FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 19, 2009
- Sessions Said He Was Very Impressed With Sotomayor's Knowledge, Experience and Energy Level. "I'm very impressed with her knowledge, her experience, her energy level." [Birmingham News, 6/3/09]
- Sen. Sessions Said "She's A Bright Person, She's Got A Good Background." On Fox News today, ranking Republican Senator on the Judiciary Committee Jeff Sessions said: "She's a bright person, she's got a good background, and it's incumbent upon Republicans or any Senator to give every nominee a fair shake and I am committed to that." [Fox News, 5/26/2009]
- Sessions Said Sotomayor Had A Good Record And Was Smart. "This lady has got a good record, as Pat says, for a judge: prosecutor, lawyer, judge, district trial judge, federal judge. She's smart." [Meet the Press, 5/31/09
Sen. Hatch Said Sotomayor Was "a Very Impressive Person; a Great Human Story in Her Life" and Said She Had "a Good Academic Record." "I have to say that she's a very impressive person; a great human story in her life. She has a good academic record, and we have to go through all of the cases and look this matter over (before deciding whether to support her and) I intend to do that in a fair and honorable way." [UPI, 6/3/09]
- Martinez Said Sotomayor's Career and Life Story Was "One of Great Accomplishments and a Source of Inspiration." "U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez, the former head of the Republican National Committee, touted Sotomayor's career and life story as 'one of great accomplishments and a source of inspiration.'" [Orlando Sentinel, Maxwell Column, 5/31/09
Sen. Olympia Snowe Called Sotomayor "Well-Qualified" And Said Her Selection Was "Historic." "Indisputably, this is an historic selection, as Sonia Sotomayor is just the third woman to be nominated to The Court and the first Hispanic American. I commend President Obama for nominating a well-qualified woman, as I urged him to do during a one-on-one meeting on a variety of issues in the Oval Office earlier this month. I also appreciate that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel called me personally this morning to inform me of the President's selection." [Snowe Statement, 5/26/09]
Tom Goldstein: Review Of All Of Sotomayor's Race-Related Cases Shows That "Judge Sotomayor Does Not Allow Bias To Infect Her Decision Making
." Tom Goldstein wrote, "Overlooked in the hysteria over this one decision is that Judge Sotomayor considered issues of race almost 100 times as an appellate judge. Having now reviewed every single race-related case on which she sat in more than a decade on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, I've concluded that Judge Sotomayor does not allow bias to infect her decision-making…In her opinions regarding civil rights laws, Judge Sotomayor has written about principles of restraint. She has stressed that ''the duty of a judge is to follow the law,'' so that judges have no power ''to disregard the plain language of any statute or to invent exceptions to the statutes'' created by Congress. That principle seems to run consistently through her rulings on race-related cases. That is not to say that Judge Sotomayor is inattentive to questions of racial discrimination. In Gant v. Wallingford Board of Education, for example, she dissented from the majority's ruling that a school's favorable treatment of white students could not prove that a young black student who was demoted to a lower grade was the victim of discrimination. In Hayden v. Pataki, she concluded that felon disenfranchisement laws are discriminatory and violate the Voting Rights Act. Her decisions in these cases would hardly make her an extremist." [Tom Goldstein, New York Times, 6/16/09]Andrew Cohen: "The First Thing To Say About The [Sotomayor Questionnaire And] Massive Document Dump Is That Judge Sotomayor Has An Extensive Mainstream Record In The Law." CBS News legal correspondent Andrew Cohen wrote, "Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has in the course of her long career compiled a massive public record. She has written or spoken millions of words on what are by definition some of the most contentious issues of our time. She appears to have eaten enough rubber chicken to start her own KFC. And she has evidently schlepped to more sonorous law-related events than any person in their right mind would schlep to over the course of even the longest career. If this High Court thing doesn't work out for her she should make a pitch to Red Bull to become its spokeswoman. So it should come as no surprise that there were few surprises today in the completed questionnaire distributed to the Senate Judiciary Committee by the White House's confirmation-hearing panel of hacks and tribunes. The first thing to say about the massive document dump is that Judge Sotomayor has an extensive mainstream record in the law that is marked by a few controversial moments of expressed thought. If this is enough to preclude her ascension to the Supreme Court as its third woman and first Latina then judges all over the country will be coming up with excuses to miss their next bar association invite. ..Mostly, though, I read in her speeches and see in her resume the same serious tones and accomplishments that hundreds of other distinguished judges offer after decades in public service. Her speeches are filled with citations to the sources of her quotes and if her public pronouncements are a little more controversial than her actual opinions, well, she will fit in nicely with the current group of Justices, most of whom speak quite frequently - and controversially - when they do their book tours or otherwise are shilling for attention. I don't mind a Justice with a little moxie on the stump so long as his or her decisions on the bench are generally reasonable, reasonably fair, fairly consistent, and consistently obedient to the Constitution and precedent. And by that measure, what I learned today from all the pages I read is that Judge Sotomayor is likely to be as solid a Justice as she has been a judge. Try to ignore all the noise. Just read the opinions. They tell you all you need to know." [Andrew Cohen, CBS News, 6/4/09]
Washington Post: Efforts To Cast Sotomayor As "Obama's Harriet Miers" Make No Sense Given That She "Boasts The Very Qualifications That These Conservatives Claimed Ms. Miers Lacked." "On paper, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resembles one of her would-be colleagues on the high court: Princeton undergrad, Yale Law School, an editor on the Yale Law Journal, experience as a prosecutor and years of service on the federal bench. Yet Judge Sotomayor, President Obama's pick to replace retiring Justice David H. Souter, is not being compared by some conservatives to Princeton/Yale alum Samuel A. Alito Jr., widely acclaimed as smart and qualified when he was nominated. Instead, they are trying to peg her as 'President Obama's Harriet Miers,' after the nominee of President George W. Bush who took herself out of contention as conservatives savaged her reputation and raised doubts about whether she was smart enough for the job. Why is that? After all, Judge Sotomayor boasts the very qualifications that these conservatives claimed Ms. Miers lacked. Ms. Miers was in part lambasted by conservatives -- unfairly, we noted at the time -- because she did not meet the now-cliched criteria of graduation from elite schools and experience as a judge. Judge Sotomayor's educational pedigree is top-notch, and she served six years on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York before spending the past 11 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit. Ms. Miers, conservative critics complained, lacked a substantial paper trail, leading some to worry about whether she was more liberal than her record let on. Judge Sotomayor can't be tagged as a stealth candidate, given her two-decade track record of opinions on topics as varied as immigration, eminent domain, corporate law and the First Amendment." [Editorial, Washington Post, 6/2/09]
Ruth Marcus: "The Amazing Thing About The Case Against Sotomayor Is How Thin It Is." Ruth Marcus wrote, "If Sonia Sotomayor is a radical activist eager to push the law leftward or to rule according to personal whims rather than constitutional commands, she's done an impressive job of hiding it all these years. The amazing thing about the case against Sotomayor is how thin it is. The now-famous 32 words about a wise Latina judge. Her vote -- part of a unanimous three-judge panel -- against white firefighters denied promotions. The YouTube comment about judges making policy. And not much else. This is a woman with more years on the bench than any Supreme Court nominee in the past 100 years. During that time, you'd think even the most middle-of-the-road judge would have provided some unintentional ammunition for critics -- maybe freeing an especially unsavory criminal on a supposed technicality. If Sotomayor is the judicial radical of conservative imaginings, certainly there ought to be something more in her paper trail. Except there isn't -- at least from what's known so far. An examination of Sotomayor's decisions shows a careful judge who tends to rule for the government over criminal defendants; who has been skeptical of most civil rights claims that have come before her; and who, to the extent that she has ruled on cases that touch on abortion, has come down against the abortion-rights side. She's not apt to be David Souter in reverse -- a Democratic pick who turns out to be a closet conservative. But there's no evidence that she will be outside the liberal mainstream on the current court…Perhaps Sotomayor the radical has been biding her time, awaiting the day when the freedom of a Supreme Court seat would liberate her from precedent and moderation. Perhaps she'll stand on the court steps on the first Monday in October and sing "The Internationale." But the record suggests that the first outcome is just as unlikely as the second." [Ruth Marcus, Washington Post, 6/3/09]
Lanny Davis: The Convention Wisdom On Sotomayor's Ricci Position Is Wrong. Lanny Davis wrote, "By now, most people have heard - negatively - about the 2006 case Ricci v. DeStefano, in which 18 New Haven firefighters (17 white and one Hispanic) were not promoted after passing the required tests because there were no blacks whose test scores were high enough to qualify them for promotion. From a surprisingly broad left-to-right spectrum, the Conventional Wisdom punditry seems to have decided that Judge Sotomayor was wrong on the law and on allowing reverse racial discrimination, and that this case is her chief problem in getting confirmed by a substantial margin. But once again, the CW is wrong." [Lanny Davis, Washington Times, 6/15/09]

