4 Great!RWT2009 | 15/10/2012 | See all RWT2009's reviews (2)Great bluray set!Loads of extra's.However, digital copy needs to be downloaded rather than being inculded on an enclosed disc which sucks up almost 2gb of Internet usage.For some reason us UK residents only get a 3 disc version which excludes the dvd version that every other country seems to get as part of a 4 disc version.
5 amazing filmstwiie | 13/01/2013 | See all stwiie's reviews (30)Ok first off im just gonna say that alot of people seem to be totally missing the point of this film and instead expecting a bog standard alien slasher film...WRONG. The original wasnt that and neither is this, they both share that minimal action but huge on suspense feel. What most people are failing to take in is that this film is all about evolution and questioning the origin of mankind and how that evolved. People who expecting the alien they know and love will be disapointed due to ignoring the previous statement, this film is set many moons before the original and before LV-426. This introduces us to the first of its kind facehugger before evolving over the years to how we know it and the same with the alien at the end, just the same as we did from monkeys. As for the film quality itself its a beautiful picture thats stark and mute in colour but the cinematography and art style is beautiful. The 3D is a natural style with no gimmick in your face moments so the long dark tunnels of the engineers base feel huge and stretch out deep into the background, landscapes feel massive and deep. One particular great bit is the scan of the pyramid on the table which is just amazing in 3D. The DTS:MA 7.1 is a wonderious thing that just surrounds you with atmosphere and is spot on. Acting it great too from everyone you got a few stereotypical characters in there which is fine. Overall a brilliant thought provoking film that questions our origins and what we done wrong and if part 2 goes ahead then i cant wait
4 GOOD FILM, BETTER IN 3Dcenturion | 06/10/2012 | See all centurion's reviews (55)Just got my copy 3 days before release of play-com and could not be more happier. Went the cinema to watch this movie in 3D and the transfer to 3D tv is not a let down. The film its not alien or aliens so dont look to disappointed as its not a straight prequel but a stand alone film set in the same universe. The extras are great and lots of them and some secrets are let loose on what might be next in the series. So this is a must for any Alien or Sci-Fi fan. Buy this and turn the brain of and just watch and enjoy and dont look to much into the movie.
4 'Prometheus has landed'Kevin1075 | 13/10/2012 | See all Kevin1075's reviews (754)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Music Reviewer I enjoyed 'Prometheus' myself I have to say. But only after I had watched it in cinemas twice and let it bubble around my brain for a few days afterwards and also have some conversations about it with other people.Ridley Scott's sci-fi epic that sorta is and sorta isn't a prequel to his own 'Alien' is indeed a very different film to what I think many were expecting it to be. That was fine and didn't bother me because I didn't especially want to just see Xenomorph's running around tearing flesh apart. I can watch the 'Alien vs Predator' films for that really. 'Prometheus' has bigger fish and themes and ideas to fry and if it doesn't entirely succeed in making complete sense out of itself (seemingly intentionally) then it remains fascinating for what it tries to do more than what it succeeds at. There are BIG ideas bubbling around the crew of the 'Prometheus' and her crew's journey into the stars following what they believe to be an invitation to try and knock on the front door of our Creation story itself...................but like any large door, they will discover that some are not supposed to be opened by us. And while it doesn't succeed in making them all work 'Prometheus' primary advantage remains that it at least HAS ideas within it.With mostly good performances (especially Micheal Fassbender as David but also Noomi Rapace as Elizabeth Shaw - our new Ripley like strong female centrepiece), some utterly beautiful set design and startling visual effects and one disturbing sequence in particular that gets as close as any other 'Alien' universe film ever has to creating a rival to John Hurt's famous sequence the film only starts to really lose it's way once it seems to realise that it only has about a half hour left to bring itself to a conclusion. The final third is where the film starts to feel rushed and begins to lose focus. However, there are going to be substantial additional scenes on thehome release version of the film in the form of deleted scenes which may well help this section of the film out. At the moment, I'm inclined to think Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof do have some inkling of where they want to take 'Prometheus' (and my hope is that it tangenitises further away from 'Alien' specifically rather than slavishly going towards it) because the film itself quite blatantly sets itself out by the end as only a piece of a much larger story. That's a flaw in the film as well in fairness, but it appears the film has been successful enough that at least one sequel may just come along. Hopefully, with Ridley Scott returning at the helm as well.I would actually want to give it more along the lines of three and a half stars, but I wouldn't give it as low as three so I'm giving it four stars at this point.This version of the film comes fully loaded with the 3D version of the film, the standard 2D version and is also fully kitted out with a wealth of extra material including the massive documentary 'Furious Gods: The Making of Prometheus' which itself has links to even more material (inluding literally hundreds of concept art photos and drawings) and exhaustively covers the making of the film from inception to it's final version. There are two commentary tracks (one from Ridley Scott and a combined commentary from the two writers Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof) and a further extensive set of deleted scenes running to over 30 minutes of material. There are areas where the criticism's the film recieved are addressed quite openly but I guess it would be up the viewer to decide whether or not that helps with their reception of the film (since I don't think there's been a more divisive film this year).All in I still want to see what happens next!

A class of approximate stationary solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations are obtained by expanding the metric in powers of a certain parameter and solving explicitly the first few orders in terms of four harmonic functions. These solutions, to the order considered, reduce to the Weyl, Bonnor, and Perjés-Israel-Wilson solutions, respectively, for suitable choice of the harmonic functions. They also contain a subclass that is asymptomatically flat and has realistic arbitrary spinning sources.

TI Introduces Industry's First Single- And Dual-channel, 16- And 24-bit ECG/EEG Analog Front Ends
DALLAS, April 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today expanded its award-winning ADS1298 analog front end (AFE) family with five new fully integrated AFEs for portable biopotential measurement applications. The new electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalograph (EEG) AFEs are the first to offer 16- and 24-bit resolution with 1 or 2 channels. The devices cut power consumption by more than 94 percent compared to discrete implementations, while shrinking board space requirements up to 86 percent. These reductions will enable portable medical, sports and fitness equipment that combines long battery life with a form factor that is smaller, lighter and easier to wear. For information or to order samples, visit www.ti.com/ads1291-pr.
Key features and benefits of the new AFEs:
- Reduce board space, system complexity and power consumption: Integrate low-noise programmable gain amplifiers (PGAs), test signals, a right leg drive amplifier, oscillator, voltage reference and lead-off detection function to simplify design, while significantly reducing board space requirements and cutting power consumption to only 335 uW/channel.
- Support AAMI, IEC requirements: Feature input-referred noise below 8 uVpp to support Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) end-equipment performance requirements.
- Maximize design reuse: Pin compatible, enabling customers to maximize designs across a family of end products.
Typical applicationsCommon applications for the new AFEs in the ADS1298 family include Holter and fitness heart-rate monitors. Customers can expect the following power and space savings when used in these applications:
- A two-channel Holter based on the ADS1292 consumes 94-percent less power while using up to 92-percent less board space and 92-percent fewer components than an equivalent discrete implementation.
- When used in a typical fitness heart-rate monitor, the ADS1291 consumes 89-percent less power while using 52-percent less board space and 75-percent fewer components compared to discrete implementations.

