Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Opening hearts to the homeless
High school students live as street people to learn compassion
At first, all I knew was the long line of backpacking teenagers looked out of place marching through the Exchange District after dark on a wintry March night.
Where were they from? Where were they going and why?
It turned out they were part of the 37-member graduating class of Winnipeg's Calvin Christian School and they were headed back to their temporary new home, which earlier in the day, they had been told no longer had room for them.
Pack up and move along.
The students didn't know it, but their "eviction" was a mock exercise to offer them a taste of hunger and homelessness on Winnipeg streets.
Now that it was dark -- and the kids had seen the light -- they were returning to Siloam Mission, the homeless shelter that had been their home for the last six days. By night, they slept on the floor of an otherwise deserted fourth level of the brick building. By day, they lived among, and served, the 300 to 350 people Siloam feeds every day.
In the process, the students confronted prejudgments about poverty and street people that they might have brought to their week of living compassionately. Some probably arrived with the same attitudes that program creator Lindsay Smith had when she was their age. That was long before she came up with the idea that has attracted students from Costa Rica to Calgary, from Portage la Prairie to Minneapolis and even Iowa in the last three years.
"It's my personal story lived out," is how Lindsay explains the so-called Under the Radar program.
Lindsay is 30 now, and the director of Siloam's volunteer services. But as a 19-year-old growing up in the sheltered prosperity of North Kildonan, the former University of Manitoba volleyball player remembers being afraid of the street people she saw when she went home from her summer job and had to transfer to a bus in front of Portage Place.
"Why don't they just get a job?" she recalls thinking.
"Oh, yes," she smiles now, "I was very ignorant."
Young Lindsay had other questions about homelessness back then.
Why, she wondered, does it still persist in a city that's so generous?
As a teenager, Lindsay only knew of one place to get the answers: from the homeless themselves. But to do that, she would have to confront what really separated her from understanding more about them.
Her fear.
"One day," she says, "I just got fed up. I started talking to panhandlers to get over a fear of homeless people."
The first one was a man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s. It can be tough to tell with street people. His name was Hank, he had a guitar and it was his music that drew her to him.
"I recognized the song he was playing."
It was one of Johnny Cash's tunes, or that's what Lindsay thought at the time.
Hank corrected her.
Kris Kristofferson wrote the lyrics and melody of Sunday Morning Coming Down, a song sung from the perspective of a hungover drunk who awakes to the emptiness of a Sunday morning street that mirrors the loneliness of his life. Hank was playing that one, he told Lindsay, because it was the narrative of his life.
"The pain of separation," is how Lindsay interpreted that.
After that, Lindsay felt emboldened to talk to others like Hank. She began packing bagels with cream cheese and offering it to homeless people as a way to help the conversation and satiate her curiosity.
"If someone could give you anything to help you," she would ask them, "what would that be?"
"My own space," one told her. "If I could just have one little corner, I could keep clean."
Another wanted something that would help him deal with addictions. And then there was one who just wanted food.
"Where do you get your food?" Lindsay asked.
The answer led her to Siloam Mission for more answers. That summer, she volunteered in the soup kitchen.
"I did it once," Lindsay says, "And that changed my whole life."
That, I gather, is why Lindsay Smith created the program that brought Calvin Christian School's graduating class to Siloam Mission this week.
If not to change their lives, to at least open their hearts.
But the truth is, it wasn't volunteering at the soup kitchen, or even listening to Hank sing Sunday Morning Coming Down, that changed Lindsay Smith's whole life.
It was Lindsay Smith.
The candle of compassion was already there and only needed to be lit.
Ultimately, what it took was her courage and her refusal to be afraid of people who have so little.
And who ask for even less.
Lessons learned
Here's what one group of high school students learned last year from their week-long experience of sleeping and serving at Siloam Mission:
-- 'One thing that was a really big step for me is the realization that people who don't have homes are, in fact, people, who I can relate to, talk to, and learn from.'
-- 'I loved the activities and loved how we were able to go and experience things instead of just listening to an education session.'
'I learned I'm not so afraid of downtown anymore.'
-- 'I learned that these people need help and I could be the one to do it.' -- 'I learned how homelessness can affect or happen to anyone. It shows you how the homeless in Winnipeg come from all walks of life.'
-- 'I learned how relevant of an issue homelessness is in Winnipeg and how they're just people, too. You can go to another country for a mission trip, but at some point you've got to acknowledge what's going on in your own backyard.'

