Phillies win fifth in a row, beat Nationals, 6-2Marc Narducci, The Philadelphia Inquirer
It was less than a week ago that the Phillies hit their low point of the season, but since then they have dramatically changed their fortunes.
With Jimmy Rollins contributing the ninth multi-home run game of his career and A.J. Burnett allowing two runs in 7 2/3 innings, the Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals, 6-2, on Friday night before 30,094 at Citizens Bank Park.
It was the Phillies' fifth consecutive win, tying their season-best streak.
After Sunday's 6-2 loss in Pittsburgh, the Phillies were a season-high 14 games under .500 and were 12 games out of first place.
In winning their last five, they now have chopped four games off the lead and trail the first-place Nationals and Atlanta Braves by eight games in the NL East.
Whether the Phillies can keep chipping away at the NL East co-leaders remains to be seen, but they are clearly a rejuvenated bunch.
All five of the recent wins, four in Milwaukee and Friday night against Washington, came against teams occupying first place.
The Phillies are now 27-15 when scoring first after taking a 2-0 second-inning lead.
Marlon Byrd hit a one-out single, a grounder off the glove of diving shortstop Danny Espinosa and advanced to second on Cody Asche's single to center.
Domonic Brown brought both runners home with a two-run double to center off a first-pitch, 93-mph. fastball.
While Brown has had a disappointing season, he now has 46 RBIs. He entered the game hitting .329 with runners in scoring position, which was tied for 10th in the National League.
The Phillies doubled their lead with Rollins' towering two-run home run to right field in the third. Also scoring was Grady Sizemore, who had his first hit as a Phillie, a single to right.
All the Phillies' early damage was done against Washington righthander Jordan Zimmerman, the Nationals' only all-star representative.
Zimmerman's evening ended with one out and nobody on in the fourth inning and the count 2-2 to Phillies catcher Cameron Rupp.
All of a sudden the medical staff came to the mound and Zimmerman would leave soon after. He was replaced by righthander Craig Stammen. The Nationals didn't release a medical update by the end of the game.
In 3 1/3 innings, Zimmerman allowed four runs (all earned) on six hits.
The Phillies added a run in the sixth on Rupp's RBI double to left. The inning ended on that hit when Brown was thrown out at the plate. Leftfielder Bryce Harper hit cutoff man Espinosa, and the Nationals shortstop nailed Brown.
Harper got one back with a solo home run to right, his second of the season, in the seventh. But Rollins matched that with a homer to right in the bottom of the inning.
Rollins now has 11 home runs after hitting six last season.
Burnett was replaced by Ken Giles with two outs in the eighth after walking his second batter that inning. Giles issued an RBI double to Ryan Zimmerman before retiring Harper on a foul popup.

Before I almost perished from consumption (ok, perhaps not really, well, I mean, I did have the symptoms, I may have had it, we don't know…) I enrolled in ballet class. Despite being in my 30's both chronologically and according to the scale, and having never had a lick of dance instruction, I thought it would provide the poise, discipline and gluteal muscle tone I lacked. Also, I am an avid connoisseur of Russian masochism. What was the worst that could happen? I could die? Dancing to Tchaikovsky? This is discouraging? … Several male family members and Vladimir Putin (appearing in one of my pre-class jitters nightmares) found it acceptable to give me a vaudeville act once-over up and down and an imaginary audience a look like, Is this woman *insane*? Hahaha! A whale, in a tutu, did you ever!
I had a small, well, somewhat not small nervous breakdown after my first class. It was days before several people informed me that a crisis of personal faith following one's first ballet class is rather de rigeur. Prior to that, all I could do was sit in a hot bath wailing, praying for someone to come saw off my legs, trying to remember how long people can go without food.
Following a enough self-affirmations to arm me against the male gaze and his sadistic friend, the dance studio mirror gaze, I returned to the next class. That's a lie. I went out of spite and pride. And I became obsessed. I craved the vicious high of pushing myself physically and seeing improvement week by week. Muscle memory stopped being an obscene PTSD burden but a choreography skill. A dark neurosis lurked, I'd taken up a sport requiring me to reject and distort my natural body, but it was motivational and disciplining in ways pills and therapy could never be. And I was happy.
I went the first week I was sick. I haven't been back since. I'm not happy.

Preserving a Squirrel TailBy
Preserving a squirrel tail – description and video
Every hunter (squirrel hunters included) enjoy showing off their hunting prowess. Deer hunters often have a head or antlers mounted, fishermen sometimes have a nice size fish preserved and mounted on their wall. Squirrel hunters usually don't have their squirrels taxidermied but often enough, we like to keep the tails so in this article we will see a simple way to preserve a squirrel tail.
When keeping tails as a record of your successful hunts there really isn't too much involved in the preservation process. With some non-iodized salt, you can start collecting your squirrel tails as well.
To see the process from start to finish, CLICK HERE to see the YouTube video.
Start with a pair of pliers and remove the bone. You can also try slicing down the tail to remove the bone but the pliers often remove it completely, reducing the chance of it rotting.
Once the bone has been removed, pour a generous amount of salt on the fleshy part of the tail (the inside). This is best done as soon as the bone is removed as some of the inside skin is exposed.
Turn it right-side-in again and pour some additional salt into it. Let this sit (on a flat surface) for at least 24 hours.
After 24 hours, wipe or scrape away the old salt and reapply another generous layer. Place it on a flat surface to dry for another couple days and the tail should stay preserved for many years.

