Stocks that pay a healthy dividend are usually a good choice when looking for new investments.
The ratio of dividend payment to stock price is called the dividend yield. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the share price.
The result is what percentage return a company pays out to shareholders in the form of dividend. This measurement is important especially when companies are sitting on piles of cash.
When a company has a lot of free cash on hand, management must decide what to do with the money. They can acquire market share by expanding or buying a competitor. They can also make investments in other companies or they can return some of the money to the owners (stockholders) of the company.
Paying dividends may not be the best use of cash, especially for growing companies, however it is often the best choice for investors.

The Mystery of Oregon's 'Dead Zone' 235
from the behind-the-scary-door dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Yep. In order for "the culprit may be global warming" to qualify as an explanation, you'd have to detail just how you think global warming would have anything to do with this.maybe I have the wrong definition of explanation
These effects - identified as early as 1990 by researcher Andrew Bakun, then with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's fisheries lab in Monterey, Calif. - turbocharge the upwelling. This overloads the waters with nutrients and spawns large algae blooms.
Hey, that's exactly what the OP said!
No, the OP just said "The culprit is global warming", and deemed it an explanation. I was pointing out that that in itself, whether a fuller explanation exists in TFA or not, does not itself constitute an explanation. He could have said "RTFA: the culprit is global warming", or said exactly what you said, quoting the article, or done a study entirely his own and drawn these same conclusions, reporting them against all standard practices in a comment on slashdot. But,
Yep. In order for "the culprit may be global warming" to qualify as an explanation, you'd have to detail just how you think global warming would have anything to do with this.
Well Mr. SmartyPants, think about it.
Have you seen any large wooden ships in the area? Seen any flags with skull and crossbones? Huh? Have you?
Still don't see it? Man, some scientist you'd make...
No drunken songs heard in the night? No parrots? Eyepatches?
Good God man, it's the PIRATES! There aren't any in the area, and haven't been for a while. It's scientific fact: the absence of pirates leads to global warming.
Don't pretend they didn't teach you this in school.
We need a *massive* pirate infusion here. I mean, invite them from madagascar or something. Just get enough pirates in there to balance the ecosystem.
I've sent this proposal to the President many times, and he's never even given me the decency of a reply. I'm heading to the White House this weekend and getting right up on his lawn with my bullhorn so he can see me. To drive my point home, I'm going to wave a shotgun around while I say it. This will really help me get my message across.
Don't know. Did they tell anyone that they looked into it? Or should we just assume this?Right, because scientists in the field of study who are stumped couldn't possibly have already looked into that and discounted it?
Follow the link, it's a good article.
In an environment of such poor scientific integrity, there's nothing wrong with a layperson hitting the books and forming their own theories. They're probably just as good as any so-called expert's.

Nuh-uh, man, it's global warming. Anyone who says it's not is a right-wing fascist who can just shut up! I bet Al Gore could tell us -- we need to get him to look at it. Come on, we can draft Al to lead the world to victory against the capitalists and SUV drivers. Then we'll execute them all, and in time life will return to the oceans!

From the article:
"This overloads the waters with nutrients and spawns large algae blooms. The algae sink, die, and decompose, in a process that sucks oxygen out of the water and the topmost layer of sediment on the bottom, where many worms and shellfish live."
Fosfate/nitrate (among others) --> Nutritions for algae --> No oxygen
The "mystery" is where the polution is coming from.
The "mystery" is where the polution is coming from.
It is also possible the whales, or lack of them play a part. Would say 500 missing whales eat a lot of plankton and algae? This would mean there would not be as much to fall and rot.
Maybe oil from Alaska leaking from old rusty tankers.
Maybe someone saved some disposal costs and dropped in 50 barrels of toxic waste.
I have seen this on interior freshwater lakes where in 1968 the water was clear, fresh and loaded with large and small fish. In 1998 I wa
This overloads the waters with nutrients and spawns large algae blooms. The "mystery" is where the polution is coming from.
It's really annoying how "nutrients" and "polution" can now apparently be used synonymously, and it doesn't seem to bother anyone. If a nutrient favors a worse-tasting species over a better-tasting species, then it's pollution? The same goes for calling CO2 pollution. You might as well call oxygen pollution. Let's just go ahead and say that every single molecule on the earth is a m
The same goes for calling CO2 pollution. You might as well call oxygen pollution.
This is a valid point, the word "pollution" is relative, in a similar way to the way the word "terrorist" depends on your point of view (if you a buying or selling cell phones for example).
Carbon Dioxide is a naturally occurring substance in the atmosphere, but the proportion of the atmosphere that it occupies has increased dramatically. The graph on this page [wikipedia.org] shows the measured changes, but to be fair the graph on the top doe

This type of premature conclusion is, I believe, very damaging to those who want to have global warming taken seriously by the mainstream public (ie. Me). Leaping to the popular conclusion with no reason other than it being popular to blame frankly makes me doubt the professionalism of the researchers involved.
Did you see where Jane Lubchenco says "the culprit may be global warming. To be sure, the jury is still out on that connection". That is not a conclusion, it's a hypothsis. She just reported on
That's just a link to a Roland the Plogger blog, who doesn't understand the problem. Read the New York Times story [nytimes.com], which has important facts the Plogger missed, like the fact that this has been happening for the past five years. The local paper, the Register-Guard, has a good story [registerguard.com]. "On the way down, the camera lens illuminates a nighttime blizzard, a flurry of broken chunks of plankton called "marine snow." This is evidence of what caused this year's hypoxia - an onslaught of nutrients brought to shallow coastal waters by wind-driven currents, whose decomposing structures suck up available oxygen."
This is no mysterious dramatic event. It happens every year, but this year, it's worse than usual, possibly because ocean currents have shifted due to weather.
I'm not convinced. Did they find any other signs of hypoxia besides a low dissolved oxygen level?They found that levels were 10 to 30 times lower than normal, down to 0.5 milliliters per liter, a characteristic of hypoxia.

