We apologize, but this item is no longer available.
Cabidor™ Behind Door Storage-Classic
Like it. Easy assembly. Good quality. Adds convenient access to needed storage space in the bathroom.
December 5, 2013
the best so far
Product is awesome. Can't find anywhere, not even close to this. Genius. There is just a little scrape in one corner but it's nothing to fret. Cleared my countertops, gave me more space in the cabinet.and the price was a deal breaker. I was shopping for this, improvements catalog has the best price break. Thank you.

Hidden storage
Great hidden storage. Works great in the bathroom. The one I bought to store in laundry room for all my wrapping supplies was not as successful. Paper did not fit and the ribbons could not be added as shown on the original picture they used for advertising the product. Overall, I would invest in them again, just use them for my bathrooms and pantry.

Why did I not see or get this sooner!
This is an excellent way to add storage space to our bathroom. I wanted to get my husband's meds and toiletries off the vanity top and this really fit the bill!!! Easy to install. It stays shut against the door with a powerful magnet. So far, so great! I may look into getting another one or two for other problem areas. The cost is a bit high for me, but I was able to get it with a 20% off coupon. I'm thinking it may also make a good gift for our son who is living in a studio apartment.

2 People need an answerI have this question too
It uses the door's hinges so depending on how your door is hanging on the frame, it will most likely be on the outside (or visible) side ----just depends how your door operates (swinging in or out) Not sure if this helps!10 months ago
The cabidor is set up on whatever side of the door the hinges are on. If you choose a door that has the hinges on the inside then it will be out of sight. I have one in my bathroom (on the inside of the door) so no one sees it unless they are using the bathroom.Age: 25-34

The depth of the shelves is about 3.5" and of course the height varies depending on where you place the shelves. All of my medicine bottles and boxes fit adequately. Hope this helps??Age: 55-65

Hat Hopes
The very day this magazine goes to print, Fedora 18 is enjoying its official release. I have watched the first official reviews come online gradually over the course of the day, as they always do with such events. The extensive Linux blog and tweet engine is always waiting for the next big topic, and it is always ready to lend some content space for anything new.
Although my position demands that I maintain strict impartiality, I must admit that I have always secretly cheered for Fedora. I'm not sure why – I just like it. The people I meet from the Fedora project seem really smart and articulate. Fedora always seems to work when I try it – which is admittedly less remarkable for a Linux than it used to be. Fedora is also the inheritor of the great Red Hat Linux legacy – the old Red Hat Linux I mean: the one they used to give away.

Art du Temps Is Coolest Wall Clock Ever
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Designed by illi and Julien Ado for another firm called designby8, the Art du Temps starts with a rectangular board with a lot of "articulating" squares on it. When in passive mode, some of these squares randomly move up and down "beating" to indicate the passing of the seconds. To see the time you "ask" it to show the time. I think this can be done remotely, or via voice command. Then, in a science fiction like ballet, the squares move around, out of the way to display a digital clock, but one that uses physical pieces. This is called "mechanical digital hours."
How much will it cost? Around 90,000 Swiss Francs, and orders will start to be taken in March 2011, with delivery of the first pieces expected in the fall/winter of 2011. Now watch the video below.

Air show off in Indy, on in Evansville
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 11/01/2013 - 3:04pm
One of the largest air shows in the Midwest is no more. But you'll still see planes in the sky at the Shrinerfest in Evansville. The Indy Air Show planning group says it is giving-up on continuing the show, after it had to cancel last summer's event. The $600,000 show's attractions have included the U.S. Air Force's Thunderbirds and the Navy's Blue Angels. But they weren't available due to federal budget cuts. The Blue Angels had to cancel appearances in both Indy and Evansville last summer.

