Ahhh I just remodeled our kitchen - I wish there had been a Small Cool Kitchens 2009 I could have used as a resource! I can't wait to see what people enter :)
@sagekitten85 - well we hope you enter then! And inspire lots of other remodelers yourself! :-)
We are upping the allowed square footage quite a lot this year, by the way, to allow for more open kitchen plans and a more diverse array of entries. Even very small homes sometimes have relatively large kitchens, compared to their overall square footage.
Lovely -- although having a small kitchen of my own I would kill for even a fraction of the space some of these have. Regardless, this post gave me some ideas of how to better deal with what I have.
I would probably enter if we had our floor done :) Right now it is concrete with black vinyl adhesive all over it from removing the old tiles.
Is this contest going to be divided into categories by square footage the same way as Small Cool?
Some of those "small" kitchens look bigger than my old studio apartment.
@sagekitten85 - no. This is the first time in a long time we're doing this contest, so it's just a first run. We don't know how the entries are going to shake out yet, so they will just be placed in two major categories: Rent & Own.
Hopefully at least entries will list their kitchen square footage / rough floor plan. There are always so many comments like DCarl1 above about the sizes of kitchens featured here, and I would think that would be a big issue during a contest. It is easier to impress with a 12' square kitchen than a 6' square kitchen.
I'm looking forward to seeing this. Not sure about entering but will wait a bit and see how the contest goes. The entries above are very nice. My favorites tend towards the more eclectic ones.
This kitchen should be included in those featured in this post. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/dc/small-cool-2010/small-cool-2010-christophers-retro-rowhouse-small-division-27-114946?image_id=0
This is probably the third or fourth comment of this nature I've made on this site, but...haha, these are *small* kitchens? Right.
@syrupandhoney, no, these kitchens are from SMALL COOL HOMES 2010, so they are kitchens from homes of various sizes. All of the homes are under 1000 square feet, but there is no constraint on the kitchen.
We were simply spotlighting kitchens from Small Cool Homes 2010; the small cool kitchens contest will start here next month.
yay!!! i wanted to enter the homes division but i have a 1004 sq ft apartment. boo! but of those 1004 sq ft, my kitchen DEFINITELY doesn't take up much! i can't wait!
Awww, I didn't realize my kitchen was going to get so much love. :-)
My kitchen is maybe a little bigger than it looks. It's only 55sqft or so. The stove is only 20in wide. I don't do too much cooking, but do bake a few times a month. I can still make a batch of cookies or a cake without too much trouble.

Promoted as "a journey of hope, health and happiness," the sixth annual day camp emphasizes fun, relaxation and support for its attendees, who have been diagnosed with cancer at one point in their lives. Created and funded by The Hospital Auxiliary, which is a part of Cartersville Medical Center, the program is scheduled for April 24 to 26 at Heritage Baptist Church, 1070 Douthit Ferry Road in Cartersville.
"The two things that really jump out at me is the spirituality of everybody and the sharing that we do," Love said, referring to what he enjoys most about Camp Monarch. "Cancer patients can share things that you just can't share even with your caregiver because they just haven't experienced some of the things that we as cancer victims and survivors experience. It gives us the ability to understand, like in my second cancer I had 35 treatments of radiation on my throat and, quite frankly, I was feeling a little sorry for myself because my muscles will cramp from time to time. At the camp, I discovered that I probably have one of the mildest cases of throat muscle cramping of anybody that's had radiation on their throat.
"So I discovered that, 'Hey, don't feel sorry, feel wonderful because you've been blessed. You have [cramping] occasionally. Some of them have it all the time.' But we're able to share things like that and understand where we fit in the scale of 1 to 10, whether we are on the bottom [at] one and just have very little [discomfort] or whether we're up close to the top and have the most. But at the same time we're also able to share with each other what we do to overcome the problems that we have from being a survivor."
Love — a 69-year-old Cartersville resident and pastor of Fairmount United Methodist Church — was diagnosed with stromal cell sarcoma in 2004, then faced squamous cell carcinoma in 2008. Even though he battled cancer twice in the past decade, he said he has received many blessings along his journey.
"In Camp Monarch, we share not what happened to us but what we've got on the other end — the blessings," he said. "I have yet to hear anybody stand up and share their ailment and their recovery that doesn't talk about the blessings that the Lord gives them. So it's a wonderful sharing time."
In addition to keynote speakers Dr. Timothy Lin and the Rev. Michael Tutterow of Heritage Baptist Church, Camp Monarch will feature presentations by personal trainer Alesha Jackson and Jim Dunham, director of special projects for the Booth Western Art Museum; entertainment by vocalist Diane Coker, Cartersville Dances with the Stars and Heritage Sunshine Bell Ringers; a craft project; cake bingo; and a tour of Berry College.
"The wonderful women and men of the Cartersville Medical Center Hospital Auxiliary coordinate Camp Monarch each year for adult — 18 and older — cancer survivors," said Ginger Tyra, director of marketing and public relations for Cartersville Medical Center. "Camp Monarch is a fun, relaxing daytime retreat that continues for three days and always includes motivational speakers, entertainment, a field trip, craft projects, exercise, good food and more ... all for a small registration fee of only $10. I'm really excited that one of the speakers this year is our own Dr. Tim Lin, who knows all too well about survivorship. He was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia two years ago.
"Camp Monarch allows participants to simply have fun and, for three days, not have to focus on treatment plans and doctor appointments. And, I think it's pretty cool that physicians from The Hope Center and Northwest Georgia Oncology Center will join our guests for lunch two of the three days in a carefree environment."
Camp Monarch's initial event was spearheaded by auxiliary member Nancy Zerbe. A cancer survivor, Zerbe was inspired to offer a program tailored specifically for the Bartow community after learning about Northside Hospital's overnight camp for cancer patients.
"I got the bug that we should have an adult cancer camp in Cartersville — but not a canned camp, not a package," Zerbe said. "We needed a camp that was just designed for Cartersville and have it be different every year for Cartersville needs.
"... Camp Monarch is for [adult cancer] survivors and for us a cancer survivor could be somebody that was diagnosed today or somebody like myself who has been a survivor 13 years. The theory was to get the newly diagnosed patients with the person who has survived longer. You can see the benefit for the newly diagnosed but it is also a benefit for the survivor who's survived for many years because it reminds you of what you went through and also helps you pay back."
Echoing Love's statements, Zerbe said another valuable component of Camp Monarch will be Sharing Stories, which will be led by Gail Wilkins April 24 from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m. and Mitzi Oates April 26 from 11:30 a.m. to noon.
"The sharing of the stories are just very moving. ... It was either our first or second camp, the speaker got sick and ... we couldn't get a substitute so we had this time allotted and everybody kept saying, 'What are we going to do' and I said, 'Well, we'll share stories,'" Zerbe said. "So I got up and told my story and then invited them to share their stories and they did. They told their stories and it helped break the ice too. People got to know each other.
"It's very moving. We've had young women that have had cancer of the appendix and we've had ... cancer survivors of 32 years and someone that was just diagnosed two or three days before. And we have people that are going through treatment. We have one survivor that comes every year that [has] been going through treatment every year she's come and she's still fighting and making ground, which is very rewarding."
To attend the camp, interested individuals 18 and older need to pay a $10 registration fee by calling 678-721-5560 on Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The deadline to register is Friday, April 12.
For more information about Camp Monarch, call Zerbe at 678-602-0673 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