air return duct
i was quoted a price of $900.00 to install one 14" return air duct, replace the "return box" on the attic unit with a box that can receive both the original 18" duct and the new 14" duct.
price includes labor, material
seems high for installing one return duct
it will only be about 15' from the unit in an open attic
we have a 5 ton unit that is 10 years old and has been running fine with the original 18" return duct.
the unit started "freezing up" 2 days ago with no other symptoms. temp is the normal north texas summer of 95 to 100 degrees.
the problem started all at once.
filter size is 20x25x1 and is changed every 2 months, filter was not dirty.
any thoughts or suggestions???
Too many possibilities and too few answers are presented. Either you arn't accuratly relaying techs findings or the tech isn't sure what he is doing. Adding return doesn't adiquatly address the problems. Before we can help you,we need some answers,starting with. Was the refrigerant leak found and repaired? Was the evap coil inspected and/or cleaned? Has evap blower been tested and eliminated as cause of insufficent air flow? That is only the start but is at least somthing to work with going foward.

Naked Moonbat Perverts Run Wild in San Francisco
Decent people are advised to steer well clear of San Francisco, where the depraved Nancy Pelosi-electing locals have once again refused to wear clothing in public:
Several dozen men and at least one woman took part in a naked protest Saturday in an area of the Castro District neighborhood that has become known for its nude visitors. Several carried signs that read, "Nudity is Not a Crime" and "Get Your Hate Off My Body," as they milled around, undeterred by the brisk weather and light mist.
Nudity is not the only thing the Castro District is known for. Male tourists who venture into this inner circle of moonbat hell are advised that if you drop your wallet, better to just leave it than to risk bending over.
San Francisco generally allows public nudity, but a city supervisor has proposed regulating the practice. Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would require the clothing-averse to cover up in restaurants. It would also require nudists to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if they take a seat in public.
San Francisco bureauweenies must be running out of things to regulate, having already addressed goldfish and breakfast contents.
The event, which had been scheduled before Wiener's proposal was announced, was part of the unofficial celebrations leading up to the annual Folsom Street Fair, billed as the world's largest leather and fetish event.
The Folsom Street Fair features not only public nudity, but revolting acts of homosexual depravity performed on city streets in the presence of children. At least liberals have an alternative to the family values they despise.
The perverts participating in the nude-in chose to hold it near a screening of "The Littlest Mermaid" so as to disgust and horrify the maximum number of children and their parents. Don't forget to approve of their behavior lest someone call you a homophobe.

Flixel Photos Cinemagraph Pro
When we initially came across Flixel Photos' Cinemagraph Pro ($200*) we though it looked neat enough, but the price tag was nuts. Now it's marked down almost 93% to $15 for a limited time, and at that price level, it certainly demands some attention. The app does something we've never seen executed so easily before: it allows you to create "living photos," pictures with moving parts.
Using a movie file as the initial input, you can select a specific region of the video to mask—preserving all of the detail and motion within the masked area—while leaving the rest of the image completely static. The resulting file can be outputted as a GIF or otherwise animated, looping video for embedding on a web site, radically reducing the file size relative to a full movie clip while giving a flat web site some slight, eye-catching motion. Resolution support is included for 4K videos and displays, as well as lower-res files.

