Inviting Organization
With the ever-increasing trend toward multi-tasking and the advent of technology that makes everyone accessible 24/7, it's no surprise that there's a growing interest in the bathroom's role as a last refuge from the stresses of the world. At the same time, there's a need for bath spaces designed to feel clean and uncluttered, helping to further the sense of serenity so desired by today's homeowners.
"A need for calm and organization in our lives perpetuates the trend for minimalism, spa qualities and a feeling of tranquility," says Jeff Ptacek, CKD, product manager, StarMark/Fieldstone Cabinetry, in Sioux Falls, SD.
However, most consumers are unwilling to give up the wealth of products cluttering so many baths, which drives the need for vanities to offer copious functional storage.
As a result, when it comes to trends in vanities and bathroom cabinetry, manufacturers recently surveyed by Kitchen & Bath Design News are seeing a desire for clean lines, plenty of storage and a move toward furniture style vanities, particularly in the master bath.
"Specialty and dedicated storage are important," says Laurie Galbraith, design & training manager for HomeCrest Cabinetry, in Goshen, IN. "[More sophisticated] interior storage features for bath vanities are now being offered. The type of cabinets we have used for years in the kitchen – such as spice and condiment storage – are now showing up in the bath for toiletries, medications and all kinds of beauty and spa tools," she notes.
Becky Bertch, vice president, Bertch Cabinet Mfg., in Waterloo, IA, also sees many trends carrying over from kitchen cabinetry into the bath, including open shelving, darker finishes and contemporary styling.
Furniture Styling
Manufacturers also note high-quality, furniture-style vanities still top the wish list for many designers and homeowners.
"Furniture-style is still hot," says James Lin, president of Fairmont Designs, in Buena Park, CA. However, he notes quality here is key: "The companies making good quality, well-made products are sticking around – the lesser quality companies have disappeared."
"[The furniture-style vanity] is a trend that's here to stay," says Angela Scarbrough, senior director of marketing for Decolav, in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Rod Brewer, v.p./marketing and product development for Mid Continent Cabinetry, in Eagan, MN says, "The overall trend is cabinetry as furniture. Consumers don't want the look of boxy vanities with cultured marble tops."
"In many cases, the cabinetry has given way to plumbing fixtures in the sink area [such as pedestal sinks]. This is forcing the designer to be more creative with storage solutions. The need for storing toiletries is still there [so] the designer needs to use cabinetry in creative ways," he adds.
Furniture-style doesn't necessarily mean ornate design. "Today's vanity doesn't have to show Victorian styling to be rooted in concepts more commonly associated with furniture," says Chris Stookey, director of marketing & engineering for Huntwood Custom Cabinets, in Liberty Lake, WA. "The popular Asian design theme illustrates this nicely. Some designers have recognized the common ground Mission and Asian concepts share. We're seeing some fantastic bath themes mixing these two themes to stunning effect."
Steve Wilcox, director of marketing and product development at Sagehill Designs in Cerritos, CA adds, "From an aesthetic perspective, we are seeing the need for more furniture-like design and decorative finishes. Features like inset doors, select veneer treatments and hand-detailed finishes are important."
Sachin Sharma, account manager for Lacava, in Chicago, IL, has a different point of view. "Right now it seems as though furniture-style vanities are quickly fading," he says. "Although still popular for a master bath, the trend is slowly shifting toward a more contemporary style, especially in metropolitan areas such as apartments and condos."
Open and Shut
Everyone has something to hide. In the bathroom, items from medications to toiletries, small appliances to linens need storage. Yet, open shelving is catching on in some areas. Manufacturers are divided on whether open or closed storage solutions are hotter right now, and it seems a balance of the two may be the answer.
Bertch says she sees more demand for open storage, even in medicine cabinets. "There has definitely been a shift from functional medicine cabinets to simplified framed mirrors," she says.
Ptacek notes, "Internal organization is in big demand. However, if a majority of the clutter is concealed with smart organizational tools, then open storage can lend a feeling of spaciousness and help people feel they have life under control."
While Galbraith says that many items need to be behind closed doors, others can be effectively stored in open shelving.
"Here you will find family photos, entertainment items like small coffee bars and audio/visual systems, too," she says.
Other manufacturers see a greater call for closed storage. "Closed cabinets are definitely more in demand as concealing things – in an organized way – is key," says Jan Hedrick, ASID, director, Habersham Home Projects, Habersham, in Toccoa, GA.
"Closed cabinets are definitely in higher demand," says Scarbrough. "While the open storage is nice and is still being used in a powder room setting, master baths need the storage to hide the everyday essentials that everyone has in their bathrooms now."
Unique Finishes
With a wide variety of finishes and materials available in the market, trends in this area are diverse, depending on style, region and personal taste. Manufacturers agree more distinct treatments are rising in demand, from textured materials to patterned glass.
