Inside Out
For kitchen and bath designers interested in maximizing space in their next design – and maximizing profits at the same time – creating a master closet system may be just the right project.
Closet systems often work seamlessly with bathroom remodel projects and provide an upsell opportunity. The result is a win-win situation for designers and their clients.
"Even if you're not doing a big master bath, you can still update the closets," stresses Roy McClain, v.p. of Mechanicsburg, PA-based Advanced Kitchen and Bath.
However, it is the master bath project that often leads to the creation of a closet system.
"Most of our closet projects come when we're doing a master bath, where we've knocked out walls and enlarged the master bathroom and incorporated the dressing room and the closet into that area," reports McClain. "Once you start the master bath and ripping out walls, you are often also destroying the existing closets. As a result, you are also asked to provide a new design."
Lori Jo Krengel, CMKBD, president of Kitchens by Krengel in St. Paul, MN, offers: "What I see is what I call value engineering. If you are talking about a master bedroom or bathroom en suite ensemble, the closet is an easy transition into the completion of those areas."
Mastering the Transition
If a designer is proficient at kitchen design, much of this knowledge translates to wardrobes, according to Kevin Farrell, AIA, NCARB of Farrell Design Association in Encinitas, CA and Captiva Island, FL.
"The key for kitchen and bath designers is to become well versed in correct space planning for cabinetry dimensions and capacity required for apparel," stresses Tom Shirley, designer, Cabinets & Designs in Lexington, KY. "The designer must be familiar with the special hardware and storage items that are available, as well."
"The ability to estimate the owners' use by establishing a program will help assure success," adds Farrell.
In addition to material adjustments, there are structural considerations with these projects that designers should familiarize themselves with as well.
"You have to make sure you don't have any supporting walls," stresses Shirley. "A lot of times, you steal a foot or so out of the master bedroom that really isn't needed and is more of a benefit in the walk-in closet because it allows it to have open air in that space."
But, he notes, designers also have to understand the structural requirements of the space before that can be done.
"Overall, the key is to look at every bathroom and see what other opportunities there are besides doing the floor, the vanity, the water closet and the tub," Shirley continues. That's where the opportunity for the master closet often presents itself. "The bottom line is to always try and pick up a new trick," he notes.
Just as a master bath can be enhanced by a dynamic closet system, often a closet system can be enhanced by a master bath, reports McClain. "It simply requires thinking outside the box," he notes.
When creating a master bedroom closet, customers often expect the overall design to coordinate with the adjacent bath suite.
"The level of sophistication in door style, finish and details found in the master bath needs to be carried over into the dressing room," states Shirley.
"Obviously, the more high-end things you include in the closet design, the more you boost your bottom line," stresses McClain.
What's in Store
Of course, closet systems are nearly synonymous with storage, so a quality closet design needs to start with the basics.
"Many people don't want clutter in their master bedroom, so the walk-in closet is the place to put [things like that]," McClain explains.
"Often, clients are looking for more storage for shoes, hats or ties, for instance," he continues. "It's similar to the kitchen in that you have different areas you concentrate on when it comes to storage."
"Storage is definitely a big one for people, especially shoe storage," concurs Stephanie Samara, interior designer and Allied ASID for Karlovec & Co. in Shaker Heights, OH. "I am also seeing a lot of demand for space for hanging items. The idea is to try to condense things so that you can add more storage."
"Most people want organized storage space," adds Linda Evans, CKD, CBD, CAPS of Portland, OR-based Square Deal Remodeling Co. "If they are in a town house or condo, then the houses aren't as big. When you organize that closet with drawer space, it kind of opens up a smaller sized bedroom space."
Many kitchen and bath designers who regularly work on closets like to use cabinetry with doors to help conceal stored items.
"The ability to hide clothing cleans up the view as you enter, thus giving the feel of 'custom,' " Farrell points out.
"When creating the design, first we look at the necessary space required for hanging, shoes, undergarments, socks, shirts, sweaters, folded and storage," explains Shirley. "With this information we begin the layout to determine the room size."
Shirley stresses the importance of doing this separately for both spouses. "Depending on the project, we may design separate spaces, but typically it is achieved in one," he says.
"One project I did has a dedicated his and hers area, so they were lucky that they had the space to separate the two areas," reports Samara. "When two people are sharing a closet, it is usually divided up so that the male will have one side and the female has the other side."
Farrell continues: "We try to utilize space for a hamper or storage and have a dedicated place for jewelry, wallets, watches and loose change."
Farrell adds that his firm will use glass doors to make locating a desired item simpler as well as making the space feel larger.
Closet Islands
Islands, although typically reserved for kitchen applications, can also be effective in closets, the designers note.
"I am seeing a lot of islands in closets," says Samara. "It's good to have options for drawers that pull out, and have a space where you can lay suitcases while packing or unpacking."
"Anyone who has the space to put in an island will typically want to do that," agrees Krengel. "It can multitask as a bench area, or a space to lay out a suitcase."
"In larger designs, we will create an 'island' in the middle that is flanked with drawers and storage," adds Farrell. "The top of the island can be used for layout of clothes, art display, etc."
"We are also seeing benches attached to the island so people can sit down and put on their shoes," Samara continues. This also provides a space for compartmentalizing ties, hats, purses, etc., she adds, explaining that this way, "Everything has its space."
Upsell Items
Closets provide a range of upsell possibilities, sometimes with some intriguing results.
"We've designed many closets with 'clothes chutes' that go directly to the laundry room," reports Shirley. "We've also incorporated stackable washer/dryer systems, built-in ironing stations and even turned the space into a storm shelter in hurricane or tornado prone areas."
"I have seen small refrigerators for drinks and water," inside the closet, says Samara.
"I have even had requests for a wet bar in the corner of the closet – depending on the size – or maybe an undercounter refrigerator," reports McClain.
"We put safes in some of our closet designs," he states. "They are usually camouflaged by cabinet fronts, so nobody even knows they are there."
"We did a closet that had a safe," offers Samara. "It was full-height and it stored all of the client's jewelry. We put a panel on it so that it is sort of integrated into the space. In that same closet there was an island, and she had a three-way mirror and a little stand – it was a large closet!"
Full-length mirrors are also a must for the upscale closet.
"Closets are becoming more like dressing rooms. Full-length mirrors are a very popular item, so the person can see what they are wearing as they get dressed," remarks Samara.
Shirley agrees: "A full-length mirror is useful in dressing, and it expands the apparent size of the overall closet."
Finishes and mouldings represent another area for expanded profits.
"The profit centers lie, in my opinion, where there is a lot of what I call 'white space' in the closet. You don't have to have finished cabinetry backs on the open shelving portions of things. So the places where they are going to hang their clothing do not have the same woodworking costs as in some of the more linear spaces," says Krengel. "In other words, you are profiting from spaces that don't require the expense of drawers, hardware, etc."
To that end, she says designers will likely be able to introduce some additional elements, such as additional countertop materials and crown molding, as well as paint colors.
She adds: "Every bit you get is going to be value added to the overall space."
In the Dark
Of course, storage is only effective if the client can easily access what he or she needs – and that means proper lighting, says McClain.
"Lighting is important in closets. We see that LED lighting is often requested, for instance. The key is that it needs to be efficient lighting since that is the hot topic right now. A lot of clients like a simple switch, but others like lighting that turns on when you open the door, or perhaps an entry light coming on automatically," he continues.
"We always try to provide filtered natural light when possible. This helps the space from becoming too claustrophobic and minimizes energy costs," adds Farrell.
"I have only come across a few that have actual windows in the space," says Samara. "A lot of people, if they want a countertop or vanity-type element in the closet, will have some sort of undercabinet lighting along the perimeter."
McClain adds that other options include a sensor light that turns itself off after it detects no motion in the closet.
"A lot of designers don't think about things like this, but it really does set you apart from other kitchen and bath firms," he says.
Setting your firm apart from the rest is the name of the game, Samara adds. "My advice is to try designing closets if you can. Some [closet system] companies will even work with the designer as far as cutting a commission check if you refer their company and you work with them directly."
Krengel believes the best way to sell such spaces is through an inclusive design program incorporating the master bath.
"If you can wrap it up and bundle it within the master suite, then I feel like there is definitely an opportunity to say there is some cost savings for the homeowner, but there are also some adjacencies of cost that make it doable to them that will add additional bottom line profit for you as a business owner," she adds.
"It makes it one-stop shopping for the client," says Evans.
"Sometimes the homeowners don't always think about the possibilities with closets. Closet systems can be fairly expensive because of the finishes – so you must look for the biggest bang for your buck," Evans says. She notes that her clients have found closet design worth the expense. In fact, she says: "If they do spend their money on a closet [system], they typically say that is the best money they've ever spent."
McClain concludes: "Designers who do not include closet design in their service offerings are definitely missing out."

