Conquering the Great Outdoors
Backyard barbecues have come a long way since early charcoal blazers and hibachis became popular in the 1950s. These once-simple grills have evolved into high-tech appliances designed to expand the kitchen out into the patio and garden. But why?
The editors at Sunset magazine suggest the driving force behind the rising popularity of barbecuing is its intrinsic appeal – the aromas, flavors, easy clean-up and relaxing dining style that combine to create the "barbecue experience."
In addition, I believe the current broadly held belief that cooking is as much a hobby as a responsibility has also been key in piquing the interest in outdoor cooking and entertaining. When both men and women see cooking as a hobby, it easily becomes part of the most obvious recreational area of their homes: the outdoors!
And, while in the past we only considered outdoor kitchens appropriate for warm climates, if the space is properly planned for comfort, clients in all different areas of the country may be willing to invest in such great additions to their "private castle."
Indeed, kitchen/bath manufacturers have latched onto the growing consumer interest in this area, encouraging them with suggestions such as "Don't go away, get away: in your own personal outdoor space." They backed them up at this year's K/BIS in Chicago with a plethora of products appropriate for outdoor kitchens.
But, despite the growing interest and market, little has been published about the space-planning requirements and mechanical constraints present when creating outdoor cooking, dining and entertaining spaces. Before embarking on such projects, designers need to know what is involved and the key issues to address to properly help their clients. They include:
- What questions should designers ask their clients to ensure there is a "good match" between the design space, the equipment specified and the type of outdoor living environment their clients desire?
- What does a designer need to consider when searching for the location for an outdoor kitchen?
- What is the difference between bringing the outdoors in and bringing the indoors out?
- What are the details of the mechanical constraints present in exterior living environments?
Questions to Ask
To start the planning process, the designer must gather information from the client.
- Who is the cook? Who joins the cook in the outdoor kitchen? Are you creating a simple patio grill for the lone chef, or a fully functional kitchen with space for people to gather? Much like an inside kitchen, a counter area, a place to be seated and appliances positioned for easy sharing are all important.
- What does the client cook? People often use the word "barbecue" when they actually mean "grilling." Grilling is simply a process of cooking food over a high heat on a cooking grate. Barbecue is a style of cuisine that originated in the southern U.S. more than a century ago, and it is the process of slow-cooking large pieces of meat in a smoke-filled chamber that burns hardwood. Wood-fired ovens allow you to bake bread, cook roasts and even bake pizza. The new gas-fired appliances also offer more than just a grill: Side burners allow you to fry, boil and sauté a variety of side dishes while grilling.
- Will the family and guests eat outdoors? How often? Is dining in a screened enclosure more desirable than dining alfresco? Heavy winds can also wreak havoc on the client's organized dinner party, driving guests inside or spreading smoke from the barbecue across the entertaining areas. For a space designed for guests lingering after dinner over coffee, consider a fireplace or fire pit that will provide both heat and ambiance for guests enjoying the outdoor room.
- How much outside space is there? What other activities take place outside? For example, is there a child's playground?
- Is the area near or attached to the house, therefore sheltered and close to existing plumbing, electrical or gas lines? Or is the planned area a distance from the primary dwelling?
Location, Location, Location
When planning an outdoor cooking center, consider the style and location of the house and the relationship between the indoor kitchen and new outdoor area. Become familiar with the yard's natural traffic pattern, the location of utility hook-ups and prevailing weather conditions, too.
- What are the climate considerations? What is the relationship of the kitchen to the setting sun throughout the year? And note any micro climates – the variation in climatic conditions within the property. They can vary greatly from one corner of the yard to another. For ultimate flexibility, plan a solid roof cover that will make the space usable during the day under a blazing sun, or the occasional rainy late afternoon.
- Before suggesting cabinets, find out what the year-round weather patterns are. For instance, by the sea you may be strictly limited to stainless steel or other materials that resist the corrosive effects of salty air. Rather than attempting to custom fabricate such cabinets, learn more about recently introduced complete product lines of outdoor stainless steel cabinetry.
For inland outdoor kitchens there are more cabinetry choices such as those with "boat board" – wood or enameled porcelain finishes designed to withstand direct exposure to the elements. Here, outdoor cabinets are similar to indoor units in size and construction, and are typically mounted within a stucco, brick or tile surround. They are not insulated, so contents are not protected from temperature extremes, but they can be protected from insects/pests with latches that create a tight seal. - Ask about minimum safety standards. This is particularly important when building a fire pit or fireplace. Contact the local fire marshal's office to obtain information on what and when it can be burned. While there is no national standard regulating grill construction, local ordinances, in many areas, restrict the conditions or locations you can have an outdoor fire. Check with the local planning department before finalizing your plans. Think about safety, too. Plan rope lighting below any outdoor steps and along floor/walkway transitions, which are harder to see as the sun sets.
- Be aware of code restrictions. Much like when planning the inside kitchen, when you consider the entire space and the adjoining living spaces, the outdoor kitchen should be laid out as an element of the entire plot. Because most communities restrict how close to property lines you can build, investigate the area's zoning laws, as they may restrict the size, use and placement of any structure. Consider grade of the lot, and have a proper exterior survey done.