Gil, the gruff, take-no-prisoners occupant of McGraw-Hill's classic 1958 "Man in the Chair" ad, is one of the most daunting visages ever to stare out of the pages of business magazines. With a powerful message about the value of investing in market familiarity (McGraw-Hill thought the investment should be in print advertising), this ad, in my opinion, is one of the best advertisements—certainly one of the best business-to-business advertisements—ever produced. With McGraw-Hill's permission, Gil now stares out over our lunchroom and, here, at agency media director Bill Hebel, often creeping out some of our younger people (but not Bill, who holds his own with Gil) until they learn that he actually was the creative director of the agency that produced the ad. Yes, as on AMC's "Mad Men" TV series, creative directors and ad men of this era stood out in suits...but with creative touches like their bow ties. If you ever need a pdf of just the ad, email me. McGraw-Hill updated this ad several years ago with a less gruff-looking white male and an Asian female, but the remakes just didn't pack the same punch.

NHL proposes new realignment format: Good or bad?
Cam Charron
February 25 2013 12:30PM
Saturday night on the Hotstove, hockey reporter extraordinaire Elliotte Friedman reported the NHL's new realignment plan. Unlike the plan that was approved by the NHL and rejected by the NHLPA in 2011, both "Eastern" conferences would have eight teams rather than seven, with Detroit and Columbus moving to the more geographically appropriate centres.
Above is a screen cap, via Harrison Mooney and Puck Daddy, of the proposed changes. Everybody has seen them by now. The Leafs and the Red Wings used to play in the NHL's "Central" Division back before the Gary Bettman expansion in the late-1990s.
Preview: Game #20 Leafs @ Flyers - Redemption
Cam Charron
February 25 2013 11:37AM
Remember that move by James van Riemsdyk stepping around Luke Schenn? Anyway...
Per Chris Johnston of Sportsnet, Randy Carlyle took the Leafs' loss in Ottawa a little hard:
"I think I've got to bear responsibility, I should have called a timeout with 28 seconds left for the faceoff. Those are the things that you have to do.
Curiously, the play came with No. 1 defenceman Dion Phaneuf and centre Tyler Bozak, the team's best faceoff man, on the bench. Had Carlyle called the timeout, he could have given both players some rest and kept them out there for another shift.
"It would have settled everything down and put a little bit of a plan in," said Carlyle. "(The timeout) is only 30 seconds, but it usually gives you an opportunity to rest your people, maybe some of them just got off the ice because Dion just did. We would have maybe had a different centremen or second centre.

Leafs Asset Management and Ryan O'Reilly

February 24 2013 02:08PM
Fans of a lot of different NHL clubs claim their team could use Ryan O'Reilly the most. I think the Toronto Maple Leafs are at the top of that list. ROR in this instance means more than just rate of return. It's a potential perfect fit. I believe he is the most logical fit between Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul.
Rob Vollman did the statistical breakdown for the restricted free agent so there's no point in duplicating the work but it's a good overall look.
This is Ryan O'Reilly's writeup as it appeared in the McKeen's Hockey Yearbook:

Essential versus -spectrum for smooth diffeomorphisms
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: J. Robbin conjectures in his 1972 survey article (Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 78, 923-952) that the "essential" and -spectra are identical for all -diffeomorphisms. If so, the stability conjecture of S. Smale follows. A -spectrum may be attached to any orbit or invariant set and is a generalization of the set of eigenvalues of at a fixed point. The essential spectrum is the closure of this spectrum, restricted to the periodic set of . So Robbin's conjecture meant that the periodic orbits carry the growth rate behavior of their closure. A counterexample is constructed and other conjectures made.

According to Jeffrey Carr, author of "Inside Cyber Warfare," any country can wage cyberwar on any other country, irrespective of resources, because most military forces are network-centric and connected to the Internet, which is not secure. For the same reason, non-governmental groups and individuals could also launch cyberwarfare attacks. Carr likens the Internet's enabling potential to that of the handgun, which became known as "the great equalizer."
Examples of cyberwarfare:
- In 1998, the United States hacked into Serbia's air defense system to compromise air traffic control and facilitate the bombing of Serbian targets.
- In 2007, in Estonia, a botnet of over a million computers brought down government, business and media websites across the country. The attack was suspected to have originated in Russia, motivated by political tension between the two countries.
- Also in 2007, an unknown foreign party hacked into high tech and military agencies in the United States and downloaded terabytes of information.
- In 2009, a cyber spy network called "GhostNet" accessed confidential information belonging to both governmental and private organizations in over 100 countries around the world. GhostNet was reported to originate in China, although that country denied responsibility.
The most effective protection against cyberwarfare attacks is securing information and networks. Security updates should be applied to all systems -- including those that are not considered critical -- because any vulnerable system can be co-opted and used to carry out attacks. Measures to mitigate the potential damage of an attack include comprehensive disaster recovery planning that includes provisions for extended outages.

Generalists decorate their trees with the collections assembled over lifetimes by inheritance, early childhood artistry, gifts and outright purchase.
Specialists prefer a theme.