Episode Information
Martin Hayes started playing fiddle when he was seven years old and, by the age of thirteen, was touring with the Tulla Ceili Band, arguably the most revered and famous ceili band in Ireland at the time which was led by his father, PJ Hayes. When Martin left Clare for Chicago in the 1980s, he became immersed in the diversity of musical styles that the city had to offer. Eventually he paired up with guitarist Dennis Hayes – and recently was named Ireland's Traditional Musician of the Year. Today, Martin Hayes joins us again in studio.
Martin Hayes will be playing on April 24 at the University of Hartford with his guitar partner Dennis Cahill. For more information, visit University of Hartford website below.

What's the future of design you ask? Taking game design concepts and ideas, and applying it to all other areas of design, from products to websites, to make experiences more engaging, addictive, and visceral.
This week USA Today's Mike Snider wrote an article: "Social sites help casual games reach the next level" where he talked about the ready-to-boom casual games marketed. He quoted me in the article, and here's an excerpt of that:
The reach of online casual games is already impressive: One-third of people ages 6 to 44 have played them, according to market tracker The NPD Group. Globally, casual games on PCs, game systems and handhelds, played online and off, generate about $2.25 billion annually, according to the Casual Games Association.
Two popular existing networks, Zynga and Social Gaming Network, have begun adding their games as applications on social networks. More such combinations are on the way, because the revenue potential from advertising, subscriptions and virtual items "is enormous," says Ross Popoff-Walker, a researcher for Forrester Research. "It's a huge audience, (and) there are a lot of different experiments on the Web taking on elements of gaming and the traditional social network."
This is only the tip of the iceberg, or in this case, glacier.
A year ago I ghostwrote a Forrester report with Kerry Bodine called "Desirable Online Experiences" that argued as consumers spend more and more time online ...

This is a REALLY sweet light. I do a lot of house remodels and I vouch for this light being dope. I WILL say that it's a 9 on a 1-10 difficulty installing scale. Pre assembly with the crystals is no big deal, but I had to have that black shade on while I connected the wires so had to have my hand going through the fixture to do that and screw it up on the ceiling. 0% chance of installing it alone, you'll need an extra pair of hands. Coolest light fixture in the house.
I thought that the shade was a sheer fabric from the picture (originally wanted the extended mount but space wouldn't allow so I ordered flush) but it is actually individual black threads stung vertically. Still beautiful and worth the price. Some of the reviews I read before purchasing talk about the crystals appearence and how time consuming and difficult they were to attach. I think it took me 5 minutes and I had zero problems and thought the quality was very sufficient. The overall installation was fairly simple but the instructions are not meant for anyone who hasn't installed lighting before. Google is a great resource for anyone who might be a first timer or who is having trouble. I also took the advice of other consumers and installed a dimmer switch (super easy). It looks great and has been a fantastic addition to my livingroom space. Love it! Love it! Love it!
This comes in a hundred pieces and that I wasn't aware of that nor do I have the time or patience to spend hours putting it together. Te crystals and shade are really nice but the metal looked like very cheap fake chrome to me. And I suspect it won't hold up over time. I returned this one.
this is the third chandlier I have purchased in the past 4 months for my new home and this one is beautiful as well. Bought it for my tweenies bedroom and it looks great. The string shade makes a slight stripe cool pattern on the walls that is nice too 4 stars.....
This chandelier is awesome. I bought the 3 bulb one first but it didn't produce enough light. This one is perfect, takes 6 candelabra bulbs. Bulbs are 60 watts each. Hung this in the kitchen and it is beautiful. The dangling crystals produce lovely rainbows when the sunlight through my window hits them. i think this looks much nicer than the 3 bulb one.
found this lamp on lamp plus for tripple the price, it really nice
I bought two of these Indoor 6-light Black Shade Chrome Flushmount Chandelier, and One of these Indoor 6-light Black Shade Chrome SWAG Chandelier. Should have bought all swag as these are two "Flushmount" for my rooms. It was extremely hard to mount as well has to hang the crystals. The Swag was much easier and looks better.
i get compliments all the time. it fits well with my vintage modern style in my living room. when it is turned on, it shines a striped patter on the wall that many people assume i have wall paper on my wall. i love that because it gave a brand new look to my home.
I had envisioned this would be smaller, but I was pleasantly surprised by the size. It is absolutely beautiful. We receive so many compliments. Overstock is the best place to buy lighting. We have bought several and each one was wonderful :) You can't beat the prices either.
Love the string shade. Put a dimmer switch in and it's very romantic when dimmed, but can also be very bright when fully lit. Very happy!

5 Ingredients: Blackened Salmon With Mango Salsa
by Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, April 11, 2012I wish I liked salmon more than I actually do, but I have to admit, I often get bored with it. I know it's good for me so I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Meet my new salmon obsession …. blackened and topped with a super fresh salsa!
Good Catch
Salmon is a smart pick all around. It's a low-mercury fish bursting with healthy omega-3 fats. It can also be a sustainable pick. According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, wild Alaskan or tank farmed operations within the U.S are best.
Blackened Salmon With Mango Salsa
Serves: 4
1 large mango, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 pound wild salmon, skin removed; cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon Smoky Fennel Grill Seasoning or your favorite grill seasoning
Kosher salt, pepper and canola oil
Preheat grill or grill pan. In a small bowl combine mango, red onion and cilantro. Season with ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper; mix to combine and set aside.
Season salmon with 2 teaspoons of canola oil and grill seasoning. Gently rub spice mixture so that it evenly coats each side. Grill for 4 minutes, turn and cook on the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Serve topped with salsa.

BISHOP WALLS AT BROADWAY TEMPLE There will be a very special service at Broadway Temple A. M. E. Zion Church Sunday night, September 15, at 7 o'clock. At this time Presiding Bishop W. J. Walls will pay his first episcopal visit to this congregation since the Kentucky Conference has been with the Eighth District. McFALL MARRIAGE RECEPTION IS BIG DETROIT EVENT - Undertaker's Palatial Home Could Not House Friends; Ridley Business To Continue Here - By Special Correspondent Detroit, Mich., Sept. 12.--The marriage reception of Mr. Benjamin Julius McFall of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Allerita Fuller Ridley McFall of Louisville, Ky., was held at the palatial home of the groom, 714 E. Canfield Avenue, Detroit, Friday evening, August 30, commencing at 8 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Allerita Fuller McFall, the bride, is a native of Terrell, Texas. She is the widow of the late A. B. Ridley, founder and owner of the Ridley Funeral Parlors of Louisville, Ky. The late Mr. Ridley was rated as one of the country's foremost undertakers, financiers and business men of high ideals and great moral character and built a funeral establishment comparable to any in the country, of which the citizens of Louisville and the race throughout the country are justly proud. The same fine quality of service, courtesy and high efficiency which characterized the ideals of its founder have been continued under the direct management of his widow, now Mrs. McFall. Mr. Benjamin Julius McFall, the groom, was born in Valdosta, Ga., and received his primary and high school training in his native home and his college work at the Georgia State and Industrial College of Savannah. He completed his professional training at the Warham College of Embalming of Chicago and the Cincinnati College. Mr. McFall began his business career in the city of Detroit in 1925 as a junior member of the McFall Brothers, undertakers.