Harmonix, you know I love you all madly, as I do TB:RB. The game is incredible, and so are you. You have my undying devotion.
That said, if you ever let a bug slip past in testing where you can get more points for NOT SINGING in certain parts than for just singing everything, I'm going to have to take your QA, programming, and design departments all over my knee, one at a time, and spank each of you. I hope you understand.
So-called "end squeezes" are a blight on what is an otherwise perfect game.
(For those of you who don't try to get high vocal scores, I should explain - an "end squeeze" can be used on a phrase which has a Beatlemania activation segment in the middle of the phrase. You don't sing the first part, activate in the middle, and sing only the last part accurately enough to still fill the full meter. This gets you not only the multiplier for the full phrase, but also extends your Beatlemania for longer compared to activating it at the beginning.)

Lovely Letters: A Pen Pal Project
Monday, April 23, 2012
The other day, I wondered aloud on Twitter about whether or not people still had pen pals or wrote real letters to one another anymore. I have all this stationary, and a sheet of stamps, and I wanted to use them! A few sweet readers emailed me with their addresses, and I happily spent a few minutes writing a note to each of them and putting it in the mail.
And then Joelle contacted me to see if I wanted to host a little letter-writing exchange with her on our blogs, and I thought, what a great idea! So that's how Lovely Letters: A Pen Pal Project was born.
Hope you can join! I think it's going to be really fun.
25 comments:
This is such a great initiative. I think letter writing is fantastic should be given more credit. It would be nice to receive some letters in the post that aren't bills!
I'm in ... I am in London, though, so if this is a problem, I understand. Best of luck to everyone!
http://unpublishedworksofme.blogspot.co.uk/such an adorable idea!i would sign up but i know i would forget to write a letter and thus be the worst of all the pen pals. maybe you haven't noticed, but i pretty much hate doing anything that a.) i'm not good at and b.) that requires effort. but srsly, great idea!

This classic Carneros region Pinot Noir offers a wide range of flavors and aromas, in the tradition of the finest red Burgundies of France. "Clonal diversity" is achieved by carefully blending several vineyard lots, each retaining its own unique clonal signature in the blend. The result is a complex wine with a rich bouquet of cherries, berries and hints of spicy new oak. It has flavors reminiscent of black cherry, currant and strawberry, followed by a rich, spicy texture and a long silky finish.
This wine pairs nicely with lamb, duck, even grilled fish, and will improve with additional cellaring for 2 to 5 years.

