I have never made red velvet cupcakes and I never really understood the hype of why they were so amazing. Maybe it was the cream cheese icing that is pairs with it. When I asked others what the taste of red velvet cupcakes were, they really did not have an answer. When I tried it for the first time, I seriously did not have any idea how to describe the flavors. It is basically its own distinct flavor. My mom described it as a mix between a vanilla and chocolate cupcake. That made sense. I brought them into work and everyone loved them. One of the workers came up to me and told me that she did not eat pork chops but if that cream cheese frosting was all over it, she definitely would. I would definitely take that as a compliment! 🙂

Graham Cracker Cupcake with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
I decided to go through my cabinets and see what ingredients I had to bake into something scrumptious. I immediately saw my graham crackers and marshmallows and remembered what a hit my S'Mores Cookies were that I was determined to make a Cupcake with these ingredients. I am not calling this a S'Mores Cupcake because I decided not to add chocolate to it. So I kept it simple. I had never worked with marshmallows in a frosting before so I was a little skeptical if it would even turn out. When I think of marshmallows I think of ooey gooey mess. Surprisingly this frosting was very simple and turned out perfect for this cupcake. It couldn't have been any better.
Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
I love carrot cake and a while ago I made this most amazing moist scrumptious carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting. Tonight I made my awesomeChicken and Dumplings and had some left over carrots. I decided to make my moist carrot cake but then realized I would not eat the whole cake. I knew I could bring it into work but decided it would just be a hassle to transport. Instead I decided to take my recipe and make it into cupcakes. They turned out just as delicious and moist as my cake. I topped them with my favorite cream cheese frosting and made a cute little carrot design to add style.
I hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as my mom and dad, and hopefully everyone at work does. 🙂
White Chocolate Berry Cupcake
This White Chocolate Berry Cupcake is a nice treat for your morning breakfast or to serve with coffee or tea. I made a simple White Chocolate Cupcake, filled it with a mixed berry compote, and topped it with a Berry Cream Cheese Frosting. If you are not one for white chocolate, use your favorite Chocolate Cupcake as a substitute.
Banana White Chocolate Cupcakes with Honey Cinnamon Frosting
I absolutely love bananas and I had some bananas that were turning into mush so I decided to make a moist banana cupcake. I wanted to add some more flavor to them so I decided to use some white chocolate. If you do not like white chocolate then you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Whichever your favorite is works fine. I went through my cabinet and was looking for something I could make into a frosting. I feel like I am always doing a vanilla or chocolate frosting. I saw my honey sitting there and thought I would give it a whirl. The sweet honey and subtle hints of cinnamon paired perfect with this banana white chocolate cupcake. I got wonderful reviews from all my co-workers!
Low-Fat Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
I have always loved Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. They are definitely a down fall of mine during the fall season. Normally I do not start making these muffins until the temperature is a little cooler outside but I asked my friend what dessert they would like me to make them and they said they loved pumpkin and dark chocolate. Of course these muffins came to mind. Trying to be healthy and knowing my friend likes a healthier treat, I decided to make these muffins low in fat. Let me tell you, they turned out amazing! I have never tried a low-fat dessert before and was a little skeptical on how these might turn out. The end result was more than I would have asked for. You cannot even tell these little delightful treats are low-fat, they are that good. They are packed with pumpkin and dark chocolate that keeps you wanting more. Since my friend loved them so much, I just had to share this recipe with everyone. I hope you all enjoy them as much as they did. :0)
What makes those regular pumpkin chocolate chip muffins so high in fat and calories is the use of canola oil and sugar. In order to make this recipe into a low-fat and low-calorie dessert we need to substitute these ingredients. I did not cut sugar completely because we all need a little sugar in our lives. ;0) As for the canola oil, I substituted that with non-fat Greek yogurt and no-sugar added applesauce. These two ingredients add flavor and moisture to the recipe as well as fiber and vitamins. Each muffin has about 130 calories and 2 grams of fat.
Note that in my picture I used cupcake holders. I recommend not using these and just use non-stick spray as for the muffin sticks to the paper on the bottom just a bit. :0)
Oreo Cupcakes
Oreo cookies are one of my favorite cookie and when I was little I could basically devour a whole package in one sitting… or at least half of the package 😉 I was quite the milk drinker so a cookie that went perfect with milk was my kind of cookie. I have made a cupcake where I put a Oreo cookie in the bottom and it was quite delicious but it was not the Oreo cupcake I was looking for. I wanted to some how incorporate that amazing frosting center of the Oreo cookie into my cupcake. I mean that is what makes a oreo cookie so wonderful. I use to eat all the frosting off the cookie and then dunk the cookie part into the milk. 🙂
So I finally put my baking skills to work and assembled a cupcake that combined all the flavors of a Oreo cookie. I used my favorite Chocolate Cupcake, filled the center with that classic Oreo filling, and topped it with a Oreo Cookie Buttercream Frosting. I think my favorite part of this cupcake is definitely the filled center because it taste just like the filling of a Oreo. It is a simple recipe and if you are wondering how many Oreos you are going to have to scrape the frosting off of? None! This recipe makes the perfect flavor of the filling and you can not even tell the difference.
There are three recipes to this cupcake and at the end I will explain how to assemble it.

CFPB Monthly Snapshot Spotlights Student Loan Complaints
April 26, 2017 / Source: CFPB
Report Also Looks at Consumer Complaints from Nevada
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a monthly complaint snapshot highlighting consumer complaints about student loans. The snapshot shows that both private and federal student loan borrowers nationwide report persistent servicing breakdowns that may sideline their path to repayment. This month's report also highlights trends seen in complaints coming from Nevada. As of April 1, 2017, the Bureau had handled approximately 1,163,200 consumer complaints across all products.
"Student loan servicers play an important role in helping millions of people manage the loans they take out to pursue an education," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Unfortunately, borrowers continue to report difficulties and setbacks as they try to work with their servicers to manage their loan debt."

