SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/04/12 -- AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced availability of the AMD APP SDK 2.8 and the AMD CodeXL unified tool suite to provide developers the tools and resources needed to accelerate applications with AMD accelerated processing units (APUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs). The APP SDK 2.8 and CodeXL tool suite provides access to code samples, white papers, libraries and tools to leverage the processing power of heterogeneous compute with OpenCL, C++, DirectCompute and more.
"With CodeXL and APP SDK 2.8, our highest performing SDK to date which leaps past the competition in performance on standard benchmarks(1), AMD continues to empower developers with the resources they need for greater performance and power-efficient applications," said Manju Hegde, corporate vice president, Heterogeneous Applications and Developer Solutions, AMD. "From today's ultraportable mobile solutions to the highest performing supercomputers, our latest tools and solutions help developers more easily leverage the power of heterogeneous computing and take greater advantage of the compute capabilities of AMD's processing solutions."
AMD APP SDK 2.8 Featuring AMD's New Template Library, Codename "Bolt"
APP SDK 2.8 includes dozens of new and improved samples for OpenCL, Aparapi and C++ AMP that deliver significantly faster performance than APP SDK 2.7 -- up to 2.3x faster(2) on average in nine key benchmarks. APP SDK 2.8 also includes a preview version of AMD's new open source C++ template library, codename "Bolt." "Bolt" is aimed at making it easier to utilize the inherent performance and power efficiency of heterogeneous computing while reducing lines of code with a single code path for GPU and CPU programming. "'Bolt's' productivity-oriented development environment enables developers to get superior performance on today's heterogeneous compute platforms, and can help increase performance and reduce power consumption with the exact same code on future Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) compliant platforms.
For complete details on APP SDK 2.8 features, capabilities and support, along with "Bolt" architectural and how-to details, visit the AMD Developer blog or download APP SDK 2.8 from AMD Developer Central. A member of AMD's technical staff will also provide an introduction to the powerful capabilities of "Bolt" during a live webinar on Tuesday, Dec. 11. To register, visit: http://bit.ly/StQa4X.
AMD CodeXL Unified Developer Tool Suite
The CodeXL tool suite provides a foundation for software developers and ISVs to enter a new era of parallel programming by harnessing the compute power of AMD's high-performance central processing units (CPUs), GPUs and APUs across a wide array of computing platforms. CodeXL combines new features that enable developers to get the most performance out of AMD processors, including comprehensive GPU debugging, GPU and CPU profiling, static OpenCL kernel analysis and a standalone user interface on Windows® and Linux for enhanced accessibility and navigation. As a result, developers can bring to life solutions with amazingly fast run-times, long battery life and smooth playback for leading software applications.
For further information about CodeXL, visit the CodeXL homepage.

Great shot Martin. Do you mind telling me what day you took this on, as I have a sneaking suspicion it might have been the same day I was there. I remember looking up the mountain to where this would have been taken from and seeing a photographer up there. I'm wondering now if it was you? I was there on the 7th November at around 8am.

Hi Adam.....it would have been me....I was up there an hour or so from about 7.30am. I stayed up in The Lakes from the 5th to the 7th on a cracking weekend based in Keswick. A shame we didn't meet up as a big fan of your work
Thanks to all for looking in

What if you could eat pasta three or even four times a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, for over a week without ever eating the same type of pasta?
That's basically what I was doing when I put together the recipes for my last cookbook, Recipes for Unusual Gluten Free Pasta: Pierogis, Dumplings, Desserts and More!
Since the book has over 60 recipes, it took me a couple of months of intense recipes testing to put the book together, and a whole lot of taste testing! Luckily, the pasta recipes in this book go well beyond fettuccine (there are a couple of fettuccine recipes, though, like the Gluten Free Chocolate Fettuccine shown in the above photo). It's not hard to eat pasta several times a day when you realize that "pasta" includes things like dumplings, won tons, pierogis, orzo, tortellini, and more.
Scroll down to see some pictures of what I was eating while working on the book!

