Beautiful Chandelier
I put this in a walk in closet, and it looks wonderful. I gave it four stars because some of the chrystals were broken and it became a small production to get it fixed. BUT, overstock's customer service did great as always to resolve the problem.Read More
Lovely, we gets lots of compliments
We purchased this chandelier to go in our new house 3 years ago. All parts and pieces arrived safely. Like any chandelier with this number of crystals, the assembly and cleaning are the worst of it. But it looks terrific, all parts in good shape, and we are still getting compliments on it. Now if only I had the patience to dust and clean it properly!Read More
Great light fixture for a great price!
This light fixture is really beautiful and looks more expensive than it costs. It is not cheap and flimsy. Solid metal and the glass globes really shine bright (in fact we had to put it on a dimmer). The overall size is large enough to stand alone over a table for 6; we hung two accent fixtures on each side of it because our room is huge and table seats 8-12.Read More

Adds a touch of feminist to my dark kitchen!Read More
I love this fixture. I kept seeing the $1,000 version and wanted it. Buying this copy felt like a risk but I'm so glad I did. I've put it in my home office in our new house. It's feminine and classy and I get lots of compliments. It was easy to put together though it does take some time to attach all of the balls. The one difference between this fixture and the expensive one is that this one has a clear wire going from the canopy into a center hub that is attached to the spokes leading to each light. I didn't like that the wire was visible so I covered it with narrow, chrome-colored cable cover. It looks like it's been there forever. With 5 lights, there is more than enough light for the entire room. Another great Overstock purchase.Read More
The fixture sparkles and looks like a much more expensive piece. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the directions are not detailed.Also, I was told that because the 1 of the 5 light bulbs sits with the base upside down, the one socket in the fixture requires a special bulb. This is according to a lighting expert with whom I spoke. He said that when a candleabra light sits with the base up (as opposed to the "usual" base down), the heat is generated upward over the base and if the right bulb isn't in that socket, the fixture is at increased risk for fire. Not being a light expert myself, I have to take his word for it. Just be aware that you might require at least 1 special bulb for the "base-up" socket.Read More
Crystal chandelier - with broken crystals
I was surprised by the large number of broken crystals. I didn't discover the broken crystals until after the electrician was paid for installing the fixture (as I was following other reviewers' wise advice to install the crystals AFTER hanging the chandelier). I was advised that new crystals will be arriving from China. If they arrive, though, I will be 100% satisfied. If not, I am in a pickle indeed....and down the electrician's fee for installation. As an aside, I do concur with others that the crystals should be installed post-instAlation. Check them upon arrival, perhaps.Read More
just a warning...
We absolutely love this chandelier BUT just be warned....it comes in 200 plus pieces. Be sure that you have help because every "bubble" is individually wrapped and must be hung to the metal fixture. It was actually fun putting it together, but we will have an electrician hang it. For the money (and way less than the Robert 'bling" original) it's worth it!Read More
The light is even better than pictured.
The light is perfect! I hung it in my dining room and it looks gorgeous and much more expensive that what I paid for it. I have been searching for a dining room light for approximately 1 year and I knew this was the one as soon as I opened the box. Also included were extra fasteners, chains and glass.Read More

Date: December 12, 2006
Summary: Beaver and Steve make snowmen
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Christmas Fairy
Onomatopoeias used: "NNGGKK...", "POIT!", "WISHES!"
Number of panels: 13
Panel 1
Beaver and Steve are building snowmen. Both wear a snow cap and scarf. Beaver's is blue and purple, while Steve's is orange and yellow.
Beaver's snowman has three parts, the bottem, the torso, and the head. A red/maroon scarf is worn by it. It has arms that are similar to Beavers, six coal bits for the mouth, two for the eyes, a green tophat (with a red/maroon strip), and a pipe in the right side of the mouth.
Steve's snowman is a mutant. It has three eyes, and a carrot nose. One arm is in the proper position, but the other is on the top. His is just a pile of snow, other than the decorations.
Breath clouds form from Beaver and Steve's mouths.
Beaver: "Oh boy! Could there be any better way to spend Christmas Eve than building snowmen? I don't think so!"
Panel 2
Somehow the snowmen are next to eachother now, and the pipe is on the left side of the mouth now.
Beaver: "They look so alive don't they Steve? Wouldn't it just be splendid if they really were!"
Panel 3
A view looking upwards shows Beaver's snowman looming over Steve. The pipe is on the right side of the mouth again.
Steve looks slightly frightened, or shy. That, or slightly frustrated.
Steve: "Y-yes Beaver..."
Steve: "Splendid..."
Panel 4
Beaver and Steve are walking back into the house now.
Beaver seems to be frowning.
Beaver: "Come on Steve, it's time for bed. Are you excited about tomorrow?"
Steve is wide-eyed.
Steve: "If my excitement were matter it would collapse into a singularity under its own immensity."
Beaver: "Sigh... I wish they really would come to life..."
Panel 5
Beavers wish floats as white text within white lines towards a star, which is emphasized by white marks.

