Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Anybody who has ever thrown a party in an older NoVA split-level home knows the challenges. It can seem as though theres never enough prep space in the tiny kitchen and never enough room for people to gather.

To make their Falls Church home a better gathering place, Jeff and Cadence Weber opted to renovate their kitchen. Working with Fairfax-based Design Pro Remodeling, designer Susan Sutter changed the flow by taking down living room and dining room walls. As people come up the stairs to the main floor, they now see a large kitchen island anchoring the space, and thats where amateur chef Jeff spends time preparing food and drinks for parties.

When hes in there cooking or mixing drinks, what have you, hes not hidden behind walls, so tearing down those walls really allows them to be more involved in their entertaining and with their guests, says Sutter, owner and principal designer at Susan Sutter Interiors.

Honestly, the island has been the biggest change because its given us some additional storage capacity for things, as well as just having a space for us to be able to lay things out, says Jeff. It is sort of like a common landing area where we can serve things. We can have that be where things are prepped and then provided, and then its wide open to the rest of the room.

The island, Kemper Marimac Narrow Rail cabinetry in a maritime blue, is topped with Calacatta Laza quartz and complements perimeter cabinets in morel. One side has a Zephyr French-door wine and beverage cooler while the other has a rollout tray for the amateur mixologists necessities. They no longer store everything on a bar cart that rattles as people walk by.

One of my favorite things is my tiki cabinet, which is an entire cabinet in the island allocated to my collection of rums and my collection of liqueurs that are used for drinks, says Jeff, whose bevy of booze tops 30 bottles. You pull out the drawer and its kind of like, Wow, look at how organized it is and where everything is, and that makes me very happy.

Jeff loves to cook. New appliances include a 36-inch Monogram induction cooktop with a 42-inch range hood, a GE convection wall oven, and a GE built-in microwaveconvection oven, which comes in handy when foods require different baking times and temperatures. The wider cooktop allows him to prepare more foods at the same time or to use larger pans.

His spices and cooking oils also have a dedicated cabinet. Im able to pull that out and select right away without having to rearrange things without having to hunt and search, says Jeff. Previously, we maybe had to take a bunch of stuff out just to be able to get to what I wanted to use.

Cadence says with the open floor plan, they worried about exposing the kitchen to guests. Their holiday party typically draws more than 70 people. How messy will it look if people are over? Because, of course, theres the chaos of entertaining on top of the fun. The big sink for me was something I was really keen on because it enabled us to have a spot to hide stuff, Cadence says.

A 45-inch Ruvati workstation sink, which sits below an enlarged pass-through window that opens to an adjoining deck, allows for easy cleanup. The width really does allow you to do multiple things, says Sutter. You can have dishes drying and be chopping and slicing and dicing, and you can use it as an ice trough. If youre having a party, you could fill it up with ice from the pellet icemaker and have drinks and bottles in there for service.

A 15-inch high-capacity GE nugget ice maker, something Sutter suggested and the two questioned because of hefty price tag, turned out to be a time saver. They no longer need to make ice a week ahead of a party, worry about running out of it, or require a Lewis bag to crush ice for exotic drinks. That was really probably the No. 1 splurge, says Jeff. But that was just something where I was thinking, If were going to be going through doing this, I would love to be able to have what is effectively an endless supply of ice.

The renovation gave the kitchen better storage. Cadence says she no longer plays Tetris to put things away. For example, she was horrified when they finally rounded up their tea bags. They were so shoved in so many different places, she says, adding that all tea supplies and mugs are now organized. Its all very close to where we have the kettle tucked away. Its really nice to have all of that together.

Small appliances and other items no longer clutter countertops. Previously, all of our cooking utensils were in a jar on the countertop because putting them away somewhere would have been such a nightmare to get them back out. Its just nice that we have all that space to keep everything hidden, but very, very open and accessible, she says.

Seeing a bunch of things out kind of adds stress to us, Jeff says. So, we like it being open and clear and clean.

With a little less stress, the parties are more fun. Cadence says, Everyone is saying, Oh my gosh, your whole upstairs looks so much bigger than it did before.

Stooping, crouching, or reaching deep shouldn't be the way you interact with your kitchen, which is why swapping out your bottom cupboards for drawers could be the answer to some of your storage problems. If you like the idea of using drawers to supplement lower cabinets, it's important to consider all the variables. Cost is, of course, at the forefront, but so is space.