HoopsHype Marcin Gortat rumors
"Trevor and Gortat already know how I feel about them," Wall told RealGM. "I talked to Trevor about when he could have opted out this past season and I wanted him to come back. I know it's a tough situation for him because you never know when your career is over. You want to get closer to winning championships, but I feel like if we stick together, anything can happen. RealGM
Any rule changes that you think would help the NBA game? For instance, sometimes they talk about instituting FIBA goaltending rules in the NBA. Any thoughts on that or any other changes that would help the game play? Marcin Gortat: The goaltending? It definitely wouldn't help. You have too many athletic guys in this league that would tip the ball out of the rim, so pretty much to make a basket you will need to swish it, you know what I'm saying? I would say I would loosen up a little bit the rules about the fighting fines. That's what I would loosen up. Because today you go to an ice hockey game, and the one thing they're waiting for is a fight, you know what I'm saying? So if they could set it up something like that in the NBA. That if there are two guys and they have a problem, if they could just separate everybody. And these two people that have problem, if they could fight ... ESPN.com
Your mother was a volleyball player for the Polish national team, your father was big-time boxer -- you have the tattoo of him on your chest. If you weren't playing basketball, what would you be doing? One of those two things? Something completely different? Marcin Gortat: You know what, I'm asking the same question. I'm asking myself this question every once in a while and quite honestly I can't answer this question. I don't know what I'd do. I would probably ... I definitely won't play volleyball, maybe I'd be a boxer. I'd definitely be a bodybuilder. I'd lift and I'd probably be a security or some bouncer in the a club, maybe, I don't know. I'd probably finish school and work toward a direction from there. ESPN.com
Q: This summer you will be an unrestricted free agent. This being your seventh year in the league, you've never really been a free agent, as you signed an offer sheet with Dallas in 2009 but Orlando matched, which is something you did not like. So what's in your mind right now about being able to go through the free agent process and really be able to be courted for the first time? Marcin Gortat: All I know is that I'm going to be a free agent. I don't know how it is to be a player that actually is going to be able to pick the team he wants to play for, you know what I'm saying? I'm hoping that at the end of the day I'm going to be able to pick the team where I will play. I hope there will be a team, let's put it this way first. ESPN.com
Marcin Gortat: There's a lot of different things I'm going to look at. The team situation. The goal of the team. I'm going to look at the point guard. I'm going to look at the coaching staff. I'm going to look at a lot of different things before I'm going to pick the team, and obviously Washington is going to be really close to me right now. I feel really comfortable here. They have two rising stars in Bradley Beal and John Wall, and this team's definitely going to get better and better. They have Otto Porter, who's going to be a good player one day. And there's going to be a lot of different things I'm going to look at. But quite honestly, right now I just want to make sure that we're not going to lose five in a row and that we won't lose a spot in the playoffs, because that would be the worst thing. I'm more pumped up for being in the playoffs again and not watching them in front of the TV. Back in the day I was spoiled by (Stan) Van Gundy playing all the way to the conference finals. With Phoenix, I was in the playoffs, so finally now [I have] an opportunity again. ESPN.com
Q: Any rule changes that you think would help the NBA game? For instance, sometimes they talk about instituting FIBA goaltending rules in the NBA. Any thoughts on that or any other changes that would help the game play? Marcin Gortat: The goaltending? It definitely wouldn't help. You have too many athletic guys in this league that would tip the ball out of the rim, so pretty much to make a basket you will need to swish it, you know what I'm saying? I would say I would loosen up a little bit the rules about the fighting fines. That's what I would loosen up. Because today you go to an ice hockey game, and the one thing they're waiting for is a fight, you know what I'm saying? So if they could set it up something like that in the NBA. That if there are two guys and they have a problem, if they could just separate everybody. And these two people that have problem, if they could fight ... ESPN.com
Q: During the game? Marcin Gortat: During the game. Quick, 15-20 seconds, throw few punches, then referees jump in and break this thing up. I think the game ... these two guys, they resolved their problem. They're both suspended and they're leaving. But end of the day, they fix the problem between each other, fans are super excited, and I think that would be a pretty cool idea [chuckles]. ESPN.com
Q: You'd need bigger refs. You couldn't have Dick Bavetta out there. Marcin Gortat: At some point when the referees jump in, then you'd have to stop. You'd have to stop. So I think that would be a great idea, just like the ice hockey fans waiting for that, that's would NBA fans would get into as well. And, I think we're definitely going to mention this in the players' meeting, but we definitely have to mention the situation about the fans. When we say something to the fan, and when we curse him out, or when we definitely throw a punch, or we're trying to hit the fan, we are suspended for half of the season. But when they yell at us or insult us or are cursing at us using bad words, they don't get anything. So what I would say is that there's definitely supposed to be a rule where if one of the fans is disrespecting us, then he got to leave the gym automatically. ESPN.com
