Some of the players who could be available at 27 include:
–Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
–Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
–Brandon Burton, CB, Utah
–Aaron Williams, CB, Texas

Really going to be a long offseason
January 17th, 2011

I said last year that the Falcons needed a top wideout with their first pick! They still do!! Outside of Matt Ryan..tne draft picks have been a bust!
January 17th, 2011
12:55 pm
DE or OL, definitely
January 17th, 2011
12:56 pm
I think it's kind of hard to call Roddy White a bust at this point. In case you didn't notice, he led the NFC in receiving this past year.
The entire Falcons team stunk it up on Saturday. However, Ryan does need more options at WR, fast ones. I'd like to see that remedied by bringing in a veteran wideout to be Ryan's #2 guy. Although, I'm not sure who will be available.
We need to continue to build on defense. Another pass rusher, another cornerback, something…
January 17th, 2011
12:57 pm
Dled any chance we get in the running for the cornerback from Oakland so maybe we can have 3 good corners, Owens killed us during the game and I don't know if Williams would have been any better. I would stay away from Heyward he is fine until he goes up against a player his size then he disappears.
January 17th, 2011
12:59 pm
how bout moving up and picking up the other Cameron….the QB?
January 17th, 2011
1:01 pm
I think we need to get a DE to help out Abraham. I wouldn't mind going after Steve Smith for a veteran wideout. One concerns I see are 1) Not throwing the ball deep and 2)maybe just maybe a new Defensive Coordinator.
January 17th, 2011
1:06 pm
I'd be very happy with Cam Heyward, he's a beast. That being said I don't think he'll be around at 27.
January 17th, 2011
1:10 pm
Stop blaming Van gorder this is mike Smith's weak @ss scheme. VG was very aggressive at UGA. Mularkey was agressive in Pittsburgh the HC is Micromanaging the game plan.
Why seek another wide receiver when the quarterback can no throw pass 25 yards with his weak arm. The interception that was returned for a toughdown was a simple pattern and he could not complete that, he also under threw Mike jenkins for the first interception. mark Sanchez has a low completion rate but he can throw the deep ball and he is 4-1 in the playoffs Ryan is and will always be overrated
January 17th, 2011
1:12 pm
Maybe TD will pick someone else with a history of injuries in college, who can also sit out for us and then be a non-factor like Jerry, Witherspoon and Moore.
January 17th, 2011
1:14 pm
Hey YO!!
dont get your hopes set too high as its evident that Dimitroff & CO CANNOT evaluate defensive talent. Its SO obvious, it stings..the d talent they get is barly adequate for matghing up with the NFC South, let alone the studs from the balance of the Conference..as evidenced Sat nite..
Hey Dimitroff!!!!
for openers, you need a 350 lb new version of Grady Jackson a hoss stud LB wholl match up with that big TB runnin back
and several cover corners like the JETS have..
got it??
can I come work for you this is so damn obvious????

I watched the jets-patriots game last night and Im so impressed with what the jets did and it makes me even more angry we lost the jets were angry they felt disrespected and they played like a team that felt like they were good and no one believed them so they promptly went out on the road and beat tom brady and the mighty patriots my question is why didnt the falcons play with that kinda fire?? I mean the falcons never got any respect this season even after big wins and for them to play the way they did is totally unacceptable im ashamed to be a falcons fan right now but with that said this should be used a example i hope they keep the game film of this cause when these guys show up in june for camp the coaches should run the tape and remind them in case they forgot we got our a**** kicked maybe that will feed the fire some more and next year maybe both offense and defense will come out and play angry and destroy some people and make everybody respect us.

Every year, we draft defense and it means nothing. Draft a WR and bring in free agents for defense.
January 17th, 2011
1:26 pm
Your right DLED they need playmakers on defense there biggest need to me is DE no question i like our tackles im not ready to close the book on jerry i just think if we can find enough consistent pass rush on the otherside that will help the coverage and maybe another playmaking linebacker our safeties are keepers i like william moore he's gonna be a good player and call me crazy i actually like our corners i think grimes is a future pro bowler i just think if we can keep pressure on the qb i think the guys in the secondary will make plays and on offense we need a left tackle move baker over to the right i like steve smith to be signed along with another young speedy receiver and also more speed in the backfield i love turner but we need some lightning back there just a few holes to fill remember this team won 13 games with a mediocre defense word to dimitroff FIX THE DEFENSE LIKE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! Cause its the only thing holding us back.
January 17th, 2011