This is a place where we can remember Seymour. A place where family, friends, colleagues, drinking partners, sparring partners and anyone else he touched or influenced can remember, celebrate or toast him.
Funeral arrangements - details
Seymour was a much loved partner, daddy and friend, a polar professor, space scientist, would-be airline pilot, lego lover, mountain man and proficient plumber. A man with friends all over the world, with a love of life and of living it up.
Also a UCL man to his core.
He was funny, infuriating, great company, irascible, wise, wild, loveable, loving, and softer as a dad than any of us ever thought he could be.

Heaping bowls of gumbo, captivating French Creole architecture, and mesmerizing Dixieland music welcome visitors to the original birthplace of Jazz: New Orleans, Louisiana. Although it is widely known for its famous Mardi Gras celebration each year, The Big Easy offers countless other major attractions along with an eclectic culture and exquisite cuisine.
Visitors often flock to the French Quarter, the oldest neighborhood in the city, where they book reservations at the quaint boutique New Orleans hotels in this historic area. Bourbon Street, possibly one of the most popular areas of the French Quarter, features a strip that comes alive at night with celebrations, festivities, and arguably some of the best hotels in New Orleans located in the heart of all the nightlife action.
Some hotels New Orleans, Louisiana feature accommodations that may be best left for the brave of heart. Various haunted hotels in the area tell tales of spirits roaming the halls and checking in on guests at night. These hotels claim Confederate soldiers, Civil War prisoners, and 18th century children regularly make appearances, so only reserve hotel rooms at these locations if you're prepared for a spook.
For guests more interested in a quiet getaway without uninvited visitors, the hotels in New Orleans near St. Charles Avenue offer accommodations close to the must-see, elegant antebellum homes and architecture. Some of the mansions on St. Charles Avenue were even converted into New Orleans resorts, where guests can book rooms and experience the upper-class lifestyle of the prewar Deep South.
Getting Here
Own-of-towners often book flights to New Orleans through Expedia to land at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in the Big Easy. Airport taxis offer rides to destinations such as nearby airport hotels and French Quarter hotels. For cheaper transportation, but a slightly longer commute, some vacationers choose to hop on the Jefferson Airport Express, which travels to the business district. At the airport, New Orleans travelers also have the opportunity to reserve car rentals to explore America's Most Interesting City on their own terms.
For travelers driving themselves to New Orleans, I-10 is the main route that runs east to west through the city. Those driving from major cities on the east coast, such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC, may want to break the drive up into two days as it could take between 15 and 20 hours depending on traffic and the starting point.
If visitors prefer to take a back seat, New Orleans does features both Greyhound and Amtrak stations for convenient travel, while the LA Swift bus and Megabus service New Orleans as well.
Getting Around
Trying to drive around New Orleans may be more hassle than it's worth as it's sometimes difficult to find not only inexpensive parking spots, but parking spots in general. Fortunately, The Regional Transit Authority (RTA) offers a convenient and affordable means of exploring New Orleans with both bus and streetcar service. The RTA buses currently run 32 routes while the streetcars feature three lines: Riverfront, Canal Street, and St. Charles.
For the travelers who want easy point A to point B transportation, countless cabs are on hand to provide quick service. Meanwhile, in areas such as the French Quarter, walking is the one of the simplest ways to get around, and some streets even offer bicycle rentals for faster commutes.
Things to Do
Visiting the French Quarter while vacationing in New Orleans is a must. The historic neighborhood itself might be small, but it packs in a ton to see and do within its boundaries. In addition to the French Quarter hotels, the historic Jackson Square often hosts live music, as Royal Street features art galleries and shops, and Old French Market presents colorful street vendors. While strolling around in the district, check out the Musee Conti Wax Museum, the Old U.S. Mint, and Madam John's Legacy to learn about the history of the town. The notorious Bourbon Street is also located in the French Quarter, and although it receives most of its attention for its partying ways, the eight-block strip offers quality local cuisine for the culture seeking tourists.
Sampling New Orleans' traditional grub is a must do in and of itself. Make New Orleans' staple, gumbo, your soup of the day, and treat yourself to beignets, commonly called the French doughnut, for dessert. Other bucket list menu items include jambalaya, Andouille, po-boys, bananas fosters, and praline.
And for those really set on tasting New Orleans' delicacies, dare yourself to chow down on expertly cooked insects at the Bug Appetit Buffet featuring goodies such as chocolate chirp cookies at The Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium. This insectarium is the largest museum dedicated to insects in the United States. Though it may not be a stop for the squeamish, this fascinating exhibition features more than 50 live exhibits showcasing the often overlooked critters of our world. For an experience unlike any other, wander into the Butterflies in Flight exhibit for the opportunity to flutter around with hundreds of gliding butterflies.
After braving the bug grub at the insectarium, kick back with a live jazz performance. Jazz has its roots in The Big Easy, from the epic music clubs lining Frenchmen Street to the influential and renowned Preservation Hall, there's never a shortage of toe-tapping tunes in the streets and venues of this city. New Orleans also hosts major music festivals each year, including the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival at the end of April, Essence Music Festival in the beginning of July, and the Voodoo Experience during the start of November. Listening to this town's top crooners is a favorite thing to do in New Orleans among visitors and locals alike.
Arts & Entertainment
During its early days, New Orleans was unique in that it was the only city in the U.S. which let slaves join the townspeople in making music. As the European sounds of the early settlers swirled with the slaves' African rhythms, jazz music was born. Jazz became a signature a signature sound of New Orleans, and these rhythms and blue eventually gave way to rock and roll and later funk. The transformation of music in New Orleans continued to grow as the city's version of hip hop, called bounce music, garnished interest in modern day. For an authentic music experience, catch a concert at Rock N'Bowl, a signature bowling alley with a stage, or leave the French Quarter hotels and tourists behind and join the locals at The Spotted Cat for some jazz.
While New Orleans may lead the pack when it comes to music, it certainly doesn't lack any in the visual arts department. In fact, the New Orleans Museum of Art is the city's oldest fine arts institution featuring nearly 40,000 works of art. Considered one of the best art exhibits in the south, the Museum of Art boasts an eclectic variety of American, French, African, and Japanese artwork.
Native Americans inhabited the New Orleans territory during its early beginnings, but by the late 1600s, French explorers arrived and used the area for trading and fur trapping. For the next 100 years, the land was controlled back and forth between France and Spain, until the U.S. eventually acquired it in the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. After the purchase, New Orleans faced several years of turbulence with the Haitian Revolution, War of 1812, and the Civil War, before finally getting on its feet during the Reconstruction. At this time, the upper class lived in lavish plantations, some of which featured floor-level mirrors, where the women could check to see if their ankles were showing to avoid appearing flirtatious or risqué. Just imagine what these early New Orleaner women would think of women's clothing, or lack thereof, at the city's annual Mardis Gras festival these days!
