Cooknee is Cincinnati's exclusive kitchen and bath showroom for European-style, full access cabinets. We have cabinets to fit any size budget and any design style ŌĆō from classic to modern ŌĆō plus countertops and hardware to match. Our business began in 2004 and created a focus on Euro-style cabinets in 2006, when we discovered a huge void for these cabinets in the Cincinnati area market. As Cincinnati and its surrounding communities continue to draw a more international style-minded population, a more streamlined, modern approach to designing living spaces has emerged. The advantage of Euro-style cabinets is in its front frameless design, which doesn't impede any part of the cabinet interior and allows full access to use the maximum space allowed in every drawer and cabinet.

Hi Jennifer (Gyles), I wanted to send off a note to you before our move...The kitchen has left me absolutely breathless - from the moment the initial cabinets were installed I knew this was something very special. I just stared and stared taking it all in...last year the kitchen was dark, dismal, drafty and cold but we had a vision and you guided us through it. Once again, thank you for all your hard work over the long months. Andrea B.
The kitchen looks amazing!! It was fantastic that the installer was
For both our main bathroom & kitchen we went to Vic with our suggestions and wants. He had such good ideas - especially about the smaller things we hadn't thought about. Very pleased. Jim & Nancy
We understand the local kitchen boutique business that you are trying to develop with other local kitchen boutique businesses (ie. counters, taps, backsplash, etc.) and applaud this model. We have however been disappointed with the quality and workmanship of the renovation part of the process. In order for your business model to succeed we feel that this portion of the work needs to improve. Darlene & Philip
Installers are very helpful, knowledgable, went over and above the work, agree upon. Rene & Debbie
Thank you for your outstanding suggestions in design and support. Dennis & Betty
We are completely satisfied by the professional courtesy and product line. We have absolutely no complaints. Thank you so much, Lowella & Jack
From start to finish this company listened to my needs, wishes & must haves. My girlfriend is plannning on doing her kitchen within 2 years and she will likely call upon your services. Everyone who has seen my kitchen so far says "WOW" what a transformation. My daughter has also called upon your services and was "blown away" by my kitchen. Regards Frieda
Great Job! Happy with end result. Have and will continue to recommend you. Ed
I wish the side panels of the large drawers were higher. Since I tried to stay out of the installers way, I didn't notice that the third shelves are too high.
Dear Marino. What can we say "We Love our Kitchen!! Thank you for your guidance and expertise in the design of our beautiful Kitchen. Entertaining with family and Friends is such a joy. Thank you to you and your Staff with Great Appreciation. John and Effie
Cannot really tell you about how happy we are with the new kitchen. Kyle was a dream and Vic you really listened to me and I love my kitchen. Tom & Lorrain
"We would like to express our appreciation for your company's work in remodeling our kitchen. We wanted to update and redesign the kitchen to make working in it easier. Despite our limited budget, Mr. Alan Fernandez designed an excellent and very functional kitchen. His suggestions and follow-up were very valuable throughout the design process. When it came time to do the installation, Ms. Lynda Bruce in Customer Service did a thorough job of scheduling the work. The installation was done by Andy. His workmanship was outstanding and the field inspector, Mr. Doug Walker, addressed all our concerns and had the minor corrections done in a very timely fashion. Your sub-contractor, Uniform Custom Countertops Inc., was equally professional and efficient. Our whole experience has been very favourable and we would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone planning a kitchen remodeling." Sincerely, S. Coral Sloan & A. Habib
Amy Barnett designed our new AYA kitchen. The functionality of Amy's design totally transformed our kitchen, Amy did a fantastic job! George and his crew were very professional and did a great job, including making some much appreciated suggestions. We are THRILLED with our new kitchen and definitely will recommend AYA's products and service.
My husband and I purchased a brand new home recently. Part of our decision to choose this builder was that they offered AyA cabinetry in the kitchen and washrooms. We've heard great things about AyA and were excited to have a quality product in our new home. Unfortunately, although the cabinets themselves were gorgeous- the installation fell flat. We had mouldings installed incorrectly, crooked doors, missing shelves, etc. Thankfully AyA was very keen to correct the issues and worked very diligently to ensure we were satisfied. They were in constant communication and moved ahead as quickly as production allowed them. When the work was completed, they reached out to ensure we were happy. Overall we were impressed by their desire to provide customer satisfaction and appreciate all of their hard work. Our cabinetry looks amazing and we consistently receive compliments on the beautiful matte finish. We love our AyA cabinets and would definitely work with them again in the future. A special thanks is owed to Gina, Eric, Brandon, Semily and the fabulous installation team members we had the pleasure of hosting in our home. Work with AyA- you won't regret it!
Jennifer Gyles, Yes! We are very happy. Thank you for suggesting that the grey cabinet piece be incorporated around the microwave. It looks terrific. We appreciate all your help...and are very happy with the final product. Peter
Love, love, love our new kitchen. Jennifer was always professional, helpful and available to assist with our numerous inquires. Going with AyA you can't go wrong.
Thank you, I am completely satisfied and happy with my new kitchen, a happy housewife makes a happy home (LOL) Claire & Denis
My husband and I recently had our bathroom renovated by Marianna Santacroce, she was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We were very happy with the service provided by Aya kitchens. Marie Ramsay
Excellent team! Great advice every step of the way. Always accommodating and great sense of humour - lots of laughs. Overall, satisfied customer! Pierrette
Installation was on the date set. Installer timely and neat. Overall good service and product!
Excellent serviceģ excellent staff. It was an extremely pleasant experience. Thank you Vic & Rana
nice dealing with Wael again - excellent planning, design, and follow-up - the product and installation were on time and perfect -Charles is outstanding... we would certainly encourage others to deal with Aya..thanks so much. Bob and Jackie
I just wanted to let you know that the installer has come and gone and did a wonderful job. He was a very professional and friendly person ¢ a complete pleasure to deal with. Thanks again, Sue Kress
I really enjoyed working with you on my kitchen project. Thanks so much to you and Sue. The kitchen looks fabulous. I will not hesitate to recommend your company to others. All the best, Liz
We approached Innovative Kitchens by Design to renovate our kitchen within a tight deadline, as we wanted our renovation completed before the arrival of our new baby. Brenda and her team prioritized the design process and accommodated us in order to approve the plans, order the cabinetry and schedule an install date. Though a kitchen renovation is a big undertaking, working with Innovative proved to be very easy and stress-free. From day one, Brenda communicated with us through every step of the process, offering advice and guiding us on every detail. The install process was very professional; installed as scheduled, clean and even followed up with a quality inspection once the install was completed. We are so happy with our new kitchen. The modern look and functional design is perfect for our growing family; a transformation far better than we could have ever imagined!
Very pleased with the product as well as the installation.
Thanks for the follow up and the great finish to the project. I would definitely deal with you again should I ever need a new Kitchen.
Highly recommend AyA Kitchens, so much selection....
A totally positive experience from start to finish. The workers were efficient, accurate and very pleasant. Jim & Barbara
My wife and l want to say how happy we are with AyA's service. In particular, we would like to thank our Designer Jennifer Freiberg, Shawna, and George for their amazing service. Our kitchen looks fantastic, and everything is complete and cleaned up. We were very surprised that it took four weeks to do it all. We were really impressed how George came by at the end of his long day and finished off our plumbing and electrical work too. He was great. I have already told him this, but l thought it was important to also let the company know. Jennifer and Shawna were also amazing - any emails, calls etc. from us were dealth with super fast and to our satisfaction. These people need to be recognized - they are what sells your kitchens.
We are extremely happy with our new dream kitchen. Tony & Myrna
We had a great experience with Aya Kitchen from the designer with the design through to the installation. If I had to do it again I would use Aya Kitchen and our designer Joanne H.
Our decision to renovate our 27yr old kitchen was a daunting task, to say the least. First of all we needed to find a company we would feel confident in to help us design our kitchen, then expertly install it. AyA met up to our expectations, Jag provided professional installers, who worked through the weekend to make sure our kitchen was completed. Lina helped us design an efficient, practical, aesthetically pleasing kitchen. The quality and craftsmanship of the cabinets is excellent and reasonably priced. The workmanship of the installers, Remy & Josef was exceptional. We are highly satisfied with our new kitchen and we would definitely recommend Aya Kitchens of Oakville. - Alastair and Catherine Aitken
Very courteous staff and very patient with our crazy schedules. Highly recommended, thanks for a wonderful experience. Dana & Steve
To Jennifer Gyles, The warped doors have been replaced and the touch ups (done). It looks great. Aya(Kitchen Gallery) has been the best part of the renovation. You have been on top of the order and managed all dated as stated. In hindsight, this is essential to making a reno work. - Louise M.
I would like to thank you for all your help with designing a beautiful new kitchen for me. I am very happy with the end result and I know I would have never come up with the idea you had if I tried to do it on my own. It was a great experience from start to end and in the future if I ever have another renovation to complete I will definately seek your help. Everyone who has seen my kitchen loves it! Thank you, Sabrina
ōWe would like to take this opportunity to thank you for an amazing kitchen. The workmanship was excellent and the finished product is lovely. The designer provided us with an excellent design for our small space, the product is well made and the entire experience of working with AYA kitchens was excellent. We would highly recommend you to our friends. Your prices were very competitive with the "big box" store. Thanks for a great experience.ö John and Annette Hrab
Great Work! If we do any work in the future to our bathroom and closet we will definitely come back into the store. Thanks for such a great looking kitchen! Laura & Stephen
Hi Marino, I am a little embarrassed this email took so long to get to you. Both Sue and I wanted to say thank you for all you have done in making our home/kitchen buying experience such a pleasant one. Thanks for ensuring all the repairs got done. We love our kitchen and am so glad for your help in making our selections. Scott had told me a lot of good things about you and he was right on. It was a real pleasure meeting you and dealing with you. Thanks again! - Kevin and Susan De Silva Piques
Pina and Mario 2008- This is our first kitchen using Aya Kitchens. We absolutely love the finished product. Marianna Santacroce was our designer. She made us feel comfortable from the get go. She designed our kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room from start to finish! We would highly recommend Marianna and the Aya team for their excellent service, skill and professional handling. Thanks again! Pina and Mario from Pickering.
It was a pleasure working with you all. Even though it was a relatively small purchase we were treated like we were spending a million dollars. I only wish I had received this kind of treatment from a competitor of yours three years ago, when I renovated my kitchen! I have already recommended Innovative Kitchens By Design and will continue to do so. Thank you for showing you care about your customers. Pat
"I am a professional Interior Decorator here in Sudbury, and have had the pleasure of working with the Innovative Kitchens team on many projects. We've done custom kitchens, library units, living room storage units, window seats, you name it! The team at Innovative Kitchens is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I always feel confident bringing my clients here for all of their custom cabinetry needs!"
I did a lot of research and liked the look of your product. The designer was alot of help and your installers were excellent. Inge
"Just wanted to thank you again for helping me acquire my dream kitchen. The cabinets get nothing but rave reviews. The full extension + anti slam drawers blow people away."
Best service I had through the process of building my home. Lovely staff, I won't hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. Thanks, Sue
It was a pleasure working with you. Rana, your quick, thorough and kind responses were very much appreciated. Sue & Vic your friendly and helpful ways were also appreciated. Installation and service were top notch. Liana
Very happy with our new kitchen.
Love, love, love my kitchen! Installer Kyle was amazing. All is complete and we use it everyday. Thanks a bunch.
I have been dealing with Aya Kitchen Gallery since 2004. I am a small custom home builder/renovater.I have been extremely pleased with their products and service. I deal with designer, Marianna Santacroce. She really goes the extra mile to help me and my clients with her great design ideas. Keep up the good work!