Magdalena Huber Design - Pikpäk (Student)
" PIKPÄK - The Festival Drink
PIKPÄK is a unique drink packaging designed for festival attendants. The tetrapack rucksack can be worn which solves a lot of problems that people experience on festivals.
Don't loose your best place in the front row to get a drink while you are listening to your favourite act performing on stage - you can simply bring it with you on your back. No spilling while dancing, no dirt in your drink and no downing drinks at the bar to have your hands free when pushing and shoving through the festival crowd.
Pikpäk also lowers the risk of someone putting drugs or rohypnol in your drink as you can easily bring it with you all the time without having to put it aside at any time. The ecofriendly box is recloseable and refillable so you can fully enjoy your festival time without feeling guilty because of economical issues.
The special personalization feature allows you to style your PIKPÄK as you like. If you are a minimalist you can leave your box plain – if you like colours you have the chance to write on it, stick on it and create a wearable piece of art that enriches your personal festival outfit.
PIKPÄK is suitable for any drink. Filled with beer, wine, longdrinks or non-alcoholics it is a perfect festival companion you don't want to miss.
PIKPÄK won the 1st price at the Dieline packaging design awards 2017, students category. The project was designed and nominated for the JDO packaging and branding company's student competition 'JDO RAW Bestival 2016' that asked students to design a drink for a music festival."

Hi Everyone,
After putting away the Christmas decorations (truth be told, I'm not quite done!) the house seems so bare, and I look forward to putting out my few hearts and flower items for Valentine's Day. While it's still a few weeks early for that, until then I'm happy that I can make some cards in celebration of the day! Have you checked out the new winter and Valentine stamps that were released at DRS Designs?
My card features the new Be My Valentine Question Mark stamp. I stamped and die cut it, adding some sponging while the die was still in place. My background paper was stamped in light pink using the Interlocking Hearts and then sent through my machine for some dry embossed hearts right on top.
I added a die cut banner behind my sentiment and the Sweet Offering Cutie Pie Kid with his head cocked to the side, seemed to be asking that question :) He was stamped, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and added to complete my card.
There's nothing like getting crafty to chase away the winter blues, so play along in our weekly challenge for a chance win some stamps!
Have a great day!

There's nothing better than creating a blog to present your personal opinions. Therefore, WordPress enjoys widespread popularity. Continue reading to find out how to get the most out of WordPress.
Don't choose a design that's identical to what others that have a WordPress website use. While it is tempting to save time, your viewers will not get the best impression. Make sure your blog emphasizes your individuality.
WordPress is great for adding video elements to blogs. It may take more effort, but it's worth it. Most Internet surfers respond to visuals. A video can show them things that the written word just can't convey, and as a result, it can be a very powerful tool.
If your post has a long title, make sure your permalink is clean. For instance, if you have a long phrase in a URL, that can seem very long. Be sure to select only the keywords from your long titles to create your permalinks.
Before installing WordPress, take some time for education. By planning before developing a blog, you can save yourself both time and effort. Familiarize yourself with search engine optimization, learn how to create content that's effective and to maximize WordPress's usage to ensure everything runs smoothly when you start working.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with all the tools and options available to you when blogging with WordPress. For instance, clicking on the visible Kitchen Sink button can offer more choices for formatting posts to make them more unique. There is also a Screen Options tab located on the admin pages of your site. Use this section to change many of your formatting elements.
Clean up comments and content that don't add anything to your website. In this way, your site will be inviting and comfortable for your users. Check out Akismet for a great way to remove spam.
Any comment that isn't on topic or doesn't make sense should be deleted. This keeps your site more user-friendly to visitors. Use Akismet if you need a plugin to do this.
You might work hard to alter your blog and erroneously believe that your changes have not been saved. Most likely, this is not the case. To address this issue, try clearing the cache of your browser. Press and hold the Shift key when refreshing the browser for changes to show.
Take out any special characters in the URLs of your blog entries. These characters can make things a real hassle. You should make your URLs shorter and only use keywords.
You must make adjustments if you do not want your posts to show up in the order published. Change the dates to rearrange the posts. To do this, open a post so that you can see its date near the top-right. Change the date by clicking on it, and save the post to change the order of posts.
Are you getting as many comments as you'd like? In these instances, it might be hard to navigate the comment section. Install a plugin that can divide this into different pages. This makes your website easier to navigate.
Allow your users to access your articles easily by email. Not everyone has access to social media sites but may still desire to share your information with others. The WP-Email plugin is great for this.
Search engine ranks can be boosted with just a little more time spent while adding photos. You should incorporate title tags to your photos. When visitors pin your images to sites like Pinterest, the title you gave is what will be represented on their screen.
Security is essential for WordPress users, so make your password is kept confidential. Before installing plugins, make sure to read reviews. If your site ever gets hacked or infected with malware, you risk losing the entire thing.
Allow your users to access your articles easily by email. Many people who won't have access to social media will still want to share with friends. WordPress has an email plugin just for this purpose.
Make sure descriptions and titles are targeted. When prospective visitors use search engines to find your pages, these are among the first things they see. Therefore, they are crucial to your site. You can use Scribe, which will help you control this on WordPress. This will allow you to edit the items and, in turn, attract more visitors.
Never share your WordPress password. In addition to that, you need to get your plugins from reputable sites and you need to go over reviews prior to installing them. If your site is hacked or the victim of malware, your hard work could all be lost.
Make sure your media library isn't too confusing. While putting a bunch of pictures right into the library might seem the way to go at first, that turns messy before you know it. Create a folder structure when you begin and place images into the folders properly. This will make searching for a particular image much easier.
Use titles and descriptions that are descriptive. This is what users see when they search for information. This makes these aspects very important. You can use SEO software called Scribe to get more control on these elements in your site. You can then edit some of these items to make sure more people come to your site.
Always update your plugins. These plugins are very important for your site. However, they receive updates just like normal applications. If you don't keep up with installing the updates, you could miss out on key upgrades or you may even find that the plugin no longer works properly.
Take the time to update your plugins regularly. The WordPress plugins give you a great way to boost your website's power. Just as with regular software, they are updated. If you do not keep your plugins current, you might miss major upgrades or discover faulty ones.
Keep the plugins at a minimum. Some are enjoyable, but each ones adds to your site's load time. They can really bog things down, which will impact how you do in the SERPs. Websites that perform better rank better.
Only use WordPress plugins that you absolutely need. Plugins are totally fun, but each additional one ups your blog's load time. They can really slow things down, and that can impact how you rank with search engines. Websites that load slowly do not fare as well in the ranks as those that are optimized efficiently.
Always save a backup copy of your blog. Do it regularly. Consider a plugin such as Xcloner to assist you. Use whichever plugin or website you feel comfortable with to keep your blog backed up, however make sure you use more than a single location. It would truly be difficult to start from scratch if your blog disappeared one day.
Make sure you have your blog backed up. This has to be done regularly. Xcloner is a great plugin to use with WordPress to do this. Use the sites and plugins that you know for backing up your blog, just make sure it's all in one location. Losing every part of your blog would truly be a nightmare.
Use a plugin that builds internal links among your posts, thus improving the reading experience of your audience. These plugins add lists between three and five links beneath the posts based on your tag's relevancy to each post.
You no longer have to approve or disapprove comments manually. Instead, use Akismet to do the work for you. You can receive an email each time someone leaves a comment, but it's more efficient to just forgo manual approvals. If you don't, you're wasting time.
You no longer have to manually accept comments. Let Akismet handle that task for you. You can receive an email every time someone makes a comment, but it's better to have manual approval unchecked and authors with comments already approved to post. If you fail to do this, you will not save yourself any time.
Have you had enough of the clutter involved in WordPress? Turn off a few boxes that are on the page. To do this, go to the top of WordPress's window and go to "screen options". Click on that button and you will see a drop-down menu. Use this to control the various boxes.
Is WordPress clutter getting you down? Toggle off the homepage boxes you don't need. Utilize "screen options" found at the top to take care of this. Click this button to get a menu that lets you turn off any of the boxes.
Make sure you let people comment on your site. This will help foster a community feeling and will allow you to get to know your readers better. If you are worried about spam or advertisers, you can find plugins that allow you to look over and approve the comments before they get published on your site.
If you need a WordPress blog host, only choose from those that feature a simple click function to install WordPress. You can spare yourself a database creation in doing so. A good host will create a blog domain on your behalf and a database to go with it.
Consider highlighting the responses you give to the comments of others. People often ask questions or express concerns in comment sections. If there is a response from the author, it can be easily overlooked. You should use a different font color for the author's comments. This allows you to find and recognize them easily.
Highlight any comments the author makes to a blog post. People will post concerns or questions in comments. It can be far too easy to overlook such a question because it is lost in a group of others. This will make it easier for everyone to see. This will make them stand out and be recognized easily.
Your sites should contain images. The saying about a picture being worth a lot more than words is true even today. This will give your site a lot of interest. Search Engines and readers alike will appreciate your use of alternate text tags and titles.
Just because a plugin costs money does not mean you shouldn't use it. Think about the time involved compared to the price. The features offered are worth the price that you pay.
You can hire someone to help you with your website. If you can recruit a volunteer or hire someone who has the skill to do the work, you will save time and money in the long run.
If you've got post that you aren't ready to publish, keep them in unpublished mode. That way, you can change it as you please and it stays out of view. Only publish your work when you are completely satisfied with it.
Do your research before planning your WordPress blog. For instance, the Internet is rife with blogs, social media communities and forums dedicated to WordPress. No matter whether you've got problems with themes or plugins, they can help.
Tags and categories are places where you can use keywords for SEO purposes. Actually, people doing Google searches may well be seeking clear category names. For instance, you might have come to this very article via "WordPress tips".
If you aren't ready to post something, keep it in the unpublished mode. That way, you can change it as you please and it stays out of view. You can publish these posts whenever you are ready to do so.
Regularly backup your site by using WordPress's Export function. That means you have a chronological database of backups that let you restore your content in the event of hack or server failure.
Put your website on a schedule for backup with the export function. Having a backup allows you to easily recover your site in the event of a server error.
Blogging has grown to cover many aspects of society, which is great. Having the ability to share concepts, ideas, and thoughts with a broad audience is amazing. You can use WordPress to successfully convey your thoughts quickly and easily.
Make sure to backup all files on your site when you want to export through WordPress. This is done by logging in via FTP or through the control panel of the server, then copying all folders.

