Concerns about safety and side effects for the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine - one of the newest shots recommended for adolescents - has increased among parents: 16% cited these fears as the main reason they did not have their daughters vaccinated in 2010, up from 5% in 2008, a new study finds.
And the percentage of parents who said they did not intend to vaccinate their daughters against HPV in the next 12 months also grew, from 40% in 2008 to 41% in 2009 to 44% in 2010, even as parents reported increasing physician recommendations to get the shot, says the study in April's Pediatrics, released online Monday.
(Although now recommended for both girls and boys at age 11 or 12, the HPV vaccine was not widely prescribed for males at the time.)
HPV, a family of sexually transmitted viruses linked to tumors of the cervix, head and neck and several organs, is passed on through genital contact, most often during vaginal and anal sex, but can also be passed on during oral sex.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV vaccines offer the best protection to girls and boys who receive all three vaccine doses and have time to develop an immune response before being sexually active with another person.
Parental anxiety over the safety of other new adolescent vaccines - the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis booster Tdap, (and a version called Td without the pertussis portion) and the meningococcal disease shot MCV4 - did not show a similar increase.
While the up-to-date immunization rates rose for all those vaccines, the proportion of girls fully immunized against HPV (three doses over six months) was substantially lower than the proportion for the other two vaccines.
"You'd expect as people get more familiar with a vaccine that they would actually become more comfortable with it," says Paul Darden, professor of pediatrics at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and co-author of the study. "That doesn't seem to be the case with HPV," he says.
The findings suggests that additional approaches - from detailed discussions about vaccine safety and effectiveness between parents and doctors to additional "social media sorts of things" - may be needed to improve HPV immunization rates, says Darden.
He and colleagues analyzed data from the parents' report portion of the 2008-2010 National Immunization Survey of Teens, a government phone survey of households with adolescents ages 13 to 17.
It found that as of 2010, 81% of teens had the Tdap/Td vaccines and 63% had the MCV4 vaccine. Only 32% of girls were immunized against HPV.
More recent vaccination data from 2011, released after the new analysis, shows 85% of teens had the Tdap/Td vaccines; 71% had the MCV4 vaccine; and 35% of male and female teens were immunized against HPV.
The most frequent reasons given by parents for not vaccinating their teens with Tdap/Td and MCV4 in 2010 were similar and consistent over the three years but were more diverse and changed significantly when it came to the HPV immunization: 9% said it was not recommended; 17% said it was not needed/not necessary; 16% cited safety concerns/side effects; 11% said it was because their daughter was not sexually active.
(A study co-author has done work for Merck, which makes an HPV and Td vaccine, but the study was funded through a grant from the Department of Health and Human Services.)
Although lack of sexual activity declined as a key reason for parents' rejection of the vaccine (down from 14% in 2008), it "again points to parental misunderstanding about HPV vaccination" and suggests that more work is needed to help some parents understand the vaccination, says Gregory Zimet, professor of pediatrics and clinical psychology at Indiana University School of Medicine. He was not involved in the study
"It's particularly concerning that parental worries about safety have increased, given that evidence for the safety of HPV vaccination has increased over the same time period," says Zimet. "In fact, the evidence is overwhelmingly persuasive that HPV vaccines are quite safe
The first HPV vaccine was licensed in 2006, and even then "there was very strong evidence that it was safe," says Jessica Kahn, professor of pediatrics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. She was not involved in the study. That evidence "only continues to increase as tens of millions of doses have been administered and no evidence of safety concerns has emerged," says Kahn.

Murray TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFFWINCHENDON A 70-year-old man was killed in a windswept, two-alarm fire that destroyed his home at 95 Beachview Drive shortly before 7 p.m. Friday. Timothy J. Connolly, a spokesman for District Attorney Joseph D. Early, said today that the body of Donald Willett was found in the ruins of the house Friday night. Fire Chief Thomas Smith said the 2-1/2-story wooden house was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived and there were reports that a person was trapped inside. Search crews were forced out of the building by intense heat and by live power lines near the entrance, according to the chief. Further attempts to enter the house were thwarted by heavy flames and the building's imminent collapse, he said. A tanker shuttle was organized using water tankers from Ashburnham, Templeton, Phillipston, Ashby and the New Hampshire communities of Rindge, Jaffrey and Troy. Heavy winds and icy conditions hampered firefighters' efforts, according to Chief Smith. Crews were sent into a nearby home when it was reported that embers from the fire had entered the attic area. Firefighters were able to limit damage to the second home to exterior heat damage. Once the fire was out, a joint investigation by Winchendon fire and police officials, the state fire marshal's office and state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office led to the discovery of the victim's body, Chief Smith said. Records from the Worcester County Registry of Deeds identify the owners of the single-family house as Mr. Willett and Viviane Willett. While the cause remains under investigation, Chief Smith said the fire has been deemed accidental. The Gardner and Royalston fire departments assisted at the scene, and firefighters from Fitzwilliam, N.H., covered the local fire station. The Highway Department spread sand at the icy fire scene.