Kitchen question: One thing you love and one thing you'd change
Someday...I may be able to remodel the old farmhouse next door. I've been asking advice on the home forum, but I'd like to ask you, too. What is one thing you love about your kitchen and what is one thing you would like to change?
My current kitchen is set up pretty well...I really love the wall oven/microwave combination. One thing I would change is to have a place to sit in the kitchen. A kitchen table would be great :)
Also, is your kitchen open to other rooms in the house, or off by itself? Thank you for responsing!
hi Lavender Lass,
A couple years ago I got a remodeled kitchen, (we live in a 1919 era house) so I pretty much love most of it. The one thing we did not do was get a new range and refrigerator, and so that is what I would change. What we did do was add loads of drawers, and counterspace. The sink got moved across the room to be place under a window. the range was placed where the sink was. I have an appliance garage that houses coffeemakers and a toaster. but the most wonderful thing is the pull out pantry!
A few years ago we gutted the kitchen and added on. The thing I love, in addition to having plenty of storage space, is the raised bar peninsula. We eat every meal there unless the weather's nice then we eat out on the screened porch. I made the lower level of the peninsula 30" deep vs. the standard 24" so I'd have plenty of prep area.
The one thing I'd change would be a larger keeping room, since as it turns out we basically spend most of our time in the keeping room/kitchen area.
We have a small kitchen, but it works for us. There are only the 2 of us (plus cats). Only I eat in the kitchen (sometimes). DH lives and eats in front of the computer at the other end of the house. I like a couple things about it: It's open to other rooms (doorway into dining room, and wooden 'bars' let you see into the living room. When I used to bake more, I'd be able to watch the TV in the livingroom from the kitchen. It also has a lot of cupboard space.
The thing I'd like to change most is to replace the linoleum with stone(like) tiles. The thing I should change first is replace the 30 year old dishwasher. :o)
DH does most of the cooking now, so if you asked him, he'd want a new stove/oven unit.
I'd like the bead board on the walls and ceiling that I have dreamed about for 30yrs., ever since I tore all the old wallpaper off and never followed up with any other wall covering(!); discover a way to place the fridge so that it isn't as awkward to open and get into like it is now. Other than that, I'm happy with it.
I'm sure the next owners won't be, as it has no cabinets or counter space just standing cupboards and a table.
I don't know about the ceiling, but I don't think it would be very hard to put beadboard on the walls. Can't you buy it in sections, like paneling?
My mom put paneling up in her dining room in her old house. She had it about 2/3 of the way up the wall and then put a trim piece and painted it all white. She painted the wall a peach color...it was very pretty. I don't think she even used the glue, she just nailed it up. It was one of her first home projects that she did all by herself, after her divorce and she was very proud of it :)
My kitchen is tiny (8' x 13'), so one thing I'd change is to put an addition on the house to make it bigger! However, financially that is not in the cards in the near future (or maybe ever!).
That said, I do love my little kitchen. I renovated it from an old 60's or 70's remodel in my 100 year old house. There are some things that I like that I did to make the most of the small space. A big one was to move the basement door out of the kitchen and into the dining room. It gave me space for a small bistro set, which is where I'm sitting right now. I also love my little flat screen tv in the corner.
Some other space savers that worked out well for me were putting a large wall oven under the counter with a nice smooth ceramic cooktop over it. The smooth cooktop is integrated into the counter and basically gives me more usable counter space when I'm not actively cooking on it. I also chose a counter-depth refrigerator and built that in. If I had a big family it might not be the best choice, but for me and my son it is perfect.
Here's a slideshow that I posted last year at some point. Shows a few pics from various angles of before, during (while everything was ripped out) and after. I hadn't looked at that in a long time, and I forgot how much work it was! So, renovation is a pain, but it's kind of like child birth in that way. You quickly forget the degree of pain involved.
Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen slideshow
I love that we had a fridge nook built. We could have opened that wall up to the back of the office, but the nook made a really nice work triangle and gave us some extra space with the fridge tucked in.
I would change the counter top surfacing. We used laminate to get the right color - and I love the color but I hate the rolled edge! I wanted a square edge with a silver strip (like a diner). Get what you love (I would have had them replace it but the factory too 6 months to make my laminate color and refused to make more at the time. Nobody orders bright green, apparently).
Lisa, that's an amazing kitchen reno! I love that you can look out over your beautiful potager. That must really be enjoyable.
LL, I couldn't possibly keep it to only one thing! ;-D
Overall I love my kitchen - good thing as I designed it! It's 15 years old and quite plain but suits our farmhouse. There were a few things I would have liked but it's difficult to have everything. I gave up a pantry room and a raised DW in the planning because I wanted a large window over the sink and there wasn't enough space. I love my 6' window that looks out on the main part of my garden but if we ever build again I'll plan those items in.
Things I love are my 4'x6' island that doesn't have a stove or sink so it's a clear space for prep, serving, and I often do crafts there as well. I like the tray/cookie sheet storage cupboard that's over the frig but it's a stretch for me to get them down. I'd put it lower next time. Not a problem for a taller person.
We have sliders on all the cupboard shelves which are great.
I don't like our microwave/stove fan combo over the stove. I'd never have one again altho to replace it we'd have to have the cabinets rebuilt. I prefer a smaller microwave lower down, the combo with fan is more expensive and we've already replaced it once, and I'd do a more decorative custom stove fan.
We have a dining area at one end that we use even for company. We have occasionally set up the dining furniture at one end of the great room as originally planned, and when we did that we had a smaller table and a sofa in the kitchen. Our house is semi-open plan.
We have laminate countertops and replaced them after 12 years. They have a routered wood edging which I prefer to the rounded. I'd really love to have concrete but no one here does them.
If we ever sell this house I'd prefer to buy an old house, totally gut the kitchen, and do free-standing cabinets. I'd love an Aga and would use old painted sideboards and buffet/hutches for the cabinets like a European unfitted kitchen. With microwave and frig drawers one could have a unique kitchen that functioned well.
I would purchase ovens with the "old timey" off/on knobs.
They are available but hard to find.
My $2200.00 double oven's push button control panel quit working just out of warranty and the replacement panel costs over $600.00 & comes with only a 90 day warranty. An extended warranty is a ridiculous price.
It has not been replaced yet, as I am still debating whether to just buy new ovens.
My kitchen is along the lines of schoolhouse's kitchen. (course we live in a schoolhouse too!)
All free standing cupboards and a true 8' farm house sink on legs with drain boards on both ends. Also a table in the middle of the kitchen. We also have the old wide wainscot (4 inch I believe?)
When we had the house re-appraised several years ago to re-finance at a better rate, the appraiser said not many women would like my kitchen! Bleh...what did he know?
I like my kitchen to be separate from the rest of the house so I had French doors installed to the dining room and back porch.
I had all roll out bottom shelves with a dedicated wide pan section. I knew bending and squatting to look for things wasn't going to be easy for me and maybe impossible. I love them.
I love the two glass doors at the top....and no, I do not try to keep inside them fancy looking; drives my MIL crazy.
The pantry wall is a favorite feature. It has pull out drawers too. One section of it has lower drawers like a filing cabinet (my idea) and I keep recipe folders and garden folders in it. One section was supposed to be a broom closet but I installed the shelves and use it for canned (home) jars and odd pans.
What I would change. I would have a wall oven (they told me I couldn't fit one in) instead of the stove oven. It really cramps me because of the large table. I do have a table in the center. I might change to a long narrow table which would help with the oven but then what to do with the antique table?
I hated the white sink that was always stained so I recently had a composite material black sink put in and I love it. Maybe my white was too cheap??
I live in an old farmhouse so I wanted everything kept pretty simple. I left the old yellow pine flooring that we found under layers of tar paper, newspapers and linoleum.
I wish I could have had a dedicated baking prep area with the counter top lowered and a marble slab....no room.
Another little thing I like is the narrow pull outs by the stove to keep oo, salt and pepper and various tall things in handy for cooking but off the countertop. Didn't do that because of taking from the pan storage.
