Best Steam Irons 2013
Apartment Therapy's Annual Guide
Whether it's to iron all your shirts every laundry day or just pulled out to freshen up your curtains, a reliable iron is a must-have. We looked around the web at the best irons and found six models that tend to be most positively reviewed.
• Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron from Amazon At just under $40, this iron is a great budget option. Of the over 1,500 reviews on Amazon, more than 1,100 give this iron 5-stars. $39.99
• Electrolux Perfect Glide Iron from Amazon This iron popped up on a couple of top iron posts from around the web and also got good reviews from Amazon users. $79.49
• Panasonic Steam Iron from Target Reviewers have stated that once you go cordless, there's no going back. This cordless iron has gotten all 5-star positive reviews at Target.com. $55.99
• Hamilton Beach Smart Lift Iron from Sears This is a perfect iron for the clumsy among us. Instead of sitting upright, a base pops out of the bottom for resting the iron while in use. Plus, the auto-shut off mode can be turned off. $69.12
• Panasonic Cordless 360° Freestyle Another cordless option, this iron also has a cool design. It's reviewed highly by users. $99.95
• J420 Steam Iron Station from Brookstone If you're really serious about ironing, you may want to look into a professional quality iron like this one. Reviews around the web boast that this iron is as close to professional quality as you can get from a home iron. $299
In researching irons we found that Rowenta, while considered a luxury brand, hasn't reviewed well. Many users complained that their Rowenta irons died after less than a year of use.

I will keep this post in mind should my beloved (!) Maytag cordless iron give up the ghost. I agree - cordless is beyond fabulous - love it and glad that I have options.
Rowenta. Worth. Every. Penny. Well, nearly 1000 pennies :)
I love my Rowenta Eco Intelligent.
I don't iron. :D
I try not to post anything other than positive comments, but I have to agree with Indy J. I'm in the market for a new iron and was excited to open this post and thank you generously for the reviews, but this is lacklustre at best. Great were the reviews Domino offered where they actually tested the products and offered information based on real experience. Disappointing.
I've had about three Rowenta irons over the past 20 years. While I *want* to like them, I find that inevitably, regardless of the purchase price (and I think you paid more than $10 for the iron) they start to leak after not very long. Yep, sure enough, my latest Rowenta just started to leak. This will definitely be my last one (my current iron I purchased after reading favorable Amazon reviews, and thinking, oh, this German company must have figured out how to stop the leaks by now. Apparently not.)
Agreed with the Rowenta comment. Once you go Rowenta, you don't go back. I'm on my 2nd one (it gets used every day) and I won't go back to those $29 specials. Ever.
Rowenta - the one and only.
I am shocked there is not one on the list.
I like heavy irons. Light irons are no good.

I like heavy irons. Light irons are no good.
My husband does more ironing than me, due to law school (he wore suits during clinic semesters). He loves our Rowenta iron, which we've owned since 2010 and has survived weekly use for more than a year. He irons his shirts right out of the washer, so leaking is not an issue for him. I will iron my cotton dress shirts out of the washer, as well, but that's all the ironing I do. We're looking for a good professional steamer to freshen our dress suits.
I would never buy another Black and Decker. It has the world's most annoying auto-shutoff. And then that breaks and the iron won't stay on. I replaced my third in a row with a Rowenta and I am with the others who love theirs. I will never go back.
I have the Rowenta pro iron steam station and its the best thing ever. I mean, as far as irons go.
I have the Black and Decker Classic, and it is a dream iron. A good home iron is all about weight, which the B&D Classic has plenty of though I've had this less than a year so no perspective on if it lasts over time.
I'm a fan of Rowenta too and I hate ironing. I didn't realize how much easier it is with a good iron after years of using whatever cruddy one my roommates and I had lying around the apartment. My Rowenta was only about $50 on sale at Macy's and it hasn't given me any trouble (on the rare occasion I use it !)
I thought it was odd to see no mention of Rowentas...then I got to the comments. Glad to see lots of others agree it's a great iron and you don't go from a Rowenta to a cheap iron.
I have the Panasonic Steam Iron and completely agree with the above advice...once you go cordless you don't go back. And while I still use an ironing board when I need to iron a men's shirt, most of the time I use an ironing blanket thrown on our dining room table. Using a cordless iron + a blanket has made life in our too-small apartment much easier.
I will say that my attempt to use the Panasonic Steam Iron to steam curtains (as you would a portable steamer) was a FAIL. I think you still either need to use a large steamer, or take the darn things down and steam them and then press them.
Rowenta. Nothing else. My mother once entered the store, and asked for an iron. Girl showed her this, and that iron, and talked about them vigorously. Than she asked again - Do you have an IRON, Rowenta iron?
Than girl smiled, and showed her the expensive stuff from glass cabinet ;-)))
I have one for 10 years, and it still works great. Although I bought a new one last year for some "lighter" ironing (also Rowenta) for my sewing needs my old, heavy one is irreplaceable. It has a stainless steel plate that can be easily cleaned, and has not yet leaked, although we have very hard water here.
I got a Rowenta iron because of good reviews. I don't just iron clothes after laundry, but also do tailoring and need a heavy iron with good steam (when I use the steam). After 6 months it has started to leak out of the bottom - the part of the iron where the electronics go. That's a BAD thing. Now I've done more research and found that this is a very common "feature" of Rowenta irons, and once this one dies or catches on fire I will not get another. I want to like them, but I can't understand reading the comments of people who are on their third Rowenta iron that has started to leak out of the bottom. That's not a function that I want in an iron.
DeLonghi Stiromeglio Compact PRO 300 with pressurized boiler. Bought this from Amazon 3 years ago because I was tired of wasting time and money with Rowenta products that everyone raved over and I never found one lasting more than a year and with less than stellar results. This DeLonghi iron was approx $150, it makes ironing ENJOYABLE...haha, really, it does. Came with a 3 year warranty. At 2 years 10 months, it failed, but DeLonghi happily replaced it when I cut the cord off and returned it to them. I am enjoying my 2nd iron and hope it lives a long and happy life with me.
J420. I take my ironing seriously. I loved my Rowenta but it broke. With a teflon plate the J420 doesn't leave any shine and has enough weight to get the job done.

Motorcycling needs new blood to ensure survival. Honda's take on this is to attract people into motorcycling with a cheap, honest and stylish workhorse – and the CBR250R is it.

Honda's chunky little 50cc Zoomer is a weird cross between a twist-and-go scooter, a Tonka toy and a stripped-bare army Jeep. It's easy to ride, nippy and stylish. Honda claim low emissions, it has lots of bungee hooks and there's lots of storage space, thanks to the skeleton frame and lack of bodywork. They arrived in the UK in 2005, ...