The cabinets were installed by Dean yesterday. Super nice guy and such a hard worker. He worked late too to complete. Very committed to customer service. He said he needs to come back on Wednesday to finish up with the trim. Can you Please let Marino know that everyone I have dealt with from AYA are top notch employees and provide superb customer service. That includes you Mario. Thank you for putting up with me and all my changes in the layout etc. Your professionalism is outstanding and very much appreciated. I will be recommending AYA to my friends and family. ¤śü Kind Regards, Kim
We are very pleased with the look and function of our kitchen! Pass on our thanks to your installers, they were great!
A great experience - very pleased with the end result. Thank you. Marc & Trina
Very satisfied! Joanne & Christopher
All aspects were great except the issue of not having the drawers at the time of installation. Appreciated the effort in getting it solved. Suggest a method of receiving inspection to address. Herman
"We had met with several other kitchen companies and none of them had an actual designer to assist us with all of those fine details that could normally stress me out. Andrea was our designer ... The price was very competitive and with Aya we would be getting solid cherry doors and not veneers. Thanks to Andrea's design we would also be able to install more cabinets than those quoted to us from other companies and also obtain more counter space. Our dream of owning a gourmet style of kitchen was now going to be a reality ... We would highly recommend this company to any of our friends and family!"
Excellent product & service. Your staff did an excellent job. We'll call you when we are ready for the kitchen. Thank you, Greg
Great Experience! Enjoyed dealing with all of your people.
"Very high quality cabinetry at a reasonable price." Dolores W.
Thank you for such an excellent experience! From the design to the installation, everything went smoothly.
To Jennifer Gyles
We recently purchased our kitchen through Aya. Our designer Marianna helped us create a kitchen that suited our needs. We are having our kitchen installed at the ending of May 2011 and are excited knowing that all of our expectations will be met. Thank you for your professionalism and patience! Eric and Veronica.
I had a wonderful experience with Innovative Kitchens. The designer listened to what I wanted and suggested things I didn't know I wanted. She worked carefully with me to ensure the kitchen turned out exactly how I liked! The contact and contractor that Innovative Kitchens recommended were terrific to work with, and very professional. I love my new kitchen!
Words are few and the phrase is short, but it means a world of appreciation. Thank You Marty!!! - Andrea Marian
"Thanks to Randy, Steve, Shawna and Chris, my daughter now has her dream kitchen. We were extremely happy with the attention and service we received and we will certainly recommend your company to our friends who may be in need of a new kitchen." - Ines Slakmon
"My husband and I just wanted to let you know, how satisfied we are with our new kitchen. It's amazing how much difference a well designed kitchen makes. We went from a kitchen with extremely little storage and counter space, to actually having extra cabinetry to store things... Your designers also managed to incorporate an entire wall of cabinets around a new built-in kitchen table, that simply accentuates the contemporary flow of the room. AyA Kitchens and Baths was a pleasure to work with...and we would definitely recommend this company to our family and friends!" Nicole M.
Hi Jennifer Freiberg, I wanted to thank you again for designing such a wonderful kitchen. I am SO thrilled! Thank you to George, Mario and Ian too... amazing work. Everything was so well planned, the renovation went so smoothly. Nobody can believe it got completed so quickly. I have passed on your name to my friends and collegues. Again, a great big thanks! Christine and Family.
Great work and great staff. Pamela & Rob
My kitchen is amazing! Thank you so much! If you would like "after pics" just give me a call. Thank you and everyone at Innovative Kitchens for this wonderful gift from the radio station and you. Melissa & Alaina
We are very pleased with our new kitchen and will recommend your company to others. Thanks to all of you for making it such a pleasant experience and thank you for the "Thank you" gift, Diane
I want to Thank You for my Kitchen. It was installed yesterday and I love it! It is so much more functional and better use of "Dead Space" looks gorgeous . Your Installer Jeff was amazing, he works with confidence and he has a sharp eye for detail beyond belief.....Love him too! Thanks Marino, you will be seeing me again. Ari
Our kitchen reno went off without a hitch (except for Sears appliance deliveries). We are thrilled with the quality, your installation (Kyle is terrific) and the design.
"We are so pleased with AyA, The professionalism of your team and quality of the product are unbeatable! Despite a mix-up, you resolved the problem and left me a satisfied customer. Throughout the process, I have appreciated the communication and honest responses from the AyA team. I will be referring you in the future." - Kristin B.
After the same kitchen for 28 years, we needed help, and we got it from AYA; particularly our designer Marianna. We only endured about 3 months of dust and distruption, but it was worth it! We LOVE our new kitchen !!! We gutted our old kitchen, hired some helpers for dry walling, electrical, painting etc. and with Marianna's guidance, we chose the right colours, products, and finishing touches. Overall, we are very pleased and would recommend AYA to all our friends and neighbours. Greg & Joan Bordash Pickering
Our 28 year old kitchen was tired and in need of an overhaul. That's exactly what we got with AYA and their designer Marianna! We are very pleased with our kitchen and have no regrets on what we chose. We only endured 3 months of dust and disruption, and it was worth it! We would recommend AYA to all our friends and neighbours ! Greg & Joan Bordash, Pickering
We really enjoyed working with you. Vic was very helpful throughout the process and responded quickly to our questions. We were very impressed by your installers ability to modify the cabinets to better suit our needs. We appreciated your help in co-ordinating with Centis when we had the scheduling issue. Thanks again! Tim & Wendi
Kyle is fusier than me, hard to believe but great service. Rana really knows her stuff. My sister will see you soon for her kitchen. Thank you Gary & France
We are very happy with our new kitchen! We love the design of the kitchen bar. The only thing we wish we could have maximized the space a little better with certain add ons such as...pan, baking pans holder next to stove in the open space & garbage! We were in a hurry to get things done though so that is mostly our fault. Thanks very much for everything. We will refer you. Jake & Tori
Aya was the first company that we chose to begin the search into renovating our kitchen. We first saw their advertisment in our local newspaper and a friend happened to note that her nephew got their kitchen from Aya and was very happy. Our first impression with Lina the designer and Jag the manager was so positive that they stayed in our minds as we continued with our research. In the end, together, with their professionalism, excellent designing talent, knowledge and care, a vision evolved into a beautiful kitchen within our budget. We say care, because they tried to give us the best possible options for our needs and wants. Installation was on time and their installers, amazing! Jag came several times to check during the installation. Upon inspection, Jag personnally came with Lina to see if everything was to our satisfaction. A piece that didn't arrive at installation time, came a short, reasonable time later of which we were very understanding and had no problem with. Jag went above and beyond our expectations to make us happy. We are thrilled with the whole process and product. Thank you Lina and Jag and Aya for your excellent business. We are enjoying our beautiful kitchen so much and will tell everyone who is in the market for a new one.
"I purchased a home from Mattamy Homes in Cambridge and the workmanship and quality really surpassed my expectations, the Kitchen Cabinets and crown moulding look fantastic. Again, thanks on a job well done." - Deborah C.
We recently built a new cottage and went to Aya to design our dream kitchen. We wanted to deal with Aya since our good friends had just completed a new kitchen with Aya, which was simply gorgeous. We were delighted with the outcome and would be confident recommending them to others. As a result of our experience, our builder has switched from their long time kitchen supplier to Aya.
We are very happy! Everything was done when promised without delays with utmost professionalism. The kitchen is stunning and now our favourite room in the house. Thanks for the great experience. Lorrie & Luc
Thanks Marino, I have gotten many compliments on my cabinets. Thanks for the great work! Mary and Paul
The installers were great, quick & tidy, friendly.
Dear Wael Bakr,
It was a totally positive experience and I am very happy with the whole project. Sharon
We are so happy with the design and the product that Wael Bakr and the team at AYA Kitchens did for us. The level of professionalism and knowledge by both Wael in the design and Charles in the installation was exceptional ¢ what a great experience. The entire process was done much earlier than planned and for a very good price. What really impressed us was the level of detail that Wael went to, ensuring that every small detail was taken care of to exceed our needs. My wife and I fully recommend Wael and his team to fulfill your kitchen/ bathroom needs. Cheers, Kevin & Chantal
We were very very satisfied. The crew was polite, consciences & meticulous. Our replacement door came in a timely manner. Thank you and the comments from everyone coming to my home says the kitchen is exactly from a magazine. Thanks again, Nicole & Guy
Always a pleasure to work with Vic - willing to guide "the do it yourself", with his unlimited knowledge. Thanks Doug & Lorrain
Garry and I would like to thank you for our beautiful kitchen. We absolutely love it and so does anyone that has seen it! It's very impressive!! You were right Marino to go with the large vent hood. It is definitely the focal point. Please pass along our thanks to the rest of your team. The installers were very nice and did a great job. Very impressive that it was delivered on time. Much appreciated!!! You are welcome to drop by any time to see your finished product. Maybe you would like some pictures. Black is so the "in" colour right now so I guess I picked the right one!! Thanks so much PS - I would just like to add that our whole experience with you people was wonderful from the beginning to the complete finish.
We just had our kitchen redone by AyA and we are thrilled. Our designer was very helpful and completely redesigned the existing layout creating a far more functional and attractive space. The quality and workmanship were excellent, and a couple of unexpected challenges during installation were dealt with quickly and professionally.
Hello we recently purchased our second AyA kitchen, great product and excellent service from Ms. Marianna Santacroce! Thanks again, Alex Arancibia
We absolutely love our new AYA kitchen. Working with Wael Bakr was an absolute pleasure. Wael is a true professional, with an excellent knowledge of design and fantastic customer service skills. AYA was able to give us our dream kitchen without a heavy price tag. They were on-time and on-budget and made us always feel like a priority customer. Many thanks -- Ryan & Christina
We are very pleased with how everything turned out. Sylvie & Justin
I just love that they offer a selection of vintage rustic looks. It's just beautiful!
Jennifer Gyles, Thank you so much for the follow-up on the kitchen. Everything is perfect now. John
I shopped around first and aya had the best prices and quality. Also I found them very helpful in meeting my budget.The sales girl had lots of fresh and new ideas to update my kitchen. My next house will have a AYA kitchen ...... chris Klingbell pickering
Hi Jennifer (Gyles), We're still getting comments on our beautiful kitchen. Thanks again. We're enjoying it very much. M & K
The designer knew exactly what we had wanted. She did an amazing job and even the installers were excellent. They even praised her cause her measurements are always right on. I make sure to tell everyone about the excellent service and workmanship. I can't say enough about our cupboard & service. The flooring place recommended to us were also amazing. Rob knows his stuff as well. Very nice people to deal with. Also Sherwin Williams were excellent as well. Thanks Dave & Carol
Marino, thank you so much for making our dream kitchen a reality. We are thrilled with the outcome. It is everything and more that we hoped for. All the best! - Julia and Charlie
We want to express our appreciation for the terrific work that your kitchen designer, Wael Bakr, did in designing and managing the installation of our beautiful new kitchen. His attention to detail and in pulling everything together from design to cabinetry, tiles, backsplash, sink and counter top was so appreciated. It saved us time and money by avoiding mistakes by doing it ourselves. We appreciated his availability and patience in answering questions along the way. Timeframes were adhered to, which meant that the disruption to our lives was minimal. Thanks again AyA Kitchens. Sandra and John
We are so pleased with our wonderful kitchen remodel. Ravi and his staff from Aya Kitchens were very helpful and professional from start to finish. Ravi made sure we were happy with all the details and offered many great suggestions and solutions, before and during the project. We've already referred Aya Kitchens to family and friends. All have been very happy with the end product!
Love it! Great Job! Joddie
Amazing & Friendly, helpful & courteous - worth every penny!
From the moment I walked into Innovative Kitchens, I was greeted by staff who were very attentive to what I was looking for. Brenda and staff did an excellent job of planning the kitchen according to my needs. I wasnŌĆÖt simply renovating, I was completely flipping the kitchen around. Innovative Kitchens came back to me with several proposals. All of them were within the specs and budget I had communicated. I am very impressed and pleased that Brenda made herself available to answer any questions I had regarding the project. The quick feedback and advice saved me from making costly mistakes while planning for hydro and pluming. My new kitchen was delivered and installed as planned. The sales and installation team were helpful throughout. The delivery was smooth, and the installers were efficient and pleasant. The finished kitchen looks great and my family and friends are all impressed with the work done by Innovative Kitchens. I'm very impressed and satisfied and I would recommend Innovative Kitchens to anyone.

