Library/Music Room is DONE!!!
For those who have trouble loading (or finding) my long threads on my library/music room, here is a quick way to see it completed. I have appreciated all of your enthusiasm and your help in deciding on paint versus wood grain. We decided on all paint, the same color as the rest of the room, but with semi-gloss instead of satin.
Paint is Valspar Spice Delight from Lowes.
Window is an Eagle casement window with two outer operational windows, triple panes, retractable screens that roll up to the top, oak interior wood in the color "mahogany" and aluminum exterior cladding.
The flooring is Wicanders cork click planks Series 1000 in the color Chestnut. It has a layer of cork on the bottom, so we did not put anything under it except for the visquene vapor barrier between the flooring and the slab. If I had it to do again, I would have the contractor put something soft under it, like a cork underlayment. It has that hollow clicky sound that snap-together floors sometimes have. We have not had a bright ans sunny day, so I have not gotten a good picture of it yet. It is a very dark color. We do like it, so far.
The bookshelves, desk, and french doors were all Craigslist finds. The chairs, file cabinet, and the base cabinets under the bookshelves are from a used office furniture shop. The rocker has been in my family since the mid 1930s, and was not new then. The loveseat was bought barely used from a family friend and it is covered with a Sure Fit slipcover. The rug is new from a local discount rug outlet.
It was my design, but was totally executed by my contractor, Jim Hartman of Contract Remodeling of Roseville, MI. He is a perfectionist and an honest and reliable hard-working man. He reinstalled the foyer trim, re-sized (drywall work) the opening of the living room to fit the new french doors, drove and got the french doors from the house of the people who sold them, installed the new window (and another in the laundry room), installed the new floor, cut, stained and installed the baseboard and toe moldings, re-routed the heat vent from a floor register to a toe-kick register in a base cabinet, primed and painted the new opening into the room, stained, cut and installed the french door jambs, installed a new ceiling light where none existed previously and a dimmer switch for it, installed lights in the crown molding of the bookcase, and moved furniture back into the room. He also touched-up our painting and repainted the ceiling.
To build the bookcases from five 8 ft tall used bookcases and three used office storage cabinets, he first spaced them evenly, cut three to a height to go to the ceiling when placed on top of the base cabinets, secured the five bookcases to the walls and cabinets after conferring with me on the design possibilities, made the picture-frame moldings on the doors of very modern-looking base cabinets in order to make them more classic-looking, installed the fluted molding, rosettes, and crown molding, stained and installed oak baseboard molding to match the rest of the room, and then had his helper prime the entire wall of bookcases and 32 shelves and then give all of this three coats of paint. He will also make the countertop for the library bases using Wilsonart laminate and beveled edge molding from Wilsonart. My hospitalization interfered with our project in only one way - I forgot to order the edge! So it was late in arriving and Jim will do it between his other projects in the next few weeks.
The cost for all of Jim's work in this room, including materials of oak baseboards, jambs, and toe moldings; stain, bookcase lumber (several 2x4s behind the middle three, the boards between each cabinet that were later covered by moldings, all of the moldings and other trim pieces) was... $5700.00! Jim had told me last year that if we wanted to have wall-to-wall bookcases in the front room in oak, built from scratch, the cost would be around $12,000. Well, we don't have oak, but we sure do have bookcases!
From this...
and this
to this!
If you click below, you will be taken to my Pbase album. I have the pictures on size "large." You can re-size the pictures to smaller sizes underneath the photo. Hit "next" to go forward and see the finished room. I will add more as I get the decorating done. If you want to see the whole saga, including broken concrete floor and foundation repairs, go to the top of the page and click on the words "Front Room." Then go to the numbers above my shingles photos and click on the "1" and then click on the first photo on page 1. You can then see the whole story with all of the captions and details, foundation repairs, shingles outbreak, and all.