Clinton Choir
is ALIVE AND WELL at Clinton Public Schools!
''We have had a very productive, successful year, and I have the pleasure of working with some wonderful, and wonderfully talented students, from grades five through twelve,'' said Carol Gray, Clinton Choral Director.
For starters, Gray said 25 talented Clinton Choir high school girls and also the Clinton Jr. High Choir earned straight 'ones' at the Region Festival held earlier this year. ''Our high school singers brought home three plaques for their excellent performances and the junior high group brought home one plaque as well,'' Gray touted.
''Then on March 4,'' Gray continued, ''students from all over our part of the state gathered at UCA to participate in the UCA Children's Festival.'' Gray explained that March is national ''Music In Our Schools'' month, during which students share in the singing of music from the World's Largest Concert (WLC).
The WLC is an annual event organized by Music Educators National Conference (MENC), an organization of which Gray is a member. The national music educators' organization goal is to promote musical experiences and expertise all over the country.
''I took ten students to the UCA gathering, as did Jacki Carlo from Shirley. There were over 200 kids sharing in the WLC songs.'' Gray radiated praise.
''Then on March 9, the national broadcast of the WLC was shown, and while many, many states' groups were used in the telecast, Clinton Choir was the ONLY Arkansas school choir shown.'' Gray beamed, noting that this was the 16th Annual WLC.
''The video clip showing our Clinton Choir members was filmed at the Bar Eoff Ranch, and was filmed by John Hastings of Clinton Cable. We were only on the tube for a grand total of twelve seconds, but hey!'' Gray bubbled, ''It was NATIONAL TV ! Quite a feat, in my humble opinion, for our school, our town, and the whole Van Buren County community as well.''
''In mid-March, we hosted a multi-school assembly to further celebrate Music In Our Schools Month, and again share in the singing of music from the World's Largest Concert,'' Gray continued. ''Singers from Wilburn, Quitman, Vilonia, Leslie, Greenbriar, and Shirley, accompanied by their respective choir directors, Linett Tournear, Sylvia Summers, Michael Rush, Betty Barnes, Sam Huskey, and Jacki Carlo, gathered at the Clinton High School Cafeteria to once more share in making this music.''
Gray reported that Clinton Choir singers numbered nearly one hundred, of the roughly 250 singers participating. ''We all made beautiful music, TOGETHER,'' she emphasized, ''lifting high the positive messages of both new and well-loved songs.''
The program included such favorite standards as ''I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy,'' ''I've Been Working on the Railroad,'' ''Home On The Range,'' and ''When The Saints Go Marching In.'' Newer tunes included ''Let's Make Music, America,'' and ''Fifty States In Rhyme.''
Gray said that the various choir directors and music teachers took turns directing the songs, while she provided accompaniment on Clinton School's new digital piano.
Gray noted that the event was emceed by Mary Jo Burney, CMS Counselor, and special guests in the audience were Lou Wilson, Barbara Sullivan, and Charlotte Rierson, all of whom are active with the North Central Arkansas Foundation for the Arts and Education.''
''These ladies and other Foundation members work tirelessly to bring quality artistic experiences to our community,'' Gray credited. ''And they especially try to provide outreach into the schools, as well as try to provide exposure for our students to the community-at-large. I, for one, truly appreciate what the Foundation does, and what it stands for,'' Gray acknowledged.
Early in April, the Clinton High School Choir attended the State Choral Festival and also presented their annual Spring Concert in the Clinton High School Cafeteria.
On April 22 a ''Friends of the Choir'' fundraiser, featuring performances of Clinton Choir members, is set for the WalMart parking lot on Hwy. 65 in Clinton. Baked goods, hot dogs, and other treats will be sold. Money raised will be used to fund a ''fun'' choir trip to Magic Springs in Hot Springs.
Then on May 9, as this school year draws to a close, the Choir presents it's ''POPS ! Concert'' at the Clinton High School Cafeteria. ''We are looking forward to this fun show,'' Gray concluded. ''Choir is definitely alive and well at Clinton Public Schools, and indeed in our neck of the Arkansas woods. Choirs at Clinton have had an excellent year!''
For more information, contact: Carol Gray, Clinton Choral Director, 501-723-4617 [H], 501-745-4744 [W], firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com

