Friday, June 26, 2015 4:00pmAiring on Friday, June 26, 2015: The Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling expanding marriage rights to same-sex couples changes the financial landscape for gays and lesbians in the U.S. We tally the implications when it comes to taxes, federal benefits, job mobility and so on. Next: This could be another record breaking weekend at the box office, with three huge movies primed to haul in millions. Hollywood is having quite the summer and it has barely started. But can it last? Marketplace explores.
Thursday, June 25, 2015 4:00pmAiring on Thursday, June 25, 2015: The Department of Education is bailing on its giant college ratings system, but plans to launch a website this summer that will let users compare colleges against a series of yet unnamed criteria, which may include employment and earnings data and graduation rates. How useful will the site be for students? Marketplace explores. Next: Marketplace's Kai Ryssdal talks to Funny Or Die CEO Dick Clover and President Mike Farah for Marketplace's newest installment of "Conversations from the Corner Office." The team talks about surviving the recession, taking risks and attracting A-list talent.
Wednesday, June 24, 2015 4:00pmAiring on Wednesday, June 24, 2015: A merger between Sysco, a marketing and distribution food corporation, and US Foods has been put to a halt by a federal judge – a victory for the Federal Trade Commission. But on the retail end, European grocery chains Ahold and Delhaize are merging, which will make them the fifth-largest grocery operator here in the U.S. Next: Marketplace's Kai Ryssdal talks to Judd Apatow about his new book, "Sick in the Head," and about the comedy business. The "Bridesmaids" producer talks about his comedic beginnings, success, and mentoring young comics.
Tuesday, June 23, 2015 4:00pmAiring on Monday, June 23, 2015: Massachusetts has scrapped the decades-old method of defining low-income students in public schools based on income information submitted on applications for free and reduced-price lunches. The new measure relies on whether families receive benefits like food stamps, and it has "reduced" the number of kids classified as poor. Marketplace looks at this new assessment, its potential impact on school funding and whether it will catch on in other states. Next, Darden Restaurants, owner of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, announced plans to separate part of the business into a real estate investment trust. Marketplace looks at how this spin-off/lease-back works and how it makes money for Darden and other companies using it.
Monday, June 22, 2015 4:00pmAiring on Monday, June 22, 2015: Sales of existing homes increased by about 5 percent in May, reaching their highest level since 2009. We look at what's behind this housing number, and the role of first-time buyers—who accounted for about 30 percent of transactions—in this increase. Next: Instacart is reclassifying part of its workforce as part-timers to get out of the independent contractor issue, which is threatening to drop an anvil on the sharing economy. We'll use that as the way in, and also look at other approaches to solving this problem, such as the push to create a "dependent contractor," which would be the first new job classification in years.

Breathe in, breathe out.
Hands don't get a ton of love in the bike world, but they should. They're the interface between your body and your bike, so if they're rubbed raw, sore, and bruised, you won't be able to control your bike as well you'd like. Giro's Xen Gloves take hand protection to the next level, with plenty of DH-ready padding and XC-caliber breathability.
The upper part of your hand (knuckles, upper fingers, and outer portion) is covered by Giro's sonic-welded armor, which is accented by breathable mesh to keep your hands protected and cool. At the heel of your palm, Poron XRD padding is soft until impact, at which point it stiffens to keep your palms from getting shredded when you go over the bars. Flex zones at the knuckles and silicone print at the fingertips keep your digits dexterous and your braking reliable, respectively, and the three-piece Super Fit Clarino palm is hooked up with 2mm Technogel padding to reduce vibrations without making it feel like you're gripping your bars while wearing mittens.

