Stand-alone fridge?
I still cannot figure out what's wrong with a stand-alone fridge.
When the built-in fridge that came with the house broke, we bought - keeping future remodel in mind - a new CD (24" deep) fridge. It is at the very end of the shorter leg of an L-shaped counter with one side by the kitchen entrance door (from the LR).
We could have gotten a less expensive one w/o SS sides (in order for it to be built-in) but b/c of the space being very limited on that wall, I did not want to waste precious 3" on something that served no function. That is why we got one with SS front and sides, so it could stand alone, next to the counter.
Now, I am seeing *everywhere* only fridges that have cabinet walls around them and with closed cabinets above, of the same depth as the fridge, even if the upper cabinets next to them are not as deep.
(To be clear, I am not talking about integrated fridges.)
There are other reasons, not quite relevant to this discussion, why I don't want cabinetry around the fridge or CD cabinets above it, though I wouldn't mind an open shelf or cabinets of the same depth as the other upper cabinets on that wall (say, 12").
Could you, kitchen design pros, explain to me why it would be a wrong thing to do, so to speak?
I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and it may just be one of those trends that we'll be talking about 20 years from now. 20 years ago, it was popular to have a one foot piece down from the over-the-fridge cabinet. I think it's purpose was to hide the cords and plumbing if the fridge is at the end of the cabinet run and not against a wall.
I want a cabinet around my fridge because my fridge is next to a counter and I hate it when stuff falls off the edge of the cabinet into that slot and I can't get it out. Plus I'll have a full height cabinet on the other side and it will look better.
Forty years ago the question would have been "why doesn't anyone have a freestanding range anymore?" The answer was that kitchens evolved. Ranges no longer needed to be as large as they once were, and it was possible to slip them inline with the cabinets rather than devote an entire wall to them. Regarding fridges, although fridges expanded over time, the standard cabinet dimensions didn't. High-end kitchens got built-ins for a seamless look. Designers of mid-level kitchens then sought to imitate those with true built-in fridges by adding side panels to match the cabinets. Then it was compounded by the ubiquitous SS fridge with the gray or black box. They have an awkward two-tone look that an all-white or an all-black fridge doesn't have. You got around that by paying for the SS sides on your fridge and by not minding that big hunk of metal at the end of your kitchen.
I think the freestanding fridge looks good in certain settings: quite modern and quite simple/primitive. It looks worst when it is a full-depth fridge tucked into a CD spot with shallow cabinets above it.
I know exactly what you mean. I consider a boxed-in fridge to be a Modern Trend (harrumph) and I am not necessarily in favor. However... I'm planning to box in ours. Two reasons: a 24" deep cabinet above would be very handy, and also the only fridges I've seen that have nicely finished sides cost a lot more than the cabinet box will (at least our cabinet box).
Still, we will have a regular depth fridge sticking unattractively out of a counter-depth box until we are ready to replace it. Bah.
What brand fridge do you have ?Do you find that it gives you sufficient storage(narrow but tall) ? I looked at the panels and it looks like you lose space on both sides with the panel and space needed to pull the fridge out.I'm going to double check it but it looked like approx. 6" total. I'm not too concerned about it either way I guess as I have the "free standing range" too :) and no counter on either side of the range....
Thank you!
Do you have pix of yours or a link to the thread that has them? As Tracie mentioned seeing them, I am assuming they have been posted here at some point.
I like the idea of "a very narrow panel at the very back, or a slight bumpout in the wall to the offending side"!
"You got around that by paying for the SS sides on your fridge and by not minding that big hunk of metal at the end of your kitchen."
ROFL! See, I am one of those people who like an "industrial look". I wouldn't care if all aplliances and counters were SS, as long as the furniture is wood. I think that I could always "warm it up" with accessories. No, I am not going with everything SS, just explaining why I don't mind "that big hunk of metal at the end of your kitchen".
Another thing is that the fridge is not all that noticeable b/c of its location.
I have a 30" Liebherr fridge and I do NOT have sufficient storage but that is the longer part of the story.
I guess I have to "come clean" and just tell my other motive for wanting a stand-alone fridge, LOL.