I finally got round to installing 'The complete Civilization III'. The global reach of the supermarket suckered me into buying it, right at the end of the cereals isle (I wouldn't mind but I don't eat cereals). Still it was only £5.99.
What did I find after inserting the CD into the drive?
1) left hand menu option to 'install game'
2) new page, bottom menu option to 'install game'
3) would I like to read the 'readme'? Not on your life but I still need to press a button
4) do I accept the licence terms. Ok but that's a radio button select and a 'next' button (click count now 5)
5) to proceed I had to OK my acceptance to close the setup menu "now!"
6) (CD finally spinning in setup preparation)
Blue Screen Of Death 🙁
Ok so I have a device driver issue.
The previous time when I managed to get further into the installation I was asked again (yes that's a second time) to confirm that I accepted the terms (pages worth presented in one of those very annoying small scrollable text boxes).
When I did accept I got a dialog box popup to ask me to confirm that I really did accept the terms of the licence.
I hope the game is worth it when I cure the crash…

U.S. Nuclear Weapons Modernization
U.S. nuclear forces, operated by the Air Force and Navy, have entered a years-long period that will see the modernization of warheads, bombs, and delivery systems.
Many of these land-, air-, and sea-based systems, which constitute the so-called nuclear triad, entered service during the Cold War and will reach the end of their life cycles in the coming decades.
The ballistic missiles, submarines, bombers, fighters, and air-launched cruise missiles in operation today will be gradually phased out for newer systems. The United States will also develop new nuclear warheads and upgrade facilities that produce and maintain nuclear weapons.
However, while some modernization efforts are already underway, debate persists in Washington over their direction and extent, especially given the massive investments they will require. The Congressional Budget Office estimates [PDF] that maintaining and modernizing U.S. nuclear forces will cost $400 billion between 2017 and 2026.
The triad emerged and evolved, more by accident than design, over the four decades of the Cold War as the United States and Soviet Union responded to each other's advances. Read More

Edo election: PDP accuses INEC of favouring APC.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state has alleged that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of working with the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of September 10 governorship election. According to Daily Post, PDP is accusing INEC of allowing APC undue access to files and data processors that could put it an advantage in the Edo election next weekend
In order to level the playing field, PDP has now asked INEC to disclose the identities of those to conduct the upcoming election. "As part of our preparations for the Edo State gubernatorial election slated for Saturday September 10, 2016, we have formally requested for a meeting with staff (Local Government Collation Officers, Returning Officer for the State, Staff in charge of card readers, E-Collation Officers and members of the ICT team) of INEC assigned to the state to conduct the elections in Edo State. "You are aware that as at today 5/09/2016 (5 days before the elections), the names and identities of these staff have not been made public," a letter to INEC by PDP publicity secretary, Chris O Nehikhare, read
The letter added: "Information available to us is that INEC has granted requests made by the APC for a similar meeting with the above mentioned staff. We are reliably informed that members of APC have been granted remote access to INEC servers and INEC e-collation platforms "We are informed that this was done in furtherance of a plan by certain officials of INEC to grant APC real time access to INEC's e-collation platforms in a bid to enable them manipulate results on the field at polling stations where they are losing elections or disrupt the electoral process at such locations. We believe that such a meeting will avail us the opportunity to lay our complaints." Meanwhile, Segun Abraham, the runner up in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election in Ondo state, has conceded defeat to winner Rotimi Akeredolu, after a keenly contested poll. In a message issued on Sunday, September 4, in Akure, the state capital, Abraham congratulated Akeredolu, who emerged as the governorship candidate of the party in the state.

Members of the public now have the opportunity to see first hand the new signs of pre-historic human activity found in the Clwydian Range.
A new exhibition is now on show in The Gallery, Loggerheads Country Park, which shows the Clwydian Range Archaeology Group (CRAG) finds from surveying and excavating in the Moel Arthur area.
The archaeological processes reveal fleeting traces of our distant ancestors possibly as far back as Mesolithic times.
As well as showing what has been found in successive years of excavation, the exhibition explains some of the methods archaeologists use to investigate, gather evidence and record the results.
The exhibition is now open daily between 10am and 4pm and will run until Sunday, January 28.
A member of the CRAG team will be on hand between 11am and 3pm to answer questions about the excavations and the archaeological processes involved. Between these times the finds from recent digs will be displayed.