My kitchen is pretty large I guess, 13 x 17. I have room by the pantry for my easy chair where I read. I know I would have more room if I would eliminate that, but I love the quiet....no sports on TV to contend with.
I hope you get to remodel. I would do it all over again even though it was a 3-month ordeal.
I love the unfitted kitchens, but as always the practical person, I did what I thought might resell better.
I wish I had done the farmhouse sink thing now; just for looks and maybe the beadboard walls and ceiling.
A must: undercounter lighting. Be sure the lights are cool, ours get pretty hot if left on too long and they were a recent addition done too fast......they sold me on the long lasting bulbs.
Just some rambling thoughts.
good post!mmm...
I love my window over my sink..if I could (cant, stone house) I would have it bigger...wayyyy bigger...love to look out over my flowers when I am at the sink! I wish it was a whole wall almost. Money well spent..with a nice wide ledge....
I have an island...but no electric in it..I wish I had that....I would like to plug in mixers or crocks in. MY island is portable..we added it to exsisting cabinets tho it matches perfectly. Hubbby keeps saying he can add that..but has not yet :)
A frivious wish..but one I would like..small fridge somewhere for drinks, yogurts..food and drink on the run...eats up to much room in my fridge now..
Love love love my island..it has an addition flip up top that makes it TWICE the size..I use that for buffet serving when we have company ALL the time!
Lots of electric plug. I actually have too many...but I love that. Each wall/section is on its own breaker. I can plug in lots and never blow breakers. Our old kitchen was bad..whole thing was only on two breakers...blew breakers with toasters and crocks all the time. Hated it...was glad to change that. Would do it again.
built in coffee center....I have "modified an old piece of furniture to do this for me...and it works well..but I do wish it was recessed into the wall a bit for a cleaner look...so I guess maybe a niche to slide in a coffee center. I love love love the coffee mess off the counters and my itself..and guests love it too. I have a K cup maker so they just help themselves and are never in my way if I am cooking.
Got rid of my ceramic..HATED it..dang grout..and have laminate in its place..LOVE LOVE LOVE its low maintaince.
I love love love my extra large, extra deep single sink with a small side sink with the disposal in it. I wash 90 percent of my dishes in the dishwasher anyway..and I love being able to put big pots and ect in it without lots of water splash. Would repeat it EXACTLY the same.
I do wish I had better under counter lightening also..mine stinks!
I would also like SEVERAL larger size cabinets for big serving dish storage. I get tired of how much space they take in standard cupboards!
good posts..loved reading everyones ideas and likes and dislikes...
OMG I just survived a kitchen remodel... My old kitchen was about 10 years old and poorly designed if not looking like a botched job of irregularly angled counters and drawers. it clearly needed to be worked on but I wasn't ready to attend to it then because we were already remodelling the staircase.However when my husband wants things done, I might as well be invisible to him.
We decided on getting an IKEA set up and it's worked very well I must say. We added more drawers and added pantry storage. The cabinetry is white. the counter which we got elsewhere is a deep grey, manufactured quartz counter. The backsplash are subway tiles- off white. The drawers pull out easily. I have those carousel types too for the pots and pans and teh spices. The vent is a one of those shiny stainless steel units. I have a gas stove and convection oven. I have a good dishwasher set up in an island. The sink was purchased elsewhere too. I wanted a deep one like a farmer's sink but ended up with one stainless steel double sink. We have pot lightings all over. The only thing lacking are undercounter lighting which we do later.
The floor is all cermics which were bought on the cheap.
The downside of man made quartz counters is that they might get etch by acids that include lemon, vinegar, etc.. And you cannot drag ceramics across it because it can mar the surface. Had I known I'd opt of a very user friendly counter.
The thing is, not enough discussion out there on what to do before you start the process. For example, set up an alternate kitchen before hand. Do not get rid of your refrigerator or dishwaher until the kitchen is done. How to deal with the dust. What or where to eat while the job is being done.. -- To me, this was the most stressful time because my DH was so stubborn about me packing up the contents of the kitchen. I had to stack the things in the basement but even then, dust got in the way. Plates, cups, spoons, etc.. were covered with tons of dust. (we were also redoing the staircase then - so wooddust galore). So lessons for me were: invest in boxes and lots of them. Also get a lot of disposable plates, spoons etc.. you will need it. I ended up handwashing plates, utensils in plastic tubs I set up in the washroom. -
Ianna, we have quartz too except on the hutch where I put a piece of granite. You shouldn't have any problem with etching on quartz. I think that's mainly an issue with marble.
For those of you with 'hot' under cabinet lights there's always the option of fluorescent. That's what I chose. I keep them on from the minute I walk in the kitchen in the morning until I go to bed at night. No heat issues.
Fun thread and I'm trying not to be envious of those who live in older homes, especially old schoolhouses. I've always wanted to live in an old renovated schoolhouse or church. However my DH has never wanted to renovate a really old building which I can understand.
I forgot to mention that I *love* the glass doors I have on the end of my island and on the corner cupboard. True, one has to arrange things more decoratively and can't *cram* in as much stuff but it's something I would definitely plan again in another kitchen. The end of our island faces the dining area and I'm currently using that space for vintage clear glass and crystal items. I've sometimes put pottery or china there. In my upper corner cabinet with glass door I currently have brown toned pottery and roosters. These cupboards have glass shelves as well as doors. I change these cupboards out a couple times a year as they need a thorough cleaning then and I can bring out different yard sale finds to enjoy. Gives me another area to *play* with.
We also have sliding glass doors off the dining area to a small deck altho would prefer to have French doors instead of sliding ones. We use this area several evenings a week and enjoy a glass of wine after working in the garden. It overlooks the front garden and altho it's on the south side it's shady late in the day.
One thing I'd absolutely love to have is a screened porch off the kitchen/breakfast room. Maybe next house!
Natal, Thanks for the advice but it was the supplier that told me about the acids effect on manufactured guartz counters. It`s not a natural material and it can get etched. Natural materials can withstand such things.
Frankly I wish I got a really nice wooden counter. Anyone here watches Ina Garten`s Barefoot Contessa show.. Don`t you just envy her kitchen. I love that island of hers and her multiple kitchen aid mixers, le creuset pots
I've had mine for 3 years and never had that problem. I use vinegar and citrus on a regular basis, so I think if it was going to happen it would have by now. IMO, someone gave you incorrect information.
Btw, quartz is 93% natural and 7% resin.
Thank you for sharing all the likes/dislikes about your kitchens. I have to say, it sounds like you all have fabulous kitchens and I love the old farmhouse style, too.
Luckygal- One thing I wish I had was a sun/screen porch. It's so cold here (like where you live) in the winter, that I'd love to have a screened porch in the late spring/summer/early fall and then put glass windows in for the winter. It would be so nice to have a place (maybe some baseboard heat?) for plants in the winter. I would LOVE star jasmine and an orange tree :)
As for the kitchen itself, thank you EVERYONE for all the great ideas. It gives me a lot to think about, while I save up some money! LOL
Natal, Thanks for the advice. I work with geologists and I can tell you that quartz by itself is a natural occuring material. The counters we often see labeled as quartz is compost of exactly what you described. I agree it's a very strong material. My guy who has had his business for years, simply warned me that acids will eventually mar the sealant on the counters. I do trust him. He said simply to wipe off the acids as soon as possible and not let stay on the counter too long. Thanks anyway for your input.
I know im late to this thread, but what a fun one!!! So, i lovethat my window looks into the backyard thats above my sink. I hate everything else! Its very small and closed off. The kitchen door is so old if someone wanted to break in, they could. Only 8 cabinet sets total! 4 above the counter and 4 below. No dishwasher... OY!
My dream would be beautiful french doors that went out to our patio. .and a pantry that was actually a small room, and our washer and dryer in the kitchen area (behind doors of course) id love too. Ours is in the unfinsihed basement..yuck.
A girl can dream!!
When we built this house, I designed the kitchen myself.
The good:
No breakfast room/nook -- used all the space for the kitchen and included a place for a few folks to sit around one end. Our dining room is casual, so we don't mind eating there as it overlooks the gardens.
Hutches -- I had the cabinet maker build the cabinets on either side of the main sink to look like hutches. The top cabinets sit on the counter tops (which are painted sage green like the cabinets). One hutch has solid doors and holds food. The other has glass fronts and holds dishes and glasses.