side note, this wasent directed at you snoge. just my rant got hyped after reading your post so fast quote. but yeah lest they did tone down the placate on sheilds along time ago but its still bs. its so stupid how the poeple that shot me down about tractors and placate and both combined now come to fourms looking to get it nerfed. and its just like i said, if they put it on a sheild i bet it will come as a passive. and that was a half joke back then. cant believe they actually did it lol.
Not to defend the KHG placate, but there's a huge difference between the two. Against the KHG the attacker has the option of not shooting and just spamming Sci abilities the OP mentions including TBing a target and debuffing it further. Then switching to another target while the TB remains up and allies attack the debuffed target. I had found this to be more of an annoyance than anything.
Now you have builds w/~20% CritH chance which basically means all they need to do is attack you and you're going to get placated. They now have greater control over who gets placated when. So, you can't count on using TB to get a positional advantage even if you aren't firing. This hurts not just offensive output, but defensive positioning.
The KDF Vet ship kept me around for awhile, but it's getting harder and harder to log on anymore. (FYI, can't remember the last time I used KHG shields, I prefer the Omega set).

Painting Glass Shower Door
Hi, I am new here and have some questions about a project I want to do in the near future.
I have a shower door that is glass and I want to paint the outside surface with a very light water color effect lily pads and lilies and fish scene.
I am not familiar with what products will work best. Should I spray the door with a sealant first to give it some tooth to hold the paint? what kind of paint should I use? What should I use on top of the paint to seal it?
Thanks! Mary
Hi luvnaz61, Welcome to the forum. I was hoping someone else with experience in painting on glass would jump in here with an answer for you.
I can think of a couple ideas for you. One is to use a stencil and glass etching creme to do a design on your door.
My other idea would be to research the glass paints a bit. There are several brands available with one of the most common being Perm enamel.
You might also be able to use the Gallery glass since it will be on the outside of your shower door--but I'm pretty sure that you would not be able to wipe the door down with that one.
Maybe just go to Michaels and read some labels on the various glass paints and then make your selection. Sure sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I went to JoAnn's last night and bought some tracing paper so I can get the design onto the shower door full size and not free hand it. I'm going to take a photo that I have of the design I want to paint to a reprographics shop so they can enlarge it to the size it will be on the door. Then I'll trace it.
I looked at paint and it seems that enamels are the thing to use. I may just buy a glass painting kit that I saw. It has brushes and an assortment of paint colors and hopefully some tips and instructions!
The best paint to use is an acrylic enamel paint as this is durable once cured. If you use a regular acrylic paint, then you must use a clear acrylic sealer. Let us see pix when you've finished. I'm sure it will look great.

We have a 1 roomed apartment with our own kitchen, a small bathroom, a veranda and a small yard at the back (where we usually tan, and hang our washing). We live in a residence area, so the people here are friendly and open. The shop is at the end of our street with a small ...

... at a local bar for 10 mins before we actually left. Feeling a little uncomfortable: 2 blondes in shorts with luggage at a local bar at midday, with a bar filled with men on a Saturday afternoon with open shirts and big stomachs! Charming..
Finally we left, we boated for just 3min, and then stopped at our boats man's house. Here we had lunch- rice and chicken. Simple can be tasty!
Then the journey started. We boated for about an hour through swampy areas. We boated ...
... It is covered. So one is not bothered by the rain unless one considers the added humidity. One does not graduate too air conditioned comfort until being cleared by Immigration.
While sitting in the waiting room I saw a private Cessna Stationair 6II pull up. Two passengers were let out of the waiting area. They got in the Cessna and were off in a flash.
There were only five of us for the Suriname ...

