Fabulous ConServ Fridge Not Replaced Yet!
This just in from Guido:
Thought I'd share my fridge research to the AT site . . .
I'm not so sure the fabulously tall and slim ConServ is being replaced by the Summit CP171 . . . the Summit looks the same, but is a dual compressor system that doesn't qualify for EnergyStar and so must not be the model of greendom that the Conserv is supposed to be.
I emailed the linked distributor (Comfort House) They said it's on backorder until September, and that the maker says it is not discontinued.
Guess I'll find out in September...I need a slim fridge that's not a cheap piece of crap, and not a custom Subzero! Guido

Liebherr is less $ than SubZero and a 24x24 footprint.
FYI - I actually got an that's only 23 3/8ths inches wide - just installed last week - It was recommended by a friend who bought it as well, and loved it. The one I bought was in "titanium" (i.e. stainless steel appearance) rather than the white one that I linked - for some reason I can only find the white one online right now. It was significantly cheaper than either the sub-zero or liebherr that I looked at that were the same width (actually, I bought it at PC Richard along with an 18" dishwasher and a 24" stove and they knocked a couple hundred bucks off of the entire package - after they were already the least expensive store by far).
For some reason my link didn't show up. here it is in all of its technical glory. I bought an LG LRBP1031 - http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/LRBP1031W.html?mv_pc=dt
Here it is in titanium:
The Summit web site says it is for "commercial use only" because it requires too much power for domestic use. That suggests that not only is it no longer "green," it is no longer legal to have in apartments.
I was interested in buying one, and had even designed an entire kitchen around it. However, I've abandoned the idea. Also, customers on epinions.com report serious problems with basic operation. I've been scared off.
I live in San Francisco (small apartments also!) and bought one 3 years ago. I love it. I've never had any problems with it, even though mine was advertised as for "commercial use only".
ACK . . . I'm holding out for another month to see if I can get the Conserv. But I can research the Liebherr in the meantime...anyone have it?
I think Conserv is a step up from the LG, which I looked at at PC Richards....it's great that they're at least making city-sized fridges, and finally a metal finish is part of the standards! The merits of these are debated on the earlier Conserv thread here on AT.
For me a huge factor is that the LG is only 67 3/8" tall, while the Conserv is 79", so you get a little more storage, and sexier proportion. The freezer is a larger % of the total space.
I have the Liebherr catalog but it doesn't include pricing. One of the few places in NYC that seems to offer them is the Krups store near Union Square but I don't know if they actually have one on display. It's a beautiful fridge/freezer. I just wish the freezer part was larger, like on the Conserv.
Hey All! I'm going through the obsessive fridge search, too! I'm just trying to find a store that actually has the Conserv so I can see and palpate it, since I'll probably buy one off the brooklyn guy lauded in the earlier discussion regarding the Equator Conserv. He delivers.
Here's what I've been able to glean so far: I am told that the Conserv is carried by both the Summit and Equator line, however I tend to disbelieve since the summit website didn't have the exact specs that the conserv has (ie, 79 1/2" high, etc.) But Equator is a company that has appliances made for them and slaps their name on it, as is Summit. LG is a Korean company and is in a frenzied race to rule the world, apparently, since they make every goddammed thing out there. Check out an incredibly informative and amusing site called: www.applianceadvisor.com (or google it if that's not quite the wording). There you will find very detailed meticulous explication of brands and products by people who take their work very seriously but stop short of taking themselves too seriously. They have a long spec sheet that details every company's origin, country of business and who they are owned by or have bought out. This is very enlightening information since it will deliniate all of the different models out there when you reliaze that there is a lot of repition out there by a mother brand just trying to cash in on brand loyalty.
Krups on 18th st has the Liebher. It's not as narrow, nor high, and is much pricier. It is German, however, I think. Blum and Krup used to have the Conserv model on display but are out now.
Onwards and forwards, my search continues, aided enormously by all the information supplied in these forums. Thank You! Apt therapy rocks!!
Krups was actually the first place I went to look at appliances (my parents also did a reno recently, and bought all of their new stuff there). I generally found a massive desire to upsell, including charging over $150 more for the exact same GE monogram dishwasher than either Home Depot or PC Richard. They did show me both the Liebherr and a Summit (if I recall correctly, the Summit was NOT frost free - which, if I'm going to spend over $1K on a refrigerator, I'd better not have to defrost it!).
Guido - you're right - the LG is not as tall as the other two, but given the size of my kitchen (the entire kitchen, without any stuff in it, is 35 square feet. and it's a square, separate room, before I started renovations, there was actually no counterspace at all), I'm using the space above the fridge to put my microwave.
hey olga - email me if you find the conserv on display anywhere . . . the brooklyn guys are saying it's the summit . . . for now
14th St, no
Gringer's on 2nd Ave LES, no
This only makes things more confusing. I was thinking about replacing my frig this spring and was surprised that the annual cost of operation on most of the smaller refrigerators--including the Conserv--were very similar. Not exactly sure why the Conserv is considered to be such a green machine--it looks to me the smaller size of the frig is the biggest factor in conserving energy. Looks? That's another story altogether. It sure has an appealing form factor.
I too did the obsessive fridge research a few months back. I saw the Liebherr at Krups and immediately fell in love--it is absolutely gorgeous. But there was no way I could justify spending most of my kitchen budget on the fridge alone. Long story short, I ended up with the Summit (because I couldn't find the Equator ConServ anywhere in stock) and have been quite happy with my purchase so far. Funny thing, the Summit version also says "ConServ" on the top and I haven't been able to verify its energy usage since the electric bills have been hitting the roof this summer. The freezer is indeed NOT frost-free but the build-up has been minimal, especially given that we constantly open the freezer for ice cubes.