The emphasized star turns out to be the Wish Fairy. They are snoring, producing ZZZZ.
"I wish-"
Panel 7
Wish Fairy: Oh! A Christmas wish!
"-they really w-"
Panel 8
The Fairy bites its lower lip.
Wish Fairy: "Atlast!"

The words WISH POWER and POWER are on the panel with a star on the side of each line.
Panel 11
The Fairy has the same pose as before.
Panel 12
Still the same pose, but now the star POIT!s off its chest.
Panel 13
The Fairy salutes the falling star, which now has a face. The star falls with WISHES!.
Wish Fairy: "God speed little wish, God speed!"
Wish Fairy: "...I hope that's going to grow back..."
Fun Facts

Food occupies a unique position in our lives at the confluence of health, comfort, culture, social relationships, geography, and family budget.
In tough economic times, the question becomes how to eat within a tight budget without sacrificing superior nutrition, cultural tradition, great taste, variety, ease of preparation, and deep-down satisfaction.
Incessant food advertising in an aggressive consumer culture makes it especially difficult to stay away from the trendy new food innovations. After all, the latest product promises to make you healthier, smarter, thinner, younger, better-looking, hipper, more loveable, a better parent. It'll save time, give you a break, show your sophistication. And it will cost a lot more, often without offering much nutritional value.
Go artisanal
But frugal households can latch onto one burgeoning trend, the movement towards "artisanal" foods, edibles supposedly made from scratch by human hands, rather than cranked out in industrial facilities.
Even if you can afford expensive food, go "frugal-artisanal" for the health, the flavor, and the sheer adventure of it. To get started:
Make everything from scratch: bread (including flatbreads and pizza doughs, biscuits, soups. You can add your own healthy ingredients and experiment with herbs and spices. Scratch cooking takes more organizing and learning, but once you commit to it, you'll find it doesn't take that much more time.
Make and store your own "mixes." Next time you're making biscuits, bread, or pancakes, make extra, minus the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients together, add one batch to a sealable bag, label, and freeze. When you're ready to bake, add eggs, oil, milk or other wet ingredients to a bag of mix, then bake as usual. For soups, store the dry ingredients, including herbs and spices, in glass or metal containers.
Don't skimp on fruits and vegetables. Find ways to sneak them into every meal. Use them as snacks. People who eat the most produce have more energy, fewer illnesses and less chronic disease. They manage their weight more easily.
Learn to use the cheap, nutritious, and suddenly trendy vegetables: kale, collards, cabbage, Swiss chard, carrots, onions, winter squash. Buy fruits in season.
Sneak more whole grains into your diet. Add a handful of rolled oats into that recipe for meatloaf or fish cakes (rather than bread or cracker crumbs). Toss a handful of brown rice or barley into a long-simmering soup. Microwave a rice pudding for breakfast with leftover brown rice.
Eat more legumes: lentils, dry beans, and dried peas. Cheap, incredibly versatile, and nutritious.
When the price is right, stock up on nutrient-dense foods that keep well without refrigeration and don't take much storage space: dry beans, lentils, whole grains, sunflower seeds, unprocessed nuts, peanut butter, onions, garlic, dried fruit. Store these staples in glass or metal containers out of direct sunlight.
- Save nutrients by making savory broths from vegetable scraps and leftovers you'd ordinarily throw out. Freeze or use immediately in soups or for cooking rice or other grains.
Frugal with fuel, too
When you have the oven on, fill it up. Cooking a turkey or a roast? Bake bread, biscuits, and/or a casserole at the same time. Roast a pan of vegetables or try an oven-braised cabbage.
Soak rice, lentils, beans overnight before cooking.
When you make a broth or a big soup, half fill a knee-high sock or nylon stocking with brown rice, barley, or pinto beans; tie it loosely and toss it in the pot to use in another meal.
- Investigate pressure-cooker and crockpot cooking. More about these energy savers in later posts.