Men's acceptance of prostitution is one of a cluster of attitudes that encourages and justifies violence against women. Violent behaviours against women have been associated with attitudes that promote men's beliefs that they are entitled to sexual access to women, are superior to women and are licensed as sexual aggressors. The purpose of the research was to assess men's attitudes toward women in prostitution and their awareness of and use of trafficking victims, with the goal of ultimately developing prostitution and trafficking prevention programmes.

1923 Ford T Roadster - Close To Perfection
Written by on March 1, 2009 Deryl Borders' '23 T RoadsterIn the street rod world, you'll find a lot of folks who are perfectionists. For these people, mulling over even the smallest details on a car is a full-time job, and Deryl Borders, from Simpsonville, South Carolina, feels qualified to be a member of that group.
That type of attention to detail usually carries over into all aspects of life, but when that attention is directed towards a hot rod, you usually get something special out of the deal. When Borders decided he'd like to have a T-bucket in his garage, it was a combination of ideas and concepts he'd formulated over a period of time that led him to assemble his unique '23.
As a child (which was over 50 years ago), he can remember working in the garage with his dad on Flathead motors. That early training never left him, and today Deryl still believes there is no other sound like a Flathead. But Border's T almost didn't happen, had it not been for a chance meeting he'd had at the Goodguys' show at Lowe's Motor Speedway outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. Deryl had come upon a gent who was selling a painted T chassis and a primered T body, and the thought of building one began to percolate in his head. He took the gentleman's name and number and left.
After the show, figuring he might need some help in building a car the way he wanted to, Deryl contacted Tim Ohlson from nearby Concord. Tim owns Carolina Street Car, a shop well-versed in transforming average-looking vehicles into something unique. After the two talked about what Deryl wanted to do with his project, Deryl looked up the gent from the show and bought the body and frame from him. But as they soon found out, it turned out Tim was the original builder of the unfinished car, had sold it to the gent Deryl had talked to, so the project was now back in the original builder's hands!
The basic pieces Deryl had picked up were from Total Performance, a company supplying T components to the hot rod world for more than 35 years. Work on the car began with setting up the chassis, which was dialed in with a wheelbase of 99.5 inches. Up front, the main suspension pieces include a dropped tube axle and hairpins coupled to a set of friction shocks. Out back, an eight-inch rear (3.08:1) utilizes another set of hairpins, a Watts link, and a pair of coilover shocks. Disc brakes are found on each corner; Lincoln Mark VII with Camaro calipers in the rear and Wilwood discs up front. Making the chassis a roller are 15x4 and 15x10 wheels from Halibrand, with Nankang 135-15 rubber fore and big 29x2.5 Mickey Thompsons aft.
As anyone who has owned a T-bucket already knows, showcasing the engine is a big part of 'bucket ownership, as having the engine out in the open is a perfect opportunity to expose all the chrome and paint. For Deryl, no other motor than a Flattie would be used in this project. He hooked up with Andy Mullikin from Piedmont, South Carolina, because, as Deryl puts it: "Andy has forgotten more about Flatheads than I'll ever know. These guys are a dying breed."
Andy started with a block that was bored .040 as well as an Isky Max-1 cam and Ross pistons. Up top, a pair of aluminum Offenhauser heads work with an Offy intake capped with a triple carb setup. A Walker radiator helps keep the Flattie running cool while an MSD ignition system supplies the spark, and exhaust exits through Sanderson headers. To help get the T down the road, the 245-inch Ford mates to a C4 trans, which is equipped with a Lokar shifter.
Even though most T-buckets, by their nature, are a little over-the-top when it comes to paint jobs, Deryl's ride is finished with a subtle flame job (if any flame job could be considered subtle). The BASF Candy Tangerine flames, applied by Collision Specialties in Monroe, North Carolina, contrast the 2008 Lexus Gold Almond Metallic shade used on the rest of the body. The frame is done with the same hue as the flames, and classic hot rod pinstriping from Rodney Fowler at Hot Rod Grafixxx in Greer, South Carolina, adds just the perfect touch.
The shade of leather used by Elford Efrid from Country Classic Interior in China Grove, North Carolina, matches the flames, and was applied to the bench seat in a classic diamond tuft pattern. As a young boy Elford learned the diamond tufting trade from his father, who was in the furniture business (Elford is now teaching his son to carry on the family business). A burnt orange automotive loop carpet covers the floor, closely matching the shade of the flames.
Up on the dash is a quartet of white-faced VDO Cockpit Royal gauges, just to the right of the wood-trimmed Grant steering wheel that is bolted to a Total Performance column. Other unique pieces found in and around the car are the polished stainless steel firewall, a custom step rail on each side of the body, and a top for the T that has a flame pattern stitched into it.
More of Fowler's pinstriping can be found on the tailgate, and it adds just the right amount of "splash," as do the chrome lantern brake light housings or the flying V8 radiator cap, which was milled from a solid 3x3x8 block of aluminum and then polished to perfection.
But perfection is what Deryl wanted and it's what he feels he got when the car was finished in time for the 10th T-Bucket Nationals held in Springfield, Illinois, last year. And even though you might find a few more Flathead-powered Ts at that type of convention, we're confident that you won't ever see another one quite like the one Deryl Borders owns.