Is Peerless Price still available as a #2 or does he still hate us?
January 17th, 2011
1:32 pm
Just as the players and coaches have some questions to answer this off season, TD and his player personnel department need to step up as well….In Saturday's game we watched a dominating performance by the 26th pick of the 2009 draft (Clay Matthews), while our pick at #25 (Perea Jerry) played a few snaps as a rotation D-lineman…..also, the # 32 pick of that draft (Ziggy Hood) was playing well at D-Line for Pittsburgh. We also watched a rookie free agent cornerback (Sam Shields) dominate our #2 WR; while our fifth round draft cornerback pick (Dominique Franks) was only dressed due to injury to another player, and our last two third round cornerbacks (C. Jackson and C. Owens) are busts……I know you can't hit on every pick, but our personnel (and/or ability to coach up the guys we do get) seems to be falling behind the elite teams in the league. I also understand the team's strict adherence to "character", which may be why they skipped Matthews due to 'roid rumors; but with the culture of the team now firmly entrenched, we should be able to see a few talented guys with question marks brought in and refined by the coaches and veteran players…..
January 17th, 2011
1:33 pm
Defintely defense, for the last 3 years the offense has ranked higher than the defense, draft a DE, CB, or OLB with first pick. I think they need a new defensive coordinator.
gonna also be holes to fill at TE, maybe center…. if TG and Mcclure retire.
need 1or 2 WR's 1 or 2 RB's,
January 17th, 2011
1:36 pm
Wanted: Defensive coordinator. Must have NFL experience. Go home college boy.
January 17th, 2011
1:53 pm
Really hard to assess what positions to target in the draft, without knowing what players we will lose due to retirement/free agency…
January 17th, 2011
2:05 pm
I agree Mr. Bill Campbell, We need another Top WR. T.O. With T.O on one side and Roddy white onte other. This will open the running game. Whats so hard to understand about this move. T.O. is hard worker and him and R. White will create a mismatch for any D and open up the run. We need a tough LB as well. Someone mean like Ray, Ray!

D. Orlando/ Mr. Blank
Why do we still believe in this 1990 style of foot ball? It really just burns me to my soul when I hear Mike Smith say he wants to keep the same coaching staff. Obviously all the fans, media and other coaching staffs know that our offense is horrible. It's not built to catch up if you fall behind more than one score or in a game that becomes a shootout. The Defense is built like a 1990 team…We do not have the rush or secondary skills to be successful against passing teams in the 4-3. I know we don't have the players to convert to a 3-4 defense right now, but it's time to start the process. New Orleans first year converting to the 3-4 won them a super bowl, and they didn't have all the pieces yet. Our coaches' style of coaching is outdated period. The only time we get compliments on our team is when the other team is getting ready to play us and being courteous. If you really think there was any doubt in Green Bay's mind about playing us replay A. Rogers or Clay Matthews's pregame interviews. We do not have good cornerback's period. We do not have a number 2 receiver period. We do not have a change of pace back/play maker period. (Norwood should've been gone; at least you would have gotten a pick for him, now you get nothing…period. MR. BLANK stop worrying about image and who got baggage, find ball players that love the game. Name one player that TD drafted that's a star player? Don't say mat Ryan because he was knocked completely of the pedestal Saturday. The offense the falcons run are handicapping him, when it's time to all out slang the ball around the field he can't do it.
January 17th, 2011
2:45 pm
Besides a WR, the Falcons need some nasty defensive players, line and safeties who really like to hit. We need to apply more pressure on the QB. Hopefully the offensive line will learn from the Packers game. Ryan needs to be protected!!
January 17th, 2011
2:48 pm
That was by far the Worst game I've seen in a while. Since the start of 1st Quarter, Aaron Rogers was picking the D apart and out Coaches had NO CLUE to stop it. By 3rd quarter, it was over.
Look at the Saints'/Packers' 4 receivers set. Just unstoppable. I hopes the whole Falcons' team live and learn from it.
As for the Draft, we need get tough DE, OLB, Receiver, or Corner. Just get the best one available at 27th.
For Free Agent, we need to get a Tackle, Guard, Receivers, and a bad ass Corner. Do whatever it take to get the Oakland boy. Can't spell his name.
January 17th, 2011
2:50 pm
Fellas The falcons will be fine. They need to draft a BIG d tackle, a olb/de that could replace abraham, GO AETER STEVE SMITH(roddy is a position reciver) a nickel corner, a replacement 4 tony gonzs a true slot reciever. And unleash matt ryan he need flexabilty and a factor back
January 17th, 2011
2:57 pm
What a group of whiners. Sure, we are all upset about getting our butts kicked by the Packers at home, but 13-4 is a great season. Can't wait til next year. GO FALCONS !!!!
January 17th, 2011
3:06 pm
Fellas, it is plain and smiple it time for management to trade #12 ,and go after some one with some true talent,like steve smith or the corner from oakland # 21. also we need to play bump and run more. when a team see our corner's play ten yards off, i see us getting beat just like in the game saturday. also if we cannot get they players,i mentioned,how about champ bailey! atleast teams will respect him! so DTM AND MS,RISE UP AND GET US SOME GREAT PLAYERS,AND STOP SETTLING FOR GOOD ONE!
January 17th, 2011
3:28 pm
Why would we spend first round $ on OL? We gave up something like 22 sacks and Turner was the leading rusher in the NFC? I can see going with one of our 5th rounders for some back up, but not first. Also, Heyward is the sexy easy name for pundits because of the tie-in. I say go with Sapelo Islands Allen Bailey. BEAST of a kid.
January 17th, 2011
3:31 pm
DL- Do you forsee TD and company going after a diffrent DC, if in fact we don't have the money to really spend on defense in Free Agency? What's the wrap on Sean McDermott? Would he make a difference in Atlanta since he did study under the late Jim Johnson?
January 17th, 2011
3:33 pm
falocns need moss or to or steve smith they need to cut douglass move grimes to the nickel he is to little td needs to start hitting on draft picks he the reason that we have the worse cornor backs in the game curtis is a bust we need a real lb he will lead i were defense iam glad he didnt make th eprowbowl stop crying about being a probowl guy curtis is over rated out side of roddy we dont have no wr that is a big problem also mike smith at times is soft need to be more assertive
January 17th, 2011
3:57 pm
As a true Falcons fan the one thing that will make it a long off season is if the two sides don't get it together and play football-THE FANS SUPPORT THE TEAMS AND MAKE ALL POSSIBLE FOR THE OWNERSHIP AND THE PLAYERS- its time for them to understand that without the fan they have nothing.
January 17th, 2011
4:04 pm
C-football. I believe that Tom Brady was knock off his pedestal also-WAKE UP MAN AND APPRECIATE THE DIRECTION THIS TEAM IS TAKING.
January 17th, 2011
4:13 pm
Ryan Kerrigan, Purdue if avl., db from Oakland, a deep threat WR and a rb with some serious Chris Johnson speed.. Then, you can consider us a SB team!
January 17th, 2011
4:19 pm
These are things Necssary to have a goo offseason:
1- sign conerback from oakland (move brent to nickel)
2- beg tony gonzalez to come back next year
3- draft WR Jon Baldwin (6″5) -he has good size and length plus has a 4.49 speed
4- draft offensive left tackle or get speed running back (for screens and quick yardage)
5- change the offensive scheme for matt ryan, instead of run first, set the run up with the pass- this will increase the number of 20+ receptions for the recievers aka. more screens, slants, reverses