- Test drive the proposed outdoor kitchen location. To validate your plan, "test drive" the chosen outdoor kitchen area. Rope it off, and then consider traffic patterns. Visit several times throughout the afternoon and evening. Does it receive consistent wind or none at all? What is the exposure to the sun? Remember, the sun's angle and arc change with the seasons – it has a higher arc in the summer, and a lower arc in the winter. Avoid a cooking center that faces West so clients won't be blinded when cooking with the sun low in the sky. Finally, don't ignore drainage issues. Stay out of the path of storm water run-off!
Plumbing Issues
For cold water it is usually easy to tap into a water pipe that serves a nearby outdoor hose bib or faucet. For hot water, a supply pipe must run from the barbecue sink to an existing hot water pipe or the hot water heater for hot water.
An alternative is an on-demand hot water heater. An electric "on-demand" instant hot water heater is a small plug-in unit that is installed under the sink. It is an excellent alternative to running a hot water pipe from the home's hot water heater to the barbecue sink. The unit connects to cold water pipes and heats the water as it travels through the unit to the faucet. A thermostat on the unit controls the water temperature. Units vary by the size of the heating unit's wattage, which ranges from 500 to 1,300 watts.
If your client lives in a climate with freezing temperatures, plan to winterize the area. Water pipes need to be designed so the client can clear all water from the system in the Fall. Water connections should be buried below the frost line, as should gas lines.
Consider drainage, too: In some home installations the drain simply flows into a small pit filled with drain rock.
Overall, be careful about implementing an idea until you have checked into local codes and restrictions.
Electrical Power
Because outdoor wiring must withstand the elements, outdoor electrical materials are stronger and more resistant to corrosion than those used for indoor wiring. And because outdoor components must fit together tightly to keep out water, heavy-duty gaskets or special fittings often seal cover plates on outdoor electrical boxes.
Outdoor receptacle boxes start with a water-tight housing made of cast aluminum, zinc-dipped iron or bronze. They have threaded entries to keep out water. All covers for water-tight boxes are sealed with gaskets, and many switch boxes are equipped with an exterior on/off lever so you can operate the switch without opening the cover.
Some type of conduit piping is used to run the wires to the outdoor components. Special PVC housing boxes are designed for use with plastic conduit (different from the plastic electrical boxes used for indoor electrical cable). Non-metallic conduit does not constitute a grounded system, so you must run a separate grounding wire or cable that includes a separate ground conductor.
Complete a detailed review of the electrical power requirements of all of the equipment planned. Often overlooked are:
- An outlet for the electrical rotisserie or side burners included with the grill.
- An outlet for a built-in refrigerator, blender or a beer keg in the refreshment center.
- An outlet and cable line for the TV/portable CD player and speaker line for outdoor speakers.
- Electrical lines for lighting at walkway step transitions.
Design Details
Designers who have created outdoor kitchens offer suggestions:
- Plan an outdoor kitchen just as you would a regular kitchen. An 'L' or 'U' arrangement works well with a captured cook and guests just opposite. A corridor or single wall with an island is also very workable.
- Select the right countertop material – granite, marble, tile or flagstone. In warm-weather climates, flagstone is used because of the variety of colors and its easy maintenance. Its natural look blends well in an outdoor environment, plus it costs a lot less than granite or marble. A sealer is applied to the flagstone's surface after the installation to prevent staining. Solid-surfacing materials are another excellent choice.
- Develop a lighting plan that considers seasonal changes in the sun's setting pattern. Try adding a counter-mounted barbecue grill flex light so that the light can be focused on the grilling surface. Be wary of lights along the backsplash that might be blocked when the grill cover is raised. Add lighting built into the roof or trellis ceiling above the grilling area. Free-standing floor lamps are also available.
- Even if there is not much storage, think about ways to conceal the unsightly mess created from the meal preparation. Ideas for storage include:
- An undercounter open shelf or a dual-level island so the cook can stash dirty plates until they are carried inside.
- A cut-out in the countertop to house restaurant-style condiment trays, which can be filled in the kitchen and then installed in the counter for buffet service.
- A cart to move things from the inside to outside.
- A built-in trash drawer or tilt-out in the grilling area and the refreshment area so there is no free-standing trash container; for critter control, the garbage container needs to have a tightly fitted lid, and it must be removed immediately.
- Hooks or bars for oversized grilling equipment, pot holders, foil for cooking or covering, a recessed enclosure for paper towels and a bar or fabric washcloths or towels.
- A spot for equipment covers to be stashed when the kitchen is being used.
- A space for a fire extinguisher handy to the grill.
- A free-standing bar cart, or a built-in ice chest drawer, icemaker or refrigerated beverage center, all of which can be an important part of an outdoor gathering space. Don't forget to ask if blended party drinks are part of the fun – if so, you will need to plan storage for the blender and the necessary electrical power.
To facilitate a fun-filled afternoon or evening gathering, a casual 36" counter height or 42" bar-type counter may be oriented to the refreshment center rather than to the cooking appliance. If the grill or fireplace uses tanks of propane, plan a storage area for a back-up tank.
Don't forget to determine what type of summertime fabric covers will be used to protect the kitchen from rain, and whether or not a sturdy cover for the kitchen area is needed for protection during snowy winter months.