I was leaning on the kitchen counter, while Patricia sat at the kitchen table watching me eat a hardboiled egg. I took a bite and remarked: "Ah, a little morsel of heaven that was pushed out of a chicken's ass!" Almost immediately, Patricia, who's not one to argue unless she has the facts, said: "Eggs come out of a different hole, dear." An immediate offer of a bet was made: "Any amount you want to risk," accepted, "fifty bucks," and modified, "fifty cents."
I don't know if you've ever checked out the reproductive system of hens, but it is very interesting. The oviduct and the intestine run parallel to each other like an over and under shotgun. Just before the anus, the two meet. The dividing flesh between the two openings swings down out of the way to allow the egg to exit through the anus. I found this picture in the Internet:
After a very light gloating, I told Patricia a chicken story from my childhood.
One Christmas, when I was about 7, my mother brought home from the market a live hen destined to contribute her all to Christmas Eve dinner. She tied the hen from one of her legs to a water faucet with a six foot string made of sisal. There the hen lay, under the shade of my mother's potted plants, softly cackling, at first the object of my intense attention, then forgotten except for the times when my mother would call: "Give the chicken some water." Or "Give the chicken some food." In Argentina poultry lose their gender identity and all are called "chicken" by default.
On the morning of Christmas Eve, after my father left for work, --God forbid he should see the bird killed-- my mother corralled the hen, grabbed it and gave its head a quick twist. This was followed by the removal of her feathers assisted by dunking the dead bird into boiling water. Then she took the limp body to the kitchen where she used the flames from the kerosene calentador to burn the stubble.
I watched the proceedings with a mixture of curiosity and revulsion, half my farm raised criolla mother's son, half my city raised catalan father's son. With the hen now dead and denuded, my mother concentrated on cleaning her insides. She opened the bird and showed me the eggs that were in different stages of completion. You can see a picture that shows the developing eggs at the end of this post –it's pretty graphical--. The developing eggs are at the right lower quarter of the picture.
She cut the chicken legs just below the thigh and carefully exposed the tendons that lead to the feet. She showed me how by pulling and releasing the tendons, the foot would clench and unclench.
That afternoon, I played with the foot and I remember distinctly my mixed feelings of amusement and revulsion. The hen went on to become the star of the night's dinner and was well relished. In Argentina, then, chicken was much more expensive than steak so we were tired of beef and loved the taste of chicken and turkey. My mother continued to buy the occasional live bird until once when she got a young chicken, a male, too young --it was thought— to crow like a rooster. Unfortunately, the chicken was precocious and it woke us –and the neighbors— at dawn two days in a row.
Here's that picture I promised:

7 Things We Can Learn About Love From Public Speaking
7. Uniqueness. Even if you deliver the same speech to different audiences (which I don't really recommend), I bet the experience is different! The audience and the interaction you have during the speech is so unique that you better be flexible to accommodate it! How flexible are you in your relationships? The person in front of you is different than you, but I guess you know that by now! Appreciate the differences, and don't expect to be perfectly understood without some effort on your part. We are unique beings, with different backgrounds and ways of thinking. So be open to discover, be flexible and adjust if you want the most of your relationship. Getting stuck in your own point of view means you consider others thinking exactly like you do.
In any relationship everyone is right, but only partially! What do you think? :)

Hello, I'm having trouble starting my Briggs & Stratton 440000 engine on my tractor. I have the battery on full charge, past 13 volts on multimeter. Yet when I try a normal crank it fails to start. The only way I can crank her is when the battery is on full charge and I jump her with a positive clamp right on the 12v electrical starters bolt. The battery is new and is only one season old, no lead sulfate condition inside the battery, that I know of. I've tried two other car batteries and they've failed to crank the engine as well. I've checked all the wiring too. Is it the starter that needs to be replaced. If so, is this difficult to replace? |
Follow-Up Postings:
***" The only way I can crank her is when the battery is on full charge and I jump her with a positive clamp right on the 12v electrical starters bolt."*** Having done that, you have pretty well confirmed that the starter itself is good! But there might be several intermediate safety switches or interlock devices that could be preventing the starter from being operated when the key switch is turned to start. We will need some info about the tractor in question to diagnose the switches and interlocks. Those fall under the domain of the tractor OEM, not Briggs. Please post the full "technical model number" of the tractor from a decal or tag that can often be found near or under the operator's seat. Once we have that number we might be able to view an online schematic and be able to guide you through the steps in proper sequence. One generic thing you can do is to make certain the main fuse has not "blown". |
I'm having similar problem with B & S Intek 440000 in Husqvarna lawn tractor. Main 20 amp fuse blows in first key position. If I unplug charging leads to engine, turn key on & replug the fuse blows. Tractor is just over 2 yrs old and has never missed a beat only requiring new battery 6 weeks ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Similar problem? Then similarly you should do what I suggested more than 3 years ago to the original poster (anybody heard from that guy?). ***"Please post the full "technical model number" of the tractor from a decal or tag that can often be found near or under the operator's seat.