January 17th, 2011
4:33 pm
DOL, I completely disagree with your thoughts on who the Falcons should have picked. For value, Revis just wasn't expected to be this good. The guy I wanted, is this guy named Patrick Willis. He was picked shortly after we picked Anderson. Matthews doesn't fit our scheme, and Jerry was the best rated player available at a position of need for us. Yes he has been banged up, but let him have a game when he is 100% then form your judgment. This year, we have to pick Rudolph, TE out of Notre Dame. Tony G won't be around forever.
January 17th, 2011
4:35 pm
I know this is a cvrazy idea but what about Julio Jones to Atlanta. I think he would be a great benefit to the team. Heyward is not a person to passover though.
January 17th, 2011

Big Ron —
Keep in mind that the Pats beat the Jets 45-3 during regular season. It happens in the NFL hot QB, Momentum end of half, and game planning swung the wrong way for the Falcons.

What Matt Ryan lacks is the zip on the ball. Floaters are gonna get intercepted all day. Please find
someone who can get open for a few seconds. This might help his weak arm.
January 17th, 2011
4:47 pm
Keep in mind the Jamal Anderson pick was made under the McKay regime- not Dimitroff's. A #6 pick overall should be an impact player and he's no where near an impact player. IMO this was the 'missed pick' that really set the Falcons back. A pass rushing end is a 'must' for the Falcons this offseason.
January 17th, 2011
4:49 pm
I hear Nnamdi Asomugha is now available. He used to be the highest paid CB in the league before his contract with the Raiders was terminated. Guess who was the 2nd highest paid CB: Dunta Robinson. Yeesh. Not even the best CB on the team. Maybe we can swap him out for someone with an incredible track record like Asomugha.

Bulletstorm for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3
Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo
Bulletstorm tells the story of a futuristic confederation protected by an elite band of mercenaries: Dead Echo. When Dead Echo members Grayson Hunt and Ishi Sato learn they've been working for the wrong side, they're betrayed by their commander and exiled to the far reaches of the galaxy. In Bulletstorm, Grayson and Ishi find themselves surrounded by hordes of mutants and flesh eating gangs in an abandoned paradise. They have two objectives: get off the planet alive, and exact revenge on the man who sent them there. Players step into the role of Grayson Hunt complete with an arsenal of over-the-top combat moves and outrageously large guns. Bulletstorm's array of distinct 'skillshots' produces unprecedented levels of frantic gameplay and yell-inducing satisfaction. The skillshot system rewards players for inciting mayhem in the most creative way possible. The more insane the skillshot, the more points players collect to upgrade their character and unlock weapons, which then allows them to execute even more creative moves and exaggerated skillshots.

