Denise Lorraine – Vocals
Torrey Ryan – Guitar
Josh Chastain – Bass
Rattan – Drums
Demure: [dih-myoo r] adjective; characterized by shyness and modesty; reserved.
I Am Demure is the exact opposite of what their name suggests. The severely catchy, dare one say even pop-like hooks and melodies of Denise Lorraine, meshed with powerful, edgy rock instrumentals from Torrey Ryan, Josh Chastain and DJ Rattan, I Am Demure's sound is anything but demure. Demure's juxtaposition of sounds contradicts what the era of female fronted rock sound-alikes has come to be.
I Am Demure released their debut EP, Everything Is Black & White, in May 2013 through combined efforts and the expertise and creativity of producer/engineer Evan Rodaniche (Cage9, Powerman 5000). IAD geared up for their debutante ball of their freshman release by eschewing frilly dresses and donning combat boots to play to a packed crowd at their live inauguration.
CD Baby took note of IAD's unique sound, showcasing it as one of their recent editor's picks:
"Meshing the unique vocal style of Denise Lorraine with the crunchy guitars and powerhouse drums, this band takes female-fronted hard rock in an exciting, unapologetic new direction."
Denise Lorraine (aka Demure) fronts I Am Demure with raw, powerful vocals, charisma and a ton of energy. "I don't believe in standing still during concerts," Denise muses. "If I'm not sweating by the second song, something's wrong." While LA was following trends, this Indiana native stuck to her roots and has been one of the few female rock singers in an Indie saturated scene. Though off stage she may appear exactly as her band's namesake, onstage she is aggressive and bold yet simultaneously relatable and compassionate in both presence and lyrics. "I Am Demure is all about bringing what you see inside of yourself out to the surface. We all have inner alter-egos; that person who we always wish we could be. That's I Am Demure. That's what I want to encourage in others as well. It's all about realizing your true potential."
Since their debut release, I Am Demure has been gaining recognition in their LA hometown scene with their vivacious and dynamic stage shows. They successfully garnered the attention of long-time Incubus manager, Steve Rennie, which landed them as first runner-up to Rennie's Music Mentorship Contest on his RenmanMB website community. IAD has become a regular favorite with the North Carolina based online radio station, Rockhard Distributors. The band's sound has also crossed into international territory getting frequent airplay on the UK's hard rock/metal online radio station, TBFM. Out of hundreds of submissions and voting, I Am Demure is currently competing in the quarter-finals of the stations own TBFM Factor Competition. At the end of 2013, IAD stepped off the stage to head back to the studio where they recorded and released two bonus songs; a dance track (Get Down) and a stripped down acoustic tune (Even When). Now they are hungrier than ever to get back on the stage and tear it up.
I Am Demure is "radio friendly – but still heavy – rock." Join in on the fight as little lady Demure carries on in her mission to prove that rock is not dead.

Well you poor, poor souls are still several weeks away from the much-anticipated season premiere of Field of Streams. That does not mean, however, I cannot give you a quick look at some starting pitchers who are most likely not going to be drafted in many leagues, but could be viable streaming options for fantasy fanatics as the season progresses. These pitchers are not necessarily sleepers, per se. As I said, they probably won't be drafted, but who knows? Anyways, over the next few weeks I will be throwing some future streaming options at ya, starting this week with the one, the only, Felix Doubront. Or as I like to call him, "The Other Felix", as in not "King" Felix. I am also not comparing them in anything regards, other than by their names. The Other Felix put up a decentish 2012 season with the BoSox, going 11-10 with a 4.86 ERA and a WHIP of 1.45. What? I said decent-ish, didn't I? Doubront was by no means a world beater or even an unsung hero in Boston's rotation, but I lik

Tabatha Titus noticed when her son, Ian, turned two, he was having problems communicating. A specialist diagnosed Ian with autism.
It was because of Titus' background as a parent and teacher that she was asked to be on an advisory board to develop a program for Bowling Green State University. The program would teach students how to educate children, including those with special needs.
"When they have a child with a disability walk in their door, it's then that they say, 'What do I do with this child? And so now they won't have to worry about that. They are going to know," said Titus.
The Inclusive Early Childhood program will start this fall and it is truly a groundbreaking program because it offers a dual degree. Students will have both general education and a special education license. And the program is intense with 16 to 18 hours every semester for four years.
Titus said the key to the program is keeping children with special needs in the general classroom and not separating them.
"We know that evidence-based, research-based practice, these kids need to be included with their peers and grow with their peers and learn with their peers. So these teachers that are coming through this program now are truly going to know how to meet every child's need," explained Titus.
Mary Murray is the Associate Dean in the College of Education and said that more than 430 students have already enrolled in the program. She said school districts want more of a collaborative classroom, and that graduates of the program will be in demand.
"We know that our students would go to the top of the list as far as getting jobs because they have this special education piece and the general education piece. Now they can choose whether they want to be a general education teacher or a special education teacher, but they are prepared for both," said Murray.
Titus said teachers know their chances of having a special needs child in their classroom is growing.
"They understand that they are going to have children with differences in their classrooms with exceptionalities and I think they want to be prepared," she said.

Rotational Grazing Example
This slightly blurry photo, taken at dusk, shows a newly grazed, now resting area of pasture on the right, and a yet-ungrazed section on the left. We use these electric fence ribbons in much of our grazing management, allowing us to quickly graze, then rest, our pastures, allowing for maximum grass growth and pasture regeneration.
We only wanted the cows to graze the right hand portion, which they did over a two day period. This area is full of common tansy, a plant whose tea can cause abortions in humans.
However, it is also a natural cattle wormer, and high in calcium. Previous to this, the cows grazed sections of our hayfield (back portion of this photo), a mixture of grasses and clovers. Upon introduction to the "weedy" area here along the irrigation ditch, they consumed every tansy plant in sight.
Within several days, as they moved along the ditch, their tansy consumption was down to nearly nil. They had their fill, consumed the minerals and medicinals they needed, and passed back, free choice, to primarily grass consumption.

Red Cows at Sunset
Red Cows at sunset with the mountains behind: This view across our front hayfield shows a typical winter snow and the spectacular Tobacco Root mountain range that is our backyard. Our ranch sits at 5200′, with about 16-18″ of annual precipitation.
Warm summer days (80-100 deg F) and cool nights, (usually in the 40's) lead to high omega 3 and CLA (conjugated linoleum acid) levels in our grasses and hay crop. Our soils, freshly eroded from the mountains, are high in minerals that create sweet, intensely flavored 100% Grassfed meat from our beef animals.
These 26 Red Angus heifers are the beginning of our 100% Grassfed Beef herd. We implanted 14 full blood Rotokawa™ Devon embryos in these heifers in August last year, following up with our full blood Devon bull, "Sabo's Abel". We eagerly awaited the birth of our full blood and half blood Devon calves in May and June 2008. These girls are a wonderfully plump, easy keeping, gentle bunch of cows.