I shouted you out in my song called "Cognitive Dissonance" Quote:"Cause like a pornstar we're wating for our Messiah to cum/come/ Not to mention history is hidden like the continent of Mu, "Exposing The Wicked" making the sin shine, waiting for God to send down a messiah and that day will be Rah/Raw (Rah is the Sun God of the Lost Continent Mu) preparing us for the Revelation of God's Sun/"
What do you think?
thats me, watch me live, part of the reason i am where i am is because of you man...
once again thanks for showing me the way...
tell me what u think
alright so what about when Lupe said, "i run the game / bilderberg group in the lead with the flash / usain bolt aint even leavin this fast". I mean shit if you have the knowledge of bilderberg group and know what its about why would you use a metaphor that likens you to them. Secondly, if he doesn't know what they are, you know damn well that he didn't hear something good about them. Pretty much on that enemy of the state tape he says a lot of shit that aint right. also hes got mad symbolism all over his art. traingle/pyramid. and third off Lupes cool with Jayz and thats wack. Bottomline: Lupe is obviously one of(if not) the best lyricist out at the moment...problem is hes on the same exact bullshit as everybody else.
No offense brother but based on what you've been showing so far on these forums, there is a lot more you need to learn, and forget! These videos you show people were made by people who are uneducated about secret societies, mainly because they have zero experience within them or zero experience in talking to people within them. Freemasons aren't bad people. They actually do a lot of philanthropic work in this country (I had a great uncle who was a mason)
That second video I sent you was an example of religious idiocy. That was not meant to do anything (I thought the video was laughable). But I am hoping you can at least take a constructive look at Islam. Don't think Islam is free of the bullshit, because it isn't. I worry about all people within religion because that's one of their ways of deception, to trick you into false dogmatic practices under a false flag.
I would love to have a friendly debate about Islam and religion sometime. We could even do it here on the forums, but dialogue is necessary for progress.
I'm sure you will do fine on the exam. Just pretend like you have to expose how easy it is, then expose it!
wow u were right... i answered my own question after i thought about it over-night ;] reminds me of the ending of "The Dark Knight"... "tell them I killed him, they'll hate me for it, but unlike others, i can run from them, and continue to save the city of darkness as a vigilante...etc" he does it for the "greater-good" thats why most dont know about the sneaker box and laces below, u can't faucet upon them, they would never understand, take ur time, we wait behind only pertains to that porsche grill. until they ketchup like mayonaise, RKF love... mickey factz whaaa? crazy.
after research and what not, I am no longer Catholic... does that make me a diest? i haven't done enough research on the Qur'an yet, so im somewhat lost, I got an Einstein way of thinking, more reading must be done, I believe there is a force above us but i cannot deny nor prove off course ;]... is there something i can look to to help my situation easier?
beam me up scottie
I have indeed seen all of these videos. I have my own views about hip-hop and secret societies, but believe me when I say this. No one in hip-hop (with the exception of a few people) are masons. Masons no longer act as a secret society anymore and are hardly a fraternity. Masons don't even try to be covert anymore and are almost willing to talk about anything these days. I have spoken to many freemasons in my spare time. Their society is overrated. You need to start exposing the Bilderberg Group and other secret societies. When I go to Washington DC this February, I am going to visit the Masonic Library which is about 14 blocks from the Washington Monument.
Believe me when I say that the vatican is the root of all this brain washing, as are most religious oranizations. Do some research on the vatican and you will be surprised at how much power they have. Be aware of what videos you watch. A lot of youtube documentaries have misinformation all over them.
I'm going to give you this lecture to watch. Michael Tsarion is a very important researcher in this field of symbolism and mind control. This video series is 19 parts but worth it. Save it for a rainy day...
Here's part 1
its crazy that everyday humans are too stupid to take the time to pick up a book and read what life is really about. they are too focused on getting to their jobs to make money that they aren't seeing the big picture... like me once b4, but in waking up I now realize that its from how they are brought up. My parents put me in catholic school and told me what was "good" and what was "bad". so I had no opinions of my own. I know not every star is shining, but my question is why is Shawn On To The Next One? If i had kids I'm not sure i would want them to see this imagery. it has me worried as to what the mission parameters are.
My Village has been telling me my words are untouchable...
...where can i put them to the test?
No doubt bro. We should talk more soon in detail as I think it would benefit both of us. I have an oovoo but I don't have an aim.
Yes, I woke up a couple years ago. I started college and began studying religion, history and philosophy. I've explored in that department in quite a few areas. I don't belong to any religion but I still believe there is something beyond the control of my body tha influences my decisions. I am not Kemetic, but I love studying Egypt as that country contains probably the oldest proof of religious practice int the world.
And yes, I do my martial arts. I am actually hoping to take up Capoeria this spring. There is a kid at my school who gives lessons once a week for free. But yeah, a few things need to be cleared I suppose, so if you want, we can talk further.
ok, i "understand" now... i'm trying to hold in my excitement if you know what i mean. the literature does pay off. It appears that Wii are about 2/3's of the way done wiith this unabortable missiion. II only have oNe question... how do ii use the leap frog program cuz ii fen da wAkE em up 2?....
p.s.. I n33d 2 tell u sumthin...
Bier is teh shit man! Vooral Heineken. Heineken for life breddeh! But you cant know that... You're too ignorant to ever understand dat! :D
Plus die schoenen zijn awesome! Ze zijn vet zeldzaam! SB Heinekens Jonge!
Wanneer Lupe weer in NL komt? Geen idee, ik denk volgend jaar. Dan ben ik er zeker bij!
im sooo sorry that lupe wont let u defame his whole character, make ridiculous claims about him, try to tell people that hes evil and create a conspiracy theory about him, on HIS OWN FUCKIN WEBSITE. how could he do such a thing?!?!?!? smh u needa go somewhere, go outside n enjoy life instead of callin every succesful person a devil just to get some attention on the interweb