Strictly speaking, the BROS 400 is heavy, underpowered and outdated. But the cheap grey imports are surprisingly nice to ride – they're well balanced, steer well and the engine is flexible, torquey and characterful given its 33bhp output. That also makes it legal for new riders on a restricted licence.

The Honda CB600F Hornet uses simple ingredients, thoughtfully combined to create a motorcycle far better than you'd guess. Old Honda CBR600F engine plus a basic frame, cost conscious suspension and upright bars make a versatile motorcycle that's fun and practical. High level exhaust, USD forks and wide rear tyre add a dash of pzazz. The CB600F Hornet suits shorter bikers well. - Check out hondahornet.co.uk for ...

You Found a WHAT on My WHERE?!
Michelle Kemper Brownlow: I don't know anyone who likes going to the only place where it is acceptable for a man or woman who is NOT your significant other to ask you to put your knees behind your ears while they ... well, you get it.
We all experience minor nuisances when it comes to the body part in our panties, and I am the queen of Waiting It Out. But a couple of weeks ago, I had to make the call. Kicking and screaming, I had to go.
First, a MALE doctor walked in. I guess when it's not your yearly checkup, you get who they give you. So, I began explaining something to him that he has never experienced. How could someone without a vagina even have the SLIGHTEST idea what I was feeling "down there"?
I took my position ... ick. He took his position ... double ick. He reached for the speculum and said, "Hmm, the warmer wasn't on." Lovely! He had no idea how THAT was going to feel, either.
"I'll just warm it with my hands ...." (OK, that was just weird -- in many ways.)
He got everything "situated," then said, "Ohh."
All right: The last time a doctor said that when she was down there, she told me I was pregnant. My heart raced: "I just turned 40. How will I ...?"
"You have a polyp on your cervix. That's what's causing your problem."
My brain shifted gears: "I just turned 40. I'm too young to die. I can't ...."
"It's a benign polyp. I can easily grab it with this, twist and pull it right off."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I said. "Won't that hurt? Won't I be stuck to the ceiling if you grab, twist and pull?"
"No. It's virtually painless."
"Oh, because YOU have had something yanked out of YOUR vajayjay?" (Well, I didn't say that -- but I wanted to.)
I bit the bullet and had him take it off then and there. I felt nothing. Whew.
Tests came back fine. My nuisance has resolved itself. And I don't have to go back for a while. Double whew!
Why don't men have female penisologists? It's just NOT fair!
omg toooooo funny! lmao! u r one funny character.
Don't be baby!
I really like your information. Thanks, I look forward to reading more of your posts.
If at first you don't succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd.

Uptown Pub owner Brian Joiner has managed to achieve what dozens of others were unable to do for many, many years. What did he do, you ask? He managed to acquire the space that former owner Jenni Messina (Jennivine) had been holding onto throughout the Uptown boom as the land became more and more valuable. The almost 100-year-old space was built as home and needed to be updated to meet code. A tasteful burgundy awning has been fitted over a large window on the outside, and the inside has a mixture of hunter green and brick walls with distressed dark wood throughout. The bar slings a number of unique imports along with a menu that offers much more than just peanuts. Joiner offers an array of burgers, nachos and pulled pork sandwiches. Grab one of the antique booths with some friends, and chill with good grub and a beer. -- Jeff Speicher

Tell me, what am I supposed to do to convince you that I am no human being?
I'm a monster searching for an answer to this complex place called our minds.
I'm like a rat in a maze trying to find your heart.
Every turn I take leads me to another place further away from my destination.

Pakistan Council for Science and Technology (PCST) is organizing a series of workshops on Academia- Industry Linkages. In this connection, the Council, in collaboration with Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI), organized a Seminar on Applications of Nanotechnology in Textile Sector, on 21st April at Faisalabad. The seminar was attended by local industrialists, FCCI representatives, researchers from R & D organizations and local universities.
Engr. Sohail Bin Rasheed, President, FCCI in his welcome address admired the efforts of PCST to organize this very important seminar of national interest. He stressed on the need for an effective collaboration between R & D organizations, industry and academia. In this regard, he assured all kind of support from FCCI.
Dr. Tariq Mahmood, Chief Research Officer PCST, in his remarks highlighted the mandate and functions of PCST and explained the background for the organization of this event. The speaker also highlighted the role of PCST towards the establishment of University- Industry interaction for product development and research according to the need of our local industry. The activities under PCST project, Technology Foresight were also highlighted by the speaker.
The key note lecture was delivered by Prof. Dr. N. M Butt, Professor and Chairman, Preston Institute of Nanoscience & Technology (PINSAT) on the applications of Nanotechnology in Industrial sector with special emphasis on textile industry.

Khan, Principal Scientist, National Institute for Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE) Faisalabad, on the topic, Exploiting the Potential of Nanomaterials in Textile Sector.
After the presentations there was a long discussion session among
the participants and speakers. During this session participants asked many questions including the possibility of using nanotechnology in textile industry for value addition and innovation. At this point a couple of managers of from textile industry informed that their industrial units have already started the application of nanotechnology in the textile product and major portion of these products are exported to other countries.
All participants agreed with the commercial benefits of nanotechnology based products. They suggested that the local research organizations must starts serious efforts leading towards the development of nano materials and chemicals, at indigenous level to reduce cost and assure the availability in time.
At the end of session the president FCCI suggested the establishment of a joint working group of researchers, and professionals from industry that may meet from time to time to explore the chances of application of nontechnology for value addition. The researcher will divert their efforts to develop the nano materials and chemicals needed by the industry.
Finally, the president FCCI thanked PCST, speakers and participants for their efforts in making this event successful.

Is that an actual quest or something in the header image? If so i somehow missed Drek'thar being wheeled about in a chair (which is something I'm pretty sure I'd remember seeing). I realize he's old & blind and everything, but I've never actually seen (or read) anything about him being unable to walk on his own.
It's a quest in Hillsbrad Foothills. The Alliance have set up camp on the cliffs, and High Warlord Cromush sends you to recruit the Frostwolf Clan to help kill them. Drek'thar *refuses*, saying that while he's done some bad things in his time, helping the Forsaken would be *worse*.
Cromush is floored by this, and with good reason - the Frostwolf Clan is something of a moral compass to the orcs, as they were exiled for not falling in line behind Gul'dan's grand plan. For them to refuse the Horde's call to battle is a moral indictment of the Horde. It's a bit like being bitchslapped by the Dalai Lama.