FrostIron drabble
"The famous Tony Stark doing the walk of shame," Natasha announced with a flourish, seeing the man of iron walking groggily from the elevator into the common area. She was alone, presumably up early to catch the TV before Thor got up and insisted on watching sports all day. Tony grimaced.
"It's not a walk of shame if there was no sex involved," he grumbled.
The assassin's eyebrows shot up. "You stayed the night without boning him? I'm impressed, Stark. I thought you fed off of sex."
"Hah! Yeah, see, it may take a lot, but some of us can control ourselves," Tony replied. He obviously had had nothing to drink that morning and was rather irritable as a result. "Besides, maybe the god of lies has changed me."
A grin was playing at the corners of Natasha's mouth. Clearly, she wasn't buying any of the exchange. "I don't believe it, Stark."
"You shouldn't," he laughed. "I'm lying through my teeth. He was fantastic, in case you were wondering."
The spider let out a chuckle, "No, I wasn't wondering. Where is he, anyway? Surely you didn't leave him? You're living under the same roof, now."
"Nah, he's in the shower. Said he'd be down soon," Stark explained. Grabbing a glass from a cabinet behind his bar, he poured himself a glass of…Something. It was either regular orange juice, or some of the juice Clint had spiked with vodka the night before. He wasn't sure.
"You were talking about me?" a rather cheerful Asgardian asked from the elevator. Compared to Tony's t-shirt and sweatpants, Loki looked very put together. He wore a simple green linen shirt and black jeans, but it was still more than Stark wore. He smiled, uncharacteristically cheerful.
Natasha couldn't hold back a snort. "You're glowing, Loki."
He fixed wide, green eyes on her and tilted his head. "Am I?"
"Don't pay any attention to her. She's just jealous because Barton couldn't pick up on a hint to save all our lives," Tony said, not without humor. He grinned at the assassin, only to receive a very rude gesture in return.
The elevator chimed again, opening to reveal Bruce Banner and Thor. Seeing the three standing there, Loki basking in his own glow, Bruce rolled his eyes and grinned.
"And why aren't you two married yet?" he laughed.
"You're talking to the two most famous playboys in the galaxy, Dr. Banner," Natasha reminded him.
"Aye, neither of them would marry. Even if their lives depended on it," Thor agreed, an unreadable expression crossing his usually happy face.
"Why do you all have to bring that up?" Tony asked, feigning astonishment.
"Because after four nights together, an Asgardian father would demand you marry his daughter," Loki supplied. "Actually, after just one if you weren't already married."
"Four? It's only been four?" Tony genuinely was surprised then. He ran a hand through his messy hair. "We have some work to do, then."
"You really lost count already?" Bruce asked.
"I lose count after once. They generally don't come back after once," Tony explained. He put down his glass and rubbed at his eyes. "It's too early for this."
And with that, he left, the elevator sliding shut behind him. Loki took up a leather armchair, a rather large, leather-bound book appearing in his hands already turned to his page. Natasha looked up from the couch, while Bruce and Thor looked on with interest.
"You aren't going with him, brother?" Thor ventured to ask.
"Hm? No," Loki replied with a small smile. "He needs to sleep."

Tristan da Cunha
The Islands
Other Tristan Pages on this site
Recent Tristan News
The long boats used on Tristan are superbly adapted to the harsh environment of the South Atlantic: wood is very scarce on the island, and what is available is severely bent by the incessant gales present on the island. Thus, driftwood and imported timber are extensively used for the skeleton of these hardy vessels. This wood is then covered in canvas to form a light, sturdy vessel capable of coping with the strong South Atlantic swells, yet easily hauled ashore when the weather becomes too rough for sailing. Swells on Tristan have 3,000 miles to run and can often be extremely severe.
The longboats are used for fishing, meeting and trading with visiting ships, catching crawfish and for expeditions to the outlying island of the Tristan Group, such as Inaccessible Island and Nightingale Island (for Guano and Penguins Eggs)
|Islanders constructing a longboat in the 1960's
The construction of a longboat is a community affair: when an islander decides to build a boat he requests help from his neighbours, who are paid in kind with items such as meat, potatoes (grown on the Potato Patches) and fish. Much the same happens when an islander decides to build a home, showing the co-operative nature of life on Tristan.
The boats are crewed by groups of islanders. each of whom own a share in the boat. They are usually named after a significant event or visit in the island's history.
The age of sail on Tristan has now all but given way to motorised transport: with the creation of Calshot Harbour in the 1960's, islanders are able to launch their vessels in most weathers
Perhaps the most tragic event to occur in Tristan history concerned the loss of a longboat in 1885
November 27th, 1885 (Afternoon)
The iron barque West Riding , Capt. William Thomas, from Bristol to Sydney, N.S.W., called at Tristan da Cunha to fetch water. Nineteen Islanders, driven by the great need of provisions and being almost on the verge of starvation put off in their new life-boat in a very rough and stormy sea to try and intercept the sailing ship. But just when near to the West Riding , off about four miles, a new sudden and most violent squall capsized or filled the boat and all its crew, save four, were drowned: Among the dead - all adults - fifteen in all, thirteen were married, one of which was Samuel Swain the elder son of old Thomas Swain (One) of the four saved became crazy and for some time giving trouble ...
Martha Green, the sister of Betty Cotton, lost in the accident her husband William, son of Peter W. Green, the governor, her two sons: William Peter and John Alexander 28 and 26 years old respectively; two brothers and two brothers-in-law-law.
Peter W. Green, in his report to the Admiralty, via the Colonial Office, writes:
I had lost three sons, (Jacob, Jeremiah & William), three grandsons, three brothers-in-law and one son-in-law ... Our minister Dodgson left us ... he was going to break up this settlement ... If the boat's crew is lost it will be broke up with a vengeance ...
From this disaster the population of Tristan da Cunha which was of 107 souls, now is a population of 92 persons in majority widows and children, with only four adults left, one of which, as above stated, half crazy.
(Text taken from "The Annals of Tristan da Cunha", a study made in the early part of the 20th Century.

