This is the alarm system that alerts home owners when a vehicle is coming up the driveway from as far away as 1/2 mile. A remote motion sensor attaches to a mailbox post or address sign at the end of your driveway and detects the movement of vehicles that pass up to 80' away, sending a wireless signal back to the monitor in a home. The monitor generates a tone to alert you that someone is coming. An exit delay of five minutes allows you to set the monitor and depart without generating an alert. Sensor will also detect persons. Sensor requires one 9-volt battery that provides 9 months of operation; monitor plugs into AC with adapter. Sensor 4 1/2" L x 3" W x 2 1/4" D. (4 oz.); Monitor 3 1/2" H x 6" W x 1 1/4" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)

A Useful and Excellent Product
By privacy lover
from North Constantia, NY
Our unique circumstances involve living in the country in a house on an island that cannot be seen from the road, a driveway that is 2/10ths of a mile long and a gated bridge over which one must pass to gain access. In the past we have had some "surprise" and some unwelcome visitors who pull up to the gate and then call us on their cell phone to inform us of their presence. This early warning system has eliminated the problems and the stress of having to deal with unexpected or uninvited visitors. The outside sensor is placed on a post just before the bridge, and it detects vehicles or individuals which pass it. The signal is then sent immediately to the receiver which is mounted inside the house. The signal is loud enough to be heard through most of the house and even outside if the windows are open. No more surprise visitors; we know if someone is there, and we can choose to respond or not, depending upon the circumstances. It is a remarkably useful device.

Great product!
By alkeljake
from New Orleans
We live in a rural area & have a long drive-way. We got tired of not knowing when someone was here! This works great & it can get VERY loud. It has volume control, though, which is very nice. We do get false alarms, but we think it might be birds flying by it because it's by a big shrub.

Works as advertised
By Sfer
from Ontario Canada
It takes a little reading to set up the dip switches for your preference of chimes. Otherwise, installation is super easy and it works great.
I now have two systems!
By Panoke
from Apollo, PA
I liked the performance of the first system so well, I purchased a second to cover a rear area and to have a receiver on the second floor which is useful primarily a night. One small drawback are the two alert tones, whistle and ding-dong. These can and have been confused with TV sounds or cooking/oven settings or usual doorbell usage. Plus, my deer like to activate them!

I would buy this product again
By Sunnywood Ranch
from Mancelona, Michigan
I was very impressed with this product as we live back in the woods with a 400ft driveway. It works great an no false alarms, we love it.
So Far So Good
By Bentley
from East Greenwich, RI
It works about 150 yards away. I could not understand from the catalog description if I could purchase an extra receiver, which I would have done for the second level of the house. The key will be whether it works in the winter.

n. A smooth dick. A fast talking, charismatic, club or bar patron who always gets the girl. See Vince Vaughn in Swingers, or Roger Dodger. A smick is a person who you'd want to be your friend, if they didn't just cock block you.
Dude, I was totally about to get in there with that hot blonde, when all of the sudden some smick swooped in and nabbed her with an epic line.

Smick is a mix of smooth and slick. the word smick describes anything which is cool. The word has evolved from the use of describing men and women whom think they are slick into a word to now describe or exclaim a cool thing.