Showing 11 through 13 of 13 reviews
"My #1 Favorite"
This has to be one of my absolute favorites. Even burn, ritch aroma and taste with may subtle after tastes. I have to admit it is not for the faint at heart This is a full bodied smoke from start to finish. One of the most enjoyable aspects is that it burns cool even down to the nub.Byron in Long Beach September 9, 2010
"Great Cigar"
I usually smoke CAO MX2 Toro's and noticed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend in the monthly flyer. I'm one of these people who once they find a good cigar, they stick with it. So as I looked the article over I noticed they come in maduro and a whopping 6x60, so against my judgement I gave in. To be safe, I decided to try a 5 pack and let me tell you, these are delicious. The draw is smooth and the smoke is thick and richly flavored. They burn evenly and the sixty lasts well over an hour! I did have to relight a few times but that happens with most cigars. In my opinion, there is not a better cigar out there in this price range. This is my new permanent cigar of choice.James in Manassas VA August 13, 2010
"The Real Deal"
RPCB... is the real deal... Construction, Appearance, Taste, Draw, Burn and Consistency. This is a big time Cigar. Got them on sale for a great price. But it's an RP cigar so how can you go wrong. 6x60 cigar... I'd put this up against any cigar and I mean that too!!! Famous great job on your part getting this cigar.Larry in Michigan May 19, 2010

Is that all it has really come down to? Every time you turn around, some guy wearing a Hawks jersey is saying, "we're not playing hard enough." Oh, wait just a second. I forgot the rest of what has become a sickening cliche. They're not playing hard enough "…all the time."
Really. Is that your final answer?
It's amazing. A fan base that is constantly accused of not caring enough is now being told by the team's players that apparently, they don't care enough. For all the criticisms of the moves that the Atlanta front office made or didn't make (for whatever reasons), nothing is as ominous as that which just keeps coming up in print after every game, win or loss. The assertion being made at the moment is that it's not about what the Hawks can't do, it's about what they won't do. Now of course, your first indication might be to point to the Hawks' record, which at 7-4, would not indicate that things are nearly as bad as we make them sound. That is, until you examine precisely who the Hawks have beaten, and in what fashion.
Let's not push the panic button. Why? Not because it's too early in the season. That would be the easiest cliche to latch onto. No, we don't need to push the panic button because panic is what happens when that what you least expected and least predicted to happen, is exactly what happens. It's when you have nearly every reasonable expectation of being safe, then finding out you're in a lot of danger. Panic is when you don't know what to do. But the Hawks swear up and down that they do know what to do. They just won't do it…all the time.
A mere eleven games into the season, Larry Drew sounds like a man who isn't beaten yet, but you have to wonder just how much he can take. The man has listened to and observed the same issues for the last six years. Now, as head coach of the same crew, he has to find a way to convince a group of guys to do the very things they already seem to know that should be doing.
The Fault Line
Where do you place Larry Drew on the infamous "fault line?" Is he doing his job? Has he given the team a good guideline and gameplan? Despite the turnovers, which some would argue are a natural by product of the situation and obligatory learning curve, Drew's offense seems to take better advantage of the team's talents than we've ever seen before. With the exception perhaps of Jamal Crawford, guys "get theirs" without having to make a concerted effort to do so. In fact, it's good enough to where some teams find themselves going to a zone offense just to slow Atlanta down. All during camp and preseason, everything out of the mouths of the players suggested that they were very pleased with the new offensive scheme. Okay, so then why deviate from it?
Defensively, Drew has decided against scheming to hide the abilities or efforts of some players, and simply holding guys accountable for defending. It doesn't always work (the argument here is usually that it centers on ability), but there have been concerted flashes of effort from previously unlikely sources. So is Drew to blame here? What is he doing wrong?
Two guys need to be paying very close attention right now. Michael Gearon and Rick Sund. If you think the idea of the core of this team comes from Rick Sund, you might want to think again. Two theories abound here. Either Sund has come up with the idea of the core of Hawks players, and has sold Gearon on the concept…or the concept is Gearon's , and Sund simply complies with his wishes, offering little or no input. Perhaps neither theory matters at the moment. What does matter is how much attention these guys are paying to what their players are saying and doing. Obviously the answer to the fan base during the offseason, was that the team as constructed merely needed a new guide. Now the new guide is saying some of the exact same things the old guide was saying. Again, didn't the new guy bring a new plan? Didn't the players say they liked the plan? Has there been any evidence to suggest that the new plan is ineffective or otherwise flawed?
All this time, we as fans screamed for changes, horrified at the efforts and results of last season's playoffs. Sure, there was a lot of hollering about coaching, and that had plenty of merit on it's own. But there was also a lot of hollering about the roster. Of course, that was when times got tough, especially at the end of the season. Here we are at the beginning of the season, and already the looks have started, with the finger pointing right around the corner. And the noise…the noise is coming from the players themselves.
Is this overreaction? Analyzing too early? Well, after which of the Hawks seven wins has there not been a caveat of some type attached, by the players themselves? Why all this noise from a group of guys with a winning record so far? And what ever happened to being one of the best home teams in the League? Seven games in, the Hawks are an even 3 and 3 at home, and 4 – 1 on the road. Should we rejoice in this?
Every year there seems to be a team that flies under the radar for a while, before coming up strong. Arguably, the Bucks were that team in the East before suffering the loss of starting center Andrew Bogut at the most inopportune of times. This year, the sleeper team is not what some would call a sexy pick. It's amazing what an offseason will do for some teams, and some players. Everyone watches the wonder that is John Wall up in Washington, D. C. Chicago's once bright future is in doubt with the loss of newly signed Carlos Boozer, and the fact that they still must lean too heavily on pg Derrick Rose. But what of Indiana?
No one on their squad short of Danny Granger gets any headlines, yet here the Pacers are, chugging along with a .500 record, not quite the one dimensional joke that they were last season. Indiana has only been truly blown out in one game, a 101-75 loss in Philadelphia back in early November. On the other end of the spectrum, they completely crushed Denver 144-113 about a week later.
Here's the deal with Indiana – you can't just game plan to contain Granger and let the rest of the guys do their thing. For the first time in a while, the Pacers have a fairly solid starting lineup. Guess what that means? They also have a somewhat viable bench, as the guys they were forced to start last year are now reserves. Let's get into the key players.
The addition of Darren Collison to the Indiana lineup has given the Pacers a solid pg with some decent size and shooting capability. Collison has yet to show exactly where he belongs in the East pecking order of point guards, and doesn't figure to be too very high in a field that boasts Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, John Wall, and other credible names (forgive me if I don't mention them all). But, Collison has proven that last season was no fluke, when he filled in admirably for the injured Chris Paul in New Orleans. Third on the team in scoring and first in assists, Collison is shooting quite well from the field and adds some credible defense as well. Collison's play allows the Pacers to bring the lightning quick but fragile TJ Ford off the bench, instead of burning him with starter's minutes.
Point guard play isn't the only thing that has improved Indiana, though. The return of guard/forward Mike Dunleavy gives them another legit perimeter threat with size. The heady Dunleavy can play the two or the three, and makes it even harder for defenses to key in on Danny Granger. As a result, Granger is shooting 48% from the field and 42% from beyond the arc, scary numbers indeed when you're talking about a guy with his talent. But that's not all. Dunleavy also defends a bit, and provides both passing and is a legit rebounder. Better yet, he allows the Pacers to choose between Dahntay Jones and Brandon Rush when deciding who to bring off the bench, rather than having to thrust either one into the starting backcourt.
The Frontcourt
Literally the biggest story for this franchise is the seemingly quite sudden transformation of center Roy Hibbert. Gone is the slow, soft, and largely ineffective first round project that we saw last season. In his place is a guy who is second on his team in scoring, first in rebounding, and someone who looks like he could keep New Jersey's Brook Lopez from making the all-star team a second year in a row. Whatever Hibbert did in the offseason has paid off, and it's showing even against the better front lines in the NBA, as his potential looks to be catching up with his size.
Beside Hibbert is the energetic, athletic, and physical specimen known as Josh McRoberts. He's neither Troy Murphy nor Jeff Foster, but what McRoberts gives up in scoring talent and outright rebounding/toughness, he'll make up for with hustle and effort. Behind him is Tyler Hansbrough, a smart hustler who shoots a very high percentage from the floor, and provides enough rebounding and effort when McRoberts inevitably gets into foul trouble.
Here's the Deal
The Hawks are still more talented than the Pacers. I believe they're still 10 to 12 points better on a given night, in which they play as they should. But the Pacers are on the cusp of proving to be a team that can't be ignored or run roughshod over anymore. They're healthier, they're deeper, they're experiencing some success, and they would like some more. If the Hawks lose focus in this game, they will lose this game, plain and simple. If they "don't play hard enough", I'll wager that the Pacers will embarrass them. Now is not the time for this foolishness, and this ain't Minnesota, where the talent pool alone all but guarantees a win for the opposing team.
Matchup to Watch – Al Horford vs. Roy Hibbert
Last season, Al Hoford made Roy Hibbert look like a draft bust, despite giving up a solid 4-5 inches and probably 40 pounds to the 7′2″ 280 lb center. Will the Hawks start Horford at center against Hibbert, and will it have the same results? Hibbert still gives up the quickness and ability to run the floor to Horford, but his improved game could be a load for Al on the other end of the floor. Could Hibbert force the Hawks to adjust the matchups?
For the sake of Afterthoughts – Jeff Teague vs. TJ Ford
Quick meets quick. Undeniably, Ford has the better jumpshot right now, but his quickness is a problem anytime he's on the court. He'll shoot past Bibby and make Jamal run through one screen too many, so maybe Teague gets another shot to make his presence felt here by keeping Ford from running the Hawks into the ground while Collison gets some rest. In fact, without such an effort, the Hawks could get into all sorts of trouble on the defensive end.
On the other side of the ball, Teague simply must improve his attack. The kid knows how to pass the ball, often to the right people and at the right times, but he continues to be no threat to score.