'We're the Millers' plays it too safe
As meaningless catchphrases go, "Nobody Ever Tries to Make a Bad Movie" is Hollywood's version of YOLO. While you're likely to see a lot more "You Only Live Once" T-shirts this summer, NETTMABM actually matters.
Because well-intentioned box-office flops are the reason so many movies, including "We're the Millers," opening in theaters Wednesday, play it painfully safe. »Read Full Article(2)

About Jonathan Green
Jonathan went from being a debate team loser to a vip club hero. He travels the world teaching men how to meet and attract beautiful women – but his life wasn't always this good.
Jonathan went to an all boys high school and one of the few colleges left in America where they keep the boys on one side of a lake, and the girls on the other. As a result he had few dates and fewer girlfriends.
He grew up not really knowing exactly how to talk or connect with women and his few relationships started by accident. He was just waiting for girls to choose him, but he never knew why they did. One day he picked up a book about meeting women and realized there is a way to attract them.

The latex outfit on Ryoko Murakami´s tits leaves nothing to the imagination, which is fine for her date for the night that gets a handful of tits before she gets a mouthful of cock. She licks his prick up and down to get it soaked, and then titty fucks it. Her mouth does the rest of the work, sucking him dry and swallowing every drop of cum for his pleasure.
Her sexy nurse´s outfit turns him on, but what gets this guy going about Ryoko Murakami is how well this MILF sucks his dick. He´s hard when she climbs her sexy body in his lap to kiss him and tease him, but he´s dripping in her mouth when she´s sucking and stroking his erection. She´s got it down to a science, and gets a mouthful of spunk as a reward.
Guys just imagine you are in a room with lots of sexy and beautiful girls. This video will give you the real pleasure of that. In this video you will see more then three girls with a lucky guy in a room. They all have tight and attractive breasts with nice figure. They all lick his full body first and then started to give him blowjob. The girls were just in panty and their ass was looking attractive also. Then they all ate the cum of that man. This video is really awesome and mind blowing for the group sex lovers.
Everyone´s getting their dicks sucked in this wild blowjob orgy, as Ryoko Murakami, Rin Misaki, Mai Kimura, and Ren Fujisaki take turns sucking any dick they can get their lips around. You can´t help but be jealous of these guys as they´re getting their cocks sucked, especially when they start to shoot their loads down these cum loving girl´s throats.
With skilled hands and a talented tongue, MILF Ryoko Murakami can make any man cum without even putting his dick in her pussy. She slowly makes her way down his body with her lips while stroking his dick, kissing him and jerking him off so that he´s almost ready to explode when she starts to suck. Soon enough, he´s erupting all inside her mouth.