It's cold. VERY cold. Eat this and be warm.
I should probably say a little more than that, but that's really the whole point of this recipe. For me this is such a Sunday lunch thing. It takes a bit of time, but really not much work. Slow cooking rocks, just put it on and let it do it's thang. Fresh pappardelle is hands down my favourite pasta. It takes me back to my time in Perugia where the local specialty was wild boar with pappardelle spiked with spicy black pepper. I've run with it ever since! Alas, my local butcher was out of Umbrian Wild Boar (what are they good for, really?) so lamb shanks it is. But really, who can complain about meltingly tender lamb that you could eat even if you didn't have any teeth? Not I.
Serves 4 hungry folk.
For the pasta:
- 4 eggs
- 400g durum wheat flour + extra for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
Make the pasta in your preferred method. For me, it's by hand. So combine all the dry ingredients and tip them on to your surface and make a well in the center. Crack in the eggs, then gradually work the flour into the eggs until you have a dough forming. Remember, every time you work with flour you may need a little more, or a little less. So feel the way your dough is coming together and incorporate the flour gradually. I work the dough for at least 10 minutes to get that gluten working – your dough needs to have some bounce back. Once it's at that point, wrap it in cling and let it rest at least half an hour.
After it's rested, either roll it by hand, or through a pasta machine ensuring you laminate (fold it over on itself) at least 4 times – again to help that gluten work. Once it's gorgeously thin, cut it in to 1 inch/3cm ribbons and hang to dry. You can dust with flour and leave in clumps, but my kitchen gets so stuffy that it usually ends up sticking together if I do that. NOTE: the broom handle was cleaned prior to use! Now take a step back and admire your speckled ribbons of wonder!
For the ragu:
- 4 large lamb shanks
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 sticks of celery, finely chopped
- 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
- 1 zucchini, finely chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 4 anchovies
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- ¼ cup of dried porcini, rehydrated
- 1 cup of full-bodied red wine
- 2 tins chopped tomatoes
- A bouquet garnet of 2 bay leaves, thyme, parsley stalks, oregano, rosemary and orange zest strips.
- 1 litre of chicken stock/vegetable stock/water
- Olive oil
- Salt, sugar and pepper to taste
- Fresh flat-leaf parsley to serve
Preheat oven to 140 degrees. Over a high heat, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in large, oven-safe pan. Season the lamb shanks well and brown. Brown them really well; this will give you super flavor in the end product. Once browned, set aside.
Drop your heat to a more medium/high level and in the same pan, cook off the onion, celery, carrot, zucchini, garlic and anchovies with a little salt and pepper. There's no need to chop the anchovies, they will just melt into the vegetables making them extra delicious. Once the vegetables are softened add the chilli flakes, porcini (and the water they were reconstituted in) and tomato paste and cook off for another few minutes.
Add your wine and cook to burn off the alcohol – at least until it's reduced by half. Add the tinned tomatoes and bouquet garnet and stir to combine. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add your stock or water and stir to combine, and then add the sealed lamb shanks (plus any juices) back to the pan so they are submerged. Cover with a lid and place in the preheated oven. Allow this to cook, slowly for 2-3 hours or until the lamb shanks are falling away from the bone. Check on it every now and then to make sure it remains moist, if needed add a little water. You are after a thick, juicy sauce though.
When the ragu is cooked allow it to cool slightly before you remove the lamb shanks. Remove the meat from the bones and shred it back in to the sauce – not too finely though, you want it chunky and delicious. Check your seasoning – it usually needs some salt, pepper and a little sugar – then keep it warm while you prepare the pappardelle.
Cook the pappardelle in plenty of boiling salted water and combine with your luscious lamb shank ragu. This dish is so incredibly rich that parmesan at this point would be an absolute sin. Just some fresh flat leaf parsley and a glass of a Coonawarra Cabernet. I was lucky enough to enjoy this with a bottle of Murdock Reserve 2006 Cabernet – a beautifully layered wine with firm tannins and a great minty earthiness typical of Coonawarra.

Just weeks after hackers penetrated the Sony PlayStation Network, the hacking group LulzSec took responsibility for another attack on Sony Online Entertainment. During that attack, information from some 100 million user account profiles was exposed. Then, in October 2011, hackers attacked the PlayStation Network again. The company locked down 93,000 accounts.
Europe's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) launched an investigation. The conclusion: Sony could have prevented the attack if it had kept its security software up to date.
No Apologies
"If you are responsible for so many payment card details and login details then keeping that personal data secure has to be your priority. In this case that just didn't happen, and when the database was targeted -- albeit in a determined criminal attack -- the security measures in place were simply not good enough," said David Smith, deputy commissioner and director of data protection for the ICO.
As Smith sees it, this is a business that should have known better. "It is a company that trades on its technical expertise, and there's no doubt in my mind that they had access to both the technical knowledge and the resources to keep this information safe," Smith said.
Smith called the penalty "substantial" and made no apologies for it because the case was one of the most serious ever reported to his agency. The Sony breach directly affected a huge number of consumers, he said, and at the very least put them at risk of identity theft.
"If there's any bright side to this it's that a PR Week poll shortly after the breach found the case had left 77 percent of consumers more cautious about giving their personal details to other Web sites," Smith said. "Companies certainly need to get their act together but we all need to be careful about who we disclose our personal information to." (continued...)