ALLERITA RIDLEY McFALL PATROLMAN CHARLES MILES SHOT BY WOMAN; DIES AT HOSPITAL Patrolman Charles Miles, 34, 406 S. 20th Street, well known colored officer died at the city hospital Wednesday at 7:15 a. m., where he was taken early Monday morning suffering from six bullet wounds in his body. In the Jefferson County jail is lodged Miss Mary Emma Smith, 26, whose charge of shooting and wounding was changed to manslaughter Wednesday. The blood transfusion given by his sister, Mrs. Frances Spencer, failed to save the officer. According to Mrs. Spencer, Miles who had been on duty on the Steamer Idlewild, was asleep when Miss Smith, who was employed to care for Miles' children, came in. She had been on the same boat and after exchanging some words, took Miles' own gun and shot him as he lay in bed. He was conscious until death and conversed with his sister. Patrolman Miles was born in Maud and was one of the latest officers appointed on the police force, and often worked with Patrolman W. M. Scott. Funeral services will be held in Bardstown Saturday. Besides his sister, Mrs. Frances Spencer of this city, Patrolman Miles is survived by a sister, two children in Bardstown and an estranged wife. CHURCHMAN [Photo] O. M.

Parents, you may want to take a closer look at your kids cell phones. "Sexting" is sending nude, or partially nude, pictures via cell phones, and it's a growing trend among teens.
Jesse Logan's story had a very sad ending. She sent a nude picture to her boyfriend. The photo ended up being forwarded to her classmates. The Ohio teenager was harassed to the extent she was so miserable, she hanged herself.
The typical sexting scenario involves a young couple who sends nude photos to each other as a special gift. But once they break up, those pictures can be used as leverage for revenge.
"These images are being consensually sent out the first time around, and then there's no way to put the genie back into the bottle," said DA Ben David.
What begins as a private gift can spiral into public mortification that spreads through the halls and beyond as the images can be posted on the internet for the whole world to see.
Humiliation is just the beginning. Teens may not realize the severity of their actions.
Sending nude pictures of a minor fits the legal description of distributing child pornography, which is a felony.
Even if the teen takes the picture of him or herself, it is considered manufacturing child porn, and everyone who the picture is forwarded to, can be charged with possessing child porn. They could also have to register as a sex offender.
A recent survey found that one in five teens "sext". A few are getting caught; 18-year old Phillip Alpert of Orlando will be registered as a sex offender until he's 43 after forwarding nude photos of his ex-girlfriend.
In Spotsylvania, Virginia two teenage boys are facing child pornography charges for cell phone pictures of five nude girls, including one elementary school aged girl.
So is sexting an issue locally?
Behavior specialist Hannah Griesbauer says not in New Hanover County Schools. "We don't want to wait until it does come across our desk before we do something about it. So we want to make sure that we're staying on top of the technology and we're kind of staying ahead of the game which can sometimes be very difficult because technology moves at a fast pace."
District Attorney Ben David says sexting is a growing issue that shouldn't be ignored. "It happens in both New Hanover and Pender County, wherever there's young people and cell phones and the internet which is to say everywhere."