The auto-defrost option takes AWAY from it's energy-efficiency. So that is why the conserv is manual defrost-only. Once the freezer starts to accumulate ice build-up, the energy-efficiency goes down, too. Yeesh. No biggie defrosting, though, especially if you're a one or two-person household without kids constantly opening the freezer doors. It doesn't need to occur often. I saw a post by some guy off the grid with one of these summit or SunFrost models running off of solar who hasn't needed to defrost in 2 years yet.
The conserv is designed by a scandinavian designer who designs high-end sound systems. Refer to the other, highly-detailed post re: Equator ConServ fridge (stick that into the search engine).
The Conserv, thus, has been designed to optimize everything and that is why we covet it. I think. It has dual compressors, if I'm not mistaken, so the fridge and freezer parts work independently. Something that Subzero offers at a much higher mark-up.
Ditto, Guido. I don't know where to look anymore, short of calling up the Coney Island guy and asking him where his stash is.
I have one -- FOR SALE. We are in the market for a family-sized fridge, and our ConServ is up for grabs. It's been in use for less than a year, and came with our brand new kitchen when we bought the apartment. Make an offer!
I bought my sexy ConServ last year on-line after being told it was discontinued. I just love it and haven't had any problems....haven't had to defrost yet. Wish I had known about this website then.
Actually, I've been doing a lot of research and it seems like the Summit one is indeed the same fridge. I emailed Summit and they confirmed that it's manufactured by Vestfrost, the same company that makes the Equator branded ConServ.
According to Equator's site and other sites, the ConServ also has dual compressors. The only reason why it's not qualified for residential use is that it doesn't have Auto-Defrost on the freezer (which doesn't make sense because that actually uses more energy to have that feature.) Neither the ConServ nor the Summit is EnergyStar qualified, but they both indeed use less energy than conventional fridges.
Here's a site with lots of good info:
The Summit CP171 and the Equator 375 might look the same. But in its specs, the Equator says it runs on 1.8 amps. And even though I could not find any written reference for the consumption of the Summit , I called Summit directly and one person said it takes 4 amps while another one said 5 amps. They claimed they do not know what the actual consumption might be, which is hard to believe. The consumption should be measured in kwh per year. The amperage usage does not necessarily mean much since one does not know how often the machine is runing, something related to how well insulated the fridge might be, among other factors.
So if anybody out there has numbers on the actual consumption of the Summit in kwh/year under typical conditions, it would be greatly appreciated.
after all the hubbub about THE FRIDGE last year, both guido and i purchased them, respectively, i through Drimmers. It is the same fridge, manufacured by Vestfrost. Equator is a distributor on the west coast and not doing a good job servicing here in the east, so hence the disapearance of the Conserve, methinks. Summit distributes from the Bronx.
I can't tell you the amperege, yet, it is something I'm trying to figure out too. But my electric bill from one month of not running a fridge and not living in the apt to a month of running the fridge and living in the apt and running radio, lights, gadgets, etc. went from $25 to $33, so ... not exactly a huge change.
It is an interesting thing though because it is quite sensitive to environmental/apt temp such as high humidity and I'm still playing with the temp setting inside to avoid the condensation inside fromfreezing against the back wall. But I may not have it perfectly levelled and the summit website says in high humididty it is common for more condensation to form inside.
It is a beauty and everyone remarks on it, wondering what the hell type of spacepod it is at first.
Does anyone know how much juice the LG LRBP1031T uses?
I am thinking about this one, but if its a power hog, I will disregard.
Any update on the search for a good narrow refrigerator? I couldn't figure out what olga and guido bought. Is ConServe actually available? Anyone see/try the Mitsubishi Twin: 60 cm x 60 cm (23.6 inches x 23.6) height still unknown.
I have a Summit CP-171 unit and every hour or less it makes a loud knocking noise. I have been told that this is "normal" for the unit and it is just refrigerant (whatever that means). The noise is not from the compressors, they are surprisingly quiet.
I just want to confirm with other owners of this refrigerator that they are/aren't having this problem. Summit Appliance has been a nightmare to deal with.
Does ANYONE know if the Equator Conserv will ever be available again? I just put in an order for a Summit, but I know it's not the same thing. It's definitely not energy efficient, and it doesn't appear to come with the drawers and wine rack you get with the Conserv. When you call Summit, they claim not to know what the energy rating is, which is absurd. Waah.
FYI, anyone looking for energy use comparisons can look on the Energy Star website (www.energystar.gov) -- they have an easy-to-read apples-to-apples chart there. And if the fridge isn't Energy Star, it's not worth buying, because it ain't efficient.
Now that people here have had their 24" fridge for a few years, who will describe the biggest noises it makes?
Equator ConServ, Summit CP-171 or Vestfrost 375
Liebherr 24"
Fagor 24"
One person told me sometimes he can hear a small click of a solenoid right before the compressor starts, but it's quiet enough that most the time he doesn't notice when it's running even if he's in the kitchen. He has the first one above.
I bought the Liebherr 24" 2 years ago for $3100 CAD. I choose it because we have an open concept kitchen, dinning and living area and didn't want a big ugly fridge. To my understanding their is no compressor because their is such noise but their is a slight noise from the water dripping from what I think is the automatic defrosting; you have to listen carefully to hear it.
My 2 year old vestfrost's freezer is biting the dust. I'm not sure how posting comments in AT works now, but is anyone else having any issues? Also, what's the latest recommended 24" fridge (having spent $1200 on the vestfrost, I'd sure like to not spend that again.)