Located on the Montour Trail—a 46-mile stretch of flat, non-motorized trail paved with crushed limestone—The Tandem Connection stands as a convenient stopping point to outfit customers for two-wheeled excursions. Folks can stop in for daily or hourly rentals of 3-, 7-, or 21-speed bikes, such as retro-styled tandems from Sun Bicycles and pint-size rides from KHS Bicycles. The bikes feature hand or coaster brakes and may be attached with kid-friendly add-ons such as tagalongs and trailers. Once atop bikes, riders confront bridges and tunnels on their scenic adventure before heading back to Tandem for trail snacks, locally roasted coffee, and weekend barbecue.
With nothing but their legs, a launch pad, and a little wind, paragliders achieve mankind's ancient dream of flight without the help of motors or fancypants pilots. A dedicated revolutionary against the tyranny of gravity, paragliding instructor Jon Potter invites one and all to join him atop the hills of Pittsburgh for a flying lesson that can be tailored for students of any experience level. Potter gladly hurls himself from virtually any flyable hill in and around the city. Beginners start by taking wing from bunny hills, and more advanced gliders tackle the more challenging courses.
Steel City Airsoft's safety-conscious staff hosts adrenaline-pumping showdowns for recreational warriors as well as for law enforcement or military groups looking to train in a close-quarters, indoor environment. A modular building design allows staffers to reorient the walls, hallways, and doorways that honeycomb the 15,000-square-foot facility, ensuring unpredictable, action-packed bouts amid a hail of whistling pellets. With an emphasis on responsible play, the staff members steadfastly enforce the facility's rules and advise patrons either to wear clothing that covers any bare skin or to don their family's coat of arms. Steel City Airsoft is open on Fridays from 5 p.m.–midnight, Saturdays from noon to midnight, and Sundays from noon to 10 p.m.
HappyFeet founder Andy Barney boasts a lengthy resumé: the Oxford, England, native was a semipro soccer player by the age of 16, studied physical education in college, and coached youth soccer for 10 years before moving to the U.S. In America, he coached at Avila University and wrote the book Training Soccer Legends, but one day he found his extensive experience challenged by an unlikely group—preschoolers. He had agreed to spend what he thought would be an easy afternoon leading tots in a soccer workshop, only to end up exhausted yet inspired to design a curriculum specifically for younger kids.
His research eventually led to HappyFeet, where instructors play with kids aged 2–6 using a proprietary lesson plan the company dubbed "story time with a soccer ball." Each kid receives a ball, and beyond practicing basic skills such as dribbling, striking, and autograph signing in a noncompetitive setting, the incorporation of stories, nursery rhymes, and songs enables kids to exercise both physical and mental faculties. The 45-minute indoor classes, which were reviewed by the Pittsburgh Tribune, are held onsite at preschools and sports facilities such as PISA. Little ones can also be enrolled in HappyFeet's leagues, where a 15- to 20-minute mini class precedes a 30-minute game.
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1896, and its reputation was as big as its sound right from the start. Andrew Carnegie was an early backer, and reportedly claimed that it was the best orchestra in the country. More than a century later, the organization still enjoys its status as a nationally renowned organization. And the PSO continues to take pride in its acclaim—perhaps expanding on Carnegie's earlier view, current Music Director Manfred Honeck called the company "one of the world's finest orchestras."
The long-lived PSO makes its home in an equally historic venue. Converted from an opulent movie palace in 1971, when Americans swore off movies in favor of high culture, Heinz Hall proves itself an exceptional music venue. Fine acoustics please ears, while eyes take in glittering chandeliers and glints of gold leaf.
The YMCA Adventure Warrior Race gives kids and adults a chance to prove themselves against ropes courses, mud, water obstacles, and other unexpected mental and physical challenges—all while supporting a good cause. Amid the breathtaking views and tranquil waters of Lake Tris, runners maneuver around trees and carry heavy objects up the sometimes snow-covered Laurel Highlands mountains, climbing up to 1,000 feet as they go. Warriors aged 16 and older make a 4-mile circuit, whereas younger participants run age-appropriate distances of a half mile or a full mile. Trophies and the respect of all the woodland creatures are awarded to the top male and female runners, top male and female teams, and top co-ed team. According to the Daily American, funds raised from the race provide camp scholarships that allow kids to attend residential and day programs at the 263-acre YMCA Camp T. Frank Soles.

