The Bathing/Showering Center
While the basic activity of the bathing/showering center is cleansing the body, there is a wide range of associated activities that take place in this area.
The bathtub, shower and tub/shower combination are the main fixtures, all of which have their own related planning considerations. The following recommendations are excerpted from the book "Bath Planning," part of the NKBA Professional Resource Library.
Bathing center
Bathtubs come in several sizes. The size of a traditional standard tub or tub/shower combination is 32-in. by 60-in. This size will fit in most full bathrooms. However, it does not necessarily meet the needs of the user, so it is important to discuss tub size with the person(s) who will be bathing.
A tub bath may be taken by simply sitting in the tub. Knees might be outstretched or bent at an angle, but the back is generally perpendicular to the bottom of the tub. Leaning back and relaxing in the tub requires an angled contour to support the user's back. The appropriate length of the tub should be determined by the leg length of the user. A short woman might slide under the water if her feet do not reach the end of the tub. A tall woman may never be able to lean back and relax without her bent knees raised out of the water.
Longer and shorter tubs are available, and tubs come in different depths that might make the bath more comfortable. Smaller square tubs might also be appropriate for shorter people. If there are multiple users at different times, a compromise in tub size will be needed.
Two people may want to use the tub at the same time. Longer and wider tubs are available for this purpose. Sitting side-by-side requires a 42-in.-wide tub. Sitting opposite requires a 36-in.-wide tub. Often these will be jetted tubs, used sporadically. Soaking tubs which are often deeper, may not be jetted.
Floor clearance
Wherever the tub is placed, it is recommended that at least a 30-in. clear space be planned along the side of it. If dressing occurs in front of the tub, more space is needed. A 42-in. to 48-in. dressing circle will allow room to dry off and put on undergarments.
Building codes allow a minimum of 21 inches in front of the tub, but this will be tight for many users. If a parent is helping bathe children, or a caregiver is assisting someone with a bath, extra floor space will be needed to accommodate them as well as the user.
When planning for a free-standing tub, consider which side(s) of the tub will be used for entering, exiting and passage, and allow the proper clearances.
Grab bars
Grab bars placed in the tub will give users something to hold onto as they enter and exit, thus alleviating some balance problems. The NKBA recommends grab bars at the tub and shower to assist with this transfer. There are many decorative and attractive grab bars available to match other trim and accessories in the bathroom. It is critical that they be installed so they support at least 250 lbs. Some clients may need more support.
The wall behind the tub and shower should be reinforced to support the grab bar. The placement of the bar should be planned where it best fits the user.
Besides rails placed at the back and ends of the tub, a vertical bar at the front, and one on the back wall at a diagonal, are often helpful. Standard towel bars and soap dishes will not support someone in a fall and can be dangerous, since they protrude.
No steps
Tubs are most safely used if their floor is level with the bathroom floor, and the deck or top of the tub is approximately seat height (plus or minus 18 inches). Even one step into the tub creates a situation that can challenge balance and, therefore, is not recommended.
A tub sunk into the floor is even worse since it creates a situation where the user will step down from the floor level to the tub level. Or the person will need to sit on the floor to get into the tub, which is difficult for many. The sunken tub may also create a hazard if one were to trip and fall into it.
A tub placed on a high platform can require several steps to get up to, creating the same problem as the sunken tub. When users reach the top of the steps, they have to step down onto the bottom of the tub, more than 15 inches below them.
Even though it is clear that steps can cause a hazard, a client may insist on them. If you have to compromise, try to design so the step is strictly decorative and not actually used for tub entry. Use only one step designed in compliance with local building codes, or at least 10-in. deep and 71/4-in. high. A grab bar or handrail must be included for safety.
Faucet controls
Faucet controls should be accessible to the user before entering the tub. In an enclosed tub or tub/shower combination, the controls may be placed on the wall at 33-in. above the finished floor. In general, off-setting the controls toward the room improves access by reducing bending and stretching.
Placing controls within 6 inches of the front wall makes them more accessible. For a free-standing tub, or one placed in a platform, controls should be on the front side. The user should not have to lean across the tub to turn on the water and check temperature. Place the faucet and controls so they do not conflict with the transfer area.
Besides faucet placement, the type and design should be considered. A faucet with a hand spray and 60-in. hose allows a caregiver to assist with bathing. Controls should be easy to grasp and manipulate. Any design other than smooth round knobs improves function. A single control is easier to use than separate hot and cold controls. If a tub/shower combination is planned, the shower controls must be pressure balanced, have thermostatic mixing, or be a combination of both.
Showering center
Shower size
Most prefabricated showers come in standard sizes from 32-in. to 48-in. square.
The recommended interior shower size for one person is at least 36-in. by 36-in. This allows one person to comfortably stand in the shower with arms raised to wash their hair. Building codes state that the minimum interior shower size is 30 in. by 30-in., but this is a tight space for most adults.
Check angled showers to make sure a 30-in. disc will fit into the shower floor. This will meet minimum code requirements. A larger disc area should be specified when user needs require more space.
