Getting Out of a Tough Corner
From Dean Dowd on September 15, 2008 in Kitchen Remodel
I have an older kitchen with limited storage space in the cabinets. One cabinet is a sliver that is just filling space between the wall and the stove and another is a corner cabinet that looks good until you open it to an enormous waste of space the blind corner. Nothing can be reached once its in there, so we call it the black hole. Do you have a problem similar in your cabinets? Here are some great solutions.
Lazy Susans
I used to have a large one that sits on swivels for each shelf. Canned products worked real well on it, but there was still a lot of empty space. Well, Lazy Susans have come a long way. Now you can get them installed, or install them yourself from a kit, on tracks that either pull out and pivot, or pivot out as you pull open the cabinet door. They come in single or double shelf varieties, and along with different sizes are different shapes: D shapes, half-moons, full circles, even pie shapes. As you close your cabinet door, they fit right into that empty space. The Lazy Susan sizes can be as small or as large as you need them to be.
Pull Outs
You could put baskets on those shelves, but then, if you wanted one that was behind another, you would have to pull them all out. Solution baskets that pivot, moving to the back of the cabinet when the door closes and to the front when the door opens. Pull outs come in right or left hand sliders. The door of the cabinet can also be a one-piece corner style or accordion style.
Slide Out or Roll Out Units
These are perfect for the filler space that absolutely nothing fits in except your one cookie sheet and a bunch of Tupperware lids. They come as baskets or shelves attached to the door on slider tracks. Just pull open the door and the whole unit pulls out.
Most of these units come in kits and are easily installed, or you can call your local contractor for a quick and easy install job. Now you can fill that black hole and make it useful without needing to grow 6 inches in arm length to reach anything. This is a job worth having done.

A record 496 runners crossed the finish line at the Loon Mountain Race presented by Northeast Delta Dental, held in Lincoln, New Hampshire, on Sunday July 6, 2014, of which 23 were registered in the inaugural Collegiate Mountain Running Championships.
In order to be eligible to compete and vie for prize money in the Collegiate Running Association's (CRA) Mountain Running Championships, participants had to be enrolled in a college course at the time of the race or have completed a course during the spring semester of 2014, and be current members of the CRA (a free membership).
In addition to the collegiate competition, the event also hosted the USA Mountain Running Championships where additional prize money, as well as USATF medals were awarded. At the event, the top six men and top four women across the line earned a berth on this year's U.S. Mountain Running Team which will compete at the World Mountain Running Championships in Casette di Massa, Italy, on September 14.
The course for the event included a mixture of terrain from dirt and gravel pathways to grassy meadows, steep ascents and descents over the 4.8-mile women's course and 7-mile men's course.
Co-founders of the CRA, Steve Taylor and Jon Molz, were on site at Loon to coordinate the logistics of the championships. Earlier in the year, the CRA hosted a successful inaugural road championships as part of Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k presented by Martin's with more than 1,100 CRA participants.
"Our initial goal was 10% of the race entries to be collegiates," said Taylor, "This is about were we were for the 10k. We were below this for Loon, but we're still pleased with the turnout."
Taylor's biggest fear was that some of the eligible athletes would not be pre-registered for the CRA championships so he and Molz were at packet pickup the day before the race to ensure that all of the participants knew about the championships division. It was a good strategy as a few additional collegiates were captured on Saturday including eventual winner Patrick Smyth, 27, Salt Lake City, UT.
For his top finish, Smyth was presented a check for $1000. His counterpart in the women's competition was Morgan Arritola, 28, Ketchum, ID, who also received a check for $1000. Both Smyth and Arritola were runner-ups in the open competition. Joseph Gray and Allie McLaughlin earned the U.S. Mountain Running Championship titles.
The remaining $4000 in CRA prize money – $750, $600, $400, and $250 respectively for second through fifth position – was awarded to Jordan Chavez, 20, Southlake, VA, Andrew Benford, 26, Austin, TX, Drew Best, 32, Amherst, MA, and Patrick Rich, 37, South Hamilton, MA. On the women's side Megan Deakins, 24, Mountain View, CA, Tori Tyler, 27, Danville CA, Emily Graber, 21, Richmond, VA, and Marisa Ruskan, 19, Richmond, VA, earned second through fourth money equal to the men's purse.