A middle school boy has been suspended from school for 10 days and faces expulsion after buying a pocket knife from another student and taking it home to use in his fishing tackle box, according to the boy's father.
John Bogner of California said another student approached his 11-year-old son one day last week and asked if he wanted to buy a pocket knife. His son agreed and took the knife home that afternoon, where he left it the next school day.
At school the next day the son paid the other boy $2 for the knife, the father said.
Later that day, however, the boy who sold the pocket knife was caught selling other knives, according to the father. That boy told the school's administrators he had also sold a knife to Bogner's son.
Administrators at Esperanza Middle School dealt with the incident quickly, giving Bogner's son 10 days of out-of-school suspension and scheduling an expulsion hearing at the end of that period, the boy's father said. That is the maximum penalty for an "other weapons" offense based on the county's student code of conduct.
School administrators said they would not comment on the specifics of the incident.
Mike Wyant, the school system's safety and security director, said there were three boys involved in the incident at Esperanza when the school resource officer intervened. One boy was charged by the police, Wyant said.
"The protocol was followed," based on his initial review of the matter, he said Tuesday.
According to the boy's father, school administrators rushed to the disciplinary consequences.
"My son was wrong for doing it," Bogner said. However, he said, the punishment should have matched the crime, and with no intent of using the knife at school, 10 days suspension was too severe.
Bogner said he would have envisioned several days of in-school intervention or, at the worst, a few days of out-of-school suspension, but not the maximum penalty.
"I am trying to go through an appeal process with the school board," the father said this week.
Bogner said his son was "a straight A student," through elementary school, he said. The boy was adjusting to middle school life well, the father said, participating in after-school sports and other activities and getting A's and B's.
The sixth-grader had never had a discipline issue before the knife incident, Bogner said. He also had yet to miss a day of school so far this year.
"He's home now. He's missing all kinds of days of school now," the father said.
The father said that school administrators asked his son if he had been in trouble before, but never officially looked into it. He transferred to St. Mary's public schools this year after his father moved from Calvert County.
Administrators did not take his prior clean record of behavior and good grades into account, the father said. "I think it's a big show of power," he said.
On the same day the boy bought the knife, school administrators updated the school board at a scheduled meeting on changes to suspension policy and upcoming changes at the Maryland State Department of Education level. St. Mary's and other Maryland school districts have been urged by the state board of education to do away with any "zero tolerance" policies with regard to discipline.
The aim of the rules is to reduce the time students spend out of school for discipline problems. The number of suspensions given to black students in St. Mary's public schools dropped from 967 to 904 during the last two years.
Local school board members generally praised the rules, especially the concept of keeping students in school to learn.
Part of the new policy hinges on what are considered "violent" offenses, school administrators said. Only those type of offenses labeled as violent should result in out-of-school suspensions of five or more days.
School board member Mary Washington said this Tuesday she would not comment on the specific incident at Esperanza Middle School. She said that type of transaction should have been done outside of the school with a parent's involvement, adding an example of a Boy Scout purchasing a pocket knife.
Washington said bringing any weapon to a school is a major offense, and it is the responsibility of school employees to keep students safe.
"We don't want weapons in school, we don't want drugs in school," Washington said. "We just want all students to be safe."
She said that when a student is suspended, they do have access to schoolwork to do at home.
Board member Cathy Allen said she would not comment on the specific incident, but that she believed school officials never used a zero-tolerance approach to discpline and that they used progressive discipline, upping the consequences for successive infractions.
According to an annual report on the number of suspensions in Maryland schools, Esperanza had the most offenses among St. Mary's schools in 2010-2011, the most recent data available. That year there were six weapons violations at Esperanza that resulted in suspension. There were 35 weapons violations at all county schools out of the more than 2,000 incidents that resulted in suspensions during the 201-2011 school year.

I am SO excited to have all three of these guys!! Sorry about the horrible ipad pic, but it is truly awesome to have a brand new figure representing each major era of MOTU. And before the NA and POP peeps tear me a new one for that, I'm counting Randor as covering all vintage.
And Patrick, I'm 100% with you on all of your OP!

