For every serious-minded, informative website out there (I submit for your consideration this august blog) there are countless others that lean more towards the absurd. The website "walmart.horse" is squarely in the latter column. But can something so lighthearted also constitute trademark infringement?

While, generally speaking, copyright law protects art, and trademark law protects branding, patent and trade secret laws protect information.

However a company… Continue Reading

Clever idea needed, something large, flat, and brown?
So i've been busy driving DH crazy sticking cardboard boxes everywhere trying to mock up different aspects of the kitchen (the "table" goes up today!) and trying to pin down some general color decisions.
He really wants a dark floor. Like Globus cork Maple, or Sable, or Walnut (we are almost certain about the cork, so working with their glue down tile colors). He also really wants dark cabinets, we are likely using Maple Bellmont 1900 series cabinets (definitely Bellmont, very likely Maple) in one of their darker stains.
He's at least very consistent in liking that combination when shown pictures on houzz, so he's made his stand. He did agree to compromise and not get a dark counter if we get dark floor and cabinets.
While I like the dark colors separately, I'm concerned it will be too much in our small kitchen even with good lighting. I even like the dark colors together, just not sure we can make it work.
So I am on a quest to find something dark brown to cover the floor for a bit so we can see how that affects the room. I'd also like to find a darker color brown to cover at least some lower cabinets so we can see the effect of the two together.
Any ideas? Hopefully that would not require spending a bunch of money on new towels or similar just for this experiment? I know there must be a solution or two that I'm just not seeing.
Get some dark wrapping paper.
How about using a plastic tarp. They come in a variety of sizes and if you didn't want to reuse it you could cut it to fit your floor space. They are available in a dark brown with silver on the reverse side at Lowes and Home Depot. An 8x 10 is under $9. Hope you have one of those stores where you live so you wouldn't have to order it and pay shipping fees. A local hardware store might have them too but often they only have blue or green ones.
Good luck.
Craft paper from some place like Michael's. Even cheaper than wrapping paper and comes in colors. Not the plain brown which is too light, of course.
Oh, while you have something dark brown on your floor, walk on it. Track dirt on it. Pet the cat on it. See if your husband is really willing to sweep it often.
Go to the $1 a yard section at a fabric store for stuff to wrap the cabinets in. Even if it's $2-$3 a yard, that a whole lot cheaper than making such a permanent mistake with your home. For the floor, get a sheet (or two) of masonite at the hardware store and a quart or two of paint. If you can't fit a 4x8 sheet in your vehicle, they can cut it into segments. Put at least a couple of coats of brown paint on it and let it dry for a couple of days. Then put it down and walk on it. 15 years ago, that's how I discovered that the lovely walnut floors that I wanted would be an absolute disaster with my pets and housekeeping style. Floors are always easiest to live with if they are dirt colored. Whatever color dirt you have in your area, look for something that matches, and your life will be a lot easier.
Hmm, it almost sounds like the forum is agreeing with me on this one, lol!
Great ideas! I will definitely get something durable enough to walk on for a good week or so, that's a great point. I will admit I enjoy keeping our new bathroom clean and suspect it will be easier to keep a nice new kitchen clean, but we have to pick materials that meet us half way, we are a bit lazy most of the time.
One thing to be aware of with cork flooring is that if it is not the natural color then it is usually only stained dark on the top most bit therefore scratches and damage are very apparent. Make sure to get samples of the flooring and see how deep the color is and see how easily it scratches. As well what I found with various cork flooring is that some of the different patterns are actually a very thin veneer on top of more standard cork backing. If you ever plan to refinish the cork then it may not be an option with some of the choices.
Thanks, athomeinva! I'll take a closer looks at the samples. Can you explain what you mean by patterns? The samples they send out at the nugget texture, which is what is pictured for all the colors on the website. I assume the striped one might be a veneer, not sure about nugget and traditional.
By pattern I mean the more exotic style of cork, for some brands any cork that does not look like a standard cork board may be a thin veneer. I had tons of samples from various companies at one point but did not have any from Globus so cannot tell you anything about their tiles. A solid cork tile should have the same pattern on the bottom as it does on the top.
Does he cook alot in the kitchen? I ask because this issue is totally diff if you are the cook v. kitchen lounger. ;) Even if you make it dark, he may find he likes it, "Oh this is cozy like a den." lol It is not until you actually try to cook in that dark space that it may bother him...
DH does a good portion of the cooking and dishes, so I've been trying to pry some preferences out of him and trying to show him what they would mean in the space.
Oldbat2be, thanks for offering! I'll post a few pics and you can use whichever one you think is best.
I also have an email in to Globus about the veneer. I tried to scratch through the darkest sample I have, and it was surprisingly hard to do! Though it was easier to make dull spots that stood out. I also asked about UV resistance in the finish.
The only two pics I have with floor and cabinets, I can take another view if you prefer.
Globus cork Maple tiles, they read a little lighter on the screen than the sample, but pretty close.
Bellmont 1900 series Maple with Java stain for cabinets
Ooooh, thank you Oldbat2be!
I actually do like those two together, but I still need to find something this weekend to mock it up larger scale. I just want to make sure it doesn't look like a cave at night! And see how dirty the floors look, though I suspect the swirls will camouflage some.
I did find out that the nugget texture, seen above, is a veneer. Only the regular looking cork is solid pattern. And the colors do sit on top for the most part as cork doesn't absorb liquid much. I may need to take a field trip to one of the public places they posted that used their tiles. With no kids and no pets, our floor won't get too much abuse, but I don't want to regret that big a choice later.