Wowzers! I don't know which of you saw the potential in those bookcases, but I am so impressed with your vision of what it could be and then became. What happened to the small cabinet? Is it one of the lower cabinets on the bookcases?
I love the detail on the cases and the lights. The chandelier is perfect over the desk too.
How many times have you walked in there and just smiled at how nice it is?
Hi Marti,
Thanks! I walk in there, sit down and smile! Tonight we located the shelf clips, so DH and I installed most of the shelves. I will get pictures tomorrow. We are going to wait a week for book installation because there are three layers of paint on those shelves, done over three days. We want it good and cured before we start scuffing it up with books. On Thursday, I spent all afternoon in there. Jim and Keith left about 1:00. My sis stopped by about 2:30, and I just sat in there, waiting for her (and cleaning the furniture that sat in the basement for the past several years). After she left, I sat and waited for DH. He got home around 5:30 and was appropriately blown away! I sat in there again yesterday and today. Yes, I sit there and look around and sigh! It looks exactly as I imagined it would look. The finished countertop will be icing on the cake.
The small cabinet is one of three small cabinets (36" wide, 22" deep) that make up the base of the three center sections. Jim added molding to the doors (my design) to make them look more traditional.
DH really likes the chandelier, too. I was afraid it would be too fru-fru for him, but he does not think so. The room had no ceiling light at all. The LED ribbon in the crown molding was in my original design, but the chandelier was a last-minute add-on. I was at Lowes, buying something for the project,and walked down the lighting aisle as I went to the register. I saw it and gasped. It was perfect for above his desk. The sides have the same fluted look as the moldings on the bookcases. Now, between the LEDs and the chandy, there is lots of ambient lighting. Lamps will be needed for reading on the loveseat, that is all.
Hey, are you watching baseball? Your team is headed to the World Series! Our poor Tigers just could not catch a break tonight.
Yes! How 'bout them Rangers!!!!!
I'm sorry about your Tigers. The camera showed one of the players gazing sadly out at the field as the Rangers were jumping around and hugging each other, and I felt so sorry for them - for a minute. lol
It is so exciting to see the team that we have loved for so long make it to the World Series.
I'm thinking the same thing Steph. We have a neighbor who is an electrician. He is always saying if we need anything, just ask. So we asked him if he could give us a price to wire in a few more outlets and put in a couple of lights in the garage. He was supposed to come Saturday. On Friday, at 6:30, he texted and said he would be there at 7am. I got up at 6am (and I am sooo not a morning person), and there was another text on my phone that said his boss asked him to go golfing and would it be ok to do the work next Saturday? Well, what am I going to say? If I say no, then he just says he can't do it, or cancels his golf with boss and comes over all ticked off. Meanwhile, I'm working in semi-dark with the drywall, and have all these light fixtures laying around. Yet, I also understand that when the boss makes an offer, you don't turn it down if you are trying to make brownie points with the boss.
Marti, I know how you feel about the delays. Maybe you could get him to show you how to bring the wiring part of it to the point where a licensed electrician has to finish, so you can get the grunt work done yourself. As long as a licensed person finishes, it is usually considered to code. Or so I was told by an electrician who had his helper snaking wires through the walls and such for my work.
And Nancy, I do so appreciate what you've accomplished. No joke, Jim has a devoted following on this forum. He's really earned it. Does this happen to be the last project you'll use him for... until 3 whole years? Does that mean he is "available?" hehehehe. Marti and Steph will be vying for dibs on Jim's time!!!!! And next winter, so will I. :)
Congratulations, Nancy. I'd sit there an smile too if I was in your place...
Yes, what is Jim doing next?
Steph probably needs him next, then me, then ML. We could keep him busy for awhile.
I wanted to ask if your original purchase was all five bookshelves, or just the three in the center?
BTW, I sill chuckle over your term "project creep".
Beautiful! I love the way they turned out. I'm looking forward to seeing the shelves and all your books, etc. Congrats on a wonderful room!
Not really a Tigers fan, but GO LIONS! LOL I guess 5-1 isn't too bad...at least we beat Chicago, Monday night :)
"As long as a licensed person finishes, it is usually considered to code"
the electrician I've been using (for yrs) is older - early 70's. he has a younger guy working with him who does all of the 'running/physical' type stuff. he is there at any connections to watch, guide etc.
I'm sure Jim'd make short work of my 'projects'. The biggest one would be laying laminate flooring. the others are things like hook up dw, change out light fixtures. maybe change a ceiling fan that I think is to small for the room. put up 4 shelves that are high up. I can do the lower ones. install 2 closet doors... not major stuff really. sad that so many guys can't even do a decent job on these things.
Steph, I hear a plaintive note in your voice with that last remark.
How about one day we talk Jim into becoming a "roadie"...
Living in his motor home, traveling the country, stopping in different places where he can plug in his power for FREE, have home cooked meals to order, and in the process make his living doing these sweet little projects? Then off he goes to the next "vacation" spot?
I once knew a couple who lived on their sailboat and he would repair sailboats while in each port.It was an alternative lifestyle alright, but it worked for them.
I think ML invented Jim's motor home. As far as I know, he does not have one. I told him that my internet pals have work waiting for him in Arizona, Texas, and Mississippi, and he just shakes his head.
Come this weekend, we plan to start loading the bookshelves and the cupboards and file cabinet. Maybe I will have more pictures then.
"I think ML invented Jim's motor home."
I'll be happy to pay him with 'invented' money - as long as his work isn't just 'invented' - lol!
Jim shaking his head - that's what he gets for doing such quality work at a reasonable price - and not taking a year to do it! puts him in high demand!
there aren't a lot like him around...
Jim came back and took the countertop, laminate, and special edging today. That means we should have a shiny rock-looking countertop any day now! Tomorrow, we will load the bookshelves with books (minus the missing countertop) and set up the phone and printer, synthesizer, laptop docking station, and put things away in the cupboards and files. Yay! Move-in weekend has come!
Now, no photos until the countertop is back....
thanks, MamaG! I love the rug, too. At first we thought it was a blue-green, then it looked green. Now it is green with a touch of blue in it.
I think I forgot to answer somebody's question about the lawyer's bookshelves earlier. There were actually seven bookshelves in the lot. Two were 30" wide by 8 ft high. I sold those. We used all five of the 36" by 8 ft ones.
I am somewhat amazed at how well built and how good looking the project turned out. That is all Jim. I am awfully proud of having the idea, though. I find myself constantly thinking about how this old piece of furniture or that old thing could be turned into something new. How I wish I could make them myself! (My hands and elbows and wrists and shoulders won't let me do the work.) And how I wish I could do something this creative for a living!
Shelayne, it is so rewarding to have your imagined project become real. I have not touched it much yet, I just look at it a lot! LOL!!
I caught another virus this week, and spent three days home from work. One day I just sat on that loveseat with my computer, looking out the new window and looking at the room while I cruised THS, wrapped in a warm blanket.
Nancy, if you have a chance to visit your library, PLEASE look for a book by Jocasta Innes titled PAINT MAGIC or NEW PAINT MAGIC. I know you will love it as much as I have for the past 15 years or so. Doing things with old furniture is basically is what it is about.
She is a Brit, the pictures are lovely.