Regarding the inclusion of the collegiate division at Loon, co-race director of the event Paul Kirsch said, "I applaud Taylor's amazing vision to start the Collegiate Running Association. After seeing Taylor's men's T&F program canceled two years ago (at the University of Richmond), there were a lot of ways he could have reacted. He took that negative and turned it into a real chance for college students to get exposure in the sport of mountain running, which benefits all of us. I so enjoyed seeing Taylor's (Richmond) team compete and seeing Jordan (Chavez – a member of the 2013 U.S. Mountain Running Junior Team) do so well (seventh overall), is a testament to everything Taylor is working towards."
In addition to presenting sponsor Northeast Delta Dental, additional support for the Loon Mountain Race came from Seacoast Orthopedics, Salomon, Julbo, Hammer Nutrition, Road ID, 603 Brewery, and Meadow View Sugarhouse in Union, New Hampshire.

Acne. Frizz. Wrinkles. The most common beauty complaints may not be anything new—but the secrets to giving them the old heave-ho sure are. So in case you were still snoozin' when Allure's editorial projects director, Kristin Perrotta, showed off the newest breakthrough problem-solvers on The CBS Early Show today, let us give you the lowdown/low-tech-Tivo of the segment.
Old problem: Breakouts
New solution:ClearPrep by CoverFX, $39. Part foundation-primer, part acne-treatment, this silky potion keeps makeup in place while it unclogs pores and sucks up oil with salicylic acid and willowbank extract.
Old problem: Frizzy hair
New solution: No Frizz by Living Proof, $24. Think frizz-fighting isn't rocket science? Tell that to this company. They put an actual M.I.T. scientist on the case who, in turn, discovered a breakthrough molecule that repels moisture without leaving hair greasy and limp, the way silicone can. We silently thank him every rainy, humid day.
Old problem: Skimpy eyelashes
New solution: Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die For, $125. Paint it on every night, and your lashes will longer, thicker, and fuller after about a month.
Old problem: Eczema flare-ups
New solution: Aveeno Advanced Care Moisturizing Cream and Body Wash, $9.99 each. Anyone who's ever suffered through the itchiness and flakiness that is eczema knows it's no picnic. But this duo provides much-needed relief by strengthening the skin's natural moisture barrier better than anything else we've seen.
Old problem: Lines and wrinkles
New solution: Olay Pro-X, starting at $40. In company tests, this new anti-aging line went head-to-head with Renova (the hardcore prescription anti-wrinkle cream)—and matched its ability to reduce wrinkles by 25 percent.
Old problem: Smelly, hard-to-use tanners
New solutions: Aromaguard by St. Tropez, $20 to $45. Our biggest gripe with most self-tanners? That telltale stink. But new products from St. Tropez have a cool technology that reduces the odor that usually results when skin meets tanner. (The resulting color looks great, too!) Another thing that irks us? Scary facial self-tanners. But Formula Bronze Booster Self-Tanning Bronzing Veil, $14.95, comes in a unique click-pen that delivers the perfect amount of color to your cheeks, just like bronzer, and then gradually develops into lasting color.

Senior Garrett Cannizaro hit Tulane's first home run of the season in Sunday's contest against Notre Dame
Feb. 24, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - Tulane baseball fell to Notre Dame on Sunday, 8-3, at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium despite a big day at the plate from senior Garrett Cannizaro.
Cannizaro hit Tulane's first home run of the season in the fifth inning, scoring both he and junior Andrew Garner - who collected two hits of his own on the afternoon. Cannizaro added singles in both the first and third innings, going 3-for-4 for the day with two RBIs.
However, Tulane (3-4) pitching gave up 14 hits to Notre Dame (5-1) on the day. After a solid performance last Sunday against Missouri State, junior starter Kyle McKenzie (1-1) gave up seven of the aforementioned hits in only 3.1 innings. Junior Brady Wilson also pitched 3.1 innings, giving up five hits. The remaining two hits were against freshman Ian Gibaut. Wilson recorded four strikeouts, while Gibaut recorded two.