"For vanities and cabinets, the materials and finishes continue to be predominantly wood and metal," says Hedrick. "The area where I'm seeing change is in the top surfaces, with concrete being used more and more – especially in contemporary bath environments." She also sees more demand for Fireslate, a combination of cement, sand and recycled paper. "It's new, cutting edge and growing in popularity," she says.
"Contrasting materials are well received and introduce an interesting textural dynamic to modern bath design. Painted finishes are very popular with our vanity products. Closed-grain woods follow this suit and provide a nice substrate for painted and solid-tone finishes. We've also noticed a significant increase in stones and metals, such as aluminum," Stookey says.
Scarbrough acknowledges countertops will always be found in more traditional surfaces like stone and marble, but adds, "Now more creative countertop materials are being used such as tempered glass, stainless steel and solid surface. We even introduced our own terrazzo-type countertop made with recycled glass to give an additional shimmer."
"Textural elements and other features that give the consumer design options are important," says Wilcox. "We offer interchangeable door panels on some of our cabinets, allowing the consumer to decide between an open look, a glass insert panel or a veneered wood panel for a variety of options."
Nieman finds a connection to nature in the colors being used today. "Colors that remind us of water or plant life are being used. Exotic wood species are being requested due to [an] increased awareness through the world market. Species that evoke a feeling of nature or demonstrate eco-responsibility are especially desirous."
"Darker finishes tend to be more popular right now because they provide a perfect complement to polished chrome or brushed nickel fixtures. Currently demands are high for stone countertops (marble), which come with integrated or undermount bowl options. Wood finished countertops are also very popular and come with a number of protective sealers to prevent water damage," agrees Sharma.
Bertch says, "Most recently we've seen greys and blues merging back into the color palette, silver glazing on dark finishes, where it was mostly warmer tones previously."
Distinct Spaces
Since the purpose of a powder room differs from the master bath, it makes sense that the vanity trends vary here as well. "In the powder room, homeowners are looking for unique, unusual designs that could be conversation pieces. This area is more decorative, so they're not spending as much on fixtures and functionality," says Hedrick.
In the master bath, by contrast, she sees demand for vanities with dressing tables. "You can never have enough storage in the master bath. So, designers and their clients are looking for ample storage to fit the space, and most importantly, conceal things in an organized way."
"The trends are always going to be different from the master bath to the powder room. A master bath is meant to create a spa-like atmosphere where people can come to relax or unwind," agrees Scarbrough. "The powder room is where people are going to take more of a chance with color and style. They are willing to make this bathroom more of a reflection of their personal style, since it is the room their guests use. This is where you will see homeowners using patterned glass countertops or sinks."
Sharma sees trends for the master bath leaning toward larger vanities with plenty of storage. "The master bath is typically the main bathroom, used exclusively by the homeowner, whereas the powder room is much smaller and is probably the most viewed room in the house by guests," he says. "Therefore, homeowners design their powder rooms with more eye-popping fixtures, [and are] willing to spend more, and go for more wall-mounted sinks with some type of a pedestal or towel bar accessory.
Galbraith says, "A powder room can be more theme-oriented. It can even have some 'wow' factors that would prove impractical in a full bath. Less closed storage is required."
"While both powder room and master baths favor dark finishes, and storage – the main difference is in sizing," states Lin.
"For obvious reasons, people want smaller units for a powder room, but people are also looking for style, something a bit edgier than for the master bath."
Simple Style
Most manufacturers say the current trend is toward simple, clean lines, though there is always some demand for detailed and ornate designs, depending on the overall style the designer and consumers have chosen.
"The baths are following the theme of the rest of the house stylistically. Traditional and country [cottage] designs are still the most popular, but are updated by using cleaner lines and simpler design elements," Brewer says.
"For more contemporary environments, simple lines seem to lead," says Hedrick. "For more traditional looks, more is better in terms of details, refinement, bringing in antiques and other additional elements."
"Simple lines are definitely still the trend," asserts Scarbrough. "Clean and green seem to be the buzzwords of 2008. You can keep clean lines and have detail in the designs like the mod-inspired wavy vanity Decolav showed at this year's Kitchen & Bath Industry Show."
Though Stookey agrees simpler lines are the current trend, he adds, "We are seeing an increased complexity as it relates to colors, finishes and materials. There is a fascinating degree of creativity being utilized to mix and match different materials within a single project."
When extra moldings or decorative elements are used, they play an essential role in the story of the design, says Lynanne Neiman, CMG, chairholder, Color Marketing Group and print production manager, StarMark/Fieldstone Cabinetry in Sioux Falls, SD. "If an element can be eliminated, it will be. However, there is demand for door designs that offer unique detailing and give the overall room design a personalized statement."
Wilcox says they see a strong move toward "casual contemporary" and "casual traditional" styles. "Casual contemporary designs are cabinets with cleaner lines, but mellowed by a slightly distressed finish and with less overall sheen. The 'casual traditional' cabinets have a design familiar to the traditional marketplace, but have been updated with a softer finish and casual hardware accents. They all have a familiarity about them, but with an updated twist high-end consumers find attractive."