fig leaf usage and recipe
Hi friends
On my caprifig trees there are now thousands of nice fresh green leaves and I wondered about the possible usage of these
Does any one here know how to boil? steam? preserve? pickle ? stuff these leaves
I've never heard of using fig leaves, but I know that Grape leaves are excellent stuffed with rice.
Came across these,
In the 3rd century B.C., fig leaves, thrion, were used as wrapping material. In the same way as grape leaves are used today, they were preserved in salt to reduce their bitter elements, so that tasty morsels could be wrapped up in them and eaten. The fig leaf became an important symbol of the loss of Paradise, its use betraying to God the Father how Adam and Eve had fallen from grace: "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." (Gen. 3:7.) Artists could not avoid using the fig leaf when portraying this theme, and as a consequence Adam and Eve were never seen without hiding their modesty in this way.
You probably do not think about the leaves of the fig tree as one of fig's edible parts. But in some cultures, fig leaves are a common part of the menu, and for good reason. The leaves of the fig have repeatedly been shown to have antidiabetic properties and can actually reduce the amount of insulin needed by persons with diabetes who require insulin injections. In one study, a liquid extract made from fig leaves was simply added to the breakfast of insulin-dependent diabetic subjects in order to produce this insulin-lowering effect.
Aphrodisiacs: Cooking for Pleasure - Figs
Break open a fig and eat it in front of your girlfriend  see if she finds it erotic. TheyÂre supposed to have a look of  ahem  female sexual organs!
Well, I am not usually so inclined to mess around with my insulin injections since a small amount has a significant impact. I might, however try a fig leaf tea and see how it goes.
Last week while in Houston, I had a conversation with a friend of a friend who indicated her grandfather brought several cuttings from Poland when the family fled during WWII. She told me she use to eat the figs before they were ripe. She ended up developing a very significant allergy to latex. She felt like the milky sap from the unripe figs contributed to her allergies. I'm not sure how accurate this is. I have heard people who are allergic to latex are not suppose to eat certain foods, figs among them.
I have always thought that a fig split in half from stem to eye resembled the female anatomy. My first significant exposure to figs was when I was 12 years old when my interest in the fairer sex also kicked into high gear. Perhaps, this is why I have such a fondness to them even today.
Thank you for the links.
My mother, now 95, and always an experimenter, has a fig tree, and learned from a Sicilian friend that the leaves were used for tea there, though the friend had never tasted it. My mother dried leaves, and sent me some. I don't normally like any herb teas, and waited a while to try this one. To my surprise, it's so delicious, in a quiet and gentle way, that I am looking forward to drying the leaves of my young Hardy Chicago to have my own supply. Try it!
My friends in South of France always decorate a large tray with fig leaves on top of which they place various cheeses for the obligatory cheese course (with or without figs). When I occasionally do it here in the US, it brings me back to the light and smells and tastes of Provence immediately...
I've been looking for fig leaf recipes and can't find any. The fig tea sounds good, but I don't know how to make it. My husband is a diabetic and the information about fig leaves lowering insulin sounds good, but I can't find any information on how to prepare the leaves and how it works for a diabetic. Any information would be appreciated.
I saw the post by "mycamper", actually I've been waiting for the answer from some fig leaf tea expert, because my mother is diabetic. so far no more update yet ;-(
Does anyone know where and how to buy fig leaf tea?
Thanks in advance for the information!
Just a quick search on Yahoo brought this up:
Fig leaf tea helps support proper insulin response.
Researchers in Spain have shown that fig leaf (ficus carica) tea can help maintain proper insulin levels.
It can easily be made using 2 teaspoons of dried cut leaves. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the leaves, cover, and let the brew sit for 10 to 15 minutes before drinking. Drink 1 cup each morning at breakfast. Dried fig leaves can usually be purchased at your local health food store.
Consult with your doctor - if you're currently taking medications, before use.

I found a paper that I think is describing the study that was conducted in Spain. It is titled "Hypoglycemic Action of an Oral Fig-Leaf Decoction in Type-1 Diabetic Patients" The link listed below will take you to the abstract (this is a pay article) - very interesting. This is a very scientific paper, but it does appear that the fig leaf tea does have an affect and is worth further study.
Here is a link that might be useful: Hypoglycemic action of an oral fig-leaf decoction, etc
Thank you so much for the information. I've been searching for fig leaves too, didn't find in any store around, but I saw WholeFood is selling fig trees, maybe I'll just bought a tree and let it produce more leaves with its growing, then make our own tea for my mom by following figalicious's instruction, which is very clear and detail. Both the links given by figalicious and ingevald are very helpful, just like an eye opener to me. I'll study them and update you later with how my mom is doing.
Thank you again and best regards!
the chez panisse cafe cookbook has a recipe for King salmon wrapped in fig leaves, either grilled or roasted, but any lean fish would work. The leaves keep the fish moist and can be a nice presentation, but you don't eat the leaves. The following article from the LA times has several ideas:
Here is a link that might be useful: fig leaf wraps
You can purchase fresh fig leaves at From the Farm.com
The actual farm is my sister in laws (not the website). I stumbled across this thread searching for fig leaf tea info. From what I understand so far you simply dry the leaf/leaves and steep in boiling water in a tea infuser or tea ball.
Here is a link that might be useful: From the Farm
If I were going to save them for tea, I would spread them out on news paper to dry for two weeks. After they dry put them in a paper bag and store in a warm dry place for another couple of months till they are really dry. Then crush them up and put them in a container. Always be on the watch for mold. If they mold throw them out.