And doc,
i do find it fascinating that the blazer fan called it right the next day
So are you saying that you know that his LLI caused or even contributed to his injuries? That's pretty impressive considering that you never examined him.
November 18th, 2010
2:36 pm
here is a quote from oden about how he has a limp if he doesnt wear orthotics:
also some interesting comments further down about how the integrity of the body and its mechanics are screwed up on the guy.
limps are not a good thing in a person walking the street, a horse or an athlete, it can portend disaster especially if they are trying to run fast or make cuts quickly or heaven forbid jump and land correctly. if your horse limps, stop riding it same kind of goes for people. limps suggest it is structural and it stresses every joint up and down the body, head to toe. if you want a start up read on how important it is, read a book by pete egoscue, the egoscue method. it is in laymen's terms, so most folks get it when they read it.

It's ok. Maybe you can go back to school for another year so that you can get to the level of reading comprehension where you'll be able to grasp that "Melvin talks out of his ass" was, in fact, the point I was making. I doubt it, but maybe. It's just plain sad that you are so dense that you don't seem to understand that.

No you didn't hurt my feelings Nire. You are not in any position to hurt me. I really fine you to be laughable, how you get can get pissed off on a blog with people you don't know personally b/c they dont agree with you. My life is too good to worry about what some say on a blog… Really, I got a GOOD Life man….
November 18th, 2010
2:39 pm
Good find, doc. I hadn't seen that article yet. That certainly seems to imply that his doctors expressed concern about his LLI causing injuries down the line. From what I understand about his past injuries, that wasn't the direct cause, but that makes it sound like it affects him enough that it was a contributing factor,

No school needed Nire. I have my degrees and my life is comfortable right now….

That's good, Melvin. Stupid people who make spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors every time they type (and who think that they can learn everything they need to know about basketball from looking at box scores) are entitled to happiness too. Ignorance is, after all, bliss.
November 18th, 2010
2:41 pm
I'm glad, Melvin. It's good to see that you've managed to find happiness despite being an idiot, and managed to find friends despite your tendency to talk out of your ass. That must not have been easy.
November 18th, 2010

But I didn't make the spelling, grammar and punctuation errors when it count. So feel free to keep point that out on a blog….

In any case, I can live with typos. I make them myself. I don't generally notice them, actually, so it really was quite petty for me to use that as an example. What is more worrisome is how much of a simpleton you are when it comes to basketball. To you, everything about basketball can be learned from a box score. How pathetic.

nire i really try to be accurate in what i talk about, to the best of my abilities. i am a lot more comfortable talking about the body than contract law.
i know we differ on our opinions about management but i do have some background there as i was a management consultant before medicine so i am a bit more observant having seen how business' are run close up and inside the organization. i saw it from a different side, more the productivity side, therefore we have disagreements there as well. my side was not as firm as the law so i understand if you dont perceive some of my insights as credible or even meaningful and that is all right. some are dead right some are dead wrong. in the field of human productivity it wasnt always black and white just as in medicine for example of, in leg length discrepancy, is it relevant.
ok, i will say this to clarify, could i perdict these injuires in oden? if that is your argument that you have been trying to make, uh no. if you change it to the more appropriate in the case of oden, if i am going to spend big bucks on the guy ….would i have signed off on his health that he would not have a higher predictability of having problems, uh not on your life. a horse trader i am not and i would not have put my medical credibility on the line with such a statement. even then i backed up the guy on the blog who was being guffawed at how we are want to do when he brought up the leg length issue because they truly did not know of what they spoke.
glad to have found the article and glad you took the time to check it out. it was pretty topical and timely.