I believe in showing respect and kindness to each student, regardless of the amount of natural, musical or technical ability, while reinforcing the importance of setting goals for growth and improvement. I seek to structure a happy, encouraging and productive environment that makes learning easier and more attainable, as I feel students are more likely to achieve great things when they are relaxed, secure and accepted. I begin every lesson with each student at his or her own level and work with faith and consistency as the student is allowed to make strides at his or her own pace.
It is also my belief that the lesson should be a time for problem solving and helping the student by creating a model for practice which they can remember and use at home. Students should be given meaningful and inspiring tools for real-life musicianship. Lessons include the following:
- Note-reading
- Reading and experiencing rhythms
- Sight-reading
- Aural Development/Listening Skills
- Music Theory
- Technique/Posture
- Music History
- Practice Skills
- Performance Preparation
- Marks of Expression, Tone Quality and Balance
- Imagination and Creativity
- Solo and Ensemble Repertoire (including Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Impressionistic, Modern, Broadway, Pop, Rock, Sacred, Gospel, Rag-Time and Jazz)
- Development of Collaborative Skills
Students are given various opportunities in which to participate that allow them to gain experience in performing and to be motivated to practice. All events may not be suitable for all students. For example, students who are at an advanced level and wish to study music at the college level, competitive events may be beneficial in order to secure scholarship funds and/or to build experience as a performer. Another student may enjoy performing but has no desire to compete. Other students may eventually wish to perform but need to gain more experience developing their skills before committing to an evaluation or audition. Just as repertoire and learning styles differ with every person, so it goes with performing events. More information is available at the "Events" link.
As a piano and voice teacher I feel it is important to continue engaging in professional development. I annually adjudicate for local and state competitive and non-competitive events. Each opportunity I have to judge other teachers' students is educational, inspiring and motivating to me as a teacher. It is a joy to meet other teachers at these events, seminars, workshops, and conferences. I enjoy performing as a collaborative pianist and as a soprano soloist and choir member at my church and across the southeast.
The heart and soul of teaching begins with concern and compassion for people as well as for the calling and desire to inspire, share knowledge and to experience the joy of learning with others. I believe all people can benefit from learning and building musical skills.


text: This study explores the interplay between theme and form in the writings of Willy Kyrklund. It investigates the relationship between the concept of "människans villkor" (the human condition), the rules of literature and the use of mathematics. Using a combined methodology of close reading, according to the principles of new criticism and hermeneutics, with narratology, this study analyses several texts covering a wide span of Kyrklund's oeuvre. Special attention is devoted to short prose and the narrative strategies and aesthetics of short stories. Furthermore this study looks at the strategies Kyrklund employs in order to dispel the illusions of literature and direct the reader's attention to the textuality of the text. It concludes that the interest in "människans villkor" and the constructions of literature is widely interconnected and a part of a broader interest in structures and rules. Using the short story format, Kyrklund emphasizes the structures and conditions which shape literature and human existence. This is also achieved through certain narrative strategies heavily characterized by distance. The reader is thereby invited to follow the events from a higher perspective, where the conditions, "människans villkor", become more evident. The scepticism towards language and literature is also reflected in the praise and use of mathematics, which elevates the human mind beyond the unreliability of language and the general calamity of earthly existence. The laws of mathematics are unreachable, and mathematical language is thus used in order to portray a longing for purity and the absolute, which the human being cannot attain.

BVR Kits WHIZZZA!
Build Sequence Differences
As the WHIZZZA owes its heritage to the highly successful FIZZA, the build sequence
is more or less identical and all part numbers are the same. However feedback and development have led to some improvements
and slight differences and these are described here! Follow the FIZZA build sequence, clicking wherever you see the WHIZZZA links which are inserted wherever
these changes exist!
As the WHIZZZA can be subjected to incredible speeds and G forces in i.c. and higher
powered 600BL Electric set-ups, you have the option of replacing the spar and spacer with a continuous full-length 3/8" x
1/8" (10mm x 3mm) spruce spar, available from most model shops, as shown here. PLEASE NOTE: this is purely a safeguard
for those pushing the envelope; the standard configuration is still VERY strong!
Customer feedback suggested that some had difficulty adhering a curved dowel to the flat front
of the wing leading edge on the FIZZA. So the WHIZZZA is supplied with 4mm SQUARE spruce strip for the leading edge as shown
here - this is far easier to glue in place and is simply rounded off after wing profiling to give a nice rounded leading
edge shape.
The main difference in the Whizzza fuselage construction is
that the doublers (part 5) consist of a 1/8" sheet doubler at the front and TWO 3/16" strip doublers glued behind it, to provide
reinforcement for the wing seat and access hatch. Note position of rear hatch doublers (part 21) which are also glued in place
at this stage.
As the fuselage sides on the WHIZZZA are much thicker, it is impractical to "bend" them round
former 7, so instead simply chamfer the bottom edges of parts 6b to the correct angle, and glue them in place one at a time
blending the join in with some abrasive paper afterwards.
As the WHIZZZA is a much larger model, and given that there is a removable wing option, you
may wish to cover each major component separately as shown here. This will mean assembling the tailplane parts as a separate
unit rather than building it onto the fuselage as shown in the FIZZA build sequence.
The ailerons on the WHIZZZA are quite large, therefore flight loads may be too high for
some micro servos, especially the cheaper ones currently on the market. BVR KITS recommend the GWS "PARK" 17g servo which
only costs £9.99 from BRC HOBBIES. For further details and ordering info click here.
Configuration is exactly the same as the FIZZA as you can see here. The X-POWER 40 and 60
AMP Brushless Speed Controllers are ideally suited to the WHIZZZA and are both reliable and cheap! Available from BRC HOBBIES,
for further details click here.
The final difference on the WHIZZZA is that there are TWO underside hatches, one for battery
access and the other for Rudder and Elevator servo access. Parts are supplied for each hatch to be attached by a tongue and
screw system, but you can simply tape the servo hatch in place if you don't expect to need access very often.