Vaiee is a small village on the Samoan island of Upolu. It is located on the central south coast of the island.
This village is known for the chiefly matai titles of Tuia and Te'o. The Te'o title is a well known title from the district of Falealili. The Tuia title of Togamau is held by Tuia Pu'a Letoa of the Fuaialii Clan and Tuia Aufonolua Siaosi as appointed by the Court. Reference can be made to the Courts decisions which after appeal cases by both sides, determined that both title holders are "suli." To record otherwise, is a contempt of Court.
Tuia Pu'a Letoa has fought and won 2 major land and titles cases relating to the "measina" of the TUIA i TOGAMAU including the confirmation of the land "TOGAMAU"[1] and the land "LOGOTONU.[2]"
The 2014 decisions by the Land and Titles Court are landmark decisions which preserve the authority, rights and title over the said land and also determined that the title TUIA was founded in Vaiee and was the founding title of the village.In addition to the fact that the TUIA title has existed in Vaiee for over 15 generations,the protocols that define and regulate the relationship between the Tuia of Togamau and the Te'o title were confirmed in the TOGAMAU case, based on arguments submitted by Tuia Pu'a Letoa. For example, when the ava ceremony is performed in Vaie'e the honour of the first cup is given to Te'o in recognition that the title "Te'o" is a guest within the village of Tuia.However once the village of Vaie'e travels to another village outside of Vaiee, the first ava is given to Tuia.
These 2014 cases further confirmed that the title "TE'O" emanated from Falealili and upon arrival in Vaie'e the TUIA title determined the land to be allocated to the Te'o title and also there "va nonofo." There are currently about 20 holders of the Te'o title living in Samoa and overseas. There are 3 branches of this title.
There is also another "Tuia" title held by Tuia Faato'ia of Laupolatasi. This title was derived from the Tuia of Togamau and does not share the same authority as the "Tuia" of Togamau. . The Tuia of Togamau is one of the four paramount titles in Safata known as "le falefa o le uluga tanifa."

Hi Snigdha, this looks good....i guess i can experiment with different kind of beans but with the same preparation too...

His dad will get this all straightened out.
I did not make this headline up
His dad will get this all straightened out.
only after he gets done plowing my driveway, though.
"Boron!" ~ Bo Schembechler, to Mike Boren.
I'm looking forward to him turning pro so I don't have to see 3 threads every week about this guy.
Oh well, at least we're over him transferring...
season. It is easy to understand their general reticence, especially the southern teams. This is hard to explain to the fans. I did hear from a really reliable source that cannot be named, but trust me, he is an insider who really knows what is going on, that a front office staffer in Pittsburgh asked Woodley what he thought, Woodley being a former Big 10 player and all. My source was unsure what happened, but he heard something about witness protection.
Karma is a Bitch!
At least that OSU degree should get him in the door with the Omaha Nighthawks.
Boren can be a scab and then go back to picking up trash with his pops.
As a hot dog vendor! It won't save him though when he gets caught eating them all and refusing to go up more than 3 steps a minute while carrying his hot box.
Not surprising... don't know if the combine tracks measurables like complaining about having to win your starting job and refusing to work out
Who'll just show up, not enjoy the work, than bolt ... blaming the NFL's lack of family values as the reason for his leaving the combine, not the actual work he had to endure while being there.
I heard that wallmart has no family values
I am actually kind of glad this tub of goo didn't get invited for another free meal. Now he and hims Daddy and yittle brodder can ride off into the sunset once and for all and watch this MICHIGAN program come back to life. He was the start of the fall of this era of football at U of M . So go do what you do best Justin, Be a nut! A frickin Buckeye nut! What a crapy mascot, A chestnut? But leave it to the tards at the school south of us to pick out the ever dangerous nut for school mascot. Probably couldn't spell cat or dog even if you spotted them the C and A _.
GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go recruit your big old butt off Brady and get some defensive studs in here to help next year!
Tough luck Judas ya mealymouthed liar. Make a deal keep the deal, now your family don't mean shit to us. Boren went from alumni to a four letter word. Weird how in this case it was the sins of the son that screwed the father. Break a leg,no really break a leg.
serves him damn right!!! "Once you go red, you're career's dead" (cheesy lol)
...but you gotta think that if you were an NFL scout, you'd want to know if a guy you're interested in drafting has the mental toughness to stick it out. Boren cried himself all the way to Columbus after seeking out the media and complaining loudly to it. And then he outed himself by mocking Rich Rodriguez by dressing up as him at a Halloween party, proving it had nothing to do with his so-called family values.
Is this the guy you want to have on your team, or does he seem like a cancer in the making when things go south?
I love schadenfreude. Maybe he can drown his sorrows in a bunch of KFC Double Down (TM.) Sandwiches.
as soon as they got rid of the pie-eating contest at the combine, he really served no purpose there.
I usually don't smile at the misfortune's of others... usually.
doesn't make any sense, but this isn't going to change anything. boren is either the first or second interior lineman off the board, either low 1st round or high 2nd
You're telling me the fuckbag they dubbed "Mr. Nasty" didn't get invited?
I guess I wouldn't read that much into it. It is weird, but Boren is a good OL and despite being a douche he will be drafted. He'll probably never make it in the NFL, but so be it.
I am not going to be a jerk, but this probably doesn't need to be on the board.
You're the guy who keeps running down Coach Rodriguez.
Now I won't take ownership of much of the trashtalk in this thread, but since our local sports media never made a serious attempt at covering the real Boren story, apart from republishing the Boren Family press release, and negligently letting the "family values" meme rattle around in the media for a couple of years at tremendous cost to the reputation of Michigan and Coach Rodriguez, I don't mind if I do remind everybody of what the true "family values" story was.
I dont work in a cubicle..
I still think Boren is an ass.
when you go off your meds.
The "family support" that Justin was getting at Pickerington North led Justin to think that "somebody might call the cops," given the way that his dad was screaming at him at halftimes of his games there. That's a quote. From Justin.
I've got to tell you, because you seem like a smart young feller that just doesn't know a whole lot; I've actually been a defender of Justin Boren to at least some extent. When others called him lazy, I said there's no evidence of that. I denied the existence of any evidence that Boren didn't want to run, and couldn't put up with fast Rodriguez practices, etc.
I always thought Boren was, and is, a very good guard. Who was oddly homesick whenever he was out of Columbus.
At the same time, nobody but the Borens are to blame for the media wars over Justin's transfer. They started it, with the "family values" press realease. That idiocy dogged Coach Rodriguez for as long as he was here. In all actuality, the Borens never got enough criticism and scrutiny for what they did. It was a classic example of the Borens acting badly. The entire non-recrutiment, then the sudden offer letter, from OSU to little brother Zach, was as clear an illustration as anyone could hope for, of what Mike Boren was getting at when he helped draft the "family values" press release and then later said in a fury that he would not have his two sons playing at two different universities. Mike Boren is psycho-dad.
But again, the Borens' p.r. victim was Rodriguez. And to his enduring credit, Rich Rodriguez refused to talk about players who weren't Michigan players. He took the criticism and stayed quiet, even when people invented bizarre stories about what was the supposed "erosion of family values at Michigan." When in fact the Borens are quite likely some of the nastiest and most foul-mouthed people in East Columbus.
It is ironic that others are as entitled to their opinion (and not letting go) as you are of apparently taking the higher road and letting go. The entire Mgoblog community is very proud of you for being the bigger person. I don't think anyone portends to have more or less class than anyone unless on this blog (after all we do post cat pictures with inane sayings all the time - though why lie, it's funny almost every time).
I think this is a forum for both points to be heard. What it is not a forum for (if the point you are making is to not be name callers) is to call others names or delineate them as uneducated people who work dead end jobs because they fail to have the same opinion as you.
I don't think Justin Boren deserves the sympathy you have bestowed upon him. Any person who leaves the university, spits out his jaundiced and one sided opinion on his way out the door and then has the audacity to dress up like his former coach and have someone else dress up as his former coaches wife in a mocking fashion is not someone I will ever respect (even if I hated Rich Rodriguez which I don't).
I think we as a fan base should move on as you say, but I understand why people will revel in his pain and sorrow. There is more fact than innuendo to state that he is a douche. And I for one am happy to defend the right of Mgobloggers to say so.
You say the stupidest shit.
in something besides football. But at least he can get some coin on Ebay
Maybe NFL scouts heard Boren say "I eat guys like that for breakfast" and figured that's why he got so fat.
I hope the next job that son of a bitch has is working the drive up window at a local Columbus Arbys.
Justin Boren will be a good pro. Yeah he left us but who cares at this point.
I think unless he puts the dedication into being a better player and in better condition he will be a middling pro at best. He will however be invited to the combine and I expect him to be drafted third or fourth round. Would I be surprised if he had a successful career? Not really, but I suspect he is more likely to be an average player who hangs around the league as a back up and lot longer than he should