Fair enough, doc.
Really, I think what lies at the root of my gripe about people's beef with the ASG is not even when they call them "cheap." It's when they say they are "poor" or imply that somehow their personal finances affect the operation of the team – or vice versa. People seem to think that the owners themselves take a profit or loss whenever the Hawks sign a free agent or make a trade, or that when they trade a player or pick for cash, that cash goes into the owners' pockets (an assertion that was made so often this summer that I was blown away). I know from my experience that not only is that not the case, but that can't be the case given the type of business organization ASG is (LLC operating under a franchise agreement) and the strict operating agreements that all teams have with the NBA. The owners sometime have to make capital contributions, but those are mostly non-discretionary. Beyond that, they only ever "make" or "lose" money when they buy and sell their stake in the team. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, the NBA ensures that there is a wall of separation between the team's finances and the owners.
I think that fundamental misunderstanding affects a lot of people's thinking about ASG. It has made me very jaded when it comes to reading people's posts regarding team finances. I think even when people get the basic "wall of separation" concept down, many people still don't quite get that there is no incentive for the owners to make spending decisions based on anything except projected future revenues. Anyway, I'll stop myself before I go off even further on a tangent…
November 18th, 2010

well nire, i think personal finances do affect it when it comes to cash calls which it is rumored to have happened but that is not the daily grind most of us are talking about. i think sydel is a lesser owner because he couldnt cough up some extra dough. i think it was written in more than one place but it too is probably conjecture.
i am more concerned about the culture of the organization, nire. it could be a "cheap" culture or one that extravagant. it doesnt matter which the culture it better be one of value and one that seeks value. that is the one that i find missing here, they sometimes dont go after value. if an extravagant one does not find value then the fan suffers as well. money had been an issue especially when it was in the courts and it affected how the team was run, my read. i was pleased to see the commitment they made with bibby though he is expensive and maybe not the value we could have found if more diligent and smarter before hand. that is where we have come up short. i would not like to watch extravagance wasted and maybe more so and be more vocal, if you catch my drift.
in the mean time, LD seems to earning his money and being of prime value as at least we hear from the players through the press the concepts he is trying to come across with. he has also made some pretty nifty in game changes or pre game plans to execute. now, can we beat a true playoff team on our home court? it has been a while, like may, since we did.
November 18th, 2010

Ray, exactly. that is part of the culture that i am speaking of when i refer to hawks and ownership. it truly is a very diffrrent business model that is closely tied to the people that own it. it is true for many businesses probbly as many businesses there are. as nire says the payoff is down the road whereas most business models require annual success. here i think cilture has a bigger impact. it is more personsal. look to the cultures of the warriors where they decried the former owner or the direct opposites of the lakers and the clips. sorry most businesses would not survive in a true business environment based on competiton, but the clips move on. i mean didnt we seeenough of the rankin smith culture in atlanta to last a lifetime?

It's always interesting to look at old reports before a draft.

I know how bad the Clips are, but man. I feel like I would trade our whole roster to get Blake Griffin. He's like Amare on offense and in transition, and is just as tenacious on the boards and on D as he is on offense. If he stays healthy, I would bet that he will be a top 5 player within 3 years.
November 18th, 2010

Again people need to read before making inaccurate statements, Sam Bowie was the best Center in college basketball the year he was drafted. The Trailblazers needed a center not another guard. Matter of fact, Bowie was a 20/10 player coming out of college and was having a solid rookie year before his injury. No one knows what his career would have been as well as the fortunes of Portland. Hinesight is 20 20!
Moreover, the drafting of Marvin Williams over D. Williams or C. Paul was clearly a huge mistake that the Hawks are still suffering from. However, drafting S. Williams was understandable because the Hawks as stated earlier needed SIZE!!! Drafting another wing player after the trade acquiring JJ would not have made any sense. Now, as before, the Hawks still need SIZE. JC1 should be offered to Portland for Joel Prizbilla. There is no way the Hawks can resign JC1, so it makes sense to attempt to improve the team.
Finally, if the Hawks are serious about becoming a legitimate championship contender, a move for a legit big man is mandatory!

Maybe Josh wants to be known for more than just a great dunker…
How would you guys like a Jamal for Troy Murphy trade? He would be a very solid backup PF. Also, Troy outside shooting would allow LD flexiblity to play him alongside Josh and Horford…
November 19th, 2010
3:06 am
If you guys think powell's D suck, please watch troy carefully.
This guy is present in more poster shots than anyone else in the NBA.
When Kelly Dyer of yahoo made his players' ranking troy was in 15 out of 20 photos of the supposed top 20 PF in the league plus his own pic AND was in seveal other photos relating to the top 20 for other positions.
Obviously this is not a scientific assessment but since I already thought his d was atrocious I laughed my ass off when I noticed that.
Note that on all pics involving opposing PF only in one he is not looking helpless and beaten…

Was it here that someone was "drolling" over Earl Barron? Saying that it looked a better signing than any of our bigs?

November 19th, 2010
8:31 am
I'm not sure who was "drolling" over Earl Barron, but I did make the comment that I would have looked into him this offseason (Etan's spot could have been a possibility).
Barron averaged 12 and 11 over a 7 game stretch for the Knicks last year, so I thought he would be worth a tryout. But nire informed me that Hawks actually saw him up close 2 or 3 seasons ago in camp, and they were not impressed.
That being said, aren't you a little premature in your judgment? Can you really make a decision on him after one game? Much less in Orlando? In only his first or second game of the season?
Dude was just signed, so it's not like he was practicing every day with the Suns players, learning the system, etc.
Again, I'm not saying he will be a very good backup player, because the possibility is that he sucks. All I'm saying is 1) I would have given him a look for Etan's spot and 2) Its hard to make a decision either way after one or two games (regardless of how bad the performance was).

Wally Walker,
I think one of the biggest complaints about the drafting of Shelden was how it went down, not the drafting itself.
Before the draft, there was a rumor out there that BK promised Shelden he would take him at #5, so Shelden reportedly shut down all his workouts for other teams.
And ultimately, BK was unable to find a trade partner to trade down, because nobody had Shelden rated that highly.
If BK had traded down, and gotten Shelden with the 12th pick for example, I dont think fans would have been so upset. Because you're right. We needed help in the frontcourt, and Shelden might have been the highest rated big. But to take him at 5th was too big a reach.
November 19th, 2010

As for the Josh and the dunking, I do wish he would dunk more. Recently, he seems more into jump shots, layups, crossovers etc,. than he does dunking.
And even if he is known as just a dunker, he has shown enough versatility this season, so it shouldnt have mattered. Shawn Kemp was a dunker, but he was awesome.
Taking salary out of the equation, would you trade Josh or Al for Blake Griffin, straight up?