Grill manufacturers offer felt-lined covers to protect each specific piece of equipment. Side burners generally come with a steel cover. These items are normally not included in the price of the equipment. They are accessories and are ordered separately.
As noted earlier, plan on a storage area for these covers when the outdoor kitchen is in use. If the entire cooking center must be covered for the winter, consider a zipped blanket custom-made by an awning company or a firm that provides covers for boats.
For ultimate comfort, consider the following finishing touches for your outdoor living space plan:
- Furniture. Knowing how many people will gather for different events hosted in the outdoor area is key. If the numbers change dramatically, you might consider a special, easily accessible storage area for stackable chairs.
For permanent gathering areas, consider deep, reclining, comfortable seating. Furniture is not as oversized in outdoor living spaces as it has been in the past. It is more streamlined, but still comfortable. Fewer chaise lounges are being used today, so mix and match chairs and ottomans. Furniture manufacturers say consumers want their outdoor furniture to look like indoor pieces. The goal is to bring the inside style out to the new living space. Sunbrella fabric, outdoor carpets and decorative floor lamps are all now available for outdoor rooms. - Shade. Providing shade for the kitchen, dining area and lounging area is crucial. Natural shade trees may be planned. A pergola (a structure consisting of parallel colonnades supporting an open roof of girders and cross rafters) planted with vines, or a solid roof overhead, may be a good option. A motorized contractible awning or umbrella on a table can also be planned.
- Fans. Outdoor fans, suspended from the roof of a porch or a semi-enclosed outdoor kitchen, keeps the air moving in the outdoor living space, making it more comfortable on hot days. Fans also help keep the bugs away.
Look for a fan that is UL-rated for wet locations as opposed to damp locations. The former has seals and grommets to prevent moisture from penetrating the motor and electrical elements, plus plastic weather-resistant blades and stainless steel hardware. - Misting Systems. Misters force water through a nozzle to produce super-fine droplets of water that cool thanks to "flash evaporation" when they reach the hot air – without wetting the surrounding area. These systems work best in hot, dry areas; they simply add humidity to the air in humid locales. In the right setting, they can lower the air temperature by as much as 25°.
- Heating. Although stone decking and walls can provide light thermal heating, a mechanical system may be required if the clients want to use the outdoor room year-round. Portable, outdoor-rated gas or electric space heaters are widely available, but may not be the most attractive option. Large, free-standing heaters that look a bit like stainless steel lamp posts are often a good solution. The size of the fixture determines the radius of the circle of heat provided by the fixture. And don't overlook a gas or real wood fire pit or fireplace.
Watch for new and innovative appliances, accessories and special items for the outdoor kitchen. Because of the popularity of outdoor spaces, a great deal of retail merchants are offering new products.
To see pictures and examples of some of these accessories and to get some ideas, go to www.outdoorkitchenconcepts.com, www.vikingrange.com, www.lynxgrills.com and www.zoobler.com.
In addition to searching out new products offered by kitchen manufacturers, I counsel you to interview well-known landscape designers or architects in your area. For example, I spoke with Damon Lang of Green Planet Landscaping, in Las Vegas, NV (www.greenplanetlandscaping.com), who was very helpful during my research for this article.
Because landscapers often are asked to plan outdoor kitchens for many clients, perhaps a new collaboration can be forged between your design firm and an outdoor specialist.
This article is part of a quarterly series of "Designer's Notebook" articles, which will continue to run throughout 2006 exclusively in Kitchen & Bath Design News and online at KBDN's Web site, www.kitchenbathdesign.com. Past "Designer's Notebook" articles can also be found on the Web site.

Communication - Theater/Performance Emphasis
"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." ~ Oscar Wilde
The theater program at Fresno Pacific is committed to exploring through art what it means to be human. Onstage and off—in the classroom, at rehearsals and during production work—we learn the craft of telling stories dramatically. As storytellers, we look for the stories that reflect who we are: our passions, pains, pleasures, and diverse perspectives on life and living. As followers of Christ, we seek to tell stories that reflect themes of redemption, justice, grace and love; themes that address the greater spiritual reality in which we all play a role.
Stories teach us both what is human and what is humane. As we put our theatrical storytelling onstage at Fresno Pacific University, we share our discoveries, our immediacies, with the community that is our audience.
The FPU theater program is committed to making available classroom and performance experiences which encourage student growth on multiple levels—artistic, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual. As we perform, audience and study theater, we engage with various voices, cultures and styles of performance. Students are active collaborators in the process of making theater.

Modular Home Consultant - Bill King
Hello, I am Bill King, your Modular Home Consultant for Mays Landing, NJ. If you have any questions, please call me toll free! — 877-419-3405
Building A Modular Home
Modular Building of your brand-new Mays Landing, NJ abode will demand sizeable and specific planning that should be carried out at the beginning of your project process. Your new home will definitely conform to all of the building code requirements but you will need to plan for the boundary line settings, and have all normal building permits. On top of that, you will need to determine soil type and conditions, water table and frost line in an effort to develop your new design. Your preparation ought to incorporate acquiring the ownership of the site and deciding where to established your house within the property. Being the owner, you must also develop a plan for the construction of a perimeter foundation wall, that must be completely square in order to support the modular home when installed. One vital piece of the plan will be to have a thirty-foot diameter area placed close to the foundation and devoid of trees and wires that is completely level in order to position the construction crane used to set all of the modules on the footing.