- Fit: True to size
Height: 6' 1"Weight: 200 lbs
Have worn these gloves for the past few seasons. super comfortable, great fit. Always seem to rip the seam between my thumb & pointer tho...
Tons of Miles with them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 10"Weight: 165 lbsSize Purchased: large
I've had 4-5 pairs of these over the past few years & they are pretty good gloves. I keep a couple in the rotation so I always have a clean pair
I would have given 5 stars but my latest pair self destructed after just a few uses. I sent them back but still have 3 I use.
I'm a pretty solid large in most gloves & this one fits the same.
Won't last
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are extremely comfortable so I was hoping they would be my go to gloves. After about 5 or 6 rides the stitching near the joint of the my left index finger came completely undone. Returned!
Not durable
After half a dozen rides and one fall the palm completely ripped open. Unless you never plan on falling avoid these. One star because I can't give zero apparently.

Before the Dawn (Mass Market Paperbound)
Leah Barnett can't believe how far fate has carried her: from Boston to the towering Colorado Rockies...and into the life of an angry, ruggedly sexy man. Ryder Damien is not about to welcome this beauty with open arms, however, especially since Leah was the one who won the affection of Ryder's late father and now may inherit, his considerable wealth. But when she stands before him in the flesh -- proud, vulnerable, and intoxicatingly lovely -- desire replaces hatred in Ryder's heart. Yet can passion survive this wild land and its dangerous men...and the most breathtaking peril: untamed love?

Benny Morris: Israel's Endangered Left
Benny Morris is a professor of history in the Middle East Studies Department of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. His most recent book is One State, Two States: Resolving the Israel/Palestine Conflict (Yale University Press, 2009).
According to many liberals and left wingers, Israel's democracy is under attack and under threat, with politicians currently promoting a series of laws that will curtail press freedom, left-wing NGO activities and the independence of the Supreme Court. One commentator, while agreeing that Israel is still a liberal democracy, defined what the right-wing coalition government, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is doing as "nibbling away" at the foundations of Israeli democracy.
Meanwhile, last summer's mass protests calling for "social justice"— cheaper food and housing, higher wages and jobs for the unemployed—have petered out. The small tent encampments that sprang up in major towns now are cleared out, while most of the proposals of the Trachtenburg Committee, designed to alleviate some of the more prominent ills, are mired in the governmental bureaucracy and in Knesset committees. Nothing practical has yet resulted from the protests, partly because the Defense Ministry is steadfastly refusing to cut its budget—accounting for some 20 percent of state spending—in light of the growing Arab Islamist and Iranian threats to the country.
In an unprecedented public appearance last week, Dorit Beinish, the outgoing president of the Supreme Court, denounced the bills currently under deliberation in the Knesset and the cabinet as an incitement against the court and as jeopardizing Israel's democratic values....

BBM for Android gets unveiled on video
BlackBerry has to do something to get into the limelight with Microsoft announcing its acquisition of Nokia's Devices and Services division, and Google with its unveiling of Android 4.4 KitKat, don't they?
Before it's launch, we now have a look at BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) for Android, with a leaked video, above. The interface definitely looks nice, but is it enough to have people flocking to the messaging platform in the midst of apps like WhatsApp, and others? I don't know... tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