Please show me your washer and dryer
I'm pulling my hair out trying to make my laundry room look. . .well neat-not an embarrassing mess. I'm in the middle of painting the room (SW macademia) looks great - painted the 8 foot window (thank you whoever recommended cabinet coat paint). The new drapes are hung - look great. I even bought a large free standing cabinet to hide the laundry baskets.
But the elephant in the room are the ugly washer and dryer--they are set in a 6 foot closet with no door- they need hiding! I had louvered bi-fold doors there years ago- they got dusty and yucky so I took then out.
Here are my ideas: new bi-fold doors, draperies.
All suggestions/ideas appreciated.
FWIW, there are some beautiful bifold doors out there - both Home Depot and Lowes (and I'm sure private lumberyards and door companies) have plenty you can special order. I also googled "decorative bifold door" and came up with a bunch of options, so try that. Then you can hide your elephants. :-) (I do sympathize, since I've had some butt-ugly, beat-to-crap-but-still-running washers that I preferred to hide too, just so I didn't have to look at the things every day! I much prefer having pretty ones but couldn't have justified chucking w/d that still worked fine no matter how rusty and avocado-green they were. LOL)
I know some people like them but I'm just not a big fan of curtained-off closets. Maybe it's because I always associate them with broken sliders/bifolds! *chuckle*
That's kind of what I was thinking, Jen. If they're in a laundry room, that's where they're supposed to be. When you're in there, you're in there to do laundry, so I'm not sure I understand the point of hiding them further than giving them their own room.
Next thing you know people are going to be knitting big toilet cozies to hide their unsightly thrones!
I don't own a dryer (aside from my grandmother's folding racks!). Maybe THAT should be "embarrassing"? but it definitely minimizes the monthly electric bills!
My washer is 16 yrs. old. I would very much like to move to a front loader, but the washing machine I OWN works fine and if it "fails" the water is contained. Works fine/upgrade saves water/not quite time to make the move... you see my dilemma. What we DON'T spend, we save... and what we save we INVEST...
Clearly, we have time to do the "research"... and I have some pictures left on the camera to show you the squalor of my "laundry room". LOL.
Look at this pic and tell me you don't think this looks horrible. There is also a mirror closet at the other end of the room so this awful reflection is the first thing you see when you walk into the room.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I guess that phrase 'the grass is always greener' applies here.
Or, maybe it's just that I see what I don't have, and want!
In your pic I see the washer, dryer and most importantly, shelves!
Shelves and more shelves!
And if those aren't enough, I see another tall cabinet---more storage!
And then I see you have a dedicated spot for your iron and a light, lighting!
I would love that kind of space.
Ok, back to the original topic --- carry on. *smile*
Ok, that looks sloppy but I don't think it is the W/D that make it so. Get it painted. Put some cab's up instead of the shelves and/or put some shelves up that have a center support, trimmed out. Can you put molding around the doorway? I would skip putting doors on it.
Here is mine - only about 6 months old and still messy. We use the top of the front loaders for folding & storage of DS's "stacks" which seem to never make it up to their rooms.
The cabinets look nice but would be difficult because it's recessed into a closet space.
The room is 10' x 20' and I was trying to make it look inviting as my disabled BIL is coming to visit us and it can double as a bedroom for his stay (he can't climb stairs.)
I couldn't care a FIG for the dryer...
BUT, the front loading washer...sigh... I am in serious "drool mode".
"Dyed in the wool" New England yankee (read: cheap) that I am I can't give up what I OWN and works fine for something I want.
I really can't do it. Are any of you able to understand that?
I totally get you chelone. My mother served Thanksgiving yams (that I made) at New Year's (but she froze them so I'm sure they were fine and no, I did not eat them and am just being sarcastic, I'm sure they were disgusting). She's a midwestern cheapie. I have 9 siblings, I did not grow up with lots of stuff.
To each his own, we do understand you but it doesn't mean we want to be like you :-) LOL.
I noticed on the second picture of your laundry room a long skinny thing on the wall above your hamper. Is that one of those clothes racks that you fold down to hang clothes on? Is it handy and do you use it very often? I looked at one to hang in my laundry room but wondered how sturdy it would be with several items on it. Saw where you had a hanging rack above the dryer, too. I need something like that also.
Wow, 10x20 is a wonderfully huge laundry room! I do agree that your laundry area isn't "attractive", but doors would restrict your access so much. I do think cabinets would work. You'd get deep enough ones so that the doors would be flush with the wall.
I just went through my laundry room and threw away probably half of what was on my shelves, old jackets on hooks etc. It really helped neaten up the area. Maybe once you paint, clean off your shelves and empty the room on any extra "stuff", you'll feel its more attractive. I think the paint will really warm up the area and make it less a laundry room. Are you going to paint in the closet area too? Also, maybe you could swap out the mirrored doors for solid ones so you don't have an ugly reflection. You could also maybe put a solid wallpaper over the mirrors if you don't want to go to the hassle/expense of replacing them.
Chelone, I too, am one not to want to replace something that's not broken. My washer did die 6-7 years ago, so I did get a front loader. I went to the local scratch/dent place and got one for quite a discount. But, my dryer was still fine so I kept it and told myself I'd get the matching dryer when the old one croaked. It still hasn't croaked so, I have a big front loader and a regular size dryer!
Since you are thrifty by nature, keep in mind the water you'll be saving with a front loader. I think the average front loader uses 12-16 gallons per load vs. a top loader at 35-40 gallons. Also, less soap and wear and tear on your clothes. I think the only downside I've found with mine, is the cycle does run longer than in my old top loader.
Ha Ha, that long skinny thing is a wood carving of a dentist (DH is retired dentist and for some reason he chose to hang it there although it clearly is dwarfed by the wall).
However, I had one of those racks that fold down in my old home (and have one in the cabinet over the washer ready to be mounted). I loved it and used it all of the time. I hung stuff there as I unloaded the dryer or hung stuff there to dry. And since LR was first room in from the garage, hung wet coats and snow pants, which was great as it was right over a heating vent.
I am only 5'3" and preferred that over my new hanging area over the dryer. It is a reach for me - both depth and height (but DH does a lot of laundry so it's OK).
Oops! Sorry about that. Eye sight is getting worse. Sure looked like one to me! Thanks for the info.
Didn't mean to get off subject but really got excited that someone had actually used one!
Shappy, I did what another one mentioned here and cleaned on my utility room for two days. Was astounded at how much "good stuff" I had in there. It looked like a different room when it was done. Like the idea of the bi-fold doors, too. Think they look sharp.
Roguevalley, that is really a neat way you have to hang your clothes.
I too just can't bring myself to replace a working machine even if it's for a front loader that I just *know* will make life ever so much more slenderiferous. ;^) DH "surprised" me with our current machine a couple of years ago. It's gets the laundry clean, but the tub is sooooo deep that I have to stand on something to reach the bottom. I just tell myself that stair stepping is good exercise...
I also have an authentic, antique solar clothes dryer and wouldn't give it up for anything. Getting to hang the wash outside in the fresh air is the *only* reason I like to do it. If I had to stand around pulling hot sheets out of a dryer reeking of fabric softener sheets, I'd gag.
Last year, I painted all the clothespins lush shades of blue and purple. Makes it easy to find them if they get dropped in the grass, and, well, it just looks fun. Sometime this spring, I'll repaint the poles too; not sure if I want them bright blue (like the pins) or silver, which was the original color.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Texas - thanks on the clothes hanging "system". It was easy and cheap. It is just a curtain rod (clearanced at Lowes for $2.50) on some chain. That curtain rod has great leaf patterned finials, but DH needs to solder the rod to the chain, because it always rolls over on the side and I can't see the leaves! Always something, right?
Chelone: Not a Yankee, but I get you.
I still have a box set and rabbit ears that catch two grainy tv channels. No remote.
The front loaders are neat, but my set will have to be dead and buried first. And mine are practically new, only 9 years old.
I'm so jealous! My laundry room is in the garage. I had to hang some matchstick blinds to create a semi enclosed area away from DH's workarea.
I found a nifty laundry center thing at Costco...it's got the hanging rod, several shelves (great to store the baskets) and it's all wire, so I can lay sweaters flat and they dry. It doesn't take up a lot of room, and it offers me so much more space than I ever had. I use the top of the 'shelves' for my folding table. I'm half considering buying one more, to double my space.
A question about front loaders...since it's just Hubby and I, is it worth having one? They all seem to be ultra capacity (what I wouldn't have given to have something like that when all the kids were home!) I'm not looking to replace what I have, but I've told DH when the dryer goes (it came with the house) I want to replace the set, since the washer is newer than the dryer. I've flirted with the front load idea, but not sure if it's overkill. Thoughts?
I'm curious about these front loaders, too. Toyed with the idea of buying one for half a second reading this thread. Maybe I just have too much *stuff* I need to throw away. I can't even part with my bins of "rags" you see over the w/d.
I'm leaning towards the solid bi-fold doors BUT I measured my space and it's around 71 1/2". The bi-fold doors at home depot are for a 72" space. Wonder if it would work? I'm feeling a little too cheap right now to do "custom"- wonder what that would cost? I can get a set of doors at home depot for under $100 and try to install them myself. There is a track there from a previous bi-fold.
I am kind of pleased with myself--I did throw away some of the junk above the w/d. I have to do a 'don't look back' approach because there were sweet things like cub scout badges from my now 21 yr old.
Maybe I just need to throw stuff out and start over. Main reason I started this task is I'm off work to take care of DH who has an unexpected major illness--somehow working with my hands takes my mind off my problems.
Shappy, a pretty curtain could hide the whole area from view. Or if noise from the machines running is a problem you can use wood doors. As for the shelves, can you put things in pretty baskets?
Did you by any chance take a look at the Laundry Room thread in the Gallery? There are many pretty ones there and maybe some good ideas for you.
Shappy, I too would just curtain off the area with fabric panels on ring clips.
Anyone: On front loader washing machines, can you add more clothes once the machine has started? If not, that would be a minus for me as I'm always finding one more thing that needs to go into an already in progress load.
I happily gave up my old washer and dryer (came with the house, no clue how old they are but still working) for a set of frontloaders. The frontloaders are stackable and this enabled us to move the laundry out of the musty 120 year old basement onto the first floor. Ours are sitting in our mudroom (glorified back entry hall) and when I am walking to the back door from the garage or carport the first thing I see through the window is clothes spinning in the dryer. It doesn't bother me though, it means DH is doing some laundry.
I guess that's why I don't see the machines themselves as being particularly offensive - but I agree that closed storage keeps the place MUCH neater. We have a chest freezer in there that doubles as a folding table.
The room is still unfinished. Just a piece of plywood for a counter (I want something nicer one of these days) and the old wallpaper from the PO, I need to strip it and paint etc, but it's clean, it's functional, and it's easily accessible - 10 steps from DH's home office so I don't have to worry about clothes being left for days in the musty basement washer because he forgot they were there and I was working too many hours to notice.
I'm not sure how much help my picture is but I do agree with those who say closed storage (cabinets with doors) is the answer. The machines are not an eyesore, the clutter is.
""Dyed in the wool" New England yankee (read: cheap) that I am I can't give up what I OWN and works fine for something I want."
Except in this case have you considered that your 16-year old machine is using a whole lot more resources to clean than the front loader would? Water, electricity and thus $$$ not to mention the effect on the environment.
When I was pondering making the change, I first looked at the cost differential which is indeed pretty major. But then I analyzed how much I was going to spend over the life of the machine by factoring in all resource savings. The front loaders use less water to launder the clothes, which come out as clean or cleaner BTW than the old fashioned top loaders. They use less electricity. And because they spin the clothes faster, the dryer (if you have one, though you don't Chelone) uses less energy to dry.
All that not only saves money but is much healthier for the environment.
Once I figured out what the annual energy savings were I subtracted that amount from the amortized cost of the machine. And I also shopped carefully so I got my unit on sale, with extended interest-free financing and free delivery. Since I always pay off my purchases on time that meant not only did I have not borrowing costs, I also could add in the value of keeping my money in the bank to earn interest while paying over an extended period. Once I calculated the true costs and savings it became a no brainer for me. The front loaders was actually going to cost less over the life of the washer (and I used a conservative estimate-didn't figure on having it forever). On top of that we live in an area of septic tanks and increasing water shortages so the washer is absolutely better for that as well.
So there is frugality on both sides of this analysis. Not saying everyone should rush out and replace front loaders. I was in need of a new washer anyway; I didn't wake up one morning and decide to buy something new just because. But the savings issue is a lot more than simply the initial cost.
And while I'm here, to the OP: when you finally posted the photograph of your W/D area, I couldn't help but think-no offense-that the biggest reason it looks bad is because there is a lot of clutter and disarray going on there. If you had some baskets to hold the laundry and tidied up those shelves, or as someone said put in some cabinets...it would look pretty decent IMO.
Then again I'm someone whose 'laundry room' is the end of my garage. If I turn around I could probably drape my clothes on the hood of my car as a drying rack :).
I have had Lowe's/Home Depot cut wood for me many times. If these are solid wood doors, I bet they'd cut 1/2" off for you. It can't hurt to ask. What's the cabinet to the right of the washers? Is that storage? Just wondering how you're going to open those bifold doors with that cabinet right there. Seems it might obstruct the area. I think also you need to try and consolidate your materials. If you have mirror doors, light oak doors, and now bifold doors - can you paint them all white? That would look nice with the wall paint. Just another thought!! I wouldn't do fabric if it were me. Laundry rooms are dust collectors - those fabric panels would be filled with dryer dust in no time!
To respond to some of the front loader questions. The water levels adjust automatically to however many clothes you have, which I like because my top loader if I wanted to wash a few light things, even the low water level was sometimes too much. You just have to make sure you adjust the soap amount. I've put too much soap in occasionally when doing light loads. I get the suds error and it will actually wash/rinse longer to remove the excess suds without me doing anything.
I do like the ability to wash my king comforter in my washer without taking it to the laundry mat - that's a plus. You can add clothes up to a certain point. I think its half way through the wash cycle. I have a light on mine says "Add clothes" it's lit up for about half the wash cycle. If you want to add something, you push the pause button and it stops and unlocks the door so you can add things. It's sortof funny because after that point, you can't unlock the door without canceling the whole cycle. I guess it's telling you - "Don't put in those dirty socks - it's too late, they won't get clean and you'll soil all the clean clothes I've already cleaned!"
I would never go back to a top loader - it just seems so wasteful and unnecessary. When I first got mine, I used to sit and watch through the window the clothes tumble.
I have a front loader...a couple of folks mentioned that they wondered if they were worth it. I love ours, it does us much less water than regular washers and many other front loaders on the market. Like caroleoh, it adjust water levels for the load. A big bonus is that it spins the clothes so well they require very little dry time. The downside? Ours are on a second floor and when they do spin they shake the entire house. Some research after we moved into the house showed that if we reinforced the floor under the tile with additional plywood, that would have cut down the vibration. Now we just keep the spin speed on low until we decide whether we're going to move it to the basement. They do have some specifically designed for second floor use but we can't bring ourselves to replace these as they're only abut 4 yrs old.
What I started with one closing day...
We ripped out and replaced the floor, vanity, sink, and lighting; removed paneling and repaired walls, installed 20-inch tiles, painted, etc.
This is the oppisite end of mudroom. Doors lead to sunporch; there's a closet to the left, and the doorway to our bedroom on the right. The right wall is about 5 feet from the corner to the bedroom's pocket door.
The floor is not bowed; LOL. My little camera distorts the lines.
Before sink is installed...
In progress...
I still have to hang cabinets above the W/D; install the light fixture above the sink, and swap out the backwards faucets the contractor put in.
My laundry/mud room is fairly spacious with lots of storage (the only room with storage in the whole house!)This is the room you walk into from the screened porch and from this room you enter the kitchen.
The one thing I don't like is almost everyone comes to the back door, which means they walk through this room into the house. Usually there are piles of laundry on the floor.
Shappy, I don't think it's that bad, the w/d are fine (I was expecting these rusty, dented harvest-gold hulks!) but I think it's everything else in there that's making you crazy. IMO it needs to be organized and de-junked (sorry) before anything else. In general it does look maybe a little bit like a catch-all dumping zone and that is just not conducive to looking nice in any room. Perhaps not buying in quite so much bulk might be an idea to pursue - do you live so far into the boonies that you'll go through nine rolls of paper towels before you go to the store again? Purchasing in bulk is not always as economical as one thinks if it interferes with other aspects of one's life.
Then while everything is out of the closet area being organized/culled, paint the interior of it a bright, cheerful color. Pick up some matching storage bins to corral all the "stuff" on the shelves - cubical baskets go on 50% off sale at Michaels quite regularly. Some better lighting might be a good plan, both for appearance and functionality. Whether or not you put up some new, nice-looking bifolds it would look more "finished" to put trim around the opening. Yes, they can be trimmed very easily - both sets I ordered for the last house had to be cut down by about 3/4" to fit the opening properly. It was done at the factory and there was a small surcharge of maybe $20ish.
Is there another place where you could put your brooms and such so that you could scoot the machines together to the right, lower the head of your steamer (I see it's height-adjustable) and slip it next to the dryer? If you are well organized you probably will not need that plastic drawer thing.
If the mirrored closet reflects something that offends your sensibilities, then perhaps there should not be a mirrored closet. If you can't afford to replace the closet doors (it can indeed get pricey), think about using one of those glass etching products and a wallpaper-type stencil (or even stripes of masking tape) to make a pattern on the mirror that obstructs the reflection somewhat. You'd still get the light-bouncing effect of the mirror but the reflection would be broken up and less obtrusive. There's a spray one that you can remove with a razor blade or paint thinner later.
kabergs: have you checked your washer with a level? When we first moved the washer practically tapdanced around the room because the movers just plunked it into place and stuck on the hoses, but from my brief foray into the madness that is the Laundry forum ;-) I knew that front-loaders needed to be perfectly level both front-to-back and side-to-side. Ours is on the first floor (old pine boards on joists) and as soon as it was leveled the noise dropped dramatically.
littledog: "reeking of fabric softener sheets"? Good grief! For one thing, many manufacturers now recommend that you NOT use dryer sheets at all because it eventually gunks up moisture sensors with residue. (IME it can also leave a gummy film inside the dryer drum that needs to be scrubbed off. Nasty.) Second, should one be addicted to them there ARE fragrance- and dye-free ones out there. There are even liquid fabric softeners that have either no scent or very faint naturally-derived scents that pretty much disappear in the dryer which go into the washer either in one of those Downy ball things or in the dispenser if you have one. We use f/s maybe one load out of 20 in the winter, the quart bottle I have is a good two years old. Some people like to use white vinegar in the rinse instead of commercial f/s and we've had some success with that, just not in the winter when it's so dry that everything crackles (one drawback to wool rugs, but one benefit of porcelain doorknobs!)... Oh, and as for "pulling hot sheets out" - our dryer, and I think most newer dryers do too, has a "cool down" part to the drying cycle, which minimizes wrinkles, makes things easier to fold, and keeps fabrics from getting "overcooked".
pesky, not all front loaders are ginormous. It's just DH and me in the house too and our medium-sized one (Frigidaire GLTF2940) works very well for us. If you prefer to do very small loads every day or two, it may not work for you, but we like being able to do laundry once a week in one fell swoop instead of constantly having the machine running.
I really do like the f/l machines we chose; I choked at the initial price but I combined a sale, coupons, rebates from the "gummint" and electric company, additional discounts, and a good financing deal (which left my money earning interest in the bank for a year) which got it down to a price I could wrap my head around. I lusted and lusted for ages but waited until the old washer exploded water all over the laundry room and by then we had to run the dryer twice per load on the longest time setting to get clothes dry anyway. They were 12 years old, el cheapos to begin with, rusty and beaten-up, and we had just been waiting for them to die. I had a repairman come in and he said "lady, it'll cost as much to fix these as it would to buy new ones". We went to laundromats for two weeks (UGH) while I researched and looked for sales.
It's actually much easier on my shoulders and especially back (I'm only 5'2") than practically crawling into a top-loader machine to get the heavy, wet clothes out. I can sit on the floor on a stool with the laundry basket between my knees, pull the wet clothes out, scoot the stool over to the dryer, and shove them in there instead of bending way over as most people think you have to. They desperately need to be stacked but DH is afraid to tackle that one, I think we'll get a handyman in to do it. Our laundry room is 4'x5' so we don't sort or fold in there; both are done out in the living room so we can watch TV at the same time. House rule is whoever's doing the laundry gets to choose the TV show and the other person can't complain about it. :-) Dirty laundry is sorted into baskets which are put out in the mudroom to await laundering; if someone comes through the back door they see baskets instead of piles of laundry on the floor, which I think looks a little nicer.
I've done the hanging-on-the-line thing and never doing it again would be too soon. These days hauling one load of wet laundry outside and hanging it would do me in for days, I'd have to have DH haul it in and finish the job. I'll compensate for the electricity elsewhere! I'd still be putting them in the dryer for a few minutes after they came inside anyway, because I hate putting on stiff, "crunchy" clothes.
I did a countertop, too. My laundry is right off the entry from the garage and viewed from the kitchen. I didn't add doors because it would have made the hallway too narrow.
Also, I've had my front loaders for over 7 years and love them. Had them at my last house, too.
Wow what nice laundry areas many of you have! I agree, my clutter is the huge problem. Sometimes posting a pic helps me to evaluate things more objectively, there is just too much stuff and it's controlling me. The w/d still work fine so don't need to throw away $$ there, though those front loaders sure look great.
Think I will try the bi-fold doors froom HD. If they don't work I'll try to return them.
Look at this pic and tell me you don't think this looks horrible. There is also a mirror closet at the other end of the room so this awful reflection is the first thing you see when you walk into the room.
You can hang a curtain in front, then buy some wicker baskets. My area is pretty much the same size.. don't have a photo of what I just did. I went to Marshalls and found cute baskets, then I found 2 wicker trunks that stack, they are great to hold cases of water and what ever else. My washer is on the left, dryer on the right. You look like you have room to the left of the dryer, you can get a short rod.. very handy when shirts come out of the dryer they go straight on hangers.
Shappy - I'm not suggesting front loaders or this paint color, but saw this pic of organized open shelving and thought I would pass it along.

