BBS's, & are succulents gaining popularity?
Please, no inappropriate "hot topic" debate of the ethics (or quality) of plants at BBS's... and yes, I got everything the "real garden center" had that I like, and visit often to repeat this action.
I would have never noticed before whether WM had these in previous years or not, recently discovered I DO like green eggs'n'ham succulents, and am going to make some mini gardens with them.
I do know that the one mom'n'pop garden center near enough to visit has changed their display since January to give the mini garden/tiny plants section more prominence. The plants there are cycling through faster than I can visit, but it's always inclusive of many succulents.
Monday the WM in Geneva, AL had a TON of tiny succulents, some labeled with species, some generically labeled. $2.50-$4. They were still unloading the other stuff from the truck and the little trays on display already had many plants missing, other people looking at them. Is that a new thing, or status quo for WM?
More at the garden center, more at the BBS's, but very few of either to visit in my area, and have not been in the south very long. Could also be a regional thing (vs. OH.)
What have you seen out there shopping?
Do you think more people are getting into succulents?
Being in the Northeast, where it's very difficult to grow happy, attractive succulents indoors, even with supplemental lighting, I am also seeing lots and lots of succulents in BBS. Many are named, some are dead, but most are unusual and different from ones I've seen before. There are mesembs, all sorts of odd jades, echeverias, cacti, etc. Makes it hard to quit spending money:)
I was at Home Cheapo looking for a Dremel bit a couple of weeks ago and strolled to their succulent area and bought the following which were labeled as you see:
Aloe 'Blue Elf' a hybrid
Aloe zanzibarica
Echevaria 'Dondo'
Pleiospilos nelii 'Royal Flush'
Cremnosedum 'Little Gem'
Crassula 'Caput Minima'
I was surprised the tags didn't all read "Assorted Succulent"
FF, I agree, especially if you're a serial overwater (now in remission) that I used to be when I lived in OH. I killed some really cute plants and just thought, those aren't for me... they sure like the AL sun though.
Hey, Sarah! IDK... that's why I was asking.
TJ, yes, I was shocked to see species names too, most of them seem to be correct from the plants I bought and pics I can find... the labeled ones are from cactuscollection.com - where one could get lost looking at pics all night... I like them a lot better than the Costas Farms plants, no scale that I can see.
Thanks, FF! I've actually been warned that some of my plants look a bit thirsty. Of course there is no cure, but it looks like I'm managing my addiction. Glad to hear you are too. Well, actually the cure seems to be to have a TON of plants so there is always one or two that really do need water when a fit of nurturing takes over.
I'm seeing so many more "name that plant" succulents on here and other gardening forums.

I know from reading the fine print last time I took a Voyage boat out on charter, and a very good friend of mine is their primary charter agent (Susan). My daughter also works for them in Annapolis (procurement specialist) - (my 'ties' to the marine industry are hereby exposed).
They are not alone in the industry on this - just them I'm sure of.
A friend of mine bounced off a boat in Spanish Town - and while I never got the whole story - he wound up paying the damages out of pocket (several hundred bucks). There is a deductible - often rather large.
Dinghy insurance is also optional, and let me tell you (again, heresay, not known) they will replace that old RIB and O/B you lost with a brand new one imported from the U.S. for top dollar (5k or more) if it gets 'stolen' or lost.

Can you say Yum! I have been going here forever and I just can't get my chicken to taste like it.. It is worth the drive from anywhere! Family style so kids are more than welcome there, very relaxed setting.
Have been to Wright's many times over the years for many occasions. It's a great place to go when you have a big group of folks. The price is reasonable too.