Hoyt's carbon risers are the strongest and lightest riser designs ever. We designed and built a structure that truly optimizes the strengths of carbon fiber. We custom-tailored specific carbon fiber formulations, stiffness and weights in specific parts of the riser for the best performance. There are more than 40 different carbon components in each Hoyt carbon riser, fully integrated and co-cured to make a single immensely strong but lightweight structure. It's why Hoyt carbon risers are so shootable, quiet and vibration-free. This patent-pending technology is featured on the all-new Carbon Element and Carbon Matrix Plus.

Justin Bieber has a pat defense these days ... as in, "I'm being framed," and we've learned that's exactly how he's attacking 2 criminal investigations targeting him.
The L.A. County District Attorney is currently deciding whether to prosecute Bieber for allegedly spitting in a neighbor's face and threatening to kill him after the neighbor confronted the singer for driving his Ferrari at breakneck speeds in the neighborhood.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... Bieber's people have told the D.A. they have a witness who will swear under oath ... Justin didn't spit. Our sources say the D.A. will not make a decision until they're able to interview the witness. FYI ... law enforcement sources tell us they have at least one witness -- aside from the alleged victim -- who will testify he saw the Biebs spit in the guy's face.
As we first reported ... Justin's being investigated for reckless driving after allegedly racing his white Ferrari Monday night on the streets of his gated community. Sources connected with the singer are quietly floating the defense that Justin was not driving.
Here's the problem. We broke the story ... Keyshawn Johnson chased Bieber down in his Prius and then blocked his driveway. We're told Keyshawn actually ran up the driveway into the garage and eyeballed Bieber jumping out of the car and running into the house. Law enforcement also tells TMZ ... multiple witnesses "clearly saw" Bieber driving the car.
We're told the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. will refer the latest Ferrari case to the D.A. shortly. If things keep up, the D.A. is gonna need a special Bieber prosecutor.
It's the Lilo excuse.
Bieber I DIDN'T DO IT, IT WASN'T ME!..................my father is very interested in nailing bieber hard doggy style But i just want to nail in All positions 38 year old pattie mallette...
any new Bieber news ? cause this is old already..

Oh really.
The black kid was driving. Nice try. Under age. Juvy takes the hit thinking he's cool, like that's suppose to mean something. No. Next.
When I saw "JB say's he didn't do it"... I thought he was referring to any of the following:
Gave a woman pleasure...had a woman at all...sang a note correctly...was original...showed some class...had a thought other than "I'm soooo cool!"...had sex with Selena...went a day without makeup...danced in his mom's underwear...danced in his dad's underwear...danced in hobo named "Skidmark's" underwear...plucked the peach fuzz off of his miniscule testes...got wood looking at a woman...gave his chauffer "Dwayne" a back door cream pie...gave a ******* to "Lil' Twist"...inserted that hamster in his back door an hour before giving it to the little girl...sang live anywhere...cried into his pillow for 3 hours after being booed...mixed up his KY and his hair gel...was discovered butt banging his Ferrari's stick shift in the garage by the maid...declared to Selena, "But I WANT to go to prison so I can be the belle of the ball!"...
DEPORTATION back to Canada, and no permission to enter the USA..................ever.
The DA ain't gonna do anything about it. Keyshawn now there starting to play you for a fool. It wasn't me.Lol..ya right
Why can't the boy just stop speeding in the neighborhood? Is it a mental block?
Might be kind of fun to see who the real homies are. Two NFL playahs or a bunch of Lil This's and Thats.
Ah, the Lindsay Lohan defense. Well played. We all believe everything she says.
Bieber, Lilo and Amanda Bynes are forming a jazz trio, The Lilting Liars. Some song titles include "I Didn't Do It," "Stop Pickin' On Me," "Ding BONG, I Lost My Head," "Haters," and "Ur UGLY, BITCH!!!" (That last is a Bynes solo.)
Do us all a favor and Knock him out Keyshawn. Please.
Yeah right, snivelling little dweeb

Grants available for community gardens
A few years ago I followed three gardeners at different communty gardens through the season. Community gardens are very important, providing a place to grow for people who don't have the room at home.
The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) has partnered with the Darden Restaurants Foundation to make available grants for community gardens that benefit families and individuals of low-income status.
This would be a great opportunity to obtain funds to help build or expand a community garden that fosters stewardship and outdoor activity while donating the produce to those in need. The grants will range from $2,500 to $7,500 and will be awarded to 10 communities.
Application deadline: Wed., Feb. 6, 2013.
Learn more about the grant and benefits of community gardens here.

Playing Parasites
Centre for Global Eco-Innovation graduate researcher Stephanie Bryan takes a look at why rugby fans have been learning about plant parasitic nematodes.
Pests in the press
It's not often plant pathology makes it way to the back pages of the newspapers, but last month, amidst the talk of starting line-ups and defensive tactics, plant parasitic nematodes were a hot topic at the Six Nations Rugby Tournament.
Scotland were due to face England on 8 Feb 2014, but concerns over the pitch conditions at Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh raised doubt over the ground's suitability for international rugby.
Nematode damage
The cause of the extremely dilapidated pitch was a serious infestation of parasitic nematodes, commonly known as roundworms. The soil borne creatures puncture and feed through the roots of plants, resulting in yellowing patchy turf that becomes a weak opponent against the power of 60 studded rugby boots.
The groundsmen originally reported the problem in November of last year and tried to tackle the infestation by spraying the pitch with garlic. Although the polysulphides in garlic have been found to have nematicidal activity, the nematodes were too far established, which led to the poor playing conditions in February.
The pitch was heavily criticised with many players complaining the surface is no longer fit for playing and a decision has been made to install a new £1.25 million hybrid pitch next season. Edinburgh rugby games have been relocated to nearby Meggetland stadium to save further damage to the pitch that has become inaccurately nicknamed "Maggotfield" in the press.
Global problem
Plant parasitic nematodes are not just the menace of every groundsman's nightmare, but are also a great concern in agricultural systems, responsible for an estimated 11% loss in life sustaining crops worldwide. Susceptible plants include soybean, wheat, sugarcane, potatoes along with several other economically important crops.
Many different methods have been used to control nematode populations, including broad-spectrum chemical insecticides, biological control, solarisation and natural pesticides such as the garlic used at Murrayfield. None of these methods are without their limitations and have varying efficiency.
As the demand for sustainable food production increases so too does the need for reliable sustainable plant-pest control methods.
New solutions?
My PhD project as part of the Centre for Global Eco-Innovation in collaboration with Arcis Biotechnology and funded by the European Regional Development Fund is aimed at exploring the ecological impacts of a potential new nematode control agent.
If successful, the new product will help to provide a much needed sustainable and effective nematode control for a range of agricultural and commercial applications in the future, including improving the quality of the world's sports pitches.
The Centre for Global Eco-Innovation is the only centre of its kind in Europe and is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund. If your business needs research help with an innovative project that could deliver economic or environmental benefit, please contact email@example.com