The Cradle Will Rock As I'm Drivin' Down Highway 40 In My Big Ol' Pick Up Truck.
Castle Grayskullman is amazing. Too bad it's the only one I'll have to order separately as I don't have a 30th anniversary sub...
Dekker is a good figure, but I wouldn't have bought him if I had no subscription - the green Clawful shield is perfect for him. It makes him feel complete.
Couldn't be less interested in that Randor, so mine will be sold (next month when he arrives...).
Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!
Hope they release GSM's weapons in a future weapons pack. I like them, but not spending $30+ just to get them.
Also wished we got an extra Randor head that was crownless, or had the 200X crown... would have liked to have used it on the first version of Randor.
Anyone used Randor's goblet with Skeletor yet? That's where mine shall be going.
I'm so jealous right now LoL. Mine were only shipped yesterday...
Maybe i'm mixing up my Randor's but weren't there a number of ppl who were clamouring for this version of him? Or was it Captain Randor from 200X? He doesn't seem to be a popular choice of a variant from what i gather.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Well, I´m truly happy for all fans and collectors that enjoy this particular Randor, much as I hope for equal happiness if I should ever get Hawke from the 200x series. And I do honor what he means for MOTUC in regards of the implementation of Filmation characters. But he is SOOOOOOOO boring to me. The color scheme hurts in my eyes, the bathrobe doesn´t do anything for me and the yellow colors to better match the cartoon look instead of gold (which in the cartoon show was just a matter of impossibility, not of design choice).... If he weren´t in the sub, I would have never got him. And I have every other figure ever made. Even Spector and Laser-Lot. And even though I really don´t enjoy these two too much, they will be much more prominent on display than just-got-out-of-bed-Randor.
Positivity, folks!
Let´s all agree to love MOTU enough to let others love MOTU, too!
Thanks for the quick pics. I'll be ordering CGM in a few short hours.
But like others have said in this thread and elsewhere, Randor does nothing for me. The excited reactions to him that Pixel Dan describes at SDCC and Power Con make no sense to me. Could it be that these shows had hardcore Filmation fans? Are they or we who don't like him the "vocal minority?"

Dekker and Randor look AMAZING, Dekker better than I expected as much as I liked him before this pic makes me LOVE him.
I think he will be my favourite for the month, though Randor is so nostalgic, and for me a perfect figure to get for Christmas time!

I have the original Boogie Board. I've had it for 2 years and it still keeps clearing the screen (When the watch battery on the original dies it just means the clear button stops responding). The rechargeable battery would be a nice addition so it won't have a finite life. Great idea to replace old chalk slates in classrooms, or as a note pad at home. The saving feature is for the more die-hard artists out there who do lots of sketches.
We have a regular Boogie Board (no save feature) and the kids LOVE it! Even just to doodle on it, it's so much better than pen and paper because you don't have to worry about ink/crayon getting everywhere. Even our friend's three year old loves to write on it, and the kids practice math equations together with it. I vote it would be a handy purchase.

Quick answer, the Livescribe pen records audio. Full explanation below. I was going to get today's Woot until I searched online for a replacement stylus. None seem to be available. Regular stylus yes, special stylus for this Woot, no. I have used a Livescribe pen for many years. The pen has a camera in the tip that reads a faint dot pattern on the paper. Yes, it uses special paper. When a new notebook is started a label on the cover is scanned into the pen. With multiple notebooks the pen keeps track of which notebook is used. The Livescribe pen also records audio. You can take paper notes and record the lecture at the same time. Later on when you click on a note page the audio associated with the page will play back. The camera sensor in the tip also allows some apps to be used. Most notebooks have a scientific calculator printed on the cover that used by clicking on it with the pen. Great device, highly recommended!
Whose handwriting is that? I give the handwriting 4/10.

I found it on Amazon today and it's also on the manufacturer's website. According to the description, you can write on the board with any stylus, but only the stuff written with the original stylus can be saved in memory to be transferred to your computer. I'm on my iPod and it's a pain to switch windows when posting, or I'd include the link for the replacement stylus.

"Edit: here's a link: http://www.improvelectronics.com/us/en/boogie-board-LCD-writing-tablet/accessories/rip-replacement-stylus.html" They don't sell the stylus at this site. The're just showing that it exist. I Googled the replacement styles for this Woot, Both Amazon and an independent site said, not available, we don't know when this will be in stock. Not a good sign.
I have the original one- a couple of them. Worst purchase ever. Very little contrast when you write on it... just don't see the point. It seemed like a good idea, but it's snot.
From Improv Electronics support: "Thank you for your interest! Please visit Amazon in the next few weeks as we will be releasing our JOT accessories. Accessories for the RIP are no longer available for purchase, I am sorry I could not be more helpful." Well, that is highly disappointing. Looks like they don't value legacy customers. Wrong, on many levels.