Price-wise, you can expect to pay between $70 and $200 an hour for labor, according toAngi, but up to a few thousand to cover the full replacement. New cabinets with drawers don't cost the same as a cabinet with doors for a fully assembled piece: The most basic designs retail for about $320 for a model with drawers atLowe'sversus around $410 for a similarly sized model with doors fromLowe's. A larger, three-drawer piece fromLowe'scosts about $840, while a similarly sized model with doors fromLowe'sis cheaper, costing about $560.

Materials, color, texture, and the number of drawers alter the overall cost. Standard installations usually include a shallow top drawer and two deeper bottom units. The top is great for cutlery or cooking utensils, while the larger ones can hold anything from plates and dishware to pots and pans. Drawers also complement your top units, especially if you have open shelving. They look cleaner and provide a uniform sense of symmetry, since their lines and those of the shelves all run horizontally.

Day one of Pokmon TCG at NAIC 2024 has been jaw-dropping, with nearly 50 percent of the total decks at the event being one of three archetypes.

Lugia VSTAR, Raging Bolt/Ogerpon ex Teal Mask, and Gardevoir ex dominate the metagame in a drastic shift from EUIC. After the release of Twilight Masquerade, Charizard ex decks have completely fallen from the top lists for Pokmon TCG.

Outside of the big three, which are being used by nearly 400 players in the Masters Division, the next best deck is Lost Zone Box. Surprisingly falling down in fifth is Dragapult ex, a deck that many, including myself, expected to have a bigger presence at NAIC following its success over in Japan.

Lugia VSTARs jump is a dramatic rise from its EUIC numbers, nearly doubling between both international events. The deck has started to field a bunch of cards from Twilight Masquerade, including Blood Moon Ursaluna ex, and the Ace Spec Legacy Energy to turn its fortunes around.

Equally, as well as Charizard ex completely disappearing from the meta, Chien-Pao ex has disintegrated from NAIC entirely. The lack of support for both decks in the recent expansion has become their downfall, and they could be down and out for the remainder of the year.

The abundance of different deck types over a singular one is a sign of a healthy game and opens the doors for any deck to come out on top. Hopefully, this healthiness continues throughout the tournament as we prepare to head to Worlds in August.

Dot Esports is covering NAIC in New Orleans all weekend long with travel provided by The Pokmon Company.

Pitch Deck AI Startup Anterior Used to Grab $20 Million From NEA - Business Insider

Aboard the Mustique, the same drama is brewing as during Below Deck Med season nines premiere. Yes, buckle in for another episode about sandwiches and slacks.

When we left Ellie and Jono, he was saying, Bitch, are you stupid? This is not going to be good for you.

So Gael helped Ellie made sandwiches, and the children came down in their swim jammies to the kitchen and helped.

Meanwhile, Ellie had help at the bar from bartender Google, and then her guests. Were teaching you, Ben said, which is both true and kinda an indictment on her cocktail training.

I will give these charter guests credit: despite this trip being a disaster (for them, not for us), their complaints were valid, and they also still had a great time.

Wed rather fix something than complain, Simon said when he went into the kitchen. Simon says: make your own midnight snack. Simon says: teach the bartender how to make drinks. Wake up the chef! Gotcha, Ellie!

Speaking of the charter guests, shortly after last weeks episode, I was browsing the TikTok, as one does, and almost immediately TikTok delivered a video starring two of them, the gay couple, Nick and Anthony, or NickandAnt. They apparently perform their relationship for the Internet, and good for them.

Ellie pulled an all-nighter, which later earned a light reprimand from Aesha. But it gave time for Ellie to share stories of her mother telling her, We do not have money for no goddamn Barbie house.

Jono finally awakened after his 42 hours of beauty rest, and declared to us, I am happy I did not betray myself. Ah yes: betrayal by brioche.

Then he told us, growing up in the closetI have to stick with myself. I, too, grew up in the closet, and I, too, dislike waking up in the middle of the night to make wealthy influencers snacks, so I guess that is a gay thing now. Happy pride!

The next morning, Iain told Sandy about the Ellie trying to wake the chef, so I guess his job on board is chief tattle-tale. He later told us that I like to teach and recounts a story of teaching someone to surf and being thrilled by that smile on his face.

Sandy demonstrated why shes a captain by getting the provisioner whos in charge. In an epic scene, she took out her phone andhold onsent a text asking politely when the provisions would arrive. Later this evening, the provisioner texted back.

Sandy put her foot right down: Thats going to be too late for us. She also sent a Bitmoji of her riding a whale holding bottles of ros.

Aesha gave a pep talk to one of her stews, and Sandy noticed and gave her a compliment. You gotta lift them up, Aesha said. Sandy said, You know most people arent aware of that?

Then she texted the provisioner: Youre the best provisioner in the world. I will tell all my fellow TV show captains about you.

