The Narrator
Where do the stories take place?: In a fictional part of an English speaking European country. A Kingdom ruled by a King and Queen. There may be multiple Kingdoms popping up as more royalty accumulates. When do the stories take place?: I won't give an exact date, as most fairy tales don't take place in a specific time or place. In a medieval setting, that's for sure. Deviations can be made now and then, since it's a fantasy setting, and there aren't any historical landmarks lying about to fence you in. What kinds of things happen around here?: People are cursed, murdered, enchanted, tortured, molested, intoxicated and dumbfounded all the time around here. Crazy things happen. They HAVE to happen, or what else will these characters do with themselves? Crazy things need not ALWAYS happen ALL the time, but it's encouraged. |

SIGNIFICANT numbers of Australian troops will be home by the end of the year as the handover of security control to Afghan forces progresses, Defence Minister Stephen Smith has said.
The Australian Defence Force's 680-strong 3rd Battalion (3RAR) Task Group has already been replaced by the smaller 300-strong 7RAR Task Group, as the mission focus moves from mentoring and training to advising and supporting Afghan forces.
Mr Smith told parliament on Thursday that based on latest advice, security responsibility in Oruzgan province would be fully shifted to the Afghan National Army (ANA) by the end of 2013.
"As the transition proceeds there will be changes in the composition of the ADF commitment in Afghanistan," he said in an operations update.
"The overall number of ADF personnel will not substantially decrease until towards the end of 2013, as additional personnel are deployed temporarily to support the transition and redeployment effort."
However, 65 RAAF air defence troops are being deployed in Afghanistan to replace the Slovakian force, which provides security at the main multi-national base at Tarin Kowt.
The Afghanistan task group remained combat ready so it can assist the ANA if needed.
The Special Operations Task Group continued to conduct partnered combat operations to disrupt the insurgency.
Mr Smith said the details of the fifth and final move to transfer security responsibility to Afghan forces would be announced soon.
He warned insurgent Taliban forces were expected to increasingly target Afghan security forces, using improvised explosive devices and high-profile propaganda and insider attacks.
"As the transition proceeds, Afghanistan will remain difficult and dangerous," Mr Smith said.
Opposition defence personnel spokesman Stuart Robert told parliament the ANA would be operating against a determined enemy without the assistance and guidance from its Australian mentors.
"Can the ANA and the security forces stand on their own feet?"
However, Mr Robert said he remained confident of their ability because they had been trained by the finest fighting force on the planet.

Malcolm McLaren: The Look of Music and the Sound of Fashion
Hosted by
Alanna Heiss
In this exclusive, two-part program from 2004, legendary entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren (1946-2010), performs an impromptu monologue, spins a few tunes and discusses his long career in fashion and pop. McLaren's work at the time involved experimentation with "bastard blues," "chip music," "post-karaoke," "rock and roll Gameboy music" and "mash-ups" which he here exemplifies with a fusion of Captain and Tenille's Love Will Bring Us Together and New Order's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Is student loan debt just hype? Two economists say yes (via Ideas Market):
As the Fed study showed, 43% of student borrowers have less than $10,000 in debt, and 72% have less than $25,000. And the College Board shows that, in 2009-10, 56% of those graduating with a B.A. from a public college took out a loan. The average debt of these borrowers, after adjusting for inflation, was $22,000.
Is $22,000 too much debt? Paid off over ten years, monthly payments would be $217 at an interest rate of 3.4% (the current subsidized rate) or $253 (if the rate goes up to 6.8% in July, as scheduled).
Under the graduated payment plan, the initial payment would be $140. Another policy option would be to allow students to pay this debt over 20 years instead of 10, thereby cutting the monthly bill to just $126 ($168 if rates go up).
By way of comparison, Fed data show that the average new car loan is $27,000. This corresponds to a minimum monthly payment of $500 (assuming an excellent credit score, which few students have).
Meanwhile the NYT has a post about student loan horror stories–but from those who borrowed from private organizations.

FIREARMS are flowing into Australia at more than double the rate of five years ago, triggering fears about public safety.
The weapons are being legally imported but gun-control advocates are warning of a marked increase in the risk of shootings and other gun crime.
Customs figures show 85,035 handguns, rifles, shotguns, military firearms and air firearms were legally imported into Australia last year, up from 39,389 in 2006.
The popularity of handguns has exploded, from 5876 to 19,561, while imported air guns have increased from 106 to 8452. During that time, detections of illegal firearms at Australia's borders has decreased 66 per cent from 17,635 to 5922.
Gun Control Australia spokesman and Tasmanian lawyer Roland Browne said Tasmania already had the nation's highest rate of licenced shooters and that the population of about 510,000 had about 35,000 licenced shooters and more than 126,500 registered guns.
Mr Browne said in Tasmania between 100 and 150 firearms were stolen each year and the state had this year suffered a spate of shootings and gun thefts.
Gun Control Australia president John Crook said current licence testing was abysmal.
"Everyone who sits in some areas passes, imagine that being the same for a doctor examination -- all they have to do is prove they won't shoot themselves in the foot and they get a licence," he said.
"The public can expect the further weakening of gun laws, and it looks like the increase in gun numbers within Australia will continue."
Mr Crook said the concern was not just that legal handguns were being poorly locked up, then stolen and put onto the black market, but the majority of gun massacres in Australia were carried out by legal gun owners.
"Nearly all gun massacres were not done by criminals, they were done by people who legally owned guns," he said.
Sporting Shooters Association of Australia executive director Tim Bannister said it was rare for legal firearms to be used in violent crimes.
"Criminals are not the ones asking for police checks and applying for gun licences," he said.
"Gun owners are actually the most law-abiding people in the country they have to be, with the continued scrutiny they are under," he said.
He said member numbers had grown to 144,000 nationally, triggered by increased animal numbers because of the drought and the association's ability to attract people aged under 40.
Police sources agreed with Mr Bannister, saying their main worry was the hundreds of thousands of illegal firearms in Australia rather than registered firearms falling into the wrong hands.