The idea of an absence: 'Silence' at Berkeley Art Museum
The works in the exhibition Silence, which opens today at the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, span a century of artistic practice and explore the question of silence, and whether this intangible can be represented.
Silence is, by definition, uncommunicative and peaceful. It is also mysterious, threatening, meditative and explosive. It is simultaneously a state of quiet and a deafening absence of noise. This conundrum is addressed by the multidisciplinary works in the galleries and in film and video programs that have dispensed with representational imagery to depict the idea of an absence. … Continue reading »
Josh Kornbluth: Good for Andy Warhol's Jews?
It would be tough to find a funnier guy in Berkeley than Josh Kornbluth.
I've been a fan of the moon-faced, wide-eyed, hair-challenged monologist, who has perfected the art of the raised eyebrow for maximum comic effect, since his early days at The Marsh in San Francisco. (An aside: This ex-citysider is so glad The Marsh had no problem crossing the bridge, unlike some people she knows.)
Kornbluth has made a career out of chronicling much of his life on the stage in his frequently hilarious and often thought-provoking solo shows. We first meet him during his childhood in Manhattan's Washington Heights neighborhood, where he is raised by Marxist, atheists (Red Diaper Baby). Then it's on to college (The Mathematics of Change), temp work (Haiku Tunnel) and a stint as an editor (Pumping Copy), a personal favorite. Berkeleysiders familiar with his work may recall that the city features prominently in the recent Citizen Josh.
Now, Kornbluth is in the middle of a run of his latest production Andy Warhol: Good For The Jews? His first commissioned show, The Contemporary Jewish Museum of San Francisco asked him to ruminate on the series of portraits depicting the likes of Einstein, Kafka, and the Marx Brothers by the iconic artist.
It's his fourth collaboration with director David Dower, who joined forces with the writer-comedian on Ben Franklin: Unplugged, Love & Taxes, and Citizen Josh. The two have also worked on film versions of Haiku Tunnel and Red Diaper Baby. … Continue reading »

Blue color of this hat photographed accurately. The knit is thick, so it's very warm. It's a bit stiff when you first get it, but it breaks in well after just a couple of times wearing it. Fit is perfect -- not too tight and stays on in windy conditions!Pros: Great design