Jono also tattled, to Aesha: They tried to wake me up last night, he said. They, ouch. Aesha said, well and added, to be fair, thats the only thing they wanted: late-night snacks.

And then, friends, came the most damning piece of Below Deck Mediterranean evidence possible: a highlighted portion of the preference sheet, which clearly said that the guests wanted late-night snacks.

And then flash back to the preference sheet meeting when Jono said, If theres any cooked snacks, obviously, Ill take care of it. Obviously!

What I do not understand is why Aesha and Ellie didnt grab the preference sheet and demand Jono and Captain Sandy read it. Also, weve seen other chefs be awakened! Its part of their job!

I cannot recall a specific moment of that happening on Below Deck Med, but I also bailed on the show during the Joo years, which were so toxic Im surprised the EU didnt demand Bravo clean up the Mediterranean.

Jono redeemed himself by making a spectacular breakfast special: avocado toast with poached egg, which is coincidentally two-thirds of what the guests made for themselves hours earlier.

In Jonos defense, he did make toast, and did not draw a line at toasting. Yaaas queen!

Sandy called Jono to the bridgenot to point out his failure to do his job, but to say shed protect him in the future. When you go to bed, youre down, she said, though she also told us that if someone needs food of course, go get the chef unless the chefs been down, [then] dont wake the chef. She also said, I do expect Jonathan to make the food from this point forward.

So Captain Sandy is as confused as the guests, who asked for ros, apparently imagining that the ros fairy came last night while they were sleeping.

While the primary, Jacobwho a commenter pointed out is currently on season two of Milf Manor (with his dad)filmed a TikTok video in his budgie smugglers, a new plan was devised.

Sandy sent the deck team to go ask another superyacht for ros. Ill give you some money, Sandy radioed, giving several 100 euro bills to Joe.

Do whatever it takes, she told him. Oh good call, Sandy: Tell Joe and Nathan that and instead of spending the cash, theyll trade wine for finger-blasts.

While everyone gathered to watch the blasting going on, one guest said, Ill piss on your face, yeah. Maybe he should have been on the tender.

Nathan and Joe rolled up and asked to buy wine, and the captain agreed: for 75 a bottle. They came back with five bottles, and will forevermore be heroes. Sandy told Iain, You got the wine. Well done.

When she wasnt busy assigning praise to the wrong team member(s), Captain Sandy continued her tireless efforts to bend the provisioning company to her will. They asked if they could bring stuff by, you know, tonight, and oh did Sandy let them have it!

Thats too late, she texted back. Sick burn! We heard her say theyre fucking fired, but that was not sent in a text.

Meanwhile, Ellie and Jono were strengthening their relationship: Ellie: They love the food. Jono: Great.

And Bri was adapting to her job. Everything about adulting scares me, she said. So third stew is either the best possible job or the worst one. Id bet she does not last all season.

Nicks pants didnt last all charter; he couldnt find them. Ive checked my friends room. I dont want to be doing that, he told Ellie, who told Bri and Aesha.

Bri cried in her room, which helped get the laundry done faster. But she wasnt crying because Aesha sent her a stern text; no, Aesha said that endless nagging will just cause Bri to shut down, so shes trying lots of compliments instead.

Ideas for compliments:

I did have Have a nice trip? on that list after Bri tripped over the threshold, but then we saw she actually cut her toe, and so thatd just be mean.

While she was being bandaged, we learned Bri calls Joe Eyebrows and Nathan Teeth, though you can just shortcut and call them both Fingerbang.

The deck crew got the ship to shore without destroying any property, though there was some delay with the lines using the windless, which I learned is a metal thingy that pulls rope.

It is muscle until I am in the berth, Sandy told the deck crew.

On the dock, giving what I am sure is producer-mandated criticism to the crews faces, primary guest Jacob said, We had such an amazing time, and went over and shook Jonos hand. I would too: Where else can you get toast and an egg?

Jacob did say that the lack of provisions obviously was a little disappointing, and mentioned the laundry problems, and that was it.

So now it was time to find out how well Instagramers and influencers tip. Do they pay in exposure since theyre so used to people asking them to do things for free?

Well, first it was time for Aesha to use the loo and tell everyone, I just did a poo that was that long, and hold her hands out to be about as wide as Jonos bunk.

The tip was 13,000, which is low for Below Deck but decent for a shorter charter in which the boat had no supplies.

Sandy told the crew never wake the chef and dont wake the chef and when Ellie was like WTF Sandy said, well, maybe on big boats, and maybe on boats Ive captained, but not now. Jono is going to pre-make sandwichesbut leave the toasting to the crew.