Large selections of fad jewelry, collectibles;fudge and other tourist type geegaws. Occupies time while you wait for the table to consume the mass produced chicken dinners
Nothing special. Just a regular gift store like anywhere else. Same ol same ol. You can get just about anything in the gift store anywhere.
Wrights Chicken farm in Harrisville RI is the epitome of family style dining. Their chicken is moist and tasty....the pasta is devine ....their salad with their own dressing is the best I have ever had. The prices are beyond reasonable and the food just keeps coming in big bowls for you to serve family style. They even have a wonderful...
I have not been home to Rhode Island in over seven years. I happened to be in the area on business for a few days last week and decided to take some free time and go see my family. My father, mother, brother, nephew and niece. One of my favorite places to eat in Rhode Island is/was Wright's Farm. I...
I happened to love the place but only once a year :). For the price it just cannot be beat if you like chicken, pasta, french fries and salad. It's all you can eat for something like $8 per person and really it's well worth it. A GREAT place for families.
Don't be fooled by the name, the place is not just a farm, it is a restaurant + gift shop with huge dinning area! People kept coming in, but it always has room for all. The chicken is yummy and juicy, fries are good too. If chicken is not enough, they offer steak as well.
Great place to shop either before your meal or after. There were some unique things there and I am already planning on going back for xmas presents.
The gift shop is a nice way to finish off the Wright's Chicken Farm experience. Their are plenty of trinkets to choose from, as well as plenty of choices from nostalgia candies to decadent fudge. If you go away unsatisfied...shame on you.

How can I get my toddler to drink milk?
My 13-month-old doesn't like the taste of cows' milk. I try to give him cheese and yogurt, but I'm afraid he's not getting enough dairy. Some of my relatives suggested giving him chocolate milk, but I don't think that's a good idea. What should I do?

oh & @ready4weeone, Kale has a LOT of calcium in it! There's a reason babies refuse it. We, naturally don't like cow's milk. hmmm.....we are taught to enjoy it.posted 09/29/2011 by lindasdream
wow i almost tripped over your paupit. I follow canada's food guide and prepare my food offerings for my children based on that. No food itself is bad. Whole milk is a great dairy choice for infants. Remember though only 3-4 servings a day.posted 09/29/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
no one needs cows milk. the protein in it blocks the absorption of the calcium & we only absorb 30% of the calcium from it anyway. So, if you're worried about calcium, get it elsewhere Countries where people get large amounts of calcium are also countries where people eat large amounts of animal protein, such as in the United States and Europe. These countries have the world's highest rate of fractures due to osteoporosis, the disease characterized by weak, porous bones. Now, tell me, is that good calcium? NO WAY. a 12 year study at Harvard found that women who drank the most milk had the most bone fractures. How backwards is that? Milk also increases the growth rate for breast cancer. Another reason to not drink it, in my opinion. Draw your own conclusion, but do some research into other ways to get calcium. Why do we drink the milk of another race? sounds kinda sick to me. Trust me, I drink milk too. But, I'm considering stopping because of all this I've been reading lately.posted 09/28/2011 by lindasdream
hi, we used to give our daughter a milkshake mix, its like the nestle one, we bought in aldi/tesco, it has added vitamins in it, just even a tiny bit will make it taste better...u can use less and less each time as gets used to the cows milkposted 09/26/2011 by mary175
The only way I can get my 16-monther to drink milk is by making a smoothie. So I whip a cup or so of whole milk with frozen strawberries, a banana, and a handful of kale (the only way he'll eat veggies) in the blender everyday and he loves it. I'd prefer that he just drank milk or ate veggies without being fooled, but when it comes down to it, I'm just glad he's getting them at all this way.posted 09/24/2011 by ready4weeone
our daughter was on lactose free formula, so to get her off formula, we added lactase to whole milk, and began replacing 1oz at a time with the LF milk, decreasing the amount of formula every week. It worked, and we didnt have to add other unhealthy things like sugar syrup or juice to her milk. Healthy habits start early. In our family we try to follow the canada food guide where added sugar is a sometimes food, not an always food.posted 09/22/2011 by gogogreengo4
Coconut milk and Almond milk are fabulous alternatives. Coconut milk especially has calcium added and optimized for absorption. My son loves it. We get the kind with vanilla in it. He's allergic to dairy so we do coconut milk and then goat cheese and coconut milk yogurt products.posted 09/17/2011 by merrilynicola
My 13 month old twins wouldn't drink milk either. I didn't like the idea of chocolate milk, but I knew they needed more than the amount of yogurt they were eating. So I bought the nesquick (sugar free) and started with one teaspoon in their milk. After a few weeks I went down to 1/2 a teaspoon. And now they drink it just fine with no chocolate added! I still put some in every now and then but they will drink it plain now. Good luck!posted 09/15/2011 by Lane&Cole's Mommy
We mix a couple spoons of yogurt (berry or vanilla) into my 14 month olds whole milk and she loves it. It was the only way to keep her getting enough dairy or dairy alternatives once we stopped giving a bottle at 12 months. Each week we are using slightly less and less yogurt and my toddler doesn't notice the difference.posted 09/14/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
My daughter is almost 23 months and other than having cow's milk in her cereal she has never had it. I have tried and she always refuses. We tried chocolate milk, strawberry milk, everything.. She was nursed/still is nursed once to 2 times a day! I do not blame her for not liking it. It is very different from what she is used to. However, all the above info is so correct. As long as your child is eating a very healthy diet with cheese, yogurt, sour cream, a cottage cheese and most veggies, than its ok that your child is not drinking milk!posted 09/12/2011 by mjackson829