iFindMyCar : Precise
By Tim Barrell
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
iFindMyCar is a simple to use and effective means of storing and retrieving your exact car location, using GPS.
In contrast to the other car location Apps currently on the App Store, this application has the added benefit of being able to manually drag and drop your car location to an exact point on the map, if the GPS is at all inaccurate.
If required, just press and hold the car location pin and you can then manually drag the pin to a more accurate location. The new address details will then be automatically updated and stored for you.
There is also a Notes view where you can add extra information about where the car is parked.
When retrieving the car location you can also view your current location on the map and switch between the two, to make it easier to find your way back to the car.
5 Stars.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand.
Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear.
Love is a quality, not a quantity.
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs, Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes, Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall and a preserving sweet.
– William Shakespeare, Romeo, in Romeo and Juliet, act 1, sc. 1.
Love is a symbol of mutual tolerance and unbiased vision. We should meet each person with love and respect, regardless of nationality, color, or religion. Permeated by love, no one takes up arms, to kill others.
Love is an irresistable desire to be irresistably desired.
Love is dialougue, not monolougue
Love is Free, Its the Pain in the end, you pay for.
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
Love is like Christmas; you're surprised by this wonderful gift and can hear the angels sing.
Love is like war easy to begin but very hard to stop.
Love is not about others; love is a practice of self-mastery.
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.
Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.
Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky, Before the sun came out. You cannot touch the clouds, you know but you feel the rain and know How glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either, But you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything.
Love is substance; Lust, illusion. Only in the surge of passion do the two mingle in confusion.
Love is tears of joy, It's the baptism of fingers. (L'amour, c'est larme de joie, C'est le baptême des doigts)
Love is the first wisdom in life.
– Emanuel Swedenborg, From the book "Divine Love and Wisdom" #1
Love is the strongest feeling a person can feel and to have the one you love, love you back is the greatest gift you could ever receive.
Love is the triump of imagination over intelligence.
Love is the vital essence that pervades and permeates, from the center to the circumference, the graduating circles of all thought and action. Love is the talisman of human weal and woe--the open sesame to every soul.
Love is what you've been through with somebody.
Love is winning the war without starting the war. (L'amour, c'est gagner la guerre sans commencer la guerre)

Euro Area Credit Market Charts
Below is our customary collection of CDS prices, bond yields, euro basis swaps and several other charts. Both charts and price scales are color coded. Prices are as of Thursday's close. The plunge in euro basis swaps continues and our proprietary euro-bank CDS index is at a new high. CDS on Greece have exploded into the blue yonder.
5 year CDS on Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain – a new all time high for CDS on Greece, which now clock in at an unbelievable 7,900 basis points. Whoever it was that 'bought the dip' following the haircut agreement has made a huge profit.
5 year CDS on France, Belgium, Ireland and Japan – CDS on France and Belgium continue to be at levels that can not be reconciled with their current credit ratings.
5 year CDS on Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary and Austria.
5 year CDS on Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia and Slovakia – several new highs here as well.
5 year CDS on Romania, Poland, Slovakia and Estonia.
5 year CDS on Germany, the U.S. and the Markit SovX index of CDS on 19 Western European sovereigns. The SovX is off just a tiny bit from a recent all time high.
Three month, one year and five year euro basis swaps – the plunge continues following the recent break of support.
Our proprietary unweighted index of 5 year CDS on eight major European banks (BBVA, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Societe Generale, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Intesa Sanpaolo and Unicredito) – a new all time high!
5 year CDS on Austria's Erstebank and Raiffeisen Bank (based to 100 as of August) – also still rising.
10 year government bond yields of Italy, Greece, Portugal and Spain – Spain's yields continue to play catch-up with Italy's.
10 year government bond yield of Austria, the 9 year government bond yield of Ireland, U.K. Gilts and the Greek 2 year note.
10 year government bond yield of France - a slight dip.
10 year government bond yield of Spain - new high (today it increased further, to 6.77%).
10 year government bond yield of Portugal – consolidating in its recent trading range. This is one that needs to be closely watched – we think Portugal may yet turn into the next Greece, although a recent 'troika' assessment confirmed that the country's fiscal plans remain on track. Alas, the economic downturn may yet alter that happy situation in coming months.
Italy's 10/2 spread remains very tight and close to inversion.
Germany's vice chancellor and economy minister Philip Rösler has come up with a great idea: end the bull market in emergency meetings.
As the WSJ reports:
"German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler has had a fantastic idea that should help us out of the euro crisis swamp. Europe needs stronger political integration, he said Thursday. The common currency needs common rules, he said. Some sovereign rights may have to be relinquished, he added.
That's all well and good.
But his best idea, indeed probably the best proposal put forward by any European official so far, is this: Limit the number of crisis summits. Note: not the number of crises. Just the number of summits.
It's tough to see how this could work. Should the eurocrats stand back when the flames are licking at their feet, and do nothing to reassure markets? Or is Mr. Roesler indirectly affirming what we all already know: The summits somehow seem to make everything worse?"
Indeed, the track record of these emergency summits isn't very good so far. As a side effect, cutting down on them would save tax payers a nice bundle as well, both directly and indirectly.