EDITED: Link to OM below. You mention charging leadS Terminal A1 provides power to/from the Voltage Regulator + fuel solenoid etc. IF you have an OHM Meter, you might want to check the fuel solenoid and any other device connected to terminal A1 for a dead short. (with fuse disconnected) |

***". If I unplug charging leads to engine, turn key on & replug the fuse blows."*** Do you mean when you "replug" the charging leads? or when you replug the fuse? And yes, as Bill states, only one of the wires is actually for battery charging. What are the wire colors in the connectors you are separating? Give the answer as colors on engine side AND colors on chassis side of each connector. Reason is so we can know the destination of the wires looking at the schematic. |
I am referring to the only loom that connects to the engine by way of 6 pin plug, although only 4 pins are utilised, with a RED wire, GREY wire & BLACK wire. |
Sorry, 4th pin is a RED wire loop. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Mon, Oct 7, 13 at 15:05
As mownie said- "Give the answer as colors on engine side AND colors on chassis side of each connector. " What color on the key side connects to what color on the engine side? Also refer to the schematic on page 29 of the OM. |
OK, can you post a photo of the connector you are unplugging? The charging wiring should be as follows for a 9 amp alternator: One black wire coming FROM THE STATOR joins to one yellow wire going INTO THE REGULATOR, there will be GREEN connectors on the black and yellow wires where they join together. The Regulator will have one red wire with a red connector that joins to the chassis harness (which carries the charging output to the battery). |
It appears problem found, 'electronic fuel management module'.....hopefully to be confirmed when I find a new one to fit. So far I have not been successful, although will call on B & S tomorrow. |
Good, please post the part number of said device and where you are able to obtain it. |
Failed part No is 796350 although this has been superseded by 796350S. Still no luck in finding one yet, may be quicker to import as I'm in New Zealand. |
Make sure you are searching using the correct part number. I ran 796350S through the Briggs & Stratton web site and they show that number has also been superseded by part # 796352S. I appears this item is an electric/electronic choke. |
Finally all up and running sweetly as before. Fitted new EFM module #796352S. B&S had previous 2 superseded modules still in stock although I opted for the latest hoping that it was an improved version. Many thanks for all your input. |
Well all good for 5mths, just blown another fuel module. Hit reverse pedal and engine stopped. Must be some sort of voltage/amp surge. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe faulty diode? |
Finally nutted it out.... Electric clutch was giving back flash so fitted new EFM and diode soldered into clutch wires to protect. Diode was a 6 amp part no. ZR 1024 |
Oh geez. I think I would be tempted to add a diode on the ground side of the EFM (module) as well. Usually when an electric clutch snubber diode goes open, it results in short lived PTO switches. When they go shorted, it usually blows a fuse, much the same as a shorted PTO clutch coil. |
Thank's for that mownie, I knew there was a reason why I purchased 2 diodes :-) |
Are wiring diagrams available for the EFM module itself? |
Not unless Briggs will furnish one to you. |
And the chance of that mownie, would be near zilch....but my problems are all over as I have just taken delivery of my new Husqvarna GTH3052TDF. And there is no EFM module in sight, it has a manual choke!!!!!!! Funny how I could not get any info off B & S re problem yet they make a change to spec. |
Still having probs even with new ride on Husqvarna GTH3052TDF) hard to start, lacks power and runs hotter than old machine. Temp on oil filter getting up to 220F and this model has oil cooler which shows very little difference between inlet & outlet pipe temp. Anyone out there able to offer any advice. Service agents here are next to useless and just want problem to fix itself!! |

So, I posted the plans for my new house in the "New Build" forum and I had a few suggestions to post a picture of my kitchen/dinning/pantry area on this forum to help me decide if this is the best layout for my kitchen or not. This is my "Dream" home as well as my "Forever" home and I don't want to make a mistake I will regret later on, so any advice, good or bad, would be greatly appreciated. My biggest concerns are where to put the microwave & the design of my hood above my cooktop. Should it be the same width as the 36" cooktop or wider than that? Currently there is 36 inches of counter space on each side of the cooktop & 27 inches of counter space on either sides of the ovens. The aisle way between the Cooktop and Island will be 45" (48" if you don't count the overhang of the countertops. and 41.5" between the ovens and the Island (42" without overhang). The current kitchen dimensions are: Kitchen: 14'8" x 13' Dining Area: 13' x 13 Pantry: 13' x 7' The Island is 9' x 5' APPLIANCES: Bosch 800 36 inch induction cooktop Bosch 800 24 inch dishwasher LG 32.5 Cubic Feet French Door Fridge (LFX33975ST) GE Profile 30" Advantium Wall Oven (240V) GE Profile 30" Convection Wall oven (PT7050SFSS) The French doors in the dining area lead out to a 14' x 14' screened in porch. Also I'm a big fan of symmetry in my house, so that is very important to me when it comes to my kitchen. FYI, the area between the fridge and the wall is a full height pantry. The area beyond the kitchen island opens up into a large great room. The doorway in the kitchen leads to a hallway that connects to the garage. Here's the URL for my entire house plans if you need them: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/build/msg0513384510221.html |

I'm sure other with more design skills than I have will jump in but, at a glance, your traffic flow appears to have some fairly serious issues. The refrigerator is in a terrible place if there will ever be more then one person in the kitchen. The sink across from the range is somewhat hazardous and, should anyone try and go through that aisle to get a drink from the fridge they'll have to pass right through both your cooking zone and your cleanup zone. It's also not convenient to sear something on the cooktop and transfer it to the ovens. I would seriously think about moving the refrigerator to the end of that cabinet run by the dining room, the oven stack to the same wall and the range to where the ovens are. Alternately move the fridge to the wall where the ovens are and the ovens to where the fridge is. |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 18:54
Wow! I guess I have a lot to learn. I hate to lose my recessed fridge, buy I understand why you would want to move it. The fridge was originally against the wall with the ovens, but it cut down on the aisle space so much between the island that we had to move it. (I refused to shorten my 9' x 5', I have dreamed of an island that size for years.) I'm also a huge lover of symmetry and I just couldn't find a picture I liked that didn't have a sink directly across from the cooktop. As far as the range being where the ovens are, call it personal preference, but I have never liked the cooktop on the shorter wall. Thank you for your recommendations, I will have to do some serious thinking. |
- Posted by happyvalleyhome (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 22:20
IMHO this kitchen doesn't function that well as is. As you like symmetry so much the first thing I would do would be to line your cooktop up with the fireplace in the great room. A nice hood there will provide a focal point at both ends of your large great room/kitchen space. Will also move it a little off center with you sink which will allow you to have more than one person in this space...I know you would lose that symmetry but think that the larger overall symmetry of the space would be more pleasing. Would definately move double ovens to where the fridge is now. Will function much better for cooking. I think the function of having the fridge against the wall where the double ovens currently are would work much better. It would allow everyone to access it without disturbing the cooking/cleaning zone. Would put it right next to the passage to the pantry so that you can have a longer expanse of counter next to it. That counter would make an excellent snack/breakfast prep zone. You could still have a full size fridge...you just have to have your cabinetry built out from the wall 6". This will impact either the aisle or island by that amt but I dont think that you would miss that 6" if it will provide a much more functional space than it is currently having the fridge in the middle of your cooking zone. I would finish that short wall cabinet run with a short wall at the end...it will provide several things...allow support to be put in so that you don't have to have quite as long a beam across that great room opening (longer the beam is the more expensive it gets!!), will hide the recess for the fridge, and will hide any kitchen clutter that may end up on that counter. Good luck! |