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking. Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Who do you think is going to die in War or who should die? And why? It would be really unbelieveable if noone died bcs it is a war and people died throughout history. So leave your thoughts

Kakashi. He's not coming back this time
I guess the 300+ fodders don't count.

Since people are being brought back to life instead of dying during a war.... Im gonna have to say nobody.
There are 80000 shinobi and samurai, and the Zetsus have gone and replicated several shinobi already, half of whom are definately dead, the other half, who knows. There was also that guy from the Aburame clan who was running recon, he died because of Deidara, damn Deidara blew the poor guy up. What you seem to want is to see a major character die. I vote...Guy, but I wouldn't put it past Kishi to kill off Kakashi, again...
I say Gai, Tsunade for sure...and then Maybee Tenten, Kiba, the leader of the second division from Iwagakure, and several fodders without a name
Tsunade. Gai. Kakashi. Obito. Onoki. A. Shizune. Hiashi the hyuuga head. Choza. Yamato. Anko. Loads of fodders. and Sasuke (YES I SAID IT). Quite certain the majority of these will at least die in the war.
i have already decided none of them are going to die since none of them had died which is complete BS they fight all these ressurected Edo guys alot of them stronger but none die {mostly cuz they ganged up on them cowards and plot}
Well, Tsunade is currently cut in 2...so, I'm guessing Tsunade.

Short Description
Adalat (generic name: Nifedipine; brand names include: Nicardia / Nifedical / Procardia) is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
Adalat is used to:
Treat high blood pressure (hypertension)
Prevent chronic stable angina (chest pain)
Adalat is one of the best researched antihypertensive drugs. Clinical studies such as INSIGHT and ACTION have clearly shown that Adalat can help optimise blood pressure control and prevent long-term cardiovascular damage.
Adalat was the first calcium channel blocker to be shown to significantly reduce the development of new overt heart failure in patients with coronary artery disease. Excellent blood-pressure control in recent clinical trials has been shown to result in significant protection against stroke.
Scientific evidence shows that Adalat has some of the best results for long-term clinical outcome.
Adalat works by opening up blood vessels in the body to lower blood pressure and improve the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
Calcium channel blockers do not change the amount of calcium in your blood or bones.