So bitter that I can't say anything..
ChinaEagle's description appears to have some points but the picture is far more complicated. Any China observers (who can read and write) would agree that China has a more relaxing policy about the criticisms towards the governments in recent years, but rules aren't as clear as stated by ChinaEagle.
It's getting possible to talk about a corrupt local-level officer, but you surely can't talk about the money the Politburo members put in overseas bank accounts. It seems okay to post a caricature about the local government, but a guy from Chongqing got a 1-year sentence. Enforcement seems random enough to scare people off.
Censorship can also come in some unexpected ways. A week ago, people found the word "wound in back" (Bei Shang) unsearchable and trigger the blockage. Rumors said Xi Jinping's, a crown prince in the Party, back got hurt and that's why. To get a better chance of bypassing the censorship, you may want to replace the word "Gong Chan Dang" (The Communist Party) with "GCD" or "TG".
You surely wouldn't call this a risk-free internet surfing, it's just less dirty than before. However even if you avoid legal punishment, don't expect you can search a recipe on youtube, keep connected with friends on facebook. And queries in Google can be disturbing because the pages are often blocked without obvious reasons. (Today a google page was blocked when I searched the opening hour of a bank). The China government detests those big internet giants, so by a great leap of logic, they punish the Chinese citizens by taking away their rights to access them.
The China internet policy is to let you know a big brother is watching you.
China and the West are different in many aspects. For example, raping a girl in China can result in death penalty but doing this in the U.S. gets very light punishment. I said, it is fine to criticize Chinese government and Chinese Communist Party publicly. However, it does not mean you can freely criticize a SPECIFIC PERSON in China. If you want to do so, you must HAVE SOLID EVIDENCE to support your criticism. For example, it is fine to criticize a specific Chinese Politburo member publicly - if you have solid evidence to show that he/she has a lot of money in oversea banking accounts. Otherwise, you will be sent to jail. Same for criticizing local officials.
In the West, people are just irresponsible for their speech. They can spread rumors about a PUBLIC FIGURE without any punishment. However, the Chinese have very low tolerance on this kind of behavior. So this is not an issue of "freedom of speech", but different understanding on "social responsibility".
Chinese media outlets generally report more FACTS than Western counterparts. Instead, Western counterparts report more OPINIONS than Chinese media outlets. That explains why many Chinese scholars feel that it is hard for them to tolerate Western media, where facts are distorted, few fact is reported, opinions of scholars and professionals are not reported, and the media is filled with rants of stupid politicians, who only get C- at college.
I mean it is different understanding on "freedom of speech". The Chinese define speech as "responsible expression of opinions" and "facts" while the West defines speech as "rumors", "gossips", and "rants".
Google, YouTube and Facebook are blocked in China because they are not responsible media outlets. They spread too much rumors about Tibet and China's dissidents. I don't think the U.S. government will tolerate them if they hail the terrorists who attack the U.S. If the U.S. government has no tolerance on terrorists, then you should not expect China has any tolerance on Tibetan separatists and Uyghur terrorists.
The big brother is watching you.
Freedom of speech isn't meant for us to make wild allegation about each other. "Responsible expression of opinions" is required for freedom of speech to exist, which is why we have defamation/libel laws. When you're irresponsible is expressing/misrepresenting facts/opinions, you get sue.
If you believe they are making wild allegation, bring a suit against them. That would remind those media outlets of their responsibility, or you can just ignore them. After making all those wild allegations, they are going to lose credibility, and people are going to take what they say with a pinch of salt.
YE Shiwen, an Olympic swimmer gold medalist, was alleged of doping without any evidence in the West. If any Chinese media outlet had dared to say this, it would have already been sued and fined a lot of money. However, Western media outlets enjoy a lot of "freedom of speech" and are able to spread rumors and lies without any penalty. In the West, the bar of winning a defamation case is so high that few people want to try this kind of case.
I understand that many Westerner deem China as a barbaric place without any "freedom of speech". However, many Chinese also deem the West as uncivilized, irresponsible and barbaric society where irresponsible allegations, rumors, gossips, rants, and quarrels are rampant.
This is the culture difference. Both China and the West should learn each other and respect each other. Do not try to impose your value and culture onto others.
Oh what nonsense. The Chinese censorship system screens out whole swathes of information that have nothing to do with public figures or rumours. It obliterates whole passages of history such as the 1989 Tiananmen Square movement. This is absolutely an issue of freedom of speech. How stupid do you think we are?
What you said is nonsense. 1989 Tiananmen Square Event is not obliterated. One may easily find the facts in the following link:
It is not blocked in China. However, those Western media outlets which tried to demonize China and spread rumors were banned. For example, The Voice of America, which is the propaganda machine of the U.S. government, spread rumors such as premier LI Peng was shot to death by his guard.
Who gets to decide what a fact is and isn't? What is to stop a corrupt official from claiming that a fact is just a rumour and then put you away?
What's to stop the same official from putting anyone else in jail who reports him for the fact of putting people away for reporting facts?
So what if you have solid evidence if there are powers that can shut you up and say there is no solid evidence and you are inciting unrest?
Aye, there's the rub. Rule of man versus rule of law. You have to be naiive beyond belief to accept that the Chinese censorship system screens out only rumours and innuendo, while leaving facts untouched. The reality is that the system screens out anything the CPC doesn't like or approve of. Period, end of story.
Of course, we should mention that the vast majority of China's 500 million Internet users are fully aware of the reality of censorship. On the whole they are massively cynical about official propaganda efforts and are masters of reading between the lines and using coded analogies to escape the dragnet of the Great Firewall. It is only the educated English-speaking pro-government commentators who insist, on message boards like this, that China's Internet censorship is just ordinary housekeeping, has nothing to do with political control and is no different from what the West does etc etc. It is a huge propaganda con that is directed at the outside world. If they attempted the same arguments in Chinese on discussion threads in China, they would be laughed into oblivion.
In China, you may criticize the government and the Chinese Communist Party without any punishment. However, one should not propose to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party because it is unconstitutional. According to China's constitution, the Chinese Communist Party is the only one party that can lead China. Thus, proposing Western multi-party democracy in China is basically unconstitutional and illegal. No wonder those who crossed the red line got punishment. The following summarize what you can say in China:
1. Publicly criticize the Chinese government - OK.
2. Publicly criticize the Chinese Communist Party - OK.
3. Propose democracy and urge the Chinese Communist to hold more elections - OK.
4. Propose Western democracy and urge the Chinese Communist Party to adopt Western democracy - unconstitutional but rarely punished.
5. Receive fund from foreign countries to propose Western democracy - unconstitutional but rarely punished.
6. Receive fund from foreign countries to propose Western democracy and urge the Chinese general public to overthrow the Chinese Communist Party - unconstitutional and can receive tough punishment.
Westerners think that China does not have any freedom of speech. However, the fact is that the general Chinese enjoy a lot of freedom of speech. The West should stop inciting violence and riots (under the veil of "freedom of speech") in China. The West should learn to respect the culture and customs of other countries.
in china you are free to say anything you like as long as you respect chinese culture and customs
in the same right you have no right to criticise "western" culture and customs which include the right to "incite violence and riots" as you put it or as we put it to speak our opinions freely
china has no difficulty in riots being incited to turn over japanese cars and destroy japanese property and attack the japanese ambassador
nor has it any difficulty to suppress riots when it chooses with tanks
Do you know any Western laws or culture. The Westerners do not have the right of inciting violence and riots. In the U.S., doing so can result in jail.
It's a fallacy to assume that these riots and such are caused by the west. During america's civil rights struggles of the late fifties and sixties, a lot of conservative voices seriously suggested that this whole "civil rights" thing was a plot backed and funded by the USSR. While the Russians certainly did use it to make the US look bad at the time, the primary cause then was the same as it is in China today, discontent among the country's own citizens.
Liu Xiaobo is funded by the "National Endowment for Democracy" of the U.S. He wrote many articles proposing riots. Of course, since the approval rate of the Chinese Communist Party is high, the riots did not happen. However, Liu Xiaobo was still sentenced in prison for 11 years.
Riot and demonstration are different, a riot does not need approval, inciting riots needs to be jailed, while forming demonstration does not.
The former foreign minister of China, once commented on tv that there must be a limit to the freedom of speech and surely things like the advocation of secession or subversion against the government must also be forbidden in Western countries.
The poor, ignorant communist cadre could never imagine that the freedom of speech is designed specifically to protect criticism against tyranny. Most people in the US and other free countries will defend to death the people's right to express any opinion, including advocacy of secession or opposition to the ruling regime.