happyvalleyhome - I would love to move the fridge to the short wall, but the aisle would end up being only 32". I would have to cut my island length by a 10" if I did that, and I just love my current island dimensions. If I understood you correctly, you would also consider moving the fridge over by the doorway of the same wall? Would their be an issue with opening the fridge doors with a wall next to it or with the fridge doors blocking the entryway when it's open? One thing I don't understand is why I should have more counter space on the surrounding walls. That's what the island is for, right?. I have had and island in my previous kitchen and I hardly ever prepped anywhere else but on my island. I guess I just like to prep somewhere that isn't facing a wall. Is anyone else like me? |
- Posted by happyvalleyhome (My Page) on Tue, May 20, 14 at 14:09
Snookers...My advice was to have the fridge on the short wall near the door, not the long one. Since the island size is so important to you, it might not be the right choice but it would make the room function much better...is there a reason like seating that requires the 9'...8'+ is still a pretty good size island to prep at. As far as having more counter space on the surrounding wall...it might work having your main prep area on the island but your kids are similar in age to mine and it is nice for them to have a spot to prepare some thing quick in another area that allows them not to get in my way. For this reason I also like the fridge out of my main prep/cooking zone as it allows easy access without us tripping over each other. Also, I do a fair amout of prepping on my island but like to have space on either side of my range for the actual cooking time. I also like to have my kitchen set up in functional zones...I have baking between double ovens and cooktop, all cooking prep/utensils on other side of cooktop, dishes near dishwasher and dining, snack & breakfast near fridge. Hope this helps. |
That is a nice overall layout. With your love of symmetry, I strongly agree that the symmetry to focus on would be between an important element in the kitchen and the fireplace in the living room. Important element being a major window or stove hood. Not a sink, for me at least. :) No matter how much one spends for a faucet, sinks are not a decorative element and they ARE through most of meal prep the major mess collector. It IS the modern scullery, after all. My preference is always to make it nice but understate it and design for the eye to bypass it entirely as much as possible. I love having a sink wide and deep enough (29 x 9) that I can quickly sweep a whole meal's mess into below counter level when needed. Something else I'm not seeing having a compelling purpose is that hall to the right of the kitchen. It also splits the view from the living room in two uneven portions, but both open -- the kitchen and then the hall ending in a utility (pantry) door that is now outside the kitchen. Not horrible, but...lacking visual elegance? If that wall isn't critical to support, I'd seriously consider making the kitchen a corridor open to the living room. That way the island would shift right and become an elegantly simple, unbroken line of a length that pleased you. It would allow more room for extending the dining table when needed. The back kitchen wall could be organized for visual balance and elegance, as well as function. That would create a work area that was less broken up and also eliminate that asymmetrical "opening" that brings the eye directly into the messy working area of the kitchen. A lot of this is obviously about simplifying the view of a busy, working area. Everything not specifically attractive that could be moved below the counter line or into the pantry and still function well would be. Kitchens are messy most of the time people are actually looking AT them. In a fair world, inspiration pictures for kitchens that are part of one big living room would always be taken at the height of mess -- probably right as dinner is served and everyone tries to concentrate on the pretty table and ignore the cleanup waiting just feet away. As stated before, the island would effectively be shifted right and could be shortened on both ends to create a proportion you like while improving its function as a work area. (Right now I'm not seeing one great work area anywhere in your kitchen, just four possible decent areas, one of which has to serve cleanup.) Ovens could go under the counter and/or be split, putting a backup oven in that large pantry. The pantry door could be recessed and designed to quietly echo the master suite entrance -- since you've lined them up, right? I'd probably keep the refrigerator on the back wall for efficiency but move it as close to the corner as possible, panel it to "disappear," and balance its mass with something on the other end. I might make it narrow and put another in the pantry. Closing in the wall between the two ends would facilitate an architecturally special treatment for that area, which would now be well defined. No wondering "where to end the tile." If you wanted to keep the wall creating the hall, I'd still move the appliances and sink as above, including the ovens, and make the storage on that wall to the right shallower and lay it out to be handsomely decorative and uncluttered by kitchen fuss. The stove wall could still be laid out symmetrical to the fireplace wall. And since this is hopefully your "forever" house, I'd also have plumbing run to all walls and capped off, including available to the pantry. It would cost very little to add at this point, and the kitchen you wanted to update to 15 or 20 years from now could be laid out very differently. In fact, it very likely would change substantially, no matter how much you like this one for today. Change happens.New appliances are developed. Build in flexibility today. Have fun. |

Maybe something like this? Hope this helps :)