Q: With the situation in Ukraine with Russia, I know that Poland has expressed some concerns to NATO about Russia's actions (including military drills near the border with Poland). Is that something you're keeping track of? Marcin Gortat: Quite honestly, even though I'm saying this left and right, I keep repeating this to everybody that one day I would like to be president (of Poland), I'm actually kind of off that subject now, off that topic right now because I really haven't had time to follow what's going on. ESPN.com
Q: How serious are you? Marcin Gortat: Well, it's serious because I'm interested in politics. Let's put it this way: I'm real interested in politics, I'm talking to a lot of politician people, and I'm real interested in everything. But if I decide to do it, I will start slowly from a small seat, and try to go up and climb that ladder. But right now, let's not talk about that. ESPN.com
Though tired, the Wizards were jovial after the win. When an annoying beeping sound was heard throughout the locker room, Martell Webster had his teammates in stitches when he said Gortat was taking in too much oxygen with his big nose and that the beeping sound was alerting everyone that the levels were getting too low. Washington Post
About a year later, a member of the Polish military contingent in Afghanistan — Mirosław Łucki, who Gortat believes was part of the group he met — died from injuries suffered in an explosion in Afghanistan. "Any such tragedy — the death of a soldier — touches us in a special way, because it creates a void, which in this family the soldier cannot fill," a Polish Ministry of National Defense official said at a ceremony in Poland honoring Łucki, according to a translation on the Ministry's Web site. Washington Post
Exactly six months after Łucki's death, his wife and 8-year-old son Konrad were in Washington as guests of Gortat. With the financial assistance of Gortat and his foundation, they stayed in an Arlington hotel for a week during Konrad's winter break, touring Washington's museums, spending a day in New York City and watching two Wizards home games — wins over the Pelicans and Magic — from 100-level seats. Gortat planned to bring Konrad to Wednesday's practice at Verizon Center and to lead him on a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility; he beckoned Konrad onto the court several times before Tuesday night's game, autographing the boy's Wizards hat and smiling when Konrad dribbled a basketball along the baseline. "Obviously because of the accident, because of the situation, we decide to bring the mother with the son," Gortat said before the game. "And it's sad, because the kid, he looks like a really nice kid but you can see he's really missing activity with a father, where you go and play basketball, where you go and play different sports. … But this is what the soldiers do for us, and unfortunately some people don't come back. So we decide to come out with the idea to bring him here to the States." Washington Post
And for teammates — even teammates who have only been here a few months — this isn't just an Internet joke. "Yesterday obviously when I woke up I was sitting watching TV and I some point I decided to check the HoopsHype," Marcin Gortat said on 106.7 The Fan Friday morning. "I was just shocked. I dropped the glass out of my hands and I was just shocked. Eric [Maynor] is a very good point guard. I don't think he really got his opportunity to play, and he has to play because he's pretty good. … For Jan, I was shocked because he was the first guy who helped me the most here on this team right after the trade. From Day One he helped me to settle down, set up everything here in Washington and he was great to me. I never had such a great friend from Day One. It doesn't matter where he's gonna play; we're always gonna stick together. He's my boy for life now." Washington Post
Marcin Gortat: My man Jani V is gone!! I will never forget this guy!!! Great person!!! He helped me a lot from day one!! Thx kid for everything!! Twitter @MGortat
Gortat and Nene were asked the same question: Which aspect from the older generation would they like to see in the current NBA. Nene liked the old-school style of play. Gortat just couldn't get those shorts off of his mind. "I would take two different things," said Gortat. "I would definitely make one of the nights old-school jersey and shorts. That would be funny, if everybody wore those. That would be great. I think they should come up with one night like that. The second thing, I would bring back the old basket construction, that you could actually break them. That would be great. And the third, if I could, the third I would bring back the size. Point guards the size of Magic Johnson. That's ridiculous. If you could bring back the size, and have people with wingspans of 7-8, 7-9. If you could bring back that, that would be something incredible." Washington Post
Gortat figured he would not be with the Suns much longer and even sounded like a trading block advocate. Five days before the season opener, he was sent to Washington with Shannon Brown, Kendall Marshall and Malcolm Lee (all of whom were subsequently waived) for a top-12 first-round pick in this year's draft and Emeka Okafor, who likely will not join the Suns this season due to a neck injury. "It was no hard feelings," Gortat said of the October trade. "It was funny because guys from the (Suns) front office said I handled this in the best way. I knew it was going to happen. I took this really easy. The first question when I walked into the room, smiling and laughing, was 'OK, where am I going?' They all smiled." Arizona Republic