November 19th, 2010
8:51 am
Yes, either. Maybe even both. Griffin is, I think, the best PF to come along since Duncan. If he can stay healthy (and really, his recovery from surgery seems so complete that there's no more reason to think he's more at risk of injury than Josh or Al), it seems all but a certainty that he'll be a top 10 player. I think he's a guaranteed 20-10 guy starting next year and, hard as Al plays, he seems to play with such intensity and such a sense of joy that it's tough to see how it wouldn't rub off on his teammates. I seriously think having a guy like him around will all but force the rest of the team to play up to his level of intensity – he already has had that effect on the Clips. They are going to lose a lot, but from what I've seen, it's certainly not from lack of effort.
November 19th, 2010
9:48 am
If a player (Josh or Blake) can score a bunchof points within 5 feet of the basket, how is that a bad thing? It's like people who complaned that Childress didn't have a jumper, while he shot 55% from the field. Isn't the idea to shoot the ball where you have the best chance to make it? If Derrick Rose has the quicks to get to the rim on virtually every possession, why would he stop that and start hoisting deep bombs? Isn't that why Vince Carter went from unstoppable offensive force to forgettable guard? Because he stopped attacking the rim and started settling for 30% 3-pointers? The idea is to add to your offensive arsenal, not replace your most effective shots for something sexier.
November 19th, 2010
10:17 am
The Clips seem to have some good young players (Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin, Chris Kaman, and even Eric Bledsoe, who I dont know much about). But this being the Clippers, something will go wrong, or somebody will get hurt again.
I remember vava's favorite writer (Bill Simmons ) did an article about Blake after the draft. And he basically talked about the Clippers luck when they get really good players. They get hurt, or the team sucks.
If I'm Blake, there is no way I'm staying with the Clippers and Donald Sterling when my rookie contract is up.
Exactly. The aim is to score, in whichever way you can. Dunk, FT, jump shots, whatever.
And if Josh continues to improve on his jumper, it will open up driving lanes for him. Or if he is driving and dunking on people, it will open up space for him to shoot. He can do both.
November 19th, 2010
10:18 am
I omitted the Hoopshype link in my previous post that said Murphy may be on the trading block. That's the reason why I made the suggestion. Also, didn't Kelly Dyer feature one player exclusively for his position rankings? I think he used Ty Lawson in all the pics for the PGs.
November 19th, 2010
11:18 am
OB, not just score, but score in the most efficient way possible. Volume shooters score. Jamal Crawford scores. A 40% shooter scores. After watching this group of Hawks players for the past 5-6 seasons, I'm not of the opinion that perimeter shooting is a missing skill set.
November 19th, 2010
11:48 am
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to offer a package of Marvin/Bibby or Zaza/Bibby for a quick point guard that complements Teague? We need another quick PG to offset the big minutes that quick point guards need to play…they just wear down in this league.
I just looked at out salaries going forward for the next 2 years. Losing Jamal and even with Bibby coming off the books, our numbers do not decrease enough to bring in a significant piece. The only way we get another starter is to move 2 starters IMO.
Those numbers for Marvin/Bibby/Zaza will continue to eat up the cap numbers that are needed to bring in additional help. Our big 3 takes us to 60% of a 70M cap next year and 64% the following year. I don't see a lot of flexibility, especially if rumors to decrease salary caps 33% are true. Putting the salary cap at 50M will be just suicide for us going forward.
We have to win with our core 3; there just isn't a true way to improve this team unless Teague and a couple of rookies get major minutes. We aren't bringing in equal value for Jamal.
I would have loved to see Cousins on this roster, but Teague has got to start getting more minutes for us to take another step.
We have been lucky to miss Collison and Nelson in those 2 games, or this record would be at .500.
Us missing Marvin doesn't balance out what other teams haven't played with. How sad is it that Marvin can't make this Top 25 SF ranking?…….http://hardcourtmayhem.com/cavaliers/?p=38
Its obvious that there is very little respect for our SF around the league.
November 19th, 2010
12:08 pm
I went back to check and you absolutely right! My bad!
I don't usually read what Dwyer writes so I only checked the PF ranking because I was curious about Smoove's position.
Hence I did not notice that he did it for all positions (weird option to say the least)
Nonetheless, I don't think Murphy would be a good option.
Yes, he rebounds, but he is useless on man to man D and all that with a 11.98 million price tag for this year (his last) and without guarantee that his contract would be of any use since we do not know what the new CBA will bring.
November 19th, 2010
12:08 pm
If Marvin scored 18 points/game, I wonder if that would fix our defense against quick PGs? If Marvin shot 55% from the field, I wonder if that would help us better defend 3-point shooters? If Marvin grabbed 2 more boards/game, I wonder if that would be the difference in being a good/bad rebounding team? If Marvin shot 8 FTAs/game, I wonder if our bench would be more consistent? If Marvin locked down elite SFs, I wonder if that would improve our PG play?
I can see why Marvin gets so much attention, he really is the root of most of our problems, huh?
November 19th, 2010
12:12 pm
I'd take Murphy in a heart beat. I would never turn down a chance to get a top 10 rebounder… especially in exchange for something like Jamal and loose change. A 3 big rotation of Horford, Josh and Troy would work quite well, with each bringing a different skill set.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Huntington compliance officers have issued more than 800 citations to property owners for violating an ordinance aimed at eliminating outdoor junk, trash, high grass and weeds.
The ordinance went into effect July 1. It allows citations to be issued on the spot. Previously, owners had 10 days to clean up their properties before they received citations.
WSAZ-TV (http://bit.ly/1cJPsbT ) reports that 76 percent of the 827 property owners cited since July 1 agreed to clean up their properties before having to pay a fine.
City officials plan to hire a third code enforcement officer to target Huntington's west side.

Do you believe in ghosts? Or are you more like me, in that you're a skeptic but you still love creepy ghost stories? Either way, the news of a British boy supposedly capturing the image of a long-dead Scottish soldier at a battlefield cemetery in France is fun to speculate over.
Last week 14-year-old Mitch Glover took several pictures with his iPhone during a school trip to the Neuville-St. Vaast German burial ground, and he later discovered a pale shape in the left side of one of the images. Glover has since learned that the site where he took the photo is near the location of buried Scottish soldiers from the 114th Seaforth Highlanders -- and some believe you can see the kilt and tam-o'-shanter of a Scottish soldier in the image.
The Neuville-St Vaast German war cemetery in northern France is very close to the Nine Elms military cemetery, which is where 12 N.C.O'S. and men of the 114th Seaforth Highlanders are laid to rest. According to Glover's mother, when she saw her son's photo (which he captured via black and white setting), she thought it was strange enough to show it around:
At first I thought when I saw it looked a bit Tudorish. It looked like Henry VIII with the hat on the side, stood with hands on hips. It didn't look like a German soldier. I thought it just looked out of place. And then a friend of mine said, do you realize that looks a bit Scottish, like World War outfits from the Seaforth Highlanders. I could see what they meant. It looks like they are holding something in one arm. Whether it's a rifle or something one friend said it looks like he's stood on guard over them.
Here's a closeup of Glover holding his photo. I can see how people think it looks like a figure, and I guess I can sort of see something that might look like the plaid of a kilt.
More from The Stir: Couple Sees Ghost on Alcatraz Island & Has Picture to 'Prove' It (VIDEO)
Being the total killjoy that I am, I think it's far more likely that it's a lens flare artifact, a reflection of some kind (like if he took it through a car window), or a good old-fashioned Photoshop job than an actual ghost. Also, it'd be nice if just one of these ghost/Bigfoot/Loch Ness Monster photos wasn't quite so indistinct and grainy. Juuuuuuust saying.
What do you think? Can you see a Scottish soldier in that image?
Image via pentaxtic/Flickr
Why do you have to hit a link to see the picture?? Why the heck wouldnt you put the correct picture on this article. Soo dumb
Um, LLMOMMIE and AUTUMNLEAVES87? The link is right there. And Cari, how hard is it to click a link? Seriously? Just one. quick. click.
I agree with sassykat, the link is right there. There could potentially be some copyright issues why they can't post in their blog, so linking is totally appropriate. Anyhoo, I totally think that it shows a ghost. I really didn't expect it to be so vivid though.
I don't think there's much chance this is what they say it is. For one thing, I would bet that the Scottish soldiers were not out there fighting in the kilts and tams. That's not very practical battle attire.
I do believe there are spirits who linger, but I hope they don't get stuck hanging around gloomy places like battlefields and cemeteries.