i came into this thread rather late and not to really get off subject..but to those of you who have front loaders, have you ever had problem with mildew?
I just bought my first washer and dryer set in december and i struggled for awhile with whether or not to get a front loader. Everything sounded wonderful as far as saving energy, clothes cleaner, yadda ya. I mean i really did some extensive researching. I kept hearing people talk about mildew. Read tons of reviews and problems with mildew. Just for that reason ..that there could be even a chance..i went with an toploader. Some people never have any problems. Just something to think about!
"but to those of you who have front loaders, have you ever had problem with mildew?"
Nope. We also don't run scalding-hot cycles, use chlorine bleach, or scrub out the machine, and we do use the ultra-mild natural detergents, all of which some of the Laundry Forum folk insist is a recipe for the "creeping crud". We don't leave the door open because that's a bad thing for curious pets - although we no longer share our home with a cat, it's a bad habit to get into for when there is one again. No problems a year in.
Went to HD yesterday and purchased two 36" bi-fold doors, they are the six-panel ones and match exactly the door that is at the entrance to the laundry room, they are quite attractive even unpainted (come primed). The opening is only 71 1/2" so I'm hoping they fit. We are just in the process of trying to get the old hardware out (stripped screws 20 years old). Best part was they were only $85. Before I spend big $ on new cabinets, etc. I think I would consider some new updated machines but that's not in the budget right now so I'd like to improve the look of what I have.
I will work on this today and I think they will look nice IF I can get them installed correctly! Will post pics if successful.
I have front loaders that I love and bought myself almost 2.5 years ago when my washer and dryer completely died on me. Mine are the Whirlpool Duet Set that I never have mildew since I wipe out any water on the door and seal when I am done all my laundry and keep the door a little bit open to air out.
Shabby, looking forward to pics since the doors sound nice. I wish my tiny laundry room was a little bigger for more room for laundry baskets and room to stand but I am blessed with a laundry room in my townhouse that is across from my bedroom. This was one of the other reasons I chose this townhouse over the house with the extra bedroom since their laundry room was downstairs in the bi-level and would be noisy while I worked.
My washer and dryer set is only about 6 years old, so I've got a few years before I need to replace them, but that doesn't stop me from looking (I like looking at all appliances). Anyway my best friend was re-doing her house and moving her laundry up to an unused portion of her huge master closet. She called me and asked what to get. I told her my wish list units are the Fisher and Paykel top load washer and top load dryer. Unlike most people, I absolutely HATE front load washers and dryers. I hate bending over and reaching into the washer and feeling around for more wet clothes, then having to reach into the dark dryer to fetch the dried clothes. Since my friend is tall (5'10") I told her to go check them out. She has had them for about 3 months now and absolutely loves them. They are made using the same technology as the front loaders, just tipped up. So you get the water savings and cleaner (non agitated) laundry. She also loves that you MUST keep the tops cleaned off, which has turned out to be an added bonus.
Oh well, one day.
Below is what I did. I'm not done with the area.. still need to add a few things but you can get an idea of my set up which is great for my bad back. It's all about ease for me, not having to bend or walk much. I usually keep a laundry basket on the dryer and add clothes according to person, hubby's & mine go on the left, daughters goes on the right. My son doesn't have much laundry so his goes straight to his room while ours can sit there a few days folded. Another thing I do is put things that need to be hung on the dryer door as I'm unloading, then they go on the hanger, hung according to who's it is. My daughter is always 1st in case she needs something before I put it away. I keep a little tykes stool in the basket above the washer in case I need something on the top shelf. All of the baskets were bought at Marshalls.
What are the doors on the right of your picture and how close are they to the washer area? Is there enough room to open the bifold doors?
Here is a link that might be useful: Laundry room link
My laundry area has that configuration. Organize your shelves and paint. It doesn't look like you can add doors; you have a set off to the right?? No need to close it off really. Just make it pretty. Pretty paint, pretty baskets.
I keep my extras (paper towel, toilet paper, detergents, etc.) on shelves in the garage. This is will help you keep the area neat.
If you can do the doors, do them. Curtains....welllllll.
I kept hearing people talk about mildew. Read tons of reviews and problems with mildew.
That seems to be a recurring theme wherever I read about front loaders. Keeping the door open should help alleviate the problem, but like JM said, not a good idea in homes with 4-legged friends.
I had a front loader about 8 years ago. Used it for a week and sent it back. It didn't clean really dirty clothes. I'm talking working in the yard, ground in dirt. That doesn't cut it in my house. And there's the issue of the vibration from the high spin cycles and the machines "moving" if you live in house with pier and beam construction.
I put up the bi-fold doors today and with a few tweeks, they fit!! I can't believe I hesitated because I have only 71 1/2", there was actually plenty of room! A laborious job just with removing old rusty stripped screws, pre-drilling holes, etc. Needed help from DH to actually hang the doors since they are quite bulky (hollow core, can't imagine how heavy solid doors would be --no thanks!)
Got one coat of paint on tonight, will post pics when completed.
Well I have my washer and dryer in my powder room, so definitely not a lot of space. None actually!
Don't be scared by this picture...it's the day I bought my house...and has since been repainted with a new shower curtain, which hides the washer and dryer.
I can post the updated picture if you want to see it.
Chelone, I totally get you! I was thrilled when my washer (from I'm guessing the 80's) died last summer. Had to get a new one at that point!
Of course, there was what seemed like un-ending drama getting the old one out of that little powder room, and the dryer was hardwired to the wall...but that's a whole different topic. Be careful what you wish for, right?!
I haven't read through all of the responses, so this may have already been suggested. I would cover the opening with draperies on a hospital track. So much easier to open and close, and you won't need to fuss with them like you would with tab tops or rod pocket drapes. I believe you can get the tracks through medical supply companies.
If I were you, I'd also invest in some attractive storage solutions. Ikea is downright inspirational when it comes to storage. Check out the link below to their laundry inspiration page.
Good Luck!