We will recommend you to anyone who is planning a new kitchen as you were so patient, helpful and thorough throughout the project. Sending our best wishes for Christmas and 2020! Veronica & Arthur Herriott
We are thrilled with our kitchen. It is beautiful and functional and meets our needs. The staff (including Sue) couldn't have been more helpful with everything up to & including colour picks. We have received nothing but compliments & thanks so much.
"Working with Aya Kitchens was truly a professional experience. Their designers really showed their expertise. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was above my expectations. The result of their teamwork and effort is picture perfect . The continued compliments are the proof." Thanks, Vince McIndoe and Family
We worked with Joanne Hamaway and she was so patient and professional. It was clear she cared. We had a number of meetings to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted our home. We are also extremely please with after service. The installation was on time, which is rare, and seamless. I would go back and highly recommend. PS These cabinets were custom not out of the box but with fair pricing. Too much to say THE BEST
I love my new AyA Kitchen, the designer was great and the service was amazing.
Thank you for the one on one that you provided. Michelle & Gilles
We would like to express our appreciation for the excellent kitchen design and installation work done by AyA Kitchens. Our designer Jada Lane was very professional and knowledgeable through the entire process. Our Kitchen design was done exactly to plan and on schedule. Quality people, quality of service, quality cabinets is we have gone back for our second project. We would recommend Aya kitchens to anyone without hesitation!
Thank you for everything! Love my new kitchen!
This is to acknowledge the sterling service we have received from your organization. We would like to specifically mention Designer Jennifer Freiberg, and also Installer Craig and Tiler Ian as well as the scheduling staff. We were very impressed with your logistics. Thank you. Karen and Dick Budel
"I am writing to tell you that I recently had new kitchen cabinets installed and the entire process has been wonderful and the cabinets are beautiful. Amy Dillion was outstanding as was the installer and the inspector. I just wanted to let you know that one of the main reasons I chose AyA Kitchens was your commitment to FSC and your other environmental commitments." Bruce Lourie, Ivey Foundation President
Very pleased with final outcome. Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend your product and service to others. Fran
You were very helpful. We loved the fact that you took the time to come to our home, took a look and came up with 2 plans for us. You were a pleasure to work with. All the best in your business for the future. Warm Regards Melissa & Charles
We recently purchased our kitchen through Aya. Amy Barnett was our designer. She did a great job designing the kitchen and was very involved from the beginning to the end. Thanks Amy!
Just wanted to thank you and your company for looking after us and installing a kitchen that we are now really enjoying. As with any new kitchen, especially when the functionality and lay-out has been changed, it does take time to get used to. By now we have figured out where everything is and enjoy the additional work space. The counter top is awesome for cleaning. And the overall look is what we were looking for. We slowly got used to working with the gas stove and now would not want to change back to electric. Overall we are very satisfied. Thanks again for a great design. Please pass my comments on to the management of your franchise.Best Regards and all the Best for 2011. - Dietrich H. Look
Thank you Marino! The kitchen is beautiful! Best of luck in your new venture. - Sincerely Diane Cooper
I purchased an older home recently with a completely ineffective kitchen. I prefer to shop locally, so I visited Innovative Kitchens by Design and discussed options. Innovative Kitchens sell (Aya) Canadian made cabinets. Aya is a very good product along with plenty of colour and design choices. You canŌĆÖt have enough storage space in a kitchen, so I added a pantry to my design and the expert installers incorporated it seamlessly. I am elated with my new kitchen.
I had the best costumer service ever with Joanne. She's very friendly and provided me with all the information I need. She's been very patient, kind and made me feel so comfortable.