"Flowers for borders" is the concept behind ground-breaking research and has revealed how gardeners can attract beneficial insects — ladybugs, lacewings, ground beetles and other insects that feed on pests — simply by planting certain flowers. We've been monitoring this research and compiling a list of plants that are both highly ornamental and proven effective in attracting and sheltering beneficials. Here's our exclusive special report on these beautiful and valuable plants.
To get energy to search for their prey, or to reproduce, many beneficial insects feed on nectar (for carbohydrates) and pollen (for protein) from flowering plants. Researchers are discovering that some flowers are much better sources of nectar and pollen to sustain beneficial insects than others. Studies are also revealing the best plants to grow for shelter to help good bugs thrive. And as an added bonus, many of the nectar sipping/pest-eating insects that are attracted to flower pollen will also pollinate your fruit and vegetable crops and increase your yields.
Here are the top ten ornamental plants we recommend for Beneficial Borders. All are very easy to grow and ideal choices even for new gardeners.
The 11 Best Plants for Beneficial Borders
1. Bachelor's Buttons or Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) This beautiful blue wildflower has extrafloral nectaries, which means the plant's leaves release nectar even when the flowers are not blooming. Research in Germany has found that bachelor button nectar has a very high sugar content of 75 percent. This nectar is highly attractive to flower flies, ladybugs, lacewings, and beneficial wasps. Sow easy-to-grow bachelor's buttons seeds directly in the garden in fall or early spring; plants usually reseed energetically.

2. Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) This low-growing annual makes a lovely white, highly fragrant edging for flower beds, or a fast-growing, beneficial-attracting, weed-smothering ground-cover to interplant in vegetable beds. Numerous studies have confirmed that sweet alyssum is highly attractive to aphid-eating flower flies. You can start with seeds, or buy bedding plants for earlier flowering.

3. Borage (Borago officinalis) This annual herb has bright blue clusters of edible, cucumber-flavored flowers. Studies in Switzerland have shown borage to be exceptionally attractive to good bugs, with an average of over 100 beneficials found in just 1 square yard of borage. In addition, common green lacewings have a very strong preference to lay their eggs on borage. Look for borage on garden center seed racks and mail order seed catalogs.

4. Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum) This 6 to 8 foot tall native perennial has a unique feature that makes it a star in Beneficial Borders. The leaves wrap all the way around the stems, forming a deep cup that collects dew and rainwater. Beneficial insects and small birds can easily use the leaves as landing pads, and then drink from the cups. Cup plant is an outstanding ornamental, with large attractive leaves and clusters of yellow flowers in mid to late summer that are highly attractive to many insects. It's hardy to zone 4 or 3. To start seeds, sow in fall, or store in damp sand in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks before planting in spring.

5. Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum or A. rugosa, aka Korean mint) Perennial, summer-blooming anise hyssop has fuzzy purple or violet flower spikes on 2 to 3 foot high plants with licorice-scented leaves. The nectar-rich flowers are very attractive to both butterflies and pest-eating beneficial insects. Anise hyssop is hardy in zones 6-9; Korean mint in zones 5-8.

Golden Marguerite (Anthemis tinctoria) This long-blooming perennial produces bright yellow 2 inch daisies that are highly attractive to five key kinds of beneficials—ladybugs, lacewings, flower flies, tachinid flies and mini-wasps. It was the only plant out of 170 species to score this well in a 3-year study at botanical gardens in Colorado and Wyoming. Golden marguerite thrives in poor soils, growing 2 to 3 feet high and wide. Deadhead (remove spent flowers) to promote rebloom, and divide plants every 2 to 3 years. Hardy in zones 3 to 7.

7. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Long-lasting fennel flowers are extremely attractive to all nectar-feeding beneficial insects, and the feathery green or purple foliage looks wonderful in spring and early summer. Fennel is a host plant for the caterpillars of the anise swallowtail butterfly. The seeds and leaves are also eaten by humans, and are excellent in salads (leaves) or spaghetti sauce (seeds). The plants grow about 5 feet high and are perennial in zones 6-9.

8. Mountain Mints (Pycnanthemum virginianum and P. muticum) Both of these native mountain mints (and many other members of the mint family) are excellent choices for Beneficial Borders. Short-toothed mountain mint (P. muticum) has broad clusters of small white flowers surrounded by unique, showy white bracts; it makes beautiful dried flowers. Mountain mints grow 2 to 3 feet tall and are hardy from zones 4 to 7. Not yet widely available, these plants can be ordered from Sunnybrook Farms, 440-729- 7232.

9. Pussy Willows (Salix species) Willows are especially valuable because they produce pollen so early in the spring, when many beneficials are just emerging. Pussy willows are super-easy to grow and fun to cut for flower arrangements. Most garden centers will carry pussy willows in spring, or you can root cuttings from a neighbors' shrub in water.

10. Ornamental Grasses All clump-forming grasses provide excellent summer shelter and overwintering sites for ground beetles, ladybugs and other beneficials. Studies in England found more than 1,500 predators per square yard in grass-covered "beetle banks" planted in arable fields.
11. Corn Corn tassels produce large amounts of pollen that is a nutritious protein source for many beneficials. And while we usually don't think of corn as an ornamental, it's actually very striking when planted in flower beds. Think of it as a very fast- growing, tall ornamental grass. And if you want an extra bit of beauty, try the 'Japonica' corn which has green, white and pink variegated leaves.