Sorry but this is really DUMB. The $5 all day shipping was much much much much better. Because it now means as with before I would keep buying in the day, I wouldn't anymore because I would have to pay for extra shipping and let's be honest... if I have to pay $5 shipping on a $20 bluetooth speaker, I wouldn't buy it anymore. You have stuff that's under $10 as well and those are also out the window in purchases. That's just too bad. Before I could shop in peace and buy one at a time but end up with 5-10 things a day (like I do on zulily) but now, it's plan carefully. If it's not something that I HAVE TO HAVE, no more impulse purchases. I can always wait another day to see if something else I like and if so, then maybe I'll go back to the old thing I liked and add it to cart. If not, oh well. I guess it saves me money by not BUYING at all! But bad for woot right??? You're supposed to be about impulse purchases!
would be better during wootoff, if customer selected put in cart, than you can pay for each item as it is added so you win/get what you want without shipping and then when done with purchases/wootoff, customer can open cart and go through the shipping function and then it would be possible to just have a single $5 shipping charge..
Maybe late better than never but I want to chime in my disappointment at losing the $5 all day / woot-off shipping.
Disappointing now that you have to pay shipping on all orders during a Woot Off. I myself would have bought more but not now that it will cost every time I purchase in a 24hr period.
guffone wrote:Disappointing now that you have to pay shipping on all orders during a Woot Off. I myself would have bought more but not now that it will cost every time I purchase in a 24hr period.
The problem is Woot might sell an item for $20 and only make $5 on the sale due to their low, low prices. If you get all day free shipping then they make no money on the transaction cuz they have to pay to ship the item. (not to mention the salary of all employees listing the item, packing it, shipping and so forth) They might lose money on a transaction! And we're not even talking about the 60" tvs they ship for $5.
I don't think they really considered woot-offs when they announced the all-day $5 promotion. I know SOME people really exploited it buying all the $0.99 items after unlocking free shipping just to make woot go broke.
The shopping cart and all the plus sales ("carty favors") are a good compromise. Load your cart with the side sale stuff you want and wait for a good woot-off item.
Edit: again I think people forget how, for years and years, it used to be $5 shipping for every single item. The cart option, compared to that, is awesome.

" ... Aaand they're off!" Like thoroughbreds exploding from the starting gate, holiday shoppers raced to be first in line for the limited supply, special buys, offered on "Black Friday." I used to be an alpha perfectionist in everything I did, resulting in finding fault in everything everybody else did, but I never got over the top crazy wanting to fight over a parking space at Walmart. I have been known to wave a few gestures of expression and use some unsavory language while unloading my disgruntled feelings toward a fellow alpha, but it was generally with the windows rolled up and my wife grabbing my arm, pulling it down out of sight. My bark has always been more intrusive than my bite, because I learned very young, when you bite, you generally get bitten. Well anyway, I've never gotten involved in the buying frenzy of the holidays, and what I read and hear and see on TV is frightening. It makes no sense to me that people are willing to fight one another, in an exhibition of terror and hate, to purchase an item that they claim will be given to someone in love. Like the insurance commercial running on TV lately says, "The greatest danger we face in this world is other people," a fact with an abundance of witness. Self-centeredness does not compliment our love for others.
Sometimes it's a simple life that shows love and gives thanks best. "A Cowboy's Christmas Prayer" "...I ain't much good at prayin', and you may not know me, Lord; I ain't much seen in churches when they preach thy Holy Word. But you may have observed me, out here on the lonely plains, a lookin' after cattle, feelin' thankful when it rains; Admirin' thy great handiwork, the miracle of grass, aware of thy kind spirit in the way it comes to pass; That hired men on horseback and the livestock that we tend, can look up at the stars at night and know we've got a friend. So, here's ol' Christmas comin' on, remindin' us again, of Him whose comin' brought good will into the hearts of men. A cowboy ain't no preacher, Lord, but if you'll hear my prayer, don't let no hearts be bitter, Lord; don't let no child be cold. Make easy beds for them that's sick, and them that's weak and old; Let kindness bless the trail we ride, no matter what we're after; And sort of keep us at your side, in tears as well as laughter. I'm just a sinful cowpoke, Lord, ain't got no business prayin', but still I hope you'll ketch a word, or two of what I'm sayin'. There ain't no Merry Christmas for nobody that ain't free, so one thing more I'll ask you, Lord, just help us what you can, to save some seeds of freedom, for the future sons of man."
[3 John 9-10] In John's letter to Gaius, he writes there is a man in the church there named Diotrephes, who is refusing to welcome God's messengers. "... Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us" (the Apostles). He is " ... gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church." Being first and always having your own way is very damaging to the spirit of others. "Do not put out the Spirit's fire ..." (1 Thessalonians 5: 12-19). Don't be spoilin' God's party.
[Luke 17: 11-19] Ten men with leprosy met Jesus on the road and begged him to have pity on them. As they did what Jesus instructed to do, they were healed. One out of the ten men returned to thank Jesus for his healing. God has given us His Son, yet in our "celebration," we put ourselves first, and fail to give thanks for the greatest of gifts.