Another Day of Strong Gap Up, Then Rollover Into The Close
The stock market indices had a strong session until midday, when they pulled back and rolled over into the close just like they did the last two days. It's amazing that the patterns are very similar.
The day started out with a gap up, a pullback on the Nasdaq 100 that held the 2707.02 and exploded to 2727. The S&P 500 went from 1397 to 1407 and rolled over into the close, closing at just about 1401. The NDX pulled back to 2714 and closed at 2717.
Net on the day, the Dow was up 51.09 at 13,168.60, about 48 points off its high, giving back about half the gains. The S&P 500 gave back 6 points and closed up 7.12 at 1401.35. The Nasdaq 100 was up 23.07 at 2717.16, 10 points off the high.
Advance-declines were a little less than 2 to 1 positive on New York Stock Exchange, and about 2 to 1 positive on Nasdaq as well. Up/down volume was 5 to 2 positive on New York, with total volume of 719 million shares. Nasdaq traded just under 1.9 billion, and had a 4 to 1 positive volume ratio.
TheTechTrader.com board, as a result, was mostly higher, but again, most of the stocks were off the highs. Leading the way was percentage gainer Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. (CRMB), on a deal with Starbucks Corporation (SBUX), was up 1.36 to 3.41, or 66%, on 1.4 million shares. BroadSoft, Inc. (BSFT), on strong earnings, closed up 9.55 to 37.45, or 34%, on 7.2 million shares. Fossil, Inc. (FOSL), also on strong earnings, was up 21.98, or 31 1/2%, on 6.9 million shares.
Ducommun Inc. (DCO), on a deal with Bell Helicopter, jumped 2.77 to 12.51, or 28%, on 288 thousand shares. Tumi Holdings, Inc. (TUMI), on strong earnings, gains 4.27 to 22.78, or 23%, on 3.1 million shares.
Other gainers of note included AECOM Technology Corporation (ACM) jumps 2.84 to 18.82, Exterran Holdings, Inc. (EXH) up 2.70 to 18.21, Visteon Corp. (VC) 5.19 to 35.19, Conns Inc. (CONN) 3.03 TO 21.38, Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (ARCO) 1.88 to 15.23, and Movado Group, Inc. (MOV) 3.06 to 25.78.
In addition, Cepheid (CPHD) was up 4.54 to 38.70, Multimedia Games Inc. (MGAM) 1.64 to 15.44, Warnaco Group Inc. (WRC) 4.94 to 47.50, Mindray Medical International Limited (MR) 3.61 to 34.96, Plantronics, Inc. (PLT) 3.42 to 36.89, and Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) 1.67 to 19.37. VIVUS Inc. (VVUS) gained 1.96 to 23.18, First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) 1.62 to 20.68, Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA) 1.98 to 30.25, and Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. (VSI) 3.81 to 60.52 was among many other multiple point gainers today.
On the downside, Apple Inc. (AAPL) was actually down 1.64 to 620.91, and Google Inc. (GOOG) was down 2.28 to 640.54. However, Priceline.com (PCLN), which had been up as high as 682.97, is down more than 50 points in after hours on disappointing earnings. So that will bring Nasdaq 100 down some as well.
Facebook, Inc. (FB) was down 1.20 to 20.72.
Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices were up sharply in the morning, but couldn't gap up, and then a strong rally got them up to new rally highs for this year. They then rolled over into the close just as they did in the last couple days.
Let's see how it goes tomorrow.
Good Trading!

Sennheiser Announces Grand Prize Winner of the $10,000 Ultimate Sound
Hook Up ContestAndrew Bean of Montville, NJ Earns "Serious Headphone Hook Up" and Trip to See Alternative Band Muse, After Expressing Unbridled Passion for Sound Quality
OLD LYME, Conn. – March 11, 2010 – Sennheiser, the premium-quality headphone manufacturer, announces the grand-prize winner of its $10,000 Ultimate Sound Hook Up Contest, which it launched back in November. Andrew Bean, a 22-year-old senior at Duke University, won an assortment of headphones as well as an all-expenses-paid trip for him and several of his friends to see his favorite band Muse perform anywhere in the U.S.
The guiding principle of the contest was to encourage passionate sound lovers from the U.S. and Canada to articulate why high-quality sound is important in their lives. Contestants from all backgrounds were encouraged to submit entries–including YouTube videos–describing what they would do with the 'ultimate prize.'Bean's video (http://tinyurl.com/andrewbeanie) described the many different real-life scenarios in which high-quality sound can play an integral role in a variety of activities such as exercising, gaming, working, playing music, even sleeping. His video, which clocked in at just over five minutes, was selected because of its 'passion and authenticity.' Each contestant was judged on three fundamental criteria: The expression of what sound means to them, overall creativity and an explanation of why they deserved to be "hooked up."