It all started, of course, with Turkish Delight. A single powdered square before take-off, and a glass of opalescent raki. Two hours and a heart-stopping lurch later, and the rest of my senses caught up with these delicate, decadent flavours as we touched down in Dalaman.
In fact, stepping through the sliding doors was immediate overload as the steamy stench of petrichor raced into my lungs, and the song of a thousand hidden birds rushed to fill my racing mind. Before I could truly take it in, we were ushered into a long, leather-lined taxi and driven deep into the darkening mountains that had long lurked like dragons on the horizon.
Sinking deeper into the mist-laden landscape, my stomach lurched to realise that we were chasing a storm. Through tinted glass we watched lightning momentarily differentiate dusky sky from dusty road, before casting everything back into uniform blackness.
When the rain came, it was a sheet of sound – ten minutes of pushing through a waterfall before, just as instantly, it was gone again. By the time we reached the exotic familiarity of our temporary home, the ground was dry again.
Mere moments later, a gin in one hand and a bowl of fresh green olives in the other, I breathed in the sacred scent of night-blooming jasmine – the scent I wake craving still – and watched bats flitting in pairs across the rugged patch of wasteland as thunder roared deep within the mountains that ringed us. It was a perfection of sorts.
After much news and laughter with the family, we sauntered down handsome streets where modern design met an ancient way of life – chickens darting in and out of gateways and families gathered around ornate semavers – and found a harbourside seat for supper.
I slipped off my shoes and, with a sense of ritual borrowed from my strange and solemn surroundings, stepped down from the terrace into cool, ankle-deep sea. From this vantage there was no horizon, only darkness punctuated by strings of distant lights. A weight drifted from me and into the the obscurity of night and hidden mountains.
I woke the next morning more rested than I had been in months, and lay with my eyes closed, listening to the continuing grumbles of monstrous mountains, lifted occasionally by the harrowing, hopeful call to prayer. I was truly here…
I basked in coverless coolth until Sam surfaced from sleep, and together we indulged in the infinite pleasure of bare feet on marble stairs and extravagant, endless breakfast. Sated at last by fried eggs and fresh fruit, sesame cakes and dark, bitter coffee, we returned to the harbour to at last pay homage to the towering mountains that we had only sensed the night before.
Their immediacy made my heart leap, and their all-encircling mass was both a comfort ad a distant terror. Between them sat the sea, still and impossibly clear and waiting. The whole landscape was waiting, as the mists rolled in and the air grew somehow swollen. A strange hush descended over the local families drinking çay and playing tavla.
As we reached the corner where the sea turtles feed, the spiced metallic tang of approaching chaos became feverish, and a rush of thunder startled us. The mountain dragons had truly woken, and the sea awoke to greet them. What had been crystalline stillness was now a thick, churning green, mottled with the motion of pelting rain. We ducked under the canopy of the nearest coffee kiosk, and sipped thick black sin as electricity raged around us – a symphony of spice and solder and saline air.
What may have been hours later, the clouds began to break apart. We strolled, sodden, back to the house as the cry of the muezzin rang out. The single voice that filled the air, matching the single beam of sun that made its way through the grey, created a surreal sense of triumph that followed us home.