Due to the area's large population, which flows into the neighboring towns of Catonsville and Columbia, Ellicott City's boundaries have long since moved beyond the small historic district, transforming Ellicott City into one of Howard County's largest suburbs.
Part of the award winning Howard County School district, Ellicott City boasts some of the best public elementary, middle, and high schools in the state of Maryland and parents from surrounding counties vie for coveted spots in the classrooms. In addition to their excellent public schools, Ellicott City and its surrounding towns offer several respected college preparatory private schools with small class sizes and individualized attention.
In 2006, Ellicott City was named as one of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States by Money Magazine, due in large part to its convenient central location between Baltimore and Washington DC, charming downtown, and wealth of recreational activities and cultural attractions. While antique shops, gourmet restaurants, and art galleries line the winding streets of Historic Ellicott City, all of the modern conveniences of suburban life can be found in the outlying areas along Route 40. Additionally, Ellicott City is one of Howard County's most diverse and integrated communities, where locals frequent international grocery stores and eateries offering various ethnic cuisines.
Home prices in Ellicott City vary by location and average just over $470,000, with those in the estate communities of Farside, the Chase, and the Preserve listing for well over $1,000,000. However, a number of new townhouses and condominiums located closer to the commercial main drag of the Baltimore National Pike and historic rehabs neighborhoods offer buyers a more affordable way to enter the Ellicott City market.
In August 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Ellicott City, MD was $477,712. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.

Schiano Might Have Saved His Job With Win Over Bills

Every NFL team hopes to find a diamond in the rough come draft weekend in April. In this feature Pewter Report's Eric Dellaratta lists a few players that while not highly ranked, could become productive NFL players, possibly in Tampa Bay.
Every year there are players that are selected on day three, rounds four through seven, of the NFL draft that surprise and contribute early on in their careers. Some players that fit in this category from 2012's draft are Washington running back Alfred Morris, New England cornerback Alfonzo Dennard, Indianapolis running back Vick Ballard, Minnesota kicker Blair Walsh, and Philadelphia running back Bryce Brown. This article will cover three players that I believe could be late-round picks that contribute early on in their NFL careers.
We've already discussed the following buried treasures in previous "Draft Discussion" articles.
Arkansas RB Dennis Johnson
Georgia WR Tavarres King
Vanderbilt RB Zac Stacy
Tennessee WR Zach Rogers
Florida International S Johnathan Cyprien
Western Kentucky TE Jack Doyle
Finding pass-rushers late in the draft is a tough task for NFL franchises. It's even tougher to find them once the draft concludes in undrafted free agency. One player who could fall that has a chance to stick in the NFL is Northern Illinois defensive end Sean Progar.
Progar was tested against highly touted Florida State offensive tackle Menelik Waston in the Orange Bowl. While Watson performed relatively well against the pass-rusher, Progar did beat him with speed rushes and was strong at the point of attack on running plays.
It is evident that Progar is working hard in the weight room. On tape, he displays excellent strength and good leg drive. If the pass-rusher was able to get his hands inside, offensive tackles had a hard time keeping Progar in check.
Progar doesn't have great short area quickness or change of direction skills, which leads me to believe that he is best fit as a 4-3 defensive end. His lack of size (6-2, 254) is another reason his draft stock will be limited. Progar has a change to be draft in the later rounds but he will likely be an undrafted free agent. If the senior lands in the right situation and can get some good coaching, he could make a 53-man roster somewhere in the NFL.
NFL teams are always looking to add talented defensive backs, and a team looking for one in the later rounds could take a shot on Georgia Tech cornerback Rod Sweeting.
Sweeting suffered through a somewhat disappointing senior season, but he did have an outstanding game against quarterback Logan Thomas and the Virginia Tech Hokies. Sweeting laid some big hits and broke up two passes. The senior defensive back got the opportunity to play in the East-West Shrine game, where he went on to perform well during practices.
The Georgia Tech product's best attribute is his physicality. He's a gamer that likes to get in people's faces. Sweeting has strong hands which allow him to redirect receivers at the line of scrimmage in press coverage.
While many are down on Sweeting, he's definitely worth a late round selection. If he can be coached up, the former Yellow Jacket should have a good chance to make a roster because his physical play will be valuable on special teams.
John Boyett, a senior safety from Oregon, could be an interesting option for a team later in the draft. Whatever team brings him will have to do some extensive research into his injury history. Boyett had surgery to repair partially torn patellar tendons in both knees after the team's first game against Arkansas State.
Boyett (5-10, 205) was extremely productive prior to injuring his knees. In 2011, the Oregon senior racked an astounding 108 tackles from his safety position. Boyett finished his career with 278 tackles, 10 interceptions, 20 pass breakups, and two blocked kicks in 40 games.
On tape, Boyett flies around the football field. He's unbelievably instinctive and has good enough athleticism to make plays against opposing passing attacks. Boyett is a hard-hitter that seems to play the game faster than everyone else. He's a true football player that an NFL team should fall in love with.
If Boyett checks out medically, he should at worst be a very good special teams player and a backup safety. Right now, he's projected to go undrafted by most draft analysts. PewterReport.com believes that if he were one-hundred percent healthy he would be a mid-round pick in the 2013 draft. If a team snatches him up in the sixth or seventh-round, they could be getting a potential steal.