BlackBerry launches landing page for BBM for Android. Its coming
Those of you though been waiting diligently for BlackBerry to launch a BlackBerry Messenger will not have to wait very much longer. BlackBerry has just launched a new landing page for BlackBerry Messenger for Android, on the company's corporate website.
Judging by the information giving on the landing page, it appears that BBM will only feature text messaging at launch and it will slowly roll out voice and video messaging later this fall. While there is still no official launch date, the release appears to be imminent in should only be a few days/weeks away now. With Android being the dominate Mobile OS for quite sometime now, it makes on wonder why BlackBerry took so long to come to their senses and release the app.
Digg for Android arrives in the Google Play Store, features Reader
Today Digg launched its first Android App, which very closely matches its iOS counterpart. The new app features support for Digg's new Reader service, a RSS feed importer designed to replace the now defunct Google Reader. The app is available for download now in the Google Play Store.
The new app also allows users to share their Diggs, and RSS stories on read-it-later apps as well as social networks. Unfortunately those who like to use the "unread-only" filter will be a little disappointed as it is not present in the android application. Personally I feel that this Digg is a little too late to the party with its App as Feedly is doing a wonderful job on my PC, Tablet, and HTC One at serving up content from my 100+ feeds.
Yahoo updates Flickr for iOS app, now includes 100% more filters
This morning Yahoo rolled out an update to its Flickr for iOS app that ushers in several new photo filters as well as the ability to customize filters and tailor them to suit your taste. Additionally the application has a new feature which the Flickr team is calling "Live Preview"
Live Preview is a new concept that we have not seen on many apps in the past. This feature allows you to preview the selected filter in real-time before taking the photo. This allows you to see which filter looks best for the scene you are composing before you press the shutter button. Rounding things out, the app now includes a few handy features such as a grid, focus and exposure locks, pinch-to-zoom, and even includes new tools like sharpening, color balancing, and levels adjustments.
Android set to get Aereo's internet-based TV service in September
The popular Internet-based television service Aereo will be headed to Android devices next month if a report from the International Business Times is correct in which Aereo's CEO Chet Kanojia confirmed the pending Android launch. By expanding to Android, Aereo would greatly expand its reach to US viewers as android has a significantly larger market share that Apple's iOS.
Aereo works by using an array of small antennas to capture broadcast TV signals and then stream them for the Internet to its users. Of course as you can imagine, this business model has not done much to please the broadcast TV industry. Nevertheless Aereo has managed to become successful in New York City, Boston and Atlanta, and is expected to be a hit in Miami, Houston, Dallas and Chicago when it launches in those markets later next month.
Control app for Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch leaks in screenshots
Everyone's favorite leakster is at it again! This time the infamous @evleaks has posted a pair of screenshots that show off the new management app for Samsung's upcoming smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear. The images show that the smartwatch will pair to Samsung Galaxy devices via near field communication (NFC) instead of the assumed Bluetooth 4.0.
As expected the Apple also let users change the clock face, manage their Samsung apps, and even help users find their misplaced or lost watch. This system is quite similar to that on Sony smartwatch, as well as be quite successful Pebble smartwatch. Not much else is known about the Galaxy Gear, but all will be revealed in just a few days when Samsung launches the Galaxy Gear at the IFA trade show in Berlin Germany. Stay tuned to TweakTown for full coverage of IFA 2013 and the Galaxy Gear from Samsung.
Twitter adds a 'report abuse' button to all platforms
After an outcry in UK over rape and bomb threats sent to female journalists and a member of Parliament, Twitter has updated all of its platforms with a 'report abuse' button. The social networking/microblogging site is also adding more staff to help go through the flagged tweets from the rape and bomb threats.
This all began with UK activist Caroline Criado-Perez, who successfully lobbied to have novelist Jane Austen featured on a UK banknote. People seemed to be completely outraged at this, after which she was slammed with multiple rape threats over Twitter.
It culminated in one of her followers opening up a Change.org petition pressing Twitter to make it easier to report abuse. Before Twitter implemented this change, users needed to search the site in order to find out how to report abusive messages. The Change.org petition was a huge success, taking in over 139,000 signatures.

Facebook Home updated with lock screen music controls and more
Facebook for Android has just been updated, with some big Facebook Home changes. Facebook Home for Android now includes music controls on the lock screen during playback, which is nice.
But, it doesn't end there: there's also animated stickers now available in messages. Not a huge update, but the music controls in the lock screen is definitely a nice addition. I've tried out Facebook Home on my Galaxy S4, and I don't know what to think. If your life centers around Facebook, which many do, then it might be nice to check this out.