When we originally got it, it was just the two of us and we had given up hopes of having a baby. For my future kitchen, I wanted to "gain" as much counter space as possible, as I had practically no landing space next to the fridge. Whoever designed this kitchen should really burn in H**L. :-)
That is why we got a 30" W and ~80" tall (bottom freezer) fridge, when the old 36" French-door GE (that came with the house) "died", not b/c I was trying to save money as the price difference was not all that much compared to the overall cost.
BTW, the old one was not very "roomy" either as the freezer was taking up too much vertical space but we used it very little and it just "stood there" empty most of the time.
So, the 30" width was a big mistake in every way. Later, we bought a separate cheap freezer (which is another headache right now) but a 30" fridge is just not enough for 3 people, especially b/c I started pickling stuff, after DD came along, and the jars take up a lot of space. We are really tired of re-arranging the stuff inside every time we need to put something in.
Also, I was so NOT keeping re-sale in mind when buying the fridge, LOL. I think I am the only person on this planet who'd get a 30" one for a house of this size. :-)
I am pretty sure that the next owner will have a larger fridge - and NO place to put it, if I don't leave enough room on that wall - which would be quite an impediment, don't you think?
Plus, if our current one ever breaks, the next one will be a 36" one, I promise. :-)
I have been trying VERY hard to solve this problem of designing cabinetry in a way that would allow a 36" fridge later on, but couldn't find any good solutions. I thought of having a 36" opening and then putting a door or a very narrow slide-out cabinet (possibly, with SS sheeting over the door) on one side of the fridge, but that would look weird too, no?
Which brings back the original "plan" of a stand-alone refrigerator. I am really not sure what the lesser of two evils is.
You, guys and girls, are so creative, perhaps, you could find a better way?
Thanks for reading!
It's just 2 of us though I cook ALOT for people all the time. Tons of fresh veggies and fruits make their home in there. When we have large parties... I fire up all the small extra frigs we have around the place. One in DH's shop, one by the outdoor kitchen, and one in the screen room. But most other times it's holds a surprising amount. I don't can though. We have a 36" FD Liebherr. My layout wiht the bakers table screamed for a all stainless frig and I want true counter depth.
Here it is in the context of the rest of my kitchen. Not the best cell phone shot.
Smart girl!
I should have gotten a 36" FD as yours. :-(
Also, yours looks pretty balanced there b/c it is wider.
Well, I guess there is no kitchen police that will put me in jail if I let mine stand alone, LOL. In the worst case scenario, I won't be posting "My finished kitchen" pix here, ha-ha-ha.
BTW, what are your counters and the sink? I realy like them!
Thanks eleena. My counters are Monsoon Wave soapstone and the sink is a Lavello 36" curved front single bowl apron sink. The soapstone is wilder then most for sure! Love both the function and look of them both. If you do a search you'll find a bunch of threads where I've posted pics.
Thank you!
After looking through many finished kitchen and assessing the "mood" of my kitchen, I am pretty sure that I want green soapstone.
I called our local stone company yesterday to ask if they could order me one. They did not sound optimistic but we shall see...
mine is blackish with tons of seaglass green in it.
I don't know where you are located by I bought mine in NJ and paid to have it shipped down here to Florida. A bit crazy I know...but it was the exact look I wanted and the only place I could get it. I don't know where you are located.
I got mine from M Teixeira in Hackensack, NJ. If you live anywhere in Florida... I highly highly highly recommend Joshua from Creative Soapstone. He is a master in soapstone fabrication and it's his company. He and his wife Mimi deal exclusively in soapstone. They stock in their yard in Punta Gorda, but did not stock the particular stone I wanted. M Teixeira is their supplier, or was...assuming it still is. I had the slab shipped to them and then Joshua came in his mobile fabrication truck to So. Florida and did the job. He is a perfectionist and they both are a pleasure to deal with. It was worth the travel and shipping charges I had to pay. Joshua is pretty well known on this board so if you do a soapstone search or search Florida Joshua, you'll probably come up with some threads.
