Transforms a room I was skeptical when I took it out of the box. I was afraid the crystals may read cheap but instead it gave my bedroom a rich, elegant upgrade. Love it!

Breathtaking I put this light over the dining room table which is just off the foyer/entrance. As soon as you walk in the house this fixture literally lights up the left side of the room. It is very bright, and shine and it really is an eye catcher.

Prepare for Compliments :o) I literally sat and stared at these once I had them up. Literally. They are fantastic! I was a little worried about the quality because the price seemed so cheap for the product but it was all for nothing. I saw that some people had to put the crystals on and thank goodness mine came completely assembled. Just for that I'd give 5 stars!! :o) I have one in my entryway (which is on the smaller side) and another in my long hallway. They add just the right amount of fabulousness without being overbearing. They also put off fantastic light and sparkle, I couldn't be happier. ***If you want a more modern look go with the small round bulbs and not the candle flame looking ones. It makes a more definitive modern statement and I love the way they look with the chandeliers***

Great fixture, great price I bought this light fixture to go in my bedroom for a glam/ luxe look. when i first took it out of the box i was not very impressed it did look a bit cheap to me. when i finally got it up and turned on the light...i was like wow..even my husband likes it a lot. my 4 year old stared at it so long he fell over(he was spellbound)...mine did come fully assembled. the crystals are not good quality but with the quantity of them i guess you can afford to skimp on quality. it cast a beautiful shadow on the wall that looks like a huge peacock feather(like the little circles on their feathers) the crystals are hung by tiny hooks and where each crystal is on the fixture there is a tiny flower looking accent...so it looks like the crystals are hanging from little flowers.however that feature cannot at all be seen online not once you have it hung up. The installation was not too bad...very standard!

I want all my light to shine like this! This is a beautiful light done in chrome with a diamond patterned shade and within each diamond hangs a small round crystal. The bottom is hard to see in the photo but it is a kind of a bulbous shape done in attached roundish crystals or glass. I know, my description makes it sound ugly but it's not ugly or gorgeous: it doesn't add to or detract from the light. The ceiling plate is chrome and is mainly smooth without any kind of engravings or scrolling, it has some minor ribbing that transitions from the ceiling plate to the pole. Amazingly packed: the box had a square metal rim running around the interior of the box to help protect the light from being bashed. Then the entire shade was lined in the interior with cardboard and then the whole thing was wrapped tightly with cellophone so that the crystals could not move and be damaged in transit: very impressive. Probably the best wrapped light I've seen. Came with the usual white gloves so you wouldn't smudge the crystals. When the light is on it casts a very pretty mottled shadow upon the ceiling, and if the sun hits it all the crystals cast a spectrum of light.

ASSEMBLY TIME Fixture is a gorgeous statement maker. Using 65 watt bulbs provides excellent lighting and wonderful crystal shimmer. Installed fixture in my townhouse dining room. Since the townhouse has standard ceiling height, the drop distance from the ceiling is perfect. DOWNSIDE: it took two of us working for 3 hrs to wire individual crystal beads and wire to fixture. Be sure you want to spend that much time!!!! Very tedious!!!! I wonder what the fixture would have cost if all the crystals were factory installed?

LIGHT BULB ISSUE E12 bulb I love this fixture as much as everyone else and agree with all their assessments. I just want to let everyone know that the fixture states that it requires an E12 bulb. I spent two stinking hours searching for such a thing. The ones I found were $10.00 a piece. After going home and doing research YOU CAN USE ANY MEDIUM BASE CANDELABRA BULB!!!.I used GE Reveal 60 white. Nice clean white light, which sets off sparkles of crystals. Also, fixture is very wide so pay attention to dimensions if you are unsure of your space limitations.

But, we have the Antique Bronze 4-light Round Crystal Ceiling Chandelier, item 14339929. It's the same chandelier but in bronze. Or, we have the Indoor 5-light Luxury Crystal Chandelier, item 12994829, this one looks very similar to the one you have and they would compliment each other. Have a great day.
Can the center rod be removed to convert this fixture to a flushmount?
Thank you for your question pdon39. The center rod can not be removed to convert this fixture to a flushmount. This is because it would require you to replace another ceiling plate, which would be difficult to do. Have a great day.

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle. You may have a few questions about choosing chandelier lighting that works with your style, however. Read on for tips on finding the best chandeliers for your home.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
Best Light Fixtures for Making a Statement
Light fixtures can produce big design statements in a room. If something feels incomplete, even after you've decorated, chances are your lighting situation is to blame. Replacing a standard frosted glass pendant light or a boring brass chandelier with something unique and tailored for your style will pull together all the elements of a room and highlight the architecture of a home.
FAQs about Chandeliers and Pendants
Chandeliers and pendants have always been popular lighting options because they can highlight spaces and bring some pizzazz and sparkle to a room. The popularity of chandeliers and pendants has made Overstock.com's wide selection even wider and has probably left you with several questions about how to choose, hang and care for the right chandeliers and pendants. Read on to find the answers to these frequently asked questions.
Top 5 Chandelier Styles
Whether you are building your dream house or just sprucing up your current home, a chandelier is a great way to add ambiance and decoration to a room.