As the 20th century approached, New Orleans was now a slightly more socially relaxed, multicultural mecca busy experimenting in the jazz scene with extraordinary musicians performing in the hip nightclubs and dance halls. The city then later received attention for its racial integration struggles and court cases, which led to major social change in the southern establishment. In more recent times however, New Orleans is a celebrated diverse city destination, proud of its early jazz roots and eclectic heritage. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, but the city has since been committed to restoring itself to its pre-hurricane glory with welcoming boutique and luxury hotels.
To locals, their NFL team, the Saints, is next to holiness. When Hurricane Katrina hit, the Superdome, the team's stadium in downtown, was turned into a shelter for those who lost their homes. Despite these setbacks, the game must go on, and the Saints powered through the 2005 football season playing home games in other locations. The city renovated the Superdome by the 2006 season, and that same year, the Saints went on to win the playoffs, and later in 2009, the team won its first Super Bowl Championship title.
During the 2001 NBA season, the Charlotte Hornets relocated to New Orleans, gifting the Louisiana city a basketball team of its very own. But just as the New Orleans Hornets were getting comfortable down south, the team once again buzzed and fluttered elsewhere. The Hornets spent two seasons in Oklahoma before returning to their queen's nest in New Orleans. After much rearranging and relocating, however, the New Orleans NBA team has since decided to drop the Hornets name and now plays under the name of the New Orleans Pelicans.
We say, "nightlife," you say, "Bourbon Street." Every New Orleans travel guide boasts about Bourbon Street, as there is undoubtedly a strong association with this strip and the nightlife scene, as the street primary caters to locals and visitors looking to knock back a few and let loose at the tempting night clubs and bars. By day this area is a quaint sleepy strip, but by night this street truly comes alive, opening the doors to burlesque shows, gay bars, and all-night parties.
New Orleans features an expansive variety of things to do after the sun sets, as the serves up some of the spiciest Cajun dancing and hottest cabaret performing. Stop in a comedy club for a good laugh, or sing along with the dueling pianos at the various lounges. This Louisiana city is the place to go for after-hours entertainment in the Bayou State.
New Orleans is a top destination for foodies. Often referred to as the Cajun Country, this southern city features an entirely unique cuisine with influences and flavors from the city's early immigrants. Take beignets, for example, these famous fried sugar-covered dough desserts date back to the French-Creole colonists, while muffulettas, popular Italian meat sandwiches, are attributed to the Sicilian immigrants who flocked to New Orleans in the 1880s. Because of these eclectic persuasions, the Crescent City fare is best characterized by French-Creole, Italian-Creole, and Cajun-inspired cooking.
While crawfish etouffee, red beans and rice, and jambalaya are New Orleans signature dishes, there are countless other culinary experiences sure to excite your taste buds in this city. For vacationers in the mood for additional international cuisine, check out the African, Chinese, Cuban, and Mexican options, while Japanese, Latin American, and Indian food is available as well. Spoil yourself to the al fresco dining nostalgic of the outdoor cafes and restaurants you may find in Europe for a dining experience your belly and taste buds won't soon forget.
Shopping Guide
Antique treasures, one-of-a-kind art canvases, and intricate handcrafted jewelry define the shopping scene in New Orleans. When vacationers stay in New Orleans hotels, they take shopping to a whole new level, avoiding the cookie-cutter shops of traditional malls, and instead sifting through the antique shops, flea markets, and art galleries. From Royal Street and Magazine Street to the French Market, visitors have a plethora of vendors, boutiques, and galleries to explore in search of unique souvenirs.<P>Royal Street is a charming stretch lined with antique shops and art exhibits, where trinkets from New Orleans' 19th and 20th century estates are on sale. This street is so popular for antique finds, the Travel Channel dubbed it the "World's Best Street for Antiquing." Magazine Street is another colorful shopping destination, featuring a six-mile strip with more antique vendors, as well as chic boutiques and art galleries. New Orleans also presents French Market, the nation's oldest public market, which is a flea market with rows of art, clothing, and jewelry stalls.
Travel Basics
New Orleans has a mind of its own when it comes to alcohol, which in some cases surprise visitors accustomed to specific bar closing hours and open container limitations. In this southern city however, there are no requirements for when a bar needs to close at night, so some bars stay open around the clock, while others are open until 4, 5, and 6:00 am. Additionally, the only open-container laws pertain to glass and cans, which means guests can roam the streets with plastic containers of alcohol. Many vacationers here also quickly learn the definition of a "go-cup," allowing them to transfer their beverage from a glass to plastic cup before heading out the door. Though the laws here may be different from other U.S. cities, remember to drink responsibility and don't ever wander off alone through the city.
Mardis Gras is usually the first image to pop up when New Orleans is mentioned, but contrary to popular belief, Mardi Gras is in fact a family event. Often referred to as the "Greatest Free Show on Earth," it is a celebration with picnics, parades, and floats, where kids pick up the tossed stuffed animals, toys, and beads thrown into the crowds. For a kid-appropriate celebration, stick to St. Charles Avenue and around Napoleon Avenue and Lee Circle and stay in New Orleans hotels off the beaten path. The big party scene with alcohol and scandalous costumes occurring during the same time takes place in the French Quarter, where there parade does not go.
Personalities & Culture
New Orleans is truly a melting pot with a number of different cultures stirred up together to create the urban folk scene of this colorful southern destination. Unlike in other early colonial settlements, New Orleans was unique in that the Europeans fused their culture with those of the slaves and American Indians. As a result, today New Orleans is a city still heavily influenced by native American, Caribbean, African, and European cultures. And because New Orleans is proud of its diversity, travelers can expect festivals, food, and music performances in celebration of this eclectic society.
Just as the Crescent City strongly differed from the other colonial settlements during its early days, it also varies from other nearby southern cities. So much, in fact, some refer to New Orleans as a Caribbean city rather than a southern city. While New Orleans vacationers will find friendly and welcoming locals, just as in other southern cities, visitors do notice the New Orleans accent is not the same southern drawl spoken in neighboring states. Instead, New Orealians speak with a distinctive accent unique to the city, sounding neither Cajun nor like the typical southern tongue. For an up-close-and-personal look at the culture, hop on a New Orleans cruise to explore every crevice of the city, listen to the individual accents, and experience the diversity at its finest.
Weather & Climate
New Orleans boasts a subtropical climate, which means the city doesn't experience a harsh winter. During the winter months, New Orleans temperatures average around a comfortable 62 degrees Fahrenheit, so don't expect the balmy temperatures featured during the summer months. Though the temperatures don't plummet in this city, they certainly do rise. In the summers, vacationers will want to brace themselves for humidity and high temperatures, as July averages temperatures around 91 degrees Fahrenheit each day.
For the mildest temperatures, vacationers like to book New Orleans hotels between February and May before the sweltering heat rolls in. Meanwhile, September and November offer relief and comfort from the steamy summer months as well. Autumn features a pleasant climate, but this season does tend to attract hurricanes, so keep this in mind while booking your vacation and pack an umbrella just in case! Though when it comes to booking a trip to the Big Easy, the choice is easy, too, as any time of year offers comfortable temperatures and a never-ending supply of entertainment from crayfish boils to that signature Dixieland music.