Designing Your Modular Home
Design for your new modular home will start by determining the Wind Zone, Thermal Zone and Roof Load Zone of your building site. All of these must be incorporated in the design from the start, and included in any engineering phase of the design. When planning a modular home, you will want layouts for any attached garages, porches or decks as they are included in the modular home design. is vital that you catalog what you want to plan into the home so it can be determined that these will be included into your plan. There is no limit to the square footage of your plan with modular homes; currently we see designs as big as 1500 to 3000 square feet built in 32 modules, with your typical range between 4 to 6 thousand sq ft in ten to twelve modules. All of the home designs Express Modular makes available are created this way, including our modular log homes and our many enviro-friendly home options.
Construction of Your Modular Home
The construction stage of all modular homes starts with securing the title to the land, free and clear, as well as obtaining all permits and approvals. Then site infrastructure such as wells, septic tank, water along with electricity are put in place, accompanied by the installation of the outside foundation which will support the modules. These steps must all be completed ahead of construction is started on the manufacturing location, where the modules are built in an indoor environment by a team of experienced professionals, without weather condition delays or construction site materials losses in comparison with conventional home construction. The final construction step is to arrange for the installation of a 30-foot area to be perfectly level which will be used as the hoisting area for the construction crane that will install the modules around the perimeter foundation.
Installing A Modular Home
Once the assembly of the sections is complete and they're delivered to your home site we begin the key step of your home's installation - the placing of the modules by the installation crew using construction crane gear. Once these are placed, the last phase of the installation will be the finishing of installing utilities, painting, installation of all the flooring, and the create of your appliances. Cleansing and tests makes sure everything is in good condition and that the final inspections as well as occupancy permits can be completed. Usually, all the outer perimeter driveway, porches, paths and decking are installed to finish the project and then the home is set for occupancy.
Green Modular Home Construction
Express Modular homes are constructed "greener" and are even more energy-efficient compared to traditional homes of the past. There are nearly 50 regional or national green home labeling programs throughout the country. While each program approaches green building a little differently, each one can deliver important information on the topic.
The insulation and additional resources used in production are designed into the house from the start. Energy efficient home appliances are standard and using upgrades,your residence becomes more green. Both climate control manufacturing environment as well as reusable materials provide additional opportunities for a sustainable home. With low-flow fittings on faucets, shower heads and sinks, choosing green modular homes is easy.

I'm a student of University of Illinois at Chicago,
and I will be there! So far I have decided to attend the talk that Ryan will be giving, I haven't decided on any others.
Phoronix: Ryan "Icculus" Gordon Will Be Talking This Weekend
Ryan "Icculus" Gordon, the former Loki Software employee who's single-handedly ported many games to Linux and Mac OS X in the years since, will be talking about gaming on Linux this weekend...
I'm a student of University of Illinois at Chicago,
and I will be there! So far I have decided to attend the talk that Ryan will be giving, I haven't decided on any others.
Ask about state of OpenGL 4.1 in Linux land (NOT about OpenGL 2.1!!!). Mozilla found many bugs in 2.1, even with proprietary drivers. So how he see OpenGL 4.1 and it's readiness? Can it be useful to game developing, without MacOSX supporting it too? How he feel about recent Khronos developments both in OpenGL and WebGL? Etc.
PS Have I mentioned that I'm not interested in OpenGL 2.1 info ;P
Get him to talk about Windows, and how Microsoft, Nvidia, Adobe and Apple are his favorite companies in the world.
Let's get his insight on DirectX 12, and whether he thinks Microsoft will be kind enough to provide some kind of integration between Direct3D 12 and the next Silverlight so people can play intensive games in Internet Explorer on Windows.
We could get some perspectives on whether he thinks the current driver development model for Apple -- where they develop their drivers with the assistance of Nvidia / ATI -- is working out for them, considering the poor performance and lack of higher GL support.
Oh I know, let's discuss that poor, poor company, the Santa Cruz Organization (SCO), which got ruthlessly teamed up on and gang banged by Novell and IBM. They were just trying to defend their rightful intellectual property!
And Ryan's interview shall be the last Phoronix article I read, being that it will be comprised of proprietary nonsense, bundled with doublespeak about "open source" while he himself develops proprietary games for proprietary drivers. He would say anything to justify keeping his cooshy job as a proprietary game developer, selling licenses by the barrel.
I say let's not interview Ryan "Icculus" Gordon. You want to interview someone? Pick a member of the FSF Board of Directors and interview them about the state of GNU/Linux gaming. Or if you can't stomach that, pick someone from the OSI. It does not matter because the two organizations are working towards the same goal and cooperating more and more.
As much as the OSI and FSF have espoused valuable principles for the community to live by, they both seem to lack a measure of practicality. I have heard very little from them about the plight of those who would like to use Linux full time, but cannot solely because they enjoy playing games more than they enjoy freedom.
We need to get one or both of these organizations to realize that these people can become ardent users, supporters and (maybe someday) contributors to FOSS, if only they could get some recognition and some campaigns to swing the balance in their favor. The organizations should start political and development campaigns to persuade developers to value both FOSS graphics drivers and FOSS games. Not to mention, since both the OSI and the FSF oppose software patents (see the link above), the OpenGL software patents are a huge obstacle to both organizations.