For Warriors, Green's work paying off
Recommended Video:
Plenty has been written about the remarkable offseason steps Draymond Green took to transform his body and his shooting accuracy.
But the Warriors' forward said a simple decision to start playing more like himself this year was much more important than his half-hour sessions of riding an exercise bike in the sauna or his countless hours of taking jump shots.
"I think that last year, a lot of times, I wasn't me," Green said Monday, fresh off making a couple of crunch-time plays in the Warriors' 115-113 victory over Sacramento a day earlier. "I did the hustle things, but, especially offensively, I wasn't me. I didn't look to make plays, I sometimes didn't shoot the ball when I was open or I didn't have confidence in my shot.
"My main thing coming into this year was to be me and do what got me here. The Warriors didn't draft me to do what didn't get me here. They drafted me to do what I did to get here."
Green is doing just that.
His scoring, rebounding, assist, steal and blocked-shot averages are up this season. He has more than doubled his defensive averages, and he's close to doubling his points and play-making in just five more minutes per game than he played as a rookie.
If his frame, which went from a somewhat doughy 250 pounds to a hardened 230, isn't enough to make the point, Green's three-point shooting improvement is undeniable. He made 14 threes on 67 attempts all of last season, and he already has 14 threes on 36 tries this season.
Opponents have taken note. On the team's just-completed trip through New Orleans, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Sacramento, a defender trying to stop a Warriors' 2-on-1 break twice cheated toward Green - instead of sharp-shooting Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson.
"When you're on a team like this, with such great three-point shooters, you don't want to be a liability," Green said. "It's not like you're going to shoot to the extent that they do, but you just don't want to be a liability on the floor. It helps open up so many things on the court."
Green challenged Curry to a three-point contest during last season's playoffs and then confidently knocked down nine in 12 postseason games. Green is still looking for a rematch, and he's always looking for more from himself.
He left Michigan State as the school's all-time leading rebounder and finished second in steals and blocked shots. He was second in triple-doubles to Magic Johnson and invariably will find some comparisons to the oversized, do-everything point guard who came before him.
"Please," Warriors head coach Mark Jackson joked. "He already thinks (too much about) the Michigan State thing with Magic Johnson and all of that."
Jackson tried to warn Green not to play into the media's line of questioning as they traded positions on Monday's dais, but Green couldn't help himself. If he's doing anything, he thinks he's going to win.
"Oh, absolutely," he said. "My entire life, I've been put in a role where I've sometimes had to initiate offense. It's nothing foreign to me."
When Green was asked to initiate the offense in Sacramento, he was mostly just dumping an entry pass to David Lee on the block or to Curry on the elbow. Green went on to talk about the intricacies of ball placement and timing to make the ensuing shot easier for his teammates.
Green comprehends both the schematic and spiritual sides of the game. He goaded Lee about not dunking an alley-oop pass he dished earlier in the game Sunday, but deep down, he was happy that Lee found a way to lay it in.
"That would have been a top-10 play, but he had missed his first five shots," Green said. "At that point, you just want to see one go in, and it was a play that helped spark our run. ...
"I've never worried about the things that people notice."
He's too busy worrying about things that win games.
Tuesday's game
Who: Raptors (6-10) vs. Warriors (10-8)
Where: Oracle Arena
When: 7:30 p.m.
TV/Radio: CSNBA/680
Of note: Starting small forward Andre Iguodala (hamstring strain) and backup point guard Toney Douglas (stress reaction in his leg) will miss Tuesday's game and their status for the team's three-game, Friday-Monday road trip will be decided soon, according to head coach Mark Jackson. ... The Warriors have won 10 of their past 12 meetings with Toronto and have beaten the Raptors eight straight times in Oakland. ... Stephen Curry has career-best averages of 27.3 points and 8.5 assists in six games against Toronto. ... Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan has scored at least 17 points in a career-high 10 consecutive games and is averaging 24.3 points per game during the stretch. ... Power forward Tyler Hansbrough started Sunday in place of Amir Johnson, who put up 23 points on 10-for-10 shooting and 15 rebounds against the Warriors in March. ... Toronto is third in the league in offensive rebounds (13.1 per game), having grabbed double-digit offensive boards in all but three games.