Have you heard of the
Have you heard of the "philosophy of liberty" on youtube? You have no right to tell me how to treat people. Even I have no right to tell them what to do.
Equality Marriage is creating a law to tell me how to approve them. I don't approve the gay marriage.
Marriage and Marriage License are not the same thing. Marriage License is the ownership contract by state, you and your partner. I don't believe we can own anyone. The definition of ownership is the relation of an owner to the thing possessed; possession with the right to transfer possession to others. It is big difference than the definition of "union". If you want to make an union with your partner, you have to talk with your partner about it, isn't it a very simple? not the contract under the government system.
Retirement welfare, estate and benefits have to be through the banking system. There still have a loophole around the marriage license. The restriction and eligibility of welfare for marriage is created by the banker, taxpayers and the government, not you. We have to make sure that they better get out of it. We don't need a license from a state to get bride!
Family values will be robbed by lawyer, destroyed by judge and taxed by a state if they get divorce after the marriage license.

Servo Tuning Feedback Devices Tachometers Fig. 4.3 Principle of optical encoder A permanent magnet DC motor may be used as a A Engineering Reference tachometer. When driven mechanically, this motor generates an output voltage that is proportional to shaft speed (see Fig. 4.1). The other main requirements for a tachometer are that the output voltage should be smooth over the operating range and that the output should be stabilized against Collimated Grating Mask Detector temperature variations. Light Source Small permanent magnet DC "motors" are An incremental encoder generates a pulse for a frequently used in servo systems as speed sensing given increment of shaft rotation (rotary encoder), or devices. These systems usually incorporate a pulse for a given linear distance travelled (linear thermistor temperature compensation and make encoder). Total distance travelled or shaft angular use of a silver commutator and silver loaded rotation is determined by counting the encoder brushes to improve commutation reliability at low output pulses. speeds and at the low currents, which are typical of this application. An absolute encoder has a number of output channels, such that every shaft position may be To combine high performance and low cost, DC- described by its own unique code. The higher the servo motor designs often incorporate a resolution the more output channels are required. tachometer mounted on the motor shaft and enclosed within the motor housing (Fig. 4.1). The Basics of Incremental Encoders Fig. 4.1 Tachometer output characteristics Since cost is an important factor in most industrial applications, and resetting to a known zero point Output following power failure is seldom a problem, the Volts rotary incremental encoder is the type most favored by system designers. Its main element is a shaft mounted disc carrying a grating, which rotates with the grating between a light source and a masked detector. The light source may be a light emitting diode or an incandescent lamp, and the detector is usually a phototransistor or more commonly a photo-voltaic diode. Such a simple system, providing a single low-level output, is unlikely to be Shaft Speed frequently encountered, since quite apart from its Fig. 4.2 Motor with integral tachometer low output signal, it has a DC offset that is Tachometer temperature dependent, making the signal difficult to use (Fig. 4.4).

There are a In practice, two photodiodes are used with two number of types in use: magnetic, contact, masks, arranged to produce signals with 180° resistive, and optical. However, for accurate phase difference for each channel, the two diode position control, the most commonly used device is outputs being subtracted so as to cancel the DC the optical encoder. There are two forms of this offset (Fig. 4.5).

Hence, incremental rotary encoders may have sine When light passes through the transparent areas of wave or square wave outputs, and usually have up the grating, an output is seen from the detector. to three output channels. For increased resolution, the light source is collimated and a mask is placed between the grating and the detector. The grating and the mask produce a shuttering effect, so that only when their transparent sections are in alignment is light allowed to pass to the detector (Fig. 4.3).