How To Hack a Walmart Crib
Erin's February Jumpstart Project 2009
Title: Our Crib W-Hack
Name: Erin Time: 2-4 hrs. assembly (24 for drying)
Cost: $125 + Crib
A DIY solution for getting a custom boutique look from a big box crib.
Click above for pics, below for the how-to and be sure to give Erin a THUMBS UP if you find this project helpful....Tools:
- Drill (with phillips head & drill bit)
- Sander Hammer Circular saw (you can also have Hardware or Lumber Mill cut all your pieces.)
- 1 standard crib with stationary sides (We used the Walmart Baby Mod Crib, style Olivia)
- Approx. 16'- Decorative wood (We used Red Oak)
- 1"x 4" 4 -Bun feet 6" high or industrial casters (200lbs min)
- plywood or MDF sheet (3/4" or 5/8" depth) for base
- 8 -brass phillips head wood screws 4 -2.5" phillips head screws
- wood glue
- 4 sheets sandpaper 150 grit
- 4 sheets sandpaper 220 grit gloves
- rag for staining
- Wood stain
- Polyurethane satin finish
- 1 brush 1
- 0-12 finish nails 1 1/2 Approx
- 12'-rounded pine molding 3/4"
I love the look and versatility of the boutique cribs. But these days we have a pretty strict budget for our apartment. As a result, the most affordable and versatile option for us was a big box store crib (from Walmart) which we new we could modify. We created a new base for the crib that would match a dresser we already owned instead of using the rest of the set. For the next baby, we also plan to create a changing bed that will mount on the top to save space.
Here's how we did it:
1. Remove the screws from the base of the crib and remove any pieces of the base. You want to have all 4 stationary sides attached to each other, the top should be self supporting and solid. The mattress base should also be attached to the sides.
2. Measure and then cut 4 lengths of decorative wood 1"x 4" to wrap around the crib. You do not need to cornice the ends. We kept the ends exposed on the long lengths, they are perpendicular to the short lengths.
3. Sand all the trim pieces (and the bun feet if wood) with 150 and then 220 sandpaper until smooth.
4. Stain all the pieces (again including the feet if wood) with your choice of wood stain and then coat twice with polyurethane.
5. Cut a piece of MDF or plywood (no less than 3/4" in depth) to fit the bottom of your crib, there should be no overhang. This piece should not bend at all and be able to support approx. 200 lbs. This is the new base of your crib.
6. Attach the feet securely to the new base of the crib in each corner, make sure if you are using casters you leave room for the wheels to turn freely. We used wood bun feet and attached them with wood glue first (let dry) and then drilled wood screws through the top of the crib base to the feet beneath to secure them.
7. Turn the crib over and using wood screws now attach the molding pieces to the sides of the crib from the inside, making sure the molding pieces hide the crib base board and the hardware of the feet. If you measured correctly this should be a snug fit that does not require glue. You may need to pre-drill holes if you use a hard wood like oak. 8. Place the base (with feet attached) on the crib (feet up). Use pieces of the 3/4 rounded molding with finishing nails to secure the base to the molding (you may need to pre-drill holes). This should keep the base from moving or from allowing you to lift the top from the base.
We used the Walmart Baby Mod Crib, Olivia