Duvall, Wa
or.. did you want to send just the sketch?
looks good.. i see that the gray one would be much less sanding. i'll take it. how much? i trust ABS is paintable? you could play around with the sketch a bit and try making a "quarter" size inset about 2mm deep or so that an emblem of some sort could be glued in. But.. i don't have anything now.. i would be happy with what you got. Maybe later you could make a custom one that an emblem could snap in.
L28 NA.. Port or Manifold Vacuum
Dkyle posted a topic in Nissan L6 ForumI am encountering contrasting opinions on where the vacuum advance should be connected to while wrestling with getting my 280Z NA tuned correctly. http://datsunzgarage.com/engine/index.htm states.."For the vacuum advance dashpot to work properly it needs to be connected to a "manifold vacuum" inlet as opposed to a "port vacuum" type". Others, including the shop that will put my car on the Dyno this Saturday says it should be ported vacuum. I've been running it disconnected for now, set the ignition timing at 14deg with total timing around 30deg. While it accelerates OK, I'm trying to fix the "stumbling problem that the engine has at rpms lower than 2500. So.. that problem aside.. why is their a difference of opinion on where to get the vacuum advance? What is the consensus here?
280Z conversion to NA - stock Fuel Pump Safety Circuit
Dkyle replied to Dkyle's topic in Ignition and ElectricalDid you employ the "inertia switch" ? That circuit would appear to have 2 safety components. Inertia switch normally closed until it receives a "whack", or there is no oil pressure. I'm confused with the "Oil Press Switch"; is it used to trigger the relay when starting or when there is oil pressure? and.. if it works for you.. there must be sufficient oil pressure to activate the switch that, in turn, activates the relay as soon as the engine starts.
280Z conversion to NA - stock Fuel Pump Safety Circuit
Dkyle posted a topic in Ignition and ElectricalI have a 1977 280Z that the engine was replaced & converted to SU carbs. I have kept the stock Fuel Pump, and it runs to a Holley FPR & back to the Tank with a back pressure line of 4psi when it runs. I have separated out the EFI/Fuel Pump relay connectors from the EFI Harness and reconnected them back up to the relays. The picture shows the current configuration. I have a toggle switch now where the lines were to the safety switch that was in the Air Flow meter. The pump now runs when the ignition is on "Start" & when the ignition is "ON" if i connect "39" to "36". I should put in a safety circuit, but don't know how. I assume I can buy a relay like the one in the picture.. & I assume I would connect lines marked "39" & "36" (that is now on a toggle switch) to the relay's pin 30 & 87. What do i use as a signal to make the relay switch on? A +12V signal when the engine is running.. right? Either from the coil, distributor or alternator? In other words.. what do i connect to the relay's pin 86 & pin 85? ..or is there a better way to utilize what exist as a safety circuit.
yes, I have the UniSync; I'm much more confident with the carbs. I had the engine running about 2000 rpm and it was firing at about 30 deg BTDC. I'll have to look into that also, but now the dist is mounted all the way counterclockwise. Advanced as far as it goes. I would like to use the fuel delivery i have now; stock pump and the FPR. In the picture, the line to the right feeds the carbs at 4psi. The line to the left is where the pump is feeding in, & the center line returns the fuel to the tank. My problem now is that I have to manual switch 12 volts to the pump because i removed the EFI harness. I would like to use a relay & an appropriate signal to activate it. Here is a schematic of the existing EFI relay.. I would think (with utter lack of knowledge) that I could connect the pump to #74 & +12 volts to #73. Would then a signal on #72 & #76 activate the relay causing the pump to run? And where would that come from? It doesn't have to be from the ignition switch.. right? I should replace the ignition switch, replace my button setup i used as a workaround & get back to "normal". It will still leave me with having to manually turn the pump on before starting the engine.
2mm thick.. ABS. Should be sufficient. The overall height (or depth, from the perspective of looking at it installed) should be 25mm. At that depth, with 2mm material thickness, the 30mm "flat spot" measured from outside, it be enough room inside to clear the nut.
Update: I have the oil/dist. spindle 180 deg. off. I thought I was careful about that notch, i must have missed it when i pulled it to prime the pump. So now my #1 plug wire is 180 deg. off from everybody else. The car started right up with my set of toggle switch/buttons I have to use in lieu of an ignition switch. Fuel pump does not run; with or without the EFI harness. The harness is removed completely, & the fuel pump is running directly off the battery. I have a guage on the line to the carbs; it does maintain 4psi. Back carb is sucking more air than the front one.. another issue to work one. I'll get a new ignition switch. I would like to know how others maintain the stock pump & use a regulator.. what circuit do they use? While I'm at it.. Does anybody have a schematic they use to bypass the ignition switch?
I don't know why I stated "5 volts", must've had Arduino on my mind. It's 12 volts at the postive lead of the coil with it disconnected, 0 volts on the negative lead. With the terminals attached, both measure 12 volts. No voltage to solenoid. My biggest fault is that I don't know what is suppose to happen, other than turn over and start when key is turned. I find it physically difficult to measure at the switch. I did bypass the switch & was able to get it turn over, it backfires a bit.. but not a lot. Gas appears to be getting into the cylinders. I am going to get a new switch. I had the EFI harness removed completely & found that the fuel pump was NOT running when cranking. When i installed the harness, battery connection, & the relays, & the white connector with all but one green wires, the fuel pump was pumping while cranking. Another issue I need to understand. I'm now concerned if the timing is way off. It seems way too advanced. I show that the gear is in the right position at TDC. But it seems the rotor is too far forward. The line on the green tape is the center of #1 plug wire. This may explain the backfiring? Is it firing too soon? Don't how I could adjust any further than it is. So, there it is.. multiple problems.. & still lack understanding of how that relay circuit of the EFI harness plays.
I did nothing to affect the switch. Just know that I got a "kick" from the starter bypassing it. Manual transmission. I do have +5 volts at the positive lead to the coil with the key in the "on" position. With the coil hooked up it measures +5 volts at both coil terminals. Did i miss a grounding terminal somewhere when replacing the engine? There is a short black heavy wire that is in the bundle that connects to ballast resistor; it is open ended, only about a foot in length. I assumed that it was grounding a component on the EFI. Still looking for an answer on whether the pictured EFI harness can be removed completely, or whether I need that part of the circuit that goes from the battery to the relays & connector under driver side dash. I get the +5 volts at the coil (key at "on") with that circuit both connected & disconnected.
This iPad allows me to attach a file. The PC at work was giving errors.. I should start again.. I removed the EFI harness (attached pic). When I tried to start the car, it would just make "click" sound coming from under the passenger side dash. I'm assuming that is the ignition relay. I then installed the harness, connecting the 2 leads to the battery (the line going down & off the picture) and the 3 connectors at top of picture; black & white ones going to the relay under the driver side dash and the other white one that seems to connect to the coil, ignition relay, starter, etc. It seems that i will have to extract that set of wires from the EFI harness. But.. It still behaves the same when I try to start it.. just a click coming from under passenger side dash. I pulled the plug from the ignition switch and connected across terminals 14, 18, 16, & 15 & the starter moved, gave a " kick". My shaky handheld jumper wires allowed only that, did not pursue it any further. That is why I am now considering a circuit to bypass the switch altogether. I don't trust the switch. I did have a problem moving the key off the "Lock" position. And the key seems quite loose inside the cylinder; seems like it could just fall out while in the "On" position. I may be able to hook up a meter up to the coil & starter to read it while turning the key before I proceed. I was also asking, in the beginning, what others have done when replacing the EFI with SU carbs. I have only read that you remove the EFI harness entirely, but it appears that the EFI harness is just part of a bigger harness. And there seems to be hardwired connections between the 2. It's not intuitive, or straightforward how one separates the 2.
the drawing:
think "cap that covers the front wheel bearing nut"
looking at the '77 wiring diagram i find at http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/electrical.htm.. I need to restore the power to the EFI relay (&/or fuel pump relay?) and the connector that connects to coil via ballast resistor, ignition relay, the fuel pump, & starter. I still have the problem; looking at bypassing the ignition switch now. Any suggestions? seems a will need a couple of toggle switchs in series, then a momentary switch across the connections to the starter and the center of the ballast resistor. A toggle switch across 14 and 16, then that connected to toggle switch across to 10. Then a momentary switch across 18 & 16 (damn! I still can't paste, or attach a pic in a post)
i have reconnected the power to the white connector, plugged the other 2 connectors, all under the driver side dash. that was part of the efi harness i initially removed. That appears to be the EFI Relay; though elsewhere in documentation i see it is 2 relays, inc. a fuel pump relay. i connected the other white connector that connects to the coil, fuel pump, ignition relay, fusible links, etc. Lots of green wires there. it still behaves the same.. one click in a relay under passenger side dash. ignition relay? It's confusing (not the least because of my ignorance on the whole subect of wiring a car) to read ".. remove the EFI harness entirely, don't need it", & yet that wiring that comes directly off the battery to the relays seems necessary & all wrapped up in the EFI harness. BTW.. i will look into another setup for a fuel pump. i did run the pump seperately to fill the carbs.. successfully. The carbs get fed from The FPR on a 3.5 psi back pressure side. installing a low pressure pump is another wiring job i'm not famaliar with.

Murphy homeowners are smart shoppers! The city was ranked #27 on Money Magazine's 2011 list of the 100 best small towns to live in the US . The towns were selected based on "great job opportunities, top-notch schools, safe streets, economic strength, nice weather, plenty to do, and more" according to the magazine article. Readers have the opportunity to vote for their favorite small town by "fanning" the city's Facebook page.
My family initially elected to live in Murphy because of the green space, decent schools, moderate home prices and cultural diversity. The city has grown since in the six years we have been here and now offers many desirable amenities such as a variety of restaurants and nearby shopping. I still call it DFW's best kept secret.
Other Texas small towns listed include The Colony (#68), Cibolo (#77), Wells Branch (#92) and Keller (#93).