Farm sink -- love it, especially the size! Would be difficult to go back to another type of sink.
Butcher block island top -- ours is mahogany and I'm so glad we did it. It is holding up great and no one can resist rubbing the surface of it every time that they pass by!
The not-so-good (for me):
My husband talked me out of the color scheme that I wanted. I wanted a sage green island with cream perimeter cabinets. I had even already ordered the cabinets and he changed this when I got back from making the order! He was afraid of a light color, so we have a black island and sage perimeter cabinets. He changed my granite choice, which means that I had to change my backsplash choice.
wonbyherwits... your kitchen sounds nice specially the farm sink. My hubby tho would be in big trouble if he changed anything in my kitchen after my choices were made..unless he wants ME to choose his workshop options, ect..he better not touch my kitchen.. :) I think I am territorial :)
Lilyfinch..I agree with your post, I would LOOOOOOOVE to have french doors in my kitchen..or a entire wall of glass above the base cabinets where my sink is. I love to watch outside while I am at the sink or cooking. I do love my window over the sink..but I would looooooove it if it was three times larger or french door :)
wonbyherwits, Isn't that so typical of husbands. I wanted charcoal grey floor tiles. We ended up with some yucky gray tiles which he swears looks 'close' to my choice. NOT! -- but having had to argue endlessly on tiny details HE wants.. I figure I want my peace more. -- Well our carpenter and all around guy took one look at it and told my husband the colour sucks.. Glad he sided with me. Fortunately, the floor doesn't call attention to itself. If I still had a choice, I would change it.
I would like to put a small tv nearby so I can watch in between chores.
The only thing in my kitchen that I love is my old kitchen wood stove and my old step back cabinet and shelves that came out of an old family farm house from by-gone days. Everything else is crap.
The kitchen is way too small, no storage and not a bit convenient for someone who cooks, bakes, and cans like I do. Three doors cut away what little space could have been used. The stove is jammed up into a corner by a door and there is little countertop space to work on. No place for my mixer, toaster, food processor, and etc. It sucks.
This house is just too little, and there is no storage anywhere, and I do mean none. No place to store a broom, mop, vacuum, linens, towels, trash, and dinky bedroom closets made for two changes of clothes. Not enough room for beds and dressers. You have to skirt around the bed to make it up. Gads! And windows? Not nearly enough windows or big enough windows. I like to see out and have house plants. It's a cave, not a house! It is too dark inside for plants. I have moss growing on my back. Would be a great place for mushroom farming though. The whole layout is terrible. I hate it. If I had my way, I would take my things out in the yard and burn it to the ground and spit on the ashes.
Other than that, it's great!
I remodeled the kitchen in my last home and the thing I loved most was having a cooktop and seperate wall oven at a perfect height for me instead of a stove with the oven under it. The thing that didn't work out well was having an island (actually a penninsula) that only sat 2 people, when it could have been designed to seat more. When you have people over they want to be around that island or penninsula. I say make sure there is a minimum of 9" overhang on at least two sides of it with at least 24" per person. That means a 48" short end is the narrowest you should go if you want to seat 2 at the narrow side. Now I'm about to reno the kitchen in my new (1950) home. The thing I want to keep most is the 2 corner lower cabinets that have lazy Susan's in them. They are so useful. I have crock pots, blenders, Cuisinart, big salad spinner, and all those big clunky things on those sturdy turntables. The thing I want to change most is having a fridge with the freezer on top and sticks way out further than the adjacent counter. I'm sick of losing things way in the back of the fridge compartment that I have to bend down to look in. I actually have to do a squat in front of it to get a good view and that ain't pretty in front of guests, let me tell you. I've ordered a bottom freezer french door fridge that is cabinet depth for the reno. That was my splurge. Well, one of them.
I love my kitchen. We live in a rather cooky cutter house that is 40 years old, but I'm slowly working on getting the cottage look. The kitchen is pretty large, have an island, and we have an old round oak table (from my MIL), and the sink overlooks the yard. Just last year we added a french door to the patio, sure beats the sliding glass door and will do the same thing to the window over the sink. My husband tiled the floor in 8X8" palomino colored tile years ago and built a pantry.
HOWEVER - we still have that yucky green of the 70's over the stove with backsplash of the same color along the cheap cupboards that are about 12" deep. Not a pretty sight. I am leaning toward white cupboards and perhaps light grey countertops to brighten things up a bit.
Good thread!
I hardly ever come over to this side, so missed this until now!
When we bought our house almost 4 years ago, the kitchen was the big thing we remodeled. We started with a small galley kitchen with a larger eating area, closed off from the living/dining room. We blew out the interior wall, and totally re-did the kitchen. (The original wall oven didn't work, and was a non-standard size, so once you replaced that, you had to do a lot, anyhow.) We made a large double-sided island at an angle between the kitchen and main living area, creating a triangle shape, basically.
Things I like:
Our double-sided island, which has two banks of cabinets with a dividing wall in between, so you can't see the dirty dishes from the living area. ;)
Big pot drawers
Tall, narrow base cabinets for cutting boards
lots of drawers for dishtowels, etc.
obscure, stripy glass in some of the upper cabinets
Things I don't like:
Our desk didn't work out quite as well as I'd like. The drawers were supposed to be good for files, but aren't quite wide enough. So, they have to sit sideways, and we have wasted space. Also, the seat is at the pinch point, and so I never do end up sitting there except to file.
We still aren't finished. No hood, temporary countertops. (Laminate loose laid, plus pieces of butcher block from Ikea.)
But all in all, I love my kitchen. :)
When we moved in this house, the kitchen had been remodeled. It wasn't an expensive remodel, so no restaurant-grade range/hood, no ceiling-height cabinets (stock cabinets), etc., but I think it's beautiful and it suits our need.
My fav is the granite...they put granite tiles on the countertop and matching granite for the floor. I absolutely LOVE IT! To me, it was a good compromise on cost...I'm perfectly happy with the granite tile on the counter! And we LOVED the amount of counter space we had (the kitchen is 13x18, I believe). We also have huge windows on the one side that lets lot of light in.
What I didn't love...the sink is not quite where it was supposed to go so it's kind of off center. It bothers me a lil bit. Also, the spot above the range does not have room for an above-range microwave *wah*, so that bugs me. And finding a spot for the garbage can was frustrating...especially when you have a dog that is literally addicted to garbage and can't stay out.
All in all I loved it, and best of all, I'm sure it was low cost, couldn't have cost more than 5-10k to redo and we love it.
lisa33 - those photos are amazing! You've really inspired me. I think I hate everything about my kitchen, from the ugly outdated cabinets, to the pink salmon colored ceramic tile. Oh yea, and there's a pink mica countertops to match! Ick.
I've done what I can in the 8 years I've owned the house to try and spruce it up a bit, but nothing combats that heinous salmon tile. I mean, salmon? Really?
The only thing I like in that room is the new oven that my boyfriend bought me. It's stainless steel, ceramic flat top, convection, all the bells and whistles, cost him a fortune. Yea, I like my oven. Everything else needs to be demolished!
My biggest hold up, though, is the cost. There's so much that needs to be done that it's not worth it unless I gut the whole room. And, the spot for the fridge only allows for a small sized fridge so I can't even buy the fancy one that I really want. To do that, i'd have to relocate the fridge which means knocking out walls, opening up different areas. And if I do that, well then I might as well add that room addition to the living room and make the whole area an open space. Yep... I got a project on my hands!
The most challenging part is trying to pick out which granite counter top I want, which cabinet style looks good with it, what colors go with what. And the other thing is the fear of living in a construction zone for weeks on end. The only good part about this process is that I found a company in Cincinnati who says they can put in new granite countertops in less than a week. I'm sold! And another company they work with does the cabinets and even has designers to help with the whole remodel. I might just give them a blank slate and tell them to make it pretty. Anything's better than that putrid salmon. Did I mention I hate the color pink? ha ha.
Just in case anyone on this thread lives in the Cincinnati area, here are the two places that I've been looking at for countertops and cabinets:
Sims-Lohman http://www.sims-lohman.com
Granite Rocks http://www.granite-rocks.com
They have locations in Indy, Columbus, and around Cinci and Northern Kentucky I believe.