For a person to move out of the shower spray inside the shower, a 42-in. by 36-in. shower should be considered. Larger prefabricated showers are available, and custom showers can be designed to meet the needs of the user. (Check that any prefabricated shower will fit through the bathroom door.) In a shower at least 60 inches deep, it is possible to control the spray within the shower. In a two-person shower, make sure there is room for both people.
Grab bars
Because most users stand in the shower, the risk of falling is great. Grab bars are recommended for the back and sides of the shower. A vertical bar at the shower entrance provides a helpful support when getting in and out. The surface and design of all grab bars should reduce the risk of a hand slipping on the bar.
Shower controls
The showerhead should be placed so it directs water toward the body, not the face or hair. A fixed showerhead, roughed in at 72-in. to 78-in. off the floor, is typical in many showers and tub/shower combinations. Plan the shower rough-in so that the bottom of the showerhead will be 72-in. off the finished floor or at a height appropriate to the user.
A showerhead on an adjustable bar, or a handheld showerhead, offers flexibility in a shower used by persons of different heights, or for different activities. When the adjustable height shower/hand spray is used, its lowest position should always be within the universal reach range (15 in. to 48 in. above finished floor).
The most convenient way for a plumber to install the shower control valves is to line them up under the showerhead. However, this is not most convenient for the user. Being able to reach the controls while standing outside of the shower spray is ideal. The NKBA recommends that the controls be placed out of the water spray and between 38-in. to 48-in. above the floor. An accessible location is 6 inches from the outside of the fixture.

Over the last decade, Shell has been undergoing an IT transformation that is remarkable for the scope of change it is seeking in one of the world's largest and most complex organizations—one with 25 business portfolios and operations across more than 100 nations. The transformation is defined by four phases, says Alan Matula, executive vice president and group CIO.
The first was about going back to basics—allowing Shell's IT leaders to better align IT with the business units by stabilizing operations, establishing project discipline, and tracking costs, people, and assets. Matula says that this solid foundation is essential to any successful IT transformation.
In the second phase, the targets were costs and complexity. Shell rationalized and consolidated infrastructure, substantially reduced the number of business applications, improved procurement procedures, and aggressively offshored. It also strengthened governance by recognizing that a real dialogue with the businesses was needed and recruited high-grade talent to conduct it.
Investments in the future formed the third phase: innovation, functional improvements, and business-driven multiyear investment programs to help the businesses meet their targets (for more, see our video interview with Matula below, "Staying on IT's cutting edge," or download a PDF of the video transcript). Shell implemented strategic sourcing to consolidate hundreds of suppliers, leaving just 11 key partners with whom it outsourced selected functions. Matula says the change in direction allowed Shell to work with suppliers, "doing things that are not only good for Shell but that also are innovative in the marketplace and help the industry."
Shell CIO Alan Matula discusses innovation, cloud computing, and the challenge of managing tech life cycles.
Shell is now geared up for the harvest-and-sustain phase, to ensure that the benefits of its IT investment are realized. "IT is more important and intense than ever before and that requires an ongoing effort to transform IT and improve its agility, to make the business more productive and competitive," Matula told McKinsey's Leon de Looff in a recent interview (in The Hague) covering Shell's IT transformation, challenges, and the many lessons learned so far.
The Quarterly: Shell has been in the midst of an IT transformation for several years now. Can you tell us about how it started and about the approach you took?
Four steps to a successful IT transformation
Put transformation on a solid footing by stabilizing IT operations, enforcing project discipline, and tracking costs, people, and assets.
Take a phased approach—lock in IT efficiencies and reduce complexity early on; then invest in improvements to help businesses meet their goals.
Get business unit support for major change by maintaining precise accountability for the delivery of benefits and by monitoring progress frequently.
Select or recruit top IT talent for the interface in concert with business units to help build the trust needed to sustain transformation.
Alan Matula: It was a phased approach that started in the early 2000s with a drive to get back to basics. I was very fortunate to be a part of that effort from the beginning, continuing over the four phases, since I held positions as a business CIO and now as group CIO. The phases addressed specific goals: back to basics, rationalization and consolidation, investing in the future, and harvest and sustain. (For more, see sidebar "Four steps to a successful IT transformation.")
The Quarterly: What do you need to launch an IT transformation at this scale?
Alan Matula: You have to start out with a solid foundation that builds credibility with the business. That includes stabilizing operations, implementing project discipline, and tracking costs, assets, and people. If you don't have the foundation, then don't even start.

The Quarterly: What did Shell do to be sure that the businesses were aligned on this?
Alan Matula: Right from the start, we deliberately put "business at the center" of what we do. But the key is that we have been able to strike a balance between an IT foundation that is standard across business units, while differentiating and catering to specific business needs—areas like high-performance computing for our exploration businesses.
The Quarterly: Did the move back to basics stir up any resistance from the businesses? And if so, how did you deal with that?
Alan Matula: We made the application portfolio transparent, showing the businesses the real cost and the complexity of what they had. They figured out pretty quickly that it didn't fit the changing business models and competitive conditions in the industry, or the globalization agenda the company had set for them.
The Quarterly: It must have been complicated given your historical legacy?