Customization & Green Trends
Two topics invariably arise when discussing trends in any facet of bath design – customization and eco-consciousness. Bath vanities are no exception. In fact, manufacturers say both issues are having a powerful impact on current trends.
"Customization plays a huge role in vanities today. It's a strong, growing trend, especially with vanity interiors. From a special hole to hold a hair dryer to drawers sized to fit tall bottles and more, it's all about keeping things organized. We're seeing the 'appliance garage' kitchen trend growing in the bath area as well. This 'garage,' where a door can flip up or out to conceal various appliances, is appealing to those looking to hide and store items like electric toothbrushes, hot rollers, electric razors and the like," says Hedrick.
Brewer feels the ability to customize traditional cabinet types is essential. "To create these furniture-type looks, the design needs the ability to specify unique cabinet types," he remarks.
Customization also helps manufacturers remain competitive. Wilcox says, "We think it is important for the dealer to say 'Yes' to a customer rather than 'No' regarding any request within reason. Sagehill Designs offers its dealers a flexible custom order program providing them with the ability to order any of our products in custom configurations, size and finish. Being flexible as a manufacturer allows our dealers to secure as many sales as possible in today's competitive environment."
Neiman adds, "Fulfilling the need to personalize, or place your own stamp on a room, as well as the need to create a healing, soothing space, requires customization. What calms and soothes one individual can drive another over the edge. Including both technology and indulgences into a bathroom requires designers to be creative thinkers, especially since the bathroom is usually one of the smaller spaces in the home."
Some manufacturers feel customization is the impetus for new trends. "I think customization plays a major role in vanity trends because it allows a designer to enhance an existing product or even create an entirely new product for the industry. Customization is key for sparking the latest trends," says Sharma.
"Typically, trends are initiated within the more affluent sectors of the market and eventually become 'reachable' for more of the buying populace as large-scale manufacturing," agrees Stookey.
As for green design, "It's no longer 'cool' to be green – rather, green is a fact of life, and this new attitude means a respect for nature that has migrated into design and color for all aspects of living," Neiman adds.
Stookey also emphasizes the importance of the green movement in design. "There is a raised awareness of green design within specific circles of the market," he says. "We expect awareness to increase as the buying public obtains a better understanding of the long-term benefits provided through green design. We see this as an important and progressive step toward the future of our industry."

Got some great news for those of you who enjoy attending the Dive-ins.
Thanks to the cooperation of St Albans Sub Aqua Club (http://www.sasac.co.uk/), our gracious hosts, the 2011 Summer Dive-in, which will be the third Summer event, will take place for a WHOLE weekend on Saturday and Sunday 11th and 12th June 2011, from 10am until 4pm both days. That's a full 12 hours of crystal clear water to sail your sub in, with the addition of a licensed bar and clubhouse.
Those of you who have attended previous events at this venue, know what a nice facility it is. For those who have yet to attend a Summer Dive-in, the St Albans venue is equipped with a 100ftx60ft swimming pool with a 9ft deep end, and we get exclusive use. That's large enough for all but the biggest of boats, but to give you an idea at the last event, two engel typhoons were happily simultaneously swimming around the pool.
This pool is filled during the Summer months where the sub aqua club use it for training, suit testing and social events. It has minimal chlorine content, and as our event is near the start of Summer, the water is as clear as gin.
There is usually a tame scuba diver on hand to recover any boats that run into trouble.
For those who may be coming some distance, you may wish to stay locally overnight. St Albans is a very nice place to stay, very historic, with beautiful parkland and excellent shopping facilities.
It is quick and simple to travel in to the heart of London via rail, and is close to two motorways (M1 and M25) so is easy to reach by car.
Here is the location on Google Maps-
http://www.google.co.uk/maps/place?cid= ... tfordshire
You can read more about St Albans itself on wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Albans
I appreciate advance payment where possible, as it makes life simpler for me on the day and allows me to budget. I can receive payment via personal cheque, or Paypal, but please don't send cash, as this can easily get lost in the post and also makes refunds difficult.
If you want any more details, or I have missed something out, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Please make a note of our website http://www.diveintomodelsubmarines.co.uk which shows videos and pictures from past events, and also our facebook page, which is open to anyone which has similar content and also allows feedback from those who attend http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133360626703083
I hope to see you there in 2011, but in the meantime if you don't hear from me before, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and look forward to a great 2011 for our hobby.

Genode is popular? So, uh, who uses it?
Phoronix: Genode OS 12.05 Brings Interesting New Features
Genode OS, the popular open-source framework OS, released version 12.05 and it includes several new features like a brand new USB stack, support for the GCC tool-chain, and improved media support...
Genode is popular? So, uh, who uses it?
Admittedly, being involved with the project, I was also a bit (positively) surprised by this statement.
We compile and run Genode on x86_64 (using both the Linux kernel and the Fiasco.OC kernel) on a daily basis. So you might give it another try? If you run into problems, I'd pleased to hear from you via our issue tracker (on GitHub) or the project's mailing list.