Dyno- Have you thought of painting the salmon tiles? There's special paint/primer for tiles...but you probably want to wait, until you can open all the windows :)
Also, there are some beautiful stainless steel fridges available...sometimes they're listed as apartment size or scaled down. They use them all the time on HGTV's Income Property, with Scott Gillivray. Something like that might work in your space!
My husband and I just embarked on a kitchen remodel. We have an old, 1950s-era house, featuring a narrow, galley-style kitchen. That aspect I dislike the most. But we also have beautiful, well-constructed pine cabinets with gorgeous mid-century detailing. My dilemma was how to keep those while remodeling the rest of the kitchen - all by myself.
What do you guys think? Any ideas? I just started a blog in the hopes that people might send suggestions/ideas my way:
I'd appreciate any input!
Here is a link that might be useful: My Fifties Kitchen Redo
One thing I have absolutely no regrets about is putting in two dishwashers - one full-size and one drawer, but two full-size wouldn't have been a bad thing. We have a fairly large family, but even just for holiday gatherings or dinner parties, it's been great. I regret not putting in a walk-in pantry and getting full-extension drawer slides. I wish I had just re-finished our existing cabinets and outfitted them with better drawer slides and pull-out trays. And tops of them all - I should have sprung for the full-time maid service :)
LOL - I just remodelled the kitchen so I know it right away. The one thing I kept was the style of the cabinets. My husband built the rest to match :D The major thing I changed was we removed a walk in pantry (that just seemed to not have a whole lot of useable space and cluttered too easily) and put in a full wall of pantries. The other thing I love, is we used wainscotting on the ceiling (4' lengths) and covered the seams with oak boards. So it looks like an older ceiling than it actually is, but gives that country charm. I thoguht tin tiles would make it look too dark (considering the paint colour of the 4 sq. feet of wall in the room is chocolate brown)
Finally remodeled the kitchen in our 50s California ranch style house. Waited 18 years but it was worth the wait. Room is about 12 x 12, U shaped but the fourth wall has the fridge and some pantry space.
BEST THING: repainting the original cabinets (creamy white, Benjamin Moore Pottery Barn Mascarpone) and hardware (that old black colonial stuff) to save $$ for top notch appliances. I replaced my old cheap wall oven & fridges in kitchen and laundry with a 48" Sub Zero. It is quiet and it is so flat -- I gained a wider walkway through my kitchen. Even though the fridge is smaller than the two fridges that it replaces, I can fit everything in there that I need (though now I understand the popularity of the "drink station" fridge!) I replaced my 42" avocado green cooktop with the La Cornue Cornufe 43" in Provence Blue with brass trim. I did not want to give up double ovens, but the usual Viking / Wolf etc. 48" would require me to give up too much cabinet space, plus I never liked the huge oven and tiny oven combo and cramming 8 burners into the space where I used to have four plus a big griddle (that I used to plop things down, mainly). Now I have 5 burners so I have room for big pots and handles. I was really nervous about having two smaller ovens. However, you get the half sheet pans from Williams Sonoma and they act as racks. The fitted roasting pans that come with the stove work fine. I roasted a big five bone prime rib in there. I use my ovens so much more now than I ever did before, especially for meats. That stove is a thing of beauty and a real show stopper in the kitchen. LOVE the blue. So YES, the appliances make all the difference.
ALSO LOVE having everything look kind of old -- we have Carlisle wide plank hard wood in rustic white oak (knotholes and marks); we have Barroca soapstone with some white veining; my cabinets are not pristine but they fit with the overall look. Patina galore even with new things!
GO CHEAP with the faucets and just get chrome. With everything else stainless, it's nice to have something more glittery on the countertop. We have chrome in every room with plumbing and all of the rooms "match" even though we have faucets from different manufacturers.
Accidental benefit: We hid the trash can in a pull out inside one of the low cabinets. We just attached the door face to the pullout mechanism. Well, one of my undercounter cutting boards slides out perfectly so that I can chop and then sweep the trash directly into the trash can. Sweet!
By getting the new fridge, I gained more countertop space to the right of the fridge. I was able to have a built in shelf made for my microwave to get it up off the counter.
We converted one of the broom closets in the laundry room into a tiny little bar. We used a remnant from our countertops for the counter; we spaced shelves for wine and soda storage. My husband routered out a few leftover strips of the hardwood to make wine glass racks on the top of the cabinet. It's kind of cute.
What I'd change? I don't dislike my Kitchen Aid dishwasher, but for some reason it is hard to load small things like pyrex bowls, small cereal bowls, etc. It is great for tons of plates and glasses. However, I like to cook and I use a ton of those little custard cups for prep. I store leftovers in 1c, 2c, 3c, bowls and they never seem to fit right.
I did not get the dispenser on the Sub Zero because I think it will stay cleaner and also the dispenser takes up room inside. However, I do miss crushed ice more than I thought I would.
I always dreamed I'd have a fancy backsplash behind the stove. However, this stove is so beautiful that I do not want to upstage it. I will just hang a pot rail behind it like you see so often in the ads for the stove.
Also I did lose storage space -- we moved a hanging cabinet over the countertop peninsula. I lost my baking rack storage when I hid the trash can. I lost my pots and pans storage when I replaced my cooktop with the drop in stove. I have been getting rid of old things and making room for new things but I am still moving items around to figure out where they should go.
hillebop -- this is my first post! I've been agonizing over whether or not I should get the Provincial Blue La Cornue range (single or double oven), or a slightly pricier Lacanche. You've had your Williams Sonoma range for a while now. How is it holding up and are you loving it? The main reason I want one of these two brands is because I like the vintage look and think it will look real nice in our 50's cottage-style home. Thanks!
lovely kitchens!
One big thing I think we'd all do well to consider is ease-of-operation & ease-of-care as we get older.
If I were to build or re-model, I'd put the kitchen & bathroom faucets on a big wide ledge, instead of that skinny thing every builder puts in, so it's easier to get back there to clean.
& I'd put in "taller" faucets, like the gooseneck faucets you see in the doctor's office, so there's plenty of room beneath them to fill big pots & such.
I'd do this in the bathroom, too, for the tub as well as the sink, & if I could manage it, I'd put the potty about 6" farther out from the wall-
I truly do not love those itty bitty tight areas!
My favorite kitchen thing right now is the pantry with pull-out shelves;
if I could, I'd have them in every single lower cabinet.
I too love big/double windows over the sink;
I think if I had to choose between a big or double kitchen window or hanging on to something for which there was no storage space, I'd get rid of whatever it was.
It's probably not an option for most *kitchens*, but someone had put big deep drawers, like a built-in bureau, under a staircase;
seems much more useable than those pyramid-shaped closets that you usually see, & probably cheaper than putting in a powder room.
Our "standard ranch-style 60's home" has a bar between the step-saver kitchen and the den, which is fine, but the stovetop range is in the bar and over the stove are cabinets. I'd really like to have those cabinets over the stovetop removed so that the kitchen is more open to the den and less crowded feeling.
Another problem is, our den is a lovely solid walnut paneling, which I just can't stomach painting, and I'd like to get the kitchen cabinets re-faced or painted, but what goes well with walnut that's not so dark? I want something lighter to lighten up the kitchen. Our cabinets are a medium wood color now and I'm sick of them.
I am new to the site and am trying to find where there is a discussion on cooktop hoods. I am getting a wolf 30inch cooktop and trying to save some money but still get a decent chimney style hood. Does anyone have a suggestion? And where can I go on site to find more info. Thanks
I am currently building a house and in the midst of the kitchen design. I absolutely love the look of the lacanche ranges. I have chosen the Citeaux. I am leaning towards the ivory, as I think the white may be too stark. I love the black too but I am doing ivory cabinets and calcatta gold marble counters.
Does anyone have the ivory? I have never seen it in person. I don't live near a showroom - so doing this all based on a paint chip and pictures online. Is it hard to keep clean?
Also, for the brass... does it "turn" pretty quick? Do you keep it like that or how often to do you clean it? What do you clean it with?
Thank you for your input Lacanche owners! I really appreciate your insight...