Can advertising be both a force for commerce AND a force for good?
People love to say they hate advertising – and in many ways, I think we've earned our bad reputation (which might sound strange coming from the CEO of the largest media agency in the world). Personally, I believe that advertising has a responsibility to be more informative, more relevant, and more reliable in helping people navigate the landscape of choices in their lives. At the same time, we have to honor our commitment and responsibility to our client partners to grow their businesses and build their brands. In your view, what advertisers are doing the best job of serving this dual role in a genuine way? What are some examples you've seen, both past and present, that demonstrate being a force for good as well as a force for business? What more can be done in this space?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jan 27 2012: In the interests of full disclosure, I have worked in an advertising agency, and currently work in a role in my current organization where I am responsible for a lot of advertising as part of our marketing efforts.
I am of the view that advertising is inherently "not good"-- and I am referring to advertising in its more specific meaning (the one-way market-facing communication meaning) as opposed to all forms of marketing.
I have always felt (since I was quite young), that advertising-- were I to assign a personality to it-- is, well, kind of date-rapey. Yes, I just said that. Advertising is that guy who comes into a party, isn't really interested in you at all (he's not even listening to what you're talking about), he just wants interrupt you to talk about himself and, by the way, almost nothing he says about himself in any way squares up with your actual experience of the guy. This is the same guy who told TiVo that their "commercial skip" button shouldn't skip commercials anymore-- because people will use it to skip commercials and we don't want them to be able to skip commercials. Yes, we want to force people to have to see things they do not want to see.
I have been looking (off and on) for a decade for a way to, literally, end advertising-- while still providing a way for people with wants and needs a way to connect with businesses ready to meet those wants and needs, but on a more equal, open and honest footing.
I will definitely allow that some advertising is relatively better than others-- although when I see an ad that touches me emotionally, I'm pretty immediately met with the thought "They just connected with me emotionally... to get my money." I mean, commerce is what's behind it all anyway-- they're not reaching out to me just to make sure I'm doin' okay.

The changing structure of production: Argentine agriculture 1988–2002
AbstractThe agricultural sector of many countries shows increasing farm size with corresponding decrease in farm numbers. Despite abundant research, the determinants of changes in firm numbers and size have not been clearly identified. This paper attempts to explain small firm survival in Argentine agriculture in the 1988 – 2002 period. The evidence suggests that labor market considerations, as well changing optimal size in response to production specialization are important factors affecting small-firm disappearance.

Make my kitchen fan-freakin'-tastic!
February 22, 2013
I am getting ready to do a kitchen remodel. I've been thinking about this since before we bought the house 6 years ago, and am finally ready to take the plunge. Give me your best kitchen ideas!
I've perused other kitchen remodel threads, like
this one
this one
, and
this one
, but would still appreciate any other thoughts.
The kitchen is a good size and overall good layout. I'm leaning towards refacing the cabinets since the overall amount of storage and layout are fine, we just want to update the look. We are replacing the stove, dishwasher and microwave (we bought the fridge--counter depth, faux stainless, side-by-side--6 years ago and don't need to replace it now). We are replacing the existing L-shaped island with a more space-efficient rectangular one.
Ideas I'm considering that I'd love feedback on from those who've done it:
--soapstone counters (spendy, but I'm drawn to a natural, matte surface with character. alternatives I should consider given those desires?)
--undermount fireclay or cast iron/enameled sink (I have an enameled sink now, and prefer it to stainless)
--garden window (love the idea of an unobstructed view over the sink, but too difficult to keep clean?)
--glass tile backsplash (will this look too dated in a few years?)
--drawers in the island, retro-fit pullouts/rollouts in the existing base cabinets
--microwave in the island, instead of over the stove (easier to reach, but too weird/trendy?)
--replacing a single set of upper cabinets with cabinets that go all the way down to the counter, to hide "landing zone" type stuff (mail, keys, bills, etc.)
--mostly drawers in the new island, for things like my home office stuff, kidbubbaclees' school stuff, etc. (is there any other kind of awesome island storage I should be thinking about?)
Plus, what kitchen thing do you have that you absolutely luuuurve? Thanks!