text: on Apr 15, 2013 @ 10:30 AMApr 15, 2013 @ 10:30 AM PublishedCitigroup profit rises 31 percent as investment banking growsBy David Henry and Tanya Agrawal(Reuters) - Citigroup Inc <C.N> reported a higher-than-expected 31 percent rise in first-quarter profit on Monday as revenue from its securities and investment banking business swelled.The No. 3 U.S. bank said on Monday that net income rose to $3.8 billion (2.4 billion pounds), or $1.23 per share, in the period -- the first full quarter under Chief Executive Michael Corbat -- from $2.9 billion, or 95 cents per share, a year earlier."During the quarter, we benefited from seasonally strong results in our markets businesses, sustained momentum in investment banking, continued year-over-year growth in loans and deposits in Citicorp, and a more favourable credit environment," Corbat said in a statement.Under Corbat Citigroup partly recovered from its embarrassing failure last year under former CEO Vikram Pandit to win approval from the Federal Reserve after a stress test for its plan to distribute capital.Citigroup shares were up 2.7 percent at $46 before the bell.The company scored higher capital levels on a new test and received approval in March for its cautious application to spend $1.2 billion on stock buybacks. Citigroup has not asked to raise its quarterly dividend from its nominal level of one cent per share.Excluding certain accounting adjustments, net income rose to $4.0 billion, or $1.29 per share, in the latest quarter, from $3.4 billion, or $1.11 per share, a year earlier.Analysts on average had forecast earnings of $1.17 per share before the certain accounting adjustments.Total revenue rose 6 percent to $20.5 billion. Expenses fell 10 percent to $12.4 billion from the fourth quarter.The bank said its net interest margin for the first quarter was 2.94 percent, up marginally from 2.93 percent in the fourth quarter.MORE LOAN LOSS RESERVES RELEASEDCitigroup, which is reviewing some of its weaker operations around the world, said revenue from its securities trading and investment banking business rose 31 percent to $6.98 billion.The results were also lifted by the release of $652 million in loss reserves, of which $351 million was from the Citi Holdings portfolio that is largely composed of mortgage assets. These assets are tied to U.S. house prices, which have been rising.Under Corbat, who took over October, Citigroup took a more cautious approach on loan loss reserves in the fourth quarter, releasing just $86 million.The profit contributed to an increase in Citigroup's Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio, a key regulatory measure of capital, to 9.3 percent at the end of March from 8.7 percent three months earlier, the company said."All they have to do is a get a little better, and they can get back to a valuation closer to their competitors," said Mark Mandell, portfolio manager at Dalton Investments in Santa Monica, California, which owns Citigroup shares.Citigroup's adjusted results exclude the impact of changes in value of debt and obligations of its trading partners.Citigroup shares rose 13.2 percent this year through Friday. In the same period, the KBW Bank stock index rose 9.6 percent and Standard & Poor's 500 stock index rose 11.4 percent.(Reporting by David Henry in New York and Tanya Agrawal in Bangalore; Editing by Supriya Kurane)