Despite the public reprimand, Jono told Ellie again not to wake him, and then called his boyfriend, David, an opera singer, and told him the best part of their trip was me and this bitch is going to drive me crazy. This season is refreshingly clear of toxic masculinity so far so maybe we can cool it there, Jono? All she did was ask you to do your job like youd promised to do.

The crew got dressed up to go out, and the montage showed Iain flexing his pecs, which I guess is why he was cast, because it sure wasnt for anything else.

They at dinner with a view of the Acropolis and the stews chests. Aesha and Gael chatted about relationships, and Aesha said, Theres so much cheating in yachting.

So Gael and Nathan set about cheating. I havent given you a strawberry yet. Can I do it tonight? Gael asked Nathan. In an interview, a producer wanted to know if that was a euphemism, and Nathan said, You will eventually find out Nathan said.

Their texts to each other revealed as much: We need to lose these cameras, Nathan allegedly texted, along with Where should we meet that has no cameras? Gael said that storage locker had no cameras, so they should meet there. All this for a few wee strawberries, she said, and I think that was even before she saw Nathan naked.

We ended with a to be continued title card, which is really doing a lot of work, because thats quite a weak cliffhanger. I dont care to watch drunken behavior on reality TV, but Below Decks crew nights out usually 1) rehash drama and 2) create new drama.

So far, this crew is doing neither; a hook-up, even if one person has a boyfriend, is nothing for this show. Maybe Sandy can send them a text and tell them to pick up up next week? What will arrive first: the provisions or the drama?

Highlights

Not long off the heels of Commander Master's Eldrazi Unbound precon in 2023, Magic: The Gathering released another Eldrazi Commander deck, this time the five-color Eldrazi Incursion precon. Two back-to-back Eldrazi decks might seem like overkill, but Eldrazi Incursion took the exact opposite approach to its color identity, playing with all the colors instead of none at all.

There are four powerful Commander decks coming with Modern Horizons 3 are here, but which one is the best?

Despite being a deck themed around colorless creatures, specifically those with the devoid mechanic, the two new commanders for this deck both have all five colors in their color identities, which opens up so much more design space than what was available in the Eldrazi's first precon outing. It's full of otherworldly monstrosities, new and old.

Eldrazi Conscription is one of three notable value reprints in Eldrazi Incursion, alongside Morophon, the Boundless and Eldrazi Monument. Conscription has been capturing hearts since its first printing in 2010, and it's received few wide-scale reprints since then.

Some decks can consistently produce enough mana to cast Conscription and devastate the opponent they attack, but most decks running this aura are trying to sneak it into play in various ways. It's one of the best auras to tag out with Arcanum Wings, or reanimate with One Last Job.

Hideous Taskmaster combines two things that players tend to hate: Annihilator and stealing permanents. Here you'll be 'borrowing' a creature from each opponent, granting those creatures Annihilator 1 for the turn, then smashing with those plus the 7/2 hastey beater you just added to the board (with its own Annihilator).

Taskmaster's very similar to a card of old, Molten Primordial, which still sees occasional casual play in big-mana, big-creature decks. Taskmaster has a distinct advantage of stealing creatures via a cast trigger, meaning you'll still snag some temporary attackers even if your Eldrazi gets countered.

The abilities on Eldrazi Confluence aren't game-warping by any means, but this spell represents a lot of flexibility for colorless Commander decks. A five-color deck has access to all the best interaction it could possibly need, but colorless-only decks are heavily restricted in that department.

Here are the most powerful colorless commanders you can pick in MTG.

The key mode on this Confluence is the +3/-3 mode, which gives colorless decks a great middle-of-the-road removal spell that can take out multiple threats. If you can mix and match modes to blink a value creature while sniping down some opposing creatures, all the better.

Morophon's great at poking its head into any five-color deck built around typal synergies. It's such a ubiquitous card, even spearheading many of those decks as the actual commander and giving them a powerful cost reduction ability straight out of the command zone.

Morophon was an obvious reprint for the Eldrazi Incursion deck, where it pumps your Eldrazi creatures and makes Ulalek, Fused Atrocity free to cast. Morophon's not exactly maximized here though, since few Eldrazi creatures have more than one or two colored pips in their mana costs.

Players love their protection spells, and Eldritch Immunity's bound to see a decent amount of play, despite a somewhat restrictive mana cost. Decks can usually produce at least one colorless mana on a consistent basis, but it's still a deckbuilding restriction to consider.

The overloaded protection ability is a bit overcosted, but it justifies that by having the modal option of saving a single target for just one mana. You can also view this as a proactive finisher, since giving an entire board of creatures protection from each color will often make them close to unblockable.