off topic, but is that the armless side rocker from Modernica?? I am really contemplating getting one...it looks easier to nurse in than the one with arms that you see everywhere. Anyone know if it is comfy to sit in and use?
Hard to judge without a "before" picure...
What Alison said. I was clicking back and forth between pictures trying to figure out what had been accomplished.
I think that the last picture was the before? Definitely tough to tell the difference though...maybe a picture along with the dresser you described.
The Olivia crib ($299) tax ($21) plus the hack ($125) hours spent working on it ($) = almost might as well buy fancy crib.
I think this spoils the fun of the Olivia's (relatively) cheap chic -- LOOK AT MY CUTE CRIB! YOU WON'T BELIEVE THE PRICE.
And you can barely tell the difference after all your effort -- the before is over there on the right, alisonGSF.
I think you guys did a great job but the change is probably a very specific to you change.
Sorry :(
Yes, I checked the Walmart site and the last photo is the before shot. I agree, I really had to look to notice the slight difference. I, personally, wouldn't go to that much work for something that will only be there for 2 years. I'd rather put the effort into something longer lasting. Great tutorial though.
Maybe I'm just a worrywort, but a crib is one thing I would never hack.
Well, it's pretty, but it's sure not noticeable. I wouldn't have spent the extra money doing such a very small change.
I'm also with tequila red in that I'd never hack a crib.
Well, I guess in the future I will have to think more carefully about entering into any Apartment Therapy contests. You guys are a bit tough! My intent was to pass along a modification that someone might want to use to personalize their child's space. I did include other leg choices that would make the transformation a bit more dramatic. A subtle change was all that we needed to make the big box store crib work in the room. Just for the record, for our budget, the difference between $450 and $900 is worth the extra effort. I also considered people's reaction to the crib modification in terms of safety. I decided to go ahead with my submission because the crib base we created is actually a lot more sturdy than the one on the original. Hope this is helpful to someone.
P.S. That is an armless rocker, I created it from a fiberglass shell (purchased at a flea market) and a base (purchased on ebay).
The hack is subtle, nice to have the crib now match the rest of the furniture. I bet it looks amazing. Maybe change the title to reflect the change of the wood/style on the bottom and pics to show how it now matches the rest of the furniture?
My big concern is the cord hanging near the crib.
Thanks for your concern, of course the cord is not there when my child is in the crib. The room was in a bit of disrepair when we took the photo. We also don't make him sleep on the metal box spring frame, also in the photo. We let him use the mattress and some linens.
Erin, Walmart Crib Hacker and "child endanger-er"
I think it looks great and although it isn't a dramatic change, if you are happy and excited about it, that's all that matters!
Kudos also by being confident about your own craftsmanship that you're not worried about it meeting "modern safety standards". This runs parallel to the CPSIA act putting the mom & pop toy shops at risk just because something wasn't tested. As if a homemade teddy bear is going to contain lead! (FYI this legislation has been put on hold for another year. Woot!) Anyway, I've always wondered why the crib that my mother or my older sister was brought up in is suddenly not considered "safe". This is slightly off topic, but any thoughts on using vintage cribs?
1. "modern saftey standards" can be over the top. However, the cribs that we used allowed kids to get their heads stuck in bars, sufocate and generally die much more easily. So if it is "over-kill" standards wise, that is fine with me, if it results in just one "under-kill"
2. If you didin't change anything much with the slats etc. it should still be safe
3. I am surprised that none of the "bit tough" folks reading this blog haven't commented on the photo of the baby with the power tool...
I don't think that the modifications made by Erin to this crib would make the more risky; if anything, by stablizing and reinforcing the base, they have made it safer.
I think the crib looks much better and sturdier with the change!
laurabelik --
The biggest issue was that older cribs had no rules governing the spacing of the slats or bars, so that as Carder said, babies often got their heads stuck in between. That's actually why bumpers were invented -- to prevent babies from getting their heads stuck between the slats. Alas, bumpers created a whole new set of problems, and are now being used even when there is no reason to use them beyond the aesthetic (kids get strangled and smothered when they become entangled in the bumpers).
You can look up modern slat spacing guidelines and then just measure the old crib you'd like to use. We have about 3-5 antique cribs in the extended family and when a new baby comes along new mom is offered some options and the safety standards are re-checked. I remember us tossing an old playpen but many vintage cribs are perfectly safe, sturdy and won't off-gas like new construction.
re: vintage cribs - I think lead paint is also a major concern.
erin - I think it was because your hack was so well-done that it was hard to see the difference at first. I think the new legs and having it on casters are great while still maintaining the integrity of the crib.
i would suggest using only formaldehyde free materials for anything in my home especially where my child were concerned. mdf typically has high concentrations which will outgas over time. also any dust created from sawing is unsafe. standard plywood is better but only "NAF" plywood is certified formaldehyde free and considered "safe" of course most furniture you buy contains these materials but if given the choice...
While safety is of the utmost importance, I think that there's a point when one can go overboard with it - very similar re: the recent ohdeedoh post, "What's Eating Our Kids?"
This is a very good hack, for people who want the Oeuf Classic Crib ( http://www.designpublic.com/shop/oeuf/3037 ) and don't want to spend $1000 it is perfect. If you want the silver legs you can find them in the "as is" section at IKEA usually. The bedding really makes the crib.
Nice job.
I think the hack looks practically the same. I kept clicking back and forth from the hack to the walmart picture to see the difference and I can barely tell, but if you are happy with it all the power to you.
I modified my son's twin size bed too. Instead of using the cheap slats that were supposed to be included but weren't, I bought some 3/4" plywood and cut it to size and popped it in the bed frame. It looks the same but I have the satisfaction of knowing my small change had improved it greatly, I wouldn't exactly enter it into a contest though.
i understand that you were trying to match it to your other furniture, but $125 doesn't sound right, it should of been less. why didn't you just redo the stain on the existing base and replace the feet?
Just a note on vintage crib safety- the slat spacing is a really serious concern. Even if your baby has a larger head (hey, big brain!) that won't fit through the slats, the REST OF HER BODY can wiggle out and then her head would be stuck. Risk of broken neck. Especially scary if the bed is higher up. Sorry to bring up that image, but I think it's best to stick with the latest standards for cribs.

Nehalem Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nehalem Bay is a bay formed by the confluence of the Nehalem River into the Pacific Ocean in northern Oregon.
The city of Nehalem (pop. 233 in July 2009) is situated on US Highway 101 between Garibaldi in the south and Cannon Beach in the north.[1]
West of the bay, Nehalem Bay State Park is located on the sandspit separating the bay from the ocean, where elk, coyotes, and several species of birds live. The park has a long beach, where centuries-old Spanish shipwrecks can be found. The park has campsites open all year[2] and yurts, as well.[3]

Here's a letter I got a couple of days ago.
We live in a small world. I have a request - but I need to explain, so bear with me. My mother is in a nursing home. I visit her every day and in the course of my visits have come to know some of the other residents and I regularly visit with a number of them. I met a new resident in the hall some weeks back and we have been greeting one another and exchanging a few words. I could tell from his skin color that he was a cancer patient, and I have since learned that he is. He is very sick, Stage 4 prostate cancer. Two weeks or so ago I saw him in the hall and he was wearing a MUSA shirt, but he was tired and we didn't talk. Last week he was riding a recumbent in the parking lot with his son watching - wearing MUSA pants. I asked him about the pants and he told me he was an old Bridgestone fan. He wasn't feeling well, but as I was walking away his sister rode up to visit on a beautiful RB2 that he had bought for her. Tonight he showed me his trike that he has stashed on the 2nd floor of the nursing home. He rides it for therapy. The short(er) story is that he and most of his family members ride Bridgestones from your era. His name is Nick Cassell, and he has one of each Bridgestone model, I understand he locally raced an RB1. I talked with him tonight. He remains a big fan of yours, back problems have kept him from buying a Riv, he has been on recumbents for some time, but enjoys the MUSA gear and admires the Riv bikes. He said he has chatted with you in the past. I want to get him something for his room and thought a big Riv pennant would be nice. If I buy one will you write a "best wishes …' or something and sign it? I know he would appreciate it.
Robert C. Barr
The pennant is easy, the pennant—done. What would you do? Can we/you do more? Nick has Stage Four prostate cancer. It has spread around, and there is no Stage Five, and I think thre's no recovery, which rules out get well cards and "You're in my prayers."
What does it not rule out? — from strangers—us here, although we have spoken, it has been years; and you out there. Don't go away—-in a minute or so I'm going to offer up a good, easy idea that any of you reading this can pull off without a chance of offending, with no awkwardness, with no even dread-of-doing.
I recently finished Mortality, the book Christopher Hitchens wrote while he was dying of esophageal cancer. On page 18, and then 37-43 or so, he gives advice on how to talk to people who are dying of cancer. You will either be that person, or will know people on that bike and will find the tips useful.
I think — rather than think already longer than the already two hours I've given this What can we do? question — it comes down to this. Draw a simple bicycle, a one-try/first shot-at-it bicycle. Do it on a Genuine Postcard and use a Genuine Stamp and sign your name and city/state and mail it to:
Hooverwood Hospital
7001 Hoover Road
Indianapolis, IN 46260 -4169
attn: Nick Cassell
Postcards, he can flip through or put on the wall. Postcards are so great, stamps look so good, and this one's easy. Nick will know he registers and matters and is being thought about by kind strangers, and that can't be a bad thing. If you have children, what a good project (this, suggested by a customer whose kids sent him cards),
A customer came by, a 2TT orange Sam-owner, and told me his friend Eek in Thailand wanted bar-end shifters (I wish we could all adopt the Japanese abbreviation BES from now on), so he made them out of wood:
And yes, they work. What other major component could be made of wood and work?
Not an accessory; a component. I am thinking none. OH yes, rims. Many've reminded me. Wood rims….wood rim rides?
REMAINDER OF THIS PARAGRAPH IS A VEER-OFF, no need to read. In the late '70s a friend of mine, a junior racer raced a pinkish orange Masi with wooden rims. He had to monitor his spoke tension with changes in the temperature or humidity, something like that. High maintenance. The benefit was better gluing. Wood doesn't get hot and melt glue. Wood rims are kind of the silk fly lines of fly fishing. I fished a silk line—a Kingfisher brand from England—in the early '70s. The good: Skinny, less wind resistance (so better casting), and less water resistance (so less drag, better drifts). The bad: they didn't float well and got gummy if you didn't air-dry them on a line-winder after using them for several hours. You had to re-lube them mid-day sometimes. Think that's a no-hassle joy? I also used gut leaders (non-vegan, actually made from cat guts). I didn't use them a lot, but enough to have the Gut Leader Experience. The good: This is a stretch, but you tied them with a simple figure-8 knot, the simplest and fastest of all fishing knots, but it works only with gut. The bad: Brittle when dry, had to keep them in a "leader wallet" with moist wool pages, and the breaking strength for 4x leaders was about a pound. I had 6x tippets that tested about half a pound. A 3wt silk line on a chalkstream, OK, but two-pound trout in weed beds and weak thick tippets wasn't a good combo.
FLASH: I just got a photo of Eek's wood brake levers. it's not a prize-winner, the photo, but if you look hard at the lever hoods and try to identify them by contour, you'll see they're not anything you've seen before. Anyway, they are wood. So there you go.
This is not the cockpit of a tweed rider… and I wonder if "Morgan" is an unusual name in Thailand.
And here is a photo of Sam rider Morgan and wood parts maker Eek:
We're getting a new rim next year. It's going to be wild, will make tons of sense.
Please do not forget about Nick Cassell.
More later this week.
———and this just in——-
Broken carbon crank arm. It's not like this can't and hasn't happened to aluminum (although the same could not be said of steel), but the whole thing with carbon is how strong it is, how it makes mere metals seem like ancient toy mud in comparison.
Although, you know…looking it it, it seems that Pollywog Flipper pedal or whatever it is sure has a long lever on it. Well, sometimes things just happen.
Nick Cassell. Postcard. Draw a quick bike and don't tell him he can beat it. Address is up-post. Let's get on it!
I just did mine. Maybe I shouldn't have set such a high bar:

For many families, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a green-bean casserole flavored with cream of mushroom soup and topped with a can of fried onions. We're not looking to usurp anyone's sacred dish, but we couldn't help but think about the sweet-and-salty braised green beans served at many Chinese restaurants and how we might combine those two dishes. In the end, we came up with this delicious mix of beans sauteed with soy sauce, garlic, and maple syrup, then topped with crispy shallots. It's easy, fresh, and fun.
First, fry the shallots: Add 1/2 cup oil to a medium-size skillet and set over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add shallots and salt; cook, stirring, until browned and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
Next, make the beans: Fill a large saucepan with 2 inches of water and set a steamer basket inside. Arrange beans in basket, cover, and bring water to a boil over high heat. Steam until not-quite-tender, about 6 minutes; then drain. Meanwhile, set a large (14-inch) skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add garlic and cook 1 minute; then add beans, 2 tablespoons water, soy sauce, and maple syrup. Cook, stirring often, until beans are tender, another 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with fried shallots.

SURF CITY, NC (WECT) – Officers with the Surf City Police Department are warning residents about a potential scam in the area.
According to police, a real estate agent told authorities they received a fraudulent check from a company named Kitsap Tractor & Equipment for the sum of $5,450.
A spam email was also sent to the real estate agent saying the company, located in Silverdale, WA, had finally mailed the check via Fedex Courier Service with a tracking number.
The email went on to say that the real estate agent would need to deduct the full amount for the reservation and have the remaining funds sent to the company's travel agent via Western Union.
Notify the police department if you ever receive an email, phone call or anything in the mail stating anything about Western Union or anything about winning the lottery. They will forward the information to the Attorney General's Office and to the FBI.

S'mores Ice Cream Sandwiches
Every year I make a big deal out of choosing and baking a special birthday cake. And for a good reason. Every year on December 17th we celebrate two special birthdays, so of course the cake has to be extra amazing! I don't only do this for my birthday, though. I like baking for everyone's birthdays! My specialty is delicious layer cakes, not decorated cake mixes or sheet cakes with too much icing. Last year, we had a maple crunch layer cake, which we made by hand and was a hit at our birthday party. This year, though, I thought just baking one cake would be a little boring. So I racked my brain until I figured out what the perfect birthday dessert would be, and settled on these ice cream sandwiches. Chocolate, ice cream, and cookies all in one! What could go wrong?
Chocolate and Potato Chip Cookies
Here's another potato chip recipe for you; I told you I'd make you something sweet! Sweet and salty is definitely a thing. Think salted caramel and chocolate-covered pretzels. Obviously Kettle brands already knows that, otherwise they wouldn't have made sweet & salty flavored chips, but I took those chips a step further and mixed them into chocolate chip cookies!
Raspberry Whipped Cream Truffle Cake
Together with my sisters-in-law, I threw a surprise shower for my mother-in-law, who is getting married today! My three-month old baby made it hard to do a lot of the preparations, but I insisted on making a centerpiece cake for the party. Continue reading
Temp Tee Passover Desserts: Cream Cheese Truffles and Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese and Whipped Cream Frosting
It's hard to believe that it's already time to get ready for Pesach, but Purim has passed and Passover really is right around the corner. This year, we're preparing with this easy, no-bake dessert that requires no special equipment (because maybe you only have KforP bowls and forks!).
Double Pumpkin Biscotti
Chocolate Caramel Slice
Even though we're Jewish, it's impossible to ignore all of the Halloween in the air! That means tons of candy and treats for the kids. For my kid, it's homemade candy; so if you want to make a special homemade treat, give this recipe a try! And if you can find the correct sized tart pan, buy one for me. I'll pay you back.
When I saw the photo of this candy/dessert in my friend Daniella's Bon Appetit Desserts book, I KNEW I had to buy the book right away. And I did, thanks to the Amazon app on my iPhone. Then I bookmarked way too many desserts and put this one off for a little while. I'm glad I came back to it. It was actually quite easy, and I had all the ingredients in my pantry except for the sweetened condensed milk. That's easy to find in the supermarket. Oh, golden syrup is great. If you don't have it, you can use corn syrup, but I don't like to use corn syrup. I find Lyle's golden syrup in the regular supermarket, but if you can't find it, try Amazon. Continue reading
Almond Milk
I'm not sure if it's just because I have a baby who will be turning one soon or because it's just a fad, but there's something about nut milks that I just can't stop hearing and reading about them wherever I go. Now, nut milk is exactly what it sounds like. A drink made out of nuts. In this case, almonds. It's not milk in the traditional comes from a mammal who just had a baby way, but it's a nice dairy-free alternative for baking, drinking, cooking, and definitely marinating meats that you can't use cow's milk for (think fried chicken). Continue reading
Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream
At work, our clients bring us a ton of chocolate. Bars, boxes, liqueur-filled, and truffles just to name a few. Some with only Russian words on the package, and other more familiar English ones. Well, many of these treats go uneaten by me, and pretty much sit around the kitchen table for a while. But when we get a box of Ferrero Rochers, they don't last more than a day. I have to run to the kitchen to get some before they're eaten by my coworkers. Let me tell you, they have good taste. Continue reading
Passover Chocolate Walnut Cookies
My friend Paulette sent me this passover cookie recipe, and though I was already baking marshmallow pecan logs, pie, chocolate cake, and macaroons, immediately after reading the recipe, I knew I had to bake these, too. They came out fudgy and airy, and were definitely my favorite pareve dessert at the seder. If you like chocolate, give these a try. They're simple enough to make, kosher for Passover for everyone involved, and impressive looking, which is the most important part. Plus, they freeze well. Score! Continue reading