Borage (Borago officinalis)
California poppy (Eschscholtzia californica)
Candytuft (Iberis umbellata)
Chervil (Anthriscus cerefolium)
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
Corn (Zea mays)
Corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas)
Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)
Dill (Anethum graveolens)
Lobelia (Lobelia erinus)
Meadow foam (Limnanthes douglasii)
Mexican sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia)
Pincushion flower, aka Sweet scabious (Scabiosa atropurpurea)
Signet ('Gem') marigolds (Tagetes tenuifolia)
Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus)
Sweet alyssum (Lobularia maritima)
Sweet marjoram (Origanum majorana)
Tidy Tips (Layia platyglossa)
Early research on flowers for beneficials has focused primarily on weeds and wildflowers growing around farms, to discover which of these plants farmers might encourage to help with pest control. Gradually, more ornamental plants are being identified, and we now have a very nice list you can choose from:
Asters (Aster alpinus and A. tartaricus )
Angelicas (Angelica )
Anise hyssop (Anastache foeniculum)
Basket of Gold (Aurinia saxatilis)
White lace flower, aka Bishop's weed (Ammi majus)
Blanketflowers (Gaillardia<.i>)
Blue cardinal flower (Lobelia syphilitica)
Bog rosemary (Andromeda polifolia)

Carpet bugleweeds (Ajuga)
Cinquefoils (Potentilla)
Comfrey (Symphytum)
Coneflowers (Echinacea)
Coral vine (Antigonon leptopus)
Coreopsis (Coreopsis)
Crimson thyme (Thymus serpyllum 'Coccineus')
Crocus (Crocus )
Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum)
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis)
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare)
Feverfew (Chrysanthemum parthenium)
Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum)
Golden marguerite (Anthemis tinctoria)
Goldenrod (Solidago)
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus)
Korean mint (Anastache rugosa)
Lavenders (Lavandula)
Lavender globe lily (Allium tanguticum)
Lovage (Levisticum officinale)
Lupines (Lupinus)
Milkweeds (Asclepias)
Mountain Mints (Pycnanthemum muticum and P. virginianum)
Mints (Mentha)
Mountain sandwort (Arenaria montana)
Peonies (Paeonia)
Pincushion flower (Scabiosa caucasica)
Poppy mallow (Callirhoe involucrata)

Stonecrops (Sedum kamtschaticum, S. spurim, S. album)
Fernleaf Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare var. crispum)
Teasel (Dipsacus) Thrift (Armeria maritima)
Green lace flower, aka Toothpick ammi (Ammi visnaga)
Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)
Wood Betony (Stachys officinalis)
Yarrows (Achillea)
Patrinia (Patrinia)
Trees and Shrubs
Top choices include willows (for their early spring pollen to provide a food source and get overwintered beneficials off to a strong start), forsythia, firethorn, potentilla, ceanothus, four-winged saltbush (Atriplex canescens), euonymous, and Texas sage (Leucophyllum frutescens).
Cover Crops
Clovers and other soil-building cover crops provide pollen and nectar, alternate insect prey, and shelter. Crimson clover is as beautiful as any "regular" flower, and buckwheat is a standout because it grows very, very fast and has extrafloral nectaries that attract a wide variety of beneficials even before it begins blooming.
Plants that Shelter Beneficials
Clump-forming grasses:
Blue wildrye (Elymus glaucus)
Deer grass (Muhlenbergia rigens)
Orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata)
Tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia caespitosa)
Velvet grass (Holcus lanatus)
Permanent plantings of perennials, trees and shrubs.
Especially good are dense low-growing groundcovers, perennial cover crops, and certain perennial flowers with woody stems and/or dense crowns, such as yarrows, comfrey, and coneflowers. Comfrey provides highly attractive hibernation sites for spiders, with up to 240 spiders per square yard, compared to only 10 spiders per square yard in adjoining wheat fields.
These plant lists were compiled from a variety of scientific sources, including Enhancing Biological Control—Habitat Management to Promote Natural Enemies of Agricultural Pests, edited by Charles H. Pickett and Robert L. Bugg, and a 3-year study of 170 species of ornamental plants by Mohammed Al-Doghairi and Whitney Cranshaw, Ph.D. of Colorado State University.

Should you really be questioning why on a forum mainly consisting of teenage and young adult fans of a children's video game that said teenagers and young adults may possibly also be interested in a little girls' cartoon?
I can't say I've enjoyed many of the literature I've been forced to read in school, and the Great Gatsby is no exception. The only ones I did enjoy were two short stories, The Ransom of Red Chief by O. Henry and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Kurt Vonnegut (they're both hilarious). Also of note would be several of Shakespeare's works, which I don't completely enjoy because of the dry dialogue (I don't enjoy reading anything in older variants of English, it's way too grating to me), but they do have good plots.