Review - Asus C720-2802 Chromebook
I recently picked up via Craigslist a "new in the box" Asus C720-2802 Chromebook to use as my new primary system for TechNewsRadio.com. The main reason was that DEFCON22 is coming up soon in Las Vegas and I needed a "relatively" secure system to attend sessions and take notes for ~8 hours a day.
My previous note taking system was relatively old ThinkPad that I had 3 sets of extra batteries for. So, I dropped about 6 pounds by moving to the C720. And I don't have to configure a fresh system to take to DEFCON and then scrub after.
This version (2802) seems like the middle build release (~Feb2014) from the original that was in late 2013 and the most current $199 version that uses the Intel Celeron 2955U processor (2848). There is also a newer more expensive C720 with an Intel Core i3 processor available.
The positivies:
- Keyboard is great.
- Integration with my Google account was flawless.
- Integration with all my core online services was flawless.
- Working offline seems to work as expected.
The negatives:
- Can't seem to check IMAP email with an extension or a native Chrome application.
The still to be determined:
- Will it get hacked at DEFCON?
- How to edit audio?
- Will it let me take notes all day at DEFCON?
POST DEFCON REPORT: There is now an IMAP client - CloudMagic. I am pretty sure I didn't get hacked at DEFCON. I was able to take notes all day long at DEFCON without any issues. I have not found a good solution for editing audio.

