George Washington the Man
Countless witnesses attest that, however astonishing Washingtons many particular qualities of mind and character might be, the sum was even greater than the parts: The whole man somehow magnified the individual virtues of which he was composed. His courage, energy, high principles, and steadfastness; his impartial justice and utter trustworthiness; that he was calm in the face of danger and dauntless in adversity; that he would sacrifice repose for fame and fame to duty; his thoroughness in deliberation and mastery over his strong passionsthese and his other distinguishing characteristics, laudable in themselves, are elevated still further as they are harmonized in the mind and character of Washington.
The two verbal portraits of Washington that follow draw together several of the most widely noted qualities of Washingtons mind and character into pictures of the man himself as he acted on the stage of Americas destiny. These portraits are drawn by knowledgeable contemporaries. One is a public eulogy by a Massachusetts FederalistFisher Ames; the other a private letter by a Virginia RepublicanThomas Jefferson.
Selections from Fisher Ames Eulogy of Washington, February 8, 1800[14]
Commemorating Washingtons life, Fisher Ames spoke of Washington as one of "that small number" of men "who were no less distinguished for the elevation of their virtues than the luster of their talents. . . who were born, and who acted through life as if they were born, not for themselves, but for their country and the whole human race."
Echoing the young officers who served with Washington in his youth, Ames said that, even as a young man, Washington had "acquired a maturity of judgment, rare in age, unparalleled in youth. Perhaps no young man had so early laid up a lifes stock of materials for solid reflection, or settled so soon the principles and habits of his conduct. . . ."
Speaking of Washingtons five year service (aged 21 to 26!) as commander of the army of Virginia, Ames says: "[A]t a time when youth is almost privileged to be rash, Virginia committed the safety of her frontier, and ultimately the safety of America, not merely to his valor, for that would be scarcely praise, but to his prudence. . . ."
From his earliest days, then, "[t]he soul of Washington [was] exercised to danger; and on the first trial, as on every other, it appeared firm in adversity, cool in action, undaunted, self-possessed. . . .
"We have seen him display as much valor as gives fame to heroes, and as consummate prudence as insures success to valor; fearless of dangers that were personal to him, hesitating and cautious when they affected his country; preferring fame before safety or repose, and duty before fame. . . . ."
In the great crises of the American revolution and founding, "some man was wanting who possessed a commanding power over the popular passions, but over whom those passions had no power. That man was Washington. Consider, for a moment, what a reputation it was, in 1789; such as no man ever before possessed by so clear a title, and in so high a degree. His fame seemed in its purity to exceed even its brightness. Office took honor from his acceptance, but conferred none. Ambition stood awed and darkened by his shadow. . . .
"This is not exaggeration; never was confidence in a man and a chief magistrate more widely diffused, or more solidly established. . . .
"The best evidence of reputation is a mans whole life. We have now, alas! all Washingtons before us. . . . When it is comprehended, it is no easy task to delineate its excellences in such a manner as to give to the portrait both interest and resemblance; for it requires thought and study to understand the true ground of the superiority of his character over many others, whom he resembled in the principles of action, and even in the manner of acting. But perhaps he excels all the great men that ever lived, in the steadiness of his adherence to his maxims of life, and in the uniformity of all his conduct to the same maxims. These maxims, though wise, were yet not so remarkable for their wisdom as for their authority over his life; for if there were any errors in his judgment, (and he discovered as few as any man,) we know of no blemishes in his virtue. He was the patriot without reproach; he loved his county well enough to hold his success in serving it an ample recompense. Thus far self-love and love of country coincided; but when his country needed sacrifices that no other man could or perhaps would be willing to make, he did not even hesitate. This was virtue in its most exalted character. . . .
"His preeminence is not so much to be seen in the display of any one virtue as in the possession of them all, and in the practice of the most difficult. Hereafter, therefore, his character must be studied as a model, a precious one to a free republic.
"His prudence was consummate, and seemed to take the direction of his powers and passions; for as a soldier, he was more solicitous to avoid mistakes that might be fatal, than to perform exploits that are brilliant; and as a statesman, to adhere to just principles, however old, than to pursue novelties; and therefore, in both characters, his qualities were singularly adapted to the interest, and were tried in the greatest perils, of the country. His habits of inquiry were so far remarkable, that he was never satisfied with investigating, nor desisted from it, so long as he had less than all the light that he could obtain upon a subject, and then he made his decision without bias.
"This command over the partialities that so generally stop men short, or turn them aside in their pursuit of truth, is one of the chief causes of his unvaried course of right conduct in so many difficult scenes, where every human actor must be presumed to err. If he had strong passions, he had learned to subdue them, and to be moderate and mild. If he had weaknesses, he concealed them, which is rare, and excluded them from the government of his temper and conduct, which is still more rare. If he loved fame, he never made improper compliances for what is called popularity. The fame he enjoyed is of the kind that will last forever; yet it was rather the effect, than the motive, of his conduct. . . .
"Such a citizen would do honor to any country. The constant veneration and affection of his county will show, that it was worthy of such a citizen. . . ."
Thomas Jefferson remembered Washington fourteen years after his death, in a letter of January 2, 1814, to Dr. Walter Jones.[15]
". . . I think I knew General Washington intimately and thoroughly; and were I called on to delineate his character, it should be in terms like these.
"His mind was great and powerful, without being of the very first order; his penetration strong, though, not so acute as that of a Newton, Bacon, or Locke; and as far as he saw, no judgment was ever sounder. It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion. Hence the common remark of his officers, of the advantage he derived from councils of war, where hearing all suggestions, he selected whatever was best; and certainly no General ever planned his battles more judiciously. But if deranged during the course of the action, if any member of his plan was dislocated by sudden circumstance, he was slow in re-adjustment. The consequence was, that he often failed in the field, and rarely against an enemy in station, as at Boston and York. He was incapable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the calmest unconcern. Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw a doubt, but, when once decided, going through with his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good, and a great man. His temper was naturally high toned; but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendancy over it. If ever, however, it broke its bonds, he was most tremendous in his wrath. In his expenses he was honorable, but exact; liberal in contributions to whatever promised utility; but frowning and unyielding on all visionary projects and all unworthy calls on his charity. His heart was not warm in its affections; but he exactly calculated every mans value, and gave him a solid esteem proportioned to it. His person, you know, was fine, his stature exactly what one would wish, his deportment easy, erect and noble; the best horseman of his age, and the most graceful figure that could be seen on horseback. . . .
"On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect, in nothing bad, in few points indifferent; and it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited from man an everlasting remembrance. For his was the singular destiny and merit, of leading the armies of his country successfully through an arduous war, for the establishment of its independence; of conducting its councils through the birth of a government, new in its forms and principles, until it had settled down into a quiet and orderly train; and of scrupulously obeying the laws through the whole of his career, civil and military, of which the history of the world furnishes no other example. . . .
"These are my opinions of General Washington, which I would vouch at the judgment seat of God, having been formed on an acquaintance of thirty years. . . .
"I felt on his death, with my countrymen, that verily a great man hath fallen this day in Israel."

