearby pasture that has lots and ask if you can move one. I think most pasture owners would be happy to part with one. I'd dig a ball of soil with the plant in, cut the plant back to about two feet tall, plant, and water for the remainder of the summer. I don't think this will be a difficult plant to move, and you'll have a much larger plant next summer if you tranplant instead of start from seed. They usually like moist sites, but will do fine with good soil and average moisture.
I have heard from a man who is a wildflower guru around where I live and he says that ironweed seeds need to be hardened by heat to germinate the same way one stratifies with cold other seeds. So the sprouts are really late germinating. I do not have much luck with regular ironweed but I gets lots of sprouts off of wooly ironweed seeds. I am real good at passing on hearsay. Hope it helps.

Nancy Whang (DFA/LCD Soundsystem) DJ Set
Brooklyn Bowl
61 Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 11:30 PM / Show 11:59 PM
This event is 21 and over
Nancy Whang (DFA/LCD Soundsystem) DJ Set
Nancy Whang is among the few who can lay claim to being a key figure in the heady early days of the rise of DFA Records, and her DJ sets remain faithful to the post-punk party aesthetic upon which DFA was founded. Nancy's contributions on early 12"'s by LCD Soundsystem and The Juan MacLean quickly lead to her full-time involvement as a permanent member in each of those bands. Shortly after, guest appearances on Soulwax's seminal track 'E Talking' and Munk's 'Kick Out The Chairs' solidified her place as a highly sought after vocalist in the burgeoning alternative dance music scene.
It was this auspicious debut upon which Nancy has since built an electrifying career as a touring and recording member of LCD Soundsystem. Logging years of touring miles, Nancy was instrumental in establishing LCD as one of the decades most exciting live bands, headlining some of the greatest festivals worldwide in addition to endless club gigs. As if that were not enough, in LCD's downtime Nancy also fronted DFA act The Juan MacLean, again setting off on rigorous touring schedules of both festivals and clubs across the globe. Her appearance on The Juan MacLean's massive dance hit 'Happy House' once again solidified her place as a sort of hitmaking voice of underground dance music.
Of course, all of this live band action is only half of the DFA equation; DJ'ing has always been equally prominent. Like James Murphy, Juan MacLean, Holy Ghost, Shit Robot, Eric Duncan and other members of the DFA collective, Nancy found herself honing her skills as a DJ at various afterparties and special events. While many of her peers at DFA ventured out into the world of late night club-friendly dj'ing, Nancy has stayed firmly rooted in the eclecticism of what could now be considered the defining style of DFA. Her sets have an emphasis on fun, an echoing of the glory days of the NYC scene of the 80's in which disco, proto-house, postpunk, noise, electro, and latin influences all conspire to keep things interesting. No loopy late-night darkness here. Nancy's sets might feature dance party friendly tracks by Liquid Liquid, Deee-Lite, Nu Shooz, Annie, Sexual Harassment, Frankie Knuckles, Kraftwerk, Lipps Inc., and of course the newest and classic tracks from her own DFA label.
Nancy continues to fill her schedule with worldwide DJ bookings while working on the next full album by The Juan MacLean.
