Hi Jean, the last two look the best of the bunch. They don't look rained on, splotchy or melted. So I pick both as a tie for my favorites. In fact they are both really, really pretty.

Sharon, In my opinion while the Suncast shed is cute with the windows and all, I'm not sure you will be pleased with the overall durability of a plastic shed. If you click on the specifications tab of the ad and go to warranty it says: see owners manual for warranty, meaning to me the manufacturer doesn't want to be up front with a warranty.Also the Suncast shed doesn't include shipping in the price. For my money I'd look into a vinyl clad steel shed like this Arrow Sheridan. If your existing shed is not on a concrete slab you would probably need to buy the floor frame kit extra which would still put the cost at $900 with shipping included. The Arrow shed also comes with a 15 yr. warranty. After just a few years of extremes from 20 degree to 100 degree weather the plastic shed will be brittle and susceptible to breakage from hail and high winds while the steel shed may have hail damage but is still standing strong. Since sheds are a seasonal item, you might get a better price if you wait until the weather gets cold and Home Depot and Lowes both offer 6 months no interest on purchases over $300, also if you buy at the store instead of on-line don't be afraid to ask for a better price. You might just get another 10-20% off! Keith

Thanks for the offers of financial support. And other accolades. :>) Sue, proprietal chemical means a material patented and sold by the company for a specific use or uses for which the patent was awarded. Seedless watermelons have seed, just so atrophied that eating them is hardly noticable. Sterility is a kind of Terminator technology although pollination is still required to set fruit. Otherwise the technology would be parenthogenic -- fruit production without pollinator. I don't know of differences in nutrition. We eat the sugar-rich "placenta" and spit out seeds. There remains controversy over the safety of some gm crops for livestock, humans and other organisms in the biosphere. There has been limited toxicological research on such materials because of a basic assumption called "substantial equivalence", or the novel transgenic constructs do not differ in any significant way from their natural analogs. When no one is looking for effects, finding evidence of adverse effects is difficult. When gmo foodstuffs are not labeled, there is no way to measure effects of ingestion on the large-scale testing required for meaningful acute and long-term effects, if any.

stir fryi, Check in the FAQ. There's a piece on measuring that I did for the bread tutorial. There are many variables to your flour...type of flour (should choose a brand & stick with it); atmospheric conditions (humid/arid); & how we each measure can & does vary significantly. Personally, I can't be bothered with weighing the flour or even leveling off the measuring cup with a knife. So, I've used my method of scooping & banging the cup against the side of the canister then weighing enough to learn what MY cup of flour weighs. Yours will be different. But, yes...measuring differences can ruin a recipe. It's why I hate to give out baking recipes. When they fail, people say it's a bad recipe...not necessarily so...just different ways of measuring give very different results. After you've made a recipe several times you can more accurately use Linda's technique of guaging the dough's moisture content. But, with a new to you recipe that's a risky technique for all but the most experienced bakers. Also, if you want consistency in your baking learning what YOUR one cup of flour actually weighs will go a long way towards getting you to that consistency. Glad to hear you've figured out what's happening with your CCCs. Nothing worse than to have bad CCCs! Man needs CCCs to live & prosper! :) /tricia