FOSS Linux gaming is a largely untapped area that needs much more attention from the public and corporations alike. The limited impact of a site such as Phoronix pales in comparison to what the two champion organizations of software freedom could do together with their combined influence.
It would be great if Phoronix could help facilitate these organizations' awareness that a problem exists, and help them develop a strategy for starting to tackle it. The goal is to get enough critical mass of working graphics drivers and available games that the migrations of Windows gamers to Linux gamers starts to accelerate apace. Then the campaigners can sit back and watch the community unfold.
...Or maybe Phoronix doesn't value FOSS principles at all, and is just capitalizing on a virtual monopoly in the "Linux gaming news site" market?
Is it just business? Or do you really care about perpetuating the underlying principles that made GNU and Linux so successful.
Your choice of interviewee will determine my conclusion, unless you explicitly respond with an official Phoronix (or official Michael) position on FOSS principles...
And the capital needed for the development of games on the level of Crysis comes from?
This is a genuine, non-trollish question as I would seriously like to know of any existing or theoretical business models that can support such a thing. It's not like you can build a support service around a single player game.
I second allquixotic' words. If he is programming proprietary and devotes only msecs of time to bash everything opensource, he is not far from Icaza Idiot.
Errm... maybe I'm going mad but I could have sworn I made a post here. Why was it deleted?
Nevermind, I realise what I posted was partially incorrect. Fair enough.

The LG water filter works as it is expected to do. It is very easy to insert into the refrigerator, but it takes too long to flush the system before the water is ready to drink. Five minutes of filling a container and emptying it in the sink is unreasonable not to mention wasteful.

Olive Leaf Heaven!
I've used this scent and this product for years and when I need a relaxing soak to soothe away a tough day, long bike ride or feel calmed...this is it! This is my time, my bath and I'm centered and content afterward.
My first Thymes love
Olive Leaf was the first Thymes scent I fell in love with years ago... then there was Fig and Cassis; but that relationship was doomed due to cancelation. There were many other wonderful Thymes after; but there is nothing like your first love. I forgot how much I love Olive Leaf! The beautiful scent lingers and even blends well when I wash my hands with Fraiser Fir hand soap in the kitchen. Olive Leaf, (all in the line), is a warm coming home to a renewed love.
Lovely aroma
This is my favorite fragrance from Thymes. The bubbles are not so overblown that you can't enjoy a soothing bath but there are plenty of them. Water feels silky on my skin.
Beyond relaxing - enjoyable
Just what I needed - relaxing but going further. The fragance has low and medium notes. Stays with you long after you are finished with your bath. This is definitely a keeper.

Continuity Q&A: David Johnson On Leveraging Crisis Communications For Reputation Resilience

Results vs. St. Leo's University (2007-04-07 13:00:00)
April 7, 2007
Senior attackman Ryan Harris (Vestal, N.Y.) scored the game-winning goal 1:11 into overtime to lift the Saint Leo University lacrosse team (6-6) to a 12-11 victory over visiting Pfeiffer University on Saturday afternoon at University Field.
SLU opened the scoring with two quick goals to take a 2-0 lead. However, Pfeiffer quickly answered with 6 different Falcon's (5 of them freshmen) scoring goals to take the lead 6-2 with 5:11 remaining in the opening half. A brief let down by the Falcons at the end of the second quarter saw Saint Leo narrow the margin with three consecutive goals to close the half, making it a 6-5 Pfeiffer lead at the break.
The Lions outscored the Falcons 3-2 in the third period to send the teams into the final quarter tied at eight goals apiece. The teams then exchanged goals in the fourth quarter with Pfeiffer taking an 11-10 lead with 5:21 left in regulation. Turning down several great looks at the cage, the young Falcons appeared content to leave Florida with a one-goal victory. With possession of the ball and under two minutes remaining Pfeiffer committed an egregious slashing penalty with 31-seconds left in the game. This mistake proved costly, as it provided the SLU with the ball, and an Extra-Man opportunity. During their man-up opportunity Nick Bova (Fr., Eureka, Mo.) netted the game-tying goal with just 18-seconds remaining in the contest.
In overtime, Pfeiffer Goalie Jimmy Dykes (Fr., Bel Air, Md) recorded his 9th and biggest save of the game. The Falcons turned this huge save into a true fast break opportunity; however, his counterpart SLU Goalie David Erdman (Fr., Mt. Sinai, N.Y.) returned the favor by stopping a point blank potential game winner. Following this save, the Falcons committed only their third penalty of the game, which gave the Lions yet another costly Extra-Man opportunity, this time for the win. Harris then scored his goal 1:11 into overtime for his second OT game-winner this year.

I am very. very pleased with all of the Amanti shirts that I have purchased here so far. The fit is good, the color holds in the laundry, and they are easy to iron (after a few washings). I know they are perma-press, but I don't have a dryer and his work shirts have to be creased on the sleeves. These shirts are perfect, and the price is definitely right! I ordered the wrong size at first, and the return / exchange policy is easy.
My son seldom wears dress shirts and never irons. He appreciated this shirt for an occasion where a white dress shirt was needed. It appears to be good quality and he'll be able to use it for a long time.