lavender_lass - Interesting idea, I hadn't thought about turning the island. I like ideas like this because at this point it is so hard for me to think outside of the box. Thank you. |
I too am an island only prepper! And just one end of it even! I have perimeter counter space, but it mostly collects dirty dishes and clutter. Although we are doing better putting things away with the new kitchen...hope it lasts. As for layout, I like my ovens near my cooktop. Easier (and safer) to move items that start in a fry pan and finish in an oven if they are nearby. And my cooktop adds a spot to land hot things from oven without pulling out a cutting board. I would try to get fridge out of corner, just brings a lot of traffic into the corner. Everyone is always in the fridge at my house. Maybe you have a smaller household so that might not be an issue for you. Have you considered putting pantry door in kitchen rather than off the hall? Just something to think about. My walk in pantry is around a corner and partway down a hall...those extra steps add up. Especially when I need something quick that I forgot to pull out ahead of time and I leave my flame to run and get it. |
Here's an idea for you: I moved the fridge towards the nook area. Moving the fridge from the center of your kitchen to the perimeter prevents anyone coming from the nook area, the great room, or the outdoor areas from crossing the cook zone to get to the fridge. I bookended that run with the oven stack and centered the induction cooktop between these two to give you the symmetry you crave. The fridge is not recessed into the wall - not possible to do with an exterior wall - but I bumped out the counter run to camouflage its bulk. The X behind the oven stack is a void space. You could also incorporate this into the pantry area. The counters on each side of the cook top are 30" deep to match the depth of the fridge. The little box behind the cook top is a niche, like this but with sides similar to those on each side of the recess behind the range in this kitchen: I moved the clean-up sink and DW to the short wall facing the nook with the sink centered on that wall. Again, giving you the symmetry you desire. The only thing that isn't centered is the prep sink. You could center this but if you can give up one thing to function over form, this is the place to do it, IMO. The island is a foot narrower to allow for the full depth fridge. Yes, I know you didn't want to decrease its size but since the clean-up zone isn't on the island, that slight loss in depth shouldn't be an issue. Plus a slightly narrower island will make it easier to clean the counter. What you gain is a kitchen that is much more functional, IMO, than your original lay-out. Just had a thought. Since this is a new build, you might be able to cantilever a shallow bump-out to recess the fridge along the exterior wall. Worth asking your builder about this possibility. |
I agree that the refrigerator has to move. You always want your refrigerator to be placed at the edge of your kitchen because it isn't something you access multiple times during cooking -- instead, it's a storage area; something into which you reach to get all your things, then you actually work in the prep area. I'd move it to the short run of cabinets on the right, and instead of recessing it, I'd make those cabinets slightly deep. It's an expense, but on that short area, it won't matter much. You'll have the island and the adjacent cabinets as "landing space". Next, I'd ask you where you envision yourself doing your prep work -- for most people, this is the most time consuming of your cooking chores, and it requires some space. I personally MUCH PREFER to prep facing "out" instead of towards the wall, and I prefer to have a good light but nothing else hanging over my head. So ideally, I'd prep on the island. Since your drawing shows the sink eating up much of the island space, you can't do that "as is". Here's how I'd get that prep space in this set-up: I'd downsize the range to a standard size, which would allow space for the sink and the range to share that longest run of cabinets. That'd leave the island free for prep work, and I'd have the two main appliances "behind me" while working. I like that you have no corners in this kitchen. This is a BIG money saver in terms of cabinets, and it's more efficient than a can't-reach-that-deep corner or a lazy susan. A whole different idea: How about losing the short run of cabinets . . . and enlarging the island, but taking it all the way to the wall. This essentially makes the kitchen into a galley. You'd still have traffic flow through the hallway to the right, and you'd have room for the sink AND prep space on the island . . . with the stove and range behind you. OR a different whole new idea. Lose the short run of cabinets on the right . . . and enlarge the island but keep the walking space between the island and the wall. Don't discount these two ideas until you've drawn them out on graph paper and walked through them. I think the first one's the best. I'm going to bed right now, but I have to go to a very boring meeting tomorrow, and I think I'll entertain myself by drawing out a sketch. One final thought: If you look on the internet at basic kitchen layouts, this isn't any of them. Do go through them and consider what you like about each one -- they are standards, basics for a reason! They work! And don't look with confirmation bias; that is, the idea that you're trying to defend the thing you think you already want. |