Fast- and Slow-Release Proteins
Each of the five proteins in Protein Blend is digested and absorbed at a different rate, creating a sustained release effect that keeps you satisfied for hours.
To maintain or build muscle, you've got to fulfill both sides of the muscle-building equation. First, you must build muscle (protein synthesis). Then you must prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism). This dual approach enables the building of lean, firm muscle is less time.
Whey – Supports Lean Muscle
To help stimulate protein synthesis, we include fast-digesting whey protein concentrate and isolate. Whey is one of the major proteins found in milk and is rich in valuable branched-chain amino acids. It's specially filtered to retain the protein fractions that help support the immune system.*
Casein – Prevents Breakdown
To prevent muscle protein breakdown, we include two slower-digesting milk proteins, casein and milk protein isolate (whey and casein together). These muscle-sparing proteins are known for their ability to help prevent the body's natural process of breaking down muscle when you haven't eaten in several hours. They also help satisfy hunger cravings to prevent overeating.
The Gold Standard – Egg White
In the past, egg white protein was regarded as the "Gold Standard" of high-quality proteins. It's naturally high in certain amino acids such as arginine. It's fat free, cholesterol free, sugar free and lactose free. It helps bridge the gap between the other four proteins to keep you satisifed for hours.
|Sustained release effect keeps your muscles fed for many
hours to help prevent you from losing muscle
Low-Medium Sweetness Level
Only stevia is used for a low-medium sweetness level that's about half the sweetness level of other brands. There's no added sugar such as fructose or corn syrup.
Extremely Versatile
Use it at breakfast, between meals, before or after a workout, or before bedtime.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
We're sure you'll enjoy all the healthy benefits of Lindberg Protein Blend. In fact, we give you our 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back.

Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system. High-def for your earsIt's happened tons of times. You're watching a movie or TV show, and a character utters a crucial line that gets lost in the soundtrack mix. While your flat-panel HDTV makes it possible to see almost every wrinkle in an actor's skin, its tiny speakers put a real wrinkle in your ability to hear the dialogue and follow the story. If this sounds the least bit familiar, then the Energy Power Bar Elite may be just the ticket for you.Two woofers and a tweeter on each side.The system's slim sound bar features a dual 2-way speaker system designed to bring out the detail of voices and much more. Built-in Dolby® Digital decoding works together with Energy's 3D Surround Mode to simulate the effect of a traditional multi-channel home theater system, for a much more involving viewing experience. The sound bar can be wall-mounted using its rear keyhole slots, or you can use the included rubber feet to simply place it on your TV stand.Easy setup with a wireless subwooferIt's really not too complicated. The Energy Power Bar Elite comes with an optical cable to connect to your compatible TV, plus a stereo RCA cord for older televisions. The powered sub needs to be plugged into an outlet, but once the Power Bar and sub are turned on, they make their wireless connection automatically. You can even program the Power Bar to work with your TV remote's volume control if you prefer not to add the included remote to your collection.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: The Energy Power Bar Elite was developed to both significantly improve television and movie sound by simulating a multi-speaker surround sound system. It instantly upgrades your TV sound without requiring a separate receiver and multiple speakers. The Energy Power Bar Elite consists of a self-powered soundbar speaker and a 10" wireless powered subwoofer. The system features an elegant black satin finish to blend in with your TV and decor. Soundbar w/ CSM (Convergent Source Module) Technology: The Energy Power Bar Elite soundbar speaker features a built-in 2ch amplifier and two-way speaker design. There are two 0.75" soft-dome tweeters mated to four 3" midbass IMG (injected molded graphite) drivers for highly detailed, high output sound for almost any size room. The drivers are aligned in the exclusive Energy Convergent Source Module (CSM); meaning the tweeter and woofer are placed in close proximity and act as a single source to provide wide dispersion, low distortion, and a flat frequency response. Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The Energy Power Bar Elite comes with a wireless powered subwoofer which features a built-in amplifier, 10" side-firing composite woofer, and bass-reflex (ported) enclosure for high-efficient bass. The advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology automatically connects the powered subwoofer and self-powered soundbar speaker together. Because the powered subwoofer is wireless and not restricted by an audio cable, you can place the powered sub almost anywhere in the room (up to 50' from the soundbar speaker). The wireless powered sub has a separate volume control (on the rear-panel) from the soundbar speaker so you can dial in the amount of bass you want to hear. Virtual Surround Sound: The built-in Dolby Digital Decoder allows the soundbar to automatically reproduce detailed, high-quality sound no matter what format of sound is coming from the TV's output. The 3D Surround Mode adds spaciousness to the sound, simulating the effect of having multiple speakers surrounding you. Analog & Digital Connection: The soundbar speaker is designed to quickly connect to your TV with either an analog (RCA) or digital (optical) connection. An included digital optical cable connects to your TV's digital output and then to the back of the soundbar speaker. For TV's without an optical audio output, there is a 2-channel RCA analog input and cable included to connect to it. Remote Control: The remote control learning feature allows the system to function via your existing TV remote, or you have the option of using the included IR wireless remote control. You can control Source, Volume Up/Down, and Mute. Mounting Options: The soundbar speaker can be positioned on a shelf or stand using the supplied rubber feet. It can also be wall-mounted using its dual keyhole slots and included easy-to-use template. The keyhole spacing is 28.125". The 2.5" soundbar depth provides for an aesthetic match to either a wall-mounted or table-top TV. Power Requirements: Both the soundbar speaker and powered subwoofer must be plugged in an AC outlet using the included AC power supply and AC power cords. Auto Standby: The soundbar speaker and the powered subwoofer will automatically go into a standby or "sleep" mode if they do not receive an audio signal from your TV, Satellite, or Cable Box for approximately 10 minutes.

The bar works great. I had planned to install built in surround sound but renovation costs went over so had to do the energy sound bar instead. I'm glad I did. It was a great investment. Pros: Great sound, easy to install Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Sound Bar Written By Nemerosis, Arlington, TX on Thursday, November 29, 2012 I had been looking into a Klipsch unit previously. It fits my needs of providing accurate highs and mids, with a good subwoofer included. I didnt want to wire my whole space with speakers, so a soundbar was my way to go. I compared it to many Sony, Samsung, LG, Boston, and Polk units. This unit is by far better than any of those. The next option i would have also considered would have been the Harman Kardon unit at the same price. Pros: Ease of programming other remotes to operate the unit. Digital Optical Cable and RCA Cable both included in the box. Great sound at the price. Cons: Cant tell a big difference between normal and 3D modes. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

To Yard Sale or Not Yard Sale That is the Question
17. July 2013 04:22 / Author: Khemari Cook / Tax Deductions , Tax Tips / Permalink | Comments (0)
So you finally creek open that basement door that's been hiding your lost treasures. You know those wonderful pair of pants you were dying to have, but haven't found the right occasion to wear them. Or the very strange shirt your wife bought you that came with the attached tie. No matter what's hiding behind that door you most likely want to get rid of it. I'm sure you're thinking yard sale. Just throw everything on the lawn and rake in the cash, but what if there's a better option. [Read More...]


text: Thinking about coming up the rock pile some time next week but just want to know what footing is up there right now. Will I need full Crampons or will step ins be alright. Will I need ice Ax or can I get by without it. The main concern is post holing. Am I correct in thinking that there is not enough snow to post hole. If you could just give alittle oversight of what the rockpile has for me I would much appreciate it. Thanks!!