Posted Katarzyna Odrzywołek/Poland
We will always feel robbed, empty and incomplete in the confrontation with the memory of the Holocaust, but the testimony offered by your presence here is the spark that lights up this abyss a little. (...)
Mark A. Rothman
On January 24th, 2012 year in the afternoon in the Auditorium of the Collegium Novum of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow a formal meeting of the Cracow Medical Society, organized on the occasion of 67 anniversary of the liberation the Auschwitz-Birkenau and the International Day for the Holocaust was held. The meeting was opened by Professor Karol Musiol, Rector of the Jagiellonian University and led by the TLK chairman prof. Igor Gościński. This year's ceremony was organized with the cooperation of the Medical Society of the Krakow Jagiellonian University Medical College, Center for Holocaust Studies at the Jagiellonian University and the State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau.
I feel robbed and filled with the optimism in the same time[...]
The Director of the Holocaust Museum in Los Angeles, Mark A. Rothman started his speech with these words. Thanks to modern technology Royal City of Krakow joined with the City of Angels for about 20 minutes long videoconference.
Robbery was the key word there, it helped the speaker to describe the situation of complete chaos, which took place during and after the Shoah. Mark Rothman as he admits feels robbed, because due to the quickly passing time (67 years) he is still unable to answer the question embarrassing him - why? It is believed that the only way to understand the Holocaust is to take for granted the fact that we were robbed and we will never fully understand how and why the Holocaust took place. Rothman also pointed out that the work and lives of most people present in the conference room is devoted to moving these boundaries, exposing and maintaining the truth.
People endowed with the gift of history ...
In this way Mark Rothman has called all the participants of the conference who did not directly experience the atrocities of war, but got the great mission-the mission of transmitting history. By participating in these celebrations we have become the witnesses of the witnesses, we are blessed with a magnificent gift.
At the meeting we heard the stories of two witnesses, former prisoners of concentration camps. These were the people concerned with concentration camp traumatic experience and actively involved in helping the former prisoners . The first of them, Dr. Witold, MD, Krzyzanowski worked in France for the construction of the Atlantic Wall, then in Paris, he was a member of the Resistance actively involved as a member, unfortunately captured by the Gestapo, interrogated and beaten, imprisoned, he was put in prison in Bordo. Then in January 1944 he was sent to Buchenwald, where he got the number 44 320. In June 1946 he returned to Poland, and after six years (1952) completed his medical studies. He was awarded with the Order of Knight of the League of Honour and the Cross of Auschwitz. Another survivor was Dr. Thadeus Smreczyński MD. During the occupation he was deported to forced labor in Saxony, where he worked at repairing railroad tracks, but soon decided to run away. His escape plan to get through the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia to Romania, then Hungary and from there to Britain failed : he was arrested while crossing the border. He managed to hid the fact of escape and thus was employed in the quarry, he decided to run away again, to get to Kraków, and helped the escapes of Poles who worked in the Third Reich. Arrested in December 1943 he was put in prison by Gestapo in Myslowice, then he was transported to Auschwitz, soon sent to Mauthausen sub-camp /Linz III No. 78 731/ .He did different jobs – for example he worked in the kitchen. After the war he returned home and graduated at the Medical Department of the Jagiellonian University.
The next stage of the conference was devoted to the camp artists. Auschwitz Museum staff discussed the work of Mieczyslaw Koscielniak and Janina Tolik, in turn, Prof. Assoc. B. Alexander, MD, Joseph Bau Skotnicka. The whole conference was enriched with a recital by Maria Slawek and Peter Rozanski of the Academy of Music.

Ray Romano loves his 'Parenthood' role
NEW YORK (AP) — Fans of "Parenthood" love Ray Romano.
The former star of "Everybody Loves Raymond" is currently appearing on NBC's "Parenthood" in a multi-episode arc as a photographer involved with Lauren Graham's character. He's hoping the love lasts a little longer.
Romano told The Associated Press on Tuesday he shot his last episode for season four and if the show gets a fifth season, he would consider coming back.
"As long as they have a good idea for my character, I'd be happy to do it," Romano said.
Romano told show runner Jason Katims he was a fan of the show and joked that since his series, "Men of a Certain Age" was canceled he was "unemployed and would work cheap."
This season concludes Jan. 22. No word on if it has been renewed.