So obviously everyone is in agreement that the fridge needs to move, and I think the only way to do that is to decrease the size of my island. :( MrsPete - You have very good ideas as well. I've posted a picture of what I think you were talking about (Sorry it's blurry, but you get the idea). I had to shorten the island to only 8', but the way you mentioned does give me more prep area. The island is still 5' long. The aisle between sink and island is 48" and between ovens to island is 42". I don't think that I've ever seen a kitchen with the cooktop and sink on the same wall though. Does this look okay? Does anyone else have this set up and if you do, do you like it? I also added a large window above the sink and dishwasher, but the view isn't that great, it stares into my neighbors yard. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Fri, May 23, 14 at 17:38
Lisa's layout is the most functional of all of them presented. The work zones are clear. There's no cross or through traffic, and the workspace on the island is along the long side of it, where it needs to be. It's the pick of the litter. |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Fri, May 23, 14 at 17:38
lisa_a - Thanks for the sketch, I like it. I really like that the sink is off of the island, but do people really like doing their dishes facing a wall? Also, putting the sink here doesn't really give me much counter space by the sink. Here's a picture of your sketch in my plan. Of these two kitchens, which one do you guys all like best? |
By my calculations, you'd have 21.5" on one side of a 36" sink cab and 26.5" on the other (1" end panel next to DW, 1.5" counter overhang). That's workable for a clean-up zone, IMO, especially because it's not doing double duty as your prep area. You've got a huge island for that (lucky you!). That said, is there a reason why you can't extend the clean-up sink wall a foot or two so that you could have at least 30" on each side of your sink? Lots of GWers don't have their sink under a window and are quite happy with that set-up. Do a search for threads on the topic to learn more and to see pics of their kitchens. I've linked to one of the many threads below. btw, studies show that most people spend the bulk of their time (I think it's 70%) doing meal prep. Moving the prep area to your island means that you'll have a nice view for that time-consuming task. Just had a random thought: you could cut a hole in the wall above the sink for a "window." Perhaps something like this: Thanks for the compliment, LWO! |
Here is a link that might be useful: No window over sink
- Posted by lavender_lass (My Page) on Fri, May 23, 14 at 22:38
Lisa- I like your plan! And I love this last picture...it would be wonderful to see the stairs and keep an eye on the kids IMHO, while doing the dishes...and it provides a sight line through the little window to the eating area and porch. Well done! :) |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 2:50
lisa_a - I think I'm liking your plan more and more. However, somehow you and I are getting different dimensions for the sink counter top run. Maybe we are counting different inches of wall space on either side of the door? Here's my breakdown |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 3:04
lisa_a - Oh, and I forgot to mention that extending that short wall is a good idea as well. Originally I was aligning the end of the short wall to that wall on the opposite end of the kitchen where the dining room begins. Do you think it would look funny not having those walls lined up? Would it look like the counter top was extending into the great room and not staying in the kitchen, if you know what I mean? |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 13:28
Okay, so here's a better picture of lisa_a's kitchen layout idea in my floor plan. I think I'm falling in love with it. I'm so excited to get the sink off of the counter and I've looked at several photos of sinks against walls without windows and I think I can make this look really great. A few changes I made were: (Also I'm basing these changes and measurements on my current kitchen plan that has a length of 14'8" and 13' wide. I am adding 11" to the sink wall though beyond the 13'.) 1. I think I should be able to still get a 9' x 4'6" Island? I am only adding 6" to the long run of cabinets to make it 30" so I should only have to take 6" off of my island's depth. (I know this will only make my space between fridge and island 42", but I think I would rather have the larger island, but what do you think?) 2. I increased the Length of the wall that the sink will be on. The total length of that counter top will be 26.5" on each side of the 36" sink which makes the run equal to 89". The wall the sink is on will increase by 11". (I was wondering though, should I put end panels at the end of each side off the countertops to keep the sink somewhat blocked from the great room? Just an idea.) Everything else is the same as what lisa_a drew up. Thank you lisa_a for your great idea! |
I composed an answer to you earlier and then - idiot me - I forgot to post it (didn't sleep well so I was not thinking clearly this morning). My initial drawing was based on the info you provided in your OP: 27" of counter on either side of the oven stack, which I assumed was 30". That's 84" total. 84" Keep in mind that you'll likely have about 2" of counter on each side of the sink to add to the counter widths (I'm assuming you are doing an undermount sink) so you'd have approx 28.5" and 23.5" of counter next to your sink. But then I realized that that my numbers won't match yours because I did not shift the doorway over, as it seems you did in your more recent plans. So, yeah, that would make your sink run 6" less than I had envisioned. I think increasing the wall span to make up for that is the right thing to do. Your FR looks large enough that a foot or so won't impact it at all. The only issue you might encounter would be if you will have different flooring - wood in one area, carpet in the other - in this large, open area. The threshold between these two floors would not line up with the DR wall as it initially did. I don't think that would be a huge deal but I'm not as keen on symmetry as you are. If that's the case and it will be an issue for you, I see two solutions. The first would be more costly overall. Increase the DR width by the same amount, which would impact the upstairs and roof line. The 2nd is cheaper. Build a small bump-out in the exterior wall for the fridge's depth. Then that run stays the same depth, the door doesn't shift over and you would have 84" on the sink wall. If your aisle is 42" from island counter edge to fridge door handles, that would be best. If it's 42" from island counter edge to fridge door, that would be second best. If it's 42" from island cabinets to fridge door, not so good, because your aisle will in actuality only be 40 1/2". That's not much more than the depth of your fridge so moving it in and out of place will be more difficult (heaven forbid it ever needs service but you should plan on that possibility), plus it creates a pinch point here. You have a large kitchen: don't cheat on clearances. Oh, one last thing. Make sure you keep at least 42" between island counter edge and DR wall corner. 48" would be better. You do not want to create a pinch point here either. A few inches off the island will be much less missed than a few inches taken from that aisle or the one in front of your fridge. I'm glad I was able to help you! (Thanks, LL!) |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 18:05
lisa_a - You have been a lifesaver. I don't mind bumping out the wall the sink will be on a little because my floors will all be the same throughout my kitchen/great room/entry way. So it won't be a huge deal if the walls don't line up. As far as aisle clearances - yes, I will have 42" from the fridge handles to the island. 48" from cooktop counter to island. There will be 42" between sink and island, like you said. Also from the corner of the island to the dining room wall there is 44" currently. If I changed the island from 4'6" to 4', it would give me 48". That is definitely something to think about. Oh, and my husband said he loved your idea of the opening above the sink, so kudos to you! |
- Posted by Snookers1999 (My Page) on Sat, May 24, 14 at 20:05
Wow, something I just discovered - Fridge clearance requirements. Does anyone ever take in to account the aisle width when they are counting their entire fridge depth PLUS THE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS IN BACK OF THE FRIDGE? The fridge I wanted needs 2" of rear clearance, which makes the fridge I wanted stick out 38" into the aisle instead of 36", which decreases my aisle in front of the fridge to 40". Plus a 30" fridge cabinet will no longer suffice since the 30" case depth of the fridge just got pushed out 2" for the clearance requirements. So, if I'm doing my math right, if I don't want to see the "gray" sides of my fridge, I have to build a 32" deep fridge cabinet. Has anyone else had this same experience before? |
How about a counter-depth fridge? Samsung makes a few models. I replaced my old Thermadore with one of these. It's great, and only the depth of the door itself sticks out past the counter (it would have to, so it can open). |
If you're going to follow the clearance instructions - always a good idea - you should take that into account when planning your aisle clearances because that will impact your aisle clearances IRL. I echo mominHI's suggestion of looking at counter-depth fridges. If that doesn't suit, then I again suggest burying the extra depth of a full size fridge in a small bump-out in your exterior wall. Glad your husband is on board with the interior window over the sink idea. I love it, too! Best of luck with your build! Please come back to post finished pics of your kitchen once your home is built. I've helped quite a few people with their kitchen designs and sadly, few of them come back to post the finished result. It's kind of frustrating, like seeing only the beginning of a movie. We all love to drool over finished kitchens. |
- Posted by GreenDesigns (My Page) on Wed, May 28, 14 at 14:14
This is why no kitchen designer will do a design without the actual appliance specs. Inches matter. And specific clearances cannot be determined without specific appliances being plugged in. |
Good point, GreenDesigns. That's why hubby and I plan to buy our appliances before we start our remodel so that we know they will fit the cabs designed for them. |
GREAT observation Snookers. >> Wow, something I just discovered - Fridge clearance requirements. I'd suggest keeping the plan for a regular size fridge (vs counter-depth) and change pantry plans to accommodate the displacement back. Then you have a un-interrupted path in that all important aisle. |

Herrings with Caper Stuffing
You can, if you are lucky, buy herring fillets for this recipe. If not, boning is quite easy (see link at the end of the recipe).
Serves 4
Ingredients |
4 herrings (about 8 oz/225 g each), gutted |
1 oz (25 g) butter |
For the stuffing: |
3 oz (75 g) fresh white breadcrumbs |
1 level teaspoon mustard powder |
3 level tablespoons finely chopped parsley |
zest of 1 lemon, finely grated |
juice of ½ lemon |
1 level tablespoon capers, rinsed, patted dry and chopped |
1 oz (25 g) butter |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
salt and freshly milled black pepper |
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7, 425ºF (220ºC). |
Oven temperatures and Conversions |
Click here for information |
Equipment |
You will also need string to tie the herrings and a well-buttered, shallow baking dish. |
This recipe is taken from The Delia Collection: Fish
To make the stuffing, first mix the breadcrumbs, mustard powder, parsley, lemon zest and juice, and capers together in a large mixing bowl. Now heat the butter in a frying pan and soften the onion in it over a low heat for 10 minutes, before adding it, together with its buttery juices, to the breadcrumb mixture and seasoning everything with salt and freshly milled black pepper.
Now open each herring out flat, and spread a quarter of the stuffing down one side of each one, then fold the other side back to its original shape. Using string, tie a short length in three places around each fish to stop the filling from falling out while the herrings are cooking.
Then put the fish in the buttered baking dish, place a knob of butter on each one and bake near the top of the oven for 15 minutes, basting once with the buttery juice.