A/C Superheat/Subcool System Analyzers
A/C Superheat/Subcool System Analyzers are devices specifically designed to determine superheating or subcooling of an HVAC system. Superheating refers to the number of degrees a vapor is above its boiling point at a particular pressure. This gives an indication if the amount of refrigerant flowing into the evaporator is appropriate for the load. If this is too high or low you risk compressor damage, poor refrigeration, and excess energy costs.
Subcooling is the condition where the liquid refrigerant is colder than the minimum temperature required to keep it from boiling. This is desirable because you effectively pump less refrigerant through the system to maintain your required refrigerated temperature. Subcooling also prevents the liquid refrigerant from changing to a gas before it gets to the evaporator.
Key Features of A/C Superheat/Subcool System Analyzers
Automatically calculates Superheat/Subcool from measurements taken
Built-in P/T charts
Supports multiple refrigerants
Measures pressure and temperature
Calculate Superheat/Subcool in both Fahrenheit and Celsius
Display pressure in PSI or kPa
Calculate Superheat and Subcooling with Testo 905-T2 & 550
As you can see in the video a Testo digital manifold is used. Fieldpiece also offers a digital manifold with superheat and subcool capability. See them both here: HVAC Manifolds
Heater Blankets
Heater Blankets are wrapped around refrigerant tanks to to warm them up and speed up the charging process. By raising tank temperature, a positive pressure difference is created between the tank and the A/C system which pulls refrigerant into the system.
Key Features of Heater Blankets
Fits various sizes of refrigerant tanks
Thermostat included
Safety thermal cut-off switch to protect against overheating
Charging Scales
Charging Scales are used to track the weight of refrigerant charged into a refrigeration system.
This video gives an overview of the Fieldpiece SRS2 Wireless Refrigerant Scale. This instrument was the first wireless refrigerant scale in the industry. The included remote control is securely stored inside the back of the scale platform and features a magnetic hat so you can attach it to any metal surface and keep your hands free.
Refrigerant Identifiers and Analyzers
Refrigerant Identifiers are used to determine refrigerant type in recycling so that the refrigerant is collected in the correct storage cylinder. Recyclers will pay more if different refrigerants are kept separate. Reliable and affordable refrigerant identifying tools are available that make this possible.
Key Features of Refrigerant Identifiers
Displays the specific percentages of refrigerants and air in the system or tank
Visual and audible hydrocarbon alarm
Compact and lightweight design
Visible, error-proof oil filter with simple, low cost replacement
Thermostats are used to set desired room temperatures and control air conditioning and furnace operation.

Ana defeated world No.60 Chanelle Scheepers 6-2, 6-2 in the second round of the Mutua Madrid Open. The 25-year-old triumphed in just 56 minutes to extend her clay court win-loss record this season to 6-1.
Ana was aggressive throughout. She broke to lead 2-0 and never looked back, asserting her dominance with four further breaks (she was broken once herself). Six aces and a first serve percentage of 65 illustrate the confidence Ana showed on her serve.
Ana takes on world No.41 Laura Robson of Great Britain in the third round on Wednesday. Ana won her only previous encounter against the 19-year-old, 7-5, 6-4 in Tokyo two years ago. Robson comes into the match having shocked fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3, 6-1 on Monday.
The match is scheduled as the very last of the day, beginning sometime after 9.30pm local time on the Manolo Santana court. Click here for live point-by-point scoring from the Caja Magica.

A teacher recently wrote Science Buddies and asked how to get kids to sign up to participate in a (new) science fair because he was finding that kids "don't want to do extra work." It would be great to hear from science fair veterans with some ideas on this topic. Anyone want to add to this list (or contradict it)?
Here is a short list of some ideas:
1) Be sure to allow enough time so that the extra work of the science fair project can be done in small steps over time and won't seem overwhelming. Several months with clear milestones is ideal. See the schedule planner in our Teacher Resources area.
2) Make the science fair project is a class assignment that gets graded. Optional science fairs aren't as motivating.
3) If you can't make it a class requirement, offer participants incentives such as extra credit in class or extra school or classroom privileges (first in lunch line, get to make an announcement on the PA, front row seats at an assembly, etc.).
4) Will your budget allow prizes of any kind? Announce prizes in advance, even if they are small. Ribbons, certificates, or medals are nice. Check with your local Baskin Robbins or McDonald's to see if they will grant the school some gift certificates. Gift certificates for roller rinks, Walmart, movie theaters or other kid-friendly places would also be good.
5) Invite visitors to the fair and to any prep sessions (parents, the principal, community members) and make sure kids know that special guests will be coming to see their work.
6) Let students know their projects and names will be publicly recognized. Tell them that there will be a story about them in the school newsletter or website. Put up a bulletin board honoring the winners. Have the principal mention them or present them at a school assembly.
7) Make sure your fair is judged -- knowing their work will be judged is a motivator for many students.