4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style. They go great with dresses but can also be worn with jeans and suits. To choose the perfect pair of chandelier earrings, consider these important features.
Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution. Chandeliers are available with many arms, multiple tiers, and shades as well as with more simple designs and streamlined structures. Look for a chandelier light with a large presence for a big room and one with a smaller profile to use in a diminutive room; the size of your chandelier doesn't matter, only its size in comparison to the rest of your home decor.

Read on for tips on buying a 4-slice toaster.
How to Choose a Chandelier
Chandeliers are more than just a way to illuminate a room. They add style and become part of the home decor. Like any decorative piece, the right chandelier can make a big difference in the look and feel of a room. A large or ornate chandelier will overwhelm a small living space, and a small, simple one will not look right in a formal dining room. Here's how to choose the best lighting for your home.
Tips on Buying Light Fixtures for Your Kitchen
Make your kitchen a warm, comfortable room with the right lighting and ceiling fans. Since you spend a lot of time in your kitchen preparing and eating meals together with your family, you'll want this type of home lighting to be bright enough to see ingredients but cozy enough to make this room a fun gathering place.

Best Places to Hang Mini Chandeliers
A glistening chandelier can add that little extra something to your home decor, but you don't need to go big to make a huge style statement. Mini chandeliers, sometimes called chandelettes, work well in a variety of settings and are a popular alternative to large, traditional chandeliers. Think of a mini chandelier as piece of jewelry for your home -- a little can go a long way. If you're not sure where you would use one, try hanging a mini chandelier in one of these places.
Why You Need Chandelier Earrings
If you adore fancy decor, then you will love chandelier earrings. When you enter a fancy ballroom, the first thing you see is the stunning chandelier glistening above your head.

Choose teardrop earrings, dangling earrings, chandelier earrings and other drop earrings for your collection with our list of the best styles.
How to Choose a Ceiling Medallion
A ceiling medallion brings instant drama to a room. Ceiling medallions were once quite common in homes, and they have come back into favor. Typically, ceiling medallions are used to support ceiling fans and light fixtures, but most homeowners select them for their decorative value. When choosing a medallion, your architectural design, interior design theme and the type of ceiling light you select all play a part.
How to Change the Look of Your Ceiling Fan

- Why do you feel called to blog? Start by asking yourself this question. What do you feel like God is calling you to do? What are you hoping to get out of it? How serious are you in your commitment? Pray on this.
- What do you love or hate about other blogs? This is the easiest way of figuring out which things to do, or to avoid. Chances are, the things you really like or really hate are going to be things other people really love or hate. Regardless, you don't want to be the kind of blogger that you can't stand. I believe it was C.S. Lewis who pointed out that true humility is a trait we admire in others, while neglecting it in ourselves. Whoever it was, it's a sound point. We can often see the flaws and the strengths of our neighbor more clearer than we can see them in ourselves.
- Figure out your "genre." Sin is monotonous: the pleasures of the earth are finite, and end in nihilism, as nearly any addict can tell you. Sanctity, in contrast, is vibrant and unbounded, since it's a love affair with the Infinite. Are you going to write about canon law? Parenting? Art and beauty? Apologetics? Catholicism and politics? Liturgy? Pro-life and social justice issues? Before you write a masterpiece, you need to figure out your "genre." Some blogs are able to cover multiple genres well, but many aren't. For example, think long and hard about getting into the weeds on political issues on which Catholics can take either side. This can be either a good way of stimulating discussion on the dual roles of faith and politics, or a quick way of alienating even other Catholics.
- Set a tone. I think that the most successful blogs are somewhat predictable: regular readers have a feel for what they're getting. This includes the topics or genres covered, but it also includes how you cover them. For example, how much of the blog will be able your own experiences? Figure out if you're more like Augustine or Aquinas. But it's much more than that. Look at the contrasts in how John the Baptist and John the Apostle present the Gospel. Same content, different tone.
- Choose a name wisely. Names are incredibly important in Scripture (e.g., Gen. 17:4-5, Gen. 32:28, Mt. 16:17-19, Rev. 2:17), and in the life of the Church (particularly at Baptism and Confirmation), and should tell us something about you. The same holds true for your blog's title and for the titles of your posts, particularly since these are the things people see before they enter your site. This is usually all the advertisement you get.
Personally, I try to keep things relatively lighthearted, while addressing serious topics. The original names I was mulling over for this blog (like Catholic Defense or Catholicism Contra Mundum, etc.) sounded too boring, stern, or pretentious. Finally, I asked my Calvinist friend Don for suggestions, who without skipping a beat, answered, "Shameless Popery." That name captured the feel of the blog better than anything I could have come up with.
My point is this: a blog named To View the World Through Blood-Colored Lenses evokes a very different feel than a blog named Little Catholic Bubble. It's likely to appeal to a different crowd, even before anyone opens the page.