What I meant is that Fiasco.OC 64-bit compiles without errors as does the Genode framework but the 64-bit Linux kernel, to use in the Genode framework for running Linux programs (the one patched for Genode/Fiasco.OC) doesn't compile. It works if you configure the kernel 32-bit but not 64-bit. At least last time I tried it which was like 3 months ago. On the mailing list, I didn't ask but somone else asked and was told that 64-bit Linux kernel wasn't working yet. That was like 3 months ago.
Last edited by linux5850; 06-01-2012 at 05:05 AM.
Thanks for the clarification. This limitation still persists. But it is actually a limitation the L4Linux kernel rather than Genode. L4Linux is a project conducted independently of Genode. It is developed by the OS group at TU Dresden. We adapted this work so that the L4Linux kernel can be integrated with Genode. But our version ultimately inherits the limitations of the upstream project.
One thing you might consider doing to get people interested in Genode is to compose a list of software that will compile natively in the Genode environment, e.g. Firefox, QtDesigner, VLC media player, etc...
That way more people will start trying it. Most people care most about being able to play their videos/music and web browsing (preferably Firefox). If Genode can accommodate at least that natively then I think many more people will get involved.
You are certainly right. But those applications aren't there yet. I think that the most sensible intermediate step from the perspective of the Genode developers is to use the system for pursuing their development work. Therefore, native support for Unix software is deemed most important at this point. This is why the current development is focused on enabling these tools rather than typical end-user applications.
That said, please keep in mind that even though the developers aspire to use the system as general-purpose OS, the primary point of the framework is the creation of special-purpose operating systems. In this domain, the number of ready-to-use components and libraries is of most interest. The components readily available as of now are listed at http://genode.org/documentation/components

The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday the U.S. House health-care system re-write has penalties imposed on individuals who did not purchase insurance, and employers who did not offer coverage to their workers, that would raise $161 billion. WE THE PEOPLE would pay the government $161,000,000,000.00 in just PENALTIES. IT'S JUST A 'TAX & SPEND' POWER SCAM.
You are exactly right! On election 2010 lets vote against all of the encumbents, no matter what party they are in. Our representatives and senators have been sitting in Washington for too long cozying up to the lobbyists and allowing the perception of absolute power to corrupt them.

The bill will add a huge new section to the federal tax code: PART VIII: HEALTH CARE RELATED TAXES. The only reason the Democrats wanted to fastrack this bill was because they didn't want people to have time to read the text stating that we would be paying for it for 4 years before we got any benefits from it. This would allow congress to shrink their budget deficit before the end of Pres. Obama's term. Here's a thought – Stop spending money on pointless pet projects. If you want to spend money to stimulate the economy, do it on infrastructure repairs and upgrades and allow private contractors to compete for the jobs. If they took all the TARP funds and had invested it in road resurfacing and expansion they could have added hundreds of thousands of jobs, albeit temporary, to the economy. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
yes and no, the text of the bill has been continously changing. The point of the 72hrs before final vote is to allow for citizens to read the full final text of the bill before it is voted on. i.e. the text that Bob Snuffy read back in October isnt necessarily going to be the same as the one that was passed last Saturday.
To the Democrats & Republicans in Congress who don't quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I and a lot of other people have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the majority of the American people want but without any type of public option attached. That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election. We do not want the "Public Option (single payer of any kind)"…..period! Rest assured, we are all watching how you vote now and in the future.
The Obama administration, as inexperienced as they are, are also holding back some of the TARP funds (which aren't doing any good anyway) so that they can use some of the money to get the "Blue Dogs" on board with this healthcare bill and buy their votes with pork barrel project money to their districts and state(s). Simple extortion to say the least! My friends, we are now on our way to Socialism and the elimination of the Free Market System, better known as Capitalism. Sad, very sad!
Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, one of the committees of jurisdiction over health care, spoke with HUMAN EVENTS to go over a few particulars on the bill his press release dubbed, "Second verse, same as the first."
"It's still a massive government takeover of our health care system with tax increases on middle class Americans that will affect their ability to buy health care," Camp said. "The government plan will force them out of private health care. The Medicare cuts are going to make health care less available to seniors. Fewer physicians will see Medicare patients and fewer hospitals will treat Medicare patients."
One of the most important elements that remains in the bill is the end to private insurance.
"Because of the government-run plan, in five years you're going to see millions of people lose the health care coverage they have now and be forced into a government-run plan," Camp said.Obama's failure to act on a Clear and Present Danger.
Deadliest week so far for children and swine flu in USA
ATLANTA – Swine flu has caused at least 19 more children's deaths — the largest one-week increase since the pandemic started in April, health officials said Friday.
At least 114 children have died from swine flu complications since the spring, up from 95 reported a week earlier, according to the CDC.
Millions have been sickened since April. Swine flu is more widespread now than it's ever been, with 48 states now reporting widespread flu activity. The only states without widespread flu are Hawaii and South Carolina
Also expect more, a second wave of swine flu leaves 24 in London fighting for life.