First Look: 'ZombieLand' Shows Off Zombie Basics
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 12, 2009 | (8) CommentsWhat do you need to have a great Zombie flick? There are books and books out there discussing the topic, but somehow these pictures for Zombieland perfectly expose the necessities. Luckily, earlier in the evening, we invited Quint from Aint It Cool News over to Reject HQ to watch a The Worst Witch/Murder By Death double feature, beat him over the head with a brick, and stole his images. Did we need to attack him to take the images off his site? Hell no. Consider it a cherry on top. Plus, he sort of looks like a zombie now, so he's probably geeking out about that – so no hard feelings.
So check these out. You've got…
- A crew of misfits with shotguns
- A guy desperately trying to get into a car with zombies a few inches away
- A crazy gun enthusiast who loves killing stuff
- A baseball bat to the skull of a somnambulist in a supermarket
Yes, they are all essential elements to any good zombie picture. Looks like director Ruben Fleischer has the foundation laid for what might be a solid little zombie comedy in Zombieland. As you can tell from the pictures, it features Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. Amber Heard is also in it, so I'm guessing Neil will use that as an excuse to surf for pictures of her.
What do you think?

Federer trying to re-energize game in Cincinnati
MASON, Ohio (AP) -- Roger Federer usually feels good when he arrives in Cincinnati for a tournament he has won more times than anyone else. Not so much this time.
Federer is trying to reconstruct his game and keep his back healthy this week at the Western & Southern Open, a Masters series tournament he has won an unprecedented five times, including last year.
The Swiss star suffered a stunning loss to a player ranked 116th in the world during the second round at Wimbledon. He's switched to a bigger racket, gotten upset in other tournaments and struggled through a sore back. He dropped out of the Rogers Cup in Montreal last week.
Martina Hingis continues her comeback in doubles at the tournament, which began Sunday afternoon with two men's matches.