True North Sports and Entertainment has named Claude Noel as Winnipeg's new head coach. He will take over for Craig Ramsay, who coached the Thrashers for one season prior to the team's relocation. A press conference was held on Friday morning to introduce Noel as the sixth head coach in franchise history.
It is also being reported that the new team will be called the Winnipeg Jets.
"We have a great opportunity ahead of us," said Noel. "I really look forward to building a good tight team that's going to play hard and play for each other."
A native of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Noel has spent the vast majority of his coaching career in the minor leagues. His most notable accomplishment came in 2003 when he won the Calder Cup with the Milwaukee Admirals. He coached the Manitoba Moose last season, leading them to a 43-40-1-6 record and a playoff berth. Noel's NHL experience includes three seasons as an assistant for the Blue Jackets and a short 24 game stint as Columbus' interim head coach in 2010.
"Claude is someone that can teach, bring players together as a group, make the sum better than the whole of their parts," said GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.
Noel's experience developing players in the minor leagues should come in handy with Winnipeg's plethora of young talent. Players such as Zach Bogosian, Evander Kane, and Alexander Burmistrov have the chance to turn into blue chip hockey players with proper development.
Mark Chipman–the chairman of Winnipeg's ownership group–has a strong personal relationship with Noel and virtually everyone he's hired thus far. He fired Rick Dudley (an experienced GM with a strong reputation) to make room for Cheveldayoff, a man Chipman considers a close friend. New assistant GM Craig Heisinger and Noel worked for True North with the Manitoba Moose.
Sensing a trend?
"The type of culture you try to build is one where people feel like they're part of a family," Chipman said several weeks ago.
He makes a good point. Relationships are important in any business, but at what juncture does loyalty become a bad thing?
Supporters of this move will cite Noel's achievements in the AHL as reason enough to give him a chance with the Jets. While his accomplishments cannot go without notice, minor league success does not always translate well in the National Hockey League. John Anderson coached this franchise for a short time in Atlanta, having won four championships with the Chicago Wolves before accepting the role as head coach of the Thrashers. Despite his previous success, he failed in Atlanta and was fired after two mediocre seasons.
On the contrary, lots of coaches have risen from the minor league ranks and succeeded in the NHL–Bruce Boudreau, Alain Vignault, Dan Byslma, and Randy Carlyle are a few.
Noel might flourish in Winnipeg, but hindsight is 20/20. The fact of the matter is True North didn't hire the coach that would do the best job behind the bench; they hired the coach that they have the best relationship with.
The Jets 2.0 have set themselves up with inexperienced management and an inexperienced head coach to accompany a very young roster. Winnipeg has a great opportunity to build a successful hockey club, but if the team goes downhill during the next few seasons, the blame will have to rise straight to the top.

We have been following the development of the all-new Volvo XC90 for quite some time. Last year we brought spy shots of the 2015 Volvo XC90 mule, and now we have a true pre-production model.
It may be covered in heavy camouflage but one look at the rear lights and it's immediately obvious this is a Volvo . This prototype looks to be sized similarly to the previous car, and will include room for seven passengers.
The 2015 XC90 will be built on Volvo's new Scalable Product Architecture platform. The SPA platform has been designed to be extremely safe and employs a massive amount of ultra-high-strength steel in the main safety shell of the vehicle. The 2015 XC90 will be the first model to utilize the new platform, but it will become the core of every product Volvo sells from the S60 up.
Thanks to the SPA construction, Volvo expects the 2015 XC90 to be the safest SUV ever sold to the public.
Volvo is expected to drop all the engines in the current-gen XC90 in favor of more fuel-efficient, four-cylinder powertrains. All the engines will be turbocharged, and Volvo is developing both gasoline and diesel engines. No word on if the oil-burner will hit U.S. shores.
We are not entirely sure if American buyers will responsive to a three-row SUV without at least a six-cylinder engine, but only time will tell.
Expect the new Volvo XC90 to be put on sale in early 2015.

Flying French fries and other items filled the air Thursday afternoon after a couple hundred Granite School District junior high students decided to launch a spontaneous all-out food fight.
Ultimately, the West Valley City police were called to help restore order.
Granite School District spokesman Ben Horsley said the incident started about 12:30 p.m. at West Lake Junior High School when two youths got into a physical altercation. For unknown reasons, it escalated into a larger food fight, he said.
"The other kids just decided to get involved," Horsley said, noting that the end of the school year is typically when students start exhibiting "a little more wild behavior."
He said about 600 students were in the cafeteria at the time, and that a couple hundred of those students decided to throw food.
"To be honest, I don't know what was on the menu today," he said, in answer to a question.
The school was briefly locked down while police restored order.
No one was injured, and school officials continued to investigate possible discipline.

Los Gatos Creek Dog Park
Innovative turf makes debut at Los Gatos Creek dog park
By Judy Peterson | Los Gatos Weekly-Times
They're baaack!
"They" are dogs, large and small, that are once again frolicking at the Los Gatos Creek County Dog Park. The park reopened Dec. 20 and sports new turf known as K9Grass.
Los Gatos resident Jeff Hudson was one of the first to bring his pooch out to play. "I'm thrilled," he said. "He loves it. He goes nuts. I just let him run wild. "The socialization is great," said Hudson, who has an 11-month-old yellow lab named Jasper. "There's quite a good crowd that comes in." A mixed Australian cattle dog named Kevin was in the crowd that Jasper was busy playing with. "It's a lot better than a walk can be," Kevin's owner and Campbell resident Nick Leeburg said. "He gets most of his exercise here."
The off-leash dog park is near the fly-casting pond off Hacienda and Dell avenues in Campbell. The 1-acre site is actually split into two parks — one for small dogs and another for the big guys. They are fenced in and have pooper-scooper stations and dog-friendly water fountains. The park opened in December 2006, but it was never a hit with dog owners because Fido and friends tore up the real grass. Plus, when it rained it turned into a muddy patch. "I used to drive by and there was nobody here because of the dirt," Campbell resident Janine Payton said. "Now this whole park is full of ADD," she joked. "This is great. I might put a patch of it in my back yard."
The new K9Grass was designed especially for dogs by ForeverLawn, which is based in Albuquerque, N.M. ForeverLawn says the grass drains well and can withstand wear and tear. It also has a knitted structure that helps wick away urine and odors. Kim Daly of Los Gatos was impressed with the state-of-the-art park. "It looks very nice."