Tamanrasset, Algeria, was established centuries ago along the trans-Saharan trade routes. The routes evolved into the Trans-Sahara Highway, and Tamanrasset remains a key outpost today. It is an oasis where citrus fruits, apricots, dates, figs and other produce are grown.
It's also a key oil center, with several large facilities located nearby. A single clay road serves as a pipeline from the facilities, connecting them to the Trans-Sahara Highway.
The clay road was in need of repair. It came as no surprise given the pounding of both the heavy trucks that use the road, as well as the sun. Temperatures in the desert city of about 70,000 are among the highest ever recorded. Highs have hit 47.4º C (117º F) in both July and August. The average temperature in July is 35.9º C (97º F).
The baked clay can become brittle as the heavy trucks travel the roads. Yet the road also experiences extreme temperature changes over the course of the year, with average lows falling to 6.4º C (44º F) in January. Those on the jobsite believe that the temperature fluctuations likely had as much to do with the deterioration of the road as did the heat itself.
The soil road desperately needed repair. Cost was a key consideration, so the decision was made to go with stabilization. A Cat® RM500 Rotary Mixer was the machine selected for the job by Chebli & Tellawi Corp., the contractor handling the work.
The project called for all 50 km (31 miles) of the connecting road to be stabilized by the RM500. The road was to be stabilized at a width of 9 m (30') and a depth of 20 cm (7.9"). Plans also included the use of a special bonding material to strengthen the road that leads to the oil facilities.
The work began in February. Preparations had to be made before the RM500 could make a pass.
First, a dozer made a very rough grading pass. This work mostly required removal of large stones that had been brought to the surface by the heavy trucks and temperature fluctuations. The dozer also cleared larger chunks of broken clay.
A water truck then sprinkled the roughly graded surface. Next, the RM500 made a stabilizing pass. Ahead of the RM500 was a truck containing the bonding material. A hose connected the rotary mixer and the truck that contained the binding agent. The emulsion was mixed with the soil in the mixing chamber of the RM500.
The bonding agent is made from calcium and lignin, a complex polymer extracted from paper pulp. Lignin is environmentally friendly, as it is a natural fiber found in trees and plants.
The bonding agent was chosen because of its fit with the existing clay road. The agent helps make clay more elastic, preventing material from breaking loose. The organic binding agent also facilitates compaction.
A motor grader then made a finished grading pass, followed by a soil compactor.
Hitting the deadline was crucial to the project. Inefficiencies associated with the work would have cost the oil industries time and money. Once the work was started, it had to be completed in a hurry.
Weather also added time pressure. The project started in February, when the average temperatures range from 7.5-20.6º C (46-69º F). But the likelihood of a heat wave increased with every passing day.
Another challenge was that the operators had never previously worked on a rotary mixer. The speed of the project increased quickly as the crews grew in experience. At the beginning, the crew was stabilizing 58 m (190') per day. By the middle of the project, the pace was 600 m (1,968') per day.
By the conclusion of the project, crews reached a working speed of 1200 m (3,936') per day.
It was a substantial increase and showed how quickly operators can adjust to the new machine and bring productivity to the worksite.
The durability of the machine also impressed Chebli & Tellawi Corp., as did the productivity. Operators, meanwhile, appreciated the sight lines around the machine. "We are impressed by the visibility," said one operator.