Arkansas QB Tyler Wilson will be a star in this league!! The Bobby Petrino debacle last year ruined what would have been a Heisman like year. Remember you heard it here 1st.

I know schiano is going to take a QB this year and im still hoping its going to be Nassib. The kid can play and has more experience, comeback wins and size than any QB out there. Reminds me of the some guy with the last name Brady. I know hes not a "buried treasure" but hes real good and deserves a decent pick. IMO I think the bucs should look at Ertz from Stanford, mans got size and I think we could develop him. I few of these guys you said on here are worth later on in the draft but lets wait for all their pro-days and then re-write this article :)

I think that if Sean Progar,Rod Sweeting and John Boyett were all available when selects in Rd-6 mult selects it would bring some bonus players-GO BUCS

I would add Dalton Freeman, Center out of Clemson. Projected as a 7th rounder he has the versatility to play guard and long snapper. Third fastest 40 time amongst O-linemen at the combine ... and never missed a snap during his 4 years at Clemson! Could prove reliable and provide some much needed depth to our O-line.
March 25, 2013
10:19 pm
4 years starter at O-line is great but the guys in the NFL are much larger and faster. He would be lucky not to miss a game his first couple years in the league. O-line is the most physical spot on the field

Good Article Eric. I would hope that the coach and GM also has inside information on some of own State Schools that not many other teams know about. We have a lot of local talent playing about our State too. The heck with Rutgers and the Kansas State area, how about our own State?

On a slow day , when there is no Revis news, Google a couple of these late round or UDFAs. I listed only positions of need. SS Cooper Taylor/Rich, FS Dexter McCoil/Tulsa, CBs Marcus Cromartie/Wisc, Michael Carter/Minn, DT Nicholas Williams/small school.
March 23, 2013
1:19 pm
Great information on Progar Eric. He is under the radar right now. He would be worth a try to sign after the draft. However I would not even waste a pick or look at Sweeting. He had only one interception the whole year, is too slow to keep up with deep threats, has very limited athleticism, and does not have the power necessary to stop the run. He is confident and has good instincts, but that does not overbalance the negatives. Johnson, unsigned last year in the draft, is far better. Boyette is also under the radar right now too, and am pleased you have spotted him. I agree if our doctors say he is good to go, he could make an interesting backup safety and special teams player.
March 23, 2013
11:30 pm
Thanks, owlykat. I agree that Sweeting had a down year, but I feel that he has the tools to become an effective NFL cornerback. It's all about developing him.