Alan Matula: You have to remember, we came from a nation-based operating model that was successful for many years. We're turning that model on its head. So you basically go nation by nation, region by region, and replace a lot of the legacy assets and start to initiate your standardization agenda to attack costs and complexity.
The Quarterly: CIOs debate whether IT should follow business change or lead it—in your case, for example, by furthering Shell's globalization through IT standardization. What is your view?
Alan Matula: I see it somewhat differently. IT is like cement to the standardization activities. If you don't cement changes with IT, then over time they will erode and revert back. IT provides the transparency that you need for driving standardization in a large, diversified corporation like Shell.
The Quarterly: You're now a few years into the campaign. What has changed?
Alan Matula: We went from hundreds of national enterprise resource programs to about six to eight core platforms that do the heavy lifting in terms of business transactional capability. For example, we now have one HR system, one health system, and three or four big application landscapes per business sector.
The Quarterly: And what about the applications that have to be tailored for business needs?
Alan Matula: In addition to the core platforms, we divided the business into portfolios around key sectors such as upstream, downstream, and corporate functions. But to really align IT directly to the business strategy, you need to go one layer deeper. So for downstream operations, that means retailing and manufacturing; for upstream, it's exploration and production. In total, we have 25 business portfolios.
The Quarterly: Are these managed differently?
Alan Matula: That's where we've put our key talent in terms of IT capability. Because of their business domain knowledge, these are the people who really get a seat at the table with business leadership teams. They understand the business strategies and can create the differentiating IT on top of the business transactional layer. A lot of what we consider competitively differentiating is kept in house. Even though you read a lot about outsourcing, the key differentiating systems are still kept and managed specifically within Shell.
The Quarterly: Stepping back a bit, how does a CIO build the business case—one that demonstrates the benefits of a broad transformation that involves major investments and a lot of change?
Alan Matula: We've learned for sure that when you make the business case, you have to ensure accountability for delivery of the benefits. You need the names of the people who are going to extract the gains. Then you need to track benefits on an ongoing basis. We're piloting quarterly monitoring where you look at an applications portfolio and examine where benefits are materializing and where they aren't.
Beyond that, you have to have the right people at the business interface. They are invaluable. You will not find a CIO who doesn't struggle with finding talent for the business interface. We've invested in our IT people through a learning program delivered by a business partner program.
The Quarterly: What role is IT playing in Shell's innovation efforts?
Alan Matula: We review each of our major portfolios every 18 to 24 months, focusing on the key technologies needed to stay in the game as well as what is needed for competitive differentiation. We have done some very innovative things—in telematics, for example, using wireless technology to monitor auto fuel consumption and efficiency. But the key to innovation is having a real dialogue at the business-portfolio level to understand where technology is important. That means a change of mind-set and skills, moving from a focus on the basic infrastructure of business administration to a position as close to the business leaders' needs as possible.
The Quarterly: What was the reasoning behind consolidating suppliers and outsourcing? How did your thinking evolve?
Alan Matula: We actually tested outsourcing early in phase two, but we backed away from it because we didn't want to outsource IT problems we hadn't fixed. Once we were comfortable with our progress, we started the third phase. We spent almost a year bringing in suppliers—10 or 15 of them—exploring what was working, what wasn't, and what needed changing. It was then that we latched onto multisourcing as a model. For example, in infrastructure, we now have three suppliers that are capable of providing services across the board. This provides us with flexibility and agility as we evolve the delivery model to respond to the changing IT market and Shell business needs. We benchmark the suppliers, and we have written contracts that are very flexible.
The Quarterly: Is there an optimum number of suppliers for a company like Shell?
Alan Matula: Things do not stay the same forever. But to give you a sense of our thinking, before we consolidated our infrastructure suppliers, we had about 1,500 different contracts, covering licenses, hardware, and services, with an outsourcing model that was very fragmented. We're now down to three infrastructure suppliers, and these are an integral part of what we call our ecosystem of key suppliers.
The Quarterly: Was there a driving philosophy behind the new outsourcing model and the new ways of working with suppliers?
Alan Matula: We started with the idea that we wanted 70 percent of our spending to be external. Of that, we wanted 80 percent to be focused on the top 11 suppliers. We put those 11 into three groups: First, there are the foundation suppliers, those in which we make long-term bets—Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP. Then there's the infrastructure group, with three bundles—AT&T, HP, and T-Systems—for networks, end-user computing, and hosting of storage, respectively. And finally we have four application services suppliers—Accenture, IBM, Logica, and Wipro. What we're doing differently is bringing all 11 of them together to work as a collective.
The Quarterly: Tell us more about that last point.
Alan Matula: About two years ago, we began meeting with the ecosystem suppliers every quarter. We started out slowly, defining golden rules and how we operate, with the ambition of actually doing things together that not only are good for Shell but that also are innovative in the marketplace and help the industry.
The Quarterly: What kinds of innovation?
Alan Matula: The boundaries between the traditional suppliers are blurring. Some traditional hardware suppliers are going into software and vice versa. Others are getting into the data center business. As we started to give our top 11 suppliers some big challenges, that gave rise to some innovative approaches. You're starting to see all suppliers wanting to play differently by collaborating to improve the overall delivery to Shell. I think it's going to be an exciting time as we continue to push current industry norms to drive greater degrees of collaboration, change, and innovation.