PadMapper makes apartment hunting less awful, almost fun. It does this by plotting the apartments on a big map, and letting you filter for exactly what you want. There are also neat overlays to help you learn about the different areas.
My goal with PadMapper is to make apartment hunting into something people no longer dread. It shouldn't have to be harder than buying a car. You shouldn't have to deal with slimy people. You shouldn't have to make big Excel spreadsheets to keep track of what you've seen and what you think. Landlords should respond to your emails, and once you move in, you should be treated well. I'm going to help make it that way.
Here's our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
I was looking for a place with some friends in NYC in the summer of 2008, and it ended up taking us 6 months. This was our first time, so we got scammed more than once by brokers and shady landlords.
In between scams, I sifted through thousands of Craigslist listings, and it was getting to the point where I was losing hope. It was like wading through my spam folder trying to find real emails. I'd click and read each listing, only to find out that it was in a bad location, or it looked like a slum, or there was a toilet in the kitchen, or it was too "cozy" to fit a double bed.
So, I ended up writing what became the first version of PadMapper to do most of the sifting for me and generally make the hunt better. I've used it and the iPhone app in 3 apartment hunts since then, and it has found me a place quickly each time.
I hope it helps you and your friends find a great place to live. Good luck with your hunt!
If there's anything that confuses you, or you see any bugs, please email me at email@example.com. Feedback really helps - user feedback is the reason PadMapper is what it is today.

Finally, some good boiling beef.
We really stocked up. Specialty meat market in North Platte buys swinging beef by the half and cuts there own after aging it. Its not aged like they do fine steaks but has some age on it.
The boiling beef all has the bone in it and we bought 12 pounds of beef shanks and a bunch of 7 bone roasts which can be turned into boiling beef or pot roasted. It is all local grass fed beef NOT from feed lots where they feed the animals unmentionable things just to get weight on them.
Yes, the price was perhaps one and a half times what we would pay in a supermarket but have had a couple of meaty shanks boiling for almost 2 hours and the aroma is wonderful.
It is getting almost impossible to buy beef on the bone anymore from a supermarket, everything is shipped in from who knows where and it is cheaper to ship without the bones. We even bought 6 pounds of beef bones which he cut up in 2 inch chunks for us.
Looking forward to lots of beef and noodles, pot roasts, beef stew and just plain boiled beef with lots of horseradish
A pot roast first. You're right, it's got to have the bone in, for best flavor although if bones aren't available pouring ¼ cup strong black coffee over the roast at the beginning does wonders. The next day, leftover bits get chopped fine, mixed with chopped onion and a tiny bit of shredded potato with enough peppery gravy to hold it together; and tucked into a pastie. It won't be nearly as good as Gandle's, but I guess I'll have to do a roast tomorrow.
Oh thank God I am in a beef-raising county and there are little local abattoirs. Several of them show up at Farmer's Market on Saturdays, but in wintertime...you gotta drive there.
Your post got me to drooling. There is a richness to meat simmered with the bones in, and it comes from the marrowfat of the bone. I used to be able to identify how good a cut of meat was at a market by looking at the slice of bone in it. Now, if one goes to a supermarket, the evidence has been surgically removed! When I get the creatively cut roasts home I ask my dh the butcher and often as not, the store meat cutters have hedged a little moving down the muscles to include parts they shouldn't and leaving out parts they should have included.
He just got back from a visit with his 80 something year old uncle who also worked many years in the family abattoir. They both tilt over sideways in the same direction and they have come to the conclusion it was from decades of hoisting halves of beef carcasses over one shoulder in the days before cryovac and primal cuts.
Enjoy your booty.