Jacob Wrestles with the Angel (1866) |

- Fill up. You can only give what you've received. When I find myself getting snarky, or running out of ideas for things to talk about, or finding myself unable to turn my idea into a a coherent post, that's usually a good sign that my tanks are running low. I need to step away from the computer, spend some time at Mass, in prayer, or doing some spiritual reading, and fill up those tanks. This both revitalizes the spirit, and frequently inspires good posts. Martin Luther is reported to have said, "Work, work, from early until late. In fact, I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer." We could benefit from a similar attitude: everything, including blogging, goes better with prayer.
Cutting out prayer time with God because you want to blog about Catholicism is like saving time on a long roadtrip by not stopping for gas: it may seem smart in the moment, but it won't end well. Worse, it may be a sign that you're trying to be the Messiah -- trying to save people through your own intellect or rhetorical skills. You can't. Only God saves. The best we can hope for is that, like St. Paul in today's First Reading, we can be a "chosen instrument" in God's plan of salvation (Acts 9:15).
- Consistency. This is the single most important distinctive in blogging, in my opinion. I try to post daily (or nearly so) every Monday through Friday. Missing a day or two is fine, but if you don't post anything for a few weeks, people will move on. The reader base that you spent months building up can be lost very quickly through inactivity. So if you do need to take an extended break (eventually, almost everyone does), and want readers to be there when you get back, try to let them know ahead of time.
This also means that you can't afford to be a perfectionist. You can't spent two weeks on each post to make sure they're perfect. Give what you can, and leave the rest to God. You'll surprised by the results. I have posts that I spent hours painstakingly researching that nobody seemed to care for, and posts that I rushed through in a few minutes that took off like hotcakes. For example, one of my more popular recent posts was this one: it's only four paragraphs long, and consists primarily of my reaction to a First Things article and a Catholic Vote post. I almost didn't publish it, because it didn't seem to have a point. I suspect this is all another way of God reminding me that He's the one in control, not me.
- Content. This is hopefully obvious, but your blog isn't all sizzle. It needs some steak for people to come back for more. Keeping your audience in mind, along with your purpose in writing the blog (see above), write the posts that you would want to read. Write the posts that you think other people need to hear.
Don't wait until you're the perfect Catholic Saint / encyclopedia: this blog has helped me grow as a Catholic. Things that seem obvious to you may seem insightful to those just discovering Catholicism. Those who are spiritual infants, just learning to walk in the faith, may find it easier to learn from a toddler than from a sprinter. Keep the Catechism and Catholic Encyclopedia close if you're not sure about what you're saying (or just don't say it), be prepared to apologize and fix errors, and cast out into the deep. Having said that, don't contradict or undermine the Church, and don't dwell on disciplines you wish She would change. You should be building up the Body of Christ, not grumbling (1 Cor. 10:10).
You should aim for a mix of your own content, and your reactions to other people's posts. You also don't have to dominate the discussion. Sometimes, it's enough to just get the conversation going.
- Beauty. This is something I realized far too late in the game. If you read my older posts, they're often just walls of text. Now, I try to enhance the post with Catholic art and even the occasional video. You can find plenty of art for free, from places like Wikimedia Commons. If nothing else, just use a site like Biblical Art, and find relevant art by Scripture passage. And remember, we're Catholics; we believe that all beauty points to God. On a related note, see how your blog looks in different Internet browsers, different sized windows, and on smart phones.
- Marketing. Even if you're doing everything perfectly, you may be ignored. It helps to talk to more successful bloggers, particularly those who are good about promoting upstarts. Mark Shea, for example, was the first to plug my blog, and Pat Madrid linked to me early on (on his old blog).
Two people you should know about, who do an amazing job of directing traffic towards Catholic blogs: Tito Edwards, who runs The Pulp.it, and has a recurring Register feature highlighting Catholic blogging, and Kevin Knight of New Advent. You'll know when they link to you because hundreds (or even thousands) of people suddenly show up. I was blessed in that they found me, but I don't think it's wrong to send your particularly good posts to them in the hope of getting a plug. After all, you're writing this stuff for people to read, right?
Valentin de Boulogne, Saint Paul Writing His Epistles (1620) |
Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini, The Ecstasy of St. Theresa (1652) |
Finally, heed the words of St. Peter: "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8).
P.S. Please, feel free to post links to your own Catholic blogs in the comments, particularly if you're just starting out! If you'd prefer, link to a specific post or two you'd especially like to share.