A Cut Above the Rest
A kitchen fit for a Cordon Bleu chef, a master bath that looked as if it were plucked from a five-star resort and a bath design centered on the tenets of Universal Design. What do all of these have in common? They were among the winning projects in the 2005 Master Design Awards.
These projects, as well as a host of others, took top honors in the 27th annual MDA contest, which is sponsored by Qualified Remodeler, a sister publication of Kitchen & Bath Design News. Both are owned by Cygnus Business Media.
Each year, through these awards, QR is able "to recognize kitchen and bath
specialists, remodelers, architects, builders and other professionals for outstanding
project design, remodeling and construction," notes Patrick O'Toole,
QR's editor in chief.
Continuing the tradition of the MDAs, QR has put a call out for remodeling
projects completed by a professional contracting firm between January 1, 2005
and May 28, 2006 for the 2006 competition.
To submit a project, a completed form and the entry fee must be received by
May 26, with full binders due June 9. Questions about the competition should
be directed to Patrick O'Toole at 847-454-2712 or Heidi Riedl at 800-547-7377,
ext. 1316.
The 2006 awards will be presented at a special reception October 18 in Chicago,
the evening before the Remodeling Show.
Determining the current crop of winners, which were revealed in the October 2005 issue of QR, was a panel of remodeling professionals.
This year the panel included Robert Bell, CGR, CAPS, of Bell's Remodeling in Duluth, MN; Michael Menn, AIA, CGR, CAPS, of Design Construction Concepts in Northbrook, IL; Mike Weiss, CGR, CGB, GMB, CAPS, of Weiss RCMI in Indianapolis, IN; Randy Ricciotti, CGR, of Custom Design & Construction in Los Angeles, CA, and Dan Klappa, CR, of JDJ Builders in Mukwanago, WI.
The judging took place last June at the Michigan Shores Club near Chicago to decide the winners in each of the 21 categories, which included Kitchens above $100,000, Kitchens $50,000-$100,000, Kitchens below $50,000, Baths over $50,000, Baths $30,000-$50,000, Baths under $30,000 and Universal Design, a new category for the 2005 competition.
Each entry was evaluated on "meeting project objectives, overall impression, aesthetic appeal, construction techniques, handling of unusual situations, attention to detail, functionality of space and financial value of the project," notes O'Toole.
Here, and on the next six pages, KBDN spotlights the stunning kitchen and bath designs that won awards in the 2005 MDAs.
Kitchens above $100,000
Redesigned Kitchen, Now Fit for Cordon Bleu Chef, Radiates Period Charm
The circa-1800s, Second Empire Victorian charm of this Massachusetts home can be seen on the exterior, but when Arlington, MA-based Feinmann, Inc. looked a little deeper, it saw that the charm was not translating to the inside – particularly, not to the kitchen. Years of ad hoc shelving, misguided painting and inefficient use of space were its major problems.
Feinmann Inc. was presented with a multitude of challenges, including designing a kitchen around already-chosen, high-style Italian cabinetry, meeting a Cordon Bleu chef's needs and linking the outdoor garden to the kitchen itself.
"We renovated and extended the house to the rear, recreating a slightly extended mudroom," notes the firm, further stating that the link to the garden is established by a high indoor-outdoor space along the north end of the kitchen with skylights at close intervals along the roof of the extension. This space, dubbed "Skylight Lane," ends at an 8-ft.-high, framed glass door that opens to the garden path.
The wall running along Skylight Lane has a large, six-shelf, built-in bookcase.
"A primary interior element is a 'floating' horizontal ceiling plane that centers and anchors the kitchen islands (countertops, range and sinks) in the large space. The low ceiling provides excellent lighting for the work surfaces, and also allows the high, sloped ceilings of the Victorian above to reconcile with the new kitchen," notes the firm.
Slate-like tiles were used to give the kitchen a modern, yet Old World feel. The expansive counter space takes the form of two large islands, which also house a natural gas countertop stove, two sinks, electrical outlets and additional drawer and cabinet space.
Marred by bad 1970s design, this kitchen was in dire need of an update. Someone's in the Kitchen in Princeton, IL came to the rescue with a plan to eliminate the loose floor, dark ceiling and masonry room divider, and create a more inviting entrance into the space. The firm re-applied the original Prairie feel to the kitchen, using quarter-sawn oak and granite, and specified new appliances from KitchenAid, Broan and Fisher & Paykel. A new natural cherry floor was installed, and the wood beams were re-stained and trimmed.
Using Carrara marble countertops, cabinets from Hampshire and appliances from
KitchenAid, Viking, Sub-Zero and GE, Michael R. Klement, AIA, NCARB of Architectural
Resource, LLC in Ann Arbor, MI transformed this kitchen into something that
was more functional for a family of three. Working with Bruce Curtis of Ann
Arbor, MI-based Washtenaw Woodwrights, Inc., Klement reconfigured the first
floor of the home to add a wine bar and a small sit-down dining area, staying
within the existing footprint. He relocated the dining room, a powder room
and an entry door, and created a new adjacent family area to the kitchen. Lastly,
a plastered arched opening knitted the new kitchen gracefully to the main house.
Honorable Mention
Davitt Design Build in West Kingston, RI took this circa-1929 kitchen and brought it into the 21st century while keeping its original charm intact. It addressed several structural issues such as insect damage and removed the asbestos insulation. The firm removed the wall housing the refrigerator and relocated it, opened the old butler's pantry and punched out another wall by 4' to create a vestibule at the entry. Paint-grade poplar cabinets, granite countertops and green-gray slate flooring completed the transformation.
Kitchens $50,000-$100,000
Kitchen Receives a Culinary-Quality Makeover Set on an Angle
The goals for this complete kitchen remodel by Eberle Remodeling in Sacramento, CA included designing and building a functional yet striking showplace with a seating nook, where the chef/homeowner could interact with guests without having them "in the way."
The remodel also required incorporating much more storage for the owner's myriad culinary gadgets, and many more angles in an otherwise ordinary rectangular and boxy space.
The Eberle Remodeling's redesign put the kitchen walls, as well as the entire orientation of the new kitchen, on a 45° angle to create an interesting and distinctive look.
The new layout also features a single-level island that houses the sink, dishwasher, undercounter wine refrigerator and various storage cabinets.
To complete the look, the firm framed in an angled pantry cabinet behind the kitchen island. It also installed puck accent lighting to create a well-balanced lighting scheme for the new, angular kitchen.
The goal of this remodel was 'to design a kitchen that opened the floor plan for the home while still offering definition,' notes Chaden Halfhill, founder of Silent Rivers in Des Moines, IA. 'The homeowners desired a streamlined look that integrated stainless steel details into the cabinets.' Halfhill developed a symmetrically structured kitchen that centered on a core island. He installed standard European maple doors and drawer fronts with horizontal stainless steel accent bands for a clean look. The stylsh atmosphere Halfhill's team created for these homeowners was further emphasized by the Silestone countertops and subtle lighting effects.
The redesign of this initially non-descript, Avondale Estates, GA kitchen by Small Carpenters at Large in Atlanta, GA called for removing all of the existing white cabinetry. This was replaced with stained maple cabinetry from Lockwood Custom Furniture that features a custom glaze. The new cabinetry, columns and dropped beam create the subtle division between the kitchen and family room the clients wanted, notes the firm. A new pantry, a slew of storage options, matching wood appliance panels and a plethora of furniture details complete the look.\

