yup... Sea Fire makes sense! If folks like Fire Island, they should also take a look at Paradise Island. Marco came up with a nice sport... pretty much Fire Island with an irregular dark margin. It's nice! gogirlterri - I've got three for you to look at that get red up onto the leaf... you probably already know this but... Harry van der Laar is a really nice plant. Katsuragawa Beni has a different look entirely, also nice. And there is a margined seedling of KB that, for me, hasn't grown as fast but is now settling in to an attractive look - Red Alert. (since KB isn't streaky, I'm not quite sure how RA is a hybrid with KB as a pod parent... pretty rare to get a margined seedling from a non-streaky pod parent...)

Hi all! Thought I would come by and bombard you with a few pics. Paul, I want to go on vacation with you. B.B.

Gopintos, Your policy probably contains from several categories: 1. dwelling (your house) 2. other structures (like barn, etc) 3. unscheduled personal property ( your possessions) 4. loss of use ( a cost to rent your FORMER property, not current + furniture rentals, utilities, etc) For #1 Dwelling coverage usually consists of base coverage - "fair market value", plus (usually) - 50% more of extended coverage (will be paid if you actually rebuild). Good luck getting 100% of your base coverage without a public adjuster - hard to believe. With a public adjuster you'll get 1.5*X (where X is your dwelling coverage limit) minus 10% of their fee - roughly 1.35*X - much higher than 0.75*X you mentioned. For #3 Public adjuster will help you to create a list of things you overlooked and you can easily present a list of things which were in you possession like 1.5*X of total coverage - in that case (and it was in mine) you don't have to itemize anything - insurance will just pay 100% of coverage limit - again - minus public adjuster's fee of 10% and you end up with 0.9*X (where X is your unscheduled personal property coverage) and you didn't have to itemize. There are many other things public adjuster will help you as well. Just get a reputable one and listen. They are salesman, and most likely will pressure you as time sharing people do, but it will be for your good. Our experience was very positive. Without them we wouldn't be able to get even a half of our money. Regards.

I hadn't seen this thread when it appeared in Oct. I actually find it kinda odd. The OP has never posted again. Maybe it was indeed spam? Either way, I have really found the original Range Hood FAQ very helpful, and have emailed the link to friends cause it's such a good summary. I don't think the OP has added anything helpful to the hood FAQ, and his additions might confuse someone new to the Appliances Forum, or someone struggling with hood choices (the hardest choice for me in my kitchen!). As others have pointed out, it's odd he chose a 36" hood for a 48" range. Odd that he doesn't mention Wolf hoods in his discussion of high-end hoods, even though that's the range brand he chose. Why does he say baffles are not standard in high-end hoods - that's incorrect. And indeed, despite his contention, the greater component of noise in a hood is the airflow. You can have two identical hoods in two homes - the home with the problematic ductwork (i.e. more bends, longer, or narrower) will be noisier despite the identical motors. I think the Futuro hoods are a good brand, judging by what others have enthusiastically written on the Gardenweb about them. But I hope that people looking for helpful info on hoods in general will look at the original Hood FAQ rather than the OP's additions.