Diseases and Conditions
Adult Health Library
Allergy and Asthma
Allergy and asthma are among the most common health problems, with more than 50 million Americans afflicted with asthma, seasonal hay fever, or other allergy-related conditions each year.
Arthritis and Other Rheumatic Diseases
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are characterized by pain, swelling, and limited movement in joints and connective tissues in the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 46 million people in the US have some form of arthritis or chronic joint symptoms.
Bone Disorders
Bone is living tissue that provides shape and support for the body, as well as protection for some organs. Bone also serves as a storage site for minerals and provides the medium - marrow - for the development and storage of blood cells.
Breast Health
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer.
Cardiovascular Diseases
The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), as defined by the American Heart Association, include coronary heart disease (coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease); stroke (brain attack); high blood pressure (hypertension); and rheumatic heart disease. More than 80 million US adults have one or more forms of CVD.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) encompasses non-conventional approaches to healing beyond traditional medicine.
The skin is the largest organ of the body, covering the entire body. As the outer protective covering of the body, it is exposed to the environment, making it vulnerable to growths, rashes, discoloration, cysts, burns, injuries, infections, and other disorders.
Diabetes is a serious disease, which, if not controlled, can be life threatening. It is often associated with long-term complications that can affect every system and part of the body.
Digestive Disorders
Each year, millions of Americans are diagnosed with digestive disorders, ranging from the occasional upset stomach to the more life-threatening colorectal cancer. They encompass disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.
The endocrine system is a complex collection of hormone-producing glands that control basic body functions such as metabolism, growth and sexual development.
Environmental Medicine
According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), human health and human disease result from three interactive elements - environmental factors, individual susceptibility, and age.
Eye Care
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, many sight-threatening diseases, if detected early, can be cured or treated to prevent, or slow, the progression of any vision loss.
Gynecological Health
From before puberty to after menopause, a woman's body is constantly changing and developing. And, at each stage of development and maturation, there may be questions about gynecological, reproductive, and sexual health. Thus, it is important that a woman establishes a partnership with her physician (often an OB/GYN, or Obstetrician/Gynecologist) early on.
Hematology and Blood Disorders
Blood is the life-maintaining fluid that circulates through the body's heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries. It carries away waste matter and carbon dioxide, and brings nourishment, electrolytes, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the tissues.
Home Health, Hospice, and Elder Care
Caring for someone medically outside the traditional hospital setting is not a new idea. Well before modern medicine, people were cared for at home out of necessity. Caretakers of past generations usually consisted of family members or friends. Today, however, there are more options available, depending on the needs of the individual and family.
Infectious Diseases
Fighting infectious diseases today is much easier than in the past. With proper hygiene and proper precautions, in addition to numerous vaccines and rapidly advancing medical technology, people are better equipped than ever to avoid getting sick.
Kidney and Urinary System Disorders
Urology is the branch of medicine concerned with the urinary tract in both genders, and with the genital tract or reproductive system in the male. Urogenital is a word that refers to the urinary and genital organs.
Liver, Biliary, and Pancreatic Disorders
According to the American Liver Foundation, millions of US adults suffer from liver, bile duct, or gallbladder diseases.
Men's Health
Although men of all ages should have routine checkups with their physicians, many men wait to seek routine care until they are in their 40s. While there may be many individual reasons for this, men are generally reluctant to see physicians routinely.
Mental Health Disorders
Mental health disorders affect millions of US adults each year. Some disorders are mild, while others are more disabling and require intensive management and care.
Nervous System Disorders
The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates the body's basic functions and activities. It is made up of two major divisions, including the central nervous system (consisting of the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (consisting of all other neural elements).
Non-Traumatic Emergencies
Trauma is defined as a physical injury or wound caused by an external force of violence, which may cause death or permanent disability. The word is also used to describe severe emotional or psychological shock or distress.
Oral Health
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 500 million Americans visit the dentist each year. Many children and adults needlessly suffer from oral diseases that could be prevented.
Orthopaedic Surgery
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine concerned with diseases, injuries, and conditions of the musculoskeletal system, or the body's muscles and skeleton, and including the joints, ligaments, tendons, and nerves.
Otolaryngology is the medical specialty that focuses on disorders in the ear, nose, and throat.
Pathology is the study of disease. A pathologist, who is a medical doctor, looks at the causes of disease, how disease progresses, and how disease affects the body.
Children are not just miniature adults, but individuals with bodies and minds that grow at an amazing rate.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty that involves the process of restoring lost abilities for a person who has been disabled as a result of disease, disorder, or injury. These physicians are nerve, muscle, and bone specialists and the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and central nervous systems are most often involved.
Plastic Surgery
Plastic (derived from the Greek word "plastikos" which means "to mold or shape") surgery is the surgical specialty that deals with the reconstruction of facial and body tissue that requires a reshaping or remolding due to disease, a defect, or disorder. This surgery is conducted in order to approximate a normal appearance or to repair working ability.
Pregnancy and Childbirth
If you are planning to become pregnant, there are many things that you can do to help reduce risks to both you and your baby, as proper health before deciding to become pregnant is almost as important as maintaining a healthy body during pregnancy.
Prostate Health
Researchers do not know all of the functions of the prostate gland. However, it is known that the prostate gland plays an important role in both sexual function and urinary function. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages, and it is likely that, as a man, you may encounter some type of prostate problem in your lifetime.
Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses radioactive substances, electromagnetic radiation, and sound waves to create images of the body, its organs, and structures for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Images can also show how effectively the body and its internal organs and structures are functioning.
Respiratory Disorders
Respiratory disorders, or lung diseases, are disorders such as asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and others.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer strikes more people worldwide than any other form of cancer. Although more common in fair-skinned people, anyone can develop skin cancer.
Spine, Shoulder, and Pelvis Disorders
The skeletal trunk, that part of the body made up of the spine (back and neck), shoulders, and pelvis, acts as the major support system for the rest of the body.
Surgical Care
Surgery, as defined by the American Medical Association, is the treatment of disease, injury, or other disorders by direct physical intervention, usually with instruments.
Travel Medicine
Travel medicine is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on the needs of travelers, particularly those who travel to other countries.
Women's Health
A woman's body is just as intriguing as it is complex. Here, you will learn about the anatomy, functions, and systems of a woman's body, detailed with labeled medical illustrations and simple definitions.