'Captain Phillips' Trailer Shows the Softer Side of Somali Pirates
Movie News By Adam Bellotto on August 8, 2013 | Comments (1)There's a new trailer online for Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips, so if you've been feeling any urges to see Tom Hanks sport a wicked goatee and a somewhat-believable Southern accent (or you just want to see him face off against a band of Somali pirates), do yourself a favor and check it out. This trailer and the previous one open more or less with the same footage (minus a shot and a line of dialogue here and there), but about halfway through, this new trailer veers off into uncharted territory. The rest of the footage is all based around Phillips' relationship with the lead pirate, and their time together in the lifeboat where the hostage situation famously ended. Frankly, it's exciting stuff. Every conversation has the potential to launch its characters into panicked violence, and the trailer's last few moments tease the standoff's end (even if some of the quicker cuts are a little incomprehensible). It doesn't even seem to matter so much that this trailer walks us through entire story; something that's become far too frequent nowadays. Much of this is just a continuation of what we saw in that first trailer. Yet there's one new element here that's absolutely, 100% brand-new, and that's the trailer's sympathetic eye towards its lead pirate. Captain Phillips doesn't portray him as a bloodthirsty agent of random violence. Instead, he's just a guy whose hand was forced a long, long time ago. He's not a pirate by choice. It's his only life choice. Check […]
'Enough Said' Trailer Shows Off the Romantic Side of the Late James Gandolfini
Movie News By Nathan Adams on August 6, 2013 | Be the First To CommentChances are there are quite a few things that James Gandolfini is going to be remembered for as an actor. But if there's one big thing that really defines the bulk of his performances, it's how he was always able to let little bits of vulnerability and sensitivity shine through, even as he was mostly being defined as a hulking, physically intimidating presence. Well, one of the last films Gandolfini made before he passed away, Enough Said, seems to take those smaller aspects of his personality and bring them completely to the forefront in order to make him a romantic lead. Gone completely is that element of danger that often comes from a Gandolfini performance, and in its place is a guy who comes off as a huggable sad sack. I mean, really, just try to get through the scenes here where Julia Louis-Dreyfus is picking on him for his eating habits without wanting to pat his head and give him a balloon. It's impossible.
'The Croods' Trailer Lets Nic Cage Scream Like a Crazy Cave Man
Movie News By Scott Beggs on December 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWith a monkey slapping a man, a young girl going crazy for shoes, and a cranky grandma, The Croods isn't straying too far from the formula for harmless family comedy. It just happens to feature the world's first family. Nic Cage voices Grug, the pater familias of the pre-historic crew that includes his wife Ugga (Catherine Keener), daughter Eep (Emma Stone), son Thunk (Clark Duke) and mother Gran (Cloris Leachman). Everything is safe and isolated in their cave until an earthquake forces them on an adventure into beautiful, lush new territory where they meet a citizen of the brave new world voiced by Ryan Reynolds. The new trailer is fun in a sweet way, selling a movie about taking risks by playing it as safe as possible. Still, Dreamworks may have a new winner on their hands:
'A Late Quartet' Trailer Shows Off a Fantastic Cast Making Difficult Music Together
Movie News By Scott Beggs on September 11, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIf Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christopher Walken, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir and Wallace Shawn were in a movie together, would you go see it? Director Yaron Zilberman (Watermarks) is even throwing in Imogen Poots for free. This excellent ensemble formed for A Late Quartet, the story of four world-class string players who struggle to stay together. The official synopsis uses the phrase "insuppresible lust." Hopefully it's between Walken and Hoffman. Or hopefully it's the kind that causes a massive rift between two or three people. That might be the case, as this absolutely gorgeous trailer shows. It's intense and makes a powerful impact with a striking metaphor. Having Beethoven in its corner doesn't hurt either. This, right here, looks like must-see filmmaking from a new director and a veteran cast.
Will 'JCVD' Age Better Than 'Being John Malkovich' When It's Over a Decade Old?
Features By Nathan Adams on August 14, 2012 | Comments (3)Being John Malkovich was an amazing success story upon its 1999 release. Not only was it a critical darling that got nominated for a bunch of awards, but it also successfully launched the big screen careers of a music video director named Spike Jonze and a lowly TV writer named Charlie Kaufman. In case you didn't know, those guys have gone on to be big names, and Being John Malkovich earns quite the pedigree by being the start of their careers. On a personal level, I walked out of the movie in '99 shocked at how unique and inventive it was, and loving how it melded progressive filmmaking with a comic sensibility. Revisiting it all these years later though, I realize it hasn't aged as well as I'd hoped, and I find myself wondering if it still deserves the level of reverence that it gets. Mabrouk El Mechri's 2008 film JCVD didn't get near as much buzz or recognition as something like Being John Malkovich. Maybe that's because a big chunk of it wasn't in English, or maybe it's because it just wasn't as good—that's debatable. But the opinion that it showed us a different side of its star, Jean-Claude Van Damme, was pretty universal, and it seemed like it was going to be something of a rebirth for the action star's career. It's four years later though, and nothing has really come of it. The man has still been largely relegated to straight-to-video action movies, and any of the […]
Charlie Kaufman's 'Frank or Francis' Has Fallen Apart (For Now)
Movie News By Scott Beggs on June 27, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIn an interview with Moviefone, Elizabeth Banks had some sad news to deliver: Charlie Kaufman's Frank or Francis "fell apart at the last minute." Banks was set to co-star along with Catherine Keener, Nic Cage, Jack Black, Steve Carell and Kevin Kline. The film was to be an exploration of filmmaking, Hollywood culture, criticism, and probably a dozen other things but more importantly…it was new, original work from Charlie Kaufman. The Playlist has learned that the movie is simply postponed, but it's time to start drinking nonetheless. Why? Because there's no such thing as "dead" in filmmaking; only "postponed." Of course, that comes with the optimism that Kaufman can make it happen one day. Hopefully soon.
'Peace, Love & Misunderstanding' Trailer Puts Three Generations of Acting Talent on Display
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 26, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAt first glance, Peace, Love & Understanding looks like your typical indie film. The focus is on characters – relationships between parents and their children, budding romances – and the humor mostly comes from a political place, throwing uptight suit-and-tie types in a confined space with characters who are on the extreme left and watching them all chafe against each other. Chances are you could watch its first trailer and feel like it was an advertisement for a film that you've seen a hundred times before. That is, if it didn't have such an appealing cast. They kind of set the project apart. Well-worn material or not, it's pretty hard to catch wind of a movie that's cast Jane Fonda, Catherine Keener, and Elizabeth Olsen as three generations of very different women and not get a little bit excited. With Fonda and especially Keener, you have a couple of acting veterans who always bring the goods in anything they do. And with Olsen you have a hot young performer who is going to have the eyes of Hollywood on everything she does, at least for her next few projects. Factor in that the leading ladies are being directed by a solid old hand in Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy, Mao's Last Dancer) and Peace, Love & Understanding looks like it's going to be a safe risk when you're deciding what to hand your movie money over to.
Kate Winslet Is Not in 'Frank or Francis,' But Catherine Keener and Elizabeth Banks Are
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 30, 2012 | Comments (1)A few days ago I reported on a story that two former female leads from Charlie Kaufman movies would both be working with the writer again, this time on his next directorial effort Frank or Francis. It turns out that was only half right. While Catherine Keener does appear to be attached to the film, buried in a report about Paul Reubens joining the cast is confirmation from THR that Kate Winslet has not. That's a pretty big blow to my enthusiasm for the added girl power that this movie would have gotten by casting both Keener and Winslet, and the inclusion of Pee-Wee does little to soften the blow. Fortunately for me, there's some more news that does soften the blow a bit. In another report, THR says that Elizabeth Banks has joined the cast, and in a role that sounds like it has some potential for hilarity. As we know already, Steve Carell and Jack Black are playing the title characters, a director and a film blogger who come into conflict with one another over a series of bad reviews. Well, it appears that Banks will be playing the Carell character's girlfriend, an actress who keeps making "formulaic comedy bombs." Seeing as the focus of this movie is the world of filmmaking vs. the world of film criticism, I'm imagining that Banks' character will provide some delicious jabs sent the way of actresses like Kate Hudson and Katherine Heigl, the undisputed queens of the formulaic comedy bomb.
Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener to Tackle Charlie Kaufman Material Again in 'Frank or Francis'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on January 26, 2012 | Be the First To CommentCharlie Kaufman's directing followup to Synecdoche, New York has been in the casting stage for a while now, and already it has compiled an impressive core of male actors. Names like Steve Carrell, Jack Black, and Nicolas Cage have attached themselves to the picture, and Kaufman has even made a play at securing Paul Blart. So far there's been a lack of news about who might play any of the female parts, however. This movie, that seems designed to take the wind out of our movie blogging sails, was looking like a real sausage fest. That's all changed in a big way though. Vulture is reporting that two phenomenal actresses, Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener, have just signed on to join an already stellar cast. That's some added girl power that might take even the Spice Girls aback for a minute. News of Winslet and Keener's involvement on any project would be met with quite a bit of enthusiasm already, but when you factor in that both of these actresses have worked very successfully with Charlie Kaufman material before, things kind of get kicked up a notch.
"Tell me what you like about my body," came a shy voice from behind me. I mulled that sentence over for a moment. It seemed like such a strange request considering I already thought the guy was sexy enough to lay next to in my birthday suit. Not to sound like a Christina Aguilera video here, but I couldn't stop touching this man and the post-activity head spins weren't adequately allowing me to sum up how much I enjoyed his company. And bluntly, would saying how attractive I found him really change how he felt about himself? A few days later I had time to reflect on this jarring moment. It was the first of its kind for me, and I haven't experienced anything like it since. Of course men have these questions of body image, but I've never been with someone who felt so comfortable (or maybe uncomfortable) as to ask what their partner preferred about their physical appearance. Being a nerd who refuses to live in the real world, I couldn't help but compare this real slice of life with a film that for all intents and purposes hasn't really stayed in the minds of many viewers.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: April 1, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on April 2, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr recovers from a full day of watching Armageddon back-to-back to crawl back to the multiplex. He re-lived the last eight minutes of Source Code over and over, thoroughly confusing himself. Then he stumbled into the theater next door to learn about the true meaning of Easter from Russell Brand and James Marsden. Things take a decidedly creepy turn when he watches Insidious and wets himself more than once. This led to a very unfortunate scene while he watched the sexual-predator cautionary tale Trust. No one would believe him it was just wee wee.
Interview: Liana Liberato Talks 'Trust'
Features By Kevin Carr on March 31, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhen most people hear David Schwimmer's name, the first thing they think of is his bumbling character Ross on NBC's mega-hit Friends. Sure, there's a couple fans of Simon Pegg that will stampede to his directorial debut of Run Fat Boy Run, but we all know that most will think of his television work. Well, Schwimmer is distancing himself further from situation comedies with his new film Trust, which opens in limited release on April 1. Trust takes a darker angle than the bulk of Schwimmer's body of work, telling the story of a teenage girl who is targeted by a sexual predator online. Finding the right star for a film like this is as challenging as getting a story about such a sensitive subject made. For the role, Schwimmer turned to then-14-year-old Liana Liberato to play the teenage lead of Annie. Liberato took some time to speak with Film School Rejects about how she handled such an emotionally challenging role.
Many of us remember David Schwimmer from the television series Friends, but he has since dipped his toes into directing. His second feature, following up the comedy Run Fat Boy Run, is the drama Trust, which deals with online predators. Starring Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and newcomer Liana Liberato, Trust tells the story of a fifteen year old girl who is targeted through text messages and social networks. One of the first cities in which Trust will open is Columbus, but FSR will be giving away free tickets to an early screening of the film before it opens anywhere else. If you live in the Columbus area, you can get your hands on a ticket that allows you into a super-secret screening of Trust on Thursday, March 31 at the AMC Lennox at 7:30 PM.

'Trust' Trailer Finds Clive Owen Out To Catch And Sodomize A Predator
Movie Trailers By Rob Hunter on August 3, 2010 | Comments (2)I don't actually know for sure that Clive Owen's character is interested in sodomizing the predator in question, but judging by the man's past roles I have to imagine he's weighing the option. Trust features Owen and Catherine Keener playing parents to a precocious teenage girl who likes to chat online with strangers. Silly girl. One of the teen's cyber pals turns out to be a violent pedophile who buggers her without asking permission and shatters the family's false sense of security. This upsets Owen, and I don't think the rapist is going to enjoy what happens next. The trailer is below and sadly looks pretty generic… aside from one thing. Watch the screen at the 1:35 mark and be prepared for the trailer's (and probably the film's) biggest surprise. Check after the jump to watch the trailer for Trust…
I've gotten a bit tired of John C. Reilly doing so many comedies recently. Don't get me wrong, he's a damn funny man who elevates everything he's in, but I've been increasingly afraid that a man with as strong of dramatic chops as he will continually fall into typecasting through the short-term memory of Hollywood. Enter Cyrus, the first high-profile, star-studded effort by those kooky mumblecore kids Jay and Mark Duplass.