In their respective, trailblazing bands X and 7 Seconds, Exene Cervenka and Kevin Seconds operated outside of the ironic constraints of American punk rock.
Cervenka's free-verse approach to rock songwriting made her a one-of-a-kind creative presence in first-wave punk, while Seconds' slight but effective melodies gave his band's closed-fisted hardcore a unique sense of vulnerability.
As solo artists — sharing a tour that hits Exit/In on Friday, April 1 — they both continue to carve their own path.
On her new album, The Excitement of Maybe, Cervenka uses rootsy backing (acoustic guitars, banjo and plentiful pedal steel) to construct an enjoyably skewed, freewheeling version of Americana.
Seconds' sprawling home-recorded efforts are the real surprise, however. The strummy bedroom pop he's worked up in recent years suggests he could have easily been part of the K Records gang instead of a hardcore figurehead.
The show starts at 8 p.m. Friday at Exit/In (2208 Elliston Place, 321-3340). Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 day of show.

There is such an explosion of Tangerine flavor in our new citrus oil that the vinegar can take a breather.
* Ingredients (4 servings) 1 large head Romaine lettuce
* ¼ c Black Olive Tapenade
* 1-4 oz. fresh Goat Cheese Medallion from Coach Farm (East Coast), or Cypress Grove (West Coast)
* ½ bunch Tarragon
* ¼ c Stonehouse Extra Virgin Tangerine Olive Oil
* Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1. Procedure After removing any discolored leaves, cut off the base of the head of Romaine about 2 " from the bottom. The leaves will then separate. Place the lettuce in a bowl and fill with cold water. Agitate the leaves and lift the lettuce out and transfer to another container. Any dirt should remain in the bowl of cold water. Repeat this process until the bowl is clear of dirt. Dry the Romaine well in a salad spinner or by blotting it with clean towels.
2. Pick the Tarragon leaves off the stem. If dirty, use the same cleaning procedure as for the Romaine.
3. In a serving bowl, combine the Romaine, Tarragon, goat cheese and Tapenade with the Tangerine Oil. Toss until the lettuce and herb leaves are well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

A St. Mary's County judge has sentenced a Calvert County man to six months in custody from his guilty plea to selling home improvement services in Valley Lee without a license.
Christopher David Manion, 39, of Huntingtown also was ordered to pay a $24,954 judgment. At a May 24 court hearing, the judge ruled that the six-month term be served concurrently with Manion's 35-year prison sentence imposed in April from theft convictions in a Charles County case, one that originally included charges of home improvement violations.
In the St. Mary's case, charging papers allege that Manion and 49-year-old Albert Lester Styles Jr. of North Beach, trading as Built-Tite Construction LLC, received $24,954 from a $60,000 contract for construction work at Christopher Burch's home, and that they left the job in April of last year before it was completed.
Styles also has pleaded guilty to selling home improvement without a license in the St. Mary's case, and he is scheduled to be sentenced later this month.
A prosecutor concurred last month at a hearing in Styles' case that Manion was the "more serious party" in the St. Mary's matter, and the prosecutor recommended a penalty for Styles of 90 days in jail. Styles' lawyer said his client cooperated in the Charles County investigation that put Manion in prison for 35 years, and that Styles has agreed to pay $5,000 in that case.

What do art theft, forest fires, chemistry, and murder have in common? If you said things that I participated in during my college years, you are no longer my friend (but you are also not very far off the mark.) All kidding aside, these are some of the subjects of books that will be discussed in Davenport Public Library's new non-fiction book club, "Truth Be Told." The goal of Truth Be Told Book Club is to offer a variety of books that span the Dewey Decimal System. This is a great group to join if you currently a member of another book club and you'd like to branch out, or if you are new to book clubs and are a fan of non-fiction. If you're curious about the titles we'll be reading, I have images of the book jackets below.

"Los Angeles delivers the goods. You betcha. She's happy, healthy
"It is possible to tell a great story in motion pictures in such a way that
Oil and oranges, automobile tires and airplanes, tourism and the movies made Los Angeles the most modern of American cities, a paradigm of the growth and prosperity that characterized the Twenties. The city population had grown to more than a million people in 1920, with over 2,000,000 visitors a year by the end of the decade.
Traffic jams beleaguered the downtown area where a new monumental city hall and spectacularly southwestern/Egyptian public library tickled civic pride. By 1920 the movie industry, centered in Hollywood, had become the biggest industry in L.A., with nearly 90 percent of all American movies being produced there. Movie palaces, such as Grauman's Chinese Theatre (which opened May 18, 1927, with Cecil B. DeMille's silent King of Kings) and Grauman's Million Dollar and Egyptian Theatres, dotted the landscape like temples.
The first footprints in the cement in front of Grauman's were those of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Hollywood's own royalty. Though film star Rudolph Valentino died, talkies replaced the silent movies, and scandal after scandal plagued Hollywood, the industry persisted and new film royalty emerged when glamorous Gloria Swanson and Greta Garbo graced the silver screens. Boosterism and tourism were attendant on the gospel of growth fueling the new, modern Los Angeles economy. All in all, it was for many Americans the very incarnation of the American Dream.