In recent years, there has been a surge in web applications. To support the growing market, frameworks have developed around scripting languages for developing web applications fast. Of those Ruby on Rails seems to be the most mature. Django, the most advanced Python framework for web applications is yet to come at par with it.
Be it Django or Ruby on Rails, both follow a model-view-controller architecture to web applications. Now, many web applications using these frameworks follow 'skinny controllers, fat models'. As a result the models become home to a lot of business logic. Models are intended to serve only as an abstraction to the database. They are meant to be 'models of data'. Also, when the application grows huge, we run into issues of scalability and we resort to techniques like sharding. Now, there are of course multiple ways of sharding and you need to decide what suits you better. Here, I list a few ways for Rails applications.
Now, sometimes the sharding logic also creeps into the models. Obviously objects of model classes do not have a single purpose any more. Over time, the model classes obviously become too complicated. It becomes difficult to maintain and debug. The Rails community is becoming increasingly aware of these issues. There are multiple ways in which developers are trying to move business logic away from models. Here I list of couple of those ways.
Looking at the overall scenario reminds me of building N-tier applications using Java Enterprise Edition. The sharding logic and details of data fetching can be a tier below models and the business logic can be a tier above it. ' seems to me developers using web frameworks like Django and Rails are just re-inventing the wheel. Also, Java has optimized garbage collection which can be tuned to various needs. In Ruby garbage collection seems to be a big issue, though good work in the area is coming in the next version.
So much in the name of innovation, eh? In case my ideas seem to waver from reality do point me in the right direction.

Item #3060
63 days from transplanting. Lots of bold flavor in a small, 3" pepper, jalapenos are a staple pepper of Mexican cuisine. Jalapenos are incredibly versatile. They're hot enough to add a little kick to your favorite dish, but mild enough to use almost anywhere. Enjoy green or allow to ripen to red for a sweeter, bold, complex flavor. Jalapenos rate 2,500-5,000 Scoville heat units (medium hot).
This packet yields approximately 56 plants started indoors.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: For mild climates only: 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost, when soil temperature is at least 70°F.
When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°?90°F. Transplant seedlings outside 2 to 4 weeks after average last frost, and when daytime temperatures are at least 70°F, and nighttime temperatures are at least 55°F. Mild Climates: Can also sow in late summer for fall/winter crop.
Harvesting: Harvest when mature size and firm. Jalapenos can be harvested green or red, and are hottest just when they begin to turn from green to red. When harvesting, take care to avoid touching the interior of any broken peppers, as the capsaicin is an extreme irritant, especially to the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after harvesting or wear gloves to harvest peppers.

Client authorises KLEYN and its representatives irrevocably to enter all premises and to remove the goods in question (or have the goods in question removed) from where they are located and shall ensure this right of KLEYN and its representatives with client's customers. Client shall provide all cooperation necessary in order to effect KLEYN's retention of title. All costs related to the removal of the goods are for client's account.
- Client shall be authorised, if and to the extent necessary in the ordinary course of its business, to dispose of the goods which are subject to retention of title but this does explicitly not include the right of client to pledge or otherwise encumber the goods (both contractually and in rem).

Client shall also be obliged to grant KLEYN on its first request a non-possessory first ranking pledge on all claims which client has or shall obtain on these third parties and to state in the deed of pledge that client is authorised to pledge and that the claims to be pledged are unencumbered. Should client refuse to do so, this provision shall be deemed to include an irrevocable power of attorney for KLEYN to create this pledge.
- The property law aspects of retention of title to the goods shall be governed by Dutch law or, at KLEYN's discretion, by the laws of the country of destination of the goods, provided that (i) the laws of such country in respect of retention of title provide better protection to a creditor than Dutch law and (ii) the goods are actually imported in that country of destination.
- If a creditor of client levies execution against, forecloses on, or takes possession of, all or any part of the goods owned by KLEYN or if client files for an application or an application is filed with regard to client for bankruptcy or if client is declared bankrupt, if an application for a (preliminary) suspension of payments with regard to client is made or granted, of if client is made subject to the WSNP, client shall immediately inform KLEYN and shall inform the party making the attachment that it has obtained the goods subject to retention of title.
- KLEYN is authorised to suspend the fulfilment of its obligation to return goods owned by client, which KLEYN has in its possession by virtue of the agreement, until the claim of KLEYN with regard to this agreement has been paid in full, including interest and costs.
- If client continues to use an exchanged motor vehicle in anticipation of the delivery of the motor vehicle ordered by him, such use takes place at client's risk and all costs regarding the first mentioned motor vehicle and any decrease in value thereof are for client's account.
- KLEYN shall not be liable for damage caused as a result of any default in the fulfilment of its obligation(s) towards client. The fulfilment of the obligations under guarantee/claim as described in article VII serves as sole and full compensation. Any other claim for compensation, including claims for trading losses (losses due to stoppage, loss of income, incurred losses, lost profits), personal accidents and any other consequential or immaterial losses of whatever nature, including damage as a result of liability in relation to KLEYN shall not be liable for wilful intent or (gross) negligence of (non-managerial) subordinates or other parties which are engaged by KLEYN under the agreement and for which KLEYN can be held liable by law.
- KLEYN accepts no liability for advice given by or on behalf of KLEYN.
- KLEYN shall not be liable for damage to motor vehicles of client and/or of third parties which are located on its premises.
- Client shall indemnify and hold KLEYN harmless against any and all claims of third parties related to the delivered goods or services rendered, to the extent such claims are in excess of or additional to claims which client is entitled to invoke vis-à-vis KLEYN. Client shall indemnify and hold KLEYN harmless against any and all claims for personal injury or death of employees of client or of third parties and/or damage to property of client and/or of third parties to the extent the event leading to such claim takes place at KLEYN's premises. The foregoing shall not apply to the extent the damage is caused by willful intent or gross negligence of KLEYN or its directors.
- Legal and contractual limitations of liability which suppliers or subcontractors of KLEYN can invoke vis-à-vis KLEYN with respect to the goods delivered or services rendered, can be invoked by KLEYN vis-à-vis client.
- KLEYN stipulates all legal and contractual defenses that it can invoke in respect of its liability towards client also for the benefit of its employees and agents for which it can be held liable by law.
- The foregoing provisions do not affect liability based on mandatory law
- Force majeure shall mean any circumstance outside the will and control of KLEYN, whether or not foreseeable at the time of entering into the agreement, as a result of which KLEYN can reasonably no longer be held to fulfil its obligations towards client, such as war, import or export restrictions, governmental measures, lack of raw materials, factory or transport disruptions of any nature whatsoever, strikes, trade prohibitions, lockout or lack of personnel, quarantine, epidemics, hold-ups due to frost, default of suppliers or of third parties engaged by KLEYN for the performance of the agreement, etc.
- In the event of force majeure, KLEYN shall not be obliged to fulfil its contractual obligations. In such case, KLEYN is entitled to perform within a reasonable period or to rescind the agreement in whole or in part, without being liable to pay damages. Client is in the event of force majeure for KLEYN entitled to rescind the agreement, after client has granted KLEYN a reasonable period within which to perform.
- In the event that any of the provisions contained in these AVW KLEYN or in the agreement with client are (partly) invalid and/or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be in force to the fullest extent permitted by law. The invalid or non-binding part shall be replaced by provisions which are valid and binding and which come nearest to the intention of the parties and the aimed economic result.