'Can there be any doubt that Almighty God will, in His own time and way, pass judgment upon our state, its leaders and citizens, for abandoning His commands and embracing public immorality? I encourage Catholics to pray for God's patience, mercy and forgiveness in these distressing times' (Bishop Thomas J. Tobin)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/3/2011 (4 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Gay marriage, homosexual marriage, civil unions, Rhode Island, Bishop Thomas Tobin, Religious persecution, catholic, Marriage, family, culture, Deacon Keith Fournier
PROVIDENCE, RI (Catholic Online) - Bishop Thomas J. Tobin is a faithful and courageous Catholic Bishop. He has stood strong in his defense of the dignity of every human person from conception to natural death as well as his defense of true marriage and the family and society founded upon it. He has also tried to help erring Catholics, including Catholic politicians in his own Diocese, to turn from error and turn toward the truth.
This good Bishop is now faced with the continuing moral erosion which has as one of its bad fruits, the movement to eliminate marriage and the family and society founded upon it by giving a moral and legal equivalency to homosexual relationships. Last week New York passed the "Marriage Equality Act" which uses the Police power of the State to force a legal equivalency between homosexual partnerships and authentic marriage between a man and a woman. On Wednesday of this week the Rhode Island state Senate passed HB 6103 which authorizes same-sex civil unions and gives them the same rights and responsibilities as married couples.
On June 3, 2003 the then Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger issued a directive entitled "Considerations regarding Proposals to Give Legal recognition To Unions Between Homosexual persons." It clearly rejected any effort to give equivalent legal status to homosexual unions. It restated the unbroken tradition of the Catholic Christian Church for two thousand years. It sought to help Bishops to direct Catholics in Public Life:
"The present Considerations do not contain new doctrinal elements; they seek rather to reiterate the essential points on this question and provide arguments drawn from reason which could be used by Bishops in preparing more specific interventions, appropriate to the different situations throughout the world, aimed at protecting and promoting the dignity of marriage, the foundation of the family, and the stability of society, of which this institution is a constitutive element. The present Considerations are also intended to give direction to Catholic politicians by indicating the approaches to proposed legislation in this area which would be consistent with Christian conscience"
There is a cultural revolution underway led by those on the fringes of the homosexual activist community who will stop at nothing less than legal "equivalency" between homosexual unions and true marriage. Having learned from the verbal engineering of the movement to make the taking of innocent life in the womb through abortion "a right", they are master manipulators of the language. They have reframed their anti-marriage movement as a movement for "marriage equality" much like the proponents of abortion succeeded in calling killing the unborn a "choice."
Catholics must be honest about some in our own house. Purporting to speak for the Church or to promote some "new way", some Catholic Politicians undermine the Church, do violence to the truth, cause scandal, injure the common good and put their own souls in jeopardy. They hide behind a self erected "public/private" dichotomy in rejecting their duty to defend the right to life and protect marriage and the family and society founded upon it. They engage in sophistry to explain away their error. They are not only being unfaithful to the truths proclaimed by their own Church, they are undermining the common good. The directive spoke forcefully to these folks:
"If it is true that all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians. Faced with legislative proposals in favor of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are to take account of the following ethical indications. When legislation in favor of the recognition of homosexual unions is proposed for the first time in a legislative assembly, the Catholic law-maker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favor of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral."
The directive also addressed the whole of civil society: "Since this question relates to the natural moral law, the arguments that follow are addressed not only to those who believe in Christ, but to all persons committed to promoting and defending the common good of society." The document presents a lucid, solid, powerful defense of the truth about marriage and family. Yes, it presents this truth from within biblical revelation and the Christian Tradition. However, like all of the Church's Social Doctrine, it also does so from the order of right reason, the natural law, the biological and anthropological order, the social order and the legal order. That is because truth is truth.
The Prefect for the Congregation who issued the directive, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, is now Pope Benedict XVI. He continues to insist that Catholics in political life defend marriage and family. Just as Catholic politicians must support the right to life for unborn persons they must support marriage: "When legislation in favor of the recognition of homosexual unions is proposed for the first time in a legislative assembly, the Catholic law-maker has a moral duty to express his opposition clearly and publicly and to vote against it. To vote in favor of a law so harmful to the common good is gravely immoral".
Bishop Tobin issued the following statement on the Approval of Civil Unions in Rhode Island:
"I am deeply disappointed that Rhode Island will establish civil unions in our state. The concept of civil unions is a social experiment that promotes an immoral lifestyle, is a mockery of the institution of marriage as designed by God, undermines the well-being of our families, and poses a threat to religious liberty.
"In this context it is my obligation to remind Catholics of the teachings of the Church on this matter. First, the Church continues to have respect and love for persons with same-sex attraction; they are indeed children of God and our brothers and sisters in the human family. We pray for their well-being and offer them spiritual guidance and pastoral care. We also extend our love and support to families of homosexual persons who sometimes struggle with this difficult emotional issue.
"At the same time, the Church reminds its members that homosexual activity is contrary to the natural law and the will of God and, therefore, is objectively sinful. Persons with same-sex attraction are required to live the Christian virtues of chastity and modesty, as all persons are. The importance of these virtues is clearly established in the Holy Scriptures and in the constant tradition of the Church.
"Because civil unions promote an unacceptable lifestyle, undermine the faith of the Church on holy matrimony, and cause scandal and confusion, Catholics may not participate in civil unions. To do so is a very grave violation of the moral law and, thus, seriously sinful. A civil union can never be accepted as a legitimate alternative to matrimony.
"Can there be any doubt that Almighty God will, in His own time and way, pass judgment upon our state, its leaders and citizens, for abandoning His commands and embracing public immorality? I encourage Catholics to pray for God's patience, mercy and forgiveness in these distressing times."
The legislation contained "religious exemptions". However, a group of homosexual equivalency activists calling themselves "Marriage Equality Rhode Island", purporting to represent the "LGBTI" (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Intersex) community issued this statement opposing the legislation precisely because of those religious exemptions:
"We are extremely disappointed that the Senate brazenly ignored the commonsense objections raised by equality and civil rights leaders here and across the country. This civil union bill contains dangerous and discriminatory language that, without question, will cause significant harm to countless gay and lesbian couples in loving, committed relationships, and we will continue to fight it through whatever means are necessary.
"Furthermore, we renew our request that the governor veto this hurtful and ill conceived bill. To not do so would be a slap in the face to the gay and lesbian community, and every Rhode Islander who cares about equal rights and protections for all our state's citizens."
Notice how woefully intolerant these new cultural revolutionaries are of those who disagree with their brave new world.