The Quarterly: You think of IT in terms of phases. What is the next frontier for IT transformation at Shell?
Alan Matula: The next phase in our transformation will be a shift to harvesting the benefits from the assets we have put in place—a new system for HR should last 15 years. So the goal now is to leverage these assets to improve business performance. That's a different model of change. It forces us to be more intimate with the business, actually putting business operations and IT operations side by side. In the project mode of recent years, you could keep some distance as you restructured, but in the harvest-and-sustain mode, you have to work to optimize the business processes, with IT delivering business performance improvements. The structural approach will be different, and that's what we're now exploring.
The Quarterly: Going forward, since you're trying to capture benefits outside IT, you need a different steering mechanism and metrics beyond just reducing IT unit costs, right?
"It's about smarter demand management, to make sure you are using only the IT that you require and are doing only the IT projects that you need to do."
Alan Matula: The pressure to reduce unit costs will never go away in IT. But when you get to harvest and sustain, it's about smarter demand management, to make sure you are using only the IT that you require and are doing only the IT projects that you need to do. It's also about a different set of metrics on the business side, and the ultimate art of this is talking to the businesses in their own terminology, to show exactly where IT contributes to their goals. We're testing a couple of portfolios to see if we can do this. It's something that every CIO would love to be able to do.
The Quarterly: Are you doing your own IT research to develop innovations for the business?
Alan Matula: At the beginning of each year, we carve out key technology areas or domains that we want to mine—things like sensors, high-performance computing, new ways of working. We work with the external providers as well as internally searching for areas where we can make disruptive, differentiating strikes. In terms of structure, we have put all IT technology research into a projects-and-technology organization with a chief technologist whose job is to look for those technology strikes that add the most business value. We want to send the message that the CTO is a business partner at a very different level from standard IT. The projects-and-technology organization is split from the rest of the IT function, and there's a cut line between the big technology plays and supporting staff—20 percent of the total staff—versus the more incremental activities that remain in the traditional IT line, or 80 percent of the staff.
The Quarterly: You have recently changed how you govern IT, with the business unit CIOs now reporting to the IT function and no longer to the business heads. Is this the optimal model?
Alan Matula: It's really about maturity. In the early phases, there was no way you could consolidate IT under one function. We needed to build credibility with the businesses, and they needed to take ownership of their project portfolios. In today's phases, maturity starts to blossom. The CIOs get more and more credibility. As long as they still have that seat at the business table, are heavily engaged, and serve on business forums and leadership teams, then that is what is really important. If that starts eroding, then we'll go back to the previous model.
The Quarterly: The change in governance more or less coincided with the start of the recession?
Alan Matula: That's right. I now have more levers to pull when it comes to costs and agility. The new governance model has allowed us to move faster and make decisions without working across different business lines to get everyone to agree. Furthermore, we can move IT resources around easier and more quickly.
The Quarterly: In the financial crisis, some CIOs have focused primarily on cutting IT spending, while others have focused on IT's important role in cutting business costs. What has been your experience?
Alan Matula: You have to do both. We have, for example, made use of the network for telephone calls, and we have transformation projects in place that use technology so we can work virtually. But it's a balance. You need to keep driving down pure IT costs on a unit basis while also providing technology that drives business costs down. Of course, it's always hard to tell that latter story, since it's often difficult to determine the full cost of a business process.
The Quarterly: While you have pushed standardization and sourcing to the maximum level, is it still possible to squeeze more costs and inefficiencies out of IT operations?
Alan Matula: There are new models emerging, based on cloud computing and software as a service, that are going to have an impact. Beyond that, we have to be a lot more selective about what projects we do, and most of all we have to work for continuous improvement to get the full potential from our IT assets.
The Quarterly: What are the lessons you have learned from this transformation? What might you have done differently and what would you tell other CIOs?
Alan Matula: IT is more important and intense to the enterprise than ever before, and that essentially requires an ongoing effort to transform IT; there is always another phase. To support that mental model, the first thing is to never lose the perspective that you're here to make the business more productive and more competitive. Our catchphrase, "business at the center," keeps us grounded. Our position today is a reflection of the tight integration that we have with the business, combined with the efforts of key support functions like HR, finance, and procurement.
A second thing is that you're only as good as the talent that you have. For instance, in the robust sourcing of infrastructure and applications we have put in place, the people at the interface are very important. They manage the critical supplier relationships with CEOs and top executives at these firms, and they have the technical know-how to help guide the suppliers.
Finally, if you don't have the basics right, you won't have any credibility. It only takes one bad "go live" on a project or a flaw in your basic delivery capabilities to set you back very quickly.

Damaged sub Hartford expected home Thursday
By Andrew Scutro - Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday May 20, 2009 13:35:39 EDT
The battered attack submarine Hartford is expected to return Thursday to its homeport of Groton, Conn., after a month-long escorted surface transit from Bahrain, according to Submarine Group 2.