Seaside Kitchen Redesign Frames River Views, Provides More Storage
Set on Florida's beautiful Indian River, this homeowner's dream kitchen included a functional, yet updated look, plus a room that reflected his affinity for the water.
Enter Patricia Davis Brown Cabinetry in Vero Beach, FL, which transformed this once 1980s-style kitchen into a stunning seaside escape.
Making a visual connection between the kitchen and family room and opening them both to the river view was key to the firm's redesign. The designer removed the header and the corner of the kitchen that protruded into the family room. This change helped to give the appearance of a wider family room and kitchen.
"The view was now of the river, and not cabinetry in your face," the designer points out.
Ample storage space in the form of a dish pantry now houses a treasured collection of canisters that had once belonged to the client's grandmother.
Layered countertops were used in the design, with granite at the kitchen counter height and soapstone on the raised counter that butted the mahogany.
"The use of several different counters creates a very dramatic look. It further adds life to the kitchen design," concludes the design firm.
Jerome Quinn of SawHorse, Inc. in Atlanta, GA gave his bachelor client a better organized kitchen that was much more contemporary and masculine in tone, yet still warm and cozy and ready for plenty of entertaining and cooking. To meet his client's needs, Quinn overcame several challenges, the greatest of which was its 8'x15' size. He did so by removing portions of two of the walls to open the kitchen to the adjacent Great Room and moving the sink area to an island with seating. KraftMaid Huntington Maple Shaker-style cabinetry packed full of such storage options as lazy Susans and a hidden wastebasket, stainless steel GE appliances, Tropic Brown granite countertops and a subway tile backsplash complete the look.
Castle Ridge Construction in Basking Ridge, NJ transformed the small, cramped galley kitchen in this town home into an open-plan kitchen featuring more functionality and countertop space. This was done by removing the wall and door separating the kitchen from the family room. By stealing just 2' from the large family room, the firm created a peninsula countertop that sits across from the new elevated bar top. These structural changes gave way to a more open layout for the entire first floor, including the kitchen.
Baths over $50,000
Bath Redesign Keeps to Original Footprint, but Maximizes Space & Function
The master bath in the home of two doctors – and parents of four children – was in dire need of a makeover. The homeowners asked McClurg Associates in Marcellus, NY to deliver a retreat-like bath that would feel like a luxury resort. But the challenges were formidable.
For starters, the couple did not have additional space to offer. They wanted to keep the bath at exactly its original 162-sq.-ft. footprint. Plus, the couple desired a completely framed-out toilet with a door, further reducing available space. Lastly, the size and space available for the walk-in shower required a mudset base with multiple pitches to be built without disturbing an ornately trimmed dining room directly below.
The firm's solution for creating a stable mudset base, which involved cutting down the existing floor system, and for framing out the toilet, which called for a custom-made translucent panel door, made the MDA judges take notice. They gave this project uniformly high marks, particularly in the areas of "attention to detail" and "functionality of space," and awarded it first place.
The judges also liked the way McClurg Associates was able to open up the space visually without overstepping the original footprint of the bath. "[For instance], a curved, glass-block wall for the walk-in shower, a large, arched-topped window and light colored walls combine for a feeling of greater spaciousness in the room," according to McClurg.
Other details included a rich use of natural materials, such as limestone and marble; the use of brushed nickel finishes and furniture-style cabinetry, and a custom, five-piece crown molding along with other custom trims.
Separate his-and-hers cabinets and mirror combinations, as well as a flat-panel TV "pocketed into the head of the shower wall," maximize space and function.
Cool, calm and collected are the watchwords for this bath design by CARNEMARK systems + designs, inc. in Bethesda, MD. The firm created this bath with a host of natural materials, including bamboo flooring, a 6"-thick concrete vanity top, large-format, flamed impala granite wall and floor tiles, and bright blue porcelain vessel sinks. Functional features include an almost-transparent, curbless shower with two showerheads, thermostatic valves, a hand spray and a boxy bench; hidden storage options such as pull-out toiletry boxes in the vanity, shower wall niches and a large linen closet tucked behind a shoji screen pocket door; and a private toilet concealed behind a shoji door.
Harmonious colors and textures enhance the clean lines of the floating Euro-style
maple vanity from Charlestown Caseworks Custom Cabinetry in this master bath,
which was designed by Classic Remodeling & Construction,
Inc. in Charleston, SC. It
creates the illusion of additional space, notes the firm. A frameless shower
door continues the contemporary theme while the addition of a skylight and
Pannelli pendant lighting adds warmth.
Baths $30,000-$50,000
Sleek, Master Makeover Expands Bath's Overall Footprint
Part of a one-floor remodel of a townhouse in the Adams Morgan section of Washington, DC, this bath transformation by Landis Construction Corp. in Washington, DC was made possible by a plan that called for eliminating the now-no-longer-needed nursery adjacent to the couple's master bedroom.
By breaking down a wall, the entire 200-sq.-ft. space was converted into a functional space with a modern flair. The master bath suite shares space between the master bath and a newly created walk-in closet.
"[Overall], the design is a serious yet fun study of lines and curves," says the firm. "The Italian double-bowled vanity console is mirrored by a half circle of glass tile. Glass mosaic and Thassos-tiled curves in the shower continue the theme, and are visible through a custom, frameless shower enclosure that makes the room feel larger."
The MDA judges were impressed enough to award the firm first place for its efforts, noting: "This is a great design; the sink area, in particular, is beautiful, and the overall project is a great success."
Indeed, when Landis was creating the space, special care was taken to get the framing and plumbing just right "so the lines would be perfect. The tile installer was particularly detailed in his approach. He had to be. The tiles were of different sizes, yet the lines of the curves needed to remain clean," adds the firm.
After demolition of the existing bath, bedroom and existing third floor above, Stimmel Consulting Group in Ambler, PA was able to create a master bath that blended the home's architectural antiques originally installed by the builder and the owner's desire for a 'modern' retreat. To accomplish this, the firm used such design elements as antique barn beams and exposed brick chimney mixed with Oceanside palladium glass tile and 1"x2" glass tile set in a brick pattern. Sinks by Kohler and cabinetry by Crystal Cabinet Works, Inc. complete the design.
Honorable Mention
David Crane, of Crane Builders, LLC, in Nashville, TN, gave the owners of this Brentwood, TN ranch home a master bath that was more in line with a luxe, high-end home. He began by reclaiming space from an unused closet for a dressing room and demolishing the existing bath and another two closets to create the bath area. He then installed custom walnut cabinetry and all Kohler fixtures, as well as marble floors, countertops and shower.
Baths under $30,000
Small Master Bath Packs a Big Visual Punch in an Open Space
The master bath designed by Otogawa-Anschel Design-Build LLC in Minneapolis, MN made the most of the allocaed space – and budget. With a little ingenuity, the firm was able to create a stylish bath where none previously existed within the constraints of the budget.
The home in which this new master bath resides sits among many 1-1/2-story homes in "a gentrifying urban neighborhood of central Minneapolis," describes Otogawa-Anschel. In this case, the home had been previously remodeled, and the half-story attic was converted into a cavernous, hallway-like master bedroom. The only thing missing was a master bath.
The Otogawa-Anschel team conceived a master bath plan that was more than slightly open to the rest of the large bedroom. A curving, angled wall provides most of the privacy for a new jetted bath, a separate shower and a fully enclosed toilet room, plus a stunning lavatory with a granite surround.
Remnant granite was used as a starting point, but was cut and polished to allow the stone's "natural, un-loosed" shape to emerge around a new undermount sink. The irregular shape added a lot of additional space to keep cosmetics and other toiletries the couple uses regularly. A similarly styled granite shelf installed outside the shower provides additional space for shampoos, conditioners and the like.
Plenty of time was spent choosing a wide palette of 19 colors of paint, which added "dimension and depth" to the project. Other nuanced details included "bamboo flooring that meets vertical-grain bamboo in the tub surround and pushes up against a rich red tile at the tub deck," concludes the firm.
The owners of this home wanted a bath that was a cross between one found in a W hotel and one featuring Craftsman design. They also wanted a white with maple palette with cobalt accents. And, they wanted it before their baby was born. Fisher Group LLC in Annandale, VA stepped up to the plate and met their needs and time frame with a design that features ribbed and mosaic glass tiles, an asymmetrical tub, curved shower rod, angled open shelves and a granite countertop.
Universal Design
Stylish Master Bath Boasts Universal Appeal and Accessible Design
While a great deal of master baths are remodeled these days to create a therapeutic, soothing spa-like environment, this master bath by Curb Appeal Renovations in Ft. Worth, TX, takes that idea quite literally, sporting a design that is both universally appealing and accessible.
The firm needed to remodel the bath to accommodate the needs of the disabled homeowner, who'd been waiting for this remodel for five years after being severely injured at work in 2000 and wading through tons of red tape to get the money to have the bath remodeled.
The owner needed access to the shower, commode and sink, but still needed it to be stylish and modern.
To start, the floor had to be jack-hammered to eliminate the curb leading into the shower itself in order to provide barrier-free access. Further work was required to relocate the toilet, which is now situated in such a way that a commode chair can be rolled over it while still appearing aesthetically pleasing.
The homeowners also wanted the sinks and vanity tops made higher than usual since they both were more than 6' tall, so Curb Appeal built two at different levels. A barrier-free countertop was installed so the owner's custom wheelchair could still be wheeled under it. The plumbing was installed with protective covering so his legs would be not burned by the hot water.
Other Universal Design features included an anti-scald shower system; grab bars, and shampoo and soap boxes that were built into the wall at a lower height. In addition, the doors leading into the bath and closet are now double doors, which creates a more accessible traffic flow.