Mari, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I don't own a mechanical dryer, and I don't use any "fabric softeners"; liquid or sheets. We have naturally soft water here, so there's not much point. I've noticed most brands have come out with a "fragrance free" version, but IMHO, they're all still just oily chemicals designed to temporarily give your laundry a soft "hand", but over time, will ruin the fabric. I'm just an original Laundry Luddite with a serioulsy cheap, green streak. I'd hate to waste electricity to heat up (and then cool down) my clothing when I have 100 ft of perfectly good clothesline that can air dry everything but heavy comforters in about 20 minutes - for free. Our clothes smell fresh and clean without resorting to artifically scented (polluting) chemicals, and I get to enjoy the benefits of fresh air and a little exercise, so for me it's win/win.
Still, I have a tidy little laundry space with a washing machine, and a place to put the "laundry aids" such as they are. (White vinegar, borax, a bottle of laundry detergent and clorox bleach, a box of baking soda, and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide.) I designed a fold up ironing board with a shelf to hold the iron and a spray bottle, but I have to wait to get the hot water heater moved before I can put it up. Still haven't made up my mind what color to paint the clothesline poles, but when I get it all done, I'll post pictures too. I know that not everyone can use a clothesline; some people are physically unable, some don't have access to a place to put one, some people live in restricted neighborhoods with anal retentive HOAs, and some live in areas with so much dust, grime and pollution their clothing wouldn't remain clean if they did hang it outside wet. What can I say? I'm one of the lucky ones. :^)