The sub collided with the amphibious transport dock New Orleans the night of March 20 as both were entering the Persian Gulf. Navy officials said the sub was submerged but near the surface at the time of the collision.
Hartford's sail was bent and partly torn from the hull. A bow plane was also damaged.
New Orleans suffered a 16-foot-by-18-foot gash its hull, puncturing a fuel tank and two ballast tanks. It was repaired in Bahrain dry dock and returned to sea last week after being laid up for 53 days. The total repair bill was $2.3 million, according to Naval Sea Systems Command.
Upon return to the U.S., Hartford will proceed to the General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard for an assessment of repairs, which are expected to be lengthy and expensive.
The commanding officer and the chief of the boat of Hartford were both sacked in the aftermath of the incident. Mishap and safety investigations have been completed but endorsement reviews are expected to take months, according to 5th Fleet.

In the midst of Winter I found there was, within me, an invincible Summer.
Each September I romance over the idea of Autumn and Winter but come late January the romance is well and truly over. The days are short, the weather is bleak and Spring is still a long way off.
One of the downfalls of designing is having to mentally live in a different season from the rest of the world. Lately I've been reminiscing over hot summer days and balmy evenings. Reading in the sun, the scent of lavender and basil and my most favourite sound - the pop of a Procecco cork! The less said about Scotland's rain soaked Summers, the better...
31 comments:
I looove that look Cait! <3 Definitely need to keep an eye out for a chambray dress now - oh, and some Prosecco too ; )
Lost in the Haze: a Fashion Photography BlogLike you, I'm such a total summer girl. Constantly looking for warm, delicious sun (and the next prosecco cork popping!).
x Elena @ Randomly HappyI get that feeling of having to force you into unseasonal mind sets. As a shop owner, I have to always think ahead and also living in a place with no real seasons can make that difficult, too. On the upside, I feel like I get to have my own seasonal experience though and it almost makes me feel more inspired!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos! Makes me want it to be summer already. I love your dress in the top picture, the subtle pattern and bow are cute. Also really like the old marmalade pots for your plants - I tried to grow some in the kitchen but they always die. Just got introduced to your blog by Edinburgh Etiquette so following now, so hello from another Edinburgh blogger :-)
Lianne x
rubyrubyslippers.blogspot.comAs much as I love how pretty Edinburgh looked in the snow last week I am definitely ready for Winter to be over now. Scottish summers are hardly anything to look forward to but I am looking forward to not having to wear 3 pairs of tights if I don't want my toes to freeze. These photos are beautiful xo
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful pictures! Though I would love to see more from you..:)

I bought this comforter set because I currently have a 100% Laura Ashley cotton comforter set that I love but I upgraded to a bigger bed. I thought this would be the same quality but when I received it, it felt scratchy. It's actually 100% polyester and not at all the cozy quality of a cotton fabric. Also, it does not fit a queen size bed the way it shows in the picture. The comforter is significantly smaller and hangs sort of funny. I did purchase a queen set for a standard queen bed. I will say that the sheets seem soft although I did not take them out of the package fully. Also, the overstock.com customer service is excellent even though the website has errors. I was emailed a return label with shipping paid and a $$ credit on my next purchase.
Not comfy at all. Stiff and icky. The color is not aqua, more of a light blue.
The quality was acceptable but the color was listed as aqua but was more of a grayish blue.
I love this bedding!!! The colors are beautiful the comforter and shams are thick and heavy, I like that, some people may not. I am disappointed in the sheet set. They feel good, but after they are washed they are super wrinkly. Almost makes me want to iron them. I will eventually be buying new sheets. But the comforter and shams are worth the price. So glad I purchased this one!
color is nowhere near picture shown online. It is almost a gray, and very dull. Item seemed to be well made, but, color would NOT work..
I returned this because the colors were not true to the picture and didn't fit with my color scheme.
I ordered this comforter and really looking forward to receiving it. Finally when it came I opened the box and was so disappointed. The colors were not like on the page that is shown. It looked like it had gone through the washing machine with new jeans. It was very great so I closed the box and returned it. Overstock was great with the return.
This set was better than the picture shown! The sheet embrodery on the sheets was so pretty the set changed the entire feel of my bedroom. This bed set gets a gold star from me.
Maybe I expect too much from a brand such as Laura Ashley. The material used in this comforter set is rough to the touch, not at all "comforting." Colors are good and true to the photo. I have returned the set.
The material is thin & substandard. I could not find drapes to match the comforter & bedskirt. The Sophia Laura Ashley comforter, sheets, bedskirt, shams and draperies are quality products.

Description & Highlights
IQAir Chemisorber GCX Air Cleaner
Control chemicals and contaminants with the IQAir Chemisorber GCX Air Cleaner (1FBUB0LGB). Specially configured to control formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide, the Chemisorber GCX is engineered to provide maximum control of gaseous chemicals in a compact room air purifier. Just like a professional gas mask, GCX Series air cleaners rely on an interchangeable cartridge design for optimized gaseous pollutant control. And while molecular control is a particular strength of these systems, the GCX Series also offers excellent filtration efficiency for particles. The GCX Series also includes advanced anti-tampering features that prevent the unauthorized access to filters or disconnection of the system in public areas.