Jordan Zimmermann faces Matt Cain this afternoon at Nationals Park.
One day after becoming the first team in the live-ball era to draw nine walks and get hit by three pitches yet only score one run, the Nationals are going with a little different look at the plate.
Danny Espinosa (2 for his last 24) and Michael Morse (1 for his last 17) are each on the bench this afternoon against the Giants. That puts Jerry Hairston in the leadoff spot and Laynce Nix in left field. Nix also will hit cleanup, ahead of struggling Adam LaRoche.
Jordan Zimmermann takes the mound, hoping to bounce back from two straight outings in which he's allowed five earned runs. He's often been compared to the fellow right-hander starting today for the Giants: Matt Cain.
I'm covering Game 2 of the Caps-Lightning series tonight at Verizon Center, but Rich Dubroff is again filling in for me at CSNwashington.com. I'll be sure to link to his articles later…

- Les in NC - May 1, 2011 at 5:12 PM
Frediemac, Our team, bless them, have a way of turning on the jets when it seems that they are completely over matched by the other teams lineup. Lets hope that trend continues today.
- Tim - May 1, 2011 at 5:18 PM
I know LaRoche is a slow starter, but after watching him night after night (and especially after last night), I'm thinking his shoulder IS affecting his hitting.Woukd it be too much to ask for just ONE timely hit!?! Maybe so.
- dj in Fl. - May 1, 2011 at 5:28 PM
Glad to see Nix in place of Morse. I would actually like see more of Nix for Morse. I don't think Morse has shown that his offense can make up for his average defense. I would also leave the leadoff to Harriston or Cora for the time being. Both Desi and Danny seem to be more comfortable near the bottom of the order so build back from that.
- masnstinks - May 1, 2011 at 6:04 PM
pssssst! Matt Stairs needs to retire — pass it on!
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 1, 2011 at 6:04 PM
That was a pathetic effort by Nix. He slowed down as he approached the ball and let it drop. Come on man run hard and either catch it or kick, but don't slow down and let it drop.

Someone mentioned that Harper has 6 homers so far.Anyone know his other stats, BA, RBI etc? Any errors in the outfield?
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 1, 2011 at 6:19 PM
SO far the RISP averages for the game after 2. Giants 1 for 2, Nats 1 for 4. They have one hit the line, we have Pudge's that fades.Had LaRoche tagged up on the one Rowland caught running away from second, He would have scored on Cora's hit. That is the same play that Lenny Harris did do on Wednesday.

RISP after 3 innings Giants 1 for 3 Nats 1 for 6. How can the Nats be this bad with RISP? Game after game. I would love to know what the team RISP for the season is, and what the average is when there is no RISP.
- Section 222 - May 1, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Ok, I know this is sacrilege, but I for one will be glad when the Caps' season is over so Mark can get back to covering baseball.
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 1, 2011 at 7:20 PM
Through 5 innings Giants are 1 for RISP and the Nats 1 for 10.. Its hard to believe people can be so pathetic at this. The first two guys all they have to do is a rounder toward the middle or a fly to the outfield.
- Cwj - May 1, 2011 at 7:27 PM
Thanks Les, Tim and Dibble for the Harper stats/links! Wow. How can this team not score after a leadoff triple? Ugh. Well, looks like we are in for these types of games for the foreseeable future.Hopefully they can win half of them.
- Cwj - May 1, 2011 at 7:29 PM
Good job JZimm. Kept the team in the game for 6 innings (I can't believe how well the rotation is doing. Wonderful)Come on Nats. Just another run or two, please!
- Cwj - May 1, 2011 at 7:40 PM
You all are quiet today
- masnstinks - May 1, 2011 at 7:42 PM
As frustrating as it is to watch hitter after hitter fold with men on – they also are getting absolutely no breaks or luck. Pudge's ball was sailing, Rowan just got to it. Even when sharp contact is made – they are just not finding any grass. We have been in most of our games right through nine innings. You can tell when the team is not hitting – bloggers focus on Harper. Someday……
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 1, 2011 at 7:44 PM
Clippard looked great.
- Tim - May 1, 2011 at 8:07 PM
Bring up Harper now! He could do as much as our current lineup is doing right now.
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 1, 2011 at 8:17 PM
Pudge's RISP is probably among the better ones on the team. team now 2 for 11. Could win despite that.

With the starting pitching we're getting, with ANY hitting at all we'd be 5 games over .500 at least.Good win today. I love seeing us run.

Very glad to be wrong about today's lineup. GO NATS! Win this series tomorrow with Gorzelanny
- Anonymous - May 1, 2011 at 8:53 PM
With the starting pitching we're getting, with ANY hitting at all we'd be 5 games over .500 at least.Have to think the starting pitching isn't going to be this good later in the season. Of course they do have some pretty decent possibilities down in the minors this year to supplement the starting pitching … something not available to them in many years! And they do HAVE TWO legitimate ROY candidates! That IS exciting! But again that's still Phase I isn't it?If they manage to average max 12 games a month and with Zimmerman out and Riggleman's bizarre lineups … I mean Hairston leading off? Ankiel batting second? Zero OBP, zero bat. If the starting pitching falters and the bullpen ends up overworked? I still see them winning between 60-70 games which is not an improvement and is instead regression at the major league level? (The minors prospect are vastly improved and it shows …) And Riggleman just is not a good major league manager.
- fpcsteve - May 1, 2011 at 9:07 PM
The old guys had quite the day, didn't they? Good for them. IRod with the big hit. A couple of guys sat that needed to sit. I'm with dj in Fl. I'd like to see more of Nix and less of Morse. Not bad–no less than a split with the world champs.
- Golfersal - May 1, 2011 at 9:08 PM
Now I watch most of Nats telecasts, but with Tivo's I spin though most of the shows. Now I don't do this when I listen to a Dodger game with Vin Scully or last year with Carpenter and Dibble, but this year I have been spinning more than past years to just get the highlights and forget about the announcing. I think that after watching today live I now know the reason for this.Since it was cold and I have a cold I didn't go to the game and watched the game live on the recliner. Now a bit of disclosure, I was a big Dibble fan and the reason was his stories. It wasn't stat after stat, situation after situation but more of a story telling things not only inside the locker room but comparing things happen to past years. Even Bob Carpenter was great with telling stories, something that is great in listening to Vin Scully do announcing wise.But in listening to F.P. Santangelo, it's all about the stats and all about the situation and what a player should do. I got so tired of all this that about the fifth inning I turned the audio off and listened to Charlie and Dave, who are more story orientated than stat talk.We have had Bob Carpenter and F.P. for about a month now and wondering if I am the only person disappointed in this style?It's not like F.P. is terrible, he is smoother and slicker than Ray Knight but Knight would always give us stories instead of stats.Am I just getting to be an old fart that is getting sick of having to work hard on figuring out stats and situations instead of being entertained in watching a game that has stories?Oh, I am writing this while watching Vin do the Dodger/Padre game, I am back in my element.So the question for this board, the season is now an eight finished, do we like F.P. or longing for a Dibble back which we can't have?