However, unless of the encoder shaft, can also provide information suitable precautions are taken, the cable on the direction of rotation by examination of the connecting the two can be a source of trouble due signals to identify the leading channel. This is to its picking up electrical noise. This noise may possible since the channels are normally arranged result in the loss or gain of signal counts, giving rise to be in quadrature (i.e., 90° phase shifted: to incorrect data input and loss of position.

This gives a single output pulse per revolution and is used when establishing the zero position. Channel A Fig. 4.6 Quadrature output signals - Ve Noise Pulse Fig. 4.7, shows how the introduction of two noise pulses has converted a four-pulse train into one of Channel A six pulses. A number of techniques are available to overcome problems due to noise. The most obvious resolution is to use shielded interconnecting cables.

The 31-year-old Jamaican scored 109 not out and added 198 runs for the unfinished third wicket stand with Darren Bravo (85 not out) to help the tourists recover from the early loss of the openers at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium.
The tourists, who lead the series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Dhaka by 77 runs, are now 146 behind Bangladesh's first innings total of 387.

Samuels, a star in West Indies's World Twenty20 triumph in Sri Lanka last month, drove spinner Shakib Al Hasan towards cover for his 11th boundary to complete his fifth Test hundred - and his third this year.
By the end of play he had hit 13 boundaries and a six during his 231-ball resistance-filled knock after Kieran Powell (13) and Chris Gayle (25) were dismissed in the pre-lunch session.
Bravo, who hit seven boundaries during his sedate 197-ball knock, helped Samuels set a new record for third wicket against Bangladesh, beating the 179-run stand between Brian Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan at Kingston in 2004.
Powell, who scored a century in each innings in the first Test, was caught at square-leg off a short delivery from paceman Rubel Hossain, while Gayle was well caught by wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim off spinner Sohag Gazi.
West Indian captain Darren Sammy praised Samuels and Bravo.
"Both Samuels and Bravo played well. I think Marlon did not get runs in the first match so he was looking for runs here and I am happy that he got a hundred," said Sammy.
"Bravo was equally good and both gave us a good stand."
Hasan debut
Earlier, Bangladesh added 22 to their overnight score of 365-8.
Abul Hasan, who on Wednesday became only the second man in 135 years of Test cricket to score a debut hundred while batting at number 10, was last man out.
The 20-year-old left-hander hit 14 boundaries and three sixes during his 163-ball knock before being caught in the slips off a short Fidel Edwards delivery.
He fell just four short of equalling the highest ever individual score by a number 10 batsman set by Walter Read for England against Australia at The Oval in 1884.
Mohammad Mahmudullah was dismissed in the third over of the day when he gave Sammy a return catch after scoring a solid 76.
He had helped Hasan add 184 runs for the ninth wicket to lift the home team from a precarious 193-8 on the first day.
Their partnership fell just 11 short of the world record ninth-wicket partnership by South African pair Mark Boucher and Pat Symcox against Pakistan in Johannesburg in 1998.
Mahmudullah hit nine boundaries during his almost three-hour stay.
Edwards was the pick of the bowlers with 6-90, his 12th five-wicket haul in Test matches. Sammy chipped in with 3-74.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne 'crossed the line' by saying she doesn't expect police to lay charges after they investigate the Liberals' actions in a Sudbury byelection, the opposition parties said Friday
The next leader needs to clean house, bringing in friendlier faces, better judgment and less-peripheral views.
What two Ontario Tory MPPs have done, with their idiotic declarations about sex ed. and evolution, is set aside every hard lesson learned by Conservatives in the past 15 years
If conservative Christians became as angry about poverty and injustice as they do about sex, the world be a better place … and the standing of Christians far higher
After a week of debate inside and out of the legislature, the openly gay premier said she believes some of the opposition is motivated by hate
"Is it that I have a master's of education?" the Ontario premier asked after she was asked about her credentials to update sex ed curriculum
On Monday, the Ontario government released the details of its new sex ed curriculum, catapulting the province's fretful moralists into the soft velour of their fainting chaises.
Politicians continue to stoke Canadians' fears of radical Islam — and it's probably going to backfire. It's even worse in Quebec. And you'll never guess what: The Ontario Liberals have somehow found a way to get even more morally decrepit.
Opposition parties have called for the top staffer to resign amid investigations into allegations of bribery related to the Sudbury bylection
Equipped with a four-year mandate, Ontario's government has quit pretending it plans to clean up its act and has turned instead to whitewashing misdeeds and stonewalling critics.