Trology box set owns son!
The Dark Knight Trilogy: Ultimate Collector's Edition arrives September 24, 2013
Meh...sorry, LOVE the first two movies, but not about to spend the money on a box set for all 3 of them...the third one was a HUGE let down for me.
I'm not really a fan of these Nolan movies...except Batman Begins. But I think those that are fans of them were only let down by the third one because their expectations were high. Not because it was an inferior movie.
In all actuality I found it to be much more entertaining than the dark knight... Despite its numerous plotholes.the dark knight was a boring pos wrapped up in an amazing performance by ledger. But 18 minutes of amazing acting does not save a movie over 2 hours long. Two face was ridiculous and pointless. Everything could've been accomplished with Harvey dent. And who cares about the "choice" batman had to make. That same bit was used in the Joel Schumacher batman..
I'm well aware I'm in the minority, but in terms of theses movies The Dark Knight is my LEAST favorite.
1) batman Begins (AWESOME)
2) The Dark Knight rises (entertaining despite plotholes
3) The Dark Knight (boring but great performance)
Yeah, I usually find Nolan's movies waayyy too long.
TDK was perfect until they catch the joker but after that it seems that the movie's starting over. I hardly can watch it until the end. I enjoyed the third one probably because a lot of people said that it sucked so I was excepting a very bad movie but too long also in my opinion.
I loved BB and TDK, but TDKR was just horrible. I could never buy this set, sadly, because of how bad the third movie is.
TDKR is now on HBo and Everytime I catch it I sit and watch. I actually think it shouldve been longer and top out at 3 hrs. TDKR > BB all day everyday.

Tyson Road is a road that resides in southern Vermont. Tyson Road is notorious for its gang warfare and constant police activity. The dominant gang are the "Tyson Road Boys", a ruthless band of killers and coke-fiends. Dubbed "Vermont's Harlem" by prominent author Arthur Vandelay, Tyson Road hit the gang scene in 1999 when there were a record 5 murders in one evening. The resulting investigation showed that it was more than just simple crime, it was an extensive network of smuggling and dealing, prominently cocaine. Despite Tyson Road being just that, a road, it captures Vermont's number one most dangerous city statistic.
"Damn, I just got shot up on Tyson Road."
"Oh No! It's the Tyson Road Boys!"
"Tyson Road ain't nuthin' to f*** with"

this is a beautiful bed and not hard to install. However the very first time we used it and my husband rolled over, the slats broke and the mattress collapsed onto the floor! We are not heavy - my husband weighs 130 lbs. The 3 narrow slats are simply insufficent to support the mattress.
We were surprised how quickly this bed arrived at our doorstep, just a few days after ordering it. The freight company called as we expected and it was easy to set up a time for delivery. My husband was able to get this upstairs in pieces and assembly was fairly easy. It looks much more expensive then the purchase price and we are very happy with this purchase as we have been with all our furniture purchases at Overstock.com.
Beautiful bed for the price. The 3 support boards provided are not of high quality. I went out to local home improvement store and purchased a few 1" x 4" of stronger quality and made better support boards. The bed legs are also just 1" x 4" legs, as opposed to true thicker posts. I added small 'L' brackets on the inside to help support the legs and bed rails. if you are willing to add some additional bracing, this is a nice bed for the cost.
We purchased this bed with foam mattress from Overstock. After reading the description, it was not clear that this bed is not the best for foam mattresses. We bought bunkie boards from a local mattress store, and that has worked well so far. The support beams screw into a beam of low-quality plywood along the side rails. One of them has started splitting after one night, so we are going to add some reinforcement. Overall, the price of the bed is appealing, however we will end up spending an additional $***, including the bunkie boards and supplies to reinforce the weak spots. We do love the look of the bed. It is a good mix of contemporary and traditional. The color is exactly as expected. We are happy with the purchase, and would recommend if you like the style.