I cannot speak highly enough about our
countertops. They look great, they're basically indestructible, and the price was pretty reasonable. I'd recommend going into a Home Depot or whatever to take a look at some samples, at least.
We did a glass tile backsplash, and I don't care if it'll eventually look dated or not -- it's cheerful, it's easy to clean and I love how it looks. Definitely make sure you're using the right kind of grout and seal it properly, though -- we neglected that last bit a little and we have some maintenance to do as a result.
The things I love the most about our kitchen:
Cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling -- no gap for dust to accumulate, and lots of extra storage for things we don't have to reach all the way.
A built in cookbook shelf and wine rack that our contractor put together -- it feel self-indulgent but it's just been SO HANDY.
A roll-out pantry -- much much easier to find things, particularly little jars of spices or boxes of tea. We used to have condiments that would kind of migrate to the back of our cabinets, forgotten and never used -- no longer!
(We took a lot of photos of our kitchen for the folks who did the design for us --
you can see them here on their Facebook page, if you're curious

I can speak to some of this!
I have a flat window, over my sink and everyone who sees it is jealous as hell. As it is, it's a pain to clean, if you get one of those green house ones, it will be even moreso.
Glass tile backsplash. Yeah, I think it's too trendy to last. I opted for
plain, white subway
tiles and I'm really pleased with the result.
Microwave in the island, is good, or over the stove. On the counter (like mine) not so good.
I like drawers in the island, do them really deep so you can put the weird appliances you only use a few times a year in there.
I want to retrofit my cabinets with roll out thingies. So good idea there.
We manually refaced my cabinets with fingertip moulding, and painted them (they were 1962 dark stained oak.) We then replaced a trash compactor with a Ready Assembled, unpainted piece we got from Home Depot. We took the regular doors off, and fabricated new doors out of MDF and fingertip moulding. Painted to match. Then when we got the granite counters, we had to have the sink cabinet remade, and we did the flat door/fingertip moulding and paint thing again. It's very versitile!
I love the hardwood floors in the kitchen. Those were matched and site finished to blend in with the existing floors. Excellent value, excellent looking. So pretty.
I go weak in the knees when I think of my broom closet. We took an eat-in kitchen nook and added a run of cabinets, ending in the broom closet. So much good space!
I also love that we knocked out a huge part of the wall between the kitchen and the dining area. So much light!
I had a Farmhouse sink from Ikea that we loved, but when we got the counters, we replaced with an undermounted one. I kind of miss the sink.
Have fun!

Get a sink like this one. http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/104.html. I got a ceramic one from American (That I can't locate now). Having the drain in the corner means you can use the garbage disposal even when the sink is loaded and you can also fit a baking sheet in there.

I would love a water tap over the stove and cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling. I would also like more drawers in my kitchen, the deep cabinets are hard to get into.

I have something similar (mine DIY version: a wire shelf spanning the cabinets on either side of my sink.) of what readery mentions and it's awesome because drying racks always get kinda grody and the alternative of not having a drying rack (like my inlaws do) is annoying. Google "dish drying closet" for other options.

i love the
penny tile
look. i don't think this will look dated in a few years at all, as long as you keep the colors neutral enough.
as a huge baker, i also love the pioneer woman's
flour/sugar drawers
. seems so much easier to scoop flour out of a giant drawer rather than a little canister.

A proper stove hood would be my #1 suggestion. It makes it practical to use high heat on top of the stove, e.g. you can grill a steak or make a stir fry without setting off all the smoke alarms.

We have all drawers on the bottom half of the kitchen, with the exception of under the sink and one pull out cabinet for baking sheets. I love it! Get an over sized sink if you can. Ours is small and I hate it. We also have little apothecary drawers under one cabinet and I really like them. They're perfect for things like sauce packets (taco seasoning, chili seasoning, etc.) I keep candy in another, another holds snack nuts, and there are candy making supplies in the last one.

Kitchen countertops normally have a 28-inch depth but we extended ours to 32 and it makes all the difference. There is room for stuff like the coffee maker and the toaster AND room to prep food without removing said appliances.
You can get granite done in a matte finish.
I do think glass tiles will be out-of-style very soon (if they're not already).
We have a HUGE window in front of the sink and I lovelovelove it. It can be a pain to clean but I don't care. Love it.
Nthing stove hood. I have one that's nearly commercial grade and I can't believe how wonderful it is and I will never live without one again.
My main sink is big enough to put a cookie sheet in it, flat. It's super deep, too, so it can be full of dishes (like during a dinner party) and you can't see the dirty from the table. Wonderful. Also, stay away from sharp corners in the sink if you can; rounded corners make it SO MUCH EASIER to clean.
Double ovens are fantastic if you entertain frequently or host big family events a couple times a year. I like the idea of the microwave in the island. I think it makes the kitchen look less busy at eye-level.
On preview, yes to all drawers on the bottom.