There are 751 people in hospital across Britain with the virus, of which 157 – or 20 per cent – are in intensive care. It will take up to three weeks before all 1,700 GP practices can start vaccinating.
DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT FOR HEALTH CARE.Moderated Comment
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) health care plan presumes that about 8-to-14-million American workers will pay fines rather than buy health insurance. Unless they do, there's a $167-billion hole in her financing plan and everything falls apart.
Like the rest of us, this group would face higher-than-ever insurance prices under Pelosi's proposed bill.
Speaker Pelosi, President Obama and others claim they will make coverage cheaper, yet the official projection relies upon millions who would prefer to pay fines rather than join their system. In some cases the individuals would pay the penalty; in others their employers would pay; and sometimes both.
The estimate of 8-to-14 million who would be fined is based on the official projections made by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
lucasfoxx- When liberals have no facts they attack the messenger and try to change the facts and then topic. The topic is still HR 3962. The facts are that HR 3962 is unpopular and a costly power grab by the Democrat President and the Congress. The facts are HR 3962 will be found un-constitutional by the high court. I can help you in your effort to find the facts if you can stay on topic. Your personal attacks are meaningless to the debate. DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT WITH YOUR HEALTH CARE. JUST-SAY-NO TO HR-3962
The topic has always been HR3962. You've been unable to stick to facts and have resorted to personal attacks.
What right is it of yours for you to attack people who have legitimate concerns with government spending? Just because the Obama Administration says that the Tea Party Rallies are a small fraction citizens who are "Just wrong" (His words, not mine) doesn't mean that he speaks the truth. Are you foolish enough to believe the words of a self serving, self righteous and selfish politician that doesn't really care about anything you think? Are you so delusional to think that you should go out and buy a boat when you can't even pay the electrical bills? Because that is exactly what is going on here. The Government (Obama), in his infinite wisdom, this that we should spend WAY more money when we are so far in debt that we can barely keep our heads above water! Think logically, do you go and buy something JUST because you want it but you can't afford it?!? NO!
One last thing, you could at least use your words in proper context. Belligerence doesn't even come close to describing bkrueg. How about calm, collected, polite, adamant? Those are all proper words. The only person who is belligerent here is you. I realize that only a few of us were taught by our parents to be respectful of others, you were definitely not one of them. Be respectful or don't comment at all.
The ole, "I've been here longer than you bit". Typical troll talk. Next I suppose your going to tell me that your dad can beat up mine?
I may have only been registered for 6 days, that doesnt mean that I havent been on the website that long. Infact, I've been on long enough to know that you spew words from your fingers and make assumptions when you dont take the time to check facts. Case and point: your comments on SJR1 relating to term limits. Do yourself a favor and just be quite.

First Ducted-Fan Micro Air Vehicles deployed in Iraq
Article Summary
June 18, 2007 Honeywell's Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) is being deployed in Iraq specifically to identify improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from the sky. The deployment marks the first time a ducted-fan unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) will be used during combat missions. Each MAV is small enough to carry in a backpack and is equipped with video cameras that relay information back to foot soldiers using a portable handheld terminal. The circular vehicle, just 16 pounds and 13 inches in diameter, operates like a small remote-controlled helicopter and can easily fly down to inspect hazardous areas for threats without exposing soldiers to enemy fire.

DIY Home Theater Gets Pro Makeover
A do-it-yourself theater gets a much-needed overhaul, including Klipsch speakers and a JVC projector.
When Matt Bridges, owner of custom electronics firm Avista in West Columbia, S.C., was called in to revamp a do-it-yourself theater that had been installed by the former owner of this home, he had no idea what he was getting into. "It was an awful sight. The screen wall had two windows covered, literally, with construction paper. The previous owner had built a fake wall on top of the sheetrock and attached a snap screen to it with duct tape," says Bridges. The speakers were sitting on top of a homemade built-in cabinet constructed from lumber from the former owner's timber business. To make matters worse, the projector was hanging down from a huge telescopic pole nearly 5 feet from the ceiling—obtrusive, to say the least.
To fix the design, Bridges armed the new homeowners with magazines and books to use as inspiration, then called in interior designer Ashley Petty Interiors and carpenter Chris Truett to help nail down the details. Truett designed custom cabinets along the screen wall to box in the windows and provide storage. Meanwhile, Avista designed custom acoustic panels using the same fabric chosen for the window coverings.
The best home theater system is the one you plan with help from the experts. Get premium advice for FREE in our expert guide, Planning the Best Home Theater System: Choosing the Best Home Theater Projector, Best Home Theater Speakers, Best Home Theater Receiver, Best Home Theater Screens & More.
These design details all contribute to the professional look of the theater, but it's the dramatic carpet, handpicked by the designer, that takes your eye right to the screen wall and gorgeous faux-finished cabinetry. Despite an almost complete aesthetic overhaul, there were some constructs of the room that were worth saving, such as the seating risers.
From an equipment standpoint, however, the room had to be totally redone. After some initial discussions, Bridges ascertained that the homeowner—despite his extensive experience with high-end equipment— wanted to scale back a bit to create a solid system that wasn't over-the-top.