Design Professionals Discuss Industry Issues
Have a question and looking for feedback from industry peers? This month, Kitchen & Bath Design News listens in on dialogue between industry professionals as excerpted from the KitchenBathPros.com online Design Discussion Forum.
Raised Dishwashers
I have never installed a raised dishwasher, but I wonder if they are still popular.
Specifically, I am working on a project and want to know whether I should pull the base forward 1-1/2" and let the lower counter die into the side of the dishwasher cabinet.
Response 1
We have a raised dishwasher in our showroom, and most people like it – until they realize it probably won't work in their layout.
It really needs to be the last cabinet in a run, or next to a tall cabinet to avoid breaking up the countertop. We usually deepen the dishwasher cabinet from 24" to 27" to provide a countertop stop.
Response 2
I agree that the raised dishwasher needs to be at the end of a run. I once used a raised dishwasher at the end of a small peninsula (in a small kitchen that needed to accommodate the homeowners' beloved 48" range), and it worked out quite well without adjusting the cabinet depth.
For that installation, I used a 15" base next to the dishwasher to allow enough room for the client to comfortably turn to the left to load the dishwasher. The raised countertop provides the client's guests with a favorite place to "perch" with a glass of wine while chatting with the cooks and, at the same time, keeps them out of the kitchen.
The depth issue with the countertop and the cabinets wasn't quite as important in this instance, because, visually, there wasn't a long run of straight cabinetry to upset the balance.
Hardware Choices
I have a client who wants me to pick out his hardware. Can I get some advice? It's a full-overlay maple cocoa glaze door.
Therefore, should I use all pulls, knobs or a combination of both?
Another question I have is what color would work well with this type of door?
Response 1
To make this really simple, just put knobs on doors, and handles on drawers. Anything in an antique copper or oil-rubbed bronze would look very nice. Would that go with the countertop?
—Design Diva
Response 2
Yes, that would go with the countertop. This house has a lot of tile, earthy colors, high ceilings, and natural-looking tones in the brick surround at the cooktop. It's a beautiful home. I just didn't want to screw it up by choosing the wrong hardware.
Thank you!
Response 3
I like the oil-rubbed bronze as well, but we also just got in some displays featuring Antique Rust hardware.
Depending on what the cabinets and countertops look like, Antique Rust may go well with the design theme. It is definitely worth considering.
By the way, I agree that knobs on doors and handles on drawers are the way to go!
Countertop Supports
I have a client with a granite top that will extend approximately 15" out past the top of the bar. I know this needs additional support and have informed my client of this situation. The kitchen is very contemporary with clean lines, so wood corbels are out.
I need to know where I can get something in a metal – preferably stainless steel or something similar – for a support bracket.
Is there a way to support this without anything showing from the front? The customer prefers nothing showing at all, but if I can find something that is very "designer" looking, then I think she would be happy. Any suggestions?
Response 1
We have been getting a local metal shop to fabricate 1/4"x1" thick metal straps to support our overhangs when necessary – the length is determined by the amount of overhang required. The carpenter notches out the top of the cabinet back and the backer panel so the countertop can remain flush with the top of the cabinets and the brackets get shimmed and fastened inside the back of the cabinets.
Response 2
My clients and I have decided to go with the "hidden" metal supports. Since they really didn't want to see any supports, this is the best solution. When I asked my granite fabricator about it, they said they do that all the time. I'm not sure why they didn't suggest it the first time I asked them for their advice. Thanks for all of your ideas.
Base Cabinet Design
I'm looking for a power strip with a flexible cord to incorporate into a base cabinet drawer to hide cell phone chargers. Does anyone know of a manufacturer/supplier?
Response 1
Could you cut out most of one side of the drawer and mount a power strip to the inside of the cabinet that could be accessed when the drawer is open?
I don't know if this would work or not. It was just a thought.
I was just thinking with the drawer modification, you do not have to worry about the liability issues of a power cord fraying or becoming damaged due to stress from moving.
Custom Downdrafts
I am working on a very small kitchen. It's 8'x11' with a huge chimney chase in one corner, two doors and a window. The homeowner would like to knock out a wall between the dining room and kitchen and have a two-tier peninsula.
The homeowner wanted a slide-in downdraft Pro-style JennAir in the peninsula. In my opinion, it looks really congested with the sink and dishwasher so close in proximity. One of my co-workers came up with an idea to do an inline blower in the basement and run duct up through the knee wall and place some kind of register/vent cover on the backsplash.
Then we could do a cooktop and put a single oven on the other side of the kitchen. The home-owner could then have pot/pan drawers under the cooktop, too. The homeowner does not want any kind of overhead peninsula hood or any kind of downdraft that would interfere with the cabinet below.
Has anyone done something like this before?
Response 1
A guy I work with told me about the Dacor Preference downdraft, designed for remote or inline blower, so the unit only takes up 3-1/2" of the cabinet back.
Response 2
Find standard grease filters and design it using them. Since most filters are wide, we would put them in on an angle to get the most filter surface. You also have to get them out to clean them.
Response 3
We have not done anything custom, but have done the Dacor downdraft behind a Dacor range and, on another project, a Dacor cooktop. The independent unit itself is fairly compact, about 2"-3" in depth and a full 30" wide, if I recall. But they are designed to pop up from the counter, not the backsplash.
When we did it with the cooktop, we did put drawers below. You don't want to cut any of the depth space out of the drawers, because then you would have to make the countertop a little deeper in order to accommodate the downdraft.