Good sizing and fit; the cotton/polyester blend makes ironing easy or unneeded. The lack of removable collar stays is an added bonus; one last thing to forget about and get lost in the wash if they are not removed before laundering. Good value.
I rarely can find my size locally and am delighted to report the shirt fit perfectly. After first wearing, I found it to look great. I don't frequently wear dress shirts mainly because I find them to be stuffy. This shirt is comfortable and could easily become an everyday garment. It' amazing what a difference the correct fit means. Overstock's price made it easy to like as well.
Great value for the price - it is truly wrinkle-free!!!
I bought two of these shirts. I laundered one of them and when pulling it out of the dryer, it was obvious that it not only needed to be ironed (like some wrinkle-free or wrinkle-resistant shirts do), but that it needed to be ironed as if weren't a wrinkle-free shirt at all. Pulling it right out of the dryer it was obvious that it was not even close to looking like it was ready to wear, that is how wrinkled it was. So, I ironed the shirt and tried it on and the fit was horrific. It was way too small. The sleeves were too short and the shirt was tight. I am now in the process of paying to have the unopened shirt returned to Overstock (their return process is a whole other review, believe me!), and I will be stuck with a shirt that doesn't fit.

An ongoing shift in global economic activity from developed to developing economies, accompanied by growth in the number of consumers in emerging markets, are the global developments that executives around the world view as the most important for business and the most positive for their own companies' profits over the next five years. Executives also identify two other critical positive aspects of globalization: technologies that enable a free flow of information worldwide and, increasingly, global labor markets. These four trends, of the ten we asked about, also are the ones that the biggest share of respondents—around half—say their companies have taken active steps to address.
In this sixth annual survey asking executives about the forces shaping the world economy,1 1. The online survey, in the field in March 2010, generated responses from 1,416 executives around the world, representing the full range of industries, regions, functional specialties, and seniority. there is little change in how respondents view the importance of global trends compared with previous years—either for business in general or for their own companies' profits (Exhibit 1). Clearly, the financial crisis and economic downturn have not shaken these key trends. Continued faith in the positive effects of globalization combined with a move away from short-term planning likely reflects rebounding optimism about global economic prospects and is consistent with the findings of other McKinsey surveys on the economy.2 2. See, for example, "Economic Conditions Snapshot, April 2010: McKinsey Global Survey results," mckinseyquarterly.com, April 2010.
In addition to our annual questions on individual global trends, this year's survey explores for the first time five interconnected themes that highlight the opportunities and challenges faced by global economic integration itself and by companies seeking to profit from it: growth in emerging markets; labor productivity and talent management; the global flow of goods, information, and capital; natural-resource management; and the increasing role of governments.
The findings show that the global economy faces significant challenges as it continues to integrate. For example, most respondents—63 percent—expect increased overall volatility to become a permanent feature of the global economy, and another 23 percent see sharply higher levels of volatility that will undermine the economy's robustness. In addition, high levels of public debt are a headache in Europe and North America, where most executives fear the debt will have a negative impact on GDP growth.
There are specific corporate challenges too. Half of the respondents are only somewhat optimistic they will be able to find the right talent to meet their companies' strategic goals. Likewise, only half of the executives reported that their companies have taken steps to address the shift in global economic activity from developed to developing economies—the force that is reshaping the global economy more than any other.
Emerging markets, with populations that are young and growing, will increasingly become not only the focus of rising consumption and production but also major providers of capital, talent, and innovation. This will make it imperative for most companies to succeed in emerging markets. However, no more than 40 percent of executives at companies headquartered in developed economies expect a quarter or more of revenues over the next five years to come from emerging markets—and 10 percent expect none.
To capture growth from emerging markets, the actions most often taken—each cited by around half of the respondents—are building a local presence, developing partnerships or joint ventures with local companies, recruiting talent from emerging markets, and developing new business models (Exhibit 2). Executives representing Chinese and Indian companies report they are developing new business models at a significantly higher rate than companies from any other region. Perhaps more surprising, respondents at companies headquartered in North America report significantly lower rates of actions to capture emerging-market growth than those from any other region, with fully 20 percent reporting no actions at all taken to capture emerging-market growth. In addition, large and public companies significantly outpace small and private ones in pursuing actions to capture emerging-market growth.
On risks faced by their companies in emerging markets, executives cite breach of intellectual property (40 percent), volatility of currency or exchange rates (38 percent), geopolitical instability (26 percent), and lower safety and quality standards (26 percent) as the top four. Executives at North American, high-tech, and telecom companies are most concerned about IP, while companies in the financial sector worry most about currency volatility and energy companies about geopolitical instability.
Low birth rates and graying workforces in most developed economies will make it hard for them to achieve steady growth unless they continue to make sizable gains in labor productivity. A majority of all respondents, 62 percent, do expect moderate gains in the next five to ten years in developed economies, and another 13 percent expect the gains to be significant.
Nonetheless, developed and developing economies alike must become more innovative at sourcing talented employees, whether by tapping global labor markets or making better use of older workers. Just less than 40 percent of executives are "very" or "extremely confident," and around half are "somewhat confident," that their companies will have the right kinds of talent to meet their strategic goals over the next five years. Notably, respondents at companies based in developing markets largely share the same views as those from developed markets on this point.