How diversified are small town revenues? Revenue diversification is analyzed among towns governed by town meetings. Using previously developed diversification measures, the findings confirm that these localities draw from less diverse revenue streams than other state and local governments. The reasons for these variations include differences in home rule status as well as tax and expenditure limitations imposed by states. The authors suggest that revenue allocation in these jurisdictions is substantively different from other forms of local government because these communities rely much less on sales taxation than states and municipalities. Their essay proposes possible options for improvement, along with other criteria by which small towns can assess their revenue diversification.

rings of color on TV
Hi. We have a Samsung 1080i HDTV. It is 1-2 years old. Three separate times we have had the same problem. The TV works fine then we turned it on and the color was all off. Nothing is the correct color. When we switch to Video to watch a DVD you can see on the first blue screen that there is a circle of red in the middle surrounded by a ring of green, then a ring of blue and then green again. It affects any setting the TV is on. The first time this happened the discoloration lasted about 2 weeks and then one morning just turned the TV on and it was fine. It was good for a few months then happened again. Each time it lasts a couple of weeks then just fixes itself. We have tried unplugging the TV overnight, resetting the TV and cable box. Has anyone heard of this and does anyone know how to fix it?

plugs on the counter
This is mostly a hypothetical question, but I'd like to know if it is possible (as in code legal) to put plugs on the counter instead of on the wall in the backsplash? Has anyone ever done this?
I know there are products like plug mold and mockett and it seems that the kitchen would be so much prettier with plugs located on the back of the counter instead of higher on the walls. And I've seen some pretty kitchens with the plugs under the upper cabinets, but as one who never uses anything above the first shelf of an upper cabinets, I refuse to even entertain upper cabinets. And I much prefer to cut the counter for plugs than to cut the backsplash tile.
Your thoughts? Pictures? Ideas? Suggestions? Words of warning?
It's not code acceptable to place outlets in a wet locations like kitchen counters. For obvious reasons.
The only obvious area seems to be immediately surrounding the sink, but there is often a significant amount of counter and backsplash that is not near the sink and not in a wet area - so it's not so obvious to me why it can't be done at all.
I read the code (NEC-210) which says not 18" above the counter and every counter longer than 1' must have a receptacle every 4'. And I can understand why it's not safe for electrical plugs to be put in wet areas, though electrical switches are often right next to sinks.
So what if, in keeping with the 18" rule, there was... like a pumpout of a few inches placed 4 inches above the counter. I've seen many counters with the 4" of counter material on the wall, so if that space were built out a bit, plugs could go there. Yes? No?
I think I need to ask this is electrical too.
Actually, I really do want plugs at the back of the counter, but am coming to realize I may not be able to have them. I'm a big girl who can clean and cook without electrocuting myself. Which is really too bad - I hate it when I am so protected by rules that I can't have something I want. There has to be a way to make this work.
Thanks anyway.
Try the link below
Here is a link that might be useful: Pop-up Receptacle
Receptacles and covers come in many many colors more than just the standard white and ivory shown at the big boxes. Have the actual plug done in a color that blends in, and you can photocopy your tile to decopauge a "wallpaper ready" plate cover. They all but disappear then.
Buehl posted photos of her Mocketts on this thread. Try an internet search for "gardenweb.com mockett buehl" to find more threads.