Latest Extrasolar planets Stories
A team of scientists at Germany's Max-Planck Institute for Astronomy has discovered a potentially habitable planet about 3.6 times as massive of Earth orbiting the star HD 85512, roughly 36.23 light years away.
Astronomers said on Thursday that they have discovered the darkest known exoplanet they say is the size of Jupiter.
The French-led CoRoT satellite has found ten new planets outside our Solar System.
Scientists said on Monday that a rocky planet outside our solar system is the first to meet key requirements for sustaining life.
Scientists said on Wednesday the majority of the 500 planets detected around stars besides the Sun appear to spin the same way the star does.
An international team of astronomers have revealed details of a "super-exotic" exoplanet that would make the planet Pandora in the movie Avatar pale in comparison.
Jupiter-like worlds around other stars push shock waves ahead of them, according to a team of UK astronomers.
Detecting exoplanets that orbit at large distances from their star remains a challenge for planet hunters.
Astronomy & Astrophysics is publishing new observations of the giant planet around β Pictoris.
Recently published in an article of the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, a group of researchers has discovered, for the first time, a delta Scuti pulsating star that hosts a hot giant transiting planet.
Latest Extrasolar planets Reference Libraries
Extrasolar Planet -- An extrasolar planet is a planet orbiting around a star other than the Sun. Extrasolar planets were first discovered in the 1990s as a result of improved telescope technology, CCD and computer-based image processing which allowed far more accurate measurements of stellar motions. The first extrasolar planets were reported by the astronomer Aleksander Wolszczan in 1993, orbiting the pulsar PSR 1257+12. Subsequent investigation has determined that they are only planets...
Epsilon Eridani -- Epsilon Eridani is a main-sequence star in the constellation of Eridanus (the river). It is often used in science fiction because it is extremely sunlike, and in the fictional Star Trek universe it is the home sun of the planet Vulcan which is home to Mr. Spock. It is the third closest star visible without a telescope. It has 85% of the Sun's mass, almost that much of its diameter, and 28% of its luminosity. It is 10.5 light years from Earth. Its spectrum is...
La Silla Observatory -- La Silla is a 2400-m mountain, bordering the southern extremity of the Atacama desert in Chile. It is located about 160 Km north of La Serena. Its geographical coordinates are: Latitude 29 15' south & Longitude 70 44' west. Originally known as Cinchado, the mountain was renamed La Silla (the saddle) after its shape. It rises quite isolated and remote from any artificial light and dust sources (astronomy's worst enemies). La Silla was the first ESO...

Stopped in here for 1 night, very clean and friendly. A nice hot tub and a nice outdoor small pool.
If you want somewhere to lay your head and feel comfortable this is a good choice. Only a five min walk to the main shops and beach of Paihai. The couple that run the place were happy to recommend restaurants...
Stayed here for 1 night based on other good reviews. The main points to note are that it is very cheap and very clean. The room had all the amenities you need and is only a 10 minute walk into Paihia. Very impressed and would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!