Consider the Season of Your Birth for What Ails You
If you're celebrating a birthday this month, you're more likely to be nearsighted than those born in the winter.
But if your birth date falls in February, March or April, the news is more distressing: Winter and early spring babies have a greater risk of developing schizophrenia than summer-born ones.
Strange coincidences? Esoteric astrological claims? Neither.
As unlikely as it sounds, a growing body of scientific research shows the month you were born can predispose you to certain traits, affecting everything from your personality and mental health to your lifespan.
Although there's no empirical evidence showing a link between the signs of the zodiac and a person's susceptibility to disease, Christopher Renstrom, author of "Ruling Planets" (Harper Collins, $18), reminds us that "astrology is a calendar that gave us the four seasons from which we derive the four temperaments: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. Personality profiling comes from the zodiac. It's the first form of it."
The association between birth season and health, meanwhile, has been confirmed repeatedly by studies published in peer-reviewed journals.
It was first noticed with the neurological disorder schizophrenia; subsequent research has shown the month of birth can influence your risk of suicide and chance of developing certain cancers, Crohn's disease, coronary heart disease and brain tumors, says psychiatrist Emad Salib of Peasley Cross Hospital in Britain, the lead author of a study in the British Journal of Psychiatry linking birth in late spring to suicide.
Literature reviews, meanwhile, show that more patients with schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and narcolepsy are born in December and January. Those with affective disorders _ alcohol dependence, autism, dyslexia and multiple sclerosis _ are reported more frequently in those born during spring and summer months.
"The question for the research community is no longer, Does season of birth influence health outcomes?" said psychiatrist John McGrath of the University of Queensland, whose work has linked schizophrenia to winter birth dates in three- to four-year cycles. "We have known the answer to this question (is yes) for decades."
What they don't know is exactly how birth seasons affect mental health and disease. Unlocking this mystery is the next task for scientists who hope it will lead to new strategies for preventing serious illnesses and disorders.
A mother's health is the root of several possible explanations. For instance, the fetal origins hypothesis holds that early environmental conditions in utero and during infancy can program human immune development. Some of these factors include a mother's access to fresh vegetables or vitamins, or her exposure to an infectious disease such as influenza that might harm the brain of a developing fetus.
More recent research has centered on the star we're all born under: the sun. The amount of sunshine a mother receives or the effects of temperature could affect her hormone levels, some scientists suggest.
Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in the brain in response to darkness, is suppressed by sunshine. Salib has speculated that having too much melatonin could trigger changes in the brain that increase a person's chances of committing suicide later in life.
A lack of sunlight, which leads to low vitamin D levels, could be another factor. Sunlight stimulates the production of vitamin D, which fetuses need for brain development. But in many places, including Chicago, winter sunshine is in short supply.
"We have robust evidence that low prenatal vitamin D alters brain development and adult behavior in rats and mice," said McGrath. "With respect to humans, the jury is out."
Light exposure also can change the balance between dopamine and melatonin, said Israeli researcher Yossi Mandel and his colleagues, who showed that babies born in summer months had increased risks for moderate and severe myopia or nearsightedness.
The dopamine-melatonin balance "is known to participate in the eye-growth control mechanism," Mandel said. "Altered eye growth pattern, such as larger eye length, can be associated with myopia."
In some cases, though, the reasons might not be biological at all. Autumn-born children are about 9 percent more active than those born in the spring, according to a paper published in the British Medical Journal. But this is likely due to the age at which children start school, said lead researcher Calum Mattocks of the University of Bristol.
"Children born in autumn will tend to be the biggest, strongest and most developed in their school year," he said. "So they are more likely to do better in sport, which may motivate them to stay active. Later born children may struggle to keep up, so they may get 'turned off' by games and exercise."
Of course there will always be October-born people who are sedentary and June babies with perfect vision. Season of birth research is in its infancy, so it shouldn't weigh into family-planning decisions.
But for women, increased vitamin D intake might be a way to counter negative effects of birth seasons, said Bruce Hollis, a professor of pediatric nutritional sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina.
"The amount of vitamin D in prenatal supplements is dangerously too low," he said. "Every woman should take 2,000 units a day, and possibly more."
Astrology, once regarded as a science, is nearly impossible to test in controlled laboratory conditions. That hasn't stopped researchers _ most likely those curious Geminis and Virgos _ from trying.
One scientist investigated the link between Libras and renal disease. Nothing. And German researchers compared personality traits with the signs of the zodiac, only to find that astrology is popular with earthlings because "even modern people are inclined toward magical thinking."
"Astrology is not religion, nor is it a science," said astrologer Christopher Renstrom, author of "Ruling Planets" (HarperCollins, $18). "The key to understanding the seasonal temperaments is the planets, not the zodiac signs."
In fact, people have identified with their zodiac sign only for the last century or so, Renstrom said. Before that, an Aries would have said, "I was born under Mars,""Mars is my ruling planet" or "I'm a child of Mars."
"Anyone born under Mars was considered hot under the collar, passionate and ready to get out and do," Renstrom said. "Mars' temperament is 'sanguine': easily aroused, excitable. This was connected to the spring season; Mars rules Aries, which is the sign of the spring equinox. Spring is all about beginnings and falling in love and pursuing anything new."
And despite a lack of scientific credibility, plenty of people believe astrology holds clues to our health. Aries, Leos and Sagittarians, for example, are healthier than, say, Cancers, Pisces and Scorpios because "the first threesome are fire signs, which promise high energy and vitality; the other three are water signs, ever-changing, moody and drifting lifelong toward emotional and mental instability _ factors that affect health," said astro-intuitive Albert Clayton Gaulden, founder of the Sedona Intensive, a life-coaching seminar.
If you believe in the power of the mind to heal, "the air signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius have the capacity to will themselves to get well _ and to recover more quickly _ through the power of concentration," said Gaulden. "And earth signs, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, are more akin to the earth itself," which means they have a predisposition to health issues, he said.

Ne-Yo — "One In A Million"
Seriously, what is this woman's problem? A talented, handsome, flexible musician serenades you with a halfway decent R&B song, and you keep turning him down? Sure, he's coming on strong, but the man certainly knows how to bust a move while wearing a suit. Give him a chance!
Plus, did we mention he also apparently has super powers for some unexplained reason?
The video ends with a title card reading "To Be Continued." So expect some closure on the next video of yet another Libra Scale track.