This past Saturday I had my second Nuptial Mass since the new revised English missal came into use. I've had plenty of Nuptial Liturgies outside of Mass, but Saturday's was my second Nuptial Mass using the new missal.
The new missal has a very unusual rubric. The penitential act is to be omitted and now it explicitly says to say or chant the Gloria.
Without the Penitential Act's introduction, it is awkward to get from the Greeting to the Gloria. For example to say or chant "The Lord be with you" and its response, do you then go directly into the Gloria?
On Saturday, I said some spontaneous remarks that in retrospect was simply poor liturgical blather.
I don't think it would have been forbidden to have the Rite of Sprinkling with Holy Water, but I don't know.
The Anglican Use Rite for the Nuptial Mass has the Kyrie chanted or said after the chanting of the Introit and the Greeting followed by the Gloria. How does that sound?
7 comments:
Yessuh, more of the PC liturgistruction. I do not know why they did this, but I have a hunch it was to "keep a happy and jovial atmosphere in such a wonderful and celebratory time." That is, political correctness.
It is exceedingly shallow to do such things as this, of course, but when in Rome... It certainly is rather dramatic to go from the greeting to the Gloria, but it is still artificial and strained and liturgically awkward. Papal Coronations always have the "Penetential Act," and such events are many times more joyous than a wedding. Silliness.
Furthermore, I do not think it could be justified to use the asperges between the greeting and Gloria. However, you certainly could do your signature pre-Mass EF asperges. That, and in Latin, would set a solemn tone quite effectively and quickly. - July 9, 2012 at 1:11 PM
Father, I wanted to let you know that our priest celebrated the Rite of Betrothal for my boyfriend and I last week. We had our engagement blessed by the church in this beautiful ceremony. You should look into it, it seems like something you might be interested in :-)
- July 9, 2012 at 1:24 PM
Not an immediate solution, but wouldn't this problem be solved by a return to the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar? Still another reason suggested by this morning's EF Mass: On a ferial weekday like this with no proper feast, the worshiper does not ordinarily know in advance how to mark his missal--whether it will be a ferial Sunday Mass, the votive Mass traditional to the day, or some other votive Mass chosen by the priest. Only after placing the veiled chalice on the altar does the priest usually turn to announce the day's Mass before descending for the prayers at the foot of the altar.
For example, at an EF Mass today the priest announced the votive Mass of the Most Holy Trinity that is de facto for ferial Mondays. Then five missal ribbons had to be placed--one at the Canon, one at the votive Mass of the Holy Trinity, one at the Mass of Trinity Sunday where some of the day's propers were located, one at the Gospel located elsewhere, and one at the Preface of the Holy Trinity. The prayers at the foot of the altar then provided time to do this while the priest prepared himself for to approach the altar. Surely appreciated by anyone who feels he must follow attentively all the prayers and propers of the Mass in order to be properly disposed for Holy Communion. - July 9, 2012 at 1:36 PM

My daughter was married before the New Revised Missal, but had a lot of the more traditional setting where they were married first, then took communion as husband and wife, etc., although we had a lot of EMHC because the crowd we huge. All the speeches etc. we at the reception. I think many of the young people want a more traditional wedding. shallowly, it sets them apart from the beach wedding crowd, but it also speaks to the hunger they feel for spiritual things and lasting relationships. Some of their friends get married in places that are old or historical. I think they really feel special when four families get together for a ceremony that goes back about a thousand years.
- July 9, 2012 at 2:23 PM
My guess is that this has its origin in the 1961 MR effort to suppress the prayers at the foot of the altar (including the modern penitential rite) if there was a procession beforehand. cf Candlemas, Palm Sunday, etc.
Here, the "procession" is likely the bride walking up the aisle. Which is of course not even liturgical.
QUICK CLARIFICATION QUESTION: can Roman Rite priests celebrate ordinariate liturgies ad libitum? - July 9, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Ryan, to your question, the answer is no.
They may celebrate the ordinariate liturgies only if no ordinariate priest is available in some instance to minister to an ordinariate community, and presumably only if the Roman priest knows their liturgical praxis. - July 9, 2012 at 4:32 PM
Perhaps the priest or cantor could intone the first few words of the Gloria to tune people in that that is next?

You dont HAVE to be Christians to attend the midnight mass. I am Hindu and I do keep a Christmas tree at home and take my children to the midnight mass. It is festive and they love it! Religion is not mutually exclusive to each other, get out of your wells! Mon, 2011-12-26 20:50 — Anonymous
Being half British has nothing to do with being a Christian. So many Indians all over the world are Christians. Its a religion and its an individual choice. it has nothing to do with being Indian or British, whatever. I don't think Karishma is a christian. She is a hindu. Maybe she followed friends to church. Malaika and Amrita Arora's mum is a Christian and those girls are close to Lolo and Bebo..i am guessing they may have followed them to church perhaps. Its no harm to go to Midnight Mass. Many of my hindu friends follow me to church on Christmas eve. ITs pretty norm. Mon, 2011-12-26 20:09 — Anonymous

Not really a very appropriate outfit for Mass... Then what is appropriate attire for mass? Please elaborate...all I know is that she's covered up, looks dignified and respectful unlike the other celebs that also attended. Malaika, Amrita and Bips might as well be out clubbing Mon, 2011-12-26 15:05 — Anonymous
Karishma and Kareena are christian through their moms side! Kareena even mentioned they had a very british upbringing and she hardly watched Indian tv shows but rather preferred american or british shows like friends.