When redoing a very 80s kitchen, I ran across the Kitchens forum at the Gardenweb site http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/
These proved to be invaluable as I had never taken on a kitchen renovation and had no idea where to start, what questions to ask, where to find information. It gave me many ideas on products to buy, which to avoid, design trends. I just can't say enough good about it.
The kitchen forum caters to the TKO (totally kitchen obsessed) while the appliances, lightings, and related forums help with their respective areas.
I am in no way connected with gardenweb but couldn't let your question pass without letting you know about this resource. Good luck..

If you're looking for a more reasonably priced countertop, I'd check out concrete. You can DIY it if you're into it, but there are loads of places that will install these custom for you. I've had the joy of dealing with them in a commercial food setting, and they're fantastic.
They can be stained to match just about any color scheme, and should also be sealed. If done properly, they're pretty easy to clean.

These may not be part of your scope of work, but I've see these in other kitchens & thought they were great:
- a slide-out garbage/recycling bin that it part of the lower cabinet run.
- an under-mount compost container with a hole in the counter, right next to the prep area. Just slide those peels right in there!
- a bar-height counter area (one side of the island?) where folks can sit & chat with the cook.
As you plan, cast a critical eye on your existing lighting and electric outlets. It doesn't sound like you are planning to open up any walls, but this is your best opportunity to make changes. (built-in speakers connected to your stereo!)

Our quartz countertops are wonderful.
My main advice, tho, is about sinks. If you go with a pricy countertop material and an undercount/top mount sink, it really turns into some money. First, they charge you for the countertop area that will be replaced by the sink (that's often $300). Then, they charge you to cut the hole in the countertop ($250). Then, you need to buy a sink, and it's pretty easy to spend $400 on a decent one.
Instead, we bought the aforementioned IKEA farmhouse sink ($180). The counter material
doesn't run in front of or behind the sink.
So you don't pay for the material, or for a hole to be cut, and we love the sink– kinda small, but that means more counter and since it's just one cavity it's larger than either side of a two-cavity sink.
Since you're keeping your cabinets this advice may be moot.

Matte stone countertops? Let me share what I learned about these during the renovation we did last year. We ended up with soapstone in most of the bathrooms and
slate countertops
in the kitchen and in one bathroom. If we had it to do over again, we likely would have gone entirely with slate.
Materials: We definitely like the matte stone look. I also wanted material that was as strong and maintenance free as possible. I always liked slate, so I googled "slate countertops" out of curiosity and stumbled upon the article linked above. I ordered some samples - big flat polished tiles a foot square - and we put them on our existing counters and used the for a while.
Slate works well. The downside is that it scratches and leaves white marks, but this only happens when very hard things get dragged across it, and you can fix it in an instant by literally "wiping the slate clean" - some soap and water clean it up, or some mineral oil in the worst cast. The upside is that (for good slate) it is essentially impervious to chemicals and heat, and is very strong. We tried everything we could on it - oils, acids, sharpie markers - and everything cleaned up pretty easily - some steel wool took the very worst of anything off. It has a matte finish, comes in cool colors and has some streaking or patterns - "movement" the designers call it. There is no need to seal it or anything but clean it with soap and water. You can put mineral oil on it if you want to bring out the movement, but it dries off eventually and looks splotchy while it does, plus you can see the small scratches.
And because I really liked chem lab countertops for look and durability we also looked at soapstone. It was harder to get large samples, so we couldn't work on the surface, but we tried all the same chemicals and it was also impervious. There is a lot more information about soapstone than slate, so it seemed risky, so we decided to get soapstone for the bathrooms.
Cost and suppliers: here is the deal: if you go to a kitchen place near you and ask for soapstone or slate, they will likely quote you a price that is well over the cost of granite. In fact, the price I was quoted for soapstone was $99 per sq ft, and slate was over $100 per sq ft. This is insane, and you can do much better. We have over 70 sq ft of countertops in our kitchen, and price was an issue, and we got it for much less.
Good quality impervious slate is quarried in Vermont and New York. You can buy it directly from the quarry for $40 a sq ft - we bought ours from
Sheldon Slate
, and I flew up pretty cheaply on Southwest to visit the quarry and pick slabs. Oh, the $40 is for the finished size, not the whole slab. We ended up with enough left over material to make an extra countertop for a laundry area. Shipping to the DC area cost about $600. I found a fabricator (recommended by the quarry, through they were not that awesome) who agreed to do the final fabrication and installation for a flat fee instead of a sq foot price. The slabs were shipped to them, and they did all the work. Overall, all costs included, it ended up about $65 per sq ft, which is almost half of what I was quoted and which is similar to good granite. We got light green slate for the kitchen, in part because it came in larger slabs, and grey slate for one of the baths. The grey is cool but would be too busy in large pieces. We are really happy with it to date.
Soapstone mostly comes from overseas, but it is still quarried in Virginia at
Alberene Soapstone
. Again, I drove down to the quarry and picked out slabs. We mostly got
Old Dominion
, but for the nice ground floor guest bath we got
. The Old Dominion is pretty soft, and got small chips in a few spots during the installation. It is more grey in color naturally. You can treat it with something like Tenex Tiger Ager and it makes it look wet, which is pretty, but for now we haven't treated it though we might for a change later. Is was about $29 per sq ft, if I recall correctly. The Alberene is nicer, much harder and darker, though it was $39 a sq ft, and the slab sizes are smaller.
In the end we like it all, but like the slate better. It has cool patterns (especially along the edges) and has a very nice feel to it, but Alberene soapstone is also nice. The Old Domion is ok, it may grown on me more if we treat it to darken it.
Send me an email address by memail and I can send you some pictures of what we ended up with, if you like, as well as slab pictures if you want to see what it looks like (this offer valid for other MeFites as well).