How best to store unused extra engineered hardwood flooring?
dontknowOctober 2, 2009
We have a couple of extra boxes we'd like to keep in decent shape.
Should these be stored horizontally or vertically for long term storage?
Any thoughts / opinions?
Thank you.
I store mine horizontally, fully supported on a wire metal shelf. Somewhere that is dry and gets a little air circulation. Make sure the flooring is fully supported so it does not sag.
If the wood is stored under the bed -- is it ok to transfer the wood to a plastic under bed storage container?

"I would buy this product again and agai These waders are extremely comfortable.I wear them while beaver trapping and I travel between dams.These waders feel like a pair of pants with their flexibility so I can wear them while driving. I keep them on until I'm completely done checking traps.The belt loops keep them up where they should be. If I were to change anything it would be a little extra thick material on the knees to prevent chafing from kneeling. July 22, 2011

These paid bashers try to flood the internet with negative perspective about SD. Publishing the same stuff again and again.
Don't pay attention as SD has a great growth potential and significantly improving it's balance sheet.
This report and the operational guidance is very good !!!...definitely increasing the sell prospects of SD
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I thought the report was excellent. They reported significantly higher oil production in the Miss. ...much higher than previous estimates. Estimate was earnings was -,04 for the qtr...the earned 00....beat by 04 cents.
Bashers are trying to emphasize the accounting loss due to the Permian acreage...imho this is just a one time accounting entry...to show a loss ...to keep more of their future earnings. Along with statements that they are reducing costs etc....this is a very positive report imho.
Totally agree.
I think it was a good report. SD is rising from the filth that TW got it into.

MSI Radeon HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr III PE OC'ed Video Card ReviewWe check out the Power Edition HD 6950 which brings triple voltage adjustment to the table. How high can we go?
The Power Edition series is one that we don't hear a lot about from MSI, but it's a really good series for those hoping to get a bit more than the norm when it comes to overclocking. It's kind of a less hardcore version of the Lightning Series, but designed for higher end cards than we would normally see in the HAWK series.
The Power Edition cards tend to sit at that in-between spot where you want something more than a mid-range card, but don't want to go crazy and buy the highest end model. So with all that said, today we're looking at the HD 6950 2GB from MSI.
As mentioned, it's a part of the Power Edition series and this particular one carries with it the Twin Frozr III cooler and an out of the box overclock. We're going to be ignoring the latter a bit today and instead see what we can do with our own overclock when we fire up MSI Afterburner. Before we get into that, though, let's look at the package that MSI are offering us today before taking a closer look at the card, its default specifications and what we managed to get from it.
Once that's done, we'll get into the fun stuff and see just what kind of performance we're able to get out of this HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr III Power Edition from MSI.
The packaging for the HD 6950 Power Edition looks pretty good; you can see that the Twin Frozr III and Power Edition are highlighted well and you can see it's of course the OC Edition. Inside there's nothing too out of the ordinary going on; some paperwork, driver CD, Molex to 6-Pin convertors, DVI to VGA, Crossfire bridge and a mini DP to DisplayPort adapter.
