I was rooting for Reggie, but I think Guy did do a little better job in his pilot demo. I saw the pilot demos again last night and lagatella was right -- he did address the audience as girls!!! How did I miss that, and what was he thinking??? They were both very worthy and I'd watch both of them if they had their own shows. I was surprised to see he will have a contract of only 6 episodes, but I guess that's to give it a trial run and see how it goes. If he does a lot of calimari and other things like that that I don't like, that will be it for me. I do want to try the chicken recipe Reggie did in his pilot, that looked delicious. Jen

The idea is to prevent someone who is standing in the tub from slipping and in a panic movement, grabbing a light fixture that is suspended over the tub and perhaps pulling it off the ceiling. ZzzZZZZzzzzZZZZZZAAAPPP! Okay, that scenario never occurred to me because the kind of fixture that I would like to do wouldn't provide much of a handhold for me. I love the bling of this one from Pottery Barn but at 11" tall with 8' ceilings, it wouldn't pass the 8' clearance between top of tub and ceiling requirement. But for me to reach it while standing in my tub, I'd have to stretch tall, which would be difficult to do while falling. I also like this one and it's a better compliment to the bathroom sconces (and also much more likely to get DH's thumbs up, he's not a fancy chandy kinda guy) plus it's wet room rated. But it also wouldn't pass the 8' requirement even though it's only 8" tall. Beautiful bathroom, dhygarden!

Second idea: Too many sprinklers for each zone. The water pressure and flow gets divided by the number of sprinklers. For example what if you had 1,000 sprinklers versus 2 sprinklers?

The new line of Ping Lim roses, 'True Bloom,' followed in their individual variety names by: True Love (red), True Passion (tomato rred/orange), True Inspiration (pink)....., grown as shrubs, require no dead heading. I'm trying to grow my recent purchases of True Passion and True Inspiration more like floribunas/hybrid teas. They are responding pretty well to dead heading to the first five leaflet, and sending up new growth that ends in mostly single buds. In the future I may just grow them as intended as shrubs, not dead heading them, since hips do not seem to be forming where a dead head cut was missed, as evidently is the intention of Mr. Lim, a self cleaning, shrub rose bush.