Compared to IQAir's GC Series, the GCX Series features nearly 75% more filtration media and as a result provides about 20% more airflow and longer filter service life. The Chemisorber GCX works through a three-step filtration process with multiple cartridges. First, micro- and nano-particle filtration via a high-efficiency HEPA filter eliminates micro- and nano-particles such as allergens, smoke, bacteria and viruses. This thorough particle pre-filtration is essential for extending the life of the gas phase control media by preventing its pores from clogging with particulates. Next, GCX's cartridges provide specialized molecular control - with four cartridges that hold up to 17 pounds of granular and pellet-shaped gas phase control media. The cylindrical shape of these cartridges allows for optimum contact, which ensures high removal efficiencies. The cartridges' large surface area also enables high airflow rates. Finally, post-filter sleeves perform micro-charged filtration, which eliminates activated carbon and chemisorption abrasion particles through a statically charged fiber structure - leaving air clean and free of fine dust.
High-Capacity Particulate, Chemical, and Odor Control:
Specially configured to control contaminants including formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide, the Chemisorber GCX is engineered to provide maximum control of gaseous chemicals in a compact room air purifierMulti-Cartridge Configuration:
Just like a professional gas mask, GCX Series air cleaners rely on an interchangeable cartridge design for optimized gaseous pollutant control - providing both molecular control and excellent particle filtrationCertified Performance:
IQAir tests and certifies each and every air cleaner, certifying each individual Chemisorber GCX unit for quality

1. Transaction Fee:
A transaction fee is similar to a brokerage fee or commission which you pay when you buy or sell a stock. For some funds available through Fidelity you are required to pay a transaction fee. However, you will not pay a sales load on Transaction Fee (TF) funds. You will only be charged a transaction fee when you buy a FundsNetwork TF fund, not when you sell one. All other fees and expenses described in a fund's prospectus still apply. You can choose to buy or sell shares directly from the fund itself or its principal underwriter or distributor without paying a transaction fee to Fidelity.
Online Transaction Fees: $49.95 for most funds. Certain funds will have a transaction fee of $75. To identify any applicable transaction fees associated with the purchase of a given fund, please refer to the "Fees and Distributions" tab.
Fidelity Automated Service Telephone (FAST): 25% off representative-assisted rates, Maximum: $187.50, Minimum:$75
Representative-Assisted: 0.75% of principal, Maximum: $250, Minimum: $100
Automatic Investment: $5 per transaction, after the initial investment.
Sales load:
A sales charge added to the price of the fund. Funds have different sales charge structures, including front-end loads, back-end loads (deferred), and no loads. Sales loads can either be charged when a fund is purchased, commonly known as a front-end load, or when a fund is sold, known as a deferred load. Not all funds charge a load. Refer to the Loads, Expense and Minimums section of the fund's prospectus for details on these amounts. Although no load funds do not have a front-end or deferred load, they may incur other fees, such as a 12b-1 fee.
2. Total returns are historical and include change in share value and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Cumulative total returns are reported as of the period indicated. Life of fund figures are reported as of the commencement date to the period indicated and are cumulative if the fund is less than one year old. Total returns do not reflect the fund's [%] sales charge. If sales charges were included, total returns would have been lower.
3. The Morningstar Category Average is the average return for the peer group based on the returns of each individual fund within the group, for the period shown. This average assumes reinvestment of dividends.
4. This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in this investment product (and a benchmark or category average, if shown) from the beginning date shown or on the inception date of the product (whichever is later). The inception date used for products with underlying funds, or multiple shares classes, or are offered as a separate account, strategy or sub account, may be the inception date of the underlying fund, the earliest share class of the product, or the date composite performance for the product was first made available. The product's returns may not reflect all its expenses. Any fees not reflected would lower the returns. Benchmark returns include reinvestment of capital gains and dividends, if any, but do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This chart is not intended to imply any future performance of the investment product.
5. Initial minimum investments into group retirement accounts such as Fidelity Simplified Employee Pension-IRA, Keogh, Self-Employed 401(k), and Non-Fidelity Prototype Retirement accounts are $500 or higher. Additional investments into Regular, IRA, and Group accounts are $250 or higher.
6. Any holdings, asset allocation, diversification breakdowns or other composition data shown are as of the date indicated and are subject to change at any time. They may not be representative of the fund's current or future investments. Some breakdowns may be intentionally limited to a particular asset class or other subset of the fund's entire portfolio, particularly in multi-asset class funds where the attributes of the equity and fixed income portions are different.
Under the asset allocation section, international (or foreign) assets may be reported differently depending on how an investment options reports its holdings. Some do not report international (or foreign) holdings here, but instead report them in a "Regional Diversification" section. Some report them in this section as an to the equity, bond and other allocation shown. Others report international (or foreign) holding as a subset of the equity and bond allocations shown. If the allocation without the foreign component (or round to) 100%, then international (or foreign) is a subset of the equity and bond percentage shown.