I would get rid of the knee wall and use that space for the downdraft instead. Then you could still do your two-tier peninsula behind it. I hope that this helps.
Response 4
We did something like this in my own house about 15 years ago. My downdraft is mounted at the back of the "eating" countertop, and we put the housing into the kneewall, which is beadboard with a removable panel for access on the eating side.
This unit did not pop up. It's flush to the countertop and you open a hinged flap on the top when you want to turn it on. I did it for the reason you gave. I wanted pot and pan drawers under the cooktop. It works adequately for most of the cooking we do, but I have a Pro-style Five Star gas cooktop and if we really crank it up, the ventilation isn't adequate.
I don't know if it is because of the raised location of the intake or that the motor isn't powerful enough. I don't know if this kind of non-pop-up vent is still available from another company.
I question if the pop-up kind would function adequately if mounted on the eating top because the vent intake would be pretty high above the cooktop.
Personally, I'd only be comfortable devising the system you describe with an electric top because I'd be worried about the liability issues with gas.
Guiding Clients
How do you deal with clients who insist on choosing hideous lighting, paint colors, bar stools or tile, after you've poured your heart into making the rest of the kitchen beautiful?
I know it's their kitchen, but some of these things are ghastly.
Any tactful yet forceful words of wisdom I can use?
Response 1
Sometimes it works to say the choices they make might date their kitchen. When they start worrying about that, they often reconsider. Then, I breathe a sigh of relief, and reinforce by mentioning the less dramatic choice(s) will be a lot easier to live with for a lifetime. That approach works – sometimes.
Response 2
I will often say "the reason why you hired a professional designer is to get professional advice and this is my advice." If that doesn't work I try "it won't work for resale, as it's too unusual or different."
As a last resort, I tell them "I really think you are making a serious mistake." Ultimately, if they insist on doing whatever it is, I just let it go, and then don't take pictures of the project. I find that most of the time they listen when I try this approach.
However, there have been a few times when I've been wrong about their selections. Some have turned out to look good or even great!
If this is the case, I really try to tell them point blank that they were right and I was wrong. This always helps the clients feel good about themselves.
Response 3
Can you possibly direct them to something similar? I suppose it would act as some sort of compromise. For example, when I sold paint, some customers would want really bad colors and I would "gently" advise them that their color selection was a little bold.
If pattern and general styling is a problem, you can try telling them the "less is more" thing.
For instance, "If you really like that pink and orange flowery fabric, it will make a much larger statement if you use it only as throw pillows instead of the chairs and the entire couch!" Remember that some customers occasionally need to be educated.
Most of the time the client can't imagine how everything will go together or how something will look based on a sample chip, so by giving your advice and guidance, you can educate them and they will come to trust you. Show them some similar jobs you have done. This can help build their confidence in your taste and style.
Client Communication
We, for the most part, get great feedback on our designs and installations. One area where we have received less enthusiasm is in the area of communication. It pains me to design a beautiful job, have all the materials show up on time, have a great installation and then have clients disappointed due to their perception of the quality/amount/type of communication that goes on.
I typically do a kickoff meeting and will visit the jobsite when questions come up. In fact, I will visit at least weekly – whether I need to or not. I also try to make phone calls to "check in."
Where we seem to fall down is when communication is occurring between the general contractor and the client. I cannot be there to witness all of these conversations. It seems that clients are expecting that everything that was discussed between them and the contractor is being communicated back to me. Frequently, it is not. When we sell the job, we sell the benefits of the team approach, but I don't think we are quite the "team" that clients expect.
What do others do to help clients feel good about the level of communication that goes on?
Response 1
I can relate. The only answer I have found is to call the project manager for an update every day that I'm unable to visit the jobsite. However, I also tend to work with the same contractors (who I will refer).
I have explained that I know how busy they are and can understand why they sometimes aren't able to check in with me, but I also explain that part of my sales process is to stress that we are providing a team effort when they purchase our joint services and I will look like a liar if I can't live up to the expectations that have been set.
So, to maintain credibility and the possibility of referrals, I will be checking in with them every day or so and would appreciate a phone call if anything major happens, just so I can be aware. It is actually to the project manager's advantage to keep us posted so we can both give the same answers to the client or figure out solutions together.
I think the project managers aren't always aware of what goes into the sales presentation. I've gotten positive responses to this approach, but it does add one more thing to the "to do" list.
Response 2
Whenever I work with outside contractors, I try to conduct weekly recap meetings with some, while others only need e-mail communication.
I have suggested to homeowners simple ideas for communication such as the use of a bulletin board at the jobsite so they can post messages and reminders in one place for the contractor.
Personally, I would like to see a communication system through the Internet for the client, contractor and designer. I think Susan Serra uses one in her business to communicate to clients. The problem is some contractors don't even want to have e-mail.
This is the age-old question of how to provide better communication and better service to our clients.