Tony Award winner Doug Hughes (Doubt) directs the rarely revived 1940s play by the author of Golden Boy (a title that enjoyed a praised Broadway production by Lincoln Center Theater earlier this season). In The Big Knife, recent Glengarry Glen Ross star Cannavale plays a Hollywood actor whose buried past is being unearthed. It plays RTC's American Airlines Theatre to June 2. Opening night is April 16.
Expect "an electrifying new production of Clifford Odets' riveting, bitingly funny tale of keeping your integrity in the face of success," according to Roundabout.
The full company includes Rachel Brosnahan (Broadway debut) as Dixie Evans, Bobby Cannavale as Charlie Castle, Tony Award nominee Marin Ireland (reasons to be pretty) as Marion Castle, Billy Eugene Jones (Passing Strange) as Russell, Richard Kind (TV's "Mad About You," Broadway's The Producers) as Marcus Hoff, C.J. Wilson (All American, Medieval Play) as Hank Teagle, Ana Reeder (Broadway's recent Hedda Gabler, Sight Unseen, Top Girls) as Connie Bliss, Reg Rogers (The Royal Family, A Free Man of Color) as Smiley Coy, Joey Slotnick (of Off-Broadway and Chicago Lookingglass, Steppenwolf and Goodman productions, now making his Broadway debut) as Buddy Bliss, Brenda Wehle (Broadway's Pygmalion and Come Back, Little Sheba, Off-Broadway's The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide…) as Patty Benedict and Chip Zien (Into the Woods, Falsettos, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Nat Danziger.
Here's how Roundabout bills the work: "In the golden age of Hollywood cinema, actors may have all the glory, but studio execs have all the power. The Hoff-Federated studio has had its most successful star, Charlie Castle, over a barrel ever since it helped cover up a mistake that could have ended his career. When a woman with insider knowledge threatens to come forward, the studio heads will stop at nothing to protect Charlie's secret... but how far is he willing to go before he quits the movie business for good? Set in a glossy world of rumor mills and rocky friendships, Clifford Odets' The Big Knife is about living the life you always wanted but wanting something more."
This marks the first new Broadway production of the play since its Broadway premiere in 1949, when Lee Strasberg directed.
Cannavale is a Tony nominee for his work in Mauritius and The Motherf**ker With the Hat. He recently played Ricky Roma in the Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross. He won an Emmy for his guest appearance on "Will & Grace." His TV credits include "Nurse Jackie" (Emmy nomination) and the most recent season of "Boardwalk Empire." His films include "The Station Agent" and Woody Allen's upcoming picture, among others.
The plays of Odets (1906-1963) include Waiting for Lefty, Awake and Sing!, Paradise Lost, Golden Boy, Rocket to the Moon, Clash by Night, The Country Girl and The Flowering Peach. He penned screenplays for "None but the Lonely Heart," "Humoresque," "The Sweet Smell of Success" and more.
The Big Knife plays Tuesday through Saturday evening at 8 PM with Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 PM.
For more information, visit roundabouttheatre.org or call Roundabout Ticket Services (212) 719-1300. Ticket prices range from $42-$127.