Something we've had for two places now: 40" countertops. Wow.
Even our friends who are 5'2" agree that it's far more convenient to reach things at elbow-height instead of just-under elbow height. If you have space for a bar-height anything, put your dishwasher there, and raise it so that the top of the dishwasher is just under the countertop lip (with a drawer underneath for towels or what-have-you).
Your back will thank you.

We did a complete kitchen overhaul and remodeling of our 11x19 foot kitchen last year.
The three things we did that I'm most proud of:
1) Our tile guy suggested epoxy grout, which will not stain like regular grout, although it costs a bit more, as does the installation. This was money well spent.
2) We had all electrical switches and outlets on strips at the base of the upper cabinets against the wall where the tiled areas are. This way, no switch plates interrupt the pattern of the tiles (which are white subway tiles with a few colorful accent tiles we got from Israel. We have 28 electrical outlets, and about 20 of them are on the strips, out of site from normal eye level perspective. It sounds like a lot, but we NEVER have to unplug anything to plug something else in. Also, we had the switch for the garbage disposal put inside the cabinet under the sink instead of on the tile wall.
3) We have xenon under cabinet lights, because I hate fluorescent lights. We also replaced 450 watts worth of overhead halogen lighting with 18 watts worth of LCD cans, and have great illumination. the LCD lights were way more expensive than halogen or incandescent would have been, but we're saving a lot of energy and the light is clean and bright.

We just redid ours last year. Stuff we now have that I absolutely love:
- Zodiaq countertops; they are all that.
- French door fridge with a big freezer drawer under (it's counter depth too so stuff doesn't hide in the back and spoil)
- cabinets flush with ceiling, omg so much more storage for all those weird things like the giant roasting racks & soforth that we use once a year but REALLY REALLY NEED when we do.
- Drawers, big deep ones, NOT cabinets, for all the under-counter storage. Really. Almost every new place in Europe we've seen does this and there's a reason - it is tremendously space efficient. Also easier to store a bunch of stacks of random plates and bowls in a big drawer-with-dowels than in a little dinky cabinet.
- get "frameless" cabinets for the ones you do have - ours were something we found at Home Depot and there's an incredible amount of space inside because it's not being eaten up by a useless decorative door frame.
- we moved the sink from the 50's era facing-the-window awkward corner, to front and center, facing outward in the middle island, with lots and lots of prep space on both sides and the dishwasher directly to our (dominant) right hand side. It is FANTASTIC for working on stuff with people in the house because even if you're washing dishes or prepping food, you still get to be social.
We had the luxury of working with an architect who is also a friend of ours, but we also budgeted extra to pay him to design all of this stuff right and figure out all the "gotchas" and space and materials weirdness that may come up during the project. Our kitchen was originally a little near-galley thing in a midcentury modern 1000 s.f. ranch house. We originally had an annoying partition wall in between the kitchen and livingroom / dining area. We demo'd the partition and installed the island instead, but we were still working with limited space in which my husband wanted to fit a ginormous fridge and 36" induction cooktop and massive wall oven/microwave combo. So yeah, we had to be extremely savvy with every millimeter of space.
It was worth every penny we paid our architect, because we didn't run into problems with fitting appliances into the design or figuring out how many stupid GFI outlets we'd need, or how to seam the countertops so it wouldn't show, etc. This is why you hire professionals for big ticket jobs like this.

ooh imjustsaying reminded me: we also replaced our incredibly crappy lighting (basically a huge dim ceiling fixture with CFLs coupled with a weak stovetop incandescent) with a combination of LED undermount strips on all the cabinets for surface lighting, and half a dozen dimmable LED cans, plus some decorative pendant lights which are incandescent still but also dimmable. It makes the fact that we effectively turned our kitchen into part of our living / "great" room work, because we can control the lighting such that we can vary the mood and illumination accordingly. Also the undermount LED surface lighting is focused and bright enough that I can work on stuff in the kitchen while my husband is gaming on the TV in the livingroom without it bothering him (no screen glare from the lights).

Thanks everyone for all the ideas!
Good to see that many agree with getting a hood. I'd been wondering if that was just too decorative to be worth it.
Kerning, thanks for the penny tile recommendation, that is a fun look
I see a couple of you love your big windows--I think I would too. This might have to depend on how much budget we have left, though…
Procrastination, that is terrific information about soapstone and slate options!!
Thanks again everyone!