What I think …. Jets Quick Hits 6/6 – Revis' Purple Book; Osi Spewing; Making fun
Posted by Erik Manassy on Jun 6, 2012 in Quick Hits | 0 comments
Here are some random quick hits for June 6th with my quick thoughts on each topic.
Darrelle Revis has a special book that he uses to make himself special, and it's purple.
Osi loves to talk about the Jets.
This comic was pretty funny.
Hit 1: Revis and his Purple Notebook
The purple spiral notebook is a diary of sorts for all of Darrelle Revis' secrets. It's where the All-Pro Jets cornerback keeps his own set of scouting reports, notes on everything from quarterback tendencies to receiver reads to body language.
Tuesday nights are Revis' time to get an "identity" for an opposing offense. Within that designated hour, he scribbles myriad observations, and his preparation only intensifies as the week goes on. Each season brings a new notebook. And this year, it's a purple one. Yes, purple.
"What? What's wrong with purple?" he asked, laughing in between bites of his spaghetti.
Revis is great. You can probably say he's one of the best in the league right now, I do.
I think he's the top CB in the league hands down SO with all his hold out talk, do you get aggravated or do you read stories like this and say, yeah he's worth it!?
Thanks for checking in to read my posts. If you like this web site and would like to see what else I have to offer, be sure to browse on over to our other Jets blogs by Jets Twit!

Hit 2: Always Talking about the Jets, huh Giants?
Now that he knows he's going to remain with the Giants for at least one more season, Osi Umenyiora has no problem speaking out on the team that shares MetLife Stadium, saying the Giants "do things a little differently'' than the Jets.
"We go out there on the football field and play," Umenyiora said last night on NFL Network's "Total Access." "The Jets, they're a good football team themselves, but they have a lot of things going on that a lot of people are interested in, and they're more interested in that than us going out there and actually winning the Super Bowl.
"So, there's nothing wrong with that. Much respect to the New York Jets. Hopefully, things will keep on going that way." Via the NYPost
Hit 3: Poking Fun and That's OK!
Earlier today, we posted a blank cartoon and readers offered their captions. Our favorite was by commenter Left Coast Packman. Please check your ESPN.com profile message center for an email.Via ESPN Fandom
So I found this section on the ESPN web site called "Fandom" and have been a fan of the segment. The cartoonist will post a new blank entry in the morning and then in the afternoon will select the best quote and fill it in. So it was a matter of time that they did a "JETS" theme and I'm sure this won't be the only time.
I like the jokes on the Jets. It means the team is relevant if everyone is talking about them. (See Osi above)
By the way, in the comic, Mark won't be overthrowing the receivers. Just saying.

When You Win The Coin Toss/Racket Spin, Do Choose To Serve or Receive?
Jul 9th, 2006, 02:16 AM
I choose to receive. I'm always so nervous at the start, and my return is much better than my serve. :sad:
Jul 9th, 2006, 02:17 AM
Receive! My serve is actually pretty decent but I still rarely hold...

i like to serve
Jul 9th, 2006, 02:21 AM
I choose to serve. I play doubles and serve and volley. I would much rather be serving and be in the offensive position.

Recieve, everytime, dont matter who im playin :)
Jul 9th, 2006, 07:06 AM
Receive! My serve is semi-decent when it goes in... which doesn't usually happen. I can demolish weak serves, though :lol:
Also, my volleys are like... Sharapova-caliber. So, serving and volleying doesn't usually come up in my games.
Jul 9th, 2006, 07:10 AM
well, by serving first, you always have the chance to break back if broken.
Jul 9th, 2006, 07:18 AM
You left out the option of letting your opponent choose.
Jul 9th, 2006, 07:21 AM
receive. like to get a feel for the match, swing out at a few returns without having the pressure of having to win the first game or be down a break.
Jul 9th, 2006, 07:25 AM
Receive... at my level, serving doesn't really have any advantage.
I'm a rhythm player as well, so I also like to have a few hits before I start serving.
Jul 9th, 2006, 08:29 AM
Jul 9th, 2006, 09:34 AM
Singles - Receive
Doubles - Serve
I'm not sure why but it always works for me that way
Jul 9th, 2006, 09:51 AM
Jul 9th, 2006, 10:10 AM
recieve. reason? crap serve
Jul 9th, 2006, 12:19 PM
i always serve first. I'll usually hold serve, so if i break my opponent when i am up 5-4, that's the set, however if i break to make 5-4 i will have the pressure on my serve of having to hold. does that make sense?
Meteor Shower
Jul 9th, 2006, 12:22 PM
Serve, although I break much more. I want to start positively and offensively.

Shot on location in Iceland, Dan Holdsworth's Untitled (Hyperborea) series unfolds like an elaborate set from a science fiction film. Picturing the landscape at night, the eerie lighting effects are not the result of computer manipulation, but rather the natural occurrence of the Northern Lights bathing the barren, volcanic countryside. Photographed with long exposures, Dan's landscapes develop a supernatural glow, making the mountains and rivers appear alien and atomic; the recognizable features of distant buildings, cars, and passing airplanes lend a disturbing familiarity to the apocalyptic scenes.

Each piece tells a unique story of the heroes who will lead their countries on the pitch this summer along with an artistic representation of each of the 32 team nicknames. The artwork is a celebration of the unbridled passion that only the World Cup can evoke around the globe.
Michael Kutsche is an award-winning German artist based in Los Angeles, California. He is a self taught artist who works both in traditional and digital media. His work is best described as an astoundingly lifelike depiction of parallel realities, populated by odd characters reminiscent of movies, comics but also Flemish Renaissance Painting. His unique approach of imaginative character creation has led him to become a character designer on Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland", "John Carter of Mars", directed by Andrew Stanton and "Thor", directed by Kenneth Branagh. Parallel to his career in the film industry he still keeps track of his own projects, including paintings for future exhibitions, book projects etc.
Andreas Rocha from Portugal created all this concept art and illustrations. Travel as in 'day dreaming'. His work puts the focus on fantasy environments, instead of characters, thus allowing the viewer to descend into these vast mountains, lush fields and glaciers.

Summary: ''Integrating both Maori myth and New Zealand reality, The Bone People became the most successful novel in New Zealand publishing history when it appeared in 1984. Set on the South Island beaches of New Zealand, a harsh environment, the novel chronicles the complicated relationships between three emotional outcasts of mixed European and Maori heritage. Kerewin Holmes is a painter and a loner, convinced that ''to care for anything is to invite disaster.'' Her isolation is disrupted on ...show moree day when a six-year-old mute boy, Simon, breaks into her house. The sole survivor of a mysterious shipwreck, Simon has been adopted by a widower Maori factory worker, Joe Gillayley, who is both tender and horribly brutal toward the boy. Through shifting points of view, the novel reveals each character's thoughts and feelings as they struggle with the desire to connect and the fear of attachment.''--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Annual Dinner & Distinguished Guest Lecture
Special Guest: Nick Mangold
Sinclair Conference Center
April 29, 2015
Reception: 5:30 p.m.; Dinner: 7 p.m.
Recognized as one of the National Football League's best offensive lineman, Nick Mangold first established himself during his days as a three-sport athlete at Archbishop Alter High School. Having grown up in Centerville, Ohio, Nick played both offense and defense for the Knights and was named first-team All-Ohio his senior year. After graduation, he was selected to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
He continued his career at The Ohio State University, where he was a three-year starter and co-captain his senior season. In 2006, he was drafted in the first round (29th overall) by the New York Jets and was the first player ever to start the entire season at center for the organization.
More information and online registration will be posted on this site at a later date.
About the Academy of Medicine
The Wright State University Academy of Medicine is a community-based service organization dedicated to supporting excellence in medicine through education, research and service. The Academy contributes to student loans and scholarships, recognizes outstanding examples of professionalism, and provides opportunities for fellowship in the medical community. Since its founding in 1977, the Academy of Medicine has made a difference in the lives of students at Wright State University's Boonshoft School of Medicine. Thanks in part to the Academy's dedicated annual and life members, the school remains a catalyst for better health care by preparing outstanding physicians. The organization supports medical education through providing student loans and awarding student and faculty achievement. Through membership, the Academy has circulated $2 million in student loans — saving over 400 students the high costs of commercial loans. With loan repayments and Academy memberships, nearly $125,000 is being added to the pool annually. All this comes from an annual membership of $250. In addition, physicians in their residency qualify for a discounted associate membership of $50.