I have no idea what film the "meh" crowd of critics saw, but it must not have been The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, because their complaints have no relation to the masterful filmmaking displayed in this prequel adaptation to director Peter Jackson's blockbuster The Lord of the Rings franchise.
The Hobbit is a big, bold, beautiful triumph on every level, standing squarely on its own two feet rather than attempting to mimic the style and voice of its predecessors. It is easily one of the year's best films, and should be a sure nominee for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Editing (Film and Sound).
Inside The Numbers: Will 'The Hobbit' Make 'Lord Of The Rings' The Richest Film Franchise Of All Time?
I believe this newest movie is even better than The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and that's saying quite a lot, obviously. And contrary to many of the glaringly wrongheaded reviews and assertions I've heard from some critics, this film is in fact more accessible to mainstream "non-fanboy" audiences. It is faster paced, there is less lingering on nuances of backstory and world-building details (those things are present, but their telling is remarkably economical and seem to breeze past), the characters are easier to remember and distinguish, and it's a whole lot funnier. That's right, I said funnier, and I'll get to that shortly.
Visually, the film really sets itself apart from the previous trilogy. Just as the storytelling is more lighthearted and brisk, so too is the imagery, filled with rich, bright colors and textures while settling into rhythms of wide shots to close-ups, sweeping back and forth, and lots of swooping in and around complex sets and scenery.
The Lord of the Rings, while often reflecting Jackson's preference for approaching scenes from different angles and perspectives, still also utilized a lot of "epic" filmmaking choices for setting up shots and sequencing for a lot of key action and establishing shots, and always maintained a certain awareness of its own ambition and history-making status.
But The Hobbit feels fearless and devoid of self-consciousness about expectations or anything other than excitement at telling its story, and at times almost seems to avoid any obvious choices or traditional perspectives in the approach to action and big reveals. Scene after scene, it's obvious Jackson decided what he thought would be an awesome way for the action to proceed and to look, and then just figured out how to make that happen, no matter how crazy or complicated it might be.
One major aspect of the visual style of this film is the much-debated 48 frames per second. I've heard some reviewers claim it looks like a cheap BBC televised production, but that's utter nonsense. It looked glorious, a level of detail and clarity that enhanced the colors and texture and movements of every scene. It's akin to the difference between watching a DVD on a regular television, and a Blu-ray on a flat screen HDTV.
When the movie begins, for a couple of minutes the difference in fluidity of movement, the precision of details and depth, is striking. But very quickly your eyes adapt, and the effect is breathtaking.
A big advantage to the new frame rate is that action scenes, even very fast paced sequences full of quick edits and (in one scene) literally hundreds of characters going in every direction, are never hard to follow or blurred by movement. It's so crisp and clear that you can take it all in and understand what's going on despite the scale of some of these sequences. Likewise, this means the 3D effect never lacks clarity or blurs from movement, and the result is a 3D depth into the scenery that is perfect throughout. A moment to comment on that — The Hobbit is one of those films that uses 3D to create a sense of space and weight to scenes, delving into the screen rather than just trying to project items out at the audience.
The Hobbit relies on a lot of CGI, and this too benefits from the 48 fps, adding to the film's unique visual style. The finest moments of these effects come in three particular sequences: the trolls, the goblins, and the inevitable appearance of Gollum. The most lavish of these involves the goblins and their underground lair teeming with hundreds of the creatures in a complicated labyrinth full of so much detail you could watch it several times and keep finding something new happening in some corner in the background. It is a gorgeous spectacle and Jackson here demonstrates his most elaborate choices for shots and action.
But it is Gollum who truly defines the brilliance of the CGI advances on display in the movie. However great you thought Gollum was previously — and he was indeed — you will be in awe of him here. Andy Serkis needs an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, it's time for the Academy to cross that nominating threshold and this is the performance to do it. Every CGI character in the film is fully articulated, including flawless mouth movements and lip-syncing that is completely naturalistic. Gollum, however, is in a league all by himself, as real as he could be, the true test of which is that rather than marvel at how realistic he looks and acts and moves, you will simply forget you're watching CGI.
Turn the page to continue reading my review of The Hobbit…
Now, about that sense of humor I mentioned. While there are some very dramatic and somber moments to the story, The Hobbit is not like The Lord of the Rings in tone, and is instead a much more fanciful and humorous tale. This film reminds me (in terms of the humor and sensibilities) a great deal of Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits mixed with a little dose of Monty Python and the Holy Grail for good measure. I don't make the Gilliam comparison lightly. Repeatedly during the screening I was laughing out-loud and thinking to myself, "Did Jackson intentionally channel Gilliam, due to some instinctively brilliant sense of how perfect the fit would be to this story?"
It's easy to forget that Jackson, now such a major Hollywood director with an Oscar and a decade of more "serious" motion pictures under his belt, spent many years making irreverent, hilarious horror-comedies like the outrageous Bad Taste and the later Dead Alive (aka Braindead). I'd never seen a resemblance between Jackson's sense of humor and Gilliam's or Python's before, but it's undeniable in The Hobbit and certainly very welcome.
Bilbo's own arc in this film (as opposed to the entire three-part story) is not obvious at first, but as it takes shape and builds toward his realization and first transformation, there are many wonderful nuances given charming life by Martin Freeman in the lead role. It's a simple realization when he finally states it aloud, but it's a really great moment and speaks with marvelous subtlety to the themes about true courage. It's unspoken yet powerfully obvious that courage is not found in lack of fear, but in doing what's right in the face of fear. This is the heart of Bilbo's bravery, and he gets there because of an empathy that is also on display at another crucial moment when we are reminded — without any overt call-backs — of Gandalf's point about mercy versus taking a life.
Let me address the main criticisms you've probably heard about the film. Of course, art is subjective and no opinion is an objective truth. However, I will say that most of the complaints I've heard about this film are about as close to demonstrably bogus as a subjective assessment can get.
I read one early review that said the dwarf song goes on way too long, as an example of the supposed excesses of lingering and self-indulgence apparent in the film. Well, the song is probably two minutes long, if that. And that pretty well sums up the accuracy of the bandwagon narrative that the typically lazy press — and particularly intellectually lazy film reviewers — have latched onto and are parroting.
That opening backstory you've heard about, that supposedly just goes on and on with too many details in the film's introduction? It's a few minutes of montage and very basic explanation including a lot of cool visuals and a great little action battle sequence to open up the tale.
