Christin, FWIW I have grown Salvia 'Rose Sensation' from seed and it comes true. Have also grown Salvia 'Caradonna' from seed, but most of my plants didn't have the dark stems that differentiates it from other cultivars. It did have the nice dark flowers. regards,seedmoney

Is cost a factor? If it is, I would get three quotes: 1) a quote from your SDL manufacturer on the SDLs. (This sill likely be the least expensive, the most conveniente, and the most objectionable to restoration purists). 2) get a quote to remove, repair and reinstall the existing sashes (this will likely be the most or next-to-most expensive, the least convenient, and applauded by restoration purists). 3) get a quote from a millwork co., or whomever else may manufacture TDL windows. (this will likely be the most or second most expensive, a little less convenient (lead time) and middle-of-the-road objectionable by restoration purists). It's a sliding scale. Purity on one side, cost and efficiencey on the other. Oh, and I don't buy the quality of the light argument. My guess is that your architect is on the side of the scale of the restoration purists. This is his way of trying to provide you with an actual reason other than "because the TDL is the right thing to do." Good luck!

I think I am back but I can't go to my email without Googling the company & my printer seems to have disappeared.My top Tool bar is gone so I must have hit a wrong key or something. DD is busy as GD is in play for 10 days so hope nothing else goes haywire! Oh,today I was walking back to car parked outside rehab parking (lot was full) & spotted 4 pieces of rebar, nice & rusty,(about 12 in. long each) & on wall above where we all park our cars. Well, don't want anyone to have problems & if they got knocked off that 4 in. wall would cost lot to repair their (or mom's) cars, so I took care of the problem, sure I will find a use for them! Jan

Maybe I can help here. Ultimately, there is no such thing as a "true bridge" - from any induction cooktop vendor. Now and forever. Why? Because induction cooking is magnetic coil technology (you will see that used a number of places). And what is a magnetic coil? It's a metal based magnetic winding (hence the term coil...). On any one coil the entire coil is either on or off at varying percentages of power. But it is not possible to only power the right or left of the coil. The understanding of the definition of a coil is very important here (and a square or a triangle isn't in the cards with our present technology). A coil is wound, ideally in a circle, less than ideally in an oval (but it still works to a point). Induction bridges are merely two or more coils placed closely enough together that they can be operated as one. Hopefully then, whatever cooking apparatus you are using across the coils has enough absorption characteristics to overcome the gap in-between. There is also no such thing as a true full-surface or flex induction cooktop. Instead what you have on the best units is a huge number (47 some odd as I recall) of approximate 3" to 4" coils jammed together as closely as electronic interference technology allows (don't touch!). These then combine with auto-sense technology (which reads if a magnetically attracted whatever is in the proximity perimeters), and sends the power to those affected coils. If we have too large of a coil then we cannot be flexible. If we have too small of a coil we have poor contact coverage characteristics (because all coils have center holes, like a donut). Secondly, regarding Jenn-Air. Jenn-Air heavily promotes multi-unit purchases with very real end-user discounts. That's the brand's schtick. This allows discounts that the retailer is otherwise unable to give. I suspect it is this reason the salesperson is pushing it, because it allows him to deliver a less than MSRP deal that the sales guy down the street can't get his head around - hence it is a sales advantage without any spiffing going on. Having said all that, JennAir is currently a higher-end brand and product for the most part than Bosch Benchmark. Bosch is still the Volkswagen, despite being a very fine one! Their Thermador brand is their American counter to SubZero/Wolff - think Audi, and their Gagganau brand is a cross between the Audi S and the Bugatti Veyron. Jenn-AIr is Whirlpool's version of the BMW M series and Mercedes AMG combined. Kitchenaid is the regular BMW/Mercedes, and Whirlpool is the Volkswagen. Maytag and Amana are currently fosters. Thirdly, hardly anyone buys a Jenn-Air dishwasher alone. That should tell you almost everything. They have some from Kitchenaid, some from DCS, and at least one from Bosch. But it's not their thing. So unless the combo deal makes it right - buy another. BUT - the combo deal might be wonderful! We have a Kitchenaid, some Miele's, and a DCS drawer model - and like the DCS a bunch (despite others having issues). We also like the Miele's. The EU placed energy restrictions on dishwashers there long before our congress did. As a result IMO models originally built for the continent are superior to those developed stateside at this time (sadly). Hope this helps!