Joke of the day
Every man needs a go-to joke.
Peace of Mind A man is walking along the beach when he discovers a strange bottle. He rubs it and a genie comes out and promises to grant him one wish. The man thinks about it for a moment and says: "My wish is for peace in the Middle East." The genie looks concerned and then says: "I'm sorry, but that's just not possible. Some things can't be changed. Do you have another wish?" The guy says, 'Well, for my whole life, I've never received oral sex from my wife. That would be my wish." The genie pauses for another moment and then says: "How would you define 'peace'?"
Playing Chicken A man goes to a psychiatrist and says: "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." The doctor says: "Why don't you have him admitted to a hospital?" The guy says: "We would, but we need the eggs."
Puddle Jumping Three little ducks go into a bar. "Hello, what's your name?" the bartender asks the first duck. "Huey," he replies. "How's your day been, Huey?" the bartender asks. "Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Been in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?" smiles Huey. "That's nice," says the bartender, turning to the second duck. "Hi, and what's your name?" "Dewey," comes the answer from duck number two. "So how's your day been, Dewey?" asks the bartender. "Great. I've had a ball, too. Been in and out of puddles all day, as well. What more could a duck want?" The barman turns to the third duck and says: "So, you must be Louie?" "No," she says, batting her eyelashes. "My name is Puddles."
Paid in Full Two guys are walking down the street when a mugger approaches them and demands their money. They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash. Just then, one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill. "Here's that $20 I owe you," he says.
Old Dogs, New Tricks One day, an old German shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of lunch. The old German shepherd thinks: "Oh, I'm in deep trouble now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German shepherd exclaims loudly: "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him, and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!" says the panther. "That was close! That old German shepherd nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther. The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says: "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" Now, the old German shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks: "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet. Just when they get close enough to hear, the old German shepherd says: "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!" Moral of this story: Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery, and B.S. and brilliance only come with age and experience.
Washed Away An old Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She gets down on her knees and pleads: "Please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back." Suddenly, a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. The grandmother looks up to heaven and says: "He had a hat!"
Second-Hand Goods A divorced man bumps into his ex-wife's new husband at a party. After knocking back a few drinks, he walks over to the guy and sneers: "So, how do you like using second-hand goods?" "Doesn't bother me," the new husband replies. "Once you get past the first three inches, it's all brand new."

Oprah Winfrey gives $1 million to The Campaign for Cottage Health System
December 24, 2008 The fundraising campaign to rebuild Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital has received a significant boost from one of the community's well-loved celebrities with the announcement of a $1 million gift from Montecito resident Oprah Winfrey.
The donation, earmarked for The Campaign for Cottage Health System by The Oprah Winfrey Foundation based in Chicago, Illinois, comes at the close of the not-for-profit hospital's largest fundraising effort ever—a five-year drive to raise $100 million to support the rebuilding of the largest acute-care hospital on the California coast between Los Angeles and the Bay Area. In pledging her financial support to Cottage, Ms Winfrey, a part-time local resident since the early 2000s, indicated to Cottage president and CEO Ron Werft how much she appreciated the hospital's dedication to the health and well-being of the community, and that it was given "with the hope that your great work will continue to thrive." Said Mr Werft, "Oprah has changed so many lives throughout the world. Her generous support of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital will now enhance the lives of countless Central Coast residents for generations to come." Construction on the new Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital began in 2005 and is expected to cost more than $700 million. The first two patient pavilions will be completed in 2011.

The gift of flowers is a long-standing tradition during times of joy and times of sorrow. When searching for an elaborate gesture, turn to Sam's Club bulk lilies in 50, 80, or 150 stems sure to make a lasting impression. The fresh white hue of a Calla Lily, the vibrant pinks of the Starfighter or the whimsical blooms of the Alstroemeria are breathtaking gifts regardless of the quantities you send.
Sam's Club offers an amazing assortment that captures all colors and shades within the lily family. Bulk lilies in oranges, yellows, pinks, and purples can be ordered with ease and delivered to your recipient. Starting at a little over two dozen flowers and ranging to totals in the hundreds you can find a floral gift for everyone on your list.
Part of the fun is selecting a lily suitable for the event! Consider choosing by bloom style or their favorite color for a thoughtful present. The Asiatic lilies feature longer petals that come to a curved point and easily add depth and life to the bouquet. Much like the Asiatic version, the Starfighter also features a larger bloom in the traditional pink ranging from deep shades to delicate hues.

Finnair will transport all equipment that a person with reduced mobility needs for his or her well-being free of charge, provided that the passenger informs us of such equipment when booking or purchasing their flights and that there is room for the equipment in the hold of the aircraft. Please inform us about any need for special assistance at least 48 hours before your flight departure.
When you make your flight booking, you should provide us with specific information concerning the needs of any passengers travelling with a wheelchair – please see the list below for more details. This will enable us to anticipate their need for assistance.
Discounts for persons escorting passengers with reduced mobility
If you are assisting a passenger with reduced mobility on a domestic flight in Finland, you can get a discount on your flight ticket(s). As an escort, you are eligible for a discount if you book return tickets for the same flights as the person you are assisting, return on the next available flight or purchase a one-way ticket. You can only purchase discount tickets from Finnair customer care.
Advance-information requirements
If you are travelling with a wheelchair, we require the following information in advance:
- Will you bring your own wheelchair with you, or do you need to borrow one at the airport?
- Is your wheelchair operated manually or electrically, and is it foldable?
- If your wheelchair is electrically operated, is the power source a dry or wet battery? In addition, if it is difficult for you to communicate – for linguistic or other reasons – we also need instructions for removing the battery.
- Are you travelling alone or will you be accompanied by someone else, such as an assistant?
- Will you need pushing assistance at the airport or are you able to move from check-in to the departure gate unassisted?
- Are you able to move from the wheelchair into the aircraft seat unassisted, or will you require assistance or a lifting chair?
- Do you need help using the stairs?
- Is it easier for you to sit on a given side of the aisle as a result of your reduced mobility?
- Will you bring additional medical or medicinal aids on board?
At the airport
A special service desk is available at some airports for passengers needing assistance.
We aim to have you sit in your own wheelchair for as long as possible. Often, this means all the way up to the door of the plane, where we'll provide all the assistance you need to board the aircraft – using a lifting chair if necessary. Once you are safely on the plane, your wheelchair will be stowed in the hold.
At some airports this practice may vary, for safety reasons or due to the location of lifts or stairs in the airport buildings. In such cases, you will be transferred into an airport wheelchair at check-in and your own wheelchair will be loaded into the hold of the aircraft.
You should pack any medication that you may require during your flight into your carry-on baggage.