Show your audience a large pitcher FILLED with milk. Form an ordinary newspaper into a cone while talking about evaporation of liquids by magic. Your audience watches in amazement as you pour nearly the entire pitcher of milk into the cone. Wait a minute- why doesn't the milk seep right through the paper??
If that's not amazing enough, when you crumble up the paper cone into a ball, apparently with the milk inside- the milk has VANISHED and the paper is dry! This gets a strong reaction every time!
Another idea- pour the milk into the paper cone, but when you quickly fling the cone open, out comes a shower of confetti! Your audience will love the surprise!
Nice large size- it's a big 60-ounce capacity. Made of high-impact plastic. Best of all- it's completely self-contained!
You probably should not use regular cow's milk with this routine, as milk can spoil and because of the fat content, can be difficult to rinse out of the pitcher. Here are some options: Option 1: Use soy milk, which does not spoil and can be sipped during the routine to prove that it's real milk. Option 2: Mix up some powdered milk just before showtime. Again, the milk can be sipped, and it is easy to transport because you keep it in powdered form until you use it.Option 3: NOT RECOMMENDED to use the solution marketed as OOM. This is concentrated machinist's cutting oil which, when mixed with water, turns the water a milky color. It's not suitable to be ingested! It also has a strong smell; your audience will know it's not real milk, and will mistakenly think that the trick works by using some sort of fake milk. Plus the oil will cause your pitcher to discolor over time. Not good! Option 4: Use water colored with food coloring.
60-ounce clear plastic Milk Pitcherprinted instructionsBONUS: Monticup's video teaching you how to fill the pitcherYou supply the liquid, the paper cone and the confetti.
Louis Nikola and Roy Enoc are both credited with introducing the concept of this trick. Interested in magic history? Visit our free online Magic Library, full of biographies of famous magicians plus lots of magic history and trivia!

We are blocking very poorly so it wont matter
We are blocking very poorly so it wont matter
If "my plan" as you put it is not put into place then Tannehill will fail as a qb...its funny the examples you use of Foster and Gore...neither was a high pick and not really considered a "can't miss" guy. Get more athletic on the perimeter and at guard. I betcha the current admin is lining up ThomaS and Miller to be the guys next year. Positions like wr de and cb is where it is at.
Most recent SB winners were lower tier running teams. In fact the Giants were dead LAST. While it's necessary to be able to run, this is a passing league, and RB's can be found in later rounds. Also, I thought we "stole" Miller in the 4th. Give the guy a shot with Thomas. Besides, we can't run now because teams have no reason to respect our offense beyond 8-10 yards as we have no deep threat whether on the sidelines or in the seam. Throw in the fact that we are a zone blocking team with guys on the OL that have very little mobility (save Pouncey). Won't get into the fact that they can't pass block either, but it's too depressing to talk about.
Bottom line is we need multiple game breaking threats at WR, TE and even slot (Bess is no threat). Besides CB, all top picks should be spent on friggen playmakers on O.
Oh, and please Ross....PLEASE don't let Ireland make those picks. Guy couldn't find a playmaker if his life depended on it.
Foster went undrafted, Gore was a 3rd rounder and the muscle hamster was a #1. We both want to see the team play better and a verticle threat has to happen first. I guess I'm just not sold on Thomas. I really like Miller but we've seen so little of him. Do we keep Bush and use him like New Orleans did? I just wish we could land a Doug Martin type guy.
Ultimately, If I could have a 6-3/6-4 WR with some speed and catchability and smarts and a big TE in Eifert, I think that takes a lot of pressure Off Tannehill. I like your thoughts on the G spot. Jerry isnt lighting it up and you always have to keep your Oline moving into the future.
Big TE
Ray Rice type RB and you have a full deck IMO minus OL
You could easily find that in this upcoming draft IMO with how we are situated.
As inconsistant as Marshall was, he opened up the running game. With a big time receiver who can get open & then stretch the field, then the running game will improve. Bush got over 1000 yards last year. ar with a genuine number 1 receiver, he could, or Miller, do that next yeear.
On board with 54. A Ray Rice type would be awesome. I think he was a second round pick for the Ravens.
Doug Martin is having a great year no doubt. That said, do any of you remember that prior to concerns about his shoulder Lamar Miller was considered the second best back in the draft behind Richardson and ahead of Martin. Lamar Miller is our answer. His learning curve has been slow and that has kept him off the field but once he learns the offense and his assignments I have little doubt in his ability to be a stud. Think Bush, only faster, more decisive and with 20 extra pounds.