If you're in the market for some new lighting for your home or business, chances are you're looking for something that speaks to your style or brand. Here at Barn Light Electric, we love giving customers loads of options such as shade size, finish color, cording options, gooseneck arms, and other add-ons like cast guard and glass or wire cages to create lights that are as unique as your space!Read More

The school bell has rung, theme parks are quiet, and the Labor Day picnic is a fading memory. The autumnal equinox must be right around the corner. Fall is a great time to think about your exterior lighting. Nightfall may come earlier but the weather is still great for outdoor activities and meals. There's no reason to retreat to the dining room when the back porch is still so inviting. Plus there are still fireflies out there waiting to be chased!Read More

Company slogans say a lot about a brand. Everyone knows that Wheaties is the Breakfast of Champions. That Visa is Everywhere You Want to Be. And who could forget the challenge, Betcha Can't Eat Just One, from the Lays corporation.
Here at Barn Light Electric we take our slogan — Where Vintage and Modern Collide — to heart. While our business was born from our love of vintage fixtures, we have grown to become one of America's leading manufacturers of easy-to-customize industrial and barn-style lighting. We have created a wide range of options so that both residential and commercial customers can easily create a light fixture that perfectly complements their home or business.Read More

When you have six kids and two adults living in the same house, the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. For Ruthie, who writes the blog Fairy Wings and Dinosaurs from her Washington home near the border of Idaho, her kitchen buzzes with family activity.
"We spend a lot of time making these little humans of ours snacks and meals, and we also organize our mail there, go through school papers, you name it," Ruthie says. "Our kitchen was very dark and very much not us so it was in desperate need of an update!"
Ruthie wanted to keep the layout of the kitchen which includes a huge island with a range in the center. Working with designer Jessica Bean, they removed evidence of a 1970s-era remodel and expanded the storage space with more cabinets and a reconfigured pantry. To bring more of their personality into the space, Ruthie and her husband, who both love skateboarding, selected a recycled skateboard tiled backsplash from Art of Board, a company that recycles skateboards into home goods and apparel.
"Bold and fun is definitely our look and we wanted a statement kitchen," Ruthie explains. " The couple searched and searched for the perfect lighting that would provide a balance to the funky modern kitchen. And though she admits to looking at more than a dozen different companies, Ruthie kept coming back to Barn Light Electric's Ivanhoe® Sky Chief Porcelain Pendant for over the island. She customized the four pendants with 12″ shades, our popular Jadite finish, a matching Jadite canopy, and a standard black cord.
"We wanted something that reminded us of a farmhouse feel to balance out our modern kitchen," Ruthie explains. "The shape was perfect and we were very comfortable with the price. We pulled the jadite from a color that kept showing up on some of the skateboard tiles and we painted our breakfast nook hutch the same color. It looks incredible."
The American-made Sky Chief is a classic barn light with an updated porcelain enamel finish that will never fade or corrode. Hand spun from commercial grade steel, this RLM-inspired warehouse shade provides plenty of downlight which makes it a popular choice in kitchens such as Ruthie's.
"We were drawn to the porcelain because of the finishes that were available. We knew there would be so many options and we'd be able to pick any color we wanted," she says. "It also feels soft yet sturdy; exactly what we needed."
Porcelain enamel is the finish of choice for homeowners and business owners who want a light that will last for generations with minimal maintenance. The Sky Chief is also available in LED for those who want to save money on their energy costs without sacrificing any style.
"The bright colors along with the backsplash are the first things people notice and we are always being asked about them," Ruthie says. "I'm in love with the color — it is unique without being over the top. The lights pull just enough of the colors from the backsplash to work perfectly without being overdone. We could not be more thrilled with how well they balance out the space."