Kara DioGuardi, a songwriter with dozens of top 10 hits, is now nearly a year removed from her last appearance on "American Idol."
She was thrust into a thankless role on that show, meaning a role nobody quite knew. She didn't either, based on her book "A Helluva High Note."
So when she sensed that "Idol" producers last year weren't 100% committed to her, she decided to beat them to the punch and resigned first. That also opened up doors for her, including a Bravo reality show that fits better in her lane: a competition among songwriters.
"I love that it's a show that brings songwriters to light," she said in a phone interview earlier this month. "A lot of people don't even know it's a job. There's an army of people who do this on a daily basis and make a great living out of it."
Here are her takes on various topics:
- Gone Country: DioGuardi has recently had great success in the country music realm, including the recent Carrie Underwood hit "Mama's Song" and the No. 1 Darius Rucker hit "This." She is now working with Georgia's Billy Currington, Little Big Town and the Band Perry. At age 40, "I don't have to be someone going to clubs partying it up," he said. In country music, "I can be a woman who's about to get married or write a song about their mother… it allows you to really live in your truth."
- Mentoring: On "Idol," DioGuardi was frustrated she couldn't really mentor the contestants. On 'Platinum Hit," she did. "I felt like it was my job to give them that tough love. You better make sure your hooks are catchy and melodies make sense. Many young writers think they're way better than they are. We have to break them down to build them up."
- What she learned from "Idol": "I got comfortable in my own skin on camera. That was a real learning curve. It was really tough. They didn't explain my role. Was I taking on Paula's role? But everyone loves Paula! It was bad. It was a bad place. Peopel didn't even know how to pronounce my name!"
- Working with Jewel as co-host/judge: "It was great. She's smart. She's funny. She's coming more from an artist perspective. I'm coming from a songwriters' perspective. There were times we disagreed. It was always very respectful."
- Don't imitate: During the opening episode, one songwriter gets reamed for aping Elton John. "I call them on it" when they copy artists. One woman Sonyae Elise had a great riff "Love It or Hate It." "That b**** has something going on," she said she thought immediately. "She had fire and she came from a truthful place."
- On co-writing songs: "Platinum Hit" features team writing because that's common for successful songwriters. "One of the biggest things with cowriting, you have to be able to really edit yourself," she said. "You have to know when your idea is not as good as the person next to you. It's not about who came up with the lines, it's about getting the best ones whether it's yours or somebody else's."
- And sometimes, even a hit song isn't "perfect": Kara had co-written Kelly Clarkson's "Walk Away." She wishes the line "I'm looking for attention/ Not another question" to "I'm looking for intention." Woman, she said, already get plenty of attention.
- Noting how succinct her book was (which was less than 190 pages, not counting the index):"I really wrote this book like I would a song." Each chapter is based on a song she wrote. "I didn't have to take anything out. I wrote exactly what I wanted to write. I only went back in my history as far as the history related to that song. So it's not a full autobiography.
I could have talked with her for another half hour. I had plenty more questions. But my 15 minutes were up.
Just this week, Bravo also announced a possible reality show following Kara around titled "Kara."

I always enjoyed Jewel's music, but her stint on "Nashville Star" as a Judge/commentator/mentor, did not sit well for me. To me and some friends who watched the show, she was sometimes over-critical and snotty towards some of the younger female contestants.
That was the year Melissa Lawson won – but haven't heard much of Melissa since her after-show song came out and she sang at the Olympics.. If I remember right, she was the mother of 4 or 5 children and had once tried-out for American Idol. Anyone hear much about her the past couple years?

Thanks Rodney. I'll acknowledge that Kara was thrown into a bad situation at Idol. First, people thought she was there to replace Paula…which actually happened. Then, many people hated the 4 judge idea enough to lay the blame on Kara.
The problem I had was more about her lack of warmth the first season and then her trying to over-compensate for that during her second season…to the point where it got icky(she and the guest judges becoming bff's, her over-the-top bits with Casey James and his shirt)
I think working with Jewel in a new series will show us who the real Kara is because I'm not sure that we saw her on Idol.

To borrow from you: "I skipped "Platinum Hit" but don't think I missed much". Was never a Kara fan and don't believe this would change that.

I did not watch Platinum Hit, it was not on my radar so I forgot about it. On another note, my daughter has brought me over to the dark side. She has declared J-Lo's song her current favorite, made it her ring tone and plays it all the time. I now find myself singing and dancing to that song throughout the day.