1. Or by place of birth (jus soli)
Jus sanguinis is a rule that a child's citizenship is determined by its parents' citizenship. While Jus soli is a rule that a child's citizenship is determined by the place of birth. Both applies in Canada.
In general, if you were born in Canada, you are a Canadian citizen. This may not apply if you were born in Canada and at the time of your birth, one of your parents was in Canada with diplomatic status and your other parent was neither a Canadian citizen nor a permanent resident.
You may also be a Canadian if you were born in another country after February 14, 1977, and one of your parents was a Canadian citizen at the time of your birth.
2. If both parents are Filipinos and their application for foreign (country) citizenship is pending, will that affect the citizenship of the child born in Canada during that period?
Canada follows jus soli principle.
a. Once the application has been approved, will the child acquire the same citizenship?
If the child is born outside Canada, but the immigration status of the parents of such child changes to permanent resident or when the parents acquire citizenship through naturalization, the child may be granted citizenship immediately.
3. If a child is born to a foreign father and therefore acquires the latter's nationality, should s/he still be registered in the Philippines?
Under Canadian law, a Canadian is allowed to be a citizen of another country as well (Dual- citizenship).
4. Why is it important to register the birth of a Filipino child outside the Philippines?
When you register your newborn's birth, you can apply for Medical Services Plan and Canada Child Benefits. Also you can apply for your child's Social Insurance Number (SIN). SIN is required to access various Canadian government benefits and programs such as the Registered Education Savings Plan, the Canada Learning Bond and the Canada Education Savings Grant.
5. Who can register the birth of a Filipino child born in British Columbia, Canada?
Either parent is responsible for registering the birth of the child. Another individual standing in place of the parents may register the birth, if the parents are incapable.
If only one parent is being named on the registration, different rules apply:
1. A mother applying on her own must complete the form and check the Declaration section indicating the father is not being registered.
a. If the father is incapable, the mother must provide proof of the father's incapacity in the form of a Statutory Declaration. Supporting documentation may be required.
b. In instances where the father does not sign the registration form, there will be no information about the father on the birth registration record or birth certificate.
2. Fathers or third parties applying to register a birth should contact a Vital Statistics service representative at 250 952-2681 for further information.
6. What are the requirements for registering the birth of a Filipino child born in British Columbia, Canada?
You have to complete and return the Registration of Live Birth Form. This form is contained in the birth package given to parents during their stay in the hospital. It is also available at any Vital Statistics and Service BC office or by contacting the Vital Statistics Enquiry Line at 250 952-2681.
7. What is the procedure for registering in British Columbia, Canada the birth of a Filipino child in that country?
In British Columbia, the birth of every newborn in the province must be registered with the Vital Statistics Agency. To register a child's birth, complete and return the Registration of Live Birth form to the Vital Statistics Agency.
8. When should I file the application for registration?
The Registration of Live Birth should be returned within 30 days of the date of birth.
9. Are there fees to be paid?
None but getting a Certificate of Birth cost $27.00.

Do you remember the good ol' days when happiness was found in something as simple as crayons, and a coloring book? If you do remember those times, then Crayon Physics Deluxe is a great way to bring the memories back. It is a puzzle game, where you have to draw on the screen to create items in order to progress through the game. It sounds simple, which it is but as you progress it becomes pretty challenging. The game uses crayon like motions, and 'physics' to portray a life-like experience.

Katakombenschulen (catacomb schools) were set up in South Tyrol in the mid-1920s during the period of Fascist Italianization when teaching of the German language was banned (Lex Gentile, October 1923) by the authorities of Italy which had occupied the area in 1918. Approximately 30,000 students in 324 schools were affected. German nursery schools were dissolved too as were all higher education institutions.[1][2]
School teachers in the province were replaced by Italian ones. The population then organized private lessons which were banned in November 1925. Underground education continued illegally. The main organizers were, among many others, priest Michael Gamper and lawyer Dr. Josef Noldin. School books were smuggled from farm to farm and lessons held in living rooms, by the dismissed German teachers and approximately 500 young female volunteers. The Katakombenschulen focused on the teaching of writing and reading in German. People caught educating children faced prison terms and repeatedly caught teachers were deported to South Italy. The 25-year-old teacher Angela Nikoletti died after having acquired tuberculosis during a prison term and Josef Noldin was deported to Lipari in 1927.[1][3][4]
After the signing of the Lateran treaty in 1929 at least religious lessons on Sunday were allowed to be held in German.[1][2]