Paws to Read - Anya (or Juniper)
August 27, 2014 –
Readers earn a stamp on a record card for every 15 minutes that they read to one of our dogs. When he/she has earned 4 stamps, they will receive a "Pawsome Reader" tag to wear as a necklace or use as a zipper tag. If readers complete a second card, they get a "Pawsome Reader" dog tag.
The theory is, that by reading out loud to the dog, who doesn't judge how well the child reads, the child's self consciousness disappears and she gains the confidence needed to become a better reader.
Readers will need to schedule a 15 minute appointment at the Youth Services Desk or by calling 231-758-3112. Open or cancelled slots will be available on a first-come, first served basis.
There is no charge for this activity

Then my body slowly begun to break down.
Tendinitis. Shoulder problems. Crippling knee pains. Incapacitating daily migraines.
It wasn't until my left knee gave out on me in the early stages of my Boston 2008 marathon training that I was really able to step back and look at the havoc I was wreaking on my body. While I never was able to admit that there was something seriously wrong with my knee, wrong enough to seek a professionals opinion, I know I tore something. For almost 9 months I could barely walk and my knee was unable to bend, running was completely out of the picture but I still "ran" Boston.
My body eventually healed from the mess I put it through and, other then a few minor tweaks, has been injury free since 2009 which is no miracle or coincidence. The years of set backs I had hosted some of the most challenging moments my life has ever seen, but I wouldn't trade them for anything because they gave me appreciation and perspective. Learning how fragile the body is a lesson an athlete needs to learn through their own trials in order to understand what a blessing movement truly is. The strong and powerful runner I am today is because of each and every one of those setbacks I had, and I am grateful for every last one of them.
From the err of my ways I have learned that:
Strength in the glutes, hammies, hips, and core cannot be overrated.
Embarrassingly I admit that it wasn't until I begun to have some leg and hip discomfort in the late stages of my Chicago marathon 2011 training that I realized how valuable these muscles are to a runner. In the past 6 months I have done more dead lifts and squats then I ever thought imaginable and can feel a difference in my running. My knee drive feels the most powerful it has ever been and for the first time in my life my bum doesn't feel squishy.
Proper fueling is the foundation to any successful training plan.
The days of meal skipping and grazing my cabinets for potato chips and cookies for lunch are a thing of the past. In my early 20's I ate a lot of junk. Frozen meals, prepackaged snacks, highly sugared treats, these were staples in my daily diet. Years ago I switched over to consuming the bulk of my calories from whole foods which are minimally processed, and have felt the world of difference in my energy level ever since. Processed items aren't really food, instead they are chemical compounds made to resemble food which most of the time don't even taste good and provide little nourishment to our precious bodies.
In the words of author Michael Pollan
"Don't eat anything incapable of rotting" and "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly Plants."
Progression must be done slowly in accordance to the demands your body can take, other people don't matter in this process.
This was a tough lesson to learn, but one of the most valuable. I've spent the past 3 and 1/2 years post 2008 injury building up my mileage to what it is now. My body hasn't always been able to handle 70+ miles weeks for months at a time, in fact there was a period of time when it couldn't even handle mid 20 mile weeks. The thing that made all the difference for me was to embrace and work with what I had and not compare myself to anyone else. Looking at my bigger picture and what I was working towards help me to adjust my workouts slowly over time so that my body could strengthen at a rate it could handle.
Rest is the most important ingredient to any athletes perfect recipe.
Contrary to popular belief, the body doesn't make strength gains when it is being worked. Instead this is when muscle fibers are being stretched and torn which leaves them weakened. When the body makes the most strength gains it is resting, allowing those tiny muscle tears to repair themselves and be stronger then they were before. Neglecting rest just continues to weaken these fibers, and can inevitably lead to burn out. Now I embrace rest days and look at them as a sort of reward for all of the hard work that I've been doing.
Variety, variety, variety.
Our bodies are a lot smarter then we give them credit for. Doing the same thing day after day won't lead to any progression because the body begins to develop muscle memory and will eventually plateau. In order to continue to make strength gains the body needs constant change in stimulus. These days my workouts are rarely ever even remotely similar from week to week, and I like it like this. Keeps things spicy and makes training more interesting.
Isolation is STUPID.
Years ago I used to think that if I wanted abs my only option was to get on a mat everyday and do crunchies until I was blue in the face, likewise with every other muscle group in the body. After tens of thousands of crunchies later, I now realize how silly this was. The body rarely ever works in isolation, and crunchies are nothing more then spinal flexion where they do little for muscle growth and strengthening. Dynamic movements are where it's at. The days of thinking that I possessed the power to tell my body which muscle groups would strengthen and when are long gone. I haven't seen a crunchie in months, and ironically my abs begun to appear the moment I stopped.
We all like to set the great big hairy goals for ourselves and spend our free time chipping away at them with high hopes of greatness. If there is anything I have learned in the past few years it's that life isn't always about the destination, sometimes it's about the journey and the experiences we have along the way. Goals are fun to work towards, but the achievement of them isn't always a life-or-death situation. Sometimes you'll have a hit and surpass your expectations, and sometimes you'll fall way short and come no where near expected.
But... Every time you fall down and get back in the race, one more small piece of you starts to fall into place.
Sometimes the clock reflects the hard work, the pain, the frustrations, and the challenges that we over came through our training...and sometimes it doesn't. Either way, there is a lesson to be learned in anything and everything if we allow it.