Haren, Fister set to square off in short-series finale
Makeup of rainout features righties who have each been solid of late
WASHINGTON -- Thursday was supposed to be an off-day for the Nationals and Tigers, but thanks to Tuesday's rainout, the clubs instead will spend it closing out their two-game set.
Washington will try for the quick sweep following Wednesday's 3-1 victory, its third straight win and fifth in six games. Detroit, which saw its four-game win streak snapped, still has taken nine of its past 11.
Both pitchers -- the Tigers' Doug Fister and Nationals' Dan Haren -- will be working on extra rest, thanks to the rainout.
Fister (4-0, 2.48 ERA), who has had five days off since pitching on Friday, will be going for his sixth consecutive quality start. The right-hander has yet to allow more than three earned runs in a game this season.
On Friday at Houston, Fister sailed through six scoreless innings but didn't record an out in the seventh, giving up three runs -- two earned -- on nine hits in taking a no-decision.
Haren (3-3, 5.01) is working on six days' rest and said he doesn't mind.
"You have to take it in stride," Haren said. "[Tuesday] was pretty much an off-day anyway. You [only] get so many off-days in a season. You hope to enjoy [them]. At least they called it early, so we can just relax."
Haren got off to a rough start but has turned it around, with a 1.93 ERA over his last two outings. On Thursday at Atlanta, he pitched eight innings -- moving past the sixth for the first time -- and held the Braves to one run on four hits while throwing only 90 pitches.
Manager Davey Johnson said Haren was more concerned with his health and arm strength coming out of Spring Training but now is "just pitching."
"Last two or three times out, he's been outstanding -- location, movement, changing speeds, reading hitters. He's been great," Johnson said. "More the Dan Haren I know."
Tigers: Martinez relegated to bench
Playing in a National League park, the Tigers don't have room in their lineup for designated hitter Victor Martinez, who did not start on Wednesday and likely won't again on Thursday. Martinez, who missed last season while recovering from knee surgery, believes he could catch if needed.
"I mean, I'm pretty healthy," Martinez said. "That's not a concern at all. It's a matter of just getting ready."
For now, Martinez is a pinch-hitter. He has only 45 pinch-hit plate appearances in his career, including a flyout on Wednesday, and last got a hit in that role in 2009.
• Tigers starting pitchers have recorded a quality start in 21 of 23 games going back to April 11. They have a 2.80 ERA over that span.
Nationals: Pick your catcher
Johnson has the luxury of two starting-quality catchers, in Wilson Ramos and Kurt Suzuki, and he has alternated between them, except for when Ramos was on the disabled list. Ramos started consecutive games for the first time on Saturday and Sunday, and Suzuki was back in the lineup on Wednesday.
As far as how he will divide their time moving forward, Johnson said he is open to different approaches, including going with the hot hand. One idea he doesn't much like is having one guy be the personal catcher for a certain pitcher or pitchers.
"I really think both those guys, Suzuki and Ramos, are very well prepared, going over scouting reports. They've caught everybody, and we've been successful with whoever we've got behind the dish," Johnson said. "I've talked to the pitching coach, [Steve] McCatty, when I've had a question about who to catch, you know, 'Is there a pitcher preference?' And by and large, his reply was, 'No, they like throwing to both of them.'"
• Right fielder Jayson Werth figures to be out of the lineup for the fifth straight game on Thursday, when he will have an MRI done on his ailing right hamstring. Johnson said a stomach virus has left Werth dehydrated and contributed to the muscle tightening.
Worth noting
• The Nationals' win on Wednesday was their first in seven games against the Tigers since the franchise moved from Montreal. It also was the teams' first meeting at Nationals Park.
• Fister's only career start against Washington came as a member of the Mariners in 2011, when he gave up one run over eight innings at Nationals Park.
• Haren has a 3.63 ERA in 10 career starts against the Tigers.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Born Again Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree, when one turned to the other and said, "Slim, I'm 83 years old now, and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?" Slim said, "I feel just like a newborn baby." "Really! Like a newborn baby?" "Yep... No hair, no teeth and I think I just wet my pants."
That's What I Should Be Doing A man and his wife were driving down the road when they saw an attractive blonde jogging by. "That's what I should be doing," the man told his wife. "What, jogging?" she asked. "No, her."
Close Your Curtains Joe says to Paddy: "Close your curtains the next time you're shagging your wife. The whole street was watching and laughing at you yesterday." "Well the joke's on those stupid bastards," Paddy replies, "because I wasn't even at home yesterday!"
Geography Question The teacher of the school geography class was lecturing on map reading. After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees, and minutes, the teacher said: "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude. Where would I be eating?" After a confused silence, little Johnny put up his hand and replied: "My guess is you'd be eating alone!"
Ready For Their Close-Up Two guys are chatting in their hospital beds. "What are you in for?" one asks. "Camera down the throat," the other replies. "Oh, endoscopy?" the first one asks. "Yes," he says. "Checking for stomach cancer. What about you?" "Camera up the ass," he replies. "Oh, colonoscopy? Checking for bowel cancer?" "No, my wife caught me taking a photo of our neighbor sunbathing."