Remember, colorless is not a color! Eldritch Immunity does not give your creatures protection from colorless.

Azlask is the back-up commander for Eldrazi Incursion, and maintains the deck's color identity with the colored mana pips in its rules text. This one plays a slightly different game than Ulalek, rewarding you for stockpiling Eldrazi Spawn and Scions instead of using them for mana.

These fiends from the Blind Eternities make a frightening Magic: The Gathering Commander deck.

The reward is a massive board pump and a bunch of Annihilator triggers, which can decimate opposing boards in combat. There's also something to be said for this being a five-color commander that uses experience counters, giving you a viable commander for an 'experience counter deck,' if such a thing exists.

Eldrazi Monument has never stopped being effective in the decks that still run it, and it's certainly been obstinate about its price tag. It was hovering around $10 before the reprint, and possibly poised to maintain that price due to the high demand of the Eldrazi Incursion deck.

It's also a straightforward design. Give your team a huge buff, but at the cost of losing a creature each turn. That means you either need a steady stream of expendables to keep it around, or you can use it as a coup de grce and win the turn you play it.

The body horror's pretty extreme on this art, but so too is the payoff this provides to token decks. Angelic Aberration is a clear payoff for amassing a board of Eldrazi Spawn and Scions, transforming them into an army of 4/4 eldritch Angel tokens.

The massive, ageless Eldrazi have cards that truly show off their power in MTG, and we list the best cards available for your deck.

Aberration ports over into normal token decks perfectly. There's some disconnect if you're playing a bunch of +1/+1 anthem effects, but barring that anti-synergy, Angelic Aberration can massively upgrade an entire board of 1/1 Saprolings, Humans, Plants, or whatever small tokens you have lying around.

As the face commander of the deck, Ulalek's ability is a bit confusing, but it's worded such that you can copy your Eldrazi spells and the cast triggers usually associated with Eldrazi. And you need to be doing that often, because it has meager stats on its own.

The daunting mana cost works in Ulalek's favor, allowing you to substitute any color of mana with a colorless mana instead. You could even run this as the commander of a two- or three- color deck, ignoring the additional color requirements and playing enough colorless sources to make up the difference.

Ulalek copies all activated and triggered abilities on the stack, even ones that came from non-Eldrazi courses. Try to sneak some in while your other Eldrazi/triggers are on the stack!

Mutated Cultist is far and away the strongest new card from the precon. It's incredible just how powerful the card can be with the right support pieces, and that's coming from a creature that can just baseline kill a planeswalker or reset something with +1/+1 counters on it.

Where this really earns its Horror typing is alongside counter-based permanents like Dark Depths and Regenerations Restored. In the case of Dark Depths, you can removal all ten counters from the land, create the 20/20 Marit Lage, and reduce the cost of your next spell by ten mana!

Commanders are at a premium in Modern Horizons 3, so check out these awesome Magic: the Gathering legendary creatures.

Maxime Leriche Published on June 12, 2024 Replacing a bestseller

This new model was designed by the Lombard firm, with support from the Jeanneau design office and interior designer Jean-Marc Piaton.

The great evolution and strength of this new Sun Odyssey range lies in the step-free deck layout, which makes it much easier to move around on board. This technical and architectural tour de force was initiated by Philippe Briand on the Sun Odyssey 440 in 2017.

The Lombard firm took over, and successfully applied these specifications to all new cruising models from the Jeanneau shipyard.

To integrate such a deck layout on a unit with a hull length of 9.99 m, a few tricks had to be used.

This feat obliged the Vende-based builder to build the deck in infusion, in order to maintain a reasonable displacement and center of gravity. What's more, the maitre beau has put on weight, and the width has increased by almost 15 cm, which is quite a lot for this small unit.

This increase in width provides the cockpit with good circulation space, despite the fairly wide side decks, as well as greater interior volume than the Sun Odyssey 349. This is reflected in the number and size of cupboards in the various interior layout versions.

Like its predecessor, the Sun Odyssey 350 is available with three keel versions:

- a long keel that holds 1.98 m

- a short 1.49 m keel with fins

- a version with a hydraulic lifting keel, increasing the draft to 2.54 m

In terms of sails, the Sun Odyssey is designed for cruising, mooring and port living. Everything is simple, easy to access and well dimensioned. For fathers of families looking to gain a few tenths of a knot, a performance package is available.

In terms of engines, it comes standard with a three-cylinder Yanmar 29 hp engine. A Torqueedo electric propulsion system is available, mainly for inland waterway cruising.