Here is a link that might be useful: Creative Soapstone
'Ranges no longer needed to be as large as they once were,"
well yikes! I think many of them have grown again...
i don't see anything wrong with a stand alone fridge - even if the wires/pipes can be seen if someone peeks in behind. If they're peeking in there maybe those wires and pipes should jump out and bite 'em.
I think in 15-20 yrs people will look at the builtins and say "what WERE they thinking to do this?"
someone in just the past day or so posted their kitchen with a pantry along the side of their fridge (others have done that also). You could do something like that and have it made so that in the future if you get a larger fridge it can be removed - or at least made less deep. Book/decorative shelves would also work.
as for space inside - have you tried any of the in fridge pull out shelves? qvc has one (full shelf) and amazon has some smaller ones that slide in/out. I'm going to use a few of those in my fridge and see how much it helps me not lose things in the back of it.
eleena and remodel
I am in the same situation...trying to use the fridge I have but design for a different unit. I don't care about resale, everyone always rips the kitchen out if they have $$$ or adapts if they don't. It seems like no fridge is designed with adequate vegetable storage but there's always a ridiculous amount of plastic to hold soda bottles.. I can't spend thousands for a fridge, I will be buying a freestanding Fisher & Paykel when the GE profile quits. The 36" Liebherr looks nice next to the baker's table. Eleena when you are done post your pictures, it helps all of us who don't have magazine kitchens/houses. I read in a small kitchens design book that the areas to concentrate on were: Fridge size, sink size and (any size) pantry. Surprise the first thing I bought was a large single bowl sink. It takes up extra counter but I don't care. I have always had 48" of counter.
Flor & Desert--you make me smile :) Flor what do you mean the fridge has no housing ?The back is missing ?
Thank you, ladies, you make me feel better!
IDK what it is about this board but it is sort of a "safe haven". I come here when I am "low" and frustrated and just read, even when I don't have a question and don't need any help.
Just something about everyone being so nice, supportive, and willing to help. I don't think I have seen many places like this one.
You people are the best!

What may be the biggest country music destination concert ever is awaiting you!
How would you like to spend several days at a wonderful Mexican resort, watching four fabulous country stars perform - and perhaps rub elbows with them by the pool bar?
Tickets for country music's getaway party at the Riviera Maya in Mexico are now on sale. Dierks Bentley, Brantley Gilbert, Billy Currington and Jana Kramer are the four headliners for Tropical Nights: Boots in the Sand, the ultimate vacation escape. It's five days and four nights of nothing but white sand, blue skies and country music.
In his latest song, "I Hold On", Dierks Bentley sings about the old truck he keeps and still drives today.
Dierks Bentley has a lot going on right now. With his third child –and first son, who the proud papa joked would be named after Luke Bryan—on the way, the singer is also in the home stretch stage of opening a bar in his native Scottsdale, Ariz. next week. He shared a photo of the menu for the state-of-the-art establishment, dubbed Whiskey Row.
Dierks Bentley is getting set to release a new album in the fall, and he says the new music is the most personal that he's ever made.
Earlier this year, Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley threw a great show at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall. The pair's tour will swing back into New Jersey this summer
The ACM Awards are coming up this Sunday in Las Vegas.

What should be done in the meanwhile - let everything collapse? Obama seems to want viable restructuring, so why not give the auto companies $15 billion out of already approved funds?
Your last sentence completely misses the point. It is precisely because it will pass in the new year that they are happy to stop it now. For those Republicans who support the eventual bailout, if you know it is going through in a couple months, there is no drawback to standing up for principle now. You get plaudits from the small govt wing and the bill gets passed anyway. Win-win.
I'm also skeptical of the argument that nobody will buy a car from an automaker in Chapter 11. From media reports it seems like this is based on surveys, but surveys are not usually the best predictor of actual behavior. Is there a historical example that would make a stronger case?