The greatest projected talent shortfalls are in three functions—management, R&D, and strategy—with significant variations between executives in different regions (Exhibit 3). Interestingly, executives in China are much more concerned about a shortage of management talent than they are about R&D specialists. For India, it is the reverse.
Companies are shifting their strategic planning from crisis mode to a more balanced consideration of short-term profitability and long-term strategic issues: one-third now focus equally on the short and long terms, compared with one-fifth in 2009.
When indicating where their companies will find the talent they need, executives most often cite talent from emerging markets to work there (44 percent), new talent entering developed labor markets (41 percent), and talent from developed markets deployed to emerging markets (35 percent). North American companies, their executives say, are counting more than all others on sourcing talent in developed economies, including retrained talent (30 percent) and talent from increased labor pools due to delayed retirement (25 percent). This is consistent with the lower number of actions North American companies are taking to capture emerging-market growth.
Executives are generally optimistic that the relatively free flow of goods and capital—two core drivers of globalization—will survive the financial crisis and the economic downturn. However, few see much further progress occurring in the next five years, a finding that is consistent with the modest hopes for multilateral cooperation also seen in this survey.
Sixty-two percent of respondents expect moderate increases in global trade flows, but just 20 percent see a significant increase. As for the integration of capital markets, a majority—59 percent—expect capital flows of the major developed economies to be integrated while many other countries continue to restrict capital flows. Another 18 percent predict that capital markets will be mostly integrated, with only a few countries restricting flows. Respondents in North America and Europe are least optimistic, with only 1 and 2 percent, respectively, expecting fully integrated, seamless capital markets; in contrast, 5 percent of executives in China and Latin America think this will be the case.
The free global flow of information has already resulted in radical pricing transparency and new networks of engaged consumers, and this probably is only the beginning. Disruptive changes in consumer behavior could have great impact on business over the next five years. Executives expect that the most powerful effects on their companies will be increased innovation, greater consumer awareness and knowledge, and increased product and service customization (Exhibit 4).
Executives' concerns about the impact that increasing constraints on the supply or usage of natural resources will have on their companies' profits appear to be subsiding despite the prominence of these issues in the public debate today. Twenty-five percent of respondents now expect this trend to have a negative effect on their company's profits, down from 28 percent in last year's survey and 33 percent two years ago.
Energy and manufacturing continue to be outliers. Forty-five percent of manufacturing-sector executives expect negative effects on profits. Among energy executives, few are indifferent: 34 percent expect a negative impact, but a much larger share—59 percent—see a positive impact on profits.
Only one-third of all respondents—and four out of ten in North America—profess not to consider natural-resource constraints to have a significant role in their strategies. When executives select the actions their companies are taking to ensure access to the resources they need, the most common response is that they are conserving energy to reduce the need for natural resources (Exhibit 5).
Executives in Europe and North America are haunted by the perception of crippling public-debt levels: 54 and 61 percent, respectively, think that public-debt levels will have a "significant" or "severely negative" impact on GDP growth in their home markets. In contrast, 45 percent of respondents in China and 24 percent in India expect that the level of public debt will have a "positive" impact or "no impact" in their home markets.
In a pattern consistent across nearly all regions, executives view government's role in their companies' home markets over the next five years somewhat differently than do executives from other regions. For instance, 64 percent of all respondents characterize the Chinese government as the principal actor in that country's economy (Exhibit 6), compared with only 49 percent of respondents based in China.
Respondents were also asked whether government actions in the previous 12 to 18 months have increased the likelihood of companies to invest in certain countries. China scored highest, with 27 percent of all respondents saying their companies are "more" or "much more likely" to invest there. Smaller groups of respondents say the same for India (25 percent), Brazil (24 percent), and the United States (21 percent). Russia fares the worst, with only 9 percent saying their companies are "more likely" to invest there; 25 percent say their companies are "less likely" to invest.
Finally, only between 20 and 30 percent of executives say multilateral cooperation (governmental and nongovernmental) will be "very" or "extremely effective" in addressing the following big global issues: climate change, financial crises, free trade, nuclear proliferation, and terrorism. Respondents in North America hold out the dimmest hopes for success. Executives in emerging markets are much more optimistic about multilateral institutions' ability to achieve progress on each of these issues.
Capturing the opportunities offered by growth in emerging markets—the trend executives say is the most important—will require retooling existing business models and reconfiguring companies' price/value equations.
Managing the risks of that trend also will be crucial: respondents express a great deal of trepidation about geopolitical instability and market volatility in emerging markets, so strategies to assess the likelihood of these conditions and manage their risk will be vital.
Technology will continue to materially reshape consumer awareness, choice, and interactivity models, and companies should be striving to tap the power of technology to improve their competitive advantage.

Timberlane superintendent apologizes for lunch policy mistake that prevented food purchase on credit
The Timberlane Regional School District policy states that high school students can charge a la carte items at the cafeteria as long as they have less than $20 of debt.
"I've spoke to (superintendent Earl) Metzler four times this year about my daughter being denied something when the policy states that it goes to negative $20," said Kimberly Budreau. "She has never been at negative $20; she has been at zero, negative 10 cents and negative $1.10. And she happens to be a type I diabetic, but whether she was or not, I'd be frustrated about the policies you choose to adhere to and the ones you do not."