"Dude youz gotz poopz on your balls again"
Ahhh Father's Day, a day where hundreds of people on my Facebook lovingly and proudly proclaim that their father, not yours or anyone else's, is the MOST HARDWORKING AND LOVING MAN THEY KNOW. Then tomorrow they go back to sending Candy Crush requests. Anyway…
Now that I've been a Dad for good (long) 6 weeks, I thought I could muster up a few random observations on how I know life is different now. At least I'll try to fit some writing in here while Cameron naps and as I contemplate having my third bowl of Golden Grahams. Did I say Golden Grahams? I have a child now, these are the cheap Essential Everyday brand Honey Graham Crunch from Jewel. Gotta cut costs somewhere.
So some random funny things to share from the last month of fatherhood:
- I got a Home Depot gift card from my in-laws for Father's Day and I truly was like "Sweet, I'm going to use this".
- I sprayed the door hinges in our bedroom with WD40 to eliminate the creaky noises. Believe me, when Cameron is sleeping and we open the doors, to us it sounded like a firework show.
- I mainly manage my fantasy baseball team between 2-3am after Cameron's first nightly wake up.
- If I encountered breastfeeding a year ago: "Heehee a boobie". Now: "You go girl! Breast is best!"
- On multiple occasions I have used my bare hand to block a stream of urine from hitting me.
- I cherish moments between Cam and I during middle of the night diaper changes where I can whisper to him "Dude youz gotz poopz on your balls again"
- Four straight hours of sleep now feels like the equivalent of sleeping in until noon in college. Incredibly Cameron slept 8 straight hours last night, the longest stretch of his lil' life. I am still tired right now and I've had a venti Americano.
(Blogger's note: I'm now literally typing this with one hand while holding Cam in my other arm)
- I am proud my immature self is now unfazed by speaking about nipple shields, breast pumps and nursing pads.
- I do feel bad for working fathers of past generations. Thanks to texts and snapchat I do get see my son a lot during the workday. Makes me feel like I'm not missing out too much.
Time to head out for some Father's Day festivities. Happy Father's Day to you GOOD Dad's out there. Enjoy some #babylamorte to end the post:
"Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down"
These past nine months felt so long yet it does feel like just yesterday that Ashley & I were in Memphis, revealing to my brother & close friends why Ashley could in fact NOT participate in the round of shots I had just bought for us on the top floor patio of Alfred's bar overlooking Beale St. The announcement may have been a bit premature, as the news to us was only 3 days old but you can't really hide not participating in drinking activities for a weekend in Memphis. I was exhausted just sneaking in sips of Ashley's beer behind everyone's back for the 20 minutes we walked around before going up to the bar. So the sooner we revealed the better. So not how you imagine the very first people to know finding out but makes for a cool lil' story.
Ashley and I didn't plan it that way. Now, I'm not saying at all what we have here is an OOPS. Absolutely not. You know the phrase "Are we ready?" gets thrown around a lot when you start discussing having kids. Well, no. Who is? This would be our first child, I don't know what to expect, how would I know if I'm ready? Does anyone ever really just wake up one day and say "welp, I'm satisfied with all I've done in life so far, let's have a baby"? But we did know it's something we wanted. We wanted to have that experience, wanted to know what that kind of love that only a parent knows felt like, wanted to be able to watch a lil' being WE created grow, learn and love. So, were we ready? No. But this is what we wanted.
Subconsciously after Ashley & I got married I think we started laying the groundwork. We crammed a lot of "you can't really do this often when you have kids" traveling in the past 2.5 years. San Diego, Nashville, Paris, Rome, Memphis, Disney World. As my friend John calls it, we were living the "DINK" life. Double Income No Kids. It was a nice run. So by summer 2013, in an unspoken way, took the measures to ensure a pregnancy could happen naturally if it were meant to be. I'll spare you the other details but it didn't take long. By the end of August, nature had prevailed.
I realize now 9 months is a long time. You have cliche pregnancy things to help you along the way. We had ultrasounds, gender reveal pics, pregnancy pics and baby showers. And 1,537 people tell us to "sleep now". *eye roll* But it's a whole lot of waiting. What all the time did do, which maybe nature stretches it out 9 months to be this way, was bring Ashley and I even closer. When you see your spouse going through all these changes and stay so positive and happy, it gave me a whole new kind of admiration for her. I probably got lucky though, Ashley's pregnancy didn't fall in the norm. We ate healthy and worked out but certainly didn't complain when a pancake or ice cream craving hit. She really felt great throughout most of it and bonus for me, her mood was too. No stereotypical psycho bitch pregnant woman here. Yay. (Blogger's note: she did have her moments and re-reading this it comes across as a tad bit ass-kissing but really for what? I already married & impregnated her, what good does it do me?) But because of all that it was kind of hard to tell when our little bundle of joy would be here. From what you hear the woman starts feeling really uncomfortable, looking worse as the end nears. But if you know Ashley, you know when she hit 9 months there's a good chance she probably ran 4 miles that day too. Doctor appointments didn't shed any light either. The first due date they gave us months ago was May 3rd. Then it was April 29th. Then it was April 30th. At one point her doctor told her she was "measuring" two weeks early. So to make it easy on ourselves once mid-April hit when people would ask when she's due, I'd say "any day now".