To meet the challenge, Avista chose a JVC projector to achieve a spectacular image, and Marantz separates to give the THX Ultra II Plus Klipsch speakers and subwoofers ample power and clarity. Avista even closed in an opening in the rear wall to house a TV that would share the theater's video with the homeowner's game room area. A URC MX-6000 talks to an MSC-400 processor to control the entire system.
Whether the homeowners' young children are relaxing on beanbags and playing PlayStation or the family is enjoying movie night, the end result is that they are all very pleased with the sound and the video—not to mention the interior design—of their new and dramatically improved home theater.

After staring at fabrics for too long trying to decide what pattern to make my baby a quilt with…I went with classic hourglass blocks. There are probably loads of good tutorials for these blocks already, but since these are one of my favorites I wrote one up for this quilt:
Baby Hourglass Quilt: Quilt size: 32" x 41" , Block size (unfinished): 5" x 5"
You'll need:
32 print 6" x 6" squares, and 32 white 6" x 6" squares (approx. 1 yard cut into 5 strips 6" x the fabric width, then subcut 7 squares from each strip). For this particular quilt I used about 8 different print fabrics, and cut 4 squares from each fabric.
1. Draw a diagonal line in pencil from corner to corner on the wrong side of each white square. I know…I hate this part too….if it helps this is how I line up my squares then I draw lines on multiple squares at one time:
2. Pin a print square and a white square right sides together with the pencil line facing up. Sew 1/4" from the line on each side ( I usually don't pin these squares…but you should…I'm just lazy). Continue until all of the 32 print and white squares have been sewn together.
To make this process faster you can chain piece all of the squares. Sew on one side of the line on all of the squares, then without cutting the threads in between the blocks put them back through the machine and sew down the other side. Then when you're all finished clip both threads in between each block.
3. Place a square on the cutting mat, and cut down the pencil line from corner to corner. DO NOT MOVE THE PIECES YET! ( I pulled mine apart a little just so you can see the cut)
4. Cut another diagonal line from the other corner to corner on the same square.
5. Press the triangles towards the print fabrics. You should be able to lay out 2 hourglass blocks from this one cut square:
6. Match and pin the center seams, then sew the pieces together to make 2 hourglass blocks. Press seam to either side or open.
7. Now for the fun part (not really) squaring up the blocks to 5" x 5". Everyone has their own method of squaring…this is how I do mine:
Align the diagonal lines of my block with the diagonal lines on my cutting mat…
Measure from the center 2 1/2" out on one side, and trim off the excess. Do the same on the top or bottom, then you can align the edges along the grid lines and trim the remaining edges to make a 5" block. If your mat doesn't have these handy grid lines you'll have to find another way, but simply measuring 2 1/2" out from the center on each side should be fine. You can even cut more than one at a time if you're not a perfectionist.
8. Lay the blocks out in 9 rows of 7 blocks each, rotating every other block. Sew the blocks into rows, and press the seams towards the print fabrics (that part is important so you're seams will match up nice and tidy when sewing the rows together). Pin and sew the rows together to finish the quilt top.
Apparently it's 5 year old boy torture to make him hold up a pink quilt…heaven forbid…you should have heard the grumbling.
*To make hourglass blocks in any size… cut your starting squares 1" larger than you'd like the (un) finished squares to be.
* The fabrics in this quilt are Daisy Cottage by Bee in my Bonnet Designs for Riley Blake (here, here, here, here, and here), and the bright pink small floral and polka dot are Children at Play by Sarah Jane for Michael Miller.

Giant Cell Tumor
What is a giant cell tumor?
A giant cell tumor is one that is made up of a large number of benign (non-cancerous) cells that form an aggressive tumor - usually near the end of the bone near a joint. The location of a giant cell tumor is often in the knee, but can also involve the bones of the arms and the legs, or the flat bones such as the sternum (breastbone) or pelvis.
Giant cell tumors most often occur when skeletal bone growth is complete. Most occur in the long bones of the legs and arms.
What causes giant cell tumors?
While the exact cause of giant cell tumors remains unknown, in some cases, they have been linked to Paget's disease. Paget's disease of the bone is a chronic bone disorder in which bones become enlarged and deformed.
What are the symptoms of a giant cell tumor?
The following are the most common symptoms of a giant cell tumor. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
- pain at the adjacent joint
- a visible mass
- swelling
- bone fracture
- limited movement in the adjacent joint
- fluid accumulation in the joint adjacent to the affected bone
The symptoms of a giant cell tumor may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is a giant cell tumor diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for giant cell tumors may include the following:
- x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
- radionuclide bone scans - a nuclear imaging method to evaluate any degenerative and/or arthritic changes in the joints; to detect bone diseases and tumors; to determine the cause of bone pain or inflammation. This test is to rule out any infection or fractures.