"Frank said the agreement would likely be a $15 billion loan package, with funds taken from a previous, $25 billion loan package approved by Congress to bolster automakers' efforts to make their products more energy-efficient."This is $15 billion out of the $25 billion, which has already been approved by Congress. Wouldn't this be a short-term loan until March, giving whoever (Mitt Romney) a chance to structure a long-term restructuring? He does have experience with a similar problem as Governor of Massachusetts. (and Olympic Winter Games XIX). It's December 10th ... take it up again in the Spring. Nobody will figure this out by tomorrow.
Dan Lundgren is right, Chapter 11 does mean "restructuring and rebirth," at its worked very well historically. Would it kill you to look up the meaning of the word REORGANIZATION in bankruptcy law?Here let me help you:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapter_11,_Title_11,_United_States_Code
Why should we reward failure?
They may be counting on the possibility that if GM and Chrysler don't get bailouts until mid-January, they'll HAVE to file Chapter 11, since GM may run out of money by the end of December.
Look, I respect the ideologically pure (especially since this means that the Republicans are moving away from the Big Government stuff), but come on. What about the little political capital they have?
Definitely think the answer is yes. There's a quote that goes something like this "it is better to have fought the bailouts and lost than to not have fought at all" I think the Republicans will adopt an Alamo philosophy from now till past the new congress and president.

Harold E. "Pete" Stark Manager of Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance and Process ImprovementU.S. Postal ServiceWhen the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was giving the U.S. Postal Service a headache, requiring the agency to sort through IT implementation and compliance efforts on a giant scale, Pete Stark provided the remedy.
Stark manages all IT-related activities related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, including establishing and directing an internal IT audit activity and creating and managing governance, risk and compliance processes.
Despite working with an antiquated IT infrastructure, Stark's team found solutions that were eventually used elsewhere in the organization, even for applications that were not part of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The efforts were so successful that the Navy sought advice from USPS for the military service's internal financial accounting processes.

25 Aug 2014 08:18 GMT | Politics, Mozambique, Africa
Mozambique's former rebel group Renamo and the Frelimo-led government have signed a ceasefire deal, ending two years of armed conflict, ahead of a presidential election scheduled for October 15.
Chief negotiators from the government and Renamo signed the declaration late on Sunday night in the capital Maputo, ending a nearly year-long negotiation process.
"A ceasefire has been signed," Renamo's chief negotiator at the peace talks with the government, Saimon Macuiane, told the AFP news agency, adding that the "definitive agreement" was effective as of 20:00 GMT on Sunday.
Renamo forces have waged a low-level armed struggle since party leader Afonso Dhlakama returned to the bush in 2012, two decades after he signed a peace accord with the ruling Frelimo party.
Men thought to be members of the former rebel movement have been attacking buses, trucks and cars on the main north-south highway since April last year.
Government forces overran the Renamo base camp in the central Gorongosa district a few months later in August.
The late night declaration came after the two sides reached a general peace agreement a week ago, including consensus over the integration of Renamo's remaining armed forces into state security forces.
Rebel leader in hiding
Dhlakama, who has been hiding in the remote Gorongosa mountains in central Sofala province for close to a year, did not travel to the capital to sign the ceasefire himself, despite previously promising he would do so once his party reached a final agreement with the government.
"He mandated me to declare it," Macuiane said but suggested Dhlakama would meet Mozambique's President Armando Guebuza at a later date.
"It is obvious that there will be a high level, symbolic meeting later on," he said.
Under terms agreed with the government, Dhlakama expects to keep his personal "security guards" [numbering several hundred] until they can be integrated into state forces, a process that will be overseen by an international force.
Similarly, Renamo only expects to hand over its remaining weapons after the integration process has begun.
"We have begun a new era for the country," Macuiane said, calling the ceasefire an "important step towards national reconciliation ... and a durable peace".
Parliament is expected to begin working to create conditions as set out in the peace agreement in the coming week.
Despite the ceasefire, Renamo and the government will continue negotiations as not all points have been settled including "economic questions" and the status of Renamo appointees into security structures, Macuiane said.
The date set for presidential and national polls, October 15, remains unchanged, Macuiane indicated.
The ceasefire will also allow Dhlakama to leave his bush base and campaign for the elections.
The constitution bars Guebuza from running for a third term and former Defence Minister Filipe Nyusi will run as the Frelimo candidate.