The Little Reef proves that Coral Room owners John Nadasdy (the chef, ex of Rapids Restaurant and Lodge in Grand Lake) and Nick Mystrom (the former pro football player-slash-contractor responsible for the buildout) knew what they were doing when they opened this second location. Everything about the place -- from the kids' room to the movie nights to the everything-by-the-glass wine list, fashionable cocktails and Metropolitan Home decor -- is calculated for a restaurant meant to thrive in a highly specific niche: the sheltered, insular world of the planned retail/residential community.
That's genius. That's playing to your strengths and minimizing your weaknesses. That's knowing your ecosystem and being the best damn freak-ass flying monkey-lizard you can be.
Now if only the kitchen could get its act together, the place would be unstoppable.

While the Stapleton restaurant looks entirely new, its menu is the same one served at the original Coral room, a dated Asian-Southwestern-Californian fusion that jumbles steaks and curries, lemongrass, mussels and sambal. Yes, there was a time when the Coral Room's food would have been cutting-edge in any neighborhood. But that time was ten years ago, and today, corn soufflés, chile-apricot sauces, coconut tempuras and wasabi mashers are old tricks for any new restaurant to be trying, tired stunts that might still play in a city farther down the culinary food chain than Denver (Omaha or Indianapolis, perhaps), but no longer viable in a town where all the grubniks read Gourmet and Food Arts and know better. Even as a retro gimmick, these trite tricks don't work, because other kitchens out there are doing the same things better -- although none are within walking distance of Stapleton.
In failing to follow any straight-line culinary path (like French-Vietnamese or even Chinese-Peruvian), the Coral Room's menu reads like flailing, like an unbridled (and misguided) enthusiasm for world cuisines by a chef and a kitchen badly in need of having their access to the Food Network curtailed. I mean, if you're going to put a cheese plate on a heavily Japanese-American menu (the Coral Room offers brie wrapped in phyllo, served with lavosh crackers and pear chutney), why not do goulash, too? And blini. And cassoulet decorated with California rolls. The trout with mangoes, almonds and vanilla makes no sense at all. The house's tuna stack -- marinated ahi tuna layered with avocado, mango salsa, pepper purée and cilantro paste -- nails two of my pet peeves at the same time, touching on both my loathing of '90s-style vertical food and my terror in the face of too many gastronomic traditions jammed into a single dish. And the kitchen insists on using broccolini as a vegetable side, despite the fact that I have never, ever, ever met anyone who's eaten a piece of broccolini and enjoyed it.
Right at the top, the menu lists a coconut curry served over a timbale of jasmine rice. I was doing timbales almost a decade ago at a hotel restaurant -- which means it was old even then, proven palatable for even the least adventurous eaters. But there was nothing challenging about this curry; it was weak and soupy. And the "Asian vegetable medley" that made up its bulk wasn't, unless they've recently started growing fat carrots and red bells in the mysterious East. The honey-soy and brown-sugar-glazed chicken was soggy -- tasting more boiled than grilled -- but came with a nice (and fairly original) tray-cut portion of scalloped sweet potatoes. Wonderful mashed sweet potatoes accompanied the well-handled pork chop, which was dressed with a chile-apricot sauce that echoed the Kikkoman sweet-and-sour sauce that my parents kept on the second rack of their refrigerator for years when I was a kid. The sauce was tasty, but unless the kitchen was deliberately copycatting sticky, 1980s ersatz Asiana, it's working from a playbook decades out of date.
The lobster-and-shrimp cake tasted great, even though it was falling to pieces as it reached the table, mounted over limp, decorative greens on a plate doodled with Nagel smears of chive oil and squeeze-bottle lemongrass and chile sauces. A gigantic filet mignon had been marinated in ginger and soy, glazed with an excellent Indonesian sambal demi that would have been better if the kitchen had showed a little restraint and not spackled the stuff on so heavy, then set over a mushroom-risotto cake wrapped in sautéed spinach leaves -- a nice move.
The filet was the best dish I tried at the Coral Room. The spring rolls were the worst -- were, in fact, possibly the worst spring rolls in all of Christendom, all ugly and lopsided and huge. Under normal circumstances, that might be a good thing, but no one wants an appetizer that's both awful and generous. I would have needed six napkins just to hide all the parts I didn't want to eat: stiff rice-paper wrappers; crunchy rice noodles that had obviously been incompletely par-boiled, then left to languish in a cold table; tender, cold beef-filet end cuts that would've been a good textural counterpoint to the carrots and the cucumbers if the guy on the mandolin had checked to see that the blade was set right. Instead of thin, uniform sticks of vegetable, I got chunky, inconsistent slabs of them, mostly cut only halfway through. And the "Thai dipping sauce" was just plain nasty.

i have received a gift of 'lotusland'
i repotted it - as the outer leaves look a little soft - the inner young ones look fine, can someone give me a guide to how often i should water it -as i have never owned a 'lotusland' |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pelargonium can wilt if it's not getting enough water but also if it's getting too much water. The best thing to do is wait till the soil surface is completely dry to the touch (it can still be damp underneath), then water it thoroughly, then don't water again until it's the surface dry to the touch again. In my experience with them, wilting from drought is accompanied by slow yellowing/dieback of the older leaves, and the plant will gradually shift toward near-dormancy or dormancy with healthy firm stems but few leaves. So if it is wilting but does not seem to be losing the old, lower leaves to yellowing, there may be too much water. However, new plants often go through a bit of "shock" when they are in a new environment, with new levels of light, temperature, etc, and that can also cause wilt until it adjusts. If the plant is getting enough direct sun to produce lots of herbaceous new leaves and growth, it can handle excess water better, and you will have better luck without having to fine-tune your watering routine. |

makes me think
about how the government shut down Lester Roloff children's homes.
A classic example of the unrestrained use of government force against a child care facility occurred in 1984, when the State of Texas attempted to completely shut down three children's homes run by Pastor Lester Roloff. He, like Pastor Silevin before him, refused to allow the state to license his homes for the children who had been voluntarily placed there by their parents. The state of Texas went to court, but in 1981 a state district judge denied its request for an injunction against the Pastor's homes, concluding that the licensing procedure as applied to the church running them would violate the constitutions of both the United States and Texas. The federal Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision.
However, the state Supreme Court rejected the churches' contention that licensing would interfere with religious freedom. The Chief Justice did not object to the quality of the care provided by the Roloff homes; his concern was the simple fact they would not submit to licensing. He noted that the homes have "a good record of high quality service," and that they could "easily satisfy licensing requirements, but had chosen not to do so."
So the state wanted certain restrictions on the care provided children in Pastor Roloff's homes. Several of those restrictions were so incredible that they show that the majority reason the state went after the child care facilities was simply that they were too successful.
The first of these restrictions was (not a complete list):
"You should not threaten a child with the displeasure of a deity."
In other words, you couldn't tell a child that he was a sinner. Remember that these children had been placed in these homes because they had become disciplinary problems to their parents. The parents, who had seen their children become involved in prostitution, drugs and criminal activity, had turned to the Pastor for help in turning their child around. They turned to him because he was a Christian Pastor, and because he had demonstrated success in hundreds of similar cases before. These parents loved their children and wanted them to stop their criminal and anti-social behavior. They cared for them enough to voluntarily place them in a program that had proven successful. Only a very small percentage of these children had been placed in these homes by the court system.
One of the reasons the Pastor was successful was because he turned the children to religion. But the state told him he could not use that as a method of correcting the child.
The second restriction was:
"The institution shall see that each child is provided with personal clothing suitable to the child's age and size. It shall be comparable to the clothing of other children in the community."
The Pastor and his staff felt that much of the clothing the children were wearing was too suggestive and improper. So they attempted to provide the children with modest clothing less stimulating and provocative. They felt that this restriction would place the children back into the clothing that in many cases had caused them to have problems before their arrival at the Roloff homes.
The third restriction was:
"Children should be encouraged to form friendships with persons outside the institution."
It would be fair to observe that such friendships were frequently what brought the children to the homes in the first place.
The fourth restriction was:
Pastor Lester Roloff - Man of God"The opinions and recommendations of the children in care shall be considered in the development and evaluation of the program and activities. The procedure for this shall be documented."
Letting the inmates run the prison sounds like an excellent idea until the prisoners suggest that the restraining bars should be removed. Many of these children had become discipline problems mainly because they had decided that they could best run their own lives. When this determination had failed, the parents placed them into Pastor Roloff's homes so that they would learn some discipline. But the state wanted them to learn how to run their own lives again.
The purpose of all this incredible pressure on the Roloff homes appeared to be the desire of the state to weaken the ability of the Roloff homes to be successful with these troubled children. A secondary purpose appeared to be the desire to weaken the family, and encourage the state to devise methods that would remove the control of the children from the parents and to give them over to the state.