A defiant Lewis Hamilton insists his decision not to allow Nico Rosberg through in Hungary was "just a case of not giving a single point away"...
A defiant Lewis Hamilton insists his decision not to allow Nico Rosberg through in Hungary was "just a case of not giving a single point away".
Mercedes' powers that be have been forced to put out a lot of flames since Sunday's race at Hungagoring after Hamilton was accused of ignoring team orders.
The 2008 World Champion was told to let Rosberg through over the team radio and he replied that he would not slow down so it was up to the German to get close enough and overtake him.
After the race Hamilton admitted he was "very, very shocked" that the team asked him to move aside while Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda felt he was right not to let his team-mate through.
Now that that dust has settled a little, Hamilton believes he did the right thing as he is "hired to race" and doesn't feel "obligated to help".
"It was not about questioning authority, and I don't think I was being ruthless," he is quoted as saying by Press Association.
"I was not even being bloody minded. I was doing my job and got to the top.
"I am hired to race and bring in points for the team. I am also hired to be me and race my heart out.
"I did not start at the front of the pack. I started from the pit lane, so in my mind I could not afford to lose anything else. I have already given away too much.
"At the end of the year I could be looking back saying 'if only the car did not catch on fire', or 'if only the brakes didn't fail', 'if only I hadn't made a mistake in qualifying', 'if only the engine had not stopped in the race'...all these things.
"So it was just a case of not giving a single point away. I tried my hardest to be ahead and I don't feel as though I was being obligated to help."

Good afternoon Dolphins fans! Here's my Midseason Mock Draft Video
Good afternoon Dolphins fans! Here's my Midseason Mock Draft Video
"Where Football Makes Sense"
Thanks for your time and effort............CEO.
Can't see Amerson going that high after this season but I would love to land Keenan Allen. Don't see us picking in the top 10 either...if the season ended today we'd be in the playoffs and picking 20th.
I stopped watching after Amerson at 5. Doesn't anyone watch gametapes anymore? That guy has been toasted all season long. He's been exposed. Top 5 picks are supposed to be sure thing studs, not guys who are 1 year wonders who struggle like he is.
To be a top 5 pick at corner, you need to be a talent like Champ Bailey, Patrick Peterson, etc.....guys who dominated and shut down WRs.
How did u determine draft order. I don't see us picking 10. But two thumbs up for Keenan.
As for Champ and Peterson, those guys did get beat at times, but it wasn't consistently and was usually by really good players (you mentioned Julio Jones, another top 10 pick). While Amerson was beat by Patterson, who's real good, he was beat a lot by other guys too, looked completely disinterested in tackling the entire game against UCONN and looks to struggle in man coverage. I'm curious to see how he plays for the rest of the year and then what he tests at, especially his long speed.

Many fungi undergo a reproductive phase in which more than one genetically distinct nuclei (from 2 separate mating types) is present within the same cytoplasm. In the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, this phase is termed "dikaryotic", whereas in other fungal phyla the phase is "heterokaryotic." What is the difference here? Is it purely number of nuclei per cell, or does the difference depend on how many genetically distinct nuclei are present (2 or >2)?

What is the difference between "dikaryotic" and "heterokaryotic" states in the sexual lifecyles of fungi?
A heterokaryon is a fungal cell which has two or more genetically-distinct but allelically-compatible nuclei, as suggested by this resource, as well as this Wikipedia article.
A dikaryon is a fungal cell which has precisely two genetically-distinct but allelically-compatible nuclei, as shown here and here.
In this sense, a heterokaryon is a general term, whereas a dikaryon is a specific term. A dikaryon and a trikaryon (although not often seen in literature) are both heterokaryons.