Healing Through Humor
Topic Overview
Laugh your way to better health
You're lying in bed with some kind of health problem, taking medicine and maybe getting some kind of treatment or therapy. Or maybe you're taking care of someone who's ill, and it's wearing you out. Sometimes life can feel pretty overwhelming. This might seem like a crazy idea, but now's the time for you to laugh.
Think for a minute… Is there anything close by that might cheer you up? A TV show? A book? Your child dancing?
Whatever you're doing right now, stop and find something that makes you laugh. Sure, laughter can help you forget about your troubles, but it also can help your body heal. That's right. Laughter can help your body heal.
Your brain talks to your body
You probably already know that your brain is in charge of things like what you think about and your ability to walk, talk, breathe, and move. But did you know that your brain also produces chemicals that affect everything from how fast your heart beats to how well you fight off disease?
Thanks to something called the mind-body connection, the simple act of laughing can tell your brain to produce chemicals that:
- Lower your risk for heart attacks.
- Increase your blood circulation.
- Help your heart work better and pump more evenly.
- Boost your body's immune system to help you fight off infection.
- Increase your deep breathing, which relaxes your muscles, gives you more energy, and lowers your stress.
Scientific research backs this up: The more you laugh, the better you'll feel and the healthier you'll be. Give it a try.
Learn more ways to laugh
Laughter is one of those things, like getting exercise or watching what you eat, that you can do yourself. Here are a few ways to laugh more:
- Ask your spouse, partner, or friends to help by telling you good jokes or bringing you funny movies.
- Spend time with the world's leading experts on laughter: children.
- Surround yourself with people and things that make you laugh—whatever they may be.
- Surround yourself with humor: An Internet search for "stupid pet tricks" or "funniest home movies" will give you, as well as the people you care for or the people who care for you, plenty to laugh at.
- Ask at your local library or bookstore for funny books, audio programs, or movies.
It's easy to think that the only things that can help your health are things that others do for or to you—the medicines you take, the doctors you visit, the surgeries or operations you have. And these are all important. But laughter is effective treatment you can do for yourself. And you don't need a medical license to do it.

why don't all of us play speedminton, huh? better now? tennis and badminton combined and with maria sharapova promoting it...
haha, this thread is pretty funny.
Some of you guys need to relax a bit - obviously quisitor is just trying to generate some discussion by throwing out a provocative suggestion.
good job quisitor!
Idea 1c: Increasing the height of the net to 230 cm.
When we speak of accommodation, do we mean it to be the case that an individual may knock the bird around in an "outdoor BBQ" fashion or do we mean it to be that the rules governing the sport allow one a fair opportunity to compete with the upper decile of atheletes in that sport if one should have the dedication and will?
Is it reasonable to suggest 10 year olds can compete against the top decile of players with the net at its current height? Would they stand a fairer chance if the height of the net were lowered to 3 feet? Even adults who lack height might struggle against the present ominous net height. Why, if the outrage of many at a suggested 4 cm net height increase is any indication, it is not a stretch to suggest that many already feel limited by their height and insecure in their ability to compete with taller players.
The one-stroke-serve type of game that's been suggested may occur with a decrease in the height of the net-- is this not desirable? Many had commented previously about the effect of increasing the height of the net on the smash and how this would diminish the most dynamic, exciting aspect of the game.
A lot of words are being casually thrown out here, which is somewhat disturbing. Words like "perfect" and "cannot be any more of a superior sport" are rather bold assertions to be making. What is meant by such terms? Is it to mean that you are of such an opinion, in which case the very words are diminished and rendered useless since you have converted their use from value in objectivity to valuelessness in subjectivity? Or is it to mean that when objectively viewed, the only logical conclusion derivable is such? If the latter be the case then if recollection of scientific theory serves, your assertion can never be proved to be true and may (if one should be so bold) be assumed to be true until the first violation of your assertion is observed. Sparing you the agony of a misled life, I shall eliminate this belief at this present time by simply stating I do not think the rules of the game are such that the sport "cannot be any more of a superior sport". Hence any suggestion that your statements are made in objectivity are rendered insubstantiated.
It's been suggested that confusion may exist in the minds of at least one forum member. This is not necessarily a bad thing as we must often be in a state of perplexity before advancements in thought can be made. The word modernize is one that is rather open to interpretation and may lead to confusion. In time this word may begin to make sense but in the mean time I proffer this: If a game is "perfect" (since this is a popular word) but the game changes, is it still perfect? I also offer this from dictionary.com:
mod·ern·ize Audio pronunciation of "modernize" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mdr-nz)
v. mo·dern·ized, mo·dern·iz·ing, mo·dern·iz·es
v. tr.
To make modern in appearance, style, or character; update.
As for my confusion over such shots as "slow drop" and "fast drop", come now. Let us not be snide in addressing the questions of a forum member. If one should desire to not answer such questions then one need not but one should not discourage or preclude such an individual from asking for such information as one of the stated goals of "BF" is: "BF is an online community dedicated to the exchange of information"
It's been suggested by a forum member that an increase in the height of the net of 4 cm would have no effect on the usage of smashes but would have a large effect on the use of "slow drops" and "fast drops". I merely desire proof on such an assertion. Clearly my understanding of such shots is limited so then-- what are the trajectories of the "slow drop", "fast drop" and smash? At the point where they cross the net, what is the expected distance (or clearance) between the top of the net and the shuttle? Still no one has the courage to answer this question!
They may have hundred reasons like the changes in service rules etc.. to support this impemenation.
Finally, we all hate and are against the rise of net height because we used to play at the present net height and we are accustomed to that.
Well, why not try it out? The best way to find out is to try it out for a few games with a variety of players. First try the 4cm net height increase, then try the 3' net. Let us know how it goes.
Thank you quisitor for going through my comments and analysing the same.It is the human nature to oppose changes to things which they have been doing/experiencing for a long period.If the original height of net was 5'5"and you suggested a reduction to 5'1"majority of the players would have opposed it.Really I am dead against increase of net height but I am confident that I can execute heavy weight smashes and winner drops even if the height is increased by 4".Sorry for beating my own trumpet.