Miller aims to rebound, cool off red-hot Angels
Halos riding seven-win streak after taking series opener
The Cardinals and Angels are moving in opposite directions.
Having fallen recently from atop the National League, St. Louis has dropped seven of its last nine games while the Angels are climbing their way to .500 with a seven-game winning streak, including a 5-1 victory over the Cardinals in the series opener on Tuesday.
Much like his team, Shelby Miller will be looking to bounce back from a poor outing. In his last start on Friday, he was knocked around by the A's for six hits and five runs, needing 61 pitches to navigate 1 2/3 innings, the shortest start of his young career. Miller has since identified some issues with his fastball -- lacking life and movement -- and his tempo, which he found was rushed. He threw a longer-than-normal bullpen session Sunday, tossing 35 pitches instead of his usual 20.
"I feel like my fastball command hasn't been good lately and the life doesn't feel like it's there," Miller said. "I went back and looked at film earlier in the year, and mechanics probably aren't exactly the same but they're not that far off. I'm just going through a hard time right now trying to throw strikes. And it's just not working out right now."
Miller has lost three of his past four starts, allowing at least four earned runs in each. Through his first 12 starts this season, Miller had a 1.91 ERA with 81 strikeouts.
With Jason Vargas still on the disabled list due to a blood clot in his left armpit area, Jerome Williams will start for the Angels. The right-hander is making consecutive starts for the first time in nearly five weeks. He is 4-3 with a 3.51 ERA in 9 starts this season.
In his last outing, Williams matched Houston ace Bud Norris through 6 1/3 innings, allowing one run on a solo shot from Jason Castro. He scattered five hits and walked three while also striking out three.
"I kept the ball down for the most part and just left that one pitch up to Castro," Williams said after the game. "He hit it out, but I had guys rolling over the ball for the most part. Just throw zeros up as fast as you can, that's what I tried to do."
Cardinals: Holliday scratched late Tuesday
Matt Holliday was absent from thelineup Tuesday due to neck and upper-back stiffness.
Holliday told reporters through a team spokesperson that the stiffness began around the time he arrived at Angel Stadium and it prevented the left fielder from pregame work. His status for Wednesday is uncertain.
"He can't turn his head," manager Mike Matheny said. "He's ridiculously tough, so when he can't go out there and do something, it's not [minor]. He takes a lot of pride in days most guys wouldn't play, he plays. It's something he takes very seriously."
Allen Craig started at left field Tuesday in place of Holliday, moving Carlos Beltran from designated hitter to right, David Freese to DH and Daniel Descalso to third base.
Angels: Pujols hitless against old team
In his first game against his former team, Albert Pujols went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts.
Pujols, who was drafted by the Cardinals in 1999 and spent his first 11 big league seasons in St. Louis, isn't the only big-name player on the Angels' roster to have faced his former team for the first time this year. In the first week of the season, right fielder Josh Hamilton took the field against the Rangers, where he spent the past five seasons before signing with the Angels this winter.
"Fans and media and everybody never know the whole aspect or scale of what goes on, from the front office to the players, and then that translates to fans and stuff like that," Hamilton said. "But individually, as a player, it's your decision, your family's decision. This is a business, this is our job. You try to treat fans the best you can, but at the same time, you have a family to support. They're coming back to town, I'm sure he's excited about it, to see some old faces. But he's going to go out there and try to win, just like he would if it was another team."
Worth noting
• Cardinals long reliever Joe Kelly will be unavailable out of the bullpen Wednesday as he prepares to make his second start of the season Saturday.
• In his first night back after missing Sunday's game against the A's with food poisoning, Matt Adams was 1-for-4 with two strikeouts.
• The Angels wore special patches on their batting-practice jerseys Tuesday in honor of Cardinals icon Stan Musial, who died in January. Musial's grandson, Brian Schwarze, threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Pujols.
• Los Angeles called up outfielder Collin Cowgill from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday after Peter Bourjos was placed on the disabled list with a fractured right wrist.

Can someone PLEASE translate this French article??! And why does Nole look like Jay Leno doing Han Solo???
*clutches stomach*
*passes out*
PS - Big thanks to B2012!
a raw + uncut approach to tennis
Labels: tennis
Ok, I've tried a translation there, but I don't speak English that fluently (even if I undestand it), so don't be surprised if you don't understand everything... Plus, even in French it's hard to undestand sometimes, and it's not that funny (although the names of the characters are quite hilarious !!)
Here you go :
Rafa Skynalder
When he was a growing steamroller, he's been progressively known by a larger audience thanks to the shows he's been part of in the most famous scenes of the Old Continent. He then perfectly embodied the complex myths of Terminator (a French clay crusher) and Rocky IV (an English garden atomizer). Europe was ok, but the world, and even the whole universe were classier, that's why this year, Rafa dreams to give body (and soul ?) to a brand new character, who could be able to save intergalactic humanity and, incidentally, to become the new master of the Yellow Ball planet. His first show was a success Down Under, as it was in the Californian oasis. However, he must ultimately avoid the Dark side of the AMA (will you resist ??) [note :AMA is the French name for World Anti-Doping Agency...].
Princess Murray
He seems to share a family likeness with MrBurns from The Simpsons, but with hair. [I don't undestand the next sentence, even in French] So far, he's been desappointing in the biggest stages where he was expected [to win], destroying all the hope he had created among the bookmakers, just like a Diva mocking her puzzled audience. It was apparently the "Scottish shower" effect [I don't know if this idioms exists in English, but in French having a Scottish shower means that you've lost your hope and that you have to stop all your plans]. This summer, on the green grasses of the United Kingdom, he plans on being crown Queen in place of the Queen : he'll then finally get his lifetime role. That is to say : free the audience of SW19 from its loyalty to Tim Henman, the perfect gentleman, the English Patient for ever. His goal : a honeymoon.
Han Solovic
He's a serbian impresionnist, but he also seems to have a gift for tennis. During his last show at NY, his provocations puzzled his audience, who even booed him. Though, we can count on him, the lonely pilot (he's envied by his peers, his fans reply), to start up again. The delights of javelin throwing may help to cure him... He can also copy his famous fellow-countryman Kusturica (the rest is impossible to undestand, even in French it doesn't make any sense...!)
Robi-Wan Kederer (LOL !!)
He has managed, during quite a few years, to have this unique occupation, reserved for the happy few : God himself. He was glowing in the center of the galaxie because in him the Force was. Seventh heaven, wonderful artistry : flabbergasted audience all around the world, stunned and amazed at the same time to discover that a tennis player was actually able to walk on water (even though he was stumbling on clay). But today, inevitably, it's even more cruel to come back down to earth : tears, Down Under, for this French-speaker who has now known death : the death of his illusions, deep inside him, on stage, for everyone to see it. The legend became a man again, for worse or maybe for better : that is to say being a dad, in a few months. His challenge is now to manage to play the leading role on court... as well as off the court.
Sorry for the mistakes !!
whynotme: WOW - thank you so much for the translation! I actually found parts it really funny. It also gives some interesting insights into these ballers as told through the character's stories. DEFLOVE: "So far, he's been desappointing in the biggest stages where he was expected [to win], destroying all the hope he had created among the bookmakers, just like a Diva mocking her puzzled audience." BWAHAHA!
ReplyDeletethats one ugly princess lea...oh well...whats new..andy murray is ugly and thats a fact.lol
ReplyDeleteSwear to god, I thought Murray was Amelie Mauresmo and it wasn't until I enlarged the photo that I realized it was him.
ReplyDeleteCareful Nadal...that's a really long and sharp sword to wipe your ass with....LOL!
ReplyDeleteRiCH : you're welcome ! It was nice to do it.
Here is an article I found pretty funny : a 25-year-old guy had the chance to hit with both Rafa and Fed, on the same day ! And he even hitted with the Williamses...
Geeze- is the article smearing Rafa's name by saying he uses drugs or are they just talking about his concerns of the current policy (which Murray shares). If it is the first- the French really do seem to hate Rafa (as commentators like Foreget loathe him and the crowds boo him)- and that swipe is unfair and they are trying to ruin his name.
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:31 : It's actually the first. But it's not hatred or anything like that, he doesn't say that he's taking drugs but rather that he HOPES he doesn't take drugs -not quite the same !
Plus, I can tell you that the French don't hate Rafa at all ! On the contrary, he's rather loved (thanks to his RG titles) even maybe more than Roger right now (just like everywhere on the planet, French are really critical about him). And French tv commentators always praise and admire Rafa.
The "booing episode" in Paris had nothing to do with Rafa at all, it's just the (lame) French attitude... They were selfish and disappointed to be deprived of a match with Rafa.
RiCH : LOL ! yeah whynotme ?? Maybe for RG, they'll call a French ! But not a girl unfortunately :(