Hi y'all,
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend.
Kara was put into Idol at a bad time. We didn't need/want a 4th judge. Her attitude last season when it came to buddying up with Simon and virtually ignoring Ellen was awkward and uncomfortable to watch, imo. Still, good luck to her. I'm not sure I'll watch, but it is summer and the TV offerings are lacking so I might.
Rickster, thanks, bud! Kelly looked quite lovely and sounded great. Tho, she somewhat overpowered Seal to my ears. Or maybe they're just well trained to her hear sing above anyone?
May 31st, 2011
10:08 am
Good day mates!
Not sure what it is about Kara, but she comes across to me as a little bit of a conceited SNIT! I can't get over her coming on stage on AI to outdo "bathing suit" contestant. I thought that was inappropriate and tacky. JMO

Taryn Simon's Complex exhibit entitled A Living Man Proclaimed Dead and Other Chapters I-XVIII made its way to the Corcoran Gallery of Art here in DC, after spending some time at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I had the opportunity to see it a couple of weeks ago.
The exhibit is technically categorized as as photography, but it is definitely much more than just a simple photography exhibition. In a way each piece is a mini-exhibit in itself, comprised of portraiture, narrative, and objects that are carefully curated. Woven together, they explore stories that are all at once historical, contemporary, significant, and controversial.
Simon's artist statement identifies the exhibit as being an exploration of "bloodlines and their related stories," but each piece has much more depth than the explanation suggests. Needless to say, to explain in intricate detail how and what each "chapter" tells its particular story would certainly be a lengthy task.
Each piece comprises of three parts.
First, one or more large frames on the left of each grouping shows a series of portraits of each bloodline the artist photographed over a period of four years, in almost every continent. Below is a family from China.
The second component in her pieces is a text panel that identifies each subject photographed. From time to time there are blank frames or obscured subjects – all of which add intrigue to the story.
Below the names is a narrative of the bloodline, and then below that, descriptions of the objects depicted in the succeeding large frame.The artist certainly did not limit herself to the traditional notion of the bloodline – and included groupings of animals as well as children in orphanages.
The one grouping that was interesting to me culturally and socially as well, was one showing the bloodline of a Filipino man from the Igorot communitiy, who was brought over to the US for the St. Louis World's Fair. The "chapter" was dense with issues that deal with history, cultural identity, xenocentrism, and could possibly also relate to more contemporary topics like immigration.
Artists like Simon certainly steer contemporary art in new directions, with her work becoming not just aesthetic compositions but also vehicles of discourse for relevant contemporary social issues. Her medium and methods might not be as spectacular as some other artists working today, but the stories and messages so deeply embedded in her work give them their own unique sense of brevity. You will definitely leave this exhibit curious, questioning, and wanting to know more.
The exhibition is on view at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC until February 24th.

Pittsburgh Pirates (25-28)@
New York Mets (25-29)
Tuesday, May 31
Citi Field
Attendance: 26,198
Game Leaders
W: Meek
(1-1) 4.09 era
L: Dickey
(2-6) 4.39 era
Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Neil Walker hit the tie-breaking two-run single in the eighth inning and Pittsburgh overcame a career-high 10 strikeouts from R.A. Dickey and beat the New York Mets, 5-1, for their first victory at Citi Field.
Brandon Wood added a two-run base hit in the ninth for the Pirates, who were 0-8 in their first two-plus seasons of play at the Mets' new stadium. Josh Harrison had two hits and an RBI in his major league debut.
James McDonald allowed six hits and a run while fanning five batters over six innings in the start for the visitors. Evan Meek (1-1) threw the seventh to get the win.
Dickey (2-6) gave up five hits and three runs over 7 2/3 frames and fell to 0-5 in six home starts this season.
Jason Bay drove in the lone run for the Mets, who continued their power struggle with their seventh loss in 10 games to end the month of May. They have gone 10 consecutive games without a home run, the longest stretch for the team since 1980. Daniel Murphy hit the Mets' last home run on May 20 at Yankee Stadium.
Dickey left his last start in the third inning against the Cubs due to right heel pain after he fell running to cover first base, but the right-hander didn't show any effect of the problem on Tuesday.
The Pirates, who lost Monday in the opener of this four-games series, had just three balls leave the infield over the first seven innings Tuesday. One came via Jose Tabata's double to right to start the game, another on Harrison's single to left in the third, and the other a Walker fly out to begin the seventh.
"I definitely felt good with it," Dickey said of his knuckler. "I think definitely the warm weather helps. I continued to tell myself to stay the course, be consistent with that."
It fell apart for the Mets and Dickey the next inning. Ronny Cedeno singled to left to lead off. Dickey retired the next two batters, but then hit Tabata with a pitch. Harrison lined an RBI single to right and advanced to second on the throw. Andrew McCutchen walked, leading to Walker's base hit up the middle that gave Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead.
"It's not like anything I've ever faced before," Harrison said of the knuckleball. "The first at-bat I'd say I saw maybe five of them and I had a pretty good idea of how to see it. Later in the game it showed up big in the eighth inning I was able to put a good swing on it."
The Pirates tacked on the insurance in the ninth, and the door was opened thanks to an error on shortstop Ruben Tejada. With Bobby Parnell on the mound, Cedeno grounded a ball to Tejada, but his high throw to first pulled Nick Evans off the bag. Dusty Brown singled to right. Pinch-hitter Xavier Paul fanned, but Brown stole second and Tabata drew a walk. Wood then blooped a hit to left-center field to open a four-run cushion.
Angel Pagan doubled to right leading off the second inning, went to third on Justin Turner's fly ball and scored on Bay's two-out infield hit. McDonald raced off the mound to field Bay's slow roller toward third, wheeled and fired to first, but the ball arrived at the mitt of first baseman Lyle Overbay as Bay touched the base.

I sort of feel bad for Tyranade. Yet I'm also an Illidan fan too. lol Anyway, Tyranade to me deserves an updated model. I mean, here's all these other leaders, especially Garrosh and Thrall with big changes...she's never had one change whatsoever. Even her husband's had a few changes. Wouldn't hurt every eon to give a girl a makeover, Blizz. lol
MusedMoose said...
Well, after ten thousand years, she's pretty set in her ways. ^_^
But seriously, I agree. And I think part of the problem is that Tyrande hasn't had anything to do in the game - most of the time, the faction leaders got updated models because they were major players in the game's happenings. I think the only time I've seen Tyrande outside of Teldrassil is in the pre-Cataclysm events, when she joined all the faction leaders in Stormwind to discuss the elemental invasion.
Here's to hoping that sometime soon, Tyrande plays a major part in what's going on in the world, and gets a new model to go along with her role.
Deathknighty said...
If we get an Azshara expansion next, which I think, and hope, we will, we're fairly likely to see a whole bunch of Tyrande badassery. Or, she'll be put in the forefront and made to act the comely wife for Malfurion.
herra.ledonne said...
Rather than a makeover, I'd prefer they un-lobotomized Tyrande or whatever the hell they pulled to make her stay holed up in the Temple of the Moon for all these years. Sure, the lass was kind of a dick back in WCIII, but 'tleast that lass had a personality.