Karisma looks great, is wearing appropriate clothes for Midnight Mass and looks very simple and relaxed. She doesn't need to try hard to look good...Malaika and Amrita could take some serious notes, wearing leather style outfits to a mass! They are such a joke Mon, 2011-12-26 07:49 — Anonymous

Body found next to San Diego River near Fashion Valley mall
Deceased man ID'd as Robert Chesney Jr.

SAN DIEGO - The body of a South Bay man missing since last week was found Tuesday next to the San Diego River in Mission Valley.
Chula Vista police contacted their San Diego counterparts about 7:30 a.m. to request assistance in following up on a lead in the missing person case, SDPD Lt. Jorge Duran said.
About two hours later, San Diego police found the deceased man -- identified as Robert Chesney Jr. -- in a shrubbery-covered area near a riverbed homeless camp south of Fashion Valley mall.
Homicide detectives investigated the scene and found no signs that the man had been slain, according to Duran.
"That may change once the autopsy is done," the lieutenant said.
Chesney was last seen on Feb. 2 in an area near UC San Diego Medical Center.
Chula Vista police had begun looking for him around the river on Monday, suspending the search when darkness fell, Duran said.
The cause of Chesney's death is under investigation.

Dita Von Teese is on fire. And not just because shes mad hot. The famous burlesque dancer, model, and actor is launching a sexy new lingerie and perfume collection on HSN.com this April. Ever wanted to rock that classic, Betty Paige pin-up look, but hate spending hours in thrift shops? Then this line is for you!
We talked to the jet-setting glamourpuss about feeling sexy, living your dream, and the most important beauty secret of. all. time.
Cosmo: You've always been closely linked to the fashion world, as a muse, a model, and now a designer. What inspired you to start your own lingerie line, the Von Follies?
Dita: I originally started working at a lingerie store when I was 15, so my love of lingerie has always been very important to me. Its actually a big reason why I started creating burlesque shows in the first place. When I was a very young girl, fantasizing about wearing lingerie, I just loved the idea of becoming a woman and having this moment of luxury and beauty thats just for yourself.
Cosmo: Thats so cool that you worked in a lingerie store as a teen and now you have your own line. You did it!
Dita: Its pretty exciting.
Cosmo: It seems like a this new line is a natural step for you
Dita: (laughs) Yeah, theres no jeans line or anything.
Cosmo: How do you want women to feel when theyre wearing Von Follies?
Dita: Confidence is a big thing. I want to teach women that the way to becoming naturally seductive and confident is by surrounding yourself with little bits of luxury and beauty in your everyday life. I never saved my lingerie for special occasions, I always loved being able to wear my most beautiful things every day. A lot of people throughout my adult life have asked me, "What are you so dressed up for? Whats the big occasion?" And I always say, "The occasion is life! And Im happy to be living it!"
Cosmo: Do you have any tips for women about how to feel a little sexier?
Dita: The most important quality of someone who is a great seductress is someone who makes it look effortless. You never want to look like youre trying. Whether Im onstage or with a man that Im trying to seduce, the kiss of death is when you look like youre making a big effort.
Cosmo: How do we do it in our everyday lives?
Dita: I think the way to achieve casual sexiness is to practice it everyday. If you say, like, 'Oh, I really want to try that sexy 1940s wave hairstyle and red lipstick,' dont just do it on Saturday night. Practice it now, even though its Monday and youre just going to work. Whatever makes you feel seductive, you should hone it immediately and practice it everyday. Seduction is an art that goes much deeper than what you put on. Its about mystique and aura.
Cosmo: Whats the best beauty tip youve ever received?
Dita: Use sunscreen! Take care of your skin.

I'm going to add some recessed lighting in my kitchen remodel. How far from the wall should I put the recessed lights assuming I have 12" deep cabinetry/shelving and 25" countertops?
How far apart should they be spaced to light the space evenly? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I just went through it...18" from the wall...approx 3 feet apart. 18" off the back wall will wash the front of your cabinets with light as well as provide light to work with. The light will hit the counter rather than the top of your head. Good luck with your remodel. |
- Posted by sewwhatsnew (My Page) on Fri, Feb 27, 09 at 8:53
Great question, I was searching all week for that answer. Hubby has a passion for recessed lighting, we are remodeling. We decided to pull them out away from the cabinets since side to side they were not symetrical if centered above cabinets. Today we have six circles drawn that are 38 1/2 to the center, from the wall ,spaced aprx 38" lengthwise and the 48" crosswise. All 6 are symetrical. I'm considering moving them to 30" center, but he wants the room lit up and not the cabinets, will see what happens in a couple hours. I think lining up with counter edge is another option. |
- Posted by joehouston (My Page) on Fri, Feb 27, 09 at 14:31
Actually just installed 5 cans in the kitchen yesterday. On the ~13 ft section of cabinets against the wall, 3 cans about 4 ft apart and 29 inches (to center of fixture) from the back wall (26 inch counters). We've under cabinet fluorescent lighting so plenty of task area light. Two other cans pretty much centered over a sink/ snack island backing to great room. All this replaced a huge fluorescent construct in the center of the kitchen. If I were to tweak anything, I might install the cans a few inches further from the wall to improve the amount of light going into the below counter cabinets when opened. Plenty pleased with the install as is, a major change in atmosphere of the kitchen without the darn piece of furniture previously attached to the ceiling. I think a key issue for placement depends on if you have under cab lighting. If you don't, I would not install closer than the counter edge. If you do have under cab lights, further out or closer in, a matter of whether you are looking for general light or highlighting your cab faces. |
- Posted by sewwhatsnew (My Page) on Fri, Feb 27, 09 at 21:26
I hope you can learn from my mistake. I put some recessed lights too close to my upper cabinets, and I got sharp ugly shadows on my cabinets. The upper cabinets had a crown molding like the ones in the photo above, and there was a distracting shadow line across the front of the upper cabinets. I had to tear them out and fix the sheetrock, expensive and frutrating. |
freedee, How far out from your cabinet fronts or wall were your can lights installed that did not work for you? |
Freedee, I would like to know as well. How far out from your cabinet fronts or wall were your can lights installed that did not work for you? Thanks |