And a big hug....
Love to you all
Pema xxx
Enjoy your special time with your mom Brit. xoxo
Your mom has been in my prayers for weeks and weeks. I pray hard every night and I am sending all the healing energy that I can for her. I did not know your mom, but from what I have heard she is a great lady. All my love to you and your mom. Tell your mom I said hello and I love her. Brit- you will be in my prayers and positive energy being sent your way with healing energy.
sending you and Bj warm thoughts all the time. You are in my prayers.
Love, Lóa
Dear Brit I am so glad to know that you and your mom will have this special time together to share thoughts and memories. My mom was taken without warning and I never got to say my goodbyes to her or tell her how much I loved her.....This is a very sacred time for you two and you are blessed to have it. With this I will send my love and prayers to you and BJ.
Well... I have to say that she is anxious to get on her way, but still hanging in there. She's trying to think of anything she might have forgotten to do.
What an experience! What a gift to approach something that is considered frightening and final by many with such an optimistic attitude.
Thank you all!!!
Thoughts are with you!
Hi Brit
Sending Bj, you and Lee love and hugs
Sending Angels to comfort you all!
Pema xxxxxxxxxxxx
Brit, your mama was one of the first people I met here nearly 13 years ago. She is a sweet, kind, AMAZING woman and I send much love and Light for a smooth transition for her. To you (and yours) I send loving thoughts, strength and prayers for your heart. xo
It seems to be in the hands of something greater
than ALL of us. i continue to be vigilant in my
thoughts and prayers. Wishing you all tender
loving happy moments as you continue to aid Bj
and help each other thru her transition and
transformation. Still sending much heartfelt
love to you all.
For Brit
Love hearing about Bj's optimistic attitude Brit. How blessed you are to have such an amazing and beautiful spirit in your life. Surrounding you both in hugs
and loving healing light energy. You both are very dear to us all.
Much, much love,
"May you live as long as you want to.
May you want to as long as you live."
Old English Toast
What a Blessing!
What a Blessing it is to be in accordance with BJ in her stay at the train station, waiting for her next train to her next destination. What a delightful feeling to be in accordance with the knowing of one who is in full knowing of who she is and what she is about and where she is next to go to be on her way in this beautiful vast Universe.
The love that I am feeling, connecting with our Beautiful BJ, is beyond words.
Thank you my dear sweet woman for allowing me into your world of beauty.
Walk in beauty now brings a whole new concept to me in thoughts of you BJ. Beauty is expanding ....
Surrounding BJ, Brit and family here and elsewhere with love and light in celebration of a special moment.
i stopped into St Pascal's today and lit 7 candles for Bj.
One for each chakra.
I just got home from Mom's. She hasn't eaten the last two days - says food has no taste and nauseates her. She is drinking some water but not much. The doctors have put her on morphine to use as needed for any pain. She's still pretty alert but sleeps most of the time. Talks about what she wants done with her things and about being with Dad when she is alert.
I'll be going down tomorrow for an extended stay. Will check in when I can.
Love and gratitude to all of you.
Thinking of you
Dear Friend,
I am with you in my Heart and Soul. Love you, Lee and family.
Sending loving Thoughts to BJ.
Love to all of you at this time..hugs and love
Pema xxxxxx
Just catching up
I just signed on the EB for the first time in forever and found this thread....my energy is joining everyone else's....what a wonderful transition she will have with WF greeting her....
my focused energy for you too Brit....
Thinking of you and your mom at this time and keeping her in my prayers.
She is doing what the animals do when they know it is time....they stop eating and drinking to help themselves cross over.
God Bless her on her journey. I am sure her transition will be beautiful for her.
Sending much love and light to you all~ xoxo
Morphine often helps the process along too - even if the official use is "for pain."
So - just letting you know that I'm continuing my prayers for all of you during this transition.
Much love,
Also surrounding BJ and you in my love and prayers, Brit. May angels continue to surround you both in this journey.
Love, Hugs, Bright Blessings,
My heart goes out to you, Brit. I know how difficult this time is.
Much love.
For Brit
Hugs to you Brit. How thoughtful of you to let us know what is going on...
Stay strong.
Much,much Love and Light to you and your family.
May God bless you all with peace in your hearts.
Much love to you Brit
Dearest Brit,
Bj is a magnificent being, like your father. You chose well when you chose whom you wanted for your parents in this incarnation. Please give your Mom our love and please ask her to give it to your Dad as well.
All our love,
Robbie and Clark and Roxie
I´m glad to see that she has morphine to use in case of pain. So important for all sakes, since pain takes far too much physical and emotional energy of people in her condition. It´s most often only in the last hours of the endstage, when people have becomed totally unconcius and the breathing is very weak , we can wonder if constant morphine injection may have helped the process along. But usually the doses are calculated for not doing so.
Hugs and good luck to you both Brit ♥
I'll keep on sending good vibes, energy and prayers your way
May strength be with you
There are so many misconceptions about morphine. It is an old med that is so valuable for comfort measures. In Florida I had Haitian caregivers who put black voodoo beads under the pillows of those given morphine because they believed those patients to be marked for death.....morphine is very, very often given to relieve air hunger....not pain...because it relieves the increased heart rate from lack of oxygen because as one dies the lungs fill with fluid and it relieves the feeling of drowning. It is a wonderful drug for easing the transition....not because it causes it. Just FYI
Brit, Much love to you and your family at this time. I know angels are surrounding BJ and will help her when the time comes.
Brit just thinking of you and your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Prayers for Sister Lura
Rather than posting over this important, love and light filled thread for BJ, I thought I would just add to it a prayer/healing request for Sister Lura.
As some of you know she has been having a hard time since taking a fall a few months ago and fracturing some vertebrae.
Since that last prayer request there have been some different developments and they are putting her through a battery of tests this week as they suspect that cancer may be present and the source of her intense pain. They should have some results/answers by the beginning of next week.
She is a little shy about asking for herself and so she has given me permission to place this request.
She has great faith in the healing power of this group.
Dearest Lura,
Stay strong!!! Thinking of you!
I love you lots and lots!
Your presence lights up this board.
Get well soon!
Dear Lura, So sad to hear of this. Please know that I am sending you much love and sincerely hope that things turn out for the best!! Keep us informed my friend--we truly care about you!!
Much love,
Sister Lura has been in my prayers daily and I pray that there will not be any cancer found. She has had a rough start for 2013 and she will continue to be in my prayers. ❤❤❤
Brit- your mom and your family are in my prayers as well. Healing and positive energy being sent to everyone.
To Shelley, Paula, Joanne & Robin ...
Thank you so much for all positive intentions aimed in my direction, Shelley, Paula, Joanne and Robin ~ they mean a lot to me.
My health updates will be noted in a separate thread now so that this one can stay focused on dear BJ & Brit.
Thanks, guys! I love you!!!!!
Lura :)
Dear SisterLura, I'm keeping you in my prayers as well. Thanks for your tender care Shelley, in bringing us to light and holding BJ in it as well.
Continuing to join all here in prayers and loving energies
to surround BJ, you Brit, and all the family. What a radiant
beacon of Light she is. Wishing a continued peaceful transition
for her as she steps into the Light and into WF's loving arms. We are
all blessed to have known her.
Love n Hugs...Peg
Rocking you in my arms. Holding you in my heart. Loving you through.
Love, Deb

|We're in the midst of a major remodel and decided that now is the time to update our closets. We have 2 reach in closets in the foyers, one reach in linen closet, and our walk in closet in the master bedroom. I've looked online at the various systems -- wire and laminate and I prefer the laminate. I'm concerned about the strength of it though and want to make sure I can put my heavy items on rods and shelves without worry. What brand did you use -- happy, or not so much? Would love your suggestions.
Follow-Up Postings:
|I spent countless hours researching, pricing and getting estimates for our master closet and foyer closet. Prices and quality varies all over the place and price and quality don't necessarily equate. Long story shorter, I decided on the Elfa closet system from the Container Store. It took some measuring and a good deal of planning and I had to order everything and pay for shipping because we don't have a store in our area. DH was a little flumexed when a semi pulled up and dropped off boxes and boxes of closet parts. But everything was exactly as planned and easy and fun to finally put in place. Everything hangs from a single top rail and vertical pieces. We have drawers, tons of shelving, versatile hanging storage, basket storage and even jewelry drawers. I think I did our master closet, foyer closet and my sewing room shelving for about $2500. They have good sales a couple of times a year that are worth waiting for if you can. You can check them out at Containerstore.com. The staff was extremely helpful as well.