Freshman Emerson Gibbs made his collegiate debut in the ninth, allowing no hits and striking out two.
"We got behind early," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "I thought Brady Wilson pitched well, I thought Ian Gibaut pitched well, and Emerson Gibbs in his first inning was really impressive. Notre Dame just whipped us today. They are a good club. They had pitching out of the bullpen, and they swung the bats well. Kyle didn't have a good day on the mound, and we've pitched well in every game so far this year, that's our first time that we've given up those hits, but that's going to happen sometimes."
McKenzie got into trouble right out of the gate, walking the leadoff hitter Frank DeSico. He stole second, and then advanced to third on a single by Ryan Bull. A sacrifice fly by Eric Jagielo scored DeSico before Trey Mancini reached base on a single. A double steal by Bull and Mancini put them both in scoring position, with Bull coming around to score on another sacrifice fly, giving Notre Dame an early lead of 2-0.
The Greenies chiseled away at the lead in the bottom of the first when senior Sean Potkay doubled, and then scored on a single by Garner.
However, that was as close as the Green Wave got on the afternoon.
Notre Dame added two runs in the top of the fourth after McKenzie allowed three consecutive baserunners. While Charlie Markson was thrown out at second base on a steal attempt, Zak Kutsulis scored on a double by Mac Hudgins that also moved Lane Richards to third base. Richards subsequently scored on the third sacrifice fly of the game for the Fighting Irish, putting Notre Dame up, 4-1.
For the second straight inning, Tulane allowed three consecutive base runners - all singles. Bull scored his second run of the game on a passed ball to go up 5-1.
In the bottom of the fifth, Garner singled and was later brought home on the blast by Cannizaro, bringing Tulane's deficit to only two runs. "Really, I wasn't looking for the fastball inside," said Cannizaro. "I was anticipating it, and just trying to pick it up as early as I could, and I was able to do that today." Notre Dame's Bull - who went 4-for-5 on the afternoon - matched Cannizaro's shot to left field with solo home run of his own. Notre Dame put another run on the board later in the inning when Markson scored after stealing third base and coming home on a throwing error.
Hudgins scored the final run on the afternoon in the eighth on a RBI single by Bull.
Richard Carthon got the start at designated hitter and Bowen Woodson started in center field due to an arm injury to senior Brandon Boudreaux that was sustained before the contest.
"We get healthy, this is a really good club, and it'll show," added Jones. "But we just have to get healthy and stay healthy."
Tulane will head to Thibodaux, La., on Tuesday for a match against in-state rival Nicholls State, slated to begin at 6:30pm CST. The Greenies will then return home to face UNO on Wednesday at 3pm CST. Both games can be heard on 106.1 FM The Score.

Popular Teas from Higher LivingSee All 16 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
It's been quite awhile since I've had to add a new tea to the steepster catalog but I picked this one up from Marshalls. (I realllly need to stop buying tea…)
Didn't realize this has rose or licorice in it when I bought it but I was pleasantly surprised by it's absence. It is tart, but not too tart. The hibiscus, though it's a main ingredient, it pretty mellow and lets the berry flavors shine through a bit.
Flavors: Berry, Blueberry, Hibiscus, Tart
This is quite a mild tea but it has an interesting and enjoyable blend of flavors. I find that the licorice flavor really comes through more in the aftertaste but it is only slightly noticeable when you first taste it.
About 10 seconds after I swallow the tea the licorice flavor starts to come out and it lasts for a couple minutes before you need to take another sip. It is strange how that works.
The more I drank the better I liked this tea. This is one of those teas that you want to just sip slowly and spread the taste out over a longer period of time.
Flavors: Fennel, Licorice
Thanks to MissB for sending me some of this! Honestly, I was a little reluctant to try this after reading the ingredients list. Licorice AND anise? Black pepper? These are not ingredients that I am traditional fond of. But actually this isn't so bad. I'm not picking up any spiciness. Instead it tastes mostly like sweet licorice candy. Not something I would pick up on my own but certainly not something I would pour out either. It's as good iced as it is hot. Sipdown!
And drinking this one, mostly because I wanted an excuse to get off the freaking phones for one freaking minute at work, but also because it is good for my throat, which is sore from allergies and talking to stupid people nonstop.