April 29th passed. Nothing. April 30th passed. Nothing. May 1st. Maybe something. She think she's "leaking". (TMI? Perhaps, but it's my blog, you don't have to read it). Her doctor tells her to come in right away. They check her out, it's not amniotic fluid, you're good, go home. Sigh. She feels normal. So we start brainstorming what he could be waiting for. We use this as an excuse to eat. Maybe he's waiting for waffles Ashley says. Ok, we go get waffles. (Blogger's note: I got a bacon waffle, was awesome) May 2nd arrives. Ashley has been dying for some Home Cut Donuts and grabs a dozen for school. She stops herself after two. No instantaneous contractions from the donuts. We get home that night and take Dexter for a walk around the block. Ashley notes she feels a sharp pain for a second or two in her pelvis. We don't think much of it. We go home and get ready to go to the gym (Friday night, big plans). Ashley starts having some back pain. Like all of a sudden, doubled over back pain. It goes away. It comes back. It goes away. It comes back. We always read contractions start slowly and get worse and usually the stomach hardens during them. So we weren't sure what to think but something was brewing. We started timing them and it was all over the place. 2, 3, 4 and 6 minutes apart. We headed to Silver Cross at 8pm that night. More waiting. Waiting for a room, waiting for the nurse to come in and poor poor Ashley…waiting until she could get some pain meds. Her contractions (confirmed at this point) were getting worse and consistently 5 minutes apart. So it was too much WTF-ness when the nurse told Ashley, you're only dilated 1.5 CM, blaming it on false labor and telling her they're sending her home. Ashley literally couldn't move or speak every 5 minutes and they wanted to send us home?? Ashley thankfully voiced her concerns and pointed out the consistency of her contractions the last 4 HOURS. The nurse said she would speak to the doctor. We wait. More pain and no meds for Ashley. Finally the nurse comes in and says "ok the doctor said you could stay and she'll break your water". Well that escalated quickly.
We continue a common theme here. Waiting. At this point it's well past midnight and Ashley can't take much more. The nurse finally was able to give her some meds that dulled the pain a bit. They dulled the pain and got Ashley buzzed a bit as I remember her saying out of nowhere "the chocolate chips seemed so real". I was actually jealous of her for a split second. Anyway, problem with that medicine was it wore off after about two hours for Ashley and you have to wait 4 hours after taking it for more. I think she was at 3 CM at this point. Oh joy. Ashley fights through another hour before the doctor comes in to break her water. So at the height of her contractions with pain meds wore off, the doctor broke her water. I felt so bad for her but she was handling it as best she could. That led to my 4:21 AM tweet. Ashley fought through another hour or so of contractions before it was *heavenly music* epidural time. I was asked to step out and 15 minutes later I come back to new woman. Relaxed and pain free. Thank you modern medicine.
So literally the next 5 hours were calm. Ashley was having contractions and becoming more dilated, all while in no pain. My mom and sister came up to check on us and bring me some coffee. We all kind of just hung out and talked until Ashley had to get checked out by the nurse. 7.5 CM. Progress. At this point the contractions were getting bigger and Ashley, even with the epidural, could notice. She was in pain again. About an hour passed she was checked again. 9.5 CM. Shit's about to get real. The nurse had her push a tad to get her fully dilated. At this point it kind of is like you see in the movies. A table is rushed in, a couple more nurses appear out of nowhere, instruments and gadgets are turned on and prepared. It's noon now. Ashley is at the "holy shit this hurts, I want to push" stage. The nurse let her know pretty soon she'll be at the "ring of fire" stage. Yes just what she wanted to hear.
A few minutes after noon the doctor arrives. She throws on some gloves and pulls up for work. "Dad, grab this leg." I obeyed. You know I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to stomach the birth but in the heat of the moment, you forget all about it. Before I knew it I was part of the team. I knew to watch the monitor for Ashley's contractions to start to peak so we could all cheer-lead her to push like a mofo. So we had 25 minutes of…deep breath Ashley! Exhale and push! 10, 9, 8, 7 ,6, 5 ,4 ,3, 2, 1. And deep breath Ashley! Exhale and push! You get the picture. Then I could spot his hair, that was cool. The nurse even asked Ashley, "You want to touch his head?". Ashley would have slapped her if she had the energy, she just wanted this lil' guy out! Finally a couple more pushes and at 12:34 PM on Saturday May 3rd, 2014…Cameron Patrick Lamorte was here. All 7 lbs 14 ounces and 20.5" of him.
It's been almost a week now and we're so lucky to have a healthy and happy son and Momma. Our family and friends have been nothing short of amazing in their love and support. Cameron is so lucky to have all of you. This next chapter of our lives is going to be the best yet.
Wee little Holiday greeting
So Ashley had a couple different ideas for holiday cards she liked and I was able to create this and we sorta think it's awesome.
Well we could have always gone with the over done Santa hat on the ultrasound, which I did anyway below.
JT's Honeydew
Let's file this under "this is what my life has become": I just spent the last 15 minutes in my kitchen, shirtless, cutting a honeydew melon while giving Justin Timberlake's new album a listen. As former Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle would say "Oh it's true, it's true, it's damn true"