Bea Polka Dot Crew Socks
Cashmere wool blend dot socks in pretty colors that warm your toes and make you smile. Made in the USA.
Label says: Fits shoe size 5-10, we believe men's shoe size 5 will indeed fit these and if you usually fit into the "one size" range of socks these will be perfect.
Additional Info: Also available in a larger footed midcalf, a knee high and in a baby sock.
Now, we know wool isn't the first thing you think about putting on your feet in the heat, but did you know it actually helps keep your feet cool? it's true, the same ability to keep the warmth of your feet in during the cold months keeps the heat out in warmer weather. Plus, your feet actually stay drier, double bonus!
Angora fiber sourced from a certifiably humane company in China.
Fiber Content: 36% Virgin wool, 23% nylon, 25% viscose, 9% cashmere, 6% angora, 1% spandex.
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low temp. We are always wary of washing wool in a machine, so hand washing may be best, although there is a high nylon/viscose content so a gentle washing may be safe.
Label: B.ella
How high up the leg do these come? Are they near the knee?
You guys are always so amazing about sharing how different items fit on different bodies (which helps ensure happy customers!). I love your selection, and my friends always know that a Sock Dreams gift certificate never goes amiss as a gift in this household!

Kent State Campus Safety
Kent State University has one of the safest campuses in the nation, according to the FBI's annual Uniformed Crime Report. A nationwide study by the Consortium for Higher Education Campus Crime Research ranked Kent State in the lowest two percent of crime for universities of comparable size.
On the Kent Campus, Kent State Police Services is the only nationally accredited law enforcement agency at an Ohio public university and was one of the first university police departments in the nation to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies. The designation recognizes the Kent State police department as a select organization that consistently demonstrates excellence and serves as a model for police, sheriff and other law enforcement agencies around the country.
Kent State Police Services is empowered by the State of Ohio to enforce state laws and is directed by the university's board of trustees to enforce certain rules and regulations of the university. Essentially, the police officers at the university have the same authority as their state and municipal counterparts.

MACAU — A Chinese fighter's victory at a Macau showdown brings the world's top casino market a step closer to challenging Las Vegas for dominance of another Sin City staple: big-time boxing matches.
Macau, which long ago eclipsed Vegas as the world's top gambling city, is now looking to add to its allure by holding the kind of boxing bouts that Las Vegas is known for.
The tiny Chinese enclave is hosting a series of high-profile bouts this year featuring a pair of Asian stars: Chinese two-time Olympic gold medalist Zou Shiming and Philippine fighter Manny Pacquiao.
Zou made his professional debut in April, winning the "Fists of Gold" match at Macau's Venetian resort. He returned for a second installment of the series on Saturday night, defeating his Mexican opponent in a unanimous decision at the Cotai Arena.
Zou's rise has helped boost boxing's popularity among fans in China, where the sport was banned until the mid-1980s. Chinese fans, mostly subdued for the six preliminary "undercard" fights, rose to their feet for the main event, calling out "Jia you!" — Chinese for "Let's go!" — and stomping their feet as Zou fought a six-round flyweight match with Jesus Ortega.
Now all eyes are on the "Clash in Cotai" in November, featuring Pacquiao for the main event and Zou on the undercard. Organizers say it'll be the biggest professional boxing match ever held in China. It'll also be the first outside of the U.S. since 2006 for the Filipino superstar, who has lost his two last bouts.
Boxing's emergence in Macau is another reminder of how the global gambling industry's center of gravity has shifted to the East thanks to rising incomes in China. The former Portuguese colony, now a semiautonomous region of China, overtook the Las Vegas Strip in 2006 as the world's most lucrative gambling market. Last year it raked in $36 billion in gambling revenue, six times more than the Strip. But authorities want Macau to be known for more than gambling and see big events as a way to turn the city, which has a lingering reputation for seediness and corruption, into a broader tourist destination.
Zou's celebrated trainer, Los Angeles-based Freddie Roach, left no doubt about how the focus has changed in the boxing world.
"I think I've got a new home," he said at a press conference last week, referring to the Venetian, the flagship casino resort of billionaire Sheldon Adelson's Macau casino arm, Sands China Ltd. "Macau has become the capital of the boxing world."
For promoter Top Rank, it's a chance to get a head start on bringing the sport to the huge, untapped market in China. Boxing was banned under Communist Party Chairman Mao Zedong for being too violent and too Western. It wasn't until 1986 that the ban was lifted.
The sport is nowhere near as popular in China as soccer or basketball, but Top Rank boss Bob Arum sees a vast potential market of new fans. Key to his plan is Zou, who became a celebrity in China after winning a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics and another at the London Olympics.
Zou "has energized people who follow sports in China," said Arum. "The number of people who watched his last fight in China was quite remarkable, anywhere between 100 million to 200 million homes based on the surveys we've had done. That's outstanding. Most countries don't even have that many people."
Top Rank put on a Vegas-style production for the Macau fights, complete with spotlights, scantily-clad "ring girls" and announcer Michael Buffer, best known for his catchphrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!" Arum said production costs for a Macau show amount to $500,000, about the same as for bouts in Vegas.
Arum said he envisions Top Rank, which organizes 60 boxing shows a year, eventually holding four to six a year in Macau. Las Vegas, in comparison, is hosting a dozen pro bouts this year.
For Arum, the big prize in bringing boxing to China is the potential for pay per view profits that would dwarf those in the U.S.
Zou's fights were carried on state broadcaster CCTV. Arum had hoped to offer the Pacquiao fight on pay per view but he said lining up a deal with potential partners has been harder than expected. China's broadcasting industry is dominated by state-run broadcasters while premium cable and satellite channels have little role to play.
One idea had been to offer the November fight for $5 in China on smartphones. That's a fraction of the $50-$60 typically charged to see a live bout on cable in the U.S but the sheer numbers of potential viewers in a country with more than 1 billion people would make up the difference.
"We were hoping to do pay per view in China but we are not anywhere near ready to do it yet. That's something for next year and the year after," he said.