by James Slater - Heavyweights David "The Hayemaker" Haye and Monte "Two Gunz" Barrett came face-to-face today at a press conference to promote their fight in London. Both men were pretty much respectful of one another, and there were no theatrics or bad blood. A lot is on the line for both men, and whoever loses on November 15th at The O2 Arena will be looking at retirement. Haye shocked many people today when he admitted as much on camera. "If I can't beat Monte Barrett, I will retire from boxing," Haye said. Saying there would be no point in carrying on with his heavyweight goal of challenging world champion Wladmir Klitschko if he failed at the first big hurdle, Haye made it clear he knows how much is at stake in his fight with the 37-year-old Barrett.. Later on, on Steve Bunces' Boxing hour TV show on Setanta Sports, Barrett said he has so many different personalities and fighting styles when he enters the ring, no-one is ever sure which version will turn up. And, as footage of his quick KO of Tye Fields ran, Barrett explained how he wasn't even fighting aggressively before he landed his bombs and took "Big Sky" out. "I was fighting smart," Monte said. So, which version of "Two Gunz" will Haye face in November, and will "The Hayemaker" have his chin tested, as he said today he expects will be the case? With these two fast-handed big punchers anything could happen. Haye wants an explosively quick win, and he said he thinks he will get one. In reality, Haye NEEDS a spectacular win. After all the talk he's been giving us over the past few months, anything else simply will not do. Haye must win quickly and he must win impressively. As he said himself today, the talking has stopped and now it's time for the fighting. But we all know how an overeager fighter can run right into trouble. It's not too hard to imagine an overconfident Haye coming out in round-one thinking only about landing his bombs while forgetting, only for a second, about the bombs - or Gunz - of the man in front of him. Barrett, with his still swift hands, may only need one chance. Haye spoke about how Barrett is a good opponent for him because he'll come at him. This may not be the case, however. As he pointed out with regards to the Fields fight, Barrett was backing up before lowering the boom. Monte is a very good counter-puncher and Haye had better be careful he doesn't walk into something as "Two Gunz" fires off the ropes. Another scenario I see as a possible is Haye jumping right on Barrett, but simply getting his man out of there before he has even a chance to settle. No doubt about it, a 1st round KO win for Haye is a very strong possibility. But that's the beauty of this fight; a 1st round KO win for Barrett is almost as strong a possibility. Haye must be made favourite. He is younger, should be faster and he hits with, as his manager/trainer Adam Booth puts it, " A different kind of power." The big question mark next to the 28-year-old is, of course, his chin. How will it cope at heavyweight, and how will it cope if Barrett lands a bomb on it the kind he hit Fields with? We don't know, and we will only find out on November 15th - at least we'll find out IF Barrett is able to connect. This one will likely come down to who lands first. Will it be an advancing Haye who scores first, or will a counter-punch land as a clever old veteran sets a trap for the former cruiserweight? I think we will get our answer inside the first three minutes come the 15th. Whoever wins, and I really think a good case can be made for either man, it will be quick. Don't blink could well be the best advice to take on the night!

The Queensland Tourism Industry Council is urging the Federal Government to help the struggling sector.
Representatives from the tourism and mining industries will meet the Minister for Tourism, Martin Ferguson, at a forum in Brisbane today.
The council's Daniel Gschwind says it is important tourism does not get overlooked.
"We employ more than twice as many people in the tourism and hospitality industries than the resource sector does now in even difficult times for the tourism industry and that employment and that regional and local economic benefit from the tourism industry continues to flow," he said.
Mr Gschwind says workers are leaving for better paying jobs in the mines.
"That's from masters of ships who may have driven tourism boats before and now drive boats that supply and support the resources sector," he said.
"We lose coach drivers, we lose hospitality staff and that is an issue we need to address."
Ross Contarino from Townsville Enterprise says the Federal Government needs to fund more domestic marketing campaigns.
"The only growth markets that we can see, is a lot of 'drive tourism'," he said.
"People are saying, 'well there's a lot of things happening around the world so let's stay here and have a driving holiday'.
"Certainly the caravanning and RV [recreational vehicle] market are real growing industries.
"Probably the other industry that's streaking ahead at the moment is the cruising industry."

I've lost count of the number of times that the scientific consensus on whether or not there's liquid-phase water on Mars has changed, and that's just within the span of me blogging here at Futurismic (so, six years or thereabouts). But it looks like we just flipped back toward certainty, as images from NASA's Mars [...] Follow Futurismic on Twitter for more nuggets of near-future fun an

NASA has yet to find liquid water on Mars, but analysis of the soil where the Spirit Rover became stuck last year suggests liquid water flowed through the soil — and fairly recently. More » Read Post
We've known for a while that there are frozen water deposits just beneath the surface of the Martian poles, but now it seems that there are seasonal streams of liquid water that wind across the red planet's surface. Today, a group o... Read Post

This past spring, I planted 11 Monterrey Oak trees on my property outside Austin. I have been watering pretty consistently, with a schedule of once every three days. Each time, I leave a light trickle from the hose onto the base of the tree for about 15-20 minutes. Overall, my 11 trees are doing very well, with pretty consistent leaf growth and generally look better than I would have expected with the drought we've been having. However, one tree has developed a problem that seems like rot at the base of the tree (extending from the ground up about a foot), with significant discoloration. The picture below shows the problem. There is a layer (about 3") of pine mulch around the base of the tree, but I left a little bare ground at the very base. This particular tree was a 15-gallon, about 12' tall tree planted in the first week of March. Other than this "rot" at the base, the tree appears to be healthy, with fresh leaves appearing pretty regularly. Any advice appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think it's going to be hard for anyone to be sure from a photo. One real possibility, I think, is Aleurodiscus oakesii, "smooth patch," which is a fungus growing on dead bark and not harmful to the tree. But whatever it is, it has the look of fungus. I would question that watering method. Fifteen minutes of light trickle every three days sounds to me like it keeps the top soil wet but doesn't do much for the tree. Consider a thorough soaking until the water begins to stand before slowing running in, and doing that once a week in this weather with such a new tree. Maybe leave the mulch pulled back for a while and see if the white goes away. Just my first thought. |
Thanks. I'll look into the fungus. Unfortunately a picture is all I have since I can't take the tree to the nursery. Regarding the watering, I probably understated how much water I am giving the trees by using the word trickle, because there is normally some standing water when I finish. I would imagine the flow is about a gallon a minute, give or take. As I said, all the trees are doing pretty well except for this one problem, so I'm not sure I have a watering problem. |
You may want to post your picture on the tree forum and see if they have some ideas too. |