So as I was writing the title for this post I was thinking of doing something clever like "Pump up the jam" or "My Favorite Jam" or "Jammin' with some Homemade Jam" but then I was thinking how cheesy those are so I decided to play it safe with the above title. Anyways now that we got that all cleared up, let's pump up the jam! …….yep that still sounds pretty cheesy :)
But seriously let's talk about how delicious this stuff is! And not to mention how fun and easy it is to make!
All you need is honey, a little lemon, cranberries, and your favorite berries of choice!( fresh or frozen)
I used up some frozen blueberries and raspberries. And it turned out to be awesome.
And what I find so cool is the cranberries act as a natural pectin! How neat is that!
My Favorite Jam
Adapted from: http://thenourishinghome.com/2012/03/jumble-berry-jam-gf/
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1 cup honey
-4 cups berries of your choice ( fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- a pinch of lemon zest

- Set a medium sized pot on medium high heat.
- add in honey and all berries, and let come to a boil.
- turn the heat down to medium low, until it becomes simmering.
- continue to simmer for twenty minutes. Keep a close eye and stir every now and then.
- use the back of a wooden spoon or heat proof spatula to smoosh berries that are still whole.
- for ten more minutes keep on heat.
- If still liquidity keep on heat a little longer. ( keep in mind that jam will thicken as it cools)
- take off of heat and stir in lemon juice and zest.
- fill mason jars with jam and let cool on counter with no lids.
- once cool put lids on and place in fridge.
This jam is perfect on toast, scones, biscuits, shortbread cookies, yogurt, and it makes the perfect PB & J sandwich. :) mmm…peanut butter:D

Earlier today, after being inspired by /u/Daurgothoth I uploaded a Bitcoin Vs. Western Union Ad mocking WU's questionable use of grammar whilst comparing their prices to bitcoin. It ended up on top of /r/bitcoin and, multiple @westernunion tweets later, I was quite surprised to find my original upload has been mysteriously 'disappeared'.
I can only assume this was due to a complaint from WU that the ad infringes their trademark/copyright. Only problem being – it doesn't. The ad clearly falls under the rulings on Comparative Advertising.
So, as I imagine the furious WU PR department scrambling into damage limitation mode, resorting to spurious copyright takedowns as their only means to suppress from the public the embarrassing truth that bitcoin poses to their archaic business model… I can't help but reflect on how far we've come in the last year.
It is clear bitcoin is no longer at the 'first they laughed' stage and WU have moved into full on 'fight' mode – a year ago WU wouldn't have even blinked.
Yet, there's only so much fighting the truth you can do before you eventually self-destruct; especially when you're fighting an 'enemy' that is a decentralised movement of people with no board of directors, leaders, or obvious targets (beyond the odd redditor) to be bullied.
I guess it's bitcoiners that can do the laughing now.
EDIT: Some 4 hours or so after contacting imgur and requesting a copy of any applicable DMCA takedown notices, it appears the hard image link has just been reinstated (although the gallery/comment page is still down).