Solar Power Review - Keeping Your Tech Powered While Camping
I recently picked up from Harbor Freight Tools the following solar power kit: 45W Solar Power Kit (#68751) for just over $150 (including tax).
Over the course of the last couple of months I've been able to try out the kit on several camping trips were there was no easy electrical grid access. The camping environment was pretty sunny but not always 100% full sun. The time of year for all the trips was summer and the location was Southern California. I ended up setting up the kit on the top of our small camper.
The main reason I picked up the kit was to keep all of my tech gear charged so I could keep tabs on email, news, and any tech issue with my sites. This was usually less than 1 hour a day which worked out well for my needs, and expectations related to being on a camping trip.
The gear I was able to keep operational using the kit included: cell phone, tablet, WIFI card, and a laptop during trips lasting up to 7 days.
I was suprised during the main daylight hours that the inverter could charge directly: the cell phone, tablet, and WIFI card. To keep my laptop charged I needed to capture to an emergency car battery system, and then use 3rd party car charger/inverter to get the right power levels to keep the laptop charged. I was also able to keep charged a USB battery pack so I could run my WIFI card during non-daylight hours when needed.
One other lesson learned, was to turn off all electronics while sleeping. This helped keep all the devices more readily available the next day then keeping them in standby/sleep mode overnight.
All in all the system worked very well and I'd recommend it.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Prado could be Poseidon
Martin Prado is making an impact on the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they've just started Spring Training. Kevin Towers, the D-backs' GM, is raving about Prado's weight-room antics, work ethic and his competitive fire. Towers told us D-backs players are having a hard time beating Prado into work in the morning, an easy time leaving before him, and that he doesn't know if he's seen Prado smile.
Apparently Prado's intensity button is stuck in the "ON" position.
This is the beating heart of the clubhouse chemistry question: can a human being inspire others to do better, work harder and be more prepared�every day? And, more importantly, can they do it over the course of 162 games?
But intensity without production is not leadership; it's the definition of a ticking time-bomb. If Martin Prado struggles, he will not be pleasant to be around and his leadership qualities will suffer; if he produces, his greatest gift to the D-backs will be the impact his person will have on his teammates. After all, a high tide floats all boats.
Here's hoping Prado is Poseidon.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Opentype has a major flaw in it. The limited size of the GPOS subtable is set at 64KB. That puts a cap on the amount of Kerning pairs a font can have. Most people will probably never go over the amount alloted but for those of us who do it really puts a damper on making fonts. I know House Industries had the same problem and posted a video on it. I am not sure what Microsoft can do at this point to fix it. Anybody who is involved with the opentype division at Microsoft, could you please pass this note to them.
This was addressed nine years ago. The "extension" lookuptype 9 for GPOS (lookuptype 7 for GSUB) was added to the OpenType spec with version 1.3, released in April 2001.
Now, be warned that some older apps and operating systems may not support extension lookups, but that is not something that can be addressed by the spec.
This is arguably just a workaround for a limitation in the format overall, but changing OpenType to use four-byte offsets instead of double-byte offsets would be a huge and highly incompatible change. Maybe some day there will be strong enough reason to do that, but I'm not expecting it will necessarily happen in my lifetime.
Thanks for the response Thomas. Thats too bad the Opentype will always be flawed. Oh well.....
How can I measure the GPOS subtable size in FontLab? I'd like to be able to expand kerning classes to squeak in just below the 64k limit.
Ideally, FontLab would have an option to expand kerning classes to fill the remainder of the GPOS subtable space. In the background, it would test compile, check the remaining GPOS subtable space and calculate how many pairs could be squeezed in.
A not-as-good but acceptable feature would be to produce an error message if the 64k limit was exceeded.
This reminds me of a previous Microsoft "oversight" – the infamous 640k restriction. Sounds like the short-sighted attitude is well entrenched in some minds.
I don't agree with Thomas' pessimistic timeframe though, just to quote Mr Gates:
"I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing enough freedom for 10 years. That is, a move from 64k to 640k felt like something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didn't - it took about only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem."
(1989 speech on the history of the microcomputer industry)
So, perhaps there is hope for the GPOS...
Ideally, FontLab would have an option to expand kerning classes to fill the remainder of the GPOS subtable space.
Why? In what way is that useful?
This reminds me of a previous Microsoft "oversight" – the infamous 640k restriction. Sounds like the short-sighted attitude is well entrenched in some minds.
Before we all start dumping on Microsoft, it should be pointed out that the table size limitations of OpenType, which affect almost every aspect of the architecture, date back to Apple's original TrueType spec.
Why? In what way is that useful?
If I don't expand, kerning won't appear in apps which don't support classes. I usually do around 2000 pairs and it doesn't break but I don't know what the limit really is.
I don't have a list of apps that don't support classes. MyFonts was my main concern for a long time. Not expanding kerning means broken kerning in some apps.
Are you talking about expanding classes and writing pairs to a kern table, or expanding classes to fill out the maximum size of a GPOS table, which is what you wrote.
I meant expanding classes and writing pairs to a kern table. When I add too many pairs, the OT code breaks in some apps. Is that unrelated to the 64k limit?
The kern table is unrelated to OTL, and it has a particular limitation all its own. See Josh Hadley's comment in this discussion:
Yup, limited to 10,920 pairs in apps that are sticklers for that aspect of the spec.
Individual apps faced with more than 2K or 4K pairs in a flat kern table may exhibit various kinds of failures. This was a serious problem about a decade ago, and although I expect the situation is much improved, I don't recall if anybody has done rigorous testing on it recently.
Ah. Okay, cheers.
John, I am not dumping on Microsoft per se. The bug of short sightedness afflicts us all at one point or another, and Microsoft did after all have the good sense to take your advise, on more than one occasion…
I am puzzled and curious though; did Microsoft, in devising the then-new OpenType standard, have to adhere to the historical table restrictions of Apple's original TrueType specifications? Was it not possible to just breakaway from these legacy restrictions and establish a less confined standard? Or did they just stick to the existing limitations out of convenience?
I think they had that idea of OpenType fonts remaining backward compatible i.e. for non-OpenType aware apps it still looks like good old TrueType font, so may be it has something to do with this issue.
Yes, backwards compatibility was one of Microsoft's goals.
And rightly so. Lack of backwards compatibility was one of the reasons Apple's GX typography originally failed (and has failed again in AAT form, though not as dramatically, in part because it is more backwards compatible).