DEXTER, Ore. — The Oregon Health Authority has lifted the health advisory for the Dexter Reservoir.
A recent test confirmed reduced levels of blue-green algae and their toxins.
They're low enough that health experts say they're no longer harmful to humans and animals.
However, if you're at area lakes, you're still urged to watch out for signs of algae blooms.

For the second game in a row, the ASU women's basketball team came from behind in the final minute to win a game.
ASU came away with a 68-66 victory over Colorado in Boulder, Colo., on Sunday afternoon.
Redshirt senior guard Deja Mann led the Sun Devils with 17 points and freshman forward Sophie Brunner added 12 points and six rebounds.
Coach Charli Turner Thorne knows how well her team has done in tough situations this season.
"I could not be more proud of this team staying with things," Turner Thorne said.
The Sun Devils (16-3, 6-2 Pac-12) were able to shoot free throws well and take advantage of turnovers on the final two Colorado possessions to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Buffaloes (12-7, 2-6 Pac-12) came in losing six of their previous nine games after winning their first nine games of the year.
Junior forward Jen Reese led the way for Colorado, scoring 22 points, 14 of those coming in the second half.
Senior guard Brittany Wilson scored 12 points and dished out seven assists for the Buffaloes, but her biggest plays came at the end of the game and benefited her opponents.
Wilson was handling the ball with the game tied at 66 with under 30 seconds remaining but, when she tried to go up against junior guard Promise Amukamara, Wilson lost the ball, resulting in a takeaway for ASU that led to the game-winning free throws.
"I think we wore them out," Turner Thorne said. "(Wilson) played 37 minutes. We just worked them."
Senior guard Adrianne Thomas sank two free throws with 4.4 seconds remaining in the game to take a two-point lead that would hold to be the final point differential.
Turner Thorne was excited by her team's play at the end of the game.
"This was a hungry, very talented Colorado team," Turner Thorne said. "Great end of the game defense by Promise and free throws by Adrianne. It was just another great team win."
The Sun Devils will play their next three games at home, starting Friday, Jan. 31, against Oregon State.

Heat Trade Dexter Pittman: His Greatest Heat Hits
Categories: Sports
Let us now relive Pittman's greatest moments during his Heat career.
Yes, who can forget the time during last year's playoffs when he delivered a stiff elbow to the Pacer's Lance Stephenson's throat and got suspended three games because of it?
Who can remember anything else he did?
Pittman has played in four games this season and averaged three minutes on the floor in each. In those games he's averaged 1.5 points.
We will miss you, Dexter.