Or download it. Every way is working anyway.
I just want to say after almost a week, that they finally fixed "ASIC hang happened" which in my case was causing hangs during going sleep (not wakeup - it always worked). I'm using HD 5770 on Debian Sid and I'm so happy with full working sleep/wakeup after almost a year of struggle with that.
Any previsions for a new beta driver with Debian amd64 xorg 1.12 support?
What's your distro?
I use Fedora 17 GNOME 64-bit on Kernel 3.3.7.
for x in $(objdump -d $DRIVER|awk '/call/&&/EnableLogo/{print "\\x"$2"\\x"$3"\\x"$4"\\x"$5"\\x"$6}'); do
sed -i "s/$x/\x90\x90\x90\x90\x90/g" $DRIVER
Save as fixwatermark.sh
chmod +x to make it executable
su -c 'sh ./fixwatermark.sh'
then log out and back in.
That worked for me.
Again, this is on kernel 3.3.7 for Fedora 17 64-bit.
using the beta on my 7850 with the watermark patch
performance is about the same, but it does fix a texture rendering problem in vdrift
also not compatible with kernel 3.4.x but there might be hacks for that too ...
Fianally a driver that doesn't crash my laptop (E350, HD6310) on suspend/resume! But it took AMD over a year to fix this bug and that's really unacceptable. I had a crash with serious graphic corruption though when changing the backligt so it's not stable enough yet but I'm looking forward to the final version!

Phils banking on Burnett in club debut vs. Texas
Rangers' Perez to be opposite veteran Philadelphia right-hander
ARLINGTON -- A.J. Burnett left the Pirates for the Phillies because he said he wanted to be closer to home.
But Burnett, who lives outside Baltimore, also hopes the Phillies can recapture their winning ways in 2014. He tries to give them their second consecutive victory Tuesday in his Phillies debut against the Rangers at Globe Life Park. He faces Rangers left-hander Martin Perez.
Both hope to keep the ball down in the strike zone a little more than their predecessors. The teams combined for 24 runs on Opening Day.
If Burnett puts up the numbers he posted the past two seasons in Pittsburgh, the Phillies could have one of the more formidable trios in baseball with Burnett, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels, who hopes to rejoin the rotation before the end of April.
Perez was 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in four Cactus League games for Texas.
"He's throwing the ball well," manager Ron Washington said. "He's keeping it down in the zone. There will be some nerves, but once he gets past that and the first inning, it will be baseball as usual."
The last time Perez took the mound in Arlington was in the 2013 American League Wild Card Game, and he was the pitcher of record in a 5-2 loss to the Rays. He is entering his first full season in the big leagues. He was 10-6 with a 3.62 ERA in 20 starts last season and was named the Rangers' Rookie of the Year.
"I'm excited," Perez said. "I just need to go out there and do my job, stay under control, make my pitches. I'm looking forward to it."
Phillies: Hamels back to work
Hamels joined the Phillies for Opening Day on Monday, but he plans to pitch in a Minor League game Tuesday at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla. It will be his second start of the spring since falling behind schedule because of inflammation in his left shoulder. Hamels figures he will need six starts before he is ready to rejoin the Phillies' rotation.
If he continues on his current schedule, he could rejoin the team in the final week of April.
"I feel normal now," Hamels said. "That's the best thing. I can go to sleep at night and have the understanding I'm not going to wake up sore as I would if something was wrong."
Rangers: Wilson gets start at second
Josh Wilson started at second base for the Rangers on Opening Day in place of Jurickson Profar, and J.P. Arencibia was behind the plate with Geovany Soto on the disabled list. Washington said Donnie Murphy will also get time at second base.
"We'll take it a day at a time and see where it goes," Washington said.
The Rangers started the season with three catchers, with Robinson Chirinos and Chris Gimenez backing up Arencibia. Washington said Arencibia may start out getting a "little bit of the bulk of playing time," but Chirinos had an excellent spring and will play as well. Gimenez was claimed off waivers from the Athletics on Friday. The Rangers are going with three catchers to start the season because they don't need to add fifth starter Nick Martinez to the 25-man roster until he pitches against the Rays on Saturday.
Worth Noting
• Yu Darvish, who opened the season on the disabled list with stiffness in his neck, is scheduled to throw on the side on Tuesday. Darvish will likely need one more side session -- either an extended bullpen session or a simulated game before he comes off the disabled list.
• Colby Lewis is scheduled to pitch in a Minor League exhibition game between Triple-A Round Rock and Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. He is scheduled to throw 90 pitches. After that, the Rangers will decide if he needs another game in the Minors or is ready to return to the Major Leagues for the first time since July 18, 2012.
• Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins set a National League record for shortstops Monday with his 14th consecutive Opening Day start for the same franchise. Cincinnati's Dave Concepcion held the previous mark with 13. Rollins also tied Baltimore's Cal Ripken Jr. for the big league record. Ripken started 14 straight from 1983-96.