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's Hector Jimenez grew up a fan of the team and used to watch the annual SuperClasico's between the defending MLS Cup champions and Chivas USA. Now he'll finally get to play in one.
Last year's second round draft pick (34th overall) out of Cal-Berkeley understandably can't wait for Saturday's latest battle between The Home Depot Center co-tenants (7 p.m., KDOC, Telefutura, AM 1150, 1330 AM, LIVE CHAT).
WATCH: Galaxy preview SuperClasico
"I'm super excited," Jimenez said after Friday's light training session, which was the club's first following the 2-2 draw in Vancouver on Wednesday. "I can't wait to get the first one under my belt."
Jimenez, who has started the last six games on the right side of midfield, has two good friends playing for Chivas in former Galaxy teammate Paolo Cardozo and Cesar Romero, a rival from his youth soccer days. But friendships go on hold when these teams meet.
Saturday's game is a rematch of a May 19 game in which Chivas got a 71st-minute goal courtesy of a Jose Erik Correa penalty kick to defeat the Galaxy 1-0.
Jimenez said he hasn't forgotten that game – "It's something that always stands out," he said – and already has a good idea of what kind of emotions he'll be feeling Saturday.
"They're our neighbors, a real rivalry," he said. "But we have to step on the field with them and let them know this is our field and they're the ones paying the rent here."
Also looking forward to the rematch is the Galaxy's Robbie Keane, who missed the earlier game because of a tight hamstring. He has been on a tear of late, with four goals in his last three games, including two each against the Chicago Fire and Portland Timbers.
"This is a game I'm certainly excited to be involved in," he said, "but it will only be good if we get a result. Two teams that have been in good form, and hopefully it will be a decent game for the public to watch."
Chivas USA (6-7-5, sixth in the Western Conference) is coming off a 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers on Wednesday at The Home Depot Center. It was only the third victory of the season at home for a team that has been offensively challenged, to say the least. Chivas has scored the fewest goals in Major League Soccer (12), but it's also allowed the fewest (18), earning goalkeeper Dan Kennedy his first-ever spot in the MLS All-Star Game.
Former Galaxy striker Juan Pablo Angel leads the visitors with three goals on the season while Correa and Alejandro Moreno are next with two each. However, that trio has scored just three times in seven games since the May 19 meeting with the Galaxy.
The Galaxy (8-10-3, fifth in the West) are coming off a two-game swing through the Pacific Northwest that started with a wild 5-3 victory over Portland and concluded Wednesday with a thrilling 2-2 tie against Vancouver. The Galaxy scored twice in the last nine minutes, the second goal compliments of rookie of Jose Villarreal with just three minutes left in regulation.
Keane said he is optimistic for Saturday.
"With the work ethic the lads have been putting in and the attitude we have," he said, "we certainly have a good chance to win the game."

Night after night, members of the Middletown High School Marching Band have found themselves playing in a venue like no other. The Marching Middies have been striking up at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
Night after night, members of the Middletown High School Marching Band have found themselves playing in a venue like no other. The Marching Middies have been striking up at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
They're performing in the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production of "Love's Labour's Lost." The musical opened Monday and runs through Sunday.
The Marching Middies auditioned for the play and beat out about 40 other bands to win the coveted gig, said their director, Robert Gavin.
"They really liked the kids," said Gavin. In fact, director Alex Timbers liked them so much, the Public Theater is paying to have the band bused nightly to and from New York City.
Prior to opening night, they've had three weeks of rehearsals, said Gavin. The kids — anywhere from 33 to 37 band members, depending on who's available — board the bus at 4 p.m. and are back in Middletown by 1 a.m.
The musicians range in age from 13 to 18. Each receives $20 per performance as a paid intern.
Until opening night, Gavin said he had to keep their role in the musical under wraps.
"We're a part of the finale, but we were a surprise," he said. "I couldn't even post it on Facebook until the show officially opened, because we were supposed to remain a secret."
The musical takes place in a college reunion setting. After the characters confess their love for one another at the end of the performance, the band suddenly strikes up and surges forward, as if out of thin air.
"It's a real cool effect, where part of the band comes out from two entrances under the audience's (bleacher) seats and then the rest of the band enters," Gavin said. "It's one of the happiest parts of the show."
For 15-year-old saxophone player Sheila Adjei-Mensah, the experience has inspired her to give acting a try.
"The best moment is definitely when we come out and everyone stands up and claps," said Adjei-Mensah, who will be entering 10th grade in September.
The experience has been a real education for the Middies, said Gavin.
"They've been able to see all of the facets of a production and they've met the actors, producers and musicians," he said. "It's been an amazing summer, and I don't know how we'll top this next year."

The Shitzu NRG 900 is a superbike in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and is one of the fastest motorcycles in the game.
The NRG 900 is a sport bike which inherits the general design and role previously filled by the PCJ-600 in the 3D Universe (considering that the HD era's PCJ-600 is now redesigned into a streetfighter, rather than a sport bike). The name suggests a connection to the NRG-500 racing bike from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas; possibly that the NRG 900 is a modernized, commercial version of the NRG-500.
The NRG 900 is the only series of superbikes in GTA IV, and is available in two variants: The NRG 900F and the NRG 900RR. Cosmetic differences between the bikes are apparent, as the F variant is intended for casual use, having a license plate, turning signals and bar for a passenger to grab onto, while the RR variant is significantly sportier with fewer accessories and a more aggressive styling.
The NRG 900 is mostly based on the Suzuki GSX-R series. Depending of the version, the F variant has a similar front end to the early 2000's GSX-R750 models, while the RR variant is closely based on more recent GSX-R1000 models.

Grand Theft Auto IV
The NRG 900 is the fastest bike in Grand Theft Auto IV, but is outpaced by the newer bikes introduced in The Lost and Damned. Both variants excel at stunts and tricks; they are, however, difficult to control due to the brutal power distribution and massive torque at higher revs. Its handling characteristic is better suited to circuit use than public road use. It also possesses poor durability. The NRG 900 also features one of the heaviest bodies of the HD Universe sportbikes, which reduces the ability of characters to lift the bikes and perform wheelies and stoppies.
GTA IV Overview
Notable Owners
- Lyle Cleethorpes
- Tommy Francovic
- Frankie Garone
- Juan Haimo and his two unnamed associates
Image Gallery
In GTA IV, an NRG 900 is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a uniquely dark gray body color. As a new NRG 900 will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- A motorcycle dealership stocking both the F and RR variants is located in Westdyke, Alderney. Stealing bikes from the shop will attract police attention.
- Two NRG 900s can be found at Francis International Airport. One is in the high-security runway area, around the left side of the main control tower, which attracts a 4-star wanted level. The other is safely accessible on the northern edge of the runway area, behind the landing lights by the northernmost radar station. This bike may have someone sitting on it, but you can just knock them off.
- The NRG 900 is common in all of Liberty City.
- Can appear more often driving a Coquette.
- Frank Garone owns a NRG 900 which can be obtained after you kill him during the mission, I Need Your Clothes, Your Boots, and Your Motorcycle.
- Tommy Francovic of the Algonquin Most Wanted list rides one.
- The NRG 900 can also be spawned by dialing (625)-555-0100.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
|This article contains insufficient information and is considered as a Stub. You can help the GTA Wiki by expanding it as much as you can.
- The Beta version of GTA IV featured a slightly different NRG 900, with different stripes, and omitted 'shitzu' badging.
- In GTA IV, the default radio station in the NRG 900 is Liberty City Hardcore.
- NRG is a homophone of the word energy.
- F and RR variants are characteristic of the Honda CBR range of sport bikes.
- The cover of GTA IV shows the NRG 900F with NRG 900RR badging.
- The NRG 900's speedometer's highest listed speed is 200 MPH.
- Driving a NRG 900 seems to greatly increase the chance of rare sports cars spawning in or around Star Junction.
- Riding NRG 900s will help a Coquette appear more often.
- Sold at the Auto Merchant in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars at $600.
- The NRG 900 shares the same horn sound as The Ballad of Gay Tony's Bati Custom.
Bugs and Glitches
- If the player shuts off the bike's engine and turn it back on, it sometimes will not make a sound. This bug also applies to other vehicles, most notably the Tug and the Cognoscenti.

