In small kitchens, a dish-drying cabinet frees up precious counter space by eliminating the need for a stand-alone drying rack. It also saves you the work of towel-drying dishes, or putting them away after they air dry on the counter.

General manager of the Warwick laboratory Stuart Brown says, “The moment of inertia is important to get right and one of the hardest aspects. We have to ensure we have stable flight, so we built a small spoiler into the model to trim the approach conditions as we do not have a scaled pilot.

There are many important considerations when planting a bare root tree or perennial, far too many to cover in detail here. Consult these excellent resources before you buy and plant your bare root treasures:

The vacuum chamber is a horizontal cylindrical vessel constructed entirely of Type 304 stainless steel with a #4 interior and exterior finish. The overall internal dimensions of the vessel are 48” in diameter and 60” in depth. The vessel also includes multiple specialty access ports and an internal stainless steel removable grating shelf system, so the customer can place his products inside as needed.

Double sets of doors with the original leaded glass (pierced by a bullet hole that has never been adequately explained) open to a paneled foyer with a tiger-oak fireplace. To the left, through pocket doors, is a formal living room with a fireplace and built-in wood-and-glass cabinets. A hallway leads to an office and half bathroom.

Outdoor space: The house has an impressively wide and deep double-decker front porch supported by Ionic columns. The upstairs balcony is reached from the second-floor landing, and there is a long rear porch. The 0.6-acre property was extensively landscaped in 2001 and has been maintained. A carport was built behind the house to match the portico on the side.

NIST and NRC Canada scientists who are leading the mass-stability study include, from left to right, Edward Mulhern (NIST), Nathan Murnaghan (NRC Canada), Patrick Abbott (NIST), Richard Green (NRC Canada) and Zeina Kubarych (NIST). The cases in front of them contain stainless steel kilogram masses, one for each participating SIM country. Credit: Jennifer Lauren Lee/NIST "These weights are changing," Abbott said. "They're picking stuff up from the air—sort of like the black pair of pants in a house with a white cat."

When winter comes, he and the F-350 will pull 36-hour shifts in blizzard conditions, pushing snow into piles up to 5 feet high. 

One of Portland’s many nicknames is the City of Roses. Living in a fertile river valley is nice for enjoying beautiful blooms and eating locally grown peppers, but the price we pay is in outrageously high pollen counts. Recent dinner topics with friends have included: whether male or female trees are more to blame; whether or not to itch off our own faces; and whether anyone has ever had more snot than this in their entire life, or not.

6. Food safety  Recent research has shown that many of us aren’t storing food properly. “When it comes to keeping food in your fridge, ready-to-eat products such as cheese, yoghurt, cooked meats and leftovers should be on the middle or top shelves,” advises Dr Linda Gordon, chief specialist in food science with www.safefood.ie. “Raw meat, fish and poultry should be kept in sealed containers on the bottom shelf so they don’t touch or drip on to other foods. And leftovers should be stored in the fridge within two hours of cooking and eaten within three days.”

(93° C). Good screens should not stick to food and will be easy to clean. Furthermore, the material should not stretch or sag when heated and loaded with food. All together, this is a pretty tall order, and few materials can make the

In the cold light of morning, surveying my trolleyload of folly, several things strike me. I don’t own a tin-opener. We don’t have the space to store everything (or more accurately, anything). And I forgot the cat food. The cat eyes me, hungrily.