I can see how we are so protective of the badminton game we love. As Stumblingfeet said...some of us went on high allert as soon as we heard the word "change", "modernizing", "improving". I guess some of us still shocks and hold grudges to the most recent change. the new scoring system.
if it is raised, short guys like me will have a lot of difficulty. Majority of ppl are not that tall anyway...so I think we ought to keep it as it is
08-06-2006, 05:23 AM #92Originally Posted by quisitor
Proof however for the fast/slow drops is rather mathemetical. you can't give much extra angle with a higher net!
Originally Posted by quistor
2) a slow drop is meant to drop dead right after the net. creating a maximum distance for the opponent to travel.
3) a fast drops is hit faster than the slow drop (duh) but because of it's apce the shuttle travels further and lands about 10inches behind the front service line.
so with a higher net a smash will just get a little flatter, but still keeps it's power. but the slow and fats drops will lose out, because you can't generate the same angles..
ok, here we go.
the top one ahs a normal net, below a higher net (by my scale respectively 2,5 and 3 cm)
In the top one the player can smash (blue) as hard as he can an get it at that angle.
The fast drop (green) has enough pace (and if done correctly deception) to go to the floor fast, and fall short. making your oppent reach and lift. (the downside is msot opponent just ahve to take one step)
the slow drop (yellow) falls so short the opponent has to take an extra step to reach it (the downside is a fast opponent can netkill the slow drop)
now look at the raised net. smash still go hard, and in the court (be it with difficulty) so there's not much change in shot pace.
The fast drop however makes a considerably higher arc to get to the same spot. this means that a player either has to play it softer (negating the effect of a fast paced shot) or hit it deeper into the court (making it easier to retreive)
The slow drop is just bonker to play now. the arc it has to make is just very high (and therefor slow) prone to being netkilled even by fat uncle joe (let alone at top level) so a player can choose to play it faster (and thus deeper in the court) and negate the effect of the opponent having to travel an extra length or play it so slow and give the opponent enough time to take it at net hight...
i have to agree... even after all those posts of yours, i find it too illogical to even argue
rather than net height increase by 4cm, my IQ had just dropped 4 from reading your post...
who? me?
EDIT: oh wait...curse my english comprehension skills...
the thread starter...
this thread needs to be forgotten
On the contrary, this thread is the perfect chance for a brave soul to practice her/his one-against-the-world debating skill.
So, come on, who'll step up to the plate and take a stand?

Hey jerby, great pictures!
Just wondering, why does your little buddy there have a shorter back leg? That must make it hard for him/her to play. Perhaps we should lower one side of the net as a way to accomodate people with uneven limb lengths?