Acaddemy of Medicine Distinguished Lecture, April 23, 2014
Special guest: J.R. Martinez
Long before J.R. Martinez won legions of fans as the winner of Dancing with the Stars in 2011, he was inspiring audiences of all kinds with his remarkable story.
Born to a single mother from El Salvador, his dream was to become a professional football player. His plans were derailed by a sports injury. So he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he was assigned to the 502nd Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. Martinez saw it as a way to give back to a country that already had given so much to him and his family.
In March 2003, J.R. was deployed to Iraq. Less than a month later, the Humvee he was driving hit a land mine. Three other soldiers were ejected from the burning vehicle, but Martinez was trapped inside. Suffering from smoke inhalation and severe burns to 34 percent of his body, Martinez spent the next 34 months in recovery, undergoing 33 different surgeries, including skin grafts and cosmetic surgery.
Martinez has spoken at events nationwide. His message of resilience and optimism has inspired a wide variety of organizations, including corporations, veterans groups and schools. In 2008, Martinez joined the cast of ABC's Emmy Award-winning daytime drama All My Children as combat veteran Brot Monroe. The show incorporated portions of Martinez's real life into its fictional storylines.
Student and Faculty Awards
Each year, the Academy of Medicine presents awards to outstanding students and faculty. The awards are presented each spring at the Annual Dinner, based upon academic achievement for the current year.
View the past winners of the Academy of Medicine Awards.
Low Interest Loan Program
The Academy of Medicine's low-interest loan program for Wright State medical students is one of the best available anywhere in the nation. It has the lowest interest rate (5 percent) and the longest deferral of payment (three years after graduation).
Since 1985, member-supported Academy programs have generated $2.5 million in simple-interest loans to over 400 Wright State medical students. Used strategically in place of more expensive loans that compound during medical school and residency, Academy loans have saved medical students $448,800 in additional debt burden. What's more, the Academy has a 99.8 percent pay back rate on its loans.
Scholarship Fund
The Academy of Medicine has created a new scholarship fund to address one of the Boonshoft School of Medicine's highest priorities: philanthropic support for scholarships. As the cost of attending medical school continues to climb nationwide, Boonshoft School of Medicine graduates are now entering residencies with an average debt of more than $174,000. This new scholarship fund was created to help reduce their reliance on costly loans to cover their tuition.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles
Subscribe to our Nanotechnology Spotlight feed
If you ever had problems with the (non-removable) battery in your iPhone or iPad then you well know that the energy storage or power source is a key component in a tightly integrated electronic device. Any damage to the power source will usually result in the breakdown of the entire device, generating at best inconvenience and cost and in the worst case a safety hazard and your latest contribution to the mountains of electronic waste. A solution to this problem might now be at hand thanks to researchers in Singapore who have successfully fabricated the first mechanically and electrically self-healing supercapacitor.
Posted: Mar 10th, 2014Researchers report the fabrication of flexible, durable, and self-assembled graphene textile electrodes for supercapacitors using a novel wet-spinning approach of ultra large graphene oxide liquid crystals followed by heat-treatment to obtain graphene fibers. The key to producing such fibers and yarns is to preserve the large sheet size even after the reduction of GO while simultaneously maintaining a high interlayer spacing in between graphene sheets. These graphene yarns could lead the way to the realization of powerful next-generation multifunctional renewable wearable energy storage systems.
Posted: Mar 7th, 2014The desire to identify materials and their properties to understand complex systems and better engineer their functions has been driving scanning probe microscopies since their inception. Both atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy are techniques used to gather information about the surface properties and chemical information of a sample. There are many reasons to combine these two technologies, and this application note discusses both the complementary information gained from the techniques and how a researcher having access to a combined system can benefit from the additional information available.
Posted: Mar 6th, 2014The integration of consumer electronics with advanced imaging and analytical platforms holds great promises for medical point-of-care diagnostics and environmental rapid field testing for pollutants and viruses. A recent example is a Google Glass application and a server platform for instant, wireless diagnostic testing of a variety of health conditions and diseases. This technology allows Google Glass wearers to use the hands-free camera on the device to send images of diagnostic tests that screen for conditions such as HIV or prostate cancer.
Posted: Mar 4th, 2014More serious than the common cold, influenza viral infection has been responsible for major epidemics and pandemic respiratory disease in communities around the world. These epidemics come with substantial morbidity and mortality, accounting for 250,000 to 500,000 worldwide deaths each year and are particularly dangerous for vulnerable and elderly populations with statistics showing that 90% of those who succumb to the severe illness are 65 years and older. The flu is also associated with high health care costs. In the U.S., more than $80 billion dollars is spent annually as a result of influenza epidemics.
Posted: Mar 3rd, 2014The term printed electronics refers to the application of printing technologies for the fabrication of electronic circuits and devices, increasingly on flexible plastic or paper substrates. Traditionally, electronic devices are mainly manufactured by photolithography, vacuum deposition, and electroless plating processes. In contrast to these multistaged, expensive, and wasteful methods, inkjet printing offers a rapid and cheap way of printing electrical circuits with commodity inkjet printers and off-the-shelf materials.
Posted: Feb 27th, 2014Inspired by a particular folding technique called rigid origami, researchers have demonstrated foldable silicon solar cells. The fabrication process utilizes mainstream high-temperature processes to fabricate high-performance stretchable electronics. In this approach, high-performance functional devices are fabricated on rigid surfaces and do not experience large strain during deformation, and these rigid surfaces are joined by serpentine-shaped interconnects that allow for a full-degree folding and unfolding, which enables deformability.
Posted: Feb 26th, 2014Nanotechnology has made great strides in biology and medicine in the past year. Here is a list of the top 10 developments in Nanodermatology in 2013, as compiled by the Nanodermatology Society. These topics will be the subject of multiple talks and two sessions at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting on March 21-25, 2014 in Denver. This, however, is just a sampling of the topics to be covered and world class speakers in medical nanotechnology.