i totally agree with sympathizing with the villains. Definitely Pitch. He used to be a general on the side of good, his job was to guard the prison of the fearlings and they tricked him into believing that his daughter(now mother nature) was trapped with them and then took him over/ corrupting him. All he was doing was his job. not only that he was forgotten after the dark ages which happened somewhere in the 10-13th century and the movie takes place in modern times the 21st century. That's being walked through for hundreds of years. Poor Pitch, but now he has Harry in your time line.

Brandywine Cottage is David Culp's beloved two-acre Pennsylvania garden where he mastered the design technique of layering — interplanting many different species in the same area so that as one plant passes its peak, another takes over. The result is a nonstop parade of color that begins with a tapestry of heirloom daffodils and hellebores in spring and ends with a jewel-like blend of Asian wildflowers at the onset of winter.
The Layered Garden shows you how to recreate Culp's majestic display. It starts with a basic lesson in layering — how to choose the correct plants by understanding how they grow and change throughout the seasons, how to design a layered garden, and how to maintain it. To illustrate how layering works, Culp takes you on a personal tour through each part of his celebrated garden: the woodland garden, the perennial border, the kitchen garden, the shrubbery, and the walled garden. The book culminates with a chapter dedicated to signature plants for all four seasons.
As practical as it is inspiring, The Layered Garden will provide you with expert information gleaned from decades of hard work and close observation. If you thought that a four-season garden was beyond your reach, this book will show you how to achieve that elusive, tantalizing goal.
Along with his partner, Michael Alderfer, David Culp is the creator of the gardens at Brandywine Cottage in Downington, Pennsylvania. David has been lecturing about gardens nationwide for more than 15 years. His articles have appeared in Country Living, Fine Gardening, Green Scene, and many other publications. He is a contributing editor to Horticulture magazine and served as chairman of the Middle Atlantic Hardy Plant Society.
An expert on herbaceous perennials, David serves as a sales consultant and new plant researcher for Sunny Border Nurseries in Connecticut. He has developed the Brandywine Hybrid strain of hellebores, and was recently cited in the Wall Street Journal for his expertise on snowdrops. The garden at Brandywine Cottage has been featured several times in Martha Stewart Living and on HGTV.read more