This team gives new meaning to the phrase "scratching out a win". I'll take it anyway we can get it. I like FP very much – our last two color guys have been pitchers and as such – that's all they talked about or knew much about . FP played a an actual position, batted and coached and he brings a lot more depth.Pitchers are prima donnas – Sutton was arrogant, Dibble was " look at me" – this guy is refreshing.
- Steve - May 1, 2011 at 9:38 PM
Nice to see a win in my first visit to the ballpark this year — the pitching and defense makes it worth watching. How 'bout some love for Flash Jordan fielding the comebacker between his legs?Oh, and has anyone noticed that Manny's Indians are an MLB best 19-8? (Not that I want him back…)
- TimDz - May 1, 2011 at 9:43 PM
Regarding FP: I don't have a problem with him one way or the other…I DO think he could be the basis of a nice drinking game……We can call it the "Dead Red" game…
- Drew8 - May 1, 2011 at 9:44 PM
Harper had another run-scoring double today, giving him 20 RBI in 22 games.He hasn't built that .329 average on souffle singles, either.Of his 24 hits, more than half are for extra bases — 7 doubles and 6 jacks. Kid has some kinda' pop.
- SonnyG10 - May 1, 2011 at 9:57 PM
I enjoyed watching today's game very much and am happy with the win.As to the color guy, I was a Rob Dibble fan, but I also like FP now. Since we can't have Dibble back, I'm ok with FP.I also have noted how well Manny's Indians are doing and I am glad for Manny. I liked him a lot but he just wasn't right for our club at this time. Of course we didn't have quality players for him to manage (other than Zimmerman) so that probably had a lot to do with it.Adam LaRoach hasn't been hitting, but boy I sure like watching him play 1st base. He is as smooth as silk there. And how about Pudge nailing Ford trying to steal 2nd base. What a throw.I would like to see a little more of Laynce Nix in games over Mike Morse. If he can hit left-handed pitching, I think he would be a step up from Morse.
- Mark'd - May 1, 2011 at 9:58 PM
Amazing they couldn't pick up Werth at 3rd with no outs but s FRESH Pudge came thru in the clutch. Nice to see after last night.
- Mark'd - May 1, 2011 at 10:05 PM
This Ramos/Pudge platoon could work out longer term. A rested Pudge is a better Pudge and they are getting real good production now from the catcher position.LaRoche is just not getting good contact. Is if his shoulder? Does he need rest?
- SonnyG10 - May 1, 2011 at 10:10 PM
LaRoche has been a slow starter at the plate, but I don't think his past slow starts have been this bad. It seems to me that he has finished a lot of his swings one-handed. I don't know if that's normal for him, but I wonder if its because of his shoulder.
- Mark'd - May 1, 2011 at 10:10 PM
I heard on the radio broadcast that JZim was bringing it at 94-96 MPH. Glad to see he got the win today.
- Drew8 - May 1, 2011 at 10:17 PM
In a year or so, when the boys are back in town and the team gets really good, my wife might watch a few games. I'm going to have to get an F.P. translation guide."He's sitting dead red here. He's going to get a nice piece of cheese." (Looking to go oppo boppo, no doubt.)Then again, I've been known to tell my bride that "The Nation and The Empire are on the Deuce."
- natsfan1a - May 1, 2011 at 10:26 PM
I liked Dibble, but FP seems okay. I think it's a bit soon to judge, but that's just me. I don't drink so don't do drinking games, but why not "good old fashioned country hardball"?Good to get the win today. I think the Pudge throw was my fave part (turned to my hubby and said, "I'm not going to lie to you – that was a missile.). His bat seems to be picking up a bit, too. The stranding of Werth at 3rd may have been my least fave part. Hope they'll finish off with another curly W tomorrow!
- natsfan1a - May 1, 2011 at 10:43 PM

JaneB- There's just no pleasing the negative anonymous posters is there? We need more positive Anons (there are a few) :)Good to see Burnett pitching in a setup role (where he thrived the past 2 seasons). Storen is clearly the closer, regardless of what Riggs said today.Still think the whole "closer" label is overrated, but if they absolutely must have one then Storen is the right guy for the job.Go Nats!
- carolync - May 1, 2011 at 11:17 PM
Phew! Who knew the Giants were this bad. I'm going to be very disappointed if we don't take the series tomorrow.They did everything they could to give us that stinker of a game yesterday. The pitching/defense was better today but the offense didn't show up. They wouldn't have scored the two runs they did except for sloppy fielding on that pop-up down the third base line. Talk to each other, boys!Leaving Werth on 3rd was ugly. Still too many stranded runners.I really think LaRoche is injured. I watched him and he just looks like it hurts to walk. Sure hope I'm wrong as we need his glove.Not the prettiest of wins but still a win!Go Nats!
- Anonymous - May 2, 2011 at 12:05 AM
JaneB- There's just no pleasing the negative anonymous posters is there? We need more positive Anons (there are a few) @CWJ,The facts are the facts … FP Sant'Angelo (too much like Angelos? ~grin~) is okay but he does spend an awful lot of time making excuses for over-the-hill very-little-if-any-gas-in-the-tank veterans? He lavishes praise (much like Riggleman) over even the smallest thing they do …Dude, this again says exactly what @Manassas Nats Fan said: 76 wins. And I believe he is wildly optimistic. This IS NOT a good team at the major league level. Again the minor league prospects are far and away better than what this franchise has seen since it moved to DC. And getting better. But the product at the major league level. NO improvement to regression. You have to call 'em like you see 'em. This kind of pitching … and well, luck … won't work in June, July, and August when the pennant races are on and the top tier teams need to pad the win column. The hapless Nats will be hapless. I mean c'mon Hairston leading off? Ankiel batting second? That is last place looking for the first pick in the first round lineups from Interim Jim. And playing Pudge ever other day or third day when you have a legit ROY candidate in Ramos? And playing Ankiel over Nix? Decrepit veterans will have their games … but they will become fewer and further in between as the season progresses. Not a good sign for these Washington Nationals. And sets the stage for abandonment by the team's fan base. Not good.
- Tim - May 2, 2011 at 1:09 AM
I like FP. Dibble is an egomaniac. If you listen to MLB Radio in the morning, his tirades are very boring. Same things over and over again. Yes, Mr. "Good Ole Fashioned Country Hardball" repeats himself too, but he's not a self-proclaimed know-it-all. FP has a dry wit and I like it.Everyone here seems to call for Riggleman's head, but I think he's an excellent manager and we're starting to see the kind a baseball he likes to play: run, run, run! I love it! I loved seeing Dunn hit bombs but I think this brand of baseball is more exciting. (disclaimer: I wouldn't mind more HRs . )
- Tim - May 2, 2011 at 1:14 AM
One more thing: Pudge will be gone by the trade deadline… That's why he's still playing now… And playing well, I might add. Ramos has been electric and he's learning from one classy future Hall of Famer.Ankiel will probably be gone by the deadline, too, although he briings a lot of intangibles, defense, arm, etc.

What is Parkinson's Disease? Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disorder that affects the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. As many as one million Americans suffer from the disease while approximately 40,000 more are diagnosed each year. Bayhealth Medical Center's Education Department offers a Parkinson's Disease Support Group for persons with the disease or other related neurological diseases and those who love and care for them. Bayhealth Clinical Educator Paula Bodner, MSN, RN-BC, co-facilitates the support group with assistance from the Delaware Caregiver Resource Center at the Modern Maturity Center.