The city of Alicante is the capital of its own province and it is also the second most important city in the Valencia district of Spain. The city on the famous Costa Blanca has recently transformed itself from a rundown old town into a stylish city, with its new harbour complex, clean beaches, outstanding museums, exceptional shops and buzzing nightlife.
Alicante appeals to many travellers who wish to take a break from their busy lifestyles in order to visit this sunny, easy going, sea port city. Tourists can not only relax along the stunning beaches but also discover the great historical monuments the city has to offer.
Although Alicante has reinvented itself into a modern city with endless entertainment, it has not lost its Spanish roots. With its warm and friendly inhabitants, its traditional festivities lighting up the city all year round, and its fresh sea-food paella dish straight out of the deep blue Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alicante has the right balance for everyone.
The most popular tourist town on the Costa Blanca is Benidorm, offering a wide range of facilities and entertainment to holidaymakers. In addition, there are also many other tourist towns which are really worth visiting, such as Dénia, Altea, Calpe, Xàbia and Torrevieja - all easily accessible by public transport from Alicante.

The highly-effective skincare range from Academie has been delivering impressive results since 1890, when Dr. Alexandre Lamotte established the Maison Académie Scientifique de Beauté. From its humble beginnings in Paris, Academie has grown to a global company with a presence in over 67 countries across the world. Despite its expansion, Academie remains a family-run company. Its legacy has been lovingly passed on through the generations.
For well over a century, Academie has remained at the cutting edge of skin technology. The brand has led the way and been a pioneer in the field, with other companies following its lead on many occasions.
Academie has been responsible for the introduction of a number of scientific breakthroughs, such as hormone-based skin treatments and the use of collagen as an active ingredient in skin care preparations. Many of the products that we take for granted today were first introduced by Academie. Its innovations include tinted moisturizers, which were first produced as an alternative to heavy pancake makeup in 1952, and self-tanning lotion, launched in 1960.
The Academie range also includes treatments targeted at the specific needs of men's skin. In the 1930s, the company introduced a moisturizing cream to soothe and calm razor burn. Over the decades, this has been developed and expanded into a full range of products dedicated to male skin care.
With a commitment to research and development, the Academie brand continues to introduce groundbreaking innovations. Concentrated active ingredients and clinically-proven formulations ensure that individuals can achieve visible results with this luxurious range.