Tikal Day Trip by Air from Antigua with Lunch
- Day trip to the Tikal ruins by air from Antigua
- Visit the ancient Mayan ruins of Tikal at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Tikal National Park
- Discover one of the largest archaeological sites of the pre-Colombian civilization with your expert guide
- Round-trip airfare, lunch and all entrance fees included
Recent Photos of This Tour
What You Can Expect
You'll be picked up from your Antigua hotel in the morning and taken to the Guatemala City airport to begin your day trip. Hop on a small plane and set off toward the town of Flores in northern Guatemala. Once you land, you'll be driven to Tikal National Park (Parque Nacional Tikal), a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With an area of more than 341 square miles (550 sq km), this national park contains thousands of separate ruin structures scattered around, each full of fascinating history.
Visit the Mayan ruins with your expert guide and explore everything from the Central Acropolis, a maze of courtyards and small temples, to Complex Q and R, where you'll see twin pyramid complexes with altars set in front of the temples. Visit the massive Temple I, the Temple of the Grand Jaguar. Built to honor and bury King Moon Double Comb, the 144-foot (44-meter) temple is a small enclosure of three rooms with outside stairs leading to the top of the steep temple. Across the way, visit the equally beautiful Temple II, the Temple of the Masks.
Next, enjoy a delicious lunch at Tikal National Park before having some free time to explore the ruins on your own. Then, head back to the Flores airport to begin your transfer back to Antigua.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
Excellent tour. We had a terrific guide and enjoyed a delicious lunch among the jungles of Tikal. Highly recommended.
March 2015
Awesome trip. A must do.
If you are staying in Antigua don't even think of driving or ride a bus.
A friend of ours did this trip a felt very sorry of his option.
The roads are narrow and not much safe and it is, at list, a 7 to 10 hours journey (one direction).
A little confusion at Tikal arrival airport and some delay, but all in all, everything went easy and smooth.
The guide (Vinicius) was nice, hellpfull and provided all the information we wanted to know.
The lunch is good and you can choose your prefered meal between meat, pasta, chicken or vegetarian.
Tikal is a awesome place. We couldn't be more amazed.