I marked a couple of best answers, since those were the ones that helped me most in my specific situation (the gardenweb site is a terrific resource, and procrastination's advice about slate and soapstone was perfect for me). But, tons of great ideas here for anyone else considering a kitchen remodel.

Just a question...
I've recently purchased a set of Wilson Staff Di9's , graphite shaft, uniflex, wide tip and have sent them to Wilson for adjustment to 1* upright and check the lofts. When I played the first round with them, I had a problem with the lie as I am 6'1" and the lofts, well I just thought they needed a check. But, then I went on the web and looked at the specs - found out the lie is about 1* flat from the factory and that was the problem. Also, the pictures of the irons showed that somewhere along the way, some of them had a standard hosel and shaft instead of the short hosel and wide tip. Anyone else seen this variant? maybe an early model or one for another market. Just curious, because I had to return the clubs to Wilson because the short hosel/wide tip design is not adjustable in the field. Hopefully this will fix the problem, but in the future, the cost of ownership is high on a set of irons that can only be adjusted in the maker's shop.
On a second note, what has the coustomer service been like with Wilson in your experience?
I have 2 deg flat on my irons and i am 6ft 1"
They are MX100
Had Di7 standard irons before that

Only | SAMHSA
News Home
look at how the S.M.A.R.T.
Treatment Planning products were created illustrates
the close cooperation required by the Blending Initiative.
The initiative brings together researchers supported
by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and trainers
from SAMHSA's Addiction Technology Transfer Centers
(ATTCs) to get research findings into the hands of practitioners.
With NIDA support, researcher A. Thomas McLellan, Ph.D.,
founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Treatment
Research Institute (TRI) in Philadelphia, PA, and his
colleagues developed the Addiction Severity Index (ASI)
in 1980. The ASI helps addiction counselors systematically
collect information about seven areas of patients'
lives, including alcohol and drug use, medical and psychiatric
problems, employment, legal issues, and family and social
In addition to giving clinicians a framework for gathering
information about all aspects of a client's life,
the ASI also provides objective data that both clinicians
and researchers can readily understand.
"The substance abuse field has never had something
like a blood pressure rating, where you could say, 'This
client is 130 over 80,' " explained Deni
Carise, Ph.D., TRI's Director of Treatment Systems
Research. "We basically had descriptive things
like, 'This person drinks far too much,'
or 'This person drinks a lot,' or 'This
person's a heavy drinker.' You can't
tell which person drinks more than the others."
By now, most clinicians use the ASI to assess substance
use treatment disorders. Yet these professionals don't
always make the most of the data generated by the tool,
viewing it merely as required paperwork. "People
often do the assessment, throw it in the chart, and close
the file," said Dr. Carise.
The ASI Blending Team hopes to make the assessment tool
more broadly accessible and understandable, so that it
can be used to maximum advantage. The team consists of
Dr. McLellan, Dr. Carise, and Meghan Love on the science
side and three ATTC representatives on the technology-transfer
Aimed at addiction counselors and their supervisors,
the S.M.A.R.T. Treatment Planning curriculum explains
how to use the ASI for clinical purposes, and in particular,
treatment planning. "The curriculum walks people
through the process of collecting information about patients'
problems and then using that information as the building
blocks of a treatment plan," explained ASI Blending
Team Chair Richard T. Spence, Ph.D., Director of the
Gulf Coast ATTC in Austin, TX.
After developing and piloting the curriculum, the blending
team conducted a "training of trainers" session.
The ATTCs are now developing a cadre of trainers who
can offer the training, said Dr. Spence, noting that
the ATTC national office maintains a list of available
trainers around the country.

An old school in our area is getting a bit of a makeover, and it's all thanks to a local group of volunteers in Buena Vista who decided to step up to the plate.
Reverend Bryon LePere came up with the idea for Renew the Blue after walking through Parry McCluer Middle School for the first time and seeing the deterioration.
Now, hundreds of volunteers from Buena Vista Baptist Church, other churches, businesses, and local organizations have committed to paint 19 rooms in the 90-year-old building.
"It's a great school, has great teachers, has great kids, so the people are wonderful, but there are some obvious signs of wear in a lot of the classrooms," LePere said. "While we can't double the budget or fix some of the big issue things, we can work with paint, we can put paint on a wall."
LePere estimates this project is saving the school system upwards of $10,000.