The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed.
The enemy of my enemy
I was kind of lukewarm about Susan Rice as the next Secretary of State -- she has high qualifications, but she'd been around for a while a now -- but that's all changed. The McCarthyism-style smearing of her -- with about as much evidence as Joe McCarthy had on that laundry list in Wheeling -- by Sen. John McCain & Co. has been one of the more disgraceful episodes in modern politics. Which is saying quite a lot when you think of it. That makes her nomination and confirmation no longer an option -- but a necessity. We'll be getting a solid cabinet member -- and putting an end to swift-boating in our time.

Saddam did use WMDs on the Kurds unless you think that biological or chemical weapons don't qualify.
Just tired of hearing this old retort. octom- CommonSense in Philly
- wokmaster
- Seemed to speak pretty authoritatively on the confusion that exists in these dogfights. As the facts come out, republicans are realizing they are looking foolish. and Susan Rice is looking smart to americans. rhodes scholar, etc. smart people are taking the country back from the republicans.
- wokmaster
- BlairW
Supporting her just because some people you have a doctrinal antipathy towards have pointed out her deficiencies?
If her disgraceful, cowardly refusal to be made a patsy by the desperate, grasping Obama cabal as they sensed an election slipping away isn't enough to cause you to even question her suitability for the job, perhaps you can do a little journalistic due dilligence, and examine her relationship to, and treatment of any number of monstrous human rights violators like Meles Zenawi, or her shameful performance during the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, where none other than Obama advisor Samantha Power asked of Rice-
"At an interagency teleconference in late April, Susan Rice, a rising star on the National Security Council (NSC) who worked under Richard Clarke, stunned a few of the officials present when she asked, "If we use the word 'genocide' and are seen as doing nothing, what will be the effect on the November [congressional] election?""
So come off it, Bunch...
Time to stop expecting people to believe you're on the side of righteousness when you reflexively side with serial failures like Susan Rice in the name of solidarity with Dear Leader Barack.
You dishonor the notion of "Journalism" with such patent hackery. Darth Bacon
That interview was a classic, Wokkie. The rightwing is taking it hard that the reality is that they aren't going to get any traction out of trying to exploit the deaths of Americans for the purpose of political expediency.
It is cute they way they just keep trying, though.
Funny how quite it has been at Attytood recently. I wonder what the reason might be?

Imaging Services
Whether you need an X-ray for a broken bone, ultrasound to catch a glimpse of your unborn baby, or a routine mammogram, Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center's Imaging Center has the equipment and experienced staff to get it done quickly and accurately -- while making your visit as comfortable as possible.
We're state-of-the-art -- and digital.
What do you need? We offer a full range of equipment and diagnostic procedures, including a 64-slice CT scanner, an MRI with breast and cardiac capabilities, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, interventional radiology, fluoroscopy, and PET/CT. We also have a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS), which lets us share your diagnostic images with other medical facilities so you don't have to carry them to every physician you see.
All of our equipment is digital. For example, when you get an X-ray, you don't need to wait for the film -- your image will be up on the screen within seconds. The faster our imaging services are, the faster you can be back with your loved ones.
Your comfort is our priority.
If you've ever had an MRI, you know how claustrophobic you can feel inside the closed magnet. Not in our MRI machine -- it has a long opening on either side so you feel more like you're in a tanning bed than an MRI machine.
In our Women's Imaging Center's mammogram area, we foster a spa-like atmosphere with a fountain and soothing nature sounds. And for your mammogram we use a Mammopad, which is a pad that goes on the bottom plate to soften the compression you'll feel as we perform the procedure.
Special care for women.
Our Women's Imaging Center offers a full complement of imaging services for women, including:
- Digital mammography
- Ultrasound
- Coordination with hospital radiology for breast MRI
Not only do we have a spa-like environment and Mammopad to make your mammogram more comfortable -- if a possible cancer shows up on the mammogram, our Diagnostic Nurse Navigator, AnnMarie Simmons, will be your coach and care coordinator as you go through further tests, and potentially treatment. She'll answer all your questions and help you through the process of being diagnosed and getting well.