Bilbo's supposed drawn-out indecision about joining the quest during a long series of scenes that are too full of talking and characters who are hard to keep track of? Nope, doesn't happen, the film introduces Bilbo, and then has him quickly steamrolled by the other adventurers in a very funny dinner sequence that uses a few key personality traits to let you identify who's who. Then, they hit the road and the action is pretty soon to follow. After they set out on their quest, the pacing really picks up and we get a series of wonderful set pieces involving magic, witchcraft, monsters, and just one danger after another. And always, there's the sense of humor at just the right times and places, matched by the occasional emotionally dramatic elements defined by a few key themes in the backstory (notably, the dwarves' loss of home and dwarf leader Thorin's loss of his father, as well as his distrust of elves).
As I already mentioned, the claims that the 48 frames per second looks bad or cheap are absurd. If it distracted anyone, that's unfortunate, but to claim the cause/problem was the actual quality of the film's appearance isn't very credible. Some reviews asserted that the quality of the 48 fps was so good it caused the props and costumes to look like nothing but props and costumes, when really it revealed the exquisite details and weight of everything to the point of making it all the more lifelike and realistic. I cannot stress enough how magnificent the new frame rate looks and the impact it has on the texture and flow of scenes.
This is the future of filmmaking, without question, and it will revolutionize the role (and popularity) of 3D in film as well. Every other big-budget movie that releases next year will look back and wish they'd filmed at 48 fps and in 3D, and in a few more years you'll probably be hard pressed to find any big-budget action, sci-fi, or fantasy movies that aren't filmed this way. And the people who are currently telling you how cheap and lousy it looks are going to quietly stop once it's obvious that most people see the superiority of the process and it becomes widely adopted.
Turn the page to read where all the complaints about the film really probably come from…
Where did all of those exaggerated complaints come from? I think the primary cause is backlash and negative expectations, which created a minor bandwagon effect for lazy writers.
Peter Jackson was hailed for several years as The Lord of the Rings dazzled and exceeded expectations. So, when he took on The Hobbit there was bound to be some of the usual media fickleness rearing its ugly head — the only thing certain types of media and critics love more than a success story is to see a former success fail and fall hard. Since Jackson was not only daring to attempt to revisit Middle-earth yet again in a potentially even more ambitious trilogy, but was also tinkering with frame rates to introduce yet another new technology into filmmaking right on the heels of the mainstreaming of 3D (which so many critics opposed and kept telling you was just a "fad," remember?), he earned double the backlash.
And then there was the expectation that this new film couldn't possibly live up to expectations. It's odd that major success can set the bar so high that people are simultaneously demanding a film meet nearly impossible expectations while insisting it can't possibly succeed. So it was for The Hobbit, with a small collection of film reviewers and media so convinced the film couldn't live up to expectations that they weren't going to let a little thing like being proved wrong stop them from insisting it failed. After three huge successful Middle-earth films, another success story wasn't going to be nearly as fun to write for those critics as a negative story. And of course, a negative feeding-frenzy can bring added benefits like poking the fans and creating controversy that generates more readership, right?
I think these critics made up their minds in advance how they expected to feel about the film, and they wanted to feel that way about it. So when they saw it, they looked for reasons to hate it or trash it — and when there were no obvious good reasons, because the film was just so good, they looked for any excuse (even weak and nonexistent ones) to insist their negative expectations were right. Because they weren't about to admit that the film actually managed to exceed expectations in every way.
Once the early narrative got started, claiming the film drags and is too long and looks bad at 48 frames per second, other lazy critics and writers just repeated the narrative because it's easier to repeat someone else's story than write your own. This tendency to jump on a narrative bandwagon instead of coming up with original thoughts and opinions is all too common the press.
This doesn't mean some people can't legitimately dislike the film. If you just honestly aren't entertained, that's your reaction and it's a valid subjective personal response. Some people aren't going to like this movie, plain and simple. I'm not claiming subjective opinions of disapproval are all disingenuous complaining by cynical self-serving writers, I'm saying these particular dominant complaints found in too many reviews range from simple hyperbole to ridiculously unbelievable.
I'll put it to you like this: If you saw the The Lord of the Rings trilogy in theaters and liked it, The Hobbit is faster paced, has more humor and wit, has better special effects and CGI, has more action, and is in a beautifully vivid 3D. That's the basic truth of the comparison between the former trilogy and this new film. Now, you also need to realize that this film has a lighter overall tone, which can perhaps best be described as the difference between the tone of The Dark Knight Rises compared to The Avengers, although not *quite* as stark a contrast (but pretty close).
My one complaint? The theater apparently had the bulb setting turned down on the projector to save energy/money (as is too often the practice at theaters), so there was a dimming of the color and brightness of the film when I put on the 3D glasses. Studios need to band together to demand theaters stop dimming the lights on projectors. However, I still urge you to see it in IMAX 3D, the experience is wonderful and you will get a true sense of the implications the new frame rate has on the future of 3D viewing.
Peter Jackson has delivered a remarkable film, one that at once matches the quality and integrity of his The Lord of the Rings trilogy while setting a new standard on its own terms as a unique, different story. Jackson has also introduced us to a major technical advance in modern mainstream feature filmmaking with the 48 frames per second, also in turn helping improve the quality of 3D. He has much to be proud of with this film, and fans have much to be thankful for.
I will admit that going into this film, I was worried. The news that Guillermo del Toro bowed out, that the planned two films were being expanded into three films, and that Jackson was utilizing the controversial 48 fps all slowly added to my concerns. Then came some of the first reviews and complaints, and my worries mounted. So I entered the theater tonight afraid that I was going to have to come home and write a bad review, or more likely a mixed review. What I didn't expect was to walk out of the theater feeling like I'd just seen a movie that was better than the opening chapter of the previous Middle-earth trilogy, and the equal of the other two films in that series.
But I am glad to have been wrong, I'm happy that my negative expectations were all for naught, and I am pleased to tell you that you should go see this film because most of you are going to love it and have a great time. Bravo, Mr. Jackson.
You should also read Forbes contributor Carol Pinchefsky's excellent review, which delves into specifics about what little changes have been made and how much the film is faithful to the original story.