Who We Are
Those seeking the quintessential Adirondack community – a place to visit, a place to live, or a place to open a business – will love the Indian Lake, Blue Mountain Lake and Sabael area. Surrounded by numerous lakes, ponds, streams, and mountains our community takes pride in its heritage and traditions. You can see that spirit reflected in volunteerism, commitment to education, and an array of community services, facilities, and activities.
The Town of Indian Lake was established in 1858. The town, located in Hamilton County with a population of approximately 1,400, lies within the six-million acre Adirondack Park. Essex County and Warren County border its east. In the village center, the east-west State Highway 28 meets the north-south Highway 30. The Hudson River forms part of the eastern town line. And, believe it or not, there are no traffic lights in town!
The Indian Lake Museum in the hamlet of Indian Lake contains displays and artifacts relating to the historic Indian population.
The Indian Lake Theater Community Stage & Screen, the original 1938 theater reopened in 2008, provides entertaining movies, operas, live performances, and more for year round residents and visitors.
The Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake tells the story of the people who lived, worked, and played in the region.
The Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts (The Art center) at Blue Mountain Lake provides cultural events, workshops, and plays throughout the year.
The Indian Lake Library provides books, DVDs, audios, and access to the Internet.
The Lake itself was the inspiration for the 1960s hit single INDIAN LAKE by The Cowsills. (The writer spent vacation time at what used to be Beeches Cottages on Indian Lake.)

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.
All seats just $5.

American Legion Parker-Benton Post 1392
Meets Monthly on the First Monday at 7:00 p.m. The legion Hall was named after two local servicemen who were killed in action during WW II - Beecher Parker and Elmer Benton. Pfc. Beecher Parker was killed in Italy on 6 January, 1944 and was awarded the Silver Star for bravery in action, posthumously. His company was pinned down by heavy enemy fire, and he as part of a wire team, went out to string a communication line to the command post. The irony is that they succeeded uninjured. Then the line was knocked out and they went out again to repair it and that was when he was killed. His body was returned to the USA in 1949 and he was buried in Cedar River Cemetery. Elmer Benton was in the navy as a turret gunner on an LST and was killed in action on 28 April, 1944, he had just turned 18. He was on LST 531 which was involved in Operation Tiger, an amphibious training exercise off the southern coast of England, in preparation for D Day. German E boats attracted by the unusually high radio activity homed in and found this large non-combatant force. The fast German boats quickly closed in to torpedo as many as they could, then scoot away. Three LSTs were lost, one was crippled badly, another exploded in flames and LST 531, sank in 6 minutes.