Hi, I'm new to this site and plan to have my tummy tuck on 2/19. One of my biggest fears is the recovery and how soon I can travel via airplane for work. Does anyone travel for work and if so what has been your experience? The PS said that I should be ok after two weeks but that really scares me since I travel alone with no one to help me.

I am sorry to hear that you're unable to have the surgery. :( that has to be super hard to handle and I wish you the best of luck... I read your review the other day and was so excited for you to have your surgery today.. what are the doctors telling you to do as far as your high blood pressure? I mean... is there any medication that you could be put on and get it under control and reschedule the surgery when it's at a safe level? Again, I'm sorry to hear this, as I know how upset & frustrated I would be..

Welcome to the community. February 19th will be here quickly!
How long are you able to take off work? If you can give yourself a good 3 weeks off for recovery, and then wait until 4-6 weeks before flying that would be helpful. I realize each person is different in recovery but honestly two weeks is not even close.
The first 4-6 weeks is critical and you need to go as easy as possible. You will be tired, swollen and healing from a major procedure. You simply can't rush a good thing:) I am sure you will do fine but really baby yourself for a while.
I am happy you joined the community.

Two horrific gun stories involving children are making headlines this morning. In Toms River, New Jersey, a 4-year-old boy got a hold of a gun and shot his 6-year-old neighbor in the head with it. Meanwhile, in an awful story out of Tennessee, a 4-year-old boy is accused of grabbing a loaded gun at a family cookout and shooting the wife of a Tennessee sheriff's deputy to death. Josephine Fanning died almost immediately after.
The gun used in the second shooting wasn't the officer's service weapon, and as a school resource officer at two area elementary schools, he wasn't on duty at the time of the incident, The Tennessean reported. According to CBS News, Daniel Fanning and Josephine wed last year.
As for the first shooting, it's unclear how the boy got a hold of the gun and also unclear how he was able to use it (and why was it loaded?). But one thing that IS clear from both stories: We have a major, major problem in this country.
It's getting boring, right? Hearing me talk about guns over and over? We have a right to bear arms in this country, and hey, gravely injured/murdered 6-year-olds is just the price we pay for that, right?
How about instead of harping on the people (like me) who generally don't understand why anyone wants to own a gun anyway, we looked at the gun owners who are somehow allowing their guns to fall into the hands of toddlers? Because those are the idiots.
Every single one of the people responsible for a 4-year-old boy having a gun ought to be brought up on charges. Period. End of story.
If we can't pass legislation that bans certain kinds of guns or makes it harder to obtain one, then each and every time there is a gun "accident," we ought to prosecute the owner of that gun to the highest degree. Maybe that will teach people to be more careful.
There is no excuse for a 4-year-old getting a hold of a loaded weapon. The fact that we are even sitting here talking about this is absurd. What kind of idiot allows a 4-year-old access to a loaded weapon?
If we can't change the laws in this country, let's change the punishments. I guarantee there will be less toddler shootings if the people who armed them went to jail for a decade. I am disgusted. One woman is dead and one 6-year-old is in the hospital and though both are being described as "accidents," I say they are anything but.
If you own a gun, be responsible. Or pay for it.
Do you think punishment should be higher for irresponsible gun owners?
Image via Alan Cleaver/Flickr
This has nothing to do with our right to own guns, which is inviolable, according to our constitution. So yea, lets not bring that up. However, people who let kids or anyone else dangerous get a hold of their weapon and use it to kill should be charged with the same crime as the offender and in the case of young children, they should face an especially stiff punishment. The children 'only' killed one person each but they coudl have easily killed so many more or themselves or cause a ton of non-fatal bodily harm to lots of people. This is sickening. My step father (who is a complete DICK) used to leave his loaded handgun laying out-and-about in the house where my 3 younger siblings lived....all living with that gun through their toddler years. it sickens me just remembering it. People like that deserve whatever punishment the law can dish out.
Once again, this points to a severe lack of PARENTING, not the fault of guns or "gun nuts". In the '50s, you didn't hear of things like this. Why? Parents actually knew how to tell their children "no", and made and enforced rules. Were there accidents? Of course there were. People have been accidentally killed since the dawn of time. But now, more than any other time, we have a society that looks for places to place blame OTHER than on those responsible.
In this way, I agree with you, Sasha. Those that leave guns laying about for people to find deserve to have charges brought against them when that gun is used to harm another. Do I think there needs to be another law written to cover it? No. Do I think this is a good reason to deny all people their right to own a gun (or several guns, or even an 'arsenal') for self-protection, sport or hobby? Absolutely not. No more than I think that cars ought to be banned because people are stupid and drink/text while driving, or that knives should be banned because some whack-job in China went off on a spree in a school.