American Art Deco: Belais Bros. Diamond Ring
In addition to having the distinction of one of the first American jewelry manufacturing firms to develop and use white gold, the New York firm of the Belais Brothers is known for its elegant and finely crafted jewelry settings. Pieces from the collection are sought after and are in high demand.
The octagonal face is most often associated with rings of the Art Deco period. This geometric configuration lends itself to the design philosophy inherent in the style. Crafted from the formulaic 18k white gold for which Belais is known, the ring features an old European cut diamond of an estimated .50 carats (G-H color; VS2 clarity). The shoulders of the elegant open work mount are appointed with stylized botanical motifs and linear forms.
Date: Circa 1930.
Measurements: 1/3 of an inch (0.8 cm) in length by 1/3 of an inch (0.8 cm) in width and rises 1/4 of an inch (0.7 cm) in height off the finger.
Ring Size: US 8-1/2 (UK Q-1/2; Euro or Int. Circum. 58.2 mm; Int. Dia. 18.5 mm; Japan 17) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Hallmarks: 18k; Belais.
Condition: Excellent.
Origin: American.

If they do keep changing, it might be the string and cables. If the center shot is correct, the bow is in spec, the vanes aren't hitting anything, and your form is good, then I don't know what it is at this point.

If you have to, in a pinch, you can always mount the sight on the inside of the riser to get the extra left adjustment you need. I do agree with everyone else though, something's just not right. I've had several bows with the roller guard, and while I'm not a big fan of them, they haven't caused me any real problems. They do induce a little lean, but I've had no problem keeping a bow in tune with them, or the Nitro cams. Even though your arrows should be the right spine, have you tried dropping the draw weight, or shooting a stiffer arrow just to see what happens? Also might try relaxing the bow, then checking the cam bearings and axles. Got a Cat cam back from being dipped, and was having problems with getting tuned. Found out the guy that dipped it had not protected the bearing, and it was fouled up beyond repair. It was causing the bow to shoot erratically as you are describing.

Something is wrong. I would bet it's the Cable, Sting or drop. You may won't to give them a twist to see what happens. Give them a twist, set the center shot and shoot paper to see were that gets' you. Check your drop also. Had and issue with the fork on one of my drop away rests that was similar to what you're experiencing is. The fork was bent slightly and causes the issue

Don't mean to beat it into the ground, but like I've said in other threads, correctly timed I've found nock setting is near zero, usually 1/16" high. And even today 1/8" high is acceptable - not me, but just saying.

Update. Bow is going in I picked up a Bengal pro instead of the alien z because I figured it would be more ideal for hunting, i set it up today. Nice little bow for sure.

- More than worth the money

I used this backpack for nursing school, then handed it down to my son, who used it for middle school, high school, and college. He still uses it several times a week for his workout clothes. I sent it in last fall for 1 zipper repair and a very small patch. Duluth Pack replaced both zippers for free and charged $5 for the patch. Not only that, it took only 4 days including mailing time! That kind of warranty on a 15 year old item is unbelievable but true. Duluth Pack has the best customer service I have ever come across.

The Grandparents bought my son this pack for school when the started the fifth grade. He will be graduating from college in a month with two engineering degrees. The pack has been used every day for 12.5 years carrying books during school and camping in the summer. After all this use, the black canvas has faded a bit. What a great pack!!

We were tired of buying new backpacks for our kids...there were always broken zippers, not big enough packs and just wearing out all the time. We took the kids to Duluth Pack and let them pick their colors and they have had them ever since. Actually we had to get a larger one as our daughter hit high school. It's off to college with her in the fall! Thanks for a great product!

This is by far the best backpack I've ever owned, or even seen. It's stylish enough to take around campus - I get compliments on it all the time - yet I know that if I ever need to hit the great outdoors it won't even break a sweat. My only regret is that I didn't find out about Duluth Pack years ago.

I've had this backpack for 12 years and have been very pleased. The design allows it to hold an incredible amount of weight. I did have to get the bottom replaced after about 10 years of heavy use, but it was inexpensive and my bag now looks like new.
Wonderful backpack!

text: Is anyone else noticing that the racks seem to be a bit smaller this year than normal? I'm wondering if it's due to all the dry weather we had this summer, but here in S.E. Kansas, I've only seen two really good bucks so far this year. Neither of them on my hunting ground though. lol I'm seeing alot of "basket" 8 pointers, and even the older deer that I am seeing are basket racked. Nothing over a 12-14 inch spread. Just wondering if anyone else is running into this.