Child Protection
As a society, our efforts to prevent crimes against children have not kept pace with the increasing vulnerability of our youngest citizens. After hearing tragic stories about abducted or exploited children, most parents are surprised to learn that many crimes against children can be prevented.
The most important key to child safety is effective communication with your child. Remember, children who do not feel that they are listened to or who do not think that their needs are met in the home are more vulnerable to abduction or exploitation. The first step you should take is to establish an atmosphere in the home in which your child feels truly comfortable in discussing sensitive matters and in relating experiences in which someone may have approached the child in an inappropriate manner or in a way that made the child feel uncomfortable. The simple truth is that children are often too afraid or confused to report their experiences and fears. In some ways, you should treat your children as you do your adult friends — allow them to talk freely about their likes and dislikes, their friends, their true feelings.
Unfortunately, the rising awareness of crimes against children has left many families with a real sense of fear. You and your child need to be careful and aware, but you do not need to be afraid. Talk to your child in a calm and reassuring manner, being careful not to discuss the frightening details of what might happen to a child who does not follow the safety guidelines.
The Exploiter or Abductor: Not a "Stranger"
Children can be raised to be polite and friendly, but it is okay for them to be suspicious of any adult asking for assistance. Children help other children, but there is no need for them to be assisting adults. Children should not be asked to touch anyone in the areas of their body that would be covered by a bathing suit or allow anyone to touch them in those areas.
Often exploiters or abductors initiate a seemingly innocent contact with the victim. They may try to get to know the children and befriend them. They use subtle approaches that both parents and children should be aware of. Children should learn to stay away from individuals in cars or vans; and they should know that it is okay to say no — even to an adult. Since children are often reared to respect authority and never to be a tattletale, parents should explain why the child's personal safety is more important than being polite. Children should also be taught that there will always be someone who can help them.
Remember, a clear, calm, and reassuring message about situations and actions to look out for is easier for a child to understand than a particular profile or image of a "stranger."
What you can to to prevent child abduction and exploitation
Basic rules of safety for children
Children should be taught:
Detecting Sexual Exploitation
Sexual exploitation should not be confused with physical contacts that are true expressions of affection. A warm and healthy relationship can exist if adults respect the child and place reasonable limits on their physical interaction.
Child molesting is often a repeat crime. Many kids are victimized a number of times. The reality of sexual exploitation is that often the child is very confused, uncomfortable, and unwilling to talk about the experience to parents, teachers, or anyone else. But they will talk if you have already established an atmosphere of trust and support in your home, where your child will feel free to talk without fear of accusation, blame, or guilt.
Parents should be alert to these indicators of sexual abuse:
Child protection is the responsibility of everyone

Venue: Yas Marina
Circuit Length: 5.554 Km
Laps: 55
Lap Record: 1:40.279 = 199.387 km/h S. Vettel (Red Bull Renault) 2009
If your name's not Hamilton or Vettel, you've done nothing at Yas Marina: they have shared poles and fastest laps and Seb has won twice on the island track.
The World Champion is still on course to beat Nigel Mansell's all-time record of 14 poles in a season for Williams in 1992 – but Vettel needs to be first on the grid in Abu Dhabi and Brazil.
He can also match the highest number of wins by any driver in a season, the 13 achieved by Michael Schumacher in 2004 with Ferrari – but he must win Abu Dhabi and Brazil.
Six of the corners are taken at under 100 km/h – only Monaco, Singapore and Valencia have more.
But Jenson Button, for one, thinks DRS will make for real overtaking opportunities at a track where it's been notoriously hard.
Among its special features Mark lists the Yas Hotel: as he says, "Where else can you drive under your room??"

The Defense and Veterans Affairs departments are building an integrated military and veteran support system that is fundamentally different and far more robust than in the past, Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta told a congressional panel July 25.
Panetta addressed a relatively rare joint hearing of the House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committees to discuss assistance for service members as they return to civilian life. Joining him was VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki.
"This hearing comes at a very important time for our nation and for collaboration between our two departments," Panetta told the panel.
A new generation of service members and veterans is coming home today, he said. "They have fought and died to protect this country, and we need to fight to protect them," he added.
The two departments are working more closely together, Panetta said. "But frankly," he added, "we have much more to do to try to reach a level of cooperation to better meet the needs of those who have served our nation in uniform, especially our wounded warriors."
Returning service members and veterans deserve a seamless support system, the secretary said, "so they can put their lives back together, pursue their goals, give back to their communities, and strengthen our nation in new ways."
Such an effort takes tremendous commitment on the part of all Americans, he said, describing collaboration between the two departments led by a joint committee co-chaired by Erin C. Conaton, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, and W. Scott Gould, deputy VA secretary.
DOD and VA also are enhancing collaboration across five priority areas, Panetta told the panel.
One effort is called the Transition GPS Program, announced July 23 by President Barack Obama.
"At the Department of Defense, our goal is to provide a comprehensive transition assistance program that prepares those who are leaving the service for the next step, whether that is pursuing additional education, whether it's trying to find a job in the public sector or the private sector, or whether it's starting [a new] business," Panetta said.
The transition program, he added, will ensure that every service member develops an individual transition plan, meets new career-readiness standards, "and is prepared to apply their valuable military experience however and wherever they choose."
DOD and VA also are collaborating on a single integrated disability evaluation system that lets officials in both departments work together to reduce layers of bureaucracy for service members and veterans and to shorten the wait for disability compensation after separating from the military.
The departments also have undertaken a major initiative in the area of electronic health records for a seamless transition between DOD and VA health care systems, targeted for completion by 2017.
"This is not easy," Panetta said, explaining that the plan is to complete this process in San Antonio and Hampton Roads, Va., and then to expand it to every other hospital.
"If we can achieve this, it would be a very significant achievement that I think could be a model not only for the hospitals that we run, but for hospitals in the private sector as well," the secretary added.
DOD and VA also collaborate on mental and behavioral health, including improving the ability to identify and treat post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. This includes a review across the services of reports of problems with modifying diagnoses for post-traumatic stress in the military disability evaluation system. The secretary said he anticipates the review, led by Conaton, will take 18 months.
The departments also are working together in suicide prevention, including promoting cultures of help-seeking, improving access to mental and behavioral health care, emphasizing mental fitness, and working with other agencies to better understand the issue of suicide.
"One of the things that I'm trying to stress," Panetta told the panel, "is that we have got to improve the ability of leadership within the military to see these issues, to see them coming and to do something to try to prevent it from happening."
Panetta noted that he is a former congressman who has spent more than 40 years in government. "I am well aware that too often the very best intentions … for caring for our veterans can get trapped in bureaucratic infighting," he said. "It gets trapped by conflicting rules and regulations, [and] it gets trapped by frustrating levels of responsibility."
This, he said, cannot be an excuse for failing to deal with these issues.
"It should be a challenge for both the VA and DOD, for the Congress and for the administration to try to meet that challenge together," he said. "Our warriors are trained not to fail on the battlefield. We must be committed not to fail them on the home front."