Spicy-Sweet Asian Slaw with Pickled Daikon

- 1 1/2 qts. thinly sliced napa cabbage
- 3 green onions, cut into 2-in. lengths, then into long slivers
- 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 cups thinly sliced red cabbage
- 1. Cut daikon lengthwise into 1/2-in. slices, then stack and cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Toss with salt in a medium bowl. Let stand about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, to draw out moisture. Rinse daikon well and drain. In bowl, stir sugar with vinegar until dissolved, then stir in daikon, oil, and chiles. Chill, covered, at least 4 hours and as long as 1 week.
- 2. Drain daikon, reserving pickling liquid, and discard chiles. In a large bowl, toss together napa cabbage, onions, sesame seeds, and daikon. Add 1/2 cup pickling liquid (or more if you like) and toss to coat. Mix in red cabbage with a quick toss so its color doesn't bleed.

In response to:
who cares? If I wanted to know what those disgusting english people thought I would ask them.
After an official White House petition to deport Piers Morgan for his attacks on the 2nd Amendment gained steam over the Christmas weekend, the British have been fighting back. They don't want him either.
We want to keep Piers Morgan in the USA.
There are two very good reasons for this. Firstly, the first amendment.
Second and the more important point. No one in the UK wants him back.
This one hasn't gone as viral as the previous one - perhaps...

Wall Street's top bond-rating agencies confirmed Georgia's top-shelf financial status Friday, but one warned that the state faces an additional $360 million in budget cuts this fiscal year.
Moody's, Fitch and Standard & Poor's review every state's financial health and awards a grade. Those grades are used by banks to set an interest rate for the state when it goes to sell revenue bonds for capital projects and other uses. The higher the bond-rating, the lower the interest. Tens of millions of dollars in interest and debt service are at stake.
All three rating agencies gave Georgia their highest – the coveted triple-A – rating, making it only one of seven states to maintain that status.
But, in its analysis of the state's financial situation, Moody's said Georgia state revenues are expected to drop by $1.26 billion in the current fiscal year. In August, Gov. Sonny Perdue lowered his revenue estimate by $900 million – or $360 million less than what Moody's said is likely.
The revelation by Moody's could mean state agencies and programs will be forced to make deeper cuts in the months ahead.
What is unclear, however, is whether Moody's estimated the more extensive revenue drop through its own analysis or from information provided by Perdue's office.
"As we have done for the past 18 months, we are watching revenues closely and will make adjustments as necessary," said Bert Brantley, the governor's communications director.
Still, the news from New York on the bond rating was welcome. Georgia is just one of seven states to maintain the highest rating. The news is particularly timely, as well, because the state is set to sell $700 million in bonds next week. The proceeds are to go to school construction, higher education facilities, public safety and road projects. The sale was approved in the 2010 state budget.
"We are doing the best we can to weather this economic storm and keep Georgia's fiscal position heading in the right direction," Perdue said in a statement. "These ratings not only recognize our efforts to manage the state efficientlyi, but will also result in savings for Georgia."
Overall, Moody's says the outlook for Georgia's bond rating is "stable, based on Moody's expectation that the state will take appropriate actions to manage the challenging economic conditions and revenue shortfalls it faces, and that Georgia's legal provisions and historically conservative approach to financial management will help preserve balanced operations."
But, the firm warned that several factors could drive the rating downward: an increased use of one-time dollars to address recurring needs; a reliance on optimistic economic assumptions or revenue forecasts to balance the budget; a failure to adopt a fiscal plan to keep a balanced budget when federal stimulus funds expire; and an inability to manage "financial stress."
Indeed, in its analysis Moody's said it was maintaining the state's high rating "based on conservative financial management enforced by statutory and constitutional provisions that have helped keep financial operations largely balanced."
Moody's acknowledged, however, that the state's reserves are nearly depleted and that the state's "relative economic performance is weakening."