If I get "I don't know, I'm not tech-savvy" one more time after I ask which browser a caller is using…. I shall scream.
Flavors: Cookie, Ginger
My boyfriend told me to get this one because he has it at work and he says it's really good for when you're sick.
I accidentally uploaded the wrong picture for this (helpfully, Higher Living uses the exact same design and colors for their Lemon & Ginger blend….), and then of course Steepster doesn't let you change the default picture. I uploaded the right one for it, but you have to click on the tea and then click on Other Images to see it.
I was crazy anxious last night, and it helped a lot. It's soothing and surprisingly mild. It almost has a sugar cookie taste to it. The longer you let it steep, the better it gets.
Very good for anyone who wants the benefits of ginger without the intense spiciness.
Flavors: Cookie, Ginger, Lemon Zest
Something made this bitter after I stepped it too long (the cinnamon, is that even possible?) but otherwise this is a lovely, rich tea, with only a hint of heat. A new favorite treat.
There sure do seem to be a lot of organic tea companies based in the UK! This one, Higher Living, looks very similar to Pukka, what with the percentage breakdowns of herbal ingredients and the colorful, upbeat packaging.
Lemon & Ginger brews up cloudy gold and is very close in flavor to Stash Lemon Ginger. Imagine that! The ginger tastes like powdered ginger (which of course it is—this is a filter bag), so though it is pretty strong (39%), it does not really have the zing of a fresh ginger infusion.
Perfectly fine as a functional tea when fresh ginger is not on hand.
(Blazing New Rating #29)
Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Licorice
I have another dumb question… Where do you find the percentages of the ingredients? All I ever see is the ingredients in order of amounts.
The teapees are nice and large with a very see through organza so you can see the quality and ingredients perfectly. It has a highly perfumed bergamot and rose scent that is sweet and thick.
Ingredients: Organic Black Tea, Organic Rose Petals, Natural Bergamot Flavour, Natural Rose Flavour.
Steeping instructions: Use one teapee with freshly boiled water for 4-5 minutes.
Sampling this tea with a drop of milk.
In flavour this tea matches it's scent very well. The tea is perfumed and thick with dominant bergamot and soft, sweet rose tones which linger in the after taste. As a whole the ingredients taste pure and natural which leaves my mouth with crystal clear flavours. It is a little unusual to have rose in an Earl Grey but it works well with this, it adds a nice level of sweetness. It is also a little sour but the milk helps to smooth a lot of it out.
For pictures and more information please view my blog:
Flavors: Bergamot, Rose
The teapees are nice and large with a very see through organza so you can see the quality and ingredients perfectly. It has a refreshing spearmint scent that is strong, fresh and sweet.
Ingredients: Organic Yerba Mate, Organic Spearmint, Organic Cocoa Shells, Organic Ginkgo, Organic Siberian Ginseng, Organic Cayenne Pepper.
Steeping instructions: Use one teapee with freshly boiled water for 4-5 minutes.
In flavour this tea has sweet spearmint notes that linger over a lightly spicy, herbal flavour. The ingredients that stand out the most in flavour are the spearmint, cayenne pepper and ginseng. The Mate is not too heavy or dark for this blend but it does add some depth, more than just a herbal tea would have been.
As it cools this blend becomes smooth which increases it's sweetness. The herbal elements are toned down also. I'm seeing it as being a mint tea with a difference, and frankly I love mint tea but this blend has taken it to another level. Plus the tingle from the cayenne in the after taste is spot on, subtle but invigorating.

Tony (my awesome man of 13 years) actually made his first tea order!
He's been drinking London Tea Room's 'Jubilee', which is an earl grey, for quite some time. He used to drink English breakfast, until he tried earl grey, & now that's pretty much all he will drink. So he was at a coffeeshop & they had an earl from Ahmad tea, which he really enjoyed, so he ordered some. He knows I like breakfast blends so he ordered some of their English Breakfast for me (because he once heard me say, "There's no point only ordering one tea. If you're paying for shipping you might as well order 2 or 3"). I've never tried Ahmad teas, so there's something to look forward to.