> Have the actual plug done in a color that blends in, and you can
> photocopy your tile to decopauge a "wallpaper ready" plate cover.
If your backsplash is stone or large tiles, you can have outlet covers made from the same stone. Someone here on the forums (maybe cloud_swift) posted photos of hers and a link to the company that made them. (They're up in Oregon, I think.)
Thanks so much Breezy - and searching Google has to be better than searching here where I couldn't find anything.
If I have to, I will just suck it up and deal with sockets in the backsplash - even with the colored covers, I'm not groovy on it. But right now, I'm still hopeful of finding an alternative.
"Fron the conpany's website.
"The GFCI receptacle is rated at 15 amps, 125 volts AC and 60 Hertz. It is compliant with UL 943, CSA C22.2 No. 144.1, NEC Section 210.52(C)(5) and NEC Section 406.5(E)." "
You want a copy if the actual listing granted by the lab that verified compliance, not claims on a web site.
I'd go with strips of outlets up under the upper cabs. You need outlets on the walls around the workspace, and putting them on the counters is just going to bite you in the butt when something spills on the counter. Will also be a real sticking point when you go to sell your house in the future and the inspector tells the potential buyer they need to rip out the counters and move the outlets.
Here is a link that might be useful: Discussion on under cab outlets
Well of course you can have wet rated exterior grade outlets (with all of their obvious installation) in a wet location, but normal everyday household outlets, no, those can't be in a shower or on a kitchen counter.
Many inspectors do not allow the Mockets because they are essentially "extension cords", not direct hardwired outlets as the NEC requires. It's best to get all of the literature and certifications and make a trip down in person to talk to the electrical inspector in the codes office before planning on using them. They might say no, but they might say yes instead. A lot of times it depends on the actual inspector that you get, so it's best to talk with the top guy first if you can.
Thanks so much everyone. I will not have upper cabinets because to me they're mostly a waste of space since I can only easily reach the first shelf. Bottom drawers and cabs with two 36" pantries are the way I'm going.
I like both the Mockett and the plug mold under the counter/top of bottom cabs. I don't leave small appliances on the countertops so not having a place for the coffee maker for coffee that I don't drink is not a problem. I understand no plugs ON the conuters (horizontal), but under the countertop along the edge and Mocketts would work great for me.
And I know it sounds selfish, but this house will be sold when I am carted off to the oold folks home or when I'm dead - what others do after the fact is not a concern of mine. for now, I want the house the way I want the house - future buyers and sellers can do as they please.
Thanks for the heads-up Brickeye on verifying the certification.
Thanks for posting these solutions. We don't have upper cabinets either and complicating things more is that most of the walls are windowed. Can someone pease post a picture of the under counter idea? Not sure I know how that works. Are they just essentially part of the cabinet so the cabinet drawer is smaller?
Take a look at this older thread.
If you scroll down, you'll find pics.
Here is a link that might be useful: plugs under the counter
Thanks for pointing me to those pictures. Very helpful! I may see if that will work. This is the kitchen inspiration we are trying to achieve and they just put the outlets in the lower cabinets. Only 2 of them along the sink wall (plus one at the end) which doesn't look too bad. We liked the idea of our countertop flush with the cabinets - a more contemporary style, which would mean we would have to have outlets as in the picture. If we have a slight overhang then we can do it as was posted in that previous thread. Thanks for all the ideas!!
I did look into placing them on the window ledge and my architect tried but we can't because they don't work for various reasons. I will likely just go with what is pictured as it will be the simplest solution.
Sillites can be installed in window sills (their original intention). They are UL and NEC rated so meet code. I used two in my kitchen.
Here's one I put into the end of a 4" thick wall. I couldn't have used a traditional duplex outlet here without destroying the structural integrity of the wall and didn't want to drill into my peninsula cabs in such a visible spot. Sillite to the rescue! (The paining here is now finished so the wall is now the same color as my fridge end panel creating a more cohesive look.)
If you are putting them in the backsplash, be sure your electrician puts them lower than ours did...I'd mind them a lot less if they were closer to the counter. In the craft room, he put them even higher which I hate....never noticed or thought to notice until the counters went in and it was too late....
Annie - that is the reason for this post. I want to understand my options before I get started beause I already know that I don't want electrical receptacles marring the back splash tile so need to learn how NEC applies, what materials and options are available, and the possibilities of having what I want before I get started.
I can only afford to do this once - I want to get it right.