I have been told 10 gallons once a week ....BUT if it is on very porous limestone soil, 5 gallons Twice a week during the first year when it is hot. I think one out of 11 is damn good gardening on a year like this. |

Hello All, I am looking for a knockout stuffed mushroom recipe for a small dinner party we are having. It needs to be seafood-free. I happen to make a fairly tasty one, but for some reason the caps always come out soggy. TIA for any help |
Follow-Up Postings:
My favorite stuffed mushroom recipe Bleu Cheese Mushrooms Remove stems from mushrooms and chop. Cook stems and onions in butter until tender, but not browned. Add bleu cheese, 2 Tblsp. bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Fill mushroom caps with mixture. Sprinkle w/ remaining bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350Âş for 12 minutes. Yield: 6 servings. |

Not a recipe but some info on cooking them. High heat seems important like some of the recipes suggest, to get rid of the moisture quickly? I've had some great ones and some rubbery ones. I stopped trying but understand now what i was probably doing wrong...too low temp and letting them sit in juices. Love them and nice to see good recipes. I pared some roasted ones with caramelized onions and tossed in some cubed gorgonzola off the heat last week for a 'great American burger' topping. I think i can add them to a beef stew again after giving up years ago because DH was picking them out...the slimy little rubber balls. |

One of my oldest T&T recipes is for stuffed-mushroom caps. They are relatively easy to make a day or so ahead, and then you merely pop them in the oven for 10 minutes or so and serve them. Bob's Magical Mushrooms Remove stem and cut away the lower half of the mushroom exposing the gills At this point you can refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 400 deg F One thought about your mushrooms getting soggy, I only ever use a mushroom brush to clean the mushrooms before making this dish. If you wash them off under running water, they will soak up water and are much more likely to be soggy. |
I guess I do mine the hard way, but mine were always soggy. I use a recipe very similar to Sharon's recipe above but I bake the mushrooms a bit while sauteing the mushroom stems & onions. There is almost always some liquid in the mushroom caps that I add to the onions & cook some more. Seems to add a bit of flavor I think. Still, an extra step. |
- Posted by happylady1957 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 11, 13 at 11:29
Oh, these recipes look so wonderful! I will follow the advice about high heat, as that seems to be key to avoiding sogginess. Bacon, cheese, green onions. How can I go wrong? You guys are the best! |
I always sauteed the caps briefly, 3 min.? (depends upon size and freshness) in butter before stuffing. Last Xmas eager to try a friend's and lo they were watery. No pre-saute. |

I have two 36" draswer stacks in my plan but am wondering if they are too large. Would 27" be a more manageable width? I dread the thought of things getting lost in the drawers because of their size. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have 27" and would have loved 36". I use them for my pots and pans. You can always subdivide the drawer if needed. I don't think 36" is too big. |
No, it's not. Even 42s are good. (But maybe not in the middle of things...) |
It all depends on location and how many people use the kitchen at the same time. I keep prep tools such as can openers, garlic presses, meas cups/spoons in the shallow drawer above our 39" wide pots and pans drawer. If 2 of us are prepping at the same time, both of us have to move every time either of us wants something out of one of the drawers. It would have worked better if I had divided the top shallow drawer into 2 smaller ones instead of 1 wide one. |
- Posted by countrygirl217 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 15:54
I love my 36" drawers! I have two under my cooktop that house my pots and pans and on the other side I have three sets of drawers on my long wall with 36" drawers. I love them! So much more funcitonal that cabinets and size allows me to use one for all my tupperware, one has snacks, one has dishes, one has kid cups/plates/bowls. |
I have 36" drawers under my rangetop for pots and pans, but the largest anywhere else is 30". It all depends on where they are and what you want them for. I wouldn't want such large drawers for small utensils, but they're great for small appliances, baking pans, pots and pans, etc. For some wider drawer stacks we did 2 small drawers across the top to have smaller areas for smaller items. |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 17:20
I posted on this same subject last year when faced with 38" ish drawer stacks. I ended up going with stacks that wide, and I love them. I also have a 36" stack under my rangetop. Back in January, another member posted about wide stacks. I'll link her thread below in which I posted a link to my old thread. Lots of info between those two threads. |

I have two 36 inch drawer stacks. They both have two half-width upper drawers and two full width lower drawers. Nothing ever gets lost inside - partly because they are full extension. |
Not for me! I love my 36ers! I have two 36" deep drawers under the cooktop for pots and pans. Everything fits, and I don't have to fight handles and lids to find the pot I want. Nothing gets lost because the drawers are fully extending, which allows me to see everything. I also have 36" wide drawers on my banquette. I think they are FAB! |