|I've made several small online purchases of Elfa units from the Container Store and they proved to be easy to assemble, sturdy and attractive. During my last visit to NYC, I went into one of their stores and an associate designed a free-standing storage unit for a laundry closet -- with sliding baskets, shelves and a closet rod on top -- based on dimensions that I provided. I specifically wanted their free-standing unit, which I haven't seen elsewhere, because I did not want to put screws in the wall (for reasons not pertinent to this discussion.) The design software in the store is more powerful than the online DIY version and I was impressed with the quality of the service and recommendations. It's easy to get carried away with accessories and finish options when you see everything first hand (making the cost spiral), but the associate was able to revise the design several times and give me pricing for each variation, so that a final decision was easy to make. After the unit was assembled in my house, I decided to purchase an accessory that I ordered online. All I can say is that every purchase I've made either online or in the store has been flawless and the quality of Elfa is much higher than other systems I've seen. There's a 25% sale on shelving going on now and there's also an annual sale of all Elfa items.

|It might matter what you mean by heavy. I used Elfa (and some Metro) pieces for my walk-in pantry. The shelves hold heavy countertop appliances (e.g. stand mixer, waffle irons, etc) along with stone mixing bowls without a problem.
We did a custom closet for the master bedroom, but wish we'd done an off-the-rack-type system through California Closets or Elfa. So much easier to reconfigure or repair! They have some really nice-looking laminate options too.
- Posted by beaglesdoitbetter (My Page) on Mon, Sep 26, 11 at 19:05
|We are having our cabinet maker make our closet systems for our new build. The cost was comparable to off-the-rack w/ 1/2 inch domestic maple plywood construction and we got to design exactly what we wanted and it is going to be a lot fancier looking:
|Our house was built in 1915 so closet space is scarce. One of the smaller bedrooms has a 3/4 bath off it. We made that bedroom into a dressing room. We will have to sell the house someday, so I didn't want shifting the space back to a bedroom to be hard or messy. I used Elfa freestanding units. Love 'em. They are easy to assemble, sturdy and reconfigurable. The best accessory is the shoe pullout. For the first time ever, DH puts his shoes away! Least favorite accessory, the tie/belt pullout. Feels like it uses more space than it's worth.
I like the units so well that I used them inside a normal closet, too. Much easier that trying to find studs and patching plaster, etc.

|Hello, new to this forum. I want to try the Elfa for DH's closet,so good to see you are satsified. He needs more space for his clothes, and our closets are small in our 60's ranch. We have a Container Store about 10 min away, and I'd like to take advantage of the 30% off sale.
If we really like this one closet, we can do more.
- Posted by thrilledtobuild (My Page) on Mon, Jan 9, 12 at 12:23
|We just had California Closets do all of the closets in our new build. I had consultations with Closet America and Closet Factory as well. To be honest, I really liked the Closet America product most of all. It looked great, and the quality was impressive. Closet Factory was okay, but they wanted to cut out the baseboards behind the parts of their system. I'd just paid the builder and painter for those baseboards, so that didn't thrill me!
In the end, the price of California Closets was competitive, their turn-around time was lightening fast, and now that it's all installed - it looks fine. Closet America would have looked better, but the function is the same. And it's a closet system inside a closed closet. I'm pleased.
|I see that ikea has lots of closet ideas....did anyone look into these? Elfa seems to have a lot of fans here, wonder about the cost/functionality comparison....
|I do like the PAX systems at IKEA. In France it isn't unusual to have a bedroom without a closet. Friends there used a wall of PAX in their den/guest room. Nice if you are looking for something that looks like a wall of furniture. There was plenty of room for my clothes in a small section. They showed me the rest of the storage and it looked like it worked well for them. The downsides are the size and weight. They aren't inexpensive either either.
The Elfa works better for me because of the portability and flexibility.
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 12 at 19:37
|Update: We had the Elfa installed this past Sat. I also repainted the inside of the closet and trim, which had probably not been painted in 20 years. We picked it up but had them do the install. The other side of the baskets is not shelving but another short hang area. The closet is only 66 in long, so not even 6'.
Plus, DH got rid of some of his old clothes to Goodwill, so that was bonus.
I don't have a picture yet of it with the clothes back in. I want to get the sliding tie rack for him.
What type of hangers are you going to use?

|We used rubbermaid wire systems in all our closets, money was a issue at the time. They work well for the price. But I highly suggest using laminate or wood for any shelves...small items (purses, socks, small shirt) tend to fall through the slots in wire shelves and it is a bit aggrivating. Even our cheap closet systems can hold a TON of stuff, just make sure you bolt to a stud or use drywall anchors.
- Posted by gsciencechick (My Page) on Fri, Feb 3, 12 at 19:53
|Our system has little plastic "placemat" type things that cover the vents in the shelves. DH was reluctant, but I think they will help.
- Posted by cupofkindness (My Page) on Sun, Feb 12, 12 at 21:25
|We jsut installed an Elfa system in a hall closet and my sons' bedroom closet. We spent about $475 for these two reach-in closets. My sons' closet is 56" wide. It now has three 16" deep shelves (one shelf has a full lenth clothes rod attached to it) and three 12" deep shelves. The former layout had about 13.5 linear feet of shelf space, now it has nearly 28 feet of linear shelving. It holds so much! The hall closet was basically a huge mess, just jam-packed with stuff that made no sense the way it was stored. At twenty-six inches wide, it now has six 12" deep shelves, and they way the shelves are attached to the standards, three is about 3 feet of clear space at the floor of the closet so my son has somewhere to go in case of a tornado.
We had to get some of the shelves re-cut because they were too short, about an inch short. The designers want to measure your closet for shelving 2" shorter than the overall width. We did not want gaps at either end, so by requesting new, slightly longer shelves we have shelves that go from one side wall to the other. We carefully measured where the shelf would end in the store. I was very sorry to have to return to the store during such a busy period of time for the Container Store. But of course there are so friendly.
I have mixed feelings about the cost of this project , it was a lot of money. The $475 total does not include any extras, just shelves. However, I will say that the platinum wire shelves are fabulous looking and seem extremely sturdy but flexible layout-wise too. I would recommend Elfa. Saw the Rubbermaid system at Lowes, and it looked very similiar, except that you have to measure and cut your own shelving. That was enough to steer us away from a DIY system. Elfa was 30% off, we could not have afforded to pay full price for these shelves. This annual sale ends tomorrow.

Kitsap's prosecutors won't take on Pierce County detective's threat caseAugust 26th, 2011 by josh farley
The Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office, asked to review alleged threats made by a Pierce County Sheriff's detective to a Pierce County deputy prosecutor, has declined to file charges, according to an article in the Tacoma News Tribune.
The News Tribune quoted a letter sent by Kitsap County's Chief of Case Management Ione George:
"Under the law, we cannot file criminal charges just because we believe that a person committed a crime," George wrote. "Rather, we must be able to prove the case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. After reviewing this case, I have concluded that our office could not meet that burden of proof."
The circumstances of the threat are rather bizarre. Check out the story when you get a chance.