I was looking through some old pics the other day and before my days of HDR'ing…I actually took normal shots! This one is the Chrysler Building seen from the top of the Empire State Building. What a view of a beautiful city up there! I miss NYC. I have not visited in a few years. Hope I can get back this summer. I gave the shot the vintage look along with a little selective focus…both thanks to onOne's Photo Suite! I bet its cold in the city right now!! Spring will be here soon!

There are a few common problems with old cars that we will all need to deal with at some point, and they all have a couple of things in common: Mother Nature and Father Time. These two play havoc on cars: drying out seals, fading paint, and probably the worst of all, causing rust. Iron Oxide is a nasty thing that literally eats away at our projects. If rust is not dealt with correctly—even if it's in its infancy—it will come back. If left alone, rust will get to the point you can't do anything but cut it out.
Surface rust, or "patina" as some call it, has not reached the thick scale type rust, so the metal that is still there is thick enough to be left alone once the rust has been eradicated from the surface. The usual way to remove this type of rust is to media blast the vehicle, either by a pro or at home with your own gear. Both of these are somewhat expensive, and can be very messy and/or inconvenient.
So what is a DIY'er who doesn't have a blasting rig supposed to do? Use modern chemicals and some good old fashion elbow grease. Eastwood, a well-known name in the DIY department, has a full line of rust products specifically geared for at-home use. It has liquids that remove rust, encapsulators to lock in rust, and even converters that change rust into something inert. From there, the company has all you could need to further prep the surface and ready it for paint. Heck, it even has paint if you are proficient with a spray gun.
We have been slowly working on a '70 Z28 Camaro. Most recently we changed the quarters and some other sheetmetal out because the rust was so bad. The rest of the car is covered in surface rust that we need to remove before we could get it all in one single color. We just want the car to look somewhat respectable while we are upgrading all the mechanical parts. Once we have that all done, we will then send the car in for a paint job. The Eastwood products will help us get there and save us a ton of money. We won't have to buy all the supporting sundries that go along with using a spray gun. No stir sticks, mixing cups, filters, and cleaning solutions will be necessary when you are using a rattle can, even expensive ones. Not only did we fix all the rust and smooth out the body, we even sprayed the entire car with some flat black to see if rattle cans could do an entire car. But you will have to wait till the end of the story to see those results.
Paint It Black
Speaking of paint, Eastwood also has some low-gloss black paint in the 2K line. With the same can technology as the primer, this time the can is filled with a ceramic-infused paint. We like the flat-black look, but we are not good enough with a pro spray gun to do it ourselves. We decided to find out if this new stuff can be used as a viable option to painting the car.
It took 12 cans (a little over a gallon) of the 2K Aero-Spray Underhood Black to fully cover the Camaro. Even with the decent fan the can provided, it was still hard for us to keep the paint from tiger striping. We suspect a few washes and a bit of wear should even the finish out. So the big question is, is this a viable option to painting your car? The answer: It's possible. The black paint is $25 a can so it cost us $300 to paint it black, which is a lot less that a professional would charge, but on par if you had to buy a gun, paint, mixing sticks, filters, mixing cups and so on from Eastwood. The clean up is as simple as throwing the can away. Overspray is pretty minimal so the need to mask everything perfectly was unnecessary. Keep in mind we did this just to make the car look presentable while we do all the mechanical upgrades. When we are done with those we will paint the car properly. One good thing about the Eastwood stuff is we won't need to strip all of this off. With the 2K we can just scuff it and apply our next paint job.

I'm no blog expert, but I'm pretty sure it's poor blog management when you "disappear" and pen nothing new in three months, six months, nine months, or (choking gasp) nearly one full year. I have been charged with the following offenses: Blog abandonment, neglect of a diary-like webspace, and being a blog-block. I am here to readily admit to being guilty of these crimes, which are considered felonies in the justice system of the blogosphere. Unsure of the punishment I deserve, I face you, the jury and give the following defense:
A conglomeration of events occurred, causing my creative energy to be squelched. Some of you may remember that I was chronicling the mystery swelling that was wrecking my physical health. (Unfortunately, it is still undiagnosed and is not improved, but I am dealing with it and currently trying some extreme dieting ideas to try to pinpoint the problem myself). At some point, there simply were no more words to say about it and no good news to report. I didn't want the blog to be a wallowing pity party, and it was becoming clear that there was not a solution coming any time soon. That was event number one.
Around a year ago, my then wife decided that she could not handle my illness any longer and informed me she had filed for a divorce. There were some signs (big ones, actually), but it was still a shock. I certainly felt betrayed. That was event number two, which actually counts as about one million events rolled into one since I was worried about what this would do to my daughter, custody issues, quickly finding a new house, selling ours, figuring out how to afford health insurance, etc.
I've certainly thought about my blog since then, but I just didn't know what to do with it. I considered deleting it. I considered moving some of the past entries into a brand new blog. Most of all, I just couldn't stomach coming to it. Until now. I am ready. I love my new house. My daughter is incredibly inspiring (I do have co-custody and have her half the time), and I am a happy person at peace (except for the health issue, of course). My faith is strongly intact. I decided to keep the blog the way it was, sans a couple of "couple" pictures and some obvious updates that were needed "about me" in light of the situation. I could go back and delete any entries where I praised my wife or that sort of thing, but the reality is that whatever I wrote at that time was the truth in my world at that moment so I'm leaving it alone.
So I guess I'm back in case there are two or three people out there who give a crap whether this blog exists or not and are willing to forgive my neglect instead of tossing me in blog solitary confinement. By the way, this will not be a blog to rip my ex. She's a good mother; that's all that matters to me about her anymore. We're on friendly terms. I've chosen for the sake of my daughter and my own peace of mind not to be bitter. That will be the last said about that by me.
My daughter, nearing kindergarten age, seems to be taking everything in stride. I am very thankful for this. She is the light of my being, and I never want to see her hurt. She is currently obsessed with the idea of me marrying Trish from the television show "Clean House." At least she seems to have good taste! Oh, and my daughter just asked me to be her Valentine. Life is beautiful.
It's good to be here and to get reacquainted with you. Hi, I'm Matt.