Storage Rules in Kitchen Cabinets
Redesign and remodel storage with functionality in mind.
By: Wayne A. Endicott
Industry experts say that in addition to sustainable woods and low-impact finishes in kitchen cabinets, the functionality of kitchen cabinets is as important as the way they look.
Researchers have found the following features are among the conveniences that push buyers' hot buttons:
- Walk-in pantries are requested by approximately half of all buyers
- Tilt-out sink trays that store items like sponges and scouring pads
- Double deep trays in drawers
- Roll-out trays in base cabinets
- Wastebaskets in base cabinets
Also big on the list are kitchen islands that provide additional storage, as well as a work area for the chef of the house. In terms of design, research also pinpointed staggered height cabinets and free-standing hutches as consumer preferences.
A new feature for a cabinet line allows drawers to close softly. The Masco/Merillat Industries' Soft Action feature actually slows the closing of a drawer, much like the feature on some automobiles that prevents the trunk from being slammed. Putting storage features in corners and in close proximity to appliances such as microwaves, dishwashers, ovens and ranges also grab buyers' attention.
"Homeowners love to be surprised by what they find in storage options in kitchen cabinets," says Jim Potthast of Masco/Merillat Industries.
And the more lovely surprises, the more likely a customer is to love the kitchen.

My apologies for the imprecision. My comment about whiny posters was directed at earlier, more serious, commentators who seemed quite put out about it.

Individuals with Asperger Syndrome have typical characteristics that directly affect their ability to relate meaningfully to others. One of those characteristics is an impairment in social imagination combined with inflexible thinking and repetitive behavior. The lack of imagination can be mild or more severe. It will effect the ability those with Aspergers have to appreciate other people's point of view and there for their behavior will lack social and emotional reciprocity. But lets start at the very beginning:
An impairment in imagination is something that will be obvious from early childhood. Young children with Asperger Syndrome will have trouble with imaginative play. This means being able to pretend you are a princes or cowboy is unthinkable. Normal children learn a lot through imaginative play. They can pretend to be teachers or parents to their dolls (or siblings) and practice those adult roles through play. This will help them out in the real world later on in life.
Most children with Asperger Syndrome lack the ability to pretend. This means they will get stuck in their thinking which is focused on reality all the time. When their peers invite them to play cowboys and Indians and pretend their bikes are the horses the Asperger child will keep seeing a bike instead of a horse. He will not be able to join in. This will effect their behavior, social interaction and the way they are able to connect or relate to others. Toys may be considered fake, Halloween outfits silly and they may become loners from an early age. Most of them are interested in stuff that goes on in real life such as trains, planes, aerospace, animals or computers.
How does someone with an impairment in social imagination go through life?
Not being able to practice roles and social skills through imaginative play, those with Asperger Syndrome are bound to make many social errors. The limitations in their understanding of other people's feelings come from their lack of imagining what something must be like for some-one else.
Those with Asperger Syndrome can see things their way only. This can not be helped. It's not unwillingness but an inability to place yourself in other people's shoes and see the situation from another perspective. Their behavior can be rigid and repetitive. They are highly focused on topics or their interest and are known to be preoccupied with their own agenda.
When you are unable to place yourself in another person's situation and see things from another point of view you are likely to have big trouble interacting socially. When someone asks for your honest opinion and you give it to them, they get angry, upset or start to cry. People with Asperger miss the subtleness or tact in their language or behavior others take for granted. Feelings of other people can not be understood and social clues such as body language or facial expressions are not picked up.
Individuals with Asperger Syndrome may be unaware of other peoples feelings. Let alone taken them into consideration!
This is something people surrounding those with Asperger have to remember and understand. None of their behavior or remarks is indented to hurt you, even though they may seem very rude. Due to lack of imagination they lack empathy with your feelings and can not imagine you can get hurt!