Whoever wins the vote will face the challenging task of bringing to fruition major coal and offshore natural gas investment projects that have the potential to bring billions of dollars to a nation that was in ruins two decades ago.
Source: Agencies
Preliminary results suggest Frelimo is in the lead after opposition party Renamo boycotted municipal elections.
Ruling party wins municipal elections peacefully, but some fear a return to civil war.

Haiti was hit by a devastating earthquake in January this year that killed more than 250,000 people and left much of the country in ruins.'Patently illegal'Campaigners, including Noam Chomsky, the US linguist, and Naomi Klein, the Canadian author, described the debt as "patently illegitimate ... and illegal".
"The 'independence debt', which is today valued at over 17bn euros illegitimately forced a people who had won their independence in a successful slave revolt, to pay again for the freedom," the letter, published in Britain's Guardian and France's Liberation on Sunday, said.
Haiti launched a lawsuit in 2004 to recover the money, but it was abandoned after France backed the overthrow of Haiti's government.
The letter said such actions were "inappropriate responses to a demand that is morally, economically, and legally unassailable".
"In light of the urgent financial need in the country in the wake of the devastating earthquake of January 12, 2010, we urge you to pay Haiti, the world's first black republic, the restitution it is due," it said.
Haiti, then St Dominique, was France's most profitable colony due to the slave trade. In 1791 the slaves revolted, and in 1804, after defeating Napoleon's armies, the world's first black republic was founded.
France subsequently demanded the independence debt to compensate former colonists for the slaves who had won their freedom, and threatened a military invasion if the money was not paid.
Sunday's letter has also been signed by members of parliament from Europe, Canada and the Philippines, along with scholars, journalists and activists in France, Haiti, the US, Canada, the UK, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Germany.

One expects more comedy than vocal proficiency from the Robertsons, and in their song 'Hairy Christmas,' that's what you get. Luke Bryan joins Willie Robertson and company on this singalong that aims to be the next 'Merry Christmas from the Family.'
During the opening for Wednesday night's CMA awards, hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood had the crowd in stitches when they unveiled "Obamacare By Morning", a parody of George Strait's classic "Amarillo By Morning".
Willie and Korie Robertson, from A&E's 'Duck Dynasty' have been announced as presenters for the 47th annual CMA Awards in Nashville Wednesday November 7th.
Duck Dynasty has now become Duck "Dine"asty with the opening of Willie's Duck Diner in West Monroe. The restaurant which opened on Friday features great southern style cooking and of course plenty of duck on the menu.
Did reality show superstar Phil Robertson influence a special election for Congress? The short answer is yes. By no means are we insinuating that there was any impropriety or wrong doing. This is basically a story of one man voicing his support for a candidate and others reacting to his endorsement.
Dolly Parton is a woman of many talents. But did you know she can rap? The country music treasure proved her rap prowess and demonstrated her skills in another genre in this preview clip from her upcoming appearance on 'The Queen Latifah Show.'
Have your kids decided what they are going to be for Halloween? If the answer is no, then you better get to steppin'!
Check out the 'Behind the Scenes' making of the upcoming 'Duck Dynasty' Christmas album called 'Duck the Halls - A Robertson Family Christmas', out in stores Oct 29!
One the main reasons I watch "Duck Dynasty" is to hear what is going to come out of Uncle Si's mouth next. As we all know, he never disappoints.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
While there have been vast improvements made in the last 20 years, there are nearly 750 million people in the world today who go without sanitary drinking water. These populations live in mostly poor, rural areas that are cut off from fresh drinking supplies.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
5/9/2014 (10 months ago)
Published in Africa
Keywords: Water, sub-Saharan Africa, open toilets, sanitation
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - More than two billion people have gained access to improved water supplies between 1990 and 2012. In addition, almost two billion gained access to improved sanitation over the same period.
However -- according to a report by the World Health Organization, or WHO and the U.N. children's agency UNICEF, 748 million people, half of which live in sub-Saharan Africa and half in Asia go without improved drinking water source. More than one third of the global population, some 2.5 billion people, still do not have access to a basic toilet and one billion people still practice "open defecation," the report said.