The Creston cross country teams had plenty to celebrate at the team's postseason awards banquet Sunday evening, after a historic season.
But, head coach Pat Schlapia said the only people who should be looking back on this past season are the seniors. Everyone else should be looking ahead to the future.
"Somebody talked to me about not looking back," Schlapia said. "We're not looking back, we're looking forward. The only ones who can look back are the seniors leaving this season. We don't look back, we always look forward."
There were plenty of highlights for the Panthers this season.
The boys team qualified for the state meet for the first time in 25 years. With Cooper McDermott, Jay Wolfe and Maria Mostek all qualifying individually, the Panthers sent the most individual qualifiers to state in school history for a single season.
With the three individual qualifiers, the Panthers have now sent 15 individuals to state in the past 14 years.
The boys team won three meets this season — Ballard, Orient-Macksburg and Nodaway Valley. The win at the Nodaway Valley Invitational was the third straight team title for the Panthers at the meet.
The girls team won the Orient-Macksburg meet, giving the Panthers a clean sweep in the team standings. They also finished second at the Nodaway Valley meet to Class 1A top-ranked Griswold.
Mostek became the first Creston girl to ever qualify for the state meet three times.
McDermott broke the single season school record for individual meet wins with six, and became just the second Creston runner to win the Hawkeye 10 Conference Meet.
"This was a very special season for us," Schlapia said. "A lot of things have happened for us that have never happened before, or it's been a long time coming. We feel it's been a very successful season."
Moving forward
Schlapia stressed that his team shouldn't rest on the success it had this season.
After having 15 runners participate in the summer running program prior to this season, he said his goal was for that number to double heading into next season.
The Panthers will return 31 runners from this year's team next year after graduating nine seniors.
Three of those seniors — Garret Taylor, Kruz Adamson and Zack Peppmeier — competed at the state meet as part of the boys team.
For those 31 returners, Schlapia said they should try to repeat the feeling of success they had this year.
It shouldn't be another 25 years for a boys team to qualify for state, and it shouldn't take 21-plus years for a girls team to qualify, he said.
"I knew we had a lot of promise coming back, a lot of potential," Schlapia said. "Sometimes that promise and potential doesn't follow through. We had a lot of good senior leadership. We talked about running for excellence this season and, by gosh, we ran for excellence each and every meet this season."
Schlapia said he was extremely proud of the way his runners became a team this season.
"I was really very proud of how this team came together this year," he said. "Yes, this has probably been one of the most successful boys teams in the past 25 years and one of the most successful girls teams in the past 20 years. Individuals came together as a team this year. When we saw this team bond together, it was more than just what we saw out on the cross country course."
Schlapia thanked each of the nine seniors for their commitment to the program and for the legacy they will leave behind.
"We always want to make sure we have a nice sendoff for our seniors," he said.
Seniors Adamson and Taylor were presented with the Chris Wyatt Award.
"The 40 kids we finished the season with, this is a special group of kids," Schlapia said. "I can't think of a better group of kids."