If you're addicted to HGTV like we are, you no doubt have seen the wildly popular Cousins Undercover show starring Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri. The show just wrapped up its second season which features surprise renovation makeovers for local heroes in neighborhoods across the country.
In addition to his television commitment, John has spent the last six years working in the family business — Brunelleschi Construction – and looking for a place to put down his own roots. While driving to work one day, John's wife spotted a For Sale sign. She insisted that John come take a look at the property.
"It was very deceiving because the sign was on the main road and I didn't want to build our home on a main road," John explains. "But the property is actually more than two acres and surrounded by wetlands, so our home would be nestled in the woods with lots of privacy." John finally got the chance to turn his construction expertise closer to home. This project marked his first-ever, ground-up construction.
"I figured since it was my personal home, it was a good place to start," he says laughing.
Although this was new construction, John and his wife both wanted a mix of old and new. In addition to new materials, the couple sourced some 200-year-old barn wood from a barn that was salvaged from Ohio which is now spread throughout the house.
"My wife and I love barns, but we knew contemporary design would be a must when designing the house," John explains. "We love bringing the new and old together since it creates rich stories and unique elements to the home." For lighting, they wanted to stay traditional yet find barn lighting that would also give a contemporary edge.
"It's a delicate balance when choosing lighting, and I made sure that I did not step over that line and do anything that looked out of place," he adds. They found the perfect blend for their exterior lighting with the Barn Light Electric collection of LED Barn Lights.
"This was a no-brainer to use LED and it's something every homeowner should transition to," John says. "The LED bulbs will last for so long, I will never have to change the bulbs out in my lifetime." On the side of the house, John chose the Drake LED Gooseneck Barn Light, a classic gooseneck light customized with a 12″ shade, traditional Black finish, and a G34 gooseneck arm in Brushed Aluminum.
"I wanted to have the traditional gooseneck for the exterior of the home to give the illusion that this was an original barn," John notes.
On the patio, the couple opted for another classic light — the Original™ Stem Mount LED Pendant in a generous 24″ shade. These six American-made pendants were hand crafted and customized with a Black finish and 6″ stem. The LED options include 1250 lumen LED and domed lens.
"These are beautiful here! I have two 15-foot openings of LaCantina bi-fold doors that open onto the back patio," John explains. "I wanted a light that made a statement and also would illuminate the area with beautiful light."
When it came to making a statement by the front door, John jumped into our Porcelain Enamel LED Collection and found the Wheeler™ Dino LED Wall Sconce. This RLM-inspired warehouse shade has roots in early 20th century lighting and is crafted from commercial grade steel. Three coats of porcelain enamel glass are hand applied then baked on to a high-gloss finish that will never fade or corrode. Add the energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED element and you have an outdoor wall sconce that will truly last for generations.
"There is no reason to use incandescent bulbs anymore, and I want to save as much energy as possible," John says. He customized this LED wall sconce with a 14″ shade, Black finish, 1250 lumen LED, and a domed lens.
"I love the uniqueness of the lights. Everyone that comes over always asks about the lights and wants to know where I got them," John says. "Of course I tell them, but deep down I want to keep it a secret!"
Be sure to come back Monday where we'll continue our tour of John's new home with a peek inside, and let me tell you, the kitchen is incredible! Check out even more photos of the construction by following John on Instagram and Twitter. And don't miss the Cousins on Facebook and Twitter!

Ah, a day at the spa. Lounging in fluffy white robes, enjoying a relaxing facial, and maybe even getting a warm cream massage to get those nails looking fine.
Oh wait. Reality check. Who has time for that?!
Well, if you're lucky enough to live in Bellevue, Washington, there's a new spa called Recoop that caters to busy people who still want to enjoy the benefits of personal pampering. Grace Lo Hackerman, founder and owner, wanted to create a spa with exceptional treatments and products in a modern environment yet conceptually different from the spas she visited through the years.Read More

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, Sheriff Anthony Wickersham and county Health Department Director Steven Gold were going store to store on Tuesday looking for K2, Spice, or any other designer drugs still for sale.
On Monday, Macomb County banned the sale of these products, calling them an imminent danger to public health.
They did confiscate about $550 worth of synthetic drugs from a Marathon gas station on Gratiot at 16 Mile. It had already been removed from the shelf and was behind the counter marked not for sale."I think what you're seeing is a lot of people from the community that are buying gas, that are buying stuff at these retail outlets are saying, hey, we don't appreciate you selling this. There's a big hype about it. It's not good for the kids. It's not good for the community," said Hackel.Not good at all, and that's the reason Sam Najor says he doesn't sell it at his store in Saint Clair Shores."We see a lot of kids that they get hurt by it, so it shouldn't be around."It seems every community is taking action. Tuesday we heard from Livonia and Port Huron, as well as Wayne County where county Executive Robert Ficano has signed an order banning synthetic drugs.The Associated Food and Petroleum Dealers Association is also working with its 3,000 stores and gas stations to get it off the shelves."We don't see too many big distributors selling the stuff. You see the small jobbers selling it out of the back of their trunks and out of their cars, so it's been really hard to go after one distributor and say stop selling it," said Auday Arabo.He also says it's hard to know who's even manufacturing this stuff.
"There [are] so many different labels of this garbage out there and most of it says made in China, but that's all we know. We don't know what's in it. We don't know what's causing the harm. We just know it shouldn't be sold."
Oakland County residents are encouraged to boycott any businesses selling synthetic drugs. A spokesman with the county executive says bans in other counties are not enforceable in a court of law, but with so many citizens taking action, so far the court of public opinion seems to be all that matters."The outcry from the public, I don't know that I've ever seen anything like this over a product, I mean it's been absolutely incredible no matter where you're at," Hackel said.
To report businesses still selling K2 or other synthetic drugs in Macomb County, visit www.markhackel.com. In Wayne County, call (734) 727-7163.