Making it to the bigs, Nelson says, is still his dream. But there's only one way into the six-figure-salaried, first-class-flying, 70-member tribe of Major League officiators: through two Florida umpire schools. The students at the Wendelstedt Umpire School in Ormond Beach and the Jim Evans Academy in Kissimmee are predominantly boys fresh from high school, desperate to stay out of suits and ties.
It's tough to imagine a 50-something man who already considers himself the best umpire on the globe gelling in a place like that. And after the customary ten-year trip through the Minor Leagues, Nelson would be past normal retiring age by the time he made it to the Majors.
For this umpire without a country, his career in the Olympics, World Baseball Classic, and Pan American Games is over for the foreseeable future. He could still become a top officiator in college ball — where umps are paid as much as $250 a game — says friend and umpire evaluator Gus Rodriguez: "He's definitely one of the most skilled umpires in the world. The greatest obstacle in his way right now is that he's unable to speak English."
But Nelson, cocooned among relatives who speak not a syllable of gringo, hasn't taken any steps toward becoming bilingual. His sister believes that's impossible. "He barely speaks Spanish," Barbara says. "How's he going to learn English?"
With summer's end, Nelson's amateur gigs — he averages about eight or nine games a week and recently worked five in one day — will dry up. But the idea of him getting a 9-to-5 job — stuffing himself into a cubicle or slapping a headset onto his bald, sunburned cranium — strikes those who know him as a tragic and bizarre concept. Moments of silence follow when his relatives are asked what Nelson might have been if he hadn't become an umpire. "Maybe the guy bringing balls to the field?" Barbara offers after deep contemplation.
Reality will have to pry the ball/strike counter from Nelson's clenched fist. Maritza has found a job at a South Miami daycare center, and his daughters are helping out financially. He shrugs heavily when asked how long he'll continue to umpire: "As long as I can hold out."
In a parking lot outside Southwest Dade's Christopher Columbus High School, Nelson Diaz hangs out of the open cab of his brother-in-law's white Ford pickup and chugs water from a blue thermos.
He can handle the heat, Nelson grumbles as he stuffs a protective cup down gray slacks. But it's never this damned humid in Cuba.
He's in between a Tuesday-morning double-header. His partner for the day, a graying fellow named Jim Cowen — chatty even on the field, he calls plays with "You got him there!" or "Didn't get that one!" — strips beside him. Cowen, a three-decade lifer, is explaining how the only thing keeping an old man like him on the field on a day like this is the love of youth ball. "I'm happy if I get enough to cover the gas from Boca," he chirps. "Nobody works amateur games for the money."
Cowen apologetically glances at his partner before realizing Nelson can't understand him anyway. The veteran pair smoothly managed the 9 a.m. game without two words of conversation. "Umpiring," Cowen remarks, "is a universal language."
In his on-field dealings with players and coaches, Nelson knows Umpire's English. Ask him, "What's the count, Blue?" for example, and he'll immediately signal the balls and strikes using his fingers. He calls pitcher's mistakes in Spanish: "¡Bola!"
Says Cowen: "Even the Cuban coaches have been giving me shit about him not speaking English. I remind them: 'Hey, two years ago, neither did you!' "
At today's sun-blasted twin bill, the handful of parents find shade under trees beyond center field and beneath tin bleachers. It's the sort of game where the right fielder can be heard asking the center fielder between pitches: "What's the score? Five to one? Four to one? What's the inning?"
Today, 2,000 miles and a galaxy away in Anaheim, is Major League Baseball's All-Star Game. It will feature a six-man on-field officiating crew. But it's just another day in purgatory for the self-proclaimed world's best ump. He doesn't like to talk on game day. Before the game begins, he walks a few steps and sits rigidly on a rolled-up chainlink fence beneath a tree, stares silently at the empty baseball field ahead of him, and waits for game time.

Adam N. Goldfarb, MD
Molecular determinants regulating megakaryocytic commitment in bone marrow
One of the most common complications of dose intensive chemotherapy is poor platelet recovery due to defective megakaryocyte regeneration. While effective treatments have been developed to enhance post-chemotherapy recovery of neutrophils and red cells, no effective therapies currently exist to promote platetelet recovery in patients treated with chemotherapy. The basis for the defective megakaryocytic recovery in this patient population appears to lie at an early step in megakaryocyte development, most likely the lineage commitment event. Megakaryocytes derive from bipotent bone marrow progenitor cells known as BFU-E/MK (burst forming units- erythroid/mega-karyocytic) or as MEP (megakaryocytic-erythroid progenitors), which can give rise to either megakaryocytes or red cells (erythroid lineage). The Goldfarb laboratory focuses on the molecular determinants of the divergence of the erythroid and megakaryocytic lineages. The intent of these studies is to identify pathways, which may be manipulated to enhance megakaryocytic lineage commitment in recovering bone marrows.
This research program depends heavily on several core facilites at University of Virginia: the molecular biology core facility for sequencing and microarray analysis, the flow cytometry core facility for analysis and sorting of human hematopoietic stem cells during development, the tissue culture core facility for cell culture reagents, and the confocal microscopy core facility for high-resolution immunofluorescence/GFP analysis. Collaborators and consultants have included Dr. Isa Hussaini in the Department of Pathology at University of Virginia (copublished in 2004: Elagib et al), Dr. John Bushweller in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at University of Virginia, and Dr. David Allis formerly of the Department of Biochemistry at University of Virginia. In earlier work, they also collaborated with Dr. Don Hunt in the Department of Chemistry at University of Virginia. The collaboration with Dr. Hunt attempted to use mass spectrometry to define erythro-megakaryocytic transcriptional complexes; the project was funded by a Cancer Center pilot grant.
A second more recent Cancer Center pilot grant has permitted them to delve into the mechanism of c-Jun mediated apoptosis in normal human erythroid progenitors. This finding arose from an initial hypothesis that c-Jun might participate in megakaryocytic divergence from the erythroid lineage. Upon testing this hypothesis by retroviral transduction of human CD34+ cells, they found that c-Jun potently induced apoptosis at an early stage of erythroid lineage commitment through a novel target-gene-independent, COP1-dependent mechanism. They believe that this mechanism is relevant to the problems in erythroid development seen in myelodysplastic syndromes, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and iron deficiency anemia. Progress on discerning this underlying mechanism has recently been sufficient to begin writing an R01 application on this topic.

Tell Mavericks High What You Think: Public Meeting Tomorrow
Categories: Broward News, Broward News
Facebook.com |
Frank Biden is president of Mavericks in Education Florida. |
Mavericks is a for-profit company founded in 2007 by a Palm Beach Gardens real estate developer and the former CEO of a controversial Ohio charter school chain. For a brief, bizarre moment, the partnership also included Dwyane Wade.
Today, Mavericks has eight high schools in Florida, enrolling roughly 3,700 students who were at risk of dropping out of traditional schools. But state education records show that the charter schools -- which Biden calls "a hope factory" -- are off to a rocky start. They have earned grades of "incomplete" on state report cards, and several have graduation rates below 15 percent.
Mavericks High in Palm Springs, the first Palm Beach County branch of the chain, opened last August. Its principal is not certified to teach in Florida, and its assistant principal was accused -- and cleared -- of kissing a student when she worked in Kissimmee.
Like all Mavericks schools, the Palm Springs school is a nonprofit organization that pays Mavericks in Education a management fee to oversee operations. The nonprofit board is meeting tomorrow night -- and it'll be taking public input.
The fun starts at 5 p.m. at the school, 3525 S. Congress Ave., Palm Springs.

Got all my parts except the top plate for the coilover assembly. It will be here tomorrow.
One of the parts I ordered was the adjustable coilovers from ToyTec. But, when I opened the box, it appears that the swaybar relocator was missing.
That's what this is, right?
Is this an essential part of the lift? I'm going to call them tomorrow, just wondering how important that part is...