MWC Preseason Release | AVCA Preseason Top-25
By Danny Mattie
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – With five returning starters and an incoming freshman class ranked No. 15 nationally by PrepVolleyball.com, the CSU volleyball team, coming off of a 25-6 season that included an MWC title, a final No. 17 national ranking, and a trip to the NCAA Regional Semifinals, was selected as the preseason favorite in the Mountain West by the league's coaches and a panel of select media.
Colorado State received 15 of 16 first-place votes to run away with the top spot in the preseason rankings, tallying 134 total points. Utah finished second in the vote with 104 points, followed by TCU (99) and New Mexico (96). BYU rounded out the top 5 with 85 points and was the only other program to receive a first-place vote. San Diego State (62) came in sixth, ahead of Wyoming (43), UNLV (36) and Air Force (16).
Two Rams also received recognition on the 2010 preseason All-MWC squad, highlighted by senior outside hitter Danielle Minch who was voted the favorite to repeat as Mountain West Player of the Year. Additionally, CSU's junior setter Evan Sanders, a 2009 all-MWC selection in her first season as the Rams' starter, was picked as the preseason Setter of the Year.
Other preseason all-MWC selections included New Mexico's Jade Michaelsen, San Diego State's Lauren Salisbury, Utah's Karolina Bartkowiak and Wyoming's Jody Purdy. Keisha Fisher of Utah was picked as the league's top libero.
Colorado State begins the 2010 campaign Aug. 27, hosting the Coors Rocky Mountain Challenge. The Rams open the season against ACC power Duke at 7 p.m. at Moby Arena. The Rams begin defense of the 2009 MWC title Sept. 24 at BYU. CSU's conference home opener is slated for Sept. 30 at 7 p.m. vs. San Diego State.
CSU enters the 2010 season looking for its 16th consecutive season with at least 20 victories and an appearance in the NCAA tournament.
AVCA national rankings announced
The American Volleyball Coaches' Association (AVCA) also announced its preseason Top-25 coaches' poll on Tuesday afternoon. Colorado State begins the 2010 campaign right where it left off in 2009: ranked No. 17 in the nation.
Colorado State's 2010 schedule will feature matches against six opponents that are either ranked or receiving votes in the preseason, highlighted by a Sept. 4 matchup at No. 13 Florida as part of the Gators' Campus USA Credit Union Invitational.
The schedule also includes non-conference home matchups with Duke (Aug. 27) and Long Beach State (Sept. 17), both of which are receiving votes.
Three other Mountain West Conference schools – Utah, New Mexico and San Diego State – are also receiving votes.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Apr 2011 19:22 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Yemen
Yemeni security forces have shot dead at least 16 anti-government demonstrators and wounded 30 in the city of Taiz, south of the capital Sanaa, medics said.
The violence began when thousands of protesters marched through Taiz toward Freedom Square, where demonstrators have been camped out.
As the march passed the governor's headquarters, troops stationed there blocked the procession, and clashes broke out, with some protesters throwing stones, witnesses said.
Troops on nearby rooftops opened fire with live ammunition on the crowd and the marchers then turned to besiege the governor's headquarters, said Bushra al-Maqtara, an opposition activist in Taiz, and other witnesses.
Fast-moving events
Al Jazeera's correspondent in Sanaa said "events are moving fast around the country".
"We're hearing from the doctors in a makeshift hospital that's actually a mosque in Taiz ... that they're running out of vital supplies and that they're in need of equipment in trying to deal with what's going on," said our reporter, who is not being named for security reasons.
Live Box 201131716250932154
Our correspondent added that protesters planned on meeting in three different locations, with one of them being near the presidential palace though it is feared that gathering there could escalate the violence between anti-government protesters and security forces.
The bloodshed in Taiz has further stoked the more than month-old uprising against Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh's 32-year-rule.
The opposition has been holding continual protest camps in main squares of cities around the country, and on Monday new demonstrations in solidarity with the Taiz protesters erupted in several places including the cities of Mukalla in the east, and Hudaida, on Yemen's western Red Sea coast.
In Hudaida, protesters tried to march on a presidential palace in the city but were blocked by security forces, who opened fire with tear gas and live ammunition, said activist Abdel-Hafiz al-Abbasi.
Our correspondent said at least 400 people have been wounded and many are in critical condition.
Security forces including the Republican Guard, for the first time, have fired on protesters as well as snipers positioned around Protest Square.

Vitamin E is also important for hair growth, as it stimulates your intake of oxygen and helps to improve your blood circulation as well. If your blood is circulating properly, then the growth of your hair will be enhanced. The proper circulation of blood is very important with hair growth, as the blood is what helps your hair to grow, and the necessary vitamins to flow through your body.
Another necessary vitamin for hair growth is biotin. You can find this essential source in rice, green peas, soybeans, oats, yeast, walnuts, and sunflower seeds. It is also found with some types of shampoos as well. If you are using shampoo that contains biotin, you'll be getting into your root tips faster, which will help to promote the growth of your hair. Even though you may be using shampoo that contains biotin, you'll still need to take the necessary vitamins and supplements as well.
Before you take any vitamins or supplements, you should always consult with your doctor and get his opinion. There may be some vitamins and supplements that you shouldn't be taking, which is why you should always consult with your doctor before you make any decision. Your doctor will be able to run tests and go through your history with you, letting you know what you can and can't take. This way, you can choose your vitamin supplements accordingly ? and know without a doubt that there will be no long term side effects or problems.