Winner of Political Polemic of the Year 2013 Political Book Awards

"Nick Cohen's books are like the best Smiths songs; however depressing the content, the execution is so shimmering, so incandescent with indignation that the overall effect is uplifting." Julie Burchill - Prospect
"Nick Cohen's brilliant broadside against censorship in an age of freedom." Richard Dawkins
"Cohen is right that the struggle for freedom of speech is a political struggle. The internet does not itself liberate, Cohen reminds us. Cohen celebrates Milton's Areopagitica (1644) and Mill's On Liberty (1859). His own book stands alongside them." Anthony Julius, Standpoint.
"He has a sense of history and literature, in contrast to the dominant political generation of PPE graduates who have read every page of the Economist since they were at Oxford, but have never opened a novel." Denis MacShane, the Observer.
"At the risk of winning the Order of the Brown Nose, Cohen is perhaps the most insightful, thought-provoking and entertaining political writer in Britain today, and comes from the honest tradition of English liberal thought that threads from John Milton to John Stuart Mill and George Orwell; for that reason he has fallen out with the dishonest liberal tradition, a split that began with the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie on Valentine's Day, 1989. He has that rare trait of being fair to all parties, refreshing in the tribal atmosphere of political debate, which has no doubt angered sectarians on his side." Ed West, The Telegraph
"Cohen is a friendly and engaging writer, who combines the solitary scholar's extraordinary range of reference with a bon-vivant wit and warmth. A lover of contemporary fiction, his polemics read like novels. He finishes his book with a list of ways to fight back."Max Dunbar 3am Magazine
"The author has no time for artists, comedians and "loud-mouthed newspaper columnists" who pose as the moral equivalents of dissenters in repressive regimes, as they fearlessly speak truth to power, knowing that power will never go after them. On more delicate matters, meanwhile, they preserve a cowardly or self-interested silence. Cohen is a political animal, but with this free-thinking man of the Left there is no sense of the hedging, elisions or contrarian games so familiar in the field. A nose for censorship, of the silent or bullying variety, means not just carrying a powerful bullshit detector, which he does, but being your own man. And God knows there are few enough of those."
George Walden, London Evening Standard

"After all, there are thousands and thousands of middle-aged lefties for whom their once-revolutionary "credentials" are all they have left to show for a lifetime of "activism", and who could not face their friends — or, perhaps, their students — if they found themselves endorsing a war fought by British or American soldiers. (I myself remember repressing a twinge of annoyance at the idea that the assault on civilisation represented by the 9/11 attacks would drive my anti-Kissinger book from the front page where I still believe it belonged.) But Cohen goes further: "I wanted anything associated with Tony Blair to fail, because that would allow me to return to the easy life of attacking him."
It is this sentence, and its implications, that make his book an exceptional and necessary one. Cohen has no problem with those who are upset about state-sponsored exaggerations of the causes of war, or furious about the bungled occupation of Iraq that has ensued. People who think this is the problem are not his problem. Here's his problem: the people who would die before they would applaud the squaddies and grunts who removed hideous regimes from Afghanistan and Iraq, yet who happily describe Islamist video-butchers and suicide-murderers as a "resistance". Those who do this are not "anti-war" at all, but are shadily taking the other side in a conflict where the moral and civilisational stakes are extremely high."
Christopher Hitchens, Sunday Times
"Nick Cohen's roaring polemic of outrage against the moral and political crisis of the liberal tradition. It is already one of the most discussed current affairs books of the new year. At the very least it forces, or ought to force, anyone on the left to think carefully about where their movement has ended up in the modern world. Martin Kettle, The Guardian
"The psychology of the left wing is hauntingly displayed by Nick Cohen" Philip Hensher, The Spectator

Hello everyone, fellow alcoholics and addicts...
My name is Melanie, and I am an alocholic and addict.
Upon a little prodding from a dear friend, I've decided to fully disclose my story in hopes that someone may find something within it that they can relate to..."hold on tight, its gonna be a bumpy ride"...
I was born in Houston, Texas to two Artists, named Bette and Mack. They were only nineteen when I was born but had been married since they were seventeen. Bette had been born on Thanksgiving, Mack on Christmas Day in 1950. My mother left before I was a year old. As part of her Step work, she admitted to me that she left because she was jealous of the attention I was recieving as "the new baby". That took a lot of balls on her part and as a result, we have never been closer. She has been recovered now for 18 years!!! She had, before that day, been the brunt of my most severe alcoholic rages, as I could never understand why she left. My father (who turned out to be gay) kept me until I was two and then left for the weekend for NYC and did not return for many years. So, I was then passed on to my grandparents until I was five. At that point, my great aunt and uncle stepped up to the plate and adopted me and I joined them and their other adopted son in Corpus Christi. Being so young, I did not understand the problems of the family that had come to "save" me. Kenneth (dad) was a violent and horribly abusive alcoholic and Sondra (mom) was a very bitter, lonely valium freak. She had chronic migraines and spent much of her time locked in her dark bedroom--leaving my brother and I to fend off my father's erratic behavior. By the time I was eight, I had become very talented at manipulating my dad, watching closely for the periods during his drunk when I knew I could approach him. There was always a small window of kindness(guilt?) in which I could ask for money, to stay the night over somewhere, or could ask if someone could come over (although most of my friends did not want to come over).
I left that "home" when I was 13 years old and went to live with my real dad who had now returned to Houston. By this time, I was smoking cigarettes and smoking pot regularly. I drank on occasion; however, after seeing Kenneth's behavior, I SWORE I WOULD NEVER DRINK LIKE HE DID. Ha!!! I was right too, I drank worse!! And on top of that I did any and all drugs I could get my hands on.
Mack soon put me in charge of selling dope to my friends by 14 years of age. I was allowed to smoke pot and drink socially but was not allowed to smoke cigarettes. Of course, my drinking escalated as I was already allergic. I was of the hopeless variety--I had no choice.
By the time I was 21, I was heavy into my drinking career. Some legal trouble had found Mack hiding out in Bisbee, Arizona, where I, of course had to be as he was all I had left. I loved him so very much. He had been the only person to hold my hand, hug me, encourage me in my Art, tell me I was beautiful. Besides the drinking and drugging, he was a wonderful man and father. The law caught up with Mack in Bisbee and he was extradited to Texas. I waited for him in Arizona as I knew he would be back somehow. On November 14, 1992, I got a call on the pay phone in the bar (because that was the only place I could be reached) from my grandmother informing me that my father had committed suicide and had been found dead in a motel room where he had lain for three days...my breath stopped and my heart began trying to force itself up through my throat...I died in that moment myself.
I could not believe he was dead so I took off hitchhiking to find him and, I think, to fill that void. I landed in New Orleans where I believed he had gone and it was there that my alcoholism and drug addiction was truly catered to, 24 hours a day. I spent 5 years there "looking" for my dad and nursing my addictions, making all the wrong friends and decisions...
So there it is...my real mother, Bette, and I are closer than ever, my real father is dead, Kenneth is still a very miserable alcoholic, and Sondra is still a very sad and lonely woman hooked on prescriptions (she has a lot more choices besides valium these days).
What I would like to say here is...for one thing, God Bless Dr. Silkworth for sharing with me the true nature of my disease. I would never have truly been able to take the First Step without his honest appraisal of the alcoholic/addict. Second, I would like to say that I spent many, many years hating myself and even God for the tragedies that occurred in my life...that occurred to an innocent child; they were not my bad decisions. Compassion , Grace, and thoughtful understanding are what have brought me to where I am today with those tragedies. For by the GRACE OF GOD, I know now that those things were not committed against me personally. They were committed by fallible human beings who were or are still suffering. I thank God everyday, sometimes more than once, for removing the anger and fear so that I can see clearly how I might be of help to them.
I know that many of you out there have suffered at the hands of others as well. I hope you find peace in knowing that you no longer have to suffer.
Love to you all and may God Bless...Melanie

From my previous comment in February, I cannot tell the great number of cocks rushing in the three entries of my lovely wife, specially during our summer vacation in Cap d'Agde dedicated beach. Her vagina and her ass are able to receive a great number of males, and always without any pause. Well trained, she enjoys continuous introductions. I encourage her to take more and more cocks both in her vagina and her ass, without forgetting her mouth !