Hi guys. I'm heading out later for a friends birthday and we are all going for a meal at a Chinese !!. Any ideas on what I could have
Hi guys. I'm heading out later for a friends birthday and we are all going for a meal at a Chinese !!. Any ideas on what I could have
Biff xxx
The crab soup.
That's what I'd have, and nothing else. You could easily make that last a good while.
Lost 4 stone in 4 months on Exante in 2010/11 following the birth of my son. Successfully maintained until I got pregnant again in Jan 2012. Had my daughter in Sept 2012 and have 3.5 stone to lose... here we go again!
*Start weight 13st4lbs* *Goal weight 9st8lbs*
Wks 1 to 12 = 10st6lbs (-40lbs)
Wk 13: 09/03/13 = 10st5lbs (-1lb)
Wk 14: 16/03/13 = 10st (-5lbs)
Wk 15: 23/03/13 = 9st11lbs (-3lbs)
Wk 16: 30/03/13 = 9st10lbs (-1lb)
Wk 17: 06/04/13 =
Depends on what they have, but here are some ideas!
Stir fry without the sauce (black bean sauce is usually low carb, but you never know, do you?)
You could ask for steamed veg & meat, no sauce
Egg Foo Yung, no sauce
Any clear, veggie or meat based soups
Maybe seafood, too (no sauce! )?
Ooh and if you can't find anything just say "Can you make this without sugar, starch, etc" and they should.
Be 16.7st By End Of March (Holiday!)
Be 15.7st By End Of April
Be 14.7st By End Of May
Be 13.7st By End Of Jun (Summer!)
Be 12.7st By End Of July
Be 11.7st By End Of August
Be 10.7st By End Of September (B'day!)
Your probably been already but I'll post in case anyone searches and finds this later with the same question.
Yesterday I went out with my sister and two pieces who decided at the last minute to have Chinese for lunch and couldn't be persuaded otherwise. It was a buffet and they wouldn't allow me to just buy a drink, I hadn't had any breakfast or lunch so just had it and was sensible.
My thoughts were avoid carbs - no rice, chips or noodles. No starters like pawn toast or spring rolls because of carbs or ribs cos of high calories. Avoid things you know will be particularly high in sugar like sweet and sour sauces.
Here is what I had...
A little yung foo (egg omelette), one chicken wing, steamed beansprouts, crispy duck and pork (dry no sauce); a little chicken curry and a little pork in plum sauce. I also had a plain chicken stay skewer and just didn't put the satay sauce on it.
After that I felt very full and satisfied. No pudding! This morning there's been no gain, I actually weigh a little less than yesterday morning.
New Year... New Start - onwards and downwards (My Diary)
For anyone that might want to sponsor me on the 12 mile sponsored Walk for Kids here's my sponsorship page
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.
We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Lost just under 3 stone on various diets in 2011-2012.
Restarting Slim and Save Jan 2013 to lose the rest!

Uni maths boffins to help bees
2:16pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
MATHEMATICIANS from Essex University are hoping to help bees make honey.
A team hopes to make a model which finds the best places to put hives on a piece of land to make sure they pollinate trees.
Increasing pollination rates is seen as crucial as bee colonies have declined significantly in recent years, but one in three mouthfuls of food we eat is dependent on pollination, according to the British Beekeepers Association.

Umberto's PizzariaReally Good Pizza. Great surprise near my new house in midtown tulsa. We were really tired and hungry from moving, so i called up this place and asked for the largest pizza they had. The price was $24 for my pizza which had lots of toppings, and it was a huge 22 inch pie. Absolutely delicious pizza and I will be happy to frequent this place often.
Kickass (and inexpensive) pizza!!!.
A friend told me about Umberto's Pizza. I ordered delivery a couple months ago... I exclusively order ONLY Umberto's from home now. I love their no-nonsense way of taking delivery orders. BTW, I don't recall EVER being put on hold... no stupid computer searches for where I live... NO HASSLE! NO CALLING CENTER!
Pick up your phone and dial 712-1999 right now. This pizza is better than Hideaway and Joe Momma's - and they DELIVER!!! Affordable... great pizza... yes - the garlic knots are a must-order.
Do it... order Umberto's... support a great local biz... Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and Mazzio's can suckit!
The only "con" is that they aren't online... so no looking at a menu. I'm sure they'll accomodate whatever you want, though. I've never had them say "we don't have that." (I mean, really... it's pizza, right?)
712-1999 - Best Pizza in T-Town!!
And, NO, I don't work for them. ;-)
I'm just a highly appreciative and satisfied customer.
Best Pizza and Worth the Crowd. In a world of chain pizza "parlors," Umberto's is a true haven for pizza pie lovers. The tiny restaurant will only hold a handful of customers, but the crowded scene only adds to the allure of the restaurant. The building is well kept, though in a small somewhat older area, and the staff is numerous and helpful. I have only visited once but that will definitely not be the last time I pick up pizza from Umberto's. The only disappointment: I didn't have a friendly, chubby Italian Zio Umberto to greet me!
A piece of New York in T Town. When you step inside this tiny pizza parlor, you instantly forget you are in Tulsa. The smells, sounds, everything make you think you are inside an authenic New York pizzeria. The food is always excellent. The service is great. They even know your name and what your favorite slice is after just a few visits. I don't want anyone to know about this treasure because I want to keep it all to myself but I can't pay all their bills so I'll share.
Best Pizza In Tulsa. Umbertos is the only true New York Style Pizza in Tulsa! Their Garlic Knots are incredibly delicious and the pizza is absolutely top quality. Every ingredient is fresh. The Calzones are excellent as well. Highly Recommended.