"We looked at the a la carte items at the high school, and students are able to charge up to $20," said Metzler.
Metzler apologized for the incident and said he would remain on top of making sure the high school follows the policy.
Metzler said he spoke to the food services department at the high school last year and told them that Budreau's daughter is diabetic should not be denied juice or water no matter what her balance is.

Devita M.Snellville, GaUse This Product & Problem Solved!!!!!This is the best product ever! I have a 3 1/2 year who came out the womb sucking his thumb. Since using MAVALA Stop 4 days ago my toddler is definitely on the way to breaking this habit. if he puts his thumb in his mouth it it out with the quickness - he says it tastes like "A HOT Nail, Mommy"! its hilarious! I will continue to use until the habit has completely gone. This stuff even works in his sleep!!! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!posted Jan 23, 2011Link to this post
LinciaDouglasville GaGood StuffMy 21 month old started sucking her thumb after I stop breastfeeding(5 1/2mths). I tried everything until a friend mention this product to me. I tried it when she was about 12 months but of course I didn't read the directions and it didn't work. A child tastebud has to be developed in order for this to work. I noticed she started to have a distaste for certain foods so I figured her tastebud has been developed. This stuff is amazing!!! After 3 days, NO MORE THUMBSUCKING. She doesn't show any interest in sucking her thumb and that's great. I recommend it highly and I will definitely spread the word.posted Jan 19, 2011Link to this post
BenjaminNew JerseyPurchased For My 2 And 1/2 Year Old Son...Did not stop him from sucking his index and middle fingers on his left hand (these are the only two fingers he will suck, he won't suck any others). After trying gloves that lock with small belts for about 8 months, we got tired and hoped the bitterness in this product would do something, but no, he keeps sucking with the bitterness in his mouth. And this stuff IS bitter like heck, but I think we need a toddler psychiatrist, not Mavala Stop.posted Dec 23, 2010Link to this post
PattyRiverdale NJIt Took One Day OnlyMy 2 1/2 year old son had that bad habit of bitting his nails.
I put the Mavala Stop only on top of his fingernails at night and instructed him not to touch it, well he did put it in his mouth and he vomitted immediately after that he did not touch his nails any more that night, he said "those are yuckies" Next day at the day care he forgot and put his finger in his mouth and vomitted again and after that he doesn't do it anymore.
I don't know how bad it taste but it works
Thank youposted Dec 6, 2010Link to this post -
CathyNew YorkBest Stuff Ever!!BEST PRODUCT EVER. AFTER ONLY ONE APPLICATION, MY FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER STOPPED SUCKING HER FINGERS!! I'M AMAZED. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF. I CONTINUED USING IT FOR A WEEK JUST TO BE SURE, BUT AFTER ONE NIGHT, SHE HAS NOT SUCKED HER FINGERS AGAIN.posted Nov 12, 2010Link to this post
MicheleUSAStop Nail Biting Now!My five year old started biting his nails. The product tastes really bad. I put it on my own nails prior to doing his. Teaches you to keep your hands away from your mouth. The first time he tasted it he really reacted. He got more used to it, but does not bite his nails. I have to renew the product every 1.5 days- a little more frequent than stated on the label. Probably because he does so much and wears it off. All in all it works well so far. I could not find this product in the stores around me. Thanks.posted Oct 19, 2010Link to this post
CathyNew York, USAExcellent Results, Stop Nail Biting/finger Sucking!!! Great StuffBEST PRODUCT EVER. MY DAUGHTER STOPPED SUCKING HER FINGERS AND BITING HER NAILS IN AFTER THE FIRST APPLICATION. SHE HAS BEEN USING THIS IN THE MORNING AND BEFORE BED AND FOR TWO WEEKS NOW HAS NOT BITTEN HER NAILS OR SUCKED HER FINGERS. I THINK THIS IS WONDERFUL STUFF. THE FIRST NIGHT, SHE CRIED....SHE IS ONLY 4YRS OLD. BUT AFTER THAT, SHE WANTS TO BE THE ONE TO APPLY THIS...AND SHE DOES IT ALL BY HERSELF, I HOLD THE BOTTLE SO SHE DOESNT SPILL IT. BUY IT, TRY IT, YOU WILL BE HAPPY FOR SURE!posted Sep 30, 2010Link to this post
Margie B.This Product Is Amazing...My 7 year old has sucked her thumb since she was in the womb. I had tried everything to get her to stop. I used this product for three days and she has not sucked her thumb in over a month. She is excited because she no longer wants to suck her thumb and I am thrilled that she no longer sucks her thumb. I would recommend this to any person who has a child that sucks their thumb or bites their nails.posted Sep 14, 2010Link to this post
StephanieWorth, ILMavala- A Product That Actually Does What It Says!!!I had purchased this about 5 years ago to help my youngest daughter to stop sucking her fingers ( middle & ring fingers) I put it on..she didnt like it at all, but it worked! she had broken her habit right away! I lent it to someone and never get it back...I just purchased it again to help the same daughter to stop bitting her nails. It is working but I have to remember to put it on. This product is a great purchase, very much worth the money and I would buy it again if I needed it!posted Aug 29, 2010Link to this post