Another yes vote. I have 3 36" 3 drawer stacks. LOVE them! |
I have a 40" stack. So far, so good! |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Mon, Jun 4, 12 at 22:37
Thank you all for your input! I was a little worried because the 36" stack closest to the peninsula will open in front of the sink meaning that you can't open the drawer if someone is standing in front of the sink. But I don't think there is any way to really avoid that problem regardless of what cabinet goes there. |
I have 2-36", 2-12" (ick), 1-27", and some miscellaneous drawers. You can always subdivide them, but you can't make them wider or deeper. There you go. |
I don't remember your layout, but if you could shift a shorter drawer into that corner, something like 15-24", and keep the larger drawers farther out, less storage would be blocked by someone standing there. BTW, I love mine too. |
- Posted by francoise47 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 6:55
I have base drawers that are 27" wide, 33" wide, and 36" wide. I like them all a lot. And they all have their uses. But I like the 33" wide the best, seconded by the 27". If you are worried that the top drawer in the 36" wide stack |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 7:02
Here's the plan. t I think I am changing the Advantium to a 30" under counter m/w drawer, a 36" drawer stack, 30" range and another 36" drawer stack. I could do 24" m/w drawer, 27" drawer stack, 30" range, 27" drawer stack, and 24" drawer stack or base cabinet with a door, which would have nice symmetry, but 27" drawer stacks might be too small. Perhaps I should have asked if 27" drawer stacks are too small. |
- Posted by francoise47 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 8:05
Hi Jerzeegirl, How wide to go is somewhat individual based on your storage needs, Have you tried mocking up two-dimensional drawers out of paper and seeing if your pots and pans will fit? This is a very TKO trick I learned on GW. Here is what I have, dictated by my layout and the fact that I have a streamlined collection of pots and pans and only store in the kitchen things I use daily/weekly. Below: the middle drawer of the 27" wide three stack to the left of my stove. Below: the bottom drawer in the 27" wide stack: Below: the 33" wide drawer in my main prep/baking area. Hope this helps. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 9:08
Francoise: Thank you so much! Those photographs are very very helpful. I think we will be able to manage with 27"-33" stacks. Since we are going induction I will have to buy new pots and pans anyway. The only outlier is my DH's beer brewing stock pot, which won't fit in any normal size drawer no matter how large, because of its height. That will get it's own special shelf in the pantry. Crepes every week sounds like heaven to me. I hope my old crepe pan works with induction because it is very well seasoned and I would hate to have to start from scratch with a new pan! |
Like the omelet pan I bought long ago when I was new married and had never made or even eaten one. :) Going with smaller cabinets loses some inches of drawer storage but gives you a really good work space and should also be better aesthetically. That 30" stove and hood were going to look a bit scrunched between the big boys. Now they get to be bigger. |
- Posted by liriodendron (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 12:06
Jerzeegirl: Don't forget to allow for space at the sink run/cab run right-angled intersection for the drawers and doors to pass by the faces, and most importantly the handles, of the drawers and doors on the other side of the angle. Sometimes you need to build in a few inches of blind space for this to work. To test whether you'd like arranging your stuff in various sized drawers, you can make mock-ups from cardboard boxes of the drawer dimensions and see how stuff fits. I found this very useful when contemplating different drawer sizes. Be sure to use the actual dimensions of the drawers, not the nominal cab size as the drawers are always small, sometimes, much smaller. HTH L. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 13:15
liriodendron: I was planning 2" fillers on either end of the cabinet run and I sure hope that's adequate. I am planning on frameless cabinets and just assumed that the cabinetmaker would not be able to do extended stiles. I think doing the mock ups is a good idea because I don't have a very good grasp on how all my kitchenwares are going to fit these drawers! rosie: I agree that the smaller drawers will help with the scale since already it's not a large kitchen. I am excited though because now that I am making the drawers a little smaller I think I can fit a 15" trash pullout at the end of the run (down by the sink). |
- Posted by francoise47 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 13:33
You will love the trash pull out! I you can fit it, it is nice to have room for two trash cans in the pullout so that one can be for can/bottle recycling. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 14:30
That's what I want - the pullout with two trash cans! I must admit that I am not thrilled about the prospect of having trash in the cabinets (we currently have a separate trash can that does take up space) but I noticed that the trash cans have covers so that makes it a whole lot better! |
Ooh, congrats on a trash pullout. I love having nothing on the floor. When it's time to sweep and mop, just sweep and mop. BTW, I posted recently on how to install a nonstandard 12" pullout if that's all the room you have. We copied it from a good angel, allowing us to get our lone 15" stack in for silverware, etc., and it works very well. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl (My Page) on Tue, Jun 5, 12 at 15:25
rosie: I would love to read that thread but can't seem to find it. Would you please post a link? Thanks! |
Huh, I didn't find it either. Maybe I forgot to hit send. In any case, a wonderful ikeafans.com person a long time ago posted pix and a description of how she put a slim can in a 12" Ikea pullout. I copied it and have been happy ever since. I have to pay modest attention while peeling something into it since the peels can go flying when you're laughing or whatever; otherwise, it's plenty wide for all uses without any more attention than standard sizes. As for how, with Ikea you purchase the 12" cabinet with pullout apparatus but only use the bottom shelf. Set a tall slender can in it. Super easy, and it turned out to be very stable just standing in the shelf/tray. I made mine full height, so the can pulls out just below the counter edge, because there were no 12" wide drawers available. If a 12" drawer were available with whatever cabinet line was used, you could do a shorter can with a drawer above. The only issue is finding the right size plastic can, since it's not a standard size. The one I purchased, a standard-brand "Slim Jim" that we cut down to just the right height, may not be made any more. However, check the SimpleHuman link below for at least one possible source for a can. It's to a complete pull-out apparatus and can that will fit in a 12" cabinet. I found a reference to it in Ikeafans.com just now, posted by someone who said (a couple of years ago) that they also sold just the can. I don't like this apparatus, though, because the can doesn't slide out WITH the door attached to it, not the cabinet (one pull open, one push closed), which mine does. BTW, I also hung a wide rod-style handle on it, which holds our sink-side hand towel. The door never gets dirty. |

Thanks rosie. That was very helpful. In my previous kitchen I had a trash can under the sink. It was not large but I didn't mind because it forced me to empty the trash on a daily basis or every two days (which is a good thing!). If I could figure out how to get the recycling can in there too, I might put it under the sink after all and use the extra 15" cabinet for other things. Now I'm confused again, lol. |
badgergal & nhbaskets - love the way you have stacked your chinaware in the drawers Could you kindly let me know what the "trees" inside the drawer are called? Did they come with the drawers or did you buy them separately? Many thanks. |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 14:27
Gemcap, that was going to be my question too...lol In one of the photos it looks like an insert with a "notch" to remove. |
Gemcap and Terri_pacnw, the system in the drawers in just called drawer peg organizer. It does have a notch to remove it. Mine is the Rev-a-Shelf brand. It looks nice and keeps everything organized but I found out after the fact that it really isn't necessary if you have good soft close drawers. There have been a number of threads on these organizers which you should be able to find with a google search and the terms gardenweb + dish drawer organizers or peg dividers. Most GWers agree that you can stack dishes in drawers without the pegs and that the pegs actually waste some drawer space. Some posters did say they used some type of liners like cushy cupboards in their pegless drawers. Nothing really moves when I close my soft close drawers. So while the pegs look nice, I say save the cost. I am sure you can find something else to spend that extra money on. |
Thanks badgergal :-) Rev-a-Shelf has so very many nifty little things which are verrrrry tempting and its so good to get balanced feedback. |
Do these 36" wide drawers that will hold plates or pots and pans have to have extra heavy duty hardware? Thank you everyone for sharing your input. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Sun, Jul 13, 14 at 16:05
We have "regular duty" soft-close hardware on the drawers that hold our dishes. I would recommend heavy-duty as they will close better (we have to keep the heavier items to the back of the drawer for balance). |
I had to have the hardware on my 36" dish drawer changed to the heavy duty hardware. The excessive weight caused the soft close feature to stop working. My 30" cabinets are fine. I'd recommend heavy duty for any drawers over 30". |
Thank you Sjhockeyfan and Romy718 for your input. This is what I was thinking also that I would need to upgrade the hardware to heavy duty for any drawers over 30". |
I had the 42 inch drawer failure and we all learned from the experience. 1. The weight of the drawer and insert counts as total weight. My glides were rated for 75lb. The drawer weighed 30 and the dish pegs weighed 8. My dishes weighed 75. 2. Standard installation was 3 screws into the glides - full extension puts a lot of stress on the front screw. For large drawers consider heavy duty glides and extra screws for support. I still love my big drawers but the one 42 was modified into a drawer inside a drawer with heavy duty Blum glides. The others had more screws added. See my old post - recipe for disaster for pictures and final solutions. |