RUSNANO Deputy CEO Andrey Svinarenko presented the document proof that products of the company conform to the high standards of the nanoindustry-to Plastic Logic Vice President Daren Benzi during their meeting in Moscow.
Standard setting and certification are important steps in developing infrastructure for the nanoindustry. Certification guarantees the safety, quality, and competitiveness of nanoindustry products. The system underlying nanocertification was created as a service to manufacturers in the nanoindustry, and consumers of their products, at the initiative of and with support from RUSNANO.
Plastic Logic, producer of eReaders with flexible displays based on plastic electronics, is the first RUSNANO project company to receive a Nanocertificate for its products. The company's high school and undergraduates eReader textbooks withstood rigorous testing: they correspond to all stipulations for safety, conform to characteristics claimed by the company, and meet all requirements of the nanocertification system.
Flexible plastic displays became possible when scientists applied nanotechnology for low-temperature construction of basic elements in the displays-nanosized thin-film organic transistors and active matrixes that generate imageson the heat-resistant flexible and thin plastic substrate. Thanks to the application of nanotechnology, Plastic Logic eReaders deliver high performance with excellent consumer properties-energy efficiency, low weight, high durability. Displays on the company's eReaders are large, 10.7 inches; images have high resolution and contrast and can retain displayed images after power is cut off.
RUSNANO was founded in March 2011 as an open joint stock company through reorganization of state corporation Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies. RUSNANO's mission is to develop the Russian nanotechnology industry through co-investment in nanotechnology projects with substantial economic potential or social benefit. The Government of the Russian Federation owns 100 percent of the shares in RUSNANO. Work to establish nanotechnology infrastructure and training for nanotechnology specialists, formerly conducted by the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies, has been entrusted to the Fund for Infrastructure and Educational Programs, a non-commercial fund also established through reorganization of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies.

Covering up a tile backsplash?
The kitchen in the house we're buying has small 1/2" square tiles as the backsplash. Needless to say we hate it and would rather have something smooth and easy to clean BUT there's no room in the budget (ever) for doing anything in the kitchen except replacing the existing range/switching the OTR micro for a real range hood, and replacing the flooring. The cabinets and Corian counter are fine and will remain... we just REALLY hate the backsplash.
Btw, even though the pic makes it look as if the tile matches the countertop... it doesn't, in real life. The tiles are definitely yellow and the countertop is cream. The tiles are also the ONLY yellow thing in the room. Another reason for covering them up, LOL
Any suggestions for covering up the ugly tile with something smooth, thin and easily cleanable? We did look at those faux-metal backsplash panels that are supposed to look like antique pressed tin etc, but didn't like them at all.
Thin sheets of stainless steel maybe? applied with construction glue? Ripping out the backsplash wall/tile isn't an option, we would like a quick coverup if possible.
There is a fairly recent post about stainless steel back splash in a diamond pattern. It is lovely and quite affordable. The ss is also available with no pattern and also a few other patterns. The post should be on the first 3 to 4 pages here on GW. I wrote the web site down as I am keeping it for future reference. It is at home though and I won't be home until this evening.
Unfortunately, health/mobility issues rule out any DIY projects for either of us. :-(
Which means extra $$$ to have a contractor and/or tile guy do a ripout/replacement in addition to what he is already going to have to do. Living on a fixed income really enforces a budget. The floor replacement is a must because knee and back issues mandate having a resilient flooring instead of the tile that's currently there. The existing stove is being sold in "as is" condition and doesn't work properly. We're getting a credit at closing because of that, which is the reason we'll be able to upgrade to an induction range.
Holly-kay, I'd love that backsplash web page info when you are able to find it, thanks!

is this tile job price correct?
In the midst of a renovation and builder has been great about issuing credits for parts of the job eliminated (although the credits have been very, very light, which just puts more profit in his pocket). I'm concerned about his lack of experience and familiarity (and particularity with details) and am considering using my own tile guy. the credit he's said he would give me is $5100 - which is what he swears he'd pay his tile guy (who supposedly does high end work in a wealthy suburb in the northeast).
The job consists of: 2 baths - one with a custom steam shower, diagonal bathroom floor tile pattern with border (about 50 sq feet of diagonal), porcelean tile and natural stone accents, stone mosaic backsplash. the other bath - all ceramic tile and one wall of glass tile. Niches in both baths. Lastly a floor tile in the kitchen (about 200 sq ft total) and a kitchen backsplash.
It sounds like he's giving me a ridiculously low credit based on quotes I have gotten from others. any advice on how to deal with this situation?
I think it sounds low, based only on my experience of getting two bids for the tile work in my MB remodel. I would get 2-3 bids for other tile guys and then you have solid numbers to work with. If it were me I might even say, "that number sounds low, but I'm going to get 2-3 bids and then we can talk more."
The number the builder gets can be low based on his volume of work with that particular tiler. Or it could be based on a less complex layout than you've indicated and would have been raised had you gone forward with the more complex layout. Bottom line is that what is written in the contract is what you get. It doesn't matter what the real world quotes you get for the same work come out to being.
Only if you are on a cost plus contract. If you are a fixed cost, the only thing that really matters is the bottom line figure that you were given and you are not entitled to any of the costs behind that figure. In the end, the allowances are what the allowances are. If you want something other than what's indicated in the contract, you will pay a premium for it from whatever source.
Is it reasonable to ask him to show us the details of his quote?
let me put it this way-- if he won't, he's hiding something. Get someone else. Let me show you a sample of the kind of estimate I give to any of my customers. This is copied and pasted right off the original estimate:

*NOTE- These prices for tile installation are all based on square set soldier coursing (standard grid pattern) ceramic tile, except where noted. If different pattern, or stone is used, price will change.
Yes, if you're getting estimates for a job, that level of detail in the pricing is necessary. But, if a general contractor is doing a job that you are a sub on and includes in his bid, "Ceramic tile, set on Ditra, for X, Y, Z room, $4100," that's all the OP needs to know if she is insisting on rejecting that contractor's work in favor of hiring her own.
The only thing that matters here (or EVER) is the price in writing in the contract, and that's the only credit the OP will ever be entitled to, if the GC allows the homeowner to pick and choose her own subs (most won't allow wholesale substitution like that). Just because the subsequent bids are higher than the contractor's original line item, (typical for upgrades) doesn't mean she gets a credit for the higher price. If she doesn't use the tile sub that the contractor used to bid the project, then whatever price anyone else bids for the job is up to her to pay, with only the lower number as the credit. And it doesn't matter HOW the contractor arrived at that number if a credit is being given.
What if you requested to meet with the builders tile guy and ascertained his skills & experience? If he has a portfolio of his work, references you can contact, and answers your questions well then perhaps you can use him and then there is no question of allowances.

Weight Lifting Makes for a Well-Rounded Fitness Routine
Tuesday, February 24th, 2015
For years I was a cardio-only kind of gal. I prided myself on the ability to run for as long and far as I could before dropping. I reveled in the fact that I could run multiple days in a row without rest or that I could run and then get on a bike and pedal and then get in a pool in swim.
I never lifted a weight.
I had a fear of lifting. I tend to bulk up quickly in the arms. I didn't want to look like a body builder. I felt, too, strength training in general, and weights specifically, would not help my running.
I was wrong.…

What is the Hourly Rate for a Babysitter in YOUR Area?
Sunday, January 25th, 2015
When our children were born we lived in Los Angeles, which, of course, was a wee bit more expensive than living in our current southern, small town location.
When hubby and I decided to finally enjoy a date night (over a year after having our first daughter), I gathered together a list of referred babysitters in our area and started making calls.
I was surprised to discover babysitters charged, on average, $15 per hour! I figured it was just my thrifty mindset and the fact that when I babysat I believe I made something like $4 per hour. But we didn't have family around and we hadn't had a date night in so long we'd actually forgotten what it was like to eat dinner without someone throwing food at us, so we were set on going out.
We did, and we loved it, but the cost of that one date night made us wait a long, long time (and a cross country move) before we went out again.…

Ah, Mom's Aching Back! Stretches to Ease the Pain
Friday, January 23rd, 2015
There have been a few constants since I had children.
One, I don't get enough sleep. It used to be because the kids woke me at night for feedings and changings; now it is because nighttime is the only time I get to read, play on the Internet, and watch TV.
Two, I can't plan like I used to. I used to want to know exactly what I was going to do all the time. Not happening now. If I plan something these days, someone inevitably ends up sick or in need of doing something else.

Holiday Shop Early to Save Money: 4 Tips
Friday, August 30th, 2013
It may seem like Christmas is still in the distant future – we just started back to school, and its warm enough outside to go for a swim in the afternoon. But in just four short months we'll be baking cookies and wrapping gifts – and breaking the bank – if we don't start planning for it now.
This article on Investopedia reveals that in 2011 the average American spent $646 on Christmas gifts and that amount was expected to increase by $200 the following year.
Additionally, MSN released a report in 2011 that showed that average American parents spend about $271 per child on Christmas gifts; one in ten, over $500 dollars per child.
That's a lot of money.
If you start planning now for the holidays, Christmas doesn't have to create such a financial burden.