Comments about Wuhan Cymbals 12" Wuhan China Cymbal:
the one reason why people give these chinas bad reviews is because they forget how much they paid, or they don't know how to choose their chinas.
these are all hand made and VERY inconsistent. u need to pick the best of 5 to get one worth its price.
i don't think it makes much sense spending hundreds on a quick dark trashy accent from bigger expensive cymbal companies when that one wuhan in the stack could be what your looking for. who really wants to pay 250-300 for "trash" anyway right?
and about the clangy sounds and overtones, in the mix (and if you pick a good one) you aren't going to have that problem.
these cymbals aren't bad in any way. ive actually decided to go for these instead of the meinl byzance. wuhans do just fine for me

Comments about Wuhan Cymbals 12" Wuhan China Cymbal:
I bought two Wuhan chinas. One of them was ok, with a higher sound, not so thashy...the other one is perfect! Trashy sound, loud with an explosive attack. If you are looking for a "trashier" sound try the bigger China, from Wuhan of course!

Comments about Wuhan Cymbals 12" Wuhan China Cymbal:
I use this cymbal to practice with in my garage where I'm not really playing to be heard by others. It is very inexpensive which is a plus for people who are just getting started or can't afford top-of-the-line products, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is serious about going far with drumming. Also, the sound is very flat and lasts for about a second and has a sort of annoying CLUNKing sound to it. I got it because it was affordable, but if you want something that has a good feel to it, go with an 18" paiste china.
Comments about Wuhan Cymbals 12" Wuhan China Cymbal:
"The 12"" Wuhan china cymbal is not a very good cymbal. Very cheap and poorly made. The 12"" is too little. I suggest getting a larger china cymbal like a 16"" Not worth 10 bucks. Don't buy it."

Interactive Art at The Quin
March 21, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
The Quin, the newest luxury hotel in Manhattan, is located on the corner of 57th Street and 6th Avenue. The legendary hotel has long been a home away from home for countless painters, writers, dancers, choreographers, musicians, and conductors. Doubtless, this is due to both The Quin's elegant beaux-arts architecture and its proximity to Broadway, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art. Thanks to the hotel's Quin Arts initiative, the tradition continues today. Quin Arts is an interactive arts program that celebrates the property's rich heritage and produces exciting new spaces for contemporary artists. Quin Arts seeks to inspire suspended moments of reflection amid the bustle of urban life with engaging and immersive new work in New York City. The Quin invites progressive contemporary artists to make their mark through its residency program.
The artistic and cultural legacy of The Quin was laid by such art world luminaries Georgia O'Keeffe, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and Marc Chagall. Quin Arts presents an ongoing series of culturally significant events, exhibitions, salons, lectures, film premieres, book debuts, musical performances, and artist receptions. This multi-media initiative extends to a substantial permanent collection, along with an artist-in-residence program; grand displays on the lobby's 15-foot abstract video art wall, which are specifically created for the hotel; and intimate salons with participating artists.
The Quin currently houses 18 original pieces by artists from around the world. The collection includes works by Blek le Rat, the Paris-based "Godfather of Street Art;" YZ; Eric Zener; Wulf Von Treu, "the German Basquiat;" and renowned Irish painter Patrick Graham. This collection now includes 15 new pieces from Bristol-based street artist, Nick Walker, and will continue to grow with original works commissioned through the Quin Arts' artist-in-residence program.
Current exhibits and artistic endeavors include:
-Heritage, an immersive photography exhibit presented in conjunction with Magnum Photos. It celebrates what Magnum co-founder Henri Cartier-Bresson calls "a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on, and a desire to transcribe it visually." Heritage features the work of Burt Glinn, Erich Hartmann, Dennis Stock, and Elliott Erwitt and was co-curated by Darren Johnston and Gary Hoenig.
-Quin Artist in Residence Rosemary Siemens. Violinist Rosemary Siemens has mesmerized audiences the world over since the age of three. Equally comfortable with Classical and Pop music, her diverse talents and improvisational skills have led to countless performance opportunities, including concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall, performing as the first instrumentalist ever at St. Peters Basilica at the Vatican and playing at the Latin Grammy's in Miami. Rosemary's latest visit to New York includes a performance at Carnegie Hall as Concert Master for National Sacred Honor Choir and an intimate private recital in the Quin Lobby for guests and New York music aficionados.