Find out how you can help in the fight against world hunger -- by going here!
Clean drinking water and sanitation are seen as crucial in the fight against killer diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dysentery and typhoid. Both WHO and UNICEF say there remain sharp inequalities in access to improved drinking water and sanitation.
"Progress on rural sanitation - where it has occurred - has primarily benefitted richer people, increasing inequalities," Maria Neira, WHO's director for public health, said in a statement.
Fifty-six countries had met an internationally agreed goal, or a Millennium Development Goal to halve by 2015 the proportion of the population without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
Seventy-seven countries have met the MDG sanitation target; 116 countries have met the MDG drinking water target.
The majority of the 45 countries expected to miss the MDG target for safe drinking water are in sub-Saharan Africa, which also has the lowest levels of improved sanitation with South Asia.
There will still be 2.4 billion people without access to an improved sanitation facility in 2015, falling short of the MDG sanitation target by over half a billion people, the report said.
"The question now is, what will the new targets be? There is a growing consensus that (they) should focus on universal access (to safe water and sanitation) as a part of the push to end extreme poverty by 2030," WaterAid's deputy head of policy, Tom Slaymaker, says.
"The only way in which we are going to get there is by having a very serious commitment and focus on reducing inequalities."

Green Plum Varieties
Basically, Im wondering what cultivars of plums have green flesh and skin? I bought some at the store, Ontario grown, and was just wondering the type.
I went on the Agro ontario site, and they didnt list any plum on there, that was green flesh and skin, only "yellowish".
The only thing that really pops up when I google "Green plum", or "green flesh plum", is the "Greengage" plum.
Emerald Beaut is a green skinned and green (greenish yellow) fleshed plum. I just bought some at the farmer's market, in fact, they're just coming in now. I love them because they are super sweet. Mine is just new this year, so hoping for some nice plum next season. There are several other yellow-green to green plums as well, but I think Emerald Beaut is one of the greener plums. There is the Wickson and the Kelsey (which is heart shaped), that are also pretty green, and quite good. And of course the Shiro. The flesh of all these will vary from golden to greenish. And of course, Green Gage plum is an old standby that I think is pretty good. Not as good as Emerald Beaut I don't think, but certainly a good plum.
Patty S.
These guys are Ontario grown. I do believe cali and ontario grow different species (for the most part).
I do know recently Ontario has started to grow "greengage", but the only yellow/green flesh type that I seen that was widely planted was "shiro" ( the data may be from 2009 - 2010).
Im wondering, because greengage is said to have a good, change to grow true from seed ( as well as other green/yellow types )
I can only say of Greengage because this is what I grow for maybe 10 years now, I love this one, nice and sweet when fully ripe on tree,..couldn't be sold this way, it would be too soft,.. perhaps you might consider.
Well, I can say that the plums were delivered to the store very ripe. Most of them were actually over ripe when I ate some. Most were edible, super sweet and juicy, with a slight bitterness around the pit.
Greengage seems to be the mainstay "green/yellow" plum from what ive read. I had no idea it was hardy enough to make it up in Edmonton.
I was the first one to grow it here, including some other European prune plums, some years it's good, some years you have none. Surprisingly not much freeze back. This year will be a fairly good crop, not as good as this..

Journal Sentinel sports columnist Bob Wolfley offers his take on the local and national sports scene.
Mark Attanasio says Ryan Braun will continue 'working in the community and being a good citizen here'
Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, seated near his customary spot near the Brewers' dugout, was interviewed in the third inning during the Fox Sports Wisconsin telecast of the home opener by broadcasters Brian Anderson and Bill Schroeder.
Anderson asked Attanasio about slugger Ryan Braun, who received a standing ovation from the Miller Park crowd when he came to bat in the first inning He returned to regular-season play after serving a 65-game suspension last year for violating MLB's drug policy.
Attanasio was asked about what he expects from Braun this season.