Going Greek! Oh my!
We had our final mission briefing a week before our flights were scheduled. Manfred told me to go purchase a Minox-B, a small 8mm camera about the size of a cigarette pack cut in half long ways, and some lubricated condoms. I was confused. I stood there for a silent moment trying to figure out why we needed condoms then it hit me. The horrific realization of what the condoms were for and how the camera was going to make the trip.
There was an awkward moment of silence until Manfred started to laugh, "You've never gone "Greek" before, have you? Shit it's moments like these that make this job worth it!" Then he really laughed hard as he explained in graphic terms the proper way to use the lubricated condom. We jokingly referred to this kind of operation as "Greek" and it was always funny until I realized that I was going to hide a 4" by 1" by 1" object with a three foot stainless steel chain attached to it up my ass. It was no joke that day. The rest of the team would have to transport film in the same manner and we would be bringing a load of film out with us. That was the day I learned to never volunteer myself for a mission unless I knew exactly what the mission was

Dipon Debnath
Success means not settling.
- Bangladesh
- Bachelor of Commerce student
Dipon Debnath left his home in Bangladesh to come to Saint Mary's in 2011. He was 16, finished high school, and focused on his future.
After researching business schools worldwide, he chose the Sobey School of Business, saying a scholarship and the unique features of the computing and information systems major helped sway him. Seeking a bigger understanding of the effects of technology, Debnath says his courses help him understand system interconnectedness. He enjoys project management in particular, and helping organizations embrace innovations. "It's what the world is working toward. Everything is interconnected nowadays," Debnath says.
Now 19 and in his fourth year, Debnath picked up a second major in finance, and is racking up accomplishments inside and outside the classroom. "I plan to keep working hard, innovating and learning new things every day," he says.
With a GPA of 4.17 and a commitment to giving back, Debnath has won a $15,000 Frank H. Sobey Award for Excellence in Business Studies. His application noted his volunteerism, which includes helping to write a corporate social responsibility report for Halifax's Laing House, successes competing in business case competitions, and initiative in starting a new student chapter of ISACA, an information systems global nonprofit. Debnath is also student representative with AIESEC, a global organization that creates leadership potential for interns, and vice-president marketing for the Sobey Accounting Society.
For Debnath, the award is an honour and also confirmation of his purpose and fit within his new community.
His two co-op terms to date have been with Bell Aliant, where he's worked with performance improvement teams to address customer service issues, and he's looking forward to completing his third co-op this summer. The co-op experience, he says, has taught him a lot, noting in particular the support he's received from Joanne Firth, his Employment Development Officer, with resumés and cover letters.
Debnath also credits the commitment of his professors with providing career guidance. He calls Dr. Karen Lightstone, who was his team's faculty representative at the recent Inter-Collegiate Business Competition at Queen's University, a "great coach." Debnath's team placed third in the prestigious national event, where in a pressure-filled final round teams have five internet-free hours to solve a complicated business case. For Debnath, who currently works on-campus as a teaching associate with the Centre for Academic Technology, and who one day hopes to work as a consultant for wide-ranging industries, the opportunity to troubleshoot real problems faced by retail, aerospace and telecommunications companies was fantastic.
When asked if he considers himself successful, Debnath pauses before replying that success is hard to define. "If you consider yourself successful, you'll stop working hard," says Debnath.

Public Art: Bird
Sculptor : © Fernando Botero
Description: A bronze, larger than life, "obese" bird
perched on a marble plinth.
Date Unveiled: The Bird statue was unveiled in
Funded by: United Overseas Bank (UOB).
Cast: Tuscany, Italy.
Location: The Bird is located in Boat Quay in front
of the UOB bank twin towers at Raffles Place, Singapore.
Bird Sculpture Tragedy: On the 10th of June, 1995, the original
Bird sculpture by Botero located in
San Antonio Park , Medellin, Columbia (the sculptor's hometown) was at the center of a senseless tragedy.
Supposed drug dealers had placed a bomb at the feet of the Bird during a public concert in the park. The enormous
explosion sent schrapnel flying into the crowd killing 23 innocent people (including a woman who was never
identified) and wounding over 200. In January, 2000, the devastated artist placed an identical bronze Bird entitled
"The Bird of Peace" right next to the remains of the renamed original ("Hommage against the Stupidity" ), as a sign
of peace. Botero said at the time 'When I learned of it, I said leave the (damaged sculpture) there, as a monument
to stupidity.'
On the blog www.2009-bird-sculpture.blogspot.com.au they have
included an article (written in German) hinting at a Government cover-up but I have been unable to verify the story
or find the original article. Basically it claims that color negative film taken at the time of the
explosion was later developed but withheld from the public. Ten years later the footage was restored and anaylsed
with more questions raised than answered . The official media release at the time of the explosion blamed "young
drug dealers" or FARC for the explosion but experts who anaylsed the photos of the original damage believed
the center of the explosion was located inside the airtight sealed metal figure not at the base. Which explains way
so many people lost their lives that night.
Bird Sculpture Trivia: Botero made four Bird
sculptures, one is located at the airport in Florence, Italy, and the two others are in San Antonio Park,
Medellin, Columbia.
Fernando Botero Quote
: "The most Colombian of Colombian artists."

Fully integrated appliances have become a hot trend here in Gilbert, Arizona kitchens. They are beautifully crafted, designed to be flawlessly integrated into your kitchen remodel, and work more proficiently than most kitchen appliances.
When you're in the process of remodeling your Gilbert kitchen, sometimes appliances can take a back seat to granite countertops, custom granite edges, islands, unique sinks, custom-made cabinets, and everything else.
Often, Gilbert homeowners will leave the appliances to the very last decision…basically filling in the gaps in the newly remodeled kitchen with a fridge that will fit, or a dishwasher that subtly slides in to place.
Well, take it from the kitchen remodeling experts:
Don't do this!
Your kitchen appliances should be unique to fit the style of your kitchen, and should serve a more customized approach to kitchen functionality.
Integrated kitchen appliances are beautifully crafted appliances that match the theme, colors, and decor of your Gilbert kitchen.
It can be a fridge designed to look like the cabinets that surround it.
It can be a dishwasher designed to look like the drawers that surround it.
It can be a microwave that is so well designed you don't even notice it's there.
Integrated kitchen appliances are literally appliances that are camouflaged to blend seamlessly into the design of your kitchen.
So, who specifically will benefit from fully integrated appliances?
If you have Capital Mark Interiors designing a custom, high-end kitchen for your Gilbert home, you absolutely need fully integrated appliances.
If you have custom colors or custom-built cabinets in your Gilbert kitchen, you absolutely need to have fully integrated appliances.
If stainless steel has run it's course in your kitchen, has resulted in too many fingerprints and too many hours spent cleaning, fully integrated appliances might be the right fit for you.
The best thing that you can do when determining if you'll want fully integrated, custom appliances in your newly remodeled Gilbert kitchen is to just ask the experts…the skilled craftsman and designers here at Capital Mark!