A Fashionable Friday
Aug 5, 2011
I have a bunch of thrift store makeovers to share, but not the typical type, nope! Instead of entering Goodwill and heading straight for the furniture section, today we are going to walk a few paces and hang a hard left, where we will find ourselves in ... women's wear?! The land of denim jumpers and teddy bear sweatshirts and oversize polyester jumpsuits? Oh yeah. Get excited. And say hello to Sara from Brand New Vintage, who has never met a second-hand jumpsuit she didn't like. Eventually.
Check out some of her amazing finds below, and give it up for her mad sewing skillz. Behold:
Oversize jumpsuit! You were such a nerd back in high school! You uh, want to get together later?

Vehicle Details: The 2012 Ford Focus
Dealer Specials
Looking to Save?
Check here for Dealer Specials.
The Focus has built a reputation of high quality and driving pleasure. The 2012 Ford Focus has once again raised the bar and reinvigorated the compact segment.
Available as either a five-door hatchback or four-door sedan in S (sedan only), SE, SEL and Titanium trim levels, the Focus is a highly-styled, technologically-advanced car with exceptional quality. The 2012 Ford Focus is equipped more like a European luxury car than the affordable compact it is.
The strikingly styled bodywork is penned with Ford's Kinetic Design philosophy and looks sporty and distinctive. A low .295 coefficient of drag keeps wind noise low and reduces fuel consumption. Ford expects the Focus will achieve up to a 40 mpg highway rating, aided by the slippery shape and high technology it's built around. Active grille shutters that close off airflow and reduce drag when airflow through the cooling system is not needed pulls down temperatures underhood at low speeds. Thermal efficiency is the name of the fuel-sipping game, and the active shutters are part of boosting the 2012 Fusion's performance.
Structural rigidity is up 30 percent over the old Focus, and a new Control Blade rear suspension and semi-isolated front subframe deliver refinement and poise. An important factor to car buyers is how fun a vehicle is to drive, and the 2012 Focus achieves this with outstanding tuning and a Torque Vectoring Control® system that transfers power between the drive wheels in much the same way as a limited-slip differential would. This reduces understeer and makes the Focus aggressively devour corners by subtly braking the inside front wheel to send more torque to the outside front wheel, rotating the front end through corners far more effectively. It's a detail that doesn't make itself obvious, much the same as Ford's Electric Power-Assisted Steering System - it goes about the business of delivering the exact amount of boost and road feel while also counteracting the effects of crowned roads while it simultaneously increases fuel economy by only working when it's required. These are systems not commonly found in vehicles in this price segment.
A chassis without a powertrain that can equal its prowess makes a lackluster automobile, so Ford has equipped the 2012 Focus with a 2.0-liter direct-injection four cylinder with dual overhead cams controlled by Ti-VCT variable timing to deliver both performance and efficiency. A high 12:1 compression ratio is made possible by direct injection, and yet, the 160 hp and 146 lb/ft of torque is generated without the need for Premium fuel. Focus S and SE trim levels offer a five-speed manual transmission as standard equipment, and the six-speed PowerShift automatic transmission is optional for the SE and comes standard with SelectShift manual control for SEL and Titanium trims. The PowerShift transmission is a cutting-edge transmission that uses an automated clutch to deliver seamless shifts and excellent fuel economy without trading responsiveness.
The Focus S sedan carries a $16,270 MSRP with the five-door starting at $18,065. The standard audio system is MP3 capable and carries an auxiliary input, and the climate system included an air filtration system and remote keyless entry as well. Side mirrors with integrated blind-spot mirrors with power adjustment are also part of the standard equipment list. Focus SE models pick up 16-inch wheels and, more important, Ford's revolutionary MyKey system. MyKey allows parents to set vehicle maximum speed, audio system maximum volume and other parameters that help to keep young drivers focused on the road ahead.
In SEL trim, the six-speed PowerShift transmission is standard, as is Ford's much-admired SYNC system with voice-activated communications and entertainment functions. At the top of the Focus ladder, the Focus Titanium is equipped with MyFord Touch, which uses multifunction controls on the steering wheel spokes and offers deep functionality for information and smartphone integration. The Titanium's suspension is retuned for sporty reflexes as well. Pushbutton start with Intelligent Access makes key fumbling a thing of the past and a 10 speaker Sony audio system, HD Radio and SIRIUS Satellite Radio ensure the audiophile's requirements are met. Heated leather seating is available, as well as a Parking Technology Package, which helps parallel park the car by itself with minimal driver input.
All 2012 Focus models feature AdvanceTrac electronic stability control and SafetyCanopy side curtain airbags. Dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags and safety belt pretensioners are also included in the standard Focus safety arsenal.
With the 2012 Ford Focus, the state of the art is once again advanced by a compact car wearing a blue oval.