(Note: I'm posting the recipe as I found it, but I had to add an extra tsp of liquid - I used water, total of 3 tsp - as it was very pellet-like at first.)

China confirms that photo of forced late-term abortion is authentic
Chinese authorities confirmed Thursday that a woman was forced to abort seven months into her pregnancy, several days after her plight came to light when images of her baby's corpse were posted online.
Rights groups have blamed authorities in north China's Shaanxi province for forcing Feng Jianmei to abort her pregnancy because she failed to pay a hefty fine for exceeding China's strict "one-child" population control policy.
The Shaanxi provincial government said in a statement that a preliminary probe had confirmed the case was "basically true", and the investigators have recommended action be taken against the perpetrators.
[…]Chinese web users have reacted in anger to the abortion, with one comparing it to acts perpetrated by "Japanese devils and Nazis", after photos online showed Feng lying on a hospital bed next to the blood-smeared body of her baby.
A relative told AFP on Wednesday that Feng and her husband had opposed the termination.
[…]China has implemented its draconian family planning policy since the late 1970s in an effort to control a population that has grown to 1.3 billion people, the world's largest.
Under the policy, urban families are generally allowed to have one child, while rural families can give birth to two children if the first is a girl. They have to pay a fine if they contravene the rules.
Rights groups say that as a result of the policy, thousands of women have been forced by authorities to terminate their pregnancies.
Blind activist Chen Guangcheng, who recently left China for the United States after fleeing house arrest, was once jailed after angering local officials for bringing to light hundreds of forced abortions.
Official statistics show that since the start of the policy, the number of abortions peaked in 1983, with a total of 14.37 million terminations that year.
You can see the absolutely horrifying photo of the woman and her child here on: Life Site News.
Would the Democrats be any different than China on the issue of coerced abortions?: Vice president Joe Biden expressed support for China's one-child policy.: Not only is: Barack Obama the most pro-abortion President ever, but he also has: voted for infanticide several times: and he: opposed the ban on partial birth abortions. Additionally, Obama appointed John Holdren to be his "science czar", and Holdren had previously: advocated for mass sterilizations and coerced abortions.

It's the season for after christmas bargains and holiday shopping returns. The day after Christmas is usually one of the busiest for retailers.
Hundreds of people poured into the Meadowood Mall in Reno on Sunday, December 26. Early bargain hunters were treated to 50 to 60 percent off on everything from coats, to shoes to jewelry. Stores had slashed prices to squeeze sales.
Economists say, except for the next week, it's winding up to be an unimpressive holiday season. That's why some merchants are encouraging shoppers to spend their gift cards immediately. Sales are recorded only when the cards are redeemed. Gift cards made up for 17-billion dollars this year, or roughly eight percent of holiday sales. Many customers brought in newspaper coupons to take another 10-dollars off if they spent more than 25-dollars.
After Christmas sales also meant after Christmas returns. Local merchants say they are not finding themselves in the same position last year as far as returns. Although, they rely on the days just before Christmas to save the season. Last year, a late spending surge gave retailers a better-than-expected holiday season. Merchants are hoping for the same this year.
The full picture won't be known until January 6th. That's when the nation's retailers are slated to report their December sales figures.

Although some fixtures may only be pictured in one direction, these fixtures will have specialized shade mounting hardware to eliminate the possibility of the shade detaching from the fixture as well as compensate for heat displacement when mounted downward.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is classically the most common form of bathroom lighting and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications.
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs.
Halogen bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
Incandescent or Fluorescent
We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
Xenon / Krypton
Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.
Bathroom Fixture Height
The height of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance of the lowest point of the fixture to the highest point.
Bathroom Fixture Width
The width of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance from the furthest reaching outside left point to the furthest reaching outside right point.
Bathroom Fixture Extension
The extension of your bathroom fixture is measured from the wall to the furthest reaching point out. Generally this will either be the edge of the shades or the bulbs.
If you are looking for an ADA approved fixture (less than 4" extension) you can use either this field to narrow or our "ADA Compliant" selection under the "Special Features" section.
Keep in mind that if you are looking for a more specific extension dimension you can select the range in this field and then narrow it down even further in the "Specific Extension" field on the next screen.