This tea came out of Traveling Tea Box 'A'. I wanted something caffeine free for the evening, so I kept 2 bags. I double bagged it, & I'm glad because there really isn't a lot there, flavor-wise. I also added stevia, & that helped. It's ok, passable, & probably my last tea of the night.
Ahmad has a couple of good stout breakfast teas I like muchly: Warwick Assam and Hampton Breakfast (which hits you in the muzzly, sleepy face with a truncheon).
I'm not exactly sure what he ordered for me, something breakfast related. I don't see him much during the week, even though he only lives 5 minutes away, LOL. Maybe that's why we've managed to stay together for so long! ;)
Anyways, I have a valentines gig tonight, then I'll stop over for a few hours & see what he bought & although it will be late for drinking it, I'll at least take a whiff!
At first i loved this tea because the chamomile taste is so subtle, but i've decided that the result of that is less benefit for my heartburn, and the tea doesn't really taste like much of anything in the end. The bag smelled strongly of fennel, but that taste wasn't present in the tea. The only thing i can really taste is the sweet vanilla flavor, which rings as somewhat artificial. I wonder what exactly gives the tea its sweetness. It's kind of creamy and not unpleasant in any way, but the flavor is so weak that i can't really say that this tea is worthwhile.
Hard to find a tea with a strong, but not fake vanilla taste. This is it! At least, for an herbal tea. Great for unwinding. One ingredient listed is "lime flower", which is also known as linden flower. The overall taste is caramelly, which is nice. I don't LOVE chamomile, and you really can barely taste it in this.
Mmm! Alright – I am sagacious in my favorite teas, I know, but this one is a definite keeper! A complexly-flavored black tea that has nothing in comparison with the Kroger/Scott's brand of English Black Tea. Although not very interesting in terms of smell, the flavor is – whoa, intense and delicious!
Let me tell you – this is a tea to take with cream and sugar, but by all means, try it out plain first. Both ways are delicious.
A bold flavored black tea that really makes a lesser blend look gross by comparison.
Came in a box with three other blends of Higher Living Teas, at the TJ Maxx next to where I work. It's not infused with honey or vanilla or chocolate or even cinnamon – just a simple green tea. Even the box's art reflects the simplicity that this tea was aiming for – very low-key.
I have to say that I was not given a wrong perspective of what this tea was gonna be like – it's simple and does not have the "wow" factor that the chamomile with vanilla had. Well, its a perfectly good, albeit plain, green tea, and if that's what you're looking for, then Higher Living has a good plain one – one that will probably be grand as an iced tea, likely really good with a hearty meal. As I made it, hot, it's nothing to write home about.
I got this in a sampler of other Higher Living teas and at the time, thought nothing of it. When the tea I had planned to drink was, um, ripped, I decided to make this my back up. Now, I have heard that people actually ENJOY drinking Chamomile, but the only chamomile I've ever drunk was the terrible blend that Celestial Seasonings makes. Seriously, that blend tastes like chewing on wildflowers and a pinch of dirt, and I worried that that is how chamomile generally tastes. Well, after trying this tea out, I want to say that I now get the liking for chamomile.
The over powering taste of flora is not so potent in this tea, and you can taste all kinds of desserty stuff in the tea. I really couldn't decide whether it tastes better cold or hot, I decided that they both taste great.
Good luck with your mid terms, every one!

Is Katy Perry wearing a new ring? On Feb. 17, ABC News reported that Katy Perry's new bling on that finger sparked serious engagement rumors. The singer was spotted out and about with what looked like a diamond ring on Valentine's Day. Many people are now wondering if the ring was a token of affection from John Mayer and/or if the two are planning to marry.
Rumors about Katy Perry and John Mayer's relationship have been red hot lately, some wondering if they are going to get married and/or start a family together. Well this ring isn't helping calm those rumors at all.
If Katy Perry's ring is an engagement ring, it's likely that the couple will make an official announcement soon. As ABC News points out, Perry has not been on Twitter since Valentine's Day and a rep for the couple could not be reached for comment. So does that mean something big is coming?
The ring doesn't actually look like an engagement ring -- there is a lot of metal on it and it doesn't really look fancy -- but, hey, you never know. Also, Perry sparked engagement rumors previously when she wore a ring on that finger -- so maybe this was just a fashion piece and nothing to write home about.