- biopsy - a procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope; to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
Treatment for a giant cell tumor:
Specific treatment for giant cell tumors will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
The goal for treatment of a giant cell tumor is to remove the tumor and prevent damage to the affected bone. Treatment may include:
- surgery (to remove the tumor and any damaged bone)
- bone grafting - a surgical procedure in which healthy bone is transplanted from another part of the patient's body into the affected area.
- bone reconstruction
- amputation (may be required in severe cases)
- physical therapy (to regain strength and mobility to the affected area)
Giant cell tumors can recur. Follow-up with a physician may be required for several years.

Les Paul - 2008
Extraordinary musician and inventor Les Paul is the honoree for the 13th Annual American Music Masters® series. Les Paul performed with the "Les Paul Trio" during the tribute concert. As a player, inventor and recording artist, Les Paul has been an innovator from the early years of his life. Born Lester William Polfus in 1915 in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the first instrument he learned to play was actually the harmonica at age eight. After brief experimentation with the piano, Paul picked up the guitar, not knowing he would one day shape the sound of songs composed by countless musicians around the world. Because of his pioneering work, Paul is often called the "Father of the Electric Guitar." The Les Paul guitar has become a staple instrument among discerning rock guitarists. This list of musicians associated with the Gibson Les Paul includes Duane Allman, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page. Tribute Concert Performers: Les Paul, James Burton, Duane Eddy, Billy Gibbons, The Ventures, Jennifer Batten, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Eric Carmen, Dennis Coffey, Lenny Kaye, Steve Lukather, Barbara Lynn, Lonnie Mack, Katy Moffat, Alannah Myles, Richie Sambora and Slash

Fuck dude, we got Creepy to try to record some of our shit, it turned into a two week gong show.
από The Gargler
20 Μάρτιος 2004
the term gong show is widely used in the hockey locker rooms across canada. it has become the nickname of many out-of-control young men. while mainly used by hockey players, the common person may use it in everyday conversation. to be a gong show, one must be able to pull the chute, as well as be crazy, stupid, loud, obnoxious, annoying, out of control, confused, a frequent streaker, terribly unlucky, inept, a drunk, a lazy ass, or any combination of all of these
spence is a definite gongshow. tonight, at dinner before the game, he choked on a piece of chicken, coughed it up into his nasal cavity, blew it out his nose, and ate it again. in the game he got in a fight, broke a guys leg, and scored a goal. afterward, he put on his pink sunglasses and hopped in the shower with the team, then ran naked through the rink giggling like a little girl.

A gongshow is another way of saying "crazy experience" or "crazy event" which involves crazy people. Stupid events lead to funny memories - and usually route to gongshows

One who does exceedingly stupid or irrational things, usually but not necessarily while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The word is believed to have originated as a spin-off of the 1976 ABC sitcom 'The Gong Show' where participants would perform until the judges deemed their performance too awful to continue. Note: gong show is commonly abbreviated to 'gong'. The act of calling somone a gong show is often accompanied by two of his buddies bashing an immaginary gong.
Wow, he's got vodka taped to his balls, what a gong show!
Tribe, your a fuckin gong show!
He just slid head 1st into a giant mud puddle 10 minutes before his philosophy exam, what a gong.

NCAA Tournament Upset Picks
2014 NCAA Basketball Archives
2014 NCAA Basketball SimMatchup
Create Your Own NCAA Dream Team
The Dance goes on for 16 teams, while the rest of the field has been sent packing. Those odds are roughly the same as participants still alive in their office pools, as most brackets have more red ink than a failed school assignment. However, unlike the 52 teams that have been beaten, the public gets another shot at bracket greatness. Thanks to FOXSports.com's Second Chance Bracket Challenge, we prognosticators can take a stab at filling out the tournament field from the Sweet 16 onward. Perfection remains within our grasp!
Our 2014 NCAA Tournament Predictions have been updated with the revised field, as our simulation engine "played" the remainder of the tournament 1,001 times to determine the new favorites to advance. If the engine's insights aren't enough, we offer a preview of the Sweet 16 below.
South Region
As boring as it felt penciling Florida in as your Final Four representative from the South Region, those odds are looking pretty good. However, the No. 4-seed UCLA Bruins won both tournament games by 17 points and are now riding a five-game winning streak. Among that stretch lay victims Stanford and Arizona from the Pac-12 tourney. The only common opponent between the Gators' and Bruins' schedule is Alabama. Florida was victorious twice against the Crimson Tide (68-62 and 78-69) and UCLA won by eight points back in late-December (75-67). UCLA averages 10 more points-per-game than Florida and also posts higher averages in rebounds, assists and field goal percentage per game. Then again, the Bruins did lose to a 10-win Washington State squad by 18 points a few weeks ago.
As for the mess on the bottom portion of the region, Dayton eked out wins over the Buckeyes and Syracuse and now face a fellow underdog in Stanford. The Cardinal also won two close games in the March Madness bracket. In the second round, Stanford defeated New Mexico and then won a nail-biter against the Joel Embiid-less Jayhawks. In the Sweet 16, this game has all the makings of a buzzer-beater classic. Either way, there will be a double-digit seed in the Elite Eight with its eyes on Arlington (Dallas), Texas.