General Mayhem A four-star general was confined to a military hospital for treatment of a malady. For almost a week he made a complete nuisance of himself, irritating both staff and the other patients, demanding attention and expecting his every order to be followed immediately. One afternoon an orderly entered the room. "Time to take your temperature, General," the orderly said. After growling at the orderly, the general opened his mouth to accept the thermometer. "Sorry, General, but for this test, we need your temperature from the other end," the orderly explained. A whole new barrage of verbal abuse followed, but the orderly was insistent that a rectal temperature was what the test called for. The general at last rolled over, bared his rear, and allowed the orderly to proceed. The orderly then told the general, "Stay exactly like that, and don't move. I'll be back in five minutes to check up on you." An hour later, the head nurse entered the room, saw the general with his bare rear in the air and gasped, "What's going on here?" "Haven't you ever seen someone having their temperature taken?" the general barked. "Yes, I have, General, but with a daffodil?"
Something Sexy Mick walks into Paddy's barn and catches him dancing naked and playing with himself in front of a tractor. "Oh, no, Paddy, what are ya doing?" Mick asks. Paddy says, "Well, me and Mary haven't been getting on in the bedroom lately, and the therapist recommended I do something sexy to a-ttracter."

Phils look to keep winning under Sandberg vs. Marlins
Miami calls on rookie Flynn to stop slide, pick up win in third career start
With the regular season winding down, Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg is uncertain what the future holds for him beyond September.
He knows his team won't be in the postseason, but he doesn't know if he'll have a job next season as the full-time manager in Philadelphia. So rather than worry about anything out of his control, Sandberg is focused on making the best out of the next two weeks, including Tuesday's game against the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park.
"There hasn't been any indication or word or anything," Sandberg said of his future with the Phillies. "No, I'm just focused on what I'm doing here and the games to be played, getting the players in there as much as I can, making up a lineup to win a baseball game. I want to win as many games as we can, finish strong, finish on a positive note, a good note, all those things."
The Phillies have done their best to end the season the right way, going 17-13 since Sandberg took over for Charlie Manuel on Aug. 16. They continued that in the series opener against the Marlins on Monday, walking away with a 12-2 win.
Meanwhile, Miami enters Tuesday's contest having lost three in a row and 10 of its last 13. Manager Mike Redmond and the Marlins will turn to a pitcher looking for his first Major League win to end the slide.
Called up in early September, Brian Flynn will make his third career start Tuesday. The 23-year-old left-hander went just four innings and gave up six hits in each of the previous two outings. Although he allowed only three runs on Sept. 4 against the Cubs, the Braves tagged him for six runs on Thursday.
Command will likely be a primary focus for Flynn against the Phillies, as he's walked nine batters in his eight big league innings. He tied Miami's season high for free passes in a game with six his last time out.
"It's extremely frustrating for me, hurting yourself more than the other team is hurting you," Flynn said. "That will just grind your gears and make you lose sleep."
Phillies: Halladay set for fifth start since DL stint
Roy Halladay hasn't been his usual self since returning from shoulder surgery on Aug. 25. In a stretch that covers four starts, he is 1-0 with a 5.06 ERA, giving up 18 hits in 21 1/3 innings.
Perhaps the most glaring indication that Halladay still is working his way back into form is that he enters Tuesday's game against the Marlins having walked five batters in each of his last two starts. The last time he walked five in a game before that was in 2007, and Halladay admitted after going just 4 1/3 against the Padres on Thursday that it will take time for him to get back to the top of his game.
But the 36-year-old right-hander is determined to get there and is happy to be pitching again after almost four months on the disabled list.
"In all honesty, I'm proud of the fact that I've made it back," Halladay said after his last start. "A lot of guys my age could be at home, not pitching, could never pitch again. I feel like I beat some of those odds, and that's what I'm looking at and am trying to take the positives.
"I woke up this morning and it was like Christmas morning, getting a chance to pitch again. After sitting out and watching the team and not being a part of it, it's a completely different thrill to be able to go out there and pitch now. I want to do a better job for us."
Marlins: Mathis returns to lineup
Altough Jeff Mathis went hitless Monday against the Phillies, manager Mike Redmond and the Marlins were happy to welcome their catcher back from a week off with a right thumb contusion.
In action for the first time since Sept. 9, the biggest thing Mathis brought back, according to Redmond, was his contribution behind the plate where he helps guide the young Miami pitchers.
He was on the wrong end of a collision at the plate with Domonic Brown in the third inning, but caught four more frames before exiting, and Redmond said he was OK.
"I think [the thumb] will be sore, but at this time, there isn't a catcher who isn't banged up," Redmond said. "It's been a long season after a long spring. It's been a physical grind and an emotional grind. Guys are tired, but it's part of playing in the big leagues and you have to finish. You have to keep fighting through it. With so many young guys, this is big for us to get through."
Worth noting
• The Marlins are 1-4 five games into their 10-day, 11-game road trip. They started with four games against the Mets and finish with three in Washington.
• The Phillies own a 10-4 record in the season series against the Marlins and have won the last six meetings between the clubs.
• Philadelphia has won 22 of its last 29 games against Miami at Citizens Bank Park.