A Closer Look At Bone Stimulators For Charcot
- Volume 19 - Issue 12 - December 2006
- 31900 reads
- 0 comments
In 1993, Cohen, et. al., were the first to report the use of an implantable direct current bone growth stimulation as an adjunct in the surgical repair of a nonunion following Charcot midfoot reconstructive surgery.12 More recently, Wang, et. al., described their success using pulsed electromagnetic field bone stimulation following surgical reconstruction of the Charcot foot and ankle with external fixation.13 This is one of the only papers looking at the use of electrical bone growth stimulation following Charcot foot reconstructive surgery.
The authors performed reconstructions in 28 patients with Charcot deformities of mainly Lisfranc's joint or the ankle joint. In their series, the researchers performed an open or percutaneous tendo-Achilles lengthening, arthrodesis of the involved joints with the use of a hybrid or ring-to-ring external fixator, and application of PEMF external bone growth stimulation immediately postoperatively. The authors noted radiographic consolidation of the correction at a mean of 3.1 months. While they reported consistently good results in their series, the study authors recognized that a larger series would be necessary to support their positive results further.
Current Recommendations: What You Should Know
What is the bottom line? Current evidence supports the use of electrical or mechanical bone growth stimulation in the acute stages of Charcot foot, but the evidence is still limited. All of the papers report the use of electrical or mechanical bone growth stimulation in the acute stages of Charcot osteoarthropathy or Eichenholtz stage 1 or 2 (i.e. stage of development or early stage of coalescence). There is no current evidence to support the use of bone growth stimulation in the chronic Charcot foot deformity or Eichenholtz stage 3.
Out of the currently available bone growth stimulation devices, the CMF and PEMF stimulators have been the most extensively studied in the Charcot foot, and appear to be the most validated of the electrical bone growth stimulation devices. There are case reports of the use of direct current (DC) bone growth stimulation and mechanical bone growth stimulation (i.e. LIUS) but nothing further is currently available. There are currently no reports regarding the use of the capacitive coupling bone growth stimulation device. Future studies are needed that focus on prospective randomized controlled trials so meta-analyses of these trials can increase the effective study population and result in meaningful, clinically useful guidelines.14
In all situations, the clinician should first clinically and radiographically evaluate the patient with suspected Charcot osteoarthropathy and determine whether a bone growth stimulation device is indicated, appropriate and potentially helpful. One should not expect a bone growth stimulator to correct a malunion nor should clinicians use it as a substitute for immobilization and offloading. In my opinion, once you have determined that a bone growth stimulator is desirable in the management of a patient, the type of stimulator you use is less important.
The non-invasive devices all have different times of application. Often device representatives, in order to promote their device over another device, advertise these application times. Clinicians should recognize that the time of application is highly variable and it does not imply that one device is better than another. With PEMF stimulation, CMF stimulation and LIUS stimulation, generally shorter times have been advocated. Similarly, longer usage times with these devices have shown continued effectiveness but to a lesser degree. DC stimulation and CC stimulation are advocated for use 24 hours a day. These devices have shown improved efficacy with progressively longer periods of use.2

I don't wanna.
This week was a very strange one for me, as the students at Boston University began to move back into their dorms. The IT Help Center had it's employees working some pretty crazy hours, so I was exhausted by the time the weekend came around. But the hours weren't what I found hard about this week. It was watching as all the students returned back to campus, moving into their dorms and talking about their new school schedules. It was weird to me that every day after work, I was hopping on the train back to Eastie rather than going back to my apartment in South Campus. Instead of worrying about what books I needed to buy or where my classes were going to be, I spent all day in my office answering calls of students who couldn't figure out how to connect to the internet ("So… it says 'Terminate' and 'Connect'. Which should I choose?"). Best part? They put us in uniform:
The fact that I'm not in college anymore hadn't really sunken in before this week. I guess now I have to suck it up and accept the facts: I'm old. Wah.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

Searching for Medicare plans in Missouri? Let PlanPrescriber be your resource for Missouri Medicare information and plan comparisons.
The overall population of Missouri is expected to grow by about 1.2 million from 2000 to 2030, when the population will be around 6.8 million people. This represents around a 21% increase over three decades. As the baby boomers age, persons over age 65 will account for more than one-fifth of all Missourians by the year 2030. This population is expected to increase by 87% during this time. The current number of Medicare beneficiaries in the state of Missouri is 1,009,613, and this number is projected to increase with the aging of the baby boomers.
Here are some statistics on Medicare in Missouri:
Medicare is a national insurance program administered by the federal government. Hence, Medicare eligibility and enrollment are the same no matter if you are in Missouri or any other state. However, based on a Medicare beneficiary's location, the availability, associated costs, and insurance providers may vary for:
Unlike the ten standardized options of Medicare Supplement plans, additional benefits and coverage of Medicare Advantage plans and Medicare Part D plans may also vary between plans of the same type for Missouri Medicare beneficiaries.
A Missouri resident may have different Medicare plan offerings than a resident of another state; similarly, a resident of Kansas City in Wyandotte County may have different Medicare plan offerings than a resident of St. Louis in St. Louis County. It is important for Medicare beneficiaries to not only customize their search for Medicare plans based on their individual health and prescription needs, but also the county and state in which they reside.
To start comparing Medicare plans in Missouri today, enter your zip code above for a customized list of plans available in your area. You can also enter in your medication needs to further tailor your search results and cost estimations.
MO HealthNet is the Medicaid program for the state of Missouri. Missouri residents with limited income and assets are eligible to enroll in this program. Missouri Medicare beneficiaries who are also enrolled in Medicaid are also known as "dual eligibles".
The Missouri Medicaid program can work in coordination with Medicare. Medicare acts as the primary insurance, while MO HealthNet acts as the secondary insurance. MO HealthNet helps pay for certain costs not covered by Medicare if you use providers that accept both Medicare and MO HealthNet.