Do you think Katy Perry's ring is something serious? Do you think she and John Mayer will end up getting married?

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Millville Fire Map 2013 for the Utah wildfire expanded today. Meantime, exiting evacuation orders for Blacksmiths Fork Canyon remains in place as well. The order includes Left Hand Fork Canyon as well.
The latest news update today on the Millville Fire Map 2013 indicates that the fire is now at two thousand eight hundred acres and thirty percent contained. The fire is being battled by one hundred seventy-eight personnel. Mandatory evacuation orders issued previously are still in place. "The threat to structures remains due to the extreme fire behavior conditions that exist," officials explain to news.
The evacuation zone starts in the canyon. "The evacuation area begins at the mouth of Blacksmiths Fork canyon. The subdivisions at the mouth of the canyon are not included within the evacuation area. The evacuation area extends east to the intersection with the Left Hand Fork road." Officials add that "The mandatory evacuation also includes the Left Hand Fork Canyon area beginning at the Left Hand Fork road intersection with Blacksmith Fork road and extends to the Gray Cliff springs".
Several road closures remain in place as well. "The Blacksmiths Fork Canyon road (Hwy 101) remains closed to all nonessential traffic beginning" in some areas along with the Left Hand Fork road. For the latest fire map click HERE. And for continuing coverage click HERE.

Dust devils resemble little tornados, but happen under clear skies and can pop up all across the northstate.
Most of them are very small, but some can be violent enough to cause some minor damage.
They are formed when a rising column of hot air begins rotating, either by a gust of wind, or by an interaction between other thermals in the same field.
This rotation can become pretty strong, which then draws more hot air into the rising column of air, causing it to rise even faster. That suction drives the dust devil and determines its life span.
Most dust devils form in fields due to the low friction of flat ground and high temperatures in open fields. They rarely make it out of those fields because if they hit anything – like bushes, trees or buildings – they are usually torn apart.
Every once in a while a strong dust devil will make cause some very minor damage.
Just recently in Alturas a dust devil pulled some roofing off a hamburger stand, and some in the Great Plains and deserts can cause up to EF-0 tornado damage.

The Google+ Takeover Begins
As you roam your dusty trail of cubicles over the next few weeks, you may notice something a bit different. Not immediately apparent, but mixed in among the bored masses passing the day on Facebook, YouTube, CollegeHumor and the like, you may catch just a glimmer of hope, life, something better in the eyes of a few. And you'll know, Google+ has arrived.
Yes, Google has begun to roll out Google+, their latest grab at the social media crown. Not their first, but, in its blatant emulation of Facebook's look and feel, it's probably–let's face it–their best shot. To the menial office worker with 4 to 6 hours of down time each day, any new chance at a time suck is worth a try. We all remember Google Wave and Buzz, and trying our damndest to find something cool about them.
But Google+ is different! Different from before, different from Facebook. You have these features, for instance:
Sparks: Basically a search engine built into Google+, so you can directly post that funny cone-ing video, rather than opening a whole new separate tab to find and link to it.
Hangouts: This is a function to let your friends know your webcam is on and you're ready to chat, I guess. Sounds way too much like Chatroulette for me to want to investigate any further, and the name "Hangout" doesn't help.
Huddles: Apparently a mobile group chatroom for Android OS phones. I am so far off from an Android phone, or any phone introduced in the last 5 years, clearly it's a mistake that I was even let onto Google+ in the first place. This may be a cool feature; in any case it's too cool for me.
Circles: I do like this idea; it's a way of grouping your Google+ connections according to how you know them, who they are, etc. For instance, you can have a Circle called "Friends," one called "Redhead Chicks From Work I Want To," another for "Redhead Chicks From Work I Would," and so on. Luckily, people cannot see what Circles you've added them to.
And there you have it, a tidy summary of everything you need to know for your newest instrument de procrastination. If you aren't yet one of Google's chosen few, have no fear; soon enough you, too, will be frantically Alt-Tabbing your way out of Google+, just as you have so many sites before. Me, I'll be the guy waiting to start a Hangout.