East Region
The Connecticut Huskies aren't gaining much of a following in Philadelphia. After downing St. Joseph's in a second-round overtime win, the Huskies knocked another Philly school, the Villanova Wildcats, out of the Dance. With the No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 seeds advancing to the Sweet 16 in the East Region, the No. 7 Huskies appear to be the odd man out. However, their next opponent, Iowa State, is suddenly vulnerable due to an injury to sophomore forward Georges Niang. In the Cyclones' second-round win over North Carolina Central, Niang posted 24 points, six rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes before suffering a broken bone in his right foot. Similar misfortune struck Iowa State's third-round opponent, as North Carolina forward and double-digit scorer Brice Johnson was limited to just two minutes against the Cyclones due to a sprained ankle. The injury negated the Tar Heels' advantage down low in Iowa State's 85-83 victory.
Despite Niang's injury, the Huskies don't necessarily spell the end for Iowa State, as UConn may not possess the size to exploit his absence. In fact, 6'4" Cyclones point guard DeAndre Kane may tilt the height advantage in favor of Iowa State, as he'll match up against diminutive UConn guards Ryan Boatright (6'0", 168 lbs.) and Shabazz Napier (6'1", 180 lbs.).
No. 1 seed Virginia's 2013-14 campaign has been built on defense, and that's continued into the postseason. The Cavaliers held Coastal Carolina and Memphis to 59 and 60 points, respectively. Now the stakes are raised though, as Michigan State awaits in the Sweet 16. Virginia has played just one game against a Big Ten team this season, resulting in a 48-38 loss to Wisconsin in Charlottesville. (Yes, that is a basketball score.) While the Virginia D will no doubt show up, the Cavaliers will need some competence on offense to stay with the higher-scoring Spartans.
Michigan State leaned on Adreian Payne's career-high 41 points in its win over Delaware, and then enjoyed a 26-point performance from Branden Dawson two nights later against Harvard. Virginia no doubt has the horses to slow Michigan State, but the Spartans may have too much talent to be stopped.

West Region
The West Region left a chalky aftertaste with the exception of the nation's most notable father-son tandem bowing out. The Creighton Bluejays exited stage right with understudy Baylor beating them down by 30 to star in the Sweet 16. Doug McDermott and the hot-shooting Bluejays weren't able to crack Baylor's zone and superior size.
Next up for Baylor is Wisconsin. Though the Badgers have the better seed, it's anyone's game to win. Wisconsin has suffered through slow starts in its first two tournament games, trailing 17-10 midway through the first half against American and down 12 at halftime against Oregon. A similar start against Baylor may prove insurmountable.
No. 1 seed Arizona looked the part in a dismantling of Gonzaga that should have renewed any wavering faith in the Wildcats following their shaky win over Weber State. Super frosh Aaron Gordon is averaging 17 points on 71.4 percent shooting in the tournament. The scoring column hasn't been his only mark on the stat sheet though as he's added 14 boards, nine assists, five blocks and four steals.
The Wildcats are familiar with their next opponent, having beaten San Diego State in November in the Aztecs' home gym. Arizona's Nick Johnson outplayed San Diego State's Xavier Thames in the last go-around as Johnson scored 23 points on 8-15 shooting and limited Thames to 19 points on 5-16 shooting. Expect more of the same in the rematch as Arizona proves too much for the Aztecs to handle.
Midwest Region
The first No. 1 seed has fallen. Wichita State lasted an impressive 35-straight games before its first and only loss to Kentucky. The Shockers weren't the only team in the region to stumble earlier than expected. Coach K's Blue Devils couldn't even win one tournament game this year, as they were upset, yet again, by a member of the Atlantic Sun conference. Mercer won 26 games before the brackets were released, but were placed in the loaded Midwest. For the third-year-in-a-row, the Atlantic Sun provided chaos (Florida Gulf Coast in 2013, Lehigh in 2012). However, the fun ended abruptly when Tennessee dropped 83 points in a 20-point drumming of the Bears.
Louisville survived a scare against a Rick Pitino's pupil Steve Masiello and then ousted St. Louis in the Round of 32. Now, the Cardinals face in-state rival Kentucky for the right to go to the Elite Eight. Earlier in the year, the Wildcats won 73-66 over Louisville in Rupp Arena. Kentucky's Harrison twins scored 28 points combined in that contest. Against the Shockers, Aaron and Andrew scored 39.
The highest remaining seed in the Midwest, Michigan, did not mess around over the first weekend. The Wolverines rolled passed Wofford and Texas with little-to-no trouble. If Coach Beilein's boys can outlast the Volunteers, it will be interesting to see if they draw the defending champs in a rematch of the 2013 NCAA Finals or they could get the 2012 NCAA champion, Kentucky. Just don't look for the Volunteers 17-point average margin of victory in tournament - to give the game away Friday night in Indianapolis.