Samsung 840 Series 250GB SSD Review
Wed, Nov 21, 2012 - 12:00 AM
An FYI On The TLC
While other SSD makers have been aggressively promoting their products in effort to garner market share, Samsung has quietly been putting out their own drives into the marketplace with largely unperceived success by flying under the radar. Part of this is because, per their literature, as of 2006 they are the number one SSD supplier to OEM PC makers. So they are getting their product out there already installed in machines rather than the bulk of their sales being from bare drive consumer upgrades. Intel also sells a lot of drives this way and is perhaps the chief competitor to Samsung for SSDs in OEM machines. Their 830 Series, which we are already a fan of, has also sold well and has been found to be a sound product in the populace. The 840 Series is the newest from Samsung and they are currently offering a "regular" and a Pro model. The standard model uses new 3-bit-per-cell TLC NAND Flash and the Pro series uses good old 2-bit-per-cell MLC NAND Flash.
Samsung 840 Series SSDs:
- Samsung 840 120GB – MZ7TD120BW -$97.99 Shipped
- Samsung 840 250GB – MZ7TD250BW – $177.99 Shipped
- Samsung 840 500GB – MZ7TD500BW – $379.99 Shipped
Samsung 840 Pro Series SSDs:
- Samsung 840 128GB – MZ7PD128BW -$139.49 Shipped
- Samsung 840 256GB – MZ7PD256BW – $269.00 Shipped
- Samsung 840 512GB – MZ7PD512BW – $599.00 Shipped
We got our hands on a 250GB version of the non-Pro model to test and see what the fuss is about.
What's so interesting about the 840 Series is that the non-Pro model we have here contains a type of NAND we haven't tested before – nor has it been made available on any consumer SSD until now. TLC NAND is similar to that of MLC and SLC NAND but each have their own characteristics making them a bit different with each having specific applications for which they are more appropriate. SLC (single level cell) NAND is used almost exclusively in enterprise applications and is known for its endurance and performance characteristics, It's generally too cost prohibitive for consumer applications. Most consumer level drives offer MLC (multi-level cell NAND) which offers a good mix of performance and endurance with a cost more palatable for consumer drives. This is what is found in the 840 Pro model. Finally, TLC (triple level cell) NAND offers the least in terms of endurance and performance and is generally even more affordable than MLC NAND. As the names imply, SLC has one bit per cell, MLC has two, and TLC has three bits per cell.
Samsung has gone this route for a few different reasons. First, simply because they can. Having the ability to manufacture your own components can be a huge advantage. We know other companies have looked into using TLC NAND before but since there wasn't much demand, the supply wasn't there. Second, is so they could offer a more affordable drive for those that want the quickness of an SSD without needing the absolute fastest drive available. While endurance is rated to be less and a consideration, the time it would take an average user to exhaust the write lifespan of the drive is still measured in years – likely four or more. Currently, we are seeing the 250GB version on the open market for $177.99 although we expect to see this drop as the newness wears off, supply starts to build and Samsung gets a solid supply of the TLC NAND.
Samsung 840 Series Features and Specifications:
- Type:
- Product Type: Solid State Drive with Notebook + Desktop Upgrade Kit
- Design: 2.5″ 7mm (Ultraslim) Form Factor
- Series: 840
- Capacity: 250GB
- Sequential Read Speed: Up to 530MB/s
- Sequential Write Speed: Up to 240MB/s
- Random Read Speed: Up to 95K IOPS
- Random Write Speed: Up to 44K IOPS
- Power Consumption (W): .15W
- Voltage: 5V ± 5%
- Compatible: Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), Vista, XP, MAC OSX, Linux
- Operating Temperature: 32ᵒF to 140ᵒF
- Product: .15 lb
- Product: 3 Years
- Contents: Samsung SmartMigration Software, Samsung Software & Manual CD, Quick User Manual, 3.5″ bracket with screws, SATA data and power cables, Mounting Spacer, SATA to USB Adapter Capable
In our review sample we received the drive with a warranty pamphlet, installation guide, software and manual CD, and a few Samsung SSD stickers. Stickers seem to come with a lot of SSDs anymore. Maybe we should start decorating our test bench with them? Anyway, you can drop an additional Andrew Jackson to get the migration kit not pictured here.
The exterior design of the drive hasn't changed much from the 830 Series. It's still a black exterior with an orange square although the square has moved from the corner to the center on one of the long edges. It still has the 7mm thickness, making it compatible with the more compact machine such as ultrabooks and the like. It also shares the nice beveled edges that we saw on the 830 Series which ups the elegance factor a bit. For those who don't really care how it looks on the outside can head to the next page where we'll peek at the inside if we can get the darn thing open.

Certain buttons were'not working Brent T. • Easton, MD • November 17, 2014 Appliance: Maytag 27" Built-in Electric Oven Self-Clean MEW5527DDW16 My Repair & Advice One day my wife went to bake something and the bake/broil buttons as well as #3, #9, and oven light ceased to work. Local repair guy came by and wanted to charge $500 to fix it....YEAH RIGHT! Did a little homework and found this website, spoke with knowledgable staff who pointed me in the right direction. Took me all of about 20 minutes to install new control panel..everything works perfect...THANKS! p.s. In doing my research come to find Maytag did little to insulate control panel from oven heat and that using the "oven clean" function can cause so much heat it damages the internals of control panel...figures as I remember my wife using the cleaning mode for the first time not long before everything went haywire. Suggest you stay away from that mode and just be careful when in broil mode as well... Was this review helpful to you?

A refrigerator door would not seal it had been blown off in a wind storm William H. • Sierra Vista, AZ • December 17, 2014 Appliance: Amana Ref-Bottom Mounts ABD2533DEQ My Repair & Advice A friends family had left her refrigerator out on a porch while they were remodeling the house she was supposed to move into. A wind storm blew the refrigerator off the porch and tore the door off. It wasn't dented at all, but when her son pu the door back on, it wouldn't seal. She asked for some help fixing it. I ordered replacement parts for the upper and lower hinge. The parts arrived quickly. I unscrewed the top hinge which was slightly bent. Set the door on its side and replaced the bent door stop and the broken Door Closure(this was the real cause of the problem). Put the door back on the bottom hinge and fastened the new top hinge in place. Like magic the door sealed like it should. Was this review helpful to you?