Burton Womens Snowboard Jackets
Womens Burton Snowboard Jackets in stock at The-House.com. We carry the largest selection of Womens Burton Snowboard Jackets for you to choose from. Burton Womens Jackets are designed to keep you warmer, drier and looking better than any other rider on the mountain. These jackets are manufactured with DRYRIDE and perfect for snowboarding, skiing, hiking or just having a night out on the tow. The House Boardshop has been slinging snowboard gear at the best prices since 1982.3 Burton Snowboard Jackets More in the Outlet Shop.
- Size: Medium
- Color: Yellow
- Price: 50.00 - 79.99
Burton wrote the book on various fits for outerwear. If denim has options like boot cut, skinny, ultra skinny, cigarette, straight leg, high waist, hip hugger and loose fit, why can't our snowboarding outfits? Well, it doesn't have to be as complex as choosing toothpaste. Burton broke their women's fits down into four categories…
- Boyfriend Fit – Longer and straighter for a more progressive look, Boyfriend Fit is for the gal who isn't afraid to express her personal style. The jackets flaunt slightly longer arms and bit more room in the chest, while the pants have some more wiggle room in the hips and a wider cuff. While the Boyfriend Fit is a relaxed look, every piece still has a feminine edge. Jackets with the Boyfriend Fit include the Cora Pullover , Foxx Down, GMP Elenor, Prism Gore-Tex, and Prowess.
- Signature Fit – With enough room to layer without being overly baggy, Burton's Signature Fit is the tried-and-true silhouette that's flattering on all body types. A slightly tailored waist gives that perfect girly edge. Sig Fit is the most popular fit, so Burton made more than a handful of head turning jackets to choose from - Dandridge Down, Delerium, GMP Revo, Logan, Method, Scarlet, Skylar Gore-Tex, Tonic, Tula and Varsity.
- AK Fit – Built for backcountry powder missions, hikes to a secret stash and the windiest lift ride imaginable, the AK Fit has plenty of room to wiggle and layer. Every piece is constructed with waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex material, so it's imperative that the fit doesn't hold the rider back. You'll never feel the knees pulling or the pants gapping at the lower back. The jacket and pant will stay put so you won't have to worry about adjusting your threads if you bail on kicker. Sold? Check the AK 2L Altitude Jacket.
- Slim Fit – Ahh yes. Slim Fit is for the fashion forward ladies who like to, um, show a little leg on the mountain. Well, not really, but Slim Fit does give you that leg hugging feeling of confidence. The jackets have a narrower chest and make for a very flattering jacket that flaunts the rider's curves. Rest assured, every Slim Fit piece is still incredibly rider friendly built for mobility, comfort and warmth. This season, choose from the Jet Set, Penelope, Tabloid, TWC Broomsticks, TWC Fulltime Flirt, TWC Memphis or TWC Sugartown.
Boarding School – Outerwear Fit
Narrator – All fits in Burton outerwear are tailored specifically for the movements of riding. The fit options are based on personal choice and style.
Kimmy – Don't you think it's a little cliche to have a girl for this skit?
Narrator – What do you mean?
Kimmy – Guys are just as concerned with how their jacket and pants fit as girls are. I mean, look at this diagram. See, men actually have more fit options than women.
Narrator – That's true.
Kimmy – And don't even get me started on the Boyfriend Fit. What the?
Narrator – All Burton fits are designed for riding. And fit options are based on personal preference.
Kimmy – You already said that. Anyways, I guess I'm over reacting. The Boyfriend Fit is actually kind of nice.
Narrator – The Boyfriend Fit, like all fits by Burton, is pretty nice.
In the mid-60's, Jake Burton was one of thousands of kids to get hooked on Sherman Poppen's Snurfer, the earliest commercial form of the modern snowboard. It might have only been a department store toy, but it was still surfing on snow. Shocked that not much had progressed ten years later, Jake bid the Manhattan business world farewell to become a snowboard shaper. He moved to Londonderry, Vermont and started making and riding his first boards. The world's first snowboard factory was born. The year was 1977.
In the first few years, snowboarding was an underground sport struggling on sledding hills and snowcovered golf courses. As long as riders had to hike, it could only progress so far. To move the industry and riding to the next level, Jake lobbied hard for local ski areas to open their lifts to snowboarders. In 1982, Suicide Six Resort in Pomfret, Vermont was the first resort to allow snowboarding. Soon after, Jake succeeded in convincing Stratton Mountain in Vermont to give it a shot, thereby establishing a joint commitment to snowboarding that continues to this day. Others followed - Jay Peak, Stowe, Sugarbush, Killington - some sooner, some much later. The opening of eastern resorts not only led to growth for the sport, it became a major factor in Burton's continual product innovation. Edgeless wooden boards that were fine in powder no longer cut it on the hardpack and sometimes icy conditions at Vermont mountain resorts. To handle the hardpacked snow, Burton developed the Performer Elite, a board with a P-tex base, metal edges and bindings with hi-backs.
The early years were an experiment in grassroots business. In the second year, Burton Snowboards moved into a farmhouse in Manchester, Vermont - the facility that went on to produce such classics as Burton's Backhill and Performer snowboards. Working in the living room, dining room, basement and barn, a crew of four to five people produced, sold and repaired all the early Burton models. Jake's toll-free customer service line rang in the bedroom, at all hours. In the middle of the night, Jake took down orders from snowboarders all over the country. If orders for boards were low, Jake loaded up his Volvo wagon and visited up to ten shops a day offering his latest designs. From the livingroom/showroom, employees led "Safaris" - snowboard tours of local powder stashes. Turns were earned by hiking.
On the outskirts of Burlington, Vermont sits an office with an old chairlift spanning the parking lot and a skate ramp out back. The current location of over 25 years of innovation and commitment to the sport, this company has roots that run deep into the history of snowboarding. The company is Burton Snowboards - the world's first snowboard factory. And this is how it all started.
In 1992, Burton Snowboards moved from its Manchester location to Burlington, Vermont. The same motivation that took Jake from the garage in Londonderry to the barn in Manchester guided Burton from Manchester to Burlington: the commitment to making the world's best snowboarding equipment and growing the sport. Upon arrival in Burlington, the Burton Air snowboard was state-of-the-art. Today, the Codes and the Powers are the boards snowboarders ride to the podium. The same heart that beat years ago in a garage in Londonderry, Vermont still beats strong within the ever-expanding walls of Burton's modern facilities in Burlington and the two affiliate offices in Japan and Austria. Two things matter more than all else: riders and riding. They always have and always will.
Burton Snowboards has been involved in the competitive side of the sport since the beginning. March 2002 marked the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships - an event for snowboarders by snowboarders. Then and now, it is the premier contest each year, drawing the best riders in the world. The Open has been the perennial venue of legendary riding: Doug Bouton hitting 63 mph on a Backhill snowboard, Craig Kelly dominating the pipe with his signature smooth riding, Jeff Brushie and Terje Haakonsen going head to head with huge McTwists. The early success of the U.S. Open helped further legitimize the sport and increase mountain resort area acceptance.