"I think the fans are telling you what we all think in the community," Attanasio said, referring to the ovation for Braun before his first at-bat. "Ryan admitted he did something wrong, took his punishment. Then from that point forward did everything he needed to do much of which he had done previous. He was always a charitable person in the community. He continued his efforts there. He's moved to right field to help us get Khris Davis in the lineup. And he had a terrific spring.
"Fans understand that he has been through all of that," Attanasio said. "And we have the expectation that he is going to continue and there is no reason to think he won't continue. By that I mean working in the community and being a good citizen here. We always knew he was a good baseball player. And we expect to see that this season too."

I was trying to install the Viper Sense ROM (which I now believe should not have been done seeing as it is a GPE device) and in the process of setting it up went to change the recovery from TWRP to change it to PhilZ Touch as the ROM was trying to install. The ROM refused to install. Upon reboot and then trying to go back into recovery I discovered that my phone would say "Booting to recovery..." and then after about 20-30 seconds boot the device normally and bypass the recovery screen. Can anyone tell me what I can do to restore recovery to my phone? Let me know if there is any more info needed. The bootloader is unlocked and has S-OFF. Tried this about a month and a half ago and have not had the time or patience to try and figure this out more. Thanks

Rabbit Vibrators – The Most Desirable Sex Toys for Women
Brushing away the taboo associated with sex toys, women nowadays are a lot more keen in exploring their sexuality than ever before. They no longer settle for spending sleepless nights craving for some sexual fun if their partners are not around. Rabbit vibrators are now their favorite source of fun during those lonely nights.
There are many types of rabbit vibrators and their ease of use along with the intensity of pleasure rendered by them contributes immensely to their popularity. These vibrators consist of two parts – the phallus and the bunny ears. The phallus is inserted into the vagina and stimulates it. Alongside, bunny ears snuggle the clitoris, rub it and heighten the pleasure.
Types of Rabbit Vibrators
You can choose your favorite rabbit vibrator according to what works best for your sexual stimulation. Some of the most coveted rabbit vibrators are given below:
- Silicon Rabbit Vibrator – This easy to clean vibrator is perfect to stimulate both your clit and G-spot at once.
- Thrusting Rabbit Vibrator – The dildo shaft of this vibrator has an amzing ability to thrust in and out of your vagina that imitates real life sexual experience for you.
- Suction Cup Rabbit Vibrator – Fix this vibrator to a smooth surface, where it remains attached due to the suction cup and you can enjoy a hands free sex.
- Rabbit Pearl Vibrator – This is the most popular of all the rabbit vibrators. Its vibrating shaft stimulates the vagina. Plus, the friction caused by the pearls multiplies the pleasure.
How to Use a Rabbit vibrator?
Before you begin to use a rabbit vibrator, insert the batteries into the vibrator and check the controls. Now, insert the phallus into the vagina slowly till the bunny ears rest against the clitoris. Switch on the button for the vibrator and adjust the speed, starting with the lowest speed. The phallus and the pearls (in case of Rabbit Pearl Vibrator) will rotate and create sensation inside your body till you reach the pinnacle of intense pleasure.
The speed can be increased or decreased for more or less stimulation. While the Phallus rotates, the bunny ears move to stimulate the clitoris, increasing the pleasure multifold.
Massaging the G-Spot
The G-spot, when massaged, creates intense pleasure waves in a woman. This erogenous area is ultra sensitive and when the phallus in the rabbit vibrator rotates, it reaches the G-spot too.
The rabbit vibrator has risen in popularity since its appearance in the TV show, Sex and the City. Women keen about sexual play consider this toy a necessary part of her pleasure tool kit, as it gives them the much desired sexual freedom. You can use it with your partner for more fun during sex or go solo with it. The variety of rabbit vibrators preferred by most women is the one with a curved phallus. It is known as a g-spot vibrator and is especially meant to find her G-spot and stimulate it.

Man, she loved programmable coffee makers - one of the only good things to come out of her two-year long relationship with her lousy ex.

**** This story is a continuation of "Friday Whore" **** She awoke on the Saturday, feeling that many of her muscles had been stretched and used, like having had a hard workout at the gym.