Fuel Injector Cleaners Contact info. On a smartphone, need to ask a question, to order products needed, call me at 512 665 3388 ...George
What you should know about fuel injectors
If your engine is not running as good as it had been, you may suspect your fuel injectors are dirty. To make sure, you ask your mechanic for his opinion. He may try to sell you a service, or send you to the part store for an additive.
You try the internet. Google ranks this site high for its educational value. So read on... to see what you can order to tune up and clean your injectors, and get your car running great again.
The alternatives in product types are detailed in a brief way for you to come to a conclusion of what's best for your car needs.
We favor the Mega Power Brand for car care and problem solving.
These 6 Fuel Injector Cleaners with MC+ from Mega Power gives almost instant problem-solving, power-restoring performance. This product -called a Treatment, ends rough idle, engine miss, stalling, lousy fuel economy - and rapid wear negatives. Order online below.
While part stores sell watered-down cleaners that do little good, Mega Power goes the other direction.
How so, you may wonder?
The answer is simple. Mega Power provides the strongest cleaners made! 3 are uses to clean injectors as good as any one can!
Conditioners are included, to give your engine additional anti-wear, and problem-solving advantages - no other fuel injector cleaner has!
Friction modifiers are also included - no other fuel injector cleaner has! Though 100% professional...
The install is easy. Nothing to take apart. The price is right, and the value cannot be matched except at 4 times our price!
While the cleaning actions provided are very complex, the install is easy for any non-mechanic. For example...
The common mechanic's practice is to clean the gas side, where fuel and cleaner is sent into your dirty injector spraying nozzles to clean them. They cause trouble when dirty. The service can run at car dealership from $125 on up!
However, did you know...
Your motor has 6 sub-systems - all of which get dirty - just like injectors due - and cause their own wear increasing problems, less noticeable. We include cleaning tips for those sub-systems for you too, as you go.
Other cleaners and conditioners end increasing friction attacking your pistons, bearings, valves and gears. These cause performance problems most mechanics think are cause by dirty injectors.
Mega Power's method is to have you easily install a cleaner for each system - in 2 simple steps. Its easy to do - I'll show you how.
In just a few minutes to let Mega Power's 6 Hi-tech chemical cleaners clean all 6 systems in your motor you can quickly end rough idle, engine miss, stalling, lousy fuel economy and several other wear and friction related engine problems. Order online below.
All other cleaners use detergents and solvents. Some add to the problem indirectly.
BG 44k is a injector cleaner detergent similar to what was added to gas at the refinery, but removed by the Government, not for its cleaning ability - which is good, but for a gummy residue it leaves behind, that may affect sticky valves and cause smog problems. Gain some, lose some with that cleaner - is my thinking.
Mega Power is shown above along with Mega Power's Engine Oiling System Cleaners. The 6 are called, a fuel injector cleaning treatment. They give you about 4 years service before a repeat is needed - like when your car was new. Cost: under $100.
They are the strongest overall Professional Cleaning Kits made to get your motor like-new running again - yourself!
You can buy just the injector cleaner, or any or all of the 6 to cover your needs and your budget. That's good to knbow1
The whole motor problem and the treatment for it.
Today's Hi-tech fuel injected car and truck motors are touchy machines having dirty conditions to cause rough idle, stalling, engine miss, and blacker exhaust problems.
However, those are no problem to end by cleaning with Mega Power.
And, I'll show you the way to clean your dirty injectors - and a lot more - by one of 3 known methods.
First of all, you need to know, many sub-systems contribute to the overall great performance of your motor.
Why not select a product to clean all of them - for maximum results - not just fuel injectors, which is only a 10% contributor.
That is the Mega Power idea and Method.
Today's Hi-tech motors are not able to run right if sticky residues from the motor's smog system circulates such, it reduces fuel injector fuel fogging.
Mega Power solves both problems.
Then too, there is
Mega Power solves those problems too.
You can now easily clean your fuel system and dirty injectors and end other hidden wear-increasing problems in your motor.
That's what is needed and of course, you want cleaned - as you clean your fuel injectors - all for a greater power restoring advantage.
Now made easy to install by Mega Power and me. Nothing to take apart. Works in 20 minutes time.
Select one of these 3 new type cleaners. Each offers more performance-solving, power restoring features - One will be right to end your rough idle, surge, stalling, engine miss, power loss, and tap problems.

Over the years, we tested dozens of brands of injector cleaners. We use 3 simple test to determine what brands are "good" or "no-good" - besides customer feedback about results noticed.
We favor the Mega Power Brand because they:
They clean fuel injectors
Why test for those advantages? Those advantages are important to your motors well-being, its longest possible, trouble-free life, and your wallet? Consider why...
All fuels and oils come with sulfates. Sulfates become acidic and are the most common cause of rapid wear and injector based problems. No good, for sure!
In the presence of condensation - found in every gas tank, sulfates turn that moisture acidic. This produces a long list of negative wear, performance and idling problems. This includes a big cause of dirty injectors. And, of course combustion deposits. No other brand is stronger, or as fast-acting as Mega Power.
All Mega Power Products stop acid damage as they clean. A two-in-one benefit.

Oklahoma City, OK -- State and federal disaster recovery agencies will open a Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) in Apache at 9 a.m. on Friday, December 1, to serve homeowners, renters and business owners affected by the storms and flooding in southwest Oklahoma between October 21 and 29. The Apache center is located at the former Family Medical Clinic Building, 121 East Evans St.
Residents with storm or flooding damages to their home, personal belongings or business property in Caddo and Grady counties are urged to apply for assistance by calling 800 462-9029 or, for the hearing or speech impaired, TTY 800-462-7585. Both numbers are available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week. The application process only takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
"Applying by phone is a quick and efficient way to help those who need it," said Fred Liebe, State Coordinating Officer (SCO) for Oklahoma. "We will share that information with other state and federal agencies, as well as volunteer organizations, to get them the help they need."
After calling the toll-free application number for assistance, disaster victims may then visit the center to meet face-to-face with recovery specialists. Representatives of local, state and federal agencies, as well as volunteer agencies, will be on hand to provide program and service information. The Apache center will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday until further notice and on Sunday, December 3, from 1p.m. to 6 p.m.

"Technical assistance on how to minimize future flood damages and information on the National Flood Insurance Program will also be available," he said..

The best pumpkin bread recipe
By Matthew Thompson, October 18, 2011 - 11:06am
Add to your list of fall's simple pleasures—along with turning leaves, apple cider and professional football (Go Giants!)—the return of pumpkin-flavored foods. I love pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pie, pumpkin beer and even pumpkin candy when I can find it. What a great flavor! Pumpkin balances the sweet, light taste of squash with a decadent rich texture that feels almost velvety on the tongue.
Recipes to Try:
Pumpkin Dessert Recipes for Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cookies & More
Roasted-Pumpkin Apple Soup & More Pumpkin Recipes
Of all my beloved pumpkin baked goods, pumpkin bread has got to be top of the list. It seems like every year I've forgotten about it until it turns up at my local bakery (or in our oven, courtesy of my baking-fiend wife!). And then, of course, pure pleasure: delicate, cakey texture, rich flavor and just a hint of comforting fall spices. Mmmm.
Must-Read: 6 Healthiest Fall Vegetables to Eat Right Now
The only drawback to pumpkin bread has got to be the health factor. Simply put: even healthier breads are pretty rich. And sweetened-up, dense pumpkin breads can often be calorie bombs. That's why I love the EatingWell recipe so much: it finds ways to keep the calorie count down without sacrificing flavor. By swapping healthy canola oil for butter and keeping a lid on the sugar, it manages to shave a respectable 30 calories and 4 grams of fat per slice, so you don't have to feel guilty about celebrating the season in style!