He's a gentle giant, standing a little over four feet tall, and weighing in at 180 pounds. He helps heal sick children, but he's not a doctor. Tuesday, he visited Phoenix Children's Hospital.
4-year-old Josiah Bradford has a cyst on his throat. He might need surgery. While he and mom Abbey wait for the doctors, they try a therapy of a different kind.
"It kind of lifts their spirits, makes them feel comfortable being here in the hospital, because it can be scary at times," says mom Abbey Bradford.
Bentley is a 4-year-old harlequin Great Dane. At 24 inches, he wags the world's longest tail. He also holds the record for largest service dog.
He's a gentle giant that puts a smile on the faces of even the sickest children.
Owner Patrick Malcolm says the two visit hospitals around the country.
"We love it, we love it, we like seeing the kids all happy," says Malcolm.
Bentley's visit serves a dual purpose, according to the director of the hospital's Paws Can Heal program. It's not just about putting smiles on kids' faces…
"It really helps them get up, get out of bed, take a walk all the things they need to do get well," says Mary Lou Jennings of PCH.
Mary Lou Jennings says Bentley is by far the children's favorite therapy animal.
Tuesday was his second visit to PCH, but there's no doubt everyone will be happy to see him come back.
Bentley's owner trained him as a service dog because his 8-year-old cousin was diagnosed with bone cancer -- he's now in remission so Bentley works to help other kids.
Bentley has his own non-profit to help kids and canines affected by cancer.

Lode Runner for Xbox 360, Wii, and Mobile
GameZone Review Rating Not Available
This landmark action-puzzle game has been a worldwide fixture in video games from the moment of its inception until today, producing many sequels and related products along the way. The player controls the hero, or "Runner," who collects gold nuggets located around every stage, all the while avoiding capture by enemy robots. The action itself is simple, but the stages are designed as increasingly challenging puzzles, and none of the 50 stages is as easy as it seems. The Runner avoids enemies by digging holes in the floor to the right and left of his position

Blues Review 2012
2012 was a pretty good year for Everton.
It was 12 months in which the Blues accumulated more Premier League points than anyone but Manchester United, Chelsea and champions Manchester City.
It was a year in which another Wembley showpiece was exultantly booked - and painfully squandered.
A year when one fan favourite departed for the Big Apple, and another scored a momentous maiden goal in riotous fashion.
There were memorable wins over Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham.
New heroes were established - Jelavic the assassin, Gibson the metronome - and the mercurial Steven Pienaar returned.
To re-live all this and more, read our Blues Review by following the links on the right.

The end of a muggy Thursday afternoon in early July. Thunder grumbled from the direction of the western suburbs, and the air hung still and heavy and moist over the city.
I'd shucked off my courtroom pinstripe, slipped into a pair of cutoffs and a T-shirt, and made myself a tall gin and tonic, and I was sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs in the walled-in patio behind our town house on Mount Vernon Street reading the Globe sports section and waiting for Evie to come home.

DEDO Director Alan Levin on Fisker Automotive's paralysis
In case you missed my interview with the director of the Delaware Economic Development Office - Alan Levin - here it is...
Audio Here
In this interview, I thought Levin went further than previously in conceding how the Markell Administration, given 20-20 hindsight, might have said 'thanks, but no thanks' to Fisker.

Mike from Delaware

The problem, as I understand it, is there is no penalty to these so-called start-up industries, if they don't follow through and actually start a business in Delaware. The taxpayer gets to fund the enterprise without being given the opportunity to vote in a referendum, so we pay and get no benefit back. The corporation pays no penalty back to the taxpayer or state if the company defaults on the agreement. So it's easy cash for these corporate big-shots who take our money and then claim we now see we can't make it work- heh heh, so we've put YOUR money into OUR pocket- heh heh.
Bloom Energy is another example, except this time, instead of all taxpayers, the scam involves ONLY DP&L customers who get the shaft. Apparently NOW Bloom is going to start to build its facility in Newark. We'll see how many actual jobs result, assuming after they get the building built, they then don't go belly-up leaving the DP&L customer on the hook.
I liked Jack Markell until he did these two things. It was why I didn't vote for him in this past election. These were not good deals for the taxpayer or the DP&L customer.
As it is, we in NCC pay a higher electric-bill rate to help keep the price lower for Lower Delaware. I've brought this up before and it never gets discussed. Why should you and I subsidize people's electric service at the beach? Let me see if I have this correct, they have the beach home that I don't get to enjoy and surely can't afford to own, but I'm paying more in my electric bill so they won't have to pay more in their electric bill. Sure sounds wrong to me. The News Journal did a piece on this in 2008? and I can't believe there wasn't or isn't more outrage over this.

The aerospace giant and NASA say the distinctive "blended wing body" design flew like a champ in low-speed tests and holds promise for quieter, more fuel-efficient aircraft yet to come.
The design, which is thought to be highly fuel efficient and offer longer range, could someday become the universal standard. But first comes several more years of tests.
Could this be the next great aircraft design? Within 10 years, a full-sized version of the hybrid wing body may offer big boosts in range, fuel efficiency, and quiet flight.
